How can I reset the phone number under Imessage (iphone 4s unlocked tmobile ios 5.0.1)? The phone number from the person i purchased it from is grayed out and cannot be edited. Please help!

I bought this phone from someone and then I unlocked it using that gevey sim i think -- using it for T-mobile..
I can't get Imessage to work on my phone number because the old number is there and it is grayed out and cannot be edited.
I can use it but not with my phone number, only with email.
Can someone please tell me how to fix this so that I can send with my number?
Thanks so much

The advisor should not have told you this for legal reasons. There is no way of tracking the iPhones just of finding out which SIM cards were used to activate them and if they were activated at all. Court can authorize Apple to release this information to the count. There is no legal way without involving a judge.

  • Why is the "Show my windows and tabs from last time) option in Options- General is grayed out and will not let me restore previous sessions?

    After updating to Firefox 6, the option in the Options-> General section to "Show my windows and tabs form last time" is grayed out and will not allow me to set it. If I go to the Firefox homepage, the option does not appear, nor does it appear if I go under the History or Firefox tab.
    I tried to follow the directions on this website on the Session Restore page, but that seems out of date or just not helping.
    I even went to the about:config (about:session restore does not work) and there was nothing I saw that would work

    Firefox 6 seems to change your settings in Tools Options Privacy to "Never remember history". Once you change this to "Remember history" it will restore your previous session, as long as the setting in Tools Options General Startup is set to "Show my windows and tabls from last time"
    Bad idea Mozilla - installing 6 should pick up your settings from 5. This problem will confuse many users.

  • Safari screen grayed out and doesn't function. Help.

    Suddenly, the Safari browser stopped working. The screen appears grayed out and touching buttons in the Safari content area doesn't do anything. The search and address windows work and new pages load, but they don't function. The back and forward and other buttons also don't work.
    I haven't changed anything (that I know about)since the last time everything worked a few minutes ago.
    TIA for your help.

    Have you tried resetting the iPad?

  • How can I reset my iPad that is protected with my old Apple ID account, of which I no longer remember the password?

    So I have an iPad 2 and I stopped using it for a couple of months and now I tried to hard reset it and got it to work but it says the iPad is connected through Find My Phone to my previous account and I can't seem to be able to solve the problem. I no longer have the receipt so it's hard to prove I am the owner. I bought it used but the owner didn't also have the receipt. I get that this is something difficult to solve but can someone give me a hand?!

    If you were unable to convince a person that you are ther owner of the ID and ipad, then I doubt any computer system process will do it either.
    Activation lock is meant as a theft detterent and cannot be bypassed, you own a very beautiful Brick.

  • How can I reset my Apple ID on my iPhone 4S

    In setting up iCloud on my new iPhone 4S I put in the wrong Apple ID. Now, whenever I need to input my Password, this Apple ID always comes up, regardless of whether I'm trying to access the iPhone Store, the App Store, or iCloud.  How can I erase this wrong Apple ID and input the correct one for my phone?

    You will have to email iTunes Support.

  • Ipod mini 2nd gen 1 gb: not detected by laptop (win 7 64 bit), if detected: error during autofill and cannot be restored, please help :D

    My laptop does not detect my ipod mini (2nd gen 1 gb), when i connect it the orange light flashe 2 or 3 times then nothing happens. if ever that it will be detected by my laptop and when i sync music on it there will be an error and itunes will suggest to restore it to its factory setting and if i choose to restore it error 3194 happens. so my top priority of course is for it to be detected then fix the latter. please help any will be much appreciated

    This is an Answer for a Possible Solution. It worked for me and is still working. The issue I was having with my 64 bit vista, was Apple Mobile Device Service was not being installed, I dont know why. But I disabled any active running program through MSCONFIG, to allow a clean uninterrupted install of ITUNES 8.02. This allowed AMDS and drives from ITUNES to install. Hope this works for most of you.
    APPLE, please review your Support Methods. Re-installing doesnt help an issue that resulted from installing.

  • Did a bad personalization and cannot remove now, please help

    Well, I thought it was a simple move so I did not pay much attension. Now when I try to go to that page I've got an error page, and I cannot go to the right page to remove the personalization. Could you give me some suggestion. Thanks a lot!
    Thank you for your input

    Give Yourself "Functional Administrator" responsibility, go to Personalization tab, you'll need to figure out the document path of what you personalized or some other search criteria and from there you can delete or disable personalizations.

    Hi Liz,
    Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem.  Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File",  then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups  opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine.  I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked  "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1).  I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do. 
    The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu,  when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.  
    I am now a happy camper. 
    I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto,  that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"? 
    Good luck Liz,  if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.
    Karen

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps on this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

  • I am the administrator of my computer with other family members having accts. One member is grayed out and no one can access that acct.  Why and what do I do about it?

    I am the administrator of my iMac with other family members having accts.
    One members acct. is grayed out and cannot be accessed by anyone except him.
    I had put parental controls on it but now I cannot access it or change anything.
    I don't have permission.??

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
