Is it allowed to buy e.g. iBooks in a foreign country while being there?

I know it's not allowed to buy music or something else in a foreign iTunes-store since Apple has changed the iTunes-Licence.
Does the iTunes-Licence allow to purchase e.g. iBooks in the British iTunes-store while being in London on holiday? Can I use my account or do I need a British one? Do I need a British credit-card?

You would need a British credit card (I don't know if a gift card would work) and a billing address for that credit card in Britain. Basically I think the whole idea is you are supposed to be a true resident of the country.

Hi Joseph,
No, Apple doesn't have a buy back/trade in policy. eBay is probably your best bet.

What are the allowable dimensions of screenshots for ibooks?

What are the allowable dimensions of screenshots for ibookes? I know the requirement is very specific.
And what is the best tool to do so? I tried to use the native screenshot tool but it is hard to make the size precise.

Minimum size is 600 pixels in the shorter dimension. Maximum size is 2048 pixels in the longer dimension. That's what you get when you take a screenshot on a new iPad. (There is no point in having something larger than this.) Screenshots taken with an older iPad are 1024x768.
For my book, I just took screenshots on an iPad 2 (1024x768) and used those. They were accepted without complaint.

Can my wife I each use our personal itunes accounts at the store to buy apps or ibooks on "our", that is, the same ipad2?

Can my wife I each use our personal itunes accounts at the store to buy apps or ibooks on "our", that is, the same ipad2?

Yes you can!
All you need is to log out from the App store and log with the Apple ID that you wish to use on buying apps or books from the stores.
Do note that if you have apps in the iPad purchase using two different Apple IDs, whenever there is an update you need to log into the appropriate Apple ID to install the update. Though the device will show you the apps that needed updates but it will only update when it is logged in to the Apple ID that has purchased the app. So what you need to do is to log in to the appropriate Apple ID get the update then log out and log in with the other Apple ID for the other updates if relevant.

Minor correction on last post, Bootcamp, to run Windows XP, is slated for the next release of OS X called Leopard, not 10.4.5 which is already released.
Since you asked for opinions....I'd tend to buy current technology (and I did with the last of the G4 mac minis). While the new Intel-based macbook will have super specs, it will be first generation on a new platform. While Apple is doing almost realtime revisions to their current Intel-based products, the fact is there are some growing pains (read through any of the Intel-based product discussions). I prefer the growing pains be with someone elses money.
If you buy a current iBook, it's a mature platform, and it will continue to be able to run existing software, as well as any universal software. You don't have to consider running non-universal programs under the emulator (Rosetta is a great tool, but there's a performance hit of up to 50% under emulation mode).
Use the iBook for awhile, and by then Apple will be on the nth generation of the Intel-based macbooks. In any event, you'll be thrilled with the switch to mac.

Why does't apple allow you to read your iBooks library over the web from a browser or me account?

Why does't Apple allow you to read your iBooks library over the web from a browser or me account? I have time to read during the day via a browser, but not by Ipad or Iphone. I love the features that iBook offers, but I have had to settle for Google books which is slow to upgrade its features. I just want to be able to highlight, copy and past and make notes and also have the option to read a book in a browser like google books.

Wow.. I'm almost sorry that you spent so much time writing that post.
Unfortunately, it would have much more impact if it were true.
Just because you don't know how to do something... that doesn't mean it can't be done.
I do what you say can't be done every day.
You just need to put your iPod into manual update mode, and everything will be fine. You songs won't be greyed out, and you can play them with no trouble at all.
So, next time you need help with something, just ask for help and we'll help you. It'll certainly make yourself look less foolish this way.
Ranting and bashing Apple for no reason isn't going to win many people over.

I am in NZ and can't see books to buy. Are iBooks available in NZ?

New Zealand is not one of the territories where you sell books created with IBA. As far as know, the only books available in the NZ store are free books for which the copyright has expired.

Where can you buy a cheap ibook

Hey I was just wandering where I could buy a cheap ibook. I would like a G4 just because it is the newest one.

I have a nice iBook G4 1.33 12" with some accessories,
which I may be convinced to part with for about $1200.
And that's because I don't really want to sell it. The unit
just came out of three year AppleCare; no issues. Low
run time, two batteries; original OS X 10.4.(11) & it works
very well. Looks almost like new; been stored in a case.
In fact, the price has just gone up: $1500.
Second thought, it isn't for sale for under $5,000!
For some ideas on factory configurations for most things
Apple, see http://mactracker.ca for a downloadable database.
And for some ideas on repaired and guaranteed Macs, see
LowEndMac.com; and wegenermedia.com. They aren't junk
and don't compare in price with the millions of WinTel PCs.
Good luck & happy computing!

Unable to buy music or iBooks

When trying to buy music or iBooks (even free ones) the price button is ghosted out so can't download.
I can download on my Mac and then the ipad automatically downloads the sone/ book.
Any ideas what I've done wrong?

Why my Apple ID is allowed to buy only in iTunes Store Uruguay?

Why my Apple ID is allowed to buy only in iTunes Store Uruguay?

Because that is the store in which your account was opened and where your billing address is located. See Requirements for establishing an iTunes Store account in another country | iLounge Article

I bought an album on my iPhone and it never transferred to my iTunes account. It has disappeared now and I'm not allowed to buy it again. How can I find my missing music album or have the option to purchase it again?

Hello bubblegirl2,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your purchased album.
First, I recommend trying to download the album from you list of past purchases. Use the steps in the section titled "Download previous purchases on Mac or PC > iTunes Store" in the following article:
Download past purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you have tried those steps and still do not see the album, it may be that the album is hidden. Follow the steps below in iTunes on your computer to check if it is hidden and unhide it:
To unhide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
If you're not already signed in, choose Store > Sign in.
Choose Store > View My Account. (You may be asked to enter your password again).
On your Account Information summary, scroll down to the "iTunes in the Cloud" section and click Manage.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, TV shows, Apps, or Books from the top.
Click the Unhide button next to the item you would like to restore.
Note: If the item you are unhiding is not already downloaded on your computer locally, it will begin downloading automatically.

Going to buy the 12'' ibook, how much GB, GHz, and MB is good?

i want to buy the 12'' ibook, for college, i will not be using it for video games or videos, just exclusively internet and word documents, and some pictures. whats a good enough GB, GHz, and MB for me in my situation? thanks!!

Here's something to look at first: iBook and PowerBook Reliability:
http://www. macintouch.com/reliability/laptops.html
To run Tiger, you can do it with a iBook G4 with a 30GB hard drive, a 800Mhz processor, and 512 MB of memory. The 30GB hard drive is really small and bigger would be better. More MB of memory and a faster processor would be better.
To run Panther, you could do it with the same processor and hard drive, and 256 MB of RAM. But again, more RAM is better.
I am not familiar with other iBook models, but possibly you could also use a G3 or older for your purposes.
You also want to get all of the original CD's that come with whichever iBook you select.
Good luck!

Im traveling to New York in a few months and considering buying the new iPad while im there. Can anyone give me advice on what i need to buy while im there so as to be able to use to use it back here in the UK?? Any advice is much appreciated.

Im travelling to New York soon and consrdering buying a iPad while out there. Can anyone give me advice what i need to buythanks.
to allow me to use it back here in the UK?? Many thanks
Mark th

Buy the "AT&T" model iPad, not the Verizon one (which does not support SIM cards used most everywhere in the world). The ATT model comes with a SIM card, but you can then get one from a UK provider. Be sure it's a "microSIM" card, not the larger kind when back in the UK.

Is it allowed to buy e.g. iBooks in a foreign country while being there?
