Using a UK bought iPhone5 in Canada

I have an iphone 5 bought here in the UK, but I'm moving to Canada for a year in a few weeks.
I have a vague understanding that the phone will still work in Canada, but can someone explain the steps involved to make it happen. For example: Do I get the phone unlocked here in the UK, or can I wait until I arrive in Canada. Etc.
Thanks

Assuming you purchased the iPhone 5f rom a carrier with contract ,then you must request they unlock the iPhone
It will not work on any other carrier until they do
You will have 3G capability in Canada ,but no LTE(4G)

    hello,

    this iphone5 is under warranty period.and now i am parmennantly in india so how can i use this warrary? this phone is factory unlock and alos i have my purches bill of 840$.

    If the phone is factory unlocked you can sell it but you probably won't be able to get the warranty replacement in India. 
    Also, what seems to be the problem with your picture? It seems pretty normal to me, I mean you're taking a picture of the sun, of course it's going to have some glare.

    Thanks Jakob. You are correct.
    I just finished another "experiment".
    I transcode the whole clip 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to another ext Western Digital HDD and got the Error -50 too. Problem is this ext Western Digital HDD is Daisy chained to the LaCIe.
    So, I tried transcoding to another ext Western Digital HDD connected to my router. And this time NO PROBLEM.
    So, I should readjust the FW800 connectors.
    What do you mean by the controller of the Firewire ?
    Thanks

    All I'm saying is, the error -50 from the Finder normally means there is something spooky going on.
    Here, the LaCie drives become unstable. In the few cases where I'v actually opened the cage and put the HDD into another mount, the HDD seems to be fine, so I suspect it's either the FW connectors of the controller itself.
    If the drive is under warranty, replace it, otherwise, move your data to another drive if it startes to do so frequently.
    Here, the drive will 'behave' normally for some time after a reboot of the OS, but it's a pain to reboot every X hours...

  • Hai Matt  I have a problem with download a new app. While I bought iphone5, I take iphone to shopkeeper for download some app and videos that he used his Apple ID . That's t problem now.. Not all the time his ID is appearing but some times hi

    Hai Matt
    I have a problem with download a new app. While I bought iphone5, I take iphone to shopkeeper for download some app and videos that he used his Apple ID . That's t problem now.. Not all the time his ID is appearing but some times his Apple ID is appearing that time I can't download app, videos, songs.. So please guide me to remove that ID or how to solve that..
    Regards
    Babu

    Check Settings/iTunes and AppStore/AppleID and make sure that your AppleID is filled in. If not , sign out and sign in with the correct info.
    To make sure that no other apps or videos are on your device than the one you bought, set it up as new device, explained here: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    Content that is not bought with your ID can't be used on your phone, that's why his ID and password is asked when you try to use those apps downloaded in the store.

  • Using an Iphone4 bought in Macau China in Canada

    Can I use an iphone bought in Macau, China in Canada??

    What are the last three characters of your eleven-character machine serial number? That will help determine if your machine was built using an auto-ranging 110-220 volt, 50-60 Hz power supply, or was simply equipped with a singe range unit matched to that country. Most machines fabricated for Apple use a power supply with the autoranging design feature, so that—as indicated above—you need use either the proper Apple-supplied AC power cord, or an appropriated plug adapter.
    If you have or can remove the back of your machine, and pull the power supply from it, what are the last four characters of the serial number on the power supply itself?
    It's likely that your friend plugged his 110 volt only model into 220 volt service, though the result should have been readily recognized by a rather spectacular string of sudden sounds and smells which are a dead giveaway. If those did not occur, it may be simply coincidental damage, and not a result of mismatched voltage or frequency.
    Machines used in any of the European Union nations require an RoHS compliant supply, which is available from local Apple service providers and dealers, and would replace any non-compliant supply currently installed in your machine. Most Apple products of all sort are now RoHS compliant, no matter what their intended ultimate distribution point is.

  • I just bought iphone5s recently when I turn the phone on with touch ID. I get o flashing light on top left on da phone I wonder Why??

    I just bought iphone5s recently when I turn the phone on with touch ID. I get o flashing light on top left on da phone I wonder Why??

    Unfrotunately, this sounds like a dead TC.
    - also, the picture does NOT pick up the 2 airport expressess in the house that I used to extend the wirelass network on the previous TC
    - there is no option to extend the wireless network
    You need to reconfigure the Expresses to rejoin the TC's network via a factory reset.

  • HT2688 i just bought iPhone5, i restored from back up..only thing it would not pick up was my 92 SONGS..plz help

    Hello,i just bought iPhone5,i restored from back up..everything is fine BUT my 92 songs does not appear on my ip5.. i saw a couple tatourlis that didnt help.. Wanted to get some answers if anybody would be so kind!!!

    You need to return it to the seller and get your money back.  You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
    If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

    Hand it over to the police if you cannot get a refund.
    You will never be able to use it, it's Activation Lock you're facing and cannot be bypassed without the original Apple ID & password.

  • TS4009 I seem to have 2 iCloud accounts with different names - a free storage that came with my Macbook and one I used when I bought some iCloud space. How can I cancel the free account?

    I seem to have 2 iCloud accounts with different names - a free storage that came with my MacBook and one I used when I bought some iCloud space. How can I cancel the free account? Because of this I can't access iMatch and the ICloud account I paid for on my MacBook
    Any ideas cos its frustrating that I can't access something I paid for!

    Sign out of the account you do not wish to use, sign into the one that you do wish to use.

  • I bought iphone from Canada but now I'm in Thailand and I upgraded to ios6 but I couldn't turn on wifi and back up on icloud so I want to know that how can I claim my iphone with apple care because no apple store in Thailand. Thank you.

    I bought iphone from Canada but now I'm in Thailand and I already upgraded to ios6 but It doesn't work well.I couldn't turn on wifi and back up on icloud so I want to know how can I do with my iphone because no apple store in Thailand.Can I send it to any apple care which is easy and near my country? Thank you.

    You can find a local shop and pay to get it fixed or you will need to send the phone to someone you know in Canada and have them take the phone into Apple for service. Then they will need to ship the phone back to you. The warranty is based in the original country of purchase.
    Decide which is your best option.

  • I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation.  It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0.  How can I get this to work?

    I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation.  It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0.  How can I get this to work?

    Oaky, at least we got that far.  Next step is to determine if all those "numbers" are really numbers.  Changing the format to "number" doesn't necessarily change the string to a number. The string has to be in the form of a number.  Some may appear to you and me as numbers but will not turn into "numbers" when you change the formatting from Text to Number. Unless you've manually formatted the cells to be right justified, one way to tell if it is text or a number is the justification. Text will be justified to the left, numbers will be justified to the right.
    Here are some that will remain as strings:
    +123
    123 with a space after it.
    .123

  • Using Apple TV bought in the U.S. in England

    Any issues using Apple TV bought in the U.S. in England ?

    I once plugged 240Volts UK power into a US 110V Xbox development kit.
    It went bang!
    But if your Apple TV is the same as my UK model. It says (on the grey rubber base) 110-240V
    So no problems with power.
    There should be no problems with the video output either. Analog TVs had NTSC and PAL - but HDMI is a digital standard. So your Apple TV should work fine.
    In the UK we don't have Movie Rentals yet. Or movies of any kind - but that's because we have UK iTunes accounts. A US account should still work.
