3rd party unlocking replacement??

Hello there.
I'm just curious about something. If I unlock my phone through the carrier, and I go and get a replacement phone, one way or another, I'll be able to get a unlocked replacement.
But, will this work if I unlock it through a 3rd party? Will apple see the phone is unlocked and give me a new one?
iPhone 5, iOS6 16GB.
Thank you in advance.

No, they are not doing the same thing as the carrier. Carrier sends
a message to Apple where a database of unlocked iPhones is maintained.
The iPhone verifies itself against this database during activation.
3rd party unlock hacks the software on the iPhone to temporarily appear as unlocked.
This usually results in the iPhone being relocked to the original carrier
during the next update or restore, and frequently results in the iPhone becoming
a useless brick. Such hacks often prevent a legitimate unlock from
completing successfully.

I lost my upgrade eligibility after activating phone bought 3rd party to replace broken phone to get me by until my upgrade date (2 months after phone broke), is this right?

My Iphone 4 broke 2 months before my upgrade date and I bought another iphone 4 from a friend to get me by until then. I activated it and thought all was gravy until I go to upgrade to an Iphone 5s. It says my upgrade isn't for 2 more years from the activation date of the phone I bought 3rd party. I'm very upset about this and would like to get to the bottom of this. I've tried talking to sales reps both in person and at the store and they acted like deer in headlights about the issue. Should I ask for a copy of my upgrade history? I'm very tempted to end my contract if this cannot be resolved.

What's a good 3rd party iPhoto replacement?

I have a large number of slideshows which I’ve made with iPhoto 7.1.5 to which I have applied carefully-adjusted effects settings and music for each slide. They are as perfect as I can get them for my usage. I have tried both importing as well as totally re-doing some of them from scratch in iPhoto 9.1.3 with no success. My settings will not stick in 9.1.3 (yes I have looked at all the other posts and tried the fixes offered in this forum but to no avail) and I do not like the theme based format at all. I like full screen slides with ONLY the settings and syncronization that I have applied to each slide, all of which has worked perfectly for me in 7.1.5.
My great fear is that although my present iMac has and is working perfectly, one day I will have to replace it and whatever new one I get might most likely not run iPhoto 7.1.5 so all of my work could be lost.
I am prepared to drop iPhoto usage altogether and work with a good third party application that will allow me to individually set my slides as I want them set without forcing me to use some theme or other (as the new iPhoto and some third party apps seem to do) and to which I can perfectly synchronize music to the flow of the slides just like I’m able to do in 7.1.5.
My question then is what would be a good third party application for this purpose? Again I am perfectly willing to redo all of the shows from scratch in that new app if it will work the way I’ve described.
Thanks to all for reading this lengthy post :-)

Hello Steven,
As promised I’m letting you know my decision on replacing iPhoto with Aperture for making slideshows. I’m going with Aperture. As a test I imported the iPhoto 7.1.5 pictures from two of my longest and most complex slideshows (no problem at all with that) so as to give Aperture a good tryout. Using the “Classic” mode when choosing themes (actually no theme at all) I was able to very easily rebuild the two shows I was testing. In those two shows each slide is individually timed to the phrases and tempo of the musical background, no easy task in iPhoto 7 but a cinch in Aperture. I noticed a close resemblance to iPhoto 11 ( the newest version) in setting those individual slides, but with Aperture all of the settings I made actually stuck! That was my main frustration with the newest iPhoto and was the reason I was looking for a replacement in the first place.
All of the effects used for each individual slide were also easy to redo. So the remaking of slideshows from iPhoto is not at all difficult; that is once you’ve figured out the way things are done in Aperture. That took a little time and was occasionally frustrating. I found that just quitting for awhile and resuming the job later was very helpful but once learned, it’s just fine. There is a downloadable PDF manual, which is more or less helpful, but digging in and getting to work on a project is still the best way to learn the application . . . for me, that is ;-)
Although I use Photoshop Elements for processing my shots before using them in slideshows I found that it’s really handy to use Aperture’s many photo retouching tools on the fly when building slideshows. Something that is very limited in iPhoto. It’s possible that some people may find that those built-in tools are all they need for spiffing up their photos with no need for other applications for that purpose. In my case, I’ll stick with PE for that if for no other reason than that I’m used to using it (and also already have it :-) ).
There are lots of other features available in Aperture that I haven’t yet checked out but that will be something for me to play with later once I get all my slideshows transferred over.
For TD, thanks again for the tip on PhotoToMovie. I gave it a try also but found that it played havoc with the quality of my photos. Once I saw that, I stopped checking it out. Too bad since it is about a quarter of the price of Aperture.

