US versus Europe

In the US, a one-year-plan for Adobe Muse costst $14.99 per month. In Belgium I have to pay €17.21 (= $22.30) for exactly the same one-year-plan. Why do I have to pay $87.82 per year more for the same product? That is so unfair!

Could be something to do with the VAT rates of each county being significantly different, also fluctuations in the exchange rate mean that the price will never be exactly the same, the longer a price has been set the more likely it is to be out of line with other currencies.
I'm not an expert....but that would be my first guess

Tough question: Can I purchase an off-contract iPhone 5 from Verizon and let my brother use it in Europe?

I have an iPhone 4S with Verizon, and I wanted to know if it would be possible for me to buy an iPhone 5 for the off-contract price just as if I was purchasing it for myself, and then ship it to my brother in Austria and let him use it there on the GSM network.
The reason I think this might be possible is because the GSM part of the Verizon iPhone 5 comes unlocked out of the box (or so I've been told)
One obstacle that might stand in the way is if I have to activate the iPhone 5 with Verizon before I send it to him.
Let me know if this would be possible.

If it is truly unlocked (versus the sim slot being unlocked), then yes you would be able to do this. I have no way of actually verifying if my VZW iPhone 5 is truly unlocked (I don't know of a local iPhone 5 AT&T customer to use their sim to see if my phone will work) but maybe someone on here has been able to verify this further than just what some articles state. Otherwise, if it's just the sim slot being unlocked then you would need to keep the phone active on VZW and your brother can use simcards on Europe to roam instead of paying the VZW roaming charges.

Syncing versus streaming

I bought the apple TV with the larger hard drive but now I am questioning why.
I see no difference in streaming versus syncing. Is there a subtle advantage that I am missing. Its not like once synched you can delete the file from your itunes.
Can you?

I don't agree with that... To me being able to use ?TV independently of my computer means a lot more than 100$(or 100€ as it is in Europe).
It means, ?TV can play content without sucking the resources of my PC (iTunes + disk have to run).... also (at least with my setup) sometimes I'm able to see some bumpy movement when watching streaming video content...
I must say, that unfortunately I'm owner of 40gb and if I would be in position to trade the 40 for 160 with no extra cost(except of course +100$/€), I would do this without hesitation.
In other words, size does matter.

Envy 100 eAll-in-One D410a (US) doesn't work with cartridge HP300 (Europe)

Hi all,
I bought a HP Envy 100 eAll-in-One (CN517A) D410A in 2011 when I was living in the US. I always used HP60 cartridges without any problems while in the US.
In 2013 I was relocated to Europe (Luxembourg), and recently my last supply of US-bought HP60 cartridges run out, so I went out to buy new ones. HP60 is not available where I live, so I bought HP300 which explicitly says on the box that it is suited for "HP ENVY ENVY100 D410a". However, when I put them in the printer I get a "The cartridges listed above are not intended for use in this printer as it is currently configured." error on the printer.
I tried the eight solutions as explained here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02436437&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
None worked. I put back in my old HP60 cartridges and did no longer get the error message and I can print (but poorly because these cartridges are almost empty).
Could it be that the HP300, by design, does not work with the US-built printer that I have even though the HP300 packaging box clearly says it should? Is there a way to make it work (firmware update?), or do I need to either buy HP60s from the US or get a new printer here in Europe?
Any clues or pointers to a possible solution would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Paul

Using my US purchased printer in Europe ... ?

Hello all-
I have a HP Color Laserjet CP2025n that I bought a while back, and it works great. So much so that I elected to take it with me when I moved to Spain this past summer. Before moving, I checked on the HP website and noticed that the specs claim this model will work with both 110 and 220v power sources. (See specs here: http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/printer/LaserJet/1/storefronts/CB494A%2523ABA - Select the "Specs" tab and then scroll down the page and select "PDF Version of all Specs".)
However, I am here now trying to hook up the printer and getting nowhere. Won't even power up, and the back of the printer itself only says that it will handle 120-127v of power. Did I just get hoodwinked? Is there some kind of switch I need to flip to make this work?
Welcome any responses...

Bumping this thread up and hoping that one of the HP Experts will take a look.
After a bunch more investigation, I discovered that HP printers like my LJ CP2025n are not 110 - 240v compatible. Instead, there is a US model that runs on the 110 - 120v range, and a seperate Europen model that runs on the 200 -240v. So for someone like myself that has just moved from the States to Europe, it's frustrating that I have to buy either a voltage converter or a new printer.
As a technologist, I would be interested to know why HP can't just make their printers 110 - 240v compatible to buffer for this problem, or at least provide a physical switch to alter the voltage handling like a lot of desktop computers (Dell) have. I mean, if Apple can make their smallest iPod adapters 110 - 240v compatible, then what is the technological barrier to making a printer work the same way?

