How to open unlock for my iphone

Are you talking about the slider to unlock your phone or you have forgotten your password to unlock it?
Or are you referring to unlocking your iPhone from a carrier?

  • HT201328 How do I unlock a disabled iphone?

    How do I unlock a disabled iphone?

    The article I linked specifically says "iPhone is disabled".  And there is a reference to 'lock' on that page, at the bottom:
    Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
    There's even a picture.
    Also, that article links to another article about Using Passcodes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4113
    Which refers to a 'lock' and' 'unlock' multiple times.
    Or, hey, that article has a link to Find My iPhone overview... which ALSO refers to 'locking' an iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2696
    Use Lost Mode to lock and track your device
    Oh, and THAT article also links to Activation Lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695   which also has a lot of references to 'lock'.  Heh, it's even in the TITLE.
    Are you going to keep trying to say that "The ONLY time you 'unlock' a phone is with a carrier."?
    You are wrong.  That is not the only time you 'unlock' an iPhone.
    The OP asked: "How do I unlock a disabled iphone?"
    A phone locked to a carrier is not disabled.  It can be used with that carrier.
    Unlocking a disabled iPhone refers to when the passcode has been entered too many times.
    There is a passcode lock function for iPhones.
    To unlock an iPhone that is passcode locked, you need to enter the passcode.
    Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and it becomes disabled.
    The only thing about the OP's post that even suggests this is an issue about carrier unlocking is the article he linked from, which is most likely explained because he seached for 'unlock iphone'.  First Google result is the article he linked from.
    But a carrier locked phone is not DISABLED.  You are ignoring that part of the OP's post, and focusing on the word 'unlock', which has multiple meanings.
    The most likely issue is a passcode lock on the phone, which was entered incorrectly too many times, and thus, the iPhone is disabled.
    Just  like the OP said: "How do I unlock a disabled iphone?"
    Being 'locked' to a carrier has NOTHING to do with an iPhone being disabled.  Restricted to use on that particular carrier?  Yes.  Disabled?  No.

    Its a serious problem and many people are facing the same issue on both locked and factory unlocked phones.
    I wonder when Apple will address to this issue. After all it is losing all its reputation!
    See this thread, many users are encountering the same issue:

    I believe its a software issue and could be solved asap Apple fixes it!

  • How to get official unlock for old iphone 3gs?

    Hi, I switched to Verizon iPhone 4, so my old AT&T iPhone 3gs is no longer in use.
    I travel internationally and would like to unlock my old iPhone 3gs so I can use it with sim cards when I travel.
    I understand there is now an "official" unlocking that can happen through iTunes. Is that true? How can I do it?
    Or is there another way to unlock my old phone that is legal?
    Thanks!

    Yes, it is, however, verizon will unlock your SIM card slot for free. The requirements:
    * Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.
    * The iPhone 4S being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.
    * The line of service must be active at least 60 days.
    * The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.
    * Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.
    You can go here for all the details.
    I can confirm this as I did it last November for my sister before she traveled to London.

  • How do I unlock my original iPhone to be used as a backup to my iPhone 3G?

    Hey Everyone,
    Some background:
    Back in July '08, my original iPhone died. This occurred 2-3 weeks after the 1 year warranty expired and the Genius at my local Apple Store was kind enough to still replace it with a refurbished one. However, before I met with the Genius, I bought an iPhone 3G (which is what I'm using now).
    My question:
    The refurbished iPhone came with firmware 1.1.4 and is useless because it keeps showing the 'connect to iTunes' image. How do I unlock it so I can use it as a back-up to my iPhone 3G?
    Right now, it's just a paper weight. When I first got it, I was hoping I could connect it to iTunes to unlock it but I stopped it half way through the process because it started to cancel my iPhone 3G data plan (to replace it with the EDGE data plan). In fact, I had to go to an AT&T store to restore the data plan on my 3G.
    FYI, I have no desire to jailbreak it or unlock for use with other mobile carriers. I just want to unlock the phone so that I can use it with my current AT&T plan. I also did a quick Google search an all the articles I found were for jailbreaking the iPhone.
    Thanks!

