Using your mac book pro internationally!
how do?
I am thinking of buying a new mac book pro, but I am trying to work out
1. where to buy it, ie here in Ireland, or in the the States.
and 2. I am emergrating to Oz in 5 months or so and I am concerned that the voltage difference may mess the computer up.
Any Ideas?
g5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
1) I normally recommend buying it in the country where you're going to use it the most.
2) No problem as the MagSafe power adapter can handle voltages from 100-240V. All you need is a power plug adapter from UK/Ireland/USA to Australian. Otherwise, yu can always buy the Apple Worldwide Travel Kit which provides the white adapter plugs for all countries. It is expensive but is handy.

Hello vdurphey, go from 3-bar menu button > Preferences > Content panel > '''Uncheck''' the '''Block pop-up window'''s
'''OR (i think better option)''' add an exception to your site in '''Exceptions...'''

Do you have to turn off your Mac book pro ?
Do you have to turn off your Mac book pro ?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you aren't going to use your MacBook for days, turn it off to save battery. If not, you can leave it in sleep mode. Sleep mode doesn't consume a lot of energy and allows you to start up your Mac in seconds, being faster than turning on the MacBook, so it's better to leave it in sleep mode -

Can I use my mac book pro in Ireland without a converter?
can I use my mac book pro in ireland without a converter? meaning just use my USA plug with an adapter (not voltage converter) in the socket?
Or go whole hog and splurge on the Apple Travel Kit, that contains enough adapters & such to purportedly enable you to power your Mac, iPod, iPad or iPhone anywhere in the world. Available at the Store.

Can I use my Mac book pro while downloading a tv series from iTunes?
Can I use my Mac book pro while downloading a long tv series from iTunes? Or will I lose my connection ? And my money?
I use my MacBook Pro all the time when downloading something from the iTunes store without losing my connection. If you would probably depends on the general stability of your WiFi or LAN connection, but you should not.
Also, if a download should get interrupted you can always start it again by going to "Downloads" in iTunes. -
I sent an email using my mac book pro and later on I return the mac to the store for good. Can I still retreive the email I just sent, how? please help!
Connect the HDD to your MBP. Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field. The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click on the Erase button.
Then try the clone process again. You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

i have been using my mac book pro for more than 11 months.
.My use is pretty safe as i use it only at my home and do not carry it to office...
my confusion is that shall i consider the APPLECARE PLAN....the plan is almost 20% of the laptops cost....Will spending so much money be worth itLike any other insurance, it's only worth it if you have a problem. I've purchased it on my "high risk" Macs and not purchased on the others. So far I've never needed it.

It is safe to say that i need help..................
let me start at the beginning.
I have 1 2008 imac. always a pleasure never been a problem. Attached to it i have an iomega 500gb ext drive. also been ok.
until now!!
The HDD would not mount. Disk utility suggested that it was ok so i tested the imac HD. I got error code 4MOT/2/40000004: HDD- 1502. This doesnt worry me at the moment.
I attached iomega to my Mac book pro and again it would not mount. The disk utility did tell me that the iomega needed repair. it advised that i should wipe it and restore.
So I used the MB Pro disk utility to create a DMG. and saved it to the desk top. I then erased the iomega. did a repair and it all seemed ok. So then i try to do a restore.
After a very long time it said internal error with the dmg. using disk utility i did a convert dmg (compressed) and saved it to the iomega. middle of the night job!!
got up this morning and indeed it had sent the DMG to the iomega. But i could not open it. The iomega itself seemed dandy asking me if i wanted to use it as a time machine etc and it mounted ok and i saved a small jpeg to the iomega as well. I then thought that maybe when i did the convert as a compressed file i made a mistake. i'm guessing it should be a read and write so i started all over again.......... wiped iomega (which was quite quick) then tried the convert tool again.....it trys for a while then says there is not enough disk space...........I'm not sure which disk it is refering to.??
I have purchased a 1tb hard drive today incase the iomega is some how full up.
So really my question to the world is .........Help?well no reply from the community. sniff- do i stink!? - probably a little bit. If i have lost all that data then I'm gonna really really pong.
Any ways i have purchased a 1tb usb HDD and have managed to duplicate the dmg file onto it. however still unable to mount the **** thing. so now i have ordered disk warrior which will be in my possession tomorrow.
fingers toes eyes crossed.
