The warranty follows the device, not the owner. If you have the device, if there is a warranty issue with the device, you can get it replaced. If you got it officially unlocked by the carrier it was locked to, then you have nothing to worry about it locking back if you do a restore. You may, however run in to activation problems if the device has iOS 7 on it. You will need the Apple ID and password for the person that originally activated the phone, and it sounds as if it has changed hands several times. If you cannot find that original Apple ID and password, then the phone will not be able to activate and no one will be able to help you with that, including Apple.

    Good afternoon, I would like some information I have an ipod nano 6th generation and has the same one-year warranty is only 2 months of use, and it fell down and broke the glass of the display, I called technical assistance in Brazil and informed me that Brazil has no repair services for Apple, which was the basis of its price change in the exchange is not worth half the value of the product.
    I wonder how I do to change this device without the expense of 50% for the same product is in warranty?
    Thanks in advance.

    yes agree, plus a multinational seeing a product and has no technical assistance to do the maintenance then it's no use I buy a new product if it is damaged I will always be because it has no prejudice in this maintenance.
    sorry but even more products coming from China to Brazil in technical assistance.

  • I bought an iphone from Egypt, and i ahad a problem in the hardware while it is still in the warranty period , so can i replace it from USA

    I bought an iphone 4S from Egypt, and i ahad a problem in the hardware while it is still in the warranty period , so can i replace it from USA

    iPhone warranty is only valid in the country of origin.
    You could try taking it to an Apple store and see what they offer.

  • My iPhone is saying its taking up 10g of photos and I only have 154 pictures. Also when I got my screen fixed I had 2,000 and when I got it back I had 0 but my wallpapers remained.. Very strange. It's as if my phone still has the pictures but I can't see

    My phone is saying all my storage for pictures is taken up when I only have 154 picture.. It happened when I got my screen fixed at a kiosk in a mall and I had 2,000 pictures when I gave it to him and when I got it back I had 0 but my wallpapers remained.. Very strange it's as if my phone still has the pictures on there.. But I can't see them. Anybody know what I should do :( I keep having to delete apps because I have no more storage for no reason :(((

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • HT201269 I have purchased a new iphone and backed up the material from my old phone. Only some of the notes and none of the photos have Synced but all of the Apps have transferred. i need to locate the notes and photos. Do you know what I do now.nsferred

    I have transferred data from my old iphone 3 to my new Iphone 5c via iTunes. Following syncing only the Apps, some notes and no photos have tranferred. I need to retrieve the other data what do I do?

    Doesn't sound like your restored from your backup, otherwise pics in your camera roll would've transfer over.
    Take a look at the link and double check you did the correct steps.

  • HT201441 so, what if you have purchased an iPad mini second hand, and the past owner is not available to contact about allowing use?

    PLEASE HELP! I can't connect it to iTunes either because the iPad is kind of broken

    If you have encountered activation lock, your iPad will be useless unless you can contact the prior owner.  They have to give you the ID and password, or erase it and remove it from their account as explained in the article you were reading.  No one else can help you with this and there is no way around it.

  • FFox is brilliant - thank you! I rarely have any prob. - as I did w/ earlier IE. Do you have a component to help w/ graphic design (gd)? If not, can you recomm. gd software (that interfaces well with FFox) - pref. for me to try out, use a tutorial?

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

  • I have a new email address. My partner still has the old one. I downloaded Oxford Dictionary using original email. Now my Ipad shows I have an update for it but even when I sign into using the original email and password I get "cannot connect to store

    I have just got a new password and my partner has my old one. I loaded several apps onto my new Ipad. I now have an update on my Oxford Dictionary App. It will not update using my new ID and password and will not update using my former ID and password. All I get is "cannot connect to Itune Store. If I delete App  and reinstall under new name - no problem with other apps- but I don't want to pay another $59.00 for the Dictionary. How do I get Itune store to allow the update?

    Purchases are tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with. If you use a new ID, you have to buy again.

  • HT5622 I have a new apple ID how come the App Store still has the old one when verifying a purchase?

    How can I fix this. It won't let me update any apps. I recently changed in the iPod but the old one still appears only when asked to verify a purchase

    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • When I get a new TV show, it adds but deletes the old ones. Can you help?

