I bought an iPad mini in the USA for my girlfriend in Europe and when we tried to activate it does not allow us to. Any suggestions?

I Bought an iPad mini for my girlfriend in the USA , and brought it to Europe to surprise her. When we attempted to activate, it will not connect to the server...and will not allow us to activate....any help someone can provide? Thanks. Chuck.

I agree. Or if you have a computer, connect your computer to the hotel's wifi, which will allow you to agree to the terms and conditions page, then use the computer to activate your iPad.
There are often issues with iDevices showing that you're connected to public wifi, but unless you can get the terms and conditions page to load so you can agree your connection is a dead end. You're connected but not allowed to do anything.

    Take it, the original purchase receipt, and the friend's death certificate to a physical Apple Store and see what they say.

    Received notice of an update for one of my apps and when I tried to update the message reads "Account Not in this store"  i must switch to a Canadian store before purchasing.  I deleted app and tried to download again but still got the message.  Anyone know how to fix?  FYI have had phone for 2 years and this is the first time this has happened.

    The Apple id that you created do you remember if you created with your region sellected as Canada or US. If so you can change Region directly on your device by clicking on App Store icon, Scroll to bottom and tap your app is, click view acct and change region

    Question
    I have lost all of my bookmarks from the drop-down menu. It says it is empty, but never have I deleted them. And when I bookmark a page it does not save it. Please help

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

  • When clicking on a lookup, firefor does not allow me to select from the list

    When I use firefox, the website I am on has lookup fields located on it, firefox does not allow me to select my preferred option from the list. also when I slect another lookup from a list it displays the message 'invalid lookup value located in field ......'
    This does not happen in IE

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    there are a lot of complaints here about wifi issues with the ipad mini - all seam to deal with 3rd party routers. you might want to check these Threads out.
    did you delete the wifi network on your ipad and reconnect? Are you using WPA2? Did you select TKIP/AES or only one of them? Does your ipad get an ip address?

  • Does the later 2009 MacBook support the Apple DVI to Video Adapter (s-video). I want to connect it to an old tv which does not support HDMI. Any suggestions?

    I have a late 2009 MacBook which I want to connect to an old LG tv. The tv does not support HDMI it only has the (red, while, and yellow) ports. Sorry I dunno the exact name for it.
    So I was thinking of using the Apple Mini DVI to Video Adapter (s-video), link below...
    http://store.apple.com/Catalog/dk/Images/M9319_screen.jpg
    But I'm afraid that the MacBook might not support the adapter.
    Can anyone give me a solution for this? Is there an alternative way of doing this? I'm kinda new to apple display adapters.

    The Late 2009 model 6,1 has a Mini DisplayPort not the Mini-DVI. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When the System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
    Composite is the name for the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs. If you want to use the Composite input on your TV there’s no Mini DisplayPort to Composite. You’ll have to get a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_19?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field -keywords=mini+displayport+to+vga&sprefix=mini+Displayport+to and a VGA Adapter to TV S-Video RCA Out Cable for PC Video. http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Adapter-S-Video-Cable-Video/dp/B000Y7T5UU/ref=sr_1_7?s =electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1316369974&sr=1-7
    Only the Yellow plug or the S-Video plug for video will work. For sound you'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV  http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable

  • HT4623 i can no longer access Safari.  It's not the phone because Apple just sent a new one and it still does not work.  I use the same computer to sync my ipodtouch5 and it has Safari.  My iphone4 does not.  What is the problem?

    I can no longer access Safari.  It's not the phone because Apple just sent a new one and it  (Safari) still does not work.  I use the same computer to sync my ipodtouch5 and Safari is operable.   However, Safari on my iphone is not.  What is the problem?

    That is the way it works. It designed to do that.
    In addition to everything else you have to this other person's computer you would have to move your complete iTunes library over also. Only then will it recognize youriTouch.

  • Tried updating my iPad mini to iOS 8, it went into recovery mode and when I try to update then restore it on iTunes it says the download will last 300  HOURS and then it says something like "Connection failed"?

    I tried uppdating my ipad then it went into recovery mode. I thought "oh no problem, my phone has done this before". So, I hooked it up to iTunes and started to restore/update it, but when the update began, it said it would take 24 hours to download. Already abnormal. Then, the number kept rising higher and higher until it got to 300 HOURS. Then, once it reaches a certain 300, it says "connection failed. please check to see that you have a working connection or try again later" or something like that. So, my iPad is now stuck in recovery mode and I can't exactly talk to people now. What do I do?

    Hello aZaa4401
    Sorry to hear about your issue. I would start your troubleshooting with the article below to check to settings of your computer to make sure your connection is good to the iTunes Store.

  • My ipad mini is stuck on voice mode, it tells me and instructs me how to activate an app.  How do I turn this function off?

    My ipad has a Siri voice turned on and voice comes on for every action that takes place.  If I touch an app, it tells me the name of the app then tells me to double tap to open.  I can't figure out how to turn this feature off.

    Turn off VoiceOver
    1. Press the Home button
    2. Tap Settings.
    3. Then double-tap Settings.
    4. Tap General.
    5. Then double-tap General.
    6. Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility
    7. Tap Accessibility.
    8. Then double-tap Accessibility
    9. Tap VoiceOver
    10. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
    11. Tap "On" next to VoiceOver
    12. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.
