MacBook for South Korea

I will be moving to South Korea for 2 years and would like to know what issues I may run into in South Korea in regards to support and connectivity of a MacBook. I am leaving the iBook with my husband and have purchased an iMac for my parents all with the thinking that I would purchase a new MacBook and use it to video chat with my husband, parents and friends back in the States. I do not want to buy a PC - but on the other hand, I don't want to have connectivity issues while I'm away.
Please helpl!!!!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4

The iPhone supports UMTS/HSDPA (850, 1900, 2100 MHz)

W-CDMA is UMTS

Until recently, Korea required all cellphone use Korean designed software, which ruled out the iPhone, but that changed recently.

Section code required for South Korea - Asset Retirement, Transfer

Hello,
We have configure the Korea client to have one Business place and section code. However, No extended WHT is activated.
Problem encountered 'Enter section code' during the ABAON, ABAVN and ABUMN. We have configure the business in Evaluation group and the asset master is updated with the respective value.
I have been searching through the forum and SAP notes and get no clues. I understand some of peer's for South Korea Asset configuration do not require the business placess configred in the Evaluation group and it still works.
I have experience the Thailand, it didn't create this problem for me, with WHT activated.
May i know is this a bug of SAP?
Thank you so much in advance.

What is the error message number? Check if you can find any notes suggested by SAP.

Using my USA MacBook in South Korea

Okay. I bought my second iBook six months ago, and I am so pleased with it. I only have an adaptor to use here in South Korea, and it seemed to work just fine without the voltage adaptor. I have been here about a month now, though, and have recently noticed some warpage around the casing where I attach the charger to my computer. The area gets warm when I am charging it but not unduly so. Just warm to the touch.
I have arranged to get a voltage adaptor sent to me in the next week, but I do not know that this is the problem. I know a few other people who have computers--Apples, too--and they only use adaptors without voltage convertors.
Any thoughts or ideas? I will be so grateful...
Heather

Just noticed your posts says MacBook in the title but iBook in the text. The following answer is for the MacBook.
A voltage adapter is a waste of money on the MacBook. The magsafe adapter is rated for 100 VAC to 240 VAC. The only thing required is a plug adapter for the country you use it in which you said you have. The heat is fairly normal from other posts on the subject. MacBooks usually run around 60º C for normal usage up to 80º C for CPU intensive work. Check this link for more on heat issues. Apple Notebooks: Operating Temperatures The area you mention is near the CPU so it generates the most heat there.
The warpage could be from the heat but may also be a problem with the case. You could talk to apple about it if you are concerned with it.

Plant Abroad functionality for South Korea with Company Code in India

Hi,
I need help on SD functionality set up with regards to Plants abroad functionality for the Parent company in India and a manufacturing Plant in South Korea.
Has anyone work on such scenarios with plant abroad in South Korea. If yes, please help with the SD setup especially CIN and taxation requirements from SD side w.r.t. a South Korean Plant.
Thanks a ton in advance.
Sameer

Hello Sameer,
I am working for Plants Abroad Funtionality for one Company Code with several Plants across Countries in Europe. Here there is a Standard feature given by SAP for INTRASTAT (Eupore) reporting. Also in Europe we can transfer stock from say plant in Germany to another PLant in France with charging any Tax.
But in your case you have Indian Company Code having Plant in South Korea... I don't know whether it is supported in SAP or not...
Also legally I wonder whether Indian Companies can own Plant in South Korea?
Infact most probably in your case there will be a seperate Company Code for Korean Plant... If that is the case then you don't require Plants Functionality.
Can you please further details of your Business Requirements?
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta

IPhone for South Korea

Are there any iPhones that work in South Korea. I've been researching the requirements and it looks like a WCDMA 2100 Mhz phone is the only one that will work. The specs on the iPhones mention 2100, but not WCDMA. Is it the same? Or do I need to look for a different brand?

The iPhone supports UMTS/HSDPA (850, 1900, 2100 MHz)

Ignoring the customization of Business Place & Section Code for South Korea

Hi All,
We are in the process of upgrading from R/34.0B to ECC6.0.
with reference to withholding tax customization, as per ECC6.0 we have to maintain business places & section codes to post any FI document, where every time we have to enter Business Place for posting.
But our requirement is to ignore the customization and want to go ahead with posting FI document without inputting business place or section code is there any way to by-pass this customization?
Thanx in Advance

Kumar

This is a funtional question..

