Iphone 4 from abroad

I bought a iPhone from abroad and is not calling Israel's networks .... What do you do?

That's not enough information for anyone to help.
Are you saying that your iPhone from another country is not working for you in Israel? Are you roaming with the cellular partners from the other country's cellular company? Did you buy a SIM chip for Israel and that isn't working? Is the iPhone locked to the carrier in the country where you bought it?
Be very explicit about the phone and about what you are trying to do.

Hi, please can someone help me?
Have just returned home from abroad where my iphone 4 worked perfectly.
Now at home it wont receive wifi. It picks up the signal which shows in phones display but cant connect to the internet. Computers and ipod all working fine so I assume it must be a problem with the phone.
Have checked that wifi is turned on and tried resetting phone to no avail

Hello melissa82686,
From your description, it sounds like you may have been using the SMS feature of Continuity in iOS 8. If this is the case and it has somehow become misconfigured after a recent change, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
SMS
With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.

Yes. I do receive iMessages and I can send text messages and iMessages. The only thing that does not work is receiving text messages from abroad...

If I buy my iPhone from the apple website can it work in other countries, if I buy my iPhone 5 from the apple website can it work in other countries

I have not yet bought the phone but I am wondering if I can put other SIM cards from abroad into it and how can I get a message engraved in it

You can only put other sims in if you purchase an unlocked iPhone. If you buy one that is subsidized it is locked to a carrier and can only accept other sim cards if it is a Verizon iPhone...Verizon uses the CDMA radio, the GSM radio is unlocked.

Wud i able to video chat in my ipad4 by skype from abroad if i have got network connection

wud i be able to video chat by skype on my ipad 4 from abroad if i have got the network connection from local carrier.

Correct Phil. On my annual trips abroad that is the way I use my iPhone. I turn off data roaming and use WiFi only. My bills have never been any higher then they normally are that way.
In case of am emergency, I would enable data roaming and pay the charges.
Most hotels has WiFi where I have stayed, Israel, Germany, Greece, Italy and Ireland.
To Agil123
It is my understand that if you get internet connection from local carrier, you will be charged roaming fees from your regular carrier which can be extremely costly. If you wish to use Skype only do it with WiFi to prevent roaming charges.

When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

Problem:
When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
Symptoms:
1)   Sync: It’s not completing the sync. Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options. I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
backing up (step 2 of 7)
preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
importing photos (step 6 of 7)
waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
canceling sync
apple icon
2)   Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone. All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto. All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
3)   Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list. If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes. But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
Other Potential Pertinent Info:
The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago). Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed. I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive. Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself. However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive. All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
Settings/Status:
MacBook Air
OSX v. 10.9
iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
iPhone iOS 7.0.4
iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)
Summary Tab
Backups (This Computer)
Options
Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected
Sync only checked songs and videos
Photos Tab
Sync Photos from iPhoto (429 Photos)
Selected albums, Events, and Faces, and automatically include (no Events)
Albums – 9 are selected

You need to download iTunes on your computer. iOS 6 requires the latest version of iTunes which is 10.7.

I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
may offer a solution.

I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
Thanks,
Best Wishes

When did you buy it?
Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason. Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

So I keep trying to sync music to my iPhone from iTunes, and whenever I select the album the sync goes by really fast and nothing goes onto my phone. Then when I click "On this iPhone" it shows the songs, but they're grey, and I can't click on them. Help?

Ok, sorry. And yes, I just restored my iPhone as new and tried to put all the songs on there before I even restored with my previous backup, but it still does the same thing... even when I just checked the option to sync only "selected music or videos". How's that possible?
P.S. After I tried syncing with checked songs only, nothing showed up under Music on my phone and this message popped up in iTunes: "The iPhone "..." could not be synced because the sync session failed to finish." If you could, please tell me what that means, thanks.

How do i unsync my iphone from itunes library and sync it to a different one without wiping my phone

I bought an iphone 5c and synced it to a windows 7 thinkpad laptop. I backed it up on this device and transferred music off there to my iphone. I recently had an acer aspire e15 laptop and downloaded itunes so i could now do everything i did on my old laptop on to this one, but it isn't letting me unless i sync my phone and wipe its memory. Although i can restore my phone it doesn't restore the music. So is there a way to unsync from one itunes library to another without wiping my data, or is there a way to transfer the music off my phone to my new itunes library so when i restore my phone its easy to restore the music i had on it previously.

