Moving over seas and taking my iPhone with me?

My wife and I are considering a move to Europe and I am curious if anyone has taken their iPhone (3G, v3.0) to Europe and had a new number installed on it. We're not interested in AT&T's "international roaming option" with a US number, we're talking a whole new number with the same service perks as here. Anyone done this? Had any problems doing so? Good countries vs. difficult ones?
Thanks.

The phone is carrier locked to ATT, so you cannot use it with another wireless provider. You'll have to buy a new phone in the country you're moving to.

    hi need to turn off find my phone on my iphone 4s i got off friend who has moved over seas because of army help please

    I'm afraid no one can help you but the previous owner, who must erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.  All you can do is keep trying to contact the friend you gave it to you.

    I am changing to iCloud on my iMac, MacBook Air and my iPhone. My iMac and MacBook both moved over to iCloud but my iPhone when I go to Settings and click on iCloud it shows my Mail setting turned Off. When I turn it on it wants me to create a new email address to turn on iCloud Mail. I already have to "me" accounts plus another email address and don't want to create another one. I don't understand why it's asking me to do this on my iPhone but didn't ask on my iMac or MacBook and is there a way around creating another @me.com email address?

  • I have a white haze over photos when taking a picture with my flash

    I have a white haze over photos when taking a picture with my flash.  What can I do to fix it?

    After the ios7 update, my wife's phone began having these same issues and we assumed it was a flaw with the update.
    But  after some trial and error, we concluded it was the illumination of the  white plastic backing of the iPhone 4.  We tried a different protective  case, we blackened the apeture of the black case with a black sharpie,  none of those things worked.
    It  was noted that the white and blurry photos only occurred with a case  installed.  Without a case, the photos were perfect.  It is a *** issue.
    Since  we were using a case and appearance was not that big of an issue, I  decided to apply a strip of black electrical tape with holes punched out  for the camera and flash mechanisms and reapplied the protective case.   This tacky fix solved 95% of the white blurry look to the flash photos.
    So  a work-around is to apply a non-transparent piece of tape, or sticker  with appropiate sized holes for the camera lens and flash LED on the  back of the white plastic phone case.  It's tacky, it's a poor design  from apple, but it works.

    My iphone5 itunes playlist seems to have a mind of it's own, after selecting a song to play it will randomly flash through songs on my playlist without stopping. I've rebooting, and restored my iphone with no results. does anyone know how to stop this from happening? also I am having trouble syncing songs from my library on my computer to my iphone. the songs so up on my playlist on the computer, but will not synch over to my iphone5. Thank you.

    Hi TakesTwo2Tango,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you should definitely be seeing a plus sign after tapping Edit, so I would try a couple relatively easy things (closing the Music app, resetting the iPhone):

    i didnt get a chance to back my phone up before the comp crashed

    When you open iTunes and plug in iPhone (iPod) to computer, it appear in the left bar. Then just simply right click on you iPhone (iPod) and choose Transfer Purchases, this should copy your purchased items to your computer.
    Hope this help

    You can't merge two iTunes accounts.

  • We are going to Italy this september and will be taking the iPhone with us (AT

    We will be going to Italy this September and be taking our Iphone (AT&T service)  with us. New to this technology and would like to know best way to use it in Italy and to call home to USA.

    Definitely contact AT&T about an International roaming plan. It's still very expensive to call when overseas, but it's cheaper than what you'll pay without the plan. Disable cellular data. Though leaving data roaming off should, in theory, prevent you from racking up charges for data roaming, there are enough anecdotal reports of people coming home to multi-thousand-dollar data roaming bills that I'd just shut it off entirely.
    Actually, I'd put the phone in airplane mode and just buy a disposable cell phone in Italy. It's going to be far more cost effective, or at least much easier to manage the cost, than using your AT&T plan.
    If you elect to use the iPhone, tell your friends and family NOT to call you unless it's an emergency. Also advise them not to text you unless it's an emergency until you return.

  • My ipod sounds as if it has interference when on docking station.....3 other apple devices work with no such problem...i.e nano ,classic and 2x separate iphones, with no problems .I have been given a 2nd ipod touch replacement, it plays with interference

    ipod problems
    My ipod sounds as if it has interference when on docking station....3 other apple devices work with no such problems, i.e a nano. a classic and 2 separate iphones    so the problem doesn't seem to be the docking station...I have been given 2 reolacement ipods and the sound persists....it is obviously the connection.....as before downloading any data on the new ipod I docked it and the noise was present ....mairiskye....

    - Is it a 4G iPod? That model sometimes mates poorly with dock because the configuration of the iPod by the dock connector is different that other devices. Thus, make sure it is fulld/seated in the dock.
    - Have you brought the iPod and dock to the Genius at the an Apple store.

  • Over State and actions not working with buttons in Flash cs4

    Hi - I am working on a Flash file and some of the buttons in the document are not working.When I test the movie the hand cursor appears when I hover over the buttons they don't change colour (as specified in the over state) and the actions don't work. Not sure what is going on here as I created other buttons in the same document the same way and they work fine. Thanks in advance.

    If you remove the code from the buttons do they react properly to a mouse over interaction?
    What is the code that is in place?

  • How do I transfer my entire music collection to a new computer and sync my iphone with new mac without deleting existing music in iphone?

    Hi All,
    I will describe my current setup and the required setup below. Please help me with the steps to do this
    Current setup:
    OS: Windows 7
    Total Music collection: 80GB of mp3 , which is NOT added to itunes library (I use foobar)
    iTunes Music collection: around 500 songs, synced to my iphone (unchecked "manually manage" that meeans all these songs are in itunes library)
    Now the required setup: (Since I am planning to get a macbook pro)
    OS: Mac OS  (This means the music file path will be different)
    Total Music collection: 80GB which is to be added to itunes library
    iPhone Music: The same 500 songs as before.
    Is this possible? In Mac OS I want my entire 80GB to be added to itunes library, also keeping my existing iphone songs intact.
    Any ideas?

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
    Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
    2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/  - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not  really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library").  Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

    Transferring the library as above will connect your i-device to the same library on the new computer even though it is stored on different hardware. You should not see the "erase & sync" prompt, and syncing will preserve game scores and other data on the device.
    As for the 80GB of music in foobar, add that to the iTunes library at some stage by dragging those files to the Automatically Add To  iTunes folder.
