  • How do i get all my purchases onto a differant computor after my ipod has been wiped because my little sister tried my passcode wrong and it said connect to itunes but the laptop my ipod was connected to has broke how do i get my songs and apps back?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • I couldn't log into my apple account on my iPad, then i couldn't unlock it resulting in it being disabled, however it's the same as my iPhones password, I then called apple, i was hung up on twice and they said it will cost £70 to fix THEIR problem, help?

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

  • Will Verizon Be Unlocking the iPhone 5 for International Use with local carriers abroad like they do with the 4S?

    Here is my situation. I am leaving the country on business in a month. Since it is pretty doubtful that an unlocked iPhone 5 will be available for pre-order tomorrow, I'll be buying one at full price under my verizon account (not due for an upgrade yet). Verizon currently SIM Unlocks the iPhone 4S if you meet certain requirements (account in good standing, active 60 days, phone activated on account, etc.) so you can use your iPhone abroad with a local carrier there for cheaper rates. Does anyone think Verizon will do this same procedure for the new iPhone 5? I understand that my new iPhone may not have 4G LTE capability abroad due to hardware limitations on different carrier models, however all new iPhone 5 models have quad band GSM/EDGE and 3G. Would I be able to use this feature if Verizon unlocked my iPhone? It should be noted I am not trying to unlock to use my phone on Tmobile or another US carrier, as with the 4S carriers put a block on this even for unlocked Verizon models. I am looking at this from the standpoint of a traveling business user (and I think there are a lot out there wondering the same thing). Nonetheless I will be preordering the iPhone 5 from Verizon and on release day I will call them and ask if they will unlock it. If they don't I will return it. I'll update my findings here for anyone else curious about this as well.

    Egilbbys21... I am curious how things worked out with getting a nano SIM and your iPhone 5.  Our family will be visiting Manila this summer, and I would like to hear a first-hand account about your phone experiences.  Do you purchase minutes for call/texting?  What about data?  Any feedback you can give from your trip regarding your iPhone usage would be helpful.  Thanks!

  • Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even thoug it

    Apart from the lock button problem in iphone 5 the display brightness suddenly goes blank and becomes normal after locking and unlocking the iphone. The Apple service centre in India is denying to service the iphone as it was purchase in USA even though the iphone is in warranty.

    iPhones do not have an international warranty.  Warranty is valid only for the country of purchase.  This is most likely because different countries require different iPhone models.  Not reasonable to expect all countries to maintain stock for all models.

    File>Open to open your eps file
    File>Export to export your image as a jpg.
    In the export dialog box just below where you type in the filename is a file type, that is where you choose jpg.
    What ever you do, do not delete the eps file. Should you ever need to access the original you will have have.
    I recommend that instead of jpg you choose psd, tiff, or png and use jpg only for sharing. Jpg is a lossy format meaning each time you edit the file and save it, the quality of that file degrades. The formats I recommend are lossless formats, you can edit them all you want no data is being discarded unless you choose to do so.

  • Unlocking the iPhone 4S - Please, a REAL answer from someone official?

