American Apple TV compatibility

Hi All,
I have a question about purchasing Apple TV - In two weeks I fly to New York and was thinking of buying one over there (due to good exchange rate) - my question is, if I do purchase an American Apple TV will it work fine back home in the UK and be compatible with TV and Mac?
Cheers
Gary

PAL/NTSC is relevant to devices that specifically output one or the other, and to displays that can display one or more of these formats.
AppleTv can output a variety of formats, and the only concern is if the Tv in question can accept component/HDMI input (and is a widescreen set). The PAL/NTSC business is essentially of no significance with a modern TV.
AppleTv also has 50hz modes (I assume for strict PAL stes) if you want to use them but I have no problems using the near 60Hz standard output on my sets.
I bought a multi system TV for this. My Apple TV (bought from Amazon) displays NTSC but I do not think that it will work on a PAL TV, the tuners will be different. My CD players are the same, they broadcast NTSC only. Frankly, I would not risk it on an item that I can't return.
DVD players and VHS players are a different kettle of fish.

I'm completely unable to finish creating an American Apple ID for itunes use.

Hey guys, just purchased my Ipad mini, but I'm having some problems setting up an Apple Id via Ipad mini/itunes/and the internet. No luck with any of them. I'll try and provide with as much detail as possible in order to help.
I'm currently living in China. The Ipad was purchased in China yesterday (Im hoping the hardware itself isn't relevant to the problem).
I've been trying to register an account for the US app. store. Whenever I get the part where I need to provide credit card information (even when I bypass that information and select the "none" feature), after inputting everything correctly (this includes using an American credit card with us billing information) it tells me, specifically, "please contact itunes support to complete this transaction."
Unfortunately, it's pretty difficult to contact support as I'm living in China and have a pretty terrible Chinese phone. I use skype, and the calls get dropped sometimes. Really no other option at this moment. I spent about four hours talking to various people yesterday, and no one could really figure it out. Some people said it was because I was currently located in China that it wouldn't let me register with the American account. Other people said it shouldn't have a problem. Other times my skype calls would drop, and I'd have to start this explanation over again with someone new.
Would having someone currently in America register an account using my information and just giving me the account and password work?
Any ideas?
I haven't tried accessing the Chinese store, as I'd prefer having the American one. I'm not sure whether or not I'd need a Chinese card (I don't have one).
I've heard that purchasing apps from two different countries' stores on one device can cause problems. For example, if I moved back to the United States with Chinese purchased apps, would they be supported on an American apple ID?
Thanks a lot!

You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country...

Can I choose the keyboard in an American Apple Store?

Thanks.

Nope.

American Apple Account / French iPhone

I'm an American who lives in France. My finances, Paypal account, etc are in America, so I've been using my american Apple ID in France for many years now.
The only problem is that I have a new iPhone and there's no way to enter my French iPhone number into iTunes because it won't recognize the number with my French phone number.
This week I had to open up an French Apple account because I'm buying a new iMac from Apple in France. If I switch to my French Apple ID, can I still access my iTunes, etc. in English?
It gets tricky having 1 foot in 2 countries!

Actually, there is a difference. It's perhaps the way I stated it. I'm sure an iPhone would work in any country, but a phone number, and Apple ID get tricky.
I couldn't buy my French computer without a french Apple ID. I have a French phone number which I can't register with my American Apple ID. Maybe I need to register my iPhone with my French Apple ID and then switch to the American for synching, etc.

Hi!!! I'm new to apple, can I get an American apple I'd with out a credit card?

Hi!!! I'm new to apple, can I get an American apple I'd with out a credit card?

If you mean that you wish to purchase from the US iTunes Store, you cannot. That requires not only a US-based payment method (US credit card or US prepaid iTunes card) but also that you be physically present in the US.

Windows 8 and Apple product compatibility

Good Morning,
The other day, I went to purchase a new Windows-based computer at a non-Apple retail store. I would purchase a Macbook, but budget limitations. When I asked what Windows computer would be best for basic usage (managing IPOD, managing IPADs, managing music, and basic computing), I was told that Windows 8 is not compatible with Apple products. The retail personnel said that he had numerous returns of products because their Iproducts were not syncing (in fact he returned his computer). I have researched the communities and found that there are numerous solutions and reasons for the problem, but the variation in the answers leads me to think that the core issue has not been addressed.
Question:
1. Has the compatibility issues between Windows 8 and Iproducts been corrected? If not, is there any news of the compatibility being addressed in a future release?
2. What is the exact problem and how can it be corrected if I do purchase a new Windows computer?
Thanks,
Brian

Hi urbwebb,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
iTunes is compatible with Windows 8 and you should have no issue syncing any device to a Windows 8 computer. The Windows System Requirements can be found on the following webpage.

