I PURCHASED A IPHONE 4 IN SAN FRANCISCO FROM BEST BUY FOR USD 650 WITHOUT CONTRACT. I WANT TO UNLOCK THE PHONE TO USE IN INDIA AS IT IS LOCKED AT THE MOMENT
i purchased a iphone 4 in san francisco from a best buy for 649.99 usd without contract. the phone is however locked and i want it to be unlocked by apple officially. please help
Apple does not unlock iPhones, only the carrier that it is locked to can do that. Contact them. If you were sold a phone that was supposed to be unlocked when you purchased it (which is what it sounds like) you should contact Best Buy.
Best of luck.

I bought an iphone 5 in Sept at Best Buy, after a few hours it lost power, so I returned it. Even the new one lost power after a few hours if left on. I do not have bluetooth on. I must always have it shut off now until I go to use it. Any suggestions? Is this normal?

i purchased i phone 3GS from San francisco thro my brother, when i brought to oman, i want to update ios 5 to ios 6 for that from itunes to start update , finally failed and i could not able to configure in oman wifi network, i dont have backup..help me..
Has your phone ever been hacked or jailbroken. This error message is what usually shows up for that. Are you using a supported carrier for the iPhone, or did someone hack the phone to unlock it to be used on another carrier. If that is the case, then there is no help you can get here as discussing hacked/jailbroken devices is not allowed.

I bought an iPhone in San Francisco and I live in Ecuador, I need a place to claim the world apple warranty in Ecuador, because I have a problem with the screen
There is no "world apple warranty" on iPhones. As paulcb points out, the warranty is only valid in the country of origin. You will have to bring it to the U.S. or send it to someone you know there to get it serviced.

If I purchase an Iphone 5s factory unlocked in the US from the Apple store and bring it to India, will I be able to purchase a global warranty? If not then will i be able to get the phone serviced here in India from the authorised dealer/agent in India?

No, as there is no such thing for an iPhone.

Nope. You'll only be able to get the phone serviced in the US...no one will touch it in India. -

I bought my iphone from carephone warehouse, sim free and with no contract. 5 months down the line I had a problem with the phone and I booked a genius appointment, they swapped my phone and gave me a new phone but they locked my phone to tmobile!!! I now do not use tmobile and I have an iphone which is locked to tmobile!!! I bought an unlocked phone and apple have locked it!!! what can i do?
In response to this, Carphone Warehouse (and Phones4U) sell what is commonly referred to as "sim free" handsets - these are not the same as unlocked. Sim free handsets will automatically lock to the first network sim card that the phone is activated with, and that will be permanently. The only way to unlock the handset would be to go through the network (T-Mobile I understand) and request they unlock it for you. More than likely, there will be a charge as you are no longer a T-Mobile customer.
If you ever want to purchase a new unlocked iPhone, the only place you can buy one is from Apple directly. Any other place will most likely sell sim free handsets. -
I bought a iphone 4 from a guy on craigslist, I knew about ios 7.0 having the lock thing, but when I met him, his simcard was in the phone, I tested the phone with his simcard in from of him. The phone looked great with no problems and I even got the box with the accesories, so I knew it was his... I then did the reset on the phone (erase all data... from settings) and it went through and activated and everything was good... I used the phone for about a month with no problems at all, even had my apple ID in the icloud and everything... well ios 7.0.6 came out and I used my computer to restore the phone, because I feel that the cord and computer gives it a better restore, it did great no problems, and when it went to the part where I went to activate the phone, I get a enter your apple id and password to complete activation... Wait... why is this up i thought, I thought I did everything like I suppose to to succesfully switch it to me, the new owner... but now its asking for some C******@yahoo.com.... I only have @gmail.com emails and none start with a C... The guy sold me the phone because he was switching to Verizon, and I tried to call him, and now the number is disconnected... I guess he switched to Verizon with a new number... Now im stuck with a paperweight that costed me $200.00... What can I do at this point... Please help me... I restored it to give it to my Step Son as I just got me the iphone 5... Thank you for ANY HELP in advance... Thank you again.

i bought a iphone 3g from market yesterday and the phone is showing a usb an also itunes logo on the screen, the ive tryed restore and update, but once this has finished it gives me erra code (1015) can anybody help me plz
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

Redemption code from Photoshop Elements 12 purchased from Best Buy does not work 'Oops! This code doesn't seem to be active. Please contact the retailer you purchased the card from, or use a different code.' I have an invoice and the pickup notice from Best Buy. What other information does Best Buy need? What will they do? Will I get a new box? What happened to the days of just typing in a simple s/n?

Purchased photoshop elements from best buy. how do i download to macbook pro?
I purchased photoshop elements and premiere elements 11 from best buy and have a macbook pro. How do I download to my mac without a cd drive?
Obtain the serial number by following the steps listed here. Copy the contents of the DVD on a USB drive first and then copy them on your hard drive and run the setup file.
