    Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
    If you do not meet their requirements or they do not offer unlocking there is no official way to unlock the device.
    Who is your carrier?

  • I have not accessed my iBooks for a month. When I opened the application a while ago I found that all my books except for 2books have disappeared. What happened and how can I retrieve my books?

    One possible reason is have you synced to your computer's iTunes recently ? If so then it might have replaced the books that were on your iPad with those that are on your computer's iTunes library.
    You should be able to re-download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app, or via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes and then sync them back to the iPad : re-downloading. If you re-download them directly on your iPad then you may want to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, so that you have a backup copy of them and to see if it stops them disappearing from the iPad again when you sync (assuming that was the reason why they disappeard).

  • HT5622 If I have two emails for my iMessage how can I see or receive my msj or the email that is not the primary email

    If I have two emails for my iMessage how can I see or receive my msj or the email that is not the primary email

    It's basically ment for iMessage and FaceTime. I might be wrong but this can only be done between two Apple products that allow this function. You won't receive an email if I sent you an iMessage to a secondary email you use for iMessages. You would only receive a text message. Now if someone using a PC sent an email to the secondary email you use you will receive an email not a text message. The secondary email is used basically if you do not have a data plan and you're connected to wifi you can still send iMessages using those emails you provided.

    If it was setup using your iPhone and your Apple ID then as far as the iCloud team will be able to find out, you set it up.  Passwords cannot be retrieved.
    Change all passwords on accounts associated with your iPhone. 

  • HT1918 i have forgotten answers to security questions how can i sort this

    I have forgotten my security question answers how can i sort this

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • I have an iPad 2, and in my settings I don't have the tab for software updates, how can I get it?

    Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you bought all of the books with the old ID then AFAIK you will have to continue to use that ID in order to continue to sync those books to the iPad.
    You have to update the app with the old ID so I don't see how you could keep the books with the new ID. Maybe I am wrong about this, but someone else will chime in I'm sure and correct me if I am wrong.

  • I have double IDs for Itunes.  How can I delete one without losing my music.  Also, I want to synce my new desktop computer with my older i4s.  All devices are registered to do so.  However, last time I tried I almost lost all music and Itunes BARELY supp

    I have double ID's for Itunes.  How can I keep all my music and get rid of the ID that I do not want.  It was an issue when I tried to transfer music ..  I contacted Itunes and they BARELY helped me get the music back.  They also would only allow me to chose one ID to replenish the music (wich was lost) to my new device.  So, I chose the ID that showed more music.  I am irritated that I still have 2 ID's and can't really figure out why they both have the same music.   Oldest to newest purchases are shown on both id's.  Also, I am afraid to sync now because they told me it was a one time deal.  When docked my phone to my new computer all of the music is shown on my computer now.  However not on my I phone. 

    I had the same problem. I solved by (I use Windows7, should be same for OSX):
    1. copying the library from the older computer to the new computer, at the usual itunes media location.
    2. on new computer's itunes preference (advance), uncheck the box "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library"
    3. open up this folder of media copied over from old computer, just drag over to itunes library, cursor will turn into plus sign.
    4. since you unchecked the box for "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library", you are in effect only growring the new computer's itunes library's database. Your media files are already under the folder on the new computer.
    Now when you connect iphone to this new computer and tells you it wants to erase your iphone's library in order to sync with this one, go ahead, click yes. Why is this ok now? Because you've copied all your files over to the new computer. So when you sync again, your existing files are there on the new computer.
    You should export play lists on the older computer to be imported on the new computer though.

    Realize that purchased ringtones can only be downloaded once.  You will have to either get them off your computer or your old phone (or buy them again).

    I have forgotten/never had a passcode for my ipad.  How can I find/set one up?

    Hi doph4140,
    If you are able to access/unlock your iPad currently (does not have a passcode) and you are looking to set one up, you may find the following article helpful:

  • HT1222 IPad mini wifi+cellular does not allows to enable restrictions in fact there is no such alternative under Settings- General.. I need the passcode for several purpose, how can to avail it?.. Please somebody ASAP

    Hello,
    A day before got new IPAD mini (Wifi-Cellular). When trying to look forpasscode enable option, it ended with nothing to avail. Would like to know if there is any such priviledge or not. Secondly, when the iPad is left idle for awhile ,say, 5 minutes,, a poor screensaver pops up and continues to play IPad advertisement, which we usually find in DEMO products @stores. Doubtful, if seller has handed over bad/demo stuff to me. Please suggest. It took whole of last night to figure out on Google, but no success.
    Thanks

    Morning driving,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
    iOS: Understanding passcodes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4113
    If you are unable to modify certain passcode settings, there may be a configuration profile that requires these passcode options.
    You can find out if a profile is installed by tapping Settings > General and looking for the Profile setting between Accessibility and Reset.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • HT204053 hi i have an ipod which shares same apple id etc as my iphone i was deleting the contacts off my ipod and now they are gone off my phone how can i get them back on my phone? help pls

    hiu i have an ipod which shares same itunes/icloud account as my iphone. i deleted the contacts off ipod and they have now gone off my phone too. anyone help, how can iget these back on my phone?

    When you share an iCloud account between devices, any action you take on one device (such as deleting contacts) is synced to the others.  (That's want iCloud does; syncs data across devices, keeping the data on the devices the same.)
    The only way to recover them now is to try restoring your device to your last backup, or restore them from another backup source.