Can a Canadian buy a refurbished macbook of the american apple store?

It seems that the Canadian apple store has only expensive refurbished macbooks that I can't afford. Will I be able to buy a refurbished macbook of the American site and have it shipped to my home a address (in Canada) since the refurbished macbooks are cheaper? If its not possible, can someone recommend a laptop thats under $850 that is good for photo editing?

No. You must be in the US in order to access the US store. The US store will not ship to Canada.
Otherwise you could look for something on eBay.
This is the only refurbished product available for $850 USD:
*Refurbished MacBook 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo*
13.3-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display
 2GB memory 
250GB hard drive
 NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics
 Built-in 7-hour battery

Non Apple Display compatability

Hello,
I just joined this discussion and hope this is the appropriate place to ask my questions. I run a Powermac G-5 Dual processor with System System 10.4.6 and the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro graphics card. I have attached 1 Samsung SyncMaster 192 MP 19" monitor with a resolution of 1280x1024 @ 75Hz via the ADC input using an ADC-DVI adapter and a new 32" Insignia IS-LCDTV32 monitor with a resolution of 1400x1050 @ 60 Hz connected to the DVI input using a DVI-VGA adapter. My question is can I get better resolution on the Insignia than what I have by upgrading to a better graphics card? If so, what card would serve this system in a non-mirrored state? The only way I can run both monitors satisfactorily is by mirroring them. I'd like to extend my desktop real estate by not having to mirror them. I tried to connect both monitors using DVI but got poor results in both resolution and contrast.
I appreciate whatever help can be offered.

**WARNING**
this link is for the modern PCI express G5, so if you have dual G5 processors, vs dual core G5 processor, this may not apply to you. Given that you are referencing the ATI 9600 card, I think this means you have an AGP platform...
the PCI express options (for dual core G5)
all of these NVIDIA cards listed offer desktop spanning, which is what you want. unless you are a graphics professional, the workstation Quadro card is probably not worth it to you unless, you know some day that you want the option of dual 30" ACD displays.
I personally would take the 7800GT as it price is not too high and its performance is on a different level than the 6XXX series products. If on the other hand, you don't use graphic intense applications, never play games, then the 7800 offers no real performance benefit over the baseline cards and will increase system heat and noise.
the AGP option (for single core or dual single core G5)

2nd the comment on using the native resolution of the display. different pixel pitches of each display makes it difficult to (seemlessly) span, as mentioned, but if you wanted to use 1 monitor for a video window or audio workstation controls, then perhaps that would not be so unusual.

27" Latest Apple Display compatibility with 2009 24" iMac 9,1

Can anyone tell me whether the latest Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display released on July 20, 2011 is compatible with the 2009 24" iMac 9,1
The Apple Thunderbolt Display tech specs on apple.com/uk states the following system requirements:
Thunderbolt-enabled Mac computer, including MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini and iMac
OS X v10.6.8 or later
Currently I have Leopard installed but I have Snow Leopard 10.6 which I can upgrade so I have that covered but I'm not sure whether my iMac is a Thunderbolt-enabled Mac computer...
Any feedback/guidance would be greatly appreciated... Cheers, Sasdaman

Here's a new article that basically covers and clears up all the new Thunderbolt display questions (same things I previously stated).
Enjoy!!

Apple Remote Compatibility

I'm aware that my macbook (purchased new, summer 2010) does not have an Infra Red Sensor. This means that i cannot use a conventional Apple Remote. I do not own an iPhone (yet) or iPod touch. Are their bluetooth remote alternatives? What would be considered the most effective solution to my issue?
Many thanks
Matt

There are indeed iPhone apps that will allow you to use your phone as a remote for your MacBook. For example:

4Kmonitor and Apple TV compatibility

Hello!
I wonder to know if Apple TV 3 gen is compatible with 4k Monitor as Mac like
Sharp PN-K321
ASUS PQ321Q
Dell UP2414Q
Dell UP3214Q
Panasonic TC-L65WT600
Thanks for support:-)

If the monitor has an HDMI input then it should work with the Apple TV. Note however that you will not be getting 4k display but standard HD.
