I'm visiting new York(USA) for work on Sunday, just wanted to know if i can buy an un locked iphone from the apple store or not, since i'm not a resident, to the record we don't have an apple store at my country

I'm visiting new York(USA) for work on Sunday, just wanted to know if i can buy an un locked iphone from the apple store or not, since i'm not a resident, to the record we don't have an apple store at my country.

You can buy an unlocked iPhone at any of the 5 Apple stores in NYC. All are open on Sunday. Note a couple of things, however:
US iPhone 5's will work on 3G in the rest of the world, but not on LTE because the US phones use different channels than other countries
Be sure you say "unlocked", not "no contract"
If it breaks it must be returned to a US store for repair, and if shipped to Apple it must be from and to a US address

Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress)

Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress). Never had this problems before and I have reseted it once or twice since changing emailadress on the Apple-ID.

Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer. You back up to iCloud over wifi. All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup. You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud.

HT1349 Why does iPhone ask for apple password after rebooting?

Why does iPhone ask for apple password after rebooting? It just started to do that recently. I've had iPhone5 for several months now and it just started to do that.
Before I could reboot without having to type apple ID password to start using my phone.

Could be part of Apple's new security procedures that were implemented this past week.

Bluetooth locking issue ( ideas for apple)

Hi Everybody, i know there are many posts that deal with all the problems of the pod touch individually. But i wanted to make this post about a particular problem that i know it annoys lots of the ipod touch users and that's the bluetooth locking in both the ipod touch & the iphone. i know that apple has allowed some developers to create apps like ( bluetooth photo share ) that, as the name implies, allows the sharing of photos between ipod touches and iphones ONLY. but that's just scratching the surface. bluetooth is a very powerful communication technology that must be put to use to its full extend. i know apple doesn't allow the file sharing using bluetooth due to possible copyrights infringements that may occur and i'm totally with the idea (developers must get the earnings of their hard work and if you can't afford it many other free alternatives are available), but everybody knows that official files ( legally purchased files ) such as mp3s, movies, apps ,..... all have DRM protection included. so why can't apple work a little bit more to develop a software that can determine the DRM protected files and prohibit its transfer or sharing and at the same time allowing me to share a video that i recorded or a song that i remixed with my friends using bluetooth ? also why is the bluetooth functionality limited between ipod touch & iphone only ? it is a technology invented to allow easy sharing between all types of devices ( notebooks,mobilephones,headphones,....) so it should allow file transfer between ipod & iphone & PCs & notebooks & mobil phones ,....!!! at last i'd like to point out that i'm not in any way criticizing apple in a hatred manner, but i'm trying to deliver some ideas that may help apple overcome the shortcoming of the ipod touch & iphone and keeping them the best selling products in their respective categories. i'm so sorry for the length of the post and any misspellings found. hope to hear replies from users and apple officials soon : )

You won't hear from Apple officials here, this is a peer-to-peer support site and polls are not allowed so your post may not stay here.
To send ideas/feedback about the iPhone go here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Developers use the PAN Bluetooth protocol for tethering and photo exchange/game playing between devices.
iTunes Music no longer has DRM. I could be wrong but I do not believe the BT file transfer protocol can differentiate between the type of file that is being exchanged.

Locked iphone 4 with apple id

Someone sold me an iphone 4. i thought it was his but it wasn't.The problem is that it has an apple id that i dont know.What can i do for it? Is there any way to unlock it?

Nope. Without that info you won't be able to activate the phone...called Activation Lock, & there is no way around it.
Return the phone & get your money back, because without this info all you'll own is a paperweight.
Apple can't/won't help you.

Lower the video resolution on iphone 5 for Apple TV?

Can you lower the video resolution on iPhone 5 so that it will play on Apple TV. Now it takes forever for a short video to buffer. I know I can convert it to a lower resolution myself - once the video is complete - but many videos, such as kids' birthday parties are fine at lower resolution, and I'd love to be able to show them immediately on TV.

