    How can I unlock my iphone from Iusacel (Mexico) I moved to Canada and the Iusacel company told me they cannot do it. Can you tell me how? I want to keep using my iphone.

    The normal process is to request the unlock with the carrier.  They process it and pass it on to Apple to be applied to the Apple's iPhone database.  The carrier would then inform you when Apple has provisioned the unlock, and you would restore your iPhone as a new device in iTunes to apply the unlock (you would get a message at the end of that restore as new in iTunes indicating the unlock was successfully applied).  You could then restore your iPhone from backup to get everything back as it was.
    However, for some carriers, you seem to beed to complete the iTunes restore from within the country where they provide service.  Regardless, have you tried restoring as new in iTunes to see if it processes any provisioned unlock request?  Just be sure to backup the iPhone first, before restoring as new.

    how can i unlock my iphone from the us?? please help

    If you are referring to a lock to a specific cell carrier, so you can use the iPhone with a different carrier, only the cell carrier to whom the phone is locked can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact the carrier.

  • How can i restore my iphone from itunes if "search my Iphone" is activated

    can someone help me to restore the iphone without having to disable "find my iphone" because tildo me the phone and I can not even unlock. I can not turn off, I can not restart and itunes asks me to descative that but I can not .. please someone answer me soon not know what else to do

    If you own this iPhone, and were the original owner, and it's your Apple ID and password that are used on Find My iPhone, then go to http://www.icloud.com/find and remove your iPhone from Find My iPhone that way.
    But I suspect it is someone else's Apple ID and password being requested.  You will need to contact that person, otherwise, your iPhone will remain Activation Locked as described here:

  • How can i unlock my iphone from apple ID

    Hello guys plz i need ur help
    my cosuin have sent me an iphone 5 he lives in sweden
    he bought it from a guy there. so when i startes up my phone its shows that the phone is locked
    and its linked to the apple ID of that guy. Well now my iphone is useless
    we couldnt contact with that guy cause we dont know him :/
    any help plz

    There is no way to activate it without his password. It's not a good idea to purchase from someone unless you have a way to contact them and they are trustworthy. Sorry, but you can't use that iPhone at all.

  • How can I sync my iphone from itunes? It seems to be "blocked"

    Hi! I bought my iphone on march in NY & when I came back to argentina and configured it, I discovered it isn't able to sync music, videos or photos from itunes. I also have an Ipad but I've never had problems with it. I don't know what to do. When I press the sync button it just doesn't download the files to the iphone. I 've tried to manually choose the music I wanted to sync, but I'm not able to press the buttons as they don't seem to work. Also, on the phone it shows there's no music files.

  • I can't open my IPhone in iTunes because it has a password lock

    I haven't used the new itunes until now. When I connect my iphone I get a message in itunes saying that it cannot import from my iphone because it has a passcode. I didn't have this problem with an earlier version of itunes. So, when I plug my iphone in I get the message in itunes and on my iphone I am prompted to trust the computer. I select trust and I still can't access my iphone. It seems that the only way to connect is to temporarily disable the passcode on the iphone. Actually I just noticed that my iphone isn't listed in Finder. Help!
    thanks for your help

  • How can i unlock my iphone from a Japanese carrier???

    I have bought an iphone 5s from Japan and it worked fine until i went to my service provider to check why my 3G wasnt working. My service provider then told me that my sim card wasnt being read by the phone anymore after she reset my network settings. My phone is apparently locked to NTT Docomo and Vodafone told me to email them, but all i get when i email them is an automated msg giving me a referance number which is practically useless because they never followed through and its been 2 weeks now. Even this morning i emailed them with the referance number they gave me and all i get is the same email they had sent me in the very beginning saying..
    Thank you for your interest in NTT DOCOMO.
    We will do our best to respond to all reasonable inquiries in a timely manner.
    However, please note that some inquiries may take longer to address depending on their nature.
    Please also note that auto reply does not guarantee that your inquiry will be addressed.
    and then underneath my referance number again.
    I have already spent a lot on this phone and all these sites offering to unlock my phone for a price which is not guranteed makes me wonder if its safe or not.
    The wierd thing is that i had bought 2 others mobiles for my dad and cousin when i bought mine and they are both working fine!

    I have tried ...i used the correct area code and all. Its saying the number is not available at the moment ...even the japanese speaking only number i tried and i got these numbers from their site. I dont know how else i can contact them!

  • How can i unlock my ID of apple if I forgot my password?

    Hi guys, i got a problem with an iphone 4s, my father just bought it in april of the last year, but the equipment was so complicated for him, then he bought another cellphone, and want to give me the iphone but they reset it to factory settings... when he did it the iphone ask him the old ID but he already forgot the count and the password, then we try to recuperate the count and now we have it, but the trouble is that we enter the wrong password many many times, and NOW the ID of apple is locked. We don´t know if the iphone got the new operating system iOS 7, so to unlock the equipment will be implosible.

    If your father presents himself in person to an Apple Store or Authorised Apple Service provider, and has the iPhone's original sales receipt unequivocally identifying him as the iPhone's original purchaser and legitimate owner, Apple can remove it from iOS 7's Activation Lock restrictions.
    There may be a fee involved.
    You or he might also be able to reset his Apple ID password by starting with this page:

  • How can i detach my iphone from my itunes (NOT from my apple ID)

    how can i detach my iphone from my itunes (NOT from my apple ID)

    Hello Laurien123,
    Can you tell me a little more about your situation?  I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish.   You authorize your computer to sync or download iTunes; you associate your iPhone with your Apple ID, not with iTunes.
    Please reply if you can with a little more information, and I'll do what I can to help.
    Authorize your computer in iTunes - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201251
    Do I need to authorize my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch?
    No. You don’t need to authorize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but you do need to associate your iOS devices with your Apple ID. Your iOS devices don’t use your available authorizations.
    Have a great day!

  • HT1414 how can i transfer my apps from itunes of my computer to my iphone 3gs??

    how can i transfer my apps from itunes of my computer to my iphone 3gs??

    Which apps? The iPhone apps you have selected/purchased on the iPhone App Store thru iTunes?
    Or the apps installed on the Mac?
    For the first case, simply connect the phone, start up iTunes if it doesn't do so on its own accord, click on your phone's entry on the list in the left column, select the Summary tab to make sure all is well, then click on the Sync button on the bottom edge of the screen. If you want, you can click on the Apps tab and arrange your applications how you like them prior to the sync, too.
    If the second case, no can do. iPhone apps run on iPhones, Mac apps run on Macs.

  • How can I unlock my iphone with a black screen to back up to itunes?

    How can I unlock my iphone with a black screen to back up to itunes?

    Reset the phone:  Press both the home and on/off buttons for AT LEAST 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  (No data loss)
    If no response, connect to AC adaptor, charge for at least 30 minutes and repeat the reset if needed
    If still no response, there is a hardware failure that needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

  • HT201269 I have new iphone and all data were restored but my music! How can I add my music from Itunes and new iphone?

    I have new iphone and all data were restored but my music! How can I add my music from Itunes and new iphone?

    Connect the old phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your music in iTunes except any tracks that were not purchased from iTunes. If you have any such you will have to retrieve them from the original source, or see: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
    Apple also has this tip for copying data from an old phone to a new one.
