Is the power adapter in the world travel kit identical with the one in the world travel kit?

I was told that to charge my Ipad2 in Europe I need to buy the world travel adapter kit - with the apple power adapter that looks the same as the one that comes with the Ipad2 - plus the adapter plugs.  I do not need any more adapter plugs - have lots of those and multiple ones for Europe.  So why am I being told by Apple store people that I must buy the "kit" for $39 when I already have a power adapter that is 110-240 .  I can see taking a second power adapter - in case something happens to the original one- but why am I told that the power adapter in the kit is "different"?  If so - different in what way?

To follow up: I'd put my apartment number (there are about five hundred at this address) in my address information (or Apple pulled it in with the information that goes with my Apple ID), but the number didn't make it into the shipping label. Calling DHL got the apartment number added, and they will attempt delivery tomorrow.
So calling DHL was the thing to do. I even grudgingly admit that having me make the call provided the information needed to close the case.
Two residual complaints: Apple/DHL should have formatted the address label correctly. And, DHL should have registered a shipping exception, which should have gone to Apple (or me), so I could have been told of the problem two weeks ago.

  • What's the power Adapter for Macbook pro 13inch Mid 2012

    What's the power Adapter for Macbook pro 13inch Mid 2012 with core i-7, 2.9ghz, 8Gb ram?
    AFAIK it should be a 60wat Megasafe power adapter.
    But mine shipped with a 45Watt Megasafe. I got it as a Gift from my friend.
    Thanks in Advance.

    This should be my Adapter right?
    Yes.
    There is a drawback in addition to taking a longer time to charge up your MBP.  In unusual instances when using your MBP with power adapter attached, and running a very heavy load on the CPU/GPU, the MBP will require additional electrical resources in addition to what the power adapter can provide.  It will then draw upon the battery.  What this means is that using a 45 watt adapter, these conditions are more likely to occur.
    Using a 45 watt adapter should not harm your MBP as such.
    Ciao.

  • Hello, I have Just purchased an iphone 5 2 weeks ago but when I look through my USB power adapter, there is no serial number printed inside the USB opening, can I know is it a fake one?

    Hello, I have Just purchased an iphone 5 2 weeks ago but when I look through my USB power adapter, there is no serial number printed inside the USB opening, can I know is it a fake one?

    If you purchased it from Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it's genuine.
    If not, it is very likely to be counterfeit and dangerous to use. Counterfeit power adapters often bear fraudulent consumer product safety markings. It is difficult or impossible to distinguish a genuine power adapter from a counterfeit from an exterior inspection, and inspecting its interior destroys the adapter.
    From http://www.apple.com/support/usbadapter-takeback/:
    If you need a replacement adapter to charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, we recommend getting an Apple USB power adapter. For a limited time, you can purchase one Apple USB power adapter at a special price — $10 USD or approximate equivalent in local currency. To qualify, you must turn in at least one USB power adapter and bring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to an Apple Retail Store or participating Apple Authorized Service Provider for serial number validation.
    If in doubt, do not use it.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus AC Power adapter failed. Where to buy?

    My AC power adapter failed. Where can I purchase a new one in Doha?

    There should be an electronics store near there. Go into google maps, bring up Doha, then search nearby and put in 'hp printers' which should be up some sort of electronics retailer. 
    If that doesn't work, then go to HP.com, put in your printer model, and follow the links, and you should be able to order one online. Just make sure you specify your region in your search, so that it doesn't think you are in Ireland, when you are actually in Qatar.

  • Disfunctional Power Adapter

    I just came back from approximately 2 hours away from my power adapter this evening to find the amber light was still on (not connected to anything). The adapter was plugged into my power bar, so I unplugged it and the amber light flickered out after a few seconds. I then plugged the adapter back in and connected it to my computer. The indicator light turned on green although I only had about an hour and a half battery life left, and the charge indicator at the top of my screen said (Not Charging). I unplugged everything again, and now the green light turns on on one side of the adapter without being connected to the computer, and does not charge my computer.
    I have had my Macbook for a year and four months without any problems pertaining to the battery or power adapter.
    Also, I tried to register for a technical support phone call, but my serial number is not recognized as a valid serial number.
    Help!