The warning message provided is all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased, not all settings and data. The same applies when selecting to transfer any photos from the new computer. If you had a computer backup for your old computer that included your iTunes library and all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer that could be transferred to your new computer, this wouldn't be a problem.
iTunes includes an option to transfer all iTunes content on your iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. Or with your iPhone connected, right click on your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases.
There are some 3rd party utilties that provide for transferring photos from an iPhone that were transferred to the iPhone from a computer, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost. When transferring photos from a computer, the photos are optimized for viewing on the iPhone. The same utilities provide for transferring music from an iPhone that was not purchased from the iTunes Store.
Contacts, settings, and photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are not affected by this.

How do I stop my iPhone from auto-syncing...?!?!

First off, I realise this is to do with my iPhone, but I feel it's definitely an iTunes problem.
Secondly, excuse the multiple question-marks and exclamation-marks in the title, but my frustration know no bounds on this, because I am seemingly doing everything correctly, yet still iTunes persists in tormenting me.
And now, the problem:
I have my iPhone set to NOT automatically sync when I plug it in. The checkbox is unchecked. In fact, I have even gone one step further and checked the box in the Preferences which says "Disable automatic syncing" so that when I plug my iPhone in and it shows up in iTunes, the option in the main window to "Automatically sync" is actually greyed out.
However, every time without fail, when I plug my iPhone into my computer and iTunes is running, the screen on my iPhone will change to the standard syncing screen, saying "Sync in progress. Slide to cancel", etc.
But if I leave it like that and look in my iTunes window, nothing is happening. Nothing's syncing. But the screen on my phone says it is. And I can't do anything with it, so I have to do the "slide to cancel" process to get my phone screen back.
However, when I then launch the iPod app on the iPhone and try to access my music, I'm greeted with a message which says either "Cancelling sync" (which is bizarre because I cancelled it already and opened my iPod app, right?) or "Updating library - this may take a few minutes"...
And I wait and wait and wait, and the message stays there, and I can't access my music.
The only way to regain access to my music is to either unplug my iPhone from the computer, or to just go ahead and do a sync via iTunes, and then wait for it to complete a genuine sync, rather than this phantom sync.
I like to listen to my music while I'm at my computer not through iTunes on my computer but through my iPhone instead, and I like to have it plugged in to keep the battery charged.
So, as you might imagine, it gets a little frustrating because every time I plug it in, I can't listen to my music!!
I have to sync my phone quite unnecessarily in order to do so, and it's frustratingly annoying, especially considering I have deliberately unchecked the options which would normally do this process.
And if I'm already in the process of listening to some music when I decide to plug my iPhone in to top the battery up, then it's even more annoying, because my music stops playing and I "lose my place" as it were, and after the sync is done, I have to go back and find the music I was listening to, and find the song, etc.
Any help anyone? I've checked boxes, unchecked boxes, deleted prefs, re-started, etc. All to no avail.
I'm running the latest iPhone OS 3.0 on an iPhone 3GS, and using iTunes 8.2 under Mac OS X 10.5.6.

Thanks for the response gakker, but I've double-checked the camera / iPhoto / Image Capture scenario, and I'm 100% positive it's got nothing to do with that.
Plugging in my iPhone has no effect on anything related to this.
The other thing I should have mentioned is that when iTunes on my Mac is NOT running, then nothing happens on my iPhone screen when I plug it in to my Mac. I only get the "Sync in progress" message when iTunes IS running.
It's interesting though that you say you also get this "Sync in progress" message, albeit only for a second or two though.
Can I just double-check something with you however... When you say:
+"at no time was my iTunes playback interrupted"+
do you mean the iTunes on your Mac? Because the problem I have is that the iPod-playback on my iPhone is interrupted.
So can you clarify that for me, please? If you have music playing on your iPhone, and you then plug your iPhone into your Mac when iTunes is running on your Mac, does the music playback on the iPhone get interrupted?

How do you move an iphone from one itunes account to a new one?

How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).
