I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

    You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right?  If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

    If it's not available in your country and you do not have a copy of it in iTunes backed up on your computer, you don't.

  • How can i get the SSO to work successfully?

    How can i get the SSO to work successfully?  I followed the note for configuring infoview with ad sso using kerveros & .net.
    Adding the AD group into the win ad authentication configuration page creates the user group but the members of the group aren't being pulled in when I go to the group and select / query the users tab

    Bart,
    By default the setting for update options on the Windows AD tab of authentication does not actually create the aliases until the user attempts to login the first time. We set it this way to prevent a huge group of alias's being created when the administrator sets up Windows AD and also so that only user aliases for users actually using the system get created.  You can change this behaviour though if you like.  Simply change the radio button option to 'New Aliases will be added and new users will be created' this will create the accounts for you when you hit the update button.  If you have a large group your adding I would wait until and afterhours time when you have less activity as this will impact CMS performance while it creates all the accounts.

  • HOW CAN I GET THE SPELLCHECK TO WORK ON HOTMAIL

    HOW CAN I GET FIREFOX SPELLCHECK TO WORK

    I have tried changing the volume both by using the volume buttons on the side and through settings.  I have updated all the apps. Closed and reopened a million times hoping it was just a one time deal but I have had continuous problems since the update on my ipad.
    I love the update on my iphone but for some reason the ipad did not adjust well.  I really would like to get it fixed because I love my ipad but there is no use when the apps an volume do not work.

  • TS3274 How can I get the volume to work?

    We have an iPad but can't get the volume to work?

    Alright now if you are talking about issues using Safari, here a few things that you can try.
    1. Quit Safari completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    3. Clear Safari. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    You must restore the iPad with iTunes.

  • How can I get the volume to work on my ipad after the iOS 7.02 update?

    The performance of my ipad plummeted after the iOS 7 and 7.0.2 updates. The apps crash and some do not work at all and worst of all, my volume does not work at all. Is there a way I can at least get the volume to work?
    I was planning on purchasing a MacBook Pro but with all these issues I am reconsidering.

  • How can I get the Iphone receipts from Apple Store Millenia Orlando?

    To all, back January 2011 in Orlando, I bought 2 Iphones locked at AT&T. In that time I paid full price without AT&T contract. Now, I contact AT&T to unlock them and they are asking me the receipts proving that I bought them with full price.
    I don1t have the receipts anymore, so how can I get a copy of them?
    An important detail, I live in Brazil so I can not go to the Apple Store to claim for a new copy.
    Do you have any idea how I could have these receipts?
    Thanks

    If you paid with debit or credit card, try contacting the
    financial institute that issued the card. Look through
    your old statements to see if the entry is there. Search
    your emails if you chose to have the receipt emailed to
    you.

  • I downloaded a bunch of apps over 20MB on itunes, later syncing all of them to my iphone. They didn't show up as a working app though, just a "loading" app which i cannot delete or get rid of. How can i get the apps to work?

    any ideahow to get rid of these apps and get the working ones on my iphone?

    instead of writing such an essay, you could have explained better what you tried to do to get them.

  • HT4859 I have my iPhone and iPad backed up to iCloud. Recently, I had my iPhone stolen. I am trying to see the iPhone Notes but when I go to iCloud, I can only see my iPad Notes. How can I see the iPhone Notes?

    I have been backing up my iPhone and iPad through the iCloud.
    Recently my iPhone 4 was stolen but had recently been backed up. I am trying to find the Notes on that iPhone through the icloud.com.
    When I go onto icloud.com, I can only see the iPad Notes - not the iPhone Notes.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    G

    Were both devices sync'ing their notes to iCloud?  Or was one set to sync, and the other just to backup?
    If you look in settings -> iCloud you needed to have the slider by Notes "ON" for both devices if you wanted to sync notes between both of them and iCloud.  In that case, notes on each would be identical, and the same as you can view in the Notes app on www.iCloud.com
    If you had the Notes slider "OFF" and the iCloud Backup option "ON" then your notes should be in your backup and restoreable, but you will not see them online in the Notes app there.

  • How can I get  the iPhone Calendar to update reminders from Outlook?

    I have an iPhone 2g v2.0.2 with an Exchange account through work. Everything works flawlessly except one annoying problem: The iPhone calendar does not seem to recognize that I have dismissed or changed a reminder time in Outlook.
    Example: A reminder alert appears on my computer (Windows XP/Outlook 2007/Kerio mail server). I will "Dismiss" the alert only to have it pop up again 10 seconds later presumably because my iPhone didn't get the dismissed reminder message, then syncs back to Outlook that the reminder is still active. I have even opened the item in Outlook, changed or canceled the reminder, saved the item, only to have it pop up again seconds later after the iphone reverts to the original reminder.
    The only way I have found to stop this cycle is to open the item on the iPhone calendar and cancel the reminder.
    Any ideas on how to solve this would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Just so that you know you're not alone, I have a couple clients experiencing the same problem. Have yet to come up with a solution outside of what you've mentioned. Wish I had more to add to the topic.

  • How can I get the parenthesis to work in contacts

    I have the iPhone 4s from Verizon.
    When I add contacts using recently called numbers, or when I add a new contact directly, the phone numbers seem to get entered simply as a string of 10 numbers.  I am pretty sure it used to automatically put it into this form (xxx) xxx-xxxx which I liked.
    I would like to know how to get this formating to work (automatically) again.  BTW, I checked my region settings and it is still set for USA.
    Thanks,
    Robin
