Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
If you do not meet their requirements or they do not offer unlocking there is no official way to unlock the device.
Who is your carrier?

I am an exchange student for the year and I would like to by an iphone that i can use in France also, so I need an unlocked one but i don't want to pay to much for it... What should I do?
What do you mean what should you do? Just because you don't want to pay too much for a phone, doesn't make the price any cheaper. If you can't afford the price of an unlocked phone, then you don't, or can't, buy one.

I have an iPhone5, 16 gb and a 120 gb iPod. All my songs won't fit on the iPhone of course. How can I just get some of them on the iPhone? I want to keep all my music on the iPod, but just want SOME of my music on the iphone. I am VERY new to all this so be gentle and thanks.
You Sync the Music you want on the Phone via iTunes on your computer.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

My iPhone 3GS does not appear on the source list or in windows so I cannot sync it to my itunes. However the device is charging and the cable used works well as I often use it to charge all of my devices. I have tried this on multiple computers and it does not work on either which suggests to me it is a problem due to my itunes account settings or something. How can I make my device recognised? I have read and tried the steps from apple support.

So even if I just ask to pay them to replace the lock button they won't because my screens are third-party?
Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement. They replace the ENTIRE device.
For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device. Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
Apple will not touch the device now. They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original. -
I had to erase my hard drive and reinstall ox snow leopard. when i try to sync my Iphone or Ipad it says that my device was synced with another computer and I will loose my songs on the Iphone or ipad and it will be replaced by the library that is on my computer now. The library is empty since I had to erase the hard drive. Can anyone help?
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone/iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone/iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip. -

Where -on iTunes - can I find a control that will enable me to synch the Iphone.
The auto synch on attaching is turned offThere is no merge feature for itunes content, never was. Merge applies only to contacts and calendar entries.
The itunes content sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases
You can transfer the purchases from the iphone to itunes before you sync. File>Transfer Purchases -
We just installed a new wireless router to our main PC. It's a Cisco Linkseys E1200. All other wireless devices were able to connect without a problem, including my Ipad. We have 2 Macbook Pro laptops. They both connect just fine when on the same floor of our house as the router, but when we take them upstairs to the 2nd floor of the house, they lose connectivity and it states the wireless password is not the correct password. All other 2nd floor laptops have no problem at all with connectivity no matter where they are in the house. Please help- my husband is on the verge of selling Apple if that cannot be remedied.
This would not be a security issue symptom. I would consider checking for sources of wireless interference HT1365

How can I change iPhone 3GS with iPhone 4 White ?, How can I change iPhone 3GS with iPhone 4 White ?
I am using a iPhone 3GS at the moment...and I would like to change that phone with iPhone 4 White.. so.. where can I change and how ?...
Not sure I understand the question... you want to swap your phone out?
If that's the case, depending on who your provider is, and where you originally purchased the phone, you should probably begin your discussion there, and find out if you have an upgrade or exchange option.
If you've purchased the iPhone 4, and just want to sync and start using THAT phone instead? And have all of your apps, and music moved over there? Well... we can do that!
If you can clarify the question, I'll narrow down the answer!
Thanks... -

My hard drive went bad and I lost a lot of purchased items from the iTunes store. I want to re-download them but can not. They still show up on my purchased items. How do I solve this?
Update to iTunes 10.3.1
After you have finished, you can re download your iTunes purchases without having to re purchase.
iTunes 10.3.1
" Download Previous Purchases. Download your past music purchases again at no additional cost. Your purchases are available in the iTunes Store on your Mac or in the iTunes app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer on the iTunes Store."
"Available on iTunes in the U.S. and Canada only. Title availability is subject to change."
