hi i get old iphone 3gs with serial:86012TPT3NP and now after update to 6.1.3 cant activate it because i dont have original sim.i need to know if apple unlock this device after conctract end or not.Iphone is 3 years old.

Apple cannot unlock iPhones themselves. You must contact the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked and ask about their requirements for unlocking and if you qualify arrange the unlocking through the carrier. You will need a valid SIM, either from the original carrier or another carrier, to complete the unlock.
Regards.

  • If you dont have the sim card that came with the iphone and you resync it how do you get it to turn back on .?

    You have been syncing the iPhone with iTunes on your computer without a SIM card inserted in the iPhone for how long?
    If the iPhone says connect to computer, this means there is a problem with your iPhone that requires restoring the iPhone with iTunes. As already provided, not having a SIM card inserted in an iPhone does not prevent or shouldn't prevent syncing the iPhone with iTunes. Depending on the iPhone model, it is required in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes.

    To re-activate an iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS that displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen:
    Insert a SIM card from the carrier with which you used your phone. Note: If you are using the same carrier, you can use the activated SIM card from your new device to do this. If your device is unlocked by your carrier, you can use any SIM card.
    Connect the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
    iTunes will then activate the device. You can remove the SIM card at this point and use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

  • How to de-authorize a computer you dont have anymore.

    I had my itunes account on another computer and it broke before i could de-authorize it and now i cant sync my phone to another computer and downlaod my music. So i cant back-up my phone. Have any ideas on how to back up all of my music and apps on my new laptop?

    These are two questions: the first is how to deauthorize your old computer:
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, authorize each one as required.
    The next question concerns syncing your iPhone to a new computer. The right way to recover from this situation is to copy your iTunes Library from the old one's backup. The iPhone is not a backup device, and how you back up your computer is up to you.
    If you have no backup, you will need to use third party utilities to recover your iPhone's contents. The iPhone is not designed to be used this way so success is not guaranteed.

  • When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen

    When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen. new to ipad so do not know much. Anybody know.p

    As long as the app remains in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store 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 : re-downloading.
    Similarly ibooks can be re-downloaded, and depending upon what country that you are in then music, films and tv shows may also be re-downloadable (if they remain available in the store).

  • How to activate a an unlocked iphone 5 without a sim card?

    Hi, I just got an unlocked Iphone 5 and I want to activate it but I don't have a sim card, Can I till do it? Thanks to all. 

    You can't do it. The iPhone requires a SIM card to activate. It does not have to be tied to an active line of service, but it must be present.

  • How many sessions does SAP allow you to have ??

    Dear Memebers,
    How many sessions does SAP allow you to have ??
    a) 3
    b) 6
    c) 9
    d) 12.
    I guess the right answer is B and C but in choices I have to select only 1, which answer will you pick and Why ??
    Thank You.
    Madhu.

    > I wanted to know for sure what is the answer.
    Hi Madhu,
    If you are going to ask questions such as these, then please indicate that you have searched and what you do already know and where & why you have a doubt somewhere which is worth discussing in the forum or sharing opinions or experiences on.
    Just asking for the answer only so that you don't feel too alone when answering 6 in the interview is of little value.
    Normally such "answer a, b, c, or d only or be quiet"-type-threads (like certification tests are) are deleted. That is the rules, and we have them for a reason.
    Anyway, you guys seem to have sorted this out amongst yourselves so there is no reason to interfere here IMO. Thanks for that.
    Cheers,
    Julius

  • TS1892 How do you install the start up if you dont have a working cd-rom?

    A friend of mine gave me this ibook for my son, And when i turn it on it just gaves a sound and goes to a grey screen with the finder file in the middle of the screen with a question mark flashing back in forth for about five min and just stops. so my question is how do i get it to open up and work?

    I think that means there is no system installed.  Your friend probably erased the hard drive (to delete personal information) before giving it to you.
    You should ask your friend if he/she has the original discs that came with the iBook.  When you say "if you dont have a working cd-rom," are you saying you don't have the disc, or are you saying the iBook's optical drive is not working?
