HT4623 will I lose my AT&T factory unlock if I update to ios 6?

I recently had at&t factory unlock my Iphone 4. It is currently running ios 5.1.1 and I want to know if I update it to the new ios 6, will I lose the unlock? Or do i just stick with 5.1.1? Thanks for any response as this is my first time posting anything here

If the phone has been officially unlocked by AT&T, it will not Re-lock when upgrading.

Will there be a iPhone 5s Factory unlocked?

Hi,
Will there be a iphone 5s factory unlocked phone?
I go over to the iphone 5s page and scroll down to find that it says Contract free T-Mobile,
Does that mean it will work with att? I dont want to get the phone from att becuase i dont want a contract at the moemet, and i will be traveling out of the U.S this december for a month and i would like to use my iphone 5s there with service,
I talked to a apple rep right before this and he said it will only work with T - Mobile because it says the sim is already installed,
And i asked him if i can use it for att, and he said no because the iphone 5s doesnt have a simcard slot that you can take out like with the iphone 5
which doesnt make sense because tmobile and att both run on sims.
Thank you very much in an advance!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong (hopefully with some factual information via a weblink), but there is currently NO Factory Unlocked iPhone 5S for sale in the United States. Factory Unlocked (aka. "Sim-Free") is only offered for the 4S and 5C.
All customers can purchase an iPhone 5S from Apple or respective carrier for the full retail price ($650+) and those devices will be internationally unlocked but locked to the carrier you pick.
In my case, I purchased an AT&T iPhone 5C at full retail price. I did not sign a new contract, pay an upgrade fee, etc. My phone, when plugged into iTunes tells me it's Unlocked. Again, I don't have a T-Mobile Nano-Sim to test if it's fully unlocked (domestic & international) but it's safe to assume I will only be able to use my 5C in the USA with AT&T.
Does this mean that the phone can never be fully unlocked? Probably not - I imagine all carriers and 3rd parties will be able to unlock the device (per-carrier terms, etc.).
Hope this clears up any confusion.
*Contract-Free T-Mobile is not fully unlocked either. T-Mobile no longer has contracts so Apple cannot present the T-Mobile version in the same space as the other carriers on their website. T-Mobile, like the other carriers, likely have the ability/option to fully unlock your device upon request (per-their carrier terms).

Will I be able to preorder factory unlocked iPhone 5 on 14th?

We don't know until pre-order day comes around. Only Apple knows.
However, if they do it like they did with the 4S, then it should be available within about a month.

It it was unlocked by Apple and not by the "factory" in the back room of the store you bought it then updating it will not lock it.

Will I loose any data on my phone if I update form ios 7 to 8

Will I loose any data on my phone if I update form ios 7 to 8

Normally when you update a device no data is lost and that includes games. But there are times when things go wrong. I suggest you make an encrypted backup through atones before updating. That way if something does go awry you can recover everything from that backup.
Start the latest version of iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone. Select your iPhone in the devices button at the top of the iTunes screen. Select the encrypted backup choice under the General tab. Be sure to remember the back up password. Once you have completed the backup you can remain connected to iTunes and do the update.

Why did I lose my apps on my iPhone after I update to IOS 6?

I would guess that it is because you failed to make sure that they were all on your computer before you updated.

Thanks. Did I do something wrong when I updated my iPhone? It was all gone when it restarted.

HT4623 Will I lose my photos and information if I restore and update?

I just received the following message when updating my phone. It says my phone is in recovery mode and I need to restore. Will I lose my photos and information if I restore and update?

IF your phone is in recovery mode, then all data is off the phone already.
You will need to restore your phone but you can use your icloud or itunes backup to get your information back.
I assume you back up on a regular basis right?

Will I lose plants vz zombies from my ihone after upgrade to ios 6?

I have ios 3 on my iphone 3gs and I want to upgrade to ios 6.
Will I lose the progress of plants vs zombies game?
Please help me if you know the answer.
Thanks.

No bother at all.
Try restoring the phone from the backup created just prior to upgrading to iOS 6, but if the messages are not restored, I know of no way to restore them.
Be sure to periodically back up your iPhone using iTunes, and make sure that computer has a backup as well.

Reset ipad1 to factory settings but cannot update to ios 5? any ideas please

Reset ipad 1 to factory settings and want to update to ios5 but doesn't appear possible? Can anyone help please?

