Using a UK-purchased MacBook in Canada
Hi all,
I am going on holiday to Canada in a few days time - will I be able to charge my UK-purchased MacBook overseas? Obviously I will need a plug adapter but i'm concerned about any possible differences between the UK/Canada's power network.
Thanks for help.
The power supply that ships with MacBooks is 100-240v auto-switching so it can be used anywhere in that range.
All you need are the adapters that take the UK-style BS-163 plugs to NEMA 5-15 type Canadian plugs.

Do I need a power converter to use my USA purchased MacBook Pro 3,1 in Italy?
Do I need a power converter to use my MacBook Pro 3,1 in Italy? I've had it for a few years, purchased and used in USA.
The block auto-switches to Europe power. You just need an adapter for the final plug-end appropriate for Italy.

I want to purchase a Macbook in Canada before I move to the UK for a couple of years. But am concerned about whether I can use a Macbook power cord purchased in the UK with my Canadian Macbook. Is the differences in voltage something that affects the battery life or will it be completely fine to use the UK power cord with the Canadian computer?
Thanks!The AC charge is auto-switching and works on both 110 an 220 volt systems. All you need is a wall outlet adaptor for the plug.

You should be able to. As long as you are signed in to the same AppleID that has an available balance. The services are linked.

I am using a late 2008 macbook and have recently purchased a WD passport ultra 1TB drive to use as storage. I have successfully formatted the drive, and moved files from macbook onto it, however now I cannot locate the drive within FINDER, even though it is showing within disc utility. Please HELP!!!!
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Open a Finder window, and your external drive should show up in the sidebar, under "Devices".
A different way is to go to Finder menu (in the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and tick "External disks". If your external drive is detected by OS X, it will show up at the top right corner of Desktop, so double-click it to access to the content. -

My daughter is going to the US and Canda soon and we want to get an ipad to contact.
Can you use an ipad purchased in Australia?
Also is it best to buy a prepaid sim card here or overthere?The 3G telecom in the USA is AT&T, so she will need an AT&T microSIM and then to activate a data plan from the iPad.

She can activate the data plan for a month with a bank card and then deactivate as she wishes. Hopefully AT&T will allow an international bank card.

I am using an older AirPort Extreme as my base station and I want to extend the range by using a recently purchased AirPort Express. When I try to find either device using the AirPort Utilities function on either my new IPad 4 or my older MacBook Pro neither device is detected. However the utility is seeing that we are connected to the Internet which is through the Extreme. What am I doing wrong?
For now, leave the AirPort Express powered off.
Power off the entire network....all devices.....in any order that you want
Wait a few minutes
Power up the modem first, and let it run 2-3 minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme next, and let it run a full minute
Keep powering up devices one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered up (leave the Express off for now)
Open AirPort Utility and check to see if the AirPort Extreme is visible.
If it's not, click the AirPort Utility menu at the upper left of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility. Post back with the version number of AirPort Utility that you see there....which should be AirPort Utility 5.6.1.
Post back on your progress. -
want to use icloud on my macbook and cant because I am using OSX10.6.8 - I want to upgrade this but I cant upgrade to mountain lion as my mac does not support this - cannot find a way to go to Version 10.7.4 which i understand supports icloud - help to do this please
If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.

I bought a real estate app on my iphone. I want to use it on my MacBook Air because of the larger screen. I see the icon in my Itunes account, and when I click it to open it, it won't do anything. Do I have to purchase the app again to use on my MacBook Air. Thanks!
The app you got only works with iPhones, iPods touch and iPads, but not with Macs. That's because Macs use a different operating system that requires different applications, so you have to purchase the application for the Mac

Make sure you are using the proper adapters. The problem could be your MagSafe. Take the MBP along w/the Magsafe & adapters to the local AS or an AASP. Let them check it out. Diagnostic testing is FREE!

Hi, recently purchased macbook 13", I have problem with sound when connect to my LG Smart tv with sound system. When i change sounds effect on my sound system also LG its all go quiet didn't have this problem with my laptop. Any advise ?
Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.

Have just bought a Macbook Air and the socket I used to use to connect my Macbook (White) to the TV when watching video is missing. What can I do?
The new MacBook Air has a Thunderbolt port. Apple introduced this form factor with the Late 2008 model (then called MiniDisplay Port. I suspect your MacBook had a Mini-DVI port. So you'll need to purchase an adapter for this computer as well as any additional cabling.

Don't pay any mind to the fact that it says MiniDisplay Port and not Thunderbolt, it's backwards compatible.
