What kind of electric adapter/converter do I need to use my MacBook Pro and iPhone in Ireland?

I'm going to Ireland and want to take my MacBook Pro and my iPhone with me. There are a wide range of adapters and converters on the market but I need to know specifically what I need to access electric power while in Ireland. Do I need an adapter of some kind, or do I need only a converter of some kind, or do I need both?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
Bob

Your existing AC chargers are auto-switchable between 110 or 230 volts. You will probably need an outlet adaptor that you can purchase in most AAA travel stores or local computer shops. Or you can purchase Apple's World Travel Kit.

  • What product can I buy that will provide portable power to my MacBook Pro and iPhone and iPad when I am flying?

    What product can I buy that will supply portable power to my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad when I am flying?
    I recently was on an extended trip and the port for charging at my seat was not working.

    Unfortuntly you can't.
    The Apple Airline adapter is only meant to keep a fully charged battery from draining, however with newer computers requiring more power, they tend to drain the battery AND the power at the same time, thus require more power hook up without the computer running to charge the battery.
    Since your iPhone and iPad charge off USB, that's going to drain the MacBook Pro battery as well.
    To generate enough power to charge all three will require a portable generator which of course can't be used on a plane.
    The best you can do is have all three charged up before you board the plane, and use each for as long as you can.

  • What can one do with Bluetooth between MacBook Pro and iPhone?

    Hello,
    I tried enabling Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro and iPhone, thinking I could file transfer some photographs. It seems not to work; after trying to "browse the device" it effectively 'times out' (as if it's a neverending 'loading' wait icon). I saw some other threads here, "I can't sync/connect my iPhone and iMac!" with various replies, like "you sync [Calendar agenda] via MobileMe, not via Bluetooth."
    What does one do with Bluetooth? Can't I send files wirelessly from my phone to my laptop? If not, why not? If so, why is the connection wait interminable? I have enabled File Sharing and Bluetooth Sharing on my laptop, but see no direct means to do so in my phone's settings -- must this be done through iTunes? Do I need to configure something further before I can send files?
    I have iPhone 3G Version 4.2.10 (last I checked -- still waiting to install an update) and Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.8).
    Thanks for your time!

    "I tried enabling Bluetooth on my MacBook Pro and iPhone, thinking I could file transfer some photographs."
    This is not a feature of iphone.  Never has been.
    Other than tethering for internet, where provided by the carrier, you cannot connect to a computer/device/phone and do anything.
    Bluetooth is for handsfree telephone devices/headsets, stereo speakers/headsets, some keyboards, some peer to peer apps from the app store and tethering where provided by the carrier.

  • What are the uses for Macbook pro and Macbook air?

    Hi! I am deciding between MBA and MBP and need to know what the different uses for each one was. Like what would you use the MBA for and what would you use the MBP for?? All opinions welcome!!

    They're actually pretty comparible in what they can do if you're talking about the base model of both (say 13") with 4GB RAM. At that level, the Pro has the advantage if you're going to watch or burn DVD's or CD's, as the Air has no optical drive. But otherwise, they're pretty much the same--full-sized, backlit keyboard, camera, beautiful screen, etc. If you're going for more than a basic 13" Pro, then things start to change. For example, you can get up to 8GB RAM on the Pro, and a huge hard drive, you can also get a 15" or 17" size. You will be paying a lot for these, but, obviously, if you're going to be working on, say, making videos (which you may then want burn onto disk) the Pro is very much what you'll want.
    However, if you don't need or want any of that--if, for example, you plan to do the usual programs (word processing, games, web surfing, music, etc.), then you really won't see much difference between the two. At 4GB RAM and a 13" screen, the big difference is going to be thickness and weight, not power. And in this the Air will have the advantage--it's really amazingly slim, light and with a SSD, faster (you pay extra--a lot extra--to get SSD on the Pro).
    Just to make the point, I switched from a 13" Pro to an 11" Air. My hard drive size is half what it was with a Pro, but I was barely taking up half of that amount on the Pro, and so have plenty of room on my 128GB Air (you can get 256GB for the 11" if you order it online). Absolutely everything my Pro did, my Air does (sans optical drive), only faster and lighter and more compact--meaning it takes up less table space, slips in and out of my bag faster, balances on my lap easier, etc. But there was no interruption of service--I switched pretyt seamlessly from 13" Pro to 11" Air.
    The Pro offers you more options for power, screen size, HD size and optical drive. But it's really pretty surprising how few of us need that much power, that much room, or the optical drive. It's very freeing to realize that less can be more than enough.

