If I purchase the Ipad2 Wifi in Australia can i still update it in the uk?
Hi,
I am looking to purchase the 16gb wifi Ipad 2 whilst in Australia. In about 9 months when I return home to the UK will it work ok? Will I still be able to receive updates etc?
Thanks!
You will, but be advised of the following:
1. If you set it up on a computer with iTunes in Australia and you sync to that compyuter, you'll need the same computer and iTunes account when you come back to the UK.
2. The App Store in Australia and the UK are different. You'll need a credit card registered in Australia in order to download and buy apps from the Australian App Store.
3. When you go to the UK. some of the apps you purchased in Australia may not be available in the UK. And, you'll need to have a credit card registered in the UK, in order to purchase and download Apps in the UK.
4. iPads sold in the US are not carrier locked. But I don't know if that is true in Australia, so before you purchase one, make sure you are not getting one that is carrier locked.
5. If you buy a 3G model, it would be best to buy the GSM (requiring a Micro Sim) model as opposed to the CDMA model, unless you know in advance that CDMA service is available in the UK.
It's late and my mind is beat. There may be other things you should consider, but this is a good beginning.

I have done a photobook in iphoto and have had them produced and sent out to me.
I have accidentally lost the "book" in iPhoto so can't reorder more via the usual way.
Does anyone know if the Photo company producing the books keep them on file, that way allowing you to buy more copies without actually resending
in the book and photos.
I usually use MyPublisher and they actually have your book on file and then you can just print them as you wish.
ThanksHave just found the book and files on the external hard drive.
All good.

I can't connect to the internet on my computer and i need to restore my ipod so i was going to restore it on another computer, but wasn't sure whether i'd still be able to update it on my computer because I don't want to have to transfer all my music to the other computer?
If necessary,
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I'm in the US right now and want to buy ipad2 wifi 3G. Can I change the SIM card when I get back to my country in Indonesia?
Yes, as long as you purchase the GSM version (AT&T) and your Indonesian carrier supports an iPad with a micro-sim. Unlike the iPhone in the USA, the iPad is not locked to a carrier.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

I have the jetpack wifi and someone told me I need to change the name of it to "FBI Surveillance Van so that people would not try to tap onto it. How do I accomplish this?
Changing the SSID is a good idea, but I do not suggest changing it to something so troll enticing as "FBI Surveillance Van". A SSID like that is only going to draw attention to you and your network and challenge malicious users to target you. I advise not putting a target on your back and stick to a custom but not well known SSID.
I normally suggest broadcasting an SSID of something a little less confrontational. Something like combining your favorite color with your favorite sports team.
All jetpacks are a little different but they should all have a way to sign in and complete configuration changes. If you connect to your Jetpack and look up the IP Address of your Default Gateway you will know the IP of the Jetpack. Plug in the IP Address of the Jetpack into a web browser and sign in with the admin password. Review the security options that are available until you find a SSID or broadcast name or network name field.
While you are at it you should also make sure you have a custom WiFi password configured with WPA2 security. Custom WiFI passwords are going to be much more helpful than a creative SSID at keeping malicious users off your network. Rule of thumb for WiFi passwords is the longer the better.
A good tool to evaluate your WiFi password is here (shoot for at least a few years):

i have apps to be updated but when i try to update them a message pops out saying "You have updates for other accounts, please sigh in with the other id". Can some one help me how can i still update the same with the new apple id ive created. As i dont have the access to the earlier id anymore.
You cannot. The apps are assigned to that Apple ID and there is nothing you can do to change that. You could choose to download them again with the new Apple ID, any paid apps will need to be purchased again.
Hope that helps. -
I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore? The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings. They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with. Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts. This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...? Any help here would be greatly apprecaited. I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.
You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

I have three different listings for Bob Seger on my iPod (Bob Seger, Bob Seger System and Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band) How can I put all 3 in the same artist folder without changing artist name?
Can you just create a new "Playlist", name it Bob Seger and drag what you want into the Playlist.

I accidentally deleted GarageBand on my MacBook Pro, version 10.6.8. The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above. Is it possible to still get the older version? OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?
The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above.
If your Mac can run MacOS X 10.6.8, it probably can be upgraded to Yosemite, if you don't have to stick to Snowleopard for other reasons.
Is it possible to still get the older version?
Amazon or eBay are still selling iLife '11 installer disks, and you could reinstall GarageBand from these DVDs. But it will be expensive.
Have you checked your backups, if you can restore GarageBand from a backup?
OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?
Sometimes the AppleStore Support will replace missing installer CDs for a fee. -

My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?
You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

Badge number nut updated with new mail in folders
I setup my exchange email to push folders as well as my inbox but only the inbox mail will update the badge number. If I get mail in a folder the phone just vibrates. Seems kind of pointless to have the mail pushed if the badge isn't updated as well.