IPhone 5 Factory Unlocked 3rd Party Replacement from Apple

Hi,
I bought an iPhone 5 from Rogers Factory unlocked to make it work with all carriers from a third party vendor. Now I have an issue with a power button, if I retun it to apple will they give me a replacement phone as a Rogers unit or a Factory unlocked unit. Please let me know because this unlock costed me $150 I don't want to unlock another iPhone if apple give me a replaceent as a Rogers phone.
Thanks, looking forward to your replies

If the power button issue is a hardware issue, the only option from Apple is to replace it. Apple does not perform hardware repairs to any iOS device (never has done so) - they replace defective devices instead (and send the turned in one back to Foxconn in China for refurbishment or recycling).
Apple's strict policy is also to replace a defective iPhone with an exact duplicate one - so if your phone was purchased locked to Rogers, and you did NOT get it unlocked by Rogers, then you will get a Rogers locked iPhone in exchange.
There is no such thing as a legitimate 3rd party unlocking - only the carrier an iPhone is sold locked to has the authority to officially unlock it. Anybody else offering "unlocking" services is hacking the firmware, and such activity is not recognized by Apple when replacing defective phones.

SCUP2011 - SCCM2012 SP1 CU4: 3rd party updates fail to install with SoftDistHashMismatchEvent

We publish 3rd party updates like Adobe Flash, Shockwave, Firefox with SCUP 2011 into WSUS.
These 3rd party updates are imported/synchronized into our SCCM 2012 SP1 (CU4) environment and deployed to the clients/servers.
But all of these 3rd party fail to install. Software Center returns the following error: The software change returned error code 0x80091007(-2146889721).
The standard Microsoft Updates are downloaded and installed without any error.
The 3rd party updates are downloaded by the client, but are deleted after checking the hash because of a hash mismatch (SoftDistHashMismatchEvent).

The strange thing is that 3rd party updates are downloaded/installed succesfully when using the Windows Update Control Panel applet, while WSUS and SCCM2012 are installed on the same server!
Our environment uses PKI only for communication/authentication, because we manage multiple untrusted networks
All servers are virtual servers (VMWare ESXi 5.5) with Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 + latest updates.
I already performed the following trouble-shooting tasks without any success:
- I reinstalled the different Site System Roles.
- Removed the SCCM client from the SCCM database and client and reinstalled
- Removed the anti-virus software
- Redeployed the 3rd party updates
- Replaced the E1000 NICs with VMXNET3 (server and client)
- Ensured no proxy between server and client
- Downloading and installing the 3rd party updates manually from the specified download locations
(e.g.
http://sccm.mydomain.local:8530/Content/32/04B9361CDC426D2DBC94B90A7BB0172CAE84D532.cab or
http://sccm.mydomain.nl/SMS_DP_SMSPKG$/fea1aeb3-af1a-45aa-b464-4f90422b4720) succeeds without a error.
I really don't know what's going wrong.
Is it a bug?

Replacing the glossy screen with a 3rd party anti-glare or matte

I had my credit card ready to purchase 2 iMacs (finally rplacing our two G5's), until I realized that the anti-glare option with the 15" and 17" MBP would not be carried over to the iMacs. So I was wondering if anyone know of a third party with an option to replace the glossy screen with either a matte or an anti-glare screen. Would this void any warranty?

