Requeste European AC POWER CORD

Hi,
I own a Magsafe 85W with the the AC powercord for the USA and I was wondering
if anyone who has the magsafe with the Continental Europe Powercord could provide
with the reference of the power cord only
it should be something like Volex APC7Q (that's the us version)
your help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks a lot !

Over the last 3 months I have had 7 Power cords, along with 7 MacBook Pros, in my search for perfection... (the 7th being the one I own now) and each of the white blocks have become very hot so I guess that this is a completely normal thing to occur while charging your computer.
If you actually mean the cable, then no, I think that it is a bit odd... If it is the wire near the block then you probably don't have much to worry about, but if the whole cord it getting hot, I would phone Apple and ask them.
the magsafe plug and about an inch of the wire is slightly warm as I speak, but this has been the case for all of the machines I've owned.
(sorry for my reply being all over the place, but I don't know exactly what you mean.)

  • Using US power cord in Sweden?

    Hello!
    I'd like to set up in Sweden an AXBS that I purchased in the US. As most Apple products come with power adapters that are 100-240V and 50-60A compatible through a simple switch of plug heads, I assumed that that would be the case with the AXBS too.
    Though the power brick does say that it's compatible with 100-240/50-60A input, the power cord that plugs into the brick (with US prongs) indicates only 125V/2.5A.
    I'm wondering if I can put a simple European plug adapter (not voltage converter) over the US plug (which I do for my iPhone charging plug/cord; on that plug is written that it's compatible with 100-240/50-60A)), or if I need to get a European/Swedish power cord to plug into the supplied power brick.
    I've done an internet search for an AEBS Swedish-compatible power cord, but haven't found one yet.
    Thanks!

    I found a European power cord with the necessary specs to fit with the AEBS's power brick.

  • Replacement power cord but then it says........

    so i went through the process of requesting the new power cord be mailed to my house and then it says "you must print this screen or save to a pdf since there will be no confirmation email." Now tell me, how exactly am I supposed to print from my iphone or save a page to a pdf?

    While on the screen press the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time very quickly. This will take a screen capture and put it in your camera roll. Now sync your iPhone and transfer that pic to your computer, you can print it out if you wish or just save it.
    In any case, things like that should probably be done on a computer and not the iPhone.

  • European Power Cords

    Hello All,
    I'll be moving with my MacPro and Cinema Display to Munich, Germany on November 30. I need to get European Power Cords for my machine.
    Any ideas as to where I can buy Apple-branded power cords for European style outlets? There's currently no Apple store in Germany.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Hi Rob and welcome to Germany,
    Gravis is a well known Apple 'store' in Germany.
    They have a shop in Munich, see here: http://www.gravis.de/stores/muenchen/ and should have the appropriate power-chord avaiable.
    Have a nice time in Deutschland.

  • Where can i buy an european power cord for AppleTV (1st)?

    Hi!, my brother come to Spain from US, and i need to know where buy an european power cord to use his AppleTV (1st) in Spain?
    I don't find this kind of cord on the Apple Store.
    Thanks!! (excuse my bad english)

    All you need is an adaptor for the plug, the power supply is universal.

  • European power cord into North American Macbook

    Hello forum!
    My girlfriend has a Macbook purchased in Canada, but she is now moving to Sweden. Instead of having to use an adaptor, I am wondering if it would work to simply purchase a European power cord?
    Any ideas would be much appreciated!

    Apple doesn't have product part numbers for these cords, but it should be possible to get used ones. A new adapter would also come with one of these cords. In the end it might be easier to just get the little adapter plug (might also need to be used) along with an extension cord.
    iFixit sells used US extension cords, although I'm not sure where one might find one compatible with Swedish outlets.

    It might be easier to simply use a passive adapter. Something like the following:

  • HT201897 Does a Mac Mini purchased in the USA require a power converter for operation in Europe or should I only purchase a different power cord for it?

    Does a Mac Mini purchased in the USA require a power converter to operate outside of the USA or can I simply purchase a different power cord for it?

