Hi Dude,
I ve seen all the threads from first to last even am gonna get a iphone 4s from Thailand. Would like to know which sim will be working fine in chennai as you all are using d phone for past many days??? Is it advisable to buy a phone from abroad.

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks

I just installed itunes 10 and all it does when i open it is show me the software agreement, and if I click "accept" or "decline" it closes and does nothing else. It does the same thing when i try to play music on it. (By the way, I have Windows XP SP3.)

I just installed iTunes 10 and all it does when I open it up is show me the software license agreement, and if I click either "accept" or "decline" it closes up and does nothing else. It does the same thing when I try to play mp3 files, just opens up the license agreement and nothing else. It also doesn't recognise my iPod touch when I plug it in, thinks it's a digital camera. Please help! (By the way, I have Windows XP SP3.)

If I buy an unlocked iphone 6 in the uk and have a uk sim card in it initially, will i be able to use my german sim card in it when i'm in germany and return back to my UK sim card on my return?

Yes. But make sure you buy it at an Apple Store. Other stores selling SIM free iPhones will sell those that will usually lock to the carrier whose SIM is used to first activate the phone. Then you will be stuck.

I Want to buy an unlocked iPhone 5, how do I do that?

Step one: Wait for Apple to actually release unlocked iPhones in the U.S.
Step two: Take your credit card to your local Apple Store.

My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud. My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced. I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?

The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

TS2529 I had backed-up my iPhone and when I try to restore it it says that the back-up is corrupt or the iPhone is not compatible. I had a bunch of pictures that I need from that restore. Is there any way to get them back? I did the back-up to my Macbook

If the backup is corrupt, there is nothing that can be done.
For what reason did you choose to not copy the pictures off the device to a computer prior to attemping an update or whatever caused the need to restore? iPhones are not intended as sole storage of any media.

My iPhone is split from front panel on top, and back cover of my is swollen too. I am not able to use my phone and I cannot access my data in the phone. Please suggest what could be the cause of this problem?

It sounds like the battery might have gone bad, and is swelling and causing the symptoms you describe. Do not attempt to use the phone, but take it to Apple for evaluation.

I am moving to the Netherlands and want to be able to use my iPhone 4

Hi There,
I am moving to the Netherlands in the next two months and I want to be able to use my iPhone 4 the same way I use it in the U.S. What would be the procedures that would enable me to do this? What phone carriers should I go through to allow this? I have unlimited data plan, texting and minutes. I know I'm supposed to get my iPhone unlocked, but if I do this what problems will I run into in doing so? Can I still get software updates? Will my voicemail still work, etc. etc. Thank you!

Sorry, but if your phone is locked to AT&T, there is no way to get your phone officially unlocked. AT&T will not unlock an iPhone for anyone for any reason. Sell it before you move & purchase a phone when you get there.

HT4515 I want to buy an unlocked 4s from apple and use it permanently on a foreign CDMA cell service (IUSA Cell in Mexico). I am getting conflicting information. Thoughts?

I want to buy an unlocked 4s from apple and use it permanently on a foreign CDMA cell service (IUSA Cell in Mexico). I am getting conflicting information on whether this is possible. Apple website says the phones are unlocked for GSM use only.
I called apple when i bought an Ipad to help decide on a GSM vs CDMA version and was told that if I went to Mexico with a CDMA version of the Ipad (2) that i would call the carrier give them some numbers and they would activate it. When i returned I was to call Verizon and reactivate it in the US. I ultimately got the GSM version so i never tested the theory.
I am now thinking of getting the 4S to use in Mexico permanently but want to use it on a CDMA carrier because it is half the cost per month. But will this work? Thoughts?

There is no such thing as an unlocked CDMA iPhone. All CDMA iPhones are carrier locked and the carriers do not allow unlocking. All legitimatly unlocked iPhones are GSM only The CDMA side is completely disabled in them.
You can only use a CDMA iPhone if the carrier you want to use offers one.

I want to buy an iPhone from the apple store is it work in the Middle East

Hello I live in Saudi Arabia and I would like to buy an iphone from your website ( the store ). I only wanted to ask is it work in the Middle East ?

Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases! It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'!

The salesperson for my iphone 4 said on Christmas morning we could go to our online account, select my number, select to change my SIM card, and enter the ICCID number so that I'd be able to use my iphone 4 today. I have not seen any such steps. Help?

I suspect the salesperson that told you that meant your online account with your carrier...have you tried logging into your carrier account online? To do this will require the sim number on your sim card, as well as the phone's IMEI number...you get the sim number off the sim card & the IMEI number, for the phone, is printed on the box.
