International Travel Adapter Question

I am thinking of bringing my MacBook to Turkey.  Do I need just an adapter or an adapter and a converter to use my laptop?  Thanks.

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.

  • 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!

  • Some question about International Travel

    Ok so i know alot of people have question about international travel weather is USA to Canada, Canada to USA or where ever.
    So i just got off the phone with someone from AT&T these are my questions for them. i hope it can help, im confuse myself.
    *1. I travel recently travel to canada a few weeks ago, when i cross the boarder i switch the data roaming ON and it picks up Rogers Wireless, a few days ago i try i again it said NO SERVICE is something wrong with my iPad?*
    NO, consider yourself lucky u didnt get charge for that roaming, your ipad well not work out of the US unless u buy one of our International plans that AT&T has provided. The reason for this is so you wont have any unwanted charge or high charge on your bill.
    *2. If i was to buy a sim card from Canada and pop it in to my US ipad well it work?*
    Honestly that's something you can try at your own risk, it's design for AT&T so by switching sim cards it may affect your ipad such as running slow, virus, crash. You can try it, i dont work for Rogers so i know nothing about them, i work for AT&T so i can only tell you about our plans and i wont lie to you.(I THINK U JUST DID) This ipad is not unlock just like the iphone so it well only work with AT&T.
    *3. If i pop my sim card out and put in an international sim card well it affect my plan at all or in any way?*
    Yes it can, right now your on the unlimited plan if you put in a different sim card and then re-put in ur AT&T one chances are you're going to loose your unlimited plan and have to settle for the newer plan. That's why AT&T has reduce it's international plans so people are more likely to use it. It's a contract we sign with Apple, if u want to use in canada you can always buy an Ipad in canada and use their plan. (***)
    At the end of this conversion i was just more angry with them. All in all she told bottom line is dont do anything stick with AT&T and pay for international plans. So i have to pay over price data plan if i want to use it intertanional? or i have to buy an ipad for each international places i go to?
    Has anyone try or done any of the 3 ive mention and did it affect ur plan or ipad in anyway?
    Thanks
    Andy

    Ok so here's a little more info
    I called AT&T again today asking them the same question the guy was more helpful then the one yesterday. Even though he kinda told me the same saying that the ipad need to be unlock. , Afterward he transfer me someone from Apple. The lady told me
    1. The ipad is UNLOCK so dont bother trying to get it unlock.
    2. she doesnt see why sticking in another sim card from one of the apple ipad carrier is a problem. U would just have to sign up activated it like u would when u first got it.
    3. Contact phone company (my case Rogers) to see if they carry the mico sim cards.
    4. She doesnt see why it would affect the current plan u have now.
    So at the end of all that she told me, seem like AT&T is just telling you, you cant do this or u shouldnt do that is simple THEY WANT YOU TO USE THEIR PLANS.
    so with that i said i just want to let everyone know. I'm gonna go pick my Micro sim cards from Canada in a bit and sign up for thier plan we'll keep everyone updated if anything change or how it work

  • 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?)

  • 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 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 for 130W T530

    Hello,
    I have a T530, and I'm stuck for what I need to do to get a travel (airplane+car cigarette lighter+AC) power adapter for this system.  It has the enhanced graphics, so I use the 130W adapter.
    I have the 90W travel adapter from my T500, and I tried connecting it with Power Manager set to "airplane seat power mode" so that it wouldn't blow any fuses and will reduce its power draw.  However, when I connect the 90W adapter, it runs off battery anyway and hover over Power Manager shows a tooltip saying that "this adapter does not provide enough power".  So, I disconnected, turned off Airplane Seat Mode, and reconnected, and it did run for a few seconds but sure enough blew the 3A fuse in my car.
    So, two questions:
    1) Anyone know where I can find a 130W+ travel poewr adapter?  I want to have 130W when I'm on AC mains, and the option to use DC power, without having to carry two separate bricks.  So I need the 130W equivalent of the old travel adapter.  I don't even see a 3rd party option like iGo at this wattage.
    2) Anyone know how to get a 130W T530 to stop blowing fuses?  If I have 3A@12V, that is up to 36W available.  I noitice right now while disconnected from a charger that my laptop is pulling 1.4A @ 11.57V from the battery = 16W, so it should definitely be possible to run off of my car's cigarette lighter without blowing the fuse.  I was hoping the "airplane seat mode" setting would do the trick... but apparently not.
    One note... hardwiring an AC inverter to the battery/alternator with an 11A fuse is not an option for me since I am always in a rental car when using my laptop.

    I have a 15A fuse for all 3 cigarette lighter outlets together.  My 2-way splitter in one of them has a 3A fuse in each leg, which I am holding, that is now blown after  my experiment.  Be that as it may, my question is whether there exists a travel power adapter that is capable of outputting 130W when connected to AC mains and also running at any wattage (maybe 130W or lower) when connected to car DC power.  Can anyone help with that?

  • Travel Adapter Over Heating to 121 degrees F.

