Which adapter plug  in World Travel Adapter Kit is right for Argentina?

My father in law is off to Argentina with his PowerBook in tow. We know it can handle the voltage down there but I don't know which world adapter plug he needs as it's not listed as one of the choices in the World Travel Adapter Kit. Nothing for South America is listed in the kit, for that matter. Any ideas?
Thanks much,
Jake

Jake,
Check out this site for the type of connector and voltage used in Argentina (and everywhere else for that matter).

It is the "Australian" type that he needs.
If he hasn't already bought Apple's adapter kit I'd recommend he just buy a travel adapter in Argentina, or in the Airport departure lounge on the way out - they only cost a couple of bucks and will work just fine. When I moved from Canada to the UK nearly two years ago I thought the Apple kit was overpriced - spent £2 on the relevant travel adapter that I'm still using.
Good luck,
Gareth

    How do I replace one adaptor from my Apple World Traveler Adaptor Kit?

    If you have lost it then you might find a single replacement you can purchase at a AAA travel store. You could call your local Apple Store to ask, but Apple does not sell the adapters separately.

  • Anyone know where to buy individual plugs from World Traveller Adapter Kit

    I need a bunch of UK plugs.
    The world traveller adapter kit (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M87 94G/B) only has 1 UK plug per box (yet has 2 US plugs - of which I have more than enough of...)
    I could buy some cheap adapter plugs - but I'd prefer the smaller, neater apple ones.

    Or does anyone know where I can buy extension cables other than from Apple?

  • Which adapter do I use for my DVI and RGB only inputs Monitor?

    My Samsung monitor only has RGB and DVI inputs.  I can't figure out which adapter from Apple to buy since I'm new in the Mac world and not sure of the limited port options I have.
    Thanks.

    You don't say which Air you have.
    Provided yours is one with a Mini-Displayport or Thunderbolt, this should do the job.

  • MB and world travel adapter kit

    I'm thinking about buying a MB for use in travel. I have a world travel adaptor kit, but I notice the store page specifically does not list the kit as supporting the regular MB (it lists the MB Pro, iPods, etc.).
    Does this mean the kit is not recommended for use with a MB? If not, why not, and what product, if any, is recommended?
    And if I do decide to use the not-recommended adapter kit, what's the worst that can happen?
    Thanks for the help.
    MB   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    The kit is the one offered through Apple on this site's store. I originally bought it to charge an iPod overseas, and I've had it for about a year.
    According to the store page:
    The World Travel Adapter Kit includes a set of six AC plugs with prongs that fit different electrical outlets around the world. For world travelers, this is the perfect kit to ensure power connectivity in most countries you may travel to. The Kit is designed to work with (and requires) the white portable power adapter that ships with iBook, MacBook Pro, and PowerBook G4, and it also works with the iPod USB Power Adapter and iPod FireWire Power Adapter (available separately). The AC plugs included in the World Travel Adapter Kit directly support outlets in North America, Japan, China, United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Korea, Australia, and Hong Kong.
    Compatible with power adapters for iBook, MacBook Pro, PowerBook G4, iPod USB Power Adapter, and iPod FireWire Power Adapter.
    It does not say regular MB, so I don't know if it's compatible or if there's something else out there, either made by Apple or another vendor, that is recommended. I don't want to fry a brand new MB on its first trip out of the country.
    Thanks for your help.

  • World Travel Adapter Kit with Lightning Cable

    Hello,
    I would like to buy the world travel adpter kit but it comes with the "old" cable, when it will be released with the lightning cable?
    thank you!

    WRONG. I quote the product page: The World Travel Adapter Kit includes a USB power adapter, a USB cable, and a set of six AC plugs with prongs that fit different electrical outlets around the world.

  • Using Apple World Travel Power Adapter with Airport Extreme

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if you can use Apples World Travel power adapters they sell for Powerbooks and ipods on an airport express. I'm looking to use it in Switzerland.
    Thanks

    1) use some sort of USB to Ethernet converter to plug the USB device into the AE
    A "normal" USB-to-Ethernet adapter/converter merely makes the computer network capable. Useful if an Ethernet port is not provided originally. This is not what you want in this case. Instead, if you wish to connect an existing Wi-Fi base station (router), you should look for a special adapter (maybe something like this) with an Ethernet output and support for the very USB mobile broadband modem that you are using.
    An alternative solution could be a dedicated mobile broadband router (with support for said USB modem), where you choose to or not choose to use its Wi-Fi capabilities.

  • HT1981 I will use my 110V MacBook in the Philippines which has 220V sockets. Will the World Travel Adapter Kit help me?

    I will use my 110V MacBook in the Philippines which has 220V sockets. Will the World Travel Adapter Kit help me?

    Assuming you're in North America now, you probably won't need any sort of plug adaptor there; most sockets in the Philippines are the same as those in North America. In case you do, it doesn't contain the correct adaptor.
    Voltage conversion is handled by the MacBook without any additional components.

  • Which adapter plug from the Apple Worldwide Adapter Kit should I use for travel with MacAir to Czechoslovakia and Hungary?

    Traveling to Czechoslovakia and Hungary and puirchased the Apple Worldwide Adapter Kit. I'm confused about which adapter plug to use with my MacAir. What does the correct plug look like?
    Thanks

    Here is the link to the adapter kit on the Apple website:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B/apple-world-travel-adapter-kit
    This may or may not suit your needs but I suggest that you visit an Apple store and take a look at the kit yourself.  With the information from prior link, you should  know exactly what to look for.
    Ciao.

  • HT1665 I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad. can the plug adapters also be used on the Mac Pro charger to charge up my laptop when travelling or is a special converter needed.M

    I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad when traveling abroad. I know this charger can be used on an iPhone, can the plug adapters also be used with the charger of a Mac Book Pro or is a special converter required?

    Is there any concern about the type of travel adapter kit? For instance, some instructions indicate they are for heat creating appliances (hairdryers, curling irons, etc.). I bought such a set, but do they present any issues if used with more delicate electronic circuitry (for iPads, iPods, or with camera battery chargers). I am leaving for the UK on Monday and need to get it right - are they too strong for the Apple products if they are not to be used with computers? What other options are out there?

  • World Travel Adapter Kit

    Hi all,
    Am thinking about getting the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit. I have checked the specs and the comments under the accessory details and can find a comment which answers this question but I am one for going by technical specs and I cannot find any. For my own reassurance, can an owner of said kit confirm it is a 2A charger and thus will  'fast' charge the New IPad (IPad 3). Thanks all. (ps I have a new iPad so know fast charge is ironic but lol I hope you know what Im trying to say, ie it's not a 1A charger-it's just I've heard it works with an iPod / iphone so think I need clarification.)

    Alternatively, a third party plug adapter will work just as well. THe power brick is rated to accommodate the world wide voltage variances (100-240V) so all you really need is a plug adapter.
    Not saying don't buy it, however 40+ for the world wide kit or $10 or less for a plug adapter (if you aren't really traveling the world, why buy plugs you'll never use?)