    Ok, weird. After starting this thread, I plugged my original iPhone into my MBP and iTunes displayed a message saying the firmware was too old to synchronize. It suggested that I upgrade the firmware. Instead of continuing, I chose to eject the iPhone and now it's activated - i.e., I can use the iPhone and access the apps (except for the ones that require a data connection). So, I guess I'm all set.
    Hopefully, iTunes didn't screw up the data plan on my 3G (I don't think it did since it didn't show any message of communicating with AT&T's servers).

  • HT201303 how to use itune for my iphone?

    how to use itune ?

    Hi Rashid,
    To use itunes for Ur iPhone click http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/#video-sync
    Setting up syncing
    Tutorial:
    Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side:
    Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example, if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
    Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
    Wi-Fi syncing
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.
    What you can sync
    Applications
    Audio content—music, podcasts, audiobooks, and iTunes U content
    Bookmarks
    Books
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Movies and TV shows
    Photos
    Notes
    Documents (File Sharing apps only)
    Ringtones
    Additional Information
    The first time you sync the Info tab with your iOS device, you are asked if you want to merge data, replace data on the service, or replace the data on your computer from the following applications:
    Mac: Address Book, iCal, Microsoft Entourage, or Microsoft Outlook 2011
    PC: Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Addressbook (XP) and Windows Contacts (Vista and Windows 7)
    For more information about syncing your device with your computer, see the user's guide or see this article.

  • HT4528 How can you unlock a verizon iPhone 5?

    Hello, I brought an iphone5 several weeks ago from a friend and I've heard that the iPhone 5 from verizon is already unlocked. I would like  to connect it with T-mobile. Im thinking of updating the iphone to the new IOS 7 but will that interfere with it being unlocked? How do I know for sure it is unlock ? Also can I do the unlocking by myself through itunes or would I have to find some kind of software to unlock it? Oh, also is it true that when you switch to T-mobile you are not able to send or receive pictures messaging? Sorry for asking a lot of questions.

    What you need to understand first is that the Verizon iPhone is a CDMA phone and does not require a sim card to work on the Verizon network.  Yes the phone is unlocked, but only the GSM part of the phone is unlocked so that you can insert local sim cards when you travel.
    Unfortunately, if you want to use this phone in the US, you WILL NOT be able to use it on T-Mobile, as being a Verizon phone it will only connect with the Verizon CDMA network.  If you want to use the phone in the US, then you'll have to use it on the Verizon network.
    If you want to use T-Mobile, then perhaps think about selling this phone and buying a new phone that is unlocked and a GSM phone so that you can use it with T-Mobile without problems.

  • How do I unlock my Apple iPhone 4S so I can use other SIM cards abroad?

    Hello!
    I have an iPhone 4s which i have had for years with Vodafone UK.  I know I can get them to unlock my iPhone for me so I can use it abroad.  I tried to do this.  But they said the IMEI number I have for my phone is not the same as the one in their records.
    This is because Apple (in store) swapped it out when I had problems with it within the first year) so I have a different iPhone from the one they sold me.
    So I am lost.  How do I unlock an iPhone from Apple so i can use sim cards abroad?
    Any help is gratefully received!
    Alan

    Thanks Peter!  If only I was in the UK!  I am in Nicaragua and south America for the next four months hence why trying to get my phone unlocked!  It is a nightmare and at the moment I have Vodafone saying they can't do it because they don't recognize the IMEI number and Apple doing the same.
    Any other ideas about what I can do remotely. 
    Thank you for your reply.

  • This 3G iphone is locked. I need to unlock it..how can I unlock my 3G iphone?

    I need to unlock my 3G iphone..how can I do it?

    If you mean that you want to unlock it from your network provider:
    - Ensure that you're out of contract. If you're still in contract then you may have to pay cancellation fees.
    - Contact your network provider who may be able to unlock your phone for you.
    Depending on your carrier, this may cost a small fee of around £10/$15.
