How do I know when my iPhone has successfully been unlocked

been waiting 2 weeks for my iPhone to unlock, I was told it appears in iTunes that it has.. Can anyone tell me where it tells me when it has?

Possible activation error causes:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.
Note that if the iPhone was jailbroken to unlock it prior to "legal" unlocking the unlock will fail. There is no solution in this situation.

  • How do I know if my iphone has successfully been backed up to my iTunes? I plugged it in and it said it backed up and I did a sync, but when I am looking through the summary page and I am not sure that all of my data got backed up. Please help!!

    I have never backed up my iphone to my itunes because I always used the cloud. However, a few months ago, my wifi disk in my phone burned out so the Apple Store told me to back up everything to my itunes. I am going today to get the iphone 6 so I connected my phone (iphone 4S) to my itunes and I backed up and synced. However, when I look throughout the summary page and click in different areas (Photos, Movies), I don't see any of my data -- it is still asking me to Sync from iPhoto or to sync from another location. By backing up & syncing my phone, did all of my data get saved? Or do I still need to do more steps?
    Sorry for the long winded question, I am just so nervous to get a new phone and plug it in to be restored and not have any of my pictures, videos or contacts, etc. Any help would be so so appreciated!

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

    Hey Cherielly,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Since you are having an issue with syncing to a different apple id. You may want to make sure you are signing in with the correct apple id.
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

  • How can i know if my iphone 4s is factory unlock?

    how can i know if my iphone is factory unlock?

    Hi there,
    Ask the vendor where you bought your iPhone, they can tell you if it is locked, and if so, when you can have it unlocked. If  you don't know, where the phone originally was bought, you can also contact Apple and have them verify the serial number of your iPhone against their database. If it has a carrier lock, they will know.
    Please note that if your phone does have a carrier lock, only the carrier, who had implemented the lock, can authorize Apple to remove it.
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

  • How could i know that my iphone 4 s r unlocked completed

    How could i know that my iphone 4s are unlocked completed?

    If you requested an unlock from the carrier the device is locked to, they advised you they had approved an unlock, then generally the method to complete the unlock is to restore the device as new through iTunes, at which point you will see a message on iTunes when complete that says, Congratulations, you iPhone is now unlocked.

  • How do i know if my iphone 4s is already unlocked?

    ived already do the procedure to unlocked,now how do i know if my iphone was already unlocked?

    Then backup your iPhone and then Restore it in iTunes again, but not from backup but as a new iPhone. You should get the message then you can Restore again from your backup.
    This is assuming you are doing an official unlock through your cell carrier.

  • How will I know if my iPhone 4S is factory unlocked

    I want to know if my iPhone 4S is factory unlocked please share some help..

    Just because you didn't jailbreak it doesn't mean that the seller didn't. They could have easily done so and resealed the box; this is quite commonly done by unauthorized resellers. In Qatar only Vodaphone is an authorized reseller of the iPhone. If the iPhone was purchased from some other seller, there is no way we can know whether the iPhone is indeed truly unlocked or was jailbroken.

  • How can i know if my iphone 4s is factory unlocked?

    i need to know if my iphone 4s is factrory unlocked or not...please i need help

    Only the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can officially unlock it. Verizon and Sprint will do so only for international roaming and only for customers who have an account in good standing with them, so if you got a Verizon or Sprint iPhone, you would be best advised to return the gift and hope the sender can still return the iPhone, or sell it if they cannot. AT&T does permanent unlocks of iPhones for use with any compatible carrier, but you will have to 1) determine if you have an AT&T iPhone and if you do 2) contact them and ask if you can get the iPhone unlocked.
    Regards.

  • JComboBox Event? How do I know when a JComboBox has been clicked?

    What event is fired when a JComboBox is pressed?
    I can tell when an item has been selected but I want
    to know when the combobox was clicked originally.

    Two (untested) ways of doing this:
    1. Subclass JCombobox and fire an event when the box is opened. To find out when its opened, you'll probably have to look at the source for JCombobox and override the method.
    2. use the model as a clue. Chances are the underlying combo box model will have its getValueAt() method called when the user opens the drop down box. Cant be sure that thats the only time itll happen tho,,

  • How i can know if my iPhone 4S is factory unlocked?

    I just got a brand new iPhone 4S from my carrier (GSM) as a contract renewal, (2 Years contract)
    i was messing around and i inserted a SIM card from a different carrier, and it worked! (3G, Voice, Data, SMS/MMS, etc)
    i want to know if this means that my iPhone 4S is factory unlocked?!
    How i can know for sure?
    Thanks!

    i bought it in a 2-year contract.
    but how come it works on different carriers sim cards?
    its possible that my carrier is giving away unlocked iPhones, on 2-year contract?
    Other thing i recall, on the back part of the iPhone's box i recall that the iPhone 4, has the brand of the carrier, as att, like this -> http://cl.ly/BNaG
    Now my iPhone 4S box is unbranded, since it doesnt has the carrier logo anywhere.

  • How do I know if my iPhone 4s is factory unlocked.

    I got a replacement 4s from the Apple store when my Virgin Mobile 4s broke.  They don't carry Virgin Mobile iPhones in the Apple store so I was given an unlocked CDMA 4s.  How do I know if it is really unlocked?

    shaunp45 wrote:
    CDMA providers do not have SIM cards to try
    Not entirely true.
    All iPhones 4S's and 5's have SIM cards.  The SIM is required for connecting to a GSM or LTE network.
    Verizon, Sprint, and Virgin provide SIMs in their iPhones.
    You are correct that traditional CDMA phones do not have SIM cards, the iPhone 4 being a prime example.
