If i buy a phone that is unlocked for any carrier and connect it, will it still be unlocked for other carrier?

If you buy it directly from apple as unlocked yes. I know some places sell "unlocked" phones that lock to the first network you connect them to. Your best bet is to buy directly from apple.

You only think you bought it not locked. It is locked to a carrier. Where did you buy it? The only legitimate place to buy an unlocked iPhone is directly from Apple. No other source is authorized to sell unlocked phones.

I have an iPhone 4 that i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access all my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? It is also on the same apple id, but i dont know if that would help with anything.

I have an iPhone 4 thats i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? Aslo the are both on the same apple id but i dont know if that would help or not.

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

I deleted all downloaded songs from my iphone but under Settings/About it still shows songs on my phone. How do I fix this? I need to use that storage space for other things.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Im going to go to apple to show my phone that my wi-fi wasnt working and now iv droped my phone and the hole screen came out, its not mashed it just came out, but work, so now im worried apple my wont take care of it

You are correct to worry. There is no way for Apple to know if the wifi problem was before or after the drop. If you have Apple Care +, you can get a replacement device for a deductible. If not, user damage is not covered under the warranty or regular Apple Care. You would need to see if they will repair the screen (at your cost), or if you would have to purchase an out of warranty replacement.

If I buy a Mac and iPad online, will I still be able to claim warranty at an Apple Authorized Service Provider?

If I buy a Mac and iPad online, will I still be able to claim warranty at an Apple Authorized Service Provider?
I am going to buy a Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display and iPad from www.topbuy.com.au . It's a legit website, but they say the items have topbuy warranties, not apple ones. They say I have to send off my faulty device to them, and they will fix it, but I don't want to do that. I just want to walk into an Apple store, tell them the problem and have a happy ending, like what's supposed to happen. Will I be able to do this?
Thanks

Apple warranty is good at any Apple service provider, AASP or store.
But you seem to be reaching far to defend that "it's a legit website", especially when they seem to be directing you from seeking certified Apple service.
As the saying goes: If it looks like a duck, and it sound like a duck, it's quackers to bypass an Apple store or Apple online to save a few $$. Well, something like that.

I need a new iphone and I've found a fully refurbished iphone 5. Is it a bad idea to get this phone seeing as they are no longer in production? Will it still get updates?

I need a new iphone and I've found a fully refurbished iphone 5 for a competitive price. Is it a bad idea to get this phone seeing as they are no longer in production? Will it still get updates?
Or is it worth buying the iphone 5c?

Hi I would buy the iPhone 5s look on EBay make sure the ICloud Lock has been removed Get the 32G one buy one with the box and from someone who has good feedback. Also look at Refurbished IPhones on Apple Website. Cheers Brian

When I use Explored, ussually I diplay my pages in english, but Explore has a feature that you can point any word and it is translated from english to spanish (one one word at the time, not the complete page), does it is available in firefox?

When I use Explored, usually I display my pages in English, but Explore has a feature that you can point any word and it is translated from English to Spanish (one one word at the time, not the complete page), does it is available in Firefox?

I do not know the answer but if you look through the Add-ons under [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=translation translate] you may find something suitable. There is of course also the well known Google translate [http://translate.google.com/#es|en|choose%20the%20language%20combinations%2C%20and%20can%20handle%20single%20words%0Awith%20some%20odd%20results service]

Can I sync email between iPad mini, iPad, and MacBook so that if I delete email using one device, it will also be deleted from the other two?

You have to set up the email account using IMAP instead of POP.
What type of email address is it? Yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc?

I have an older Hitachi widescreen 1080p TV that has a DVI input, no HDMI input. Is there an adapter and if so will it still work?

I have an older Hitachi widescreen 1080p TV that has a DVI input, no HDMI input. Is there an adapter and if so will it still work?

As HDMI is the only supported method there will no guarantee with any converter.
DVI doesn't tranfer audio so you would have to either go through optical to connect speakers, or use a DAC in connection with analogue speakers.
Also, unless the TV is HDCP compliant you will be unable to play protected content (ie iTunes, Netflix)

ITunes synced 20 GB of music to somewhere on my phone that isn't the music directory and saved it as "Other." How do I delete it?

I got a new computer so I went to sync my phone and put music back on it.. so i erased everything off that was originally on it so I could sync with the new computer and it wasn't working... so I restored from a backup and updated. Tried again and it worked, I watched as it copied each song. Sync finished, checked the Music app on my phone and it had nothing except for a couple of iTunes freebies that are available to download through the cloud. Went back to iTunes to try again and I realized that instead of having 20 GB of music, it showed that I had 20 GB added to "Other." Now I can't delete the music off of my phone because it didn't save to the phone as music.
After it failed to work, I was in the process of adding music to my library still and it synced to my phone through the same playlist that I specified to sync originally. I officially have 1 song... when i should have 2700 songs. IDK why it worked for that one song and not the others, but I can't manipulate the 20 GB of music - it is now just used storage space on my phone that I can't touch.

All the music plays. Literally took it off of my old hard drive I used to sync from and put it on my new computer. It all works. I don't know why it wouldn't work or why it would sync all f'ed up.

HT1689 Where did the music on my phone that is not mine come from and how do I get rid of it?

I have music on my phone that is not in iTunes and I did not download to my phone. How did it get there and how do I get rid of it?
Thanks for your help.

Either you enabled the guest user, or you enabled Find My Mac, which requires there to be an active guest account for a thief to log into, so that they'll connect to the internet and allow you to locate it.

