Trying to buy an iphone in hongkong
im getting really frusterated. I am from canada living in china and want to buy an iphone from hong kong. I spent alot of time trying to reserve one only to find out that If I am not a scalper it is impossible. Scalpers use a program here to find out when the iphones will go on sale at the online store and then automaticly reserves as many as they want with in seconds. Whats more sad is that there are people who are able to purchase many times with the same apple id. I feel by the time I am able to reserve one that it will be close to the time the new iphone is released. What is the point!!!! If I want to buy one from canada I need to pay Canadian tax, shipping, insurance, and chinese tax for recieving a luxury item. It is impossible to get an iphone in china with out paying the grey market price which is double of the regular price in alot of cases. I give up!!!!! I will just buy a different phone from another company, unless someone knows a way to make a reservation. everytime I go online to check to see if there is one available it says the system is down do to high triffic. why would there be high traffic 24 hours a day, because scalpers have there programs checking the sight 24 hours a day.
You can buy an iPhone without an AT&T subsidy or contract, but the prices are $499 (8GB), $599 (16GB), $699 (32GB). The iPhone (sold in the US) is configured to work only with wireless service provided by AT&T. It won't work in the RP. Also, nothing in the iPhone will work until activated with AT&T.

Why does what tell you that what account is locked?
The Apple Store says your itunes account is locked?
Your carrier says your wireless account is locked?

Tried to buy an iphone online. Lack of credit history. Got some questions.
Hey, just tried to buy an iphone online, but cause of lack of credit history I had to pay a $100 deposit and pick it up at my local store. Does any of you know if I need to go and pick it up in person or if I could send my brother to pick it up and pay the $100 deposit, as long as I order it online in advance. Kind of on a busy schedule for the moment .
Call the local store and ask. Most likely, you'll need to pick it up yourself, as there will probably be a signature required for the contract.

Buying an Iphone 4 without being American.
Hi! i'm from Argentina and I'm trying to buy an iphone 4 without contract. Is it possible to do that withou having a social security number and no ATT account? I have no problems to pay the full price. Thanks in advance for the info.
Yes. I have ordered pay as you go cards online, they are sent to me, and never had to give them a social security number. The reason why they want social security number is thatif you do a 2 year contract with them, they can verify that you are credit worthy for that contract. You pay full price for the phone, they dont care as they risk nothing.

I got a new iPhone and i am trying to buy songs but when I go to buy a song on iTunes it says I have to answer my security questions and I don't remember the answers. I pressed where it says for them to email you your answers but I haven't gotten an email. Is there another way to change or get the answers for the security questions?
If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

App Store says update available for iPhone app. Try to install and get the message "the item you are trying to buy is no longer available" for three apps in a row. Even when I go to the specific app and press Update, the update begins to install then aborts with this error message.iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1.1. Also very long delay typing each keystroke in this message.
That error message is usually indicative of a problem with the App Store. If you look through the forums, you'll see that a number of people are experiencing the problem. Try again tomorrow.

I am trying to buy a used SPRINT IPHONE 4S. Once I buy I plan to UNLOCK it ( Get it unlocked )
Then can I use it with ATT ?
Can someone please tell me whether an unlocked IPHONE can work with any cell company please ?
That will be a quick answer to my question.1. No. iPhones unlocked by Sprint can't be used with a different USA carrier.
2. Not in this case. Sprint only unlocks iPhones for international use.

I created my account im my iphone, and now I´m trying to buy with my ipad and the site make questions....so I want to know where do I can find this questions in the site...
I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...

I am about to buy and iphone 4, its second hand and is in amazing condition. The only problem is that the 'wi-fi' button doesn't not work. I tried to click on it but nothing responds. Can this be fixed? Should i still purchase it?
while you are with the person selling it to you, ask if you can do a complete restore of the software settings->general->reset->reset all
reboot the phone to factory settings and see if that fixes the problem. if not, i wouldn't buy it unless they are selling it to you for less than $50. wifi is crucial for keeping data low and using features like facetime -

Trying to buy a protective case for MacBook Pro MD314B/A 13.3"
Hi
It's my first message on here so hope someone can help me. I've been an Apple user for three years now and absolutely love all of their products and currently have a MacBook Air, iPad 2 and iPhone 5.
I am trying to buy a protective cover/case for a friends son who is getting a MacBook Pro MD314B/A for his birthday but I'm having a lot of trouble trying to find one for that particular model, in all my searches (pretty exhaustive so far) all I seem to find are ones for the model A1278 none seem to be coming up for the MD314B/A model that I am wanting.
I only have that to go by as that is all I have been given by his mum who's pretty computer and Apple savvy so I presume it's the correct information, I just can't understand why I can't find one as I it was a doddle when I found a cover for my MacBook Air.
I know it is the 2011 model of MacBook Pro and really don't want to guess and order a wrong cover and disappoint someone on their birthday.
I hope someone can throw some light on how to make sure I find the right one, obviously I can't check on the MacBook itself as it is all boxed up ready for the big day.
Many thanks to you allThen you want to post in the respective forums, this one is devoted to Mac Pro (tower) not notebooks.

I looked at my iphone 4 and I had two apps that needed to be updated. I pressed "Update All", but only one of them updated. The other, which is the HauteLook app, didn't, and has the little red 1 on my app store application. When I open the app store, it says it needs to be updated. When I press update or update all, the little bar shows up, then a message comes up saying "The item you tried to buy is no longer avaliable". I pressed ok, and it still says it has to be updated. I have opened the app and used it, so it's not broken. I have turned off my phone and turned it back on, and the notification that I need to update it is still there. I have tried restarting my phone, and it's still there. I have also tried plugging my phone into my computer to see if the update shows up iTunes, but it doesn't. I have had my phone for almost 2 years and this has never happened to me before. I did just recently get the IOS 6 update, but since having it, I have had to update apps and never got this message until now. If anyone has any idea how to fix this I would really appericate the help!
I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two. Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.
