Is there a way to check to see if an IMEI has been submitted for unlock?

I wanted to ask is there is any way to check IMEI numbers to see whether or not they have been submitted to Apple for an unlock??
I have two phones I need to check, and iPhone 4 which is my daughters and was a birthday present, and an iPhone 5 which is mine. Both are NOT blacklisted, barred, reported lost or stolen, both are legitimate phones.
The iPhone 4 was paid for in full 3 weeks ago, and is locked to VODAFONE UK. The company told me 1-3 days, three weeks later, nothing, and all I get from them now is "we will email you when its been done"
The iPhone 5 is locked to Orange/EE UK, this again was done three weeks ago, but directly through ORANGE, who tell me the unlock request has been submitted, and it is imminent but then they have me a "HOW TO" of how to unlock it, and told me this has to be done this way or it wont work??
Here is what they told me I had to do they sent this via email
Please find the process for unlocking your Apple handset:-
Before attempting the procedure, please take a moment to read the following information. Please make sure that your iphone is up to date the latest software version. This can be checked by connecting your device to iTunes via a PC/Mac/Laptop.
Please be aware that if you have used an unauthorised unlock on your Apple device then Orange cannot be held responsible for any errors that may occur, as this procedure will not only be unsuccessful, it may damage the device. If you have modified the software please update with the latest Apple approved version.
Apple devices differ from all other manufacturers in that there is no code required to enter into your device to unlock it. However Orange have requested on your behalf to Apple that your device be prepared for unlock and the procedure below advises how you can complete this process. Only handset’s that have been requested to be unlocked viaOrange or other networks can be unlocked this way and the below instruction will not work another Apple devices.
Apple Unlock Procedure
1)Insert a non-T-mobile 3G SIM card. This must be a network provider who also supplies the iphone/ipad.
2)Switch ON the handset.
3)Connect to iTunes using USB cable
4)Use the “restore” option within iTunes (located at the bottom of iTunes not the top)
5)The handset may then display: USB cable and iTunes icon.
6)Disconnect from USB then re-connect
7)Synchronise device with iTunes
8)Once synchronised a message will appear on iTunes stating “Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked” If using IOS5 this message will not show
9)Follow on screen set up instructions to enable new carrier settings
Your handset should now be successfully unlocked
Should this not show, please keep other network 3G sim in the iphone and restore the iphone via iTunes making sure all data is backed up first.
You can also get some self help tips, please put the following into Google and search; support.apple.com/kb/TS3198
Regards
If anyone has any idea, please let me know, its driving me mad lol, two iphones, both not working

Unfortunately, many carriers "drag their feet" when it comes to processing iPhone unlock requests. All Apple does is add the phone's IMEI number to the officially unlocked database, and Apple does this immediately. The breakdown is with your carrier.
You can call AppleCare, they'll be able to tell you whether the IMEI number is in the database or not.

Is there some way to test to see if my computer has been hacked?

Can someone tell me how I can test my computer to determine if it has or is being hacked?
Thanks

...what is filevault? And now that you know the firewall was off, does that mean it could have been hacked?
Not Dave, but I'll try to give you some answers.
In System Preferences->Security click on the "?" in the lower left hand corner to learn how to make your computer more secure. When you finish doing that type "About FileVault" in the search box in the upper left corner of Mac Help to learn what filevault is. It has been known to cause issues with backups and if you forget your password there is no way to recover the information in your home folder. They have revamped this capabiltiy in Lion (FileVault 2) to improve it, but I don't think users have had much of a chance to check it out to see how capable it is. Since I don't use it I hesitate to comment.
It's slightly more probable that you have been hacked with the firewall off through remote access, but now much.
Since I already paid for MacKeeper- thinking it was an Apple product, and seeing what is known about their ethics - which does matter to me, can I really get rid of it, thoroughly?
MacKeeper support says that you can completely remove it by dragging it to the trash and answering a question about why you don't want it. After you do that, the uninstaller is supposed to remove everything. Users have found that their keychain still contained passwords for mackeeper or zeobit which shouldn't cause any problems. A user the other day said they searched their hard drive and found three left over files, but I don't think they ran the uninstaller. Depending on what features you activate you may have to Log out or restart your computer to completely stop the processes running in the background, but the uninstaller should have taken care of that, as well.
If you decide to uninstall it and want a list of the known places to look for files let me know and I'll provide you with the list I have.