    Depending on which European country (should their mains access plug/port shape vary) the
    cord set with correct ends on it has to match. You can buy a cord that plugs into the Mini
    where the factory cord goes, and the other end has one for the wall source shape. The wire
    for the application should be able to support 110~240VAC.
    With the cord or an accurate image in hand, you could either get a new cable to match both
    realities (mini + wall supply mains local) or an adapter (US/Standard to EU/Local) for just
    the head or input part of the original Apple cable. One plugs into the other, then into wall.
    If you have a new Mini with a small modular plug/port on the computer end of the power wire,
    it would have only two holes and no ground; the other end would have two prongs of equal
    shape and size. Not a polarized plug and not a grounded three-prong. To get a replacement
    power wire for the MINI to go from power source to the Mini is recommended, if you are going
    to be staying in one location for awhile. A Travel Kit that offers no electrical conversion but only
    the physical shape adapter kit, should a available in travel stores, airports; big box discount
    stores, computer and electronic stores. This page shows the cord end of the appliance shapes.
    The other end would be the mains shape for whichever country you are going to....
    http://www.signalandpower.com/European-Power-Cords/
    So to match the country or regional power mains type is a primary concern for obtaining the
    correct replacement cord to supply the Mini with local mains power. The end which plugs into
    the Mini is of a certain type (numbers for EU and elsewhere are published, see link + images)
    & the end that gets plugged into the mains or utility side, needs to match the local specification.
    The link to Apple, to contact for Support and Service information in prior post, should be able
    to help find a source for the local replacement type cord they'd sell local people with a Mini.
    Apple local sources offer replacements for this purpose; and for travelers, a second cord for
    a direct use (not adapter plugs) is a better bet. For those who only need a cord in two places.
    If you are traveling to Denmark, UK, Swiss or other EU countries require different adapters.
    Even places where the power itself may be somewhat similar. However your MINI has an
    automatic power supply that will conform to that energy standard, you only need to supply a
    correct non-transforming adapter. Simply a connection to adapt one shape to another.
    The general purpose travel kit that is not specialized to Apple power adapters, would have a
    plastic plug/adapter with the local pins on one side, and the US/standard two slots on the other.
    So, no circuitry nor any other change of electrical power inside this device would be required.
    http://www.signalandpower.com/2-Prong-Plug-Adapters/
    http://www.signalandpower.com/Convert-to-Europe-CEE-716-plug/
    http://www.signalandpower.com/Swiss-AC-Power-Cords/
    In other words, I believe my other post already covered this. On the ground on either end of the
    path, adapters are common and the Mini does not use proprietary electrical components IF you
    have one of the more recent shape aluminum models with the power supply built in. The older
    Mini has the power brick and two wires. A US/Standard plug adapter to EU/Local would work in
    either case, since all you'd do is plug the adapter plug into the local mains and the US plug into
    that one... I see these kinds of discards for as little as 25¢ in thrift stores in Alaska. Or you can
    buy a new one. Or you could get a complete cord with correct ends on it, for Mini + local mains.
    Hopefully this helps somewhat. The only info missing is which EU country or region is involved.
    Their shapes of plug are different, so the adapter end for local supply has to match their standard.
    Swiss, Denmark, UK, and others offer different shapes and so on.
    The Apple store in the location you are traveling should be able to supply you with a replacement
    cable for a modern MINI, that has the correct local mains end, and the correct Apple mini end on
    the opposite. Since the unit is automatically switching, the magic is done.
    Since I supplied a means to locate any number of Apple stores, authorized service providers &
    other Apple related vendors in my earlier reply: https://locate.apple.com/country you could contact
    any of them along your route in the City in whichever EU country, to find a local MINI power cable.
    In any event, I'm done...
    Good luck and happy trails...

  • HP Laptop Power Cord Safety Recall and Replacemen​t

    Some power cords for HP and Compaq and mini notebook computers sold from September 2010 through June 2012 may be part of voluntary recall and replacement program launched on August 26, 2014.
    The impacted power cords have the potential to overheat, posing a fire, and burn hazard.
    To see if your cord may be affected, look for a “LS-15” marking molded into the connector that plugs into the AC adapter.   
    If you see a LS-15 marking please go to http://www.hp.com/support/PowerCordReplacement
    Please note that there are two parts needed to charge your laptop.
    1)      The first part is the power cord that plugs into the wall.
    Figure 1
    2)      The second part is the adapter.
    Figure 2
    HP is ONLY recalling the power cord used with HP and Compaq notebooks and mini notebooks and accessories such as docking stations. (See Figure 1)
    To qualify your power cord and request and replacement, go here.
    Since power cords for laptops are compatible, you can use another power cord with your AC adapter until the replacement one arrives.
    I work for HP, supporting the HP Experts who volunteer their time and technical knowledge to help others.

    Does HP really expect us to individually validate every single laptop in our fleet to see if the cord that originally shipped with the machine is included in the recall? That's putting your customers through a lot of hoops to resolve an issue that could result in a safety hazard. 
    Also, and as you yourselves point out in the bulletin, these cords are completely interchangable, and there's no guarantee that the cord in use on the machine is the one that shipped with it. 
    Please provide an easier method to determine if these cords are affected by the recall. Thanks.

  • Envy DV7 laptop will not boot without the power cord being connected

    My laptop won't boot on its own even when the battery indicator reads "fully charged (97%). If I have the power cord plugged into the computer (and the wall), it boots right away. Without the power cord, the "power indicator light" flashes once, the screen brightens to a lighter shade of gray, then it just shuts down.
    I'm thinking I need to replace the battery but I thought it best to check with the experts first...................☺
    Thanks!!
    ETA..........I just saw the post about power cord failure. My power cord is one of those affected and I will be filling out the request for a replacement. Unfortunately my serial number is apparently located inside the battery compartment. I'm wondering if my cord has overheated and caused this boot problem with my computer.

