How to get Apple to carrier unlock alltel iphone5c (alltel doesn't exist in co ohio anymore) ALSO will straight talk work on it?

can an apple unlock it? Will straight talk work on this carrier locked cdma 5c? Alltel doesn't exist in col Ohio anymore and at&t can't do turn it on because it's carrier locked...I need to find a way to get it cut on somehow or I'm out almost $200.00   I called alltel and they can't unlock it until I have "previous owners info" ***? The phone is used so how am I gonna figure that out?

Edited:
Without the previous owners assistance the phone is under Activation Lock and Apple will NOT help you.  You must get the previous owner to turn off activation lock and remove the phone from iCloud.  If you can't, you have a nice $200 paperweight.  Sorry.  The Carrier lock is an entirely different subject.  You won't be able to do anything until the phone is released from the previous owner.

  • Will straight talk work on a carrier locked iPhone 5c (alltel)n

    ive read online reviews of straight talk working on locked cmda iPhone 5c. Has anyone had an experience with this? I've also read on straight talks website that cmda phone don't need to be unlocked only gsm phone have to be unlocked. I just need confirmation before I go and spend $50-60 bucks! Thanks

  • Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion to connect with Exchange 2007?

    Does anyone know how to get apple mail in Lion 10.7.2 to connect with Exchange 2007?  It worked perfectly with Snow Leopard... upgraded to lion and it won't work.  We use Exchange 2007 with SP 3 and Rollup 4.  Won't connect... and I can't get Apple to give me any direction. 

    We finally got it to work today.  We had to call and pay for the microsoft support service, but the issue was on the server end.  We had to go into the iis manager... went to sites... when to default website...and changed the SSL settings for Auto Discover, EWS Exadmin, echange, exchweb, owa... and the rest..
    Change the settings to ignore client certificates.
    Problem solved. Can finally send and receive.

  • Re How to get apple to stop blocking online wagering apps?

    Would anyone have any suggestions for how to get apple to stop blocking online wagering apps in New Zealand? They block them with 'online wagering is illegal in NZ with a mobile device'. This is not true in relation to racing and many forms of online wagering. I have tried AppleCare and the person I dealt with eventually agreed with me but said he could not help. He suggested this forum as he believed postings were read by Apple. I have been able to access the sites via apps on Samsung pad no problems. Don't really want to ditch my iPad and iPhone though.

    Apple's legal department would probably just ignore any such comments. I'd suggest the iTunes Store request page:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Again, you will not receive a reply.
    Regards.

    Leave feedback for Apple at www.apple.com/feedback, or contact your email provider.  It's the email providers that give that info to Apple, so both parties need to be updated.

  • How to get Apple to remove a defective app from the App Store

    The first app I paid for in the App Store turned out to be defective and is at worst incompatible with the iPhone 4 and is at best badly designed even for the iPhone 3. The developer has not responded to my e-mails. How do I get Apple to remove the defective app from the App Store?

  • How to get Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information I want to create a Paid Books Account use apple ID

    I was given this address from the Apple customer support team.
    I have an active existing iTunes store account and use the same Apple ID for signing into my iTunes Connect Account that distributes Apps.
    I have created some books using the iBook author and in order to distribute content on the iBookstore I have been told electronically that I need a new Apple ID and password that is different to iTunes store account which I have already activated and completed contracts, tax information and bank information valid until 2013?
    I want to create a Paid Books Account using the same email address, tax information and bank information. This has been most frustrating, as I cannot get passed the sign in section and there is no contact person I can speak to. I was of the understanding the iTunes connect account and the Developer programs which I paid good money for is all what I needed to be paid for selling iBooks on the iBookstore???
    I only have one email address and wish to also use it for the Paid Books Account. I have books ready to be exported and published.
    I am also having trouble locating and downloading iTunes Producer. I understand I need to have the Paid Books Account active to access the iTunes Producer program. Please help.
    See additional information below:
    What device did you use to connect to the store?  Mac computer
    Which operating system is installed?  Mac OS X v10.7.x

    Hi Lrwill,
    If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
    Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
    Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
    Cheers,