Which kind of iOS you have
if iOS 7.1 then it's software issue and many users complaining from its battery life
I hope apple fix this issue in the next update
for now you can disable any settings that running and you aren't using it (apps/games, wifi, bluetooth...etc)
only keep what you need.

Lock iphone screen with apple logo

My iphone screen is lock and it displays the apple log and won't turn off.

My 3Gs did the same thing this last week - I thought it was a goner, but after it completely discharged, I was able to restore it using iTunes.
Maybe this will help, maybe not. It is a difficult thing to show patience with this device!

Iphone asks for Apple ID and password

When playing some older Itunes purchased songs on my Iphone I get asked for my Apple ID/password. When I enter my current ID/passsword it will not allow me to play these songs. Any thoughts?

Hello there, shadfly.
Is it, potentially, that you may have purchased the affected songs with another Apple ID? A great Knowledge Base article that always helps me out is:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
Particularly what follows:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.

IPhone asks for Apple ID password which isn't mine?

Hi how's it going?
Is is on behalf of my friend..(not very techy)
She has an iPhone 4 and is running iOS 5, today she told me that it has started asking her for passwords to Apple IDs she has never heard of and used,
It occurs after she unlocks the phone and now has started doing it randomly.
She has not used anyone else computer to sync it, and she is logged on to her account on the computer and on the iTunes/app store on the iPhone, there are no current downloads on the computer or the phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The same thing is happening to me too and I have no idea why!

Music, iPhone asks for apple id and password when playing music.

My iPhone 5 keeps asking for my apple id and password when playing an album or any song purchased through iTunes Store. Not only does it ask for it for the first song, but every one after that. Any ideas?

Iphone asks for Apple id and password when I have not initiated anything to justify this.

I recently signed up for iCloud and also findmyiphone. I wonder if this could be the cause and if so how to stop it.

Locked iPhone 5

I don't travel outside my country and I used to use only one carrier so is the locked iPhone suitable for me or there are other disadvantages that I don't know?

To be official, only the carrier the iPhone is locked to can unlock it.

My iPhone 4 lock button broke, will Apple fix/replace it for free under the one year warranty?

I've had my iPhone 4 for just under a year now and a couple weeks ago the lock button broke. At first, it was just difficult to press down and now it's just completely stuck. I've been using the assistive touch but it's kind of a hassle. I still have a few days left of my one year warranty, so if I went to the Apple Store would they fix/replace my phone for free or would I have to pay? Also, I was having issues with my speakers previously so I went to get it fixed and they said my phone has water damage and I would need to pay to fix it. Will the water damage effect them fixing my lock button too or is it different? Any advice/guidence is greatly appreciated!

If there is water damage then they will likely conclude that your issues are a result of that and you will have to pay.
But don't ask us, ask them. We're users and this have no idea what Apple will say in your case.

I have brought an Apple iphone 4 from Apple store Arndale house for use any network, but this phone is locked with vodafone. Please suggest, how to unlock this phone to use all other network in other country?

Dear Team,
i had brought a APPLE IPHONE4 from APPLE STORE, MANCHESTER ARNDALE. new cannon street mall.
when i was visiting for purchasing this device the sales team told me that the phone is unlocked and can use all around the world with any other network when i'm trying to use it other network it showed that NO SERVICE(at network issue) and then i made a call 2 apple customer support so the executive told me that this device has been locked with VODAFONE UK network. this was the FAKE commitment of sales team also its a CHEATING i must say that.
i'm very much disapointed and dissatiesfied with the APPLE STORE sales team...
kindely look toward and give me solution.
thanks,
regard,
Nishant Kumar

I had read that thanks but many happy owners of locked iPhones
claim to have bought from an Apple store they do not actually mean
Apple Retail
Arndale Centre is one of the largest Malls in Europe and every vendor of iPhones is there
Apple retail in UK ONLY sell unlocked iPhones unless you opt for a contract at a reduced price
not something you can do accidently as in sim free in US
But thanks for you guidance
