Which adapter plug in World Travel Adapter Kit is right for Argentina?

My father in law is off to Argentina with his PowerBook in tow. We know it can handle the voltage down there but I don't know which world adapter plug he needs as it's not listed as one of the choices in the World Travel Adapter Kit. Nothing for South America is listed in the kit, for that matter. Any ideas?
Thanks much,
Jake

Jake,
Check out this site for the type of connector and voltage used in Argentina (and everywhere else for that matter).

It is the "Australian" type that he needs.
If he hasn't already bought Apple's adapter kit I'd recommend he just buy a travel adapter in Argentina, or in the Airport departure lounge on the way out - they only cost a couple of bucks and will work just fine. When I moved from Canada to the UK nearly two years ago I thought the Apple kit was overpriced - spent £2 on the relevant travel adapter that I'm still using.
Good luck,
Gareth

Which travel adapter do I use she traveling in Russia?

I am traveling through Russia on a river cruise. Which Apple travel adapter do I use for the electrical converter?

Hi lizziezil,
The link below is for the product you are inquiring about from the Apple Store.
There is a plug for Europe in this kit.
Apple World Travel Adapter Kit - Apple Store (U.S.)
Product Information
The World Travel Adapter Kit includes a USB power adapter, a 30-pin to USB cable, and a set of six AC plugs with prongs that fit different electrical outlets around the world. For world travelers, this is the perfect kit to ensure power connectivity in most countries you may travel to.
The Kit is designed to work with iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple MagSafe Power Adapters (for MacBook and MacBook Pro), Portable Power Adapters (for iBook and PowerBook), and AirPort Express.
The AC plugs included in the World Travel Adapter Kit directly support outlets in North America, Japan, China, United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Korea, Australia, and Hong Kong.
Please note. To use this kit with devices that use a Lightning connector — such as iPhone 5, iPad mini, and iPad with Retina display — you will need a Lightning to USB Cable, sold separately.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

HT1981 I will use my 110V MacBook in the Philippines which has 220V sockets. Will the World Travel Adapter Kit help me?

I will use my 110V MacBook in the Philippines which has 220V sockets. Will the World Travel Adapter Kit help me?

Assuming you're in North America now, you probably won't need any sort of plug adaptor there; most sockets in the Philippines are the same as those in North America. In case you do, it doesn't contain the correct adaptor.
Voltage conversion is handled by the MacBook without any additional components.

World Travel Adapter kit and India

I am going to India. I want to take my ipod and charge it while I am there. Does the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit have a plug that will work in India? I have the USB power adapter already.
Thanks!

Ketchupchips,
This article should give you comfort in finding what you need once you get there if what you have does not fit.
http://www.channeltimes.com/India/News/AppleiPod_Mini_Now_Available_inIndia/551-17306-783.html
The adapter kit should be all you need. India uses two round pins just far enough apart to fit a small finger between them. You would not want to leave your finger in that position while plugging it in, though. : )
This site gives the specs:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/StoreReentry. wo?productLearnMore=M8794G%2FB
"The World Travel Adapter Kit includes a set of six AC plugs with prongs that fit different electrical outlets around the world. For world travelers, this is the perfect kit to ensure power connectivity in most countries you may travel to. The Kit is designed to work with (and requires) the white portable power adapter that ships with iBook, MacBook Pro, and PowerBook G4, and it also works with the iPod USB Power Adapter and iPod FireWire Power Adapter (available separately). The AC plugs included in the World Travel Adapter Kit directly support outlets in North America, Japan, China, United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Korea, Australia, and Hong Kong.
Compatible with power adapters for iBook, MacBook Pro, PowerBook G4, iPod USB Power Adapter, and iPod FireWire Power Adapter."
While they do not specifically mention India in the list, India uses the British style plug.
The only unresolved question in my mind is if you have a 220 volt adapter or if the power adapter you have auto senses 220 volts and adapts. I presume it does but you will want to make sure for your specific product. This comment is typical of Apple power supplies:
"People mentioning anything about a convertor are misinformed. I am in Germany as I type this and the product works perfectly. 100-240V means you DO NOT NEED a convertor."
The person commenting does not specify which Apple product they are using in Germany so just look at your adapter/power supply and make sure it says 110/220 volts.
Bon voyage,
Ji˜m
A quick check here confirms my belief that your iPod should do fine with current up to 240 v.

Travel adapter needs for iPod

Hi all:
I'm loaning my G4 20GB iPod to a friend who will be traveling to Ireland, England, Italy and the Ukraine and I want to be sure that the iPod isn't fried when he tries to charge it.
I'm giving him one of my Firewire AC Wall Chargers and a Firewire cable. Will he need a voltage converter in addition to the appropriate AC plugs for each country? Or will just the appropriate AC plugs do? Is buying Apple's own travel adapter kit necessary, or will any other particular brand of plugs do just as well?
All advice and recommendations are appreciated!

