My factory unlocked I phone 4 had the power chip corrupted and there is no apple store around here (Jordan : middle east) so a guy fixed it for me , now i cant activate any sim on the device though it was working before , please help

it opens now but i cant pass the activation screen ....

Since you purchased the device in the US, you are correct that the coverage is only good there. However, whether there was something wrong with the phone before, since you have dropped it, there is no way for Apple to know there was a problem before. If you were to visit an Apple store, after making an appointment, you may be offered an out of warranty replacement, but that would probably be it. Since you are only going to be in the US for a short period of time, you are stuck. Either find an Apple store, or leave it with someone in the states that can have it repaired/replaced and have them send it back to you.
You have found the biggest problem with purchasing devices outside of the country you are going to use them in.

    You can only obtain warranty OR post warranty service in the country of original purchase
    As your iPhone has user damage it has no warranty
    IF the iPhone originated from Spain or another EU country you can get out of warranty service in any EU country

    The warranty is only valid in the country where you bought the phone. To get it serviced by Apple, you'll have to bring it back personally, Apple does not ship internationally.
    If you can't bring it back to Apple in Canada, your only other chance is to search for a 3rd party repair shop. An Authorized Apple Service Provider in your country will not service the phone, sorry.

    Didn't want to make you feel like an Idiot. Just pointing otu that most all externals come, these days, formatted NTFS as the world runs on Windows computers and at least the last 2 Win OS version will only install and likes to use NTFS formatted drives. So most drive manufacturers Pre-Format their drive in that format.
    What do you mean "I'm Cloning Time Now"? I don't get the TIME reference?
    You Clone the install of OS X from a working Mac to the External. The Cloning willl make that external Bootable (It will boot on like Mac computers).
    Then when that is done disconnect that external and connect it to your Mac. Start your Mac and it should boot off that external. If it doesn't then Restart and hold down the Option key and select the external as the boot drive.
    Once the your Mac starts from the external the cloning program should already by running as it was running whenn the clone was made. Select the external as the source and your internal as the destination. you may want to shut the cloning program down and first use Disk Utility to Re-Partition your drive as One Partition.
    Hopefully that will get rid of the encryption you enabled and give you a clean freshly formatted drive to clone to.
    Then start up the cloniing software and do as pointed out above.

    Take it to an authorized service center or Apple Store in the country where the phone originated.  Apple does not sell iPhones in Pakistan, nor will they ship them to Pakistan.

    I REALLY NEED HELP PEOPLE I LOST MY ENTIRE CONTACT LIST AND NOW I CANT LOCATE THEM AND ITS VERY IMPORTANT THAT I GET THEM BACK PLEASE HELP

    What were you syncing your contacts with? iCloud? MS Exchange? Gmail? Yahoo? A contact app on your computer? If the answer is "none of the above" the only hope is to restore the most recent backup of your phone from either your computer or iCloud.

  • HT201270 I have followed the instructions provided in this article but none of them worked. I even tried getting a new sim, still my phone network goes no service most of the time. There is no apple store in Philippines and I feel so helpless.

    I live in the Philippines but my iPhone 4S was bought from Korea. There is no Apple store in my place and no one can help me fix my problem with my iPhone. I don't think Apple would replace my phone either despite the fact that it's still under warranty.
    My phone would normally go on "No Service" status since I updated to iOS 5.1, so I am not able to make/receive phone calls/messages most of the time. It's really frustrating especially because my iPhone is just 3 months old.
    Can anyone help me with my problem?
    - I have restored my iPhone's OS and didn't do any back up
    - Did reset network, reset all settings, among other resets available in my phone
    - Used a new sim card from my network provider
    - Used sim card from other network provider (since my phone is factory unlocked)
    All the abovementioned didn't work and I'm getting really frustrated.I never had this problem when I was using iPhone 4.
    Help me, please.

    Sounds like it's hardware issue. The iPhone warranty is based in the original country of purchase. Since it was bought in Korea you will need to ship the phone to someone you know in Korea to be taken in and then they will have to ship it back to you. The cost of shipping will be at your expense.

  • My iphone automatically locked and it does not open again,but if u call the sim that was inserted you will hear that it was active,so please help me how to open my iphone 4,no display appeared if you touch the switch button

    my iphone automatically locked and it does not open again,but if u call the sim that was inserted you will hear that it was active,so please help me how to open my iphone 4,no display appeared if you touch the switch button,

    Hello arlyn-cavite,
    If the screen is not showing anyting when you press any of the buttons you may want to try these steps.
    From article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I updated my iPhone 3G today and after the update it said on iTunes that my sim was not compatible and my iPhone screen went on to slide for emergency/connect to itunes. Ive tried restoring it but it hasnt worked. Please help!

    I updated my iPhone 3G today and after the update it said on iTunes that my sim was not compatible and my iPhone screen went on to slide for emergency/connect to itunes. Ive tried restoring it but it hasnt worked. Please help!

    Unless the iPhone was purchased  as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
    Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.
    Regards.

  • I am trying to download previous iTunes purchases to my iPad using the  cloud.  I had a mobile me account and I have another apple id.  I keep getting this message "This device is already associated with an Apple ID"

    I get this message "If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you cannot autodownload or download past purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days. 
    If I use my MobileMe login I have no purchases, so I am using my regular Apple ID.  I used my MobileMe login when setting up iCloud because it wanted an email address. 
    Please explain.

    The same thing happened to me because I had an Apple ID that was not an email address under which I had made all my purchases and a me.com address that I initially used to set up my iCloud account.  If you want to get all your purchases from the Cloud, then you need to do a couple of things:  first, change the Apple ID that you purchased all your stuff under to be an email address.  You can do that yourself by going to the page where you change your Apple ID.  I think it's applied.apple.com but if that's not it, just search for "My Apple ID" in the search box on the support page.  Sign in with your existing ID -- the one that is not an e-mail address -- and change it to an e-mail address.  Be sure to remember this Apple ID.  Then create your iCloud account using this Apple ID.  You should be able to get all your stuff to download using this account.
    The problem with this is now you will NOT have an iCloud account associated with your MobileMe account.  If you're OK with that, you're good to go.  I think you still have time to manually download all your stuff from MobileMe.
    Apple phone support walked me through this, so if my instructions are confusing you can call them and get them to walk you through it too.  It's a common problem.

  • Why with the new iOS 7 update does my music rewind a second once I unlock my phone? This is really annoying and they should fix it

    Why with the new iOS 7 update does my music rewind a second once I unlock my phone? This is really annoying and they should fix it

    Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion.  There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field.  if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it.  If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.
