Hi, I live in the UK and am travelling back home (Colombia) in a week or so. I was thinking of buying an iPhone 5s down there.

The question is: Can I use it back in the UK (I dont mind paying to get it unlocked) and use it in India and SE Asia as I will be travelling for six months from January? Thanks!

The biggest problem you will find is that the purchase of a phone in the US means the warranty is only good in the US. Something happens with the phone and you have to bring it back to the US for warranty service.
Secondly, the device sold in the United States does not support LTE outside of North America, so it will not support the LTE bands in Australia.

  • I have an ipod touch 5.1, live in the us and travelling to South Africa. Do I need a voltage converter?

    I have an ipod touch.  I live in the us and am travelling to South Africa.  Do I need a voltage converter?

    Many wall charger are universal voltage (110 to 220 VAC) and frequency (50 or 69 Hz). However, you may need a plug adopter to mate with the receptacles in the country.
    The charger will have written on it the voltage and frequency.

  • I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?

    I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?

    In earlier years you can go th an Apple Store, buy a Macbook Pro and ask for a replacement to a other type of keyboard. I do this 2-3 times in the last years for german keyboards. If you done this on the same day you bought the macbook, the replacement happened without charge anything. It was a great service.
    Yesterday i go back to the same store like before and both - the sales representative and the guys an the GeniusBar told me - that this is not offered by Apple anymore. Because the US Apple Online Store do not offer other Keyboards the US-based keyboards and the German Apple Online Store do not deliver to other countries the final conglusion from the Apple Stuff was:
    Flight to germany, but it over their.
    I see here in the Support community a lot of questions about norwegian, german and other kind of keyboards they want to buy in the US. Their is obviously a need for this. And from the logistic standpoint, it should be easy for Apple to offer that in the Online Stores itself.
    For me the conglusaion is: I stay with my old Macbook Pro and hope i need no replacement within the next years. To order it in germany, ship it to a friend, pay taxes twice (in germany and vur customers) plus shipment, make it to expensive (bottonline: 600-800$ more than buy it in the US) make no sense to me.

  • I live outside the US and am confused if i should get a locked or unlocked Iphone 4s?

    I live outside the US and probably will not move their either. I am confused if i should purchase a locked or unlocked IPhone 4S. I travel frequently but buy a sim card for each country i travel so i want a phone that i can insert any sim card into. At the same time i also want it so that if i move to the US it will work their too. PLZ HELP FAST!!

    Did you read the specs I linked to? All iPads have a sim card slot for local sim cards regardless of where worldwide. Again, a local carrier must offer local iPad data plans and a local sim card.
    The Verizon, etc. carrier designations only have significance in the USofA where two networks are avaialable, GSM and CDMA. In the USofA if you subscribe to a USofA carrier using CDMA then you must purchase the iPad designed to use CDMA. But again and per the specifications,  any post iPad2 iPad, GSM or CDMA will work worldwide on GSM networks.

    Hello - I live in the UAE and my itunes account is regsitered here. Unfortunately the choice of music is not as good as when my account was registered in the UK. I cannot register my account in the UK as my bank details are all in the UAE now. HELP!

    Sorry, but no help is possible. You can only use the UAE iTunes Store, and Apple can only offer what content they are able to license for sale in that country. You'll have to look elsewhere for content. Whether there are any other download stores able to sell in the UAE I don't know. You may need to purchased CDs and import them into iTunes.

    Doesn't matter.  That store is likely selling illegit iphones, brought oin from somewhere else.
    The fact remains the UAE government does not allow Facetime on iphones legitimately sold there.

    Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
    If it was never registered to your account then it won't appear on your support profile : https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    The only other ways to find it that I know of (apart from on the actual device) are via the packaging, the backup on a computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4061

    I deleted Live bookmarks in v3 and have no back-up! How can I reinstall the option?

    It is probably not wise to leave your e-mail and phone number on a public forum.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    You purchase one download only.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

  • HT1689 Can i combine my husbands contacts and mine if we have two different itune accounts and emails and passwords?  Can both sets of contacts live on the cloud and be donwloaded to both our phones?

    Can i combine my husbands contacts and mine if we have two different itune accounts and emails and passwords?  Can both sets of contacts live on the cloud and be donwloaded to both our phones?

    Hey NON-TECHNO-WIZARD
    You can do one of two things. The first is to just export out the contacts and import them into each other’s account. If something is updated the other person will not be updated with the information. Now another options is using one Apple ID for iCloud Syncing and then you can still use individual Apple ID’s for store purchases. The article below will shed some light on how you can use the Apple ID.

  • I live in the UK and want to purchase gift cards from iTunes for people in the US but It won't allow me to use my UK address and credit card. Can I or cant I?

    I live in the UK and want to purchase gift cards from iTunes for people in the US but It won't allow me to use my UK address and credit card. Can I or cant I?

    You would have to work with a retailer selling iTunes cards who would accept a non-US credit card. Best Buy is a possibility; they carry iTunes prepaid cards and will accept orders from other countries:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-Topics/International-Orders/pcmcat204400050019. c?id=pcmcat204400050019
    You'll have to have the order shipped directly to the person in the US (or at least someone with a US address, who could then repackage and resend the cards for you).
    Regards.

  • Hello, I live in the Netherlands and my friend is going to bring me a MAC and an Iphone. I was just wondering is there international warranty? Other question is that can I use Iphone with any simcard that I want? Thanks in advance!

    Hello, I live in the Netherlands and my friend is going to bring me a MAC and an Iphone. I was just wondering is there international warranty? Other question is that can I use Iphone with any simcard that I want? Thanks in advance!

    There is an international warranty on the Mac, but not on the iPhone...iPhone warranties are tied to the country of purchase.  Iphone 5s are currently only available in the US tied to a carrier, you cannot use another nano-sim card in them.

  • How can I buy a product on ITunes from another country. I live in the Netherlands and want to buy a movie produced for Chile, South America

    I live in the Netherlands and want to buy a movie on ITunes meant for Chile, South America.
    Is this possible?

    No, you can only buy from your country's store - to be able to buy from the Chilean store you need to be in Chile with a Chilean billing address on your account. You can try requesting that the film be added to the Netherlands store, but without the film studio's agreement Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

    You can get Mifi devices (the iPad connects to it via wifi and they then give access to 3G networks). I've never used one and I don't know if they are available in Canada (and if so how much they would cost). If you have an iPhone then you could also use that as a mobile hotspot
