How can I request a Factory Unlock for my iPhone 5?

I bought a used iPhone 5 that was locked to TMobile. I was told that I can request a free unlock from apple. I just wanted to know how I can go about doing this?

Only the carrier to which an iphone is locked can unlock it.
You would have to ask TMobile if they offer this service and if you qualify.
Contact TMobile. They are the only ones who can help you.

HT201328 how do i do a factory unlock to my iphone 4s?

How can i perform a factory unlock on my iphone 4s?

"Factory" unlock implies that the phone was purchased unlocked. Your phone is carrier locked. Only the carrier can unlock it. Contact the carrier to whom the phone is locked and ask if the phone can be unlocked and what the requirements are. Apple has nothing to do with this.

I have purchase iphone4 from someone,it is not factory unlock ,how can i get it factory unlock,its safari not working and its not showing drive on my computer

i have purchase iphone4 from gray market,it is not factory unlock,how can i get it factory unlock,
its safari not working and it is not showing drive in my computer.

iPhones are sold in carrier-locked and unlocked versions. If the phone has a carrier lock on it, you must contact the carrier to have it removed (you probably need to bring the phone to the carrier for the process). If you don't know the carrier, you won't be able to get it unlocked. US carriers will not remove the carrier lock and it cannot be removed.
How is Safari behaving that makes you say that Safari is not working? The lock status of the phone won't affect Safari, except that if the phone is locked and you aren't using the carrier (and SIM provided by the carrier) to which it is locked, then you can't use the phone or 3G service, only Wi-Fi.
The iPhone should not appear as a drive on your computer, so there's no error there.

Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address. My other devices all have the correct address. How can I get the correct address for my iPhone? The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can I buy a factory unlocked iPad mini without restriction of buying it with a cellular line?

I need to buy an iPad mini via the apple website which is factory unlocked, but the option I am getting is to buy it with a cellular line of which I will be tied to use only that line.
How can I proceed with this purchase?

Easily, you cannot. You can buy an unlocked iPad within a country in which an iPad is unlocked - Thailand, for example.

My wife and I share the same iTunes account. How can I setup a separate account for her iPhone using my iMac?

Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I

How can i get a serial number for my iphone 4s

my iphone stuck in recovery mode. i need a serial number how can get it fixed?

How to find the serial number of your Apple hardware product
A serial number will not get you out of recovery mode. Try this:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

How can I get new text tones for my iPhone 3GS?

You can't unless iOS5 includes this function, but even then it might just be for iPhone 4.

I bought an iphone4 to a friend from mexico, where can i get a factory unlock for telcel... im @ honduras

ok, my topic says it everything

If you have an iPhone 4 with a SIM slot, it will not work on Verizon. The Verizon iPhone 4 does not have a SIM slot, and any non-Verizon iphone 4 will not work with Verizon.
EDIT I just noticed this is in the 4S section, do you have a 4S? Verizon 4S does have a SIM slot, but the slot is not used for Verizon. You can try adding it, but if it is not a Verizon phone it won't work, 4 or 4S
