Can you buy iPhone 5 at full price at Apple and then bring it into VZ to activate?

As with many people asking today, I'd like to keep my unlimited plan. No current discussion seems to apply exactly to me so I'm making a new one. Here is a quick summary and then my question:
I'm not an account manager but I pay my share of the bill so the acct. manager doesn't care what I do with my phone. I have an iPhone 4 with unlimited data. I'd like to get an iPhone 5 and keep my data. I don't mind paying full price. I'd much much prefer to order from Apple than VZ's online store. So question: Can I pre-order the iPhone from Apple at full price and take the phone to get switch at a store to make sure it get's switch right or do I have to wait till who knows when till my local VZ store has iPhone 5s in stock?
Edit: Decided to call Apple (VZ's customer service line has a pre-emptive recording about how you shouldn't ask questions like mine to a CS representative. Understandable)
What the Apple guy said was that when you buy from them you have to tie that iPhone to an account, whether it's new or current. What I want to do will only be possible once Apple starts selling "unlocked" iPhones. At this time they don't know when that'll be possible but he was very optimistic in saying soon. I guess I'll have to wait no matter what I choose.

maybe not with verizon, a friend of mine preordered well into the day when the iphone 4 came out no problem so you might be able to.. keep in mind most people who have the verizon iphone 4 probably dont have an upgrade before oct 7th since thats 20 months from the first day people got it so the numbers will be slightly down. (of course you have people with multiple lines and people like me who plan on paying full retail)

Where can i buy iphone 6 plus tampered glass screen protector and waterproof casing

where can i buy iphone 6 plus tampered glass screen protector and waterproof casing. how much is it and where can i get it.FROM SINGAPORE

If you take a look at the Lifeproof fre and it's features, I don't think you should need a tempered glass screen. I have found this case to be so perfect that the touch ID works better than it did directly on the iPhone 6 Gorilla Glass.

Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV

Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV. ie I have no router but am interested in playing music from phone to apple TV.

Yes in theory, though do check your phone contract small print and keep an eye on your data usage - in theory local data sent across the LAN created by the hotspot should not use 3G data but some carriers seem to treat it as internet data usage.

Can you search the Internet? If so, you can answer your own question.

Can you buy older models of iPods on the Apple store?

I am looking to buy a 6th generation iPod nano but most stores are no longer selling them. Can i buy one from the apple store?

Call your local store & ask them. Also, online & offline Apple Stores are not the only places you can purchase the 6th generation iPod Nano. All Mac resellers sell them. They will let you know if they have any in stock and/or when they plan on restocking if ever. Much faster than waiting for an answer on a message board.
Last resort would be eBay & Craig's List. Also your local newspaper classified ads.

In Excel 2013, can you create a powerview connected to a SQL server and then upload this to Sharepoint to 2013?

Creating a powerview in sharepoint browser can be tedious, but it is a lot more convenient in the desktop Excel 2013.
However, when you upload the excel document (where data source is SQL server) to sharepoint, there are two problems:
1. The powerview is shown as a worksheet in the excel file in sharepoint
2. You dont get the same features as a powerview - most importantly Export to PowerPoint.
Has anyone come across this? Does this mean if you want to create powerview which are to be shown in full screen and also to be exported to powerpoint must always be directly created in Sharepoint browser?

Hi,
There is no method to get around this. According
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/excel-help/power-view-explore-visualize-and-present-your-data-HA102835634.aspx,
Both versions of Power View need Silverlight installed on the machine.
You can’t open a Power View RDLX file in Excel, or open an Excel XLSX file with Power View sheets in Power View in SharePoint. You also can’t copy charts or other visualizations from the RDLX file into the Excel workbook.
You can save Excel XLSX files with Power View sheets to SharePoint Server, either on premises or in Office 365, and open those files in SharePoint. Read more about
Power View in Excel in SharePoint Server 2013 or in SharePoint Online in Office 365.
In addition, you can try to submit the suggestions from the following link:

Can you buy a iPhone in America and then swap it to a Australia network?

Hi,
My mum wants to get my sister a iPhone 4 for her 15th birthday, but she thinks buying it in Australia is a little silly, because shes going to America next month and wants to get it there because its cheaper (even though the Aussie dollars higher?) and then bring it here (unused), andd would it then be possible to set it up on a Australian network?
Any help with this question would be greatly appreciated.

I converted the US prices and the Australian prices to British pounds: a 16GB iPhone costs around 403GBP in the US, and around 569GBP in Australia.
I can understand where the OP is coming from.... but repeat that taxes could wipe out that difference.
There is also the warranty problem. Will Apple Australia give help and repair a US Phone?
I've talked myself out of it. Buy Australian!

Thanks

However many people contact Apple support for there is nothing that either they or you can do.
Apple stores online do NOT provide international shipping, end of story.
If you want an unlocked iPhone 5, you will either have to wait until they are available nearer to you or you need to physically travel to the UK and purchase an unlocked iPhone 5 there. Rememeber though about warranty issues - not international so it means you'll have to physically return to the UK if anything goes wrong with the phone.
If you have a friend travelling to the UK, then they could purchase one for you and then you could put a local Saudi nano sim card in the phone when they become available over there.
Other than that, just be patient and wait until they become available.

Can you buy the ipod touch/iphone etc. then send it back to apple to be engraved?

if you don't want it engraved straight away but want some time to think of what to engrave on it, can you buy the ipod touch then send it back a few months later to be engraved with your preffered message? xx

No, you will need to go to a jewellers / trophy engraver to get your iPod engraved.

Can I buy Iphone here in US then bring to Philippines and use it there? How it works that way?

Can I buy Iphone here in US then bring to Philippines and use it there, using cellphone provider (Globe or Smart)? How it works that way?

You will have to buy your unlocked iPhone (at full price) directly from an Apple Store or from the Apple Online Store. You will need to get a microSIM from Globe or Smart that is iPhone compatible (with iOS 5.1; ask them) and remember if you need warranty service on your iPhone you will have to return to the US or send it to someone you know in the US and have them take it in.

How can i buy iphone from USA if i am from romania?

How can i buy iPhone from USA if i am from Romania?
Can you tell me it is possible? and what taxes i have to pay and the iPhone price.

The $199 price is for an iPhone with a service plan with AT&T, Verizon or Sprint - that is the subsidized price with a valid cellular service plan.
Those phones will be LOCKED to the carrier who's service plan you subscribe to - they WILL NOT work outside of the USA nor on any carrier other than the one chosen at the time of ordering.
You would want one of the unlocked GSM phones (16Gb=$649 USD, 32Gb=$749 and 64Gb=$849)
You cannot order from the web store unless you have a USA credit card with a USA billing AND shipping address (the web stores ONLY ship to their own country, not to other countries). So as already mentioned, you would have to come to the USA and buy an UNLOCKED iPhone at an Apple store.

Can I buy Iphone 5 from US Apple Store to Greece?

The Iphone 5 is too expensive in Greece.
Can I buy Iphone 5 from US Apple store and send it to Greece ????
Can I use a US Iphone 5 to Greece ??

You will have to pay local sales tax in the US.. New york sales taxes are, I believe, nearly 9%. Then, assuming you are being legal, you will be paying your local VAT and import duties, and the carriers fee.
You end that with very little difference in price. And you end up with no warranty. And an incompatible 4G chipset it you want to receive 4G.
