HT201700 85W MagSafe power adaptor good for europe?

Can I use my existing power adaptor for my MacBook pro in Europe using the Apple World Traveling kit?  Do I need an AC converter?

I did buy everything before I left the US... even bought one of the 220/110 converters at a luggage store - now I don't need that since the Apple World Kit works  -- I was afraid of burning out my AC adaptor but it worked like a charm just using the Apple World Kit.  They should label them - but not hard to figure out.  I wish I could buy individual adaptors since I have an iPad, iPhone 5 and MacBook Pro with me.  Lastly, I had to use my lighting cord for the iPhone 5.

  • MacBook Pro Hard-Drive and MagSafe Power Adaptor

    I have just purchased a 15.4" MacBook Pro (Model number A1150) from eBay. The system was sold as being for spares or repair and because I'm up for a challenge and desperate to break away from my ties to Windows and move into the Mac world I thought I try the 'repair' route.
    The system I have is model number A1150.  It dates from early 2006 and has a 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo processor.  Having opened the case up I found there is no hard drive installed so I need to purchase a new one.  I know that the system shipped with an 80Gb SATA hard drive but I don’t have any more detailed information than that.  Is anybody able to advise me what make, model and full specification of hard-drive I need to purchase to help bring this machine back to life?
    In addition, the system did not have a MagSafe power adaptor so I need to purchase a new one.  The technical specifications show that I need to get hold of an 85w MagSafe adaptor, but I believe there are different types of adaptor available now.  Could somebody let me know what type of adaptor I need?
    Thanks in advance – I’m sure I’ll have some more questions as I hit new obstacles!

  • 85w Magsafe Power Adapter Plastic cover

    THe 85w Magsafe Power adapter comes with a plastic protective cover for the magnetic DC connector . I lost mine. Does anyone know if Apple or anyone else sells it. Im just really bothered by it. Plus I dont want dust to accumulate on the magnetic DC connector.

    The magnet is in the MBP not in the connector on the AC adapter.
    i'm not really sure about that. I wish you could just answer my query and be helpful. Or correct me and at the same time offer a solution or answer to the question. That would really help. Don't post if you don't want to help.
    But for arguments sake. According to:
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=816 A0BD3&fnode=home/shopmac/macaccessories/power&nplm=MA938LL/A#overview
    "The 85 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter features a MAGNETIC DC CONNECTOR that ensures your power cable will disconnect if it experiences undue strain and helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. In addition, the MAGNETIC DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection.
    plus, this apple page:
    http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/design.html
    says that,
    "Innovative right down to the power cord._The MacBook Pro power adapter with MagSafe connector is just that: a magnetic connection instead of a physical one._"
    I dont know, maybe the mbp connector has a magnet also, but im very sure according to apple the 85w Magsafe adapter has a magnet.
    Anyway, it doesnt really matter to me where the magnet is. As long as it magnetically connects.

  • Can I used my New MBP13' with a 85W MagSafe Power Adapter

    I just bought a new MBP 13' with MagSafe 60W. Can I used my old Charger 85W(My old MBP Mid 2008 85W MagSafe Power Adapter) It does work, but what will happen to the battery? will it ruin the battery life? will it overcharged?

    No it won't do any harm
    (It will just draw what's required and then shut off as normal)

  • Magnetic debris stuck in the magsafe power adaptor port on Macbook Pro

    I searched and could not find any good advice on what to do if a magnetic particle is stuck in the magsafe power port. The Apple manual gives advice to use a cotton swab but this is futile for a magnetic or metal particle as they are held tightly in by the magnetic attraction of the power port.
    Interestingly, I see very little reference to this occurring for folks. For me it happened on both my older MacBook and my new one - 2-3 times on my older - this is the first on my 2010 model. Of course, I don't just perch my laptop on a desk and idolize it - I use it everywhere!
    I tried to "fight fire with fire" by using a strong magnet but even that was not strong enough to coax out the bit of metal.
    I finally found a good solution. I "sharpened" an old corner of a credit card using scissors so it had a slightly sharp edge (on an inside corner where I had cut the card in 4) - not too sharp so its easily bent as from what i find, you need a lot of force to pry the magnetic debris out. I had tried the credit card w/o sharpening but you need to "dig under" the debris and pop it out. Once I had my new CC fragment tool in hand - I was able to move the magnetic particle to the side, pry under it and pop it out.
    On my older macbook, the solution was not so elegant - I used a small flathead screewdriver - I don’t recommend that! It scratches up the inside of the magsafe power port - though it was still functional.

    Errr, its not like I'm on the floor of a steel mill!! Serious risk of fire?? If you believe that from small "magnetic" pebbles then I've got some swamp land in Florida I think you'd be interested in.
    Seriously, nothing that unusual; on the carpeted floor, on the buss, in my laptop bag -- I have no idea where I'm picking this stuff up from but as I've come to learn, its not that unusual for very small bits of magnetized debris to get picked up by this magsafe port. Not like every other day - something like once a year.

