Im looking at travel adapters to buy for my trip to Europe, and many of the adapters say that it only adapts the plug but does not convert the current, so you cannot use an item that only takes 110v.

However, I read that the Iphone cube converts the current so it can take 110 or 220v. However, my question is how about if I plug my iphone directly into the USB opening of an adapter that is not a converter (without using the iphone cube). Would that be okay?


If your adapter has a 5v USB outlet it should work. However, be cautious about cheap and nasty end of third party USB adapters which may not be manufactured to the quality you expect from Apple branded equipment. Your Apple power adapter is designed to accept any AC voltage between 110 and 230v, so you only need to do the plug fitting conversion.


For the record, the input power for normal charging adapters and power supplies are always AC but this has no connection to the voltage. The true reason for the range is because the normal domestic voltage for some countries including Japan is 100V, and the maximum is nominal 240V which used to be found here in UK. So, 100-240 means worldwide cover of any domestic mains (utility) power.


We are traveling to Scotland for 9 days at the end of the month. Do most B&B's/hotels have IPhone charging capability or do we need to bring a converter? I am assuming we will be able to charge our phones in our car rental but we will only have the car for 5 out of the 9 days. Thank you for all input:)


Unless your iPhone has the capability to charge at 120 and/or 240 volts, you'll need to bring along a converter. Make sure that it includes the standard British plug (triangular prong pattern - one vertical shaft, two horizontal shafts) adapter. If your iPhone will charge at both voltages, you only need the adapter. But make absolutely sure, otherwise you'll end up with a fried iPhone.


I would doubt they have a dedicated charging station that you would plug a USB connection directly in to. Bring your charger and cable that you use at home and plug that into your UK adapter that you have plugged into the room outlet. You should not need a voltage converter, only an adapter.


We have USB sockets next to the bed in our B&B (on Skye) and another in our guest sitting room. However, I think we are probably quite unusual (my husband is very techie!). You'll need to bring your plug I think.


Just as in the US, it is impossible to predict whether any individual accommodation will have USB plugs (I think that's what you mean.) Although many places lend plug converters, they also can run out of them, because guests walk off with them. A plug converter would be a good investment for any traveler. Yes, you have to develop a collection of them over years of travel.


Look at your iPhone charger. It has a regulated "RATING" on the side, almost certainly "100-240VAC". Look hard, in a good light until you can find it. If it matches what I quoted, you can plug it into any plug-converter anywhere in the world. That's why Apple designed it that way. They make it with different male plugs, but the guts of the charger are all the same.


Rather than expose my ipad, camera or cell to "possible" damage... I take a couple portable chargers.

I charge these and then let them do the actual device charging. But as another said, most wall plug ins are rated up to 240v and "should" work just fine,,, BUT... being the classic Worry Wort... I add that extra step using a portable.


We only take the regular charger and cord plus the Rick Steves adapter. We never have problems. Besides, there is a lovely Apple store on Princes Street down near Rabbies/Calton Hill if you need assistance.


I've started just buying a USB charger when I arrive (for a few bucks). They tend to be smaller than the all in one's from home and work better. For some reason, I wasn't able to use my phone when my original charger was plugged into the travel adapter, but worked fine with the USB one I bought.


How do you do it? I saw one video tutorial on it, but the screen was too small. Also, other than changing the view size, are there any other major changes I would have to make to my iphone apps to convert to iPad?


Create a list of file you want to convert in fixfile, each line will be a file name without extension. If you original file name is AAA_Iphone.h, just put AAA. If your original file is not of this pattern, you need to revise the script.


You need not create separate target for each device. Instead, you can change the Devices in project summary to Universal which would be in iPhone already. This is answered in the link Updating iOS 5 App to Universal on Xcode 4.2. Thus, it will do transition for you.


