Hi, i'm Sameer frm Mauritius. I've bought an iphone 3gs frm ebay and it is lock. I dont have the original sim and i dnt know on which carrier it is lock. So now i want it to be unlock by apple so what i have to do? Plz some1 help me. THNX
You will have to call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number so they can advise who it is locked with. Then you will have to contact that cell provider and find out what their unlock process is, if there is a fee, and if you qualify. If it is locked to a company that does not have an unlock policy then you will not be able to unlock it.

i have bought an iphone 3gs on ebay it worked with my sim but had last users pics numbers ect, so i restored it butb its failed and now all i get is connect to i tunes but will not restore ????
Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

When I bought my Iphone 5, (Not 5S or 5C) from apple store, I was told by apple customer service that it is 4G compatible. I have always been with Vodaphone and I tried to upgrade my sim only contract to 4G. I have been told last week by Vodaphone that original Iphone 5 is not 4G compatible. Does anybody please tell me if it is or it isn't 4G compatible?

I am in UK and I have been told by apple this morning that iPhone 5 is only compatible on EE network. Unfortunately they cannot do anything of the wrong information given by apple advisor at the time of sale. Disappointed.
Why are you disappointed? Apple was 100% correct, the iPhone 5 is a "4G" LTE device. Whether it is compatibable with your carriers 4G/LTE network is something that you, as the user, must confirm prior to purchase. If EE is the only supported LTE carrier in the UK, that is unfortunate but something that could have easily been found out at/before purchase.
When asking about 4G compatibility, did you simply ask if it was a 4G/LTE device or did you specifically ask it if would work with your carrier on their 4G/LTE network? -
I just bought a iphone 3g unlocked gsm. I try to download apps it says i need 4.3 i have 4.2.1 however i goto i tunes to update it says 4.2 is latest version but mu buddy bought a unlocked iphone 3g to and he has 5.1 so i googled it and there telling me i need to use whited00r to upgrade the older iphones. I tried its not working can anyone pls help me i judt wanns be able to use my uphone to tje fullest of its abilitys!!!
iOS 4.2.1 is the final version of iOS that an iPhone 3G will run, so you will not be able to use any apps that require iOS 4.3 or later. There is no way to get any later version of iOS onto your iPhone without serious hacking, something we cannot discuss here.
You do not get the option to update iOS directly from an iPhone until you have iOS 5 or later.

I just bought Lightroom 5 off of Amazon and after downloading it and everything it says I need to buy a serial number? Is this true?
I don’t think there are many “must have” features in PSE13 especially if you are doing most of your editing non-destructively in Lightroom and only going to the external editor occasionally.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

I just bought a iphone 3gs from my friend. when he gave it to me it was in recovery mode. Now everytime i try to Restore it i get the error 1603. is there any way to fix this ? please help !
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Are you sure your friend didn't jailbreak it?
If so, save yourself a lot of time and trouble - throw it in the trash. -
i bought my iphone 4 through ebay and its unlocked. the problem is that my phone does not sync straight away. I sync my music file through autofill. I want to sync ringtones but its not working.
I saw cidya aap so i m not sure if it was jailbroken or not before but it is back to normal settings.
My problem started when I tried to sync my music files. I pressed 'sync' all it says is waiting for sync start, preparing to sync and then waiting for the changes to be applied. but it does not sync at all.
I found a way to sync my music files through autofill but I really wanted to sync ringtones but its not syncing and I really wanted to put ringtones in my phone please help.If you see the cidya app, your iPhone is hacked with the cutsie term for this being jailbroken. This also means all the built in security has been removed making the iPhone as insecure as an android device.
Restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup to get rid of that hacking garbage. If the iPhone has hacked to be unlocked, the iPhone will no longer be unlocked when doing so. -

You don't add media (other than music) to your device by dragging. It's by synching.

I bought an IPhone 3gs and tried to reset the APN through Strait Talk Wireless but when I click on settings then "General" tab they tell me to click on the "Network" tab but there is not a "Network" tab? After Network, I was supposed to go to Cellular Data Settings but I can't find the Network tab under the General tab. I watched videos and every IPhone I saw had the Network tab but mine don't, can anyone please help this old man fix this new technology, so I can use the Internes and MSM?Thanks, jerry b <><
Hey electrikn,
Thanks for the question. If your iPhone 3GS has been updated to iOS 6, this setting had moved:
Set network options: Go to Settings > General > Cellular

HT204161 I bought an iphone 4s off ebay and cant unlock it
I bought an iphone 4s off ebay, and i cant unlock it because the previous owner got it second hand and that owner doesnt know the password. i have no way to contact that owner. I dont know how i am supposed to use the device because i cant get pass that. i didnt even know that it had this problem until i recieved it. What am i supposed to do?
Get a refund immediately.
You have probably been sold a previously stolen iPhone. It is Activation Locked as described here:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
Without the original owner's Apple ID and password being used to unlock it, the iPhone will remain forever useless to you.
