I want to buy and use an iPad in the USA whilst on holiday, will it work still if I take it back to the UK?

I can't seem to find a discussion that says 'I bought my iPad and used it in the USA' as this is what I want to do and then take it back with me when I go back to England.
Many thanks in advance,
James

The iPad is probably higher than your personal allowance
if so VAT and and duty is payable depending on how long you are in US
If you do't declare the iPad and get caught ,not worth thinking about
in terms of cost and possible penalties
Google personal allowance to find out details from HMC&E

  • HT2534 NFL game pass app is not available in U.S. store it seems, even though I am living and using my iPad outside the U.S. they tell me to create an internationaliTunes and using my iPad outside the U.S. They reccomend I creat an International  They adv

    I want to buy the NFL Game Pass package to view this season on my iPad 2 which I bought and registered in the U.S. I now live outside the U.S. but a message in the app store says I cannot download the app from the U.S. store. By the way the product can only be viewed outside the U.S. once purchased. The problem is how to purchase it without access to the app store.
    Support for NFL Game Pass apologized and advised to create a new International  iTunes account. In reading a product review I see one person living in Hong Kong created what he called a dummy account, downloaded the app, bought the package and it still doesn't work. Before following this advice I wanted to know of any comments or suggestions. Thanks!

    This is so awful!! Shame, Shame on the NFL. The NFL replacement refs are much better than NFL technology.
    I am trying to listen to the Patriots on-line today and cannot get ANYTHING :-(
    Switch over to the Red Sox on MLB.com no Problem getting my lousy Red Sox audio perfectly!!
    Shame, Shame on NFL.com and the Patriots for this lousy mobile app and online technology.
    And now I am seeing that the NFL '12 APP is NOT available for the iPhone.

  • I want to buy a wifi 3G iPad 2 from the US apple store and get a relative to bring it down to Sri Lanka. Does it come unlocked for other cellular carriers or is it restricted and needs to be unlocked?

    Hi I want to buy a WIFI+3G iPad 2 from the US apple store and get it shipped to a relative in the US to bring it down to Sri Lanka. My question is, is the iPad 2 unlocked to be used with any carrier worldwide or will i have to unlock it myself? Or is there any way to purchase a iPad 2 without selecting a specific US carrier?
    Thanks,
    Milinda

    iPads bought in the US are not locked to a carrier, but only the AT&T version uses micro-sim cards - the Verizon model is CDMA based and doesn't use sim cards, so for that reason is effectively locked. With the AT&T version you should be able to just swap in a local micro-sim - you don't have to activate a service with AT&T

  • How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening.

    How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening. I don't want to use my iPad to take the video...too large/bulky. And I WON'T have a computer with me...I purchased the iPad to take with me so I could use the RDC to my home computer and avoid taking my computer at all. Is this possible?

    here is a cheaper solution than camera kit and a lot easier if you have WIFI available.
    I use the PhotoSync APP (I think its a $1.99) will transfer videos and photos over WIFI to any other IOS device or even PC/MAC. Great app since I like doing video and photos on my IPHONE and transfer to IPAD2 without synching through computer or doing cloud based storage.
    You can even send photos/videos from your MAC/PC to your IOS devices that way too. Makes it so much easier.

I have made efforts to download to no avail and have also change my password severally and later my username and still I get the same message.

    Read the tips in this article and see if any of them work for you. You may need to contact iTunes Support in order to get this resolved.

  • TS2755 When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy. I'll never buy another if I can text using SMS or MMS

    When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS.  Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

    Hi Michael,
    I'm glad iTunes is working now!  If you want to locate iTunes plug-ins on your computer, you can find them in the following locations (you may not have the iTunes Plug-ins folder if you do not have plug-ins):
    Mac:
    /Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
    /Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
    One thing I also wanted to mention is that the "Users/username/Library" is hidden in Lion and Mountain Lion.  You can access it using these steps:
    OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
    The Library folder contains files used by OS X and your apps, including your personal fonts and preferences. The Library folder is hidden. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.
    You can find the full article here:
    OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?

