i got an iphone 4 from one of my freind from uk he gifted me.when insert sim its showing no service available,i don no whether it is locked or not?but i can see the applications only thing is that the network is not showing.please suggest ?

According to Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937) all UK carriers sell their iPhones locked, even though they also all offer unlocking.  So, as mentioned, contact your friend and ask them did they get it unlocked?  If not, which carrier did they get it from so you can contact that carrier and request an unlock.

    P.S: For the iphone 4S. is there any difference for the one from online shop or the actual store?

    iPhones purchased from the online Apple Store in Australia will be unlocked. To the best of my knowledge, unlocked iPhone are not available from the physical Apple Stores at this time, though you can call the Apple Store in Melbourne and inquire.
    Note that the warranty on iPhones is not international, so if you purchase an iPhone in Australia and it needs service, you would have to ship the iPhone to someone in Australia to take or send to Apple for service and then ship it back to you.
    Regards.

  • My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?

    My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?
    The problem is she can't update to new software until she connect to iTunes, but she don't want to loose all that info.
    My question is:
    If she register her apple ID on that new computer, and sync the phone, will she loose everything? or iTunes will back up first (because apple id match) and then sync.
    Otherwise, how can I do it? The closest apple store is 3 hours away. thanks!

    Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise her phone will be wiped during the following sync.
    If she has data on the phone she wants to save, back up manually:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to her new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • I just got an iphone 5c and downloaded ringtone maker and made a 30 second 4r ringtone and when I try to drag and drop in the tones folder of itunes nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    I just got an iphone 5c and downloaded ringtone maker and made a 30 second 4r ringtone and when I try to drag and drop it in the tones folder of itunes nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    If the file is a correctly formatted AAC file with the .m4r file extension and less than 40 seconds long, then iTunes should put it into the Tones section of the library and move it into the Tones folder inside your media folder.
    I've just checked the current version of iTunes behaves as I've desribed, which it does for me at least.
    You may need to have some tones in your library for the tones tab to display when the device is connected.

    It's a security risk to post your IMEI number and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
    If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
    If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you.
    You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.

  • From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

    From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

    Hi,
    Use NVL or COALESCE:
    NVL (col_a, col_b)
    Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
    Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
    For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

  • So I just got my iphone, and i was trying to get it to download songs on my phone, when the phone suddenly died, and even though im charging it right now, it still won't turn on, been going on about 30 min to an hour now

    So i just bought my Iphone, and i was trying to put songs on it from Itunes, when it suddenly turned off, and even though i have been charging it for the last hour, can not get it to even work, any suggestions?

    Try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • So I just got my iPhone 5s and there appears to be a dead pixel on the top of the screen. Is there anything that could be done?

    I was curious If anything could be done about a dead pixel on the top of my iPhone 5s screen? And I bought the phone directly from ATT if that makes a difference.

    Take the iPhone back to ATT and show them the dead pixel on the display and get the iPhone replaced.

  • When I delete a podcast from one of my devices it deletes that podcast and all of its episodes from my iPhone 5/iPhone 4 (used as an iPod) and from my MacBook automatically. Is there a way to delete a podcast from one device?

    I would like to delete a podcast and its episodes from one device without it being deleted simultaneously from all of my devices. I have been having problems with podcasts for months.
    Another problem with podcasts I'm having is once I sync some of the podcasts from my computer to my iPhone 5, they are not present on my iPhone. I can find them in spotlight on the iPhone 5 but when I click on them to play them it opens up the podcasts app but then does nothing. When I have iTunes open even iTunes show that they are present "On this Phone" but I have no way to play them. I took my devices to the geinus bar and the support technician was baffled.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • How do i fix my printer when it won't show the print preview for web pages? it worked and now not.

    how do i fix my printer when it won't show the print preview for web pages?  it worked for a while and now it doesn't.  printer is an hp officejet 7310 all-in-one.

    I would suspect this is a hardware issue.  The rollers are probably having issues picking up the relatively smooth thick media.  You might have better results be cleaning the paper pickup rollers with a damp paper towel.  Also make sure the paper is snugly loaded and the paper guides have been correctly positioned.

  • TS3989 I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my macbook pro and I just got 2 iPhones for my family and only one streams photos to iCloud photo stream.  Both iPhones have the same Apple ID and have Photo Stream turned on.  Shouldn't both iPhones stream ph

    I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and on 2 new iPhones that have the same AppleID as the MacBook Pro.  However only one iPhone will stream photos to iPhoto on the MacBook Pro.  All these devices were purchased in the last 2 weeks.  What setting is wrong?

    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • I just got the iPhone 5s and I'm trying to restore the data from my backup.

    I just plugged in my iphone to my laptop and my old iCloud account (which I don't use anymore) is the one that backed up my new phone instead of my new one. Now my problem is that I can't get access on my current iCloud account because my old iCloud account requires a password which i don't remember anymore. (NOTE: I changed my iCloud and apple acount because my old email got hacked). Question is, How do I access my current account and use it as my active iCloud account?

    You could simply reset your password of your account here: https://appleid.apple.com
