Apple will NOT unlock a phone for you; only the carrier it is locked to can do that.
You put it on one carrier, somehow it got lock. Apple will NOT unlock it for you. You have to get the CARRIER to do that. If you bought it UNlocked, but got a locked one, take it back. Just because you got your iPhone contract FREE does NOT mean it is UNlocked, it mean you can cancel you usage from that carrier at any time, but still can't take your phone to a new one and use it.

  • HT4972 how come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube or pinerest app? it keeps giving me a message to use iOS5

    How come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube and pinerest app? i keep getting a message to update to iOS5 if i must use iOS5 how do i update to that one because it just took me 4 hours to figure out how to update to iOS6

    We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work.  We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either.  The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps.  ***** doesn't it.

  • How come you can not use more than 126GB of a 1.5TB diskdrive with LabVIEW Real Time?

    How come you can not use more than 126GB of a 1.5TB diskdrive with LabVIEW Real Time?
    This is only 8.3% of the available disk drive space!

    National Instrument's solution is either reformat you drive to less than 126GB or replace the drive with one less than that size.
    Please NI, tell me you are going to fix your LabVIEW Real Time soon, and that we won't have to wait for LabVIEW RT 9.2.1 in 2011 for this one to be fixed.
    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/90​/Hard_drive_capacity_over_time.svg
    Drives as large as 126GB or more have been around since about mid 2002.  That's about 7 Years now and LabVIEW Real Time STILL can't use drives larger that 126GB!  Please NI.  Do something.
    We deserve fixes to the old versions of LabVIEW RT.  How about updates to LabVIEW RT.  Such as 7.0.2, 7.1.2, 7.6.2, 8.0.2, 8.2.2, 8.6.2.
    We don't need new features or versions of LabVIEW RT such as 9.0 until we have some of bugs fixed in the existing versions.

    NI is not making the Real Time OS in house. I do not remember which firm that is making it. Anyway you are allowed to use a hard drive that has been partitioned. And 126GB is some space is it not? I remember Bill Gates declared one time that 640Kb ram should be more than enough for any PC application also in the future 
    Coq Rouge (formerly t06afre),
    The RealTime OS is an NI Product that is purchased from NI.
    NI may or may not outsource design, developement, or manufacturing of the products that it sells under its own Company name.
    For this reason I would be concerned if I were a PXI Embedded Controller designer/developer in the United States. 
    Yes, 126GB is some space.  I see that there are now 2TB drives available.  126GB would be 6.3% of a new 2TB drive.  Should we all be happy with being able to use 6.3% of the available drive space.  Moore's Law seams to be alive and well.  Drives larger than 126GB have been readily available for 5 or 6 Years.  This should not be a surprise to NI.  Why don't they do something about it.
    Thanks for the trivia on Bill Gates.  I must have missed that one since I don't try to keep up with Microsoft.  I believe that he is a wonderful person and he and his family are doing wonders for the world in their "retirement".   The world needs more like him.
    What I do remember is Steve Jobs telling us that we would never need more that 128MB and that we would never to need to do anymore software development because everything was already in the "ToolBox".

  • How come I can't use the back gesture in certain apps with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion OS?

    How come I can't use the back gesture with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion? I figured out that in Safari i have to use a 1 finger swipe to go back a page instead of 2 fingers like i used to do in Snow Leopard. But apps like iTunes and iPhoto and i can't do that. Any ideas? is there a setting im missing to make this work? It works in Safari but not any other applications, so im assuming theres no setting for this. Just want to know if this is just a bug that will be fixed in the next update or if its something I can fix now. Any help would be appreciated because its kind of annoying. Other than this minor issue I love Lion. Full screen apps are unbelievable.

  • How come I can't use Bill me later to purchase a gift card

    how come I can't use Bill me later to purchase a gift card

    From what I've read, you don't get a credit card number on a BML account, just an account number. Because of this, there is really no way to use the account as a funding source for the iTunes Store. You may be able to use Bill Me Later with the Apple Store to order gift cards, but I'm not certain. You can call the Apple Store and ask.
    Regards.

