Can I put a giff gaff sim into my iphone 4 when doing the unlock?
It says in my email to use a sim from a iphone/ipad supplier.
Could I just put the giff gaff sim in for the unlock process?

Orange have sent the imei to apple for unlocking.
I just need to know if I can use the giff gaff sim in this process as they
Do not supply iPhones or iPads.
Normally it's recommended to use a SIM from a supported carrier, but a GiffGaff SIM may work. They have some information here:

Are giff gaff sims compatible with iphones?
i'm trying to use a giff gaff sim in an iphone 4s that i have brought from a family member, when i try to connect it tunes so that i can activate it, all it says is that it isn't supported does this mean that i need to get my phone unlocked?
You may be able to restore the iPhone and activate it with the SIM it was previously used with, but to make a recieve calls with a SIM other than the one it came with you'll have to get the carrier to unlock it (assuming the iPhone was purchased when locked).
What country are you in? Do you know the carrier the iPhone was last used with?
Take a look at this Apple doc for more info about unlocking -> iPhone: About unlocking -
Can i put in a NZ sim card into my UK iphone?
Hey guys it may have been asked before but basically I'm from the UK but have been living in New Zealand for the past 2 years and will be going back there in a month to spend another 12months there. I bought an Iphone 4s this week, through T-mobile. Not yet turned it on or activated it yet, my question is, if I turn it on and insert my NZ Vodafone SIM into the phone, wil it be then locked to my NZ network(which I want) despite being in the UK.
Or should I just put my T-mobile sim in and hope that it accepts my Vodafone NZ sim as well, or buy a Vodafone UK sim card, put that into the phone with the belief that I will be able to put my Vodafone NZ sim into it with no problem.
At the time of writing I am in the UK, I just want to get the all clear or good advice, as I will be living in NZ therefore want this phone to be activated/locked to a NZ sim card.
Any advice would be appreciated.http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
Accoprding to Apple's information, all UK phones are sold as locked to the carrier you got it from, so yours is ALREADY locked to T-Mobile (activation has nothing to do with whether a phone is sold as locked or not).
However, it looks like, from Apple's listing, that they also support unlocking, but you will need to contact them about doing that. There may be restrictions, like so many months under contract first, or a fee, or whatever rules they apply to unlocking. Or there may be none and you just need to ask them to do it.
Regardless, you need to contact T-Mobile and ask them about how to get an unlock request processed by them. And do it before you leave - much more difficult to deal with once you are far removed from their network. -
Hello! The question is this. In London, took the Iphone 5 as sim free, flew to Moscow put Simcoe, and he writes me that is locked to the operator O2. Can anyone encountered this problem? What to do? How to remove the Unlock?
<Edited by Host>Look at your receipt. Does it say unlocked? It is possible to purchase both locked "sim free" and unlocked iPhones from Apple.
ONLY the carrier an iPhone is locked to can legitimately unlock it.
IF your receipt says that it was supposed to be unlocked, and it is not, call AppleCare. They should be able to straighten it out. -

I lost my iphone, got a new sim card and put it in my boyfriend's old iphone. When I synch it in itunes it will only synch with his stuff and not mine. Any ideas how I can get it to synch with my itunes??
Are you using a Mac? It sounds like you are using his computer to sync to. If this is the case, then it will sync to all of his stuff unless a new user is created with your personal stuff on it.
When you want to sync your iPhone to that computer, switch to your user first, and then everything will sync with your stuff. If he wants to hook up his iPhone to sync it, then he needs to switch back to his own username first. -
Can i put my itunes music onto my partners iphone and if so how?
can i put my itunes music onto my partners iphone and if so how?
Put the music into iTunes on the computer your partner syncs the iPhone with.
The next time that iPhone is synchronised with the computer, the music will be copied to the iPhone. -

I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf. When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank. When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content turned into symbols. What is going wrong?
You select the printer properties and set the appropriate page size (I think there is a place to set it in PDF Maker too, but not sure). In the printer, this is equivalent to putting the proper paper in the printer.

Dreamweaver has no built-in provision for this. But you will find jQuery plugins that can do it.

iPhone stores no data on a sim card, thus there is no way to save anything to the sim card.

I turned my iphone off when visiting the doctor's surgery and now it won't turn back on. It had 73% battery left and I have tried connecting it to my computer with USB but nothing happens. I have taken out and replaced the sim card too. Any suggestions
If wjosten's tip doesn't work try plugging it into a USB charger (not through your computer), wait about 30 seconds and it should come on. If it doesn't remove the cord from the phone and keep trying this. I've had this same issue and found a combination of the reset & charging cable tends to work. Sometimes it takes about 5 minutes for the phone to respond.
Best of luck. -
Can I recover notes I accidentally erased from my iPhone? I have the newest software and updates and I use iCloud.
Is your carrier still AT&T? What error message do you get when you try to activate it?
Have you tried a new SIM? Was the phone jailbroken? Was the computer you used to update it ever used to jailbreak a phone? In general, this problem is caused by one of the following:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer. -
How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint 15.1 at IOS 7.0.6 IMEI 99 000320 012095 0 .
The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?There is no such thing as an unlock code. Sprint may have processed the unlock, and then requested you restore the iPhone using iTunes to complete it. But that's it. There is no code to enter, and nowhere to enter it any way.

I'm surprised that there seems to be no "new object" event in the JDI. As far as I can tell, the only way to identify a new instance of a class is by requesting MethodExitEvent, checking Method.isConstructor(), and then iterating over ClassType.insta