How do I use my mac in europe?

how do I use my macbook pro in europe?

buy a socket adapter that is for the country you're planning on visiting and plug it in...
your macbook works without buying a transformer since it's rated for 110 to 240 volts...

HT201897 Does a Mac Mini purchased in the USA require a power converter for operation in Europe or should I only purchase a different power cord for it?

Does a Mac Mini purchased in the USA require a power converter to operate outside of the USA or can I simply purchase a different power cord for it?

Depending on which European country (should their mains access plug/port shape vary) the
cord set with correct ends on it has to match. You can buy a cord that plugs into the Mini
where the factory cord goes, and the other end has one for the wall source shape. The wire
for the application should be able to support 110~240VAC.
With the cord or an accurate image in hand, you could either get a new cable to match both
realities (mini + wall supply mains local) or an adapter (US/Standard to EU/Local) for just
the head or input part of the original Apple cable. One plugs into the other, then into wall.
If you have a new Mini with a small modular plug/port on the computer end of the power wire,
it would have only two holes and no ground; the other end would have two prongs of equal
shape and size. Not a polarized plug and not a grounded three-prong. To get a replacement
power wire for the MINI to go from power source to the Mini is recommended, if you are going
to be staying in one location for awhile. A Travel Kit that offers no electrical conversion but only
the physical shape adapter kit, should a available in travel stores, airports; big box discount
stores, computer and electronic stores. This page shows the cord end of the appliance shapes.
The other end would be the mains shape for whichever country you are going to....
http://www.signalandpower.com/European-Power-Cords/
So to match the country or regional power mains type is a primary concern for obtaining the
correct replacement cord to supply the Mini with local mains power. The end which plugs into
the Mini is of a certain type (numbers for EU and elsewhere are published, see link + images)
& the end that gets plugged into the mains or utility side, needs to match the local specification.
The link to Apple, to contact for Support and Service information in prior post, should be able
to help find a source for the local replacement type cord they'd sell local people with a Mini.
Apple local sources offer replacements for this purpose; and for travelers, a second cord for
a direct use (not adapter plugs) is a better bet. For those who only need a cord in two places.
If you are traveling to Denmark, UK, Swiss or other EU countries require different adapters.
Even places where the power itself may be somewhat similar. However your MINI has an
automatic power supply that will conform to that energy standard, you only need to supply a
correct non-transforming adapter. Simply a connection to adapt one shape to another.
The general purpose travel kit that is not specialized to Apple power adapters, would have a
plastic plug/adapter with the local pins on one side, and the US/standard two slots on the other.
So, no circuitry nor any other change of electrical power inside this device would be required.
http://www.signalandpower.com/2-Prong-Plug-Adapters/
http://www.signalandpower.com/Convert-to-Europe-CEE-716-plug/
http://www.signalandpower.com/Swiss-AC-Power-Cords/
In other words, I believe my other post already covered this. On the ground on either end of the
path, adapters are common and the Mini does not use proprietary electrical components IF you
have one of the more recent shape aluminum models with the power supply built in. The older
Mini has the power brick and two wires. A US/Standard plug adapter to EU/Local would work in
either case, since all you'd do is plug the adapter plug into the local mains and the US plug into
that one... I see these kinds of discards for as little as 25¢ in thrift stores in Alaska. Or you can
buy a new one. Or you could get a complete cord with correct ends on it, for Mini + local mains.
Hopefully this helps somewhat. The only info missing is which EU country or region is involved.
Their shapes of plug are different, so the adapter end for local supply has to match their standard.
Swiss, Denmark, UK, and others offer different shapes and so on.
The Apple store in the location you are traveling should be able to supply you with a replacement
cable for a modern MINI, that has the correct local mains end, and the correct Apple mini end on
the opposite. Since the unit is automatically switching, the magic is done.
Since I supplied a means to locate any number of Apple stores, authorized service providers &
other Apple related vendors in my earlier reply: https://locate.apple.com/country you could contact
any of them along your route in the City in whichever EU country, to find a local MINI power cable.
In any event, I'm done...
Good luck and happy trails...

Outputting DVI to HDMI input in LCD TV versus using the DVI to RGB ?