    All the best,

  • I would like to know if iphone 5 GSM model A1429 unlocked is available in stores in the US in order to buy and use in Europe

    I would like to know if iphone 5 GSM model A1429 is unlocked and is available in stores in the US in order to buy and use in Europe. Please let me know.
    Thanks
    ST

    Not officially for sale in the US, at the present time, although Apple's flagship store on 5th Ave, in New York City, gets supplies from time-to-time. However, no GSM US model iPhone 5 will support LTE anywhere other than North America. It will not support LTE in Europe. If you want LTE support in Europe, you need to purchase your phone in Europe.

  • I am halfway through my 4s contract and wanted to buy a 5, but only see the 64 gig available to me for 649 but that requires a 2 year contract. Where can I buy w ou getting locked into a contract and for how much?

    I am halfway through my 4s contract and wanted to buy a 5, but only see the 64 gig available to me for 649 but that requires a 2 year contract. Where can I buy w ou getting locked into a contract and for how much?

    Your contract is with your service provider - it has nothing at all to do with Apple.
    You can buy a contract free and/or unlocked iPhone from Apple and use it with whatever carrier you wish.  Your contract terms with your current service provider remain in effect for your iPhone 4s though, so if you cancel with them (or port your number out, which accomplishes the same thing) you will owe them early termination fees and so forth.
    Even if you pay full retail but want to use the phone with your current service provider, you are still obligated to complete the terms of your existing contract.

  • I want to buy Iphone 4S or Iphone 5 from USA and ship it to South Africa, will i have carrier problems?

    I want to buy Iphone 4S or Iphone 5 from USA and ship it to South Africa, will i have carrier problems?

    If you buy a phone from Apple online from USA you must have a credit card with a US address and have it shipped to that same address. If you chose a carrier it will be locked to that carrier. You must buy an UNLOCKED phone to use outside of the US, for the unsubsidized price. For unlocked phones you don't need to choose a carrier. the iPhone 5 is not yet available unlocked; only the 4S is sold as unlocked by Apple.
    If you buy from the US Apple site you must return it to the US for warranty service.
    LTE is the "next generation" cellular network standard. It is supported in the US by Verizon and AT&T. 

  • Can I buy and use two upgrades?

    Hello,
    have Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium. I want to upgrade the product.
    Can I buy and use two upgrades: Creative Suite 6 Design Standard
    and Creative Suite 6 Production Premium?
    Second question: if I make my upgrade Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium (which has included, among othersAdobe Premiere Pro) to Creative Suite 6 Design Standard (which does not have Adobe Premiere Pro), will I still be able to use the applications contained in the Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium (Adobe Premiere Pro), or it will be deactivated?
    Thank you

    What would you want with 2 upgrades if you have only 1 qualifying product? That's simply not possible since the upgrade serial is tied to the serial number of the previous product. Otherwise your CS5.5 will remain fully functional when you install CS6.

  • How do I use my iPad as the display and input device for my Mac Mini?

    I plan to have the following stereo configuration:
    Integrated amplifier with USB input that supports up to 24/192 audio, the Peachtree Nova 125
    Mac Mini with USB connection to amp, wifi to the Internet, housed in the equipment cabinet with the integrated amp, no other music source.  No display or keyboard connected to the Mac Mini.
    I would like to use my iPad as the display and to control the Mac Mini to run Pandora, iTunes, Spotify, podcasts, etc.
    Anyone have success with this general configuration?

    You need a set of apps (one for iPad and another for computer) like Team viewer or Go to my PC

  • Hi I have an iTunes account with my uk debit card but am currently in Australia, can I buy and use an iTunes/app store gift card in AU$ or am I only allowed to acces the store in gbp£ ?

    Hi I have an iTunes account with my uk debit card but am currently in Australia, can I buy and use an iTunes/app store gift card in AU$ or am I only allowed to acces the store in gbp£ ? Cheers

    I had the same error when trying to update my apps on my ipod touch. I tried to input my security code numerous times to no avail. I also made sure my billing address was the same as what my bank had on file. To fix the issue I went into iTunes, logged onto the iTunes store, went to account settings and reviewed my recent purchases. Turned out that I had made a recent purchase and didn't have enough money left on my credit card to pay for it at the time. I paid off the credit card, and then input my security code once more and now it works fine. I've heard that some debit or pay as you go credit cards require a minimum balance, so make sure you have at least that amount in your account.
