How to know if my iPhone 5 is factory unlocked, How to know if my iPhone 5 is factory unlocked
I just bougth a factory unlocked iPhone 5, I'm going to use it in South America, I bought it here in USA but just for the activation I borrowed a friends SIM card, it was from Verizon, so I activated the iPhone and returned the SIM card, the. In general I see that in carrier says " Verizon 13.0" that means its locked just for Verizon or what happened?? Please help! Cause I know that when its unlocked it just says "carrier 13.0 "
If you want to buy unlocked iPhone 5 in US its model would be A1428. There may not be any choice due to operation of LTE networks
Unlocked iPhone bought from Apple Store would be Model A1429. Check yours at the back of phone.
Also see http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ and the country you want to use it in. Check with your prospective oprator.

If I have an old iPhone 4 that is not factory unlocked how could I unlocked? Don't want any anymore to jailbreak it
I have looked around here. And I've actually in person helped a number of people clear a jailbreak from an iPhone and they work fine. The OPs biggest hurdle is likely to be the process of obtaining an unlock from the cell provider.
The mistake many people make is waiting to Restore until the unlock is approved. They should Restore prior to even getting the unlock approval then do it again after they receive it.
As most people know who have been here awhile we see the ones who have problems, not the ones who have successfully done the process.
If you go by ASC noone would ever buy an iDevice. -
My Wi-fi on/off button in setting has stopped working and I can't even attempt to find anything does anyone know how I can fix it?? I've already reset the phone setting, network and factory settings
can you see the wi-fi address in the about? if it show N/A, your iphone needs to be repaired.
if your ios is 5.1.1 or you can see the wi-fi address,you could try to connect your iphone to the itunes to restore and update. -
I lost my Iphone 3GS. My brother has given me his Iphone 4 now. We both use the same notebook to update and sync our phones. I would like to know how can i reconnect back to my account using the Iphone which was previous used by my brother.
If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

I have made a calendar in iCal on my MacBook Pro, but I cannot seem to find out how I can 'download' that same calendar on my iPhone and iPad. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance.

A relative synced my iphone with his laptop without me knowing. It had a passcode on the phone but the sync still worked. I have since found out he is quite IT knowledgeable and has been known to track other peoples phones that he wants to know information about. How is my data useful to him and can he restore this data on another iPhone and run it parallel to mine? I have had people send me messages which I have not received. These have been screen shot to me later including time and I have just not got them. I had 4 weeks worth of messages go missing from my phone..I know that he synced my phone because his work laptops I'd came up in my settings. Also if the above can be done can he change the settings on my actual phone and access my location without placing tracking software on my phone. Can someone please help here as I can't restore a backup to my phone for obvious reasons and refuse to change my number because of this loser.
Connect the device to the computer.
In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start. -
I have a 4S and just tried updating to the latest iOS version and my phone went into recovery mode and iTunes says I need to restore to factory settings. Anyone know how I can fix my phone without losing all my content?
You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:
Restore from Backup

I'm switching from iPhone 3GS AT&T iOS 4.3 to new iPhone 5 Verizon. Apple online suggests iTunes 11.0.1 on MB OS 10.6.8 to backup contacts, etc. How do I know if backup really worked? I created a new contact on my iPhone and a different one in my calendar on the MB. Connected iPhone to the MB and synched/backedup. However, I can't find my iPhone contact in MB AddressBook and vice versa. Did the backup work? I cannot afford to lose my calendar, contacts, etc when I get my new iPhone 5. thanks!

I have the iPhone 5 and I keep getting a no sim card message. I have had my phone for over a year now so I know I have a sim card. How can I fix this because it doesn't let me get calls now.
Try resetting the phone. Hold the home and power lock button until the Apple logo appears.If that does not work, turn the phone off and take the SIM out and then put it back in.
If that still does not work, you may have a defective SIM, in which case you will need a new one from your carrier. -
used "find my iphone app" and now that I have found my iphone, no one can hear me talk? how do I let Apple know I have found my Iphone so I can use my Iphone?
so frustrated.Well its defintiely nothing that Apple can activate to fix this. They would be able to troubleshoot with you though. This may be able to be resolved if its something software related.

Sir i have a problem with iphone its factory locked how to unlock
sir i have a problem with iphone its factory locked how to unlock
You have asked this question 3 times. Each time the answer being the same. ONLY, the original cellular provider can unlock the phone. However, if the phone has been previously hacked to provide unlocking, the fact that you have updated it has now re locked it. It is possible that it might never be ale to be properly unlocked.

M from india, i purchase iphone 4s around 18 mnths ago. I was having 1 year warranty of 1 year that has been expired 6 months ago. Now how can i extend my iphone warranty. Please let me know about this. Thanks in advance..
If you don't know the sender, then it is most likely a scam or spam email. I get them every day - I just delete them. I also get daily notices from Facebook or someone called Adriana at Facebook even though i do not have an account there. Can't do anything about it - just delete it.

How can i know iphone users from contacts, how can i know iphone users from contacts
how can i know iphone users from contacts, how can i know iphone users from contacts
You could open that contact in messages, and your iPhone should say "iMessage" instead of "Message" in the text field. However, this depends wether the contact has iMessage enabled, but it could also mean the contact is using an iPad or iPod touch.
Make sure that their mobile number is in iMessage, and if the text field says "iMessage", then they are using an iPhone (if they've enabled it).
