Using my ibook in costa rica

Happy New Year. I'm moving to Costa Rica this month and am wondering if I can just plug my telephone into my ibook g-4 osx 10-4-8 and get internet connection. In other words, is there an internal modem that will convert digital to analog or do i have to by some sort of external device.

Hi A — welcome to Apple discussions!
I think yes, you can just plug in the telephone wire into your iBook, and you can get Internet connection by doing that — provided you have an Internet Service Provider that will give you dial-up Internet access. You also have to know what the ISP number is (and obviously your username and password for them.)
Happy New Year!

As I can use my iphone in Costa Rica if you buy from apple miami and is locked to AT

As I can use my iphone in Costa Rica if you buy from apple miami and is locked to AT & T??

There is nothing you can do.
There is nothing AT&T can do.
There is nothing Apple can do.
If you wanted to use the phone internationally, you should have gotten an unlocked phone. You are stuck with AT&T.

Catalog not available for Costa Rica

I've recently bought a Palm Pre2... as I should say this is the best smart phone i've had; i'm very frustrated by the fact that I cannot download anything from the Catalogl this because it is not open yet for Costa Rica.... c'mon!?!?!?
I cannot download any app, I can get system updates, but just that.
Is there any way I can get to the catalog? Can i use a USA sim and reset the profile? Please let me know what's the trick so I can get to download applications.
PLEASE let me know....

If you have activated your phone using SIM card from Costa Rica you dont have an option get applications from US even if you try and sign in again using US Simcard. Partial erase, full erase, nor WebOS Doctor can fix this.
The device record is created once after creating your palm profile and this cannot be changed afterwards. Your first good activation will be for that device, no matter what you use next time you activate.

We just moved from the United States to Costa Rica. The first two days my mac worked great. Then all of a sudden I was trying to use a game application and the screen went black and there is a white cursor which I can move around, but I can't escape it

We just moved from the United States to Costa Rica. The first two days my mac worked great. Then all of a sudden I was trying to use a game application and the screen went black and there is a white cursor which I can move around, but I can't escape it. When I restart it seems okay and I see my main screen, but only for a second and then it goes black again.
This computer was brand new in June. Is it the humidity??? What can I do. Please help!!!!

No guarantess but try smc and pram resets,

Do I need a converter to use IPAD in costa rica?

I want to bring my IPAD 2 to Costa Rica. The travel information says that Costa Rica has the same power specs as the US. I just wanted to see if anyone knew if that was true or if there were power issues in using the IPAD in that country.

Thanks. One less thing to worry about.

My country lacks of information about businesses and streets, to mention some. I want to provide my time for free to help populate this information and make Apple Maps useful in Costa Rica.

I love using Siri and your maps. But in Costa Rica, your maps lack of businesses data, and Siri is unable to provide any information about them, since this information is missing. I want to offer my time and work for free to help to populate this information in Costa Rica, starting by capital city San José. Google is much more advanced in the subjet, and I don´t see fair how complete this information is for United States and not the rest of the customers (not to make critic, just pinpointing a fact).
Who do I contact in order to make this offer?
Thank you so much in advance.

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to volunteering to help, you can report issues via the Report A Problem under the main menu in Maps:
Apple does not otherwise recruit users to assist with data correction, in part because they get the data from other companies. It's possible that there is no such compendium source of data for Costa Rica, at least one that Apple has yet been able to strike an agreement with.

HT4972 I cant up date my iphone 4 because we cant use itunes in Costa Rica

I cant up date my iphone 4 because we dont have access to itunes in Costa Rica I need a link

As has been said a couple of times now, you need to update it through iTunes on your computer. The procedure is completely documented, step by step, in both article you apparently read before you came here, "HT4972: iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later" and in the article I linked to above in the section headed "Update your device using iTunes".
If your computer does not recognize your iPhone, tell us what operating system and version of iTunes are running on the system and we can probably provide further advice.
Regardss.

I want to develop iphone apps. But I am from Costa Rica, I have seen that there are developers who sell from my country here. I wonder what method of payment used for developer profits, for example Paypal?

If so could make money there, and a local bank, has service PayPal.

Apple does not pay developers via PayPal. All payments are made directly to your bank via electronic funds transfer.
For more information on Apple's program for distributing your apps, see:

HELP I am in Costa Rica and my computer won´t work!!

