HT3939 i purchase an iphone 5s thinking it was at&t.

i purchase an iphone 5s thinking it was at&t. before buying it, i went in settings, i saw that the carrier name said at&t 15.5 (which is a gsm phone). now that i check the back, i see that the model number is A1453 (which is a cdma phone from sprint). can you fake carrier in iphones setting?? or can an at&t phone be a1453 (cdma)..i remember when reading the legal notice on it, it said at&t. im really confuse now

where did you buy it from

  • Hello all. I just purchased the iphone 4s and i was interested to know if you have to pay again when copying songs purchased on another iphone

    I used to have an iphone 3G, i have a lot of purchased items so I was interested to know that when putting them onto my iphone4s using the icloud will i need to pay for them again? i know it sounds silly because youve already paid for the song, but i just wanted to be sure. Many thanks

    I am using the same iTunes account, its straight from the 'purcased' part off the store.

  • I have the 10.6.7 update, bought Angry Birds Rio (thinking I was buy Angr   uying just Angry Birds.  I fixed the crash problems, but now I don't know what to do with this game.  Nothing seems to work--can't even find the curser.  Can I get my money back-?

    I purchased Angry Birds Rio thinking I was buying Angry Birds.  Are there any directions on what to do with this game?  Also my track pad does not respond so I really can't use this game.  Can anyone shed some light on this--first it crashed, now it doesn't respond so--can I get my money back??

    Contact apple here about a refund

  • HT3939 If I purchase an iPhone in Canada will the warranty still be valid in Australia, where I reside?

    If I purchase an iPhone 5s in Canada will the warranty still be valid in Australia. The price difference is astounding - almost $200 different so it is a great saving even with GST cashback and currency differences. Are there other issues to be aware of - for example a CDMA vs GSM phones? Is this applicable to the 5s?
    Thanks

    no - the warranty is only valid in the country in which the Iphone was purchased - if you need a repair you would have to ship the phone to someone in Canada who would ship it to Apple- Apple would ship it back to the person in Canada who could then send it to you
    the 5s is a world phone which supports both GSM and CDMA - but there may be issue of bands supported or being locked to a particular carrier - i dont know if Apple sells locked phone in Canada or locked and unlocked phones in Australia - the Apple web site should list what models are sold where

  • I purchased a iPhone from a individual, so, it has all his information as far as signing into iTunes...I want to change the Apple ID/e-mail on my iPhone and iTune account without loosing the current information/settings on my iphone.

    Everyone that has or had a iPhone, if they did not buy from the dealer, they purchased it from a individual...in most cases, the phone has to be unlocked unless it's being used with the same carrier as the seller.  My question is, when you purchase the phone from a individual and it has been unlock and has the seller's information...e-mail/Apple ID information for iTunes..so I can't purchase anything from the apple store because I don't have his password...I was wondering how do I change that without resetting it to the original settings, is there any way I can purchase from the iTune Store with my own Apple ID.  Since he does not own this phone anymore, there should be a way to change that....I am just wondering...HELP?
    I sold my first iPhone, it was unlocked, and the guy that purchased my phone, set up it so he could use his own Apple ID, but, I never asked how he did that, because I did not think at the time I would purchase another iPhone...  anyhow, does anyone have the answer...please advise...thanks in advance...

    Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using your ID.

  • 1) I have multiple accounts at the iTunes store and none are now associated with my purchases...I think because passwords have been associated with various id's and I can't log in and access those purchases.  I want to get back to being able to use one i

    1) I have multiple accounts at the iTunes store and none are now associated with my purchases...I think because passwords have been associated with various id’s and I can’t log in and access those purchases.  I want to get back to being able to use one id and password and be able to access those purchases.
    2) When I upgraded my iPhone 3gs, to the latest version 5.0.1 (9A405), is when I noticed that i couldn’t update my applications.  There are two names/accounts on the phone and prior to the update there was just the one.  I have tried entering every conceivable password that I have ever used and get the incorrect password error every time. The apps on the iPhone are apparently associated with several/different accounts.  I just want to get everything back to the way it was.  One id and one password with purchases associated with just one account that can be updated on my computer as well as my iPhone.

    Hello sadiepix,
    The following article details several things that can be done to quell iTunes' constant need for authorization.

  • Seeking advice - Walk-in purchase of iphone 4?

    Hi All,
    I currently own the iphone 3G and when I got it, I waited in line at my local AT&T store for a couple of hours and ended up having to order it, but received it in a few days. That being said, I haven't had much too much experience with huge launches and being a walk-in customer hoping to purchase an iphone on the 24th.
    I was hoping you all might have some advice about where you think I should try. The closest Apple store is 1.5 hours away, so I wasn't really planning on going there. I have a Best Buy, 2 radio shacks, 2 Walmarts, and 2 AT&T stores. I plan to call each of them on Wednesday to see if they have any idea if they'll even have phones available for walk-ins, but where would you all suggest trying to obtain a phone on the 24th? I know it's a long shot anywhere I go, but I was hoping people might have more experience or even some educated guesses about who would get more of the product? There has to be some kind of rhyme or reason, right? LOL
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    well AT&T stores are out of the question since they pushed back the walk in date to the 29th.

  • I purchased an iphone 4 from a friend, i called the carrier and they have unlocked it for me but the phone still needs to be activated as i have restored it. Can i activate the iphone through itunes by using a different carriers sim card?

