ive unlocked my iphone4 to give it to some one as i upgraded to the 4s but the 4 wont take the new sim or my own sim. keeps saying no service??
Did you get it officially unlocked by going through the phone carrier? If not, that means you hacked or jailbroke your phone and we cannot offer help for a jailbroken phone.

i upgraded to the new itunes version 7 and now my podcasts on my iphone4 won't work. i get an error message "temporarily unavailable". has anyone found a solution to be able to listen to podcasts? thanks
I have the same problem, but don't expect Apple to help! I rang their help line and explained the situation and that the same experience is reported all over their forum and they would not assist unless I paid for a one year help subsciption.
This company has lost the plot! They create software that universally will not work then expect customers to pay to have it fixed. Technically I should walk straight into the nearest apple shop and ask for a refund, as the device is no longer fit for purpose!
Congratulations Apple for the best ant-promotional App on the market and your astounding lack of service ethos. -
I'm trying to use an iphone 3 with t-mobile plan, itune say the phone is unlocked however i can't get a signal with the new sims card
How is iTunes telling you it is unlocked? Did you go through an unlock procedure with your cell company and then Restore it in iTunes?

I will studying in the UK for the next year and want to know if an unlocked iPhone 4S with a new sim card purchased in the UK will work as opposed to getting a new phone? There seem to be differeing opinions on this.
Iphone 4s only has one version so it should work world wide in any carrier..As long as it's and unlocked version ofcourse.

if I swap SIMs (from different carriers) in an unlocked iPhone 5 do I need Itunes to config the new SIM?
No

If the new SIM is working, and I backed up the Iphone-4, why do I need to to RESET and Restore, as mentioned in the "About Unlocking" instruction?
I think you haven't told us the whole story. If the phone was working on multiple carriers before it was officially unlocked it was hacked to do so. If it wasn't, and you haven't seen the message "Congratulations. Your iPhone is unlocked" then you must still Restore iOS on it to get this message.

I was upgrading to the new operating system and my phone is now shut down. How do I get it unlocked?
Open Safari and on the menu named Safari click Preferences. In the Preferences window, click General at the top. Set "New windows open with" and "New tabs open with" to "Top Sites." You can leave the Homepage setting as it is (e.g. Google), but nothing will open to the Homepage unless you have a Home icon in the toolbar and click on it.

How do I check if my Iphone 4s is unlocked? with no new sim to insert
I have paid EE to unlock my Iphone4S. I have followed the instructions for backing up the phone, erasing, then restoring, but how do I tell if it has worked? I have no new sim from another carrier so I can't check. Is there another method of checking?
You need a SIM from another network, but not 3 I think. E.g. Free O2 Sim Card. No need to top-up; just send service msgs.

After restoring my 4S to unlock it, when I insert a new sim card is asking me for the pin number. Where do I find this number
Hello there, alting.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great information in regards to the SIM PIN:

Hi Just wondered if anyone can help with the above question? I had O2 phone unlocked and bought a local sim card, but although the calls are fine i have no option for internet etc. I have done searches and got the info details from the sim provider to activate, but instructions say i go to : Settings; General; Network and then Celluar Data Network, but I dont get that option ? When i put back my O2 sim card, the option reappears?
Can anyone help me please? Off to Australia again soon and really could do with it working properly this time.
Thanks everyone
RonnieHi Ronnie, was wondering what brand sim card you bought?
Was it from Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, Virgin or Mayasim?
I have a 4 S running iOS 5.01 is there an option in Settings - Network - Carrier? As this should be set to the supplier of the sim card. In my Settings - Network there is no option for Celluar Data Network.
What version of the iOS are you using?
Some prepaid sim cards may not have a lot of data, so I suggest searching the companies websites for the best deals before you come here. Telstra usually have good plans. If you take your phone to the shop you purchased the sim card from they will usually set it up for you.
Telstra runs on a different frequency to others and offers the best coverage in Australia.
Just for the record I am not an employee of any mobile company. -

If I had a macbook pro, and I buy a new one can I give my old macbook to pay part of the new one ?
The thing is that I want to buy a new macbook, but I dont know if apple can accept my old one as a part of paying part of the macbook. If not, what are the options for my old macbook pro?
Apple doesn't take used systems in trade. You can prepare the system to be sold (delete your personal data, etc), and put it on ebay or craigslist or other resource to sell it. Or you could always donate it to a member of your family.
