Can't get Nano unlocked
My son's iPod Nano is locked. I tried the five R's and still nothing, the lock is still at the top of the screen. The Hold button is in the correct position.
Thanks,
Nick
I read something on another thread and it suggested holding down the menu button and the middle wheel for five to ten secs until the locked screen goes away and the apple shows up. Then it was unlocked. This was the only thing that worked for me.

How can I use a SCH-LC11 device in CHINA which bought from ebay. I am not Verizon customer but I prefer to using your 4G LTE Router . How can I get the unlock code? The device may have a bad ESN but I only use it in CHINA. Kindly looking forward your reply. Thanks!
It's good to read Antoniad's post. It reassures me that I can use my new iPad as an international communication device which is the reason I purchased the thing. However, I called Verizon today (my provider of cellular data) who told me that I can't just pop in a SIM card as you suggested. He also said that he was from the "Pre-Pay" division of Verizon and he was certain that I couldn't do what I planned to do. I was extremely disappointed as I had called Apple prior to buying the iPad and I read the algorhythm on the website for choosing an iPad before purchasing. Those sources were quite specific and the information seemed clear. I would be able to use my iPad to communicate through cellular connections while traveling on the road, literally, abroad. I was told that I could pop in a data card wherever I was, just as you indicated in your message above, and voila I was good to go. The Verizon rep definitively rained on that parade, but said that I might be able to do this if I have a "Post-Pay" account, a different area of Verizon. I haven't had the chance to talk to this division yet, so I looked to Apple's Support for answers. Maybe I will find out that I can use my iPad as an international communication device while traveling on the road afterall, however, it appears I may need a different type of account (Post-Pay), something I was never warned about. Can I switch to this kind of account? I don't know. I have to find out. If you have any information about this issue, it would be good to share since I strongly suspect there are others who bought the iPad for the same purpose that I have.

I bought my iphone 4 in the UK and I am trying to use a sim in the UAE and it doesn't work. It says that the sim is not valid, how can I get this unlocked?
You are saying the phone is locked, but then you are saying there is no provider. The two situations cannot peacefully coexist. Contact Apple and they can tell you if the phone is locked and if locked to which provider the phone is locked. People on this board are not Apple employees and cannot get you that information.

my family purchased iphone 3GS in US for me. I used that Iphone back home for 15 days, in pakistan on local GSM. But on the one day it automatically got locked as the battery discharged. How can i get it unlocked??
Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
Contact them to find out their requirements for unlocking. -
TS1424 Why is my account disabled and how can I get it UNLOCKED? Thank you!
My account has been disabled. how can i get it unlocked? I emailed Itunes since there is no phone support and I am waiting for a response. thank you!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
When your account becomes disabled, Apple provides the following recommendation:
"This message means that someone tried and failed to sign in to your account multiple times. The Apple ID system disables the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You need to reset your password, following the instructions at the Apple ID website".
Visit iForgot.com and follow the instructions there.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support -
Can I get a unlocked iPhone 5 in the store
Can I get a unlocked iPhone 5 in the store in USA
if you buy the phone from apple, online or store, and you do not use your upgrade, in other words pay full price. You can go to att.com. scroll your mouse over the wireless tab. and click the link, "unlock iphone" Fill out the few questions it asks you and at&t will contact you by email with instructions for unlocking the phone. I spoke with at&t about this the other day and as long as the phone isnt in a contract or the contract is satisfied (termination fee paid) then they will unlock it for you..

I visited the USA and bought an Apple iPhone 4 5.1.1, the latest model. I would like to unlock it and use in my country. How can I get it unlocked so the I can use my local micro sim card? What info about it do you need to assist me in unlocking it?
Sounds like you bought an AT&T no contract phone. You will need to contact AT&T for unlocking but they are only doing so for current and previous account holders. If you have never had service with them they will not unlock your phone.

Contact the original cellular provider, as they are the only ones that can provide unlocking.

Hi, I have recently purchased an iPad 2 and only just found out after trying to use a Giffgaff sim card that it is locked to the Orange network in the UK. I don't want to be paying any extra over and above what I have already paid so my question is, is there any way to get the iPad carrier unlocked via apple or orange. I am waiting a call back from apple today and have read on the web that orange will charge me to unlock it.
Thanks for any help you guys can offerSome iPads which were subsidized by the carriers are locked to the carrier, and in that case only the carrier can authorize an unlock. You'll need to talk to Orange, and pay their fee if necessary. They may well only unlock for the original purchaser, in which case you'll need to contact the person from whom you purchased the iPad. Apple can do nothing directly in the matter, since they can only issue the unlock when the carrier provides authorization.

Can I get an unlocked iphone 5?
I want to buy unlocked iphone 5 but not from the apple store.
Cause they dont have any...
I wonder if you could tell me where can I get one in NY city, something near the 1st ave.
thank you.The unlocked iPhone 5 is not available for purchase in the US at the moment and you have answered your own question with your statement below, but then seem to have gone on to contradict it directly in your next response. Make up your mind!
"I want to buy unlocked iphone 5 but not from the apple store.
Cause they dont have any..."
Well, if you know of all these people who bought it in the Apple store, then why not go and ask them and don't bother to ask here?
The unlocked iPhone 5 is not available for sale in the US at this present time.