    I've searched everywhere for this; I've read the other posts with the link to the "unlock confirmation" that's really from the "Droid" page; I've contacted customer service three times . . . each time as I was about to pull the trigger on purchasing a new phone.
    I don't know how monitored this community might be but PLEASE, if someone from Verizon's reading this, we need something in writing.
    I was about to order the 32GB Black iPhone 4S but suddenly got concerned that I couldn't find ANY official information about unlocking the SIM for travel.  I had seen the "unlock after 60 days" quotes in ALL the magazines and online sites, but found nothing on verizon.
    So, I contacted customer service, via chat, where I was told that:
    Karen: Verizon does not unlock the sim. 
    Karen: No you cannot swap out the sim.
    Karen: I was told Verizon does not unlock no phones/
      followed by
    Karen: Would you mind holding for a moment while I check that information?
    stu: Again, just to clarify, 'cause it's sort of a strange policy, Verizon will never unlock an iPhone?
    Karen: No they told me no. 
    That seemed to end Verizon for me as an option. I'm heading for a month in Europe in June and on a month long trip, with the need/desire for lots of local calls, it's not economically feasible to use the roaming plans.
    Then I searched for the press quote again . .finding:
    “It is our standard unlock policy for all Global Phones. You have to have been a customer for 60 days and in good standing (meaning your bill is current) and the phone you want to unlock must be on our network at the time of the request. You call Verizon Wireless before you leave the country and we unlock the SIM. We will honor one unlock every 10 months.” — Brenda Raney, Verizon Wireless Public Relations
    So, I thought I'd go back to customer service where this time . . . 
    Michael: Yes you can get it unlocked just as the message you sent me said. 
    Michael: The bill would have to current for at least the 60 days before we could unlock it though. 
    stu: Really? You sure? I keep getting conflicting answers. That would be great!
    Michael: I am positive. 
    All right! Goodbye ATT . . hello Verizon.
    So, a little later in the evening, I'm filling up the shopping cart with the phone and the calling plan and the data plan and . . .wait a minute . . pit of my stomach time.  I STILL haven't seen anything official about this policy. Nothing in writing . . anywhere.  The first rep could be right . . . leaving the cart behind, I decide to check one more time:
    Josh B: The 4S is global capable.
    Josh B: You will have to pay the global roaming rates however.
    stu: Right, but the quote above says that, if I keep my account in good standing for more than 60 days, I can get the SIM unlocked.
    Josh B: No, it won't be unlocked. 
    He then sent me to the customer agreement, which has nothing about this.  A little bit further down . . 
    Josh B: Anything that involves unlocking and/or rooting, is a violation of contract and can be penalized with an Early Termination fee.
    stu: Right, if the customer does it. However, what I was told earlier today, and it's the same thing that the Verizon Wireless Public Relations person said to the press a few weeks ago, was that VERIZON would unlock the SIM after 60 days, as long as the account was in good standing. Is this not true?
    Josh B: It was in a magazine correct?
    stu: It was in Macworld and PCMag and everywhere else on the web. The quote was:
    stu: “It is our standard unlock policy for all Global Phones. You have to have been a customer for 60 days and in good standing (meaning your bill is current) and the phone you want to unlock must be on our network at the time of the request. You call Verizon Wireless before you leave the country and we unlock the SIM. We will honor one unlock every 10 months.” — Brenda Raney, Verizon Wireless Public Relations
    Josh B: So how can you be sure that it was actually one of our PR's? Don't trust anything that isn't on our direct website, or directly at a store location or coming from a Customer Service rep over the phone.
    So, now what do I do?
    I would like to buy an iPhone.  Verizon is the only one with a policy, at least in press-release form, of unlocking the iPhone eventually. However, I keep getting different answers and I don't want to be locked into a 2  year contract without getting some sort of official confirmation that the policy is 60 days.
    Can anyone actually show something, in an official Verizon location, that clearly states the policy?
    stu
    Note:  I edited this because of some different information about ATT.  A couple of reps said that ATT would unlock the phone. One said after 4-6 months, the other said after 90 days. When I asked if the policy was written down, she sent me a link which she was then surprised to see contained the following:
    http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB82027#fbid=5OBPuSVI7XK
    What is the unlock code for my iPhone?
    iPhone cannot be unlocked, even if you are out of contract. If you are traveling internationally, iPhone is a quad-band phone and will work in many countries across the globe. Stay connected while traveling to over 215 countries, plus get discounted rates in over 80 of those countries when you sign up for AT&T World Traveler 
    And this:

    What is the unlock code for my phone?
    Note: If your phone is an iPhone, the following information does not apply. Please see What is the unlock code for my iPhone? for more information. 
    Wireless phones purchased from AT&T generally come with locked SIMs, which potentially makes them incompatible with wireless service from non-AT&T providers. 
    To use an AT&T phone on another wireless network, you must unlock its SIM using an Unlock Code.
    AT&T will provide the Unlock Code for phones on wireless plans if:
    Your wireless service has been active for 90 days or longer
    Your account is current and in good standing
    Your phone is not sold exclusively by us
    Your phone's Unlock Code is available from the Manufacturer
    AT&T will provide the Unlock Code for AT&T branded phones on Prepaid plans to customers who have either been on AT&T service for 6 months or longer, or provide a receipt or other proof of purchase. 
    AT&T cannot provide Unlock Codes for iPhones and other non-eligible devices.

    So, I'm sitting in the office and my boss forwards me an email. (I've been doing research on the iPhone for both of us.)  It seems that last night he wrote to Brenda Raney, the Executive Director of Corporate Communications, to ask her about her quote and the iPhone.  She just replied to his email, which is really amazing.  She's already getting one new customer, he's on the site right now buying his first iPhone, and I plan on getting one later tonight. (I do have to actually do some work around here. I put that in 'cause I know he's going to read this.)  
    Here's her letter followed by the reference quote:
    I apologize for the inconvenience and the misinformation you received.  I have forwarded your email for training purposes so the next time you or anyone else calls, they get better information about our Global SIM unlock policy.  The quote you included in your email from me is accurate; we will unlock the SIM for global use as long as the criteria are met. The policy isn’t on our website primarily because CDMA technology doesn’t typically use SIM cards and with the introduction of 4G LTE devices which do use SIM cards (that can’t be unlocked), we felt we would confuse customers.  
    When you travel internationally, you need to call Verizon Wireless before you leave the country and request to have international calling added to your account profile and if you want the SIM unlocked, you can request that option at the same time.  Even if you choose to not unlock the SIM, you need to call before you leave the country and add the international calling feature to your phone (there is no charge because this just provides the capability, not a plan).  For global data, you will need to add a data plan.  Keep in mind, that if you choose to purchase a local SIM while out of the country, the SIM brings with it a different phone number so those using your Verizon Wireless number will not be able to reach you directly unless you give them the new phone number.
    Here is the link to our Global Services: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/explore/?page=why-verizon&section=international-services#international-services
    Again, please my apologies for the confusion.

  • HT1688 i got the unlock code from at&t but i don't know how to input the code on the phone to unlock the iphone 4s

    i got the unlock code from at&t but i don't know how to input the code on the phone to unlock the iphone 4s

    There is no "unlock code". If you legitimately unlocked your iPhone via ATT, you will get an email detaling the unlock process, which involves connecting to iTunes. Follow the directions in the email.
    If you used one of those web sites that promise an magical "unlock code" you probably got scammed.

  • HT1937 I buy the iphone5 from France and I go Egypt and I installed a SIM card but the iPhone tell me that the activation failed I rellay donot now what I do

    I buy the iphone5 from France and I go Egypt and I installed a SIM card but the iPhone tell me that the activation failed I rellay donot now what I do

    Sounds like the iPhone is locked to a wireless carrier in France.
    You will have to contact that carrier to see if they offer unlocking
    and if you qualify.
    What is the exact wording of the error message you receive when
    you try to activate the iPhone with your sim from Egypt?

    Only the carrier it's locked to can unlock it. many will not do so unless you are the original owner of the phone.
    Don't do it. Buy a phone from a legitimate source.

    I did turn the contacts back on and it didnt work. I am hoping the wi-fi connection I am on at school is not compatible, and it will work when I get home. Thanks!

  • I have an iphone 5 on contract with 3 but the speaker isn't working , I've spoken with my provider and they said I need to take it back to an apple store .is this correct ? Many thanks

    If you received you phone as part of the contract then surely from a legal pov your contract is with 3 not Apple unless you bought Applecare, if you bought your phone outright then put your 3 SIM into it then yes you'd have to visit an Apple store with your phone's purchase receipt.
