Is there a way to discover the original provider?

I bought my iphone online, but it's simlocked. Apparently only the original provider can remove the simlock, but I dont know who it is. Is there a way to discover this provider (through IMEI or other data from the phone)? I am searching for a legal way (which probably involves paying for the unlocking), but it would really suck if I bought an iphone which I can't even use ...

Call AppleCare or go to an Apple store. You can also use the "Expres Lane":

Be aware: Most carriers that offer unlocking will only do so for the last person to use the phone on their network, which obviously is not you.

    recently "lost" a purchased song, (Plus the accompanying artwork) from my i-tunes library, after upgrading my O.S. from windows XP to windows 7.
    Is there any way to get the original song back, or, at least, re-purchase it?... I tried to do the latter, (It's still available in the itunes store) but, when I clicked on the buy link, I was informed that I had already bought it and was only given the option to, either, copy the link or send it to Facebook/Twitter
    I also, inadvertently, deleted a couple of default playlists (Notably recently added) while attempting to get the song back.
    Can someone out there, please, help me out. with the solution(s). (preferably step by step if possible, as I'm a bit of a Homer Simpson when it comes to this sort of thing) .. Doh!! :-(

    I am trying to crop faces from old family group photos and paste them on to records in Family Tree Maker. When I do this, the pasted cropped image reverts to the original of the entire family. Is there a way of unlinking the original version from the cropped image?

    Are you copying the cropped images directly from Aperture's Browser window and then pasting into your family tree?
    It would be safer to export the cropped faces as new image files to a folder on your disk, and then drag them from there to the "Family Tree" window.
    To export select the cropped image versions in Aperture's browser and use the command "File > Export > Version". Select a suitable export preset from the pop-up menu, for example "Jpeg fit into ..." and select a folder to export to.

  • Is there a way to overwrite the ORIGINAL songs with my iTunes library info?

    Hi there,
    I would like to know if there is a way to overwrite the original songs with my iTunes library info? What I mean is, I have MANY songs that I have transferred to iTunes (and were obviously not purchased from iTunes) and I always put the info (such as the album name, the album art, artist, composer, etc.) and it leaves the original song (like the songs that are in "My music" section that is in "My Documents") with the same info. For example : The song that I put into the library will be "chamiionaire feastureing flip"... and in the iTunes, I put it as "Chamillionaire ft. Lil Flip". How do I make it so that it replaces the "original" info (located in my documents) with the info I put in?

    Same question. Used to have an iPod. Lost it (best digital player ever), now I use other portable device. The mp3 files have their id3tag edited in the original file, but the .m4a don't!.
    Want to know someway to write the info from the library to the original .m4a files.

  • Is there a way to retain the original date after editing?

    I am using PSE 11 on a MacBook Pro, OS X (10.3). I have a lot of old pictures to edit, and they are in date order, which is how I want them.
    However, when I edit a picture and save it, it moves it to the bottom, with today's date instead of the original date.  I have them set to save with the original as a version set.
    Is there any way to retain the orignal dates, short of having to go in and reset the date on every picture after I save it?  I really want them to be in date order under their original dates.
    BTW, I used earlier versions that were Windows-based, and this didn't happen.  When I saved them, the version sets stayed where they were.
    This is really frustrating!

    SK Prairie Chicken a écrit:
    I'd like an answer to this too.
    What's your problem exactly?
    The 'date taken' is never changed by editing a picture.

  • Is there a way to discover the serial number of the battery that came with my Blackberry?

    I had a trusted family friend bring my 8520 Curve to his brother-in-law to fix a problem with it. However, when I got it today, I noticed that the battery in my phone has been changed.
    I don't have proof of it but I know it's not my battery. So, is there a way to know the serial number of my battery? I still have the box my phone came with.
    Please please please help. It's important to me.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Typically, when you receive a new device, the battery is in a separate plastic wrap, with a label on it keeping it sealed. If you still have that, then it might (stress might) have the S/N on that label. Otherwise, there is no way to retrieve the data you desire.
    Good luck!

  • I do not have Aperture installed on my computer anymore but I do have my old library.  Is there any way to extract the ORIGINAL image from the library without having Aperture installed?

    I started using Aperture back when it first came out.  I really had no idea what I was doing when I set everything up.  I got a new computer but do not have my Aperture disc anymore but I do have my old library.  I can get into the library and find the pictures in the Preview and Thumbnails folders, but these obviously are not the original pictures.  The ones in the Preview folder are only 10% of the size of the original digial photo.  I want to know if there is any way to get or reconstruct the original picture using the files in the library without installing Aperture.

    Hi Refringgers,
    Install the 30 day trial of Aperture. Open your Aperture Library, export the Masters and Versions.
    Other than that I will make a strong recommendation not to muck within the Aperture library. Yes, you can find your photos in there, but if you ever decide to again use it may well be unable to be opened. The other thing is the photos are scattered around in a gazillion folders it would take a long time, of course depending on the number of photos, to retrieve them.
    Cordially,
    RicD

  • Is there any way to restore the original function buttons on the main bar?

    I'm used to having my 'Stop Loading', 'Home', 'Reload' buttons to the left of the address bar... Is there any way in FF 4 to add those buttons back to the bar?
    I get the concept of chasing the 'awesome bar' concept, but some of us prefer to have more direct and immediate control of these functions, rather than having someone else spoon-feed over simplified controls to us.

    That took care of it! But a caution to anyone wanting to do the same things: Make sure you know the exact name of your Persona if you use one, cause if you use the Strata XP plugin to restore the colors to your function buttons, because when you use the plugin, it will eliminate your current Persona... At least as far as I can tell- I can't find the original setup of my old Persona, so am now having to search for it all over again... :'(

  • Audio ducking : is there a way to hide the original footage's sound? Its grey-ed out.

    My original footage's audio needs to be removed. I would love to just take it out but if I need to cover it up with ducking thats ok too. How do I hide the original footage's sound? I turned each clip to 0% but its not working.

    Tim,
    You might try including the IFERROR function in your expression. This will suppress the error message.

  • Is there a way to track the origin of an iMessage?

    I've been receiving messages from an email address through iMessage and was wondering if there's any way to locate where the messages are coming from? Not to a specific degree.. finding out the country the messages are coming from would be useful.

    No. Email address don't have to be tied to any particular geographic location. If you are being threatened, contact law enforcement. They would be able to contact the email service provider and, possibly, with the appropriate court orders, get that information.

  • Is there a way to delete the original photos from the library?

    As Larry says, No.
    Plus if you do you defeat the non-destructive editing feature, lose the ability to revert to your original file and so on. If you don't want these features the best I can suggest is to use a different application.

  • IWeb domain is gone.. is there a way to reload the domain without the file?

    My hard drive crashed and died and with it went the original domains for iWeb in the Application Support folder in the Library.
    The iWeb websites are still up and running on line. Is there a way to create the original domain icon in iWeb without the original domain icon in the Application Support folder in the Library?
    Or do you have to completely rebuild the website in iWeb. If I have to rebuild the entire website how do I get rid of the working website on Safari?
    JKai

    Thank you for your answer. It was as I feared when told the same thing by the Apple One to One supporters in Hawaii. It's a good thing these past websites were still in the early stages and not fully engaged.
    Would you happen to know how to delete the working website online?

  • HT4972 I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer?

    I replaced the computer I originally used to synch my iPhone. When trying to update to iOS5.0, I get the message stating that my content will be erased, even though this is the computer I now synch my phone with. Is there a way to make the update recognize the new computer so that my content will be kept?

    The best option is to copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.  This will allow iTunes on your new computer to recognize and sync with your phone without deleting content.  You will also need to copy over any other synced data not in your iTunes library such as photos synced to your phone, calendars and contacts.
    If you can't do this, these articles will help you start syncing with your new computer with minimal or no data loss:
