Apple product pricing.

According to the Apple website, a 13" MacBook Pro has a starting price of US$1299.00. I'm from New Zealand so, if I go into an Apple Store in San Francisco or LA (or anywhere else in the USA), is this the price I would pay or would I have to add some form of tax?
If so, how much?

Likely, you'd pay any local, (city/county) and State sales taxes.
And then when you return to the Land of Kiwi, a tax on arrival
to cover any duty or other fees, as applicable on that end of it.
You could see what it could cost for you to buy the Mac on NZ
site, with pickup at a US store. Not even sure if they'd do it, or
what the extra fees may add to your USD $ price. But you should
have no issue on returning to NZ with the product, if bought there.
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Visit an Apple Retail Store
Sometimes, you may get a better deal due to variables in currency
but not that much since they aren't doing a daily quote on market
for minor fluctuations; or not very likely. Ask an Apple Store...
https://locate.apple.com/country
Check 'Locate' for  Apple Stores, authorized resellers, service providers & etc.
A few stores may offer a slight discount below the suggested retail, but not
regularly. This may partially offset a local tax, if a discount is available.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • What is the best home set up for a family to share/use apple products

    Hi, I am relatively new to apple (have an iPad) and having been a PC user for years I was pleasantly surprised with the apple experience and am now trying to work out the best set up for me, my husband and young son as I am buying them both of them apple products this Christmas.  New Mac laptop/ ipad for hubby and then an ipod touch for my son oh and a new mac laptop for me. We are also thinking of moving from Blackberries to iPhones. Yes we seem to be hooked! but i am unsure about the home family set up and how to replace my PC network that I run off an 8TB server.
    In reading the forums I keep seeing people talk about problems they have with two apple IDs and trying to merge them. I have also heard about a family ID allowing us to share apps legally.  I am really nervous of setting us up wrong and then having problems later and hence i am now looking for some advice on how to share as much as we can legally but also make usage practical and not invading each others privacy. thoughts so far:
    Music - I think we are happy to share the same music and access using one ID (we currently don't buy much music from apple but have lots of CDs we share).
    Photos - It would be nice to share photos - as long as my son or husband cannot accidentally delete photos of mine (which is my biggest concern). I currently load all camera photos onto my 8TB storage box as the network owner and my husband has full access to copy any photo to his laptop but can never delete the original copies by accident.
    Apps - If possible i would like us to share these but they are cheap enough these days to separate if really needed. Would be good to share licence for pages etc though
    cloud, contacts, facetime, email -  this is what is making me consider separate IDs or learning how to have multiple users in one apple ID - I do not want to have to share synced contacts with my husband. I have near 300 contacts now through work etc and he will not want them plus i will not want his or him being able to delete mine by mistake. and then for email and facetime, well I want to give him his privacy so I do not receive his messages etc. especially now that we are considering switching to iPhones
    Then last but not least, i don't know the best solution for my son. he is only 7 years old so even though I don't want to pay for things again I don't want him being able to download "just any" app from the purchased icon in Appstore. Also, is there a child friendly setting to prevent him from viewing inappropriate content on the internet?
    Appreciate I have asked a lot of questions here but I am looking for any genuine advice out there. Thank you in advance to any potential advisers.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You don't need to use the same ID on a device for iCloud and iTunes.
    iCloud covers mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, notes, bookmarks, photostream, document syncing etc and for these I recommend you each have your own ID's, this will stop others from having access to and likely more importantly being able to edit or even delete your personal information.
    Someone of Age needs to be responsible for an account, so for younger children you will need to create and be responsible for an account yourself but let the child use it.
    For iTunes you could use a single account so everyone can share music and apps or you could use separate accounts (there are ways to share content between users, Apple provides homesharing to do this).
    When choosing how to proceed with iTunes, it might be worth remembering that someday your children will reach 21 (or whatever age they feel they have become independent) and will likely want their own account, changing accounts later may make it difficult to access previous content.
    Photostream now has shared albums, so you can share just what you want with others. Shared photos using shared albums cannot be deleted by others with different accounts, but if you all shared the same account they could be.
    Facetime and messages can also use an ID independently of each other, iCloud and iTunes. Separate ID's are recommended for these, joint accounts can be problematic.
    iTunes has parental controls for youngsters, however at 7, I suggest you don't reveal the password to him and enter it yourself when he needs to purchase something, otherwise you may receive unexpected bills.

