Australia and MMS idiocy...

So am I the only one that finds the MMS on/off setting utterly spannered?
When I first got my iPhone 4 I turned it off, as I didn't want every message I sent wanting to cost me (provider Virgin Mobile here has unlimited free SMS). Occasionally I switch it on, send an MMS, then turn it back off.
Which then means I can't receive any replies to the original message. Unless of course the recipient is a tight-arse like me and replies with an SMS...
I've also noticed that MMSs can take anything up to 2 days to reach their destination. This happens on my 4, my wifes 3GS on Telstra, and regardless of whether or not i'm sending to another iPhone or a different brand.
Admittedly this could be because the kangaroo has to hop from one transmitter to another, but it's still a pain.

I sometime get MMS messages a long time after they've been sent, but I am in the US with AT&T. I'm not sure how the plans work in Australia, but here the MMS is included in the unlimited SMS plans.

Mid Year Go Live-Australia and New Zealand

Hi,
We are implementing Mid Year Go Live for payroll for Australia and New Zealand.
In case of India, we have schema INLK and list of technical wage types that need to be uploaded to T558B and T558C.
SAP has delivered a note for Payroll India which gives the list of Technical wage types.
Pls suggest what are the technical wage types to be uploaded for Australia and New Zealand and the schema to be used for Mid Year Go Live.
Regards
Yashika

Hi,
as far as i know, there is no such schema or special wage types except the ones that are used for LSMW before go live.
In india, they might need the schema or technical wagetypes for the taxation purposes i guess which is different from AU or NZ.
but australia/newzealand have simplified the taxation for software provides.

Hello everyone: I am going to buy a new ipad in Australia and after that I am going back to China. I am just wondering if I can use it in China without any problem? Do I have to unlock or something like that?

I live in Australia and I am trying to buy an album by SNSD but it is not available on the Australian iTunes. All of their other albums are. Why is this and is there a way I can buy it off the American store?

I live in Australia and I am trying to buy an album by SNSD, a Kpop group. It is not available on the Australian iTunes. All of their other albums are.
Why is this and is there a way I can buy it off the American store? (The album is called The Boys)

Well how much does the album cost? Because I have an issue with this except I live in America and I wish to purchase something from the Australian store... perhaps I can gift you your album and you could gift me my album.

Can I use the same app store AppleID on two iMac computers one in Australia and one in Thailand, for purchasing upgrades

I have two iMAC computers, one at home in Sydney Australia and one in Korat Thailand.
I want to software updates through my Sydney AppleID.
When an attempt was made to update OSX the server rejected the attempt in Thailand

Sure - as long as you use the same apple ID on both devices you can download it to both devices. Why is is greyed out on her iPad is not clear to me - other than the app is actually on her iPad via Automatic Downloads and she doesn't realize that its on the device. Is that possible?
Search for the app on her iPad- swipe to the right from the first home screen and type in the name of the App at the top in the search field. Does it show up?

I have an ipad that I purchased in Australia and my iTunes account is Australian, but when I try and watch Australian TV shows on Australian websites it says that the content is not available because I am not in Australia.

Please help! I have an ipad that I purchased in Australia and my iTunes account is Australian, but when I try and watch Australian TV shows on Australian websites it says that the content is not available because I am not in Australia. How can I fix this?

Are you using a proxy server to access the net?
Or another cause could be that your router thinks it's in its home country (probably china)
I just don't know how to fix it. There's a way but I don't know enough to advise.
You could try googling your router model and 'wrong country' or keywords like that and see if something comes up.

I have an iPhone 4s, and I reset the content and setting. It turned on, I chose English, Australia, and now, I am unable to connect/activate my iPhone through Wi-Fi, and for an unknown reason, it will not allow me to use cellular data or iTunes.

In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi.

IBooks from Australia and the USA - how can I see all of my collection on my MacBook Pro?

G'day,
I am Australian. I began using iBooks in Australia by purchasing books through the Apple store in Australia on my iPhone.
In those days I had a PC running windows, and used to sync my iPhone on iTunes in Windows 7.
Later, I moved to Illinois in the USA. I also changed from using a PC to using an Apple MacBook Pro.
So these days I sync my iPhone with my MacBook.
I now have a mixture of books on my iPhone. Some purchased from the Apple Store in Australia, and some purchased from the Apple Store in the USA.
I can see and read ALL of my books on my iPhone.
But I can only see and read the 5 books I purchased since living in the USA on my MacBook Pro.
My login and password are exactly the same for the Australian Store, for the USA Store and for iCloud.
How can I see and read ALL my books on my MacBook Pro here in Illinois?
My iPhone is running iOS version 8.1.2
My MacBook is running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1

Thanks for your prompt response King_Penguin.
I carried out your suggestions.
A strange thing resulted.
Just one (1) of my 34 books on my iPhone now appears in the iTunes list of books on my Mac, and subsequently was moved to iBooks on the MacBook Pro.
This happens to be the book I am currently reading. So at least I can get on with reading on either device.
But I am mystified why only one book was copied across.
Thanks again for your help.

I want to buy a Beats Remotetalk replacement cable. I am in Australia and Apple Aus store does not them but the US store does - but doesn't ship to Aus. I can no longer buy from Beats as it redirects to Apple. How do I buy an authentic replacement?

I am in Australia and I want to buy a replacement RemoteTalk cable for my Beats headphones.
previously I could buy these from the Beats store and have them shipped to Australia. Now I can only buy them from the Apple Store.
However, they are only stocked on the Apple US store and not on the Apple Aus store.
The Apple US store does not ship to Australia.
So how do I get an authentic replacement cable?

Try amazon:

What are the settings for apn data and mms for iphone 4 on straight talk?

what are the settings for cellular data network APN DATA and MMS for Straighttalk sims on IPhone 4?I cant send or recieve pictures.My service keeps losin signal constantly saying no service then 1 bar,2 bars,3 bars...then back down to no service.It drops calls.Iv been trying to find out the answer to this problem for 2 weeks!I have no Profile selection in my settings either to do wat its showing online on one website.and have entered numerous diffrent APNs and none have worked!!!!PLEASE HELP!!!

They're asking a question about carrier settings for their iPhone. I think that has everything to do with Apple.
Maybe they did already ask Straight Talk. I've called Straight Talk before... they're not too helpful.
You know, this forum would be much friendlier if people in this forum would quit squabbling, & posting comedic replies, not too mention name calling (like I did), when people are just needing some help.
It's also frustrating that people stick up for the guy who doesn't help, but rather takes the time to post some smart alec reply. Granted, I shouldn't have name-called... some people just frustrate me when they act like that.
Admittedly, there ARE some grey areas when it comes to carrier questions... but let the moderators do their job when someone is asking innappropriate stuff. And if the mods aren't chiming in, then that's a good indication that what the thread is about IS in fact Apple related.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I recently moved to Australia and received a new iphone with a local AUS number. I have a backup of my US iphone in the icloud. Question: when I activate my new AUS iphone which option should I choose - new phone or restore from backup?

I recently moved to Australia and received a new iphone with a local AUS number. I have a backup of my US iphone in the icloud. Question: when I activate my new AUS iphone which option should I choose - new phone or restore from backup? I would like to have all my contacts, email, etc. however wasn't sure that option was appropriate since it is a different/new number and a new phone.

Yes, as new iPhone then restore from backup.
