My iphone is still locked to my old carrier

my iphone is still locked to my old carrier

If you are just stating a fact then I agree it is locked to your old carrier. If you are asking about unlocking then only the carrier can do that for you ...contact them ans ee if they offer unlocking

Hi Terri571,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
See these steps for setting up Wi-Fi syncing between your iPhone and new computer:
iOS: Syncing with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.
Best,
Jeremy

Once back from Apple repair, is my iPhone 5 still locked to my Apple ID?

Once back from Apple repair (sleep/wake button replacement), is my iPhone 5 still locked to my Apple ID? I have a 6 now and I want to sell my 5, but I don't want to sell it before knowing whether or not it is locked to my Apple ID and can't be used by a new user. Thanks.

How do you not know if you're using your own Apple ID on the device?
If you're wanting to erase it completely and sell it, then read this: [What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad ...]

Is a apple replaced iphone still locked to my cellular carrier?

I want to give my (out of contract) old Iphone to my child. It was replaced at an Apple Genius Bar appointment. Will it still be locked to my original carrier, or can She use it on any network?

If it was originally locked then the replacement is also locked.

Hello All,
To unlock my iPhone 4, I was sent a request to AT&T and got an answer what iPhone will be unlocked in 24 hours. After 24 hours I run iTunes and seen congratulation – you iPhone is unlocked. Next, I save a phones content, install iOS 6 and restore a content using iTunes.
However, iPhone’s behavior is as it is still locked – “no SIM” message in the top-left corner and calls only via GEVEY Technology. Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot

Lost data on my Mac after it got reset but my iPhone is still synced to the old version of my Mac?

So, during an awful visit to the Apple store in which the "genius" completely reset my Macbook Pro (10.8.5) because it decided to go "turtle mode" for no reason whatsoever, I lost all my data and files on it. After putting whatever I had backed up back on the Macbook, I put some new things on my iTunes and tried syncing the Mac's iTunes and my iPhone 5 ios7's iTunes. However my iPhone was synced to the older version of my Mac before it crashed and got wiped out. I got this message:
The iPhone “___” is synced with another iTunes library on “___”. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
Is there any way I can get my lost data back onto my laptop with my iPhone? Or if there isn't and I sync the new version of my Mac with the iPhone, will my iPhone lose any data to match my Mac?
thanks

On your iPhone go to Settings > Store.
Select the Apple ID at the bottom.
Select Sign Out at the menu selection provided.
Follow this by signing in with your new Apple ID/iTunes store account.
All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. In order to install an app update for the apps downloaded with your previous Apple ID/iTunes account, you will need to use that account and password.

If it's still asking for the seller's Apple ID and password, then he most likely did not actually remove the iPhone from iCloud. If the problem persists, return the iPhone and get your money back. The seller can figure out the problem and resell the iPhone later.
Regards.

Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
Note: Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID other than the one they were originally obtained with.

I recently changed my Apple ID to a new email address. My old one still is in my phone, and cannot be permanently deleted as it says that Find my iPhone is still on. I can't turn it off because I do not have the password to my old "deleted" Apple ID.
