Using US-bought AppleCare in Europe

Last year I bought my MBA in the country where I live, in Slovakia, from an Apple Premium Reseller. Apple does not sell AppleCare in Slovakia, so for now I'm only covered by the one year limited warranty and of course the 2-year EU consumer protection. Right now I am in the US and I'm staying here until September and I'm thinking about buying AppleCare for my MBA.
All the Apple support documents are a little bit confusing in these matters, plus Apple has no retail stores in Slovakia yet, just various authorized resellers, so my question is:
Can I buy AppleCare in the USA for a MBA purchased in Slovakia and can Apple Authorized Service Providers service my MBA covered by US-bought AppleCare?

I wouldn't trust that.
Last time I spoke to someone in Apple Support who told me that was wrong. Because I spoke to another person who read the chat and said the person gave me incorrect information. As I said AppleCare is a huge mess.
Then I was told to buy the extended Apple Care which gives me 4 years, not 3 and is covered worldwide.

You can determine its eligibility for AppleCare by entering the serial number on this page:
Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage

Could my device still be covered if I didn't bought AppleCare Plus during my purchase?

Looks like even the iPad comes with the 1 year limited warranty like all Apple products.
Apple Inc. of One Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California, U.S.A. 95014 (“Apple”) warrants the Apple-branded iPhone, iPad or iPod hardware product and accessories contained in the original packaging (“Apple Product”) against defects in materials and workmanship when used normally in accordance with Apple's published guidelines for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the date of original retail purchase by the end-user
The 90 days from data of purchase limit is on telephone support.
In any case it is best for the OP to get service as soon as possible.

<edit>
But your right Apple Care needs to be bought within the first 60 days
How to get AppleCare+
Purchase AppleCare+ together with your new iPad, and you'll be automatically registered in the plan. Add it to your shopping cart during the checkout process when you purchase your new iPad.
Or buy it within 60 days of your iPad purchase:

My iPhone 6 plus screen was crashed, how much is the cost if I want to repair it at Apple? FYI: I didn't bought Applecare+. I bought my iPhone 6 plus 3 months ago in Singapore.

$129 US. https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/screen-damage/ For local pricing call your nearest Apple store. If you live somewhere other than Singapore you'll have to send the phone to someone you trust in Singapore and have them take the phone in to have it repaired. iPhone's do not have an international warranty and can only be serviced in the country they were purchased.

Why cant i use a bought call-tone bought through I-tones for calling tones for just one of my contacts?

What makes you believe that you can't? To set a custom ringtone (or SMS tone) for a contact, go to that contact entry, tap the Edit button in the upper right. You can then edit both ringtones and SMS tones for that contact.

Has anyone used their Galaxy Nexus in Europe?

Verizon Tech support told me that I could, but i wanted to confirm with you all. Can i only use the data over there? or can i also get voice? I need to order a new phone for work and I'd like to use this, however i travel to China and EU.
Any first hand feedback would be great, but i'll take any comments.
TIA,
Alan

Europe runs primarily on GSM technology which is not compatible with Verizon's CDMA technology. To use a Verizon phone in Europe you'd likely have to have a "world phone" which would contain both CDMA and GSM radios. Although I love the Galaxy Nexus and it should work in Asia, you'll have a tough time in Europe.
You might want to consider the upcoming Galaxy S III, which has both CDMA and GSM radios. Preorders start tomorrow, the device will likely be out later in June or sometime in July. This will probably be your best bet for a great phone that can work anywhere in the world, aside from the iPhone 4S.

If these don't work you probably have a hardware problem. Visit an Apple store for an evaluation or contact Apple Support.

Can I use ApplceCare bought by my US student friend on a MacBook Air in India?

I had bought my MacBook Air 13 inch base model in India 11 months ago and have been using it here and will continue to do so.
My (MS) student friend in the USA offered to buy me one from his university store or maybe an Apple store which will be discounted.
I think by the time I myself join it will be more than 12 months so only discount option is via him. In India they do not procide studen discount to AppleCare if it was not bought at the time MacBook was bought. I just asked this to an official reseller(Apple doesn't have its own stores here).
I am not sure whether I can use it or not, on my MacBook Air I mean.
So, can I do it?
If no, then can you please tell me why not?
And if yes, then how should I/he should procced for the purchase so that there's no problem.
Because from what I understand if I use my AppleID to buy this from Apple Online Store, which I actually tried till checkout and address from and logged out after that, then I will/might also have to produce some kind of ID proof that I am a student and I am not one.
If my friends does that from his AppleID then that might be tied to his AppleID, or it's not like that?
What if he just walks into an Apple Store with his student ID or simply arranges a pickup at one store having bought already online?
How to go about it.

Looks like I can as long as the AppleCare is used the guy transfers the AppleCare to my name after buying.

Using your mini Mac in Europe at 220 V?

I am about to purchase the mini Mac from a Mac Store and have noticed in the specification for power input they have listed 110 V (US, Japan, South America). I spend my time between Europe and the US and would like to be able to take my mini Mac with me. I have gone to the European Apple sites and they have it listed there 110-240 V. Does that mean that if I purchase a mini Mac here in the States, I won't be able to use it in Europe because of the voltage difference, but if I purchase it in Europe I can use it both here and there? Has anyone ever used the mini Mac they purchased in the US in Europe?
Do tell, oh wise one....

There is some confusion as to whether the mini sold in the Americas and Japan is really only 110 volt.
One person reported in this forum a few months ago that they took a new Mac mini to the UK and the power pack burned out immediately when he plugged it directly into the local electric current with just a plug adapter.
However, a number of folks reported just last week in another thread in this forum that they have taken Mac minis bought in North America and used them successfully in various European locations with just a plug adapter without any harm.
Here is an example of a universal adapter that is usable in 150 nations. It will convert any plug to fit any electrical outlet. Plus it has a USB port to charge USB devices in any of the 150 countries. (perhaps overkill, but you never know when you may get a chance trip to Italy!)

