Buying tv programs in New Zealand

Is there any way to buy U.K. Televisions programs in the iTunes Store while in New Zealand?

I understant that a specific TV maker (provider) might restrict content e.g ABC, Fox but for all providers to block content suprises me, in the free market place (laughs out loud)..
I can understand if Game of Thrones is blocked for release, as it is in Australia because FoxTel has purchased the rights to release the series before it would appear on iTunes.
(clearly I will never purchase FoxTel!)
But for Apple to restrict a whole market from iTunes seems strange to me when for all purposes NZ is a mini Australia that would thrive on TV series

Any update on when we will be able to buy tv series in new zealand through itunes ?

Hi All,
Has anyone got any updates on when New Zealand will be able to buy TV series through itunes?

I used to use FileMaker back in the day... when web publishing was primitive at best.
Do you know whether there is a publicly viewable demo site online that a volunteer could use to examine this problem? I suspect it might be hard for you to provide enough detail just with text. Or perhaps you can post a screen recording illustrating the problem.

It's just a question of when/if the copyright owner will make that material available through iTunes NZ - so no real answer to be found here.

HT3069 Does this table mean that I cannot buy MLB.TV in New Zealand?

The table shown on the Apple TV of countries in which content is available says that NZ can only rent movies, not buy movies and not buy TV shows. I had hoped to purchase MLB.TV (if my bandwidth is high enough). Does this table mean that MLB.TV is not available in NZ?

This response was little help to me. The MLB logo shows up in the default menu of the Apple TV device. That says to me that Apple and MLB are working together to offer the service, but there are no indications on the screen as to what is available in each jurisdiction.
In the end I found that I was able to buy the MLB broadcast (if that is the right word) through the menu on the Apple TV. The very poor display of the Apple TV network test left me no clearer as to whether or not I would have sufficient bandwidth. I decided to purchase one month of MLB to try it out and ended up paying a bit over $30 for the month rather than $24, and it came up as a RECURRING charge! The display of the game was reasonable (not great), and there were a few times it stalled, but generally it was all right.
I have also created a task in my Outlook to cancel the subscription before the 30 days expires.
If I decide that I want the season I'll try to find a way to buy the season through MLB at $99 rather than 12 times $30!

I have created an album in iphoto but can't buy it because I still use iphoto 08 (version 7.0). If I upgrade to version 7.0, can I print my album in New Zealand or Australia?

I have created an album in iphoto but can't buy it because I still use iphoto 08 (version 7.0). If I upgrade to version 8.0 which is iphoto 09 can I print my album in New Zealand?

Yes -- http://store.apple.com/us/help/print_products/routing
but to upgrade you will need to purchase an iLife DVD from ebay or Amazon or other source - older versions of iPhoto are not available from the App Store - either iLife '09 or '11 will work on 10.6.8
beware that sometimes books (albums are logical organzational elements in iPhoto) sometimes will change with upgrades so you may need to make some changes after upgrading - be sure to carefully preview prior to ordering the book

If I buy an iphone from the hong kong site to use in new zealand, will it come unlocked and can i use it in new zealand on a nz service provider?

If I buy an iphone from the hong kong site to use in new zealand, will it come unlocked and can i use it in new zealand on a nz service provider?

If you purchase an unlocked iPhone it will work on any supported gsm network.
Just FYI, apple will not ship outside the country in which the device is purchased. A device purchased in the Hong Kong website must have a shipping and billing address in Hong Kong.
Also, warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.

Buying American TV series in New Zealand?

I would like to buy American TV series, but I'm in New Zealand, and it doesn't seem to work. I try on the American iTunes store, but it tells me to go to the NZ store, and there doesn't seem to be any for sale there.
Would getting Apple TV work?

You can't buy content from a different country's iTunes Store.

If i buy an iPhone 5s from the United States will the iPhones warranty be honoured in New Zealand?

If i buy an iPhone 5s from the United States will the iPhones warranty be honoured in New Zealand?

Warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
Purchase the device in the country where it is intended to be used.
Also, be aware that there is no gurantee that an iPhone from the US will work on LTE anywhere else in the world.

IMac buy back program? Ideas? Just got a i7 2010 in January... And now the new ones have thunderbolt and 3.4 ghzs

As stated, I got an i7 2010 model in january, and the new iMacs just came out. Is there some kind of buy back program with apple? If not :/ . Anybody have ideas? (I also noticed the new maxed out is cheaper than the 2010s). Thanks everyone!

There's no buy back programme I've ever heard of.
The i7 you've got is still a pretty potent machine - does it do everything you want or do you need something that the new iMac's offer.
If you really want to replace it with one from the new range I reckon your best bet would be eBay. iMac's have a good resale value. Have a look here (UK site): http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=p4712.m570.l1311&_nkw=imac+27&_sacat=S ee-All-Categories

If I buy a MacBook pro in the USA would it still work in new zealand?

