Is a voltage converter necessary for charging an iPod in 220v countries?

I'm heading for New Zealand and Australia.  Do I need a voltage converter for my iPod and iPad or just adapters?

The wall charger is dual voltage. You only need a plug converter for the iPad wall charger. The iPod does not come with a wall charger.

  • Is Voltage Converter Necessary when charging iPhone 3GS in Amsterdam

    I posted this question before and was told that all I needed to charge my iPhone in The Netherlands was a 2 prong plug converter (round pins) to convert my current plug to theirs. Apple sells a set for lots of countries, but I already have one for Netherlands. Discussions here said, just use the plug converter. Then I called Apple and they me that I also need to use a voltage converter in addition to the plug converter. I know USA voltage is 120 and Netherlands in 220 or 230. Will my phone burn out without a voltage converter? Apple says it might, yet they don't sell the voltage converters to go with the plugs they sell. They suggest Radio Shack, etc. What voltages will my iPhone handle? I don't want to buy another piece to carry over there if not needed. I keep getting different answers, even from Apple techs. Who knows for sure? Thanks for help.

    look on the actual adapter itself and in very hard to read writing it will say the voltage range inputs of the charger.
    Its not about what we say, its about what it says on your device. Our Euro/UK ones got from 1110 to 230 but thats means nothing as yours are whatever they say on the charger.
    Buy a Euro standard charger at the airport on the arrivals side - probably only $10.

  • Which wire on the 30-pin plug is responsible for charging an Ipod?

    Which wire on the 30-pin plug is responsible for charging an Ipod? I want to cut this wire so that I can use my Ipod in my car or on my computer without having to charge it. I understand that Ipod's are meant to withstand short charges, but I still want to figure out how to do this. There has to be one wire (or more) that is specifically responsible for only charging the ipod. Does anyone know which one? See wiring diagram below:
    Pin - Signal
    1 - GND
    2 - GND
    3 - Right
    4 - Left
    5 - Right In
    6 - Left In
    7 - ?
    8 - Video Out
    9 - S-Video Chrominance output
    10 - S-Video Luminance output
    11 - AUDIO_SW
    12 - Tx
    13 - Rx
    14 - RSVD
    15 - GND
    16 - GND
    17 - RSVD
    18 - 3.3V
    19,20 - +12V
    21 - Accessory Indicator/Serial enable
    22 - TPA -
    23 - 5 VDC +
    24 - TPA +
    25 - Data -

    28 - TPB +
    29,30 - GND

    I just cut wire #23. It does not charge it now but the ipod is not recognized either. Would adding a false drain on the 5 volts help? I don't know what else to do. Let me know.
    Yes.  Reconnect the wire and use the iPod the way that it was designed to be used.

  • Looking for LM2917N 14-pin frequency to voltage converter model for MultiSim

    I am designing a circuit in MultiSim and I am utilizing a LM2917N 14-pin frequency to voltage converter as part of the circuit.  Unfortunately MultiSim does not seem to have any frequency to voltage converters in  (as far as I can tell).  I was wondering if anyone had a model of this component.  A simple footprint is easy to make, however, the simulation file(s) are much more complicated and I do not have to know how to do this.  Please let me know if you have such a model.
    Attached is the data sheet for the component,
    Thanks,

    I have not been able to find a model of this anywhere. In my Version 10 there is a part called LTC1966CSM8 that says it it is a RMS to DC converter. The datasheet for this indicates that it is only good for 50hz to 1Khz so I don't know if this would help any depending on the frequency your working with. I don't even know if your version has this chip or not. You can look to see if you have it and whether or not it would be suitable for your apllication. You will find it in the Database under ANALOG>OPAMP if you have it.
    Other than this, you are left with the only option of creating your own and I don't know how that could be accomplished with the information contained in the datasheet. The charge pump would be problematic without more detail about it's internal construction. The rest would be relatively easy with ideal components.
    I am sorry this doesn't help much, but it is all I have for now.

  • Converting Videos for the Video Ipod?

    ok i just bought the 60G Video IPOD, i downloaded a video from Itunes just to see if it works, i downloaded a video from Limewire, and when i went to add it to the ipod it says that it could not be added or using with the Ipod why? I need to converte it from the itunes Library? Ok once it gets downloaded into the limewire folder and i add it to itunes, what do i do next before adding it to the ipod, i am not spending 1.99 for each video that will be like 1,000 i spoend on videos..lol
    Thank you so much for your help

    I just got the Video iPod also. So far not too happy about the file type restrictions...after all I spent a year encoding MY entire DVD collectin and was thrilled not to have to take a laptop with me on travel.
    CONVERTING MOVIES for ViPOD.
    You have to have the updated Quicktime 7.0.3.
    AND then you have to open the file in QT.
    Go to EXPORT.
    Select "Movie to iPod" which will convert the file to an .m4v
    The movie will be saved in this mode as 320x240.
    However, this process is incredibly slow. It's been trying to convert a movie in .mp4 to .m4v and it's been two hours now and it looks like it's only 15% done.
    There has to be a faster conversion tool out there. For viewing a few flicks...I would have to spend days just to get 3 or 4 movies on my Video iPod.
    MY SUGGESTION: DONT BUY the ViPod YET!!!! Wait till the holidays are over or give an Apple Gift Card.

  • Can I use an iPhone 5 charger for charging my iPod, 5th generation

    Hello to all!
    I'm finding it inconvenient to charge up my iPod touch 5th generation: this product is shipped with only a Lightning connector-USB cable but has no power adapter. My Mac does have 4 USB ports but most of the time they are used to connect to my external hard drives. I wish to know whether I can use the chargers of my iPhone 5 or iPad mini 2 to have my iPod charged.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your information!
    Was unsure of this and did not want to take the risk of experimenting!
    Regards and take care.

  • Converting Movie for use on iPod

    I bought a movie on iTunes the other day. The movie plays fine on my computer and on the AppleTV. But it will not sync to my iPod Touch or iPhone.
    When I tried to convert the Movie by using File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version. I only got an error message: Error occured while converting the file "<Movie Name>". an unknown error occurred (-4).
    Any suggestion on the meaning of the error and how to correct it?

    Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

  • Is WiFi necessary for locating an iPod Touch using MobileMe?

    Just wondering if it also works without a WiFi connection?

    okay that makes sense to me.
    now there is still the question left if the ipod really has to be connected to the wifi network or if it is already enough when it is in the range of the network.
    this would be really helpful because if not you can only find your ipod if the thief is stupid enough to connect to a wifi network without deleting the MobileMe-account in the settings

  • Does the iPad mini have a setting so it can be used with either 120 or 240 electrical current? If yes, how do you go about setting the desired input voltage? I will travel to Northern Europe and want to know if I will need a voltage converter.

    The iPad charger is dual voltage. You need only a plug adapter to be able to plug your US charger into a European wall outlet. A basic one costs about $2.00. - $6.00. Like this...