I am thinking of buying a mac mini to connect to a Toshiba 20HL85 TV in the lounge primarily to act as a "media server" and accessing Front Row for music, photo's, DVD watching etc. The question is which connection to use to go from the mini to the TV for Video (audio is fine as it will route into my AV Receiver)? The TV has an HDMI input, component video, s-video and a VGA port. The user manual for the TV says:
Note: The HDMI jack is not intended for connection to and should not be used with a personal computer. For PC connection, use VGA cable and connect to the VGA port. The VGA port allows the following resolutions:
Monitor Display modes:
VGA 640x480 60Hz
SVGA 800x600 56.3Hz
SVGA 800x600 60.3Hz
XGA 1024x768 60Hz
WXGA 1280x720 60Hz
WXGA 1280x768 60Hz
I wanted to know a few things as I have no experience with the MAC mini and HDMI:
1. Will I not get a better/crisper/sharper picture if I connect through a digital port like HDMI versus going through the VGA port?
2. I have checked a few LCD TV's user manuals and they all seem to say the same thing i.e. "Do not connect a PC to the HDMI port" - I fail to understand this when the Apple site specifically says under "accessories for the MAC mini" that "HDMI is electrically similar to DVI, but has a different physical connector that may include an audio signal. You’ll need a DVI to HDMI adapter, such as the Belkin PureAV HDMI to DVI cable to use these televisions".
3. What am I missing? Should I just go ahead and buy the DVI to HDMI cable and MAC mini and plug it in i.e. has anyone done this and had it work? Is it better than VGA (I would hope so)?
Bottom line is does the MAC mini connect to any TV with an HDMI port or are there different types of HDMI ports and hence I need to search for the right TV first? If so, what must I look for? Thanks for any help I can get.
Power Mac G5 Dual 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

One word of advice. I just hooked up my mini to my 32" Lowe HD TV using a DVI to HDMI cable and it doesn't just work. The native resolution of the TV is not available for whatever reason so I have to bodge another resolution which looks terrible. When I plug my powerbook in via a DVI to VGA connector it just does work selecting the correct resolution automatically.
Either the problem lies with the mini or with connecting to the HDMI socket. As the HDMI is simply a dvi with audio I can't see why it would cause problems but who knows. Given all the other problems I am currently having with the mini I am pointing the finger in that direction currently.

I am moving to Europe - can I bring my Verizon iphone 5 or should I buy a new one there?

Hello,
I am moving to Europe, specificaly France, soon and would like to know if I should bring my Verizon iphone 5, or just buy a new one there, since I will have to start a new contract with a European phone company while I am there. I haven't bought my new iphone 5 yet (because I am waiting for this answer) but my mother is alligble for an upgrade with her Verizon account and can get a brand new Verizon iphone 5 for a great deal. She was going to give it to me, but I am leaving for France in 3 months where I will be living there for at least a year. I was going to just purchase a new iphone 5 with one of the European phone companies (like Orange or Vodaphone, ect.) since I will be getting a good deal on them too (when signing up for a new contract), but if the Verizon iphone will work exactly the same over in Europe, I would rather get it now. Either way, I will be spending about the same amount of money. Will I be restricted somehow using a US iphone 5 in Europe, or are the US iphone 5's any different from the iphone 5's in Europe (or tide to European phone companies? Do they offer an insurance plan? (I'm not sure if this even exists in the US. I will be a new iphone user!) I'm just curious what which iphone will be more efficitant to use, since I will be spending most of my time in Europe.
I appreciate you answer!!

Click on the links on the right for some good information. The only concern is that a phone purchased in the States will only be seviced for any repairs in the States. You will not have any warranty coverage in France.

Can I get a replacement for my iPhone 5s in Europe which I have bought in Middle East?

Hi there,
I bought my iPhone 5s two months ago, when I was in Iran for vacation. Now, it is dead and I can not turn it on!!! Some of my friends tell me that some of these iPhone 5s are factory defect and that is why Apple asked everyone who has bought iPhone 5s and have problem with it, to send it back and get a new one.
I called Apple Customer Service in Europe and told them the story, but I got the answer: You have to contact Apple or one of their agents in Iran for repair. My problem is that Apple has no office or agency in Iran, because the country is under the US sanction.
So my question is: Is there anyone in the community who knows with 100% certainty that Apple in Europe is bound/committed to exchange the defect one with a new one or at least repair it for me?
P.S. I have checked the Apple Support for my Service and Support Coverage by providing the serial number. It is active (Estimated Expiration Date: 15 January 2015) and my product is covered for eligible hardware repairs and service under Apple's Limited Warranty.
I appreciate if someone give me an qualified answer.
With regards
Kioumars

The warranty for iPhone is not international. It is only valid for the country of purchase.
So what you were told is accurate. It must be brought back to Iran.
Allan
The issue here is Apple does not have any presence (Apple direct or AASP) in Iran.
The iPhone, if purchased in Iran, was grey market or used and will not be serviced under any Apple warranty in Iran.

