Help for buying mac from abroad

basically i want to buy a mac from the US but i live in england. so it will be posted to a friends auntie in the us and then was going to have her send it to me. but i heard there is high tax price to send it across. so does anyone have any idea how much it will cost? or has someone else done this before? thanks for any advice.

It's a simple matter to call UPS or Federal Express and find out what the shipping costs would be from the US to you. Call your customs office and find out what the duty, import taxes, and VAT would cost.
As Ned has said you will not have a UK configured machine which also means a US keyboard, US version of OS X installed, etc.
You will pay US shipping to your relative's location and US sales tax which averages around 7%. For a Mac Pro's basic price the sales tax will be roughly $175.00 USD and shipping another $40 USD. That totals about $215 USD or around 110 pounds. You will then pay VAT and import taxes plus shipping to the UK which I'm pretty sure will run more than 90 pounds total.
Seems pretty obvious to me that you are better off buying it locally.

  • Where do you buy more memory for a mac from??

    I know its possible to buy it. but can you buy it from apple? or from an outside company

    you can also buy them from newegg.com or amazon.com
    but purchase brand name RAM only like Crucial, Corsair, Mushkin, Patriot Mac Series.
    good luck

  • Purchasing help for the mac

    hi all.
    new to mac and relatively new to adobe. hoping for some guidance.
    i run a small design build firm and recently ported to the mac os while still running a couple of boot camp installs of windows and parallels with windows 7 on the laptop. I am currently using Aperture to get my images organized and have been reasonably happy with it.
    i am in need of a "poster - workflow" using something like indesign but i am sure i could also use photoshop (which I am familiar with) and illustrator (for various vector manipulations i imagine). i'll also be doing some modest print material, keynote presentations and i have a wordpress website/blog and will be updating a very old blog at some point in the future. i would also /love/ to have a way to manipulate 3D files into my print work in creative ways.
    can anyone give me the lowdown as to whether I should be buying the InDesign CS5 Suite that includes Photoshop, ID and AI (for the mac) and whether I need to look at Acrobat 3D (for Wind 7 because there is no Mac option for this)?
    I mention some tangential issues in case anyone can offer tangential advice and apologies if this is not exactly the right forum as I am just getting started on figuring out where to enter the discussion over here.
    TIA for any help.
    Jon

    thanks very much John.
    sorry, i have been trying to work my way through the mud over here.
    so the "poster workflow" would be something along the lines of a 24 x 36 inch set of poster boards for a competition and I'd ideally like to be able to set the images, update them and then have the poster update. I had a really pleasant experience with the ID demo a number of months ago so I'm totally sold on ID.
    i also do a lot of 3D modeling and expect to include "vector-based" images in some of these presentations. since i am familiar with photoshop i am also sold on photoshop. i've been on the mac for a year and a half and editing images has been a mess quite frankly without it. so i'm hoping to solve a number of problems.
    do you by any chance have any experience with the mac?
    i mean, i guess "CS5.5" is the suite of products mentioned above is that right? do i have any deals that i can work if i purchase this (pricewise)? I don't think I can hold off until 2Q 2012 which I assume means somewhere around March?
    Anyway, the other issue is that I am organizing images in Aperture and I can't quite figure out if I get a more economical workflow by moving to something like Lightroom. It would be great to not have to always export images out of aperture to get them into the AI, ID, Photoshop workflow. But I am not sure how Lightroom works with these three, either.
    Lastly, my look at Acrobat 3D /seemed/ like it was pretty robust. It appears that I can insert a 3D model into a pdf document and let others rotate it around in real time. It also appeared that it would let me do an "exploded axonometric" in a rather easy manner. the pain for me here is if it is only available on the windows platform.
    anyway, i realize some of this is rather specialized and that some of it is rather obtuse as I try and hack my way forward.
    any advice you can offer I'd be grateful for...
    regards.

