I am buying an iMac from USA. I live in the UK.

Hi,
I live in the UK and wish to buy an iMac in the USA because it is cheaper.
Are there any problems of doing this?
Will a plug converter cause any problems to the device?
Thanks.

As far as I know, the warranty would be valid. but the other points about shipping costs, personal carriage, VAT on imports (which has to include shipping costs) are significant. Even to save a couple of hundred pounds, personally, I don't think it is worth the additional aggro.

In order to purchase from iTunes, you must have an account in that iTunes country store.
In order to create an account, you need a credit card issued on a bank from that country and a billing address in that country.
Also, you need to be physically in that country to purcahse from that countries iTunes store (acording to the Terms of Service).

Is there any obvious benefit to buying my imac from the apple store vs. Best Buy? Saves $40 so I am contemplating not haggling with crowds at Apple Store. Any thoughts?

Return policy may be different from Apple's vs Best Buy. Regardless of crowds, only buy from Apple. Dealing with Best Buy in the future, if there's a problem it may not be worth what you believe to be a $40 savings.
You can make an appointment in advance at the Genius Bar.

You cannot.
You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of your country of residence ( proven by the valid billing address on your credit card) AND ONLY while inside the borders of that country.

You would have to buy it separately. Refurbished machines are sold as they were originally configured so you cannot customize the machine when you order it.

If I buy ipad2 3G from USA or Canada can I used Pakistani operator sim in Pakistan

I live in Pakistan and I want to buy iPad2 3GS
from USA or Canada I just want to know that
I can use it with Pakistani operator Sim

A GSM 3G iPad purchased in the US will not be locked to any carrier, so it will work anywhere. Make sure you don't inadvertently get the Verizon version which will work only with Verizon.

How i can buy iphone 3gs from USA or Germany

Hi
I'm from Egypt and i want to buy iphone 3gs from USA or Germany not from Egypt, Is there anyway to buy from USA or Germany with the same price of USA or Germany not Egypt ?
And is there away you can send it to me to Egypt ?
Thanks in advance...:)

This is a user to user help forum only.
The lower/advertised price for the iPhone in the U.S. is AT&T's subsidized or discounted price for the iPhone, which requires signing a two year contract with AT&T for the subsidy or discount that AT&T pays Apple on a subscriber's behalf.
The iPhone is sold in the U.S. as carrier locked with AT&T only. None of the iPhone functions work until the iPhone is activated with AT&T with the exception of being able to make an emergency 911 call in the U.S. Apple nor AT&T in the U.S. will ship an iPhone to anyone outside of the U.S. AT&T also sells the iPhone in the U.S. at a no-contract/no-commitment or at the full retail sales price which is much more expensive, but the iPhone remains carrier locked with AT&T. A verifiable billing address in the U.S. is required along with a credit check by AT&T which is no different that what is required with a two year contract. The no-contract or no-commitment for the iPhone in the U.S. is billed the same as a subscriber with a two year contact but since there is no contract it is on a month to month basis which can be cancelled at any time without a penalty.
The iPhone is sold in Germany as carrier locked with T-Mobile I believe. Not sure of the iPhone is also sold as officially unlocked in Germany. If so, Apple's support and warranty for the iPhone is honored in the country where the iPhone was sold officially by Apple only. If you are able to purchase the iPhone in Germany as officially unlocked for use with a carrier in Egypt, if a problem develops with the iPhone that requires an exchange under warranty, you would have to return to Germany for an exchange under warranty.
The sales price for the iPhone in each country is determined by the official carrier for the iPhone in each country.

Can i buy an iPhone from USA online and use it in Europe?

Can i buy an iPhone from USA online and use it in Europe?

If you use a credit card from a financial institution in the US,
with a verified billing address in the US, and ship the order to
the US. Warranty will be valid only in the US and LTE will not
work in EU. The low prices you see for some iPhones are
because the iPhone requires a 2 year contract with a wireless
carrier in the US. Prices for unlocked (useable with any carrier)
iPhone 5 are $649 for 16 GB, $747 for 32 GB, and $849 for 64 GB
+ applicable taxes which will vary with shipping destination within
the US. Still interested?

Buy something for more than the balance and charge the remainder to a credit card, or write Apple and ask them to keep the balance.

I had to restore my iMac from Time Machine. After the restoration all programs are functioning except my Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. When I start any program in the suite the error message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I restarted the computer and tried again to run Photoshop and the same error message appeared. The message was followed by a message that stated that I needed to contact Adobe technical support and mention Error: 150.30. I need Adobe technical support to provide me a solution for my problem so I can continue using my Adobe products installed on my computer.

Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite. You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

So you have tried connecting to open network that do not require a password and it was still unable to connect? If that is the case.

Can I buy an Imac on usa and can apple send it to Colombia?

i wanna buy an imac but its too expensive in my own country, co i `d like to know if i can buy it in a usa mac store n bring it to COlombia...
can i do it ?

You could fly to the US, buy it, pay extra to bring it back with you on the airplane and pay duty on it. I doubt that will be less expensive. You cannot buy it in a store and have them ship it to Columbia.

How to buy mac mini from USA

HI, there, I want to buy a Mac mini from USA but I'm in New Zealand. The price here is so crazy!!! Is it possible to order one from apple store in USA and ask them to post it? How to do that? Cheers

There are some things to know about buying things in the US. The prices do not include sales taxes. There is no standard federal sales tax, it differs from state to state and large city to large city and can be between 6 to 10+%.
If you buy from Apple you will always pay sales tax. If you find an online 3rd party Apple reseller, you may pay as much as US$20 to 30 less for the product, but many also do not charge sales tax and if you buy enough, offer free shipping within the US. I have friends in Dallas, so I buy things in the US there. For example, if I had purchased my Mac mini from an Apple Store in Dallas it would have been US$499 plus US$41.00 sales tax (8.25%). (It would have been the same cost from Apple Online, but sometimes they charge for shipping, sometimes they do not.) However, I ordered it from Other World Computing for US$479.00 with no sales tax and free shipping to Dallas. So I saved US$61.00.
However, as mentioned, shipping to NZ and paying customs' duty fees may not save you anything over buying it there.
