Use in a Foreign Country

Can an MacBook be used in the Philippines? If so, is there anything needed besides the power conversion?
Mark

All portable Macs come with an auto switching power supply, so all you need to get is a set of plug converters like THESE.

  • How do I unlock my iPhone in order to use in a foreign country?

    I'm about to have a short vacation to a different country and I just want to know how to make my iPhone (in the US) becomes useable in a different country.

    Only the carrier to whom it is now locked can unlock it assuming they are able and willing. You would then need to obtain service and a SIM to use in the country you are visiting.

  • How to use iPhone in foreign country with non US career?

    I want to pre-order iPhone 5 from this internet site (US), but I live in Slovenia. Am I going to be able to use my phone with slovenian career? if not, how could I be able to do that that? I heard something abou unlocking the phone, but I don't know where, how and who could/should do that?

    In order to be able to order from the U.S. Online Store you need to have a U.S. credit card and the device has to be shipped to a U.S. address.

  • Using ipod in foreign country

    I'm currently in China & my (American-bought) ipod mini really needs to be charged. Could i just connect it onto a laptop here at work to charge or would I need a converter? I believe there is a power difference here (china is at about 220 watts whereas the States is under 200) and it'd be nice if I didn't have a fried Ipod when I return to the States. :P

    This has more to do with your laptop than your iPod. If your laptop will work in the country you are in, then you can safely connect the iPod and charge it. No converter needed.
    And it's volts, not watts.

  • Using iPhone in Foreign Country

    If I charge my iPhone in Greece or Israel, do I need only an adapter for the plug or do I have to get a converter or transformer?

    I am in the US with a 100 volt plug for my USB cable from my iPhone.

  • TS1646 I live in a foreign country and would like to use my US credit card (which has my current foreign address) to make purchase in the US App Store. How do I do this?

    I live in Japan but I would like to use my US credit card to make purchases in the US Store.
    I had no problems with this previously, but I recently informed my US bank of my Japanese address and changed it (had to).
    There is no way to input my Japanese address (so that it matches the bank information) in the fields for the US App Store (which has no foreign country fields, you are limited to having to fill in the US state field, flags me for phone number area code differences, etc.). 
    When I hit the change country button: A) It took me to the Japanese App Store; B) I could not use my US credit card there (despite my Japanese address).
    Yes, I may want to make purchases in the Japanese App Store in the future (I am bilingual), but the selections are different depending on the country.
    Now I can make purchases in neither country.
    I want to make purchases in the US Store from Japan.
    Help! I feel like I am getting punished for being global. (The world should be getting smaller, more interconnected, and more convenient with the Internet --- not the opposite!)

    Well, I can certainly understand the licensing argument if I were using a Japanese credit card with a Japanse address and making a purchase with Japanese yen from the US Store from Japan.
    When I am making a purchase with US card from the US store with US dollars, the argument becomes a bit suspect  (I know it is Apple's, not your argument).
    it is just kind of a paradoxical situation and I am hoping Apple will offer some sort of solution. We can always hoe, right?
    Thank you for your reply.

  • USB Adapter's Use in foreign country that does not use standard 110 and

    I am not taking my lap top on my trip to NZ but want to charge battery on IPod. Will the Apple USB Adapter work with an additional adapter for the different current and plug in that foreign country?

    Yes, you can take the USB adaptor. New Zealand uses 230V. All you need is a plug adaptor so you can plug it into the socket. New Zealand uses the same plugs as Australia.

  • Can I use my original iphone 1 in foreign country?

    Can I use my original iphone 1 (cost $499) in foreign country?  Thanks.

    You can certainly use it.  You would need an international roaming plan.
    It is very unlikely that you can use a foreign SIM card.  Almost all, if not all, original iphones are carrier locked.
    Depending on in what country you reside, then your carrier may unlock it.  No U.S. carrier provides unlocking at all.

  • How would 2 people call each other using facetime if both were in a foreign country but staying at different locations within that country?

    How would 2 people call each other using facetime if both were in a foreign country but staying at different locations within that country?

    It's tied to the Apple ID also - I believe it would use that to find the right person/device.
    Perhaps this article would help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319. It looks like you may want to go in through your contacts and make the call.
    If you're concerned about data charges, put your phone in Airplane mode before trying to Facetime. That will prevent it from trying to make a call over your cellular data.

  • Cost of calling local # in foreign country

    What is the cost of calling a local number when I am in a foreign country?  Is it just the same roaming charge I would pay to call a US number from that country?  That's what a Verizon representative told me but it doesn't sound right.
    If I am in London, for example, and I have the Global Value Plan will I pay $.99/minute to call a London number or a US number?

        nycityny,
    We do not want you to have any surprise charges on your bill. Lets make sure you are able to see exactly what the rates for calling a number in the use while international. The rate for making a call while in London whether calling an international number or dialing a number from the U.S. the rate is $0.99 per minutes with the Global Value Plan.

    I just lost my iphone5 in a foreign country. Was not able to  previously register it with icloud and have not installed the findmy iphone app. How can i wipe out my data remotely without these setups? Is there any good app i can use to track it? Please help!

  • How do I recover Icloud password if I don't have access to primary/rescue email and I cannot guess the security questions? (I'm in a foreign country and don't have a phone)

    I just lost my phone and I'm in a foreign country. I'm thinking I won't get it back, but I'm trying to log on to icloud.com to use find my iphone app. However for whatever reason the same Apple ID has a different password for itunes and icloud. I have no way of calling apple or retreiving my forgotten password online. What do I do?

    Without the proper name and password there is nothing you can do.
    Your old passord is needed before you can create a new one.

  • New lync 2013 , 2 subdomains ,ad one domain in foreign country

    As you can see in the picture below, I have the main AD called main.prod and two child1 and child2 subdomains. What is more  I have AD called international.prod placed in foreign country.  I have mbox, cas  using child1.main.prod domain and
    lync 2010  with UM funcion. The more I have 2way trust  between child2.main.prod subdomain and international.prod domain. Now what I would like to do is : make CAS in subdomain child2.main.prod which is authorising people from domain international.prod
    and have mailboxes on mbox from subdomain child1.main.prod as it is shown in the picture. Do you think it make sense? Or I have to make mbox in subdomain child2.main.prod????
    WHat else: I would like resign Lync 2010 and  install new  Lync 2013 and make people from subdomains: child1 and child2 and domain international.prod using this new Lync ,and move UM funcionality from old 2010 lync into new 2013.
    Any contraindications, suggestions??

    Lync Server supports the following topologies for Exchange UM integration:
    Multiple domain (that is, a root domain with one or more child domains). Lync Server, and Microsoft Exchange servers are deployed in different domains from the domain where you create users. Exchange UM servers can be deployed in different
    domains from the Lync Server pool they support.

    Hello darkhawk,
    Thank you for the recommendation.  I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one  - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
    Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
    If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

    Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

  • HT1807 Urgent Please: Connecting To Network in Foreign Country

    I am in a foreign country (Dubai) and my phone works fine except it cannot connect to a Network. It just says "No Service" in upper left-hand corner. I go to Settings > Carrier > Select Available Carrier (that others with iPhone are using), but nothing.
    Any thoughts?
    I cannot call anyone because the phone is not working.

    You can get a USB power adapter to plug your iPod cable into.
