Power in the UK

i am having problems understanding what options i have for powering my T500 while on the pland and in England when i step of of it. i purchased it in the US and so i have a US power adapter, the standard one that it ships with. now i wish to return to th UK and would like to be able to purchase the correct adapter before i leave.
do i need to buy the slim adapter 41N8460? will i need to specify anything on the order so that i get a UK 3 pronged power socket on it? or will i have to order this seperatly?
any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
also i need a bag, would people reccomend the thinkpad range? i am considering the deluxe expander.
thanks

All you need to do is purchase the correct removeable power cable when you reach the UK. 
The power cable socket on the  US power blocks is a very common global type, so you should have no trouble finding a UK power cable that will fit into it at a High Street electronics (or similar) store.
For in-flight use, what you need will depend on what type of power the airline concerned provides (if any) on the aircraft operating the particular flight you are on. You may find this web site helpful......  http://www.seatguru.com/articles/in-seat_laptop_power.php

  • Mac won't take power from the mains

    Hi,
    I just bought my MacBook two days back. I'm already finding a few things crashing, but my main headache is that its currently refusing to take power from the mains. I take out the power chord and put it back in... nothing. I've tried restarting - no go. I've changed socket, no difference (the sockets are working fine). I noticed that the MagSafe Power Adaptor was pretty hot when I first spotted this problem. Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Robin

    Hi robin
    All I can offer is to keep doing what you're doing that's kept it going up till now - whatever that is? As soon as you've got time take it back.
    I find it slightly strange that you're prepared to risk 'some urgent work' using something that's clearly having a problem? However if it's all you have then I suppose you have no choice? If there's enough 'juice' to let you complete whatever it is you need to do and if you've a memory stick or can burn a CD/DVD then I would look at those options once you've done the work.
    You never know?

  • My Itunes update hung up and wouldn't complete. I had to power cycle the computer. Now Itunes will not open.

    My Itunes update hung up (for an hour) and wouldn't complete. I had to power cycle the computer. Now Itunes won't open / start.

    In iTunes go to the Edit menu, then preferences.  Click on the "Devices" tab. In there you will see a device backups section. If there is nothing there then you did not backup to your computer first.  It is also possible that you were backing up to iCloud before updating.  That is harder to check with an iPhone that is logged into your account.

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I bought my macbook pro in the US. can i use it in china? (P.S the power in the US is 110v, in China is 220v, however, the mac power supply has said: "Input: 100~240v")

    The Magsafe autoswitches based on detected power.  You will likely need a wall adapter to alter ther US-based 3-prong to whatever is used in China.

  • HT4623 I installed ios7 on my iPad 2 yesterday, this morning it wouldn't open the weather channel app. I thought maybe I should power it down. When I held down on the power button the screen went black and now it won't do anything. What do I do now?

    Try a reset: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.

  • I just purchased a 3TB Time Capsule.  I live in Italy and have 220V power.  The Time Capsule is rated for that, but the cord says 125V.  Can I use this cord with an adapter, or do I need to buy a new cord at an Italian store?

    Due to the kind of plug used the US power cord is rated at the 125v value.. and legally we cannot advise you to use on higher voltages.. although I have never had issues in Australia.. 240v.
    But adapters from your Euro power plug to US are generally ugly .. unsightly things.. and often sit high above the socket and are none too stable.. I agree with Bob.. just go out and buy a standard figure 8 power cord.. check with Apple in Italy for a white one.. if you are going to have it on show.. black are far more common. Or even check ebay for a standard power Apple power cord as a number of items they sell use the figure8 socket. 

  • How can I keep apps in the order I prefer?  I've rearranged via iTunes but every time I power cycle the phone, the apps go back to their original positions...

    Hi kelori617,
    If you are having issues organizing the Apps on your iPhone via iTunes, you may want to double-check the steps in the following article and make sure you are syncing any changes to your device:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync and organize iOS apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12115
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync and organize iOS apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12315
    If all of the steps are correct and the changes still aren't being retained when you restart your iPhone, you may want to make sure your data is backed up, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings, restore your data from the backup, then test to see if you can organize your apps via iTunes:

  • Help! I'm in UK and need to recharge but when I plug in (using a power converter) the square white batter pack is buzzing - what does it mean????

