HT4993 there are some problems with my iphone

my uncle bought a iphone 5 in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax, unlocked ,it is very good , but now he give it to me as a gift using in china with local carrier,I found it can not working anymore including facetime imessage  sending message call somebody ect. This is very serious for Apple and me! can you help me?
Information of my iPhone:
SN:DN*******8GH

Sorry, but your Uncle wasted his money. Sprint iPhone 5's are NOT sold as officially unlocked, the sim slot is in fact locked to Sprint & can only be officially unlocked by Sprint. However, Sprint will not authorize the unlocking of the sim slot unless you are a current customer using the phone on Sprint's network. Thus, there is no way for you to activate the phone or get the sim slot unlocked.
Send it back to your Uncle, as it will be useless to you for anything other than a paperweight. And no, Apple can't/won't help you.

  • My iPhone 5 shows me there is a problem with your iPhone when it activate

    I got iphone5 from my chinese friend and it was wraped (in other words its new)
    And I cutted my micro SIM from my iphone 4 into nano SIM
    But when I try to activate this, the signal is searching... and no service.
    Also I tried through itunes to active my iphone and it shows me there is a problem with your iphone.
    is it country lock problem or probably my SIM card problem or itself problem..
    but when I tried without SIM card it shows me
    There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate.
    Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone.
    What should I have to do now?
    Go to Apple store offline and diagnosis or go to mobile company and get nano SIM or something else...

    No, it wasn't jailbroken on iOS 5.1.1.

  • TS3694 "There is a problem with your iPhone." (Restoring/Recovery issues)

    So, the other day, I got my iPhone 4 wet (idiot, I know!).  After drying it out in a bowl of rice for 24 hours, it seemed to start up just fine and when connected to iTunes, it prompted me to do a full restore to factory settings. I did just that, and after the restore software downloaded and seemed to install onto the iPhone, it began going through the setup process.  It let me go through a few screens of setup (language, country, location services etc., before showing the connect to iTunes screen). Then iTunes displayed this message:
         "There is a problem with your iPhone. Please visit the Service Answer Center to find answers to all your questions about service options, warranty and other      processes in your country. To find your nearest Apple Store, click here."
    There are no other options given on neither the phone nor iTunes.
    I am out of warranty, have called Apple about replacement options, and was also advised to continue trying to restore.  After 3 or 4 times trying to restore, with the same message, I am asking if anyone knows any other tricks before I go and fork out $169.99 for a replacement phone.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hii mikeszalay,
    I have exactly same issue, and my screen can show language and country after I restored for like 7 times.
    My itunes is showing
    "There is a problem with your iPhone. Please visit the Service Answer Center to find answers to all your questions about service options, warranty and other processes in your country. To find your nearest Apple Store, click here."
    What did you do after this problem? did you successfully fix the phone? Cause I dont know what to do now, and my phone is also out of warranty : (( It will be a really great help if you could share experience!!
    Thank you so much!!!

  • There is a problem with your iphone after restore

    there is a problem with your iphone message on itunes after phone restore

    One thing you could do is to go into a dfu mode and restore your phone again
    This is how u enter into dfu mode
    Plug your device into your computer.
    Turn off the device.
    Hold the Power button for 3 seconds
    Hold the Home button without releasing the Power button for 10 seconds
    Release the Power Button but keep holding the Home button
    Keep holding the Home button until you are alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode

    You may need to try this More than Once...  Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
    Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
    Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
    If the issue persists...
    Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • I created one apple I'd when I started using the iPad.  After some days, I had to create a new apple I'd as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple I'd is appearing.  Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.

    as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple Id is appearing.  Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.

    Anything you downloaded with the first Apple Id will forever be tied to it, and will always require it to update.
    The question here is, why did you think you needed to create a new Apple ID? What was the problem with the first one?
    To get rid of th old one, you'll need to delete everything you downloaded with it, and then sign out of the ID in several places around the iPad. 
    Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign out.
    Repeat the process, for Facetime, Messages, Mail and any other App you need to sign out of.

    You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • "There is a problem with your Iphone..."

    So I purchased my Iphone off trademe last year, it did not come with warranty ect.
    About 3 weeks ago I dropped my iphone in water, I put it in rice + silica gels in a sealed zip lock bag for about a week.
    It was working fine for about 2 days and it suddenly collapsed;
    - it does not charge properly, the battery is always on either 1% or 100% but whenever I pull it out of the charger, it turns off immediately or stays on for about a minute or so and shuts off.
    - It charges for a little whenever I plug it into my Mac, but then turns off after 5 min or so of charging and then blinks off and on with the apple logo continuously until I have to plug it into my wall charger.
    - It does not function properly unless it is plugged into my wall charger. It works for about 15 min and then turns off, automactically turning back on with the IOS 6 start up screen. Whenever this happens I have to turn it back off and then on for it to return to normal.
    - I have restored it once successfully, and it worked perfect, but I forgot to charge it over night and it went all funny again.
    So now, I have tried restore it again. I connected my iphone to itunes, and my iphone successfully stayed on throughout the process of restoration. But then as soon as it finished, my iphone was supposed to restart but it started blinking on and off which made me have to connect it back to my wall charger. So now it sometimes works normally whilst connected to the wall charger, but usually it continues to turn off and on with the IOS 6 start up screen. When I slide the 'set up' slide, it comes up with the image of the USB cord and Itunes saying 'Connect to Itunes. And so, I do. But then it comes up with the very annoying message "There is a problem with your Iphone, please go to your nearest apple store...ect." on itunes, but in my iphone it says "Connected to itunes." but I have no idea what to do next? I can't put it into recovery mode because it doesn't charge properly on my mac, so it does not turn back on no matter how long I have charged it for.
    I have NO idea what to do! And I need itunes to back up my phone!
    Any help is very appreciated!
    Does anyone know what I have to do to get my battery working normal again? And what I have to do to get my itunes to "not have a problem with my iphone?
    Thank you!

    I hate to tell you this, but there is most likely nothing left on the phone to back up. If youdidn't have it backed up already, it's too late now.
    As for getting it working again, make an appointment at the genius bar. You'll need to pay for an out of warranty replacement.
    That one is almost certainly toast.

    The warranty is NOT international. You must take it back to the country of origin if it needs repair. The E.U. is considered a single country for warranty purposes.

  • Is something wrong with the new software update. My battery dies within 4 hours. There are also problems with my e-mail accounts. Can someone help me?

    Have you attempted an iTunes restore and setting up as a new device? Sometimes battery life issues can be caused by corrupted iOS software.

  • After I updated to iOS 6.0, iTunes tells me "there is a problem with your iPhone".
