Can I have my iPhone 5 serviced out of the country of purchase?

I have two iPhone 5's, mine (Model: MD298DN/A, Serial: C3*******TWF, iOS: 7.1.2) and my wife's (Model: MD297DN/A, Serial: C3*******TWD, iOS: 7.1.2), both are eligible for the Battery and Sleep Button Replacement Programs. I work for the US Department of State and move every two to three years. The phones were purchased November of 2012 in Frankfurt, Germany, while I was posted there; however, I am currently posted to Bangkok, Thailand, with no plans to return to Germany. I just brought my phones into a service center in Thailand and was informed that I would have to return to Germany or have permission from Apple, to have the service performed out of the country of original purchase. Could you please issues this permission for both phones? Thank you in advance for your time and attention.
Regards,
Joshua Bogitsh

Do not post your serial numbers on this public website. Had you read the terms of this forum, you would know not to do that, and also know that Apple doesn't review these forums.
Edit: Additionally, the first serial number you provided isn't a valid Apple Serial number. The second one is. I assume that's a typo on your part.

Can I use my iPhone 6 out of the box to take photos, before syncing it with my computer?

I will be receiving a new iPhone 6 at the beginning an upcoming trip and would like to use the great camera on it to take photos. The problem is I won't have my computer with me during this trip. Will I be able to use my iPhone right out of the box to take photos, and when I sync my iPhone for the first time will I risk losing those photos? Thank you for the help.

Once you have activated the iPhone with a sim inserted
when I sync my iPhone for the first time will I risk losing those photos?

Can I have my iPhone upload pictures to the cloud but disable downloading from it?

Like the question states:
Is there any way of enabling uploading of pictures from my iphone to the cloud but disable downloading of pictures?
I just transferred over 2500 pictures from my SLR and would really like to not have these download to my phone. I just disabled icloud on my phone as its been downloading these pictures for the last hour or so...
Thanks,
Raf.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are referring to photo stream, then no, you cannot just have it upload photos but not download them.
In reference to your last point, photo stream cannot hold 2,500 photos, it is limited to 1,000 photos, and then only for 30 days.

How can I unlock my iphone to use out of the country.I have a iphone 5

Im traveling out of the country,and I need to unlock my iphone 5 to use there.How can I do that?

You don't need to unlock your iPhone if you want to use it abroad. There's roaming
If, however you want to insert a SIM card in another country, you should contact your provider. Every provider has it's specific rules for unlocking so I can't give you a general answer

Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id

Can I have an iPhone, ipad and MacBook Pro with the same apple id. When I use I tunes it get confusing and I have a paid app that needs the same id

When syncing the iPhone and iPad with iTunes on your computer that is logged in with the Apple ID you plan on using on all three, the Apple ID should be transferred to the iPhone and iPad for the iTunes & App Stores on each device. If not, you'll need to sign out of the existing Apple ID on the iPhone and iPad followed by signing in with the Apple ID you want to use on both.
Keep in mind that all 3rd party apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. With an app installed on your iPad and iPhone that was downloaded with a different Apple ID from the one you will be using now, you will need to use that Apple ID and password to install app updates for those apps. Not possible to transfer apps purchased with one Apple ID to another or to merge Apple IDs.

Try asking at ifixit.com. The iPhone is not considered user servicable. You're not going to get much help on an Apple sponsored forum.

I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

I'm from the USA but am on vacation in Brazil; I have a great WiFi connection but can not connect to the iTunes Store. Is this because I am out of the Country?

Thank you very much for your insight; I guess I had assummed that iPads/iPhones/iPods were here in Brazil and further assumed that the iTunes store would also be available.

Hey Destiny24
Check out the iPhone Hardware troubleshooting guide in the Display section. It has a section for not having any backlight. If you cannot get it resolved, there are some links towards the bottom of the article for further options when it cannot be resolved.

I have an iPhone 6. For the first two weeks my bluetooth worked fine but then started having issues. Now, although it shows that it is connected to Bluetooth, I can't hear any of the calls. The radio continues to play. Please help!

Hello there, Srushevics.
It sounds like you may be having issues with the connectivity of your iPhone with the Bluetooth in your vehicle. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting that Bluetooth connectivity with your iOS device:
If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit
To resolve the issue, you'll need to first sign in to iCloud and review your devices:
Sign in to iCloud on your iOS devices and Macs with OS X Yosemite (available this fall).
On one of your devices, tap Settings > Bluetooth and look under My Devices. You'll see all devices that are connected to Bluetooth, but make sure that you see your Apple devices that are signed in to iCloud and are using iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite.
Sign out of your iCloud account from any devices that you don't want to use. To sign out of iCloud on an iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud > Sign Out.
Then, remove any inactive devices from iCloud:
Sign in to iCloud.com.
Select Find My iPhone.
Select any devices that aren't active anymore.
Wait for Find My iPhone to stop trying to find the inactive device.
You should see the option to remove this device from your account. Select it to remove the device.
After following the steps above, restart the device with the issue. Then try to use it with your Bluetooth accessory.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

How can I take my iphone 5 out of recovery mode if I do not want to restore my phone and the power button is broken?

How can I take my Iphone 5 out of recovery mode if I do not want to restore my phone and my power button is broken?

Unfortunately, you will have to restore your iPhone...
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 :
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup.

If i buy an unlocked iphone 4s in the usa will it work in Australia? and will the warranty be valid in astralia as i have been told that apple have a world wide after sales service but also been told warranties are only valid in the country of purchase

Each country is a separate business. If Apple in Australia fixes a phone purchased in another country it reduces their profit. The good news is that Apple stores will frequently replace phones purchased in other countries under warranty, but they are not required to do so. Some countries are more liberal than others. India never does, for example.
Why don't you just buy it in Australia? The price difference can't be that great.

I have an iphone 5 w/hot spot but am traveling out of the country. If I turn off cellular data

I HAVE AN IPHONE 5W/HOT SPOT VERIZON PLAN AND AM TRAVELING OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
IF I TURN OFF CELLULAR DATA AND DATA ROAMING TO AVOID DATA FEES, IT DISCONNECTS MY HOT SPOT.
IS THERE A WAY TO TURN DATA OFF AND STILL UTILIZE HOT SPOT?

Hi Friend,
If you turn off Cellular Data you are unable to use hotspot.
But you can turn on Airplane Mode and them turn on Wifi, then you can use Wifi wherever you are with Wifi connection. But remember, if you turn on Airplane mode, it automatically turn off your Wifi, so you need to trun on it again,
Hope it will be helpful

No. The warranty does not cover damage.
You can only get a replacement if you can talk Apple into selling you and out of warranty replacement.