  • How do I pair a bluetooth headset when my MAC doesn't recognize it? The hedset work properly because they are paired with my iPhone. The headset is not an Apple product. It'd 3rd party.

  • Apple Products no longer AirPrint with new routers

    I have a OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910 Series printer and was using a linksys WRT160N V2 router (open without a password protection).  I also have an HP Laptop, a MacBook Pro Retina, two IPhones and an IPad.  All devices were able to print wirelessly on the Office Jet.
    I sought to repace the router first with a Linksys AC1200 and then with an Apple Airport Extreme.  With both routers the HP laptop was able to print wirelessly to the printer.  However, the apple products could not.  All equipment is on the same network (password protected).  Sometimes the Apple products can see the printer and I think when first connected they will print.  But within a few minutes will no longer be able to perform an airprint.  If I delete the printer and try to add it - the printer disappears as a nearby printer and sometimes does not show up as a bonjour printer either.
    While I can limp along with the older router, I worry that when it finally dies, I will no longer be able to use this printer wirelessly.  I have both new routers in their boxes ready to be returned - but perhaps there is a solution.
    I have spent hours on the phone with both Apple and witih Linksys to no avail.  I do think this is an HP problem and so do they.
    I have tried limiting the router to a 2.x Ghz - and note that using a 5 Ghs frequency makes the Apple products ever less happy.

    Hi @StarvationPoint,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that since changing your router that you are encountering difficulties in using AirPrint from your Apple mobile devices.
    I have included a post by @Shirlzz1 on the forums titled Help Determine if your router can support AirPrint with the Bonjour Discovery App. It will walk you through downloading an app that checks to see if the routers support Bonjour (I know the Apple AirPort Extreme does).
    I’ve also included the Printing Over a Wireless Network with Apple's AirPrint FAQs document. It has some great trouble shooting steps in the “What if a 'No AirPrint Printers Found' message displays on my Apple device?” section.
    Please let me know the outcome.
    Regards,
    Happytohelp01

  • I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

    I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • I need help,  I recently won an iphone 5 in a survey !  I have never had an apple product before.  I have had to drive to Newcastle on two occaisions to attend workshops, they were only just helpful !  most people had ipads , i was only one with iphone,

    I need some help. I recently won an iphone 5 in a customer survey. Could not believe my luck . That was mid March 2013.  I have never used any apple products before.  Today I want to get out my old Nokia E5 and go from there.  I have attended two workshops at an apple retail store at Charlestown Square, they were not very helpful, everyone at the workshop had ipads, i was the only one with an iphone. I know that to navigate around on them is simular, but after going to two workshops, which i had to drive over an hour there and back, just to get some help in how to use a mobile phone is ridiculous to me!  I noticed some problem with , I could hear people i was talking too, they could not hear me, just prior to attending my second workshop,  after much debate I was told that the phone had a manufacturing fault and that I was going to be issued with a new phone.  That was 2nd April, since then i have virtually no reception, can't send txt messages, cannot connect to my wi-fi device,  problems with battery.   The battery , once fully charged does not last 24 HRS,  this morning for example - was 100% charged, made a 2 min local phone call  , at completion of call , battery displayed 80%.   By lunch time it was displaying 56%,  i had not used the phone at all ! i don't understand it!  I have been with the same phone provider for 2yrs now and have never experienced the problems i am having now.  CAN ANYONE HELP ME ?  Yours Sincerely  Tracey.

    Tracy, first you should restart the iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  This process could solve some of your problems.  Also make sure you have the latest update, go into  our settings>general>software update.  On the wifi issue try restarting your router, if you are still having problems try resetting your network settings, go into your settings>general>reset then tap reset network settings. 
    The battery issues seems normal, the battery will not last 24 hours.

