If I buy a Iphone5 in the UK, (unlocked) will it still work in Colombia?

Hi, can anybody help me?
If I buy a Iphone5 in the UK, (unlocked) will it still work in Colombia on their local networks?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Well, in that case you will need to get it unlocked in Colombia, and most carriers will NOT unlock until after you have fullfilled your obligations (ie length of contract etc). Check with the carriers to see what their unlocking policies are.
If you plan to go to the UK quite often, then buying ther unlocked UK phone might be an option, even if you ignore the fact that if you need service, you will need to go to the UK to get it serviced. And then there is the issue of LTE. So far no carrier in Latin America (except TelCel in Mexico) offers LTE.

If i buy an iphone on the apple website, will verizon still put insurance on it?

like if in a month my iphone ends up breaking for whatever reason, would i be able go to verizon to replace it even though i bought it from apple?

Have you contacted Verizon and asked them?

If you bought the iPhone from an authorized store/vendor, you should have taken the iPhone to them or any other Apple Store for evaluation under warranty.
Once it has been opened by non-Apple entity, Apple will not do anything for this.

If i buy an iphone with a bad esn, will i still be able to use the apple appstore?

1. If I buy an iphone with a bad esn, will i still be able to use the apple app store?
2. Searching craigslist, it looks like iphones with a bad esn are cheaper than buying an ipod. If it's the same functionality, then is there a downside to getting an iphone with a bad esn instead of an ipod touch?
Thanks

Actually, you can in fact restore it or re-activate it using iTunes. A bad ESN just means it can't ne activated for phone service, but it can still be used as a touch. Phones with bad ESN's are not necessarily stolen, if the owner/account holder fails to pay their bill, the carrier will list with a bad ESN.

So my mom knocked her iPhone 4 into the washer a while back and I was on her Verizon plan and switched to my boyfriends straight talk plan and got a Samsung Centra. So I called the Apple store and they said it'd only be $149 to fix it. And all I would do is bring it in and pay my money and they'd give me a brand new one. What service would it be hooked up to? Or would it be hooked up to one? And Would I need to buy a straight talk card and then set it up to his credit card or do i just call and set it up to his credit card and take money out or what?

Under the out of warranty replacement program, you get an iPhone identical to the one you are replacing...same color, same storage capacity, locked to the same carrier if it is carrier specific. You will have to activate it for use with Verizon just like it was done with the old iPhone.

Can an Ipad 2 3G bought in US be used in Spain with a local phone company contract or is it locked to ATT or Verizon? I am buying it here in the US but will be using it primarily in Spain. Thanks

ATT should be okay, but not Verizon. Look at the right panel, under "More like this", other users have asked similar questions.

If i buy an iPhone in the USA will it still work when i move to Canada?, If i buy an iPhone in the USA will it still work when i move to Canada?

If i buy an iphone in the USA will it still work when i move back to Canada?

You would probably want to look at a factory unlocked iPhone so you do not have to use a contract with a US carrier. And look at the network standards being used, in the US iPhones are CDMA (verizon and Sprint) and GSM (AT&T). What are the carriers in Canada using? If majority, or the carrier in your location are GSM then you should look at the GSM iPhone. Also check warranty and applicability in Canada...iPhone warranties are supposed to be valid only in the country of purchase.
AppleCare+ is available in the US and Canada but, again, be sure you can transfer the coverage to Canada.

If i buy a new ipad and bring it to England will it still work with the different voltages and the 3G/4G?

if i buy a new ipad and bring it to England will it still work with the different voltages and the 3G/4G?

They both seem to cover the same 3G bands - from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/ :
Wi-Fi + 4G for AT&T model: 4G LTE (700, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
Wi-Fi + 4G for Verizon model: 4G LTE (700 MHz); CDMA EV-DO Rev. A (800, 1900 MHz);UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
CDMA isn't any use here as there aren't any UK CDMA based carriers, they are all GSM/sim card based (I'm not aware of any CDMA carriers in Europe). As the AT&T version appears to support an extra 4G LTE band then that might be the better one.

So, I got an iPod from a friend because the screen was broken, he tried to fix it and he bent one of the prongs on where the LCD for the screen goes on the front of the mother board. I can still click it in, will it still work if I buy a new screen?

Well, my friend gave me his iPod 4G Because the screens LCD was broken and there was a black dot in the screen and it didn't work, he didn't want it anymore because he thinks he broke it because where the LCD connects to the front of the motherboard one of the prongs is bent but I can still click the LCD in if I get a new screen will it still work?

Maybe.

My iPod 5th gen touch went through the washing machine. It still works but it has water in the screen and I can't get it out. I put it in uncooked rice for a day but it didn't work. And suggestions??

Leave it in the rice for at least a day and change the rice every other day or so. The rice and iPod should be in a sealed container.