Open letter to Apple:
Let me first say, I'm a long-time, loyal Mac user (and defender). My first experience with Apple was in elementary school - on the Apple IIE. I created a game using DOS code in grade 5.
My father was a high school teacher and brought home a Mac Plus when I was in high school. The "Paint" program that it came installed with initiated my humble beginnings as digital designer - even on the small black and white screen, with it's limited capabilities, I could see the potential. We were always a Mac family. When my mother finally retired, I talked her into getting the same 24" white IMac I currently have, because that way I could walk her through the setting up and use of it, and now we can skype each other and it's like she's here in the room with me, not a whole province away.
I even had a Mac as a single mom struggling as a full time Communication Design student at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. My young daughter and I lived off my student loans, but they weren't enough to buy a Mac, so I asked my dad to co-sign a student line of credit so I could get a Mac to be compatible with the computers at school. This was the only way I could take my homework home and work while my daughter slept. I sacrificed a lot to have a Mac. We sacrificed.
Skip ahead about a decade, I have my own small graphic design business, I currently have 3 Mac computers: I have a 24" white Imac as my main business tool; I have a titanium laptop for meetings and presentations, and a white Macbook laptop that my high school-aged daughter uses for school and socializing.
I am now at the point in my growing business that it is finally time to upgrade all of my equipment. I've been excitedly holding out for the newest Imac release. I went in to our local BestBuy a few weeks ago to buy my new 27" fully loaded Imac (hey I've worked hard, why not splurge a little?) As I walked up to the Mac display and finally laid eyes on my long awaited dream machine, all I could see was the shocked and betrayed look on my face reflected in the shiny surface of the screen. I nearly cried, I was so disappointed. All I could think was "How could you? "
What is the point of having the shiny screen? I feel so betrayed, so foolish, for sticking with Apple through thick and thin for nearly a quarter of a century. I have invested thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars in Apple products, peripherals, and MAC compatible software for all of my Macs. Adobe CS3, Microsoft Office, 3rd party applications, Mac compatible fonts, and even games. I have purchased protection plans, extra RAM, home insurance and back-up devices for my Macs. I was invested in you, Apple. So what now? Will my hard earned savings now go toward buying the new PC software needed to convert my business to PCs?
The graphics industry, for a large part, has kept Apple going all these years. We have paid the premium for our Apples, and we have just been stabbed in the back by Apple. On behalf of the entire graphic design community in North America, Apple, please offer us a matte screen option on all your new computers.

IPhone 4 on Orange UK, getting unlocked. (3rd party options query)

Hi,
I have recenty bought an iPhone 4 off a friend, unfortunatey it is on Orange and i am an O2 customers. Trying to get it unlocked through Orange UK is probably the hardest and most stupid way ever to attempt to get it done.
I dont understand how a third party IMEI unlocking service can unlock the code, albeit at an inflated price so quickly and effectively, yet Orange UK, struggle to answer your simplest of questions, instead refering to what seems like a standard, robotic answering service.
I bought this phone 3 weeks ago, and have been trying to get it unlocked ever since. I have looked into Jailbreaking the device and getting it "unofficialy" unlocked, but this option is unaviable to me as i have baseband 04.12.05. and to be honest, i'd prefer it to be done legitimately and without me having to worry about it crashing and not up to date software updates etc.
Im sure that there have been MANY people out there that have had, or are having the same problem as myself, and are looking for a quicker solution than taking out an Orange UK contract for 3 months and waiting for them to unlock it for another month. I think this service is frankly idiotic and their policy should be changed.
If this is the ONLY way to have it OFFICIALLY IMEI UNLOCKED through Orange UK, how can a third party do it?
Any help would be appreciated in helping me unlock my iPhone so i can use it for what i bought it for, not a ipod!!
many thanks,
Steve P

They can not do so. At least not legally.
The 3rd party services that do manage to do it do so by using an insider at a supported carrier to submit th IMEI numbers of phones through a carrier to Apple for unlocking. They are almost always eventually found out and any phones they determine were unlocked fraudulently will be re-locked.
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can legally authorize unlocking it.

