How do I know why it says my phone is blocked?
I am on holidays in Uruguay with my two iPhones. One it has the sim card from Europe working fine. The iPhone 4s, I'd like to put a local sim card and it tells me to contact my server as the phone is blocked. I bought the phone in the beleive it wasn't blocked. So the two obvious questions are:
1- How do I know if my phone is really blocked or it is a problem here?
2- If it is blocked, how do I unblock it to be able to use it here.
3-I have sent many requests to Apple with its serial number and I have received only one answer saying that the phone serial number was inactive ... what does that mean?
4- Then I tried to call and I couldn't get passed the payment as it wouldn't accept my foreign mobile number.
Help! I am feeling very inadequate today!
Thank you Ralph9430.
I bought it from a carrier which not only assured me it was unlocked but it is against European regulations to sell blocked phones in that country. Furthermore, I have put sims from other European countries in it, so, I am very confused. Also, I bought from them the iPhone 5 in which I put my sim card ... I wonder now if that one would also be blocked. Unfortunately, as I am on holidays I cannot check the papers. Is there anyway I could find out before contacting them if my phones are blocked or not?

Yep, it does matter. You won't be able to update or get anything until this is fixed. Contact iTunes support to see what's wrong:

How can I know if a used mobile phone is stolen?
Hello everybody!
I am about to buy a used Nokia cell phone. The problem is that I want to be sure that the original owner of the phone hasn't stole that product. Simply because I don't want to buy a stolen phone.
So, my question is; is there any database or any way that will allow me to check if this cell phone is stolen or regulary bought.
Thanks for anyone that can help!15-Oct-200709:31 PM

As I said, it depends on the country.
In the UK there is an online database of stolen mobiles serial numbers, not sure about elsewhere.
Nice option, will be glad if it starts in other countries like ours. -

Also... Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On... -

Just want to know why Apple have not made an options menu to remove duplicate photos in iPhoto? I know about downloads you can purchase to delete Dups, but I'm very interested to find out from apple themselves as to why they left this out, to die without knowing this is like having viruses on a pc or waiting for the web page to pop up on windows...
Option
A. Is it to annoy the user, to frustrate them enough to go out there and buy another apple photo product?
Or
B. Is it to annoy the user, to frustrate them enough to commit suicide, to reduce population in the world?
Is there a third reason? Can someone help me, otherwise I'll have to go with option B.sunshinecowgill wrote:
We have three operational computers, one does not have iTunes on it. Since Apple is saying I have more than 5 authorized computers, and I can't imagine what they are, I am afraid to deauthorize all my computers. See what I mean? I just wanted to ask the question about how I can find out WHICH computers Apple thinks I have authorized, so I can decide if it's safe to deauthorize them all or not.
You could have more 5 computers authorized if you ever, for example, reformatted a hard drive or replaced a hard drive without deauthorizing the computer first. Apple's system would see that as a different computer, even though you don't. There's nothing to be afraid of in deauthorizing everything and the reauthorizing what you actually have. You won't lose any data. Mistimp is correct, they can't tell you which computers are authorized. -
I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!
Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

I've lost a load of notes, but dont know why or how to get them back. I cant find the folder that is in my Yahoo account that people have suggested might be the location for the messages. I recently signed into iCloud for the first time. Any idea how to get the notes back? I really dont want to lose them.
It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes) -
