Can i switch providers if I am staying in another country?

I'm going to be in Austrlia for 4 months. Anyone know if can switch providers for my iphone while I'm there? I'm certainly not going to pay international rates for that long.

Doubtful with your iPhone, but I would contact at&t or Apple to find out if they would agree to unlocking your iPhone for the 4 months while you are there. Since you won't be canceling your contract with at&t and you will be returning, they may agree to do this on a short term basis with your iPhone being re-carrier locked with at&t when you return.
I don't think this is possible, but there is only one way to find out, and the worse thing they can say is no. If so, you can purchase an inexpensive unlocked phone when you arrive there, and get a pre-paid SIM card from a local provider. You can use your iPhone to connect to the internet via an available wi-fi network while there.

I have an ipad 3 with wifi feature only, can I use the data plan 3G in another country??

No. You have no place for a sim card in the WiFi only iPad. You MAY be able to purchase a personal MIFI hotspot that will work with a data plan in another country. I have one here in the U.S. that I bought through Verizon, but I assume it will only work on the Verizon network here with my Verizon Data Plan. So you would need a data plan in the country in which you want to use the iPad if this option is available for you.

Can I switch out my macbook hard drive to another same year/size?

Hi everyone. I have been active on here years ago but I have an issue that I wanted to get some information on.
I have a very old 2006 Macbook pro (A1211) very stock. Nothing was really changed.
Over the years, certain keys quit working, the dvd drive quit working and finally the monitor gave out. It's obviously too much to repair but I have a lot of old files and photos (backed up, but still..) and applications I'd like to keep using.
My question is this: Can I buy the same body/size/computer (it's the late 2006 with the 2.16 core 2 duo) and just simply switch out the hard drive from my old one to this other machine that has the same specs?
Will I still be able to use the same applications, etc?
Also, would that hard drive work as it has on my other machine? Are there any glitches that I would have to work out? And finally, would that same hard drive work in a machine that has a 2.33 core 2 duo rather than the 2.16 core duo?
Sorry for all the questions..I used to be fairly well versed with macs but I'm quite out of the knowledge loop these days. I do have a newer machine but I really would like to preserve this drive, the applications, etc.
Thanks in advance for any info someone could give.

Don,
The easiest way to do this would be for you to buy an external enclosure, then remove your hard drive and put it into the enclosure. You can then buy any Mac you want and either copy the files over manually or use Migration Assistant to move it all to the new machine. That way you don't have to worry about compatibility and such.

How can I gift a tv show to someone in another country?

I bought two shows for a relative in Holland. He said he can't watch them because the code is only valid in the US. Wondering what I can do. Thanks.

I am very confused by this. I'd happily buy the shows through a sort of "Dutch itunes store" or something and even pay a markup for the conversion of currency or a "convenience" fee, etc. But I "gifted" the show, so why should it matter where the recipient is when they are receiving a gift? I can purchase the dvd online and have it delivered, but I can't just send the itunes version in a similar way? I thought this was supposed to be the convenient option.
Good thing there's no hassle-free alternative to legal means out there, or else this would be a profoundly stupid restriction!

Can I access to creative cloud (UK membership) in another country?

I travel a lot, and I'd like to know if I can use creative cloud in countrys not listed in the available ones. (specially southamerica)
Also, have some friends wanting to get a membership, but they live in countrys not listed. If they pay they membership with a listed country credit card, would they can have one?
thanks a lot

For sure you can buy an UK gift certificate for someone located in the US
BUT!
That certificate can be redeemed in the UK only - i.e. the person needs at least a street address in the UK in order to create an UK account + redeem that gift.
... and in addition to the above answer: If you've got an UK account, you are able to buy UK gift certificates only.

The county of the billing address, the country of the store, and the country of the credit card must match.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

How do or can I switch gmail account to exchange?

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch. I updated to iOS5 this summer, but some programs/apps got very slow, but the biggest, consistent problem is the Calendar app. I'm thinking perhaps this could be related to email and gmail. So here are my questions about email settings.
I want to try switching my "gmail" account to "exchange." Is this a good idea, would it help with push capability and perhaps be better for calendar too? Will it conflict and be a problem to have 2 "exchange" accounts or will they cause problems with each other?
I have 2 email addresses / accounts that get email on my iPod. They are both @gmail.com addresses set as IMAP.
One is set as: "Gmail" with Mail, Calendars and Notes "ON." This account is my main account and in the last couple of months, my email no long "pushes" to the device (i.e. it won't show up in notifications center, or download at all until I go to the inbox screen). When you go to look at the settings of this "gmail" account there is no slide bar about mail folders to push, it's just not there.
The 2nd is set as "exchange" with "Mail" only turned on. (I read an article way back that said this is the way to have 2 email addresses that stay separate but can be checked on one device.) This email account does "push" new messages as there is a slider bar that has this option turned on.
So the questions are above and here to:
1. Can I switch a "gmail" account set up on iPod Touch to "exchange." If so, how do I do this? Will I lose all data (email, calendar, notes) and info currently downloaded to the device? Will it all come back if I make a change?
2. Will this work with the 2nd "exchange" gmail account? Will it keep the 2 email addresses separate with different inboxes and folders as they are in gmail? Will there be any conflict or corruption or funky problems having 2 "exchanges"?
3. Any sense of whether "exchange" is better for gmail calendar functionality too? I have a horrible time with the Calendar app simply not working, it freezes, it shows everything blank but when I quit and reload it sometimes comes back and all my data is there. I've downloaded other calendar apps (Week Calendar and CalenMod) and they also have problems so I feel it's got something to do with how the wifi sends info to the device.
Thanks!
iPod Touch 3rd generation, iOS 5.1.1. Syncs to MB Pro running OS 10.6.8.

Okay, thanks for the article and the heads up that exchange is going away soon. But that article is talking about setting up a "gmail" account in settings which is what I have already and push doesn't seem possible this way. Is there another or better option to have 2 separate email gmail accounts fetching and pushing data to one device?

Beware!! Trying to switch providers when using BT ...

I have been using BT Infinity for over 12 months and am currently on a rolling contract.
I decided to switch providers as BT is way too expensive for me these days.
I have now spent 5 weeks, had almost 20 emails from BT claiming to have "resolved the issue" and spent hours on the phone to both BT and O2, trying to get a contract with another provider....all to no avail. It seems that once you are an Infinity customer it's extremely difficult (if not impossible) to switch to a new provider.
I have had more than one tag removed from my BT line and also had an issue with the router (according to BT) and O2 are saying that it's probably because I'm on fibre optic broadband.
Does Infinity mean that you're stuck with BT for life?
Has anyone got any idea as to what else I can do please?
Many Thanks

I've not heard of anyone having difficulties migrating but maybe that's just because it's still so rare.
Maybe it's rarity is the problem for BT.
PlusNet have an FTTC service on their website so maybe a switch to that would be less painful? Although when I did a service availability check with them they said I could get ADSL but I"m on the FTTP trial in MK with BT & the bloke over the road is on it with PlusNet so I thought they would"ve known what was available here, perhaps the trial info is not in their checker.
