Why can we not pre-order the Iphone 4 due to tech problems? The US seams ok

I have been trying to pre-Oreder the new Iphone and I have had no joy. For over an hour now the uk web page has had problems.
I do not think is fair how other webpages on other countries like the US have no problem on making orders but the uk for some reason can not make any orders yet! Convenience?
I can not even make it over the phone, why?
I feel like the US is getting priority on this like the Ipad, although we are meant to be able to pre order on the same day.
If you are not able to pre-order in a certain country, no one should be able to pre-order elsewhere. I am not happy the way this is being done, I understand Apple has technical problems, so stop pre orders deal with it and then start again.
Like everybody who wants an Iphone 4 I can not waist all day trying to acces the website as I have work to do.
But I also do not want to come to pre-order and havbing to wait longer than the 24th June becouse too many people have been ordering this while the uk site has been down.

Thanks I did take notice but I also know that orders were made even though.
I guess you just have to keep trying.
I was able to order the bumpers for it about 45 min ago and now I have order the Iphone 4, but I still have friends that have not been able to order.
Just need to keep trying till is fix! I'm ok now which is the most important.
I know is hard and they will be overloaded but should be coping, i thought they coped very well with the Ipad!
Anyway thanks for reading my moaning!

  • Why can I not pre order the iPhone 6 with us cellular?

    Yuo can pre-order the iPhone 6 for a coupe carries but not US cellular (which is my carrier). Just wondering why that is.

    Preorders are not live yet.
    Us cellular is not a major carrier and will not be sold by Apple.
    You will have to go through the carrier to get one, when they carry it.

  • Why can I not restart or shut down my imac without using the power button?

    why can I not restart or shut down my imac without using the power button?

    Reset the SMC and then try a restart or shutdown from the drop down menus.

    Then if that doesn't work, backup because you have an OS X issue that will require either a repair or reinstall.

  • Why can i not close a tab after i have 2 showing the only why 2 leave that site is 2 exit all tabs and restart firefox

    why can i not close a tab i have 2 close all tabs and restart firefox then selet browse this is verry anoying

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • WHY are they launching pre-order for a high demand phone and the customer service is CLOSED!!!

    i made a spelling error in my address for my billing and shipping info (you know how streets have like Lane or Circle..well i live on a (street name) Run..and i spelled it Rn (forgot the U) and im afraid if i dont get it takin care of that they would dismiss my order for wrongful information...HELP!!!!!

    Hello jporter313-
    With Grand Theft Auto 5 potentially being the biggest game of the year, I can understand your frustration at not being able to place a pre-order online.
    When we state that “We are not able to verify your information” on your order, that generally means that there is some piece of information on your order that is not matching up correctly.  This can be something as simple as a spelling issue, and address that is not recognized as being deliverable or possibly that the billing information on your credit card doesn’t match what is on your BestBuy.com account.
    I would recommend reviewing that information and make any adjustments necessary, including trying a different credit card if necessary.  If that doesn’t work, the only other option I would be able to offer would be to pre-order your copy at your local Best Buy store. 
    You can also review the Conditions of Use for BestBuy.com here.
    I apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused you.

  • Why can I not receive calls on iPhone 6 ?

    I have just got my new iPhone  6 and cannot receive calls. They go straight to voicemail. I don not even receive the voicemail not receiving. called verizon and they can call me back but when i tried on another phone and Skype it @didn't work>

        Julz11111,
    Hearing that your calls aren't going through is very worriesome and we want to help. Lets check something out. Please turn off Advanced Calling by going to Settings>Cellular>Enable LTE and then place the check mark next to Data Only. After that please turn the phone off, remove the SIM for 30 seconds, put the SIM back in, and turn the phone on. Let us know if that resolves this issue and kicks your calls into working for you.

  • How can I buy pre-order unlocked iphone from UK

    I want to buy iphone 5 unlcoked n I heard that I have to pre-order I know somone who lives there I just have some questions.
    How long does it take u to get one ??
    How to pre-order?
    Thank u ...

    To buy/preorder an iPhone one needs to have a valid address and credit card issued in that country.
    For UK http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone5
    Currently dispatch is 2-3 weeks.
    If you do not live in UK or do not have an address and British credit card however, want an iPhone from this country, you have to ask your friend to buy it for you using his/her credit card and address.

  • Why can I not connect to my MAC from a PC on the same network

    I have a correctly formatted external HD mounted on my MacBook Air (Mac OSX version 10. 7. 5. Lion) and can access it without problems from my MacBook Pro, but when I am trying to access it from a PC (both Windows XP and Windows 7) the PC can "see" my MacBook Air on the network, but cannot connect to it - the PC connect window continues to ask for the password, even I am sure I am writing the correct password

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • HT201364 Why can Maverick not be installed on my computer when I meet the system requirements?

    I got my iMac in July 2007, which I believe is mid-2007, I am currently running v.10.6.8, have 2 GB memory and over 100 GB of available space. This to me meets the system requirements, so why do I get the "cannot be installed on this computer" message when I try to upgrade to Maverick?

    Something does not match up.  Check your year of manufacture.
    To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory
    8 GB or more of available space

  • HT2736 Why can I not GIFT apps using my current iTunes balance???

    Why can I not GIFT apps using my current iTunes balance???  It allows you to pay using credit card, paypal, or a new iTunes card, but why can we not gift apps and songs to each other using the current balance we have on our accounts from previous iTunes gift card purchases etc.?
    Either I am missing something very obvious here, or Apple's greedy stance on gifting is actually creating less usage of the feature, because I for one would not think twice about purchasing gifts for people with a current balance that is already accounted for, but when it comes to adding money or using a card, it just feels like a new payment, and a bigger monetary burden.
    Please let me know how to do this if it is possible, and if it is not, then PLEASE FIX ?

    I agree with some points that is how it works. Because apple do things they want....
    It's quite nice that way being so unique and remarkable. However it is so inconvenient for users who sometimes just want to gift things without a credit card or such whatever.  Because sometimes it's meaningless to have balance when you aren't able to spend it.
    The point is made. Many are not happy with it but that's life. Just take it or leave it...

  • Why can I not watch baskettball on watch espn mobile

    Why can I not watch espn mobile on my ipad2

    You are using the app from the store, correct?  Read the description in the store, the app only works with certain providers, which are listed in the description.    As always, it's all about money and license agreements.

  • Why can I not use my PS CS6??

    All of a sudden today 14 Feb 15, when I try to use CS6 Photoshop, which I have owned and use for years, PS starts to come up, then deletes itself and Adobe Application Manage blocks me.
    It wants me to sign up for Creative Cloud and pay! Of course I get a 30 day "free" trial and the pop up says I can continue to use CS6 after the trial if I sign up and pay for Creative Suite? I don't want Creative Suite, I want to continue to use CS6, Photoshop and all the other Adobe applications for which I paid BIG BUCKS! What is going on? How can I get PS CS6 to work as it has for many years?
    Thanks, Rus

    gener7,
    Thanks for your concern. I addressed (fixed? worked around?) the problem
    by pulling the original CS6 install DVD. I un-installed CS6 from my
    MacBook, then re-installed (providing my product s/n of course) then
    suffering though the interminable Adobe update. After many hours of this
    recovery, all seems fine (at least for now).
