I bought an Ipad WiFi 3G CDMA (Verizon) model, and am in Ghana and can't use cos it has no sim card slot. Can i take it to the iShop in Gh for a replacement or do i have to buy a new one? Is there an alternate solution?
How can i get it replaced?
As far as I am aware CDMA models are only sold in the US so you would need to take it back to where you bought it from for a replacement or refund (and you would also need to be within that store's refund time period). If you have a non-Verizon iPhone then you might be able to use that with a local micro-sim as a mobile hotspot for the iPad, assuming that your phone carrier supports the personal hotspot function on the iPhone, or you could try getting a mifi device and use that with the iPad

I take my sim out of my phone so that I won't be tempted to make phone calls while abroad. I now have the issue of having lost my phone and not being able to find it with the "Find My Iphone". I am still technically under a 90 day warranty but can my phone be replaced or do I have to buy a new one?
The warranty covers defects in manufacturing and workmanship. If your phone is not operating properly and has not been physically damaged, it will be replaced under warranty.
The warranty is NOT insurance against theft or loss.
You will have to purchase a new phone. -
I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?
If officially unlocked, you can purchase a sim from one of the two nationwide GSM carriers, AT&T or T-Mobile. However, AFAIK, none of the carriers in India offer unlocking for the iPhone. Thus, if your phone is carrier locked, the only way it will work in the US is roaming...that would cost a fortune.
So, if you have a carrier locked iPhone, leave it home or sell it before you come to the US, then purchase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, when you get to the US. You'll be able to use that phone in India when you go back. -

I know I can switch two iphone 4s's with SIM cards, but can I flip a CDMA iphone 4 (no SIM) with a 4s (has SIM)?
My wife wants to use my daughter's 4s phone instead of her CDMA iphone 4 with no SIM. Does verizon need to do the switch since I can't just switch SIM cards and restore from backup?Unless the 4S was sold for Verizon, the CDMA module is disabled. Regardless, Verizon will not activate devices on their network that were not specifically sold for their network.

My computer crashed and I have to buy a new one. What happens to my Contacts, Photos, etc when i use the new computer? I do not have an iTunes backup.
Do you have the iCloud set up? If you don't you need to buy a third party software that will do it for you when you plug your phone into the new computer. You can google: iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer. You have to pay for the software but it's really a life saver and you get free updates for life. It'll save you a lot of pain and suffering in the future. I've used it many times.

I have a 2007 Mac Book Pro and a Genius told me that it is "vintage" and that the "logic board" is bad and no longer supported. He removed the hard drive and told me to buy a "sled" to retreive the data. Is it worth trying to fix it so that I don't have to buy a new one? Where should I take it? Thanks.
djgornik,
if the Genius is correct and the logic board is bad, then replacing the logic board would be fairly expensive. What problems are you seeing with your MacBook Pro that caused you to visit the Genius in the first place? Whether it’s worth trying to fix it or not depends on your particular circumstances, such as your willingness to trade time for money in pursuing repair vs. replacement. -
I spill all my coffee on my new MacBook Air, its not working anymore, what should i do ? I have to buy a new one coz its pricy to fix it.
Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement. -
How can I use a iPhone 4 without the sim card slot on Walmart family mobile?
The Verizon iPhone 4 is a CDMA only phone. It is not physically possible to use it on a GSM network. It doesn't have the right parts. Also, we can't discuss jailbreaking here.
Best of luck. -
I bought iphone4 in china, the ss number is 82044JAVA4S, and it broken when I was in USA. After I sending to your company. You send me a new phone, but this phone is locked phone. I can't use it. Because my sim card is from china, so I think you shoulu give me a unlocked one.
I understand your frustration.
Fortunately for you, you can make your new phone to work; but to do so, you have to call your Chineese carrier and give them the IMEI number found on the SIM card of your iPhone.
They will then activate it and you will be able to use it.
It's NOT a matter of locked/unloked phone; it's a matter of activating (pairing) a SIM card with a phone !
Just call you Chineese carrier and have them register your SIM card with your new iPhone and you will be back in Business ! -
I I bought an iphone 4s factory unlocked. Can i set it up with my sim card in canada then take it out and bring the phone to iran without any problems?
A legitimately unlocked iPhone should work with any compatible 3G GSM carrier. The iPhone, however, is considered 'restricted technology, and cannot be legally taken to Iran.

Please turn off your cpas lock.

Do as the manual says to do and restore the iphone. -
When i try to download apps this message comes up. This app is incompatible with this Ipod Touch, this app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability. can i up grade my ipod to OpenGL ES 2.0, or do i have to buy a new one?
Correct. That error indicates you have a 2G iPod. You say you have an 8 GB 3G iPod there is not such thing. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. You have a 2G iPod.

you have to buy one, but Apple can do the battery changing for you (for a fee) as it can be quite tricky to do.
