Apple support Thailand Trip - help please
Hey all,
Kind of lost.
Iphone 5S of a friend got broke. He got it from his family before the trip. Newbe to apple, did have an apple id.just started using it. Mostly pictures, web on wifi, etc. Therefore i am asking for him.
Had battery issues, now not starting, charging, anything.
Problem, right now we are on an island in Thailand, next stop bangkok. No retail store there, only official resellers. After short stop we are off to india. Guess less stores around there. Enfield roadtrip...
Now the problem, where can he get replacement, repair.. Anyone any ideas. Can reach support chat. Only online with this iphone device...
Anyone any ideas?!? Plsssss help! Kind of frustrating around here!
I get it.. And i am not complaining about different warrenty models all over the world...
I can see a lot of reasons, why wartenty is not international. Specially because there are different laws around the world.
But having bought the newest model which is not a year old, i dont get why they dont offer service around the world for models under a year old.
Apple presents itself a a new, fresh, hipster kind if company.. On nearly every commercial they tell u how nice it is to take the iPhone anywhere u want, share vids and pics with all your friends from anywhere.. Now u realize that its more likely only in one country.. At least service related. For backpackers traveling around the world, iPhone therefor is properbly a bad choise!

In my Iphone 5, Nothing on my App Store is working, its displaying blank (Except for Genius section). I've tried to uninstall and install itunes and all its component in my desktop but still it doesn't fix the app store issue. Not sure if its problem with apple servers. Someone help please!
settigns>itunes and app store to make sure you are signed in.. If you are, you will see your account name..... anyhow, click your account name, sign out and sign back in
also go to to settings>general>reset and reset network settings... if that doesnt work settings>general>reset and reset all settings!
one of those shall work. The last step would be to restore your device (apple.com/support) HT1414 -

Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
"done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends! -

I have old MacBook running OS 10.6.8 I was told in Apple Genius Bar that I need a code from apple support to upgrade to 10.7. Apple support will not help because I am have their support plan. Can some one help?
hi Samberl
thanks a lot for the fast reply.
I was dragging folders from main folders on the laptop-desktop onto the external drive icon - to copy them across....
Your suggestion sounds very promising - I didn't know about 'cloning'.
Yes the idea is to backup the laptop - I thought I would just move it all now, new - and then keep saving/dragging physically across to the new drive myself each day or two...
Would this be the sizeof the internal hard drive = c.500 gb ? = under the HD icon on desktop is written :
" 499.76gb , 311.5 gb free "
I can erase and start agin on the new external drive - so this plan is to make two partititions, rather than the one at present, and make one of them 500 gb ?
I have found CCC [carbon copy cloner] googling - looks good.
When CCC site says it backs up the hard drive - would this mean all my files [over 100 gb] that are mostly in folders on the desktop, plus the others in itunes, iphotos etc found in the HD icon, would all copy across successfully [wherever they are in the computer ] ?
thanks again, hope you can clarify these things and then I will go for it.
It would be great and amazing if this 'lack of permission' message doesn't show up in the process of doing this ccc transfer - hopeful!

my itunes id is blocked by apple because of an internal problem trying to update the itunes version, apple support is not helping at all and I need to update all my application. Is anybody you had this problem before? and how did they help? thanks
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
I cannot upload an exel file from lap top to numbers in iPad, message says file not supported. Any help please?
File Sharing lets you transfer files between iPad and your computer. You can share files created with a compatible app and saved in a supported format.
Apps that support file sharing appear in the File Sharing Apps list in iTunes. For each app, the Files list shows the documents that are on iPad. See the app’s documentation for how it shares files; not all apps support this feature.
Connect iPad to your computer.
In iTunes, select iPad in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
In the File Sharing section, select an app from the list on the left.
On the right, select the file you want to transfer, then click “Save to” and choose a destination on your computer.
Transfer a file from your computer to iPad:
Connect iPad to your computer.
In iTunes, select iPad in the Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
In the File Sharing section, click Add.
Select a file, then click Choose (Mac) or OK (PC).
The file is transferred to your device and can be opened using an app that supports that file type. To transfer more than one file, select each additional file.
Delete a file from iPad: Select the file in the Files list, then tap Delete.
or use dropbox -
Have a new computer and now cannot access itunes without knowing the answers to the security questions. Apple support cannot reset as we have never used a credit card when purchasing prior, have only used gift cards. Can provide apple id and password and all other account details but still no help. Have we to open a new3 account and start again, this means losing a lot of credit on the existing account?!
I have the same problem. I didn't set a rescue email for some reason. To find out weather you hav a rescue password: Go to appleid.apple.com, sign in, go to manage account and then password and security if you do there will be a link below telling you that you can send an email to it. If not the link won't be there. Hope this helps.

last month I begin having problem connecting to the itune store.from my PC, Have had apple support help but that did no good. Itune will not connect. Tried everything from the troubleshooter page but it did not help. It have been 4 month now. Anyone else have any ideals?
many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.) -
HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless prints slow with lion. One page every 1.5 to 2 min. Apple support and HP no help. Any suggestions?
Although printer is wireless capable I have it connected directly to iMac via USB to help with speed. I just completed resetting printer and reinstalling to no avail, still approx 2 min to print one page.

I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro 13" and bought a brand new iMac 27" last week.
I tried to transfer data (musdic & photos) via Thunderbolt, but i did not run, my system always
tries to transfer data via WLAN, but that would last more than 80 hours.
I tried to get some help from the Apple Support, but unfortunately they couldn't help me.
A promised call-back from the next higher support-level has not been done.
Does anybody know what the problem might be.
The Thunderbolt-cable is brand new.Instead of using Migration Assistant, the best way is to use the Target Disk Mode, so you will save headaches (Migration Assistant creates a new user with the transferred data).
To do this, just connect both Macs with the Thunderbolt cable, and then, start the MacBook Pro holding the T key, so a Thunderbolt or FireWire icon should appear on the display. After that, go to the iMac, open Finder, and the hard drive of the MacBook Pro will appear on the Finder sidebar as an external drive, under "Devices". Just access to it, go to the folders with your iTunes and iPhoto libraries, and copy them to the iMac -
I have just updated my iphone to iso 7.0.2 on my wifes i tunes on her computer,now when i send a message to people they get my email address come up and when i need to update apps it asks for her apple id... any help please????
ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

ICLOUD!! APPLE SUPPORT I NEED HELP!
If you forgotten your password and try to reset it by email. but on the badside the email that they use to create it was already recycled by yahoo and you don't know the secret questions . what do you do?
My IMEI is ****
I already tried every method that I can think of I also tried the ones that was in the blogs
<Edited By Host>Start with this support document and contact Apple for assistance. Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
This is a user to user support forum, you are not addressing Apple here. I've also asked the hosts to edit your IMEI from an international public forum. Dangerous thing to do. -
Question: How can I contact Apple Support for help without the Ipad serial number?
You can't restart or reset the device?
