If I buy an ipad2 3G in the USA will it work with a UK sim card?

If I buy a US ipad2 3G from an apple store in the USA, will it automatically work when I am back in the UK when I fit a UK cellular network micro sim card? Many thanks

It should, from all the posts I've read. Just make sure you get the AT&T version, or more accurately NOT the Verizon version. (if you buy it from one of those retailers)
There's 3 basic kinds of iPads.
3G/Wifi with SIM
3G/Wifi with CDMA (think that's the abbreviation)
and
Wifi only
the Sim and wifi only will work in the UK with only a plug adapter, but the CDMA one is not compatible with the UK's cell system

If I buy an iPad 2 in the USA will it work in the UK?

I am heading to Chicago next week and thought I might pick up an iPad 2 while I am there. Seems I can get more for my money. I wanted to check that if I buy an iPad 2 from the USA that it'll work properly when I get back to the UK.
Is the keyboard is universal?
Can I use my existing iTunes account?
Will it Sunc with my UK MacBook?
Can I use a UK microsim with it?
Other than the plug are the USA and UK iPad 2's exactly the same?
Thanks.

I bought an IPad2 in Boston couple of weeks back and it works fine here in the UK.
Specifically in answer to your questions,
the keypad is universal - just set it UK English in 'Settings'
my UK iTunes account works without any trouble - the Apple shop are keen to set everything up before you leave the store, so I let them do it.
it synchs with my iMac
I only the wi-fi version, so I'm not too sure about the micro sim
There's no difference between the US and UK versions.
A few other things,
I saved £70.00 on the 32 Gb wi-fi version. That included paying State tax, which varies - you may not have to pay tax in Chicago or it may be a different rate, worth checking and how much.
They might tell you'll have to buy a UK charger but all I've done is swap the UK plug attachment I already had from my MacBook onto the charger unit that comes with the iPad and that works fine. It will also charge from my iMac if I connect it (the Apple guy in Boston told me it wouldn't)
Remember the UK customs duty allowances.........

If i buy an unlocked iphone 4s in the usa will it work in Australia? and will the warranty be valid in astralia as i have been told that apple have a world wide after sales service but also been told warranties are only valid in the country of purchase

Each country is a separate business. If Apple in Australia fixes a phone purchased in another country it reduces their profit. The good news is that Apple stores will frequently replace phones purchased in other countries under warranty, but they are not required to do so. Some countries are more liberal than others. India never does, for example.
Why don't you just buy it in Australia? The price difference can't be that great.

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

1
Close all iWork applications
2
Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
3
empty the trash
4
shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
5
Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install

My scanner on the MF4370dn will not work with Windows 8 or 8.1.

I have a Canon MF4370dn which the scanner portion has not worked right since I got a computer with windows 8 and will not work at all since I downloaded windows 8.1.
I have reloaded the scanner tools, tried the Presto! PageManager that came with the oomputer. I have downloaded the latest drivers for the scanner from the site.
It worked with Windows 7 fine, but that computer no longer is functional and I use my scanner often.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Fixed my own problem by redownloading and installing the Windows 8 (x64) drivers and the toolbox software. Thanks anyway.

If I buy an unlocked iphone from the usa, will it be compatable in the uk?

I would like to buy an Iphone from the USA but am concerned that I will not be able to use it in the UK. Can anyone confirm if this is possible and if there is anything I will need to do?

The officially unlocked GSM version will work fine. But why on earth do you want to do this? The iPhone warranty is not a true international warranty, thus you most likely won't have any warranty & support in the UK for a US purchased iPhone. Not to mention you can purchase officially unlocked iPhones in the UK. Your money, do what you want.

I am using Windows 7 64-bit on a partitioned hard drive on a MacAir. The trackpad will only work with a click. How do I get the full function of tap and scroll?

I am using Windows 7, 64-bit on a partitioned hard drive on a 2012 MacAir. The trackpad only works with clicking. How do I get the full function of tap and scroll? (I have this on a 2011 Mac Pro with 32 bit Windows 7 and it works properly.)

