If the iPhone was hacked to be unlocked, when installing an iOS update or when restoring the iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, doing so re-locks the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with when new.
If hacked to be unlocked or for any other reason, all built-in security included with iOS has been removed opening the iPhone up to malware and spyware.

please help !!
With iOS 7 activation lock, you need to know the previous owners AppleID password, or have them remove the device from their iCloud account. Otherwise, you will never be able to use that device.
So get in touch with the previous owner as otherwise, you now own a brick. -

That does not have anything to do with it.

I bought my iPhone on Friday and when I tried to use it to make a call (after I had left the store) the screen had turned green - as if a green filter had been placed over it. When I turned the phone sideways the color turned to magenta. Anyone else have this problem? I plan on exchanging the phone but can't get there until later this week.
Next time you post here, you might think about using a title and the provide your description below.

I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?
See this previous discussion.

I bought a movie on itunes and when i try to play it on my apple tv it says the device is not autorized. My apple tv is the older one with an actual hard drive that is full. Tha apple tv is logged into my itunes account.
ATV2 does not have permanent storage. The rental is flushed when the device is turned off or other content accessed. You would need to use your computer to rent (and home-share to ATV) if you wish to store for a later time.

I just got a Hp Deskjet 2540 and when I try to print (direct print) from my iPad, I get the message that the printer is busy. Can anyone help?
Exactly what is the message you get and when. Presumably you are using IE9 to download the Firefox Installer file.
Try the site http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html to download the latest Firefox version in the correct language.

Hello, my phone was being slow so i turned it off. when i went to turn it back on it did the usually white apple logo but it has been on that logo for 15 or more minutes now what do i do?
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I have an issue with my computer. the volume was working fine on wednesday june 29th 2011 (thats the last I could remember) and today is july 3rd 2011. so when I start the computer up it does not let me play anything trough the iTunes volume when I start a song it goes immediately to pause but no sound comes out. When I click on the volume in the menu bar it does not allow me to raise the volume up, nor does it allow me to play volume through my speakers when I am on youtube.com. AND when I go to system preferences it has checked off that it is on mute, BUT it is a light gray color and it does not let me check the setting off. please help! what do I do? I think it is still under warranty because it is only between 11 months-12 months old.
*******************************************************ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED THANKK YOU!*************************************************************That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific) -
how can i change siri's robotic voice ???!!!!
I've read some posts from users who were able to fix this by restoring to their last backup. You could give this a try.

I assume the MBP is new and you have Lion on it (10.7)?

I bought a iPhone 6 yesterday and I restored my iPhone 6 from my iTunes back up. After my phone restored from back up. When I plug my iPhone 6 it's still saying my iPhone 6 is new and still giving me the restore from a back up or set as a new iPhone option. But I already have it restored. How come it's not giving me any option to cancel.
Click set up as a new iPhone. It will associate the device with your library without clearing the content that you have already loaded onto it.
