Is education pricing available outside of the US?

Dear forum,
I'm looking to purchase a new macbook air, and as a full time graduate student at a US university, I would like to take advantage of education pricing. I am however currently abroad in Japan doing fieldwork, and would purchase the computer in Japan. My question is, does the education discount offered in the US and Europe still apply? If so, can I purchase a new macbook air here in Japan and obtain the discount, or would I have to order the laptop in the US and pay for the extra shipping to Japan?
Any advice appreciated. Thanks!
NB: I have not been able to find any hint of educational discounts on the Japanese apple page at all, but presume that since it's a global corporation and they offer the discounts in Europe as well, Japan should also offer the discounts.

It is available to any registered student in any approved college or university world-wide. If you purchase in Japan your warranty will not be recognized in the US. You may not be able to find a computer with US keyboard.
If you visit the US online store you can then link to the education site. At the bottom of the page on the right you will find the US flag in a circle. Click on it to switch to another country. Once in the Japanese store look for the equivalent education page. Or simply go to the college or university in Japan where you are a student. They should be able to help you.
Aside from the warranty concern you will likely be charged a duty for bringing it into the US. Frankly, I think you are better off getting the computer in the US. And, you won't have to worry about whether the computer you get is legitimately an Apple computer and not a knock-off.

Education pricing for tutors?

Hi,
I am a full time tutor. I would like to purchase a MacbookPro and would like to know if I can qualify for the education pricing available on the online store? Thank you.

To qualify for that you usually need to be a student, staff, or faculty member of some accredited educational institution and have a .edu address.
If you have those things, then you should be set, otherwise you'll have to actually call Apple. These forums are generally user to user. That way Apple can take all the credit and disavow all the bad.

Is there education pricing for refurbished MacBooks?

Is there education pricing available on refurbished MacBooks?

LowLuster wrote:
No need to call and or contact Apple. Just go to the Refurb website page and if there is no educational discount link then they don't offer it on the refurbs.
Qualifying an answer with 'I don't think so' certainly is not definitive. Also your logic is not complete or comprehensive.
That refurbished units are not included in the education section may suggest that they are ineligible but does not necessarily exclude them. It simply may be an omission which is not that unusual in business. Unless there is a direct statement excluding them, or a statement that ONLY these items are eligible for the discount, it remains an open issue. Receiving an affirmative answer from Apple does settle this by removing such doubts.
Ciao.

MacBook Air with Education Pricing?

How much would the 13" MacBook Air 128GB be with student education pricing?

Go to the Apple online store, click the education store link on the left, choose your school, then you can see the various education prices.

Is purchasing online the only way to get the education pricing?

I need to get a laptop, software and other accessories, but I'm not exactly sure which laptop would be the best fit without going to my local apple store first. Is it possible to take advantage of the education pricing at my local apple store or is it only offered online?

You can get educational pricing for Macs at any Apple Store. You'll need to bring proof of eligibility; a student ID, acceptance letter, faculty/staff ID or other proof of employment, etc. Educational pricing on software and accessories (where academic discounts are offered) are, unless things have changed recently, only available online.

Where can I see the list of Ibook 2 educational textbooks available to the USA?

Hi,
Is there a way for non-Americans to see the list of educational textbooks available in the USA?
or... would any American user kindly list them as of today?
PS: I'm not American (Canadian).
Thanks

After hours of fidgeting and looking into it, I managed to change stores in itunes and was able to look at the selection you have.
Reading the comments proved to be quite insightful: while the idea behind ibooks' textbooks is highly appealing, it is far from living to its potential. There were a lot of comments on published textbooks such as Pearson's and McGraw Hill's (aka major publishers) that were riddled with bugs, incorrect information (especially on quizzes) and, worst of all, spelling mistakes (that aren't found in the print version). The redeeming factor may be that purchased textbooks are automatically updated - however, there were few comments on how textbooks were improved other than spelling.
I find it underwhelming to see how much space these textbooks take up while their level of interactivity is not up to par with the advertising. A lot of comments dealt with how videos would not play and that the interactive content was poorly implemented.
At 2-3 gigs per book and the reasons listed above, I do hope smaller publishers capitalize on this oportunity to produce higher quality and interactive content. After all, if it is not for its added interactive features, the pedagogical value is severly limited.
My two cents (as a Canadian teacher).
I'd sure would love to hear how other teachers really do think about ibooks' textbooks, including American educators and their hands-on experience.
Thanks

Bought my iMac through Apple Education Pricing. Does this mean the warranty has been extended from the original one year to three years?

No. If you want an extended warranty you still must purchase it. It is not included with education pricing.

Is eduction pricing available on the iPad Mini Retina?

Ive looked at the Apple products on eduction pricing at my University, the only iPad that seems to be avalible under education is the iPad 2 and iPad Air.

Not for individual purchasers, if that's what you mean, no. There is no educational discount for individuals or on single quantities for any iOS device or iPod. Schools purchasing in quantities of 10 or more can get a discount on most if not all iPad models, at least in some countries.
If you're purchasing for your school, check the education Apple Store, or contact your Apple account executive. If you're purchasing for yourself, you'll need to pay full retail unless you can find a dealer who offers a discount or can accept a refurbished unit.
Regards.

Ok so am in 9th grade and for christmas i can get a macbook pro i was wondering if i can get the education pricing and am in public school i read it and it says k - 12 school

please respond

It doesn't appear so. :-(
If either of your parents works for a school, or you have a sibling in college or accepted to college, they would qualify for the discount:
Apple offers special education pricing on Apple computers, software and select third party products to college students, parents buying for a college student, or teachers, homeschool teachers, administrators and staff of all grade levels. Students who have been accepted to college are also eligible.
K12 - Any employee of a public or private K-12 institution in the United States is eligible, including homeschool teachers. In addition, school board members who are currently serving as elected or appointed members are eligible. PTA or PTO executives currently serving as elected or appointed officers are eligible.

