    how to find the imei number of missing iphone and how to trace it with an imei number?

    Recieving mail has nothing to do with the SIM in the phone.
    You cannot trace an iPhone with IMEI number. That could only be useful for identifying a found phone as yours.

  • Cannot Change Ringer Volume, Iphone 4

    I am having some issues with the ringer volume on my iphone 4.
    Cannot change the ringer volume with the side buttons, when I press them the ringer volume icon apperas but with no bars underneath it and unable to change it.
    I have Ringer & Alert set to Change with Buttons.
    However I have seen that when I press the home button twice and swipe to the mirroring icon this phone does not have itself in the list, but has my Apple TV's and the Dock Connector. IN my other iPhone it has the iphone.
    I cannot chnage it from the Dock Connector setting.
    Any idea on a fix. Did a full restore and this did not help.

    Here is how I got mine to work again:
    I plugged in the earbuds and made sure I can hear the sound from the earbuds then I just simply unplugged the earbuds and it worked! Hope this help you!

  • HT201407 when i change sim in iphone 4 it keep asking me to activate it?

    Hi,
    I have Iphone 4 unlocked, works fine with all UK networks but when I put in new (activated) sim in Iphone 4, it shows "No Service" until I connect it to Itunes, then it ask for activation required on iphone but activates. When connected to itunes error message is shown the "Iphone (Iphone's name) failed to activate" then
    Iphone get signal bars and works perfect, It does the everytime when I put new sim. Any help plz....
    Thank you in advance

    Apple will not ask you to click a link in an email. They may tell you to log in to your account to reset your password. Go to https://appleid.apple.com and log in if you ever want to change any information in your profile (or your password). And do not click the link I just posted; instead enter it into a browser.
    You can verify the devices assigned to your account by going to https://icloud.com/find (again, don't click it), where you can see a list of devices registered to your Apple ID.
    As a general rule, you should never click a link in an email or forum post without verifying it first. You can see where it goes without clicking it in most email programs and browsers by hovering your mouse pointer over it. On an iPhone you can check where it goes by holding your finger on the link (rather than just tapping it).

    Have you guys been able to activate your iphone yet? I bought an iphone 4s from eBay and it worked fine, but the previous user had left some data on it, so last night I used the "erased all content and settings" to restore it to factory setting so I can start fresh and restore my backup. But now I'm stuck at the activation screen (I get the same "the activation server is temporarily unavailable")  and can't get it to activate, even if I use my old deactivated AT&T sim card (I'm on straighttalk now).
    I might try activating it with an active AT&T sim card from my fiancee's phone when she gets home, so I'll let you know how that works outs.
    If it's true that the server is down; anyone know when it will be back up again? Thanks in advance.

  • Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him mine. Want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address.

    Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him my 4s. We want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address on 4s iPhone. Also, when I tried to change iMessage I got a message that if I deleted my id (which seemed to be the only way to get my husband's I'd there), I would not be able to receive iMessages on any device.
    Would someone kindly tell me how to set up th 4s for my husband so that we can keep our info separate? It would be most appreciated! Thanks!!

    Hey Fagen!
    You will want to see the following article for guidance on achieving the result you wish to achieve:
    What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
    I would just follow the instructions from this article to give your unused 4s to your spouse. Since you have already started using your 5s, you will still be receiving iMessages on that phone and will have no need to receive them on a device that has been replaced. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • I downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    i downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
    If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
    If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.

  • I have Iphone 4 it was work fine in my country (bahrain) i went to UK and i change sim card to O2 and when i came back it doesn't work in my country i think because i update the carrier in Uk its my carrier now 10.0 and the others in my country is 9.0

    We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
    You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE!  After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
    Hope this helps!

  • HT5621 I changed my appleid online, but I cannot change the appleid on my iPhone, it will not allow me to edit it under settings?

    I changed my AppleId online and I cannot get the Id changed on my iPhone 4.  Settings will not allow me to edit the existing Id.  ???

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • Once I accept a calendar invite on my iPhone, I cannot delete or otherwise modify it.  Even when it is updated or deleted by the invitor, it does not change on my iPhone.  Is there a fix for this?

    Once I accept a calendar invite on my iPhone, I cannot delete or otherwise modify it.  Even when it is updated or deleted by the invitor, it does not change on my iPhone.

    My husband and I both have iphone 4's and we both have this same problem.  I have an open ticket with apple, but so far they haven't been able to figure this out.  First, they told me the problem was the mail server I was using.  So, I tried sending/receiving invites from gmail and yahoo which they told me should work.  Neither did.  It doesn't matter whether the original invite was created in iCal or in Outlook or Google, once I open the invite in my mail and hit "add to calendar" the event is locked into my calendar.  If the originator sends an update or cancels the meeting, I will receive an email with the new info, but the event doesn't change in my iphone calendar.  This is completely lame.  Why bother putting a calendar app on the phone if it can't handle basic functions?
    Did you ever get a response from anyone or figure out a workaround?  I'll post if I hear back from Apple with a fix.

  • Changing sim cards without losing music and video on iphone

    I have an iphone 3gs, with an Australian account. I have gone on a trip to London and have obtained a payg sim card here. Before I left I unlocked my iphone with my provider and am looking to use the UK sim card. My concern is that if I change sim cards I need to restore my iphone. Does this mean that I lose my music, video and podcast files? All the originals are on my pc at home in Australia. Is there a way that I can change sim cards without losing my media files in the iphone?
    thanks

    I too have an account with 3 Australia (now known as VHA) and am using it in Malaysia during my holidays here. Anyways to your question:
    No if done properly you don't even need to restore your iPhone. If your phone is already unlocked just chuck in the new SIM card and that's it.

  • HT2589 after my last update my iphone and ipad has an old apple id email address which I cannot change, but itunes has the right id.  How do I fix this problem

    After my last update mu iphone and ipad has an deleted apple id, but my itunes have the new on and I cannot change it on my devices.  Any help would be appreciated.

    If it's an old account which you'd updated with a new email address then try logging out of it on the iPad (and iPhone) by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad (and iPhone). If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • I cannot change my old user ID from my Iphone to match my new ID on my pc

    I set up my user Id on my Iphone 2 years ago but 12 months ago I changed ISP and I cannot change the old user ID on my Iphone to my new email address and cannot remember the old password. I have tried Settings>Store but only the new email address appears. If I try updates on my apps it asks for my old Id password and that is where I get stuck, If I go to appleid.apple com it also only tells me that I have only the new user ID. This problem seems to be within the Iphone software, do I have to do a backup and restore to factory defaults and if so are there any problems I may incur?

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them originally.  You will always be asked for the password for this ID when updating them, regardless of what Apple ID you are using currently (in Settings>Store>Apple ID).  This can't be changed.  All you can do to stop this is to delete these apps from your phone so they don't try to update.