    Help Please,
    I purchased an iphone 4 from a friend, i somehow cleared it and it's now at the original activation screen, i have spoken to the carrier and they have unlocked it for me. Once the carrier unlock details get sent to apple, will i be able to use any carrier sim card to activate the iphone? currently when i connect to itunes it says the sim is not the original one and i need to insert the original sim... will this happen now that it has been carrier unlocked? i have been told the unlocking can take between 5 and 72 hours, do i just keep trying with itunes or do i have to do something different?
    This is a christmas present for my son and i am running out of time, i'm not in an area that i can just go into an apple store and ask, i'm currently overseas in a very poor country and there are not many iphones that i have seen here so your help would really be appreciated.
    i think the operating system is 6.0.1
    Thanks,
    Matt.

    And have you waited that long? If not, then that's why it's not done yet.

  • I am from the UK and I want to purchase an iPhone 5 or 4s in America in roughly June, how can I do this!?

    I am planning a trip to New York and Florida in June and I live in the UK.
    I want to get a iPhone 5 or 4s from America as they are cheaper in the US.
    I know that Apple aren't currently selling the iPhone 5 in America unlocked but if they were how much do you think they would be?
    Also would I even be able to use it in the UK after buying the iPhone 5 or 4s in America?????

    LTE: High Speed cellular data network.
    If I lived in the UK, that's where I'd purchase my iPhone. One of the big benefits of iPhone 5 is LTE, and a Noth American iPhone only supports LTE in North America. Not to mention the warranty/support issue...an iPhone purchased in the US will only have a valid warranty in the US. So, yes, purchase your iPhone in the UK. Not only will you have LTE support, your warranty will be EU wide.

  • Anyone else have their cc hacked after purchasing an iPhone?

    My husband and I bought iPhones about a month ago, each using our own credit cards to make the purchases. Now within two days of each other our credit cards were hacked. When it happened to me over the weekend, I didn't think much of it. But now that it's happened to him I'm suspicious. He rarely uses that card, so for both of us to have the cards we used to purchase our iPhones hacked makes me extra suspicious.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    I definitely contacted Citi to tell them that. I'm just surprised. I think I'm going to take my cc info off my iTunes acct. It'll be a pain to enter it manually every time I want to make a purchase with my phone but clearly Apple is having security issues.
    Another thing to consider is Citi bank itself.  Seriously, especially over the last five years or so, they have one of the worst credit card security records of any major bank.
    Also, do you use those credit cards for any standing payments (cable bill, heat, electric, cell service, anything like that?).  If so, contact them as well and ask about any recent security breaches - companies will often not inform customers of potential breaches until quite some time after the fact.

  • I purchased my iphone 4s in the states can i get it repaired in europe?

    I purchased my iphone 4s in the states (Carrier free) can i get it repaired in europe?

    I wanted to finish up giving feedback about the repair. The phone had an issue with headset and the top headphone sensor was on. (they say it was damaged by water) (phone is always in my handbag). At fisrt they said to me on phone support that it would be in warranty...at the store they put it as that they were doing me a favor and they replaced the phone after there checks! what a bunch of c....
    I think this is the last product I buy...Talked to many people (nice people) everyone said different things and they refused to send me  the warranty statement WWW. I feel like Im carrying around a crystal glass that can break any time! Its a phone!! with protective case and all...PLEASE...

  • Unable to transfer all purchases from Iphone to PC

    Greetings,
    I have a problem with transfering all purchases from iphone to pc.
    My iphone has full disk and I want to erase some songs. But I can not erase it on iphone, so I tried to transfer all apps in phone to PC, but there is one app navigation "Speed & Traffic Traps Europe" (or something similar) that can not be transfered. Size is 1,9 GB and it is always trying to transfer, but after some time 30-45 minutes it just stopped without any error or something and app is not transfered.
    I was thinking about deleting it and downloading it again, but I can't find it in appstore. So I don't know what to do. How to transfer purchase to PC without losing it.
    Can you people help me please?
    Thank you.

  • Has anyone purchased the iPhone 4 full retail price?

    I'm currently thinking about purchasing the iPhone at the unsubsidized price which is $700 for the 32GB iPhone 4. But my upgrade is available until May 8 of this year.
    I'm a kinda impatient person but working on being patient but I really do want the iPhone.
    Has anyone bought the iPhone 4 at a unsubsidized price or was it subsidized?
    I'm on a family plan also and my sister line (primary) and my mother line (month to month non contract) is available for upgrade. I can use those I hope...
    Thanks...

    Many people on here have bought the iPhone at the full retail price because their upgrade wasn't up yet. In your situation, I would advise you to wait until May 8th, it's a lot closer than most people's and it's a substantial discount when you wait. You'll save $400. Or as you've pointed out, you can use your sister's or mother's upgrades right now if they don't mind, and then whoever's upgrade you take can use yours on May 8th. That would also be a very good choice, rather than purchasing the full retail iPhone.

  • I just purchased an iPhone 5, tonight I tried the ear pods for the first time. The fit to the jack on the phone is poor and most times I just get a static sound.

    I just purchased an iPhone 5. Tonight when I tried to use the earpods for the first time, I get a ststic sound and the jack seems to be incorrect size Any suggestions?

    Are you sure you pushed the jack all the way in?
    If you think they're defective, bring them back for exchange.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.
