I purchase Iphone 4 from my friend with IMEI 01 242700 090512 6 Model
I wanted to know about my Iphone, which I bought from my friend! Is it a stolen or a scam phone that is why it has been locked? If yes then let me know what is to be done in this case is their any chance to unlock it cause here in India we don't have AT&T as the service provider and I am using vodafone as my service provider.
Note: I have purchase this phone from Atharva Bhatt and his address is as below:
Address: A2, Satlaj Society, Keshav Nagar, Subhash Bridge, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.
AT&T phones are always locked by AT&T, stolen or not. They cannot be legitimately unlocked and can only be used in the US on AT&T's network. And in case you didn't know, you are not talking to anyone from Apple here. We are all just users like you.

Help Please,
I purchased an iphone 4 from a friend, i somehow cleared it and it's now at the original activation screen, i have spoken to the carrier and they have unlocked it for me. Once the carrier unlock details get sent to apple, will i be able to use any carrier sim card to activate the iphone? currently when i connect to itunes it says the sim is not the original one and i need to insert the original sim... will this happen now that it has been carrier unlocked? i have been told the unlocking can take between 5 and 72 hours, do i just keep trying with itunes or do i have to do something different?
This is a christmas present for my son and i am running out of time, i'm not in an area that i can just go into an apple store and ask, i'm currently overseas in a very poor country and there are not many iphones that i have seen here so your help would really be appreciated.
i think the operating system is 6.0.1
Thanks,

And have you waited that long? If not, then that's why it's not done yet. -
I was given an iPhone 4 from a friend and I was trying to reset it to factory settings but it won't let me. It's keeps popping up with a box to put in my friends iCloud account password in but I don't know it. How can i delete their iCloud account without knowing their password?
You cannot delete the iCloud account that is signed on to Find My iPhone unless you know the password. This is called the Activation Lock:
ACTIVATION LOCK
It is an anti-theft security measure that is a part of iOS 7. You can only get around this by following the steps in this support article:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
Contact your friend. This is the only way around the lock.
Best of luck,

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 purchased iphone 5c from ebay india . after 35 days i updated software n from that day phone battry is not workin well , getting dry in 4 hrs . i m reaaly ****** with phone performace , please help or suggest
Ebay is not an official reseller. Return it if you can for a refund.
Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved. -
Hi I bought an iPhone 5 from a friend. but he got it as a warranty replacement from Apple so he has no paperwork with the serial/IMEI. I need that kind of paperwork to be able to use my phone at work. what do I do to get it?
That information, and more, can be found in the About page of the settings. Tap Settings > General > About and you'll see a lot of information about the device.

It is not possible to unlock a US iPhone. NO carriers in the US allow unlocking. Sell the phone and purchase one in your country.

I received old iphone 4 from a friend, unable to sync
I received an old iphone 4 from a friend, had it activated and the phone is working.
When I plug it into my laptop to sync ( I have an ipad before this iphone 4 and had purchased a few apps and songs), the message is preparing to synd and then waiting for changes to be applied and that is it, nothing happens.
I have changed the apple id on the phone to mine, shutdown and restart the iphone 4 but still not working.
Help, please.I'm sorry, but this post is the first that you said that actually identified the problem. You did not mention music at all in any of the posts, just that you did not want to sync contacts and calendar. Now we have something to work with in trying to help. If you are using a PC, I recommend that you go into iTunes and reset the sync history.
And by the way, at no time did I try to make you sound like an idiot. I asked you what you wanted to sync when you said you did not want to sync contacts and calendar and you didn't even answer that until someone else asked you the question. We are users like you who volunteer our time trying to help others, however, you have to try and be a little more detailed in your request. -
I have an Iphone 4 from a friend. It was never updated with him and now I am trying update to latest software version. It is currently in 4.3.2 and it updates till the last few seconds and then a message, with no error number, states that the internet connection had time out during update. I am using my PC and have tried unsuccessfully for a week. I have tried to restore setting on phone first before plugging in to PC and updating software through Itunes? I took it to my mobile phone outlet and they couldn't help? Is there another way?

I have received an email from a friend with a link which I clicked. It took me to the google home page. I am now suspicious that my friend's email account has been hijacked and the link contained a virus or a Trojan horse. I would know what to do on my PC but am new to the IPad. Can any form of Trojan horse be planted on IOS 6 or am I worrying unnecessarily? Reassurance would be most welcome as I do use the IPad for checking bank details and web purchases. Thanks for any help.
PC virus won't run on iPad.

I purchased mountain lion from a friend account
i purchased mountain lion from a friend account. I will still be able to receive updates and if not,what should i do?

You will still be able to recieve updates I would think, but if you need to reinstall you may well have to use your friends Apple ID to sign in again. Hopefully your friend isn't using the same copy of Mountain Lion as well, or therein starts the complications, as you should have a copy each. A ML download can be used on as many computers as YOU own, but you cannot share it around with others.

Hello, well i just purchase iphone 4 from pakistan.. I want to update my ios but that didnt work. I just saw the status of my phone.. So iphone was lock.. I need lil help . Thanks
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. You will have to contact them. Since you are not the original purchaser of the phone and do not have service with whatever carrier it might be locked to, it is highly unlikely you will get it unlocked.
Since it was hacked to unlock it originally, it is highly likely that the phone will become a brick if you attempt to apply a legitimate unlock.
Actually, it is probably already a brick.
There is nothing we can suggest other than to google "iphone dfu mode" and try doing a restore in DFU mode to see if that can bring it back to life. It may. If so, you will then need to work with the carrier it's locked to or sell it and buy a new phone. -
i had purchased iphone 6 from the online store and i had peid the full amount by using my cc , i had noticed now that the order get cancelled as its out of quantity , could you please assist me to refund my money back to my cc !!
I am going through the same process! It is a nightmare doing anything with adobe. They make it as difficult as possible to get a refund and keep asking me if i want anothe program instead of a refund. They are making me jump through all kinds of hoops to get the refund and refuse to call me. They have ZERO customer service and the only reason they stay in business is because they have no real competitors. It's a shame, but I suggest you reprot them to the Better Business Bureau. I did.
