I am currently spending my holiday in the United States of America and I want to buy some apps online but to my surprise I am being re-directed to my home country apple store where the apps are not available. My MasterCard debit card was registered.

Why can't I buy applications from apple us store except my home country apple store where these applications are unavailable?

Something that you will want to keep in mind if you use the solution the Texas Mac Man link for you. If you buy gift cards in the US they are only good in the US store. So if you have any balance left over you will not be able to use it back in your home country with your home country store.
You will still be able to use it in your US account but you cannot switch back and forth from one country store to another country store until you use the balance that is left on that gift card. Bottom line, if you set up an account and use a gift card, use it up all the way, or you will not be able to switch back to your own store when you get home. Using up a balance on a gift card is easier said than done.

  • I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one.  Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not enough space?

    I had a repair done at the apple store where the replaced my hard drive and copied my other hard drive over to the new one.  Everything is fine except the time machine wont reconnect to my old file and is trying create a new file but not there is not enough space for both files files? Do I need to do something to have it continue to update my old file instead of recreating a new one?

    Depending on what version of OSX you're running, and how the data was transferred, you may be out of luck.
    If you're running Lion, and your backups were made to a directly-connected external HD (ie, not a Time Capsule or other network location), you may be able to get Time Machine to "associate" the new disk with the old backups.  See #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting, especially the pink box there.
    If you're running Snow Leopard, you might be able to do a full system restore of your backups to the new HD.  See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 for detailed instructions.  That should leave a "trail" that Time Machine can follow to "associate" the new drive with the old backups.  Unfortunately, that doesn't always work, and there's no way to do it manually, as there is with Lion.

  • I am from argentina and i want to buy an iPhone 5s, but in my country i can only use it if the phone is unlocked , i want to know if i buy one of t mobile with no contract and i travel to mi country ( internationaly) i can use it with a sim from argentina

    You should go onto the Tmobile web site and look around. Very soon a pop up window will ask you if you want to chat. You can try asking for someone who knows Spanish (if you prefer), they might have someone available who can chat with you in Spanish.
    I give this suggestion because I remember on the Tmobile website, you can order on line, but they let you choose to pay only a little money up front, then pay off the rest over 24 months, or you can choose to pay for it in full. However, their ordering process does not say whether the paid for in full phone is going to be unlocked or not.
    It may not be, You may have to make a request and say that since you have paid in full please unlock. I am not so sure that a paid for in full phone is automatically sold in unlocked state.
    This is why I suggest you talk to Tmobile to get a definite answer.
    Unless someone else on this forum knows for sure? Hope someone else jumps in to answer. But the best way is to ask for yourself directly from Tmobile.

    There's nothing anyone here can do to help you return your iPad; we're all just fellow users. Call the store from which you purchased your iPad and ask about their return policy.

  • If I buy a iPad online with cellular and wifi can I use it outside the United States both cellular and wifi?

    If buy a iPad online do the cellular plan come lock to a single provider, or can be use with any provider?
    If I buy on the USA store can I use it outside the USA? 

    Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iOS_devices  it lists available models of ipad and under connectivity it mentions what features each has.  Make sure that what you choose is compatible for use in US and whatever other country you want

  • I live in mexico and i want to  buy sing off music, but it tells me that i am only allow to buy in mexico store why?  i what to buy original, this is only pushing me to piracy

    i want to buy original sing off street corner symphony , but it tells me that i can only buy in mexican store, that obviously dont care about good music, this is why many people go to piracy, this is a stupid form of seeing internet oportunities

    Hi Luis,
    This is Little John from Street Corner Symphony. I'm glad you like our music, but it also ***** that the iTunes store doesn't have it available for sale down there. Unfortunately, Sony is picky about that stuff for some reason. The bad news is, it's not Apple's fault and there's little we can do because Sony's the one holding all the cards.
    The good news? We're no longer with Sony, so when we release our first album in a couple months, we should be able to make it available worldwide so you don't have to resort to torrents. Since you did have to resort to torrents to find the Sing-off stuff (I'm not going to make a judgment call, the issue of legality versus morality is not black and white, despite what some other posters want to guilt you into believing), we would appreciate it if you'd help out a little with our fundraising to make our first album. You can find donation information at our website:
    http://www.streetcornersymphony.org
    Hope all's well,
    - John

    I always suggest going to monoprice.com for cheap priced and good quality cables, adapters, aother videio/audio realated hardware.years.
    Example:
    Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    You can search for the cable of desired length there as well.
    Been using monoprice for years.   Excellent source for this kind of stuff.

  • I am in the US and I want to buy an Iphone 5 but I will return to Colombia in two years.

    Iphone 5 does not have a sim card. Does the Iphone 5 will come later with a sim card? do I wait or do I buy an Iphone 4?

    Check the tech specs carefully - http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html
    The CDMA iPhones are sold with contracts with either Verizon or Sprint.  They will only work with those CDMA networks.  Their GSM radios will allow roaming in foreign countries, or may be unlocked (if certain contract conditions are met) so they can be used with local nano-SIM cards & plans when travelling outside of the USA (to avoid roaming fees when out of the USA).
    The model A1428 GSM only iPhone 5 model is sold for use with AT&T.  When a factory unlocked version of this becomes available (whenever that is) it could also be used with T-mobile or any GSM provider, but the LTE frequencies may not work with carriers outside of the USA.
    The model A1429 GSM only iPhone 5 is intended for use in Europe, Asia and other places that use different LTE frequencies thatn AT&T does here.  That model is not even expected to be sold here in the USA, as there'd be no carrier to use it with for LTE data.
    I can understand your thinking long term, but honestly, in two years, the iPhone 5 is going to be very, very old news.  We may even be on the iPhone 7 (if they keep naming them in numeric series) or who knows what by then.  So if you are going to be in the USA, why not just get what will work best for you here for those two years, and just plan on retiring it and upgraded when you go back home (or wherever life takes you by then).  You don't even know what changes or upgrades to the networks in Colombia will bring by then - LTE may already be old news and 5g or whatever next is coming may be rolling out.

  • I want to buy Production Premium CS6, but I already own Flash Professional.  Is there a way I can avoid paying for the same product twice?

    I have a feeling I already know the answer to this question, but I figured it was worth asking anyway.
    Just under a year ago, I purchased Flash Professional CS6 for school.  Now that I am expanding my practices, I am interested in purchasing the Production Premium bundle of programs.  However, it already comes with Flash CS6, and if I can avoid paying for the same product twice, I'd like to do so.
    Is it possible for me to either get some kind of discount on the suite since I already own one of the programs?
