I have put a new vodafone sim card in it but it says no service! So i called vodafone and the guy said i can't use it in uk even if it was unlocked in Australia.
Call back & talk to someone else, because whoever you talked to has no idea what they're talking about. If unlocked, the phone will work just fine.

I've been told I should deauthorize all my devices and reauthorize them. Can you deauthorize an iPhone from the iTunes App?

I've been told I should deauthorize all my devices and reauthorize them. Can you deauthorize an iPhone from the iTunes App?

I read an answer on another issue that said you don't deauthorize iPhones from the phone, and to deauthorize everything from the iTunes store. But when I go to the iTunes store, it tells me my computer is not authorized, (I just had this computer repaired & the iTunes store doesn't recognize it, and it says we already have 5 devices authorized). Is there a place to deauthorize everything at once, so I can add devices back individually?

How can I restore my iPhone from icloud with 2 different accounts?

I have two accounts. When I restore my iPhone from icloud with account A, the apps I bought with account B cannot be restored. What can I do?

The iCloud account is different from the iTunes store account, although you can use the same ID for both. in your case you can only use one iTunes account at a time to get previously bought apps, music, etc.Once you change to the other one, the stuff from the first account is deleted. In other words you can only realistically use one iTunes account. The same goes with iCloud. you must now decide which account for iTunes you want to stick with. apple does not let you merge two iTunes accounts.

Can you restore an iPhone from a backup that was done from a different iPhone?

Here's the scenario. I've been backing up my iPhone 5 on iTunes so there's a backup file there but that iPhone is damaged and might not be recoverable. If I get a replacement phone, can I still use that backup file to restore the new phone despite the fact that it'll be a different serial number etc. than the phone the backup is based on? Can I restore an iPhone 4 as well as an iPhone 5 from that same backup file?

Hi Guchman,
Yes you can set up a new phone from a backup from another phone as long as the iOS is the same. Here is a support article that should help:

Can you restore an iPhone from an iPod backup?

Hi Everybody,
I plan on buying an iPhone 4S (64 GB Black) on Friday, and have been using an iPod Touch 2nd Generation (8 GB) for over a year and a half. I love my iPod, and have a lot of pictures, data from apps, et cetera stored on it, and I would obviously want them on my shiny new iPhone, running the way they did on my iPod. I am especially concerned with game progress, as I love my iPod as a gaming machine and hope that my progress would transfer over to my iPhone.
I'm wondering if I will have the option of "restoring" my new iPhone from the iPod backup. This would save me a LOT of time.
If so, how much of the data would sync over? Would it be literally everything?
Lastly, would data from apps I've deleted also be synced over to the iPhone? I have way more than 8 GB worth of apps, and I've deleted some of them along the way. They're still stored on my computer, but no longer on my iPod. Would their data be on the iPhone if I reinstalled them on my iPhone?
The iPod touch is running iOS 4.2.1, and the iPhone will be running iOS 5.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my question, and I hope you can help! It's certainly appreciated!
Colin W.

When I got my iPhone 4 earlier this year, I was able to select my 2G Touch's backup to transfer all my app data, preferences, etc. over to the iPhone. There's no guarantee this will work with iOS 5 and iPhone 4S, but I don't see why not.
But assuming that is will work as in the past, during the iPhone setup process you will be prompted to either set it up as a new device or from a backup. If you select your Touch's backup then all the settings and preferences you've set on the Touch will be applied to the iPhone (minus passwords, for security reasons). If you have any media (apps, music, etc.) in your library that are not currently on your Touch, all you need to do is tweak your iPhone's sync settings to pick additional (or different) items.
However, one caveat that I learned from my experience -- As the iPhone setup proceeds, it will get to a point where everything's set up, but it has not sync'd anything yet (I think by default it will wait until you click the Sync button). Before you sync the iPhone to your library, eject the iPhone and go into the iPhone's settings and sign into your iTunes account, then re-connect to iTunes and then sync your content. If you don't sign in before syncing you may get error 13 (that drove me batty until I figured this out).
Also, if you're going to continue using the Touch, then I'd recommend re-naming your iPhone after it is set up so that subsequent backups of the two devices are easily distinguished from each other, in case someday you want to restore from a backup.

Can I use an iPhone from Verizon with a canceled contract on another Verizon line?

My mother recently canceled her with Verizon Wireless because she wanted to be on our family share plan. My older brother decided that he wanted to get his own contract and left the line for her to take. She doesn't like the phone that he had and she has a brand new iphone that she got when she opened her contract. She still had a year to go but decided to pay the early termination fee. She still hasn't payed yet because she is waiting for the bill to make the last payment including the ETF. The service on the phone no longer work and she was wondering if she can connect that phone with that existing line on the family share plan. I also want to know if this has happened to you. I went with her when she went to canceled the contract, the lady that helped us was being so nice to the people before because they just got new phones/contracts. When my mom told her that she wanted to cancel the contract she started being so rude like we were asking her to give us something for free. With the previous customers she was being all smiles but with us she was like whatever. She barely answer some question that my mom had and when she did, she answer with an attitude. She was the same person that helped when my dad, my brothers and me went to get new phone and she was being so nice. I couldn't believe she was being so rude. That was the worst customer service I have in Verizon. Its like they love you when you decide to get into a new contract but the minute you decide to cancel one its like you are beneath or that they could care less about what you want. Has this happened to any of you? Thank for your answer I really appreciate it.

AFTER she pays her bill in full, the device should be usable.

Can you use a Iphone 3GS charger with an ipad2?

I don't want to damage my new iPad that I bought over in the US that obviously came with a American charger!

i've tried various ones but i will have to admit they were 3rd party dock cables.. like energizer and i could never seem to get them to attach to my iphone 4, so i gave up. im pretty sure when the iphone 4 came out they did away with the little tabs on the side that you depress to attach or let go of the cable and i assumed it was these tabs that prevented energizer's brand of dock cable from staying put. ill try again i guess. i've tried like 3 different models and none of them seemed
to fit and i don't want to force it

Can you get an iPhone without signing with a carrier

Sad but true! I actually want a mocked up iPod touch, so I thought that I would get the iPhone 4S because of the camera and the flash as that is really my main interest in the product. As we know the iPod touch has a horrible camera and no flash. So can a person just get the iPhone and use it with WiFi only and bypass the phone calling and carrier contracts.

The more I research the more I'm finding that to be true. You know having a contract and service isn't that big of deal but it's the credit part that is a ***** for me. I will not be able to walk out of the store without placing an additional deposit and those are not cheap. Thanks for the response though. It was exactly what I needed confirmed.

Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart?

Can you get an iphone 5 at target that uses AT&T or Verizon network and use the Straight Talk plan from Walmart? I don't have AT&T or Verizon network and I don't want to get them but I was just wondering if you can get the iphone 5 that is at target and use it for the straight talk plan. I will be getting the straight talk plan but I would like to do some research on the iphone 5 first for straight talk. At walmart the phone is $544.99 and I think it will be a lot cheaper to buy it at target.
Thank You!

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

I currently have aT-Mobile sim, and therefore, a UK telephone number. Can I get a sim from EE with the same number to use in my iphone 5?

The easiest way to find out what carrier it's locked to would be to call the store where you purchased the phone.
The phone can be unlocked from any location. However, most carrier have restrictions about unlocking and you have to contact them for details.
