Help! iPhone purchase/setup.

Im going to be moving to the US next month for
college.
Since I am an international student, I will not have
a social security number.
From what I have read, iPhone either needs a SSN OR
an AT&T pre-approved credit check code for setup.
What I want to know is - what exactly is the credit
check code? Will I need to have previously opened an
account with AT&T?
Or can I just walk into the Apple Store, buy an
iPhone, and set it up myself with iTunes as
advertised, even though I don't have an SSN.
How do I get the credit check code?
Would you recommend buy the iPhone through AT&T?
Sorry I know thats a lot of questions, but Im really
confused.
Thanks.
The preapproved credit check code, I believe, is something you could get by calling AT&T now and getting set up to have an account with them that will be available when you get here. Don't quote me on that though... I am most certainly not "in-the-know" on that one.
I DO know, however, that you do not need a SSN to get an iPhone. One of the options, that can be chosen by not supplying a SSN, is the AT&T GoPhone plan. It's a little more expensive for the minutes you get (200 vs. the 450 at $50/month) but it allows you to skip the contractual obligation.
In your situation, I would recommend getting your iPhone from the AT&T store so you can do all of your account set up in person if you don't get a credit code in advance. If you can do it over the phone, as I previously suggested, go ahead and go to an Apple store because I always prefer the neat toys and friendly staff there... grin

Hi newyorker2014,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue. If you are no longer seeing the app in question on your iPhone, but it is showing as purchased on the App Store, you should be able to redownload it directly. You may find the following article helpful:

The phone is useless unless you can contact the previous owner. There is nothing anyone can do to help. If you are able to contact, the following contains instructions on what they need to do: iCloud: Activation Lock

Using my iphone purchased from japan in the united states

I am US Millitary stationed in japan and would like to know what i have to do to use my Iphone in the states?

Sell your iPhone in Japan and buy a new one when you get to the US.
All iPhones sold in Japan are locked to the selling carrier and none of
the carriers offer unlocking. You will not be able to use an iPhone purchased
in Japan when you get to the US.
Thank you for your service.

Hello, I want to know if an iPhone purchased in the United States 4S can operate in France. Thank you for your response.

(unlocked of course). Sorry for my English but I am French

The officially unlocked GSM version will work just fine. However, that model is currently only available through Apple's online store, I don't believe stock has reached brick/mortar stores yet, you'll have to check.
Why do you want to purchase in the US? Your warranty & support will only be valid in the US, and you can purchase officially unlocked iPhones in France that have an EU wide warranty. Doesn't make any sense to me.

URGENT HELP master export setup

URGENT HELP master export setup
Hi,
I tried to search in the forum before I sent this request and I did not find my answer.
I am using Production suite CS4, Windows 7. I am trying to figure out whatr is the best export setups (codec) to send to the post captioned place who works with Final cut pro. It is a 45 min documentayy shot on hxp170 that will be broadcasted on APTN channel (standard and HD). I shot 720p 24 fps (native) My files are 1.33 pixel ratio.
I want the best quality possible regardless of the size of the file.
Can Avid DNxHD codec work? (I googled and did not find a proper answer)
Also a problem: I tried to export an MXF version and an uncompressed AVI. I used Sapphire plug ins (cartoon, film scratch, glow etc) and with some export setup, it make some clips slide up or left of the screen!!! Anyone had that before?
Also: should I export 24 fps or 23.976?
Thanks a lot.

Is this a Premiere Pro question or an After Effects question? Probably better off in the AE forum...

In reference to your first question, it might be worth asking them what they WANT. They may have a preferred pre-broadcast format, and if you can supply that, it may save your material from being transcoded (again).

I had this problem on my iPod Touch 4g. Just press the home and sleep button. Wait and it will give an iTunes and cable logo. Now you can put in DFU mode (Hold Sleep and Home button 10 seconds and then release the power button kand keep pressing on the home button.) Now you will be able to restore it in iTunes.
If you didn't sell it in al this time

Hello johnohuk,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

Hi
I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
Cheers for you help.

Help, I purchased a used iPad. When I try to register the serial number. It says it's already registered. How do I reregister my iPad under a new user?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's because the old owner still has it as a registrated device on his/her Apple ID. Contact with him/her and ask to remove the registrated device from the Apple ID, so you will be able to register it as your iPad
