My iPhone is from Israel and was locked to Orange.  Now I'm in the UK and Orange here tell me it's locked exclusively to Orange in Israel.  Can an iPhone be unlocked from a country without getting re-locked each time an update is downloaded?

If the iphone is locked to Orange in Israel then only Orange in Israel can authorise Apple to release the lock .No one else
However if you look here Orange in Israel appear not to lock iPhones they sell

  • Why do I have to use the drop down "Get Messages" option each time; msgs don't download automatically.

    I have checked with my Internet provider; all settings are set to 'download' at opening & every 5 minutes after that.

    Have you considered using either a jump drive or a portable hard-drive to back up your iTunes files?
    In the beginning, I was using a 8GB jump drive to back up my iTunes music folder. I ran out of space on that, so I purchased a 250GB portable hard drive and have been backing up my iTunes music folder on that. Very easy.....you just put the USB port of the hard-drive into your computer...COPY your iTunes music folder from the computer and PASTE it to the portable hard-drive.

  • Can I FaceTime someone from another country without being charged with international fees?

    Can I FaceTime someone from another country without being charged with international fees?

    here is how you actually do it put your phone in air plane mode you should see it when you open the settings app then go to wifi and turn it on this will let you use Imessage to text the person for free if they have a iPhone the same should apply for face time calling but since currently FaceTime can only be done over wifi it shouldn't charge you but the method above is what many would call a precaution ether way it should connect last resort download Skype face time app from app store setup account with both devices and you can chat over 3G or wifi without getting charged also enables connection for FaceTime to ios to android just in case any reader would like to connect to an android user that has a front facing camera.

  • I downloaded a song from i-tunes.  It plays on my computer, but won't play on my i-phone.  Any suggestions on how to fix this? Or how can I re-download the song without getting charged a second time.  I could not find an option to "report a problem".

    I could not find an option to "report a problem".
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • I am trying to burn a dvd. I created it on Imovie shared it to Idvd and am trying to burn it on a memorex dvd-r from my mac os x laptop. Each time it attempts to bunr and then ejects it early. Usually near the end. Please help.

    You will get better results if you use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option and then drag the movie from the Movies pane of the Media Browser in iDVD onto the menu window.
    Also I suggest you use this workflow which I learned from Bengt:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • I have rented a movie on my apple TV, and would like to have it available on my computer to watch. How do i watch it on my computer without getting charged again?

    I have rented a movie on my apple TV, and would like to have it available on my computer to watch. How do i watch it on my computer without getting charged again?

    You can't if your rented it on your Apple TV - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • If a photo is returned to me in a reply does it use additional storage? I am using Mac Book Pro w snow leopard 10.6.8 and an iPhone 4s iOs 5. Yes, eventually I'll free up time to update these. Thanks.

    Uh uh, I see!
    Also it seems I can use my time machine backup:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Assistant_(Apple)
    together with Migration Assistant. This would work. Thanks
    Now I need to figure out the Windows part. I need a full backup of Windows as well, with all the programs. In particular I need to be sure I can maintain the graphic card drivers.
    You don't want to know how long took for me to find out how the **** I could update my graphic card drivers in Windows on my Macbook pro. Unfortunately there was a lot of misleading propaganda from Apple about bootcamp, saying that the new intel processor would have worked fine with Windows. Sad that everything was a lie. When installing Windows with bootcamp the graphic card program was unable to find and install the graphic card drivers update . Took me 2 weeks reading through thousands of angry posts of disappointed costumers to find out how to do that. I do not want to reapeat this dreadful experience.
    After one year and a half with my Macbook pro I have a system I am TERRIFIED to touch. It is very very fragile, and any little change can destroy everything. It barely works. that's why I am so scared to re-install the OS

  • I am trying to install update 11.0.06 for my Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, but without success multiple times.Get error 1603 each time,

    I am trying to install update 11.0.06 for my Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, but without success multiple times.Get error 1603 each time. I have tried disabling my antivirus software without success. I have looked for solutions to error 1603, and have tried what it suggests (empty temp files in Windows, etc.), also without success.There is nothing that mentions Window 8 or 8.1 operating system, though. Is this the issue? Please help.

    Hi Dawn,
    We might want to have a look at the install logs to determine the cause.
    Please try the following basic steps :
    > Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref :  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
    > Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
    > Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
    Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

  • QuestionJust purchased a USB Super Drive but unsure how to use it - o instructions provided apart from how to eject a cd.  Each time I put in a cd it just ejects it again.

    Just purchased a USB Super Drive but unsure how to use it - o instructions provided apart from how to eject a cd.  Each time I put in a cd it just ejects it again.Can anyone help.

    USB is rarely bootable under Mac OS X and PowerPC Macs.   Get a Firewire Superdrive from http://www.macsales.com/ if your intent is to boot the machine.   PPC, which is PowerPC, indicates the Mac predates 2006.

  • Each time i try to download anything from itunes it says invalid security code

    each time i try to download from itunes it says invalid security code

    This same issue bothered me for years. The account I had used to purchase iTunes songs with suddenly stopped working. And always it was the same error about the security code.
    I talked to iTunes support, my bank and the eCommerce customer support for my Visa card. No one could ever tell me what it was until this year. I tried for years, literally years, to figure it out. I had to buy iTunes gift cards and that was not convenient for me. But thankfully, someone who worked in the credit department of a major online retailer, finally explained it to me.
    Small banks, sometimes large banks, often don't opt to offer debit and credit cards that use Visa's stronger security, which is advertised as "Verified By Visa". Not all stores and online shops use this security method during their checkout process, but iTunes does. (Amazon, for example, does not require it)
    So any error having to do with the security code means that Apple's iTunes shopping cart requires the stronger security method and does not accept the older 3-digit security code on the back of the regular Visa debit and credit cards. You would want to see which of your cards is supporting Verified By Visa security, and use one of those. The card you are currently using will never be accepted, no matter how many people tell you to carefully check your billing and account addresses and spelling, etc.
    So get a Verified by Visa card, or use MasterCard.

    I have iphone3gs with ios 4.1 an i want update ios 6 ... Once i update dis bt my phone was locked so how i update dis

    Contact whichever cell carrier it is now locked to and find out their official unlock policy and whether you qualify.
    If you don't know who it is locked to you can call AppleCare and give them the model and serial number.
