Purchasing an iPhone in the States for use in Foriegn country
Am moving to Israel and looking to by an iphone before I leave the States. Will I be able to use the iphone in Israel?
This question comes up all the time, and the answer is yes if you purchase an officially unlocked iPhone, directly from Apple. There is no where else, in the US, to purchase officially unlocked iPhones.
You need to be aware of one big downside to doing this: You will have absolutely NO warranty & support for a US iPhone in Israel...NONE. If you have any issues, you will have to physically return the phone to the US for all warranty & support issues...you can't mail it back.

Purchase of Iphone 6 in US for use in Ireland
Hey I live in Ireland but will be in America next week and want to buy the iphone 6 unlocked and contract free. Will the phone work as normal in Ireland or will there be issues? I am currently on the Vodafone network in Ireland. Thanks for your help.
an unlocked and contract free phone from the US should work in Ireland - right now the only unlocked and contract free iPhone Apple is selling is the Tmobile version - LTE support will depend on whether the LTE frequencies used in Ireland are supported on the US Tmobile phone
you have to buy the phone from an Apple store (or Apple online - but i dont think you can do that unless you have a US address they can send it to and probably a US credit card) - if you buy the unlocked Tmobile phone from Tmobile or som other store it will be locked to Tmobile for 40 days
One important thing to be aware of is the iPhone warranty is not international - its only valid in the country the iPhone was purchased in ( the EU is considered 1 country for warranty purposes) - so if you needed to get the phone repaired or replaced you would have to take it (or send it to someone) back to the US - also Apple will only send the repaired phone back to an address in the country from which the phone was purchasd -
My daughter has an iPod touch using my apple ID, I just purchased an iPhone with the same ID. Is there a way to keep my stuff seperate from her ipod but still share the iTunes account? I was looking through the photo section on my iPhone and found pics my daughter has taken from her iPod. I do not want my pics, emails, etc to show up on her iPod. Is there a way to stop this from happening or do I have to create a different Apple ID for her to use instead?
If you have iOS 8 on all devices then:
If under 13 years create a new ID for her by:
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
The use family sharing to share apps
http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
If underage and not i)S on all devices then you have to create an ID for here under your name and supervise it use:
Create a NEW account using these instructions so yo do not have to use a credit card.
Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases. -
If i purchase apple tv in the state can i use it in Europe?
Hello Communitie Pepole.
My son has the third-generation AppleTV to my surprise it work right off the bat it was perfect, it mirror my MacBook Pro exactly identical sharp.
So now my question, is if I decided to purchase apple tv in the state can i use the power voltage in Europe?
Is it Universal?
Thank You. Jean-Michel.Bienvenue à la communauté Apple.
Yes, Apple TV can be used anywhere, despite its voltage. The only difference that you will see is the difference between the iTunes store itself and any localised services, such as the NHL channel for example. -
When I try to activate my prepaid CC card I get: "This card was purchased in a country that does not match your Adobe ID." I bought it in the USA for use here in the UK...how can I activate it? It is a student edition. Thanks
I don't know that you can purchase in one country and use it in another. Try contactoing Adobe support thru chat:

I have problems when using the camera on my iPhone 4S (the same for my daughter with a iPhone4)
A veil around the blurred photo, a development impossible and completely unable to read the bar code or QR code. What to do?Sounds kind of stupid, but check to make sure that your iphone case cover is not blocking the edge of the camera lens. I had a silicone case on my 3S and when it got older, it started tot slip and the edges of my pictures were blurred.

after i use 4.3.3 for iphone 4. the notification for facebook and yahoo do not work. what is wrong? anyone can help?
I am also on my forth hard drive on the same model.
When I unpacked the computer, the hard drive did not include OS X either. Actually, it was completely blank. Did not even have a partition table! I have also had random problems with the machine not charging.
I have replaced the drive myself with an SSD after figuring the Apple Certified technicians were incompetent. Now even the SSD is starting to fail
I have bought an HP laptop and setup Ubuntu on it. Hope it turns out better than my previous four various Mac models. All have had various repeating hardware issues that Apple Certified technicians have been unable or unwilling to correct. -
Will the iPhone 5c be abel for use with a Norvegian operator if I buy the phone in the US?
Will the iPhone 5c be abel for use with a Norvegian operator if I buy the phone in the US? Im going on a vacation to USA in a few days, and i dont know when the phone will come to norway, so if it's possible, i would like to buy it in the US! Is it then possible for me to use it in Norway when i get back with a Norvegian operator?
Jules Francis,
The model numbers are different and each is carrier locked to their respective carriers.
Even if they were not, the £269 price in the UK includes VAT. The price without VAT is £228.94
The price in the U.S. Store does not include sales tax. Last time I checked sales tax in New York City is 8.375%.
If you compare the pre-tax prices the difference is approximately £24. The rest of the difference is taxes.
Hope this helps,

