I bought my iphone from jordan and it was locked to orange jordan, now i am living at UAE how can run my phone here ?

Only Orange Jordan can unlock this phone for you, provided that they offer this service. You can't use UAE SIM in this phone or it will get locked.
If Orange Jordan doesn't offer unlocking, then your best shot is to sell your phone in Jordan and buy a new one from UAE.

HT4623 I bought my iPad from a friend and updated to iOS 7.1. Now in order to activate it I need to sign in using the original iTunes account but I can't contact the owner. Is there a way to get past this or should I toss my iPad into the garbage?

The ONLY source of unlocked iPhones in UK is Apple retail Stores ( Apple owned )
all others will be locked to a carrier (did you buy from carphonewarehouse )
Only the carrier who locked it can unlock the iPhone
Apple do NOT unlock iPhones
If you purchased from Apple (the Apple ) then contact the store
if not it is locked to a carrier

Delete the App Store app by dragging it and dropping it into the Trash. Then download and install the appropriate update combo for your version of OS X;
Install new MAS app -
OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 update combo

HT4528 I forgot my passcode for my iPhone and I had too much content to back it up in iCloud. How can I unlock my phone without having to restore it?

I forgot my passcode for my iPhone and I had too much content to back it up in iCloud. How can I unlock my phone without having to restore it? I don't want to lose all my contacts and messages.

You can't. The ONLY solution is to restore the device. If there were an easy way around the passcode lock, it wouldn't serve much purpose, would it?

I have bought an iphone from a friend and want to unlock it from vodaphone do I need to contact apple or just vodaphone?

I have bought an iPhone 3GS from a friend and it is locked in to Vodaphone, I need to unlock it as I live in Spain and my friend is in the UK. Do I need to contact Apple with the IMEI number to have the phone registered to me or do I just contact Vodaphone? I need to do this asap so please help?

Only Vodaphone can authorize the unlocking of this phone. Apple can't/won't help you.
However, Vodaphone, like most carriers, will only authorize unlocking for customers, obviously not you. You need to get your friend to request that Vodaphone authorize the unlocking of this phone.

I bought my ipod shuffle used from a friend and it isn't recognized in my iTunes. Does anyone know how to reset the shuffle or what I can do to resolve this issue?

I bought my ipod shuffle used from a friend and it isn't recognized in iTunes. I wondered if anyone knew how to reset it to factory settings and for me to be able to use it as my own.

... Does anyone know if it would be backed up somewhere else,
If you do not know if you backed up your computer, how could someone else know?
Everything you downloaded from iTunes can be downloaded again:

I am restoring an iphone 5 that i bought from a friend and when i go to activate it its says "iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable..."

I just bought this iphone 5 from a friend and it has no sim card in it. i got it restored but when i tried to activate it on the intial setup it is say "iPhone cannot be activated at this time the activation server is temporairly unavailable. ???

yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries

You cannot delete the iCloud account that is signed on to Find My iPhone unless you know the password. This is called the Activation Lock:
ACTIVATION LOCK
It is an anti-theft security measure that is a part of iOS 7. You can only get around this by following the steps in this support article:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
Contact your friend. This is the only way around the lock.

Unlikely as you do not meet there requirements for unlocking.
Have your friend the provided the phone contact them. Based on your statements I am concluding he was or still is an AT&T customer, that is one of the requirements of getting the device unlocked.
