I have a non contract iphone4 bought from Apple U.S. store and need to travel to India - how can I use this in India? Can apple unlock it for me so I can put in my own SIM there?

I have a non contract iphone4 that I bought from an Apple Store in the U.S. and now am travelling to India - can apple factory unlock it so I can use it in India with a local SIM card?
Please advise.

WE are not all computer geeks,  And the phone companies are trying to run a monopoly. 
I think forums like this are great places to inform people who need it.
I have heard horror stories from my family of $85/month iPhone contracts and locked phone.
Let help all of us and discuss how to get unlocked phones and cheaper contracts.
Ok so you say factory unlocked phones are possible in Us. Is that through Apple only?
At&T and verizon dont unlock?  Is they any consumer advocacy legislation that would force them?  In Uk when they opened to 4 companies  (now 6 here) they forced companies to unlock.

    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

    You can only use Component to Scart converters if the scart on the telly is RGB enabled (unlikely on the Venturer). If youonly want to use the ATV as a way of moving music about & are not bothered about nice graphics etc, you can try connecting the ATV green component out plug to any composite video input (the yellow one). This should give black & white playback on your TV. If you have no composite video input, I had no problems using a composite plus audio to scart adapter (yellow red white, connect the green of a component cable to the yellow & you should get black & white)

  • The home buttun on my iPod touch 5 generation stopped working , i just bought from de U.S. Store and I'm from Mexico, and i have to use the warranty

    Help

    Try calibrating it first.  Go to a stock Apple application (ex. Stocks), hold down the power button until "Slide to shut down" shows up, then hold down the home button until it all disappears.  You can use Assitive Touch in the Settings menu if nothing else works.

  • HT4993 My app store says i have six updates, but won't load/show them when i open the app store and go to the updates. How do i fix this?

    For about two weeks i've been trying to get my updates, but nothing works. I've power cycled my phone. Reset my data connection. Closed out apps. And nothing seems to work. If anyone has any tips on how i can get my updates to open so i can download them, it would be hugely appreciated.

    Software troubleshooting in order...
    Restart: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Power Off slider appears. Power off then power back on.
    If no change...
    Reset: Press the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for ten seconds until the Apple logo appears. Note: No data will be lost
    If no change...
    Restore: First from backup... If no change as New > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
    can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
    offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
    a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
    activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
    If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
    may offer a solution.

  • I am from argentina and i want to buy an iPhone 5s, but in my country i can only use it if the phone is unlocked , i want to know if i buy one of t mobile with no contract and i travel to mi country ( internationaly) i can use it with a sim from argentina

    You should go onto the Tmobile web site and look around. Very soon a pop up window will ask you if you want to chat. You can try asking for someone who knows Spanish (if you prefer), they might have someone available who can chat with you in Spanish.
    I give this suggestion because I remember on the Tmobile website, you can order on line, but they let you choose to pay only a little money up front, then pay off the rest over 24 months, or you can choose to pay for it in full. However, their ordering process does not say whether the paid for in full phone is going to be unlocked or not.
    It may not be, You may have to make a request and say that since you have paid in full please unlock. I am not so sure that a paid for in full phone is automatically sold in unlocked state.
    This is why I suggest you talk to Tmobile to get a definite answer.
    Unless someone else on this forum knows for sure? Hope someone else jumps in to answer. But the best way is to ask for yourself directly from Tmobile.

  • I have a maginon film scanner bought from ALDI. It works with windows but with OSX Maverick software it keeps crashing as soon as I try and capture an image. I cannot find details of software updates anywhere.

    Same question answered here : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5762314?tstart=0
    I just popped in with using Mavericks (I got rid of my MBP about a year ago, and just got another one when I got an Air for my wife) and noticed that Mavericks is not working and playing well with a couple of programs I already owned (Paraellels, for example...yes, I spelled it wrong...).  I looked for maginon.com and it didn't exist, nor was my google search directed to another location for them, so I postulate that the device may not be in production anymore, thus: no driver updates from the manufacturer.
    From my mac-noob-layman's perspective: get some vmware, run windows and use the scanner in your virt machine to capture your images.  Put the images in your mac side and work your mac magic on them there.
    Peace
