Can I purchase an IPhone 5 that is factory unlocked, so that I can insert my t-mobile sim card and use it on my service from the apple store?

Not in the US, at the present time. Apple has not started selling officially unlocked iPhone 5's in the US, & has not announced when they will.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

    i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died.  Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music.  It is all grey at the top of the screen.  Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id.  So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised.  if anyone can be of assistance then great!

    I'm having a similar problem.  I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order.  Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy.  When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too.  No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop.  I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't.  I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help.  I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

    No. I've given you your answer. Buy from an un-official source, and you take your chances. And yes, if your phone was hacked to unlock it(common from un-official sources), it will be locked back to the carrier it was originally locked to if you update software or restore the phone.

  • Can I use credit that I have with the App store to purchase music from the Apple store in iTunes?

    I have credit with the App Store on my iPhone can I use that credit to purchase music from the Apple store in iTunes and if so how>

    The credit that is on your account can be used to buy items from the app store, iTunes store, ibookstore and (if you have a Mac) the Mac App Store. As long as you are buying the music for yourself (you can't use an account's balance to gift content) then your account's balance should be used before your credit card is charged - just click on the price to buy it and it's price should be deducted from your balance.

  • Can apple unlock an iPhone 4 that was bought from the apple store?

    I bought an iPhone 4 last year from the apple store, my network provider cannot unlock it as I didn't get it through them. Hope someone can help.

    Only the carrier (not Apple) can initiate the unlocking process.  In the US, AT&T has not and will not unlock the iPhone for anyone for any reason. 
    If your network provider cannot or will not unlock your phone, then you phone cannot be unlocked.  If you need an unlocked phone, sell yours and buy a factory unlocked phone.

  • If I purchase an Iphone 5s factory unlocked in the US from the Apple store and bring it to India, will I be able to purchase a global warranty? If not then will i be able to get the phone serviced here in India from the authorised dealer/agent in India?

    No, as there is no such thing for an iPhone.
    If not then will i be able to get the phone serviced here in India from the authorised dealer/agent in India?
    Nope. You'll only be able to get the phone serviced in the US...no one will touch it in India.

  • For some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store.

    for some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store. my old iphone 4s audio jack was messed up but i just got a new one with my warranty , can anyone help me please.

    It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
    Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

  • How do I purchase a IPhone at full price from the Apple Store.

    I have been a Verizon customer for over 10 years, and I currently have the unlimited data plan.  I was informed that if I upgrade my IPhone I would be required to switch to another Data plan (because the unlimited data plan is no longer offered).  I was also informed that if I am willing to pay full price for a new phone, then Verizon will allow me to keep my current plan. 
    If I am going to pay full price for a new phone, I would like to purchase it directly through the Apple Store instead of through Verizon.  Unfortunately, according to Apple, the only phones that I can purchase for full price are unlocked phones and these phones do not work with Verizon plans. 
    Has anyone been successful with purchasing a I-Phone from the Apple store at full price and using Verizon as their service provider?

        Hello and happy Sunday LADYTLC,
    The iPhone is easily one of the most popular phones of all time! With it's sleek design, super easy user interface, and innovative functionality, what's there not to love. I want to see you enjoy all the iPhone has to offer on the our data network. May I ask which iPhone are you interested in getting? This amazing device can be purchased online, by phone, or in our corporate retail locations at retail value. If you would like assistance on completing this transaction and keeping unlimited data then please advise as we are here to assist.
    Thank you...

  • Can you use a Mac Apps gift card to purchase products from the Apple store online?

    I was just wondering if you can use that $100 back to school gift card to purchase something from the apple store. (for example: the headphones)
    Thanks~

    No, Apple Online Store is a different family from the MAS. You can use it on the iTunes Store though.

  • If I preorder an iPhone 5 will it arrive at my house on the 21st or is that when it'll ship? I would like to have it the day it comes out so if it would be faster to order it online and then pick it up from the apple store, let me know! Thanks

    My experience is with the iPhone 4S and the "new" iPad, both of which I ordered early on the opening pre-order day. In both cases the wording from Apple during the media event was "pre-orders will start on ABC date for delivery on XYZ date" which was also the same day they were to go on sale in stores.  In both cases, the UPS truck rolled up earlier than usual XYZ date as promised to hand me my new iPhone/iPad. In both cases there were instances of confusion due to some pre-order confirmations stating incorrectly "SCHEDULED SHIPPING DATE: XYZ".  In both cases that caused much fear, panick, and trepidation that fed upon itself as it permeated a widely scattered forum linked community of "adults" that seem to collectively revert to a state of childish impatience and ultimately child-like glee as they obsessively refresh their dedicated tracking browser window; become convinced that there is no hope of escaping the dread delayed shippment, and then finally receive their new toy exactly when they were supposed to.  Not that I personally would ever succumb to that of course.  Er uhm ... it's just what I've seen you know .. nothing I can really relate to.

  • I'd like to buy an iPhone 4S in France directly from the Apple Store, not from the operators. But, I will go back to my country, Thailand. So, I'm wondering to know that there is an INTERNATIONAL warranty for iPhone, and is it valid in Thailand (warranty)

    I'd like to buy an iPhone 4S in France directly from the Apple Store, not from the operators. But, I will go back to my country, Thailand. So, I'm wondering to know that there is an INTERNATIONAL warranty for iPhone, and is it valid in Thailand (warranty). Would it be able to be claimed at the iStudio in Thailand?

    There is NO International Warranty for the iPhone.  Your best bet is to purchase one in Thailand.  If you purchase a phone in France, you will NOT get warranty service on it in Thailand and will have to return it to France (or any EU country) for warranty service.
