You can't used 3G when traveling to another country

I live in Canada but I found a new problem with AT&T when trying to get your 3G working when you travel to the states. You have to sign up with with a US address for the 3G to work. I don't have a US address and credit card too only one from Canada. It's a catch 22. Apple says it's unlocked but you can't used unless you have a US address.
So I would like to know how can you use iPad 3G when you travel to US or any other place in the world.. WiFi yes but why buy a 3G when you can't connect to AT&T. AT&T should make plans for people who travel in the US.

Rogers comes with a Micro Sim card with the iPad.
Once the iPad ships in Canada, I'm sure it will. Have you asked Rogers what their plans are for international travelers with an iPad purchased in the U.S. or in another country when the iPad 3G is available in other countries in regards to purchasing a data plan?
The iPad 3G was just released in the U.S., and it isn't available in other countries yet. Obviously the 3G sold in the U.S. is currently set up to have a data plan with AT&T. In order to have a data plan with AT&T for the iPad at the present time, you need to have a credit card with a U.S. billing address, and the billing address must be in an area where AT&T has coverage. They have coverage in most or many places, but not all. No carrier in the U.S. has 100% coverage over every square mile.
This may change for international travelers, but the iPad 3G was just released in the U.S. on Friday and isn't available in any other countries yet.

  • "you can't use Icloud when multiple versions of outlook is installed. As far as i know I only have 1 version installed. Any ideas

    I have recently loaded Icloud and received the following message
    "You can't use ICloud when multiple versions of Outlook are installed. To use ICloud with outlook uninstall one version" As far as I am aware I only have one version. Is there anyone who had a similar issue and if you did what is the solution?

    You're probably on OS X Lion?
    I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

  • HT1349 How do I find where my multiple copies of Outlook are? (It said  Multiple Outlook versions installed. You can't use iCloud when multiple versions of Outlook are installed.  To use iCloud with outlook, uninstall one version.")

    I have just started with iCloud, and run into a problem from my PC.
    It says: "
    Multiple Outlook versions installed.
    You can't use iCloud when multiple versions of Outlook are
    installed.  To use iCloud with outlook, uninstall one version.
    I have searched and found two versions of Outlook 2013 and 2015  (one of which was inactive, but I have removed it), and one of outlook.pst, which I have removed.
    Where do I go from here?

    That's a Windows/Office problem. You should ask in the Microsoft support forums.

  • Can I use my Samsung Charge in another country ?

    If I replace the LTE card with a SIM card from another country, will it work ??

    Actually, it can be used in many countries - including Japan and China where I travel frequently.  Verizon is partnered with carriers in many countries.  BUT it is only CMDA, and it does not have a GSM SIM for example, so you are locked into using these partners only, and the voice charges are steep (like $1.99 a minute) and data rates ridiculous.
    Because of the high rates, I only use text messaging except for urgent calls, and turn off data.
    Bought an inexpensive GSM phone to use in China - got a number in-county, and it is very inexpensive, even to make international calls.  Use that same phone in the U.S. as a backup (major carrier other than Verizon in the U.S.) (I can recharge the account on-line to ensure the number remains active, even if not using it for months).
    Contact Verizon helpful service at 611 and they will give you straight skinny to answer specific countries and rates.

  • Can I use my Iphone 3Gs in another country?

    Hi,
    I'm got an Iphone 3GS awhile back and I'm planning to visit my home country (Philippines) for a month or so for an extended wedding/birthday of my sister.
    I heard that Apple is connected with Globe Telecoms back in the Philippines. So I was wondering if I could use a Globe simcard for my Iphone while I'm at the country? It's currently locked to ATT. Do I need to go to Globe Telecoms there to be able to use a Globe simcard?
    Any info/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

    The iPhone is carrier locked to AT&T. A locked phone means no other SIM can work in it.
    Now the phone can work out there, however, you have to call AT&T and temporarily add the option about being out of country (forget what they call it). It will cost a tab more to make calls and use data but it is far cheaper than paying roaming charges if you don't add it.
    You are not going to find a way to use the iPhone with any other carrier's SIM (legally).

  • When I use my IPhone 4S to view the Shaw Go Movie Central App when I am at home I only use WiFi which is automatic, I start watching a show and sometimes I will get a message like "you can not use your cellular for video playback" or something close to th

    When I use my IPhone 4S to view the Shaw Go Movie Central App when I am at home I only use WiFi which is automatic, I start watching a show and sometimes I will get a message like "you can not use your cellular for video playback" or something close to that. Then I received an email from Telus saying I had used my 3G instead of Wi-Fi  using 75% of my data. How can this happen when I'm on Wi-Fi at home? If it switched to 3G for some reason I should have been disconnected and not just transferred to 3G network using up my data. What is the fix for this??

    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.