    I'd advise you to just buy a replacement power adapter from any source. Amazon has some used ones, for around US$ 45:
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MagSafe-Adapter-MacBook-MA538LL/dp/B000FQ245I/
    On eBay, you can also find these:

    Sites operating from Hong Kong (such as DealExtreme) have cheaper non-brand replacements, but can take 2-3 weeks:

  • Problem with power adapter?

    i just bought a new (refurb'd) power adapter about 2 months ago. the one that came with my iBook had been stripped a bit bare by my usage techniques so it wasn't connecting.
    lately (past 3 weeks) the adapter has been constantly switching from orange to green and back again while i have it plugged in and the amount it says is left fluctuates...about 5 minutes ago it said it had 59 minutes, now it says it has an hour and 5 minutes. right now, the charge is going really fast...it's never gone this fast (charge now says 52 minutes).
    any idea what i should do to fix this? i've tried calling my apple store but can't get through to a real person, and since it's a half hour away, if i can avoid going i'd like to (especially since i have been there twice already this weekend)

    Hi there:
    Well my first and really only guess is that your refurbed power adapter is at fault here. If your old one wasn't doing this then I would say the battery is not at fault here. Maybe try calling Apple. Sounds pretty frustrating. Hope it ends up well.

  • "L" style power adapter trouble with Black Macbook

    Hey guys. So recently my cat chewed my old "T" shaped power adapter, so I was forced to buy a new one. I went and picked up the "L" style one. Thing is, it won't charge/be recognized unless I restart the computer. Even then, if I unplug it and then close the computer to put it to sleep and then try to plug in and charge again it won't work. I tried powering off, removing battery, holding the power button down for 5 seconds and the turning it back on and charging. It charges but then if I remove the charger and put it to sleep it won't work. Is there any way to fix this?
    ~LA

    Like most above...recently had my "T" style magsafe cord fray so Apple replaced with newer "L" style magsafe. Figured -- Sweet! -- must be better. Boy was I WRONG! This newer style simply has issues with my Late-2009 MBP. Works for about a month, but then I get power connection issues. The green light keeps flickering off despite the magnet being fully seated in the slot. A jiggle gets the green light to go back on but then a puff of air makes it shut off. Sometimes I'll flip the orientation around to get the green light back but i'll go off eventually with the slightest jostle.
    Have the Firmware Update. Did the SMC reset. Checked to see if any foreign object in the computer magsafe port. There was nothing. Cleaned male/female contacts. No kinks in cord. Basically I'm on my third warrantied 'brand new' magsafe that has connection issues.
    Fortunately for me I had a brand new "T" style plug that originally shipped with my MBP. Weird thing is that it works just fine. No power disconnections. Ended up calling Apple, and went to Apple store as well as authorized service centre to see what's up but all claim there is no known issuses with "L" style Magsafes but rather my only options are to continue warrantying and swapping out the Magsafes or let them have my MBP for a few days to open up and see what's up. Ummm...uhhh...***?

  • Power adapter, plz help ASAP

    Hi. I have an old iPod mini 2nd edition(6Gb) and today because of some corrupt files I restored the original settings and updated the iPod system. To complete the update I need to plug the iPod to an external power output but I don't have a power adapter. What can I do?

    1. Make sure you have the iPod plugged into a USB 2.0 port. If it is just a 1.1 port, the iPod will not charge.
    2. You'll have to find some power source, one way or another. You could go get an Apple USB Power Adapter, or you could find a friend with speakers or a USB 2.0 port, or a wall charger, or a car charger. Anything like that.
    I hope this helps!

  • Does the world traveler kit work on the 60 watt mag safe power adapter

    does the world traveler power adapter kit work with the 60 watt mag safe power adapter.

    Hi Aiian,
    The kit contains all the plug ends needed to travel around the world. the small flat bladed square piece that slides on the 60 watt mag safe charger for use in north america was lost on vacation. I purchased this kit because it appeared to contain two plug adapters that looked exactly the same, one flat blade and one flat blade with holes at the end. when i tried one of the ends nothing happened (no charge).Wondering if it contaians a resistor inside? Mac offered only to replace it if it was faulty, but
    I lost mine.

  • Where can I find a replacement for the power adapter tip?

    I need to replace the small adapter that allows the power adapter to be inserted into a socket. Does apple sell this part separately?
    The adapter itself works fine. But the tip that gets inserted into the adapter, and then the wall, has started to make sparks. I'm afraid it's going to catch fire, or cause a fire. When plugged into the wall, I hear sparks and I see smoke coming out. If I adjust it's position by slightly withdrawing it from the wall socket, so that there is minimal contact, the sparks stop. But I am a little worried now that I can't leave my MacBook Pro retina plugged in without risk of fire. This started about a month ago after two years of use without any issues.
    To be clear, I'm not talking about the adapter itself, but the tip that gets inserted into the adapter, and in turn allows the adapter to be inserted into a socket.
    It seems wrong to shell out $80 for a whole new adapter when all I need to replace is the wall adapter.
