If I buy an iPhone 6+ online for pickup at the Apple Store, do I have to activate it there?
I do not want to open the factory sealed box, the person on my account lives in another city and I wanted to give the phone as a gift still sealed. Ive been getting mix answer on whether you can walk out a store without opening and activating the new iPhone. If they activate this phone in the store then my family member will not have phone service on her phone. Does anyone have any info on this? You can order online and have it shipped sealed and activate it yourself, why can't you pick up a factory sealed phone if you're paying for it through your cell phone account?
You can pick it up without opening or activating it.

I'd like to buy an iPhone 4S in France directly from the Apple Store, not from the operators. But, I will go back to my country, Thailand. So, I'm wondering to know that there is an INTERNATIONAL warranty for iPhone, and is it valid in Thailand (warranty). Would it be able to be claimed at the iStudio in Thailand?
There is NO International Warranty for the iPhone. Your best bet is to purchase one in Thailand. If you purchase a phone in France, you will NOT get warranty service on it in Thailand and will have to return it to France (or any EU country) for warranty service.

I got shafted during the pre-order even though I ordered on time. I even got bamboozled at the Verizon store after waiting for four hours, and being third in line. At 8am we were all told that Apple sent them absolutely no iPhone 6 Pluses. Wonderful news right. After all this **, I was lucky enough to snag a white/silver 64GB Plus at the Apple store today. They got a late shipment, and received five more Plus models tonight. Needless to say I canceled my order with Verizon today. I would just monitor the Apple store closely for availability at local stores. That's what I did, and scored epically. In the end I got my iPhone 6+ on launch weekend...no thanks to Verizon.
I tried to buy an iPhone 6 Plus in both Verizon and Apple stores and was told that they didn't have any and did not know when they would receive more. I tried to order online at both the Apple and Verizon online stores but could not because my current Loyalty plan is not available for online orders. Next, I called Verizon to place the order with a live rep. After being sent to two different reps and waiting over an hour I finally got to someone that was able to take my order for exactly the color and storage size that I wanted. I received an email receipt confirming my order and keeping my current loyalty plan with the $200 trade in promotion for my old iPhone 5. While I have to wait a month to receive my new phone, I am happy that I will receive the phone that want and get the trade in promotion. I am a patient man

I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?
In earlier years you can go th an Apple Store, buy a Macbook Pro and ask for a replacement to a other type of keyboard. I do this 2-3 times in the last years for german keyboards. If you done this on the same day you bought the macbook, the replacement happened without charge anything. It was a great service.
Yesterday i go back to the same store like before and both - the sales representative and the guys an the GeniusBar told me - that this is not offered by Apple anymore. Because the US Apple Online Store do not offer other Keyboards the US-based keyboards and the German Apple Online Store do not deliver to other countries the final conglusion from the Apple Stuff was:
Flight to germany, but it over their.
I see here in the Support community a lot of questions about norwegian, german and other kind of keyboards they want to buy in the US. Their is obviously a need for this. And from the logistic standpoint, it should be easy for Apple to offer that in the Online Stores itself.
For me the conglusaion is: I stay with my old Macbook Pro and hope i need no replacement within the next years. To order it in germany, ship it to a friend, pay taxes twice (in germany and vur customers) plus shipment, make it to expensive (bottonline: 600-800$ more than buy it in the US) make no sense to me. -
I bought a Mountain Lion upgrade for $20 off the Apple site. I have four other Macs all under the same ID. How can I share the new OS with other computers. Or can I?
You can share it with other Macs under your control (not your neighbor's). You just need to be logged in under the buying AppleID for updates or to download again.
Use this thread to find a method of copying the ML download into a USB drive to make other installations easier: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16639520#16639520 -

Hi there - I have an iPhone 4s which I bought from the apple store here in the UK. I am going to South Africa at the end of the year and I want to use a SA sim card - do I need it unlocked?
Hi,
As far as I know, all the iPhones bought online or in the Apple Store ar unlocked.
Only carriers (e.g. T-mobile, Vodafone, O2) are able to lock a phone, Apple won't do that (afaik).
This would mean that you shouldn't need to unlock your iPhone.
Kind regards,

