How can I get my old iPhone 5 (Verizon) unlocked for use with another carrier?

I have an iPhone 5 that was purchased with a Verizon Wireless account.  It is more than two years old and I have since upgraded it to a newer iPhone.  I want to give this phone to a friend in Germany.  His service will provide a new sim, if the phone is unlocked.  How can I get it unlocked so that it is no longer limited only to Verizon Wireless?

    Good afternoon Weth!  That is completely correct. All 4G phones are already unlocked for global use. If you contact your international carrier and insert their sim card, it will be ready to activate on the international network. If you have any questions regarding the compatibility of the international network, please reach out to them directly. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Thanks so much and safe travels to you!

  • How can i get my old iphone to download cloud ios

    I use my old iphone as an ipod.  Now that I have switched to the cloud, all of my music has disappeared from the unit.  I was able to complete it successfuly on my iphone, but not the older iphone.  How can I get the new os on my old phone so I can have music again.

    Enabling an iCloud account alone on an iOS device does not remove music.
    iOS 5 is compatible with the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPhone 4S.
    If your old iPhone is an iPhone 3G, you cannot install iOS 5 on it.

  • How can I get an old Casio CTK-593 to work with Logic Express?

    Title pretty much says it all.
    I have a Fast Track USB from M-Audio to connect it to my pc but I don't know how to get it working with Logic.
    Thanks in advance.

    Did you check your connection with the audio-midi-setup.app in the programs/utilities folder of your MAC (not "pc" pls)?
    If you have a working MIDI connection, you'll need to open up a software instrument track within Logic to play Logic's instruments via your keyboard.

  • Firefox 8, Linux--firefox has no toolbar/menu/whatever at the top of the Print Preview page. NO back button. nothing. don't know how I lost it, how can I get it back? other machines I use with firefox 8 don't have this problem.

    somewhere around the time of updating to firefox 8 (I can't be certgain exactly when it was, but I think it was a little while after the update) the print preview screen started showing up with no toolbar at the top, just the window contents and the frame. there's no way to choose "print", or "close print preview" or any other option because there are no options shown.

  • How can I trigger an automatic update of firefox for use with selenium?

    Firefox auto-update is not working on the server that I am working on. I am only able to update firefox by going to the menu|about page. I want to automate the update of firefox so that before I run my tests every night it will be updated to the newest version.

    You normally trigger an update check by opening the Help > About window.
    I don't know if you can trigger this action via Selenium.
    Otherwise you would have to check the update.xml file to see if updates are available.
    The Live Http Headers extension should give the URL after opening the Help > About window.

    How can I get my stolen IPhone 4 serial Nom.?

    Another option is if you synced the iPhone with iTunes on the computer. If you did that, go into iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices, and locate your last backup. If you hover the mouse over that backup, it will display the serial number, phone number, IMEI, and UIUD.

    You would have to ask Sprint if you qualify for unlocking.
    They will not unlock for use with domestic carriers, only for use with foreign carriers

  • How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?

    How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?  The Mavrick version is crisp and clean but a colored dot is not the same as a highlighted word. I rely on my iCal on my MacBook Pro and iPhone 5 to help me track which of the 8 sites I visit for my job during the week - the color coding is (was key) to organizing and tracking meetings.  I hate the upgrade! 

    If purchased through the Mac App Store then it can be installed on up to five authorized CPUs. Otherwise, it's controlled by the license that came with the software.
    To install on another computer copy the downloaded installer application to the other computer.

    Sorry Raj,
    If you did not back up your information, and you have now restored your phone, then your information is not recoverable.

  • I swapped my iphone from apple store india and my imei of iphone changed and i have lost the box and bill of phone , how can i get my old imei number.

    I swapped my iphone from apple store india and my imei of iphone changed and i have lost the box and bill of phone , how can i get my old imei number.

    Of course it changed. A phone's IMEI number is unique to each phone. The IMEI number for a phone does not transfer to another phone.
    Since your iPhone was exchanged under warranty without having the box and bill for the original purchase, you don't need it now either. The exchange under warranty remains under the warranty for the original purchase.

  • How can I get my old classic iPod library onto a new computer without losing either library? The songs on my iPod are from hundreds of CD's I don't want to re-import

    My original iPod has my old CD collection on it, hundreds of them painstakingly imported. Over the years, I have got new iPod, new iPhone, new computer, and run a separate iTunes library. But now I want my old collection on my computer. How can I get this old iPod music converged with my newer music and computer, without having to wipe out a library or lose any music?

    Hello jlfromcorona,
    Use the manual method of copying all the music from your iPod Classic, to your new Mac.  See this article for instructions.

  • How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

    How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!