If your iPad is currently on iOS 4 then you can only update by connecting it to your computer's iTunes ; if it's on iOS 5+ then you can either update to 5.1.1 via your computer's iTunes or directly on it via Settings > General > Software Update (that option only shows on iOS 5+)

HT4972 when I download and update to 5.1 will I lose any data on I phone or does update automatically do it for me?

Im Tryin to download IOS -5 to my iphone but I dont want to lose any data.

An update normally keeps all of your personal data on the phone so uou should be ok. Incase anything goes wrong though backup your phone on iTunes so you can easily restore it afterwards.

I have an iPod touch 32gb 3rd gen (model A1318) and am unable to update it to iOS5. When I try, I have to update iTunes first, and when I do that, it will no longer recognize my iPod (so I can't update the iOS). Help?

If it matters, I'm using a PC that's still running Windows XP, but this isn't my first rodeo, and I know both how to use the software and what applications are and aren't compatible with my computer.
I searched the web for answers, most of which amounted to a shrug and a "Meh." I called Apple support, who took a couple days to look into it, then had a supervisor call me back. His response, essentially, was a shrug and a "meh." So I'm kinda stuck. Any help you folks could give me would be much appreciated.
In addition, I've been reading a fair amount on how iOS 5 will cause a whole host of problems with the 32gb 3rd gen touch... is this true? And has Apple resolved it, or are they essentially force-retiring this model?

Dear Re_trace,
Don't you feel cheated and conned by this product. I am 50 years old and from what you write I can see you know a lot more about your computer than I do about mine. Additionally I live in southern Africa (in fact I live in one and work in another, neither of which appear on the drop down list when you start looking at asking Apple directly for help) and feel they shouldn't allow people to sell their products here (I bought it in a shop that sells i-Macs etc. - not off a guy on a street corner!)if they can't offer support.
I have just been going from error code to another, losing my music that took me hours and hours to install and catalogue/modify in the library etc. and now I've had enough of it.
Essentially it seems to me we have bought faulty products, and made Apple richer than Microsoft in the process.
I'm turningmy back on this bloody iPod Touch, giving it to my son to see if he has the ability and interest to get it working, and if he hasn't I'm just goinbg to have to sell it to a sucker who also wants to buy into the dream, until he wakes up to the reality of shoddy product. hours in front of a computer screen, a fortune in downloads (here I only have about 5 to 10 kb per second download speed), trawling the internet looking for people than have also suffered at the hands of an obviously fatally-flawed system.where every time Apple just recommends to install the latest version of iTunes.
I for one would rather have my money and my wasted time back............
I know I didn't help, but really I don't have any axe to grind against Apple, it's just that the hype in no way lives up to the reality. Look at all the people begging for anwers to their problems on this web-site! I know the shop in Mozambique won't give me my money back, but Apple should, and if Ford sold cars as reliable as these iPods, they'd be banned from selling them........
Or am I just too old to realie how exciting it is internettingf all over th eplace to try to fix what is actually an inferior Walkman........
Good luck solving your problem, and I hope you think that all the effort you are putting in (and which I have now given up putting in), is worth it.
Hope you solve ht eproblems!

What will Apple do if my iPod Touch 4g crashed while updating to iOS 6?

Yesterday while trying to update my iPod touch 4g to iOS 6, it just suddenly shut down mid-way (on a charger). When I tried turning it back on, it would pull up the battery screen indicating that the battery is low, so I would plug it in the charger again. Although after its charged a bit, it would pull up the Apple logo and then go to a (teal) blue screen and I cannot do anything else. When plugged into a computer, my laptop can't even recognize my iPod touch. I've tried draining the battery out all of the way, then charging it up again and it won't work. My iPod touch isn't jailbroken either, and there was 2.4GB free space like indicated during the update. I'm wondering what will Apple do if I would bring it to the store?
I'm really upset because I just barely bought this about two months ago when I broke the screen on my other iPod touch

try putting it in DFU mode

if this doesnt work take it in and explain. as long as its not jail broken, apple should fix it

HT4623 My iPad gave me a message saying I needed to update the 'IOS'? and would let me do anything but click 'update'. So I did. Now it is 'stuck' on a screen titled 'Joining Other Network' and it won't give me any other screen or option.

I have tried turning my iPad off and on several times over the past two days since it stopped working. Also, I have now connected it to my main apple computer, thinking the two would perhaps 'sync', to no avail. My computer seems to be working fine. How do I get my iPad to function again?

If you open it to take out the battery from the iPhone then you forfeit all service for whatever reason from Apple in the future.
Have you attempt to connect it to your computer and then restore it from iTunes on your computer?
