I bought my iPhone from apple, had ATT, then changed to Verizon. Shouldn't I be able to unlock it from Verizon and use the same phone on an ATT account?
i bought my iphone 4S from apple while i had an att account, then changed to verizon with the same phone.
verizon said they unlocked the phone from their network so i could return to att, but the iphone 4S won't recognize the att sim card.
is there anything i can do to use this apple store phone purchase and return to an att network?
Thank you.
I'm a little muddy tho...it's not a verizon phone,
not bought from or through Verizon, but at the Apple store.
Does that make any differerence?
On the original box, it says that it supports CDMS & GSM
I spoke with Verizon this morning.
They re-activated the phone to the verizon account,
unlocked it, and released it.
Should this make any difference at all?
My thinking to purchase the iphone through Apple
was not to dedicate it to either ATT or Verizon network.

I bought an iPhone from someone and there iCloud account is still on the device. I would like to know how to skip this step or add my own. I have never had an iPhon before so I have no idea what I am doing. Can someone please help me????
Only the previous owner can help you. They either need to provide you with the ID and password to delete the existing account, or erase the device and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515. If they aren't willing to do that, return it and ask for your money back.

I have always had and used the same Apple ID. I have changed credit card information on my Apple ID account several times though. Does that make a difference when downloading past purchases? I'm very angry at Apple and Itunes because I have been using itunes since 05/2005 and I do not have even close to the amount of songs and albums that I have purchased from itunes. If the credit card info does make a difference even though the account is the same one then itunes needs to make sure to notify users of this because I am not the only one who is wondering this same thing. I have numerous friends who i've talked to about this and they say the same thing, that they too have songs purchased in the past that have disappeared when trying to download past purchased items. It should not make a difference. $12 is $12. Especially since I have ALWAYS used the same account. If itunes does not change their ways, I will not be purchasing songs or anything else for that matter from them ever again. I will go back to buying CDs where I KNOW that it will always be with me and I don't have to deal with this. I will also make sure to find a better more reliable source to download music from and will make sure everyone I know and come in contact with knows what it is and how much better it is than itunes. There should be no experation date on the music I PURCHASE, nor should there be any other little loop holes that allow itunes to rob us of rightfully purchased products. What's the deal itunes??

There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that. You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
Unlikely. But nothing is impossible. Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important. -

I bought an iPhone from Ebay and it did not turn on so I looked on WinSCP and it said there was NO files PLEASE can someone send me iPhone 4 files!
No, no one can do that. You need to try restoring it:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
* If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -

Hi! I bought my iPhone from USA and the power button doesn't work. I have warranty. I will come to UK soon. I wanna learn; can i benefit my warranty in UK?
The warranty is not and has never been International. Warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin. The only exception is for devices sold in the EU where the EU is treated as one country for warranty and support purposes.

I bought an iPhone from etisalat and there is no FaceTime, how do I reinstall it?
You may try 3rd party softwares like Viber or Skype which support video calling both over WIFI and on 3G, unlike FT calling which can only be done over WIFI.
And if the FT feature is so important for you, you can sell this phone and buy a factory unlocked iPhone of a country where FT is not blocked by law. (Avoid Model #s ending with AE & AB). -
i bought my iphone from jordan and it was locked to orange jordan, now i am living at UAE how can run my phone here ?
Only Orange Jordan can unlock this phone for you, provided that they offer this service. You can't use UAE SIM in this phone or it will get locked.
If Orange Jordan doesn't offer unlocking, then your best shot is to sell your phone in Jordan and buy a new one from UAE. -

Hi I bought an iPhone from uk and now I'm in Cyprus and it's lock, what can I do?
Hi I bought an iPhone from uk and now I'm in Cyprus and it's lock, what can I do?
Contact the carrier in the UK that the phone is locked to and put in an unlock request.
This is the only thing that you can do and the carrier to which the phone is locked to are the only ones that can unlock the phone for you - nobody else can.
Contact the UK carrier. -
