Using in Japan

Hi,
I am going to Japan and staying with my family for a while. I am taking my powerbook G4 17in. Electricity over there is 100 V and here in the US is 120 V, so I bought a World Travel Adapter Kit, but the North America and Japanese plugs are the same so I returned it. Is there no problem using my American computer in Japan?
Also I want to use my family's printer and scanner (Japanese) – can I just connect their USB cables to my powerbook? Or do I need to buy something? I don't want to destroy my powerbook...
Thank you!
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 17 inch

in Japan apparently voltage is 100 Volts and US plug is used.
you didn't even have to buy travel adapter, Apple 65W adapter supposed to be 50-60Hz 100-240 Volts.
USB is an "industry standard" and supposed to work with no problems.
for PowerBook is a good idea to get extended warranty - laptop repairs out of warranty are very expensive.

How do download and install the Japan iOS?
Many thanks.

Hi,
I bought an iphone 5s model A1533 unlocked from US. But in India, this model doesn't support 4G in Airtel. Is there any way to get a replace with another model which supports 4g in india like A1530 ??
Yes. Sell that phone and use the proceeds to buy the correct phone for your country in India. So you want Apple to pay for a mistake YOU made? What gives you the sense of self entitlement?

German iPhone 4 using in Japan

Hi there,
my wife will travel in August for three weeks to Japan. So far I've collected these information: GSM ist not available, UMTS in Tokyo - but NTT DoCoMo don't support UMTS. What other provider (Softbank ?) support UMTS?
Her iPhone 4 is not simlocked. She wants to use it for SMS and Mail in Japan and to Germany in these three weeks.
How about the costs of prepaid cards?
Any information is appreciated.

The only way you would be able to do that is if you have AT&T unlock the phone. If you are out of contract, you may qualify. See this link from AT&T http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB414532&cv=820#fbid=6d7EKuCF_dr
If you qualify, here is the request link https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/

Use in Japan

I'm thinking of buying a nano here in the US, putting music and photos on it and giving it to a friend in Japan.
Will it charge properly using the wall outlets and 100 volt power they have??

Don't know for sure, but I suspect yes.
My parents-in-law bought my daughter a Gameboy advance SP while in Japan. It was clearly marked for Japan sale only but it works fine here in the states (with its Japanese power adapter).
I suspect the opposite will work for your friend in Japan.
Anybody else with experience?

Nokia n95 use in Japan

Does the Nokia n95 -3 model (purchased in Australia, Next G model) work in Japan?

as far as i know NTT docomo the main mobile operator in japan is the creator of the WCDMA or "3G" and it's operating this protocol in japan.
your N95-3 should support WCDMA. qoute from specs "WCDMA 850/1900(HSDPA) with simultaneous voice and packet data (PS max speed UL/DL= 384/3.6MB, CS max speed 64kbps)"
SO. i think it should work fine in japan.
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

Using an iPad in Japan

I would like to buy an iPad that I will use in Japan with a Japanese cell phone provider. Are there any compatibility problems to worry about? Is it better to buy an iPad in Japan? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello-
I am looking a buying an iPad, but in October I'll be moving to Japan for a 1 year study abroad program. I know that US iPads aren't carrier locked (while Japanese ones are). If I go ahead and purchase one in the US, will I be able to have 3G connectivity in Japan? Softbank doesn't seem to offer much info on the subject, so I'm wondering if I will be able to use their data service without buying the iPad from them. I don't want a Japanese one because then it will be useless when I return to the states.
Thanks!

OK, this is how I understand it with Softbank. If you're just traveling there, on a tourist visa, you have no shot at getting a local data plan. If you're there on a green card (or whatever Japanese immigration call it) or a student Visa, AND you have a local address, you can get one. If you don't speak Japanese, bring someone along to translate for you.
So, depending on what you're doing there, you can get a local data plan.

Using 3G iphone in Japan

I wonder whether I could use 3G iphone in Japan? I am using it in HK with a 3G supplier. Is it possible for me to use it in Japan?
Is it possible to use the GPRS in japan as well? When I searched Japan map here, all the maps are written in the Traditional Chinese. Will the maps turn to be Japanese while I am using in japan?

The iPhone 3G is now sold in Japan, so yes. Not sure about the map thing.
you need to check with your carrier to see what you need in Japan to ge airtime. Possibly a prepaid sim card or something

Living in Japan and I'm an American who just signed up with Soft Bank the phone service here and spent a TON of money on an iPhone. I can't figure out how to connect my bank account at home to my app account so I can Skype my family. Please help!!!! I don't have a credit card nor do they gove debit cards to foreigners here, or at least it's really hard so I'm using my bank at home and still have a debit there. My phone number is 8 numbers plus the country code which is strange! Another thing is I was given a phone email that I was told to use for texting but I'm not sure how that works!! It's so frustrating too because no one speaks English here and I'm not very tech savvy. God bless you if you can help :)

whichever app store you are connecting to, hyou need a credit card with an address in that country. Also, itunes gift cards must be in local currency too.
If you are in japan, you need to use the japan app store

Using US 110V AirPort Express in Europe with 220V?

Hello all,
I want to use my 110 V Air Port Express (US Version) in Europe at 220V.
I know, that the sticker on the Express module says "110V".
I also found the tech specs, which state usage from 110V to 240V (http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/specs.html)
And, I know that my power supply for my MacMini says 110V on the sticker as well, the tech specs state 110 to 240 V and it indeed works fine with 240V.
I ASSUME that the airport express will be just fine - but it would be nice if someone could confirm. No need to fry more devices than nescessary....
Any help/input is greatly appreciated...

the express will handle the power issue quite well. however, i'm not sure if you don't run into problems with the channels it is broadcasting on. from the AX tech specs:
Channels
+Channels 1-11, 36-48, and 149-165 approved for use in the United States and Canada+
+Channels 1-13 and 36-64 approved for use in Japan+
+Channels 1-13 and 36-140 approved for use in Europe+

Wrt54gp2 -- using 110v in country with 220v

I purchased a universal ac/dc adapter set to 12 volts, positive polarity, and a "load current" of 1000mA in order to run my wrt54gp2 in Israel. After i plug it in, the power light will flicker for a few seconds and then go out. Based upon my rather limited knowledge about this kind of stuff, it would appear this is the correct adapter and the settings are right (fact is I tried two different brands of adapter ... and two different adapters of each brand). Anyone know why this wouldn't work and are there any other solutions as to how get this thing to power up.Thanks?

It sounds as if you are trying to use the US store. Use the Japan store or use the US store with a US based address, credit card and phone number.

Changing country back to japan without credit card

The apple id was in japan before, but i wanted to download some apps that can only be downloaded in the china app store.
Now, i cant even go back to the japan itunes store and download or update anything because i have no credit card.
Usually when i try to change my apple id, there is a option 'none' for the credit card selection.
What can i do now? Must i register a new apple id or is there a way to bypass the credit card selection?
Thank you for bearing my bad english.

You need to be in a country to use its store - if you are in Japan then you can only use the Japan store, using another country's store whilst not in a country is a violation of the store's terms which you agreed to. Asking for credit card details is a way of confirming that you are able to download content from that country's store. If you are being prompted to enter credit card details and you don't have a credit card then try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can help you change countries without needing to enter one : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