    I need advise and help with this problem .
    First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
    At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
    In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
    Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
    trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
    Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
    ''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
    With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
    I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
    Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

    Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
    To remove it, see:

    Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

    try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
    One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

  • I already have an iTunes account but need to open a new one as I have many apple products but am limited to how many I can use my iTunes account on. How do I open a new one please. Thanks

    Hi I already have an itunes account registered to my address and email address.
    The problem is, I have many apple products but i'm limited to how many products I can use one itunes account for.
    How do I open a new itunes account for the same address please.
    Thanks for your help.
    Sam

    Well, you can probably do it, but then you also have to buy the products again to use them from the other account since they cannot be transferred or shared between accounts.  So if you have 7 computers and want the same movie authorized on all of them, you'll have to buy the movie twice and then authorize some devices on one account and others on the other.
    Do you really have >5 devices, or is it just that you have a lot of devices authorized that no longer exist but are tying up authorization slots?  If that's the case, you can deauthorize things.
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 - and another helpful post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17828050
    I have no idea how to do multiple accounts but you may need to create a new e-mail address (plenty of free ones out there).

    I will start off by apologizing if the answer to my question is located elsewhere.  I was unable to find a thread that addressed my entire question.  The general question I have will be what will be associated with the iCloud ID and what will be associated with the Apple ID?  There are currently six Apple products in our home: two iPhone 4's, two iPads, a MacBook and an iMac.  I will address the issues below which I think may be impacted multi-user, multi-device households like ours, depending on which services are attached to which ID.
    1. iTunes, iTunes Match, iBooks, Newstand, App Store - in a perfect world, only these items will all be attached to the Apple ID.  My wife and I currently use one Apple ID for our purchases and would prefer to conitune to do so.
    2. iMessage - I presume this will be based on the iCloud ID?  If someone sends my wife an iMessage, I want it to come to her iPhone and her iPad.  I don't want to see her messages on mine, and vice versa.  If this feature is associated with the Apple ID, one would think you would see them on all four devices.
    3. GameCenter - Same issue as iMessage, I would hope it is attached to the iCloud ID so our friends\game results stay seperate.
    4. Safari - Reading list.  Hopefully this is iCloud.
    6. Photo Stream - everything I have read says this will be part of iCloud, so that service will be kept seperate.  However...
    5. Wifi Sync - No clue what will happen here.  We have one Apple ID that is used on both Mac computers.  Will both of our iPhones and iPads sync to both computers? The iOS5 description on Apple.com lists everything it syncs, which includes photos.  Does that mean local photos on our phones or is Photo Stream also a part of the sync?  Or will it be just be backing up the pictures stored locally on a specific iDevice?  Who knows, hopefully we will be able to keep the pictures on our phones seperate.
    If anyone can shed some light on these issues, it would be greatly appreciated.  Hopefully, one ID for purchases, and another for everything else, similar to MobileMe, will continue to be the way things are handled.
    Thanks in advance for any help or advice you provide.

    I am having the exact same issue and am pulling my hair out trying to figure it out....so much for Apple being easy!! 
    We have two iphones, macbookpro, mac, and ipad and ipad2.  My catch is the ipads and imessage. I have no issue at all with how we have everything set up right now and how we share everything under one Appleid.  The problem I have, is with iMessage......I want her iPad to get HER iMessage/texts........and I want my iPad to get mine only.  In other words...I want to be able to seemlessly imessage fromiPads to iPhones to each other when we wish and not have to send it to her "email".  I want to send it to her "phone number".
    Does that make sense?  Really frustrated here at this point.  Seems silly that we would have to have totally different setups now, cause I don't want to have to redo all of the contacts for her because we have to set up multiple iCloud accounts in order to use iMessage to each other.
    I have got to be making this more difficult than it actually is.  Just have to be.  Why can't a device have two iCloud accounts?