How do I shut off the plug in. I using mac OS10.4.11 and I keep getting a bar to update my plugin. The plugin will not work with os10.4.11. Everytime I go to a

every time I go to a new site a bar is lowered and ask to update my plugin. I am using mac 10.4.11 G4 The new plugin will not work. How do I shut off the plugin update so I don't get this anoying bar ever time I go to a new web page. If there is no way to shut it off, I'll trash Firefox and go back to Safari. This just started and I'm tired of it.

to turn off the messages about outdated plugins, enter "about:config" into the address bar of the browser, confirm the info dialog, then search for the preference named "plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin" & double-click it in order to toggle it to "true".
please also note that firefox 3.6.28 was the last build that ran on a powerpc, however if you want to use an up-to-date browser based on firefox you can switch to "tenfourfox" - the downside is it doesn't support plugins at all
[[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.4 or PowerPC processors]]

My new Iphone 6 will pair with Range Rover but the phone will not work with bluetooth

Does anyone know if Apple is resolving this issue? The Range Rover service people don't know how to resolve this.

I Have the same issue. my phone worked until I updated to v8 software on iphone 5. Now it won't pick up contacts and I cannot make a hands free call while driving. My car dealer Taggerts of Motherwell have said the Range Rover software is not up to date and the phone won't work properly until it is.

I bought my iPhone in the USA; will facetime work in the UAE?

I bought my iPhone in Oklahoma, USA. Will facetime work on it when I'm in the UAE?

Carriers lock phones. Only Carriers can unlock them. Contact the carrier to whom your phone is locked. See if they allow unlocking, and if they do, what the qualifications are.

If I buy an iPhone 5 in the UK will it work in Italy with an Italian SIM?

Italy is not included on the LET chart and the website says "an unblocked iPhone 5 may not support LET networks in all other counrties". If I go to an Apple store in Italy and get a SIM compatable with the iPhone 5 it should work right?
Any info would be great! Thanks

ONLY if you buy direct from Apple in UK
Apple are the ONLY source of unlocked iPhones in UK over any model
All others will be locked to a carrier
The iPhone5 sold in UK ( and Europe ) covers LTE band 1,3,5 ( GSM A1429)
Don't know what bands Italy uses or has service on

If I buy an iPhone in Canada and then move to the UK, will it work with a UK carrier?

If I buy an iPhone in Canada and use it with a Canadian carrier, would it also work if I moved to the UK and wanted to transfer it to a UK carrier?

so you pay a bit more for not being locked down

My Photoshop CS (£500 at the time) will not work with Windows 7, what am I supposed to do about it?

I have just spent at least two hours messing about trying to activate my Photoshop CS (using a new hard disk) until finally being told (via a long useless telephone call and two long chat sessions) why I can't activate it, and also that it cannot be replaced by CS2 because that is only for Windows XP which of course is to be faded out next year! It seems to me unreasonable that such a large expenditure (£500 at the time) should be casually dismissed as CS being 'not being compatible with...' and it being a very 'old' program. It was working well for me. Why am I supposed to have to pay for another version? Is this even legal? At the very least there should be some special offer for people in my position.
Photoshop justify this?

Dear Old Bob..I enjoyed that! I and thanks so much ...I would have done it if I could have done it but I was blocked by Photoshop at every stage! Thankfully my own IT Guru and friend came to the rescue remotely last night and has down-loaded it. But it took him quite a bit of time.
As XP is faded out, there will be an awful lot of people like me complaining.
But truth is my problems are only at a start! About 30 prints (some not yet on my 'blog' (juliamatcham.wordpress.com) all have varying settings which I have noted. Everything depends on these settings.
All are Apple RGB (although my computer is a PC) and they were all set for my printer Epson Photo 1800. Also they were set at varying settings...Standard or Vivid 1.5, 2.5 whatever suited the design.
These settings appear not to exist on CS2 which is a nightmare for me as each print was carefully proofed with a great deal patience and at some expense as in the end one has to use expensive paper even for proofing.
If you have any hints for how to translate these old settings...I would kiss your feet!
Just looking through how things work, I can't understand why I can't change my first printing option to landscape ...everything esle so far seems comprehensible.
I do hate change!
Meanwhile, thanks so much to Curt, Noel, Nahraka and Old Bob for cheering me on. I am obviously going to be back asking more questions about CS2!
Julia
