If i will buy iphone 6 without preference to operator in USA, will it work in Russia?

if i will buy iphone 6 without preference to operator in USA, will it work in Russia?

There currently are no unlocked versions of the iPhone 6 being sold in the US.
Unlocked versions are available in other nations.
Remember that the warranty on an iPhone purchased in the US is valid only in
the US and 4G/LTE probably will not work in your location.
Wait until the iPhone 6 becomes available where you are to avoid these and other
problems.

Will your iPhone work with Straight Talk?

Will your iPhone work with Straight Talk?

In order for your Straight Talk service to work with an iPhone, you would have to Jailbreak your iPhone (Even if it's unlocked) if you use an AT&T based SIM from Straight Talk, or you could use a T-Mobile based SIM from Straight Talk and it would work fine. Straight Talk is an MVNO therefore when the AT&T based SIM is inserted into the iPhone, it defaults to the AT&T profile, and the Cellular Data Settings option does NOT show up. You have to use a T-Mobile based SIM because they have no default profile for the iPhone because they do not carry the device.

Will iBook G4 work without internal HDD?

I have searched, surfed, browsed, read and read... and more regarding my problem with my iBook... it seems I´m almost lost (without having to pay a couple of hundreds euros)...
Basically my iBook started to crash 2 weeks ago. In the beginning I thought it was the old 60Gb HDD... thus I bought a new 160Gb WD and a Firewire enclosure... plugged the new HDD and installed Mac OS X... then followed the ifixit instructions and replaced the old HDD for the new one. First boot went excellent! But...
Because there is always at least one BUT... the new HDD started to crash... same as the old one did... I got the intermitent forder / ? sign and the like... and worse the old 60Gb is running through the firewire case!!! I can boot and everything...
This only meant either the HDD orange ribbon is broken or the IDE Controller from the mainboard... my gutts tell me is the chip... (when pressing it, it works... and have tried out the "shim-thing" suggested somewhere on the net without any success)... nonetheless I ordered a new ribbon...
So the question: Can I remove the 160Gb and NOT install the old 60Gb... just leave it "empty", and still manage to use my iBook through the firewire connection with either of the HDD?
Thanks in advance

Richard... many thanks... trust me when I say that before posting I´ve been around a lot, including big part of the Discussions here... your thread was helpfull over the weekend when I tried it out, although with the ifix disassembly method... I tried just disassembling and reamsseblying verifying every connection and screw... then special focus on the orange ribbon (plus the previous)... and so on till the "shim" variation... it is clear that applying pressure which gave me some results...
Thus, discarding possibilities it is all down to the chip (described here http://www.coreyarnold.org/ibook/)... I do have a couple of friends with soldering skills and the corresponding equipment... I try to get them to doing what is described here: http://macintoshhowto.com/hardware/how-do-i-get-my-broken-g4-ibook-fixed.html
Nonetheless, will try out the orange connector exchange and see what happens, as I have already ordered it...
Yet, my question still holds: will the iBook work without an internal HDD and a firewire bootable HDD (external)?
Of course, I will let you know any news / update on what happens... It is a REAL SHAME, AS I LOVE MY iBOOK...

Will my iphone 5 still work if I unregister it with Apple and will iMessage still work without it being registered?

Can anyone out there help me. If I unregister my iphone 5 will it still work and will it still be able to receive and send iMessages? Will this mess up iTunes?

If you turn off iMessage, then you can't send or receive iMessages... in case that wasn't apparent.
The problem is the android users who did not turn off iMessage on their iPhones before they switched to something else. They need to fix that. If they don't, then your only option is to turn off iMessage or forcibly send the messages as SMS messages.

WiFi work without service?

I was wondering, will WiFi work without the AT&T service, or would I not be able to do anything with the iPhone?

A phone that was never activated will not work at all.
If you activate the phone and subsequently cancel your AT&T service, you can use the phone like an iPod Touch, including WiFi, so long as you keep the SIM card that it was previously activated with.

