If I buy a Verizon/Sprint Phone from Apple at full price can I put an ATT SIM in it and run on ATT network?
If I buy a Verizon/Sprint Phone from Apple Unlocked at full price, can I put an ATT SIM and Run on the ATT network?
Verizon: Yes.
Sprint: No.
Sprint iPhones can not be used on any U.S. carrier other than Sprint. They can only be unlocked by Sprint for use on non-US carriers, and then only for current Sprint customers in good standing.

I bought the company unlocked phone from apple store Canada. It was originally loaded with software 4.2 and was working fine here in SaudiArabia. Yesterday I updated with IOS 5.0.1. Now it is showing that sim is not valid. The same sim works fine in other phones.
Here's and update on my problems and here are are some screen shots of the types of problems I've been having since the v5.0.1 update. Keep in mind these are native apps and I have tried the rebuild phone crap many times, nothing helps.
This is screen shot of a what happened when I tried to use my camera one day, both the front and back cameras were all black. I had to power cycle the phone to get rid of this problem. The cameras appeared to be working correctly, I could focus and zoom but it was all black.
Here is an image of what happened when I searched for something in a map. This is after I picked the choice I wanted, the keyboard disappeared but the list didn't. I had to force close the app and restart it for this problem to go away. Who knew five bars on ATT was possible.
And finally this is the messaging app, although you would not know it. I had to return to home screen (after a long pause for it to process the button push) and return to the messaging app. This happens all the time with the messaging app and the notifications sounds drive me crazy. If i'm using the phone, say browsing the web and I get an incoming message its almost 100% of the time the messaging app will screw up. The sound will play at the wrong time or not at all, message will show up in notifications and diasapear in message app or Ill have a problem like this: -
I bought iPhone at Verizon-is it unlocked so I can put in an Italian SIM card in when I am traveling there. Can I use the iPhone as a hotspot?
No.
If a 4S, Verizon must unlock the GSM portion which then can be used with another carrier's SIM card outside of the US.
Being able to tether the iPhone is carrier dependent. -
Can I put apps on an external drive and run them from there?
I want to know can I put apps downloaded from the Mac App store onto an external hard drive and launch them from there? The storage on my mac is full and I want to put apps onto an external drive to create more space on my mac.
Bad idea. See this:

I can't get my gmail to display on my Macbook Pro Mail 4.5. It appears to be synching and it shows on the top that there are messages but they do not display. It will allow me to send emails but it does not display received emails. Any suggestions?
Have you tried resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -
Do I have to pay the upgrade fee if I buy my phone from apple?
I can't find anywhere where the upgrade fee is explained fully. I know if I buy my phone from apple, it is a "verizon" phone -- will they charge me the upgrade fee, will verizon charge it when I activate the phone, or does it not apply if I buy it via the apple store?
If you are buying the phone at full price (or Verizon EDGE), there won't be any upgrade fee. If you are getting a subsidized phone (2-year contract) there will be an upgrade fee.

hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you
Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones. -
What is going on??? Since I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 all messages that are sent to my phone from another iPhone user also get sent to my daughters iPhone 4. And she can receive my text but cannot reply to me.

I am living in Pakistan, Lahore. I have purchased an Apple Iphone 5S online from apple store. I am facing water damage problem and there is no apple store here in Pakistan, How can I repair my phone from apple service center? Please help me
Take it to an authorized service center or Apple Store in the country where the phone originated. Apple does not sell iPhones in Pakistan, nor will they ship them to Pakistan.

Can't we get calls to normal mobile phones from apple iPad 3 wifi+4g
I want to know weather we can get calls to normal mobile phones from apple I pad3 wifi+4g
The iPad is not a mobile phone and therefore cannot make or receive calls. The iPad can send a message to another iOS device using the Messages app but the iPad cannot send or receive cellular text messages using the SMS system that all cell phones use. There may be an app that gets around this limitation though so check the App Store.

Was anyone able to purchase 2 phones from Apple for a FamilyTalk plan
On June 17 I placed 2 separate orders for 32GB phones, both lines eligible for upgrade pricing. After waiting patiently since June 17 I received an email from Apple today that there is a "problem" with the 2nd order and to check with AT&T to resolve it. I spent 1 1/2 hrs on the phone with them while they were trying to find the problem, they couldn't find one and said the 1st phone has already gone through and the 2nd phone is eligible and the account is OK etc. I then called Apple and the guy I talked to there now says that because this was a family plan that I am only able to purchase 1 phone online and that the other one has to be bought in a store or from AT&T. I thought that as long as it was 2 separate orders it was OK, was I wrong and now I have to try & find one in a store now?
I am so frustrated.....

Kathy, I had a similar problem when I went to order two phones from Apple on June 16, I also have a FamilyTalk plan. I had an Apple CSR on the phone when I made the orders. I suspected that both orders had gone threw for the same phone # but the CSR assured me that everything was okay. So I ordered the phones on June 16, they both went to Prepared to Ship on July 3. Then on July 4 one of the orders went back to its previous status, then the email from Apple came on July 5 saying that there was a problem with an order and I should contact AT&T and of course it does not say which order. So I contacted AT&T and it turns out that two orders went in for my wife's phone # even though the CSR said the order was fine and she checked both orders for me. The AT&T rep I talked to on July 5 said he talked to Apple and that I would have to cancel the order in question and re-order the phone for my #. So I ended up putting in a new order with AT&T because of the 7-10 ship rather than the 3 weeks from the Apple site. So the first phone is still Prepared to Ship and the second phone sits in backordered status with AT&T. I wish they would have informed me of the problem right away rather than three weeks after I put in the initial order. So I feel your pain, you are not alone. -
I am not finding my backup of my Iphone 5 that I backed up in itunes. I need to put the old information on my replaced phone from Apple care.
the itunes back up can be found in preferences/devices on ur itunes
the preferences can be reached by going to:
windows pc: edit/preferences
mac pc: itunes/preferences
check ur icloud as well in case u had the 'back up to icloud' option checked instead of the 'to this computer' option when u backed it up to ur itunes.
if neither of those have ur back up then ur back up is not in that pc and not in ur icloud for that apple id. it might be somewhere else (another pc maybe) or it doesnt actually exist.
