I'm moving from Canada to the US with an iPhone 4S

So, I'm going to need to pay out my contract with Fido and am going to need to find a company in the states. My question is can I keep my iPhone 4S and get a new chip with an American company? I'm not entirely sure how this works but I assume you have the chip for a reason -that your phone is transferrable.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Any idea what the cost is?
Can I go to the Apple store or would I have to go directly to a phone company?
Thanks in advance!

Apple is not a wireless carrier or reseller.
They only deal with people buying/upgrading devices.
If you want service, go to a carrier.

After moving from Canada to the US, getting a new iPhone 5C, and restoring my backup from iCloud, I can't update my apps. I get an error message that my account is not valid in the Canadian App store and I must change to the US store. How do I do that?

After moving from Canada to the US, getting a new iPhone 5C, and restoring my backup from iCloud, I can't update my apps. I get an error message that my account is not valid in the Canadian App store and I must change to the US store. How do I do that?

Change here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
You must have a verified billing address & be located in the country whose store you are trying to use.

How do you change your account to reflect moving from Canada to the United States?

Hi there! Merry Christmas!
Just wondering how you can update and iTunes account with new credit card information from an American bank when my account doesn't allow me to change my country to the United States. I moved from Canada and have an outstanding bill that I can't pay iTunes with b/c my credit card there has been closed.
Any suggestions?

Because of copyright restrictions by publishers, it is not possible to change your account from one country to another. Your best chance is contacting iTunes Store customer support.

How do I move my iTunes Store account from Canada to the US?

I recently moved from Canada to the US, but when I try to change my iTunes account from Canada to the US, I get an error: "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed." I've followed the instructions over and over, and contacted iTunes Store support, but it keeps happening. I've even de-authorized all the devices I had authorized for the account, and yet that still didn't fix the problem.
This has been going on for three weeks and I'm getting totally exasperated. Apple has been totally unhelpful.
Help?

Adam,
Get in touch with iTunes Customer Service at their web page.
When you write to them, pls follow these guidelines:
Do not refer to the prior interactions. Explain the problem without emotion.
Make clear that you have already executed the "Change Country" to the USA iTunes Store.
Make clear that you are using a USA-issued credit card with a USA billing address, and that you were physically in the USA when you attempted to use it at the iTunes Store.
Make clear that you have successfully used this same card at other e-commerce sites in the USA. (If this is not already true, make it true by buying an MP3 for 99 cents at amazon.com)

HT5661 How can I unlock my iphone from Iusacel (Mexico) I moved to Canada and the Iusacel company told me they cannot do it. Can you tell me how? I want to keep using my iphone.

How can I unlock my iphone from Iusacel (Mexico) I moved to Canada and the Iusacel company told me they cannot do it. Can you tell me how? I want to keep using my iphone.

The normal process is to request the unlock with the carrier. They process it and pass it on to Apple to be applied to the Apple's iPhone database. The carrier would then inform you when Apple has provisioned the unlock, and you would restore your iPhone as a new device in iTunes to apply the unlock (you would get a message at the end of that restore as new in iTunes indicating the unlock was successfully applied). You could then restore your iPhone from backup to get everything back as it was.
However, for some carriers, you seem to beed to complete the iTunes restore from within the country where they provide service. Regardless, have you tried restoring as new in iTunes to see if it processes any provisioned unlock request? Just be sure to backup the iPhone first, before restoring as new.

I moved from Canada to Australia and don't want to blow my iMac up

So I moved from Canada to Australia and dont want to blow the thing up when I turn it on. I'm wondering if I need to get a whole new power cord (different voltages etc) or i can just use an adapter? I'm not really keen on using an adapter though..
It's a 2011 iMac 27"
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
Katie

2011 iMacs are suitable for power of 100V to 140V, 50hz to 60hz power. So you won't fry the system. You can either use a wall adapter for your plug or buy a new Australia-specific power cord from a local Apple dealer (find one at http://www.apple.com/au/retail) or an Apple Authorized Service Provider at http://www.apple.com/au/service/. Or try Apple Australia Online at 133 622
The mid-2011 specs are at: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP623

Moved from Oz to the Uk but can't access UK app store

Have moved from Australia to the uk and have changed my information in my iTunes store and registered it with a uk debit card etc. However when I go onto the app store it still shows Australian Apps and when I go to download them it says this appleid can only be used with the Uk store... How do I access the Uk store? I want my iPad, and iPhone, to automatically go to the uk store. When I click support at the bottom of the featured page it goes to a .com.au website.... It obviously thinks I'm still in Australia.
I also can't use bbc iplayer app, despite being in the uk... It says it's not supported in my country?!
I know there's a whole heap of threads about is but none that seem to address my problem directly. If you can help you'll be doing me a huge favour!
Thanks in advance!

First, on your phone: Settings>Store...sign out...now sign back in, then sync your phone while logged into the UK store on your computer...still using the same Apple ID, correct?

Officially unlocked iPhone from Canada in the US

If buy a unlocked iPhone from Canada and want to use it in the states, can i still get warranty services and apple support in the states ?

If you have to get a replacement phone for any reason, you will probably have to get it from Canada. The service replacements stocked at US Apple Stores are locked to AT&T.
From the Apple iPhone 4 Warranty: "Apple may restrict service to the country where Apple or its
Authorized Distributors originally sold the hardware product." http://images.apple.com/legal/warranty/docs/iPhone4warranty.pdf

Hello apple
I have the problem with my iPhone and my friends have this problem too.
My iPhone have the problem about calling and answer the call. When I use my iPhone to call I can't hear anything from my iPhone but the person that I call can answer it but when answer both of us can't hear anything and when I put my iPhone to my face the screen is still on and when I quit the phone application and open it again it will automatic call my recent call. And when my friends call me my iPhone didn't show anything even the missed call I'm only know that I missed the call from messages from carrier. Please check these problem I restored my iPhone for 4 time now in this week. I lived in Hatyai, Songkhla,Thailand and many people in my city have this problem.
Who have this problem??

Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$
