Re: Using UK Apple devices in the USA

You won't be able to use the US app store until you signup with a US credit card. There were some quirky things with regards to regions on my iPad, when I used to own one.

You will have to get used to switching between UK and US keyboards.

I don't know if you can moved your existing app store account from the UK to US.

you can - I moved my iTunes account from the UK to the US and back to the UK again by registering my new address and country specific credit card.

I am an Apple FanGirl - I don't need to know 'how' my tech works just that it does. We are a 2 macbook, 4 ipad, 3 iphone, 2 apple tv family. I'm usually one generation behind everyone as I get The Dudes hand me downs when he upgrades but I just bought myself an iphone 7plus in Rose Gold and I'm as happy as a pig in the proverbial :p

Yup - we have an orchard here too :lol:

Top loaders? I didn't know they existed anymore? :eek:

Hope you do a better job than the so-called "apple engineer" I had on site here last week.

Cretin. (Him, not you).

Mr Jazz will have to come in here and defend himself.

And I would concur. Terminal jazz music and automatic car preferences - one wonders how we ever stay together :unsure:
And the cars can't be sporty either...booooring!

Good point. If he likes jazz, I imagine he is too arthritic to do much house work. :lol:

Or some such similar excuse.

Actually, that's unfair. He does wash and iron his shirts - he doesn't trust me with those. The same as he doesn't trust me around his turntable. So I just plug my iTunes into his music centre ....er rack, I mean :hehe: and upset him another way.

Re: Using UK Apple devices in the USA

Im pretty sure that if you move from one app store to another, whileit all works, you lose the apps you paid for in the old country. Not normally a big cost issue, but i seem to recall this happened to me. For the record, apple devices are imho just so much friendlier than android and microsoft os's. They just work seamlessly. The only addition is - if you are serious about word processing or spreadsheets, accept no substitute, microsoft office 365 is it...
