Hi, I just bought an Iphone 3 on ebay and everything is fine with but AppStore and Itunes are in different language. I am guessing that's because the seller lived in china. I can't understand a thing and Can't log in either
Hi the thing is that iOS doesn't up...And if does it only shows up Chinese. I really want to change the language to English but there is yet another problem. The thing is that the iPhone doesn't work with my Laptop and everytime I plug it in it doesn't show up. I've tried logging in but there is a thing that shows which has something to do with iOS and don't understand it because it is in Chinese. I already have an apple IPod touch and my old IPhone(which doesn't work anymore so I had to buy this one). Please help, I jus don't know what to do...
Return it for a credit. Buying things like phones and computers on eBay is not a good idea. If the person refuses to refund your money, use the eBay appeal process since you were sold something that does not work.

i have just bought an iphone 4s off someone and it does not seem to have siri can anyone help me
If you are using English as your language, then Siri should be available.
Have you registered your iPhone with Apple? If not, please do to confirm that you in FACT have an iPhone 4S.
You can do so here:

Or check your device without registering it here:

Hi, i'm Sameer frm Mauritius. I've bought an iphone 3gs frm ebay and it is lock. I dont have the original sim and i dnt know on which carrier it is lock. So now i want it to be unlock by apple so what i have to do? Plz some1 help me. THNX
You will have to call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number so they can advise who it is locked with. Then you will have to contact that cell provider and find out what their unlock process is, if there is a fee, and if you qualify. If it is locked to a company that does not have an unlock policy then you will not be able to unlock it.

i bought my iphone 4 through ebay and its unlocked. the problem is that my phone does not sync straight away. I sync my music file through autofill. I want to sync ringtones but its not working.
I saw cidya aap so i m not sure if it was jailbroken or not before but it is back to normal settings.
My problem started when I tried to sync my music files. I pressed 'sync' all it says is waiting for sync start, preparing to sync and then waiting for the changes to be applied. but it does not sync at all.
I found a way to sync my music files through autofill but I really wanted to sync ringtones but its not syncing and I really wanted to put ringtones in my phone please help.If you see the cidya app, your iPhone is hacked with the cutsie term for this being jailbroken. This also means all the built in security has been removed making the iPhone as insecure as an android device.
Restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup to get rid of that hacking garbage. If the iPhone has hacked to be unlocked, the iPhone will no longer be unlocked when doing so. -
HT204161 I bought an iphone 4s off ebay and cant unlock it
I bought an iphone 4s off ebay, and i cant unlock it because the previous owner got it second hand and that owner doesnt know the password. i have no way to contact that owner. I dont know how i am supposed to use the device because i cant get pass that. i didnt even know that it had this problem until i recieved it. What am i supposed to do?
Get a refund immediately.
You have probably been sold a previously stolen iPhone. It is Activation Locked as described here:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
Without the original owner's Apple ID and password being used to unlock it, the iPhone will remain forever useless to you. -
Hello - i just got an iphone in Dubai - i'm trying to configure it but there some instructions are in Arabic (I'm non Arabic speaking) - this specifically happens when I'm try to sign in to create a new apple ID
We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
The reset link for the security question will send the email to your rescue email account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 - that is the email account that you are checking, and you've checked the spam folder on it as well as the inbox, and tried clicking the reset link again ?
If you aren't receivineg the email then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to view your rescue email address to check that it's correct, in case you need to use it in the potential future use -
I Just bought a second hand iPhone 4S I am having issues with the hearing during incoming and outgoing calls, I have turned the volume up and checked my settings but I still have trouble hearing the other person speak. It works if it's on speaker or if I have headphones plugged in. I need help desperately!!!!! Any suggestions on what to do???
Hey Itsanaasaunders,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues hearing sound while on a call (receiver wise, not speakerphone). The following resource provides troubleshooting steps for this symptom:
If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound quality is poor on iPhone - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203800
Clear the receiver
The iPhone receiver won't work properly if it's blocked or dirty. Here's where the receiver is:
Follow these steps, testing after each:
- Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver, such as a case or film.
If you have a new iPhone, remove the plastic film on the front and back of the device.
- Check the receiver opening to see if it's blocked or dirty. If necessary, clean the receiver opening with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
- While you're on a call, turn on speakerphone. If you still can't hear, then your network or reception could be the issue. Try calling again later or from a different location.
Restart and update
1. Restart your iPhone and test again.
2. If there's still no sound or poor sound quality, update to the latest version of iOS.
Get more help
If you've tried these steps and there's still no sound or poor sound quality from your iPhone, contact Apple Support.
Thanks,

I bought a phone today off Kijiji and now I can't get in it because I don't have the icloude account that this phone was registered with. The person I bought it from is not answering me. Please help me out.
There is nothing we can do, you will have to get a hold of the seller.
This is the new activation lock feature Apple implemented in IOS 7. -
I bought an I phone 4 from ebay and it still has the last persons icloud e-mail. How do you do a hard reset
Get the account information from the person you bought it from. If they can't or won't give it to you, then return it for a refund. It's probably stolen. There is no way past activation lock.

I Having major issue ussing my Iphone that I brought on Ebay. IS this a junk phone now or can I go to apple to get this fixed for the Apple ID
Haitianstarz wrote:

Probably...
The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
you need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

I just bought a iPhone 5s(T-Mobile) and I was wondering if i could exchange it for a iPhone 6
Can i exhange a iPhone 5 for a iPhone 6 I bought recently. It's T-Mobile
Where did you buy it?
If you bought it an Apple store less than 14 days ago in the U.S. (I believe its 28 for the U.K) you can return the phone for a full refund, and use the money towards the purchase of an iPhone 6, but you will have to pay the difference.
If you did not buy it an Apple store, you would need to contact the store you bought it at to inquire about its return policies.
Apple does not do exchanges though. If you are past the return period you will have to sell the iPhone 5s and use the money to buy an iPhone 6. -
I bought an iphone 4 on ebay and the wifi won't work.
I can't even toggle the wifi switch to the "on" position. what is wrong with this thing? its 32 gb I am only using 6 gb of it. its really slow sometimes and i haven't activated it with the carrier cause i don't have verizon. i was planning on unlocking it and going to virgin mobile. but now verizon said they won't do anything for me cause i am not a verizon customer and apple says that it is no longer under warranty and to just figure out whats wrong i have to pay $145 and activate it with verizon, which i know i can't afford. i already paid $175 for it. and if i decide to send it back i can't restore it back to factory settings because i can't get online to turn off find my phone. what should i do?
A Verizon iPhone 4 can not be used with any carrier other than Verizon. If you can return it for a refund, do so.
