If I buy a new iPhone 3GS on eBay, can I transfer the SIM card from my current iPhone 3GS into the new one and will it still work?
I have an 8GB iPhone 3GS on AT&T, and I wanted to purchase a 16GB version on eBay. Will I be able to just pop the SIM card out of the current iPhone 3GS into the new iPhone 3GS and have it work properly?
Yes, you will be able to use it provided that the 16GB version of 3GS is either factory unlocked or locked to AT&T network (in case of a carrier locked phone).

Can I transfer my SIM card from an iPhone 4 to an unlocked iPhone 4s?
I broke my old iPhone 4. Instead of going through the hassle, I want to just buy an unlocked iPhone 4s. Can I just transfer the SIM card to the new one with no trouble? Or can I only transfer to an iPhone4? Thamks.
Yep. You can transfer it just fine.

Good day, tell me what to do iphone 4s bought preowned raised to 7.2 firmware but it requires aktivatsyi apple id but I do not know it because they do not buy a new one. and contact the seller lost in what to do now tell me?
There is no way around the activation lock. You apparently decided to use the phone with someone else's ID set up for an iCloud (and find my iPhone) account before updating. Since Find My iPhone was active, updating to iOS 7 has automatically turned on the activation lock. If you do not have the Apple ID and password that were previously used, then the phone is now useless. You can't activate it without that informaion.
Talk to whoever you bought the phone from if you can. If you can't, buy a new phone. -
My iphone was stolen. If i buy a new one and to register with the same Apple ID, my photos will be recovered in the new device?
If you have a backup of the old phone that backup contains camera roll photos. Restore from that backup to get your camera roll photos back

HT1807 Can I use a sim card from Taiwan when I go there in a month on the new iPhone 5
I am just wondering if I buy the new iPhone 5 on pay as you go. Can I use a sim card from a different country. I am off to Taiwan for 6 months in a month and would like to take the iPhone with me
If your phone is officially unlocked, & either of the three authorized carriers, in Taiwan, have nano sims available, yes. Otherwise you'll have to get International Provisioning activated for your account & use the phone while roaming...very expensive.

Can i put my SIM card from my old iphone 5 into my new Iphone 5 i just purcahed? And will my phone start working?
Yes all of the iPhone 5 family use the nano sim, so as long as you did not switch to a phone locked to another network it will work. But you do need to go through the activation/setup procedure with tHat sim.

Can i use my sim card from iphone 3g for a iphone 4?
can i use my sim card from iphone 3g for a iphone 4?
Not as it is, no. The iPhone 4 takes micro-SIMs. It is apparently possible to cut down a standard SIM, but it would be best to just get a new micro-SIM from your cell carrier.

I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one? Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!
You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

I had an Apple TV that was bricked by an update and had to buy a new one. Will Apple come good?
I had an early Apple TV that stopped working during an update. I took it to the apple dealer where I bought it, and they confirmed that it was no longer working. Because it was beyond warranty, I had to buy a new one. Now learning that updates can damage the unit, I feel that Apple owes me a replacement. I no longer have the old unit. Is there any chance that Apple will credit me for my cost?
Return the new one now. They give you 2 weeks, no quesitons asked to return it if you are not satisfied. Return it at an actual Apple Store and not a dealer. Bring the bricked one to the Apple Store as well, not the dealer, and make a Genius Bar appointment to have it looked at. They will either reset it and make it work or replace it at no charge. Review others' posts on the boards here and you will see many people have done this with no problem. Apple knows it is an issue with this update and they will not let you leave without a working unit.

Can I use a sim card from my galaxy S3 for and iphone
Wanted to know if I purchase an iphone 5 can I use the sim card from my Galaxy S3 Verizon phone.
hi there,
unfortunately you cannot.
The iPhone 5 uses a 4th generation SIM card (NanoSIM) while the Samsung Galaxy S3 uses a 3rd generation MicroSIM. You can however use your existing MicroSIM in an iPhone 4 or 4S
Hope this helps,

Can anyone out there help me. If I unregister my iphone 5 will it still work and will it still be able to receive and send iMessages? Will this mess up iTunes?
If you turn off iMessage, then you can't send or receive iMessages... in case that wasn't apparent.
The problem is the android users who did not turn off iMessage on their iPhones before they switched to something else. They need to fix that. If they don't, then your only option is to turn off iMessage or forcibly send the messages as SMS messages. -
My Macbook Pro's charger broke. Do I have to buy a new one or will they replace it for me for free?
Please answer asap I really need to know this! Thank You!
if it broke because you stepped on it, dropped it etc, you will need to pay for a new one. If it broke due to faulty craftsmanship and your mac is still under warranty, the charger is covered too.
