HT4572 If I buy iPad Air with a carrier and cancel it can I use other abroad?

I'm from Bulgaria and my question is can I buy an iPad Air cellular with one of the proposed carriers can I disable it and use other in my country? If i buy it from Amazon do I have to look for unlocked one?

Apple Australia are selling the iPhone 3G for A$719, the iPhone 3Gs 16 GB for A$879, the iPhone 3Gs 32 GB for A$1040. No contract. After allowing for tax differences, at the moment these are around $100 more expensive than USA prices (Apple tend to set and keep prices relative to the date the item was released, regardless of further changes in exchange rates). This is about A$500 more than an equivalent iPod Touch, so you are paying a premium.
I am also contemplating buying a replacement iPhone without a phone contract, as most of the time I do not need to use the amount of call time required by a contract. I can already change my data package on a month to month basis. My use pattern is generally a couple of months with no real need for a phone, followed by slightly less than a month of intensive data use, usually in remote areas. Also my partner really, really wants to grab my existing iPhone to replace the iPod Touch she grabbed earlier. The extra iPhone facilities really do give it a decent edge over the iPod. In particular, the always present camera proved way more handy than I ever expected. So I am being encouraged to upgrade.
Still unknown is whether I can change SIM cards on an ad hoc basis. All major Australian phone companies sell iPhones (except most have stock shortages). Some carriers are only workable in major cities (but have cheap pre paid cards). Others are really expensive, but work well in country areas. Being able to run multiple appropriate SIM cards on different carriers would be really helpful.

    I am continually getting error -69 when syncing iPad Air with latest iOS and iTunes versions. Any suggestions?

    Try Googling "sync without iTunes".
    There are free alternatives and there are not so free alternatives.
    Btw, to check if AVG is causing the problem, you should uninstall AVG and not just "turn it off".
    Also, can you describe how you go about uninstalling a program? For example, how did you "delete" iTunes?

    I live in Germany at the moment. How can I buy iPad mini with retina online and  get tax free?

    Do you qualify for a tax free purchase?  The online stores will collect the required taxes for their country and region.  I know in the USA, if you are a tax free corporation, and you purchase it directly with a corporate account, you can get an item tax free using the company account and the corporations registered tax exempt number.  But an individual citizen cannot avoid paying the appropriate required taxes when shopping the online Apple web store.

  • What are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation

    what are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation ?

    The iPad with retina display only comes in the 16GB version and it has the A6 processor which is a step down from the Air model. Having said that, I stream movies on my iPad 3 with retina and it has the A5 processor and the movies stream just fine as does everything else that I do on the internet.
    If 16GB is enough storage for you, the $100 savings compared to an iPad Air model is a fair amount of money and that might sway me if I was just worried about saving some money. However, that's not my style. I always go for the largest capacity that I can afford and the faster processor if I have the choice.
    Having said that, if it were me, I would select the 32 GB iPad Air. But in spite of the information that you provided in which you want to base your decision, only you can be the judge of what will be best for you, and remember that you cannot add storage capacity to the decide later. You can purchase external WiFi drives if you need the storage, but to me, that takes away from having the really small footprint and portability of only having to carry the iPad around gives you.

  • With iOs 7 and the iPhone can someone use the phone while also using a communication app such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These are text to speech systems for people who cannot speak well. Thanks you!

    With ios 7 and the iPhone can someone use their phone while also using a text to speech app, such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These apps are used by people who have difficulty with speech production.
    Thank you.

    My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
    I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the  iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
    The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
    Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

    Did you check the box that says 'Synchronize Apps'? This happened to a friend and after she enabled this synchronization she was able to use her apps as she did before.

  • Buying iPad Air 2 4g in U.S.

    I found answers to this question in a 2012 topic... just to make sure:
    If I buy an iPad Air2 with cellular in the U.S. can I use it here in UK?
    thanks!

    Greetings smboss,
    With the announcement of the iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3, it is not surprising that you may have questions surrounding pre-ordering or our trade-in offer! With multiple iPads to trade-in and of course looking to get the best deal on your next big purchase, I am glad you have reached out to us for clarification on what you should expect when you visit the store.
    With the Trade Up to iPad promotion, it is my understanding that your trade-in value would be based on what you intend on purchasing. If you are intending on purchasing the iPad Air 2, you should receive a $200 gift card and $50 coupon for each of your qualifying trade-ins. If you were to choose to purchase the iPad mini 3, you would receive a $175 gift card and a $25 coupon for qualifying trade-ins. Please keep in mind that there is a limit of 2 trade-ins per person.
    That being said, I am not sure you would be able to combine these coupons and gift cards from the two trade-ins to put towards the purchase of one iPad Air 2. I am reaching out to the appropriate teams to research this further, and will contact you when I have more information to share.
    In the meantime, I greatly appreciate your patience! If you should have any questions, please let me know.
    Respectfully,

  • Since iOS 8 came out, my iPad Air with iOS 7.1.2 is slow on wifi searches. Is this the way to for me to update? After reading the common threads, I do not want to upgrade yet. Is there another solution?

