Can I buy a device only iPhone 5 using the reservation system?

Numerous sources including TechCrunch and Cult of Mac are reporting that if you buy an off-contract iPhone 5 on AT&T, all you have to do to get it factory unlocked is restore it. I have an iPhone 4 on T-Mobile and really want to upgrade, and now knowing this, I want to try to get an off contract phone rather than wait for the official unlocked devices. Is there any way I can get a device only iPhone 5 without just walking into an Apple store and trying my luck (or buying one for an exorbitant price on eBay)?

Apple in UK only sells (by default ) unlocked iPhone 5
You can then use any nano sim with it
prices on Apple UK site and online orders now shipping in October
Get to the front of the queue at an Apple store on Thursday night
and you may be lucky
Ony EE will ever support the 5 on 4G network

  • Can two people with their own iPhones use the same computer and iTunes?

    Can two people with their own iPhones use the same computer and iTunes?

    Yes. My wife and I each have our own Apple ID and used the same computer to sync our phones with iTunes. The best way to do this is set up separate user accounts on the computer. If you are logged in to your account on the computer and your wife wants to sync here phone, you would log out and she would log in. These keeps all your stuff separate and avoids a ton of confusion.

  • Is it possible to activate the vibration on an iPad or iPhone using the DPS system?

    I have a client that has a sensor in a helmet which vibrates when you go into zones you aren't supposed to be in. I was thinking to emulate this in an advert using DPS and I wondered how that might be achieved?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    We don't provide access to the device vibration APIs.

  • Can i buy CMAN license only for SE

    Hi
    I am on 9ir2 Standard edition
    can i buy a license only to use CMAN (connection manager) , there is no budget to upgrade from SE to enterprise for just the CMAN
    Thanks

    Adobe no longer sells CS4, outside of the exceptional cases of After Effects CS4 & Premiere Pro CS4.
    For other CS4 products, if you really need them, your best bet is to check Adobe's authorized resellers.
    A quick Amazon search turned up some available CS4 inventory.  Just be sure what you're buying and installing is genuine and authentic, as there are a lot of fake copies out there now with hidden malware.
    Hope this helps!

    Also...
    It is Prudent to purchase the Phone in the Country it is intended for use in... It will then work as expected.
    AND...
    iPhone Warranty  >  The warranty is only valid in the country of original purchase... Except for EU Countries...

  • I have 2 iCloud accounts. 3 devices use one of them as a primary account; my iPhone uses the other as a primary account so I can't stream photos from iPhone etc. What to do?

    I have 2 iCloud accounts. 3 devices use one of them as a primary account; my iPhone uses the other as a primary account so I can't stream photos from iPhone etc. What to do?

    Sorry, yes indeed you can do that, I thought you wanted to keep the accounts the way they are now and also share photo stream between all devices, which of course is not possible.
    In order to login to the account you are currently logged in to as a secondary account, as a primary account, and vice versa, you will need to delete both accounts from that device and then log back into them with the correct account as a primary (settings > iCloud) and the correct account as a secondary (settings > mail, contacts, calendars).

  • I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends.  She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it

    I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends.  She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it.  Really need some help.  Shouldnt her apps and details be saved online in the itunes store?  Even her apps wont appear

    If you create an Apple ID for your daughter, signing out of the existing Apple ID with the iTunes & App Store on her iPhone will not change anything on your iPhone.
    All apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
    If she starts using her Apple ID to download apps, when there is an app update for an app on her iPhone that was downloaded with the current shared Apple ID, she will need to use that Apple ID and password to download the app updates.

  • If I buy a Sim free iPhone in the UK will I be abel to use it on PAYG in Australia?

    If I buy a Sim free iPhone in the UK will I be abel to use it on PAYG in Australia? Or will in need jailbreaking? And what does this even mean?!
    Also, I'll still have a UK SIM (vodafone) that I'll want to check from time to time - will this work?
    thanks

    The iPhone4 and 4S use a microsim about half the size of the normal sim
    You would have to get replacements for your old sims to use a iPhone4/4S
    and no unlocked is unlocked will work anywhere with a GSM sim
    people use jailbreaking to get round not having an unlocked iPhone
    Go to an UK Apple Store
    you can reserve the night before online so you don't have a wasted journey
    http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/iphone/
    UK Apple stores only sell unlocked iPhones
    They will sell you one with a contract but you will have to go through a contract sign up process etc etc so there is no scope for error

