Can I transfer data from a dead English (made in USA) laptop to a new Japanese (made in Japan) Laptop?
I have a dead laptop that I want to transfer the data from. I have another laptop that I can transfer the data to. Problem is, the dead laptop was built in the USA (meaning, it's operating system is in English) but the only available laptop that I can transfer the data to is a laptop that was made in Japan (meaning the operating system is Japanese, etc). Now, my question is: Is it still possible to transfer the data from the dead laptop into the new Japanese laptop? Or would the different language operating system cause a problem? And if it's possible, how? What would work best? What do I need to buy? Thanks!

Answer 1 :
A caddy, or external hard drive enclosure does the trick & is pretty cheap too, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817145082 just pull out the hard drive from the old dead laptop & slide it into the caddy ^ & connect to usb port of your new laptop

Answer 1 :
The best is, if you have a friend or relative going from USA or UAE, you better grab the oppurtunity to ask her to carry it for you. 2nd is by sea freight.. if it not urgent and your recepient can afford to wait for at least 45 days, then go for it. 3rd will be by airfreight if it is very much in urgency.. but this will cost you much, maybe a hundred dollar or more.. It will only 5 to 7 days to reach the destination. By DHL or FEDEX will be the 2 best freighting companies. By the way, i suggest that you should ask the recepient to buy the laptop in uae. just give the specification and send money thru remittance. Im sure whatever the brand and specs of that laptop, it will be available in UAE
Answer 2 :
I am an International customer of online shopping and I use a parcel forwarder. I set up a US address with a package forwarding company for your international shipping. I've used a company called Bongo International for a almost a year now- you set up a US postal address on their site, they receive your items from Old Navy and Best Buy, etc. and put it all in one box if needed.(This saves $ on shipping.) Then they ship it overseas to you. You can track on their website the whole way, great website technology. I like this option because then you never have to worry about shipping problems, you can buy online from anywhere and the rates are very fair. Here is the link to rates, transit times, etc for UAE: http://www.bongous.com/country-information/us-to-united%20arab%20emirates.php Hope this helps. Good luck!
Answer 3 :
cheapest are ARAMEX & USPS/Empost then UPS & TNT then DHL & FEDEX (more expensive but more reliable) ARAMEX & Empost have similar service to what Tara B has described so you can order stuff from online sent to US address then they forward it to UAE by air. There is a set up charge but after that you get charged per KG. Service is called Shop & Ship I think. http://www.aramex.com/shoppingServices/default.aspx http://www.empostuae.com of course if the online retailer ships internationally then you do not need this kind of service. Or if you ship it yourself at their branch or office.

Answer 1 :
no problem they are very very common now
Answer 2 :
they shouldn't ask him anything because my dad lives in a foreign country and they didn't ask him anything when he brought his laptop
Answer 3 :
Should be no problem. I have travelled into and out of the USA with a laptop dozens of times and there were never any questions about it. There are some export restrictions on very high end technology, but they don't apply to ordinary laptops - much less to laptops purchased abroad.
Answer 4 :
My dad has had no trouble with that before. You could have a laptop for many reasons. To catch up on work, keep iin touch with family, etc.
Answer 5 :
If they think it's brand new, they may ask you about it. But if it's clearly not brand new, you're fine.
Answer 6 :
i took my to new zealand and i'm taking my to usa in august
