Does anyone have an iPhone that does not work outside one country, a valid roaming sim will not work in a second country, neither will a new sim from that country

I first thought this was a network lock snag,
Could only resolve when travelling,
Now I have been told apple don't know why their phone doesn't work

When go with a service that service provider locks the phone until the contract agreement is fullfilled. Even if you don't have a contract you still need to contact the first service provider and request to have the phone unlocked.

  • DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IPHONE THAT MAKES...

    Coffee for you in the mornings? Haha, just kidding about that, but I really do have an interesting issue. The other morning I received a phone call from a friend...I answered it and all was great, but it brought me back to the main screen and not the passcode screen. I have that feature on, and I just turned my iPhone on. How in the world did it "unlock" the passcode without me doing anything? Now if you thought that was weird, what about this issue. So I turned the iPhone off and back on again and it was perfectly fine even after I got a call, back to normal right? Well not quite. That afternoon, I typed in my passcode and it didn't MOVE at all, It was sorta "stuck" with all 4 numbers in place...I actually could type in 4 numbers and get no response, so I delete all 4. Type it in again and it clears the entire thing out saying nothing like invalid, I type it in again and it goes. Why do I need to type the passcode in twice sometimes? It just started to happen and I didn't change any setting recently. I appreciate the advice. I will try to restore it when the next update comes out, but I just don't have the time. I have the 8 GB model.

    I sort of recall having an issue unlocking long ago (couple of firmware versions ago). Have also had crashes of Safari or Maps. Have had SMS not open for me. Various things. Reset always fixed it. As each firmware comes out, I have had less issues but like I mentioned in that thread I linked to, I do a reset at least once a week just to do one. That alone could be why I am getting less issues.

  • Does anyone have a iPhone 5S without a rattling sleep button?

    Just curious if more people have one that rattles or one that is more sturdy.

    First, let me say that you are not alone. I purchased three phones on launch day, one of them rattles. I did take the phone to the Apple Store, where a "Genius" attempted to convince me that all iPhones did this. Unsatisfied with his lack of professionalism and attempts to patronize me, I immediately called Apple and relayed the events that transpired. After talking with two very helpful and courteous Apple Care staff members, I was reassured that rattling was not a new feature of the iPhone 5s. In fact, I was told no iPhone should ever rattle. After speaking with Engineering, the representative issued me a replacement to be picked in-store. My phone is being "captured" and sent off to Engineering for review. They are now aware of this defect, and it has been documented.

  • Does anyone have an iphone 5 through straight talk?  How fast is it compared to standard Lte carriers?

    For two years the cost ends up being the same, but since the phone is bought outright it would be cheaper if held longer then 2 years, but if the speed is substantially slower may end up going with verizon or at&t.  Thank you for any input.

    You won't get any LTE support on Straight Talk.

  • Does anyone have any advice on how to fix a 6th generation classic, when the manual reset doesnt work either?

    Hey,
    Ive bought and ipod , without reading the description, silly me and it says the ipod wont turn on at all......ive tried the manual reset ( menu and middle button) still not working at all.
    I wondered if anyone had any advice, whether theres another way of making it work, or whether im going to have to go into an aple store and see what they can do?
    Thanks

    If you followed instructions from the apple support site: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    and you have not been successful, it will be harder. You can always google your problem and watch the different links and youtube sessions explaining how to do it. If your iPod is dead, meaning nothing shows up on the screen when you attempt to revive it, then it could mean the battery is totally dead or other hardware issues that prevent a power up. Don't try to spend too mcuh money in reviving your classic outisde of the Apple route, you might just end up spending that amount plus having to go to the Apple store anyway. I would try to see if it can be revived on the cheap by just prowling the web and trying the different solutions, but please don't open up your iPod, the classic is notorious for being difficult to open without damaging your chrome cover or even the front faceplate. if you can't do anything and you really want to revive it, go to the store and weight your options cost wise. If your final solution is to say goodbye to the iPod and want to get a new one, Amazon offers the same ones for less and the warranty is exactly the same plus you'll have 30 days to return it instead of the standard 14 from the Apple store (no tax too), you'll still have to pay for shipping but at least you'll have longer to consider keeping it. If you want to get warranties longer than Apple and for cheaper, use SquareTrade, they are very afforable and they will restore your iPod to like new and will cover for shipping it both ways (check them out first to see if they still do).
    Hope htis will help

    Hi to everybody !
    Does anyone have problems with Mail (Display on the right) ?
    What could be the cause of not displaying HTML correctly ?
    Could it be because I use SIMBL, that allows me

  • Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone.   Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

    Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone.   Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

    Mike whether I create a folder within the Pictures Folder that iTunes uses to sync photographs or just copy them into the main folder the result is the same, I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
    The User Manual for iOS5 states ...
    You can create, rename, and delete albums on iPhone to help you organize your photos and videos.
    Create a album: When viewing albums, tap Edit, then tap Add. Select photos to add to the new album, then tap Done. Note: Albums created on iPhone aren’t synced back to your computer.
    Rename an album Tap Edit, then select an album.
    Rearrange albums Tap Edit, then drag up or down.
    Delete an album Tap Edit, then tap the delete sign.
    Yes I can Add a new Album, but cannot delete an album already created. The delete sign does not appear.
    In iTunes the only folder that I can see listed is the man one into which iTunes stores pictures, which I have named iPhone Photos.
    When I look on my PC this iPhone Photos folder contains another folder named iPod Photo Cache and a multitude of folders created by iTunes, the named F00, F01,F02 etc etc. and a Photo Database file.
    Now whether I create a seperate folder within iPhone Photos to store my favourite photos in, or just copy them all into the iPhone Photos folder without being encased within another folder, or create a folder inside the iPod Photo Cache folder the result is the same ...
    I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
    I am going around in ever decreasing circles here and getting nowhere fast!! 

