Of course it works. You just have to restore it and format iTunes according to the place you're in.

I bought my ipod while I was in Taiwan and am currently using it here in the US with no problems. The software (Itunes) is the same in all countries. The only difference I found is that the back of the ipod's inscription is in a different language. The charger is a world charger so it will work with all the different types if you get the head changed to the country's type.

yes yes yes

i would assume all iPods are made by apple which are produced in California, so they should work hope that helps

my boyfriend wants to work abroad

my boyfriend wants to work abroad...?
we've been together for more than an year. I love him and he loves me back, I don't doubt that. but his dream has always been to work outside the country, I knew that. I just never thought he would start doing that so soon. when spring time is over, he plans to go work in Greece for 3 months. now, I know you'll say 3 months is not that much, especially if we love each other, but I'm not the type of person that would be comfortable with seeing my boyfriend once a month or so, even if it's just for a summer. I'd just miss him too much, so I really couldn't have a relationship with him being away. I can't go with him either, due to some health problems and my family condition. and I really can't tell him not to go, either. this has always been his dream, I can't take it away from him. I see no other option than splitting up, as painfully as that may be. he said he'll try to think of something, to work abroad, but also be with me, but I see no way that could happen. please, feel free to contradict me. any piece of advise? I'd really need some I'm sorry, but I just can't do it, no matter how much I'd love him. 3 months without a kiss or a hug? I can't do it and I don't wanna do it. I'm 20.

Please PLEASE whatever you do, don't split up! IF you really do love each other like you say then that would be the worst thing to do. What you really need to ask yourself is whether or not you can resist temptation and also whether or not he can. If you both know that you will no way, no how cheat on each other no matter what, then stay together. 3 months is kind of a long time when you are used to seeing each other a lot but if you really love each other, trust each other, and support one another then let him follow his dream for the 3 months. He will be back before you know it and you will be so excited to see him when he does get back and you'll appreciate the time you get to spend with him. Just be supportive and love each other. That is all you need

I've lived overseas in the middle east for a year and a half, and i plan to come back when i finish this year. I've had a long distance relationship with my boyfriend for a year and a half (he lives in the states). I cannot begin to tell you how much you will appreciate your relationship. If you love him enough, you should stay with him. I see my boyfriend every 6 months. i wish i was only apart from him for 3 months! Take my advice, you are so lucky that it's just that short amount of time. 3 months will pass by in no time, if you want to contact him with absolutely no cost, download "Skype" on your computer. I use it all the time. I'm 18.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!! I've been apart from my ex-bf for 1.5 years and we managed to make it work. He want to bootcamp for 2months and the only way we communicated is by writing letters to each other. 3 months is not that long. Go for it! If you really love him you won't give him up because of that. Please answer mine too. :( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ajau1M0WOMWR45GcgZupasfsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20081003045641AAje60S

it seems difficult dear.. but its worth it.. he shall love you more for keeping aside your pain and working for his happiness.. you too shall feel good abt yourself.. you''l feel good and happier giving..

i live in Greece and didn't get accepted in the university i wanted. can i study in America

i live in Greece and didn't get accepted in the university i wanted. can i study in America?
the Greek system sucks. i think we all know that. i studied like i had no other life this year and i had problems with my boyfriend and my family because of my dedication. i scored 20400 points, which is VERY high, considering that out of the 80000 students who i was coming up against this year only the 50000 scored over 10000. i wanted to study architecture and it was 21000. so of course i failed. i am a Greek and Australian citizen but i want to study in America. is that possible? i have no green card or relative there, except for an uncle who is Greek and lives in Florida. can i study there and then return to work in Greece? will the degree be valid in Greece after that? what do i have to do to study in the USA? thank you.

Research the schools you are interested in attending based on what you'd like to major in. Each school will have different procedures for international students. It's very likely that you'll be able to find a school to attend since there are so many in the US. Once you are accepted into the school, you will receive documents which you will then take to the US Embassy in Greece, and they will issue you a work visa. Yes, your degree will be valid pretty much anywhere. US Universities have good reputations worldwide.

You Probably can, you need a plane ticket first. The airlines you want to pick are Alaska airlines or American airlines. It depends where you want to land for the cost. Probably $440 or $550 but I would look it up just to make sure! And you probably study the same things as we do here.

The US university system is the most prestigious, and often considered the best in the world. It's actually quite possible that more countries would accept your bachelors degree if you got it from a US university than if you got it from one in Greece. The issue is that you want to study architecture. Each country has rules for who can qualify to work as an architect, and so you must look into what the rules are for Greece, and determine if a degree from a US university will be acceptable. To study in the US, you first must take the SAT exam, which is offered in Greece. You can register for the exam, and get practice materials, at www.collegeboard.com. You'll need to find a university or college whose bachelors degree in architecture is accredited by NAAB. Here is a list: http://www.naab.org/architecture_programs/ There are a lot of undergraduate architecuture programs in the US, but if it's not NAAB accredited, you'd need to go on for a masters degree in order to practice as an architect. So only consider programs that are NAAB accredited. You will need to get a student visa in order to study in the US, but the universities you apply to can help you through that process. You do not need a green card to study in the US. You will need to be able to pay for your degree. I understand that university in Greece is free, or very low cost in comparison to the US, so be aware of that. Do speak to each US university about scholarships and other forms of financial aid that may apply to international students. Some of them offer them, but some of them do not.
7 :
Every US college and university has its own procedure, but here's basically what you need to do: 1) Complete an application (you can often find this at the colleges' website). More information: http://www.universitylanguage.com/guides/how-to-fill-out-a-college-or-us-universit-application/ 2) Take standardized tests, such as the ACT or SAT. These are offered around the world. More information: http://www.universitylanguage.com/guides/SAT-vs-ACT-Testing-for-College/ 3) If English isn't your native language, you may have to take the TOEFL.

Questions about ancient greece! Please help

Questions about ancient greece! Please help~?
What tyrants in (ancient) Greece worked for democratic reforms? Why was public debate important to Greek democracy? THANKS[:

I am Greek so this qualifies me elgible to answer this. Tyrants in ancient Greece did not work for democratic reforms, they took advantage of the people like a dictator. The public debate was important to Greek democracy because at that time Greece was a Direct Democracy, meaning all people vote on every issue. It was important because their democracy controlled their government and society.
2 :
Tyrants at first had a meaning very similar to "kings". Some of them were benign rulers under whose authority their people flourished and some of them were closer to the term dictator as we mean it today. One of the most famous tyrants was Pisistratus of Athens. During his time Athens gathered power and was responsible for creating the infrastructure that helped Athens fight the Persians in Marathon a few years after his death. Public debate was the only form of democracy in the ancient times. All the major decisions had to be a result of referendum. The idea of representation of political fractions wasn't concidered due to the structure of the city state. It was relatively easy for the citizens to gather in one place and vote. Today something like that would be impossible to do on a regular bases.