I have a MacBook Pro laptop purchased in June 2011, and the superdrive no longer works. Rather than have it replaced, I'll buy a 3rd party superdrive that plugs into the USB port. Does it need it's own power source, or will the USB port suffice?

I have a MacBook Pro laptop purchased in June 2011, and the superdrive no longer works. Rather than have it replaced, I'll buy a 3rd party superdrive that plugs into the USB port. Does the external superdrive need it's own power source, or will the USB port provide enough power?

The Apple external SuperDrive actually exceeds the allowed power draw. Because of this, it is only trouble-free on certain models that accommodate this excess.
All others require an external Power source.

How to unlock iPhone 4s bought from 3rd party Carphone Warehouse UK

Hi everyone!
Hope you can help?
I purchased an iPhone 4s from Carphone Warehouse UK with an Orange contract. I am traveling to the USA shortly and I would like to use a local SIM card whilst out there as it will dramatically reduce my cost for data etc.
I contacted Orange to unlock my phone. They initially said that they could do it, but when they pulled my details up they said that because I purchased my iPhone through a 3rd party (Carphone Warehouse) and that the handset was not 'Orange branded' that they were unable to do it! I will need to contact Apple to unlock it.
I rang Apple and they said categorically that they do not unlock phones and it is the responsibility of the network to unlock the handset.
I rang Orange back with Apples response. They still said that they could not do it. I tried to reason with them, explaining that I wanted to get unlocked from THEIR network. But apparently its the phone that gets unlocked and not the network?
I decided to go back to my point of purchase. Carphone Warehouse said that they don't unlock phones and that it was a very 'grey' area. They said, that what ever SIM card is initially inserted into the handset, it automatically locks to that network? They didn't like to confirm who is responsible to unlock the phone (Orange or Apple) but they were leaning more toward Apple.
So my questions are:
Has anybody else had the same problem?
Has anybody else resolved this issue?
If this is not possible, can anybody offer any alternatives, other than roaming bundles etc, as they are still expensive?
Thank you all very much for reading this, I hope to hear from you soon,
Ceri

ONLY Orange can unlock your iphone. No one else at all. ONLY Orange.
Locking and unlocking is at the sole discretion of the carrier.
You will need to keep taking to Orange.

HP AiO remote doesn't recognize 3rd party toner as compatible in LaserJet M1217nfw MFP

Hi,
I have a HP Envy 17 running Windows 8.1, a MacBook Air, an iPhone and a HP LaserJet M1217nfw MFP. I recently replaced the toner with a 3rd party replacement cartridge and while the printer does give me a "supply memory error" I am still able to print just fine from the Mac and my phone. I am unable however to print from my Envy. The HP All-in-One Remote app in Windows 8 gives me an "incompatible cartridge" message and says there are no solutions availble. Is there a work-around to this?
I am not very good at Windows 8....
Thanks

Hi Thaddeus,
Although the printer may resoponse to some commands, a supply memory error is an error state about the used cartridge.
Due the error message on the screen the HP AIO Remote recognize the cartridge as incompatible, that cannot be bypassed
with any settings, resolving the issue which cause the error message is the only key to resolve a such.
If the HP AiO Remote fails to print in such condition the only solution is to fully resolve the condition by following the steps listed in my previous post.

How can I use a 3rd party XML parser such as xerces with OC4J ?