T61 32-bit XP to 64-bit Win8 - general approach that may work for other models

I recently tried to upgrade my T61 from 32-bit to 64-bit Win 8 using the $39.99 download.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING THIS, IT WILL FAIL. HOWEVER, IF YOU PURCHASE THE $69.99 VERSION WITH BOTH 32-bit AND 64-bit MEDIA YOU CAN DO IT (no downloadable 64-bit ISO to burn your own.)
Lessons learned:
1. Although not "spec"ed officially, a T61 will take 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB modules).
2. The $39.99 download gives you the version you have - if 32-bit, it is not smart enough to ask you if you want 64-bit. After 2 hours of download and install, you will end up with 32-bit Win 8. Therefore, bite the bullet and buy the $69.99 hard media once (time *is* money). You can buy additional $39.99 upgrades on-line - all you need is the serial # to use with your original "hard media" - it can be used with either the 32- or 64-bit.
3. The actually ugrade went much better than expected. By going from 32-bit to 64-bit I got a clean install. Win 8 had drivers for virtually all devices except one - the SIMM stick driver for the Ricoh 4-in-1 card reader. This was identified after floating the error code out on Google. See the following to tell you what device(s) is (are) missing - www.pcidatabase.com
4. I usually partition my disk into C: (active), D: (disk image and data back-up , internal), and E: (utilties and OS ISO's to do an internal restore). I always clone all 3 partitions to an external drive incase of complete HD failure. This became essential after one trial instal of Win8 32-bit (before I figure it out), I ended up with CHKDSK's in XP on virtually every reboot with no errors found ??!! In other words, assume nothing...
5. The new version of System Update 5 is of virtually no use for a T61 - the only driver/utility identified was Active System Protection for 64-bit.
6. So what is the alternative to System Update? There are several device driver updaters out there - like Slim Device, Driver Doctor, Driver Reviver, Driver Genius, etc., etc. I ran several and they seem to find most of more specific drivers. Just remember some drivers are 32- or 64-bit specific, others one driver works for both. In general Win 7 drivers will work for Win 8 (or so I understand).
7. Fixing the Metro UI, no Start Button / Start Menu problem. What can I say, I hate the new UI - I am a developer/statsitician and have work to do. There is an answer - a "shell" that can immediately replace the Start screen with a Desktop, Start button, and Start menu of your choice of styles Win 2K, XP, and on. There are several of these. I have used Classic Shell (classicshell.sourceforge.net). There are several others. Is it perfect? - no, but I now have a functional system that I can use all 8 GB, loads relatively quickly (faster than 32-bit XP with 3 GB of RAM enabled out of 4.)
8. Older software *does* work. I still use Office 2003, SPSS 12, Stata 8, and contrary to MS' effort to get you to the latest Office, for my purposes, these are compatable.
9. Would it work for the T4x series? I don't see why not. As I mentioned, the included driver database seemed pretty functional. The real question is whether the Pentium M series is compatible; you'd have to try. I do know that MS tried to tell me that the Core Duos in the T6x series were not, but that is why I gave up with MS support after hours on the phone (again, time *is* money).
Bottom line - once again MS rolls out an OS with no clue. On the other hand if this if Win 7.5 and is relatively stable, then it just might be worth the effort.
Good luck!

More details:
When attempting recovery, the exact error message is: "The recovery attempt has failed. Select one of the following buttons: Save Log, Details, Retry". Save log supposedly saves the log to a USB stick, but the file (HP_SSRD_LOG.CAB) is only 2 KB and doesn't want to open as a CAB file. Retry just starts the hours-long process again - with the same result.
Clicking the "Details" button gives me a log (CTOERROR.flg):
[ 2:08:20.17] ChkErrBB.CMD : Detect some error during PININST_BBV.
[ 2:08:20.17] ChkErrBB.CMD : Check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootWarn.log
[ 2:08:20.17] ChkErrBB.CMD : or, check c:\system.sav\logs\BurnBootMerge.log
How's that for most useless log entry ever? Especially since c:\system.sav seems to be a hidden directory, and the Notepad window showing the current log won't display hidden files... and when I pull out the hard drive and inspect the directory structure, there aren't any files by that name...
There is, however, a BurnBootMergeBBV1.log file, containing a couple of interesting lines:
[ 2:04:45.80] 3C12 Factory Update CD for Microsoft QFEs Installation for Windows 8 Launch Fixes Installation State
[ 2:05:49.65] KB2750945 install fail, ERRORLEVEL=-2145124329
[ 2:05:49.65] Result of the 3C12 Factory Update CD for Microsoft QFEs Installation for Windows 8 Launch Fixes
RESULT=FAILED
Standard Error information...
Standard Out information...
Result=FAILED
No idea if that's related or not. I'd still like to try updating the BIOS; if anyone can create a USB thumbdrive with the BIOS on it (using a Win8 machine) and post the files it contains, I'd really appreciate it.

After activating my iPhone 4s, my phone number shows up as "n/a" and my old iPhone is still working. Any thoughts?

After syncing my new iPhone 4s, my old iPhone is still working and the new one says No Service. When I connect to iTunes, it says my Phone Number is "n/a" and my old iPhone is still working.
When activating initially through AT&T, I had no problems, but I've just never gotten service. Any thoughts? Could this all just be due to the servers being overloaded today?

After waiting on hold for a long time, I talked with AT&T to determine that the ICCID and IMEI numbers didn't get changed in their system. (I'm guessing lost in transfer due to the load on the system?). They took down the info, disconnected the call (I had to call from the 3Gs - no landline), and then called me back on my 4s. Problem solved.
Hold times suck right now, but at least 611 calls don't cost you minutes and speaker phone is your friend

If i buy a phone that is unlocked for any carrier and connect it, will it still be unlocked for other carrier?
