Exchange IPad 3 for iPad 4, return a US purchased IPAD 3

Hi, I just purchased a iPad 3 from US. Now the new iPad 4 launched, anything I can do to exchange it for the iPad 4 /refund it in the UK?
Update: I just called the apple store at covert garden. They said I can return the iPad 3 with 30 days of purchasing if it's bought in the UK. They can't do anything with my US purchased one unless I post it back to US.
REALLY? Nothing I can do here? Is there any international policy to cover it.
Im really gutted when the iPad 4 was launched.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The question is why did you buy an iPad from the US if you live in the UK?

  • How do I set up my old ipad for my daughter and get my new ipad up and running?

    I want to remove me from an older ipad and set it up for my daughter and then set up my new one.

    Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
    There are a few steps to do:
    Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
    Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
    Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
    Now you can sell/give.
    You can share your books, music and apps with your daughter using the purchasing Apple ID in
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > purchasing Apple ID here.
    Get another Apple ID using a valid e-mail address for her so that she can use the other Apple services e.g. Game Center, iMessage, FaceTime etc.

  • HT203167 I just purchased 3 movie rentals and transferred them to my Ipad for an upcoming trip. Today my Ipad crashed and had to be restored to factory. Everything was restored thru the cloud but can't locate my rentals on my computer or ipad. Waht to do?

    I just purchased 3 movie rentals for an upcoming trip and transfered to my Ipad. Today my Ipad crashed and I cant find my rentals on itunes. How can i get them back?

    you dont. you can ask for credit and wait weeks for it and try downloading again only for it to most likely fail again when you want to watch it. Get netflix and computer with a disk player.

  • HT4623 It doesnt have the option on my sons iPod or my daughters iPad for "software update". My other daughters iPad did. Why is it not on the other two . We bought them all at the same time. They are all same year

    IPod says operating 4.3.5 (8L1) model MC540LL plus my daughters iPad 2 doesn't show the software update option either. My other daughter also has iPad 2 and I was able to update hers last night

    The two without the "software update" are probably running a version of iOS prior to 5.
    To upgrade them they will need to be connected to computer with the USB cable and upgraded using iTunes.

  • US iPad in the UK; return/exchange?

    My mum just placed an order in the US Apple Online Store for an iPad 2 as a birthday gift for me; she plans to send it to me when it arrives. I've just read, and was disheartened by, reports that many are experiencing severe backlight bleeding with their new iPad 2s. (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1114606)
    Here's my question: *Do Apple Stores in the UK accept returns or, more importantly, do exchanges/repairs for Apple products purchased elsewhere?*
    If my iPad 2 arrives and I find the screen has some serious bleed-through, will I be able to take it to the nearest Apple Store and have them exchange or repair it?

    You should have no problems with a repair if it's a wireless or GSM model. Apple includes the caveat since not all model may be serviceable in all countries. The UK Apple Stores are unlikely to have replacement units for the Verizon CDMA model, for instance.
    It would be best, though, if you can have your mom or someone else check out the iPad before she ships it to you and can address any problems before the iPad is sent to you.
    Regards.

  • Exchanged ipad for new, same problems with wifi

    no cure for either unit, return for refund the only answer, none of the "tricks" listed work, all I want is a product that works, this ain't it.

    Before you return it, did you try the "lowering Brightness" fix?
    I, too, exchanged my iPad after having wi-fi issues. The second iPad suffered from the same problems. And yes, I did reconfigure my Router's settings according to Apple's suggestions--but that didn't work. So I ran across this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2391395&tstart=30. I tried the solution discussed in that thread, and now my iPad's wifi works normally.
    Hope that helps somewhat.
    (And I disagree that a customer should have to purchase a different router simply because the iPad isn't conducive to mainstream routers. The iPad was advertised as compatible with mainstream wifi routers. We, the consumers, should not bear the burden for its incompatibility. Plus, try going to your local coffeeshop and telling them to get a new router because your iPad isn't compatible with their "low end" router).

  • Can I return the engraved new iPad (3 gen) for iPad 4?

    Hello,
    I bought the new iPad 7 days ago(10/16/2012), and new the iPad (4 gen) is coming!! That's ridiculous!
    Can I return the iPad 3 for iPad 4?
    It's new, bought on 10/16/2012.  And it's engraved.
    Thank for any helpful reply!!

