It was all said in the 2nd post. Buy it from the apple store. lol. Dont need to get into a long discussion about it guys
Yet in the 3rd post the OP asked a question not covered by the 2nd post and discussed in subsequent posts... Maybe instead of overlooking the details of the conversation and posting unsolicited "advice" to the rest of us, you should post something useful to the OP.

Can I buy iPad air in japan for use in Indonesia?

Can I buy an iPad air in japan for use in Indonesia?

The forums are littered with people asking similar questions but the answer is always that you should not consider only the technical implications of doing so.
Will it work? Probably, but you may not be able to take full advantage of the LTE connectivity because the LTE frequencies differ by both country and operator. The iPad would default back to 3G speeds. Secondly, an iPad Air bought in Japan is warranted ONLY in Japan. If something goes wrong, you will need to physically get it back there for service or replacement under warranty.
It's very likely worth waiting (if it's not yet available) or spending the extra money to buy it in Indonesia but the choice is ultimately yours.

Buying ipad from usa to use in australia

buying ipad from usa and using in australia.can you do it and what do you need for it to work.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Yes you can do it, and if you search, upper right corner this has been discussed recently.
The iPad is compatible in both countries...charger handles 100-240 volts at 50-60 Hertz...just need the proper plug piece or converter. That should be easy enough, the plug piece slides off horizontally and the proper one for the country slides on...same piece for all iDevice chargers.
Service plans you need to check into.

No. All GSM iPhones require a valid sim be in the phone in order to activate. Until you get a valid sim, all you'll be able to do is look at it & make emergency calls.

IPhone 4s charger with Japan plug used in Australia

Hi, first time question.
Two years ago I bought an iPhone 4S (black) in Australia with an Australian plug for my partner.
Last week I purchased an iPhone 4S (white) from an Australian supplier on Ebay Australia. The phone arrived and (somewhat unsurprisingly) it had a foreign charger plug. It's Japanese. The seller provided an AU electricity adapter so I assumed no problems.
When used with the newer iPhone, it appears to work fine. However, when used with the older (AU purchased) iPhone, I see some strange things happen when I open the Google app whilst the phone is still plugged into the charger and charging is in progress. The iPhone (or something) randomly clicks on letters and/or sometimes activates/presses the Video button on the Google app and/or activates the camera button from the iPhone keyboard that pops up once a letter has been typed in the Search field. There doesn't appear any rhyme or reason; it just appears to be random. But it only seems to be happening with the older AU-purchased iPhone and not on the newer phone that the Japanese plug came with.
I'm baffled as to why. And should I be concerned? I went and bought a local iPhone charger from the Apple store as I was sick of it happening.
I have tested it several times and the occurrence keeps repeating. Is this a known problem? I tried to find info online but could not find anything similar to my problem.
Any info/thoughts appreciated.

Sorry for the slight wild goose chase on the above, but I have actually worked out that it is a US model, MD260LL/A, not a Japanese model.

Can I buy iPhone in China and use it on Russia?

If it is unlocked and uses the same protocol (GSM or CDMA) and
frequencies as the Russian carrier you intend to use.
Warranty is not international - iPhone will have to be returned
to China for service or replacement. Buy one locally from an
authorized source to avoid future problems.

T-Mobile (US) iPhone 6 Plus for Use in Spain

Hello,
I am thinking about buying a T-Mobile iPhone 6 Plus from the US to eventually unlock and use in Spain (on Movistar). Does anyone know if this version of the phone will be able to access 4G in Spain? I know that 3G won't be a problem (I have an unlocked iPhone 5 bought from the Apple Store in the US that accesses up to 3G here in Spain, but cannot access 4G - and yes, I know for a fact that there is 4G as my Android accesses it no problem), but what about 4G?
I've looked at the LTE specs page, but I'm a bit confused as almost all the same bands are listed for the two devices (the one for T-Mobile US and the one for Movistar Spain)
Thanks a lot!

He is correct
Ironically the Sprint or US Cellular version will work - BUT I doubt that you can get that version unlocked - on the other hand if you want to use it in Spain I would consider buying the A 1524 / A 1526 model

Buy Iphone in USA and use it in Europe

Hello,
I would like to know if I buy an Iphone in USA, If we can use it in Europe, with another carrier and network?
I will soon go to the states and I would like to make a gift to my sister.
Thanks in advance for your answers :-)

So the US Apple store appears to operate differently from the UK store (where I've just bought 2 new iPhones unlocked and taken SIM only contracts with 2 different service providers). I'm sorry if I've caused any confusion.
To be clear, you need to find somewhere you can get an unlocked phone to be able to bring it back to Europe and use it.

I'm buying a new computer for use with Creative Cloud. Are there any advantages to PC vs Mac?

I'm replacing a seven year old Dell that still works but is getting rather long in the tooth. I have CS4 web design. (For PC)
I have a Macbook Pro (so I'm familar with Mac OS)
I'm upgrading my computer to mainly use the Creative Cloud.
Are there any advantages (related to Creative Cloud) to buying a Mac or a PC?
I just don;t wan't to a Mac and then find that many features don;t work that are on the PC (or vice versa)
Or is one interface easier to use than another?
Thanks in advance for any help.

It usually boils down to personal preference.
The software is, to all intents and purposes, the same in either operating system. There are minor differences between them, usually related to the hardware or the operating system. But if you can use the software in Windows, you'll be able to use it on a Mac too.
It's a matter of which environment you prefer: Windows or Mac. I use both daily since the Cloud allows you to install on Windows and/or Mac.

Possible to unlock iphone from Japan and use in US?

I have iphone 4S from Japan. It is locked to Softbank company in Japan. Is it possible to unlock it and use it in US? Now, I am in NY. Anyone think Apple support service in NY can help me?

No one from Apple can help you at all. Only the Carrier can unlock your device. You will have to contact Softbank directly.
Sorry,

Power Extension Cord for G4 for use in Australia

I have the great extension cable for my G4 use in US. The extra 5-6 feet is great...I need it. I am off to Australia soon and I want the same cable except for the Australian power requirements (end).
I have been to both Apple's US and Australian site...not a trace of that cord. I searched for power cable, power cord, extension cord, battery charger...HAS Apple stopped selling them or what sort of ingenious terms does one use to find this cord?
Help...asap.
Thanks, --bill

If the computer end is rectangular (with a couple of bevelled corners), then it is a world standard, and you will have no trouble finding power cables in Australia. If it is a special connector (as on new iMacs), just cut the plug off the US cable and install an Australian plug. Be careful about the color codes of the wires, though, as you could electrocute yourself if you get it wrong.

IPhone control adapter for use with existing control adapter

There are many adapters that work to give standard headphones control over the iPhone by adding a mic, 'centre click' button and volume controls.
I have tried two of them today (iLuv and Phillips), and while they both worked nicely, using them with my standard 3GS earbuds disabled the stock microphone and controls.
I basically need a way to separate the control button(s) and the microphone so I can operate the phone from my motorcycle helmet - putting the stock microphone in the helmet (which works well by the way), but still having a way to answer calls.

I don't know if I saw this correctly or not, but is there an adapter I can get to hook up the newer cinema display to my power mac machine?
No.
I thought I saw a mini port to DVI or VGA adapter?
That's to connect a DVI or VGA display to a Mini DisplayPort equipped computer.
