Apple TV from Europe to USA?

About a year ago I purchased an Apple TV here in Belgium.  I am now relocating back to the USA.  Can I simply bring this Apple TV with me to the USA or is it only good in Belgium?  I have a couple months before I move permanently, but would like to know (if possible) this week as I am returning from Belgium to the USA and could bring this unit back with me and give it a try if it is OK to do that license and hardware-wise.
Thanks for any comments!
Best regards,

    Hi.  I will be happy to answer your question regarding making a call using a Wifi connection.  There is no application that comes with the phone that will allow you to do so.  All calls can only be made through our 3G network.   You can also check the application market on your phone to see if you see an application that fits your needs.
    Please let me know if you have any other questions.
    Thanks!

  • IMac voltage from Europe to USA

    Can I use the iMac I bought in holland about four years ago in America? I had it shipped over here but am unsure if it will work. Do I need a step up transformer or any other accessory to make it work or do I have to get a new iMac? If so, any advice as to where to buy these things would be very much appreciated. I also noticed some peopletalking about an issue with frequency (from 50hz to 60hz in the states. Is this also an issue?
    Thanks a lot.

    You're very welcome. The Apple Store answer sounds confusing to me. The Apple website says any voltage between 100-240 is OK. Why would they say it wouldn't work for long with a transformer if the website implies no transformer needed? The internal power supply handles that. Even if it was a US iMac headed to Europe it seems it would transform internally. I'm not asking you to answer but just thinking out loud. We lived in Japan (100V) with no problems taking Macs over there.  Devices without the auto sensing/variable power supplies were problems. If you plug a Japanese hair dryer which expects only 100V into a US outlet (plug prongs are the same, w/o 3rd ground prong) at 110-120V it would run ~11% hotter and faster and wear out sooner, but if you plug a US hair dryer (which expects 110-120) into a Japanese outlet which only supplies 110V it runs that much cooler temp and slower fan speed. Lasts longer but doesn't dry as fast. I imagine if you plugged a US dryer into an 220-240V European outlet (but you can't directly b/c plug prongs don't match) it would fry pretty quickly. Do you know any military folks you could ask?

  • Calling Apple Care from Europe

    I am in Italy and my unlocked iPhone 4S will not accept a Vodafone SIM card.  I get a message that reads "SIM Not Valid" and I should contact Apple.  I cannot call an 800 number from Italy.  Is there another phone number?

    I had my pnone unlocked when I was in USA.  I called Verizon yesterday and they confirmed they unlocked my phone.  They also spent an hour trying to help me.  They thought my SIM card was bad so I got a replacement card at the store I bought the first card and it still failed.  The 800 915 904 works but it is in Italian.
    Thanks for trying to help

  • Ibook from Europe VS. ibook from USA

    Hi there!! I was wondering if there is a difference from and ibook coming from europe and one's here in the usa? I'm asking because I was looking on ebay and there is an ibook for a good price that I was thinking of purchasing but its coming from Europe.

    As said, the difference is the power cable and/or plug.
    There's a standard connector fitting for the adapter. Both my iBooks came with a "travel" plug as well as a longer cable that fits into the connector.
    Earlier versions of the US cable were only 2 prong. The latest versions of the adapter have a metal peg that appears to be connected to the neutral wire in the extension cable. The cable that comes with them is 3 prong. Then there's a smaller fitting with a two-prong plug that's closed to put away, or opens and locks extended. It's a bit annoying that it's not in any locked position closed, and make jiggling sounds.
    You might be able to find just the plug. There are also aftermarket adapters on the market.
    The "Apple World Travel Adapter Kit" is supposed to come with a North American plug. The comlete adapter comes with the North American plug and cable.

  • How to submit my iphoto keepsake book order from Europe & receive it in USA

    Does anyone know if I could submit my iphoto book order from europe and receive the printed books in USA?
    Does anyone know if I try to submit my iphoto book order from Ireland with my macbook and my apple ID created in USA, to which countries Apple would allow me to receive the finished books?
    So far, I do know that if I try to submit my iphoto book order from California, the only shipping addresses that I could enter must be either in USA or Canada.

    HI,
    You would need to contact Apple for that type of information.

  • Safari Google giving me results from Europe more than USA

    I have notice in the past few weeks that when I google from Safari that most of my results are coming from europe and canada and just a few are from the USA some do not even use the roman alphabet.
    How do I fix this?
    Leon

    Hi Leon
    are you accessing google from the built-in google search within Safari - or going to a google page & then entering your search terms?
    either way - I guess you're using google.com? ( check the url or the results page )
    At the top of the results page - to the right of the 'search' button..... you should see a "preferences" link - click that & see if any of the options are set differently to how you'd like ( you can exclude pages not in English, for example ) . Save those prefs & try google again.
    If you still have no joy - use Safari-Preferences-Security-Show Cookies & find/remove any that relate to google. Then click 'Done' & close the preferences. Did that get your results back to 'normal'?

  • Can I use an iPhone or iPad in USA bought from Europe?

    I consider buying an iPhone and iPad from Europe. My problem is that I am going to study in the USA this year and I am not sure if the iPhone and the iPad will work outside my country.

    Yes, they will work fine. But note, you have to get your iPhone unlocked by your carrier/provider beforehand.
    The GSM networks in the USA:
    T-mobile... depending on where you are, will depend on how good it is.
    At&t- reliable, but expensive
    Straight Talk is the best prepaid option available.

  • Can I use Apple store from a country other than the country I live in.  Example:  I live in USA and want to use Apple store in Thailand to buy and download thai content.