  • The Price to Pay for Buying Tracks from the UK.... Apple Please respond

    Hi All at Apple,
    Please could you answer me this :
    Why do tracks from the UK site cost 0.79 GBP , when this is 0.11 GBP more expensive than those bought from the european sites ( 0.99 EUR converted to GBP )?
    (This is something of a steep price difference - especially when you consider buying an entire Album.)
    Also - as an owner of a Ipod Video , it'd be great to D/Load some TV Shows - but they're not available from the UK site - and You can't buy them from the US site ( tried - needs a US address for User Acct details...)
    When will TV Shows be available from the UK site?
    Many Thanks !!

  • Need help for record deletion from custom table

    Hi friends
    I have to write a custom program which will be generic to delete any table record with date field.
    This program needs to be generic (should be able to delete records from any custom table) in nature with selection screen parameters as:
    Table Name and Number of Days prior to which records are deleted, both mandatory.
    Program Flow:
    1.     From number of days calculate date before which records are deleted, ( current date u2013 no. of days = past date).
    2.     Custom table have date field, delete records prior to that date.
    3.     Program may be scheduled for background job, put default values for both fields. No. of days should not be less than 60.
    4.     Classical Report output with number of records deleted.
    My query is how will I know the name of the Date field so that I can write a DELETE query.
    If I use 'DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET' it gives me all field names but how to filter out?
    with regards
    samikhya

    Hi
    I have added  field on the selection screen as p_fieldname and got the F4 help for it , so that the user will get the field name run time as per the table name.
    Now I am facing problem while writing the DELETE query.
    I wrote like
    DELETE (fp_tab)
    where (fp_fieldname) LE date
    It is not working. I also tried with taking a string to concatenate fp_fieldname, LE and date to l_string
    when I write like this:
    DELETE (fp_tab)
    where (l_string) , sy-subrc is getting 4 and no records are getting deleted.
    I do not understand where the dynamic Delete is failing??
    with reagards

    Perhaps you could write to Apple at Apple, Inc.

    Cupertino, CA 95014
    USA and see if they have any materials that they could send you. Otherwise, I don't know if you have access to Facebook or something like that, you could set up a site there? What most people do though, is get together a user's group and meet to discuss all things Apple.

  • I have store credit in iTunes but want to buy an app for my mac from the App Store. How can i use the store credit?

    So i redeemed an Apple gift card worth £70 to my itunes account but i want to use it in the App Store to pay towards Logic Pro X. I can't find a way to transfer the credit, or find any evidence that its spendable in the app store.
    Has anyone had the same problem?

    When you purchase iTunes content, the balance from your gift card will be deducted automatically.
    You can check the balance of a redeemed card here > Account Home - Apple Store

  • Printing help for new MAC user

    I am a new MAC user trying convince myself this is better than a PC. I have been trying to 3 hours to figure out how to print in color with a document I've created in Pages. I am connected to a HP Photosmart wireless printer. Can someone help me?

    Hi jersey,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Pages '09 forum.
    Is this strictly a Pages/HP Photosmart issue, or do other applications share this inability to print in colour to this printer?
    About the only advice I can offer is to:
    1.
    Check the HP site for any updated drivers for your printer. Download and install if any are found.
    2.
    Check the printer's settings in the Print dialogue. Your printer may offer the choice, here or in it's utility application, to print using only the black toner cartridge.
    3.
    Try opening Pages from a different user account, and printing a new document from there. Success would indicate the issue lies in your user account, probably in a corrupted Pages preference (.plist) file.Go back to your usual account, locate the file and drag it to the trash. Try printing again from your usual account.
    If these don't help, I'd suggest reposting your question in the Printing, Faxing and Scanning forum in the Mac OS X v10.6 (Snow Leopard) section of Discussions.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Help for a mac beginner?

