Voltage converter & adapter

Taking my ipad2 to Italy. What do I need to get to convert the plus as well as the current? (US=110 volt @60 cycles/second). Italy = 220Volt @ 50 cycles/second) Please advise.

You will need a plug adapter only. The iPad power supply is auto sensing, and works with voltages from 100-240 volts.

  • Heading to Sri Lanka - do I need a voltage converter or just the plug adapter for my Ipad?

    To recharge my IPAD do I need a voltage converter or just an outlet plug adapter?  The print on the plug that came with the IPAD is so small I can't read it!

    Just the plug adapter, as the power brick itself can go from 100-240 VAC, 50-60Hz. I'd take a spare charger and cable, just in case.

  • Can I use my I-phone with 220 volt with only a plug in prong adapter or do I need a voltage converter?

    can I use my I-phone with 220 volt (China) with only a prong adapter, or do I need a votlage converter as well. Unit purchased and used in USA.

    The iPhone charger is a world charger, no voltage converter needed. All you might need is a plug adapter, but that's it. Your charger will work fine & no worries about frying your phone as suggested by the orther poster who has no idea what he/she is talking about.

  • HT1688 I have the Apple world travel adapter Kit. Do I need a voltage converter to step down 220 V to 110 V

    I have the Apple world travel adapter Kit. Do  I need a voltage converter to step down 220 V to 110 V?

    As Meg said, no, you don't need a converter.  Take a close look at the charger... it says 110-240VAC Input, or something similar.

  • I have a Macbook Air purchased in 2011 in the US.  I am traveling in South Africa and am unsure if I need a step down voltage converter before I plug my laptop into the wall to charge it (using an outlet adapter).  Am I ok to just plug in?

    So standard electrical output from wall outlets in the US is 110V - 120V, and standard output from wall outlets in South Africa is 220V - 240V.  In SA I know I can plug in an iPhone using the iPhone charging cable and it will automatically step down the voltage, thus preventing my phone from overheating.  I cannot plug in a hairdryer or flat iron without step down voltage converter in SA.  Can I use the charger that came with my US 2011 Macbook Air and plug into a wall outlet in South Africa or do I need to purchase a step down voltage converter in order to charge my laptop while in SA?

    You only need a plug adaptor as long as the voltage is between 100 and 240 volts.

  • Step-down voltage converter or traval adapters?

    Hi,
    I am studying in Ireland with my iBook that I bought in the US - as well as a few other US electrical appliances. I have been using step-down voltage converters, but having problems. I just discovered today that I was using too many watts for the converter (the power adapter for the iBook uses 45 watts, and the converter suggests a max of 30 watts) but I am still not sure if that is why the converters keep breaking. The fuse seems to be fine (why I don't think the watts are the problem) and the first two converters broke after being used for a few months (but within a few days or hours of being used with a computer for the first time). So I was still of the conclusion that the converters were just going bad on their own - not built to last so long.
    Tonight I plugged my iBook in with a third, brand new converter and was part way through charging it up when the light on the charger went from amber to green and then off. Now this third converter does not seem to work anymore - and the fuse seems fine.
    So at this point I'm pretty sure it does have something to do with the computer - but am not really sure how to proceed. Has anyone else experienced similar difficulties? I see that Apple offers a set of Travel Adapters. Do you recommend them? Might this be the simples solution to these problems with the converters?

    Hi Oona,
    All Macs (except rev.A G5 iMacs and eMacs) have dual voltage/frequency PSU, and can be plugged anywhere in the world with no problem.
    —> You don't need any step-down voltage converter for your iBook.
    You just have to find a plug adapter or an Irish cord or power adapter (btw you can use the 65W too). Apple's Travel Adapter is fine, but you can find cheaper in Ireland, unless you need a model that you can use everywhere in the world?
    See this document
    - World Power Differences Can Limit International Product Use (KB #129)
    and check your other electrical appliances.
    The electrical info is printed somewhere: do not use the converter with the dual-voltage/frequency ones.

    You will need a socket adapter but no you don't need a voltage converter to take it anywhere in the world. I've lived on three continents with my MacBook, which I bought in Canada and now live in the UK.

  • Will I need a converter/adapter when I move to Malaysia?

    I am moving to Malaysia and need to find out if I need to purchase a converter/adapter to use my i mac there.

    You should only need a plug adapter.   Apple iMacs work on all voltages from 100 to 250.   In other words they are universal.

  • Do I need a voltage converter to recharge iPad battery in Ireland?

    I will be travelling in Ireland and am wondering if I will require a voltage converter to reduce 220 volts to 120 volts before recharging an iPad battery.

    Everyone agrees. When I was there I used such an adapter.
    It looks like this:
    The warning in one post, above, about not buying cheap is probably good. Plus there are 'travel adapter kits' in case you go to other countries in mainland Europe. And maybe now some have USB ports, etc. -- Enjoy your trip.

  • Voltage converter?

    does the ipod usb power adapter have a built in voltage converter? i bought the apple world travel adapter kit, it just comes with the plug adapters. do I need a separate voltage adapter?

    Can I charge my Ipad in Europe without using a voltage converter?

    Just spent 10 days in Ireland with our recently-purchased iPad and had no trouble charging it with the proper adaptor. NOTE: The UK uses a different adapter than continental Europe. Make sure you have the right adaptor for the counties you will visit. This article is helpful:
