Using iMac overseas and not frying it!

So I bought my brand new 24" imac over here (US) taking it to Israel (voltage is 230V). To be safe on the voltage trying to figure what voltage converter I may need.
So under the new iMac info:
Line voltage: 100-240V AC
Frequency: 50Hz to 60Hz, single phase
Maximum continuous power: 200W (20-inch models); 280W (24-inch model)
What do I need to get? I dont want fry my new iMac. Thanks!!!

Steven is right.
All macs use free voltage. if you look on the case you will see that it tells you the voltage range.
Don"t buy the new local cord. just go for the plug adapter.
believable me that is al you will need.
Norm
P.S. - Look at all of your electricals you are taking. they will always tell U voltage ranges. If it says something 110V, DONT TAKE IT. (some dell computers are like this!)
if it says something like "110v - 230v" take it. It will adjust internally automatically.

  • Ow can I use my time capsule as a time machine backup without using it wirelessly and not as a wireless router?

    How can I use my time capsule as a time machine backup without using it wirelessly and not as a wireless router?

    I have a wireless transmitter already, would like to use the capsule just as a back up drive, I tried hooking up from the ethernet port on the imac to the one of the ports on the capsule but then my Wifi would not work. do I hook the cable to the port with the circle or the arrows?
    It is better to have the TC as part of the main network in bridge. You do not need to run wireless.
    If you want to use the TC plugged in by ethernet and still use wireless for internet, that is possible but the setup is rather more complicated.. the computer must not get confused about which device to use as a gateway or dns server.
    See info in this thread on setting this up.

    I need to add.. a USB drive would be cheaper, faster and more reliable. It is really poor use of a TC.

  • How to disable iMac screen and not to put it into sleep?!!!

    I would like to play a movie on my iMac but to watch it on my LCD TV. How to disable iMac screen and not to put it into sleep. PLS have in mind that ctrl+shift+ eject does not work, it makes my iMac screen go  black as well as the  tv screen.So far, i have red many articles concerning this subject, but no one seems to have the right answer. I simply can´t believe that apple did not think of it, as it is nothing new ....
    Thanks

    My brother has eight cats, so your not along. Fortunetly his go outside.
    I have been talking to the people over at macforums and they had some good thoughts. One guy suggested going analog and soldering in a rocker switch on the cable connecting a hub to the computer, turn off switch turns off keyboard and mouse.
    I was prepared to try that but a great idea came along. Arch, you might be interested in this too. Buy a cheap (found one locally for $20) usb kvm switch that takes one usb keyboard and mouse and connects it to two pcs/macs and only connect one of the outs to my system. There is a button to switch between the two, so when I want to disable the keyboard and mouse, I just switch it to pc2, which is not connected to anything.
    Cheap and easy solution. I wish I could of figured out how to do this with software, since there would be no money if it was freeware, but I guess you cant win them all.
    Thanks everyone for chiming in!

  • For the Attribute Movement type(BWA) we use Value " 201" and not "101" why?

    Hello Experts,
    We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario,
    For the Attribute Movement type(BWA) we use Value " 201" and not "101" and provide the Source syst(backend R/3)
    Can you all plz help me understand what is the difference if use value "101" for the  Attribute Movement type(BWA)
    Also,can you all plz help me understand if we shd use value "101" or "201" for the  Attribute Movement type(BWA) and under what scenario.
    Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    RKS

    Hi,
    Movment type " 201 maintained for the Classic scenario only.
    It is necessary to maintain the attribute if the default material group for a given user (or) sit is set to a backend logical system. The EBP system knows that if the user is set for backend procurement ,that there might be a possibility for a reservation to be generated therefore it checks to see that a value for this attribute is  maintained. The BWA value should be defined  for the  as 201 preceeded by the logical system and a backslash.
    101 should not be used. This isfor the Good receipt.
    In the extended classic scenario when you do the confirmations in SRM the movement type 101 will be created in the
    backend system (R/3 or ECC6.0)

  • HT4759 My "notes" made on phone disappear on charging phone using apple computer and not found on iCloud either...what setting do I need to adjust?

    My "notes" made on phone disappear on charging phone using apple computer and not found on iCloud either...what setting do I need to adjust?

    You got it.
    Notes - if notes are created in icloud notes (you may have multiple notes accounts) - icloud notes and only icloud are synced over all your devices and icloud server, so if you want to see those on the server you can go and manage (edit) on www.icloud.com.
    Since notes synchronize by using same IMAP email server - turning them "ON" will prompt you to create mail address.
    To add to that you do not have 10.8 that has it's own notes app, so your notes go to Notes folder in your icloud/me/mac mail and synched by your mail server.

  • Help! Bought a used iMac (2008) and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot.  How do I retrieve or reset the password?

    Can anyone help...
    I just bought a used iMac (2008) from an ebay seller and I'm trying to install quicktime but its asking me for a password and has Apple in the "Name" spot. 
    How do I retrieve or reset the password?
    It came with the upgrade of Mountain Lion but I cannot find quicktime in the applications.  When I try to install anything this Installer Password thing comes up... so I'm stuck.