  • Does anyone have any new recommendations to help iTunes recognize that my 128 iPhone and 128 iPad aren't 16 GB models?

    I have suffered from this problem for years, but since upgrading to 128 iOS devices in September, the mysterious iTunes/iOS hidden data disease has gotten intolerable. Here's the deal:
    I use my iPhone and iPad mostly for media consumption. I don't have a ton of apps. I have lots of videos, music through iTunes Match, and a few pictures. I'm one of those dinosaurs who doesn't use the cloud but downloads it, stores it, and syncs it via USB frequently (which I would bet is the root of my problem). Although I have a large capacity devices, I sync almost daily. And each time I sync, my displayed free space and the space iTunes allows me to use differs more and more. Old fixes used to involve such things as restoring the devices, turning off automatic syncing, turning off photo syncing, turning off other syncing apps, etc. And these things were temporary fixes.
    Let me give you an example of what I mean by temporary. It has been exactly eight days since I last restored my iPad to brand spanking new, retaining nothing. In those eight days and approximately eight or nine manual USB syncs, each with an average of 60 GB transferred, I mysteriously have managed to lose 40 GB. This afternoon during my most recent sync, iTunes showed 86.3 GB free. However, as usual, it wouldn't sync anything close to that. By the time I had whittled my selections down to an acceptable amount, it still showed I had 47.2 GB free both in iTunes and in Settings on the iPad. Yet when tested it by trying to sync a 50 MB app, it said there was not enough available space. In days past, problems like this would take weeks or maybe even months to accumulate. And the culprit would usually be the "Other" category. When that happened, the remedies I described would help. This new beast is something else, though. Like I said, this took only eight days.
    I finally decided to post something, though, after I reset my iPhone to factory settings this evening. When I was syncing the initial apps and videos, it would not let me sync more than 30 GB of material. I don't know what to do, guys. I bought the maximum capacity devices because I like my HD content. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? If you say I just need to sync less, (1), Apple needs to get its act together, and (2) It might sound crazy, but I can probably only push it to 2 days, so I'd only be postponing my problems a few days.
    If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere. I have spent time searching, but all I found was the answers I have already tried numerous times.

    I got my baby iPhone the day it came out. Seriously, I love it. I'm not really mad about the price drop, a little frusterated, but I knew what I was getting myself into when I purchased mine so early. But, now that I know there are ringtones in the future, I just can't wait.
    So basically, does anyone know for sure when we will be able to get the ringtones? And what about iTunes on the iPhone, when will that pop up? I'm sure these questions have been posted already, but I just can't seem to find a sure answer.
    I'm worried that it is just my iPhone/computer that can't find the update to get all the cool new feautres, any help?
    thanks in advance!

  • Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient.

    Does anyone have a suggestion for an alternative to iCal that will interface with the Cloud so it works on the iPhone and the Macbook? I find iCal to be poorly designed and not very efficient. I waste a lot of time entering information because you can't go to a specific day and enter information, nor can you navigate between months and add information on a specific date by clicking on the date. You can't easily scroll month-to-month and once you do by scrolling through nine months to get to where you want to be, you cannot enter information by clicking on a specific day in the month and entering information. I just called Apple and they verified that this is the way it works. You cannot go to a date and enter information, you keep getting thrown back to today and then you have to go into the calendar and change it manually on the screen. It is just not efficient.

    APC, CyberPower are reliable.
    Look for 1500VA. As example:

      My iTunes is not able to sync the iPhone 4. I'm using windows 7 32bit. At the first step it gets stuck refelcting backing up the phone then nothing happens for ages. I'm using the latest iTUnes version, does anyone have similar prob??? There are no error codes which appear and the iTUNES just gets hanged, is there a solution?

    Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
    If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

  • Ok so I use an hdmi connector on my iPhone 4S to watch netflix. But after I updated to iOS 7 it will not work my tv doesn't receive a signal. Does anyone have any insure to this please help .!.!.

    Ok so I use an hdmi connector on my iPhone 4S to watch netflix. But after I updated to iOS 7 it will not work my tv doesn't receive a signal. Does anyone have any insure to this please help .!.!.

    The 8 pin Lightning connector can only output 720p and lacks all iPod Out functionality unlike the full iPod Out functionality and 1080p that the 30 pin connector has and I suspect that they are coding iOS 7 specifically for the new devices which have severely reduced abilities and perhaps skipping adding the code needed for 30 pin devices to use their functionality with HDMI, etc.

  • So, my ipod touch 4th generation has stopped working. every time i plug it into a wall or an outlet, it will regester that it has been plugged in, but it will not charge, and trurn on. does anyone have any suggestions? thank you.

    my ipod touch has stopped working. I will plug it into a wall, or computer, and it will register that it is plugged in, but it will not charge and turn on. does anyone have any advice? thank you.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