    Help! I'm in UK and need to recharge but when I plug in (using a power converter) the square white unit is buzzing - what does it mean? I am using a power adaptor that works for other items - shaver, phone etc. and they don't buzz - it's coming from the square white unit before it's connected to the computer so I don't want to then connect my mac incase it means there's something wrong. Getting desperate as I need to recharge!! Thanks for any help!

    Hi
    If you're using a converter that changes the voltage from the UK ~230V to say 120V, rather than just a converter to different outlet/plug/socket sizes - then that's likely the problem.
    All the Apple power units I've seen are rated from 100V to  240V & do not require any sort of voltage converter, just something to let you plug it into a UK outlet (or an Apple cable/connector set). Many cheap voltage converters can cause buzzing as you've described.
    Many supermarkets & hardware/general stores will sell the right 'adaptor' for a couple of £UK - I'd find one rather than continue with the buzzing.

  • Signing on to my MAC after lost power in the house

    I lost power in the house for about 15 seconds. Ever since then I am having trouble signing on to my Macbook.  First time I try the mac asks me for my password that doesn't work(it should). I shut down and try again.  The second time everything is fine.  Anyone having this problem?

    Try creating a new account and signing into that ... if it doesn't exhibit the problem, then I'd say you have a corrupted preferences file somewhere.   You could try getting "applejack" (google it) and running that to attempt to locate any bad preference files and whatnot and clean them up (don't use auto mode, run each step individually and for the ones where you have the option to run a deep scan on specific users, make sure you have it check the user that you're having problems with).  Applejack is free.

  • I have a problem with the indicator for power on the side of my HP DV6-1341el.

    I have a problem with the indicator for power on the side of my HP DV6-1341el. Insert the adapter's power jack on the notebook in front of the LED battery charging works, windows detects that the battery is charged, but if I use the diagnostic programs, they tell me they found that the computer is running on battery power and not AC mode.
    Where is the problem?
    I have also made the maneuver for the recognition by the operating system of the battery and does not seem to be there the problem.
    If I use the laptop without battery in AC mode happens that led to the side of the notebook blinks twice, three times and then goes off when I put the power jack.

    Go into the Device Manager. Expand the battery device, select the ACPI-Compliant Battery Control Method device, right-click it and select uninstall. After you have done that, right-click any device in the Device Manager and select scan for hardware changes. Your operating system will reinstall the  ACPI-Compliant Battery Control Method device.

  • Wifi is not available where I come from. I have broadband connection where data transmission is through cell sites then to USB modem connected to a computer. The modem draws power from the computer. Will this setup work with the ipad?

    iPad requires Wifi (or 3G /LTE) to connect to the Internet. You cannot connect a USB modem to the iPad.
    You can create your own WiFi hotspot through your computer for your iPad to connect to, if your computer supports this functionality. All Wifi Macs and many Wifi PCs do. Check your computer manual for how to do it.

  • Does a 9-Pin to 6-Pin FireWire Cable carry power to the device?

    I have a VHS to Digital Converter ADVC 55 which has a 6 pin Firewire out which takes its power from the 6 pin firewire on the computer.

  • Should the FW 400 port be sending power to the FW HUB When the Mac is off?

    The title says it all. I am using a refurbished 2007 Aluminium 20 inch IMac and after I shut down the Fire Wire ports still power the FW 400 Hub, is this normal? I have just stopped cutting power supply with surge protector because I was having trouble getting the Imac to start and leaving its' power supply on made the start up faultless. Could the "shut down" instead of "log out" be the cause?

    Hey JustSomeGuy, thanks for solving the problem. The "cause" you were curious about is the choice when stopping to choose "shut down" instead of"log out", I'm not sure what the second one[log out] would do when I wanted to start the iMac again.
    PS: my USB peripherals don't get enough power when the iMac is off to have them show lights indicating power, but I believe you are right. When I had the iMac in a surge protecter, so it was cut off completely from power it had BIG problems with starting up, for some reason the iMac must have access to power to always start up as it should.