Billing doc cost PCA versus GL

The billing doc cost should be different for the PCA posting versus the GL posting. We have transfer pricing activated as well as material ledger. On the material master the standard price for legal valuation is different than profit center valuation and that is fine. When the billing doc posts it uses standard price for legal valuation for the GL posting. It should use standard price for profit center valuation. It uses legal valuation instead. Goods issue does use the correct standard price for GL versus PCA though.
How do I make the billing doc use the correct standard price ( profit center valuation ) for PCA?

Hi,
I am a bit confuesed on scenario explained by you and I am tring to restate the same:
1. You are using Transfer Pricing and Material Ledger is active.
2. You have different prices updated in Standard Price for Legal and Profit Center Valuations respectively.
3. When you make a goods issue, the system uses the Standard Price in the Legal Valuatoin for accounting.
4. You need the system to use Profit Center Valuation Price for accounting.
Opinion.
The Goods issue as updated in the Financial Accounting should use only the Legal Valuation values. The Profit Center Document anyhow will have the cost of sales based on the profit center valuation. This is by design and correct approach.
If your question is related to values posted in Profitability Analysis. You need to activate profit center valuation in PA and then you will see that both values flow to Profitability Analysis.
Hope this helps you.

Performance: Reports Builder versus Running on mid tier report server.

Folks are wondering why a report takes 15 minutes when running on the middle tier report server, paper layout, pdf output displayed via adobe, versus running the paper layout from a laptop within Reports Builder.
Any thoughts about the performance differences we now face with the 3 tier set up or suggestions on what we might tweak?

hello,
unfortunately your post did not specify what the difference in performance is and whether you are connecting to the same database and what platform your deployment environment as oppsed to your dev environment is.
there are certainly some performance differences expected if the depoloyment platform is significantly different from the development paltform, but those differences should not be significant.
there are certain things that might cause performance differences (e.g. graphs in reports, using DISPLAY vs. DEFAULT_DISPLAY on unix platforms, etc.) so knowing a bit more about your platform would be helpful.
also it would be interesting to know if you see a similar degredation with other reports or even the test.rdf that comes with the product. last, but not least, have you tried to deploy your report to the OC4J that comes with the developer suite ? if so, do you see timings similar to the builder or more to your app server execution times ?
thanks,
philipp

I am currently living in Europe and using my iPhone on airplane mode only with wifi. My iMessage switched to my e-mail account and when I go to the settings to switch back to my phone number that isn't an option to click on. How do I get it back?

I am currently living in Europe and using my iPhone on airplane mode when I have wifi. My iMessage is switched to my icloud e-mail address and when I go to my setting to switch it back to my number, it is grayed out and not an option to click. This was working before with my number so I know that it's not from being on airplane mode. How do I get it back to my number?

They need to go into their settings>messages and make sure iMessage is on. Also they should click on the send & receive button to make sure their phone number is selected.

How much should/can I use my iphone 5 in Europe?

I'm vacationing in Europe next month and will be visiting London, Paris and Rome. I've heard all the stories about people coming home to outragous phone bills. I've also heard some suggestions on how to reduce the possibility of this happening. I'm assuming that all of this still applies to the iPhone 5. I'm under the impression that this phone is considered a "world phone", but I realize that roaming is roaming.
I understand that while I'm out exploring the streets of Europe, I shouldn't be scrolling my Facebook or Instagram feeds or updating apps. I know I should only be doing these things while on wifi. I also plan on bringing my Macbook so I can check emails and upload photos, etc.., again, only while back at the hotel on wifi.
I'm just wondering what if I happen to be out and about and need to use Maps for directions? What if I need to call the hotel for something, or call a business for general information? Can I check yelp to see if a restaurant is any good, or will that cost me more than the meal itself? How about sending and iMessage to check in with a family member back home. If I get seperated from someone I'm traveling with, is it going to cost me an arm and a leg to call them to find out where they are? Will my phone even work?
I know that Verizon has an international calling plan, but I'm not sure if this is for a short term vacationer like myself, or for those that travel frequently.
Any advice will be appreciated!
Thanks
(Verizon is my carrier by the way)

Thanks for asking about your device options while roaming through Switzerland, ellenajnos! The good news is yes, your iPhone 5c will work in that country. The better news is you can also add features to your account to enhance your experience and help you control the costs! Have a look at this great tool to plan your trip: http://vz.to/1k7RFqd
