You can call AT&T. If the phone is out of contract they may unlock it for you. Other than that, you won't have much help here as we cannot discuss unauthorized means to unlock the phone.

I have an iphone 4s gifted from a friend but its sim locked in my country
Hi..i have recently been gifted a used iphone4s from a german friend of mine but it is currently locked in the German carrier and i can't use it in my country..(i live in Greece) ..How can i unlock it and be sure that will remain unlocked ?? I have searched and found some stores that can do this job for me but i dont realy trust to pay 50-70 euros for the unlock without having any gurantee of money refund if not working...any1 can help ???
Only the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone or send the unlock request to Apple on the owner's behalf which is done with iTunes after receiving email notification the unlocking process is ready.
Your friend will probably need to help you with this. -
Hey, I've got an iphone from a friend cause it was locked to O2 and she was moving to Spain for 5 years.... How do I change the Apple ID? Appreciate any help! :))
ThankssThank you for responding to my question so promptly! My Apple ID for my iCloud account on my MacBook is the correct (i.e. my @mac.com) email address. Do I need to sign out and then sign back in after I have changed/updated my details on my iPad?
When I look at the 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' details on my iPad under the heading 'Accounts' it first shows my @me.com account and the items under that account are 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Find My iPad' - when I expand the account details it shows that my iCloud Account is actually my @mac.com email adddress.
The second entry is iCloud which is currently my @gmail.com account. Under this account are 'Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Reminders, PhotoStream, Documents & Data, Backup.
The third account is headed Gmail and is, indeed, my @gmail.com account, too. Under this account it shows 'Mail, Calendars, Notes'.
Am I correct in suspecting that the reason for my having multiple occurrences of both events in Calendars and people in Contacts is because more than one account is syncing Contacts and Calendars?
Thank you for your help
Cheers

Hi I cannot sign up to my iCloud account I forgot the password I want to buy some additional GB to my iPad..please help me what to do
Please be aware that you cannot "buy some additional GB to [your] iPad"; the storage capacity of the iPad is fixed at the time of manufacture. You can buy additional iCloud storage, but that's not the same thing.

I need to backup all of the music on my iPhone however I no longer have a computer. Please help!
Hey, this is my first post on Apple Support Communities because I'm usually able to solve any iPhone problem by doing extensive googling... However this time it seems that I've hit a roadblock. To get a decent idea of my situation, here's some basic info and a breakdown of what's been going on:
-I have an iPhone 4S
-Approximately 1 month ago I tried downloading a Gmail app and it got stuck on "Waiting" mode.
-When this first happened I tried to exit out of it during wiggle mode but there was no "X", so I just left it alone.
-Recently I've been noticing my battery has been draining terribly since the app got stuck on waiting, so I've made it a point to try just about every possible solution I could find online (hard reset of the phone, signing in and out of the apple store, checking purchases, resetting all settings, etc.)
-None of these proposed solutions worked, so I made an appointment with the Apple Store. I brought it in yesterday hoping they would be able to do a quick fix, only to find out they could not fix it, and that the only way to get rid of the waiting app battery drain issue would be to completely wipe the phone.
-The main problem I'm having here, however, is that I used to have a computer but it died a little while ago... so I've just been using the iPhone without syncing it to a computer (all of the music I got from CD's is still on my iPhone and I don't want to lose it).
-Since I can't back up my phone with a computer, I backed it up to iCloud last night for the first time. This took about 2 hours, and supposedly was successful, however I then remembered iCloud does not backup the music on your device that came from CD's. The Apple Store employee had told me I could use iTunes Match if I needed to backup all of my music and I no longer had a computer... However I looked into it only to find that you DO need a computer for iTunes Match.
So my question is, how can I backup all of my music without a computer? Is there an app that has been known to do this well? I just want to be able to backup all of my songs right on my iPhone, wipe the phone, and then be able to restore all the music back onto the phone somehow.
Any help or insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer. As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you. I'm sure you'll pay, however.
Let this be a very important lesson learned.

