In UK: Use with Orange

This post copied from Macrumors.

It looks like your iPhone is not unlocked but very much locked to Virgin.  This means that you must contact Virgin to determine what you need to do in order for it to be unlocked so that you can use the Orange Sim Card in the UK.  Have you ever used the phone before with a SIM card other that Virgin's?
Did you buy the iPhone from Virgin, from Apple or from an authorized Apple reseller?

  • HT201328 I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first or set one up for her and then unlock the phone.

    I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.

    I would complete unlocking as is and then
    restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
    Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
    one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
    will likely take weeks
    This may also help

  • When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background. i am on a Windows 7

    When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background.
    i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • Is it true that a iphone 4s are made with orange unloked

    Is it true that a iphone 4s are made with orange unloked.
    mundem me ju dergu imei, per mi shiku a eshte unloked

    Both Apple and OWC have changed their story then because both were selling 8 GB kits for the 2.6 and above 15" MBP. Its well known that Apple took that option away after initially offering it but looks like the resellers have now done the same.
    http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/03/26/appleselling_8gb_memory_upgrade_kits_for_15_macbookpros.html
    Plus plenty of people are reporting success using 8 GB in their 15" MBP.

    I believe that iPhone 4 upgrades from O2 or other carriers are simlocked. Unless you purchased your iPhone 4 from Apple Store Online you can't use your orange(contract)microsim(if you happen to swap your sim) to your O2 iPhone 4 upgrade. Even if you ask O2 to unlock your phone, they wouldn't do it.

    Unlocking iPhone 4
    To make sure our iPhone 4 stock is reserved exclusively for genuine O2 customers during launch, we won't unlock iPhone 4 until after the launch period. Please check back here for the latest information on unlocking iPhone 4.
    Hopefully O2 will unlock the iPhone 4 soon!

  • Iphone 3GS Factory Unlocked with Orange in France Not working.

    So the story is as follows.
    I was working in France for the last few months on a ship. The engineer i was working with recived an iPhone from Orange as a bonus on his plan. He did not want the phone so he gave it to me. We talked to orange and had it unlocked. I did not use it as a phone while working as i had no real need for it. Nor did i want it to go for an accidental swim.
    I have now returned home to Australia. With what I thought was a factory unlocked Iphone 3Gs. I restored the iphone firmware to Iphone OS 3.1.3 placed my optus Sim Card in to the iphone and connected it to my computer.
    I am greeted with the following message:
    "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
    Only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported Carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card."
    I called the apple support line and i was told that without the orginal sim card there was nothing i could do.
    I can not get the SIM card of the engineer as he is in france. I can still use the shipping agent to get in contact with orange.
    If anyone knows of a solution to this problem it would be much apppreciated as right now i have shiny paperweight.
    How can i get the phone to work with my optus SIM card?

    It sounds like it was never unlocked by Orange in the first place and without his SIM you can do nothing.
    Optus cannot do anything for you as only the original carrier can unlock it and that requires the original SIM card.
    Its a brick until you return to France with the SIM card and then probably pay to get it unlocked - I can't recall if they do official unlocking there but its pretty likely.

  • Can I activate iPhone 4S with a SIM from one country and then use with a SIM from another country?

    I bought a factory unlocked iPhone 4S from an Apple store in the U.S. and I am in Guatemala. I want to use it now but later on I will move to New Zealand. Can I activate it with a SIM card from Guatemala and then use it with a SIM card from New Zealand? I am just wondering if it will get locked with the Guatemalan SIM card. Or does it just need a SIM from any supported carrier and then it remains unlocked to use with any other carrier? Thanks

    David,
    As I (mis)understand it, you may:
    1) Copy one orange gradient path to the magenta gradient path document;
    2) Select the two magenta gradient paths and change the Fill to None;
    3) Select the orange gradient path;
    4) Select the two magenta gradient paths and change the Fill to Gradient.
    That should give you the desired replacement. For multiple use of the same gradient, you may consider a gradient swatch.

