Get a magnifying glass and a strong light if you are over 40 years old. Look at the fine print on the charger. See what it says for input. If it says something like 110-240 volts and 50/60 Hz, then you don't need a convert. You'll only need an adaptor. I have one I can loan you. Actually, if it needs a maximum 120 volts and you feed it 220 volts, you're far more likely to ruin the charger than the ipod. | ||

The iPod charger, like all recent Apple power adapters, will work anywhere in the world. All you need are the different plugs. Apple conveniently has a kit ($39) with the various plugs for different nations. If you look at your charger, the plug itself slides off. Remove your US adapter and install the unit for the country to which you are traveling. Cordially, Steven | ||

Apple has rarely made a power unit that doesn't work with European as well as American voltages. Even earlier desktop models had a little switch that made the conversion. |