  • Compatibility of new apple 85W MagSafe Power Adapter L-style and Macbook Pro, mid 2007

    My old Magsafe (T-style) is broken and I need new one, but I have dilemma: Is new Magsafe L-style adapter compatible with my Macbook Pro, mid 2007 15.4-inch: 2.2GHz (MA895LL).
    Please reply.

    Just looked at the warranty information with an earlier version power adapter (one for PowerBooks) and it is one year.  That seems to still be the standard Apple warranty for Apple branded accessories.
    Call Apple, go to an Apple store or go online and get it replaced.

  • Is there away around the Power adaptor icon for my ipod?

    I did a factory reset on my iPod today b.c i have been having trouble syncing up the ipod using iTunes. I used the latest firmware updater from Apple btw.
    So when the factory reset was complete the app told me to plug the iPod into it's power supply, but I don't have one!
    Now the ipod has the Power adaptor Icon on it because it's waiting to be pluged in, is there a way around this? I'm using an Apple USB cable if that makes any difference.
    Thanks, Tim

    Connect the iPod to your computer with a FireWire cable if your computer has a 6-pin FireWire port, or use a car adaptor, or try the option on this page.

  • Is a 60watt MagSafe Power Adapter compatabile for a MacAir?

    I have a 45watt Mag Safe Power Adapter for my MacAir.  I also have a 60 watt Mag Safe Adapter, and says on box, only for MacBook/Pro.  Can I use this for my MacAir??

    To quote from below linked article from Apple:
    "Power adapters for Intel-based Apple notebooks are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. Although you should always use the proper wattage adapter for your Apple notebook, you can use an adapter of a higher wattage without issue."

  • Power adaptor/transformer for Sony Tablet S 16

    I am about to buy a gift for my parents in EU (I am in US). I called Sony to find out if I need a new adaptor for EU. I got a vary vague answer. I checked the Specs, notheing. My question is. Do I need a different adaptor/tranformer (to use the tablet on 220V instead of 110) or I only need a wall adaptor for the plug? If you can, can you check what is written on your adaptor? I have 2 PCs and all of them do not need a different transformer. TX

    Hello,
    Welcome to the User Discussion Forums.
    The AC Adapter is labeled and rated to handle 100V~240V 50/60 Hz and will work anywhere without a power converter. You will need a socket adapter. The same power cord is with it that is used with your own VAIO AC Adapters. If your parents do not wish to use a plug adapter they can enter any store that sells Sony products and ask to purchase a power cord with the "figure eight" tip on the side that connects to the Adapter Brick/Transformer.

  • Does power supply good for 8800GT\9600GT?

    hi to all.
    i have this power supply
    http://www.k-mex.com/Webforms/ProductInfoPage.aspx?KindNo=0000000005&ProductNo=0000000048 (500W)
    does this power supply meet the minimum reqiurd for ge-force 8800GT or even to ge-force 9600GT?

     To use one of those cards I would say a Corsair VX450W that has +12V~33A single rail would be good choice in the $70-$80 price range. If you were to get 8800 Ultra then a VX550W +12V~41A rail would be better choice. PC Power & Cooling single rails are also very good choice. If you're in the U.S. check newegg for prices as they had some specials going.

  • Can Macbook(2007 late) 60W MagSafe Power Adapter be used for New Macbook Air 13" ?

    Can anybody share your experience?

    Thanks captfred's reply.
    I go to Apple reseller to get the "Magsafe to Magsafe 2 converter" and test it with my old T-style 60W adaptor.
    So far, my new Macbook Air is still working.
    Hope my experience can help other user.
    BTW, I don't know how to change "This helped me" to "This solved my question".
    So, sorry captfred, I can't add your point.

  • Replacing the plastic cap on the magsafe power adapter

    I really love the tiny plastic caps that Apple sticks on top of the magsafe power adaptors, but alas! I finally lost mine today and am wondering where I can find a replacement (or two, or three). I have had no luck searching online for a solution.
    Please advise!
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Just wondering whether anybody else who has lost the magsafe adapter's plastic cap knows where to track down a replacement. It seems like a common item to lose, yet I can't find a vendor, including Apple, that is selling replacements. I'm worried that the adapter might get dirty or ruined from exposure to dust and other particles.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Using multiple magsafe Power adapters...

    I need to know if it´s possible to use my old 85W magsafe power adapter from my previous MBPro, or I just can use the original 45 W Magsafe power adapter that comes with the MBA ?
    Is there a risk to damage something?

    There is no risk - the 24" and 27" supply up to 85W thru the integrated MagSafe connector for example
    Apart from the smaller form factor, I cannot see why Apple will not standardise on the 85W and have one power adapter for all MagSafe equipped portables
    Surely it make for a long term saving due to less inventory at Apple and would be less confusing for the consumer especially if you have ever tried to power on a 15" or 17" MBP using an MBA specific charger...

  • Airplane power adapter cord for PowerBook..?

    Apple recently announced a power adaptor cord for the MacProBook to be used on the airlines..
    Is there also a similar product that is available for the PowerBook G4 ?

    Hi Robert,
    Cords for G4 Powerbooks are only available from third-parties, like Madsonline - http://www.madsonline.com/Auto_Adapters.html .
    Apple has only released a magsafe version to avoid having to license the connector.