    Can I use Apple store from a country other than the country I live in.  Example:  I live in USA and want to use Apple store in Thailand to buy and download thai content.

    No, you can only buy content from your own country's store - to be able to buy form another store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that the content that you want be added to the US store, but ultimately it's the content providers (record companies, film studios etc) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Apple TV from US to use in Denmark

    What do I physically need to use an Apple TV from United Stated? I live in Denmark, Europe.. Is it enough with a tiny converter??

    I am living in Switzerland using an Apple TV and it works great.
    *To sync with iTunes and your Mac* - power plug adapter (I don't think you need a converter but check the power requirements range 110 - 260 volts), HD TV with HDMI input or DVI input or Component input. The appropriate cables for your connection (HDMI to HDMI etc.). WiFi or wired LAN.
    *To rent movies from the USA* - an iTunes account with a USA credit card and billing address.
    Good luck.

  • Publishing an iBook from Europe?

    Pretty much stunned by the possibilities of iBook Author and couldn't wait to write my own interactive book. I started writing and halfway through I decided to see how the proces of publishing would go. Now it seems like it is only available to people living in the USA? I know that I can get a taxnumber from the IRS being an European resident, just as I would have no problem getting an ISBN number. In the country I live in, we have iBooks on the iTunes store and the iBook Author app on the appstore, so it's odd that it seems impossible to publish a book. (It's a paid book by the way).
    Is there a way to publish a paid iBook 2 from Europe? Thanks!
    They made this process look a lot easier in their movies..

    Maybe this answer some questions (8th point about US tax ID) http://www.apple.com/itunes/content-providers/book-faq.html

  • The lack of  Apple Service in Europe

    Last april I bought a MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz during my stay in the US. I always preferred the us keyboard layouts, and since Apple claims to give a worldwide warranty I thought it would be no problem.
    The first MacBook Pro had a dead pixel. To me that's unacceptable, so I went back to the shop. They didn't want to replace it, and said they also couldn't repair it under warranty. After making all sorts of trouble I finally got a new one. I was happy - for a short while.
    But soon after that, I noticed how bloody hot the thing got and experienced the annoying cpu whine. For a 'professional' product, this is totally unacceptable. If I would have been informed about these flaws before I bought it, obviously I would have taken my business somewhere else. So back in the Netherlands I went to the local Apple Center. They tried repairing it twice, replacing the logic board. This didn't help at all. Then they refused to help any further as they said there was no official solution from Apple for these problems, so I contaced Apple Europe. They were willing to replace the machine. It's impossible for them to pick up the old one and bring the new one at the same time, so you don't have a laptop for 10-15 days. Thanks Apple. In Europe, they also cannot give you a version with a us keyboard layout. Worldwide warranty will result in basically a different product. Which is interesting, since the MacBook Pro was shipped directly from China (so I bet the one made before and after mine have us keyboards). We discussed the layout and it seemed to be similar to the us version, but on receiving the new one it turns out it is different.
    So much for Apple Worldwide Warranty.
    Anyway the new version has exactly the same problems. It actually got worse, because they gave me 1 GB RAM instead of the 1.5 I had before, and now I have a keyboard that *****. I contacted Fernand Kuijken from Apple Europe in Ireland, and he said I should have it repaired in the Apple Center I went to before. I told him that they refuse to repair it, so he said I should just go to another one and drive a bit further. No solution for the keyboard was given, nor any explanation why I have less RAM than we agreed. In essence, Apple stole 512 MB of RAM, and gave me a crappy machine that overheats, whines, and has a terrible keyboard.
    I told him this was unacceptable, and that I demanded a refund. I have had 5 versions of the MacBook Pro and none of them works properly. Apparantly, Apple can't make a decent MacBook Pro. Mr Kuijken claimed that normally that's no problem, but since I bought it in the US I would have to go back there to get my money back! Well that's realistic. Worldwide warranty? I think not! After I told him that according to the worldwide warranty the consumer rights of the Netherlands apply, which basically means after three times I have the right to demand my money back, he literally said "i advise you to start a lawsuit". If this is the attitude of Apple worldwide then that is insane. If they cannot fix a product or replace it with a decent one, they have no right to leave the customer in the cold like that.
    Apparantly Apple is trying to just keep repairing and replacing the product until you are out of warranty? This is my first experience with Apple, and a very dissappointing one. I though Apple meant quality and service, but it means crappy products that shouldn't really be on the market yet, and lousy customer service.
    I was wondering how many others have had problems with the "Apple Service" in Europe? When it comes to refunds, do they always have this insane attitude?
    MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Well that's a bit silly isn't it?
    First of all, the fact it doesn't bother you doesn't mean it doesn't bother others.
    Second, most customers expect a bit more from a 'professional' product of over 2000 euros than from a product of half that amount. If I'd buy a laptop of 800 euros that runs a bit hot, you won't hear me complaining.
    Third, maybe you use your machine a bit different than others. For my work, both cores are often running at full pace, making the thing uncomfortably hot. I obviously can't use it on my lap, and always working with sweaty hands is also not what I had in mind when I bought the thing. And the whine make it useless doing creative work like writing in a silent environment, certainly because of the fact it constantly interrupts and goes on and is not very constant. Furthermore, it makes it useless for sound recording.
    Fourth, selling it is a stupid idea. I'd have to sell it at a loss, while I am entitled to a decent product, or a full refund if a decent product is not possible.
    So if you have a proper solution I'd love to hear it, otherwise your input is quite useless.
