Picked iphone 4 from Dubai and it doesnt have facetime, can I get in India somehow on my handset?

My iphone4 was picked up from Dubai and doesnt have Facetime, Can I get the app somehow on my iphone?

Actually, your issue is completely different. Phones sold in certain countries, including Dubai and the UAE have Facetime disabled by Apple at the system level at the behest of those country's governments. There is no switch to turn it on or off.

    The iPhone from Dubai will never be able to have FaceTime. The iPhone country of origin (serial no. and imei no.) is the culprit. The government there has banned FaceTime.

    Hi I hv bought my iPhone 5s from Dubai and using it in India. I m not able to use FaceTime. Please help to enable FaceTime in my iPhone 5s.

    What is the model number of your iPhone? Settings=>General=>About, scroll
    down to Model.
    FaceTime is restricted in certain Middle East countries and iPhones designated
    for those markets will never have FaceTime, even when no longer in the restricted
    areas.

    You get a new phone not made for KSA and UAE markets. There is no way to get FT on your phone as it has been permanently crippled by law.

  • Exporting 7 min. video from Aperture and received error.  How can I get the original back?

    I uploaded a video from my iphone 5 into Aperture and then I tried to export it to my desktop.  After I clicked on Export, it attempted to export for a while but then gave me an error message saying that 0 of 1 videos was exported and it couldn't export.  Now it shows the video in the album in Aperture, but it won't play and I can't do anything with it.  I have tried to recall the original but it says there is no original and it says there are no referenced files when I try to reference the files.  The clip also shows an arrow pointing to the right with a yellow triangle by it.  This is located in the bottom right of the image, right next to the video icon.  My concern is that I tried to export the original.  Any ideas on how I can fix this and get the video back?

    The clip also shows an arrow pointing to the right with a yellow triangle by it.  This is located in the bottom right of the image, right next to the video icon.
    Is that the badge you are seeing? Then Aperture has lost the connection to the original video file.
    Now it shows the video in the album in Aperture, but it won't play and I can't do anything with it.  I have tried to recall the original but it says there is no original and it says there are no referenced files when I try to reference the files. 
    You tried to reconenct and locate the referenced file? Then you probably imported the video as "Managed" and then the commands for referenced files do not work.
    Look directly into your Aperture library package, if the video is still there:
    Select the Aperture Library in the Finder and ctrl-click(or right click) it.
    Then select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up.
    In the Finder window that opens scroll down to the "Masters" folder and open its subfolder "2013" and then go to the month and day, when you imported your video. Do you see your video there, or any imports at all?
    If you see the video in your library package, copy it to the Desktop, ad check, if you camn play it.
    What do you see?

  • I bought iPhone5 from Dubai it does not have facetime

    How come my new iPhone 5 that I got from Dubai doesn't have FaceTime?

    Pls check this link
    http://www.apple.com/ae/iphone/specs.html
    Its a big game with such consumers like me !
    When i bought this device sales girl at FONO UAE Mall of Emirates told me that Facetime will be activated when you start it in India as your softwear will be updated but after reaching india this is not working.
    But above link is good enough to prove that its a Apple's game.

  • I bought an iphone 5 from Dubai and activated it in Kabul- Afghanistan, when i want to make a video call but i couldn't find the FiceTime? Please help me i wana see my fiancee.

    How can i send my picture from PC to iphone 5?

    FaceTime is not available on devices sold in Dubai, their country doesn't allow it. Even though you may now be in a different country you won't be able to install it, including via iOS updates - it's blocked by the serial number.
    To sync photos, connect and select your phone on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if the sidebar isn't showing then control-S should get it to show), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the phone. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the phone together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the phone, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

  • I bought my iphone 5s in USA  and now i have come back to my country, India. My iPhone 5s battery needs replacement what should I do?

    Hello!
    My iPhone 5s battery needs replacement and I am not sure where to buy it from. I bought the phone when I was in USA but mow I am in my home country India and I am confused how to find an Apple Store in India so that I can get my phone repaired or battery replaced by them.
    Waiting for suggestions.

    The Warranty on phones is not international.  You will need to send the phone to someone in the US to start the replacement process (or repair), and when they receive the replacement (repaired device), they will need to send it back to you.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

    ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Most have restrictions in that you must be a current customer and have maintained service for a minimum period of time. Do yourself a favor, sell it and purchase a phone in India instead.

  • Iphone 5 from Dubai

    Hello, I have the opportunity to purchase an iPhone5 neverlocked from Dubai. I am living in Romania and I want to use my iPhone in to the Orange GSM network. The GSM frequencies are: 2G > 900, 1800; 3G > 2100! Is the iPhone5 purchased from EAU working? Can i activated the phone with Orange nanosim card in Romania? I heard that Facetime is removed from iOS according by EAU law. Is it possible to reinstall iOS which can provide me full facilities for iPhone?
    Best Regards,
    Tibi

    If the phone is an unlocked iPhone 5, then yes you should be able to insert any sim card and an Orange sim card and the phone should work.  It will pick up any frequency that it will work with whether that be 3G.
    If the phone does not have Facetime, then there is no way to get it back and re-installing iOS will not work.
    Yes, the phone should work, but why buy from Dubai when you could buy one from Europe instead that will have Facetime on it?
    Also, you will have no warranty in Romania if you buy the phone from Dubai - warranty for iPhone is country specific and not worldwide, so if anything goes wrong with your phone, then you'll have to take it back to Dubai - Romania won't touch it.
    Also ensure that you are purchasing the phone from a reputable seller in Dubai.  You could be sold something that is not as it seems.
    Buyer beware.

  • My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

    My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

    Thank you both for your responses but my daughter was reassured by the salesman in the iStyle store (official Apple store in the UAE) that iMessages would work but conceded that FaceTime wouldn't. My iTunes account is registered in the uk and my daughter's iPhone has iMessages even though she bought it (and uses it) in Dubai. Can anyone else throw any light on this?

    Can Apple or the carrier are capable of doing it?
