I can't seem to unlock my phone I have the code from vodaphone but don't no what to do

I got a iPhone 4 it was locked so I requested it to b unlocked from Vodafone I received the code today but don't now how to or were to put the code

Hi kittyc1984,
You may want to verify with your carrier that you were requesting a carrier unlock (for using the iPhone on a different carrier), as opposed to something like a SIM PIN unlock code. You may find the following article helpful:
iPhone: About unlocking

If you *were* requesting a SIM PIN unlock code, you may find this article more useful:

Most carriers require that you restore the device in iTunes to complete an authorized unlock.

My Mac is frozen. I can't seem to log out of safari so I may restart. I don't know what to do. Your help is greatly appreciated.

What can I do in order for me to restart my Mac! It froze on me while working. I can't restart my Mac, b/c I can't log out of Safari.

Force Quit .
Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time for 3 seconds. Wait.
When Force Quit window appears, select the application if not already.
Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window. Wait.
Application will quit.

HT4097 when i turned on my ipad it has the itunes logo on it. It says it is in recovery mode and that i have to restore it. I dont want to lose my photos I have stored on it. I tried the suggestions from above but nothing works. What can I do

When I turned on my ipad the itunes logo is on it. I cant get to my home screen. I plugged it to my computer and went to the itunes and it states that the ipad is in recovery mode and that I have to do a restore. I have some important photos on it that I dont want to lose. Is there a way I can restore it without losing the photos. I tried the suggestions on this site but it dont work. My last resort is to restore it if I have to. Also, when Im on the itunes site it does say that i can update on March 15th Can anyone help? Thanks

Then you can select that backup to restore from if you want. If it is an old backup - then you will be restoring the iPad to the condition that it was on that date. You mentioned March 15 in your first post. If your only backup is from last year, then you will lose all of the photos that you have taken since then.
When you post back, include details ...not just a one sentence statement. Its difficult to ascertain exactly what you are experiencing without specific details.

I plugged my iPhone for the first time to my computer,the iTunes screen came up and asked if I wanted to register the phone as a new phone or with the backup from my iPod. By accident, I clicked on the backup from my iPod, and I lost everything.

Hi,
I plugged my iPhone for the first time to my computer. The iTunes screen automatically came up and asked if I wanted to register/set-up my iPhone as new phone or using the backup from my iPod. Without knowing what was going to happen, I clicked on the backup from my iPod and then I lost everything I already had in my phone: mostly contacts and pictures. Although afraid of the answer, is there a solution to retrieving the info, especially the pictures?
Thank you!

by any chance did you do a back up to iCloud? if not there isn't a way to retrieve lost info with out a back up.

My iPhone 4s screen is cracked and can't slide to unlock it. Several of the icons are not working as well. Is there a way to recover my photos if the phone has never had a back up or synced with another device?

My iPhone 4s screen is cracked (due to being dropped) and I can't slide to unlock it. Several of the the icons on screen will not work either. Is there a way to recover my photos if the phone has never had a back up and never been synced with another device?

No in order to backup to iTunes, you would need to unlock your phone.
In order to import pics to your computer you would need to unlock your phone.

Can't seem to sync my phone with iCal because I get a message that says:No writable calendar. I tried the suggestions I found in Help including a Terminal command to no avail.

I can only suggest you now need to somehow link your mobile to sync with the new calendar 'On my Mac'.
I have a work Blackberry whose calendar I sync with an iCal calendar 'On my Mac' using a usb lead and the Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac. This free piece of software from Blackberry, automatically starts up as soon as I connect the usb to the iMac and it then prompts me to select which calendar 'On the iMac', which is writable, that I want my Blackberry to sync to.

Hey grandkids7k,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides troubleshooting information if you have forgotten your passcode:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Can an apple store unlock my phone

My son forgot his password and has disabled his phone. The only computer we have that has iTunes on it is with my daughter at college. Can an apple store unlock his phone?

Yep.
You need iTunes 11.1 or higher. Then follow the directions here to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If you want, you can also use this computer to login to iCloud.com, locate the phone, then erase it. This will also remove the passcode.

I don't see any unlocked phone on the web site.
If you're outside the USA you can't buy one where without coming here and getting it. Even then it is not a good idea because the warranty is only good in the USA.

What do you mean? Your only way to unlock that phone is to have had 40 days continuous service with T-Mobile and then process the unlock through them. If you had an account with T-Mobile you should be able to login and process your unlock. If you did not you can click on the chat program but they are going to tell you the same thing.

Syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist. Sync menu doesn't show all playlists. Help

syncing iphone and can't seem to transfer audiobooks that i have put in a playlist. Sync menu doesn't show all playlists. Help

I have the same problem with podcast playlists. When I go to the music window in my iPhone devices section, the playlists I have created on my macbook pro in iTunes do not appear as an option to sync with the iPhone. I know some web radios streams, like the BBC, won't transfer because of compatibility issues, but the playlists of podcasts that I have created consist entirely of podcasts downloaded from the podcasts section on the iTunes Music Store. They used to show up and sync properly before I upgraded to OS 5.1.1, but now they don't.
Does anyone have a fix and am I right in surmising that the cause is a glitch in OS 5.1.1?

Do you have both the OS X and iOS versions of each of them?

Try doing it on your computer with iTunes and then sync to your iPad to see if it clears the problem.
