I moved to overseas and bought a new Mac. Can I still log into my Australian Apple ID?

So, I have a Macbook Air (13 inch, Mid 2011, Version 10.10.1 Yosemite).
It's running out of space and kinda getting old. So I want to get a new Mac Mini because I can get hold of a cheap good quality screen, keyboard, and a mouse.
The problem is that I have moved overseas. I'm no longer in Australia. I won't be back in Australia for quite some time.
So my question is, could I still access my Australia iTunes and App Store while I'm overseas even if I buy a new Mac Mini and try to use it outside Australia?
Because when you first fire up your MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, or any other Apple products, they ask you to pinpoint your location.
I would love to have access to stuff on Australian iTunes store. They have what I need and and also the Australian stuff that you can't get off other country's iTunes store. Plus, I have already purchased so much stuff off iTunes and AppStore.
So, please someone help me out here! It would be much appreciated. Otherwise, I will have to ask a friend of mine who still lives in Australia to buy a new Mac Mini and fire it up and pinpoint the location in Australia and ask him to bring it with him next time I see him.
Cheers!! Have a good one!

The physical location of your Mac is not relevant to your Apple ID's actual region setting.
You will be able to log into your account and keep all your previous purchases just fine.
If you are going be maintaining an Australian Payment Method for your Apple ID, then you should have no issue with your past purchases on your new Mac.
If you use iTunes Gift cards, they will need to be from Australia as each country gets specific gift cards that can only be used with Apple ID's from that country.
Its technically not legal to buy from a store of a country you are not actually in. But I don't know of anybody who's actually not been able to do this.
All in all, you should have no issue, locating the new Mac wherever you are now, but still use your Australian account.

You need to install Adobe applications ... transferring them does not usually work.

I'm confused
I took this to mean that your DID have an install disk.
By holding down the "C" key, you are booting to the install CD.
Alternatively, you can hold down the "option" key, to select which drive to which you want to boot.

HT203167 I purchased the ink word processing program and installed it on a new iPad last week. I couldn't use my computer to access the cloud so I couldn't transfer files to the iPad. I returned the ipad and bought a macbook air, can I still load the in

Can I still use my ink program for my mac air? I loaded it on an ipad that I returned. How do I do it?

You can only use that app on an iPad (and potentially an iPhone or iPod Touch if it's not an iPad-specific app) - you can't use it on a Mac as they are different operating systems.

If i bought a new mac, can i upgrade my old one for free aswell?

I bought a Retina Macbook Pro, which i can upgrade for free to Mountain Lion. I haven't received my Redeem code, so I'm wondering whether that will work on all my old Macs anyway. Cause if it only works with the newly bought MBP, I might aswell buy ML cause I want it on my older iMac too and install it on both my Macs.

You can install ML from the MAS on any apple branded computer that is tied to your apple id (you own).
So you can install it on your old computer, if it is an apple computer and if it is one of the models supported by ML in it's tech specs.
I'm sure there are a lot of people in line to get their code. They will get to you ASAP!

I am using FCP 7.0.3.on my Mac Pro. I bought a new mac book pro and loaded the software on to the lap top but the software is 6.0.3. How do i get the update to the lap top?

.. and by the way, the jump from FCP 6.0.3 to FCP 7.0 (or higher) isn't an "update" It's a full version "upgrade" that has to be done using the install discs (or disc images).

Congratulations on the new Mini. Are you saying you tried burning and it does not play, or do you want to burn it only for the computer to be able to play it?

I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
/Applications/Aperture.app
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

Apple TV worked until today. Message says unsupported signal check your output device. I have checked hdmi cable with another device and it's fine. Put on a different tv and same message. Went out yesterday and bought a new Apple TV and same problem.

Which TV do you have.
You may wish to try the following:
Press and hold the menu and the up button simultaneously on the remote for six seconds, the Apple TV should then begin to cycle through the various resolutions available to it at 20 second intervals.. If you see a picture appear up on your screen, use the remote to scroll down to the OK option and select it.

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library. Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists. Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

Using Match as a backup for iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17039436#17039436
In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

I just bought a new Mac and migrated my CS6 over. Now when I open it, I'm told I'm running a trial version of Cloud. Why can't I use my CS6 version that I purchased? I don't want to pay for something I've already bought.

I got my ipad stolen and I locked it and bought a new one. When I am offline and someone tries to call me or message me it goes to my stolen ipad how can this be if it has been locked? Why do they still have access to my contacts/facetime/messages?

I got my Ipad stolen one month ago and bought a new. I locked the stolen one but now everytime someone calls me and my new ipad is offline the calls or messages will go to the stolen one. It is kind of creepy to know that my thiefs can read everything and send messages on my behalf to my contacts.....I have done the find my iphone application and it says that the ipad has not been used however I have family tell me that people that are not me answer the calls... I have also seen messages in my new ipad that I did not write.

That message is usually due to a bad cable.

I just bought a new Mac and I want to transfer some data (not all) from my old Mac. Basically, I want to move my itunes library, iphoto library, and a few documents. I have not even turned on my new Mac yet. Is the best way by an external hard drive?

If both have Firewire ports then you can accomplish your goal by using Target Disk Mode. If this is not possible then you can do using an external drive or if you have a local network connect both to your network and use filesharing between the two computers.

I bought a new mac and my music in itunes didn't transfer over from my old cpu. Most of it was put on with cd's I have. Can I transfer the music from my I-phone to itunes on my mac?

It sounds like there's something amiss with either your ID or the new system you're using. I've been using iTM on a Win7 and OSX SL system and have been able to upload and download to the Cloud on both. I've been using them interchangeably for the last week or so.
I would also recommennd giving Apple support a call, to see what they say.

I moved to overseas and bought a new Mac. Can I still log into my Australian Apple ID?
