HT1414 if i unlock my iphone 5 from virgin mobile will this get rid of the "virgin" at the top left corner?
Just about to get a iphone 5 from virgin mobile, the "virgin" in the top left corner is throwing me off, if i unlock it will it go away?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That will go away if you use your iPhone with another carrier's network, but in that case, you will see the name of that carrier at the top left corner. That means that the Virgin text at the top left corner has nothing to do with having the device locked, but it shows because you are using a Virgin SIM card

Where did the iPhoto 10 iCloud Photostream come from and how do I get rid of it?
I just updated my MacBook Air to mavericks. I have an iPad and iphone as well just updated to ios7. My Mac updated iPhoto as well. Now when I opened iPhoto I got my flickr and Facebook integrated folders in the left pane plus an iCloud photostream.
I didn't have that before and it has 287 pictures pulled from many devices but I didn't set that up. I only had/have a private photostream with a particular name and about 10 pics in it. this new one is just called iCloud photostream and it has 287 pics of which some I know I took with my iPad and others with my iphone. I of course sync both devices with my Mac so this pics are in my iPhoto library as well.

How can i unlock my iphone from the us
how can i unlock my iphone from the us?? please help
If you are referring to a lock to a specific cell carrier, so you can use the iPhone with a different carrier, only the cell carrier to whom the phone is locked can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact the carrier.

Officially unlocked 3G iphone from Abu Dhabi duty free shop
In April 08 I had bought officially unlocked 3G iphone from Abu Dhabi duty free shop. They had told me that this is Apple officially unlocked iphone and can be upgraded later. When I upgraded my phone to 3.0 from 2.2, my phone got locked. So be aware of this ..
Hello, I think I'm experiencing the same problem. Officially unlocked 3G, no network anymore after upgrading to 3.0. Restart/Restore didn't help. The SIM card doesn't seem to be the evildoer, it works in other phones. The iphone is not locked, it works with other SIM cards. seems somehow the combination of phone and sim causing problems. Didn't resolve that yet. You?

I changed my provider and hence up-dated my iphone from a 3 to a 4. I am travelling to the UK and want to unlock and take my old phone (iphone 3) to use in the uk with my UK sim card. How do I do this??
you need to contact the provider of your old phone and find out 1) if the provider unlocks phones and 2) what the procedure is to get the phone unlocked.

How can I unlock my iphone from Iusacel (Mexico) I moved to Canada and the Iusacel company told me they cannot do it. Can you tell me how? I want to keep using my iphone.
The normal process is to request the unlock with the carrier. They process it and pass it on to Apple to be applied to the Apple's iPhone database. The carrier would then inform you when Apple has provisioned the unlock, and you would restore your iPhone as a new device in iTunes to apply the unlock (you would get a message at the end of that restore as new in iTunes indicating the unlock was successfully applied). You could then restore your iPhone from backup to get everything back as it was.
However, for some carriers, you seem to beed to complete the iTunes restore from within the country where they provide service. Regardless, have you tried restoring as new in iTunes to see if it processes any provisioned unlock request? Just be sure to backup the iPhone first, before restoring as new. -
good day actually i purchase second hand iphone from Swiss and we i try to open it in Egypt the phone showing it's locked as it was working in Swiss, so no one will help me like Apple it self just i want to know what is the way to fix this issue please?
You need to find out who the carrier was in Switzerland and see if they will unlock the device. The carrier with the lock is the only one that can authorize the unlock. You may need to check with the original owner and see if they can get it unlocked by the carrier if you do not qualify.

If i bought an iphone from New York, will it work with a moroccan network?
if i bought an iphone from New York, will it work with a moroccan network?
If it is locked, yes you will have to unlock it to use with a Moroccan
wireless network. Only the wireless provider to which an iPhone
is locked can unlock it.
If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at Settings+>

Hi, May I ask... If I buy iphone from apple store, will I have to pay another taxes if I'm not in US? I'm from Indonesia.... THX
If you do not have a US billing and shipping address, you can NOT purchase an iPhone from the US Apple web site, if that's what you're asking.
If you are physically in the US, you need to know that #1. Unlocked iPhone 4S will not be available for purchase until some time in November. #2. The warranty is NOT international. If it breaks, you will not be able to get it serviced anywhere but in the US.
As for taxes, you will have to pay sales tax in the US. As far as any duties on the phone are concerned when you take it home, you'll have to inquire of your government for the answer to that. -