The Power Supply Fan is still working, but does not appear to respond to increased loads, and its speed cannot be increased using SMCFanControl. Any suggestions?

Hi all - My mac pro 1,1 has an enigmatic problem. It's quad-core, 3Ghz, running OS X 10.7.5. The problem began some months back, when running HD video conferences, HD streaming videos and some other graphics-moderate (I won't say intense) uses, such as slide shows in Just Looking. My machine has an ATY, RadeonX1900 card and 2 monitors - both Apple displays, one being 30 inch 2560x1600, the other being 24 inch 1920x1200.
When I start those types of graphics-moderate apps, after about 5 minutes, something would crash (the monitors making a noise as it did) and the displays would both go black. The power did not appear to be fully cut off from the monitors. I think that the underlying applications, however, did not crash. So, I could still hear and speak to people during video conferences, and I could hear the sound tracks of videos.
Attempts to restart the computer and get the monitors back did not immediately work to undo the problem, if done straight away. The only way to correct the problem (so as to have the monitors work) was to wait for a few minutes and then restart.
After a lot of puzzled looking at console logs (and I confess that I am not an expert), I ran into a blank.
But, because of the timing of the crashes (after ~5minutes use) and restarts (after some minutes wait), I reasoned that the problem might be temperature related.
Once on that path of thought, I found this article:
http://worldtv.com/blog/guides_tutorials/fixing_an_overheating_mac_pro_no_expens e_required.php
I installed both Temperature Monitor and SMCFanControl. And I experimented, and got interesting results:
Now to the puzzling bit: SMCFanControl shows that the speed of the Power Supply Fan doesn't vary much, even if I use SMCFanControl to ramp fan speeds right up. All of the other fans react to SMCFanControl, going up to and above 2500rpm when commanded. But the Power Supply Fan does not. Having watched it for a few days now, the Power Supply Fan, according to AFCFanControl, never varies outside of a range from about 600-640 rpm, regardless of what I do with AFCFanControl.
Also (and not surprisingly), whenever the graphics-moderate apps run, when I ramp all the fan speeds up using SMCFanControl, Temperature Monitor shows that the all of the temperatures within the machine plummet, except in the power supply locations. Power Supply Location 2 is the worst affected. Because the Power Supply Fan does not react as the other fans do, the "crashes" still occur.
I could post some screen shots of the read outs of SMCFanControl and Temperature Monitor, although I think I have covered the key points in this post.
It seems that the Power Supply Fan is still working, but does not respond to increased loads.
Instinctively, I'm worried that if that's right, it might be a hard problem to fix. Any suggestions? Help! I would really appreciate them!
Cheers

Thanks for your response Grant. I had already read about, and I think excluded, dust in graphics card/fan/assembly as a cause. The entire inside of the computer, including the graphics card/fan/assembly, is as clean as a whistle. It looks clean. I've cleaned the dust out every now and then (including a few days ago). Also, my undersanding (derived from the article, linked in my first post) is that I might expect to see high temperatures in the Northbridge and memory module B if the graphics card was overheating. According to Temperature Monitor, however, locations do not increase in temperature when I run the relevant apps. Finally, the graphics card/assembly does not feel too hot to touch.
It is strange that SMCFanControl lists the Power Supply Fan as being software controllable, if that fan is not. Still, your comments are consistent with my observations, as the fan simply does not respond to software control.
There are two upsides: First, I've something of a work-around. I've worked out what temperature must be achieved in Power Supply Location 2 for a crash to occur, and I can watch that location in Temperature Monitor, terminating the process before that treshold is reached. Of course, that's not ideal. Second, ramping all the other fans up does significantly delay the onset of the problem, and makes recovery time much quicker.
Is there any donwside to peridically ramping up the other fans when running the relevant apps? Given that it causes all of the other locations to cool significantly, could this lessesn the life expecancy of the mahcine? (I don't want to run the fans up all the time - that's like sitting next to a jet ready for take off!)
Also, a correction to my first post: Yesterday, with all the other fans running on full and running an HD streaming video, the Power Supply Fan did, eventually, slowly, come up to ~740rpm, which is much higher than the ~640rpm maximum I had previously seen, and this may have aided delaying the onset of the problem.
I'm not sure where this leaves me? The problem might now be able managed. Well, sort-of. But it's not eliminated.

By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.

rajlego,
in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, select the Shortcuts tab, and then select Mission Control on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, make sure that the Mission Control checkbox is checked, double-click on its current key combination (by default “^↑”) so that the key combination is highlighted, and then press the F3 button — that will set its shortcut to be F3. You can now press F3 to bring up Mission Control without needing to also press the Fn button.

I seem to have 2 Apple IDs, one on my MacBook Pro and another on my devices. If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud. I have no idea how I go 2 IDs

Can I get rid of one ID? How do I do that?

one on my MacBook Pro
That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.

Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

Well, if you've indeed tried EVERYTHING, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.
