  • Can i unlock an activation lock without previous owners help

    im looking at purchasing an iphone 5 which had ios 7 on it , how ever it has an activation code on it when starting up the phone its asking for a user name and password for the activation code how ever i do not know or cannot get contact with previous owner is there anything apple can do or anything that can be done with it thanks

    Here's a link to Apple's help on activation problems.  Apple can't do anything directly, you would need to do the troubleshooting.

  • How can i open my iphone 4s when i have forgotten my passcode ? without deleting everything on it

    how can i open my iphone 4s when i have forgotten my passcode ? without deleting everything on it

    Put it in recovery mode to restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screenand iOS: Recovery mode
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes
    You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
    Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
    When the backup is complete, select Restore.
    When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
    If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.

    You need to contact the cell phone Carrier the iPhone was made for, and request from that carrier for the iPhone to be unlocked. You must contact the Carrier, not Apple.

    Hello there, Shaneol10.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for troubleshooting your issue:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

    If the iPhone still isnt recognized, refer to these documents (depending on which Operating System you are using)
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    or

  • How can I open my iPhone 5S unlocked

    Dears.
    how can I make my Iphone 5s unlocked? I bought a new Iphone 5s from America and it is AT&T, so I cannot open it here in Oman. How can I make it work?

    The AT&T Customer Support website is at:
    http://www.att.com/econtactus/callUs.jsp?source=EAgs256CS00GOOZCP&WT.srch=1&wtPa idSearchTerm=at%26t+customer+service
    Try contacting something such as General Service, or International and see if you can get them to help.  The AT&T policy has been that they will only unlock an iPhone for a customer in good standing who has had a service contract for at least two years.  Talk with them and see what the result is.

    how do i open my iphone for israeli operation system like pelephone or orange ?
    i bought it last year in san diego

    If you bought a phone with a carrier plan, you can't "unlock" it. You will need to buy a factory unlocked iPhone.

  • How can i open my iphone for all the net works???

    hello guys
    my iphone lock to the at&t network
    how can i open him??
    help me please...

    The phone is locked by contract to AT&T.  Therefore the only way of breaking the contract is via AT&T.  You do not have any contract with Apple. Apple has nothing to do with the locking of your phone.

  • How can I connect my iPhone to my Mac without deleting all the apps on it?

    Last night I bought a bunch of apps using iTunes on my Mac. Then I connected my iPhone and put the apps from the computer onto the iPhone. So far so good.
    Today I opened up iTunes on another Mac and before connecting the phone first selected Store > Check for available downloads. A dialog came up saying "all purchases have been downloaded for this account."
    Under preferences I checked "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
    I then connected my iPhone to this second Mac and did the update to iOS 4.1.
    (By the way the reason I used the second Mac to do this update was that it failed repeatedly on the first Mac with an error saying something like can't create a session. I went through Apple's related troubleshooting document extremely carefully and methodically, but that didn't help. I then followed the recommendation in that document to try with a second Mac.)
    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Also in iTunes itself on the second computer all my new apps are missing. I looked under the "Library" section in iTunes and a bunch of apps that I've been trying over and over for months to simply delete are present and none of the ones I bought last night are present.
    Questions:
    1. How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
    2. How can I connect my phone to my computer without completely ******* up my phone? Does Apple provide a way to do that?
    3. Is there ANY way that I can effectively control what is and is not on my phone (apps, videos, etc.) or is that just supposed to be sort of random?
    By the way it appears that Apple doesn't allow "potty words" on its forum because we all are, after all, six year olds. So just to be clear, what I MEANT and what I WROTE was "eff u cee kay i en gee up my phone."

    Now all my new apps as well as several others are gone from the iPhone.
    Look on other screens. The 4.1 update ands Game Center to the home screen. If that screen was full it create a blank screen and moves one app from the home screen to the new screen to make room for Game Center. All the other screens are pushed back one place.
    How can I get my apps back? It cost me a lot of time and money to discover those apps and get them onto the phone. Are they just gone now?
    If they are really gone, you can download them again. You will not be charged again if you use the same iTunes account.

  • HT1430 How can you restart your iphone if your lock button does not work?

    How can you restart or turn off your iPhone if the lock button does not work?

    The best way is to let the battery die. Or you can reset the phone settings which restarts everything.
