My brother used his Verizon Wireless SIM to activate my factory unlocked iphone 5s. Now, I can't access the cellular data network option to change APN settings for my new carrier. Already tried configuration utility and factory resets.

So as the title says, after I got my iPhone 5s from apple, factory unlocked, my brother used his sim card in it for a moment to allow it to be registered and usable on WIFI until I made it to Japan. Now that I have a data SIM card, I have to input specific APN settings, which are located in settings>cellular>cellular data network, however, cellular data network is not available as an option. I have reset the phone multiple times with and without backups and with and without the new sim in the phone. I have also used the configuration utility to try to put the APN settings in the phone. I contacted Apple and they didn't really have an answer as to what i should do. My brother checked his Verizon account and my phone does not show up as one of his devices, so right now I'm stuck with and incredibly expensive iPod. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to remedy this? I am unable to contact Verizon via telephone myself as I have no phone service. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

You only have to clone your mac when using certain cable modem. You don't clone your mac when using dsl.

HT201699 My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?

Yes ATT hides the APN settings so when you try to use a st sim it automatically reads on AT&T network so the APN settings are hidden and cannot be accessed however you can go to apn.straighttalk.com on you'r phone and select APN/data settings then select AT&T then iPhone and a screen will pop up asking if you would like to install the profile for whatever reason it's not verified but works fine. You can also go to www.unlockit.co.nz and set up a straight talk APN profile that is verified not sure exactly what that means but both work to get the data working on the phone for straight talk but it does not make the MMS work. There are a couple other methods I have read about one is on howardforums using ibackupbot to manually change the files on the phone I haven't been able to get mine to stick using that method but other people have and there is a sim swap method to trick the phone to reveal APN settings using a tmobile sim I have not tried this but other people have with success. The last two methods mentioned will make both data and MMS work

The question mark means the computer cannot find a bootable volumes so can;t do anything, That, combined with annoying sounds, strongly suggests a failed hard drive.
You can ask a "genius" at an Apple Rtail Store to test it but I'm pretty sure the drive is kaput. I'm hoping you had your data backed up.

I've updated my iphone 3gs from iOS 5 to iOS 6 and now I can't access the internet on 3g, can anybody help??

I've updated my iphone 3gs from iOS 5 to iOS 6 and now I can't access the internet on 3g, can anybody help??

I don't follow your instructions... mine goes Settings->General->Cellular and from there it's just on/off options for Cellular Data, Enable 3G, Data Roaming, etc. Or I could go Settings->General->Profile APN Carrier Settings but when I click that it just shows as verified but no Visual Voice APN or MMS Settings. If I click More Details it goes to Signing Certificate which has a bunch of parameters for unlockit.co.nz but I am unable to change anything.
I just updated my iphone 3GS to IOS 6 and my internet (wifi and 3G), voice and text all work, but the only thing I can't do is send/receive pictures via text message. I am using At&t prepaid sim. I tried turning off the phone completely but I'm trying to avoid a complete restore.. at least until I can understand the problem better! Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you!

After the last update I lost a lot of documents I had edited and saved in my tablet. Any option to recover them? Now I can only access the documents of the cloud.

I forget the lock code and now I can not access the iphone. What I can do?

I forget the lock code and now I can not access the iphone. I try to restore it, but ask me to go to iphone settings to which I have no access and I can not download the latest version of iOS to do it.
Thanks!

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

Contact whoever you got it from. If they can't or won't remove the lock, get your money back. If they won't do that, or you can't contact them, turn it over to the police. It's probably stolen.
There is no way to bypass the activation lock.

When is the factory unlocked iPhone 5 going to be released in the US?

I really want to buy the iPhone 5, but my dad will only get the unlocked version. When is the factory unlocked iPhone 5 going to be released in the US?

When Apple announces it.

Factory unlocked iPhone 4 now locked!!

Hey guys,
I bought this iphone 4 from uk, its a 32gb white factory unlocked iphone. MC606B. When i bought it there was no cydia or anyother app that suggested that it wud be a locked piece. I brought it to india and it worked fine. I just updated my iphone 4 from 4.3.3 to ios 5 and now it says that the sim card inserted in this phone does not appear to be supported!!! the error msg says SIM_LOCKED.
Is it possible for it to get locked again.
As far as i know all the MC606B builds r factory unlocked.
Plz help
what can i do about it??

Where in the UK did you purchase it?
The model number is NOT a reliable indicator of the carrier lock status.
If you did not purchase it from a corporate Apple Store, then it was probably hacked, not factory unlocked.

My ipad4 went into restore mode,cause was software crash. Genius rebooted it erasing everything,now I can't access my email. When I try to sign in it says account is already added

I would go to managing your Apple ID at this website and see if your information is all correct, first ...
https://appleid.apple.com/
You'll see if you can sign in on managing your Apple ID, and then if you can, you can see if your information is all correct, and then ... you should be able to go back and do it, since you've verified your information.

I've bought a new remote for my apple TV and now I can't access the menu

I just bought a new remote for my Apple TV since I lost the original one. Now I cannot access the menu as all I get is the standard "screen saver". Even then, sometimes it won't even turn on, so I have to unplug it and wait two minutes and then plug it back in. Regardless if I do that or not...........the best I ever get is the screen saver.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

Can i use my family mobile SIM card in a purchased unlocked iphone 4s

if so how?

If it fits, yes. Power the phone off, pop the SIM drawer using the SIM tool found in the box (or a straightened paper clip), put the SIM chip on it and close. The phone will pick it up when you power it back on. For details of what kind of SIM chip can be used and how to place it on the drawer, read the manual (chap. 2).

I have just got the iphone 4s and have been using the siri option, the problem is mine wont find me business etc in the UK it says that it can only search for business in the US. do i have to change any settings for this to pick up UK based items?

I have just recieved the Iphone 4s and have updated it etc, i have just started to use the SIRI app which is great but when i want to search for say business etc it says it can only search for these based in the US. Im in the UK and have found this a little frustrating not being able to search for things locally.
Is there a setting i have to change or update.
Can anyone help??

Apple haven't yet signed agreements with yell.com and similar local information services here in the UK or in europe. The rumor is that in the UK and others, will get it sometime towards the beginning of the year.

My brother used his Verizon Wireless SIM to activate my factory unlocked iphone 5s. Now, I can't access the cellular data network option to change APN settings for my new carrier. Already tried configuration utility and factory resets.
