Globe telecom iphone 4 unlock code not provided by the carrier
I called my carrier asking for the unlock code because my 2 year contract for my iphone 4 has expired. I even offer to buy the unlock code from them as I want a legal way to unlock my phone 4. The customer rep told me it is up to the manufacturer to provide the unlock code but having read from apple's website, I told them only the carrier which was globe telecom can request apple for the unlock codes. Then the rep told me they are under no obligation to provide the unlock code. My question is , this is an old phone and the home botton does not even work anymore what I want is a legal way to unlock my phone from my carrier. How can I legally unlock my phone if my carrier Globe telecom Philippines won't provide or even let me buy the unlock code?
I don't want to jailbreak my phone I want to unlock it from this carrier. My contract is expired I want freedom to switch to other carriers!
Sorry, you're out of luck, as Globe does not offer unlocking for the iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, & there is no such thing as a "code".
Only the carrier an iPhone is locked to can authorize the phone's official unlocking. There is no other way to get any iPhone officially unlocked. Whether carriers offer unlocking is strictly up to them, unless required by law. In you case, Globe has chosen NOT to offer unlocking.
It is what it is.

If you have the iPhone in front of you, here's how you can learn the carrier:
Go to Settings > General > About and look at the "Network" row near the top. There's your carrier's name! -
Unlock Code not provide by providers ?!
Hi
I'm Phil, i have a cell phone nokia 6300 on SFR network in french.
I have called my operator for unlocked my phone but he say me, "I don't have this code sorry in your db"
Yet I bought my telephone in the SFR network
Help do you know a solution for my problem ?
Where do I contact if my provider can not help me?
In france unlocked phone is free after 6 months subscription.
Thank you for all
philIf a phone is factory SIM-locked, then the restriction codes are provided with the phone when it is sold to the network and/or retail chain. Most networks don't treat this information with any priority, so they usually end up having to reapply for it from the manufacturer, which is why it takes several weeks and costs the consumer money.
The manufacturer (be it Nokia or any other) will have the information archived, as faras they are concerned it id dead information relating to a piece of equipment that left their responsibility some time ago. The manufacturer may ONLY divulge the information back to the network in question, they cannot give unlocking info directly to the consumer, which is why it is so maddenning that so many networks tell their customers to "Ring Nokia/SE/Whoever"... -
How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint 15.1 at IOS 7.0.6 IMEI 99 000320 012095 0 .
The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?There is no such thing as an unlock code. Sprint may have processed the unlock, and then requested you restore the iPhone using iTunes to complete it. But that's it. There is no code to enter, and nowhere to enter it any way.

I have had my iPhone 4S unlocked by my provider. I am successfully using a monthly plan and a new SIM card. I have given the iPhone to my husband. We would like to erase my data so my husband can add his and use the Cloud to back up his data. If we go through the erase process what is the safest way to do this so we don't re-lock the phone and disable the current SIM card?
Hi
If it was unlocked legitimately it will never relock. As you said you have sent this to your carrier to unlock this will always be unlocked however many times you restore the phone.
Hope this helps -
I have an iphone 2g unlocked for tmobile. For the past 2 years it has worked fine then out of no where I get this message "your selected cellular network is no longer available" and the service cuts in and out all day. It can't find tmobile on my phone for some reason but for 2 years previous it could no problem? tmobile says it is a problem with my phone and not their service.
Any ideas what to do?I would just explain that this just started happening, that nothing has changed on the phone, that it is an original iPhone and I wondered if they are implementing a change in coverage with their Edge network in my area.
If you restore your phone, you will be given an option to back up your phone at the beginning of the process (see step 6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414). You will be given the option to restore to that backup at the end of the restore process. Your messages are stored in the backup so restoring to the backup will return the messages to your phone. Be sure to import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts somewhere before restoring your phone as these sometimesget lost in the restore process. -
iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?
Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

Hi I newly started using Iphone 6, I am not getting all the applications list under Use Cellular date for to restrict my unwanted apps on cellular data
Please help me outHi Rajesh778484,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that some of your applications are not appearing under Settings > Cellular on your iPhone so that you can restrict or allow use of cellular data. If you have some installed applications on your iPhone that are not showing here, the first troubleshooting step I would suggest would be to reset your iPhone. Please refer to the attached article for information on how to perform a reset.

I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon. Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?

The photos that I better (improves automatic) are saved on the iphone, but when I transfer them to my PC improvements appear no more, only on iphone. I do not understand why the improvements are just the iphone, and not continue when I transfer the photos to my PC.
Thanks.Chicky, I have searched my computer for "iPod Photo Cache" and 51 folders pop up, plus 3 files (iPodInfo.plist, Photo Database and Image DB Temp.tmp). How do I know which to delete and which to keep? The Apple website page tackling this issue doesn't go into any detail. Thanks yet again.

Iweb is not provided with the new version of AIR?
I just purchased new version of AIR, seems the iweb and idvd is not provided with the ilife. How can I get one?
It is now apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
All of these issues can be solved with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the boxed iLife 11 at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

In using it, I found out other's have had this issue and it likely means you have a 3G iPad? If you do, go into settings and turn off cellular data, then try to update again and you should be OK........
