Apple 45W MagSafe Power adaptor states 110-240V, the plug itself states 125V. Is it safe to plug into 220V socket? Is power converter needed?
The cord's plug also states 125V.

Answer
Yes, your regular household outlets are generally 110V in North America. However if you travel (use the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit) to lets say UK for example, their plugs are 220V. You just switch the plug on the end of the power adapter for a UK style plug and your power adapter is ready to be plugged in, No converters are needed and Yes it is safe. Most Apple products have this feature.
The cord can be used for 125V only then, The plugs are best to use when travelling outside of North America.
Hope this helps :)- Answered by Matthew S from Prince George

I was sold an 85w adaptor for my new 13inch macbook pro-was this a mistake?
I already have an extra 60w adaptor but the salesman said it would not work for the macbook pro. Was he thinking of the 15" instead of the 13" that I was purchasing?

Answer
obviously yes, becoz in support noted that "using an adapter of higher wattage than the adapter that came with the computer will not cause the computer to charge more quickly or otherwise operate any differently than using the adapter that came with the computer."
