Is it better to buy an iPhone5 at an Apple store or a retail store like Verizon?
FYI, this is the iPad forum, iPhone forum is here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/using_iphone
With that said, it depends. If you are going to buy an unlocked iPhone, only Apple sells those. If you are going to buy one with a plan attached to a carrier, it would make sense to go to the carrier and see what kinds of plans they offer. Rather than buying one from Apple with a predfined plan.

BUying the phone form the Apple store vs the phone store
Is there any advantage to buying the phone from the Apple store vs the ATT people? I found with my Treo the ATT folks don't know much about it and also didn't offer any insurance for it either!
There used to be a huge difference. AT&T would let you order, while would make you come and stand in line. With the 3GS, Apple allowed pre-orders.
Now, there is no difference. If you are the only person on your account, it is pretty simple to set it up. If you have multiple cell phones on your accounts, it may be better to let ATT set it up to handle the complexity. (But either way, you can call AT&T 1-800 number to resolve any issues.)

i tried to install a new os x mountain lion, but the system asked me to provide the apple id and password that was used to buy the os from the apple store online. which i don't have. how do i go ahead to install my new os x on the mC
If you don't have the Apple ID and password, how did you get Mountain Liomn in the first place? Without the Apple ID and password, you'll need to buy it to download it.

I was trying to buy an app from the apple store, it asked for confirmation , when I re-entered my credit card details, got the message that your payment method is not valid!!!! How can I fix this problem?
Is this a pre-paid card thing? Or different billing address than your iTS account?

Hi, I just wanted to buy two iphones from the apple store usa with a lebanese credit card. Is it possible?
The US Apple Store accepts US-issued credit cards only. And they will ship only to a US address. Whether or not a physical Apple Store would accept a Lebanese credit card I don't know.

is there any obvious benefit to buying my imac from the apple store vs. Best Buy? Saves $40 so I am contemplating not haggling with crowds at Apple Store. Any thoughts?
Return policy may be different from Apple's vs Best Buy. Regardless of crowds, only buy from Apple. Dealing with Best Buy in the future, if there's a problem it may not be worth what you believe to be a $40 savings.
You can make an appointment in advance at the Genius Bar.

Can I buy Iphone 5 from US Apple Store to Greece?
The Iphone 5 is too expensive in Greece.
Can I buy Iphone 5 from US Apple store and send it to Greece ????
Can I use a US Iphone 5 to Greece ??You will have to pay local sales tax in the US.. New york sales taxes are, I believe, nearly 9%. Then, assuming you are being legal, you will be paying your local VAT and import duties, and the carriers fee.
You end that with very little difference in price. And you end up with no warranty. And an incompatible 4G chipset it you want to receive 4G. -

Buying iPhone 4S in USA Apple store, but using it in Europe...
Good day,
I am planning to buy a iPhone 4S but if I buy it in the US Apple store, can I use it in Europe with their sim card peramenantly?
Thanks
EricYou are quite correct. However I think it's a pretty strong "may" given that Apple is marketing the unlocked version as "When you travel internationally, you can also use a micro-SIM card from a local GSM carrier.". During travel there's no less opportune a time for your phone to go down. Apple understands this. While my 3G (carrier unlocked) has never required service. On other iOS devices Apple has been more than accommodating to the point of honoring their 30 days return policy in another country but pleading with me to save them the paperwork and sending it back to the US as a return myself. The fact they knew the paperwork routine suggests they would have accommodated me had I insisted.

I forgot all the answers to my questions, now i can't buy any apps from the apple store. What will i do... Please help....
Go to appleid.apple.com. From there, go to Manage Apple ID. Log in and go to Password and Security. When you get to the page about answering your security questions, click on the link for Forgot My Answers. That will send an email to the rescue email address on how to reset. If you did not provide a rescue email address then you will need to go to Express Lane Support https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action for help.

I am a resident of Ecuador with an ecuadorian credit card.I used to buy applications from the us apple store and updated them whenever updates were available with no problem at all. Since approximately a month,I am not able to purchase any new applicaton or update the old ones.Apple send me back to the ecauadorian apple store were there are almost no applications and where I can not even update the ones I have.
How can I solve this problem.? Before I was able too purchase applications anywhere in the world.This is absurd.
Can anybody help me please?
Regards,
RefuriosoYou can't, you will need to be in the US with a US billing address (and credit card issued by a US bank) and iTunes account to be able to buy/download from the US store - the terms of use of the US store say (and other country's stores will be similar) :
The App and Book Services are available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the App and Book Services from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.
If there are apps that you want that aren't currently in the Ecuadorian store then you can try requesting that they be added, but ultimately it's the app developers that will have to grant Apple a license to sell them there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html -

if i buy imac(intel) in canada apple store and then after i want 2 gift my brother in india so u can ship it in india
You will need to ask the authorities in India and Canada, this is a technical help forum. I suspect you are simply trying to save your brother money however I suspect it would be easier and less expensive in the long term if he buys the system he wants in India.

The App Store is now available in Azerbaijan starting July 2011, so you're in luck. The App Store Azerbaijan has will contain apps, podcasts, iTunes U courses and royalty-free books. There are a number of Azerbaijan-centered apps in the App Store as well, so you're in luck.
