I bought iPhone on eBay but its IMEI is still linked with an existing AT&T account. Seller doesn't reply on my messages. As far as I know this eBay seller isn't a contract holder. It's just a second-hand shop. I have retail box but don't have a receipt  
AT&T support can't unlock it until its IMEI is in use on a customer account. What I can to do?

Nothing you can do, if you the seller won't respond to you.  Sell it back on Ebay.  Lesson learned, only buy iphone from an authorized apple dealer.

  • I bought iphone from Canada but now I'm in Thailand and I upgraded to ios6 but I couldn't turn on wifi and back up on icloud so I want to know that how can I claim my iphone with apple care because no apple store in Thailand. Thank you.

    I bought iphone from Canada but now I'm in Thailand and I already upgraded to ios6 but It doesn't work well.I couldn't turn on wifi and back up on icloud so I want to know how can I do with my iphone because no apple store in Thailand.Can I send it to any apple care which is easy and near my country? Thank you.

    You can find a local shop and pay to get it fixed or you will need to send the phone to someone you know in Canada and have them take the phone into Apple for service. Then they will need to ship the phone back to you. The warranty is based in the original country of purchase.
    Decide which is your best option.

    i have bought iphone 5s from usa its carrier is sprint..how can i unlock or what shouid i do to unlock it?

    You will have to contact Sprint in the USA about that - only the carrier it is locked to can authorize an unlock.  BTW, Sprint will not unlock it if you are not a Sprint customer.

    I have used still photos to make a Quick Time movie using FCE.  The DVD made using i-DVD looks somewhat grainy and the motion isn’t smooth when played on my TV.  Other DVD’s I have made play much better and I am wondering if the problem is my Quick Time movie settings.  The Dimensions and size of the problem movie are 1920X1080 and 584 MB respectively, while the movies that play better  have Dimensions of 853X480 and are about 1.3 GB in size.  Is this the source of my problem and how do I change things for the better. 

    Are you exporting to QuickTime Movie, or to QuickTime Conversion?   For iDVD, you need to export to QuickTime Movie.   Exporting to QT Conversion will kill the quality if you are moving the video from FCE to iDVD.
    The file size per se makes no difference.
    What size (pixel dimensions) are the photos that you put into your 1920x1080 sequence?  Also, exactly what are the sequence properties ... is it 1920x1080i60 ... or i50?  In North America it should be i60.
    853X480 is an odd frame size.  Where are you seeing this number?  It would appear to be DV-NTSC, which has a frame size of 720x480.  Your 1920x1080 frame size would not be DV-NTSC, it would be Apple Intermediate Codec.   DV and AIC will look different, for sure.
    Also, your quality setting in iDVD can affect the final video.  You may want to check that also (in iDVD Preferences > Projects).  Set it to Professional Quality if at all possible.

  • HT204409 How do I change or reset my password for my wifi? I have forgotten my initial password when I setup the wifi and now cant use it with my iPod but it still works with my iPad as the password option doesn't come up like the iPod.

    How do I change or reset my password for my wifi? I have forgotten my initial password when I setup the wifi and now cant use it with my iPod but it still works with my iPad as the password option doesn't come up like the iPod.

    If you are saying that the iPod asks for the password for the network and you do not know it, what may work is to turn on iCloud keychain for the iPod and iPad., Thet may sync the password from the iPad to the iPod

    Otherwise you will have to go into the router settings and reset the wifi password in the router

  • How do I change my daughters Iphone to my have her own I cloud account but still link it to my original family account

    My daughter got an iphone and it was orginally set up on my personal icloud id and now I would like her to have her own ID but still link it to my cloud account for calenders and reminders but so that her contacts and things like that are her own.  How do I change this over?  Do I need a new apple/mac ID for her first and then link it to the icloud account or a specific ICloud account specifically.
    Thank you

    She can do this by doing the following:
    Save any photo steam photos she wants to keep on her device by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  (This will not delete the account from iCloud.  Other devices still syncing with the account will not be effected by this.)
    In Settings>iCloud, sign back in with a different Apple ID (if she doesn't have one, click Get Free Apple ID at the bottom) to create a new, separate, iCloud account.
    Turn on iCloud data syncing with the new account, and when prompted, choose Merge to upload her data to the new account.  When she turns Mail to On she will be given a new, separate, iCloud email account.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, sign into the origingal iCloud account, then turn on Calendars and Reminders in this secondary iCloud account on her phone.  This will allow her to continue to sync calendars and reminders with the original shared iCloud account, while syncing her contacts and other data with her own separate iCloud account.

  • HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and the new Apple TV, both setup with my email as the Apple ID.  I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID.  Is a second iTumes Match subscription required for her to use our music from iCl

    I have an iPhone 4S and the latest Apple TV, both setup with my email address as the Apple ID.  I subscribed to iTunes Match so our music could be played from iCloud.  I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID.  When I try to turn on iMatch so she can play our music from iCloud on her new iPad it tells me that she needs a subscription to iTunes Match.  Is it Apple's intent that we would need two iTunes Match subscriptions?  If not, how do I accomplish what I want to get done?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • I recently bought iPhone 4 bumper, but I also think of buying InCase Reflex On-Ear headphones. Will its jack fit through the bumper?

    I bought the iPhone 4 Bumper about two days ago, and I tried it with every jack at home I could find. None of them fits through the hole, at least the curved ones. I think of buying an Incase Reflex On-Ear Headphone, but I doubt if the jack will fit. If there are any users, can anyone give some tips?

    It is not worth the time and money that will be involved repairing it piece by piece, other parts are going to start to fail due to the water incursion. Water and electricity do not mix and it needs to be completely dry prior to trying to apply power to it.
    Do an out-of-warranty replacement instead at your closest Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment before you go) for $149 USD.

  • HT201441 I bought iphone from someone but I can find and contact to him again. So, after upgrading, I can not active my iphone because it require the id and password of old owner. What should I do now? I so confuse. Please help me.

    I am not sure about my iphone's operating system. I just know it is a ios7.
    Plz help me.
    Thanks all.

    It's a bad idea to post the IMEI and ICCID numbers for security reasons and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
    You can or can't contact the previous owner? If you can, please see

  • I have recently bought iphone 5. at the beging all my apps synced with itunes but now  apps are not synced.

    I'm having problem in syncing apps in itunes.

    Would these be the iLife apps that are preinstalled on new Macs?
    There is supposed to be a process of accepting these apps into your Apple ID account.
    1. Be sure that you have enetered your iTunes/Mac App Store (MAS) Apple ID in System Prefs/Users & Groups/Password.
    2. Open the MAS and sign into your account.
    3. Check the Purchased pane, the apps should be listed with Accept buttons.
    4. Accept the apps.
    After accepting the apps you should be able to update them. If they are not listed on the Purchased pane of the MAS then I would return with the Mac to place of purchase and enlist their aid in getting the apps into your MAS account.
