HT1267 My 3GS Has been approved for unlock but connecting to itunes gives me a "no sims card" message. I have an old AT&T and a valid Tmobile sims card. What can I do?
I have a 3 GS iphone and longer have service with AT&T, who approved me for unlock. I followed instructions to connect to itunes and restore. Now my iphone displays "could not activate". "no sims card" with both my old AT&T sims and my valid (my phone was unlocked) Tmobile sims card. I have the IMEI number but not the serial number so can not get assistance from Apple support. Can someone help me figure out how to get apple to unlock this phone??? Thanks don
You cannot set it up without a SIM. You need to get one. Doesn't have to be active - you can get a used one on eBay for a buck or two.

My facetime is not verifying my email though it shows an email has been sent for verification but no email is received. How can I have my facetime back.. Pls help.
I have it set up on both of mine and I know she has the app what I would have to check is if it is enable in hers, although prior to the cancellation of service she used to be able to make the calls, my concern is why I can't which is possible that it needs to be enable. Thank you!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

I have a Powerbook G4, from a friend but he has lost the disc,s in a house move, I have all Apps except Iphoto, and cannot transfer my photo's, what can I do. Running 10.5.8 Prachal
By all means get iLife but just for the record you don't HAVE to use Apple's photo application;
there are many more around, quite a lot of them free.
This http://download.cnet.com/mac/digital-photo-software/?tag=rb_content;main
is a good site to look through for candidates - some will be free some shareware and some paid for.
Alternatively Kodak provides free photo software - navigate through this site to what's right for you:

When trying to update an app, it partially downloads and then displays the message "unable to download item" Please try again later. This happens on any app I try. I have tried deleting the app and reinstalling with same results. What can I do?
I have the same thing happening on my iPod Touch 5th gen. Been happening for at least a month. I have updated to the most recent version of iOS which hasn't solved the issue. Must be a bug that they didn't get around to resolving yet, a year later. Really annoying to have it pop up when you are in the middle of a game though.

Is there a way to check to see if an IMEI has been submitted for unlock?
I wanted to ask is there is any way to check IMEI numbers to see whether or not they have been submitted to Apple for an unlock??
I have two phones I need to check, and iPhone 4 which is my daughters and was a birthday present, and an iPhone 5 which is mine. Both are NOT blacklisted, barred, reported lost or stolen, both are legitimate phones.
The iPhone 4 was paid for in full 3 weeks ago, and is locked to VODAFONE UK. The company told me 1-3 days, three weeks later, nothing, and all I get from them now is "we will email you when its been done"
The iPhone 5 is locked to Orange/EE UK, this again was done three weeks ago, but directly through ORANGE, who tell me the unlock request has been submitted, and it is imminent but then they have me a "HOW TO" of how to unlock it, and told me this has to be done this way or it wont work??
Here is what they told me I had to do they sent this via email
Please find the process for unlocking your Apple handset:-
Before attempting the procedure, please take a moment to read the following information. Please make sure that your iphone is up to date the latest software version. This can be checked by connecting your device to iTunes via a PC/Mac/Laptop.
Please be aware that if you have used an unauthorised unlock on your Apple device then Orange cannot be held responsible for any errors that may occur, as this procedure will not only be unsuccessful, it may damage the device. If you have modified the software please update with the latest Apple approved version.
Apple devices differ from all other manufacturers in that there is no code required to enter into your device to unlock it. However Orange have requested on your behalf to Apple that your device be prepared for unlock and the procedure below advises how you can complete this process. Only handset’s that have been requested to be unlocked viaOrange or other networks can be unlocked this way and the below instruction will not work another Apple devices.
Apple Unlock Procedure
1)Insert a non-T-mobile 3G SIM card. This must be a network provider who also supplies the iphone/ipad.
2)Switch ON the handset.
3)Connect to iTunes using USB cable
4)Use the “restore” option within iTunes (located at the bottom of iTunes not the top)
5)The handset may then display: USB cable and iTunes icon.
6)Disconnect from USB then re-connect
7)Synchronise device with iTunes
8)Once synchronised a message will appear on iTunes stating “Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked” If using IOS5 this message will not show
9)Follow on screen set up instructions to enable new carrier settings
Your handset should now be successfully unlocked
Should this not show, please keep other network 3G sim in the iphone and restore the iphone via iTunes making sure all data is backed up first.

If anyone has any idea, please let me know, its driving me mad lol, two iphones, both not workingUnfortunately, many carriers "drag their feet" when it comes to processing iPhone unlock requests. All Apple does is add the phone's IMEI number to the officially unlocked database, and Apple does this immediately. The breakdown is with your carrier.
You can call AppleCare, they'll be able to tell you whether the IMEI number is in the database or not. -
Macbook Pro has been charging for hours but still on 3% battery?
Hi, I put my macbook pro (early 2011) for charge yesterday for about 3 hours the macbook was charging but the battery stayed on 3%, after the three hours of charging i took the charger out and the battery remained on 3%, this was very unusual and never happened before, i then left it on charge the whole night thinking this time it would definately be charged fully however when i woke up and went on the macbook the battery was still on 3%, can someone explain why this is happening, it was working fine couple days ago and now it suddenly doesnt.
Many thanks,There has been some reports that users who installed Mavs have had issues with Battery Charging ,however my 2009 MBP that had a defunqt Track pad the battery menu stated service battery also white MB same thing and iPad II ,when I called Apple Ringo Japani !! they said that many callers were having this issue but because of the very cold weather!
But strangly when I took out the fix Battery I found dust and dirt detween the track pad ,I cleaned up the track pad worked ,great ! then I warmed up the battery and it charged to 100% and now the track pad stopped working .even thought I do not like the track pad I use a poqi mouse.
So I am not having Mavs on this MBP free is not free you pay in another way they have their way ! -

unable get my iphone to be reconized hs being factory unlock by itunes
No shop can officially unlock your iPhone. Only the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. Unless this shop is an authorized outlet for the cell carrier, the shop is scamming you.
If they are an authorized outlet for the carrier, contact the cell carrier's customer support, give them the appropriate case/order number for the unlock request, and get them to actually process the unlock. Then follow the carrier's instructions as to how long to wait. They may tell you that there will be an email, or they may just tell you to wait a certain amount of time. Then this will be the procedure:
