I got a Sim Free 64GB Iphone 5 from Carphonewarehouse in UK n gifted the same to my Bro in law in India. He inserted the nano sim and can see the carrier and 3G symbol but the phone asks for activation. Its a SIM FREE phone, why cant he use it?
Hi,
Please help me with this as the phone is currently lying as a dead paperwieght with my brother in law. The phone, even though bought as SIM FREE, keeps asking for ACTIVATION!!!
Does it mean that I need to activate it with a SIM of one of the carriers that offers a contract and then I am free to use it with any SIM anywhere in the world?
Please assist in as much detail as you can.
Thanks.
Hi FelipeV,
Thanks, tried that.. half their numbers keep going busy and when they do pick up they are unable to assist.
I called up APPLE in UK as well, no help there either..
but.. I say.. its a SIM FREE phone for crying out loud, what is this ACTIVATION nonsense??
Thanks for the suggestion anyways.

I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and can not find carrier and can not make a call freezed.
I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 5.0.1 yesterday. Today the device can not find carrier and if finds than it freezes when I tap call. I swictched on and off but no change.
No. There is no legit way to go back at all.
It seems that you had a hacked iphone that was locked back to the rightful carrier when you updated as it should. -

Has anyone downloaded an album from iTunes Store, once downloaded, will let you play some songs, but others is asking you to authorize your computer. When I go through those steps, it tells me that the computer is already authorized, but still will not let me play certain songs??
If just some of the tracks on the album are giving you that message, that suggests that those tracks are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items. -

Can't edit an excel file and can't save it in excel 2010, but the same file works fine in 2007.
I am trying to save an excel file in 2010 version but I am getting the following error:
Errors were detect while saving <File Name>.Microsoft excel may be able to save the file by removing or repairing some features. To make repairs in the file, Click continue. To cancel saving the file, click Cancel.
On clicking continue, I am asked to save it again and then finally I get the following error:
Excel encountered errors during save. However, excel was able to minimally save your file to <file Location>.
This file is saved successfully in 2007 version of the software.
Any help on this error would be highly appreciatedHi,
Based on my research, this behavior can occur under any of the following conditions:
You save an Excel file to a network drive where you have restricted permissions.
You save an Excel file to a location that does not have sufficient drive space.
The connection to the Excel file has been lost.
There is a conflict with an antivirus software program.
You save an Excel file that is shared.
The 218-character path limitation has been exceeded when you save an Excel file.
The Transition Formula Evaluation feature is turned on in Excel.
The file was created from a template that contains embedded objects.
To troubleshoot an Excel save issue, you can refer to the following links:

Hi, I would like to install my Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard - I got the serial number and disk, but you are asking for another product and serial number that I dont have? What should I do?
The serial number that you might have is an upgrade version & it will be asking for a previous qualifying version serial number.
The issue can be different too, please contact Adobe Support for resolution: http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6

I have restored my i phone 4 and trying to restore from the back, but it is asking for the password, but when I entered the Itunes password it is not accepting it, how can I restore the password?
Hello hskod,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
You can keep trying to restore the device from backup until you remember the password. If you're having trouble, try:
Leaving the password field blank
Your Apple ID password
Your computer account password, if you have one
Email passwords you may have used
Your Wi-Fi network password
Website passwords you may have used
A password for hard-disk encryption software, if you use it
Have a nice day,
