Can you please help me? Where should I sendmy phone to look if it needs repair or something? The phone looks very nice but can't get any signal it stays on searching and no network no matter what I do or where I go. It doesn't find any network. Can you please help me? What can it be? My friend said he had it for 2 years and it was working find with him.
I think it is from that.
Maybe Vodafone can help you by contracting the same contract form that your friend has/had: that was what the subsidy paid for. Anyway you should arrange it with Vadafone, I heard nowadays they will unlock it when the contract period has expired. -

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't delete photos from Photostream without resetting it at iCloud.com, also you can't have 1,200 photos in Photostream.
Have you tried turning Photostream off and on again. -

I powered my iPad off and when I turned it back on it is telling me to reconfigure it. So I select English then United States then I selected my WiFi then message comes up that says your iPad could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting your iPad to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes. Have tried several times and it is still not working. Nothing will show on screen on icons nothing.
Try to Update your iPad to iOS 6.1.4 when connected to iTunes via USB too.. You do not need to touch anything on your iPad to update your iPad either..

I just bought a iphone 3gs from my friend. when he gave it to me it was in recovery mode. Now everytime i try to Restore it i get the error 1603. is there any way to fix this ? please help !
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Are you sure your friend didn't jailbreak it?
If so, save yourself a lot of time and trouble - throw it in the trash. -
i have bought an iphone 3gs on ebay it worked with my sim but had last users pics numbers ect, so i restored it butb its failed and now all i get is connect to i tunes but will not restore ????
Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

You don't add media (other than music) to your device by dragging. It's by synching.

Hi, i'm Sameer frm Mauritius. I've bought an iphone 3gs frm ebay and it is lock. I dont have the original sim and i dnt know on which carrier it is lock. So now i want it to be unlock by apple so what i have to do? Plz some1 help me. THNX
You will have to call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number so they can advise who it is locked with. Then you will have to contact that cell provider and find out what their unlock process is, if there is a fee, and if you qualify. If it is locked to a company that does not have an unlock policy then you will not be able to unlock it.

i delete my iphone from find my i phone and now i want to make active my i phone i get the message your i phone could not be activated because the activation server failed i try it several time but my iphone is not activate help me fpls
Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.
The other possible issue is a device running the iOS7 Beta. If that is the case, and you are a developer, sign into the developers forums for assistance. If that is the case and you are not a developer, try google. -