If yours are the Apple iPod power adapter, then it should be ok, as which is i.e. 110-240V, please take a look of it, it shows the specification. However, your friend may need the AC univeral plug, e.g. 2 pins or 3 pins

Travel Adapter and iPod USB Power Adapter

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question but this is all new to me so please bear with me I just bought an iPod video, a World Travel Adapter kit and the Power Duo kit - which contains a power block wall charger, USB mini cable, and car charger. I was looking at the plugs in the travel kit and do not see how they work. The product data says that it works with the USB power adapter - which at this point I am assuming is different than the power block wall charger? Can someone verify this for me? Also, can someone then tell me how these travel adapters plug into the USB power adapter (or power block wall charger) so that they can be used when traveling overseas. I can't tell from the photo of the USB adapter how this would be done...I don't want to buy yet another power adapter if I don't need one, but I sure can't see how they work with what I have so far or how they would work with the USB power adapter..I would have thought that the travel kit would have some with everything that I need but apparently it doesn't.
Thanks in advance.

ipod video Other OS

Now I have hooked it up to a PC without itunes on it. The ipods says it is charging but when you disconnect you can see that the battery level is even lower. Does this mean that I should just take back the ipod to exchange it for a working one?
Thanks

Travel Adapter question

Which plug for Europe??
I have purchased the World Travel Adapter Kit. For a trip to Germany with the G4 PowerBook, I want to take just the adapter that will work there. According to the Manual, this is the one with "Round Thin Pins." However, I have two other European adapter plugs (a Radio Shack one and some other kind) which very closely resemble the "Round Thick Pins" part in the kit which says it's for Korea. They are MUCH thicker than the pins on the one labeled for Europe.
Is there any chance these two items are switched around in the kit? I am hoping to either hear from someone with personal experience with these, or some reassurance from Apple as to which one is correct. Thanks very much!

Your MacBook or better said the MagSafe of it has a auto-sensing and auto-switching power supply the correct adapter from the World Travel Kit is all you need.

Visting Peru,Does the World Travel Adapter Kit work there/need converter??

I'm planning to go to Peru for the summer, I want to take my macbook and I'm also thinking of buying an ipod 30g video. I know the voltage is 220, but the thing is this my first time I'll be travelling with my macbook being that it cost me soo much money.
Will the World Travel Adapter Kit work there and Do I need to buy a converter?? Because on the packaging it says all the countries that it'll work in and there's no mention of South America and I've asked at the Apple Store and they basically said "it should" but I just want to be certain. Do I need to get anything else? I don't plan to go online over there so , Do I need to buy a Travel Surge Protector??

If you have an iPod power supply (AC adapter) these are also automatically
switching or auto-detecting, so all you'd need is the little end part from the
world travel kit. If the design of the iPod AC Adapter is like the ones I've
seen (standard Apple unit) which looks like the MacBook's, you can take the
same adapter piece and use it in place of the other adapter's AC - in
part. The little end part of the adapter (which you can take off to put on
the long AC - in power cord, instead of the prong/plug on adapter part)
comes off when proper effort is applied to it. It is not an easy to come off
item, but you can carefully slide/push the piece to get it off.
[There are third-party chargers for iPods but they may not be
auto-switching or support both 110/220 volts. You can charge
an iPod from the USB cable, but it would then be using the
computer's power. If the portable is fully charged and you
have access to an AC power source, you could easily charge
an iPod from the computer without discharging the MacBook.]
If you have the long AC power cord that goes with the MacBook's AC adapter,
you can see how the modular plug usually shipped on the power adapter is
on the inside; this may help in understanding how it comes off. The world
power adapter kit (from Apple) has matching parts to utilize this feature.
I use a long power cord all the time on my iBook's power adapter; and
the part is identical in how it comes off, as the iPod's standard (cube)
AC power adapter. If nothing else and you are in a travel store, such as
one would find in a larger airport, ask about those single power plugs
that are used for electronics which auto-detect and switch; these are
not real "power converters" since they only need to physically match
the power utility's shape, not change the power from 110/220 or back.
They are the most basic adapters because do not change the electricity,
your Apple product will truly do the adapting to the regional AC power.
[If the end of the iPod adapter is not like that of your MacBook's
(they are like the PowerBook/iBookG4 most exactly) you may
need to check the World kit from Apple as it would likely have
the correct parts; should they have a subtle difference in fit.]
(With few exceptions. There are some products that require a regional
power supply; those are listed in the Apple Support power adapter page.)
•Apple authorized resellers have Apple iPod chargers; so
a visit to them may be necessary to get the correct one
for your iPod. Be sure to look or ask about traveling and
if the unit you find is capable of auto-detecting and running
on 110 and 220 with only a prong adapter kit.

Which AC adapter do i use in India?