how do i change the passcode for using my ipad which i created when i set up findmyiphone. this is different from my apple id and password
On both your devices go to Settings>iCloud, then scroll down and click "Delete Account". You can then sign back in using your updated details.
Note: "Delete Account" will not delete data from iCloud, it will simply remove the account from your device. -
I would like to buy the iPhone from the States but...
I would like to buy the iPhone from the States but I am from Canada. Is it possible for me to buy a no-contract iPhone 4 from Apple in USA, and bring it back to Canada to use it? Does it come with the micro-sim? I believe it is locked to AT&T but is it possible to unlock the iPhone at all?
Also, pre-ordering. Does Apple ship to a US P.O Box? And if so, would it arrive around June 24th as well? When pre-ordering, would it be mandatory for me to sign up for an AT&T plan as well (even if it's not a data plan)?
Thanks in advance!Also, pre-ordering. Does Apple ship to a US P.O Box?
No. Someone must accept and sign for the delivery.
Wait until the iPhone 4 is available in Canada, or will it be available in Canada at the same time?
Regardless and as already provided, the iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T only and AT&T does not unlock an iPhone for any reason under any circumstances. -

After 04 months of purchase of iphone 5 the lock button is too hard. At times its not working at all. The phone has been purchased in USA now I'm not getting service in India. After all whats the point in spending so much amount without any service.
The warranty says that Apple may restrict service of an iPhone to the country of sale, and any reliable salesperson will tell you that if you tell them that you plan to use the iPhone in another country. Such service restrictions are common with cellphones and are by no means limited to Apple's phones.
Sorry, but if your iPhone requires service, you will need to send it to someone you know in the US who can get it serviced and then send it back to you.

When I plugged my iphone into the computer for the first time i lost all my music and ringtones. Is there a way to get them back without buying them again, or will I have to buy them again.
Download the free app My Contacts Backup and use it to back up the contacts on your device now (it will back them up as an attachment to an email that you send to yourself). Then restore your device to your most recent backup to see if it will recover your contacts. If not, if necessary you can open the email and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts you have now back to your device.
If you need to restore to an iCloud backup this has to be done in the initial setup process, which requires you to first erase your device. If you have any more recent data on your device now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens on your device, and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish. -
What is the condition for using 'for all entries' and why?
what is the condition for using 'for all entries' and why? can any body tell the reason for this ? its a big favour of me .
regards,
ravi.hi,
for all entries is used to join two or more tables.
It is same as join but performance wise for all entries is more effective.
You can only use FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ...WHERE ...in a SELECT statement.
SELECT ... FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab WHERE cond returns the union of the solution sets of all SELECT
statements that would result if you wrote a separate statement for each line of the internal table replacing the symbol
itab-f with the corresponding value of component f in the WHERE condition.Duplicates are discarded from the result
set. If the internal table itab does not contain any entries, the system treats the statement as though there were
no WHERE cond condition, and selects all records (in the current client).
for example:
SELECT * FROM sflight INTO wa_sflight
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ftab
WHERE CARRID = ftab-carrid AND
CONNID = ftab-connid AND
fldate = '20010228'.
this condition, return all entries of the sflight
hen using FOR ALL ENTRIES the number of matching records is restricted to the number of records in the internal table. If the number of records in the database tables is too large then join would cause overheads in performance. Additionally a JOIN bypasses the table buffering.
So for all entries is used for filtering out the data from the two tables based on the entries in them.
Advantages:
1) For all entries avoids inner join & so the performance increases.
2) For specified values in 1 itab, if you to fetch values from other table you can use it.
3) Use of select stmt in loop is gets avoided, as u can use read statement on the the new itab.