Hi all tech experts,
I am using Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) and i have
installed Portal and Wireless and OracleAS Infrastructure on the same
computer.
i tried all the solutions on this thread
Use of Xerces Parser in out application with Oracle App Server 9.0.4
but still fighting.
I have also posted this query on OTN on following thread
How can I use a 3rd party XML parser such as xerces with OC4J?
but no reply....
Please help me on this issue.
Since OC4J is preconfigured to use the Oracle XML parser which is xmlparserv2.jar.
i have read the following article which states that
OC4J is preconfigured to use the Oracle XML parser. The Oracle XML parser is fully JAXP 1.1 compatible and will serve the needs of applications which require JAXP functionality. This approach does not require the download, installation, and configuration of additional XML parsers.
The Oracle XML parser (xmlparserv2.jar) is configured to load as a system level library of OC4J through it's inclusion as an entry in the Class-Path entry of the oc4j.jar Manifest.mf file. This results in the Oracle XML parser being used for all common deployment and packaging situations. You are not permitted to modify the Manifest.mf file of oc4j.jar.
It must be noted that configuring OC4J to run with any additional XML parser or JDBC library is not a supported configuration. We do know customers who have managed to successfully replace the system level XML parser and the Oracle JDBC drivers that ship with the product, but we do not support this type of configuration due to the possibility of unexpected system behavior and system errors that might occur from replacing the tested and certified libraries.
If you absolutely must use an additional XML parser such as xerces, then you have to start OC4J such that the xerces.jar file is loaded at a level above the OC4J system classpath. This can be accomplished using the -Xbootclasspath flag of the JRE.
i have also run the following command
java -Xbootclasspath/a:d:\xerces\xerces.jar -jar oc4j.jar
but no success.
How could i utilize my jar's like xerces.jar and xalan.jar for parsing instead of OC4J in-built parser ?
All reply will be highly appreciated.
Thnx in advance to all.

Hi Neeraj Sidhaye,
I am trying to deploy a sample xform application to the Oracle Application Server (10.1.3). However, I encountered the class loader issue that is similar to your stuation. I tried all the three solutions but the application is still use the Oracle xml paser class. I am wondering if you have any insight about this?
Thanks for your help.

Is there a 3rd Party Solution for Adobe's lack of recover for unsaved work?

Time and time again I am baffled by Adobe's inability or refusal to make the user experience consistent across it's entire Creative Suite.
I am repeatedly shocked by the punitive error messages I receive in Photoshop. It's as though you don't really care what the user wants, I mean what are we going to do, use MS Paint? So you are at liberty to provide such classic errors as "Unable to complete your request because of a program error" instead of "wait, did you mean apply that filter to the only visible layer that you had selected just seconds before and never requested that the layer be de-selected?" I could go on and on with the crazy and convoluted exceptions to logic in Photoshop, but I would rather just understand why, when you know that a problem exists and affects 90% of your users at some point, why wouldn't you try to build in some form of recovery when your program crashes
Why should I be punished for relying on your program not to crash when I am working on something? I have repeatedly been advised that the best solution is to save often. Sometimes that's not an option and why should it be my responsibility to compensate for your buggy program?
After 20 years of development, you can't figure out how to recover someone's work if they haven't been able to save for some reason and Phtooshop crashes? I have been using Photoshop since Version 3 (for sure, but more likely version 2) and back then you could rename your temp files and recover the work you hadn't saved. I understand that the mechanism by which fast previews (comps) of your work are displayed but not applied (like Live Image), but why isn't it possible to store a simple text file that could retrace my steps if your program crashes?
This is a real problem if you are processing a filter that takes 30 minutes and Photoshop waits until 29 minutes and 59 seconds to announce that it stopped working. Granted you can see your document in the background, but you can't save it? You can't commit whatever is in RAM for the undo states to disk? You can't have your program quickly save a new text file with the list of commands applied between saves? You can't do anything? After 20 years?
Microsoft includes recovery in Word, Excel, etc. Even SOME Adobe programs do it: InDesign...AfterEffects. Why doesn't your flagship program do it?
It's frustrating beyond belief and it baffles me that Adobe is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Photoshop and yet this basic, basic customer need is still not effectively addressed and furthermore, any question about it is answered with indignant indifference:
it doesn't work and we don't care what you want,
think you'd be happier with our competition....
oh wait, we don't really have any competition...
maybe you should save more often...
Is there a 3rd party solution that will allow me to recover my work in Photoshop when it crashes between saves? Or am I just stuck having to cope with rebuilding my work because Adobe refuses to provide a solution.
(let the backlash begin as I try to simulate my lens blur using MS Paint....not gonna happen)

