Will an itouch from the usa work in ireland eg wont blow if i try charge it give REASONS for your answer

Answer 1

most electronic gadgets (ie, ipod, cell phones, computers) can be used (and charged) in the states and europe.  To be absolutely sure for your particular gadget, check  the bottom or back near where the power supply enters (or on the plug itself, that's where it is on my phone.)  It should say INPUT, OUTPUT, MODEL, blah blah blah.  Where it says INPUT, make sure the numbers go up to at least 240.  (for example, on my computer, phone, and ipod it says INPUT: 100-240/VAC)

The reason is, in  the states, the voltage [into your device] is 110 volts.  In Europe it's 240 volts.  Electronic things can pretty much handle both.  You run into problems when what your using has a motor or heating element (ie.  printer, hairdryer, curling iron, etc...)  If you want to use that stuff, you need a "step down converter" which will take the 240 volts out of a European socket and 'step it down' to 110 volts so as  not to fry your hair dryer.

When i moved to Europe, I refused to give up my electronics, so i still use my computer and ipod here, but my printer has a  power converter.

When my best friend came, she was terrified to plug her blackberry into the wall, but she did and was a-okay.

Answer 2

It will be fine. Reson is cause I live in the States & family & friends back in Ireland have me bring them home every time I am going & some buy them themselves while they are here too. None of them have ever had a problem.  

Answer 3

It won't work. None of the things you bring from America to Ireland will work.

FACT.
