Where can I purchase a replacement power cord for my mid2010 mac mini?

I cannot seem to find it in the store.
Also, would it be unsafe to keep the cord plugged it but disconnected to the mac mini itself?

The Mac mini 2010 and 2011 models use a standard IEC C7 type power cable. This is sometimes described as a 'figure of eight' type connector.
See this link for some examples. In this case there is nothing specially Apple about the cable.

Having the cable plugged in to a wall outlet but not a device at the other end is not desirable. While there are no bare metal contacts to touch, if it was fiddled with by a child, or dropped in a liquid bad things could happen.

    Where can I buy a replacement power supply for Optiplex 9020 Mini Tower?
    I don't see anywhere on Dell's website to purchase this.

    So far there is no replacement/upgrade PSU for Dell Optiplex 9020 MT from Dell.
    Will a dedicated power supply work for playing games? i bought this system as used (excellent condition) just for Gaming Purpose (GTA V), now i am stuck with the PSU issue. I can alter the case to fit the big size GPUs, but the issue is of PSU.
    Will ePower EP-450CD can help me in any way. 
    My main reason for changing PSU is to play my favorite game.

  • Where can I purchase a replacement home button for a 7th gen nano?

    My home button fell out when I dropped the 7th gen Nano and shattered the glass while mountain biking.  I have replacement glass and digitizer in hand but no home button.  I have not been able to get anywhere with my local Apple store in regards to purchasing a new button.
    Any help?

    Tried to repair a toaster lately?
    On a device at this price range it makes no sense to have parts available and have a technician spend an hour replacing the button. They provide you with a service replacement instead, send back your old one and have it totally refurbished. Makes far more economic sense.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Check out ProntoCharger.com. I personally have never done business with them, but if I were looking for a new adapter for my iBook G4, I would give them a try.

    My cat chewed through the cord because he's not a very bright creature.

    Contact Apple Support. It would be a good idea to have your AirPort Extreme model number handy. It is on the bottom of the AirPort Extreme.

    Where can I buy a replacement power supply for my time capsule?

    Apple do not sell parts for the TC..
    And do not allow their OEM to sell parts.
    So you need to bypass Apple and create your own.
    Or fix the existing one.

    Thanks!
    Meredith

    I doubt it is available.. and since a new Mac doesn't even have an optical drive.. there is no need whatsoever today for the cd.. it is all available in the OS or download. In fact the stuff on the cd will now be totally out of date.

  • Where can I purchase a replacement key?

    My 'O' key has a broken. One of the plastic hinges in the back of the key is broken. Where can I purchase just the 'O' key for an iBook G4?

    I understand you mean by " 'O' key " the button at the bottom off your iBook to release your battery, right?
    If not, please make it more clear for me!
    You can order a new iBook G4 14" Lower Case or iBook G4 12" Lower Case, depent's on your screen size.
    The battery release key is a part off the bottom case off your iBook. So you need to replace the whole bottom. This does sound difficult, but with the following guide it is really easy!
    Here you can find a guide how to install the new lower case:
    http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/
    At iFixit you can always find every replacement part for your Mac.
    Hopefully this is helpfull or solved your problem.

  • HT201897 Does a Mac Mini purchased in the USA require a power converter for operation in Europe or should I only purchase a different power cord for it?

    Does a Mac Mini purchased in the USA require a power converter to operate outside of the USA or can I simply purchase a different power cord for it?

    Depending on which European country (should their mains access plug/port shape vary) the
    cord set with correct ends on it has to match. You can buy a cord that plugs into the Mini
    where the factory cord goes, and the other end has one for the wall source shape. The wire
    for the application should be able to support 110~240VAC.
    With the cord or an accurate image in hand, you could either get a new cable to match both
    realities (mini + wall supply mains local) or an adapter (US/Standard to EU/Local) for just
    the head or input part of the original Apple cable. One plugs into the other, then into wall.
    If you have a new Mini with a small modular plug/port on the computer end of the power wire,
    it would have only two holes and no ground; the other end would have two prongs of equal
    shape and size. Not a polarized plug and not a grounded three-prong. To get a replacement
    power wire for the MINI to go from power source to the Mini is recommended, if you are going
    to be staying in one location for awhile. A Travel Kit that offers no electrical conversion but only
    the physical shape adapter kit, should a available in travel stores, airports; big box discount
    stores, computer and electronic stores. This page shows the cord end of the appliance shapes.
    The other end would be the mains shape for whichever country you are going to....
    http://www.signalandpower.com/European-Power-Cords/
    So to match the country or regional power mains type is a primary concern for obtaining the
    correct replacement cord to supply the Mini with local mains power. The end which plugs into
    the Mini is of a certain type (numbers for EU and elsewhere are published, see link + images)
    & the end that gets plugged into the mains or utility side, needs to match the local specification.
    The link to Apple, to contact for Support and Service information in prior post, should be able
    to help find a source for the local replacement type cord they'd sell local people with a Mini.
    Apple local sources offer replacements for this purpose; and for travelers, a second cord for
    a direct use (not adapter plugs) is a better bet. For those who only need a cord in two places.
    If you are traveling to Denmark, UK, Swiss or other EU countries require different adapters.
    Even places where the power itself may be somewhat similar. However your MINI has an
    automatic power supply that will conform to that energy standard, you only need to supply a
    correct non-transforming adapter. Simply a connection to adapt one shape to another.
    The general purpose travel kit that is not specialized to Apple power adapters, would have a
    plastic plug/adapter with the local pins on one side, and the US/standard two slots on the other.
    So, no circuitry nor any other change of electrical power inside this device would be required.
    http://www.signalandpower.com/2-Prong-Plug-Adapters/
    http://www.signalandpower.com/Convert-to-Europe-CEE-716-plug/
    http://www.signalandpower.com/Swiss-AC-Power-Cords/
    In other words, I believe my other post already covered this. On the ground on either end of the
    path, adapters are common and the Mini does not use proprietary electrical components IF you
    have one of the more recent shape aluminum models with the power supply built in. The older
    Mini has the power brick and two wires. A US/Standard plug adapter to EU/Local would work in
    either case, since all you'd do is plug the adapter plug into the local mains and the US plug into
    that one... I see these kinds of discards for as little as 25¢ in thrift stores in Alaska. Or you can
    buy a new one. Or you could get a complete cord with correct ends on it, for Mini + local mains.
    Hopefully this helps somewhat. The only info missing is which EU country or region is involved.
    Their shapes of plug are different, so the adapter end for local supply has to match their standard.
    Swiss, Denmark, UK, and others offer different shapes and so on.
    The Apple store in the location you are traveling should be able to supply you with a replacement
    cable for a modern MINI, that has the correct local mains end, and the correct Apple mini end on
    the opposite. Since the unit is automatically switching, the magic is done.
    Since I supplied a means to locate any number of Apple stores, authorized service providers &
    other Apple related vendors in my earlier reply: https://locate.apple.com/country you could contact
    any of them along your route in the City in whichever EU country, to find a local MINI power cable.
    In any event, I'm done...
    Good luck and happy trails...

  • Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro?

    I am travelling to Europe next week and will be travelling on the road quite often. I would like to get some work done during that time. My laptop battery will inevitably run out of power during that time and I would like to carry an additional power source with me so I can get some extra juice when I am nowhere near an outlet.
    I have the latest MacBook Pro where the battery is not removable.
    Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro? I don't mind if it is a 3rd party product.

    you could get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-XP18000-Universal-External-Netbooks/dp/B002K8M9H C
    it's about the same cost as an extra battery used to be. there's a range of similiar products at Amazon, i'd check reviews.