If my book is available for purchase on the iBooks store can I have a multi-book app for purchase in the App Store containing the book at the same time?
1.) No one here can tell you what the app review teams will/won't accept/reject, sorry.
2.) App Reviewers have been rejecting a certain percentage of apps based on their determination that the app is too book-like, saying the dev should make a book instead. -
I broke my old phone a few days ago, and my phone number doesn't have an upgrade until the summer of next year. My dad offered me his upgrade, since he doesn't need a new phone and it would save me a few hundred dollars. Is it possible for me to go into the Apple store and purchase a new iPhone when I'm using an upgrade from a different phone number? I already cleared it over with the people at Verizon, who told me I could switch the upgrade over online.
There are 2 issues here.
Some carriers REQUIRE a data plan in order to use an iPhone on their network. This requirement will vary from carrier to carrier. The iPhone is designed to be constantly connected. If you do not manually go in and turn off cellular data (not just 3G) The phone will attempt to connect to the Internet over the cellular data network. If you have your carrier specifically block these requests, you shouldn't be charged for them. If not, it could end up costing you lots of money you didn't expect. The other thing that will happen is things like visual voicemail will not work (if the carrier supports it to begin with) and you will get lots of messages about not being able to connect to cellular data if you're not in range of WiFi you can connect to. MMS messaging also will not work.
The second issue surrounds the statement: "use the iphone 4 with a standard cdma phone plan".
It is NOT possible to purchase an unlocked CDMA iPhone. ALL CDMA iPhones are locked to Verizon. -
Can apple unlock an iPhone 4 that was bought from the apple store?
I bought an iPhone 4 last year from the apple store, my network provider cannot unlock it as I didn't get it through them. Hope someone can help.
Only the carrier (not Apple) can initiate the unlocking process. In the US, AT&T has not and will not unlock the iPhone for anyone for any reason.
If your network provider cannot or will not unlock your phone, then you phone cannot be unlocked. If you need an unlocked phone, sell yours and buy a factory unlocked phone. -

My Iphone car charger is not charging again. This is the second one I have bought from the Apple store and they are not cheap anyone else have problems?
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

I have recently got a new iphone 5 and I dropped it on to the rug on top of wooden flooring and the screen is now cracked. I have made an appointment at my nearest apple store but i still have to travel quite a bit. Will apple replace this phone or send mine away? I don't want to travel for nothing.
If you are in the US ,some Apple genius bars are replacing screens at this time if your local store isn't offering that service or you are not in the US there will be an out of warranty exchange unit for $229
make sure you back up everything as if you exchange your iPhone will go and the Genius bar do not provide a backup service -
Hi,
i have a iphone 3gs and its faulty i am just wondering would apple replace it or offer me a newer model for extra paymentThe device is out of warranty. If there is something wrong with it, they would offer you an out of warranty replacement, a 3GS just like you have. You could purchase another device if you want. Some Apple stores will offer a gift card when you turn in a device, but I do not know how much that would be on the 3GS. Carriers also offer subsidies, depending on where you are located, when you sign contracts. Many ways to get new or like new devices.

Is this true?
A) Absolutely not true. There will be a replacement cost for an iPhone that is either out of warranty or that does not have Apple Care +. (AppleCare is different, note the + sign).
If you have Apple Care + on your phone (you will know because it will have had to have been after October 14, purchase date) then you will be eligible for a new phone swap AFTER seeing a Mobile Technician.
If you have AppleCare +, which now covers accidents, you must make an appointment and you must be seen by an Apple Mobile Ttechnician in order for them to authorize the swap. You cannot walk into a store and have anyone done it - it must be done by a tech.
Information about AppleCare+ AT TIME OF PURCHASE
- $99 for two years of coverage
- Within those two years you are allowed two incidents of accidental damage. They are $49 at the Genius Bar.
- If a manufacturers defect (something wrong with the device and no damage has occured) is found, the phone is then repaired at no cost, and no incident of $49 will occur.