    A few years ago i was given a Blue & White PowerMac G3 as part of my "severance" when the web-dev company I worked for went out of business. It's been hanging around unused since then. I'm looking to use it strictly for writing projects and email -- nothing fancy. But I need to do some upgrades on it just to get the internet hookup. What route do I need to go to be able to get online and run MS Office 2001? Thanks for your help!
    Here are the specs --
    B/W PowerMac G3
    384MB
    PPC G3
    350MHz
    OS 8.6
    Two (2) internal hard drives of 6GB each.
    Apps: Illus 9, Photoshop 6, ATM Deluxe, BBEdit 5, Dreamweaver 3, Flash 4 & 5, Quark 4, InDesign 1.5, MS Office 2001
    Help!
    B/W G3   Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier  

    Hi, Brooklynmambo -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    But I need to do some upgrades on it just to get the internet hookup.
    What might those be?
    There are many folk still running OS 8.6 who have no problem getting on line, even using DSL. If your ISP has some specific requirements, please advise what those might be.
    The first thing to do, while it still has OS 8.6 on it, is to make sure the firmware on it has been updated. It is needful to do that before any late versions of OS 9 can be installed, and before installing OSX. You can download the applicable firmware updater from this Apple KBase page -
    Article #86117 - Firmware Updates
    Note - it's a good idea to print out the included instructions before updating the firmware.
    Once that is done, your machine should be good to go for all versions of OS 9, as is.
    However, it would not hurt to increase the RAM - adding one more 256MB module (which is the largest a B&W G3 can use) would be best; two of those would not hurt, especially if you plan to go on to OSX.
    Re going on to OSX -
    Your machine is rated for all versions of OSX released to date; it would be well to not consider any OSX version earlier than OSX 10.2. OSX 10.3 is probably one of the better choices for that model.
    You might want to consider replacing one of the two hard drives with a larger one, for use with OSX - it needs about 3GB of drive space to install, and runs best when there is at least 5GB of free space left afterwards.

  • Help for "crashed" Mac

    Good morning!
    I have a new Macbook (my first Mac computer), and my Navy work requires me to use a Common Access Card (CAC) reader to access certain websites. I installed the Mac version of ActivCard Gold v 2.2 for my USB reader. The installation was complete, but when I restarted my computer, MAC OS starts to load and then abruptly jumps to a "Darwin" (DOS-like) screen and asks me for a login and password. I tried my user ID and password, but it won't let me past this screen.
    How do I recover? Help!
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    -Billy

    Did you buy it new or used? If it was new what OS did it ship with? If used you need to make sure the hardware is compatible with Snow Leopard. If it is compatible you would just need to insert the DVD and boot to the DVD by holding c on startup. Enter Utilities and format the drive to Mac OS X extended journaled. Then Install the OS on the formatted HD.

  • Little help for calling report from a form

    hi,
    I AM NOT ABLE TO CALL THE REPORT WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE. PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I AM DOING WRONG! THANKS A LOT!!
    It is Oracle 9i and Reports 6i.
    -> I have a form with only one BUTTON.
    -> I have a REPORT with only one USER PARAMETER 'P_1' which is a number.
    -> I have only one query INSIDE the report. It is "SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO = :P_1'
    -> I added the report to form in the OBJECT NAVAVIGATOR of FORM and the NAME OF REPORT is 'REOPRT4'
    here is the code on the form:
    ================================
    When_button_pressed
    DECLARE
    vid report_object;
    vname varchar2(100);
    BEGIN
    vid := find_report_object('Report4');
    vname := run_report_object(vid);
    END;
    ==================================
    -> the FORM and REPORT are in "c:\helloworld" directory.
    -> the error I am getting is 'internal pl/sql error'
    -> I WANT THE USER TO ENTER THE RUNTIME PARAMETER FOR THE REPORT AT RUNTIME, so no need to worry about supplying the parameter through code!!!
    Thank You very much. I appreciate your kind help!!

    I think that you have to add some code, see page 15 in this:
