Is it possible to retrieve apple id by imei?

So my brother has an unlocked iPhone 5 in Albania which was working fine with the local carrier.
Now here is the problem: His phone got locked and he can't retrieve the apple id to turn on the phone.
We contact the seller of the phone but there is no guarantee he will get back to us.
Is it possible to look it up somehow just by IMEI or is that out of the question?
Thanks

No. You must get the original owner to remove the device from his or her account. That is the only way to use the device; otherwise, it is useless. Read:
Activation Lock

Can you help me to retrieve my applications. In iTunes I accidentally clicked the Restore button in the Summary screen. It restored the original settings and I lost all my applications and don't know if it is possible to retrieve them.

All apps on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer.
You can re-download all 3rd party apps and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the apps that was used to purchase the app originally.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Do this with iTunes on your computer. After you have re-downloaded every app one by one, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for the device's sync preferences along with selecting the apps below that you want transferred to the device followed by a sync to re-install the apps on the device.

Is it possible to retrieve deleted files from the cloud i.e. contact list?

Is it possible to retrieve deleted files from the cloud i.e. contacts?

If you have an iCloud backup of an iOS device that was made while the contacts were still on it, you may be able to restore them from the backup by following this user tip from Winston Churchill: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you have them on a back up you can try restoring the device.

Is it possible to retrieve a registration key for a hard copy of iWork 06? Moved and cannot locate disc, and replaced the computer it was originally installed on. When I transferred the program to new Macbook, the reg key apparently didn't transfer.

Is it possible to retrieve a registration key for a hard copy of iWork 06? Moved and cannot locate disc, and replaced the computer it was originally installed on. When I transferred the iWork from original Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro, the reg key apparently didn't transfer. Any ideas?

Do you still have access to the old MacBook Pro? If so, you can transfer the license by copying the com.apple.iwork.plist from Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences to the same location on the new Mac. Note that this IS the main HD Library, not your user library. I have found that these files are not moved during setup or migration.
Are you really running Tiger 10.4.7? If so, you should update to 10.4.11. You can find the updater here. You also might consider buying the retail disk of iWork '09 from a third-party such as Amazon.com or eBay. It will add a lot of features for you. iWork '09 does require Tiger 10.4.11 at a minimum.

Accidentally cleared messages in messaging is it possible to retrieve ?

My daughter is away on 3 months backpacking and we have been messaging each other from ipad to iPhone (I am using ipad). She has sent lots of photos etc but through laziness I had not saved so it was one long string in messages. My wife has sent a message today and somehow has deleted (she may have hit clear all by mistake)
Is it possible to retrieve ?
Any advice would be much appreciated
Many thanks
Michael

Are you signed into iCloud? If so, you will have a backup saved in the cloud. Verify by going into settings/iCloud/Storage and Backup.....If so, and the date is prior to the deletion, restore from the iCloud backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If that too is a miss, as Demo said, you are out of luck :/

Is it possible to retrieve photo book after I accidentally changed theme?

I created a photo book with all the pictures and description. I ordered it. Then I wanted to order another one but in a different size. So I supposed that it was all going be saved and clicked on the change theme button where I can choose from the different sizes. Unfortunately I lost all the type editing. Now I don't remember which types and colours I used on the individual pages.Anyone knows if its possible to retrieve the book from my apple account? I need the same book what I already ordered just in a different size..Cheers.

I need the same book what I already ordered just in a different size..Cheers.
If you need to book in a different size you need to reformat it. The book, that was sent to apple was a PDF, and that cannot be used by Apple to create the smaller sized book.
So I supposed that it was all going be saved and clicked on the change theme button where I can choose from the different sizes. Unfortunately I lost all the type editing.
If your Time Machine backup goes back far enough in time, you could try to restore the iPhoto library from before you changed the book theme and then try to find out what the colours and fonts have been.

HT201317 Can anyone tell me if it's possible to retrieve photos from my iphone4 that has been taken more than 30 days ago on to my pc?

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to retrieve photos from my iPhone 4 that I took more than 30 days ago on to my pc?

I had issues in 10.4.7 as well as 10.4.8.
My problems occurred at the beginning of 10.4.8, then many users brought light to me using WEP, which was not working that great. I changed my connections to WPA2 and my problem has disappeared. If my problem didn't resolve the way it did, I would have mentioned it the next time I visited an apple store.
The bottom line is that assumptions, complaining, and self diagnostics don't get many people very far and bringing the problem to apple helps them know the incidence of this problem, and helps them develop a reliable solution.
Though some users have reported the "cold shoulder" when reporting Airport problems to apple... I hope you weren't one of them.

Is it possible to retrieve an old expired iweb website?

Dear all,
I have an old iWeb that comes along iLife I purchased torgether with my white macbook in 2006. I haven't backed-up my data on that website so when my macbook crashed in 2010, I lost all the data in my laptop. I could still access my website though at that time. But when my subscription ended I lost interest in renewing it until Apple barred access to it sometime in 2012. I could no longer find it when I type my website's address. Is it possible to request Apple for me to have access to my old website? I heard that they keep a copy of it. I just realize there was so much info and photos I put on it from my 4 years of travelling. I simply regret not saving all those when I still had the chance.
I hope someone from this community can help me with the information I need.
Many thanks!

Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing that you can do about this now - it comes down to being 2 years too late!!
All people with MobileMe accounts and websites hosted on MobileMe were informed that MobileMe was closing by e-mail up to a year beforehand, so that they had ample time to retrieve their sites and make alternative hosting arrangements by signing up with a new web host.
Once MobileMe closed, Apple kept websites for a short time afterwards, but this time was limited and now everything has been deleted from the servers and Apple do not keep webistes. Anything not claimed and retrieved has been deleted long since, so unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing that you can do.
Rather than just thinking about saving and retrieving, you should have done something about it whilst you had the chance because now there is absolutely nothing that you can do about this and there is no way to get your webiste or any of your data back again. You will have to start again from scratch by re-building.
I would suggest that if you decide to re-build your site that you get new software with which to do so - take a look at EverWeb at http://www.everwebapp.com - this is the most like iWeb that you will get. Other alternatives out there are RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express 6, WebAcappella 4, and Flux 4.
You will also need to register a domain name and also get a hosting account with a web host so that you can load your site to a server.

Is it possible to retrieve a CD which is physically stuck in an iMac without dismantling the iMac?

Is it possible to retrieve a CD which is physically stuck in an iMac without dismantling the iMac?

Hello there,
The only way i can think is to press the button to eject, then normally what i do is push a thin card just over the top of the disc, and try get it out by pushing slightly down on the card to pull the disc out, otherwise you can try to hang the imac upside down where the disc will fall out, and give it a few shakes downwards to where the disc might slide out etc.
Here is other sources to fixes of stuck discs below.
http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/quick-tip-how-to-force-eject-a-stuck-dis c--mac-31662
A persons reply to his fix with imac "Wuce Brillis • 2 years ago A while ago i got a physically stuck disc in my iMac, after all the above methods it was still stuck. Eventually, after a lot of searching on the web, I got it out fairly easy with a business card which I slid in the tray. Maybe this will help someone"
the last thing you can do is end up opening up the imac and void warrenty, if you have apple care, use that and ask at a local apple store to see if they can get the disc out etc.

Is it possible to retrieve the broken motherboard and get a replacement.

Hello everyone, I'm desperate for help now. I just had a look with this forum today and realised many people have been suffering the same sudden death issue of Z3C.I know the original post was too long so I edited it
I experienced the same issue in last December, at first it was the motherboard issue so they got it replaced but when they tried to set it up the screen was broken, so I have no idea how long I have to wait. I just want to say It had been a joy and wonderful experience to use the phone so there were actually a lot of important information and memorable things kept in the phone which I would die for, I even tried to request that would it be possible to have the damaged motherboard back or could they at least try to restore the datas back to the phone. If anyone has done similar thing before and managed to complain through email please let me know the email I will be very appreciate!

Spoiler (Highlight to read)
I bought this phone in the end of last September and this is speaking from a proud loyal user of Sony products and I have owned wide range of products like Bravia television, home theater system, and Playstations, they have been a great pleasure to me. Before the release of Z3 Compact, I was desperately looking for a small sized phone with capability of good performance until I saw the advertising of Z3 Compact, so I had finally found a phone that best suited my every needs. I'd been enjoying every single feature of the phone but it was only 2 months since I bought it then the phone died suddenly when I woke up the next morning and I had an important meeting that day. Due to the problem of course I could not make it in the end. I had done everything I could but the phone could not be turned on at all, so there was entirely no way for me to back up everything before I sent it to repair. I could say it was very unfortunate for me because I have many friends who are still using high-end Xperia phones like Z2 and they are still running fine even until this day.
Finally I got a call few weeks ago so I thought I could finally get it after such a long wait. Instead I was told that it was the mainboard issue so a new one got replaced, but when they tried to set up the phone they noticed the screen was broken, so they had to deliver it again to the headquarter of repair centre in Kuala Lumpur. I have been waiting for nearly two months. Most importantly is that I have to study overseas next month so what should I do if the same problem happens again? Therefore I asked for a replacement and they said they would try for it and wait for approval from their manager but chances are very low.
For quite sometime I have been looking for the email of customer support but so far I could only manage to get the contact number, seriously Sony? Maybe it was my mistake but I just couldn't find the email contact except for regions like US and Europe since those regions are far more popular compared to where I am, a country that probably no one has ever heard of-Malaysia. I know it's no luck to seek for support from Sony Malaysia, so I was actually trying to look for international office for Asia region, but so far I could only find Australia and Hong Kong, therefore I gave it a try but it appeared to be an error link that led to nowhere.
Since I couldn't find the email at all I was given no choice but to call the customer support. I was really frustrated and unsatisfied with the solution they offered during the first call, saying that if the phone breaks again I can only bring it back from overseas to the repair centre in my home country just to get it fixed whenever I have the chance to go back.

Although I know I can't do anything with it but who knows maybe someday there is someone expert enough in IT can lend me a hand in such case. I know it's their policy to not return the damaged parts to customers but it's only my very little request even if they can't get me a replacement.
Since Sony is such a giant corporation, hasn't there been any solution they can offer since most users of Z3C are experiencing the same issue? Instead of raging my disappointments through internet which could spread false information and negatively affect the reputation, I hope this is the best way to solve my problems and let everyone knows.
I'm sorry if the post is too long but this is the best way to express my feeling. If anyone has similar experience or knows the email, please let me know and any help provided will be much appreciated.

Sorry to hear that, but this forum is for us, users, and what you need is someone from Xperia Care to find your motherboard and send it back, I don't think it'll be possible to retrieve any data from a broken motherboard.

For reasons best left unsaid, in a recent rebuild of my iMac andTime Capsule, I lost all my photos. I do however currently have them on my iPad. Is it possible to retrieve all my photos from the iPad back to iPhotos (now Photos) on my iMac?

For reasons best left unsaid, in a recent rebuild of my iMac and Time Capsule, I lost all my photos. I do however have them all currently on my iPad. Is it possible to retrieve my photos from the iPad back to iPhotos (now Photos) on my iMac?

have the photos on the iPad been taken with the iPad camera or imported using the camera connection kit?
Or have they been synced to the iPad with iTunes?
You can download any photos to your mac by connecting the iPad by USB to to your Mac and import to Phots, but this way only photos from the Camera Roll will be imported. If your photos have been synced with iTunes, you can only mail them to your mac.
See: iOS: Syncing photos using iTunes
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures taken by your device, or saved to it, from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device, email the photos from the device to yourself. Then download the photos from the emails to your computer.

Is it possible to retrieve 1000 photos that have been photostreamed thru to my mac from my daughter in Europe but not saved on my mac. These same photos have been deleted from my daughters ipad in Europe ?

If the photos have been deleted from Photo Stream, then they are gone unless they have been saved elsewhere. Are they not in the Camera Roll of the iOS device they were taken on?
Photo Stream is not a permanent storage solution. It stores up to the last 1000 photos taken on an iOS device for a maximum of 30 days.
