Traveling to Israel next week, do I need a transformer to charge iPhone 5s or will it automatically convert to 220 current?
traveling to Israel next week, do I need a transformer to charge iPhone 5s or will it automatically convert to 220 current?
The hotels I stayed in during my visit to the Holy Land had a plug for electric razors which has the same plug used in the US. With that I didn't even need the adapter.

Hi. I am a uk iPhone 5 user and will be travelling to Spain next week. Last time I went to Spain in September I could not receive calls on my phone despite having Vodafone euro traveller. I am asking what I can do to rectify this before I travel as it was really difficult to sort out once I was abroad. Please help as I'm not the best with technology. Thanks
Hi,
Is your phone locked to a carrier? If so, you will need to contact the carrier to find out what international SIM cards (if any) you can use when travelling.
Cheers,

I am travelling to Italy next week. If I facetime to my wife's iPhone from my iPad via WiFi at the hotel,are there any phone charges?
Facetime only works over WiFi. So, your wife's phone must be using WiFi to receive your call in the first place. Second, since she would be using Wifi during the facetime call, by definition you are not using cellular data and therefore not incurring any charges.

So, I am travelling to Italy next week. I am from the US. VW's "Trip Planner" suggests my iPhone 5s will not work there. Then, they suggest (via options below) that I can send Txt for $0.050/txt and Receive for $0.05/txt. How can I confirm which is true?
We are here to help! Where are you traveling to? How long will you be there for? What kind of services are you looking to use?

I am traveling to Europe next week - what are dialing instructions for calling US vs calling around Europe?
+1 for the USA
+XX for the whole of Europe (Replace XX with the country code you're visiting)
What countries are you going to?
With Dial assist, it should understand if you dial a local number in whichever countries you're visiting.
For example of what local ones will look like:
05573/23441
03 02 33 55 22
If you want to dial with the country code, you can drop the 0 that leads off pretty much all european numbers. (the 0 in parentheses)
For example, you see a number like this: +44 (0)7725 100 100
You can either dial +44 7725 100 100 or 07725 100 100 if you have a UK SIM card.
But it all depends on the home country your SIM card is from which will determine how well local dialing works without using the country code.
If you're travelling to multiple countries, you will recieve an SMS from the network telling you the roaming rates.
Also, I can recommend you to get the Magicjack app, it's free to download and will let you call any phone in the USA and Canda across any data connection (3G/Wifi) Free and unlimited too! -
If my iphone 4s was unlocked by AT&T, but I need to use my warranty for a new iphone. Do I need to reunlock the new iphone? or will apple give me an unlocked iphone?
If your phone is officially unlocked, you will get an officially unlocked iPhone if yours is replaced under warranty. Apple maintains a data base of officially unlocked iPhones & can verify whether your phone is officially unlocked or not. To be safe, point this out to the genius bar, if you go to an Apple store or whoever you talk to, if dealing with AppleCare.

I am taking my iPhone overseas. Will any electric converter work, or is there a specific type I need to protect my phone when charging?
The Apple charger is universal, 100-240 volts at 50-60 Hz, the only thing you need is a plug adapter, very inexpensive from stores like Radio Shack in the US, available at many international airports in Europe.
-
reply as soon as possible as i am really worried it is still under warranty only 3 weeks to go..
iPhone warranty is country specific, except for the EU, where warranty is EU wide. You may or may not get service in Australia, so don't be surprised if you don't.

HT1476 do I need a step-down transformer to charge iPhone in Suriname?
I'm travelling to Suriname, I have adaptor for round 2 prong Euro-like plugs. Electricity is 220-240 v. Do I need transformer step-down when charging my iPhone 4s (OS 5.0)
thanksAt home I just have a plug that the usb port goes into so I can plug into the wall.
here at work, I do see some folks have a little adaptor with plug to use when charging the phones.
I will get one of those. -
I had to get a new iPhone 4S because my earbud jack never worked. The Apple store told me to backup my phone using iTunes. Today I got the new phone and they told me to bring it home and restore the backup, which I did. However, none of my photos or contacts are there.
Photos taken by the iPhone should be imported onto your computer like you would with any digital camera.
Contacts are meant to be synched with the contact manager application on your computer or with a cloud service.
Have you not been using your phone as strongly recommended? -
i pluged my iphone in to my laptap then it said to come on1,2,13 so i cam now its telline me to come next week when i need to get an update for my iphone now because it will not let me donload any apps
Go to the menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X
Revert to Snow Leopard
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience. -
I am traveling to the Philippines next week and am confused on whether I need to buy a converter to be able to charge my Iphone (and Ipad). I was told I did not as the chargers were universal and automatically converted anywhere from 100 to 240v depending on what you plug into.
I would just like some more confirmations if any one has traveled internationally.
Thank you.No, but most international airports I have been to have convenience stores that sell the plug adapters. And there are always other shops with the adapters so it is easy to get exactly what you need after you get there.

Travel to UK with iPhone next week. A few questions if you please!
My daughter is going to visit the UK next week. She will be bringing her iPhone. I have bought her a plug adapter that does not convert voltage because it is my understanding that the Apple adaptor will take 220 fine. Also, the data roaming has been turned off. She has been told not to try to use the internet unless she has WIFI access. I will call ATT on Monday to buy international calling, which brings the roaming charges down a little, but not much.
Now the questions: Will the phone work in the UK reliably? How the heck do you dial an american phone number from the UK Let's say you want to dial 714-555-1212 from the UK, what prefixes are needed when you dial. I don't want her to place her calls with operator assistance! Any other comments would be greatly appreciated, TIA.
PaulWhen you put numbers in a mobile phone, it's always best to enter internationally formatted numbers.
For the US, that's +1 714 555 1212 for the number you mentioned, or for a UK number such as 01312 345678, it'd be +44 1312 345 678 (leave out the first '0'). Obviously, +1 is the US country code, +44 is the UK. Check out this wikipedia link for other countries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listof_international_callprefixes
The iPhone - even the US iPhone, works fine in the UK, as it's a GSM phone (the technology used for pretty much every country's predominant cell networks except the US). Mine's been without issue.
One thing that nobody thinks of, but everyone could possibly need - emergency services. It's a common misconception in the UK that 911 works, but it will not. Remember to use 999, or the European-wide (and world wide for GSM phones) 112
Oh yeah, and last but not least, visit Scotland, especially the highlands. -

ICan't ReInstall my computer please help. need to use Mac for school next week
I use my Mac for School and stuff happened.
Long story short.
1) I tried to reset my Mac Book Pro computer and I did.( by pressing option key and go to disk utility and erase tab and erase)
2) then I know I was supposed to go to Reinstall OS X Lion and I did but I quit. (took 10 hrs and plus my internet is bad and couldn't DL the other stuff)
3) I remembered that I had a recovery disk. so I inserted it and I went to the disk utility, dragged the Macintosh HD to the restore tab, destination, and it copied my recovery disk data? to my Machintosh HD and the name of it changed to Mac OS X Base System ( the name of my recovery disk)
4) and I tried to restart, shut down my computer, it sends me to the same Mac OS Utilities. Again.
5) so I went to Reinstall Mac OS Lion, agreed, and the download destination usually should be the Macintosh HD ( for me its Mac OS X Base System right now) but it said it is locked (because I'm dumb) and i can't install it now.
6) i don't know what to do now because this is not my computer that I'm sending this support from. and I can't use my original Mac Book. what should I do?
AND I NEED TO USE THE MAC NEXT WEEK FOR SCHOOL.
more info: MacBook Pro 13 inch Late 2011 ( got it for christmas)
OS 10.7.5 ( recovery disk is 10.7.2)
had no problems for 2 years.
Why is Internet bad? Japan. thats why.
For those who wonder why I wanted to reset/restore my MacBook Pro or, want to hear the long story:
I play League of Legends, Steam, Osu! on my Mac and it took alot of capacity (or space).
And League of Legends has thisthing called "Item sets" that when you save it, it doesnt save it in the client (or app), it saves the "item sets" data in your computer (took alot of capacity/space)
Not just that, and I had iPhoto but when i downloaded iLife to my mac, and after that, it said my iPhoto is damaged and it can't open.
And summer ended, my parents said If I fail my 11th grade, they are going to kick me out so I told them I'm going to reset my Mac to factory settings and get a fresh start, well this happened.hi there! I got it back to work by buying the USB version of Mac OS X Lion 10.7
and since my internet connections are kinda bad, I'm not able to download and update it to 10.7.5.
but anyways I got it back to work.
All I can say is I suggest you to buy the USB version of Mac OS X Lion 10.7 from amazon or apple store.
