Can't get my iphone 4 to work now I've moved countries.

I've just moved to Germany and have an Iphone that I got from the car phone warehouse, I was on contract with o2, o2 in England told me my phone is not locked to them but when Iput my German sim pre pay sim in it won't work. It tells me to activate the phone through wifi. When I try this it tells me to contact my service provider or put in the sim I got with the phone. What can I do to make it work?

Your phone is in fact locked to O2. Carphone Warehouse DOES NOT sell officially unlocked iPhones. Rather, the phones they sell are called "sim free". What that means is that these iPhones will lock to the first UK carrier's sim inserted in the phone, in your case that would be O2. To use your phone in Germany requires that you get O2 to authorize the phone's official unlocking. However, they will not do so unless you are in the UK, using the phone on their network. Apple can't/won't help you & neither will any carrier in Germany.
Sorry, but you'll have to deal with O2 to get your phone officially unlocked.

I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work

I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

how can i get my iphone to work without itunes

You don't need a computer at all to activate and use a phone running iOS 5 or 6.
Turn it on, go through the activation steps on screen, and you're up and running.
Are you having some kind of problem you'd like help with, or is this just a hypothetical question?

How can I get my Iphone to work with UCONNECT?

How can I get my iphone 4s running IO7.0.4 to work with my UCONNECT system in my 2013 Chrysler?
I have talked to UCONNECT and the tekkie said "you will have to live with it because your phone is too advanced for our software and we do not have an update planned." I prress the "connect" button on the steering wheel and tell the phone to call a person on mobile. I says it cannot call "somebody else" as they do not have a mobile number. But the person it says is not the person I said.
It is like it is not reading the phonebook correctly.

Everything worked perfectly until I updated to IO 7. Then it went out the window. I cnnot be the only person with this problem and hopefully someone out there has overcome this problem. If you just stop at the first NO we would still be flipping our phones open.

How can I get Photoshop CS4 to work now that I have CS6 (which I dislike for many reasons), on the s

I have recently purchased CS6 Mac, and now that it's on my computer CS4 won't work. Adobe told me to post the question on this forum because they refuse to provide any tech support for CS4 or earlier versions of PS now that 6 is out.
Also, they won't provide any help regarding the fact that all my images from CS4 open at 25% instead of 100% which they did in CS4. They say I just have to highlight the 25 and type in 100. Needless to say that is absurd and a big time waster.
Any help is appreciated. OS mountain lion on a mac mini, also new.
Thanks,
bonnie

HI and thank you both for your help. Here is the screen shot. I don't know if you can see that there is actually an image open. It's a business card so it's small to begin with, but this is NOT how things opened in CS4.
The percentage in the lower left cannot be seen because the window is too large and even though I quite the program, it still opened as large as when I closed it. But it was something like .38%
How do I get it back to normal working size?
Another thing I dislike is that when I do a screen shot there is no way to save it without first clicking the red 'close this' button and then reopening it and using 'save as' to type in the correct name. If I use command s I just get 'untitled with a number'. It's a lot of unnecessary steps. Also, is there no other way to save a screen shot other than as a tif and then reopening it to save it as a jpg?
The cyan lines seemed to have disappeared when opening the other images. This version is making me nuts. That's why I want my CS4 back and operational.
ALSO, I want my brushes that I have collected over the years... they didn't make it over from the dying Mac Pro to this Mac Mini. They are all in CS4. How do I do that?
That's a good beginning for why I don't like it.
Thank you,
bonnie

I can't get my iPhone to work with projector using keynote.

I've tried using my iPad with the same projector and same presentation. It works. But, my notes (massive amount of notes, not conducive to keynotes presenter notes) need to be on my iPad, so I would love to setup my iPad as the remote, and the iPhone as the presentation host via a VGA into the projector. So far no luck. Any suggestions?

I don't think there's any way to do that - to control one iOS device with another.

I can't get my iPhone to work.

It worked fine until I updated iTunes. Now iTunes asks me to restore to factory settings. I do that, but either it says it hasn't worked, or says it has worked but the phone isn't working. What should I do?

I recently transferred my ipnone service from at&t to another carrier the phone worked fine until i tried to up it with itunes i now have a frozen itunes logo and a plug on the screens my phone is a iphone 3g how can i get my phone to work again?

my ipone 3g is frozen with aitunes logo and plug after i tried to update it from apple. the phone worked fine even thou i changed carriers from at&t to Simple celleur. How can i get my phone to work?

As AT&T has not officially unlocked your phone it must have been hacked to use another carrier. So when you updated it has relocked itself to AT&T. There is no official unlock so this will happen anytime you update.

HT204053 I can not get my Icloud to work on my iphone and ipad since i set up my new email addy on Apple Icloud won't let me change it on those devices ...Plz Help Shey

I can not get my Iphone or ipad to except the new email address that is now on Apple so nothing will back up or work on Icloud on those devices Thx plz help Sheyw

With iCloud on the phone, you will need to remove the account, then add it back in with the new address. It is a bit awkward, but the only way to change the AppleID for the iCloud account login is to delete the account then add it back with the new credentials. You won't loose anything as the iCloud account is still the same one, you just need to re-associate the AppleID credentials for it on the iPhone.

My iPhone is using my work email to sign in to the cloud, but my apple id and password are with my "personal" email address. I can't get rid of my "work" email address on my iPhone 4S

Hi Sister Kate,
If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
