Can Apple unlock a phone under certain circumstances?

My friend recently committed suicide and the reasons were unknown, we are hoping to get some answers from her iPhone but it is locked.  Can apple help under these circumstances?

Thanks for your advice.  The problem is the family attempted to unlock the phone too many times and now the phone is disabled.  Can Apple still try to recover

  • HT201328 My carrier refuses to unlock my Iphone under any circumstances.  Can Apple help me?

    I purchased my Iphone 4 outright, without a contract from the Japanese Carrier Softbank.  That means I paid the entire price upfront.  They refuse to unlock the Iphone under any circumstances, despite the fact I am no longer in Japan.
    Can Apple help me?  I've checked out some unlocking services online, but the price seems a bit too high.
    Thanks,
    J.

    No, Apple cannot help. Only the network to which the phone is locked can unlock it (if they choose to).
    Nobody else can legitimately unlock it. Other services that claim to offer unlocks are hacks, void the warranty and prevent you from updating the phone OS in the future.

    The ONLY source of unlocked iPhones in UK is Apple retail Stores ( Apple owned )
    all others will be locked to a carrier (did you buy from carphonewarehouse )
    Only the carrier who locked it can unlock the iPhone
    Apple do NOT unlock iPhones
    If you purchased from Apple (the Apple ) then contact the store
    if not it is locked to a carrier

    No. Only the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can unlock it.

  • Is it possible that apple can factory unlock my phone?

    Is it possible that apple can factory unlock my phone? i bought it last year in america and i am currently in South Africa and it's just gathering dust.

    Apple does not unlock phones. Only the original cellular provider can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact them.  If it is AT&T, they do not provide unlocking, ever.

    I use find my iphone but by mistake I locked it so how can I unlock the phone.

    If it has been Disabled after entering the wrong passcode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
    Unfortunately, you must restore it in iTunes on your computer.   There is no way to retrieve a forgotten pass lock code.
    You will need to Restore your device from the same computer that you most recently synced to. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

  • How can i unlock my phone when its registered to some one eles?

    I brought the 5s about 2 weeks ago when to turn it on and use it but found out I carnt because the phone is still registered to the person I got it off.
    Iv tried to contact them and nothing what do I do?
    Can apple unlock this for me or do I jus scrap it?

    The previous owner has to deactivate the Activation Lock. Otherwise the phone can't be used anymore, check this article about it:
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock
    Apple can't do anything about that, sorry.

    Apple doesn't unlock phones. You will need to contact the original cellular provider to determine if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.

  • Will Apple Unlock a phone that has been reported as stolen?

    Will Apple Unlock a phone that has been reported as stolen? My network provider has registered the iphone's IMEI as stolen; therefore I'm assuming that it will need to be unlocked by Apple...?

    The Phone was not locked to a specific network provider .... as I purchased the phone independently.
    I only have a SIM contract with the network provider, but the said that they would barr the SIM and then the phone using the IMEI. They said hat anyone wanting to use the phone would need to request an un-barr using the IMEI. Would request be made to my network provider .... can then then pass these details on?

  • Can't unlock my phone using the touch screen on my LG Cosmos Touch

    Hi,
    I can't unlock my phone using the touch screen on my LG Cosmos Touch. Which means I can't access the calender, recent calls, and the other features on the phone. The only thing I can do is slide the phone when I need to answer a call or send a text. I'm not sure what the problem is.  I also don't want to pull the battery out and re insert it because I think if I do that, my phone will lock up permanently.  Will someone help me please?
    Thanks,
    Mackenzie

    My phone was run over. It still works enough to see some of the screen but not the number pad. I cannot unlock the phone because I activated find my iphone. How can I unlock the phone so I can save my photos? Is there a way to unlock it from find my iphone. It was not backed up in iCloud. When I plug it into my computer, the computer tells me that I have to unlock it first. Help?

    No I haven't synced my iPhone with the computer I'm currently using. The computer that I normally sync my iPhone with is being repaired.
    I read a nearly identical question to mine (in which you answered) and I found my the answer. Thanks!
    Now I have a few more questions: If I mail my broken iPhone to Asurion, will I be able to get my data off of my iPhone once Asurion has it? And what will happen to my old iPhone and the data on it if I activate my replacement iPhone? Will my broken iPhone just become de-activated and will the data be erased or lost or something? Could I still sync it (with the computer ir originally synced with) and back up the data?
    Thanks.

  • HT1688 How can I unlock my phone to be used in the middle east?

    I have an I phone 5 without a contract.

    You cannot unlock an iPhone, only the carrier it is locked to can unlock it.  Contact your carrier for assistance with unlocking.

  • Samples Not Acquired on NI 660x or NI 6624 Devices When using pulse width, semi-period or two-edge separation buffered measurements with the NI 660x and NI 6624 on counters 0 and 1, some samples may not be acquired under certain circumstances.

    In the DAQmx 9.4 Readme the following is stated:
    Samples Not Acquired on NI 660x or NI 6624 Devices When using pulse width, semi-period or two-edge separation buffered measurements with the NI 660x and NI 6624 on counters 0 and 1, some samples may not be acquired under certain circumstances.
    Could anyone elaborate on this? I am particularly interested in knowing under what circumstances this problem arises for the 6602 PCI devices.
    How should I understand 'NI 660x and NI 6624 on counters 0 and 1'. Is it only a problem on counter 0 and 1 for the 660x or does this only apply for the 6624 devices.
    /mola 

    Are there any NI Product Support Engineers out there who has an answer to this question and who are willing to share it with me?