Sounds like the best solution is to always develop as iphone first, then once you are complete done, add the ipad target, letting xcode do the update. I made the same mistake, selected universal to start, which creates the first few files, but then every other xib had to be hand recreated in the ipad folder. Big PAIN


Now for WHATEVER reason, I threw in a 5-outlet power strip so we could plug any rechargeable stuff in in just one place instead of scattering things all over the room and using multiple UK-sty;e adapters. I, uh, forgot to check that the power strip was dual voltage. As a result, when I plugged it into the wall, with the UK adapter, it popped the breaker that controlled ALL the outlets throughout the entire place we were staying at!


I will need a electric converter and an adapter to use for my hair styling brush for my upcoming trip to Scotland.

Is there an all -in-one converter with an adapter or will I have to purchase each piece separately?

Can you recommend a specific brand?


I found your explanation of the voltage discrepancy between the United States and Scotland to be particularly helpful. Understanding the difference in voltage, as well as the varying plug types, is crucial for ensuring that electronic devices and appliances are compatible and can be safely used during travel.


Your detailed breakdown of the types of voltage adapters available, along with their compatibility and usage, is highly beneficial.

Furthermore, your inclusion of practical tips, such as checking device compatibility, reading product labels, and considering the need for a voltage converter, offers additional guidance to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience for travelers.


To enhance the article further, you could consider including information on where to purchase voltage adapters or converters in Scotland. Sharing specific stores or resources where travelers can find reliable and compatible adapters can be immensely helpful, especially for those who may not have purchased one in advance.


Additionally, providing examples or stories of travelers who faced voltage-related challenges in Scotland and how they resolved them could make the article even more relatable and engaging. Real-life anecdotes can help readers better understand the practical implications of voltage differences and the importance of being prepared.


Overall, your article on voltage adapters in Scotland is an excellent resource for travelers. By addressing the specific needs and considerations related to voltage differences, you empower readers to plan and prepare accordingly, ensuring a seamless experience during their time in Scotland.


Surprisingly, the photos taken on my iPhone 13 Pro are saved in .heic format when I connected it to my Windows 11 PC and plan to edit some of them in Photoshop. I have roughly 1000 images on iPhone and would love to learn a fast way to bulk convert .heic to jpg on my PC.


[Update] Still receive notification from this thread from time to time. Actually, I installed a few heic converters, the one that finally worked is TunesBro HEIC Converter, suggested by Mohamed857. Here is the step-by-step tutorial (external link removed by moderator) you can check out.


CloudConvert is a powerful online file conversion service that supports over 200 different file formats, including HEIC, JPG, and more. It allows users to convert files without installing any software on their computer, making it a convenient solution for various file conversion needs. The platform is designed with an easy-to-use interface, enabling users to quickly convert files without any prior technical knowledge.


Please be cautious when using online converters, as uploading personal or sensitive images to third-party websites might pose privacy risks. Also, the conversion speed may depend on your internet connection and the size of the files being converted.


However, instead of importing your photos as HEIC and then converting them on your PC, you should be able to import them directly as JPG (having the phone convert them upon transfer). For this, change the settings on the iPhone. I have it in French but in English the option in the camera settings should be named something like "Transfer to Mac or PC" and then a choice between Original file (=HEIC) and Automatic (=HEIC when transferring to a Mac and JPG in other cases).


So, I recently got myself one of those fancy new iPhones, and it comes with this nifty HEIC photo format. It's all cool for saving space, but when it comes to sharing pics with friends who aren't on Team Apple, well, that's a bit of a pickle.


1. The main reason I got this software was to convert my HEIC photos to JPEG. All I had to do was drag and drop the HEIC files into the program, select the output format (JPEG, in my case), and click the "Convert" button. It was that simple. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the software converted my photos. Even when dealing with a batch of images, it didn't take long at all. This was a huge time-saver for me.


I'd definitely recommend giving TunesBro HEIC Converter a try, it solved the compatibility issue I had with HEIC photos and made sharing images a breeze. Plus, the software was so user-friendly that I didn't feel like I needed to be a tech guru to use it effectively.
