HT201328 i'm in Ghana and none of our carriers here offer unlocking. so how do i unlock and use my iphone 4? pls help
i'm in Ghana and none of our carriers here offers unlocking. so how do i unlock the phone? its an iphone 4, ios 6.1.3
The process is contact your network supplier .
Ask IF they offer unlocking.
IF yes request the unlock and pay any fees requested.
Your network supplier then contacts Apple to request the White listing (Unlocking) of your phone on the iTunes servers.
Apple do this -It takes anything from 3 days to several weeks to complete.
On completion Apple confirms this back to your Network supplier (NOT YOU)
Your network supplier contacts you via email or SMS inviting you to connect your iPhone with your computer via the supplied USB cable and launch iTunes and follow on screen prompts through to the "Congratulations your iPhone is now unlocked" screen.
All these steps need to be carried out with the ORIGINAL SIM and by REGISTERED account holder used when setting up the phone.
Once the Congats...... screen has been reached you can swap out the REGISTERED SIM and replace with a compatable SIM on another network.
CAVEATS
Only the original SIM and Account holder can initiate an unlock- If you bought the phone used/second hand you CAN NOT UNLOCK through official routes
Once unlocked use of a Mobile Virtual Network SIM may result in difficulties sending SMS messages.
You may have to go into Setting /Network/Cellular/Cellular Data Network and enter the correct settings manually.
Further caveat Cellular Data Network menu is SIM card dependant if its not supported you CAN NOT change the settings manually then you may need to contact the SIM card company - They can send a setup SMS if they support this process.
Sorry for the lecture.
PRESEE -
ONLY REGISTERED ACCOUNT HOLDER AND SIM CARD CAN BE USED TO UNLOCK THROUGH OFFICAL ROUTES
ANYONE SELLING THEIR IPHONE SHOULD UNLOCK THE DEVICE BEFORE SELLING ON

I have 300 apps organized in folders on my ipod touch 4th gen, and connected my iphone 4, these apps have copied over but none have been placed in folders, any ideas how to replicate folders from ipod to iphone...?
What may work is to restore the iPhone fom the backup of the iPod. However, if the two devices ahve different apps that come with the device, that may mess up some of the folders.

I am trying to setup iCloud account and when I login I see a popup. The Maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone. Pls, help me fix it. What other accounts? Thanks
Then you'll have to use another iOS device or Mac running OS X Lion or higher to create a new account for you to use on your phone. If you don't have one, perhaps a friend would allow you to create and account on their device (note: this will use one of their three maximum accounts). To do this, they would need to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which will delete the account from their device but not from iCloud), then allow you to sign back in with your ID to create the new account. Then tap Delete Account to delete the new account from their device, and finally, sign back in with their iCloud ID to restore their iCloud account to their device. Then you can sign in with your ID on your phone in Settings>iCloud and use the new account.

I am currently living in Europe and using my iPhone on airplane mode when I have wifi. My iMessage is switched to my icloud e-mail address and when I go to my setting to switch it back to my number, it is grayed out and not an option to click. This was working before with my number so I know that it's not from being on airplane mode. How do I get it back to my number?
They need to go into their settings>messages and make sure iMessage is on. Also they should click on the send & receive button to make sure their phone number is selected.

I used to be a softbank Japan Iphone 4 customer and i had cleared all the dues. Now i don't have softbank contract and i am in my country Nepal. How can i unlock and use my Iphone here in Nepalese Network ?
Hi Edward,
You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.

I have recently purchaced an ipad 2 16gb wifi and somebody told me if i wanted to use 3g or connect to the internet whaere i cant get and wifi i can connect my iphone to my ipad and use my iphone 3g is this true?
Yes, that is the Tetheringn or HotSpot option. Some models have this. You will have to set up your phone to do this, and your carrier will likely charge you an extra fee for the tethering service.

I just turned off Find my iPhone after hearing about the hacking in Australia. I got an email from Apple saying: your Apple ID and password will no longer be required for someone to erase, reactivate, and use your iPhone. Does this mean that anyone can have access to my iPhone? I still have to put my passcode in.
What that means is the activation lock does not operate if you did what you said you did. Bottom line, turn it back on. That will then require anyone trying to use the device to have yoru Apple ID and password.

When I try and sync my iphone (backup) with my imac any apps that I have put on the imac OR my iphone will not sync to eachother, so I lose some of my apps. WHen itunes (on the imac) tells me to authorise the changes/apps and I put my details in, it comes up with an itunes error code of -54 and -50. I cannot sync my iphone correctly to back up on the imac and I need to do this as I use my phone for work. I have an iphone 4GS and run Mac OS X 10.6.8.
Can anyone help me please?Thank you Carolyn, I understand that and do use the same P/w for both the iphone and the computer and the apps were origionally for the iphone anyway, they just used to back on the computer and now they wont and the imac even cancels them off my iphone when I sync. And it says "Itunes" has made an error, try again...with the coes -54 and -50. This means I canot ack up my iphone properly.

How can I disable iPhoto and use my iPhone / iPad as in Windows?
I really despise iPhoto and I would like to use my iPhone / iPad just like in Windows where I can drag and drop the photos and videos from my iPhone or iPad as if it's an external hard drive in windows. iPhoto is the only thing I really truly hate about OSX.
Thanks.If I understand what you want, maybe these two programs can help:

How can i activate and use my iphone?
Hello!
I bought 2 months ago an iPhone 4 from UK. I don't live there, i am from Romania. The phone according to the invoice and the offer from the shop, was SIM Free as i requested, and paid full price for it. The employee from the store told me that the phone will lock automatically on the first SIM network that i insert in it. Because i wanted to use the phone home, i didn't insert any SIM in it. After i arrived home and bought a micro SIM, a noticed that during the activation process i received a message: "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported Carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card."
After seeing this, i tought that i am doing something wrong so i went to the Orange Romania shop from my city. They told me, that my iPhone is locked. I told them that i didn't use it in UK, just now when i arrived home so how come it's locked when i paid full price for a SIM Free one. They told me that it's locked for UK, not on a specific network.
My question is, how come is this possible? I emailed the store from where i bought the phone but they told me that they sold me a SIM Free iPhone and they are trying to say that i inserted a SIM card from a UK network before coming home, which is not true.
In my situation, what do i have to do? Can i find out details about my iPhone, such like, if anybody activated and then reseted before was sold to me and because of that the phone is locked now?
I really want to use the iPhone but i can't do it without the SIM card that i want to insert in it. I hope that you can help me!
Thank you!The "Sim Free" iPhones, sold in the UK, will lock to the first UK carrier whose sim is inserted in the phone. They will not acticate or work with any other carrier, other than a UK carrier.
Return it for a refund as it will be useles to you where you live. You won't be able to activate it or get it officially unlocked. You'd first have to activate it in the UK & then regust the UK carrier to authorize the phone's official unlocking.
