Buying a used iPhone from unofficial place.
1.) Your iPhone maybe locked to a certain carrier.
2.) The sim may not be compatible.
3.) Maybe it was jailbroken.
Find out from the seller the 3 points I've mentioned.

  • HT201328 I want to temporarily unlock my iPhone for use in Spain. How do I find a compatible SIM from supported carrier?

    I want to temporarily unlock my iPhone for use in Spain. How do I find a compatible SIM from supported carrier?

    No such status
    AT&T will either unlock your iPhone or not
    there is ......
    A carrier locked iPhone
    A non carrier locked iPhone (known as unlocked) ,nothing in between
    Until AT&T agree to unlock your iPhone you can ONLY use your existing sim

  • I'm trying to load video file into CS6 I keep getting error message: 'Could not complete you request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.' No Idea what to do next. Help please.

    I'm using CS6 Extended. My OS is "Windows 7 home premium.
    Can no longer load video files into CS6 for edited I keep getting error message:
    'Could not complete your request because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available.'
    Don't know what this means. Until just now I was able to load videos without any problems. Now I'm getting this message. Any thoughts?

    Hi Mylenium,
    upfront:
    I hope I won't be marked as spam now, since I am posting on a few relevant discussions now to this topic.
    However, I really would like to ask the people who have experienced this problem to see if they were able to solve it.
    Now the real deal:
    I posted a question in this discussionDynamicLink Media Server won't let me import video for video frames to layers anymore.
    The linked discussion is a lot younger, which is why I posted there first.
    I also put in information on the steps that I have tried and my computer specifications.
    I am experiencing this problem for a while now and hope you and jones1351may be able to help out.

    It has NEVER been possible to purchase an unlocked iPhone 3G in the US. Your phone was hacked. Updating it has re-locked it to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.
    The phone is now useless to you. There is no legitimate way to fix this. Buy a new phone. Preferably in India.

  • Cant't get iTunes or ap store to open, and also whe I try to open some websites it tells me it can't find the server. Not sure it is my iPad or my router

    Iam can not get into my iTunes ap or my ap store.  I am slso having problems opening some (not all). Websites.  It will say server can not be found.   Not sure if it is my iPad or my wireless router.  Help.  Very frustrating.

    It could be your router or DNS server.
    You can change DNS servers. To do this see, for example, here: http://techinch.com/blog/change-your-dns-settings-on-iphone-ipod-touch-and-ipad

    Well the error message is in Swedish but says: The installation program database is damaged. Please contact the Adobe support (which is a hard thing to do!!). I use Windows 7 Home Premium with service pack 1.

  • On my iphone4 i need to be able to use both TDS and Yahoo e-mail.  TDS works only sporadically.  For instance, today I was able to both send and receive, then an hour later could not send.  got the message that the server was not recognized.

    On my iphone4 I need to be able to receive and send both TDS and Yahoo e-mail accounts (I also need to access from my Macbook Pro and my HP desktop).  I have NO problem with Yahoo, but with TDS, the e-mail seemed to work on my phone.... and then it didn't.)  In adding the TDS account, I chose "other" ( TDS is somehow accessed on the back end through gmail).  For the incoming server I used the Incoming Sever Name of pop.gmail.com and the Outgoing Mail Server as smtp.gmail.com.  I have using SSL "on" and the server port is 995.  Is this setup correct for TDS?

    FYI: POP will by default, delete messages from the server after downloading them (This applies to most pop clients, computer or mobile). POP is old tech and is not recommended if IMAP or Exchange are available. The default when setting up a g-mail type account is IMAP. Full synchronization with the server. You may also be able to set it up as an Exchange account, allowing for push e-mail and sync of calendars and contacts as well. See the Gmail help pages for instructions.

  • Every time I open Firefox and type in a URL, I get the message "Server not found. Firefox can't find the server at..." All I have to do is hit the "Try again" button and it finds it. However, this is getting tiresome. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    This is an ongoing issue.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • How do I bypass the 'SIM Not Valid' error on iPhone 5?

    I've read various forum posts and have still yet to come to a conclusion on this.
    Just to be clear, the phone I have just purchased is an iPhone 5, and I purchased it from my brother who bought it brand new from an apple store and is definitely UNLOCKED.
    For whatever reason, either Apple or EE has made it so I cannot use a Vodafone sim.
    I have already tried to activate the phone as normal with an EE sim, and it worked until I removed the sim and tried my vodafone sim with the newly activated phone to which I was told SIM Not Valid and could not get back onto my phone.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Started to look into doing this earlier, any tips on getting the serial number when its in this state?

  • HT201263 not able to activate my iphone 3gs showing error sim not inserted

    after i have restored my iPhone , its not activating. error is shown on iTunes that sim not inserted . i have already inserted a sim and its activated and properly working.

    Is there a sim in the iPhone?
    Has the computer you are connecting with been used to
    hack or jailbreak an iDevice in the past?

  • Iphone 4s saying sim not valid i just got the phone is have unlock code what do I do

    Just got an iPhone 4s have the unlock code but the screen is just saying sim not valid how do I unlock

    There is no such thing as an "unlock code" for an iPhone. If someone sold you one you have been scammed. iPhones are unlocked by the carrier the phone is locked to updating the master iPhone database maintained by Apple.

  • Youtube error message "The server is not correctly configured", what can i do?

    I have iPod Touch 3rd Generation with last iOS v4.3.5.
    Using the Youtube app i can not read any video!
    Always says "The server is not correctly configured" when i try reading any youtube video.
    I made some test, it's doing it even with Safari on my iPOD.
    My son have the same problem with an older iOS on his 3rd gen iPOD, and my wife have the same problem using her iPAD2.
    Does somebody knows what is going on?
    Thank you for your help.

    With any other device such as my Samsung TV or portable computers, access to Youtube is flawless, everything working perfectly.
    So i assume that any Apple iOS device with recent updates have a problem with Youtube.
    A bug or else from Apple iOS.
    Apple iOS is not compatible with Flash and now it seems it's not compatible with Youtube either.
    Maybe Youtube is using to much flash type programs.
    If you can help, please do so, because we can not show our Youtube videos with Apple iPod Touch or iPAD2 anymore.
    Hey, does Google have Youtube now?  If so, maybe Google is giving a hard time to Apple?
    Anybody from Apple or the community can't help?
    Thanks.

  • Hi, I upgraded my iphone 4 to iso 5 beta 6, but now it shows "No Service" at top left, and unable to complete your activation. Also tels that this device is not registered as part of the iphone developer programme. How could I fix this problem? Please..?

    Hi, I upgraded my iphone 4 (4.3.3) to iso 5 beta 6, but now it shows "No Service" at top left, and unable to complete your activation. Also tells that "this device is not registered as part of the iphone developer programme." How could I fix this problem? Please help me...,

    I had a similar occurrence with my just activated iPhone 4.
    I had been using the phone for three days when an odd occurrence with voice mail caused me to call tech support. After some discussion they decided to push the activation to my phone (even though I had been using it for three days). When I went to power it back up again I repeatedly got the "no service" notification. I got tech support on a land line and we tried hard reboots and so on. No joy. They told me to take it in to the point of sale and either the SIM card or the phone needed (or both) needed replacing.
    I tried one last hard reboot after dinner and the phone came up with service, but I took it in to the point of sale in the morning and they swapped the SIM card out and I went to a Genius Bar appointment to get the phone checked out. It is supposedly OK, but I am still having some problems when syncing it so I will have to visit the Genius Bar again tomorrow about that. At least I have not experienced the "no service" problem in the roughly 24 hours since the SIM card was replaced. (Fingers crossed)
