  • Can find my iPhone be turned on remotely? I had it turned off, and twice in the last month I've found that it is turned on and someone was tracking my location. I'm a little freaked out!

    Can find my iPhone be turned on remotely? I had it turned off, and twice in the last month I've found that it is turned on and someone was tracking my location. I'm a little freaked out! Is there any way that someone could be turning "find my iPhone" on remotely? I was under the assumption that the only way to turn the service on was from my phone itself.. Is there any way that my phone is somehow resetting itself to a time when the app was turned on? I'm just grabbing straws here... I have no idea. I just know that the location arrow came on at the top of my phone, and it showed that someone was tracking my phone at that very moment... Any help would be appreciated!

    Find my phone can only be enabled from the device itself.

  • Can my old IPhone be used to boost ram on a PC or Mac?

    Well, I have an old iPhone 3GS and soon enough this 4 will be retired as well. That being said I know that both of these devices are still quite worthy of use in various functions. I wouldn't get anything for turning them back into the store and I hope to re-use them in a different way. So my question is could I use my old phones to boost ram temporarily on my computer? I haven't found too many helpful resources for repurposing old iPhones and I love the devices.

    You can use the old iPhones as iPods. You cannot use them as RAM for
    a computer.

  • How can I get my old iPhone 5 (Verizon) unlocked for use with another carrier?

    I have an iPhone 5 that was purchased with a Verizon Wireless account.  It is more than two years old and I have since upgraded it to a newer iPhone.  I want to give this phone to a friend in Germany.  His service will provide a new sim, if the phone is unlocked.  How can I get it unlocked so that it is no longer limited only to Verizon Wireless?

        Good afternoon Weth!  That is completely correct. All 4G phones are already unlocked for global use. If you contact your international carrier and insert their sim card, it will be ready to activate on the international network. If you have any questions regarding the compatibility of the international network, please reach out to them directly. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Thanks so much and safe travels to you!

    Contact AT&T. The carrier is the only one that can officially unlock the phone. See if you qualify to have your phone unlocked by them.

  • Where and when can I order iPhone 5 factory unlocked ?

    US release of Factory Unlocked iPhone 5; when, where, how long a wait ?

    Canadians can only buy factory unlocked iPhones which ate through service providers.
    Your service provider have plans for your devices to be used however Apple does not sell Cartier locked iPhones in Canada.
    Your rush to identify my error in stating "by law",
    misses the point of official unlocked avability in Canada without
    the Locked alternative which is only available in the USA
    untill Apples agreement with AT&T for 2 year contract service
    has been met.
    Do you really think you did all your homework on
    this subject or has the cool aid hit it's mark ?

  • Can iget my iphone 4 factory unlocked for tmobile?

    I bought a iphone at walmart can i get it unlocked for tmobile?

    Why would you post this in an Apple forum?  Apple and other manufacturers don't lock phones.  Carriers do.  And only carriers can unlock them.
    Contact the carrier to whom the phone is locked and find out if they unlock iPhones and what the requirements are that you must fulfill.

  • Can't get IPhone 5s to unlock

    Today my iphone 5s's ,16GB, battery got low so i went to charge it. After i put it into the charger i decided to get on it, but it wouldnt allow me to use my fingerprint like i normally do. It then asked for me to put in my password and so i did, but my phone told me it was incorrect. I tried one more time then it disabled for a minute and continued to do so even after i tried the previous password i had on it. After waiting for it for sixty minutes to allow me to work with it i tried erasing the device on find my phone. It said my phone was offline and would not work. I then tried resetting it through itunes twice. Neither time worked. I am really starting to get frustrated now and i can't understand why my phone is acting up. I have not dropped it since i have gotten it last month. I know this is a long explanation but i figured having all the details may help.
    I couldnt hit reply so i just added the change straight to here
              The error i get everytime is right at the end of the restoring process. It will tell me that it was unable to connect to my iphone due to the passlock i have on the phone. The itunes that i have been using has been messing up for the past year (deleting music from the ipods and iphones when connected to them, saying songs where unable to download though they had worked before ect.) so thats the only reason i could see it giving me this message but i am not sure.

    One key thing you forgot to include: What does it do when you try to restore it using iTunes?  If it gives you any errors, post exactly what that error message says including any numbers.
    Here's the instructions just in case you need them again:
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    Use recovery mode
    Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
    Disconnect all cables from your device.
    Turn off your device.
    Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
    Click OK, then restore the device.

  • Old iphone in Mexico

    I wanted to know since the 3g iphone is going to be sold in Mexico can the old iphone also be used in mexico? My cousin wants my old iphone when i buy the new one. can he use it over there in Mexico?

    If Mexico is only a 3G network then no the old iPhone would not work for him as a permanent phone as even with the 2.0 update it is not 3G compatible.
    When I went to Mexico mine worked but it was roaming not using a 3G service.

    You really want to restore using the computer that you sync with so that you can recover all of your data from the backup of the phone.

  • I just upgrade my Verizon Plan from an iphnoe 4s to an iphone 5. I would like to unlock my old iphone 4s. How can I do this?

    I would like to have verizon unlock my old iphone 4s that I upgrade to a 5C. In the past, with some of my previous models, I called Verizon support and they unlocked the phone. Since I will be many months abroad, I would like to know how to be able to contact Verizon for this support.

        Very nice to be traveling abroad, Pkumpis! I can certainly understand needing a Global Phone while traveling. Are you still currently in the U.S.? The phone will need to be active on a current VZW account, and then you can reach out to Global Support at 800-711-8300 for assistance with unlocking it.
    Thank you,