I have moved to COsta RIca for the year and now my computer wont seem to work. I was tying an email when a box came on the said ¨you need yo restart you computer¨From what I understand this is a kernal panic or something like that. I restarted the computer and the box came up again. I restarted it again and the screen stayed black and the computer beeped three times. For the past few days it has npw been doing this. I have tried to restart it in safe mode and that does not work. I also restarted it pressing apple s and typed in the sbin-fsck code and when I did this the computer said everything was OK. Obviously it is not! Sometimes it works and others the screen stays black and it beeps three times. DOes anyone know what this means. I think I need to reload the operating system but my disk is locked away in storage in the states! Anoter girl here has the new mac laptop. Is it possible to use her disk to load the operating system. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The site is having some problems, so try to be patient.
Here is an article that might help you:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
You did not say which OS you are using. If you need to reinstall the OS, you will either need the (gray) discs that came with your computer or a retail DVD of the OS(black). A MacBook specific disc will not work in an iBook.
See if that article helps, and feel free to post back with any questions.
Good luck!

How can I have a call with someone from Customer Support if I live in Costa Rica? I have forgotten the answers to my security questions and basically I can't buy anything on iTunes. I do not have a rescue email account otherwise I won't be writing here.

I have been trying to fix this by myself but I gave up! I don't remember the answers I provided before. Tried to have a call with apple support but it seems that this is not an option if you live in Costa Rica. How am I supposed to spend the credit I have in my apple account?
Thank you... Pura vida!

As Costa Rica isn't on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
then try contacting Support via this form and explain that you've forgotten your answers, don't have a rescue email address, and your country isn't on the HT5699 page and see how they reply : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 .

I'm trying to place an order for 3 iPhoto Albums, but the system won't take the billing address. I'm in Costa Rica and will send the albums to an address in Miami. Can't find any support live chat for billing issues.

You need to use a credit card with a billing address in the same country as the delivery address. Since there's no Apple Print Store for Costa Rica I assume you're using the United States print store. Therefore you'll need a credit card with a billing address in the US.

Can I purchase music from Costa Rica?

I will be living in Costa Rica for 6 months and when I was there last year, I believe I had heard that someone was not able to purchase music from the iTunes music store. Is this the case?
Does anyone know whether it is possible to fully use the iTunes Store from Costa Rica?
Thanks.

Thank you. Just to confirm, if I do not have a credit card on file with a billing address in Costa Rica, then I will not be able to purchase music while I am located in Costa Rica? I will have a physical/mailing address, but my credit card is mailed to my residence in Maine. Thanks.

E72 No map of Costa Rica available in OVI

OK, got my phone and came home to download a Costa Rica map so I could use the GPS.
Guess what? Only few country maps are available trough OVI and Costa Rica is not one.
Please what map format is needed and how to manually install it (steps), so I can try to find a Costa Rica Map and get it install....

Haven't checked Costa Rica map.. but I did notice that some major countries have very little map information... eg. Japan does have a map but only the major highways are there. There doesn't seem to be map data for Korea either. The China map, surprisingly is quite detailed (for the big cities, it even had street number info for the street addresses!). In our country Philippines, the map data is erratic -- major cities are pretty complete (but not very updated), but rural far-flung areas only have map data for highways (but minor streets are typically not indicated, or only few).
This page shows Nokia Map Coverage:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/maps-support/pricing-and-coverage/map-coverage-tool
However, I wonder about it's accuracy, since for instance, as mentioned above, the Philippines map isn't exactly complete, but I find the street data in the cities quite complete, yet the map coverage tool in the above link says "Philippines - no map coverage information"...
~~~~~~~~
With regards to Google Maps, yes, it does seem to usually be more complete than Nokia Map (at least with the maps that I tried), however, its big downside is that it can't be pre-downloaded onto the cellphone -- one needs an active Internet connection to download maps [which can be slow too if using cellphone wifi] -- and if you're in a country which doesn't have telecom Internet data plans, then it's simply too expensive to download data on the fly [data downloads is per kilobyte charging in most of our telecoms]
Another downside is that Google Maps may not have routing information for some places (at least it doesn't have routing information in the Philippines, whereas Ovi Maps does have routing information for the Philippines)
Another nifty new feature of Google Maps is that one could speak out the place that you're looking for (voice recognition), although I'm not sure of its accuracy. (again, an active Internet data connection will be needed for this feature to work).
