Country of purchase

How to find the country of purchase of iPhone 2G?

Chances are it is from the US.
The original iPhone was only sold in a couple of countries, US, UK, France, & Germany come to mind. There may have been a few others though.
As far as finding out the origin it is abut of a crap shoot.

  • I need to use up all my credits in ITunes but only have $.25. How do I do this as nothing is worth $.25? The reason I need to do this is to change my country for purchases on my Credit Card that is not a US credit card

  • HT201272 i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store.

    i can't see my purchased apps in itunes on new ipad mini. when I go into the itunes store. It shows nothing. I haven't changed my ID or country of purchase. It shows that I would have to rebuy them when I go into the store. Is there something in settings on Itunes I need to change? I do not have cloud.

    Yes I am looking in the app store. When I look in Itunes on my computer and look at purchased apps it is there. And when I go on my other device and look at apps purchased all apps are there.
    The new ipad doesn't show any apps purchased when I click on apps purchased and when I search the app store it doesn't show it is purchased. I am wondering if I am just missing something...need to turn something on in options or something. Never had this problem with previous ipad when I set it up.

  • If i buy an unlocked iphone 4s in the usa will it work in Australia? and will the warranty be valid in astralia as i have been told that apple have a world wide after sales service but also been told warranties are only valid in the country of purchase

    If i buy an unlocked iphone 4s in the usa will it work in Australia? and will the warranty be valid in astralia as i have been told that apple have a world wide after sales service but also been told warranties are only valid in the country of purchase? Cheers

    Each country is a separate business. If Apple in Australia fixes a phone purchased in another country it reduces their profit. The good news is that Apple stores will frequently replace phones purchased in other countries under warranty, but they are not required to do so. Some countries are more liberal than others. India never does, for example.
    Why don't you just buy it in Australia? The price difference can't be that great.

  • Can I have my iPhone 5 serviced out of the country of purchase?

    I have two iPhone 5's, mine (Model: MD298DN/A, Serial: C3*******TWF, iOS: 7.1.2) and my wife's (Model: MD297DN/A, Serial: C3*******TWD, iOS: 7.1.2), both are eligible for the Battery and Sleep Button Replacement Programs. I work for the US Department of State and move every two to three years. The phones were purchased November of 2012 in Frankfurt, Germany, while I was posted there; however, I am currently posted to Bangkok, Thailand, with no plans to return to Germany. I just brought my phones into a service center in Thailand and was informed that I would have to return to Germany or have permission from Apple, to have the service performed out of the country of original purchase. Could you please issues this permission for both phones? Thank you in advance for your time and attention.
    Regards,

    Do not post your serial numbers on this public website.  Had you read the terms of this forum, you would know not to do that, and also know that Apple doesn't review these forums.
    Edit: Additionally, the first serial number you provided isn't a valid Apple Serial number.  The second one is.  I assume that's a typo on your part.

  • ITunes Match won't recognize albums bought in another country as purchased

    Hi all,
    momentarely I'm quite dissapoibted with iTunes match.
    I have a library with 26k titles - over 2'700 bought in iTunes, the rest is my digitalized CD-Library or bough via amazon.
    in 2010 I moved from germany to switzerland and changed the country in iTunes - the ID is the same.
    Now it seems that all my purchases in the german iTunes store aren't recognized by match as purchase.
    correct would it look like this:
         26'783  total
    -       2'752   purchased in iTunes
    =    24'031atch (clearly under the stupid 25k limit)
    how iTunes calculates:
         26'783  total
    -        702  recognized as purchase by iTunes-match
    =   26'063  to match (over the stupid 25k limit)
    I contacted iTunes-support.
    I told them my suspicion that it may be related to the move, she said that it wouldn't matter only to correct this statement after a couple of weeks.
    After a month she wrote me that this is a fact and is not be seen as a problem.
    Pointing out that this is clearly not what was advertised, she answered me:
    "I want to point out, that 25'000 songs are a fair amount and I suggest to renew your songs, and exchange older ones with new ones."
    I find that answer for a represantive of af a music download store quite arrogant, and told her that I now would like to speak to her Teamleader, which she denied with the comment, that she is as high as it gets.
    Has anyone else experienced something like this or an idea how to solve this?
    cheers
    Erik

    There is no neat solution, this is how iTunes Match operates.
    One work around would be to export on CD and re-import (for the purchases) and to re-rip for existing CDs - it will work but is time consuming.

