I want to use a UK Iphone bought 2nd hand in Spain. How do I do it?

Hi, I bought a 2nd hanf Iphone 4S, from UK, he said it was unblocked but now it has arrived in Spain and it will not work with my carrier, Movistar./
How do I get it to work? Sim card is in it, but I have no service, thanks for your help in advance.

Sounds like your iPhone is locked to a carrier in the UK. You will have
to contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you
qualify. Suggest you contact the seller for refund or for assistance in getting
the iPhone unlocked.

There is no solution here and you should already have known this as you replied to a thread all about this a few up from your own post and this stated the postition quite clearly and the question was answered.
Why do you ask the same question again? The first answer is not going to change just because you don't like it!!

I want to use my old iPhone 3GS as an Ipod. Nothing is working?

I'm tired of wasting battery on my iPhone 4 to listen to music, so I wanted to use my old iPhone 3GS as an iPod. I read you had to have a sim card inserted in the phone, regardless if it's activated. So I put the old one inside, but when I connect it to my computer, it won't charge, or sync with iTunes. It's definitely not my charger because both of my phones charge in a wall outlet, and my iPhone 4 charges through the computer. Just not the iPhone 3GS.... I'm going on vacations with long car rides and would like to use this. Help please!

If you can't update or restore your iOS device

I want to use my old iphone for my kids as an ipod. How do I keep from getting text messages on it when it is turned on? If it is on, and my droid razar is on, text messages will go to the iphone. It is either a 4 or 4s ...I don't have Siri, so I think

Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
It would depend however on the age of the child.
Good Luck

HT3546 How do I set up my air port extreme to do port forwarding? Running 10.7.4 I have a IP camera on my local wireless net work that I want to use from my iPhone 4s and other computers.

In most cable systems, the router you have will plug into your modem and just work automatically. A NAT (Network Address Translation) router takes your external IP and hands out LAN (Local Area Network) based IPs. All of the devices you are working with right now should handle the change automatically unless you've changed from the default automatic configuration.
The problem with your wireless end of this is that the iPhone is not yet 802.11n, only 802.11g. Because that router is not dual band, all of your wifi devices will be forced to slow down to 802.11g speeds. This won't matter much for each device that's connecting to the internet, as your bottleneck is still going to be there. Where you will see slowdowns is device to device connections, like transferring data between the devices.

I want to use Find my iphone, but just on iOS

I have an iPhone, iPad, and a Mac. I have iCould on the ios devices, but not the Mac. I want to use find my iphone, but not on the Mac. Just on ios. Is there any way to do that?

If you want to be able to track your iOS devices, turn on Find My iPhone in Settings>iCloud. You don't need to do anything on your Mac. You can track them from your Mac by going to icloud.com, signing into the iCloud account that the device(s) you want to track are using, then clicking on Find My iPhone.
As fromsouth said, you can also download a separate Find My iPhone app on any of your iOS devices. This allows any device to track the other devices. This is separate from enabling Find My iPhone on your devices, which is done in your device settings.

The Kindle reader requires iOS 7. If you have an older version of it you can still install it, but if you don't there is no way to get the older version.

I want to use an old iphone as an itouch and don't have the sim card anymore (cut it to fit into 4G) and I just updated to the new software.... How do I reload the phone with apps and music?

You'll need to get a SIM card. It can be an old one.

HT201269 I want to factory unlock my iphone 5s sprint/virgin phone? How can I do?

I want to factory unlock my iphone 5s sprint/virgin phone? How can I do?

There is no such thing as a Sprint/Virgin phone. It's either a Sprint phone, or a Virgin phone.
If it's a Sprint phone, and you are a Sprint customer in good standing, then contact Sprint. They can unlock it for use on non US carriers.
If it is not a Sprint phone or you do not meet Sprint's conditions for unlocking, or your intent is to use it on a different US carrier, you may as well sell it. Virgin in the US does not offer unlocking.

Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.

I want to use my grey Mac G4 desktop to Skype. How and where do I connect a microphone

I want to use my grey Mac G4 desktop to Skype. How and where do I connect a microphone. Is it possible?

G4 Macs have no built video/webcams or microphones.
The best solutions are USB devices.
First, you need to determine the version of Skype that you can use. The newest Skype version 5 can only run on Macs with a min. OS X version of OS 10.5.8 Leopard.
Tthe older version of Skype that can run in your Mac is Skype 2.8 found here.
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-computer/macosx/2-8/
There are not a lot of webcams or microphones that work with both Macs and Skype.
Here is the only webcam, from Logitech, that I was using on my previous G4 that was both PC and Mac compatible, but the requirements say you need 1.0 Ghz CPU and OS X 10.5.8 Leopard.
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/webcam-communications/webcams/hd-webcam-c615
Logitech also has a few Mac compatible USB headset audio/microphones, but don't mention Skype compatibilty.
You would need to buy and try to test.
Plantronics makes only one or two models that will work with Macs and general Internet Telephony and include Skype, also.
Here is one here.

Hello 84wvu,
It sounds like you want to setup your Airport Express to Airplay music from iTunes. I found an article with steps to help you get this setup:
Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network, exclusively for iTunes music
AirPort Express used exclusively for AirPlay by setting it up in Client Mode.
Choose this configuration if the computer containing your iTunes library may be out of direct range of the AirPort Express, but is within range of the Wi-Fi network.
How to Set It Up
Connect your AirPort Express to your home stereo or powered speakers.
From your computer, join the wireless network. Use the AirPort status menu in the menu bar on a Mac. On a Windows-based computer, hold the pointer over the wireless connection icon until you see your AirPort network name (SSID), and choose it from the list if there are multiple networks available. Enter the network password, if necessary.
Open iTunes on your computer and choose the AirPort Express(es) you wish to stream music through from the speakers pop-up menu in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window.
I also recommend reviewing the sections titled "Some things you should know about AirPort Express with AirPlay" and "Things to consider before you begin" in the full article:
Wi-Fi base stations: How to set up and configure AirPort Express for AirPlay and iTunes

"Ok, but Whats happen if the carrier said that I need the first contract personal information.."
Then you need the first contract personal information.
" I Know that all the companys have to unlock de phone... ¿?¿?"
Not true.
"Apple could help me then¿?¿? unlocking the Iphone beacuse Apple always have the last word...
No. Apple has no part in the decision ot lock or unlock at all. Lock/unlock is 100% the decision of the carrier. Apple has nothing to do with this decision.

I want to use my original Iphone as an Ipod

I just got the new I phone 4 which took the place of my original I phone generation 1. How do I now just use my original I phone not as a phone but only as an Ipod. I really just want to use it for music and movies for my kids. I am scared to up link to Itunes because I don't want to screw up my settings on my new I phone 4?

iTunes will recognize each device as unique. It will continue to see the old iPhone as an iPhone but that's fine. You can sync multiple iPhones or iPods or iPads (or any combination of the above) to one iTunes Library.
Best of luck.