Hi,
I have a Powerbook and want to use it in India. Mine runs on 110V and is made for flat pin sockets.
In India the voltage is 220-240 V and the sockets are round shaped.
Can anyone suggest the following -
1. Name of the AC adapter that can be used.
2. I want to purchase the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit, will it come with a 110V to 240V converter?
regards,
sameer.

Welcome to the Discussions Sameer.
Take a look at your AC adapter. It should say "Input 1.2A 100-240V", which means that it can automatically handle input voltage in that range, so it will work fine in India (or anywhere else in the world) in regards to supplying power.
The only thing you have to do is use the correct plug adapter for the round pins. The Apple World Travel Adapter Kit contains neat plugs for the AC adapter (not the AC adapter itself), but really, you don't need it: a standard travel adapter that converts to the Indian plug type can be used with your existing plug (usually these are much cheaper than the Apple kit, and can be used for any electrical device).

HT4341 from the apple travel adapter kit what adapter do you use for thailand

from the apple travel adapter kit what adapter do i use for thailand

I've used Apple a few times in the past for 4x6s (with iPhoto) and was really happy with the quality. There are other things about the service that frustrate me though. The shipping time was all over the place. Sometimes it would only take a week or two, other times over a month. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Order Prints to work for iPhoto or Aperture anymore, so I'm looking for an alternative as well. Something that has an Aperture plug-in would be extra cool, if that exists...
In the meantime, I've just been printing at Wal-Mart or the local camera shop (when they have a sale). The quality isn't as good -- less definition in the prints -- but the order is always ready to pick-up within a couple of hours at the most (which beats getting no prints at all through Apple's service). And the nice thing is, the pictures are printed and boxed in the order they're uploaded. None of this "we print the smallest files first, as they download" silliness from Apple that causes you to have to sort all of your photos again while referencing the images on your computer if you want to put them in chronological order. Does Apple really expect me to believe their printers are just waiting to print my order the split second each image is downloaded? There's no staging process involved whatsoever? Give me a break. I love Apple, but things like this are so backwards from the whole "it just works" mantra that they love to use. Sorry for the rant! I'm a little frustrated with Apple's printing services at the moment (as I'm sure you can tell).
Anyway, you can always give your local Wal-mart a shot. Just do a small order and see how it turns out.

World Travel Adapter Kit

Hi all,
Am thinking about getting the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit. I have checked the specs and the comments under the accessory details and can find a comment which answers this question but I am one for going by technical specs and I cannot find any. For my own reassurance, can an owner of said kit confirm it is a 2A charger and thus will 'fast' charge the New IPad (IPad 3). Thanks all. (ps I have a new iPad so know fast charge is ironic but lol I hope you know what Im trying to say, ie it's not a 1A charger-it's just I've heard it works with an iPod / iphone so think I need clarification.)

Alternatively, a third party plug adapter will work just as well. THe power brick is rated to accommodate the world wide voltage variances (100-240V) so all you really need is a plug adapter.
Not saying don't buy it, however 40+ for the world wide kit or $10 or less for a plug adapter (if you aren't really traveling the world, why buy plugs you'll never use?)

Defective travel adapter

My 90W slim travel adapter I bought from hp-batteries.com is defective. The warranty claim center is useless. It asks for the serial number, and then asks for the model number. It then says it doesn't recognize it. It didn't even register on your website!
The problem is twofold. I hear a constant high pitched sound that I do not get with my supplied adapter. Second, it shocked me. If my connection wasn't grounded, I could have ended up in the ER, all thanks to the subpar quality of your adapters.

World travel adapter kit with MacBook

I have just bought a travel adapter kit to use with my MacBook Pro (UK). I believe that my MacBook does have a MagSafe power connection, which the product details seem to suggest are compatible with the adapter kit. However, whilst it is obvious to me how to use my iPad and iPhone with the kit (which charge via USB), I do not understand how I connect the MacBook with the adapter kit. Please can somebody explain this to me? I need to know fairly urgently or I'll have to buy a new adapter that makes sense from somewhere else.

.. the adpater kit comes with country specific wall socket adapter plugs that you attach to your existing electrical plug.. you attach one of these adapter plugs to your Mac's power cord, then plug it into the electrical socket in the wall.. you don't touch the magsafe plug at all.

Cheap alternative to Apple World Travel Adapter Kit?

The Lenmar World Travel Adapter Plug Set is only $8.64 on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Lenmar-AC5-World-Travel-Adapter/dp/B00013BL18/ref=wlit_dpo?ie=UTF8&coliid=IYUGMO3LZMVRI&colid=32VC09BIR8RXB
Will this work?
Thanks!

You will notice that the adapters shown in the illustration at the Amazon link are for two pronged plugs. They are also not designed for keyed plugs.
The Apple Charger for the iPad has 2 prong, un-keyed plug which is OK, the long cord version has a standard 3 prong plug which will require a adapter in front of the adapter.
Sets like the one you reference handle most countries, there are some odd-balls.
Sites like [*this one*|http://kropla.com/electric2.htm] have all the gory details by country.