Iphone 4 without service after IOS 5.1

I am without service after IOS 5.1. Since the upgrade, my phone can't make or receive any call. I bought it from my mobile operator (Claro Brasil) itself. The odd thing is that when I use the SIM of my brother (from another provider - TIM) the phone works perfectly. Please, can someone give me any advice. I called to Claro and they said everything is fine with my network and that they will open a procedure to see what can be done. I think they don't know what is happening and I can't wait much longer.
Thank you in advance.
Luis
Brazil

Yes, I tried to restore it as new. Actually, 2 times, with and without backup. Today I will try to get a new SIM. Hopefully, that will solve my problem, but I am a bit skeptical as my SIM was working ok before the update.
Thank you very much for your help.

Will my iphone work in france

I will be in Paris and the south of France. Will my iPhone 4s work - do I need an adaptor??

Hello richjags.
We definitely want to make sure your son is able to use his phone. Do you know if he has the iphone 4 or 4S? If he has the iPhone 4, this would not be a global device, but would be able to be used via WiFi. If he has the 4S, we can activate his preinstalled global SIM card on your account so he can use his phone in France. For rates and informantion, you can use our trip planner here: http://bit.ly/1chSdQu

Will cs6 programs work without creative cloud?

Hi. I installed the master collection from a cs6 set of discs I purchased before creative cloud became big. If I'm not on creative cloud, like I don't get a subscription, can I still use these programs? or will they stop working?

CS6 is set up to be the version to which you can fall back if you decide you don't want a cloud subscription. They should work for as long as you need.
Cheers,
Jeff

Can an iPhone work without a data plan, like an iPod?

If I purchase a new iPhone 4S, I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my daughter to use as an iPod touch. Will it work the same as an iPod touch just without a data plan, not being used as a cellphone, just an electronic device?

Being already activated, the old iPhone 4 should still work as an iPod even if the data and cell plan are cancelled. If it deactivates for some reason, you'll need a valid SIM to reactivate, though you still shouldn't need a cell plan. You can ask for confirmation in the iPhone forum, just in case I'm missing some recent change or detail.
Regards.

Email work without service?

i have so many dropped calls that i am going to have to switch back to verizon. however, i love my contacts, calendar, and email. if i keep using my iphone as an ipod/contacts/calendar device, will my email still work, even though my service will be cancelled??
any help greatly appreciated.

If the iPhone has been previously activated, as yours has been, then simply removing the SIM card will leave you with effectively an iPod Touch with a camera. As you will still have Wi-Fi, you will be able to access the internet and check your email, whenever you are in a Wi-Fi hotspot, or if you have a wireless connection at home. So, all in all, no problems for you.

Will an iPhone work?

Hi,
I have to sign up for a new cell phone contract in about a month. I am an American and I live in Germany. We do not know how much longer we will be living in Germany, but for now at least until next January. T-Mobile has an iPhone promotion going on. Since I have to sign up for a new contract I thought I might change phones. I would like to get an new iPhone. My concern is I want to use the iPhone I bought in Germany in the U.S. when I move back but not have to use the German service provider. I would like to deactivate the German service and sign up with a U.S. iPhone service provider, but be able to keep the same phone I bought in Germany. I do not want to have to buy a new iPhone.
Is this possible?
Thanks

You will need to buy a new phone when you come back to the US. The German iPhone is carrier locked to T-Mobile and the US iPhone is carrier locked to ATT.

Will the iPad work WITHOUT first connecting to iTunes?

I picked up an iPad last week but I failed to realize that it wouldn't work with my current 10.4.11 version of OSX (G5 iMac - non intel) ... yes, I know, bonehead move.
While I"m searching for OSX 10.5, is it still possible to use the iPad without going through iTunes? I turned the iPad on but the iTunes connection illustration came up and I can't seem to bypass this component. If I connect it to the iMac a pop up window appears stating that it won't work with the current OS ... any suggestions or do I simply have to wait until I upgrade the OS?
Thanks.
Brent

You are posting a problem that has extremely few documented cases, and specifically to you. This is not affecting 99% of the iPads out there, that is not a valid reason to say it is a fact. I have had my ipad since day one and not had an issue such as you are having. So have countless other people on these forums. Yes, you have an issue with YOUR iPad. This does not mean that it will happen to everyone else to the fact that they need to be informed falsely.
The primary objective of these discussions are to educate and inform user on how to fix problems they are having. Yesterday I learned something new about finder while I was helping them with an issue with the dock. Educating and informing does not mean posting about specific case issues as if they were wide-spread when based on the posts they are not.