How much should/can I use my iphone 5 in Europe?

I'm vacationing in Europe next month and will be visiting London, Paris and Rome. I've heard all the stories about people coming home to outragous phone bills. I've also heard some suggestions on how to reduce the possibility of this happening. I'm assuming that all of this still applies to the iPhone 5. I'm under the impression that this phone is considered a "world phone", but I realize that roaming is roaming.
I understand that while I'm out exploring the streets of Europe, I shouldn't be scrolling my Facebook or Instagram feeds or updating apps. I know I should only be doing these things while on wifi. I also plan on bringing my Macbook so I can check emails and upload photos, etc.., again, only while back at the hotel on wifi.
I'm just wondering what if I happen to be out and about and need to use Maps for directions? What if I need to call the hotel for something, or call a business for general information? Can I check yelp to see if a restaurant is any good, or will that cost me more than the meal itself? How about sending and iMessage to check in with a family member back home. If I get seperated from someone I'm traveling with, is it going to cost me an arm and a leg to call them to find out where they are? Will my phone even work?
I know that Verizon has an international calling plan, but I'm not sure if this is for a short term vacationer like myself, or for those that travel frequently.
Any advice will be appreciated!
Thanks
(Verizon is my carrier by the way)

Thanks for asking about your device options while roaming through Switzerland, ellenajnos! The good news is yes, your iPhone 5c will work in that country. The better news is you can also add features to your account to enhance your experience and help you control the costs! Have a look at this great tool to plan your trip: http://vz.to/1k7RFqd

Can iPhone messaging be used for free when in Europe?

Please advise if free iPhone messaging can be used in Europe. It would be handy if we could communicate this way to set up meetings

Yes, but I suggest you also read the attached support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529

Can I use old iPhone 4S in Europe for WiFi, w/o cellular service? A few Qs not found in Support Community-

I wish to upgrade to iPhone 6, but first want to know if I can use my iPhone 4S for camera, iMessaging and apps (i.e. What’s App) on Wifi after it is disconnected from U.S. Verizon network?
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.2 (reluctant to upgrade to 8.1.2), Verizon, U.S. only
Mac Mini, OSX 10.9.5 (reluctant to upgrade to OSX Yosemite)
I’ve read all of the old posts (2011 thru July 2014), but still have questions. This is what I understand:
Upgrade iOS and apps with iTunes, before transferring to new iPhone 6
Change the name of my old iPhone http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201997 (if I wish to name my new iPhone what my old one was called)
Enable airplane mode, then re-enable just wifi
Activate new iPhone
Transfer data to new iPhone http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2109
QUESTIONS:
Q: When connected to WiFi in England, Italy and Sicily - do I keep it in Airplane Mode even though it has been disconnected from Verizon and I will have an active iPhone 6 on my Verizon account being used by my husband at home in the U.S.?
Q: Will there be a problem sync’ing to iTunes in the future, or my Mac Mini? Will it conflict with my new iPhone 6? Or is it just considered a different device, once it has a new name.
Q: How can I message my husband in the U.S. with the iPhone 6 from Europe using my old iPhone 4S on Wifi only? Do I use my iCloud account, like I do from my Mac Mini to my iPhone? Or can I set up a new iMessage account on the old iPhone 4S
I appreciate any insights and answers. Thanks in advance!

It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
To answer your questions,
1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

Using US iphone 4 in Europe

Is there a way to use the camera, apps, Wifi and GPS of the iphone 4 and not have the possibility of receiving text messages and calls while overseas? I do not want to unlock the phone and get sims from other countries. Nor do I want to get international roaming from AT&T.
I've read about airplane mode (haven't gotten my iphone yet) but from what I've read that turns everything off except apps and music. I've also read that you can specifically go in and turn wifi back on. But what about GPS? I'd like to use skype (or something else) for calls and some form of maps (integrated with GPS) while in Europe.
If airplane mode is off and for some reason the phone is turned off or the battery dies, will airplane mode still be on when the phone is turned back on or will I have to remember to turn airplane mode on every time I turn the phone on?

Everything you stated can be done.
After Airplane Mode is enabled, you can turn wi-fi on and I believe Bluetooth for Bluetooth stereo headphones, but you can't turn on GPS or location services.
When Airplane mode is enabled when powering the iPhone off, it will be enabled when powering the iPhone on. I do this when flying. Turn on Airplane mode before powering my iPhone off when instructed before take-off. When powering my iPhone back on when instructed it is OK to do so, Airplane mode is enabled.

What does it take to use an iphone 5 in Europe?

I live in the US and am going to Italy in a few weeks (just for 10 days or so) and I have just purchased an Iphone 5 with a data plan (not interrnational plan). I was told once in Italy it would work if I go under 1. general settings 2. hit roaming on next screem 3. For International CDMA turn on. I understand calls are very expensive once the international roaming is turned and I only plan to 2 or 3 calls of an emergency nature. The phone will be turned off the rest of the time I am in Europe.
So will this work?

To the best of my knowledge, there are no CDMA carriers at all in Europe.
If you have an unlocked iPhone 5 or a Verizon iPhone 5 (the SIM slot is unlocked on the Verizon iPhone 5) you can just pick up a local SIM when you arrive in Italy and put it in the phone. There are companies that sell special plans and SIM cards for travellers that often include data and a U.S. phone number that your friends back home can call and be routed through to you, and some even include free or low cost calling to the U.S.
You can also ask your carrier about what international plans they have available for you to use while travelling.