  • Can't able to syn own videos iPhone using the new version of iTunes 12.0.1

    Can't able to syn own videos to iPhone using the new version of iTunes 12.0.1

    Hi Hamedkhan,
    Happy New Year!  The resources below will show you how to sync your home videos to your iPhone using iTunes 12 for Windows:
    iTunes 12 for Windows: Syncing overview
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH20342?viewlocale=en_US
    Do I have to sync?
    If you have iPod classic, iPod nano, or iPod shuffle: You have to sync your device with iTunes. There’s no other way to add content to it. 
    If you have an iOS device (iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad): You only need to sync your device with iTunes if you want to: 
    Add your iTunes playlists to your device (unless you subscribe to iTunes Match) 
    Add your own videos to your device
    Add photos, contacts, and calendars to your device (if you don’t use iCloud) 
    Remove previously synced items from your device
    If you prefer not to sync, you don’t have to: you can download items from the iTunes Store directly to your device, and—if you have a free iCloud account—use iCloud to make sure items like your photos, contact, and calendars are on both your computer and device.
    iTunes 12 for Windows: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH20343?viewlocale=en_US
    iTunes 12 for Windows: Sync iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    To add items on your computer to your iPod, iPhone, or iPad, you sync them using iTunes. You can have iTunes sync items automatically (which is the quickest option), or drag items to your device manually (which gives you more control)—or you can do both. You can also remove items from your device automatically or manually. 
    For more information about syncing, see Syncing overview. 
    Select items to sync automatically
    Connect your device to your computer and click the device button near the top left of the iTunes window.
    Select the type of content you want to sync (for example, Music or Apps) in the sidebar on the left.
    Select the Sync checkbox, then select the items you want to sync automatically each time you connect your device.
    Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each type of content you want to include on your device.
    The bar at the bottom of the window shows how much space will remain on your device after you sync.
    By default, iTunes syncs your device whenever you connect it to your computer. If you want to have iTunes ask you before syncing, do one of the following: 
    Require a prompt before syncing this device: Click Summary, then deselect “Open iTunes when this [device] is connected.” 
    Require a prompt before syncing all devices: Choose Edit > Preferences, click Devices, and select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.” 
    When you’re ready to sync, click Apply.
    Tip:    To automatically sync a connected device at any time, choose File > Devices > Sync [device name]. 
    WARNING:    If you delete an automatically synced item from your iTunes library, the deleted item is removed from your device the next time you sync. 
    Add items to your device manually
    You can manually add music, movies, TV shows, apps, podcasts, and iTunes U lessons to your device. You can’t manually add photos, books, contacts, or other info. 
    Make sure your device is connected.
    From anywhere in your iTunes library, begin dragging the items you want to add.
    A pane with a list of connected devices appears on the left.
    Drag the items to your device in the list until a blue border appears.
    The items are added to your device.
    Keep items from being automatically synced
    If there are some items you never want synced (for example, if they’re too big to fit on your device), you can keep them from being synced. 
    You can also turn off automatic syncing for music, movies, and TV shows. You must do this if you want to sync iPod classic, iPod nano, or iPod shuffle with more than one iTunes library, or automatically fill your device with songs using Autofill (see the next task, below). 
    Connect your device to your computer.
    Click the device button, then click Summary.
    Do any of the following:
    Keep individual items from being synced: Select “Sync only checked [items].” Then, deselect the checkbox next to any items in your iTunes library that you don’t want synced. 
    Turn off automatic syncing for music, movies, and TV shows: Select “Manually manage music and videos.” 
    Click Apply.
    Fill your device with a random selection of songs using Autofill
    If you don’t want to always hear the same music on your device, you can have iTunes fill it with a random selection of songs by using Autofill. 
    To use Autofill, you must turn off automatic syncing for music and videos (see instructions above).
    Connect your device to your computer and click the device button near the top left of the iTunes window.
    Click On My Device.
    Select Music in the sidebar on the left.
    Choose which songs you want to sync from the Autofill pop-up menu at the bottom of the Music pane.
    To adjust Autofill settings, click Settings.
    When you’re done, click OK.
    Click Autofill, then click Sync.
    Each time you use Autofill, iTunes adds different songs to your device.
    Remove items from your device
    Make sure your device is connected, then do one of the following:
    Remove an item that was synced automatically: Do any of the following, then sync your device: 
    Deselect the checkbox for the item in your iTunes library, and select “Sync only checked [items]” in the Summary pane. 
    If the item was added because it’s part of a synced playlist, remove the item from the playlist. 
    Change your sync settings to keep the item from being synced.
    Remove an item that was added manually or using Autofill: Click On My Device, select an item (or items), press the Delete key, and click Delete. 
    The types of content you can sync depends on your device. For more information, see the documentation for your device.
    You can sync multiple devices with your iTunes library, and use different settings for each device.
    Important:    Before disconnecting iPod classic, iPod nano, or iPod shuffle from your computer, click the Eject button . 
    Sync and organize iOS apps
    Add photos to iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad

  • Can i buy a sim free iphone 5s from a apple retail store ?

    Can i buy a sim free iphone 5s from a apple retail store in nyc or is it exclusively avaliable online ?

    You can buy it at an Apple store. But you do not want "SIM Free", which means that you can use it with any carrier, but the phone becomes locked permanently to the first carrier you use it with. You want to be clear that you want an "UNLOCKED" phone. Apple does not sell SIM Free phones, but some independent dealers (such as Carphone Warehouse in the UK) do.
    Also, note that if you plan to use it outside of the US you will not have warranty or repair service available for it; Apple will only fix phones (in or out of warranty) in the country of purchase. And it may not work on LTE (4G) networks outside of North America.
