Moving to the Middle East from the USA

I am moving to the United Arab Emirates in a few months. I am a music teacher and I use my iTunes account a great deal in my work. Will I have any trouble accessing iTunes, the iTunes Store, etc. while I am living in Abu Dhabi? Do I need to make changes to my account?
Thank you.

  • I have a iPad and I am moving to the USA!

    I have a iPad and I am moving to the USA! How can I get my iPad to get to the usa version so it's dollars and the American apps! Or do I need to buy one there? Because I went there on holiday and had my iPod but it was still in the English version and had pounds and not dollars, and also I wanted the app pandora but I could not find it while I was there. please help really don't want to restart my iPad! Thanks

    When you are in the US update your billing address on your account to be your US address (or create a new account with your US billing address) and the store's should then show the US and prices will be in dollars. Changing country on an account : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account - Apple Support
    Before you move there make sure that you have everything downloaded from the UK store (I'm assuming that you are here in the UK as you say pounds), and/or have copies of them in your computer's iTunes library or backup of your downloads/library, as whilst you are in the US you can only use the US store (you have to be in a country to use its store, including redownloading).

  • Moving to the USA from the UK with an unlocked iPhone - what options?

    I currently have a UK iPhone 3GS on O2. The phone has been unlocked legitimately by O2 (i.e. Not jail broken). I am now relocating to the USA with my employer and want to obviously take and use my iPhone.
    Since my phone is unlocked to any network I'm hoping I will be able to buy a 3G sim card from any provider (preferably T-Mobile) when I get to the USA and this should work when I put it in the iPhone and change the relevant settings - like apn.
    If anyone has any experience of doing this or a link to some advice it'd be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks for helping!

    Ok, one of my problems is that when I arrive it will take me a few weeks to get a social security number and only t-mobile will give me a sim without a ssn - but edge for a few weeks will be better than no iPhone.
    Unless someone out there can suggest an alternative?

  • I am moving to the USA I have a 3 pin plug on my 85 w charger

    Hi,
    I'm moving to the US from Pakistan (our power is 220 volts like Europe). My charger has a 3 pin plug . Will the 3 pin work in America or do I need to get a converter plug? I also have a small two-pin plug lying around but I can't remember if this came with my new macbook pro or my previous macbook. It's just a plug- doesn't have a wire or anything - it does fit directly onto the magsafe power adapter but I don't want to use it if there might be a voltage issue when I get to the US. Is there any way I can try it out there safely?
    my MagSafe specs:  frequency 50-60 Hz, single phase
    line voltage 100-240
    output voltage
    16.5 V DC, 3.65 A

    The power adapter places one-half of the line voltage on the computer chassis/case.  In Pakistan, and much of the world, the AC input line voltage is over 200VAC, and the voltage sensation can be annoying.  In the US, the AC input line voltage is 120VAC, and only 60VAC is placed on the case.  Very few people can sense that voltage level and, even without a grounded 3-prong AC plug, you probably won't feel anything.

  • I have an iphone and just moved to the USA from England. Now, when I get a text from an English friend that's programmed into my phone already, it will notify me with a text from "04499929292" (not the contact) w/ a blank message.

    So when I get a message from a friend, just the number will pop up, not the name of the contact. And when I click on said notification, it takes me to an empty message. I can go back, open my messages again, and see the real message, but this is sort of a pain. And I've tried the basic things I can think of - I've tried adding +44 to the contact name and the exact same thing happens... I've tried adding just 0 before the number (like I did when I was in England), and nothing happens. I've also tried turning my phone off and on, and I have the same issue. Can anybody help with this? It's just a minor annoyance but I'd like to have my contact names in my text messages, not just numbers - then it takes me a while to figure out who they are!
    Thanks

    That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation.  A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number.  I suggest you turn iMessage off.  In settings/phone turn on dial assist.  Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage.  Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

  • Moving to the USA - With a UK iMac

    Hey everyone
    I have searched for the answer to this with no such luck in finding an answer.
    Im moving to Orlando, Florida in August and am taking my iMac with me (Obviously). I am going to need some sort of converter for the power and although apple do the travel kit and you can buy all manor of plug converters in hardware stores - i want to know im buying a high quality, reliable converter that will handle power surge's and things along those lines.
    So, any ideas? Has anyone bought a iMac in the US for use in the UK and found a good product for the conversion?
    Many Thanks

  • European serial number not valid in the USA

    Hello everybody!
    I had a licence for LR5 in Europe since february 2014, used it on my PC and now moved to the USA, buying a new PC.
    When a want to install LR5 on it, I have an error telling that the serial number is not valid.
    I contacted the direct service (by night here :p) and they gave me a procedure that could resolve my problem... BUT one link is always not found.
    Here is the procedure :
    Sebastien: 1) Go to this adress but dont download anything :
    Sebastien: http://adobe.ly/SayOKG
    Sebastien: 2) Kepp this window open a open a new one.
    Sebastien: 3) In this new one, go to :
    Sebastien: http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/LTRM/5/win32/Lightroom_5_LS11..7z
    Sebastien: 4) A download start automatically, save it.
    .... (then many other steps)....
    The link   "http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/LTRM/5/win32/Lightroom_5_LS11..7z" shows me always "file not found" it?
    Any idea to solve it?y many thanks in advance! I fear i should by a new serial number whose could not work too .....B
    B.brichart