Is there a way to re-add a bluetooth device that has been forgotten?

Is there a way to re-add a bluetooth device that has been "forgotten"? My iPhone does not look for my car radio and I have been unable to get it added to to the devices list.

You have to put both devices back into discovery mode for pairing. Check the vehicle and see if you can remove the iPhone from the vehicle first. Then turn on Bluetooth on the phone. Once you see the spinning wheel, you know it is ready to be discovered. Check the vehicle manual and put the vehicle into discovery/pairing mode. You should be able to reconnect from there.

Is there a way to find out how long my child has been playing with my ipad

Is there a way to find out how long my child has been playing with my ipad??? He has been getting up before me in the morning and in the evening he is super tired and I'm wondering how early he has been getting up????

No way to see exactly how long the iPad has been used but you may want to consider using parental controls.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That depends on whether you have it backed up somewhere.

How can I see that a file has been sent for workflow?

How can I see that a file has been sent for workflow?
During the workflow phase, the file is locked for workflow. But when the file has been approved (or denied) it will have the same status as it did before the workflow process (unless you trigger the workflow by changing its location).
You can see the workflow history in the "My Request" view, but this way of determining whether a file has been approved seems complicated.

Hi,
Thanks for the transaction code, but my question is not answered yet.
For example, I use STMS_IMPORT in the Development environement to see the list of the transport that has been made in that environement.
I now have a list of these transports, with a status. But I wanna know if that transport that has been created in the Development environement has been moved to the Sandbox environement.
STMS_IMPORT shows me only the list of transports that has been created in that environement. It doesn't tell me if a transport in DVL has been moved in the QAS, SANDBOX or PRODUCTION environment.
Thanks again,
Julien

Is there I way to check my macbook's fan health or an app for it?

My macbook is getting older, it uses Lion OS though but is there a way to check my fan's life or something?
Thanks!

No. There is no such thing. Either the fans work or they don't work. You can install various hardware monitors that provide information on fan speed and hardware temps, but that's about it. See
Temperature Monitor 4.94
Hardware Monitor 4.95
iStat Menus 3.21
atMonitor 2.7b
And you will find a few others at the Mac App Store.

Checking to see if a Child has been added, before adding

Hey folks,
I'm working on building a gallery, but I've run into a slight snag. The full-size images are not all the same size, so they will overlap when loaded. In the showPicture function, is there a way for it to check to make sure there isn't a full-size image already loaded, and if there is, to remove it before adding the new one? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
var imageLoader:Loader;
var xml:XML;
//parse XML data as an array
var xmlList:XMLList;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("data/gallery.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
    xml = XML(event.target.data);
    //parse the nodes in the XML file
    xmlList = xml.children();
    //count the number of nodes in the XML file via XMLList
    trace(xmlList.length());
    //loop to load all of the thumbnails, based on the number of nodes in XMLList
    for(var i:int = 0; i < xmlList.length(); i++) {
        imageLoader = new Loader();
        imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlList[i].attribute("thumb")));
        //position thumbs horizontally across stage
        imageLoader.x = i * 110 + 10; //thumbs are 100 x 100 so, +10 to the width, plus +10 from left edge
        imageLoader.y = 10;
        imageLoader.name = xmlList[i].attribute("source");
        addChild(imageLoader);
        //set up thumbs to load primary image on click
        imageLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showPicture);
function showPicture(event:MouseEvent):void {
    imageLoader = new Loader();
    imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(event.target.name));
    //position full image below the row of thumbs
    imageLoader.x = 110;
    imageLoader.y = 130;
    addChild(imageLoader);

