I don't have SSN or any other U.S. IDs. So I cannot make pre-order for iPhone5. Do I still have chance to purchase an iPhone5 at Apple Store on 9/21/2012?

Hi, I'm an international student and I don't have SSN and other IDs which are needed when making pre-orders.
I think Apple Store will save iPhone5 for those who have made pre-orders and choose to pick up at Apple Stores.
So, I'm wondering whether Apple Stores have enough devices for those who haven't made pre-orders.
It takes more than two hours for me to get to the nearest Apple Store.
I really want to go home with my new iPhone. I'm a big fan.....

All you can do is phone the store and explain your position. They could probably take a credit card payment over the phone as a last resort.

In settings>general>restrictions>location services>system services do you have cell network search set to off? If so turn it on and it may help to find a signal faster.

I accidentally deleted my iPhoto a while ago and don't have money to purchase it is there any way to get it back or download it for free?

Howdid you buy iPhoto originally? Did it come preinstalled on a new macwith MacOS X 10.7 or later? Then you can download it from the Purchased tab of the AppStore:
See: OS X: About OS X Recovery
Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X
If your computer came with OS X Lion or later and you erase your hard disk and install OS X, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
Choose App Store from the Apple menu.
Enter your Apple ID and password when prompted.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.
If your Mac came with an earlier system, reinstall iPhoto from the bundled application installation disk.
And if you bought an iLife disk, use that to reinstall.

How do I know if my purchased music is being saved to the "cloud" so I don't need to do any other storage?

How do I know if my purchased music is being saved to the "cloud" so I don't need to do any other storage?

You're purchased music is not so much saved to the cloud, but rather indexed, since it is already in the cloud by virtue of being in the iTunes store.
If you want to check whether your purchases are being indexed or not, go to the purchased section on the main page of the iTunes store. There you will see a list of all your purchased items.

My Ipod needs hardware repair, but don't have proof-of-purchase

Hi guys, I'm new over here. I don't know if I'm even posting in the right place, or if these forums are here for this kinds of questions. Sorry If I'm using them the wrong way...
The thing is that I'm having some troubles with my Ipod Touch. I first realized that there was something wrong with it when I tried plugging to a car adapter. It kind of sounded over the radio, but with very low volume, lots of noise, and without announcing that it was charging.
Then, I went to my computer, plugged it in, and notice that it wasn't getting any charge neither, nor wasn't being recognized by Itunes nor the typical USB discovery. Then I went to my nearest Apple Store and the guy told me that he needed a proof-of-purchase receipt to validate the warranty and repair the Ipod, and that if I didn't have one, I'd have to pay for the repair, and that for what it looks, I'm better off buying a new Ipod.
The thing is that my mom bought my Ipod last November, in the Lenox Square Apple Store in Atlanta, and she then came to Venezuela and lost the receipt (maybe she forgot she needed it, or nobody told her about the warranty so she threw it away).
My question is this basically: what can I do? I've thought of contacting the Lenox Square Store (preferable via email) to explain them what happened, so that maybe they could help me get something that would work as a proof-of-purchase, but there're no email addresses easily visible and I don't wanna waste a Long distance call just to get bummed out.
What do you guys suggest?
Thanks in advance, I'll appreciate every kind of help you could give; even if it's just "Dude, you're screwed."

I did! And according to the link you gave, it says that my Ipod is Registered, Expired for Telephone Technical Support, and Active for Repairs and Service Coverage, with an estimated expiration date of November 26, 2010, which seems about right--that's the week my mom came back from her trip!
So I'm a little bit more hopeful now, but still a little worrisome: the guy at the Apple Store checked the Serial Number using the bar code beneath the Ipod Box and said, "I need proof-of-purchase 'cause according to the system, this Ipod left a Store on May 2009, so it's ALMOST out of warranty, and Apple will require them that I give them a copy of the receipt."
Still. I'm thinking of printing that screenshot and showing it to him.
Thanks a lot luvlabs!

I have created an apple id on my pc but when i'm trying to download free apps from itunes store it's asking for credit card information which i don't have, that's why i went through apple support there i found "if you don't have credit card then click on none option but the problem is there isn't any none option so plzzzz some help me?

If you have an existing ID, & you don't want to use a credit card, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a new ID by following the directions here, EXACTLY:

What can I do if I don't have proof of purchase for repairing my 5s?

There's some problem with my iPhone 5s.
Today I took it to Apple Store but it turned out they couldn't help me since I don't have proof of purchase.
After I left the Genius Bar I asked an employee there if an original iPhone box will be consider as "proof of purchase" if I can't show them the receipt, and he said yes.
I need to reconfirm if this is true before I have my family ship it all the way from other country to the US.
My situation is,
I bought the phone from some guy on Craigslist. He showed me the original receipt that proved he got the phone with a T-mobile 2-year-contract.
I didn't know having the receipt is so important when it comes to having Apple staff to fix the phone for me.
As far as I know, that guy had stopped paying for the monthly payment that he's supposed to, so the IMEI for my iPhone is blacklisted.
My questions are,
1. Can the original iPhone case be considered as a "proof of purchase" ?
2. If my IMEI is blacklisted, can I still get my phone fixed with Apple?

T-mobile provides the iPhone 5S with no down payment with a two year contract.
If the guy from Craiglist isn't honoring the contract, he hasn't bought the phone; it still belongs to T-mobile. Unless the receipt showed him paying the full price for the phone, it was not his to sell to you.
You have a defective phone that does not belong to you. Do you really expect Apple to help.

If I purchase Iphone 4s from apple store, Can I claim the stuff at "istudio" in my country when it has any problem? Or do I have to buy for the warranty as well?

If I purchase Iphone 4s from apple store, Can I claim the stuff at "istudio" in my country when it has any problem? Or do I have to buy for the warranty as well? I am deciding between ordering from apple store and buying from the representative.

Warranty is ONLY valid in the country where the device was originally sold by Apple.
The ONLY exception is for devices sold in the EU, as warranty and service can be obtained in any EU country.
The warranty on the iPhone is not International.

These are user to user technical assistance forums, and nobody here represents Apple or any store. In order to find out whether you can buy something at a particular store, you really need to find some way to contact the store directly.

How do I use credit that I have with the App store to purchase music from the Apple store in iTunes?

That's the question - I understand that I can use credit that i have on the App store to make purchases in the iTunes Apple Store but I dont know how to do it. If I select and album there is no option presented to allow me to access the App Store credit to make the payment. How is it done?

It's done automatically, you don't need to select anything
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582 :
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

This is a stupid question but I needed to ask because I don't want to go there and not being able to buy it, but can I get the iPhone 5 brought straight there when I go to an apple store?

And I meant go to the apple store physically without preordering it online, and I meant the Southampton one. So could I just stroll in apple store and buy a iPhone 5 in Southampton apple store and buy the iPhone 5 straight away? Because I didn't want to have to wait? I just want to go in and buy it and go out with it, if you guys get what I mean? And felipeV if it is in stock could I just buy it and leave with my iPhone 5?

Is there a SIM in the phone? It can not be activated without a SIM.
If there is a SIM in it, that message is often the result of the phone having been hacked or jailbroken to unlock it in the past.

I don't have SSN or any other U.S. IDs. So I cannot make pre-order for iPhone5. Do I still have chance to purchase an iPhone5 at Apple Store on 9/21/2012?
