my iphon 5 said "only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. please insert the sim card that came with ur phone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement sim card" what do i do??? i leave in diferent country now!!!???(((
in many countries to make phones seem less expensive
carriers pay most of the phones price for the customer
but this come at the cost of the phone only being able to work
with the carrier this is called a sim lock
the only people who can remove a sim lock is the carrier which
the phone is sim locked to they been doing it like that for at least 20 years -
I use an external hard drive as a Time Machine back up, but I want to use another external hard drive to save movies, photos on it, but it won't give me the option to save anything on the new external hard drive. Nothing is wrong with the external hard.
Hi Clarkett99,
To use an external hard drive for your iTunes library, see the steps in this article -

iPhoto can be used in a similar way, follow the steps in this previous discussion -

I am in Germany and purchased a sim card. It says my phone is locked, is there a way to unlock it online (I only have wifi so I can't call Verizon Support)?
I actually managed to unlock it by borrowing someone else's phone to call
verizon. I am using my iphone 4s with an aldi sim card. I'm having some
trouble with sms and internet, but I don't think that has anything to do
verizon, thank you for getting back to me!

Certain sites say application failed. This happens with the control panel too
When I try to get to my Skype account the screen gets an error box that says application failed.How can I stop this? Plus I can't do certain things with the control box.It won't let me do any of the listed fixes.
This has happened from time to time - but was not Verizon Blocking the website, but the other way around, the website usually will have an out of date bogon filter. Verizon constantly is giving out new ip addresses to customers, sometimes with brand new IP Blocks as they get more and more customers. So sometimes the filters in websites, are out of date and don't include the newest ip blocks.
Usually you can engage the website owner, ask them to update their bogon filter list with your subnet, but if that is not easy, then you can turn off your router at night when you go to bed, the 4 hour lease on your ip address will break, 2 to four more hours pass, and your ip will go to a different customer, or cycled back into the cloud, and then when you wake up and turn it back on you will have a new ip, that is likely not blocked.
So give that a try. OR if you are in a rush and need it asap, then release your DHCP ip leave your modem off for at least 10-30 minutes, so your IP can get cycled back into the cloud and you can get a new one. if you do it too fast, then you will likely get the same ip and that defeats the purpose. -
I have version 4, just downloaded, and a Mac w. OS 10.6. 7.
The bookmarks display (when I pull down "bookmarks") is much too wide. I can't figure out how to reduce the display size. The window is not persistent so I can't even get you a screen shot.
Thanks, SaraIt seems there was a change in Firefox 4 where the width of the drop-down is now determined by the length the longest bookmark name in the folder being displayed. Previous versions of Firefox would shorten a long name like that and add an ellipsis to signify the name was truncated.
Sorry, I don't know how to change that other than to advise you to edit the name of that long bookmark name and make it less verbose. Just scroll down the list of bookmarks in that wide folder until you see the culprit, then right-click that bookmark and open Properties & edit the Name line at the top of that dialog. -
Dear ,
I buied I phone from USA and I sent to Iraq to use it there but when used it I get this message :
The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier
so I need support to resolve this problem and procedure and how I can iPhone be unlocked.
BR,

I was trying to transfer itunes to my macpro from my iphone 4 and the phone froze up with the itunes logo and a usb cord looking like its suppose to plug into the itunes.. Now my phone wont go past that screen and i cant use the phone at all... Help if you can?
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created. -
when i turn my iphone 4 on, it comes up with a picture of a cord connecting to an itunes icon. when i plug it into my pc, it says the settings on my iphone need to be restored. but i dont want to restore it as will lose everything on it. what shall i do?
You have no chose but to restore your phone. What do you mean "lose everything"? Is your data/iTunes content not on your computer?

I plugged my iPhone 4 into my computer with the USB charger cable, and the screen went blank and came up with a picture of the usb cable with an arrow pointing to iTunes....Can anyone help get this fixed????
Connect your iPhone to iTunes and restore or follow the prompts.

The USB cord needed to transfer photos from my iPhone 5 to Windows XP has nothing to do with the charging cord which appears to have an USB 'end', but apparantly is not, as it will not fit into any USB port on my PC?
An iPhone 5 comes with a single cable. It is a USB to Lightning connector cable that is used for charging, for syncing, and for transferring photos from the Camera Roll to your computer. There is no separate cable for charging.

I have an iPhone 4s just eight months, it is normal that the battery lasts only 3 hours? please help me thank you very much.
Three hours if definitely NOT normal. I get at least 48 hours out my 2 year old iPhone 4S' battery with light usage. Did you do the iOS 7 update on the phone it self (OTA) or through iTunes? In my experience most problems are caused by the OTA updates. For this reason I ALWAYS update using iTunes on my computer.
I would suggest restoring your phone using iTunes on your computer and setting it us as a new phone. This downloads a fresh copy of iOS 7.1 from Apple and installs it on your phone. Just make sure that you transfer all purchased items (apps, music, etc.) as well as photos to your computer before restoring as the restore will completely wipe your phone. Do not restore from a back-up. Yes, you will loose all your data on the phone but restoring a back-up can restore the problem you are currently having back to your phone. Once your phone has been restored you can manually sync back your apps and music.
Before restoring you can also check to see that battery-killers like Location Services, Background App Refresh, etc are only turned on for the apps that really need it. I recently read and article that said that the Facebook app can be a real battery killer. If you have this app installed turn of location services and background app refresh for this app and see if that helps. Also go to Settings / General / Restrictions / Location Services / System Services and turn off all the options in that menu. Your phone does not need any of those to function. Constantly using your phone's GPS is a huge battery killer. I only have Location Services enabled for Find my iPhone and Background App Refresh is turned off completely.
I hope this helps. -
Just updated my iphone. Now I can se I have two! iCloud accounts? One of them appears on my phone, and I have forgotten the password. When I try to add the other account, I get the message that this account is already added, but with the name of the first account where there is no available password. I have tried several times to reset the password, bun I don't get the information I need - I have no access to email. What can I do?
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks -
I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!
Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.
