Charging iPod in a different country

Does anybody know if I will need anything other than a standard plug-in converter to charge my 80GB Classic with the iPod USB Power Adapter from Canada when I go to mainland China?

No; you can just use the converter. Voltage switching is done by the USB power adapter.

Returning ipod in a different country?

I was given an Ipod classic as a gift about 2 and a half months ago. At the end of last week, while I was using it, it rebooted itself, loaded as far as the menu screen, and immediately rebooted itself, and has been doing the same thing since then (so, a good couple of days of continually rebooting - its plugged into the mains at the moment). If I run the battery down, as soon as I plug it into a source of power, it does the same thing, and my computer won't recognise it as it doesn't load up for long enough before rebooting.
Anyway, I tried to get an appointment at a Genius bar in London, but there are none available this week it seems. My problem is that on Sunday, I am leaving England to move to the Netherlands, and I'd like my ipod working before I go. Either I could just take it back to the store and get a replacement (I'm assuming I don't have to go through genius to do this, but they may send it off to check it and I may not get it back before I go, plus will lose the engraving on the back I guess, if they give me a straight swap). But the other option is, that I return it in the Netherlands, and ask them to send me a new one there (with engraving on - it's probably a bit silly, but it was a gift and I'd feel a bit of an idiot if I engraved a lovely message to myself!)
So, can you return ipods bought in one country to an apple shop in another country? Or does anyone have any better ideas?
Any advice would be massively helpful!
Thanks

As the iPod warranty is worldwide, you shouldn't have any problem filling out the service request when in Holland.
I've returned an iPod bought in the USA here in England and got a replacement (although it wasn't engraved).

How do I charge iPod w/ a different computer without losing my iPod library

I usually use the iPod with my G5 at home. Last time I travelled I tried charging the iPod with the USB cable and my laptop. Unfortunately, it decided to use the library of iBook.
I know there is a setting for manually updating, etc. Isn't that option only available when the iPod is plugged into the computer? I would rather do it now while I am at home then on my trip and lose my tracks.
So to sum up, my question is... How do I charge my iPod with a second machine and not lose my iPod library?
Thank you so much in advance!
Bobby

Since you have a fifth generation iPod and a machine with FireWire ports, you can do this by plugging it in through the FireWire connection; that iPod will charge but not sync through FireWire. Otherwise, set the iPod to update manually when it is hooked up to the main machine, or use these instructions to change the synchronization mode.

Using an ipod in a different country!

I have a 3rd Generation ipod which i bought in the UK and i used a itunes with my PC, I am now living in Canada and have itunes on the PC i use here but i can not play my music through the PC or upload any music onto my ipod, any suggetions?

forgive me if I'm jumping to conclusions... but it sounds as though you are using 2 different PCs. 1 in the UK, 1 in Canada. If this is not the case then please disregard what I'm about to say.
In order to play music from an iPod on a computer other than the one used to put the music on, you'll need to set the iPod for manual update in iTunes preferences. This will allow access to the music on the iPod for the sake of playback.
Secondly, the iPod can only be updated from one computer or another. You're unable to update the iPod from the music library on two different computers without one erasing the other. If you want to get rid of the music on the iPod the iPod updater can be used to restore it back to factory settings, at which point you should be able to update it on the PC in Canada just fine.
Hope this helps,

When I connect my ipod to 2 different Mac computers, it will charge but is not showing up in itunes for sync. What happened?

When I connect my ipod to 2 different Mac computers, it will charge but is not showing up in itunes for sync. What happened?

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your Mac? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the Mac?

Iphone charger warranty in different country

I bought my iphone in U.S. and I happen to go back in the Philippines after several months. Then my iphone charger suddenly breaks and according to apple philippines, they cannot replace the charger because it was bought in U.S. I bought an iphone in the U.S. knowing that it has international warranty however, they said that they do not cover Philippines. How is that? Is there a way I can as a replacement of my charger in the U.S. where I bought my phone?

Although you can use any apple charger in any country but its always better to use a charger made according to that country's electronic standars.
I would also advice that you get an Apple charger made for your country.
I am using an iphone bought in USA but the first thing i did after coming back was buy an Apple charger made for India

Do you need a converter to charge Ipod nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/plug adapter in Switzerland?

do you need a converter to charge Ipod Nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/adapter plug in Switzerland? or is the Ipod Nano dual-voltage?

None of the iDevices are multi-voltage themselves...the chargers from Apple are all 110-240 volt. You will have to look at the non-Apple charger you have and see if it says it handles 110-240 volts. Most made today are capable of that range, or they would have to make a different item for each country.
All you probably need is a plug-pin converter, can find those in the airport, at least in Zurich, don't know about Geneva.