    Hello, @jksweeney 
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that your having an issue with the power and your notebook. That you've applied to have the power cord replaced as it was part of the recall.
    Please let me know when that has been taken care of if the issue remains. I will remain subscribe to this thread, so that I will be notified if you post again.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
    I worked on behalf of HP.

  • Bump Power Cord, Computer Goes Black

    So I am having a very strange problem that I hope someone can help me with. Every time I touch/bump the end of the power cord (the connector? aka the part that goes into the iBook) my computer screen goes black. All my programs keep running and itunes keeps playing, I just get a black screen. I then just close my laptop, open it, and everything works fine again. This problem literally happens every time I touch the connector part of the power cord though. Anyone know what that problem is? Thanks so much!
    P.S. - I have already tried reseting the PMU.

    Hey Brandon,
    Forgive me for my ignorance, but what do you mean which iBook we are dealing with here? >Like what more detailed information are you requesting besides it being an iBook G4, so I know specifically what to tell you.
    So if you look here, in the section "iBook G4":
    http://www.lowendmac.com/powerbooks.html
    You'll see there were 10 different iBook G4 models.
    Four 12" models:
    # 12": G4/800, G4/1 GHz (2003), G4/1.2 GHz (2004), G4/1.33 GHz (2005)
    and 6 14" models:
    # 14": G4/900, G4/1 GHz (2003), G4/1 GHz, 1.2 GHz (2004), G4/1.33 GHz, G4/1.42 GHz (2005)
    The information is on a bar coded strip under the keyboard.
    While there are many similarities from model to model there are also differences, especially where cables are located.
    In general I would look at the DC in board since that is very prone to damage. There is a know weakness in the inverter cable which we have seen fail right at the right hinge point (as you look at the iBook).
    This is relatively easy to diagnose since you can still see the screen working if you use a flashlight.

  • Seeking a longer power cord???  (G4-flatscreen IMAC)

    Are longer power cords available rather than the standard 6-footers? If not, does anyone have a solution that would get me to at least 8 feet? Thanks.

    Sure voltage drops off over long distance; but as all Macs have auto-switched power supplies capable of running with anything between 100 - 240 volts AC at 50-60Hz there really isn't an issue. I remember watching a colleague plug his Compaq laptop (rate for a 230VAC european supply) in to a 115 volt socket. It actually stuttered on DVD playback! 
    This won't be an issue. You can either use a domestic extension lead as JPT says or buy a longer 'cloverleaf' mains cable.

  • Moving Abroad - Power cord question

    Hi,
    I have recently moved to Spain and my lovely iMac arrived shortly after me yesterday.
    And to be honest I've just realised that it won't be as simple as just changing the plug to use power outlets here.
    What is my best course of action? Is it OK to continue using an adaptor? Or should I look into a new power cord that can be used here? I'm guessing I can remove the cord easily? If so can you point me in the right direction, I've tried looking on the apple store site for Spain but I can't find anything.
    Muchas Gracias :0)

    Modern Mac computers are equiped to handle a range of voltages, 100-240 v, and a range of frequencies, 50-60 Hz. All that is necessary is to be able to either use an adapter for the US plug for the European/other country socket, or replace the power cord. If staying for a period of time, the most elegant approach is to buy a new power cord with the correct plug. If your iMac has a detachable cord, try an Apple store and see if they have a cord they will sell you. The Apple retail stores can be found by going to the Store item in the upper bar on this page, or a specific product and then Locate Retail Store.
    There is a store in Barcelona and a store in Madrid.
    Hope this helps, and enjoy your stay in Spain.

  • I purchased an airport Extreme from germany. I would like to know if I can use it in the USA, and would I need anything else apart from a new power cord for the same ?

    I purchased an Airport extreme from Germany to be used as a router. It worked very well over there and I plan to use it in the States. Now, since the power output is different in both USA and Germany, would I only need to buy a new power cord from USA ?

    The AirPort Extreme will run on 100-240 Volts and 50/60 Hz, so it will operate just about anywhere in the world as far as power goes, if you have the right power cord or AC wall adapter. A voltage converter is not needed.
    But, European wireless standards are different than the U.S., so you will need to avoid using Channels 12 and 13, which are not authorized for use in the U.S. Otherwise, things should operate OK.
    For all the details on wireless standards in different parts of the world, see this document:

  • UK iPod Nano - European (German) Power Cable

    Hi all,
    Might seem a stupid question but here goes.
    I intend on buying my girlfriend an iPod Nano. However, she lives in Germany and as such i can't order European power cords off the UK apple site.
    I was just wondering that if i buy the iPod Nano here in the UK she will be able to buy a power cable in Germany and everything will work fine without blowing up?
    Thanks in advance.

    The iPod does not come with any power cable or charger at all in any country.
    The iPod charges by connecting to a computer using the supplied USB cable.
    As USB is a worldwide standard and computer that has a USB powered port will be able to charge the iPod regardless of the power being fed to the computer.
    If you want to buy a separate charger for the iPod you can get them from the German Apple Store, they are also able to be used Worldwide as they have a voltage range suitable for use anywhere.
    Here are the details :-