Traveling to South Korea

I'm planning to travel to South Korea. I like to make/receive calls from/to South Korea and US. In this case, what is the best option I can combine to purchase Skype products?I'll have my Sprint HTC Evo 4G brought to South Korea with unlimited data plan. What I was thinking after reading various skype plan options,
Buy Online number for South Korea.Buy monthly subscription for both US and South Korea for both mobile and landlines.
In this senario, the following is my questions.
1. I can't buy Online Number for South Korea with my US credit card. How can I buy O.N. for South Korea? I'm a South Korea citizen living in NYC.
2. With this online number, Is all incoming calls are free for myself no matter where the calls originates from (US or South Korea)?
3. With Monthly subscription(I think this is for outgoing call subscription only, not incoming call), do I get unlimited outgoing calls or do I still need to pay for minutes I use?

Gald to see that you have done research on your own before posting
1. Why can't you purchase ON with US credit card? I can see your last payment was not finished, but did you get any errors?
2. Yes, calls to your Online Number in Skype are free for you. In Skype you don't pay for incoming calls.
3. For US we have for example Unlimited US subscription, which covers landline and mobiles both.
For South Korea we don't have unlimited subscription that would cover mobiles. Maximum is 400min per month(landlines and mobile). Unlimited South Korea covers only landlines.
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/prices/pay-monthly#KR
With unlimited subscription you can make up to 10 000 minutes per month and you don't pay extra for minutes.
Please check fair usage policy applies to all subscriptions

HT4914 When will iTunes Match become available in South Korea? Is there another Cloud that is equally as user friendly for someone with Mac devices available in South Korea?

When is iTunes Match available in South Korea?

Others have asked this question as well. If there is a plan to change this it hasn't been announced. The best way to influence the decision is to provide your feedback to Apple here: https://www.apple.com/support/feedback/. If enough people do, it's more likely to change.

When can I use an iphone 5s in South Korea??

Hi there,
I have used many kinds of Apple products for last 5 years such as iphone 3g, 4, 4s, macbook pro, etc in Australia.
however, after I graduated for a uni in AU, I have come back to my country, South Korea. so, I tried to get an iPhone 5s but, it is impossible now in my country.
I would like to know when I can get an iphone 5s in Korea. I checked the price unlocked version of iphone 5s in many other countries such as Hongkong, AU, US, but too expensive to get one via the websites.
SO, anyone can let me know when I can have one?
Thanks,
Jin

No users here will know when Apple will release the iPhone 5s to other countries.
The recent Apple keynote mentioned in Dec that some other countries will follow, but no country specific.
Watch the keynote video for yourself:

Can I change my SIM card to use it in South Korea?

Hi,
I'm planning to stay in South Korea for 3 months this summer and I was wondering if I could buy a new SIM card in Korea and put it into my current Verizon phone that I'm using in the States(It is Galaxy S4). Global plan seems to be expensive so I'm planning to have Korean phone carrier while I'm in Korea but using my American phone so I don't have to buy another device to use in Korea.
Thank you!

That sounds like an exciting trip, berryholic. Good news! The Galaxy S4 is already unlocked for use with local SIM cards while you're overseas, so there's nothing extra you'll need from us to be able to use a SIM from another carrier during your trip. If you change your mind about leaving your Verizon Wireless SIM in for the trip, be sure to visit www.vzw.com/tripplanner for all the rate details and what changes through My Verizon http://bit.ly/xB4iTc would be needed to give you the best service and rates.

How can I get English language support in South Korea?

I'm British living in South Korea. A few times now I have needed to get in touch with support but the Korean site only has Korean language. My Korean is not good enough to have a conversation in Korean. Anyone know how I can get Englsih language support in South Korea?

Is there an official site where I can install a
language pack for Armenian?
Armenian reading and writing support is already included in OS X. The font is called Mshtakan. To input you need to activate one of the Armenian keyboard layouts by going to system preferences/international/input menu and checking their boxes, plus the box for "show input menu in Finder," then selecting Armenian in the "flag" menu at the top right of the finder.
Armenian requires a modern Unicode app and will not work with Appleworks or Word X.
OS X does not yet have an Armenian system localization (menu and dialogues).
If you don't have the things described above on your system, let us know.

Educator's discount - Can I receive even though I'm in South Korea?

Hello! I'm a university professor in Seoul, South Korea and would like to get the English version of Captivate using the educator's discount. This educator's version is offered on the U.S. site. I don't know if they offer a similar discount for Korean educators since the Korean website is (obviously) in Korean, and I don't read Korean. Is it possible to get the educator discount using the U.S. site? I cannot use the Korean version of Captivate since I cannot read Korean.
Thanks!

Hi DCK12345,
Don't know if you are able to do this, but I would not purchase the software, considering the subscription plan they have available. You can subscribe and always have the latest updates for around 29.99 a month. I do this from Japan, and it works much better than laying out however many hundreds of dollars and having to constantly pay for the upgrades. I think they even have a yearly plan for 20 something dollars a month...even for the educators discount, the subscription likely works out cheaper.
