I have bought an iphone from a friend and want to unlock it from vodaphone do I need to contact apple or just vodaphone?
I have bought an iPhone 3GS from a friend and it is locked in to Vodaphone, I need to unlock it as I live in Spain and my friend is in the UK. Do I need to contact Apple with the IMEI number to have the phone registered to me or do I just contact Vodaphone? I need to do this asap so please help?
Only Vodaphone can authorize the unlocking of this phone. Apple can't/won't help you.
However, Vodaphone, like most carriers, will only authorize unlocking for customers, obviously not you. You need to get your friend to request that Vodaphone authorize the unlocking of this phone.

You need Snow Leopard before you can go to Lion...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements...

I Bought an iPhone 5 from a friend and want to keep his music. If i sync it to my Mac i will lose it. Any way i can keep the music?
Your friend does get to keep. .Purchases are locked forever to the Apple id used to purchase them
They just download again using the same Apple id -
I have bought a iphone 5 second hand and i restore it and now i need the icloud original user and i don't know it!what can i do?i can not activate my iphone
If you're able to contact the previous owner, send them this link and tell them to follow the instructions.
If not, you can't activate the device but may be able to get it refunded.
Apple won't remove the lock for anyone other than the original owner(assuming they're alive.)

I have bought an iPhone 4S in Brazil and I would like to know if I can replace my old iPhone for a new one (iPhone 5S), at some Apple Store in USA, if I pay just the difference between both values.
You're welcome.
I would advise against that for the reasons I provided.
Could I have my iPad 2 for the new one paying the difference between their values?
No. Sell the existing yourself and use the proceeds to purchase a new iPad. -

Hello, I purchased design premium 4.0 German Windows (LIZ 390232 from 22.02.2010) from my friend and wanted to installation it. However, the key code does not work. He has the PC is no longer, so he can not disable the product key. He loaded it, but only in Englisch (trial version?) Please help me for the next step. I have the license agreement in my hand.

Did your friend fill out and send in the license transfer form?

HT5163 Bought an iPhone 4S of a friend and want to unlock it for another network
I bought an iPhone of my friend when his 2year contract came to an end. It was on orange network ... And I want it on virgin .... How do I get it opened to virgin... Please please please help... I got this for my wife's birthday ...
Your friend needs to contact Orange and request the iPhone be unlocked. If Orange does so and agrees to do so, Orange will send Apple an unlock request for the iPhone. When the unlock is ready, Orange will send your friend an email notifying that the unlock is ready. The actual unlocking will be done with iTunes.

The phone is not stolen but it does not work out side of the house
if it doesnt match that means your iPhone is not provisioned for the carrier you are trying to use. Your iPhone would need to be unlocked in order to use on other carriers. You will need to contact your carrier to see if this iPhone is unlocked py providing them the IMEI. If the iPhone is not unlocked you will need to contact the carrier that the iPhone is locked to to see if they will unlock the device to use on another carrier.

on appstore i dont need to write in password and i have tried to do anything and it dont work and i get ****** of because i updated my favourite game and i cant play it.... i want to throw my iphone to the ground :/
It sounds like to me you're trying to sync using the computer.
Try these things and see if it helps before you try your next syncing session. If none of the things below work then you might consider trying to sync using iCloud only.
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

I have no idea if anyone will read this request, as I am now just pressing buttons, very few of which apply to my query, but have to be completed in order to get the posting processed. Apple is continuing to be rubbish, as I understand very little of what it tells me. My original query is very simple.
If using iTunes 11... See this Discussion...

HT204161 I bought an iphone 4s off ebay and cant unlock it
I bought an iphone 4s off ebay, and i cant unlock it because the previous owner got it second hand and that owner doesnt know the password. i have no way to contact that owner. I dont know how i am supposed to use the device because i cant get pass that. i didnt even know that it had this problem until i recieved it. What am i supposed to do?
Get a refund immediately.
You have probably been sold a previously stolen iPhone. It is Activation Locked as described here:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
Without the original owner's Apple ID and password being used to unlock it, the iPhone will remain forever useless to you.