    I added an episode of The Office, and the next day I added another one. The first one had gone to my iPod, but was gone after I added the second show. It was still in my library but not in my iPod. I synced it a few times but it just deleted some more videos. I have them checked in iTunes to add to my iPod, but they don't. I earlier deleted another TV show from my library, would that have anything to do with it? I just figured I'd ask the experts. Thanks

  • Do you have to get a full windows disc to install on mac or can you download the full windows with a product key?

    Well I've been trying to find a full installment of Windows 7 32/64 bit Ultimate/Home Edition/Professional but I can't find a disc. So basically I'm asking can I just download Windows 7 from the internet with the product key or do I HAVE TO get a disc and install it through Bootcamp?

    I don't know if you can legally download a full Windows 7 installer, but if you can find one, you just need to copy the image to a flash drive. See:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
    and
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4087200?start=0&tstart=0
    Amazon has several different versions of Windows 7 available on disk, though. Have you tried them?

  • Since i downloaded your Firefox 4 i have lost Norton 360 safe web taskbar on the firefox home page. can you plese rectify this prblem.

    Norton 360 safe web and identity safe task bar is not displayed on firefox home page, since downloading firefox4.

    It is down to Symantec to correct their mistake with their add-ons. They originally updated their add-ons after quite a delay to work with Firefox 4.0 as shown here - http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Firefox-4-compatibility-hotfix-is-now-available/td-p/428894
    They made an error with the update in only listing it as compatible with Firefox 4.0, so they will not install on Firefox 4.0.1 and subsequent Firefox security updates. Symantec have indicated they will be releasing an update to correct their error soon, for details see http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-Toolbar-not-compatible-with-FF-4-0-1/td-p/442788/page/12

  • Check if you have purchased the application?

    I was just wondering, because I have been looking online for about an hour, if there was any way to check and see if you have purchased an app that is now on the app store that costs money.
    I know that I have gotten some that are free that are now worth money, but some of them aren't on my comp because I have deleted them for space.
    If anyone knows, it would be much appreciated.

    Matt,
    if you try to write a review it will tell you that you can't do so for applications you never bought but will open the review form for applications you did buy (even if you no longer have them installed). If you don't want to actually write a review you can simply hit "Cancel" on the review form.

  • You have to make a choice - which means you are screwed.

    I bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S4 for my daughter exactly one year ago this week from the AT&T store, and I have it covered under mobility insurance. Within the first month of having it, you could not hear her on phone calls. We called AT&T, were told to send it in and we received another. Ten months later, this second phone would not keep a charge. I called AT& T again, and was told to send it in. I was never told this was the “warranty” department, not the “insurance” department. I have never been told there is a difference. I received a third phone two weeks ago. This past Saturday, I received her old phone back in the mail, with a note that it is “damaged”, although there is no damage to the phone that the blind eye can see, and that they are charging me $469 for the third phone. This is on top of the $500 I paid for the new phone last year. I called AT&T to find out why I was being charged for the phone, because first of all there is no damage that I can see, and second of all, I have insurance. There was a red arrow sticker on the second phone pointing to the charging receptacle, but you would have to have a telescope to see in there! Apparently that is where the damage is. I explained that I cannot see any damage, but regardless, the insurance should cover it (which is $199 for the deductible). I was told that you have to “make a choice” before you call warranty, because if it is damaged in any way, you have to pay the full price for the phone, as they do not call the insurance department, which is a separate department. This is insane!! I asked how in the world was I to determine that something inside the phone was wrong that is not covered under warranty? How was I to know that you have to make a choice, either hope that it is covered under warranty and get a replacement or pay $469, or call insurance and get stuck with $199 bill when it could be covered for free under warranty? I again was told that if you choose warranty, then you cannot come back and choose insurance, and that I am just stuck with the $469 bill, even though they “understand” that I could not see any damage. This is completely wrong and unethical. I will not be keeping AT&T as my cellphone network provider.

  • I just purchased a Samsung DVD player with a USB port; says you can use a PC or player to play music; I tried to use my iPhone but it doesn't recognize it. Can you use an iPhone as a player, or would it have to be an iPod

    I just purchased a Samsung DVD player with a USB port; Samsung says you can use a PC or player to play music using the USB port; I tried to use my iPhone but it doesn't recognize it. Can you use an iPhone as a player, or would it have to be an iPod?  Or is there some ap?

    Skip the DVD player use an HDMI connection to your system.
    Use this http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a&fs =s%3Dalpha
    or for just Audio use the 3.5 MM jack.
