How to get all files & flolder

You would have to have an unlocked iphone 5 of which is not available yet. If you purchase a locked phone then you would have to ask the carrier if they would unlock it for you. Also your warranty would not be valid in another country if purchased in the united states, its not an international warranty.

Hi i got giving a iphone 4 in a different country was wondering if i can get it unlocked? so that i can use another sim

You will need to contact the carrier to which the phone is locked. That carrier locked the phone. That carrier determines if the phone can be unlocked and the requirements you must meet. Contact that carrier. This is NOT an Apple issue.

Buying an iphone in a different country.

If i buy an Iphone here in Canada, it should work when i return to my country right? (New Zealand)

You will need to buy the device direct from Apple that has no affiliation with a carrier, like Rogers for instance, so that the phone will accept any network SIM.
A word of warning, "no contract" or "no subsidery" does not mean it hasn't been locked to a carrier it just means that you will pay the full price but still be tied to a carrier.
The Canadian Apple store seems to sell SIM free iPhones, meaning any network SIM card can be used. However check with the network that you want to use your new iPhone with is an iPhone supplier because with the new iOS 5.1 update networks that do not support the iPhone won't work with the iPhone and also you will need a micro SIM too, you can no longer simply cut your mini SIM down to the same size

Charging my iPhone in a different country

I will be traveling to South Africa and will be taking my iphone and ipad with me. For what itʻs worth I will also be taking my MBP.
I have the adapter so I can plug my MBP into the wall to charge it up. I am assured that the computer is modulated for use in any country and using the adapter will not fry it to kingdom come.
Here is my question:
I found this device: http://us.kensington.com/html/13926.html (Kensington Travel Plug Adapter). It will allow me to plug my USB devices into any wall outlet for charging.
While the packaging doesnʻt specifically say that itʻs good for use in South Africa, Kensington Tech Support says that if the prongs line up, itʻs usable. (I read somewhere that SA uses the same wiring as some European countries...I just canʻt remember which ones.)
What I am concerned about, however, is whether using the device will fry my iphone/ipad. Are these Apple devices modulated for use in other countries? The Kensington device is an adapter only, it will not convert nor modulate the power coming from the wall outlet.
Or am I just safer plugging both into my computer for recharging?

The supplied iphone charger is a world charger that will work anywhere with the proper adapters. Apple sells such here:

HT1807 I travelled to a different country & using a new sim; with the change in sim, I have been unable to use iMessage & FaceTime. Cant replace replace the earlier no with the current one and it reads error. how to correct this?

I traveled to a different country and using a new sim/new carrier. With the change in the sim, I have been unable to use the iMessage--outside of WiFi coverage area, and FaceTime at all time. I believe it is due to the phone number registered as an address in the phone, which has not changed with the change of sim; so it countinues to showing as an error while varifying the data.
Wonder if any of you are in a position to advise as to how to address the following.
1. I need to input correct phone no, meaning the number I am using in the correct location.
2. I need to activate FaceTime and be able to use it.
3. I need to be able to use iMessage and/or ordinary sms while outside of WiFi coverage area.
It may be mentioned in my current location I don't have GPRS on the cell phone which is the case in my regular station.
Thanks for your help.

Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

How to Change Country with iTunes Match
Although I am confused as to why you think you need to cancel iTunes Match. Didn't you originally subscribe on the US store? Or were you signed into the Indian store with a different Apple ID?

Hello Natethemate,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with changing the country for the iTunes Store on your iPhone. For this issue, I recommend signing out and back into the iTunes Store on your iPhone:
Sign in with a different Apple ID
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
Tap Sign Out.
Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
If the issue persists after signing out and back in, I recommend quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.

If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes Store app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

It's strange because I can change my AppleID country without this message.
So what to do? Just try to do this again, but on another device. You may also erase cookies and history of your browser.
I hope it will be helpful, good luck!

Apple says my iPhone 5 is locked but I'm currently using it in a different country. How is that possible??

HOw insist that I can use it in a different country when Apple says it's locked?!

You need to ask the carrier the iPhone is locked to, to officially unlock, nothing Apple can do.

HT2731 How can I change my store to US, now that I am in the US? A link in a previous thread says not accessible as the profile still shows different country..

As long as you have a form of payment (credit or debit card) with a USA source, and with a billing address in the USA, then you just need to change your payment information on your account to that, change your country in the store settings, and you will then be able to shop in the USA store.
Your AppleID will work in any country's store, as long as your payment source and billing addres are also specific to that country (and you are in that country as well, as there may be IP filters in place to stop use outside of the country).

Then call the carrier it is currently locked to. They, and ONLY they can process an unlock request for you.

The apple ID on my iphone 5 is different from the ID on my computer, my iTunes and Apple account.   I am unable to change the Apple ID on my pone even with syncing to the computer and itunes.    Thanks.

Rudegar,
     I appreciate your advice.    I followed your instructions and it changed.   I am grateful for the insight.
Thanks

Most likely the phone is locked to a carrier that you haven't tried yet.