    I am going to guess that the link should end in .exe (one-dot-exe) rather than ..7z (two-dots-seven-z)—the two-dots are wrong for sure and there is an EXE not a 7z at that URL:
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/LTRM/5/win32/Lightroom_5_LS11.exe
    Once downloaded you can use the 7-ZIP application to extract the files from the EXE.
    It is possible that the tech meant the following .7z URL which is for LR 5.5 and the Creative Cloud version not the serial-number-licensed version, but since you’re dealing with a serial-number-licensed version, hopefully not, it is the one URL that has a .7z on it:
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/LTRM/5_5/win32/Lightroom_5_CCM_LS11.7z

  • Ordering Iphone from Australia, However I'm from Middle east. Is it easier?

    I would like to Order Iphone from Australia, However I'm from Middle east.
    Can Someone guide me how can i place my order being here in Middle East from Australia?
    I got my friend living in Australia and they would be coming back by the end of this month. So before i go and Checkout Online payment for iphones i like to inquire about few things.
    1.) Is it possible that i can pay online and tell my friend to collect it from the APPLE STORE personally after the payment is made thru my Credit card online? If "YES" what document would they need to take with them to prove APPLE STORE that the payment is made & it should be handed over with no hassle.
    2.) If "NOT" then, Can i pay using my credit card here and the person can recieve it locally over there? Again "What documents are required"?
    This is pretty much all i want to know.
    Thanks.

    Online orders are shipped to your home, not to Apple stores.
    I don't know about Australia, but here in the US, you need a US credit card and a US shipping address, so I'm assuming the same about Australia.
    Call the Apple Online store and ask

  • Using uk iPhone 4 in the USA

    I have just moved to the usa from the uk.
    I want to use my uk purchased iPhone 4 on the AT&T network. Unlocked phone from apple store.
    The AT&T sim did not allow me to have data access.  They said they had setup the plan correctly and the fault was with the phone!
    Do I need to factory reset the phone or is there some other restriction on its usage here ?
    Thanks.

    No, the sales person did not suggest that.
    I could make calls with the new sim but it would not establish a data connection.
    Should I have done that ?
    Would reset the phone, I.e. would I loose all my current data ?
    Thanks.

  • I just moved from Germany back to the USA. How can I use an German iPhone6 from T-Mobile  in the USA

    I just moved from Germany back to the USA. How can I use an German iPhone 6 from T-Mobile  in the USA?

    Was your phone locked to T-Mobile? If so, it needs to be unlocked before you can use it here. I believe you can use it with AT&T or T-Mobile here, but you won't get 4G/LTE speeds.

  • I have a Macbook Pro Early 2011 from the USA.  After installing Mavericks, Adobe CS6 crashes whenever it is plugged into a 27inch cinema display I purchased from the apple store in China (We moved to China). It works when not plugged into 27inch display.

    I have a Macbook Pro Early 2011 from the USA. It is now running Mavericks.  I connect it to a 27" Cinema Display that I bought in China after we moved to China.  Before I installed Mavericks, I could run all of the Adobe CS6 and Adobe CS5.5 applications on my Macbook Pro while connected to the cinema display. Now that I have Mavericks installed, whenever I am connected to my 27" CInema display my Adobe applications crash upon opening.  I know this is a rare scenario, but does anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem? Is there a new driver that needs installed?  I'd appreciate any help.

    I am also having a similar issue. I used Adobe Lightroom and my whole display goes black. Even my laptop screen and the lights on the keyboard go black. I can still hear the fan running, so I assume it is just the display. This is my first Mac and I have had nothing but issues. I think I am going back to Windows after this.

  • I have moved from the UK to the USA and have a new phone, I try to change my country location on the store and get an error message saying I have to cancel my itunes match and have a pass incomplete, any ideas?

It is becoming a problem with getting some USA aps and content

    iTunes match is a subscription that you have in when you were still in the UK. According to the terms & conditions you'll need to wait for the susbcription to end before you can change your country to iTunes Store USA.

  • HT1918 changing countries - I have moved from Australia to the USA and I would like to find out how to change my 'home' country in iTunes

    I have recently moved overseas.  I don't seem to be able to change my account from Australia to the USA in iTunes.  Can anyone help?

    Hi...
    Click Sign In right side of the iTunes Store window just above QUICK LINKS. Enter your Apple ID and password then click View Account.
    Click the Edit button to the right of Payment Type so you can change your account credentials.
    You can also change the Country or Region from that window.
    Then click Done.
    Be aware, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."
