I have the iPhone 4 and I am having trouble updating to iOS7
I have the iPhone 4 and I am having trouble updating to iOS7. Though I initially didn't care about updating, I can't download certain apps without updating to i0S7. I have tried to update while wireless and while connected to iTunes, but it is saying that I do not have enough storage space to update. I have heard that I can remove the music from my iPhone (creating space), update my phone to i0S 7 and then put my music back onto my iPhone, but how do I go about doing this? I don't want to make a mistake and lose all of my music. Does anyone know of another way that I can update without having to delete more music, photos, apps etc. ?
As long as your music is in iTunes, you can delete it from your iPhone no problem. iTunes will not change. You cannot update if you do not have enough space, so if you can remove that music and some photos, it should work then.

Would an unlocked iphone bought in the usa work in the uk with a uk sim card
I am looking to buy an unlocked iphone 4s on my next trip to the usa and was wondering if it would work back in the uk with a uk sim card?
If it is truly unlocked, yes. Note, though, that you would get no warranty or other support for a US-sold iPhone in the UK. Should it ever need service, you'd have to send the iPhone to someone you know in the US to get it serviced. So think hard before you decide to purchase a US iPhone.

HT201210 hi i did update my iphone 3gs it was successful but it says that i have no sim card in it
i did update my iphone 3gs it was successful but when it restart it doesnt know my simcard, anybody can help me
Your iPhone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it to use it on a different network. Now that you have updated the OS it has relocked to the original carrier. Call AppleCare and give them the serial and model numbers so they can tell you who it is locked to. Then contact that carrier and see if you can get the iPhone unlocked.

Hello,
I have bought Iphone 5 with no contract (649$ + Tax) and i've activated it with nano sim of sprint (without having sprint account)
i am outside US now , and i was discover that the phone can't be used because the activation with other sim is failed.
Sprint says that can't do anything if i dont have sprint account (no sure why they cant locate it VIA SN\IMEI).
what should i do in order to unlock it ?
ThanksYou bought a Sprint phone. Sprint phones are NOT unlocked. Sprint will only unlock the SIM slot for current Sprint customers in good standing for use while travelling internationally.
You bought the wrong phone. Since you're not a Sprint customer, you can not get it unlocked. Sell it to someone in the US and buy a phone you can use. -
I need help with my iphone 3gs?
No. It won't. You can NOT activate an iPhone without a SIM. There are no exceptions. If the OP is getting a message that the SIM is not valid, not present, or not recognized, it will NOT activate.