  • Airport Express with Orange LiveBox and Wireless Music

    I just purchased an Airport Express with the intention of using it for streaming music wirelessly to play through my AV receiver.
    I managed to get this working without any problems.
    However I use an orange Livebox (wireless modem) for my Internet connection.
    Is it possible to use Airport for both as when I set up the Airpor Express it started its own network thus if I wanted to use it I had to switch from my Internet connection.
    My Livebox and AV Receiver are in different rooms if that makes any difference.
    Cheers

    Configure your AirPort Express (AX) following the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

  • Personal Hotspot - tethering with Orange (France)

    I have IMac OSX 10.9.4, 4GB,Processor 3.06 with Intell2Duo. I would like to check for Malware. I run a TechTool Pro 6 every month and that comes up great.
    When check how much memory I am using, with only Safari open I am using 3.9 and more of her 4.0 memory. She is very. very slow in processing. I had 4000
    trash to clean out and it took her over an hour to expel. Also for some reason Safari will not allow me to click on a link, in my G-mail, and let it go to the page.
    It has a sign saying a pop-up blocker is on and will not let me do it. I must open the stamp to look at my e-mails and if I have redirected link now I can do it.
    I have not changed my preferences so where is this pop-up blocker?
    I have looked at preferences on Safari and Google, which I do not understand Google, and do not see where this blocker could be.
    Malware is something I want to make sure is not on my computer. Tech Tool Pro 6 is all I know of and it does not detect Malware.
    Help.

    thanks

    If you restrict the selection, a record value outside of that selection is not acceptable and will give you this error. This is how BPS works.
    You need to restrict on some other char so BASIC1 doesn't come in, but this value should be part of any selection on ZSEGMENT field for it to be accepted back.

  • After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - whihc has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5.

    After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - which has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5. Has been working fine up until update. Is there a fix for this? The car does not have usb

    Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
    Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
    This listed below will fix it...
    Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
    Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
    You're very welcome! Have a great day!

  • Inland external usp mouse malfunctio​ning when used with HP Pavilion dv6-2155dx laptop.

    I have a external usb mouse I have been using with my HP laptop for over two years now and it has always worked without a problem. This week it suddenly stopped working properly. Often it does not work when I click on it even after several tries. Due to disability with hands it is too hard to use the pointer on the pad on my laptop. I need to use a mouse.
    I am not sure if it is a bug from a recent software update or an issue with my snyaptics program (which is what I suspect).  I am older and my computer knowledge is not so good anymore.
    What can I do to diagnose to see where the problem is. I cannot afford to take my laptop in for service right now.
    Thanks

    Hi Richard61,
    Thank you for your post, I will do my best to assist you.
    I understand that your mouse is not working properly.  Here is a document onTroubleshooting Mouse Problems (Windows 7, Vista, XP).  Have you tried a different usb mouse?  Have you tried it in a different USB port?
    It is not the synaptics program as that has to do with Touchpads, not the mouse.  If you believe it was an update, you may be able to do a system restore back to when it was working correctly.  You could try running  MS Fix It to help resolve issues and look for updates. You should also run the HP Support Assistant  to aid with updates and resolve issues.  Please let me know how it turns out.

  • How do I format my external HD to use with iMac?

    I have an external HD by Maxtor that I have used with a Windows computer. I am changing to iMac and want to use the same drive. I have transferred the files on it to my iMac successfully. But now I can't clean up the drive because everything is "read only". I read in Maxtor support how to format the drive but it was directions for Mac OS 9 and I couldn't figure it out.

    Additionally, you need to be aware of OS X file system formats and partition mapping schemes are two different things.
    OS X requires the Mac OS Extended (HFS+) file system formatting—applies to both PPCs and ICBMs (Intel-chip-base Macs). Details on file system formats are in <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Performance/Conceptual/FileSystem/Art icles/MacOSXAndFiles.html>.
    PPCs require the ApplePartition Map scheme and the ICBMs the GUID Partition Table scheme. Details on partition mapping schemes are in <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/universalbinary/universal_binary_tips/chapter_5_section10.html>.
    So, for your situation, in addition to Mr. Clifton's advice, you need to select the GUID partition map scheme.