    I think you're slightly misunderstanding something, so maybe I'll try to chime in, even though everyone has said it in various ways.
    Before OSX 10.7 (aka Lion) came out, the upgrades to OSX belonged to the Mac and not the user. Probably there was a technical legality in the user agreement that you couldn't do that, but everyone did. I could sell a Mac with Snow Leopard (or anything before that) by just erasing the hard drive, and reinstalling OSX. Then ship it to the buyer. Now, I was pretty honest as a seller, and including not only the original installation discs but also any upgrade. I would only sell a Mac if I was replacing it, so I always was getting the brand new version.
    With OSX 10.7, upgrading was done online, with no disks. So the upgrades were tied to an Apple ID rather than the machine. Recently, I sold a MacBook Pro (to upgrade to a 27" iMac), which came with Lion. I had promised the buyer that it would come with Mountain Lion, but I didn't know that the upgrade was tied to my Apple ID. I made good with the buyer by sending along a $20 Apple App Store card so that she could upgrade to Lion.
    So what everyone is saying here is that you need the original Installation discs or Snow Leopard disk to reinstall and wipe out the Mountain Lion that is on your Mac. It doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the seller, and without his Apple ID and password, you cannot use it. Once you do a reinstall of Snow Leopard, then you can upgrade to Lion and then to Mountain Lion. I do not believe you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard, but I'm not sure.
    If the seller claimed that you were getting Mountain Lion, then he was lying to you (or being more civil, maybe he just didn't know like I did). If you bought the used machine from Amazon Sellers or from eBay, then you have recourse through the feedback system or through PayPal. If you bought it any other way, you're on your own.

  • Getting Segment in the Asset Master ( Using SEGMENT Badi and not Prt Ctrs)

    Hi,
    We need the field Segment to be populated in the Asset Master to get the correct P&L Statements ( The depreciation run, retirements etc to post to the Segments) . We are using the segment Badi: FAGL_DERIVE_SEGMENT to derive Segments and NOT the  Profit Centers
    However, the field Segment missing in Asset Master (Class). The field segment is missing the Time Dependent view while creating the Asset Master Data. This is so because in the Configuration of Asset Accounting --> Integration with GL --> Additional Account
    Assignment Objects is not showing the Segment field.
    According to SAP help, I CAN DO THIS as mentioned
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/en/94/f13167dbae436a85a4a1d3ad75f274/frameset.htm
    But, as mentioned in the SAP help link above, I am not able to find " Activate segment reporting in
    Customizing for Asset Accounting under Integration with General

    I found that activation of Business Function FIN_GL_REORG_1

  • In order to use a US government web software, I need to use version 2, and not a current version. Is there anyway I can download an older version?

    The US Food and Drug Administration uses an authoring browser-based system for creating SPL files called XForms. According to the FDA, the only version of Firefox which is compatible is version 2.0.0.13. The current version of Firefox 3 does not work with the plugin (Mozilla XForms 0.8.5 Add-on).

    No need to use the unsupported and insecure Firefox 2, you can use XForms version 0.8.7 with Firefox 3.6, available from https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/mozilla-xforms/

  • HT3924 can i use iMac keyboard and mouse when it is in Target Display Mode and attached to my MBP?

    I can attach my iMac to my MBP via thunderbolt and run it in Target Display Mode, so that itsimply becomes a screen attached to my MBP.
    What I really want is for the keyboard and mouse of my iMac to also operate as if they were attached to my MBP, but I cant seem to achieve this.
    Is it possible?

    Its a wireless mouse and keyboard - dont think I can re-pair the keyboard to MBP since I need it talking to the iMac to enable and disable TDM?
    I expected TDM to natively pass through the mouse and keyboard to the MBP, since that is the obvious user requirement. But this does not happen.
    So I guess I want a workaround so my iMac keyboard and mouse can drive my MBP while attached via Thunderbolt cable in TDM mode.

  • Why is Merge into single pdf using InDesign CS3 and not CS4 ?

    I'm new to this so the question may be trivial, but it beats me:
    I've created some InDesign files in CS4 and want to combine them into one PDF. So I opened Acrobat 9 Pro and
    navigated to "Merge files into single pdf". I chose the CS4 InDesign files to Add and clicked the Combine Files button.
    BUT, this starts up InDesign CS3 and not InDesign CS4 and returns a pop-up saying "unidentified error".
    Why is starting CS3 InDesign and not CS4, and what is the "unidentified" error ! ?
    As background I intially installed CS3 and then updated to CS4, leaving the CS3 applications intact. When I initially
    bought CS3, just before CS4 was released I may have created pdfs from InDesign as an experiment, but it is possible I have not done this
    since upgrading to CS4.
    Thanks for any help

    Thanks Michael, I was not aware of quality issues. Actually this is not really significant for my usage this time. What I'm doing is just using ID to capture notes/images/links etc in several free format ID documents. I then planned to merge them quickly into one pdf using Acrobat. I can easily shuffle the file order around to create a handy portable pdf reference document with the Merge feature.
    Doing something similar from ID seemed to me to require me to create pdfs for each ID doc and them to merge them in Acrobat. I did start to write a simple script to do this in ID, but I then realised that I wanted the ordering to vary and the ID files would likely to change. Then I found the merge and bingo, that solved it..... Well it solved it on another CS4 installation that had never seen CS3, but not on my machine which had been upgraded from CS3.
    I tried looking in the registry for obvious entries that might point Acrobat to use ID CS3 rather than CS4, but couldn't spot anything. I wonder if there is something buried in there ?
    Thanks again for helping
    Regards.