to cut a long story short. I was interested in an i-phone... got the details..checked them all.. on the phone and with the provider, VODAPHONE... told unlocked, not stolen etc etc. proceeded to buy the phone...new sim topped up £10 only to find it wouldn't work...
Went into vodaphone store..been running around following thier advice..(they said I need a friend who is a customer on vodaphone to get passed the unlocking with a vodaphone code.. and they would do it for free given the circumstances...so i run errands go back and forth doing as they asked...got nowhere) SO IT IS NOW A MONTH LATER..and after complaining and complaining to thier email site and repeatedly asking for help in store..I am stumped as what to do and just have a glorified ipod. I WILL NOT BE FORCED TO REMAIN ON THE VODAPHONE NETWORK given the situation they have put me in and thier unwillingness to help so i refuse to use the phone with vodaphone... BUT WHAT can i do PLEASEEEEEEE? all they keep on suggesting is that I get the original owners details but he is not answering anything...and the phone is not registered as stolen etc so what is the problem!?
As you can imagine I am really peeved by the whole thing as I actually carried out all the necessary checks, and whilst the phone was not bought directly from vodaphone, I went to them as the provider, to find otu about unlocking etc as it is always advised to do so..and it was them that gave me the wrong information but they still will not resolve the issue. I have even sent them phone records to confirm when I rung and the name of the invalid who told me the phone was unlocked in the first place. I really would much appreciate any help as they are ignoring my emails now.What I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
This is how O2 function and according to Gemma this is how Vodafone work -
this problem is really annoying and i dont know what to do.! help please!
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
I got a new iphone from a friend but there is a passcode and she dont rem it what do i do
i really need help my iphone broke so i bought one rom a friend but she dont rember her passcode what do i do
To circumvent a forgotten passcode you would need to restore the iPhone to factory settings. This will remove the software and data/content from your iPhone as well.
To put your iPod/iPhone into recovery mode:
1. Make sure the iPod/iPhone is connected to a computer with iTunes installed on it.
2. Hold down the sleep/wake button(top button) and the home button at the same time until the iPod/iPhone screen goes black then shows the apple logo(usually 10-15 seconds).
3. Once the apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding the home button.
4. The ipod/iphone screen should show an itunes logo and usb cable if you were successful. A dialog box will appear in iTunes that states an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode has been detected if you are successful.
5. Click ok, then click the Restore button
After that you should be up and running in no time!
I hope that this is helpful. -
Why att store can not help for unlocking the phone
I followed the instructions to unlock our two old iphones after having iPhone 6. I received "unlock" message for one phone and did not receive the message for other phone. I am not sure if the phone has been unlocked. I went to AT&T store at Bridgewater Commons, NJ. and like to know if it Is unlocked. I was told that they can not tell and I need go to T mobile store to find out. I stopped by T mobile and found out the phone is still locked. So I went back to the AT&T store to try getting help. Because I already tried to unlock this phone three times before. There were 10 ATT people in the store and only two or three customers there. I asked one of employees to tell me what I need to do. I was told that they do not have the service to help unlocking and I need to call customer service. I said to her that you have 10 employees here and why can not help, I would like to speak to the store manager. The store manager Dawn was there and she told me the same thing. They can not help and I need to call the customer service. I kept asking but why you can not help. Finally she said that she can help me to call the customer. She called and the phone was not go through. Finally the employee asked me the phone number and I thought that maybe she will help me to unlock. Actually she just made another unlock request online for me and I need to wait the email in 24 hours and redo the unlock process later. I would to know why att store can not help the customers to unlock their old phones after getting the new phones. Why att keeps 10 employees in one store and can not help to solve customer problems.

AT&T keeps 10 employees at a store in case they need them to assist customers with purchasing items, or with items recently purchased.
The Store representatives can't help you with the unlock portion because it requires access to systems they are not authorized to access. If store employees could access the unlock system (other than the very same portal you can access) then there would be a high risk that there would be inapropriate unlocks by employees for their friends & relatives. AT&T's solution is to not allow them access to those systems, and have everyone go through the same process so that everyone gets the same treatment. If you are having problems with your unlock requests through the portal, try contacting customer support or you can send a private message to the escalation team at ATT Customer Care and someone will get in touch with you in two to three business days to help you get a resolution to your problems.

I would like to buy an ipad for a friend of mine that lives in Santiago,Dominican Republic. How and what do I need to do as far as set up of the ipad to make sure that it functions efficiently and properly in Santiago,Dominican Republic? The availability of wi-fi is not very good, so should I buy an ipad model that has wi-fi and cellular capability? I am quite new to all this technology so I would appreciate it very much if someone can explain step by by step and in simple terms how the ipad needs to be set up to work in this country.
The Smart Cover only protects the front screen. You'll get scratches on the back plus it provides no protection for a small drop.
I added a screen protector as it was cheap insurance protection.
For my iPad 2, I bought an Adesso case/keyboard model WKB-2000CD http://www.adesso.com/en/component/content/article/49-coming-soon/455-wkb-2000cd .html Works great & looks good. The keyboard is easier to use than Apple's on-screen keyboard. Do a Google search using the model number to get the best price. About the same price as Apple's covers & it covers the whole iPad. Although the new iPad is slightly thicker, it should fit this case.

I just recently purchased a iPhone 4. I am using it as Prepaid for Verizon. I only get a certain amount of data time, and was trying to use the wifi at my house in order to do somethings online without using my prepaid data, but for some reason it will not pick up the wifi at all, and when i try all the different things I have been told to try it still does not work, how do I get the wifi to work?
You didn't say what you have already tried, but if you haven't already done so, power-cycle your router (unplug it for 15 seconds then plug it back in), then on your phone go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings, then try joining your wifi again.
