I have been given an i phone 3 that was on O2. Had it unlocked and placed my vodaphone sim in. I live in Spain so on getting back here tried to connect it to my computer,updating I tunes like stated in guide. A message comes up now with no sim, no connect

I was given an I phone by my son in law, he was on O2. I had the phone unblocked and placed my vodaphone Spanish sim card into it. All worked well until I connected it to my computer in Spain. in the instructions they advices to update my I tunes which I did. A message came up on the computer sayin no sim and my phone became locked again. I now have a useless phone as cannot get a screen. I don't know what the serial number is as can't access details from the phone and have not got the box. Can anyone help. I paid £25 in the u.k last week to have it unlocked.

Chances are you got ripped off. If you didn't have it unlocked by O2, you had it "hacked". Updating it has re-locked it. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can unlock it. If you're not physically in the UK, your chances of getting it unlocked are near nil from what others here have stated.

I have been given an Apple 3G which is in jailbreak. After restoring and updating my phone will not accept any updates or restoration. Unknown error 1015. Please help!

I have been given an Apple 3G which is in jailbreak. After restoring and updating my phone to get rid of jailbreak the iphone will not accept any updates or restoration. Unknown error 1015. Please help! I am new to all this and want to start using the phone legitimately.

I believe from the situation you describe your iPhone 3g has the iPAD baseband 6.15.00 which is interfering with iTunes. Remember Apple does not allow downgrade of software typically. The current 3g firmware 4.2.1 has a baseband 5.15.04 which is lower than, what I believe your baseband is of 6.15.00. So to install the current 3g firmware 4.2.1 would actually be a baseband downgrade, which iTunes will not allow. So to fix your iPhone you will have to search the Web like diesel vdub said. There are no parts to buy and your iPhone will work again I promise.

HT201209 We have a gift card for iTunes that was purchased in the United States and we live in Canada and iTunes won't allow us to redeem it. Is there any way we can exchange it?

Sorry, but as KP guessed, Apple will not exchange the card, and you are correct that you can't use a US iTunes card in Canada. You will need to give or sell it to someone in the US.

HT4528 I keep recieiveing an error message that reads "Cannot connect to iTunes store" on my iphone.......how can I fix this. I updated an app on my phone that was on my daughters itune account and it worked fine. Its only when I update my apps on my acco

I can update apps that are on my phone though my daughters iTunes account but I cannot update my apps with my account. Please advise!

If it isn't working on multiple networks and a restart didn't help, the next step would be to restore the iPhone. You may even have to try restoring it as a new device.
If you don't want to restore the iPhone, you can try to avoid the problem by updating the apps in iTunes and then syncing them to the iPhone. Who knows, maybe the problem will go away after syncing one or two of the updated apps.

I notice when I plug in my phone to my computer and look at what's "On this iPhone" it says that I have a book on there (one that was a free download from something), but I don't have iBooks installed on my phone. How do I remove the book?

Hi tinashah817,
Was this book downloaded using iBooks, or from another application? If it was from iBooks you will need to install that application to delete it.
See this article about managing your iBooks library on your iPhone -
iBooks: Tips for managing your iBooks library and storage on iOS devices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5544
Once the book has been deleted from the iPhone you can uninstall the iBooks application if you so desire.

HT201328 I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first or set one up for her and then unlock the phone.

I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.

I would complete unlocking as is and then
restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
will likely take weeks
This may also help

Gary116 please remove and reinstall Lightroom by following the steps listed in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed. The version of Photoshop Lightroom available through the Creative Cloud Desktop application supports your Creative Cloud Membership.

Then you should talk to that person. Apple won't help you if the iOS was downloaded illegally, and since this is their community, due to Terms of Use, no one here will help you either.

I've had my new iPhone 6 Plus for about a month now and I'm just now syncing it with my computer to put music on it and it has been on Step 5 of 5 for hours now. I have reinstalled iTunes to see if that was the problem with no luck.

i have been given an apple mac powere pc g5 , can i update it and use it normally also when it asks to update it asks for a password which i dont have , can this be reset ?

Updating or upgrading depends on what version of OS X you are running. A G5 Mac can not go further than Leopard 10.5.8 as all later versions of OS X require an Intel preocessor.
