    ipad registration problem.

    I've just brought an ipad and the guy set it up in the shop registering it to Thailand.
    Now I want to change it to the UK because of my billing address for my card but every time I put my Uk post code in it won't recognize it.
    I tried to set up a new A/C under a different email but still the same.

    Anyone know whats happening and what to do?

    Cheers.





    should have brought an android...

    Try changing the regional settings under settings>general>Regional

    Set to UK and try again... I have the same thing with the MacBook.

    ^Good question.

    If possible I wouldn't put credit card info....People can get you're login details and use them on the appstore.... Happened to my friend not long ago....Apple will always look into it and refund you.... But an iTunes gift card is a much safer way to go.

    I'm new to this stuff.
    I asked in the ishop and somchai told me that it was cheaper to do it on line than to use the cards. The cards was the way I was going to do it.
    sabaii how did you do that?

    I may still have ago with my credit card.

    I want to keep this toy ligit

    non-sense,
    And your an apple genius, Butters?

    I used to be anti apple fanboy just like you.

    Then I bought an iPhone, leaving aside the fact that Apples hardware is hands down engineered superiorly... The android market is complete trash in comparison to the app store. If you think otherwise you are surely high on ya ba.

    In terms of method if payment on AppStore I can say confidently with experience that an AppStore/iTunes gift card is far safer and just as effective, And no using an apple gift card is NOT more costly than using your CC.

    It takes a somchai nothing more than your apple I'd and password to charge thousands to your account, this information can be obtained by "spearing" as well as "fishing".

    You can indeed create an apple ID with no CC info.. However you need either CC account info or account credit (via gift card) to make purchases.

    Regarding the issue at hand,, AppStore not accepting your billing address is either because it wasn't entered EXACTLY as it is on record, or it's a regional issue.

    Best way to fix this is contact apple, and ignore butters.

    The day that android is worth half a fok as much as apples products I'll be there to buy an android device. I'm not a fan of apples arrogant monopoly type attitude... That however doesn't change the fact that the products they offer are vastly superior.. Tie devices, content and overall service apple provides is untouchable by android at this point.... And I don't see that changing anytime soon.

    go to Applestore and create an id, they will ask which "country" to associate with that id

    then go to AppleStore Settings on the gayPad and logout and re-log using the new id,

    wait for the usual non-sense from apple with a dozen page opening and agreement to "accept", and you are done

    How does this help? His device won't accept a UK address when trying to input CC info.... So creating a new acct. Or using a different acct. Will just lead to the same issue when he try's to add his CC info.

    In my experience not entering the address exactly as it is listed in the system ( and even if you know your address, do you know what is supposed to be capitalized,abbreviated etc?) or how you wrote the info years ago on a CC application?

    Forget that it could be the way the address is entered. What else do you suggest is stopping the OP from adding his CC info? Because afaik it's either that or a regional code issue.

    It would probably make a nice tea tray, then people will be convinced you are a raving homosexual like Butters.

    because he is registered as a Thailand apple store, if he wants to have a UK address for the apple store, all he has to do is create an id for the "UK" apple store

    that's what I did with a US and French apple store and it works perfectly,

    he won't have the same issue since the id will be associated with the "UK" apple store

    you have to think of the apple store as separate "Intellectual Property" store each with different selection for different countries. For example, some apps in the US store are not available in the "French" store.

    hope it's all clear now,

    I wouldn't be so sure about that. It's not because you are handicapped when it comes to using a tablet or a smartphone that it means it's not working, just simply you are not working properly.

    ^your right pizzas shite.

    Right..managed to freeze the thing up so took it back where somchai showed me how to start the cvnt up again so while I was there I did what bollockfly said and asked him to fire up a UK reg.
    I would have greened you for the info cvntfly but you redded me n the next thing will be On Nut beer garden at dawn for that.

    Now I can get a lot more apps, err ones I want.

    Anyway being a Luddite it won't be long before I'll be on this part of the forum again.




    New phone this month....now what to get?
