Updating iOS has relocked the device to whichever carrier it was originally sold as locked to.
Only that carrier can unlock the device.

    If you are receiving a messages that says the maximum number of free iCloud accounts has already been created I'm afraid you won't be able to create a new account on your phone. 
    Each device can only create a certain number of iCloud accounts.  Once they have been created you cannot create a new one.  You also can't delete one of the accounts to allow you to create a new one.  All you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

  • My screen got bigger and when I move the mouse, the screen moves as well. What can I do about this?

    My screen got bigger and when I move the mouse, the screen moves as well. What can I do about this?

    Actually as Roam said, you can keypress, Option + command + 8
    But i think wat you asking is that you dont want the screen mving when you move the mouse. Right?
    For that you can, goto, System Preference -> Accessibility -> Zoom -> More Options...
    Once you click more option, you'll get a window. Look at the bottom of the window for 3 options with bullet buttons. SELECT "ONLY WHEN THE POINTER REACHES AN EDGE" and click "DONE"
    Viola!!! You're troubl's are over!!!

  • HT1296 I recived a second hand iphone 4S for christmas ...

    I have managed to synchronise all my photos and apps but it will not let me syncronise my music
    in tunes it tells me I have to " authorise this computer" I have done this and it still will not work ? I don't really know what to do I would be very greatfull for some help
    Thankyou Abbie

    Are you trying to reproduce what you have in your iPhoto Library on your Mac in your iPhoto library on your iPhone?  If so you can't. They are two separate and different applications and do not synce as such. 
    The first thing I would do is try to use Image Capture on the Mac to pull all of the Photos off your old iPhone.  The Image Capture program is found in your Applications/Utilities folder.  After you have them on your computer, download the free program Pic Share It.  Install the free version of it on your iPad and then drag and drop the photos from your Mac to your iPad.  Here's a video showing you how it work.
    The best option in your situation is to use a program like mobileme and sync your contact and calendar information over the air. Unless you transfer either contact and calendars to home computer or music, apps, pics, kit to office computer you want be able to sync without replacing one set of data. Its a function of itunes, unfortunately.

  • I have installed McAfee secutiry on my MAC OS X. It is now painfully slow. What can I do?

    HELP! My Mac is now painfully slow. Downloading any internet site takes forever. Is it because of the McAfee program I have installed? If so, what can I do? It's driving me insane but I need to have security on my Mac.

    Is it because of the McAfee program I have installed?
    Very likely. You don't need it and I would delete it and instead use ClamXav.
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

  • Hi, i have a second hand iphone 4s and i made a AppleID and everything was ok, but when I turn on the icloud, i write the appleID and the password but then appears a error message saying: "This iPhone has been activated the maximum number of accounts"

    Help me how can i put/activate my icloud account

    If you are getting that message you will not be able to create a new iCloud account on your phone because the maximum number of accounts has alread been created.  Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account using a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.

  • I have always synced my Iphone 4 to a previous laptop but now want to use a new (already iTunes authorised) computer. I don't mind losing music but want to know if I will lose data such as photos or texts? Thanks,

    Hi,
    I have an iphone 4, using IOS 5.0.1 and have always synced it to my laptop (windows vista, 32 bit). I have recently bought a new desktop computer (Windows 7, 64 bit) and after putting it off for a while, i've decided to bite the bullet and sync my iphone with my new computer. I have already authorised my itunes account on my new computer, and i don't mind loosing music. I am more concered though about the risk of loosing my text messages and photos on my phone.
    Could anyone please tell me if i will loose the messages and photos from my phone when syncing to a new computer.
    Thanks alot,
    Chris.

    When you connect the iPhone to sync with the new computer,  a number of things will happen. If the new computer/iTunes does not contain any music, then yes, you will receive a prompt saying this iPhone is synced to another library, and if you continue, you will lose your music. However, you risk losing a number of other things, such as apps, contacts and calendar data. When you ask about photos, any photos that you have on the iPhone that were synced from the previous computer would also be lost. You need to save the photo folder from the old laptop and transfer that to the new desktop. You also need to sync the contacts and calendar to the same supported application that you were using in the past, such as Outlook, unless you are using an outside web-based sync, such as Google. Also, when you first connect the iPhone, it will make a backup, or at least make sure that it does before you attempt to sync, or you will not have a backup of some of the other things, such as mail settings, SMS, and the contents of the Camera Roll. I would import the photos from the camera roll to the new computer before trying to do anything else in iTunes.

    It sounds like you are not able to see any iOS devices in iTunes on your PC. I recommend the following article to help you troubleshoot that named:

  • HT201441 i have bought a second hand iphone 4s which is stilllinked to previous owners itunes ID.I cant get his details off him as he has his money and is blanking me. I can't get anything on the phone after setting up the language.HELP!!

    I cannot activatea second hand iphone 4s as i don't have previous owners itunes ID. I can't get anything on the phone after setting the language as its asking for activation. Please can anyone help ???? Ideally i would like to get it back to factory settings and start afresh but right now i would settle for anything. Should say i only have the phone and charger, no box so no details

    Unfortunately, the only one who can help is the previous owner.  Otherwise you will not be able to activate and use the phone.  Apple can't/won't help you with this either.

    Depends
    If you need a cellphone then No.
    If he wants more than $1 then No.
    I would suggest that you buy an iPod Touch from Apple.

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