Go to google and search for keyboard recording software. That will record all of your keystrokes.
CS4 running under windows 7 appearently has some problems. While it would be nice if Adobe went back and rewrote there software for an operating system that was in early development when CS4 was released, it is not likely to happen.
Excuse me, they did it is called Adobe Photoshop CS5 and is due to be release soon.
If, If you would stop ranting for a minute, and quit feeling like you are being slammed, and possibly listen for a minute.
I am currently running Windows Vista Home Premium "not my choice" on a Toshiba A215-S4747 with 3gb ram. When I bought this laptop the Toshiba Rep was at the Best Buy and I spoke with him about this very computer. I did not want to run Windows Vista, period, I had heard to many bad reports about it. The Toshiba Rep told me that was not a problem and this computer would run Windows XP Professional just fine.
So I bought this computer and 2gb of ram as it only came with 512mb. I went home happly and proceeded to install Windows XP Pro and the new memory. Guess what?
this computer will in fact run Windows XP Pro just fine as long as you take into consideration that there are almost no hardware drivers for the periferals that make up this computer.
So I reinstall Windows Vista and for the next year I am tied into fits because of system crashes. Finally I am at the point that I am going to take this computer to the Toshiba Office in Torrance California and personally give it back to them "I was going to throw it through the front office window.".
Just before I ran across memtest and I downloaded it and tested my memory. You got it I had a defective ram chip.
Best Buy replaced the chip no problem. that was in November of 2008. I do horrible things to this computer, I really can drive it. It has not crashed once since I found and fixed the problem.
No one is suggesting that you are an idiot! or inexperienced. but no matter what you do remember 2 very simple rules.
If you run into a problem 1. "Go Back To Basics" and 2. "KISS ie: keep it simple stupid" if you do this and I am speaking from my own experience you will find like and work a lot simpler and more pleasent.

Can I move an iTunes library from Comp1 to Comp2 through Home Sharing? What happens with the first sync? What happens to 3rd party app data (specifically, game scores/levels)?

I need to move an iTunes library from Computer 1 to Computer 2. Can I do this through Home Sharing, by dragging and dropping library items from one to the other? The library consists of iTunes purchases, home shared items and music/movies from our personal collection. Both computers have had all the accounts authorized, so I don't anticipate an issue there. I'd like to do this so that my son's ipod is impacted as little as possible -- specifically, his game scores/levels and other 3rd party data remain intact after the 1st sync and the organization of his icons remain intact.
Is there a way to do this smoothly and easily, protecting his ipod data/organization?

Sorry, I obviously wasn't clear. If you replicate the library from Computer 1 to Computer 2 by copying it, then all will be well. I routinely sync my iPhone and iPad both at home and at work using a single library that I migrate between the two locations via an external drive which is kept up do date using SyncToy.
Backup the iPod touch on Computer 1.
Copy the entire iTunes folder from Computer 1 to Computer 2, replacing any existing iTunes folder on Computer 2.
Check that content is accessible in the migrated library. (Won't be a problem for a standard iTunes library where all the content is inside the iTunes Media folder which in turn is inside your iTunes folder).
Connect iPod touch to Computer 2.
Sync.
In the unlikely event that something goes wrong (it won't) then you can connect the device back to Computer 1 to restore it.
Note device backups are not stored within the iTunes library and stay on the machine on which they were created. It is theorectically possible to migrate them but there isn't really any point. Once you have synced the iPod with the copy of the library on Computer 2 then Computer 2 will make its own backup of the device.
