Buying MacBook air from uk

Hi!
I am from lomdon. I am planning to get a MacBook air from USA as my colleague has gone there on holiday.
Now my question is can he claim the sales tax back at Raheigh airport for this?

You'd have to pay Raleigh, NC sales tax at time of purchase and then most likely a duty/import tax when you cleared customs at your final destination. Although when I use to frequently travel back and forth between the UK and USA the phrase, "it was a gift from a family member" was uttered more at the counter than, "May I see your passport."

  • HT5622 I want to buy Macbook air 13" (13-inch :128GB) from Malaysia

    I want to buy Macbook air 13" (13-inch :128GB) from Malaysia, it's price is mentioned as RM 3,299.00. Is there vat included or excluded? As a bangladeshi, what are the terms and conditions? Shall I need to pay any vat/tax during purchase except the price?

    Check the Malaysian Apple store help pages (http://store.apple.com/my/help/payments) or call them directly (http://store.apple.com/my/help/contact).

  • I'm buying a MacBook Air from a retail store tomorrow, will I be able to get it with the RAM upgraded?

    I'm planning on buying a new MacBook Air from an Apple retail store tomorrow and wanted to check on what the policy is with getting a non-standard configuration.
    I'd like to get it with 8GB of RAM, do I need to call first, or reserve it or anything?

    If you are planning to stop by at a U.S. Apple Store, an alternate approach would be to buy (and pay for) the MacBook Air online, configured as you would like it.  One of the options available to you will be to pick it up at a specific Apple Store.  Then you could see the date it would be available for you to receive it.

    I need to buy Macbook Air with MS W7 Pro. How?

    If all you need is Office then you dont need Windows 7 as there is already a version of Office which will run on a Mac. Its called Office 2011.
    You can get it from the mac store or anywhere else that sells office

  • Use of 802.11 ac wifi with my MacBook Air from end of 2010

    Is it possible to upgrade my MacBook Air (from end of 2010) with an adapter for 802.11 ac? I want to use it with a new AirPort Time Capsule.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your AirPort card does not allow you to use 802.11ac. However, you can buy a Wi-Fi adapter that supports 802.11ac, so you can connect to your new AirPort Time Capsule through 802.11ac.
    Note that this is not necessary, and that most users will not note any difference between 802.11ac and 802.11n, which is the connection that your Mac will use to connect to your AirPort Time Capsule through the internal AirPort. Also, note that you will need a driver for the Wi-Fi adapter

  • Upgrade Hard disk on a macbook air from 80g to 120g

    I'm trying to upgrade my hard drive disk on a macbook air from the original 80g to the new 120g, does some one knows were can I find and buy the 120G HDD?

    Hi Andres,
    there is a problem if you mean the 120 GB HDD from Rev. B - your MBA uses the PATA-interface, the new one the SATA-interface.
    In one sentence: The 120 GB from Rev B. will NOT fit your Rev A.

  • Can I upgrade the ram memory of my Macbook air from 4gb to 8gb?

    Anybody knows if I can upgrade the ram memory of a Macbook Air from 4gb to 8gb?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The memory in the MacBook Air is soldered onto the logic board, so you can't upgrade RAM after buying your computer. It's important to buy your MacBook Air with the amount of memory you will use because you won't be able to install more RAM

Now I would like to ask, because I'm not native german speaker and I feel a lot more comfortable with english language if it's possible to change language of operating system and all applications to english and what steps do I need to do to achive it? Do I need to reinstall operating system and buy one with english or just change it in settings?
    Thanks in advance

  • Buying Macbook Air used

    Situation: Buying Macbook Air used that was purchased in Nov 2012
    I would like to purchase this macbook and add Applecare.
    1. What do I need from the seller? (receipts, etc...)
    2. What do I need to watch out for?

    You need proof that the seller is the rightful owner. Check that the name on the receipt matches his photo ID, and the serial number matches the receipt.
    You also need reasonable evidence that the machine is in working order. Inspect carefully for damage. Run the Apple Hardware Test (extended version.) Even if it passes, you're still taking a risk. It's still under warranty, but damage, such as liquid spills, won't be covered.

  • I purchased a macbook air from someone on craigslist, and when i try to download iPhoto, it tells me that these apps were already designated to another apple id.

    I purchased a macbook air from someone on craigslist, and when i try to download iPhoto, it tells me that these apps were already designated to another apple id. any way to reset the app store from thinking it's still alligned with him? Lion was reset already, but this isn't. If i download on my mac mini, will i then be able to retrieve the download on my air?

    Hi...
    On the MBAir drag the iPhoto app to the Trash, empty the Trash.
    Then try purchasing and downloading iPhoto.
    You can re download iPhoto on all your authorized Macs. To authorize the MBAir, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store > Authorize This Mac. You will be prompted for your Apple ID and password.
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

    If you didn't purchase the extended warranty, AppleCare, you are not entitled to any repairs free of charge once the 1 year warranty expires.