    What is wrong with this picture? We are forced to vent on forums and rely on other users to find answers to our problems. Obviously, after reading other posts, we all suffer from poor quality controls before release of upgrades and new "toys"! I have an iPad Air replacing an iPad 1st Gen bought on the first day of release. Was happy until iOS 7 was introduced. Since then, many frozen screens on the web, unexpected shut downs for reboot. No, it is not full, as I have over 70gigs available. I close my apps regularly so they don't run in the background. NOW, since the release of iOS 8, my wifi connection is slow like ****, to almost not working. And I haven't even ungraded to iOS 8! Is this Apple's new way to force me to upgrade? My iPhone 4S is faster, although I have to change it. No battery life, regular unexpected shutdowns. JUST WRITING THIS POST IS PAINFULL: at one point, I was only able to erase text by backing up... No editing possible, no new typing either... As if I was monitered and they did not agree with my text. So weird... Anyways it is back now. As I was saying, need to change phone, but I am afraid to buy  the 6 with iOS 8.
    SO, here are my questions: what can i do for my iPad Air connectivity issues? And between an iOS 7 iPhone 5S and iOS 8 iPhone 6, what to choose?

    If you don't like to be helped by other users that volunteer their time to help other users, then go to your nearest Apple store, and talk to a Genius there at the bar. Call up Apple Support. There are ways to get direct Apple Support. These forums are here to help out those who want help. Not for those who just want to vent.

    The iPad Air shipped with iOS 7 from factory, so not sure what that means.   it worked with 7 but then it did not?
    Whatever is going on with your iPad now, is completely unrelated to the release of iOS 8. Apple does not tamper with the devices to force you to update. In fact you don't even have to update at all.   I know people still using iOs 6 because they like it.
    Personally I updated my iPad 2, an iPad Mini, and my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 and have experience none of the issues that seem to plague people.  Should i automatically assume the update is flawless?  No, but I also don't assume that Apple is causing issues to my devices remotely. That is just ludicrously ridiculous.
    The forum software here does have many issues. It also ironically enough doesn't get along with iPads very well for some reason, but Apple has nothing to do with that.  Jive, the makers of the forum software provide it to Apple and maintain it as well. If there are issues with the forum software we report them to them, and they try to fix them.
    With that said, apple sold over 10 million iPhone 6s on launch, have you seen anywhere near that many complaints about it?
    In a pool of devices that large there's bound to be issues, but its still a very very small percentage of users having any issues at all let alone device breaking ones which are even less.
    Good luck finding another Technology company that has a percentage of issues as low as Apple has in a pool of devices as large as the one Apple manages.
    As a final point, what have you tried to solve the slowness and other issues you are experiencing.  Sometimes software suffers bugs. If resetting the device has not fixed this perhaps a restore may work out.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • Ipad air with cellular can be used with any carrier anywhere in the world?

    Currently i'm in the US for business, I want to buy the new ipad air with cellular connection but i don't live in the US, can i use it with any carrier, anywhere in the world?

    Hi there,
    You may find the information at the website below helpful.
    iPad Air
    http://www.apple.com/ipad-air/ultrafast-wireless/
    Ready to take on the world.
    iPad Air offers comprehensive support for fast networks around the world, and you don’t need a long-term contract. You can sign up for cellular connectivity only when you need it. Some cellular carriers even offer flexible shared plans that let you use the data service you already have. If you want a local connection when you’re traveling, iPad Air is ready. Just ask a local carrier about a short-term data plan, pop in a SIM card, and you’re ready to go.

  • IPad air with international warrantee?

    Q1: iPad air (both wifi and cellular model) has international warrantee or not? and
    Q2: If I buy iPad air (both wifi and cellular model) from Hongkong, can I claim it in Thailand?
    Could u please answer me to my email. I am not familiar with Apple Support Communities online.
    Thank you

    The Apple Communities are for users to help other users. If you want to talk with Apple employees, you need to call an Apple Store, in countries where those are available, or Apple Support:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    our iStudio told me that every Apple devices are international warrantee except iPhone!!!
    iStudio was wrong. Cellular-model iPads, just as with iPhones, differ from country to country and hence are supported by Apple only in the country in which Apple sold the iPad. WiFi iPads, again, may get international support, but as I said, I would suggest you not presume that to be the case.
    Regards.
