Can not activate iPhone 4 with other GSM carriers, the iPhone was bought in Apple Store in Dec'2010

Hi, I bought one iPhone in Dec, 2010 in Palo Alto Apple Store and tried to use it in Asia, but failed. The iPhone cannot activate the SIM card. Any ideas? The iPhone was bought at $599 for 16G version, so I assume it is unlocked version already? Thanks a lot in advance!

Apple didn't start selling unlocked iPhones in the US until June of 2011. Your phone will still be locked to AT&T. AT&T does not provide unlocking.

  • Just bought a Macbook Pro. I want a clean install so won't use a Time Machine backup but how can I install the software I bought from Apple Store? can I just delete it from the old machine that is going to someone else?

    The ne
    The new machine has Mavericks which is fine. And I will leave it as is. I don’t want anything from my old machine other than 2 apps that I will need on the new one. I want to be able to install those apps that I bought from the App Store onto my new computer. I assume Apple doesn’t want me to have the apps installed on 2 machines at the same time so I wonder if just uninstalling them from my old machine will release them for re-install on the new one.

  • Hello i can not activate icloud from my ipad2 my old email address is my apple id.

    i can not activate my icloud account from my ipad2 it will not verify.

    ok maybe i should of worded it diferently
    i curently have an apple id that i have had for years "[email protected]"  i have since signed up to icloud and i cloud emails and i selected  "[email protected]" for example! now when i try and update my original apple id  "[email protected]" with my new @me.com email address it wont allow me!
    i dont want to have 2 apple id's cause all my emails assosiated with my original apple id (eg Receipts from apple) go to my old email address and not my @me.com email!
    does that make more sense ?

  • How can i activate my IPAD 2 in which the currently linked to an Apple Id is forgotten to first time use to set up this Ipad 2?

    how to activate Ipad 2 with the Apple id linked was forgotten..serial number isF5*****KPH..
    <Personal Information Edited by Host>

    You will have to remember or find your id. See if either of these two pages help :
    - if you have any of the accounts downloads in your computer's iTunes library : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name - Apple Support
    - use http://appleid.apple.com : How to find your Apple ID - Apple Support
    If you can't find it via either of those then try going to an Apple store if you have one nearby, or try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they can/will help (both are likely to want proof of ownership e.g. the original receipt with the serial number on it) :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    (As these are user-to-user forums I've asked the hosts to remove the serial number from your post.)

  • Itunes can not sync apps with the iphone [name], because it can not determine which apps are installed on the iphone.

    After installing the latest Version of iTunes (10.5.1.42) on my Windows XPs PC it's not possible to sync my iPhone 3GS (not iOS 5!) any more - I get the error message above. It's possible to download music, apps, podcasts - but not possible to sync with my iPhone..
    Any Ideas?

    Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.  Have the first two been tried?
    How about simply unplugging the iPhone and plugging it back in to sync?
    What has been done in an attempt to troubleshoot the issue?

  • HT2105 I have an itunes gift card, then found out that I can not use it with my KOBO Ereader.  I was wondering if I could let someone else in my family use the balance of my gift card?  They have an IPad and they often use Itune Gift Cards to purchase mov

    I was given an itunes gift card, then found out that my KOBO Ereader will not accept the itunes gift card.  I now have this gift card with a balance on it and would like to give it to my brother (he has an IPAD and uses Itune gift cards all the time).  If he was to use my gift card (with my password) would the movie or book that he purchase show up on his devise or would it show up on mine.  Thanks for all the help

    I'm not sure what you mean. Did you redeem the gift card to your iTunes Store account? If not, just give your brother the gift card and he can redeem it in his own iTunes Store account. If you did redeem the card, then there's no way to transfer the balance from your iTunes Store account to his. He'd have to use your iTunes Store account to make the purchases and sync to his devices.
    Regards.

  • Can not send email from .mac account from the iPhone

    I'm having problems sending email from my iPhone from my .Mac Account and says the outgoing server timed out. Any Suggestions?

    This error message indicates you are not using the correct server port for .Mac's SMTP server.
    Did you transfer the account settings from your Mac to the iPhone automatically via the iTunes sync process or did you manually create your .Mac account on the iPhone?
    If the former, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP Server selection, select the Server Settings button below for .Mac's SMTP server.
    If 25 is available in the Server Port field, enter 587 in place of 25 and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting and then re-sync your iPhone making sure your .Mac account is selected for account settings to be transferred to the iPhone.

  • The applestore in berkeley told me that my iphone 5 hasnt a retina display, but i bought in apple store and now ?

    hey guys i bought my iphone 5 in germany in a apple store, im a exchange student livin in berkely CA now. last week felt my iphone down and there is a problem under the display and i wen to the apple store in berkeley.. and they couldnt fix it and in addition they told me the display of my iphone  arent the retina display from apple is. they gave me the adress from a repair store in berkeley downtown to fix it.. i didnt understand why "the apple store" cant fix the iphone ?

    The warranty on the iphone is NOT international.  It is only valid in the country of purchase (the EU is considered one country for warranty purposes).  You wil need to send your phone back home to someone in Germany or another EU country to bring the phone into Apple.  When it's done being serviced they can send it back to you.

    Salam Alaikom Sameh
    I have the same problem,   it was working last week, but this week, after I made a restore, the iMessage is not activating.
    I am using STC carrier, and I searched in the internet and found that all people suffering from the same problem have STC sim card.
    If you try any other carrier, it will work fine !! 
    I contacted STC (Saudi Telecom Company) and they said we don't have any problem!
    That's weird.

  • It can not able to check warranty of my iMac that was bought 1 month ago. I don't know what the reason is?

    It always ask validate the purchased date. But when click there, it request serial number again, i entered my serial number then it ask validate purchased date again. It is a loop.

    Contact AppleCare, they can advise how to assist. If you have not purchased AppleCare and the computer is still in warranty then I strongly recommend that you do buy it, this will extend the warranty from 1 year to 3 years and provide 3 years of telephone support.
