I purchased i phone 5 from usa and now it's not working please help me out

Due to the craze i have over i phone 5 i purchased it online through e bay, actually i need a cdma phone as its not avaliable in india i have ordered it online and i got it in june from then my problems started i am not able to use it, I contacted the seller but it's of no use, I contacted the sprint network people today and they said the phone is active and asked me to consult apple india so please help me sir doing me the favor,really out of my innocence i have purchased it.

There is no CDMA network in India - it does not exist and is only in the US which is what the Sprint and Verizon phones are. 
If you purchased a CDMA US phone, then it is very unlikley that it will ever work in India.  It definitely won't work on CDMA network as they don't exist in India - end of.
Not sure if the CDMA iPhone 5 has a sim card tray - if so, then insert an Indian sim card into it and you then should be able to use the phone with an Indian carrier.  CDMA iPhone 5's should have sim card trays that are unlocked.  If so, the phone should work in India, but other than that, you may be saddled with a phone that you can't use.
If you purchased it on e-bay, then it is buyer beware and go and file a claim with E-Bay for misselling and return the phone.
Other than that, this is a public user forum and Apple will not here you here.
You need to contact Apple directly.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Hi I have purchased my iPhone 5s from USA and now I am in India. But by mistake my phone got slipped and it's screen got broken. Even he phone is still working. My question is that can this problem be solved by Apple India and by which solution ??

    Please suggest me that if Apple India can handle this problem as I have purchased it from USA..

    Hello Kgd007,
    I am sorry to say but as per Apple Policy you will not get Support in India for any iPhone which is not purchased in India, Apple provides International warranty for all Apple products (Excluding iPhone). And if you have an iPhone which is Purchased from United States you will get support for that in all country where Apple have there direct presence and as Apple do not have there own store or service centre currently in India you will not get any support for that iPhone. And also as you said that your iPhone has physical damage which is not covered under Apple warranty but it can be replaced by paying certain amount in the country where Apple have there direct presence.
    For more Information you can call on Apple Toll Free Number : 1800 425 0744

  • Got replacement MacBook Pro from Apple and now CS2 won't work. Help!

    After a long story of woe, which is too long to get into now, Apple ended up replacing my near-dead two-year old computer with a new MacBook Pro. (Yay, Apple!) They imaged my old drive, and put it on the new computer, including the applications. I transferred over my CS2 Suite, but now I'm getting Space Monkey, and my Illustrator will start loading and then shut itself down. Since I got the original CS2, I've moved and moved and moved again, and the disks are no where to be found.
    Does anyone have any advice about how to get the CS2 Suite up and running again? Am I going to have to call Adobe and plead my case with them for a new install file?
    Help! I have so many files that I need to access.

    Your best option is to reinstall it, and if you don't have the discs you'll need to contact Adobe.
    Otherwise, since CS is not an Apple product, and your issues are not with an Apple product, you should post further questions regarding CS on Adobe's own forums at: http://www.adobeforums.com

  • Computer restarted and now iPod won't work, please help!

    I've been using my iPod shuffle since September, and there have been no problems, I updated it with the newest software and everything. Then today, I was changing the songs on it, and right in the middle of updating, my computer shut off and restarted. Now my iPod will not work, and iTunes won't restore it (it keeps saying an unknown error occurred (1415)). How can I get my iPod to start working again?

    Follow the instructions in this article if you haven't already done so.

  • I rented a movie from iTunes and now it's not working

    I rented a movie from iTunes on my iPad and it started downloading.  For some reason it stopped.  The movie is showing up in the video app but when I hit play or the download cloud it tells me I have rented the movie but have not downloaded it.  I go back to iTunes and the download section is gone.  I go back to the movie, where you can buy or rent, and it says watch....which if clicked on takes me back to videos.  And then it again tells me I have rented the movie but have not downloaded it and to go to Downloads to manage my downloads.  THERE IS NO DOWNLOAD SECTION OR OPTION IN ITUNES....IT IS GONE!!  I have closed iTunes and restarted my iPad several times and am still having the same issue.  I have rented movies in the past with no issues.  I have NO IDEA what is going on and am very very frustrated.  Hopefully someone can help.
    Thanks!!

