I have an iphone 4 contract that's up in july 2013, but my iphone is broken...can i buy a used phone and activate it?
I'm not under warranty, insurance or anything like that. The reps at the store when I bought my phone were not very clear about really anything with me and I'm just not sure if the contract is ONLY for iphones..? I was thinking of getting a Samsung or HTC and it would suck if I bought it and they wouldn't let me activate it on my contract. Sorry if this has already been answered, I've been searching and found nothing so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can add insurance sometimes open entitlement is in march. How is it broken sometimes tech can do an exception. If its a warranty things there might be a slim chance.

Looking at getting a used iPhone so I can use it in WIFI spots but I don't want to pay for data. Wondering if I can do it without it costing me anything.
there is many ways you can do this . but as Tidbits stated ,, if you were to switch from what ever phone you are using to a smart phone like the iPhone.. you will be paying for the phone service.. and additional amount because it is a smartphone.. then there is a data plan... so .. it will have all the features you are looking at using the phone to obtain the services from a wifi or hot spot.. .. than the USED iphone you are referring to MUST be one that belong to Verizon ( the last time I look you can only program a phone,,new or used that was originally theirs)... have you considered looking into getting a USB modem?? they are listed above under your acct My Verizon..SHOP... PHONE & DEVICES .... INTERNET ... .. unfortunately.. all smartphones that are activated will be programmed with all features ..at least with Verizon.. and most of the larger carriers..
hope that helps with any additional questions.. you may have.. if not ..let us know and we will make sure..all is covered for you .. -

Hello
that is able to separate an apple icloud account My IMEI *******.
I buy a Used iphone 5c ios 7.1.1 but after restore it asks me iCloud account.
I have no contact with the seller.
thank you for your reply
<Edited by Host>The iPhone has Activation Lock and will require you to have the previous owner's Apple ID and password or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:

If you can't reach the previous owner or he/she is unwilling to cooperate, then the device is unusable by you. Return the iPhone for a refund if you can.

I have had my Iphone 5s for 2 months and all the fotos and data (fotos and data were not backed up) that I had were erased after I restored it with my old Iphone 4s backup, can I get my unsaved fotos and data back? and if I can, how?
If you never backed up your phone to iTunes and never backed it up to iCloud all of your content is gone forever.

I have an iphone 4.I upgraded it to 5.0.1 and so I have lost all the data from my iPhone,but i have a backup in my computer.How do I use the backup file ? i.e How will i get that backup file in my iPhone ?
Connect phone to computer.
Select Restore.
Tell iTunes which of the available backup files to use, let iTunes restore it.
Also, try reading the User's Guide as it answers questions like this. -

Only if you walk around and look for it/ask others if they have seen it. -
We have 2 iphones, the ipad autosync'd up to the phone we did not want to use. How do we change that?
itunes accounts are not the same as icloud accounts. It's okay to use the same ID for the itunes account on different devices owned by different users. That way you share purchased items. But for icloud, each user should have their own account if they want their own data, otherwise data is shared among all users.

I have a iphone 5s, thought it was a 4g LTE phone but it keeps saying 3G almost everyday why would it say that if it is a 4G or LTE phone
Since you have unlocked GSM iPhone 5S, you will get all GSM services on any network including LTE.
Provided LTE band is supported and the Carrier is non-US.

my iPhone 4 is running ios 7.0.4. I have a slightly eccentric back story to all of this; but basically i set a secondary entry passcode on my phone and i have forgotten the secondary passcode; it appears as though i no longer have the opportunity to enter the code after too many failed attempts -- "iphone is disabled, connect to itunes." i have connected to itunes on itunes on both 11.1 and 11.3 versions (my computer says 11.1 is the minimum requirement for my phone to sync) and attempted to restore my phone; THE RESULTING MESSAGE: "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build." HOW THE HECK DO I GAIN ENTRY TO MY PHONE AGAIN AND GET SOME USE OUT OF IT. IT DID COST $$$ TO BUY. PLZ HELP!
Hey there Jachin W.,
It sounds like you are unable to connect to your home Wi-Fi suddenly on 2 different iOS devices. I would be interested to know if the affected phones are able to connect to a different Wi-Fi connection, but barring that I would use the following article to help troubleshoot the devices and the Wi-Fi connection:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
And this section from toward the bottom if needed:
Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?
Hey there rmflint,
It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?
