Moving to the UK from Canada.

I am moving to the UK in a couple of weeks, and I was wondering if my iMac will work over there, because of the voltage difference. I know that the wall chargers for Macbooks covert the voltage for you, but I have no idea if the iMac does the same. Help please!

Yip, agree with above, just change the plug and your good to go!

My iPhone isn't directing me properly to messages since I moved to the UK from Canada. When I receive a new iMessage it opens a 'new message' thread to their number in a UK format rather than directing me to the established thread under their name.

I moved to the UK a week ago and popped a new SIM in my unlocked iPhone 4 (all the latest software installed, 6.1.3, though I see in the drop-down below that there's a .4? My phone says it is up to date anyway). Since then, I have done a lot of texting to people back home in Canada. Of course, for economical reasons, I am using iMessage. When I'm talking to them, if I have messages open, and my screen hasn't gone to sleep, then I'm fine. But if the screen goes to sleep or I'm doing something else and I try to reply by way of any sort of notification where the phone redirects me to the message (when I tap a banner or unlock while an alert is showing), instead of sending me to where I can reply, it starts a whole new text message with the person's phone number in a UK format instead of their contact name. Their message is in the iMessage conversation history where it belongs, but I can't read it in full until I cancel the 'New Message' and open their conversation in the Messages list.
So far, I have tried:
-Simple things like restarting my phone, resetting it, etc.
-Changing the format of their number to include country code, to not include country code, to have the plus, to not have it, etc.
-Changing where my messages come from, be it my phone number or my iCloud, etc.
-Updating iCloud to make sure it knows I'm in the UK.
-Resetting everything in the reset menu one at a time (I had hopes for settings and the Location & Privacy ones, but no).
-Erasing all content and settings and restoring my phone from a backup.
I've pretty much messed with every setting, but please let me know any suggestions you have, I may have missed one.
It does seem as if the format of my contacts has something to do with it, because I don't get a notification at all if I change the setting "Show iMessage Alerts From" to contacts only. The iMessage goes through to the iMessage conversation, but the alerts I get seem to think it's a text message as it comes through with a sample of the message in the alert under their phone number. It's only when I try to reply through an alert that it screws up. I know this may seem small but it's driving me nuts, especially because I don't memorize people's phone numbers anymore so I don't know who sent the message until I exit the new message and look it up!
Please help me before I go mad!

All you need is a plug adaptor, if required. Apple sells an adapter kit:

Larry's right, You can still use your credit card, you just need to change the "billing address" to the recievers address. It gets billed to your CC and delivered to the US

I just moved to the US from other country. How do I move my current apple id to US iTunes store?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

*** Can I order the iPhone from Canada and use it right away as just a PDA?

I'd really like to order an iPhone today (I'm in Canada) from the US Apple store. I know there is the whole unlocking problem (ugh) up here, but I'm wondering if I could buy it and use it for wi-fi internet/email/ical, etc and not as a phone without having to have it unlocked.
Is it possible to use it as more of a PDA instead of a full-on phone until I wait for it to become serviceable in Canada?

Without "unlocking" the phone you must activate it to use it for ANYTHING.
If you have no intention of using it as a phone, get a Touch.

How can I delete time machine backup folders moved into the trash from an external drive?

I made the mistake of moving Time Machine backup files into the trash, but I can't seem to delete them. I tried the option key when clicking on "Empty Trash" and "Secure Empty Trash" (before and after rebooting), but that always led to error 8003. The files won't allow me to change their name. Using approchaes to Terminal from three different Mac-related webpages also failed. I also tried Trash It, but it seemed to be making little progress after letting it run 48 hours. Any other suggestions before calling Apple?

Assuming these were not backups made over a network (thus not in a sparse bundle disk image), see #E6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
But any way you empty the trash on that disk/partition is probably going to take a very long time -- there's no doubt several hundred thousand files there, perhaps a million or more.
You may have to just erase the disk (with Disk Utility) and start over.
You really shouldn't have to delete Time Machine backups, as it will do that automatically when the destination gets full. But if you really want to, see #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

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 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.

I moved to the UK from the US and want to use my same email address for my UK iTunes account. Is this possible?

I don't have another email address to use. Please help. Thank you.

You do not want more than one AppleID. All items you buy with an AppleID are permanently associated with that AppleID and cannot be transferred. It then becomes a major nuisance having to manage more than one AppleID on your devices.
You cannot delete an AppleID. Just remove information from it and stop using it.

HT1918 I want to change the store from Canada store to US store, But every time I click change country I receive a response that I still have a balance and I must spend it why? I have a US gift voucher and cant use it? is there a way I can change stores?

Hi
My subject heading is self explanatory, please help
Regards
Andeliz

Hello Andeliz,
You can't change countries unless you use up all your account's store credits. If they can't cover teh price of a song anymore, contact support so they can remove/cash it out for you:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
When your store credits shows $0.00, you can chnage your country.

Change my account from canada to uk

I recently moved to London Uk from Canada, I need to change my account for an uk one, well settings. Does someone know how?

Before you change country make sure you have downloaded and backed up any purchases from your previous country's store. You will not be able to redownload them again once you change countries and it won't be easy to change countries to the previous one once you lose your payment method for the former country (as well as a wait period). As long as you have them on your cmputer you will be okay.