    I would ask iTunes Store support for help with this. You may never be able to get the movie to download on your own now.
    Go here and then tap on Connecting and downloading, then tap on Movie Rentals. You can have someone contact you, you can chat online or you can get email support. I would opt for the phone call or online chat.

  • Time Capsule and iTunes set up not working, please help.

    I have moved my itunes library to my time capsule and changed my itunes preferred path to its time capsule location. However when I restart my apple laptop, after having shut it off for the night, and open itunes (time capsule is visible and accessible to the laptop), itunes has reversed the preferred path I set to point to my time capsule to my local laptop hard drive instead. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    I have looked in other discussions concerning lost itunes file paths, however I never had this issue with my wired external drive; and I only start iTunes after I am sure that my computer can access the files on my time capsule. Thank you.
    My laptop is a Macbook Pro 2.3 Ghz running Mac OS X (10.5.2)

    If you're still experiencing "disconnects," even with the earlier firmware, but not experiencing these at all when directly connecting your computer to the modem, there is a good chance that one of the following may still be the problem:
    o Bad Ethernet cable between the D-Link & TC.
    o The TC is faulty.
    o The D-Link is faulty.
    o The TC & D-Link are just not compatible with each other.
    o The ADSL signal strength, coming from your ISP into the D-Link, may need "tuning."
    I'd start with trying a known good Ethernet cable. If that doesn't resolve the problem try contacting your ISP/ADSL-Provider next to see if they can run a ADSL line diagnostic to verify that there is a good signal to the D-Link; While you have them on the line, see if they can provide you with another modem.
    Finally, if available to you, try temporarily replacing the current TC with another TC or another wireless router.

  • I've paid for a tv series but every time I try to download an episode ITunes says that Its unable to download please delete any photos and videos! I have no photos or videos and I've deleted all my apps and it's still not working please help?

    Can anyone help me please?

    You probably have other things on the iPad that are taking up a lot of space.
    What you'll want to do is connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the sidebar in iTunes.  It will show you a bar along the bottom that tells you what is taking up space.
    TV shows can fill up the space pretty quickly, but you should be good with even a 16GB iPad 2 if you can see what might be taking up the space.
    Post here what the bar says and we might be able to figure it out if it isn't something you figure out with that information.
    As an example, let's say that it says Photos is taking up 15GB, then you would go to the Photos tab and disable syncing of them altogether, or limit what it syncs.  The same would be the case for any of the other stuff that takes up space.

  • I upgraded to iOS 8 from 7 but the dictionary is not working. please help.

    the moment I upgraded to iOS 8 I cannot refer to dictionary.  no word found error is coming. this is happening. in iPad mini retina, cellullar and wifi model.

    Just want to say that my 1st gen iPad Air is having the same problem. I get word not found error when I use my dictionary. There's an option to install dictionary. Have you tried that? I'd like to add that if you successfully add a dictionary, don't be surprised if the installed dictionary is missing sometime in the future. That's what happens to my iPad and a friend's iPhone 6 Plus. Our devices keep forgetting US English dictionary that we've installed. We both run iOS 8 (mine is 8.1.2 and my friend's is iOS 8.1.3).

    Is there an "APPLE STORE" in India or you just went in a reseller store?
    There is a replacement program for sleep/wake button for free. Just look for an Apple Store and make a reservation at Genius Bar.
    I have an iPhone 5, bought in Dubai U.A.E.
    It is a US model (model A1428) which is different of the model use here in Italy/Europe
    My serial number is qualified for battery replacement program.
    I thought the Apple Store wouldn't repair my phone because I bought it from another country , a different model and it is already out of warranty.
    The Apple store's staff just checked if my iPhone's serial number is eligible for the program and he replaced the battery for free today.

  • Can I purchase the iphone 4S from USA and use it in India?

    Can I purchase the iphone 4S from USA and use it in India? And will I able to get the international Warranty?

    I heard from friends the best phone reception in India is Nokia or Sony...because the call centres for both companies have call centres in India and they said the best receptions from cellphones/networks is via Nokia or Sony.
    I fully support Apple I have many products but if you spend so much money on an iPhone 4S that didn't work out; why not spend time goggling India's network provider/carrier and do some research?!?
    Or email Apple support with all your questions, details, informations and maybe thay can help you out more.  It was me, the best answer is to Spend the time on research before making a purchase.
    Good luck.
