1. Don't do it and waste your money
2. The US prices exclude Tax which is added at the till depending on state and can be upto 15% more than the quoted price. All EU retail prices are required to include local taxes and import duties by regulation.
3. On return to the EU you are liable for 22% VAT on your purchase
4. The iPhone does NOT have an international warranty.It breaks you are stuffed.
5. The US models do NOT support all European LTE frequencies .None support the Band 7 (2600mhz) frequency being deployed by many European Mobile networks.
6. Buy locally if you want all functionality warranty support and when taxes are included the prices are pretty much the same anyway.

  • I have an old Iphone 3g and want to buy a new iphone but am afraid I will lose my contacts list

    I want to buy a new Iphone.  I currently have an old 3g.  I want to be sure that I don't lose the contacts on my phone.  I have some numbers on there that are not on my contacts list that is on my ipad.  How do I do this?

    To sync contacts to your new iPhone you want to first
    1: Connect iPhone 3G to computer with the latest version of iTunes (11.0.4.)
    2: From there click under the device summary and look for your iPhone.
    3: You should be on a page that should say summary on the top part of your phone where it'll say "Summary, info, music, applications, etc.
    4: Click on Info and then you should see a box where you can put a check mark next to the words, "Sync Contacts."
    5: Sync your contacts
    Option 2:
    1: Go to the summary page as described above and make a backup of your iPhone 3g onto your iTunes
    2: connect your iPhone 5 and then open up the summary page
    3: ON the summary page you want to click on "Restore backup" and select the backup you JUST made today (check the time stamp)
    4: THis should put all your contacts, pictures, and settings from your old phone onto your new phone with no issues
    HOpe this helped

  • I want to buy a new iphone and use it like an ipod, what do I need to do to make it work?

    Okay, I know people say I should just buy an iPod instead... but I want better quality. If I buy the iPhone 5s unlocked, what sim card do I need to get to get just to activate the new device, and not pay a monthly fee. I already have a phone and I have wifi... so I just want to use the iPhone with wifi. Some say you should use an old/ deactivated sim card to activate it, but I'm not sure that will work. When I look on ebay to purchase one, they say not for new or fisrt time activations. What should I do???

    virgin mobile sells the iphone 5s and because its month to month just dont put the sim card in the phone and it wont ever be activated you can use it like a regular iphod touch, my little brother does this but we bought a ipod 4th generation for 100 dollars took the sim card out and use it as a ipod for him

  • I recently bought the new iPhone 5s in Singapore, but i'm not able to use 4g or LTE in Portugal. Why?

    Hi Guys.
    I recently went to Singapor for work, and i bought the new iPhone 5s unblocked. The lady told me i would be able to use 3g, 4g and Lte in Europe, and since i need to travel a lot, i decided to bought the iPhone. I started using my iPhone today but i can't have access to 3g, 4g or LTE.
    What do i need to do?
    Thanks for your support.

    Yes, at an Apple Store. I just solved my problem. I went to Vodafone and they told me it is normal to be without 3g for a while because it's a new nano card. They didn't guarantee that i'll have 4g and LTE but at least the 3g is working now.
    But thanks for your support

  • I have gotten my iTouch 4th Gen stolen and want to locate it using Find My iPhone. It has the app on it but I'm not sure if it is signed into iCloud. Can I remotely sign it into iCloud?

    What can I do so that I can see where it is and remote lock it?

    If you weren't signed in, it's too late to do so now. Go to http://icloud.com and see if it can be tracked.

  • Can I buy the new iPhone 5S in Germany and hold the warranty for in Belgium?

    I want to buy the new iPhone 5S in Germany. Is there a problem when I use the iPhone in Belgium? I heard there is always a worldwide limited warranty of 1 year. Is this correct?

    If I don't have problems, there is no problem. But if I have a problem with the iPhone, can I go to an official Apple store in Belgium so they can send it to any place for repair?
    Apple in Belgium will handle the iPhone in exactly the same way had you purchased the iPhone in Belgium
    as long as it comes from another EU country .Apple do not repair they exchange for a refurbished unit if a warranty issue or charge for an Out of Warranty exchange  unit if you have damaged or caused the issue through misuse

  • I just got a retro clock from brookstone and in setting it up it asked if I want to use current location which is incorrectly "Buffalo" but I do not know how to change it.  Can anyone help me find where to change location?

    As I understand it, Apple gets your location from the wi-fi router to which your iPod is connected.  Location Services identifies the router and then checks for its location in Apple's database.  If the router has been recently relocated or if there is a glitch in Apple's database, you will get an incorrect location.  I don't think that there is anything you can do about it.  You could send Apple a message about the error, but I doubt if they would do anything about it.

    You have to change it using iTunes on your computer, as explained here: Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support.  (This article: iCloud: View or change your iCloud payment information no longer works with iOS 8 or Yosemite.)

    I have set up iTunes Match on only 3 devices (my Windows 7 desktop and 2 iPhones) and am now trying to authorise my new Windows 8 (Toshiba) laptop but I keep failing to authorise the laptop using my one-and-only Apple ID. Does anyone have advice to solve this problem?!

    Hi all.  I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues.  Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
    But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem.  …without even a re-boot.
    Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
    Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive.  Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab.  Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
    Open the Users folder.
    Open your user folder
    Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
    Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
    Open the Installer Cache folder
    In Details view sort on Name
    Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
    Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
    When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco.  The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”.  Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
    I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
    For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear.  Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
    Good luck…

  • HT201272 So I preorered an album from iTunes and now it won't download into my libraray.  It says that I purchased it on iTunes, but it won't even show up in the "Purchsed" library in my account. Does anyone know what I am supposed to do to downlaod it?

    If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button.  If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

  • Lost my contacts list and try to restore from backup and it ask for my password to unlock my iphone backup. I don't remember creating a password for it. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Lost my contacts list and try to restore from backup and it ask for my password to unlock my iphone backup. I don't remember creating a password for it. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    If you encrypted the backup, there is no way around it. You will need to configure your iPhone as a new device.
    From iTunes: About iOS backups:
    In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

  • I bought a new Epson printer WR-7620 on Saturday and the Air Printer is not working. I spoke to Epson and they said it is an Apple problem, can anyone help. Thanks Peter

    Peter,
    deggie gave you that link so you'd know that airprint is a reduced-options print system, designed for mobile devices (not Macs), and you need to use the specific airprint driver on the Mac when adding the printer if you want Airprint, no-options printing. Otherwise, select the "non-airprint" driver when you add the printer.
    It may be helpful to Reset the Printing System to get OS X to find the right driver.
