USA iMac model A1224 needs power cord for Belgium
Hello,
I have a US iMac Model A1224 I need a power cord that will work in Belgium. My power cord has a tag that reads: 10A 125V~ . Will any power cord work, a friend in Amsterdam has a cable with the same interface as my iMac with the European wall mont (2 round prongs)... Will this work or do I need to look at the voltage settings?
Help, Please and THANK YOU.
Newer Mac models switch voltage automatically. What does it say after the "125-"? Probably 220 or 240V. All you need in that case is a European plug or an adaptor for a US plug ( you can get them in the travel section of any department store or they are easily found in Europe) .

Needed: Power Cord For AC Adapter 90W
In Brooklyn, NY, where can I get a USA standard power cord for a 90W 20V AC Adapter for a Lenovo T400 ?
The connection on the adapter brick looks like two overlapping circles. I believe it may be what is commonly called the figure 8 connection.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Radio Shack carries these cords.

Need Power Cord For Old Nomad Jukebox, PLE
I need the a.c power cord, it is a 9v cord and I can really use one, Any help ?
Please email if you have one, THANKS !!i think that will be pretty hard to come by.
try ebay you may be able to get one.
but if you cant...
go out and get yourself a REGULATED multivoltage power supply.
you know, those battery elimators with the 8 or so interchangeable plugs.
if its not regulated you run the risk of putting too much power into your jukebox.
just make sure it has a plug that fits your jukebox and you match up the polarity then your set.
go for something with at least a amp output however.
go for more then that if you can...
good luck -
I need to purchase a power cord for my intel based 27" iMac. I have had it for almost 2 years, I don't have apple care and I don't want to take it in to the genius bar. I know it's the power cord and I just want to purchase one.
iMacs take generic power cords. If it fits into the back of the iMac and an electrical socket, it'll work.
Good luck.

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/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... -

Need power schematics for a 20" cinema display a1038 (four pronged cord)
need power schematics for a 20" cinema display a1038
missing the power adapter for the cinema display,need to know what the leads are for the power cord.
There is a Edison power cord that plugs into a little square box, then a 4 pronged cord plugs into that box.
I have a 24 volt power supply with the same amps, and want to hook it up to the 4 pronged plug since I don't have the little power supply box. I don't know what each lead is.
The easy answer is to buy the power supply. I bought the cinema display cheap and want to see if its worth buying the little box power supply that costs around 70$ on e-bay. If it works with the 24 volt power supply Ill go ahead and buy the little box.Hi
If the monitor is a clear acrylic model with three feet (which it seems to be), and your computer is an original AGP Graphics/Sawtooth model, you'll need a DVI to ADC adapter.
You can identify your exact computer model from the following link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58418
The ADC connector, which the older 20" Cinema Display uses, wasn't introduced until the later Gigabit Ethernet models. Unfortunately a newer graphics card with an ADC port won't work either, as the Sawtooth lacks an extra connector on the logic board required to power the monitor through the ADC cable.
DVI to ADC adapters are fairly expensive as they include an integral power supply to drive the monitor. It may also be worth checking your graphics card supports the resolution of the 20" display (1680 by 1050). In the worst case you may need a new graphics card (with a DVI port) and the adapter. -
Place to purchase 2cd power cord for iSight iMac?
Anyone know where I can buy a second power cord for a 17" iSight iMac? I've been searching the web but no luck yet.
Why would I need one? My new iSight iMac is going to live in a computer cabinet in front of a difficult to access wall outlet/power strip. I'd like to be able to move the computer around the house to watch DVDs in comfort (hurray for Front Row!), and a second power cord will make this transition a lot easier.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.How fussed are you about aesthetics? Have a dead electric jug or kettle or stereo amp at home? See if the cord fits.
Cheers

My husband needs a new power cord for his Mac Pro. I went to the apple store and the clerk gave me a power adapter by mistake. He has a conference call before the store opens and I can't get him another power cord. Is there a way to power up his computer?
You posted in the MacBookPro forum. Is this a Mac Pro or MacBook Pro? If it's the latter, it has a battery.

I just bought a new iMac 27'' a week ago and been having problems every morning when i come to the office with turing the system on. I have to unplug the power cord for 10 secs and replug for it to turn on. Kindly pls advise
Anyone having the same problem?Makes no difference if anyone is having the same problem. The important thing is that it's happening to YOU!
You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems. -
Anyone know where I can buy the power cord for intel imac
i lost the power wire to my imac and i don't know where to buy it
anyone know where can I get it and how much it costs?Newer iMacs use ordinary computer power cords commonly used on all sorts of electronic equipment.
The power cord used on G5 iMacs (I think) is different but is also readily available. Either one will cost you less than $10. -
Lost the power cord for time capsule!
So I've lost the power cord for my time capsule. I went to an Apple store and they don't sell them but the employee said that it is a standard cord and I should be able to pick one up at a Radio Shack or the like? Has anybody else had to do this? I can't find the specs on the time capsule either of exactly what type of cord is needed.
who ever told you that has Model: 61-2876 | Catalog #: 61-2876 cord in mind. I'm not sure if it will work...it looks close....are you saying you were told you can't order a replacement cord from Apple?