  • I'd like to know how to get the SIM Network Unlock PIN for my DROID2 GLOBAL

    I am living in Haiti and I made someone buy a Droid2 Global for me in USA. I have had the phone for 2 months but I never could operate it.  Any time I open it, it requires that I enter a SIM Network Unlock PIN that I have not.
    I' d appreciate you help me get the SIM Network Unlock PIN for my Droid2 Global which IMEI is the following: {edited for privacy}.
    Many thanks in advance

    If the incorrect PIN code is entered too many times, a PIN Unlock Key must be obtained from Verizon Wireless at 908-559-4899 if you are outside of the United States and 800-922-0204 or *611(send) from your mobile number inside the United States..
    The SIM PIN option is only available when the handset is in GSM / UMTS mode. Refer to Network Mode Setting for further assistance.
    Thank you, LatachaM_VZW
    Are you talking about the PUK code (when the PIN for the SIM has been wrong too many times)?  The OP is talking about network unlock, and is using a foreign SIM.   Global Services certainly wouldn't have the unlock code for a SIM that isn't theirs.
    I have heard that if you do enter the incorrect network unlock code too many times, the phone becomes permanently locked (i..e cannot be unlocked even with a valid unlock code) but not everyone agrees that this is true for all phones.
    Jax's post above really says it all, you will need to search the web for a service that will unlock this Motorola phone.  In doing so, you might find a number of threads that say the Global has to be activated in the US before an unlock code will work.  Others were able to unlock without this. 

  • TS2774 I have an unlocked at&t iphone 4 and I want to use this phone on straight talk and all works but the data package. what can I do to get it to work?

    I need to know if apple makes it possible to change the apn on an unlocked at&t iphone....

    Because somebody has been apparently living in a cave for the past 48-72 hours.... LOL :-)
    Straight Talk now offers the iPhone (NOT the same as the SIM program that they have offered). It operates on the Verizon network. It went on sale this morning. http://iphone.straighttalk.com
    And you are NOT correct. I know this for a fact - I'm actually a Straight Talk "BYOP" user. You must install a configuration profile. Period. There's no way around it - iPhone defaults to the AT&T carrier bundle (based on the ICCID number of the SIM card, which identifies itself as an AT&T SIM), which includes settings that will not work and will lock out the menus that are necessary to make changes to allow data to work.
    The only way to make modifications to the APN settings (that Straight Talk includes in their package) is a configuration profile. Doesn't matter if the phone is locked or unlocked.

  • How to get rid of files on time machine that no longer exist

    I replaced my computer several months ago when my old one died. A large amount of data which was in a partition on my old computer is still on my time machine and is taking up a lot of space and forcing time machine to delete backups much sooner than I would like. I don't know how to get rid of it. If I try to delete that folder from an individual backup, I get the message, "The operation can't be completed because backup items can't be modified." Of course, I can't delete it from my new computer because it's not there! Any help appreciated.

    The best method is to archive the contents of the TC to a disk.. archive is available via the airport utility.
    Simply plug in a USB drive large enough to store all the material presently on the TC, 1TB or 2TB or 3TB.. whichever model it is.
    Archive I have drawn red box around.
    Once the archive has completed ..
    Use the Erase disk.. just the Quick erase is ok.. takes a couple of min and then you have a nice empty drive to start loading TM backups on.

  • I lost a video in iphoto.  When I restore from Time Machine I get a thumbnail that says the file fork doesn't exist.  How do I get it back?

    I shot a video on my iPhone.  This got downloaded into my iPhoto during a sync.  It has been there for months and worked fine.  Recently the video was accidently deleted and the trash has been emptied.  I just popped open Time Machine and went back and restored my iPhoto from a back up.  It appeared to restore the video as the thumbnail reappeared where it had been before.  BUT, when I click on it, I get a message that says "the file fork does not exist".  I was also restoring a couple of pictures as well and those restored fine.  How do I get this video out of time machine with a working file fork?

    How did you restore your library from Time Machine?  Did you go into your Pictures folder and then enter TM, go back in time to find the library you want and use the Restore button?
