I have an iphone 5 from austrailia running on iOS 7. should i update it or not?
i am using an iphone 5 from austrailia and i'm currently living in india. I'm not sure if its unlocked legally or not. Should i update my phone from iOS 7 to 8.2? If not what problems can i face while updating it?
Has the phone been officially unlocked by the carrier? Check this article:
iPhone: About unlocking
If yes and your SIM is not recognized, see this article for more information.

I purchased IPAD MINI for my daughter. To properly register the new MINI, it says to update ITUNES. However, in order to update ITUNES, I need to update my software to 10.6.8.
Can I do so over the net or do I have to purchase and wait?You can purchase OS X 10.6 from the online Apple store by calling them, which in the US is at 800-MY-APPLE or you can buy it online here. After you receive it, install it, run Software Update until there are no more updates, at which point you'll be at OS X 10.6.8 and can install iTunes 10.7. Note your system needs a minimum of 1GB of memory to run OS X 10.6.8.

I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?
If officially unlocked, you can purchase a sim from one of the two nationwide GSM carriers, AT&T or T-Mobile. However, AFAIK, none of the carriers in India offer unlocking for the iPhone. Thus, if your phone is carrier locked, the only way it will work in the US is roaming...that would cost a fortune.
So, if you have a carrier locked iPhone, leave it home or sell it before you come to the US, then purchase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, when you get to the US. You'll be able to use that phone in India when you go back. -
hi everyone i have an iphone 3gs it was running on 4.0.1 and i updated to 6.0.1. then its said i needed to restore my phone to factory settings and i did but now it says; "your phone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate it or try again in a couple of minutes"...if this problem persists contact apple support at apple.com/support.
I've tried all that i can and still no results. Could anyone shed some light on the subject if so it would be greatly appriciated!Ok thank you so much! Although I ended up taking the sim card out of my new Iphone and reinserting it into my old one it finally let me restore it! So thanks once again this really helped!

hello..i have purchaes iphone 5 from u.s it's a factory unlocked iphone 5 ..on may14th..it has warranty till may14th of 2014..and i came idia on july and after using the phone for 1moh in india ,when i'm trying to restore it doesn't shows apple iphone menu..it displays the screen image of connect usb cable to restore itunes .and i tried times and it shows the error (-1)..when i have contacted apple the said bring the phone to us we will replace it with new one....now i can't go to u.s so please kindly help me..as soon as possible...please
EDIT 2: It cannot be restored via iTunes 'cause I get a screen message saying that there's no SIM card in the iPhone I'm attempting to activate. The friend who sold me the phone showed me a method for restoring it on the phone itself, without having to send the command through iTunes (connect the phone to computer, turn it off, hold both Home and Power buttons until the Apple logo disappears, release the Power button without releasing Home button, iTunes shows a message about an iPhone in restoring mode, restore, etc.). Thing is, I tried this two or three times on the iPhone 5 but the device still doesn't recognize the stupid SIM…

I have purchased iPhone 4 from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia when i was on business tour. Now i am in India and using Airtel SIM. but Facetime is not working with any carrier in India.
How can i enable the facetime with Airtel or Aircel or Vodafone India carrier????
Second thing.... When i take snap in Night then flash works but pic does not come clear....
Please assist me....
Thanks a lotSorry, but you purchased an iPhone from a country that has requested FaceTime be removed from all iPhones sold in that country. Apple has no choice but to comply with these government requests, hence FaceTime has been removed from your phone and there is no way to activate it, regardless of where the the phone is used. If you want FaceTime, you need to sell your phone & purchase an iPhone in India.

I have an iPhone 4 from another country but I want to connect it here in the USA what can I do
I have an iPhone 4 from another country but I want to connect it here in the USA what can I do
I wanted to do this only to find out i got screwed out of my money. There was litterally NOTHING i could do. I paid almost $300 for an expensive paperweight that i couldn't get service for anyway but in the country i bought it in.
I called Apple they said call the carrier i got the phone with. Called them they couldn't do anything. -
I have purchased Iphone 4 from US and its not having sim in it and rt now when i have updated this to io5 ,it is showing "sim card inserted in iphone is not supported" and i am not able access aything."
Earlier i was able to use all application in this using IOS 5.0.1.
I have format it and after that i am not able to use it.
How to restore my itunes to 5.0.1???Well, welcome to the world of "hacked" phones. If your purchase was from the US, you obviously purchased an iPhone that is locked to a US carrier. The iPhone must have been jailbroken and unlocked via software to accommodate your foreign SIM card. Now that you have updated the phone, it is locked back to the US carrier. Only the carrier can authorize Apple to unlock the iPhone and none of the US carriers will unlock the iPhones. Best suggestion is to sell the phone and obtain a factory unlocked version directly from the Apple store.
To answer your other question, there is not a supported method to downgrade iOS. -
I have purchased iphone 5s from us and brought to India. So can I use warranty in India?
I have purchased iphone 5s from us and brought to India. So can I use warranty in India? Or warranty can be transferred for us to India ?
No. The warranty is only for the country that the device was purchased in. So for example, if you need service for your phone, you would need to have someone in the US submit the device (from a US mailing address). Or, someone to take the phone into an Apple Store for you.

The only way for the iPhone to be unlocked is for Softbank to unlock it .

i have an iphone 4s from the uk and am now in australia...
i have given the imei number to my old carrier in the uk to have the phone unlock 4 weeks later its still not unlocked.
i keep getting the sim card error in itunes help me pleaseJason_247 wrote:
evan tried jailbreak as a last option because i was getting fed up waiting for the imei unlock
Well, doing that "could" be your problem, as it will error out & prevent the official unlock from being processed.
At any rate, good luck. -
