I have an older iPhone originally purchased in USA. I am now in Europe and changed my service provider to a local company (that supports iPhone). I am told that if I try to update my phone will be frozen. Is this true?
I have an older iPHone Type MB384LL probably type 1 or 2 16GB version. It was originally used in USA with an AT&T account. I am now in Bulgaria and using a Bulgarian simcard from a local company - MTel. I am told that if I update the software via iTunes the phone will be disabled as it is not using the original AT&T card (original account closed). Is this true? I know that originally all iPhones were tied to a particular service provide, but there has to be a mechanism for dealing with relocating etc.
Your phone has been hacked to make it work where you now live. Thus, updating software or restoring your phone will re-lock it to AT&T. Since AT&T will not unlock an iPhone for anyone for any reason, there is no way to get your phone officially unlocked. If you update software or restore the phone, you will have to hack it again. This will also require the last AT&T sim card that was used in the phone.

I have 8 apps that, when I tried to update, are now stuck on "installing" in the box that says update. every time I try to update another app, it gets frozen like this as well. I was able to quit all apps, but these, as they do not respond. Any ideas?
Reset your iPad by holding the home and on/off buttons together for 6 or 7 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then update your apps one at a time. Do not start the next app until the current one downloads and finishes installing.

Can I buy an iPhone 6 in the usa to use in the uk with a uk service provider
Can I buy an iPhone 6 64gb in the usa to use in the uk with a uk sim and uk service provider
You need to be aware that it may or may not work in the UK.
If the phone does work in the UK, then you will not get any 4G coverage because the phones are not compatible.
Also be aware that you have no warranty cover for your phone in the UK - iPhone warranty is NOT international so you have to take it back to the US.
If you want an iPhone and you want to use it in the UK, then buy the phone in the UK and NOT the US. You will get 4G and also EU warranty on the phone. -

Apple does Not unlock phones. Only the Carrier it is locked to can Unlock it. Please Contact Telstra.
Note: The iPhone 3 G can only go as far as iOS 4.2.1 -
Can I download a separate version such as 3.5 and still keep my 5.o intact in a separate version? Can I even download the older version?

I just got a new iphone 5,and when I try to update my phone, and install the aps that I've already purchased onto it, it says I don't have permission to do so.
Contact your carrier & have them reset your Voicemail. Most carriers require such, so after they reset it, just set it up again.

I have Windows Vista and my iTunes is v10.5, I have and iPhone 3GS and an iPhone 4. Everytime i try to update my phone to iOS5 it stops on Backing up and freezes. What can i do? Do i need t upgrade my phones on a Mac? Please help it would be greatly appreciated.
Your expectations are not based in reality.
Your G4 will not run iCloud. There will be no upgrade from Mobile Me to iCloud for you with that machine unless you do it manually, and only mail will work without further expenditure. -
Recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.5.5 - have an older G4 which is max'd out upgrade-wise - both processor and OS. At present Safari is 3.1.2. Itunes is 9.2.1. Itunes will not allow me to connect to store - says it requires Safari 4.0.3 - however, when I try to download Safari 4.0.3 or newer it says it requires an older version of the OS. What to do?
Update v10.5.5 to v10.5.8
Download and install the combo > Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update
Then restart your Mac.
That should update Safari for you to 5.0.6 and that should help with iTunes.
If necessary, after updating to v10.5.8, you can use the standalone Safari installer here > Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard -
When I try to update my phone to ios 7 it says i need to update my itunes to 11.0.5, when i check my current version in help menu under check for updates it says I have the current 11.0.5 version. Even the downloader for the update doesnt show that i need to update.Help plzz????
There is some kind of error. The new version of iTunes is 11.1, which although is not available via updates, it can be downloaded from the Apple website here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
After updating iTunes to the newest version you should be able to update your iOS
EDIT: I just did that and it works -
i have the version of itunes the ios 7 update requires but every time i try to update my phone it says i need the itunes version 11.0.5 but i already have it?
You need iTunes 11.1 which is not available for download in google chrome or other browsers. The only browser it has worked for with me is Safari. Hope this helps!

im using iphone 3GS with ios 4.1;the iphone is purchased from USA and unlocked;I live in India so if I update to IOS 5 will my phone get locked? if so how to unlock in that case? please help
No 3GS sold in the US was ever unlocked officially. Any attempts to update a hacked or un-officially unlocked iPhone will likely result in it being relocked to the original carrier.

When I try to update my phone it says the latest software is 4.2.1
I want to update to the iOS5 software version, but when I try to update my phone on itunes it says my version is the latest version available. I tried restoring my phone and I have itunes version 10.5. Any suggestions?
It sounds like you may have a3G model as opposed to a 3GS. Check the model number on the back. A1241 is a 3G unit.