  • Switched country, now purchased apps are not recognized as purchased?

    I've had my U.S. account for several years but recently switched the country of that AppleID to a Canadian account. I was pre-warned about the updates only being available on the iOS device which was acceptable.
    However, I've noticed that if I delete an app purchased previously on my U.S. account (say, Waze, for example), download under the same AppleID now in Canada, delete it again, and try to download it, it does not maintain the cloud-with-arrow download icon but instead prompts me again to "Get" the app as if I had never purchased it in EITHER country.
    Anyone notice the same issue?

    Thanks Carolyn... I tried that but they are still not showing up. I ended up going to their support page and filled out a form with a description of the problem. I hope that I get a response soon.
    Just in case, the link for the form is below.

  • Software update outside the country of purchase no...

    Hello,
    I am new to this dicussion group but not to Nokia phones. I have owned 4 Nokia phones since I started using cellphones and I have regularly updated (whenever available) the software version of the phones using the Nokia Software Updater (NSU) pre-Ovi and now the Nokia Ovi Suite v 3.1.1.90.
    I am currently based in Nepal but I had purchased my current Nokia phone, Nokia X7-00, in Singapore in July this year. While updating the software version from Symbian Anna v 22.014 to v25.007, which was shown available when I connected the phone on 2nd November 2011, using the Nokia Ovi Suite, the phone switched off automatically and never turned back on. At the start of the updating process, I had ensured the battery was at 100%. The phone switched off after completion of the download of the new update, and during the installation process. The Ovi Suite reported a loss of connection with the device, and advised me to hold down the power and menu button for ten seconds, and reconnect the device. I followed this but the phone failed to start. 
    I reported this incident to Nokia Singapore via email, and I got a response which took me by surprise. The response states that the reason of failure could be because of the incompatibility of the software update available in my country with the phone bought in Singapore, even though they are of the same type. I quote, " With regard to this matter, we would like to inform you that it is advisable for you to update the phone software of your Nokia X7-00 in the country where the said Nokia device is intended to be sold in order to prevent issues in updating the phone's software. In your case, kindly be reminded that the software update that you had for your Nokia X7-00 is only compatible with devices that are intended for sale in the said country where you did the said update."
    For people like me, who could be based in various locations for a significant amount of time, this is quite a disadvantage. If this is true, Nokia should be "advising" people a lot more about this country based software update restriction. Nokia Singapore has told me that in spite of this, their resources say that my device is still under warranty. It's a bit of a hassle but I have no choice.
    Considering Nokia advertise and recommend their Ovi Suite tremendously, for software updates (along with the other advantages), I think they should also:
    1.) be more informative regarding this restriction.
    2.) make the Ovi Suite more "intelligent" by letting you update the phone with the correct update, regardless of the location. They should make the software update process more product-centric than location-centric. Is this not possible?
    I would love to hear your views.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi pranay_shrestha,
    It seems that you have been given incorrect information by our contact centre, for which we can only apologise.
    Fender77 is correct, when you update your device software, the system reads your phone's product code and delivers the correct software version for your device, where you happen to be in the world makes no difference.
    It can occasionally happen that something prevents the update completing correctly. You could try to restart your non-functioning X7 device by holding down the green, red and camera keys, press the power switch. If the phone is able to star, keep the red, green and camera keys pressed at least until the Nokia handshake logo appears.
    If this does not work, you would need to consult a local Nokia Care point to get your phone repaired.
    If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.

  • Yet another cross-country store purchase question...

