    i forgot my passcode of my iphone 4s! how I unlock the phone?

    You will need to restore the phone on the computer that you normally sync the phone to. That is the only method. You can restore from a backup so that will no affect your data.

  • A friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue. How to register the phone with Apple?

    A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
    I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?

    When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center.  You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address.  800-694-7466

  • How to secure the phone contacts of Asha and other...

    Phone contacts are very important assets. It is always advisable to take regular backup of important data for safety.
    Here are the different methods to secure your contacts and solutions to solve common contacts problems.
    1. Using your phone's sync-and-backup option
    To backup the phone contacts using your phone,
    go to settings, sync-and-backup, create backup. Mark the contacts and neccessary items you need for backup.
    Note: Creating backup doesn't work without memory card.
    2. Using Nokia suite
    Install the latest version of Nokia suite from here.
    Connect your phone to PC using data cable(set Nokia suite mode on phone) or via bluetooth.
    Launch the Nokia Suite, open contacts and follow these:
    2A. Using drag and drop
    You can simply drag and drop the contacts to a folder of your computer as shown:
    You can also drag and drop contacts from the PC folder back to Nokia suite.
    2B. Using Backup/Restore option of Nokia Suite
    To backup or restore using Nokia suite, go to tools-backup/restore.
    2C. Using the sync option
    You can sync your phone contacts to Nokia suite by default, as well as with Microsoft Outlook.
    To sync your contacts to Outlook, open Nokia suite, go to sync-sync options and select Microsoft Outlook in contacts as shown:
    After syncing, the contacts of your phone will be copied to both Nokia suite and Microsoft Outlook:
    Note: Creating or deleting any contacts in any one of the locations like either phone or Nokia suite or Outlook,  updates the same changes in the remaining two places.
    It is highly recommended to use drag and drop method to backup contacts instead of sync for simplicity.
    3. Common problems with contacts and solutions
    3A. Avoiding repeated contacts.
    You might have copied all the phone conatcts to SIM card as a backup, but the contacts will be shown twice.
    When you have similar contacts in both the SIM card as well as phone, you can change the settings such that either of the SIM contacts or phone contacts are only visible, for this, go to contacts-settings-memory in use and change it to either phone or SIM card.
    3B. Deleting the either only SIM or phone contacts.
    You can always delete either SIM or phone contacts. Go to contacts-delete all contacts and select either SIM card or phone.
    3C. Deleting repeated contacts using PC.
    Sometimes the contacts will be repeated in the phone memory itself. To fix this, drag and drop your contacts to a folder and delete all the contacts having parenthesis () as shown:
    Now you can delete all the contacts of the phone and copy(drag and drop) the non repeated contacts from the PC back to phone.
    4. Recovering the contacts from a corrupted backup file of the phone using PC
    There are situations when restoring data fails due to corrupted backup file.
    To solve this,
    A. Connect the memory card to PC using a card reader.
    B. Enable the hidden folders and extension in view or in the folder options, go to memory card/backup folder and copy the .NBF file to your PC.
    C. Change the extension of the backup file from .NBF to .ZIP.
    D. After renaming, the backup file can be extracted using any compression applications like WinRar or default ZIP manager.
    E. The contacts of the backup file can be found at
    \Backup000\predefhiddenfolder\backup\WIP\32\contacts.
    These contact files can now be copied back to your phone using Nokia suite(using drag and drop method).

  • I am planning to take unlocked  iphone5 which is from USA, let me to know how to check the phone is valid ?

    i am planning to take unlocked  iphone5 which is from USA, let me to know how to check the phone is valid ?.How can i check is that properly unlocked, stolen and service.

    IF you can actually yet purchase an unlocked iPhone4 8GB from the US Retail stores is not clear
    They are certainly available from Apple.com but only if you have a US credit card and a US delivery address
    I suspect you do not fit this requirement
    You also have to be careful as the Apple Retail stores sell no contract iPhones these are NOT unlocked
    However if you are able to purchase an unlocked iPhone4 8GB then it will certainly work with the Approved carriers in India

  • How to make the phone's battery last longer ?

    Hi everyone,
    i am wondering if there is any difference when the battery is fully desharged thus the phone swithes off , and then you plug it into the power outlet to be charged.
    or if it is not fully decharged, and it has some one or two battery bars on the upper right corner of the display, and you set it to be charged, is there any signifficant difference between these two states ?
    is there any official or technical advice on "How to make the phone's battery last longer " ??
    thanks in advance.

    It depends on the battery.
    Charging the battery when there is some power in it is especially bad for NiMH batteries. The loss of power is called "memory effect" - battery "remembers" that it does not get fully utilized and over time starts supplying less power.
    But new Nokias come with Li-Ion or Li-Polymer and the effect on these being charged when there is still power in them is negligible. Especially for the Li-Polymer ones.
    See here about batteries and "memory effect":

  • HT4061 my brother have sent me a iphone5 in Bangladesh, now how to unlock the phone, because cellular not connect

    my brother have sent me a iphone5 in Bangladesh, now how to unlock the phone, because cellular not connect

    Send it back to your brother & have him get it officially unlocked, because there is no way for you to do that.
    Only the carrier an iPhone is locked to can authorize the phone's official unlocking, & most(if not all) will not authorize such unless your are a customer that used the phone on their network...obviously not you.
    So, send it back to your brother & have him get it unlocked or return it for a refund.

  • How to sync  the phone "(

    Hi I purchased a new iphone5 yesterday. I need to sync my iphone 4 the sync the nwe phone. I am having trouble finding out how to sync the phone. "(

    Make sure Address Book has at least one entry, the entry can be fake, that doesn't matter. When you do sync, and select contacts, this will generate a merge or replace prompt. Select merge. You never want to sync to an empty contact or calendar application on your computer.

    See Here for
    Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
    Try this first... You will not lose any Data...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

    If that does not work... try letting the battery fully drain.
    Then Charge for an Hour and try the suggestions again.

    I bought an apple iphone4 from a friend and they had lost and dont remember the apple id nor password can some tell me how to reset the phone and or both

    It is not possible. You have hit Activation Lock, an anti theft measure. The last owner is the only one who can unlock it with their Apple ID. Tell them to go here
