Unless the iPhone was purchased as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.
Regards.

HT201269 I made an update to my iPad and after the update it went to recovery mode. It wiped all of my apps off and now I can't add apps

I made an update to my iPad and after the update it went to recovery mode. It wiped all of my apps off and now I can't add apps

When I try to add apps it doesn't do anything. I have connected to the computer to iTunes and it isn't syncing any of my apps to the iPad. I am not sure what else to try? I have turned the iPad off and restarted and nothing changed. I tried to download something from iTunes on the iPad and it isn't letting me.

After I close Firefox, it will not open again unless I restart my computer.

When I close Firefox normally, I cannot open it again unless I restart my computer. Why?

Yes, that is a strong indication that Firefox didn't close completely.
You can check that in the Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del).<br />
If you see Firefox and plugin-container processes then you can close (kill) those processes and you should be able to start Firefox after having done that.
There are other things that need your attention.
Your system details list shows that you still have a very old Flash 9.0 r45 plugin installed that you should remove.
*Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700
*Shockwave Flash 9.0 r45
This plugin might be installed in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder.
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
You can set the <b>plugin.expose_full_path</b> pref to true on the about:config page to see the full path of enabled installed plugins on the about:plugins page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:plugins
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
You can open about:xxxx pages via the location bar like you open a website.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers via the navigator.plugins object, so reset that pref to its default value false after you are done with the about:plugins page and have located the old Flash plugin.

When I exit Firefox and later load Firefox it says its open, although I can't use, have to go to Windows Task Manager and force it to close before I can load it again.

Problem is on a Dell Studio XPS desktop with the i7 processor. Current version used is 3.6.13, although the problem occurred with previous version, and only occurs intermittently. Does not seem to be time related. Sometimes, though not always, there will be two copies of Firefox open in the Task Manager "processes". When I close Firefox, and reload, runs fine until the next time.

Often, when I try to access Firefox, I get a box that says it's already ru;nning, and I can't open it unless I restart my computer.

Just as above. I was running firefox earlier and exited. hours later, I try to access it again, and I get a box that says"firefox is already running. in order to open a window, you must close the program or restart your system." There is nothing on my computer to show that it is running, and I have no way to close it, so I have to restart my computer. This has happened too often now.
Hope you can come up with an answer.
Thanks

When I close Firefox (3.6.10) by using the x in upper right and then try to start it later, I get message FF is running, you must close first..which I thought I did. Cannot start without using Windows Task Manager and closing process. What is wrong?

See original question. Firefox apparently doesn't close when using the x in upper right corner as when I try to start it again I get a message that FF is already running and I must close it first. I thought the x would do that. Is something set wrong or corrupted?
Thanks

TS1398 my iphone 4s was updated to ios6 and after the update it became unable to join my office network ie(QEHNET).my names are okam francis (nigeria)abia state,umuahia.

my iphone 4s is no longer joining our esterblisment network(QEHNET) due to the update of ios6 that took place on the 7th of febuary2013,so what is the problem or is iphone nolonger the best phone again?please restore the network or give me the solution.thanks.

I phone 4s won't charge anymore only 8 wks old and after the update we just got to do

My I phone 4s is 8 weeks old. I did the os update a few days ago and today when i went to use my phone it said it was low on charge. I tried plugging it in to the computer no help. I used my wifes cord from her I phone and still no good. My wifes phone charges on both cables and she also did the os update at the same time. I called verizon an after some trouble shooting with them they passed me over to a different tech support. They told me that about 2 out of every 10 I phones get this problem and they will have to send me a new one in the mail. Wow 20 pct of the I phones have this issue. So now i'm assuming that I'm not going to be able to get my contacts or pictures out of this phone. I'm just wondering if it was caused by the os that I upgraded too but all the post i see on line are of the battery draining faster than before havn't found a post about this issue

You can call Verizon to replace it or go to an applestore to replace it since it won't even power on with multiple chargers.

Firefox seems to run much slower after the update. My computer is old. Can I go back to an older version?

Does the new firefox require a better computer than the old versions? My internet has seemed to slow down considerably after updating to firefox 7. Is the new version of firefox the problem, or is it something else wrong with my computer? If it is firefox, how do I go back to another version?

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox
The most recent Firefox version for OS X 10.2 and 10.3 is 2.0.0.20.
Mac: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-2.0.0.20&os=osx&lang=en-US

I've deleted my app store symbol and after the update it doesn't work how can i get it back?

I've made an update to 10.6.7 but there is no new app store symbol on my desktop
how do i get it back ;(

Hi macvroni,
If you can't find it in the Applications folder, just type "App Store Application" in the Spotlight box. Just click on the magnifying glass symbol, at the far right end of the menu bar, to open the Spotlight box.

I have an iPod touch, and an update was suggested for my iPod. After the update, all my pictures and videos were wiped. I need some of those pictures for a science lab due in a few days. Is ther any possible way for me to get my pictures back?

Help! I just lost all my pictures by doing an update and I NEED them for school. How do I get them back?!

- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- If they were synced to the iPod then you have to get then from where they were synced from.

I updated to ios6 with my iPhone 4 and after the update I connected to my Sweex wireless(the first connection after the update) and since then it has some kind of a problem.

The phone cannot connect to App Store , Weather , iTunes(phone) nor some other things for e.g I cannot post photos to Instagram but still can use the app just to look at others pictures except uploading mine..

restart phone
reset phone and reset router

HT1976 I recently downloaded the 6.1.2 update and after the update was installed i lost the ability to access my cellular data (safari, imessage, facetimeand similar applications won't work) and the ability to send and receive picture messages. what happe

i have already tried reseting the phone in every way possible several times as well as toggling different settings that has to do with the use of such things but nothing works. i've even called the support line for my company but they basically had me do everything i had already done over again.

Is your storage too full?
Check Settings > General > Usage and make sure your available space is absolutely no less than 10% of your device's total space.