    Right, so http://store.apple.com/us/help/gifting says that you CAN send gifts to some specific "other countries" from the U.S. Store.
    All the threads that I read on this forum regarding cross-border gifting just end with "it is not possible, sorry, too bad for you" etc. Yet the gifting page specifically states it is possible within the context of specific countries.
    It also says you have to purchase within the specific country store. That makes sense, I want to gift an app to someone in Indonesia, so I should go into iTunes, switch to Indonesia store, and purchase the app, hence no cross-border BS on different stores.
    The problem is that once I click on "purchase" "gifting an app" or whatever to try to buy the thing in the Indonesia iTunes store, it ask for Apple ID log-in. Which immediately kicks me out of the country store (in this case Indonesia) and back to the U.S. Store.
    And nothing I can find in the U.S. Store that says anything about international gifting to those countries specified in that gifting advisory page.
    So has anyone figured out how in blazes to gift to those countries stated in the "Gifting outside of the U.S." advisory? I'd like a step by step walkthrough on how to do this if anyone has a clue, because otherwise that advisory is sure as **** misleading, confusing and unhelpful.

    The page you linked to refers to the online Apple Store, which sells Macs, Mac accessories, and Mac OS X software. It doesn't apply to the iTunes Store, which sells music, videos, books, and iOS software.

  • HT1689 Hello I traveled outside the country and now my ipad cannot update or purchase apps. It tells me to switch the the USA store to continue; therefore how can I change the purchasing process to the USA store?

    How can I swicth stores in order to update or purchase apps.
    I am currently in a different country and I do not know why it changed stores to the local country store. I need to change it to the USA store to perfom updates and purchases?
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you

    Here's a little more information from a previous post:
    iTunes Store content is country specific. When you change countries, you no longer receive app update notifications on your iOS device or in iTunes for the apps you purchased in your original country, nor do those Apps appear on your new country's Purchased page.
    However, you will still be able to download those applications again for free if they are present on your new country's store (even if they are updated).You will not be charged and the download will not appear on your Purchased page. If a previously purchased app is not available in your new country, you will not be able to download it again.
    The following article describes how to review your account's purchase history so that you may view the titles of the Apps you previously purchased:

  • Purchase and then change country location.  I travel a lot.

    Can I change my store location to Indonesia and purchase what I need, then switch back to the USA store and everything will still work and be authorized for use?
    If I change my store location, will everything I bought in the USA store still work while I'm in Indonesia or Thailand?
    Can I switch back later?

    If you are in Indonesia then you can change your country and billing details on your account to be your Indonesia details - you need to be in a country to use its store, so you can only use the Indonesian store whilst you are in Indonesia.
    Your US purchases should continue to work whilst you are there, though if they are location-specific apps (e.g. some TV channel apps may only work whilst you are within a particular country), but you won't be able to redownload another country's purchases whilst you are not in that country.
    You can switch country's as long as you don't have a balance on your account or have outstanding rentals or series passes (or are using iTunes Match)

  • Replacement Service for an iphone which is purchased in another country

    Hi,
    I have an iphone5 which its proximity sensor does not work. In Australia I went to Melbourne Apple Center and after inspection they want to replace it with a new one, but after seeing its part number (including LL/A), they refuse to replace it because it is not an Australian iphone. It should be noted that I also have an applecare service for my iphone. Now I am really confused what I shall do for this case. I cannot go to USA at the moment and I need my iphone which now it's really useless for calling when I do not want to use handsfree. My current apple support case number is 426298085 and I have D87469214, 426306629 and D87468601 apple service request numbers which have been canceled due to the mentioned reason.
    More easy and better customer services are really expected from apple. I am one of your loyal customer who is sad of your bad services in this case. Please guide me how could I replace my phone at the earliest possible time.
    Regards,
    Hamed

    From applecare protection plan for iphone:
    "6.2 Apple reserves the right to change the method by which Apple may provide repair or replacement service to you, and your Covered Equipment’s eligibility to receive a particular method of service. Service will be limited to the options available in the country where service is requested. Service options, parts availability and response times may vary according to country. You may be responsible for shipping and handling charges if the Covered Equipment cannot be serviced in the country it is in. If you seek service in a country that is not the country of purchase, you will comply with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and be responsible for all custom duties, V.A.T. and other associated taxes and charges. For international service, Apple may repair or exchange defective products and parts with comparable products and parts that comply with local standards."
    Haha. Known issue maybe means there are several numbers of replacement for this reason. A quick internet search shows such a thing...