    Me too, very upset about this. I have a friend who is travelling the US now and I had him buy me an ipad 3 just a week ago, now I want to exchange it for the newer ipad, or at least get the money back. The problem is he's there for work so he's been travelling non stop, thus he might not be able to go back to the apple store he bought my ipad anymore, I don't know if he still can exchange or get a refund of it or not. He still has the receipt but already opened the box and activated that ipad
    If you don't wanna lose loyal customers, let us exchange the newer one or give back the money at any of your store Apple.

  • I purchased an IPad 3 in Oct. I heard you could exchange it for the Ipad 4. Is that true???

    I purchased an Ipad 3 in Oct 2012 then the new Ipad 4 came out. I heard there was an exchange program if you wanted to go to Ipad 4. Is that true???

    If there ever was a program like that - it is over now. Some Apple stores were allowing iPads that had been purchased with the last 30 days to be returned for a refund - extending the usual 14 day return policy - but that has long passed.
    You could never exchange the device anyway. You could return it for a refund and then buy another one,

  • I just bought an iPad 2, can I exchange it for ipad3?

    I just bought an iPad 2, can I exchange it for an ipad3? I just got this one 3 weeks ago

    If you purchased your iPad from the Apple Store within the last fourteen calendar days, then you can return it. If it was longer ago than that, then no, you cannot do a return. If you purchased from another dealer, that dealer's return policy if any would apply.  
    Regards.

  • Return iPad for iPad 2?

    Hi I guys I recently bought my iPad on 27 of February. I thought there would be no iPad 2 since past thursday after that day i got very sad but my dad said that he heard that if you bought your ipad recently you could exchange it for ipad 2 for $100 dlls.He heard that in some radio stations. Now, is that true?

    Hi,
    You can return an iPad within 14 days of purchase for an exchange or refund.
    Whatever is heard on a radio station, can't be trusted.
    Apple Refund Policy here.
    The new iPad will be available March 11th as noted here. http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipad/family/ipad/start/select?mco=MjE zNTIwNzE
    May have heard this? http://blog.gadgethelpline.com/apple-offering-100-refund-ipad-customers-2-weeks/
    Two weeks is still beyond the 14 day refund policy in your case unfortunately.

  • Exchanging IPad for different model

    I recently received a new iPad 4 as a promotion for attending a work related class. this iPad is brand new still unopened in the box. The iPad I received was 16 GB model and I wanted to exchange it for a64 or 128 GB model and pay the difference. I went to one of the local Apple stores to see about return the unit and getting a different model. I was told by an employee that since I didn't by the Ipad from the Apple store that could not exchange. I was told by the Apple employee that about the only thing I could do is try to sell the iPad on eBay or some other place like that. Really Apple the best you can do is tell me to sell the iPad on eBay? This a brand new iPad sealed in the box. It has UPC code and serial number on the box and everything and all you can tell me to do is sell it? is this the customer support Apple is famous for giving? This is a new Apple product and all I am wanting to do is exchange it for a model with more memory and pay the difference. I currently have 3 iPhones and 2 iPads in my house today, but after my experience at the Apple store I am questioning if I want to buy any more Apple products in the future. It may be time to switch to a company that actually values its customers and does their best to make sure they are satisfied customers!!!

    You can only get a refund from Apple if you return the item within 14 days of purchase.
    Your only option is to sell the iPad and buy a new one.

  • Exchanging 3 week old iPad for the iPad Air..?

    My iPad 1 finally died about three weeks ago and I use it for work daily so I had to pick up a new iPad at that time.
    Three weeks later and it's already a generation behind.   lol
    Does anyone know if Apple would let me return or exchange it for the iPad Air when it comes out next week?
    Thanks

    The exchange period has been extended in the past. IIRC, there were instances of 'return this for a credit that can be used towards the purchase of....', but only apple knows if they will do that with this release.

  • HT204370 I paused the movie download but did not turn off my IPad.  When I returned to restart, it has said "waiting" for over an hour.

    I paused the movie download but did not turn off my IPad.  When I returned to complete the download, the "waiting" message has been on the screen for over an hour.  How can I complete the download?

    I recommend purchasing lion on a USB drive at Apple Store. This will avoid all of the downloading hassles.
    Also, be sure you clone your hard drive first. A lot of people want to go back to Snow Leopard and if you choose to do this cloning will make the process very easy.
