Is there any way to upgrade to the 5s through international mail?

Based on my AT&T contract in the US, I am eligible to upgrade my phone at any AT&T or Apple store. I'm currently in South Africa, where neither store exists, and will be here for another 8 months. Additionally, I had my phone unlocked and a Vodacom sim installed in order to use a local number here in Africa while keeping the US number and simply minimizing the plan. Is there a way I'd still be able to upgrade to the new iPhone from here, or would I need to wait until I arrive back to the US? I'm thinking I might be able to receive the 5s either through mail or through an iStore (Apple reseller here), complete the data transfer through my MacBook, and return the 4s model either through the mail to Apple or the iStore. I went to the iStore and was advised that this would have to be facilitated directly through Apple... Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks for your quick response Deggie. Would it be possible to receive the free upgrade through the reseller here and put the phone on the same US plan when I return, or would iStore not be able to access the upgrade subsidy through Apple? They are an authorized reseller, but the sales associate I spoke to when I was there didn't seem to understand the subsidized upgrade policy coming from the US.

  • I messed up when I bought the second season of Game of Thrones recently. I wanted to buy the season pass but it seems I bought the first four episodes instead. Is there any way of upgrading to the season pass, without having to download those I have?

    I messed up when I bought the second season of Game of Thrones recently. I wanted to buy the season pass, but it seems I bought the first four episodes instead. Is there any way of upgrading to the Season Pass now, without having to download those first four episodes again? Don't think my download limit will cope! Thanks for your advice.

    Not that I am aware.

  • I just downloaded a video in HD, but I found out after the download was over my computer doesn't play HD videos. Is there any way I can return the video and get the SD version, or upgrade my computer so it will play the HD video?

    When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.

    I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?

    No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
    If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
    going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
    If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.

  • I have a 2007 13" Macbook White. Is there any way to upgrade my OS from 10.6.8 to anything above 10.7?

    I have a 2007 13" Macbook White. Is there any way to upgrade my OS from 10.6.8 to anything above 10.7? I keep getting an error message when I try to download 10.8.3 because Apple didn't make it compatible with my machine, but I really only need 10.7. So is there ANY possible way to do this with my current Macbook? Thanks for the help guys.

    According to these system requirements, no, there is no way to go higher than Lion (10.7), as Mountain Lion (10.8) will not be compatible.
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    Also note that both Lion and Mountain Lion are memory hogs and the realistic minimum RAM should be 4 GB; you can run it with 2 GB, but depending on how you use your machine, you may not be happy with its performance.

    Unless the machine was originally offered with an upgradeable option, no, the parts would have to be replaced with the same spec parts. You do realize that a logic board replacement can be as much as $600 or more?

    If you're using a PowerPC Mac, no.
    If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

  • Is there any way to upgrade to a newer version of os x snow leopard if my computer isn't compatible with mavericks?

    Is there any way to upgrade my software version? I've tried downloading java or upgrading it and it won't let me because my software isn't compatible. I was ready to install Mavericks when all of the sudden my computer isn't compatible with OS X Mavericks. Does anybody have any solutions besides buy a new computer?

    If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.      
    Computer Compatibility - Lion                       Lion
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.      
    Application Compatibility
    You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.
    If you have applications that you want to use that aren’t compatible, you can retain Snow Leopard and create a new partition to install Lion on or you can run Snow Leopard  server in a virtual mode.

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    PowerPC applications are unsupported in newer versions. You can upgrade Photoshop or you can install Snow Leopard in a partition.
    1. Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) and select your drive
    2. Go to Partitions tab, press + button, create a new partition and press Apply
    3. Insert the Snow Leopard install DVD and reboot pressing C key
    4. Install it in the new partition
    5. If you want to change boot, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select 10.7

    I have OSX 10.5...is there any way to upgrade Itunes so I can sync my new Iphone5c?

    Syncing the iPhone 5C requires at least Mac OS X 10.6.8. Mac OS X 10.6 DVDs are available at the online Apple Store; they require a Mac with an Intel CPU and at least 1GB of RAM.

  • I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog.  Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
    DVI
    Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
    Analogue
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)
    DAC