  • HT4623 how come i can not update my iphone 4 to ios 6

    how come i can not update my iphone 4 to ios 6

    I may be completely wrong, but I think you may need iTunes 10 to update to 6.0 or 6.0.1. I'm also not completely sure what firmware the built-in update feature was implemented, so if all else fails, check the General tab in Settings to see if you can update from the iPhone itself.

  • How come I can not delete photos in iPhoto?

    Why can I not delete photos in the iPad or iPhone.  A few photos allow it but most don't.  Also, how to copy a photo to photo stream

    you can't delete photos that were synced to an IOS devic- apple imposed limitation, you can not delete photos from photostream - thanks again apple, maybe by IOS 6 we will be able to manage our own photos & videos!
    the work around i found if you want to transfer a photo or two at a time (emailing to yourself) is to batch upload photos using an app called "droptoroll" works great and is free, but no video support. puts the photos into the camera roll folder so you may delete them as you want! sorry no help for photostream management - hear in the future apple will allow deletion of individual photos from the stream. Again another oversite by apple photostream does not support videos, mobile me did though

  • I had restore my ipad demo, but how come it can not to install any new apps?

    before i restore my ipad demo, it can install many apps, but just can not to remove it all. so i try to restore it, ok, after i done, and try to install new apps, but it dont have a button like "free" and "install", how come??

    Does it have an icon of a cloud with a down arrow through it? If you've already purchased the app, you don't have to buy it again. The cloud icon means that it's already been purchased and is now stored in the cloud, in your iTunes account. Tap the cloud icon to download it to your device.
    If you indeed have a store demo unit, then I wouldn't have a clue if what I mentioned above does not answer your question.

  • How come Apple can not do it anything when one of the products are stolen .

    Con tanta tecnologia no pueden hacer nada ...es increible!
    My son just bought his new iPod touch 3 weeks ago and got stolen in the subway station ....Apple can not do anything?

    How can you expect apple to track a million devices that are stolen every year across the globe? You had find my iphone on it, you can see if someone connects to a wifi source. If its not connected to the internet or gps how can it be tracked? You cant do it. The best things you can do it hope it shows up on find my iphone if you had it ON and change your itunes passwords. Sorry

  • HT204391 How come Apple can't use its own software to create this guide as a pdf or an iBook?

    Does Apple actually use its own software?
    The woefully few manuals it manages to provide now are all created in Indesign and desperately need the critical eye of an editor to correct the errors, ommisions, obsolescence and plain confusing statements.
    As Apple's efforts grow ever more obscure, awkward, contradictory and difficult to use, it tells it Users next to nothing about how they all work.

    LOL, I saw the points tally and thought at first  you were opening a thread to motivate some ideas to pass back!
    I assumed also that the points did not come  from iBA and like others... were experienced and skilled dealing with Pages etc,.
    Fact is  Apple cloned iBA from Pages - which is basically a sound concept and suits a purpose.. but the cry as always been... "give us a decent manual".  Apple in their wisdom apparently did not conceive that people would use iBA having never used pages. I actually purchased iWorks back in 2005 for  my then new PowerPC G5 10.4.11 tried it and went back to  MS Publisher!
    18 months or more on depending on iBA's release, most  users are pretty much capable now but  a few new comers from other software packages  do seen to  have trouble getting information to start up.
    From Apples point of view.. their project worked, the software  as it is as flooded the book store with product dedicated to iPads and therfore income for Apple only.  I have no doubt the next update will deal with some of the isssues sent  in as feedback.
    Meanwhile, welcome to the club.........

    Edited by: user8117130 on May 4, 2009 9:23 AMHi,
    This is a static parameter which means you can't change it when the db is running. If you are using an spfile, you need to change the query as ,
    alter system set audit_trail=true scope=spfileAnd then give a bounce to your db. If you are usnig a parameter file, than change in that and restart.
