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.

  • Can you use an iPhone4 bought in the USA in the Uk

    I am going the USA and want to buy an iPhone 4. I was wondering if I can use it here in the uk when I get back? Does this also work for the iPad too?

    If you purchase an iPhone that is unlocked (which to the best of my knowledge are available only from the Apple Stores), then yes, it would work in the UK. Note, though, that the warranty on the iPhone is not international. A US iPhone can be serviced only in the US. Note as well that in the US, you will pay sales taxes which are not reflected in the normally-quoted price, so the price benefit over purchasing in the UK is not as large is it might appear, if that's your rationale for purchasing in the US.
    iPads, as long as you don't get the Verizon version, are not locked to any carrier.

    It's good to read Antoniad's post.  It reassures me that I can use my new iPad as an international communication device which is the reason I purchased the thing.  However, I called Verizon today (my provider of cellular data) who told me that I can't just pop in a SIM card as you suggested.  He also said that he was from the "Pre-Pay" division of Verizon and he was certain that I couldn't do what I planned to do.  I was extremely disappointed as I had called Apple prior to buying the iPad and I read the algorhythm on the website for choosing an iPad before purchasing.  Those sources were quite specific and the information seemed clear.  I would be able to use my iPad to communicate through cellular connections while traveling on the road, literally, abroad.  I was told that I could pop in a data card wherever I was, just as you indicated in your message above, and voila I was good to go.  The Verizon rep definitively rained on that parade, but said that I might be able to do this if I have a "Post-Pay" account, a different area of Verizon.  I haven't had the chance to talk to this division yet, so I looked to Apple's Support for answers.  Maybe I will find out that I can use my iPad as an international communication device while traveling on the road afterall, however, it appears I may need a different type of account (Post-Pay), something I was never warned about. Can I switch to this kind of account?  I don't know.  I have to find out.  If you have any information about this issue, it would be good to share since I strongly suspect there are others who bought the iPad for the same purpose that I have.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Ask them for a refund for a device which is not fit for purpose, if they refuse contact a solicitor or seek advice from other consumer organisations that may be available to you in your area.

  • 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.

    Hi: I don't believe that Telus provides unlocking for the iPhone. Other phones, yes, iPhone no.

    Get a charge card from a Chinese bank with a local billing address. Create a new iTunes account with a new Apple ID using your Chinese charge card and billing address.

    Can anyone help me display the calendar list using an iphone4 with iso 7.1.1?  I have already tried tapping the magnifying glass and that doesn't work.

    That icon allows for the calendar month to display with the appts for that month below.  I want to see only the list of appointments without the month displaying.  I use to be able to get that display but since the last update tapping the magnifiying glass doesn't work.

  • 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.

  • How to factory unlock iphone4 bought from australia ?

    how to factory unlock iphone4 bought from australia ?

    The ONLY way to get any carrier locked iPhone officially unlocked is through the carrier the phone is locked to. There is no other way to get an iPhone officially unlocked. So, contact the carrier your phone is locked to to see if they offer unlocking & what the cost/procedure is. If they don't offer unlocking or you don't qualify, then there is no way to get your phone officially unlocked.

  • TS1292 My pin number had been already use? I bought a $10 card and it appears that has been used. How can i solve this?

    Hi!!
    My pin number had been already use? I bought a $10 pin number and it appears that has been used.
    How can i solve this?
    I already speak with a representative of the provider company and they told me to contact Itunes or apple to solve this.
    Help me please!!
    I cant neither pay with my Master card debit and now with a pin.

    From where did you buy this "PIN"? And did you get an actual card, or did they just send you a number? If you got only a number, then you may well have been defrauded. You'll need to go back to whoever sold you this "PIN" to resolve the problem. Apple to the best of my knowledge does not authorize any company to provide codes rather than a physical card and hence probably cannot help you if you did not get a physical iTunes card or receive a gift certificate issued by the iTunes Store themselves.