I was thinking of buying a MacBook pro in Los Angeles and was wondering if it would work in new Zealand where I live?

Yes, it will work in EnZed. You would need either a different power cord or a wall outlet adaptor to work with your wall outlets.
And, you'll have to get used to it speaking with an accent.

International Warranty in New Zealand is a joke

My Thinkpad Yoga died in early June and I have to send it in for repair.
So far I have waited 2+ months and spent countless HOURS on the phone to your call center for my laptop to be repaired and returned.
I have been told all different sorts of stories of why there are so many delays
- Parts not available (2+ week wait for each part, first I have been told harddrive is dead, then the motherboard, for each one of these that's a separate wait)
- Recovery disc not avaialble at service center (I consider this to be the biggest joke)
- Case escalated for a brand new replacement because of unavailable parts, more wait for replacement to be approved
- Replacement approved, waiting accounts to approve (?!?!?!what the hell????)
- Waiting escalation specialist to contact me and grab my shipping details in New Zealand (apparently the escalation team has been overloaded with requests so I am told to expect a 1 week delay again for them to contact me, so far it's been more than 2 weeks)
I just got off the phone with a call center rep and have been told he will contact me in 1-2 hours since he has to get more information (he flatout denied that my replacement has been approved at all so I dont know what's going on there anymore)
Moral of the story, avoid buying a Lenovo if you want service in Australiasia region. At this stage I just want my 1k+ machine back as it's been at the service center for more than 2 months now and by the time I recieve it (if I recieve it) there is not much warranty left.

ZYO,
Wow - not a good story.
We'll try to arrange some help for you but will need some details to enable the escalation. Would you send me a private message with your contact information - name, best phone to reach you, and the type and serial number of the system? If you have any of the service case numbers handy, that will help as well.
Apologies for the trouble so far!
Best regards,
Mark

New Zealand PowerMac Purchase

Hello; I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask these questions - I looked around and this seemed the best place to post.
I am calling out to Apple to do something about the situation in New Zealand. Renaissance - the supplier for the Asia/Pacific region are absolutely hopeless.
I am feeling rather frustrated. Now I haven't had a good history with Apple hardware - ie; I've had to take in my laptop many times for repairs. My first laptop went into shop about 5 or 6 times before Apple replaced it with another (for a big discount); this one has gone into shop twice already in its first 9 months of operation; Granted, I use this machine a lot for programming and development, but my respect for Apple hardware isn't too high. (I've also had to take my new 23" panel in as the power supply developed a fault - and its only 6 months old).
Anyway, with this statement, I'm thinking of buying a new PowerMac. I think the new quad looks pretty hot- and possibly it will be a lot more robust than a laptop.
So... I was spec-ing one up on the apple.com shop - here take a look:
2.5GHz Quad-core PowerPC G5
512MB 533 DDR2 Non ECC SDRAM- 2x256
500GB Serial ATA - 7200rpm
NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT 256 MB SDRAM
AirPort Extreme + Bluetooth built-in
16x SuperDrive DL (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Apple Keyboard & Mighty Mouse - U.S English
Mac OS X - U.S. English
Accessory kit
AppleCare Protection Plan for Power Mac (w/or w/o Display) - Auto-enroll
The price: US$4,297.00 (without tax)
The time: 5-7 business days
Great - this looks sweet... until you realise that I live in New Zealand.
The same spec'd machine is as follows:
The Price: NZ$7129.00 = US$5079.00 (without tax)
The Time: 8 Weeks
I just don't get it. Basically, it is cheaper by nearly $800USD - thats nearly price for a trip to the USA (or Japan, slightly more expensive, but more interesting since my GF lives there) to pick a machine up, which would be like 8 times faster than waiting until February.....
My main question is basically, why is this the situation for New Zealand. My initial guess (and what the shops have told me) is that Renaissance is very slow.
My other question is, why are machines such as this not covered under international warranties? It is actually cheaper for me just to pay for repairs as far as I can see and not bother with a warranty at all- and get my GF to buy it for me from Japan. Is it possible to explicitly buy an International AppleCare warranty? Or, can I buy an AppleCare warranty in NZ and apply it to a machine bought overseas?
Thanks for your time and patience reading my thoughts. I really want to buy one of these machines but by the time I wait 8 weeks the next quad g5 is probably about to come out... I just don't understand the bad service we have here in New Zealand.
Thanks for your time.

David,
If it was refurbished by Apple themselves, I do believe they change the boxes so that it's clearly marked "Refurbished." I seem to remember a friend of mine telling me his PowerMac was a refurbished unit and his box was different than the normal ones.