Oy..I'm an idiot. I realized that all I needed was a second loader to handle the full-size images and simply unload it prior to pulling in the new image. Here's the completed and fixed code:
import flash.display.*;
var imageLoader:Loader;
var fullLoader:Loader = new Loader;
var xml:XML;
//parse XML data as an array
var xmlList:XMLList;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var imgFrame:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("data/gallery.xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
    xml = XML(event.target.data);
    //parse the nodes in the XML file
    xmlList = xml.children();
    //count the number of nodes in the XML file via XMLList
    trace(xmlList.length());
    //loop to load all of the thumbnails, based on the number of nodes in XMLList
    for (var i:int = 0; i < xmlList.length(); i++) {
        imageLoader = new Loader();
        imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlList[i].attribute("thumb")));
        //position of thumbs (horizontally across stage)
        imageLoader.x = i * 110 + 10;//thumbs are 100 x 100 so, +10 to the width, plus +10 from left edge
        imageLoader.y = 10;
        imageLoader.name = xmlList[i].attribute("source");
        //add thumbnails to stage
        addChild(imageLoader);
        //set up thumbs to load primary image
        imageLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showPicture);
function showPicture(event:MouseEvent):void {
    fullLoader.unload();
    fullLoader.load(new URLRequest(event.target.name));
    //position full image below the row of thumbs and center to stage
    imgFrame.x = (stage.stageWidth - imgFrame.width) * 0.5;
    imgFrame.y = (stage.stageHeight - imgFrame.height) * 0.5 + 130;
    imgFrame.addChild(fullLoader);
    addChild(imgFrame);

Is there a way to edit an event in calendar that has been sent by others?

Can enyone help with this, or is it just me? If I accept a meeting invitation from someone else, it seems I cannot edit it. So if someone sends me some further information, (e.g. address, agenda, background info etc), I cannot subsequently add this to the event in Calendar.
This does not affect events I have created myself, as there is an edit button, but this does not seem to be available for events created by others.
Any help appreciated as it is driving me nuts!

Hi Dean,
To access the archived FI_DOCUMNT data via archive aware tcodes, one will need to have index to archived data. This means that you will have to use AIS, which is basically a index to archived data.
Check the following link for more details on displaying archived FI_DOCUMNT data

Is there a way to identify a default blog AFTER it has been customized?

I'm using 'blog' pages as a way to create sub-pages for projects (with auto archive setups).
I've just created a rather elaborate custom job on one of the iWeb default blog pages. And now discover I want to create a series of similar 'blog' page setups ... based on the original default page. But I can't remember the original default blog page I used. Is there a way I can find this out - without complicated testing and cross-referencing?
All ears,
Ben

use theme switching.
click on 4th item from the lower left corner of iweb window, will pop up selection pane.
scan through items in the pop up, you default blog is the one that will not hilite.

Is there a way to retrieve original iPhone photo after it has been edited and saved?

I cropped and saved a photo, not realizing the original would be deleted. Is there any way to retrieve the original?

The find my iphone app is not needed and has nothing to do with finding the iphone on which it is installed. The app simply allows you to find your other devices from the iphone - not find the iphone it is on.
Find my iphone is a feature, no app required. You do have to set it up on the iphone itself. If you did not , then you cannot track it.
The serial number is of no use in locating an iphone.

Is there a way to find out if a tracking device has been installed on my phone wiithout my knowledge?

I'm trying to figure out if I have a tracking device (unknowingly) installed on my phone. Is there a way to detect/search and if there is, how do you remove it?

Unless someone had physical access to your iPhone or you jailbroke it, there would be no way anyone could install any sort of tracking app on your iPhone (and without jailbreaking installing any app would require said person to have your Apple ID and password). But if you're really concerned, just restore it. That will remove all applications and data and you can then sync back only the applications and content you wish to have.
Regards.

How can I check to see if my software has been registered?

After a recent hardware replacement I am unable to find my Aperture 2 download. I never used it anyway so i'm not concerned but would like to be able to pass it on if it can be, is this possible? How can I check to see if I even registered it? I have the original packaging and all contents including Serial numbers, support ID, and four software coupons for updates. I am a bit technophobe, sorry!
So,
1. How can I check to see if it was registered correctly?
2. Can someone else use the software?
Hope someone can help.

You don't need to check registration. In the Apple world registering software really doesn't have much of a purpose.
If the software was bought on DVD and you have the serial number you are free to give it or sell it to anyone you wish. Just keep in mind that Aperture 2 is very old and while it (sort of) works on the newer OS's it really isn;t a good solution for anyone serious about using Aperture.
It would be OK for someone with older hardware that is unable to upgrade past Snow Leopard but for anyone with newer hardware it would be a mistake to use.