Hi! I'm currently in Singapore & my sister's in the Philippines, I'm planning to buy a Mac for her thru education pricing, do you think they'll allow me eventhough she's studying in the PH?

Please help me (:
by the way, she'll be coming over here next week, is it enough if I just show them her ID in the Philippines?
thanks (:

If you’ve been accepted to college, are a college student, or are the parent of a college student, you can take advantage of special pricing on Mac computers and certain software and accessories. College and K-12 faculty, staff, and professors can also use Apple education pricing.
You might want to go apple/students/how to buy and get some more info than what I've given. I tried getting the discount because I have two kids who use the computer for school and I couldn't get it. I would think if she has some sort of proof that shes been accepted to a college or in college you could just take her with you and pick up the bill when she's done shopping for her computer.

I bought my Mac with education pricing a week ago and missed the $100 Mac App Store promo

Long story short, I bought my first Mac a week ago with Education Pricing, mainly because Apple marked their education site with a banner reading "Last Call for Apple Education Pricing." Lo and behold, I received an email from Apple this morning about a new promotion for those buying with Education Pricing getting a $100 credit to the Mac App Store if they buy between June 16, 2011 and September 20, 2011. Is there any way I can receive the $100 credit even though I bought a few days before the promotion started? I would have waited longer to buy if I hadn't seen the "Last Call" banner on the Education Pricing page.

You can get a $100 education discount no matter when you buy it. The email seemed to be just informaing you about the offer. You can take your receipt into the Apple Store and they should be able to deduct the discount from your purchase. If they are "rude" about it, then return your laptop and repurchase it with the discount.

Cloud tv Android App not available outside the USA

Why is the new cloud TV android app not available to people outside of the USA (Google play store restriction)?
As far as I can tell the iOS app can be installed by anyone so this seems unnecessary.
Also on the EU Toshiba website it mentions the cloud TV app for android.
On a separate note, does anyone know when the firmware update will be released which provides miracast support for the cloud TV platform?

Details are not known to me but on the Toshiba Cloud TV Portal you can find this disclaimer;
+ Toshiba Cloud TV is available in the TV series L4, L6, L7, L9, M6, M8 and M9.+
+ The content of Toshiba Cloud TV differs from country to country and may change or discontinue without prior notice.+
+ Errors and omissions excepted.+
+ Features found within the Toshiba Cloud TV app may vary depending on country selection.+
+ The MediaGuide and Toshiba Cloud TV app availability are country dependent.+

Education Pricing for Canada Resident

The website keeps giving me the run around when trying to search for my University. It redirects me to the US site. Is the Education Pricing not available for Canadian Users?

Just in case you haven't found it already, as you probably have, or for anyone else with the same question.

HT201232 If I am an international student can I apply to educational pricing? If not how can i do it?

I live outside US, and i need a laptop because I took some clases in which I need programation in iOS. So I need to buy a Mac Book Pro. How can i apply to educational pricing?

If you are enrolled in a college or university in your country that is part of the Academic program, then you can get educational pricing. Start by going to the Educational site for your country's online Apple Store. Enter your school. If it has been accepted then you can get educational pricing either online or at an authorized Apple vendor and/or school computer store. You will need proof that you are enrolled.

DirectNIC's customers outside of the U.S. are unable to connect to their email accounts using their blackberries

I work for directNIC.com and our customers who are located in foreign countries are unable to send/receive email on their blackberry devices. The problem started at the beginning of this month and we can not figure out what the problem is. Our U.S. blackberry customers are not having any problems. Our non-U.S. customers have reported errors such as needing to revalidate the account and when they tried to they received an invalid domain or invalid username/password message. Some customers said the email just quit working and they received an unable to connect error message. I've had one customer provide me with a link to their wireless provider's blackberry email account setup and I am unable to setup their email account there or any email account that uses any of our servers. All of our customer's email accounts work in their email clients on their computers, their other phones, and through their webmail it is only their blackberries. We've white listed all of blackberry's IP addresses and we've checked the server logs to see if there were any connection attempts when I tried to setup the email accounts through the customer's online blackberry interface and there wasn't even an attempt to connect to the server. The error message that I receive is as follows:
Email address domain not found:
The email address domain 'insert domain name here' cannot be found. Please verify this
information is correct. If the error persists contact 'insert domain name here' (your
email provider)
The problem isn't with just one wireless provider it's with multiple providers in multiple countries but the U.S. customers aren't reporting any problems. I am able to setup my personal email account through his blackberry site, an email account from my work through his blackberry site, my yahoo.com email address, and my hotmail.com email address. The only email accounts that do not work are the email accounts that are on any of our servers.   Some of these servers have different server configuration but all of them have all of blackberry's IP addresses whitelisted. Our premium hostng email servers have the same software installed on them as my work email server does and my work email account works fine when I try to set it up through blackberry but none of the premium hosting email accounts that I tried to setup through this customers interface will work. The problem is only with blackberry devices and is only with customers outside of the U.S. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas please let us know.
Thanks,
Priscilla

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Sorry for the delay replying...while your post is a bit old now, it still deserves a response.
First -- these forums are not a formal channel for support from RIM. Rather, they are user-to-user support forums where users help other users. As such, it is unlikely that RIM will see and respond to your inquiry.
What I suggest is that you have your affected users exercise their formal support channel -- which is available via their carrier. The carriers have the ability to escalate cases into RIM for resolution.
Best!