How to Purchase iTunes Music in a Different Country

Hi there,
I'm reading that you have to be in a country and you can only download music on that "home" country's site. My problem is that there is music available on iTunes in a different country that I would love to purchase but cannot because I'm not resident there. So... is there a solution to this? Problem is that what I'm looking for is extremely hard to find where I currently live, in fact it's impossible. Is the purchase dependent upon your credit card billing address? Just wondering if there's any kind of solution to the dilemma or whether this is all legal stuff causing the issue. I mean, I can go on-line and purchase an item in, say, Europe, charge it to my North American credit card with the appropriate currency conversion applied. So, why can this not be done in iTunes?
If there's a solution please let me know. Thanks!
L.

Sorry, but at this time there is no solution. It's due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders.
Is the purchase dependent upon your credit card billing address?
The billing address is primarily to verify your residence in your country.
? Just wondering if there's any kind of solution to the dilemma or whether this is all legal stuff causing the issue.
It is indeed "legal stuff" and there is, I'm sorry to say, no solution. From This Business of Music (10th Edition) (by M. William Krasilovsky and Sydney Shemel) (and thanks to the Mimico Kid for the reference) :
The difficulty of establishing workable business models for digital files (...) extends to where they are sold and where they are played. This is the issue of territoriality, and it is an illustration of how the Internet makes it necessary to reexamine basic assumptions that have been taken for granted (...).
(....) In the music business the primary problem is that copyrights are national and therefore specific rights are tied to national laws and the interpretations of national courts.
(.... T)hough we can one day hope to see the development of common standards with respect to copyright, the fact that the music business is building upon a history of nation-specific contractual relationships means that the goal of universal international standards is not, for the forseeable future, a practical one.
(...) Adding to the difficulty (...) the copyrights themselves may have been assigned to different companies in different territories. The best hope for a cleaner start and a simpler future is worldwide recognition that digital uses are in fact - and should be in law - totally new.
The content owners don't like cross-border sales of CDs either, but there's nothing they can do to stop such sales. They can, though, and do stop cross-border download sales, since if the download stores refuse, the rights holders won't license the tracks to that store.
So unless and until the record companies, et. al, all get together and agree to allow download stores to sell cross-border, there's absolutely nothing Apple or any other download store can do. They have to license for each country individually, and the holders of the rights for a given country may not with to grant such a license, and in some cases there is no one who holds the distribution rights for a given item in your country.

MacBook doesn't charge iPod shuffle

The only way to charge iPod Shuffle is by connecting it via USB port to your computer. So I wonder why on earth my MacBook is not capable to charge it while it is shut down let alone when it is put to sleep! If a battery can be charged in aforementioned situations so should the iPod Shuffle.
where can I report such incompatibility or where can I put a suggestion for Apple people to work it out?

Did you download any programmes like
caffeine to prevent your macbook from sleeping after
the display has been closed?
No. It gives every indication that it is sleeping normally: pulsing front light, becomes cool to the touch, wakes when lid opened or key pressed, doesn't do anything strange when awakened. I also haven't used pmset to change the sleep setting from default; it pauses before the sleep light pulsates as if it's writing the sleep image to disk.
As a matter of fact, it continues to provide power with two different pads. The cheap inline switch on the pad failed and I had it replaced under warranty. The second unit has the same behavior.

dj,
That is good to know. Have you ever turned off wi-fi and used your cellular data instead? I'd like to know if your carrier charges you for the iMessage? I will be travelling with a +44 number on my sim card (Teletial based in the Channel Islands I believe) and some places like South Korea & Japan charge about $30USD/MB. ( or 19 GBP/MB). The devil is in the detail.
My carrier, 3, does not charge extra for cellular data. I pay £34 per month for a cellular plan with unlimited data. So, no, I do not get charged for sending iMessages whether I am on cellular data or wifi. If I were to try to send an iMessage to an international number that did not belong to an Apple device, it would send as SMS and I am sure that standard international rates would apply. Apple iMessage is a different protocol for users with an AppleID. There is no way for the carrier to distinguish it from any other data traffic.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

How can I gift an App to someone in a different country? How can I recall the gift I alreadt sent?

I gifted an App from the App store to my cousin. He is India and I am in Kuwait. He now got a message saying that the app can only be used in Kuwait. How can I gift an App to someone in a different country? How can I recall the gift I alreadt sent?
Cheers,

Are you asking about iOS apps? This is the Mac App Store forum, about issues with apps for Macs, not iOS devices. Mac apps cannot be gifted at this moment. I am asking the Hosts to move your question to the iTunes area.
