Charging powerbook in foreign country
I am going on a trip to Greece, and was wondering how I could charge my powerbook there. My regular converter says do not use with a computer, so I was wondering if anyone knew if there was something special I needed.
Thanks
Hi davekies
Your Powerbook power adaptor will work just fine with foreign current. All you need is a travel-plug adaptor to change the pins.

Purchasing a Magsafe charger in a foreign country
Hi all,
My official 60w Magsafe charger for my 13" Macbook Pro (late 2011) flayed and is no longer useable. I purchased the laptop in Australia but currently reside in Germany. Is it ok to use an official 60w Magsafe charger purchased here in Germany with my Australian Macbook Pro?
The store I would like to purchase it from (http://www.saturn.de/mcs/product/APPLE-60-Watt-MagSafe-Netzteil-f%C3%BCr-13-Zoll --MacBook-Pro-MC416Z-A,48352,325522,322755.html?langId=-3) lists these details: 'Apple 60 Watt Magsafe for 13 inch Macbook pro MC416Z/A'. I have no idea what these last numbers refer to or if it would affect my laptop.
Much obliged.Thank you for the speedy response.
Good to hear. I was just a little concerned about the differing model numbers. The German retailers list the model as MC416Z/A whilst the Australian retailers MC461X/A. Do you know what these codes might be referencing? My only guess is the plug type... -
If I've set up my phone in a foreign country and I'm traveling, if I make a purchase on iTunes will I be charged in my country of origin or in the country I'm in
You will be purchasing from the same store as before so yes it will charge as usual in your country currency that you are registered with.

Correct.

Cost of calling local # in foreign country
What is the cost of calling a local number when I am in a foreign country? Is it just the same roaming charge I would pay to call a US number from that country? That's what a Verizon representative told me but it doesn't sound right.
If I am in London, for example, and I have the Global Value Plan will I pay $.99/minute to call a London number or a US number?nycityny,
We do not want you to have any surprise charges on your bill. Lets make sure you are able to see exactly what the rates for calling a number in the use while international. The rate for making a call while in London whether calling an international number or dialing a number from the U.S. the rate is $0.99 per minutes with the Global Value Plan. Check out all the details here... http://vz.to/1jOzh5I

USB Adapter's Use in foreign country that does not use standard 110 and
I am not taking my lap top on my trip to NZ but want to charge battery on IPod. Will the Apple USB Adapter work with an additional adapter for the different current and plug in that foreign country?
Yes, you can take the USB adaptor. New Zealand uses 230V. All you need is a plug adaptor so you can plug it into the socket. New Zealand uses the same plugs as Australia.

How would 2 people call each other using facetime if both were in a foreign country but staying at different locations within that country?
It's tied to the Apple ID also - I believe it would use that to find the right person/device.
Perhaps this article would help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319. It looks like you may want to go in through your contacts and make the call.
If you're concerned about data charges, put your phone in Airplane mode before trying to Facetime. That will prevent it from trying to make a call over your cellular data.

Texting an American number in a foreign country
My friend and I text regularly as we live far apart and it's how we catch up. One day we were texting and he tells me after a few minutes that he is in Costa Rica. Will I be charged for sending texts to his American number while he is in a foreign country? Thanks
Follow up: Is this any different than just texting a Costa Rican number?

From the USA, how can I purchase a gift card or certificate to give to someone to redeem in the iTunes store of a foreign country?
No, it means you switch from the US store to the other store. Afterwards you just switch back to the US store. You can theoretically have accounts in many different iTunes stores. Switching is simply logging out of one and logging into another after switching countries. There's a switch country link at the bottom of the iTunes Store.
Personally, it seems it would be much simpler to send a check to all of your friends. Far less trouble than trying to open bank accounts and get credit cards from different countries unless you frequently travel to them and don't mind maintaining cash balances in different banks across the world. Not to mention getting credit cards. Here in Vancouver they won't give me a credit card unless I maintain a $5,000.00 minimum balance in my Canadian checking account. If I did that I'd hardly have much need for the charge card. -
I live in Japan but I would like to use my US credit card to make purchases in the US Store.
I had no problems with this previously, but I recently informed my US bank of my Japanese address and changed it (had to).
There is no way to input my Japanese address (so that it matches the bank information) in the fields for the US App Store (which has no foreign country fields, you are limited to having to fill in the US state field, flags me for phone number area code differences, etc.).
When I hit the change country button: A) It took me to the Japanese App Store; B) I could not use my US credit card there (despite my Japanese address).
Yes, I may want to make purchases in the Japanese App Store in the future (I am bilingual), but the selections are different depending on the country.
Now I can make purchases in neither country.
I want to make purchases in the US Store from Japan.
Help! I feel like I am getting punished for being global. (The world should be getting smaller, more interconnected, and more convenient with the Internet --- not the opposite!)Well, I can certainly understand the licensing argument if I were using a Japanese credit card with a Japanse address and making a purchase with Japanese yen from the US Store from Japan.
When I am making a purchase with US card from the US store with US dollars, the argument becomes a bit suspect (I know it is Apple's, not your argument).
it is just kind of a paradoxical situation and I am hoping Apple will offer some sort of solution. We can always hoe, right?
Thank you for your reply. -
TS3694 Need help immediately! I am at the end of my rope (in a foreign country).
i have researched to death the dreaded 1015 error, while trying to restore my iphone 3gs. i was on 4.2.1, and tried to restore through itunes to the newest 6.1.3. this phone was previously jailbroken and unlocked. any help would be greatly appreciated! i am in a foreign country, and need my phone for many things, especially to navigate from place to place.
Hey, I hope I am not too late.
In order for your port forwarding to work, you have to point it to the IP address of your router. On the setup page, about the middle of the page, there is a 192.168.1. then a box; place a value in the box, which will complete the ip for your router's port forwarding.
save it then, try again. Just did that on mine, I found alot of information on the www.portforward.com web site. -
I just lost my iphone5 in a foreign country. Was not able to previously register it with icloud and have not installed the findmy iphone app. How can i wipe out my data remotely without these setups? Is there any good app i can use to track it? Please help!
No, nothing you can do to track it if you did not take any measures before the loss.

I just lost my phone and I'm in a foreign country. I'm thinking I won't get it back, but I'm trying to log on to icloud.com to use find my iphone app. However for whatever reason the same Apple ID has a different password for itunes and icloud. I have no way of calling apple or retreiving my forgotten password online. What do I do?
Without the proper name and password there is nothing you can do.
Your old passord is needed before you can create a new one. -
New lync 2013 , 2 subdomains ,ad one domain in foreign country
As you can see in the picture below, I have the main AD called main.prod and two child1 and child2 subdomains. What is more I have AD called international.prod placed in foreign country. I have mbox, cas using child1.main.prod domain and
lync 2010 with UM funcion. The more I have 2way trust between child2.main.prod subdomain and international.prod domain. Now what I would like to do is : make CAS in subdomain child2.main.prod which is authorising people from domain international.prod
and have mailboxes on mbox from subdomain child1.main.prod as it is shown in the picture. Do you think it make sense? Or I have to make mbox in subdomain child2.main.prod????
WHat else: I would like resign Lync 2010 and install new Lync 2013 and make people from subdomains: child1 and child2 and domain international.prod using this new Lync ,and move UM funcionality from old 2010 lync into new 2013.
Any contraindications, suggestions??Lync Server supports the following topologies for Exchange UM integration:
Multiple domain (that is, a root domain with one or more child domains). Lync Server, and Microsoft Exchange servers are deployed in different domains from the domain where you create users. Exchange UM servers can be deployed in different
domains from the Lync Server pool they support.

Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......
