How do I unlock apple iphone bought direct from apple
I bought my iphone 6 direct from Apple, however this was locked onto AT&T since the unlocked version was not available from apple at time of purchase - I asked AT&T if they had to unlock the iphone for me and they said NO since I bought the phone directly from Apple - please clarify how I can have my iphone unlocked as I would like to insert a UK card when I travel to UK and then reinsert by US card when back in america.
Thanks

Only AT&T is authorized to unlock the phone but you will have to meet their requirements, generally you would need to have service with them prior to them agreeing to unlock your phone.
Return the phone if you can and see if the Apple store is selling any unlock ones.
As of right now you won't be able to use the phone unless you activate it thru AT&T.

how can I unlock my iphone??? on the screen I only have the apple logo and a thing that looks like if the phone is working but no advance
Hi,
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

Hi! How can i stream a free movie directly from my iphone to my Apple TV?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can send movies to the Apple TV using Airplay in many cases. Not sure what you mean by free movie, so I can't tell you whether it's likely to be compatible or not, please tell us more. -
I bought a used iphone from a friend and I am not able to use it in Ethiopia. It is carrier blocked. Can you please help how could I unlock my iphone 4?.
Unlikely as you do not meet there requirements for unlocking.
Have your friend the provided the phone contact them. Based on your statements I am concluding he was or still is an AT&T customer, that is one of the requirements of getting the device unlocked. -

how can i unlock my iPhone 4s i bought off from eBay and is Verizon im current oversea i want to use a local sim card
First you'd have to establish service with Verizon. Once a paying customer in good standing, you can then request the GSM portion be unlocked. Obviously, you can't do any of that stuff while you're out of the US. They will not unlock the CDMA side.

how can i unlock my iphone 4s because i forgot my password and dont know the e-mail that i used wen i bought it please help me
See this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212, but if that doesn't help, the only other way to get past this is to restore the phone on the computer you normally sync with to your latest backup. This will remove the passcode.

How can i unlock my iphone 4? carrier doesn't give me an answer or anything!
How can i unlock my iphone 4? i'm from belarus. i bought it in austria (on ebay auction), contract t-mobile is ended. i ask a question to t-mobile and have no answer! i don't want to use jailbreak or anything illegal!
it's not just an apple thing htc, samsung and nokia also don't offer to sim unlock phones
the whole point of sim lock is that the user pay less then the phone cost because the carrier pay the rest
if it's not in your contact or the laws of the country you live in then the carrier is not forced to unlock it ever
and if the phone producers started to sim unlock phones they would face a HUUUGE lawsuit
and other carriers would start to stop carrying that brand -
How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock?
How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock? I can't find the previous owner and I really want to use my new iPhone, I did purchase it Second-Handed.and now I'm stuck. Ive tried recovery mode and nothing still restores and asks me the same thing. Been working on this forever- Please Help!
If you want to risk your money, fine.
To answer your questions
Is this just an iOS 7 feature?
Yes, Activation Lock is an iOS 7 feature.
Could you not restore the device to an earlier version?
No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device.
That may mean jailbreaking, I'm not sure.
Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple or this forum.
Or what about replacing the motherboard?
There are no user serviceable parts on an iPhone. -

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. -