  • What are the best practices to extend the overall lifespan of my MacBook Pro and its battery?

    In general what are the recomended practices to extend the lifespan of my batter and other general practice to extend the lifespan and characteristics(such as performance and speed) like new on my MacBook Pro which this past fall (2011)?

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior.  Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    SuperDuper!
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.

  • What adapter/converter do I need to put GoPro videos onto iPad

    What adapter/converter do I need to put GoPro videos from my iMac to my iPad?

    What file type are the videos? If you have converted them to GoPro video format, iMovie should be able to convert the video to a format that con be used by the iPad.
    H.264 videos output by the camera may be able to be used by the iPad by directly importing them from the camera to the iPad with Apple's Camera Connection Kit.

  • HT1477 Good evening.  What kind of an adapter do I require to plug my ipod shuffle into the Aux In plug to connect to my car radio??  Thank you.

    Good evening,  What kind of an adapter do I require to plug my ipod shuffle into aux 1 outlet in my car to go through radio???

    It's not really an "adapter."  It's a cable with a mini-stereo plug at both ends.  Here's an example
    http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Player-Auxiliary-Input/dp/B002AR5XIK
    Connect it from the shuffle's headphones jack to the auxilliary audio input on car audio system.  You called it an "aux 1 outlet," but it's really an audio INPUT, correct?  DO NOT connect it there, if that is an audio OUTPUT.  It needs to be an audio INPUT.

  • What cable/adapter do I need to connect my MacBook Pro to a Sharp Aquos TV?

    What cable/adapter do I need to connect my MacBook Pro to a Sharp Aquos TV?
    I want to watch videos on youtube or read articles on my laptop, and I want a cable/adapter that will hook up the Macbook to the TV and display the webpage that is on the laptop.

    Of course it doesn't. But you can buy an adaptor from HDMI to the Mini-DisplayPort port on the computer.

    Have a PowerBook G4 with software 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.  Got a new iPhone 5 - and seems iTunes does not recognize it. What kind of software update(s) do I need?

    None. An iPhone 5 requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to be synced from a Mac, which is above the maximum for a PowerBook G4(10.5.8.)

  • What kind of bluetooth dongle(usb) should I get to use my Magic Mouse properly?

    My Mac Pro doesn't have bluetooth. What kind of bluetooth dongle(usb) should I get to use my Magic Mouse properly? I already have one, but it makes the mouse seriously lacking.

    I keep the dongle plugged into the back of my apple 27" monitor so that means it is only 1 to 2 feet away from the mouse.  Don't plug it into the mac pro itself if that is at any distance from the mouse.  The closer you can keep the dongle to the mouse the better.
    Do a smc and pram reset.
    If all is lost, and you have xcode installed then you can do a bluetooth factory reset.
    Note that if you should sleep your machine, power is off the usb's, so the dongle is off.  This means you cannot wake the machine with any BT devices like the mouse (I use a wired keyboard).  Also sometimes upon waking the machine the mouse does not immediately re-pair (maybe 20% of the time).  So you have to flip its switch to get the system's attention.
    While I do have internal BT, using the dongle disables the internal (at least for 2010 mac pro's).
    And of course BT would go inactive if you pulled the dongle out!

  • Using old Macbook Pro Adapter with new Retina

    I have a 2008 Macbook Pro (15") that I've got about 2 additional power adapters for situated at various locations. I JUST bought a brand new 15" Retina Macbook Pro and would like to reuse the power adapters on it.
    Is this possible?
    Physically the magsafe plug won't fit but isn't there an adapter out there?
    What's the wattage restrictions on this?

    Hi zamboknee,
    This can be done with the MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter, which can be purchased at the link below. Aside from that, MacBook Pros still utilize 85 W input, the same for both MacBook Pros.