    Hello, has anyone else had problems with an HP EnVY overheating?  The first machine I ordered burned up in 20 days.  So 42 days later I recieved another.   Now, the power adapter is overheating to 128 degrees.    It is called "Travel Adapter" HP part # 6348-002 and Stamped "Replace with Part # 644240-001.   The computer shipped to me with the travel adapter.  It is only 12 days old.  .......Bother!
    This question was solved.

    Well, you got to give credit were it is due.
    I just recieved a call from HP customer service, they are sending  me a new charger  to fix the overheating issue.
    WOW....I have been working with computers for a very long time, and this is a first.  A phone call to ME, asking if they could help.  
    This is GREAT!.   Well Done HP!

  • Apple World Travel Adapter Kit and the iPhone!

    so, i have the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit which i was using with my powerbook.
    now, im takin the iphone with me abroad, and im just wondering if it would be compatible.
    the thing that confuses me is that the iphone adapter is usb, and with the powerbook adapter, north american plug can pop off and i can place another one to it.
    this is what i have:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8794G/B
    i think i need this:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB051LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0MQ&mco=MTQ1MzA
    anyone try it yet?

    Thanks, but my question was can I use the 10 watt power supply with the iPhone 4?
    A 10 watt USB charger should work, but may not charge as fast as the iPhone charger. The 10 watt iPad charger will but other brands may not signal the iPhone about the power rating, so the iPhone may assume a standard USB port, which can only provide 2.5 watts.
    The 5 watt that it comes with is a an Edison plug and can't be changed with the world kit.
    The World Travel Adapter Kit includes a charger with a removable plug so that charger can be used with the plug adapters in the kit.
    You don't need the kit, though. You can just buy non-Apple plug adapters to use with your current charger.

  • Universal Travel Adapter for the Zen Mi

    I'm planning on ordering a 6GB white Zen Micro from the Creative store soon and hopefully getting it in time for my trip to Germany and France this July - so I've also been looking at the Uni'versal Travel Adapter in the Creative store also. But I have a few questions about it...
    Since the normal power adapter seems to be out of stock for the time being, I was planning on just using the USB charger with my computer to recharge *while I have the player in the US* - which is really no big deal - but does the uni'versal travel adapter offered *need* the "regular" power adapter too, or does it plug straight into the micro and then into the wall without it's
    Also, will the uni'versal power adapter work in France and Germany? (I'm pretty sure it will, I'm just asking because I don't want any nasty surprises!)
    Thanks for your help, I'm a terrible n00b to the whole mp3 player thing period - but I feel better asking.

    The travel adapter doesn't need the other charger also, it's stand-alone.
    It will work in France and Germany.
    Really all the travel adapter is, is the original adapter with different sockets. If the other adapter were available you can get this and buy a travel socket.

  • Trophy data connection lost after international travel on GSM

    There is a discussion going on at Windows Phone Central regarding the loss of data or 3G connectivity on the Trophy after returning from international travel where the Trophy is used with a SIM card on a GSM network. http://forums.wpcentral.com/trophy/182373.htm
    It seems that this is a different flavor of the issue people have had using the HTC Connection app. In any event, the only remedy is to factory reset the phone when you get back from overseas, or, using Zune, revert to a backup, which means pre-Mango, then update to Mango again.
    If anyone else is having this issue please make noise to Verizon and HTC so they get on it and solve it. Yes, the Trophy works overseas, but you should not have to factory reset your phone every time you get back.

    Ditto. Just spent 10 days inTurkey & Germany. Trophy data & voice worked flawlessly overseas on GSM. Returned to US, no 3G data. Spent 2 hrs. with tech support and six different technical types, each supposedly having “deeper access” into Verizon’s systems, all to no avail. Each tech seemed to be working off the same flow chart because we went through the same series of useless questions with no resolution to the issue.  
    Ultimate solution – hard factory reset. This either needs to be a Trophy or Mango issue as wife’s iPhone 4S had no issues either abroad or upon return.
    How can you advertise the Trophy as a “global” phone when you need to do a hard reset every time you come back to the States? Undocumented “feature”??? Come on Verizon, either fix it or give us phones that work!  

  • IPod firewire charger and international travel

    I have the Apple firewire charger (model A1070) and I was wondering if anyone knows if it's dual voltage capable for international travel? My digi cam and other chargers all say that they are, so they just need a simple plug adapter, but this charger only says 0.4A Max input.
    I was hoping to use my same basic plug adapter for the iPod too, without having to buy the travel kit from Apple for $35.
    Thanks!

    I've used mine overseas (Scotland, Spain) without any problems.

  • Apple Travel Adapter suitable for MBA?

    In the Apple Store website, the products listed as suitable for the Apple Travel Adapter Kit includes the MacBook but does not mention the MacBook Air. (The MBA's MagSafe Power Adapter is 45W; the Mac Book's is 60W) Has anyone used any of the Apple adapters with an MBA? I'm going to be in Argentina next February and would like to use mine while there.
    Hope someone can help me!
    Warewolf

    The travel adapter kit is only the detachable plugs that you can swap out on your brick. I have used the travel adapter kit appropriate attachments in Europe and UK and it works perfectly. The brick itself is the "converter" for your MBA. The travel adapter kit is just the interchangeable plugheads.
