Can I connect an iphone in Australia that was purchased in United States?

Hi there,
My dad wants to purchase an iphone 4s for me for Christmas. He lives in United States where he plans to purchase the iphone from but I live in Australia. Is it possible to connect the phone in Australia depite being purchased in the United States? He mentioned something about GSM frequency? Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you!
Lainey

If you live in Australia and the phone is for you and it will be used in Australia, then buy it in Australia and not the US.
The frequency compatibilities are more to do with the iPhone 5 than the iPhone 4s, as iPhone 5 has 4G and LTE capabilities, which the iPhone 4s does not, but anyway, if you are going to be using it in Australia, then buy the phone in Australia and then your warranty will be valid for Australia if anything goes wrong with the phone and you can get it fixed.
The warranty on the iPhone is country specific and NOT worldwide, so if your dad buys the phone for you in the US, then the warranty will only be for the US and not Australia, so if you have problems with the phone, you will have to post it back to him and get him to sort it out in the US under the warranty there.
Bottom line - if the phone is for you to use in Australia, then buy the phone in Australia.

Can I keep stuff on a ipad that was purchased from a friend?

I bought my ipad from a friend and wonder if i can keep all her apps or will it delete them when i sync it to my itunes?

Apps are tied to the iTunes account, not the machine - even if you wanted to keep them, even if your friend "sold" the apps to you, you couldn't keep them. When you sync the computer to your own iTunes account, it will wipe out the existing apps and replace them with any tied to your iTunes account.

Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
Try a different port on the computer.
Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
Upgrade itunes to newest version.
Is you USB cord defective ?
Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
Delete or Disable any antivirus program on your computer ?
I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
We could do this for hours.

How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

I purchased a new router and now can't connect my Iphone 4S to it. All my other devices work fine. How do I get the phone to connect. It finds the router but wants IP address: CHCP/BootP/STATIC. I am confused!!

I purchased a new router and can not connect my IPHONE 4S to it. All my other devices connect fine including my IPAD. HELP! I am not a techie!! I am a newbie

My guess is that when you see the router on your phone, you press the blue arrow on the right - thats why you see all the IP stuff. Don't press the blue arrow. Press further to the left. You should be prompted for a password then.

How can i connect my iPhone with my pc !! still my swipe is not working still my pc ask for accept device on iPhone

how can i connect my iPhone with my pc !! still my swipe is not working but my pc ask to accept device on iPhone!!!!

Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
Look on other screens. The 4.1 update ands Game Center to the home screen. If that screen was full it create a blank screen and moves one app from the home screen to the new screen to make room for Game Center. All the other screens are pushed back one place.
How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
If they are really gone, you can download them again. You will not be charged again if you use the same iTunes account.

By Design you can only Sync the phone to One iTunes Library at a time...
Syncing & importing pics/videos in the camera roll are two entirely different things & have nothing to do with each other.
You can import iPhone camera roll photos/videos using any computer you want...this has nothing to do with iTunes or syncing.
