I got an iPhone 4 while I was living in Japan. How can I use it in the states now that I live here?

I was using an iPhone 4 while I was living in Japan. How can I use it in the states now that I live here? It is a perfectly good phone and I don't want to use it only as an iPod and camera.

That's one option. The other is to sell it (you can probably get close to what you paid for it) or trade it in and get a new unlocked phone directly from an Apple store. That way you can use it in the US, and also in Japan when you return there.

    iPhones sold by AT&T are never unlocked. Anyone who told you otherwise was wrong. Here are AT&T's official requirements and procedure for unlocking an iPhone:

    You'll have to apply to them for unlocking.

    I would not be concerned with you iPod being comprised.since that really can' be done on a non-jailbroken iPod. I suspect it was a popup associated with Reddit. Someone is trying to get you to do something via social engineering. Apple wold not allow you to "update" the Apple camera app.
    I would go to Reddit support and see if it has been reported by other

    If AT&T authorized the unlock and it was succcessfully completed, then you should be able to use your iPhone with any cell carrier in the Philippines that offers compatible GSM service. You'll need to get a SIM from that carrier.

    Call AT&T and see if you meet their requirements for unlocking the phone.  If you don't, then you'll have to purchase a different phone entirely.

  • My iPhone 3GS was stolen today while I was grocery shopping. How can I locate where my phone is?

    My iPhone 3GS was stolen today. Can anyone help me figure out how to locate where my iPhone has been taken to? Some Low Life stole it while I was grocery shopping. I need that phone. I don't have a Contract phone, just a Gov't Free phone number/minutes. Please help me someone.

    Thank You roaminggnome, I don't think I turned Find My Phone app on on my phone, but I did turn it on on my laptop. I deleted my contacts list and Hope that Iit somehow deleted my contacts list on my phone. Also, I turned on Find My Phone on my laptop and it says my phone is turned off. So I think that whoever stole my phone took out my Sim Card and replaced it with theirs or that they sold my phone for Crack. I hope my phone hasn't been restored. Ty for your response Roaming. God Bless You ,, Tinynawlinswoman6

  • I recently bought an Airport extreme, while I was living in Japan, and had a fiber optic modem. The Airport connected fine and I had wi-fi I moved back to the US, and when I got my docsis(?) modem from COX, it  wont work with my airport extreme help!

    Basically had APxtreme working with fiber optic in Japan, got to the states with Docsis(cisco) modem and my APxtreme doesnt work now. Tried forever, and it just didnt work, I had a yellow light for internet on airport utility with a green light for the APxtreme? Still nothing workey....

    Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • HT4623 my iPhone 5 is frozen while I was updating with iTunes.  Can not use phone and is stuck on the iTunes and USB screen.  How do you fix it?

    I can not use the phone at all.  It is frozen on the iTunes and USB screen.  iTunes is not recognizing the phone as connected either. What do I need to do to fix it.

    Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with Lightning Cable. Hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If there are any problems with this, you have 1 year Warranty with Apple. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

  • I want to buy an iphone 5 from an Apple store in Japan. Can I use my Australian SIM?

    My understanding is I am able to buy SIM free iphones from Apple stores here in Japan. I am currently living here and have my Australian iphone 4s with all of my contacts and apps connected through this number. Besides the fact I know I need a nano sim from Australia, can I use a iphone I bought here in Japan with my Australian SIM? Thank you in advance for your answers

    Not sure that you can - I think that all Japanese phones are carrier locked and people who have purchased iPhones in Japan and who have posted here have been disappointed when they have discovered that their phones are locked and that the Japanese carriers will not unlock phones.
    Also, very good luck if you can buy an iPhone 5, because the iPhone 5 was discontinued from the range when both the 5s and 5c were released last year making your only options for purchase either an iPhone 4s, 5s or 5c.  Might be different in Japan though, but yes, if you can buy a truly unlocked iPhone from Apple in Japan, then you can use any sim card in it, but you need to remember that even with a sim card you might not be able to get all the services with an Australian sim card - perhaps not 4G due to frequency differences etc and also warranty cover on a Japanese phone when you return to Australia - if you buy in Japan then warranty is for Japan only and NOT Australia.

  • I have iphone 4 through verizon and travelling to London. how can I use my apps in London?

    Can I use a Verizon iPhone 4 in London... I would like to be able to use my apps there?

    Use them the same way you use them at home.
    There won't be any CDMA carriers in London.  Most of the world uses GSM, so the phone/cell data will not be available.

  • I got new iphone. i have mp3 songs in my coputer. how can i copy those songs in my i phone?

    You need to use iTunes to sync your iPhone.  It's a free download, available here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can simply drag your mp3s into iTunes, and they'll then be available to sync with your iPhone.

  • TS1702 I made a request to update an App in my iPad, but I found out that it was not supported. How can I get rid of the annoying number from the App Store now?

    I don' t want to loose my data!!

    As of the current version, I don't believe there is a way to tell the App Store app to ignore updates. You can send Apple feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/, but in short there is nothing you can do. As long as you don't try to update the app (either pressing the update button or update all), the app should continue to work fine with your data remaining intact. It has been a while since I've tried to update an app that isn't supported (last time was under iOS 3 or 4), so I can't comment about what would happen if you did try to update it. (My best guess is it will display an alert saying it is not compatible, and leave the previous version there, but not take away the 'update' in the APp Store app updates page).

  • Hi, I purchased a non contract iphone 4 32gb whilst on holiday in america, how can I use it with my O2 microsim

    Please can anyone advise how I can use my non contract american iphone 4 32gb back in U.K. using my contract O2 microsim, I was told by the guy in the store that I could use my O2 sim?

    You can't, a non contract US phone means just that it is not tied to a fixed term contract.  It is still locked to AT&T and they have never officially unlocked a phone.  You need to see if there is some way you can return it and get money back.

    Talked to Vodafone. They said that if my phone is indeed unlocked that theoretically I should be able to stop into one of their stores and pick up a prepaid (PAYGO) sim and it will work. The only problem is, they don't have any prepaid sims yet. Hopefully they will when I arrive there in 2 weeks. I may pick up a nano sim cutter just in case they don't.
