moving to Australia. Will my iphone be able to work there for an Australian provider?

Your iPhone will work there even if you keep your current US carrier.  However, you'll get hit with the high international charges.
If you want a local carrier you have to have an unlocked iPhone.  If you do not have one they are easy to busy as the Aussie's require an unlocked option on mobiles unlike the US.
One word of advice.  If you plan on getting a land line in your home or cable TV.  Look to the same carrier for both your iPhone and land line.  Aussie mobile charges are different than what you are use to in the states.  You will have to a lot of reading between Aussie carriers to see which plan you want.  Getting the wrong plan can be costly.
All Aussie carriers that offer land lines do not charge if you are calling someone with the same carrier.  If you have OPTUS then anyone with OPTUS means no charge, it's free except if you have the wrong text message plan.  Call from OPTUS to Virgin and you'll get hit with charges.
Confusing I know.

    No, there are plenty of places to get it HACKED. 
    THE ONLY OFFICIAL AND PERMANENT WAY TO UNLOCK A CARRIER LOCKED IPHONE IS TO REQUEST THE UNLOCK THROUGH THE CARRIER IT IS LOCKED TO.
    That's it, the only way.  Any other way involves means not officially sanctioned by Apple (nor the carriers officially selling iPhones), will void your warranty, risks permanently damaging your iPhone, and it will revert back to locked whenever you try to upgrade the firmware later on.

    Yes.
    Restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup along with all other important data that should be included with your computer's backup such as your documents, photos, etc.
    Important to maitain a backup with any computer platfirm but event more so with Windows due to being very insecure and unreliable,

    The iPad update will in no way affect your 3G, no matter what iOS version you have on the 3G.

    If you purchase the T-Mobile version direct from Apple, it is reported to be unlocked and should work. However, it may not support all of the LTE bands there.

    I bought a 3G and a 4G in Australia while working there for 3.5 years. I have since returned permanently to the USA and would like to use one of these, understanding the GSM requires using AT&T? When in Australia, I took these iphones to the Apple Store and they unlocked the 3G for me, knowing that I would be using it in the USA - but when I took it into the AT&T store in California, the iphone would not work with AT&T's SIM card.    May I unlock the 3G and/or 4G somewhere in the USA with Apple's blessing?

    If your phones were unlocked by your carrier, they should work with AT&T SIM cards.  You'll have to sign up for an iPhone phone and data plan with AT&T, but the SIM should definitely work.  Go to an AT&T store and have them set up your account and activate your SIM there.
    AT&T will NOT be able to unlock your Australia-purchased phones.

    I downloaded the latest operating system for my iPhone 5.  It worked fine for about two minutes then the phone requested a password number to continue. Each time I inserted numbers, which were incorrect, the phone would lock up for a certain period of time.  Now, it says “iPhone is Disabled”.  It said to “Connect to iTunes” which I did, but iTunes does not recognize my phone.  If I scroll the face to the right, it goes to the phone number face and says, "No Service". Can I do something to make the phone work?

  • Moving to Australia with UK iPhone 4 on Vodafone

    Hi All,
    I'm moving to Australia and have a UK iPhone 4 which is locked to the Vodafone network. I've had it for around a year and I really want to keep it, but not sure how easy iPhones are to unlock?
    I think I might stick with Vodafone when in Australia, so I am unsure if it needs unlocking at all? I presume so but I'm not sure.
    Thanks,
    DK

    So once Vodafone unlock it, I can put any SIM card in, i.e. a foreign/international one, and it'll work fine?
    The main problem is I cannot test this until after I have moved, as I won't get my Australia SIM until I'm over there!
    Thanks for your help,
    DK

  • Will an iphone bought in Korea work in America?

    I bought my iphone in South Korea and used it with Korea's Show cell phone company. Since I no longer live their I have brought my iphone back with me to America. Will the iphone work with At&t?

    No the iphone bought in South Korea is locked to KTF "Show" and can not be unlocked.
    Vice Versa
    iphone bought in U.S.A can't be unlocked to be used with KTF in Korea. However, I have talked to my uncle, and he told me that there is a way that you can, but they will have to check the frequency and that they can do it and have it work both ways. However, they will have to charge you for them to do it.

  • Will we still be able to write plugins for Creative Cloud for InDesign and Dreamweaver?

    Our company writes custom plugins for InDesign and Dreamweaver. Will that still be possible with these Creative Cloud apps? Will updates from CC require a reinstallation of the plugin or will it continue to work?

    Those are good questions.
    Sadly I know some third party developers already abandoned development when CS6 launched and the new plugin architecture came into play. Given the now standard versioning releases and updates pushed to consumers decided upon by Adobe for the Creative Cloud subscriptions how will third party development and testing of application add-ons work going forward and what does Adobe have in place for this to assist and ensure developers moving forward with new releases. Similar to their own recent Creative Cloud Connection debacle, can developers be assured Adobe wont also break third party plugin compatibilities? Is there a testing and versioning framework system in place for developers for use with each new release of the Creative Cloud? Is a workflow for developers in place?

  • Will an iPhone bought in Jordan work in Italy?

    Hi, I'd like to buy an iphone here in jordan as I'm here for holiday, but I live in Italy..can I use it there?Will it work in Italy?

    As a rule of thumb guide you should buy Apple equipment in the country you generally reside in.   It will work in other countries but the phone companies do not all have agreements and equipment may be tied to, say AT&T, for example.
    And of course iTunes and the App store requires you to be resident in the country you are paying the bills from.

  • HT3939 Will the iPhone 5s t-mobile work in Brasil with a brazilian nano-card?

    I live in Brazil and I have a relative in the U.S.. the forecast for the iPhone 5s get here is in December. I have my own nano-card and would like to know if the iPhone 5s unlocked T-Mobile will work here in Brazil with my nano-sim. Thanks.

    Olá,
    I just brought an unlocked T-Mobile iPhone 5S down to Rio de Janeiro and tried to use it with TIM, but it doesn't work.  The U.S. iPhone Model A1533 doesn't run on Band 7 (2600MHz) required in Brasil.  I can verify that the iPhone 5S from the United Stated does not work in Brasil.  One of the United Kindom versions of the iPhone 5S (Model A1530) is listed as supporting Band 7.  Perhaps that model will work in Brasil.
    Boa sorte!

  • Will my iphone 4 on o2 work in america

    Dear all i am travelling to usa this week and i need my phone to work just as it does in UK.  will it work? will my o2 uk sim work? will i be able to use wifi?

    Wi-Fi is wi-fi. There are many free wi-fi networks available in the U.S. at some restaurants, shopping centers, hotels, etc.
    You need to check with O2 regarding an international roaming plan for your account while traveling in the U.S. Calls, texting, and data access when roaming internationally is not cheap.

  • Will Lightroom 5.0 or 5.3 open raw files from my Canon 70d and will I subsequently be able to work on them in Photoshop CS 5?

    I don't want to convert to DNG files. I have have Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS 5, neither of which will open my raw files from my new Canon 70d. Trying to decide between buying the education version of Lightroom 5 with update to 5.3 if that will do the trick or joining the creative cloud for $9.99/month. Would appreciate accurate advice. Thanks.

    You need Lightroom 5.2 or later. The educational version should work fine.
