If I buy an iPhone in China will I be able to use the UK app store with my UK iTunes account?

I am working/living in China, and I want to buy a new iPhone. A friend of mine bought a Windows 8 phone and he discovered that the phones, apparantly all of them (across all brands) are region locked, app store wise, to China. So he can't download apps like Skype for example. I want a new phone but I'm worried that if I buy an iPhone here in China I won't be able to access my countries store. I have an old iPhone but it was from the UK so I know I can access the UK store in China. But the issue is, is that will the Chinese sold iPhone only access their own store and no others like the Chinese sold Windows 8 phones?

Hello Rick19992000,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. Look at your question I can say that yes you can change stores. The following article will walk you through it. I also highlighted the specific portion for you.
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
One last bit of advice is to check to make sure that certain features are going to be present when buying from a different region. You can compare by going to the different regions at the Apple Choose your Region Page

    If so, what would I have to do?
    I will get a contract here in Spain, but I'd like to continue using it once I return to the States.

    it's not an apple issue but a phone company issue
    and of cause it being in spain mean it's gsm so you can only use it with att in usa

  • If I buy Lightroom and Photoshop CC will I be able to use the applications on both my PC and my Mac?

    I have been using Photoshop CS3 for many years and finally decided it was time to upgrade. I use a Mac at home and a PC at work and also have an iPad Air. Are the Lightroom and Photoshop CC Apps compatable with both platforms or would I need to purchase two different memberships? I would obviously not use both at the same time.

    Yes, you can use your two activations  with your membership for either Mac or PC just as I am doing. I have a Macbook and Windows 7 laptop, and both work well.

  • Will I be able to use the iPhone 6 contract free (T-Mobile) in Turkey?

    I am planning to buy the iPhone 6 from US by a friend that's coming from there. I want it to work in Turkey, so that I can put my turkish sim card in the phone and use it as a regular iPhone. I will buy the contract-free version (T-mobile) but I've seen some contradictory responses on google for people who want to use the phone internationally. Will I face any problem? I really want to use it in Turkey.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • I use an iphone 3gs can i set one of the song as ring tone or i will only be able to use the inbuilt ringtones?

    i use an iphone 3gs can i set one of the song as ring tone or i will only be able to use the inbuilt ringtones?

    yes you can
    A. how to make a ringtone using iTunes
    First, open up iTunes in order to make a ringtone using iTunes. Find the song you want to turn into a ringtone by browsing through your music library.
    Next, find exactly what part of the song you want to make a ringtone using iTunes. For example, if you want to use a specific section of the song from 21 seconds to 40 seconds, make a note of where you want the ringtone to begin and end.
    Now, right click on the song you want to turn into a ringtone. Click "Get Info". Now, in order to make a ringtone using iTunes, click the "Options" tab.
    Check the "Start Time" check box. Type in the point in the song where you want the ringtone to start in the format "minute:seconds" (e.g. the second mark would be 0:20). You can also be more precise by adding a period and putting milliseconds in after that (e.g. 0:20.150, would be 20.150 seconds). Also, click the "Stop Time" check box and enter where you would like the ring tone to end. Keep in mind ringtones can only be around 39 seconds maximum. Press "Ok". We are almost done making a ringtone in iTunes
    Now, right click on the same song. Select "Convert AAC Version". If it is in another file format, you can go to "Edit" then "Preferences" and under the "General" tab click "Import Settings"; change the file format to AAC. After you select "Convert AAC Version" a new file will be created, but it will only be the segment of the song that you specified earlier.
    Now, you have to find the file you just created. Right click on the new, shorter song and select "Open in Windows Explorer". The file extension should be .m4a. Rename the extension to .m4r by right clicking the file and selecting "Rename".
    Now you can delete the shortened version of the song in your iTunes library. Then, double click the .m4r file and it will loaded into your iTunes Ringtone list. Now you can make a ringtone using iTunes!

  • Will Lightroom 5 be available on the Mac App Store?

    Will Lightroom 5 be available on the Mac App Store?

    Unbelievable. All it took was one iteration on the Mac App Store and we're back to being forced to buy the hard-to-install-and-likely-to-be-wrought-with-problems-DRM-delight version of the upgrade direct from Adobe?! I wish Adobe would decide on a distribution model and stick with it for the sake of its customers. I'm getting awfully fed up with having to navigate a different way of upgrading the software every time it becomes available. I might not bother this time. Get it right, Adobe. You can no longer assume you have a captive audience.

  • If my laptop breaks will I be able to use the software i purchased on another laptop?

    please answer my question asap as i want to know the answer before i decide to purchase the package which i also want to purchase asap.

    >a way to get adobe cc to work on older versions like adobe cs5 or 6?
    Your paid Cloud subscription will allow you to install (at least some) CS6 programs, but not CS5... and CS6 programs are no longer being updated, so if you have CS6 you have only the features available when development stopped
    >is there an older version package i could download
    I don't know if it is possible to download an older version of the Cloud
    You may still buy CS6 standalone (non-Cloud) programs at this link

  • I'm headed to Europe in a month with an iPad 2 w/ATT 3G. Will I be able to use the 3G without excess roaming fees?

    I'm headed to Europe in a month with an iPad 2 w/ATT 3G. Will I be able to use the 3G without excess roaming fees?

    I have just been back from Germany. Using GPRS/EDGE or 3G Roaming will certainly incur additional cost to you.  However, there are many service providers in Europe with different 3G using rates/KB and minimum KB usage per log-in.  Check price before you log-in to any network.
    Recommend to check 1) your local mobile operator for Roaming promotion in Europe or 2) buy International SIM from your country with very lower cost of calling, receiving calls, and using data (I am not sure your country has these kind of service provider).

    Hi Kristy,

  • Hi, I have an Ipad 2 and am planning a trip to Budapest,Hungary,  I have Verizon,  will I be able to use the Ipad 2 in Budapest?

    Hi
    I have an IPAD 2 and am planning a trip to Budapest, Hungary,  I use Verizon,  will I be able to use the Ipad 2  in Budapest?  Thank you.

    And you can of course use the iPad itself for any function that does not require an Internet connection. You can only use a cell network if Verizon has CDMA partners in Hungary, which I believe they do not have.

  • I have iWork '06 on my Mac (running OS 10.6.8). Will I be able to use the Keynote files it produces with the Keynote iPad app?

    Hi,
    I have iWork '06 on my Mac (running OS 10.6.8). Will I be able to use the Keynote files it produces with the Keynote iPad app?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    You probably can open the Keynote '06 files with Keynote for iOS but not the other way around. Files created by the iOS iWork apps can only be opened by iWork '09 apps on the Mac.
