Can I update to 1.1.3 from outside the US

I'm on a ship on the West Coast of Africa making stops along the way. Next stop Namibia
I won't be home for over 2 months
We have 24/7 internet and I have my macbook pro
Is it possible to update my iphone?
Will there be issues?
Obviously I am far from an Apple Store and don't want to lose the use of my phone for the entire trip.

Since you are not near an AT&T network it will not be able to be reactivated.
I am not sure that is correct. I live in a very rural area and there is "No Service" in my home. When I run the 1.1.3 upgrade, the phone reactivates through the iTunes store (internet connection), not through the AT&T cell network.
(The FIRST time I activated the phone when it was new, it DID require connection to the AT&T cell network and that was a problem; but it has not required the cell network for reactivation after the upgrades.)

You may have a slow or intermittent internet connection. I use a slow and intermittent satellite service. IF you do decide to try to upgrade now, I suggest that FIRST you do a DOWNLOAD ONLY so that you have the full software package on your local computer, then try to apply the upgrade.
Back up everything, just in case. Be sure to do the iTunes 7.6 upgrade before you attempt to update the iPhone; some users seemed to encounter problems if they did not do the iTunes 7.6 first. (In fact, just to be safe, make sure ALL of the software on your MacBook Pro is up to date before you do the iPhone update.)
Call Apple iPhone support at 1-800-694-7466 to verify that reactivation after upgrade is through iTunes and the internet and does not require access to the AT&T cell network.

  • I can't update apps or download apps from Mac App Store

    I am running OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro less than 3 yrs old.
    I have 2.66 Ghz Intel I7 processor
    4GB memory 1067MHZ DDR3

    I can't update apps or download apps from Mac App Store
    King...
    Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8
    Then restart your Mac, launch the App Store.
    Try updating / downloading apps.

  • Can I update free to Windows 10 from my Aspire ZC-102 All in One desktop from Windows 8.1?

    Can I update free to Windows 10 from my Aspire ZC-102 All in One desktop from Windows 8.1?I bought my ACER with Windows 8 on it a year ago thru HSN. Then I upgraded to 8.1 using the Store thing on the computer. I've not been a fan of 8 or 8.1. I'm told that Windows 10 comes out on Friday and that upgrades are free somehow. Maybe that's thru doing the beta testing that I've read about. I don't know. But I'm not in very good shape financially and my computer's operating system is going nuts on me so an upgrade would probably fix things pretty well.
    I'd tried to do a Repair Install of 8.1 but was somehow told that since I'd upgraded from 8, a Repair Install couldn't be done thru the Control Panel. I'm clueless and I'm hurting. Can I have some help please?

    Thanks. I see that white icon down by the clock that hovered says GET WINDOWS 10. So even though I downloaded Windows 10 yesterday and burned it into being a bootable DVD, I went ahead and just Reserved My Upgrade since the DVD hasn't been cooperating.When I stuck it in and hit any key as the ACER started, it brought me to a screen that I couldn't figure out what to do on. I was clueless and I didn't want to cause myself any grief by just trying anything. I did just backup my28+ GB of Photos, Docs, Desktop, Downloads & Music.
    But I don't want to accidentally do a clean install, which I've done before on my XP Tablet pc and that sure isn't any fun for a novice like me.
    I only use Office 2013 and an old Paint Shop Pro 6.0 which is really old and isn't their newer v6 so it has to run in Compatibility Mode in 8.1. I'm not an APP guy either. I do use OmniPass software for passwords so I can Save and Restore them if needed, so I had to buy a 64 bit version of that to run on this ACER.
    So I guess my next step is to just wait for a Notification from Microsoft that I can now switch to 10 which I think it said will just download so my DVD won't even be needed for anything but as a repair tool.That icon you told me about brought up a screen and on it it said that it found my PC to be compatible with Windows 10. So does that mean that drivers and everything ACER will work as they should or will I need to get anything off the ACER site to make my PC work with Windows 10?

  • How can I use an American credit card to pay for a membership from outside the US?

    How can I use an American credit card to pay for a membership from outside the US? My payment page is set up for Japanese credit cards. I can't change to the US store, because the "Select a Store" page just jumps to the "Products" page.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi Batt5721,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    The address and the country on the Credit Card should match the billing address then only payment would be possible.
    Thanks

  • Can an American use iTunes from outside the US to download movies?

    Can an American use iTunes from outside the US to download movies?  The Terms & Conditions that just popped up as I was going to download a movie seems to indicate "no."  So Americans traveling abroad are out of luck?

    You can only use the Store for the country that reflects your billing address. This applies worlwide, not just to Americans.

  • Just recently on my IPad I can't update my App. I keep getting the error message "invalid Address" what is going on?

    Just recently on my IPad I can’t update my App. I keep getting the error message “invalid Address” what is going on?

    There are a number of threads about this - it looks like Apple recently updated their address validation. Some people have recorded success by :
    ensuring that their iTunes account address is exactly the same as appears on their credit card bill
    putting something in the second line of the address (including just copying the first line)
    expanding abbreviations e.g. St to Street, Ave to Avenue etc (or conversely abbreviating)
    putting apartment or suite number on the second address line

    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes. You have to restore your iPad now.

  • Can anyone get personal information from my computer from outside the home

    Hello, Is it possible for someone to get information from my computer from outside the house
    ? thanks

    Sadly your credit card info is easy to pickup from the following insecure methods:
    1. Connecting to a passwordless WiFi, or one with just WEP or WPA version 1 encryption.  Always use WPA2. Make sure your password is not in any dictionary of any language.
    2. Delete all browser cookies for retailers that have had credit card transactions before using the computer in a WiFi hotspot that has no password requirements.
    3. Connecting to a website without at least 128 bit RSA key encryption and entering your credit card number in such a website.  Browsers have a method of determining your encryption either by clicking the lock icon, or hovering over the lock icon, or viewing the web browser security settings.  When making online transactions, do not save your credit card number to any website, and secure the website you are making a transaction with, with a password that isn't found in any dictionary.
    4. Look at your credit card receipts wherever you use your credit card.  Both the customer copy and the retailer copy should have all but the last 4 digits Xed out.  If they are all visible, inform the retailer there are more secure credit card machines that do, and you won't purchase anything with them by credit card until they use such machines.
    5. Gas stations, it is better that your receipt is not printed at all, and if it is, don't forget to check with the attendent if they have a copy of the receipt and get it from them.
    6. Credit card wireless scanners.  Apparently people have managed to scan other people's back pockets and get the credit card number off them.  If at all possible don't leave your credit card in your back pocket, and use your front pocket, or a purse that you always keep an eye on.
    If your bill online or otherwise indicate charges you don't recognize, get your number changed immediately, and dispute the charges within 60 days.  If you don't you may be liable for them.  Otherwise you are usually only liable for the first $50.
