Is it possible to purchase an iPad in the US, to take back and use in the UK
Is it possible to purchase an iPad in the US, and take back home to UK for use? I'm not sure if I would have to insert a UK sim into it, or if it would work as is.
In relation to the new Ipad with retina display Wi-Fi + Cellular version
After doing some research and speaking with various apple customer care representatives here in the UK the following is what I could find:
UK will be getting the A1460 model Ipad sold in the US (different mains adaptor).
Part number for the Ipad: MD522B/A
I also found the following IPAD A1460 models on the web from a website which seems to be written with Japanese characters
http://www.speedbusiness.net/shop/products/list_314.html
■Apple iPad with RD 16GB MD525xx/A
■Apple iPad with RD 16GB MD522xx/A
■Apple iPad with RD 32GB MD526xx/A
■Apple iPad with RD 32GB MD523xx/A
■Apple iPad with RD 64GB MD527xx/A
■Apple iPad with RD 64GB MD524xx/A
So you can see that the part number MD522B/A given to me by Apple UK tallies up with A1460 16GB cellular version.
Since you can use Ipad internationally with a local sim of the local country then Ipad A1460 bought from the US will work just fine in the UK. At the moment A1460 in the US is the Verizon/Sprint version if you don't know the model number. (So to clarify It is not locked to Sprint/Verizon (contrary to what I have been told by all the apple reps I spoke to here in the UK - Apple should at least train/inform their reps to say the right things)).
If you want data connection in the UK just get a sim card for Ipad from
EE for 4g LTE connection
or
T-mobile, Vodafone, 3, and etc for 3G+ connection.
The warranty is only relevant if the Ipad bough inthe US is different to what is sold in the UK. But from what I could find the parts are the same, i.e. screen, cover, battery, camera, etc. So if anything goes wrong you can go to Apple UK and they should fix it for you under warranty.
If you can get away with not paying customs charges then for example 32GB Wi-Fi + Cellular version comes to about about £490 ($720 + lets say 8.5% sales tax if bought in LA and dividing the total by 1.589 conversion rate between $ and £ ). That is around £89 cheaper than the £579 for the same model sold in the UK.
Customs limit for importing without customs charge of a single item is £135 and it seems £390 collectively as pointed above. So anything above that in theory you should declare. But obviously that is not practical and customs don't question many of the items. So add up the shoes, jeans, and that digital camera you bought and do the maths.

Im From United Arab Emirates and I would like to purchase mini Ipad, however, the option for buying doesnt appear for me ?! is there a list of countries !!!!!?
Unfortunately, Toshiba USA doesn't ship there, and it's not available to download. You'd have to see if there's a third-party that could sell you it or have someone you know in the US order it and then ship it to you. Sorry.

Is it Possible in Purchase Order that putting the BOM, all the components ?
Is it Possible in Purchase Order that putting the BOM, all the components of that particular ges populated in the Rowt ? This is necessary to select single - single items is PO..
We are also using MRP and Forecast. We want to use this method in case of placing URGENT Purchase Order without considering WH stock + PO ordered + ....................
What kind of Query we would write , that putting the BOM in the UDF, the componenets get populated in Purchase Order...
Please give complete query.................The query I have provided earlier needs to be set in the ItemCode field at the row level and not on your User field at the header.
The query below (same as earlier with the addition of the user field name - please verify) will show the Child Items of the BOM item who code you have entered at the Header level in your UDF.
SELECT T0.Code FROM [dbo\].[ITT1\] T0 WHERE T0.Father = $\[OPOR.U_BOMNAME]
This will not automatically fire but the user has to first enter the Vendor Code and then enter the U_BOMName and then in the Item code field press Shift+F2 which will fire the above query FMS displaying the child Items for this BOM.

I have purchased an iPAD in the United Arabic Emirates and now found that Face Time is not included in UAE. If I reset my iPAD in an other country will Face Time be installed on my devise?
FaceTime is, by Government regulation, removed fro iDevices sold in the UAE, and cannot be instaled on these devices in any way. Even outside the country.
You will need to get a non UAE iPad to have Facetime. -

Make sure you are logged in with the same Apple ID, email or phone # as the iPhone. -
Thank you for your time
You can use an iPhone as a personal hotspot (if your carrier supports it), or get a mifi device and use that as a mobile hotspot for it - the iPad will see them as wifi networks.

When I purchae my iPad, my user ID was set up as my email address, now I am not working for the company and my user ID is not working. I need to change my iPad user ID
You could go to settings/itunes & app store, tap on the ID and then log out. Tap on create new ID and do that and then log in with that ID. You would need to turn off imessage and facetime and turn them back on and activate them with the new ID. You will need to delete the icloud account save any contents to the device and create a new account. Remember that all purchases are linked to the old ID and can only be updated etc with that ID

Can I transfer their games to their iPad or do I need to repurchase them?
I do not want to keep them on my iPad.
Thanks
NicoleSounds like you all use the same Apple ID.
I would suggest everyone have their own Apple ID's.
If you and the kids do use the same Apple ID and use iCloud, by removing their information from your device then you also will be removing the information from their devices.. -
I did not choose "use icloud" option for storing during my initial setup. How can I reset icloud account, so it can be used for storing.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you are planning on using iCloud to store files, forget about iCloud and use a cloud storage service like SkyDrive or Dropbox. iCloud is focused on information sync between the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac and PC instead of storing files like MobileMe. It's not worth using iCloud for this.
If you still want to set up iCloud, open Settings > iCloud, log in with your Apple ID and follow its steps -
Stolen phone, is it possible to purchase a replacement at the upgrade price?
I purchased an iPhone 5 about 2 mo's ago, upgrading from my iPhone 3 (the new phone cost $200).
The phone was stolen from a gym locker about a week ago; I shut it down with AT&T and have had Apple lock it if it's connected to the internet. I didn't have any insurance on it (of course!)
Is it possible to get a replacement phone for the upgrade price, instead of paying $600! Seems that the phone is worthless now, since it's locked and deactivated, but I'm stuck with the remainder of the 2 yr contract! Obviously I'm not looking for a free phone, I just don't want to pay the full $600 since I'm paying AT&T every month fror the contractas it is....
Any advice?
Thanks!
Alan.You would need to ask AT&T what they will sell the phone to you for. Sometimes carriers will sell you preowned phones.