  • My iPhoto icon has a cross over it, when i open it, it You have "iPhoto" 9.2.1. you can't use this with this version of OSX? it used to work ?what's gone wrong?

    my iPhoto icon has a cross over it, when i open it, it You have “iPhoto” 9.2.1. you can't use this with this version of OSX? it used to work ?what's gone wrong?

    iPhoto 9.2.3 is incompatible with MacOS 10.9.3 Mavericks. If you are running Mavericks on your system you need to update iPhoto to 9.5.1. Only, the problem is, that this version is no longer available at the App Store.
    The easiest way to get a compatible iPhoto version in that case would be to upgrade to Yosemite, MacOS X 10.10, and then download the most recent iPhoto version from the AppStore, iiPhoto 9.6, like LarryHN suggested.
    If you cannot download iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.6 post back.

    You can't install Lion over Leopard. To install Lion, a requirement is Snow Leopard. So you can either upgrade to Snow Leopard first or you can make a bootable Lion install disc and use that to wipe your hard drive and install a fresh copy of Lion.
    So to make a disk would require you to purchase Snow Leopard and upgrade to 10.6.8 so you can use the App Store, unless you have access to another computer to download it from with your Apple ID. Remember it is about a 3.4GB download.
    Good Luck

    Back up all data.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use  another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.

    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.

  • When try to view a movie with a external reader it makes a weird noise at time and other times works fine I think I read somewhere theat you can only use thereader that came with your computer

    When I put a movie DVD in my external reader it makes a strange noise and at times it gets hung up I have to force quit it and then I can eject the dvd
    I believe I read some wherre that you can only use the reader that came with my computer

    That sounds like the drive is faulty. CD and DVD will have seperate heads, and burn and read will be different lasers in each. If it's still in warranty I'd exchange it.

    Local Mac shop said to hold down "c" after inserting disk to get "disk utility" to come up in order to wipe hard drive.  I can't seem to get it to do this.

    This W7 was purchased for using Fusion, as others did - per reviews from amazon.  The technician today called their contact at VMWare - Fusion not officially for use with Lion - even though I read at the VMWare support site that others have made it work.  Apparently my setup doesn't work. 
    Do you know how to do the proceedure for bringing up the disk utility when starting the disk?
    BTW, some of the windows applications I want to continue using are Incredimail, Calendarscope, Stamps.com and a few others I have used over many years.  What do you use for email and calendar?
    Wow, sounds like another reason to not use MS Windows.
    Regarding your Disk Utility question, please elablorate I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Disk Utilty is just that...a utility, it's something most users never have to use especially on a new computer. Let me know what you're trying to do there before I give you some instructions.
    As for as your Windows apps I would recommend using Mail and iCal, both come as part of OS X and are very robust tools. Don't discount the software built right into OS X it's very robust and powerful not all like the bloatware most Windows boxes ship with. Stamps.com well I'd look for another alternative. It's clear they don't support OS X which makes me a little suspicious that they're so behind the times. 
    Also if you have not been exposed to these links before I'd strongly recommend bookmarking them and using them. They're extermely useful!

  • When I try to open my Address Book from Finder, it says :You can't use this version with this version of Mac OS x. I have Address Book 5.0.3 and Mac OS X 10.7.5 What should I do to get my Address Book back???

    When I try to open my Address Book from Finder, it says :You can't use this version with this version of Mac OS x. I have Address Book 5.0.3 and Mac OS X 10.7.5 What should I do to get my Address Book back???

    Unless you deleted Address Book 6, or restored from a backup made before you upgraded to Lion, Address Book 6 should be on your disk somewhere.  Try to find it with spotlight or by browsing likely folders with Finder.  Also check Trash. If you find other Address Books, using Quick View or Get Info in Finder should show the version number.
    Have you ever moved Address Book out of the Applications folder, either before or after you upgraded to Lion?
    If you can't figure out how this happened in the first place, I would be worried that other OS X utilities are similarly affected.

    When I try to open iPhoto (9.2.1) it says 'You can't use this version of the application iPhoto with this version of OS X.  All my photos are on there.  Please help.  Thank you.

    Did you upgrade to a new MacOS X version? Then you need to update iPhoto as well.
    Only iPhoto 9.6 is compatible with MacOS X 10.10 Yosemite.  Update from the Mac App Store.
    Backup your iPhoto library, if you do not have a current backup.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
    Check the "Updates" tab of the App Store for an iPhoto update and run the update.
    When you laugh iPhoto after the update, it will warn you, that the library needs upgrading, That may take a while.
    Just in case that you see a warning, that the update is not possible because of an error message: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the Applications folder, but do not empty the Trash, so you can put iPhoto back, if need be.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your current AppleID.
    Open the main page "Featured" of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support to sort out the AppleID. Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
