  • Using a non-contract iPhone from the US in Europe

    Hello! Could anyone tell me, whether it would be possible to use the iPhone 4 bought in an Apple Store in the United States, in a country like Slovakia/Czech Republic?
    And the non-contract prices $599 for 16GB and $699 for 32GB are for the iPhone 4, or iPhone 3GS?
    Thank you!

    Jim,
    I had a similar question since I am heading to France in a couple of weeks. My iPhone works fine in Canada on a roaming basis, even tho' the carrier there, Rogers, doesn't have an agreement with AT&T. So are you saying the iPhone will not work, period, in Europe, not even on a roaming basis?
    I had the impression when I originally purchased it that it would work fine in Europe since it uses the GSM standard, as Europe does.

  • How to use a non-US  iPhone in the USA?

    I'll be traveling in the US for 3 months, but do not want to use my Austria-based "Orange" provider's SIM card because of astronomical 'roaming' charges, especially for data.
    I asked my provider Orange whether they would officially sim-unlock my iPhone if I prepaid the rest of my 2 years contract (5 months to go) plus the €40 unlock fee, but they declined, saying that Apple does not allow locked iPhones to be unlocked before the 2-year contract is over. ?!?
    I now have used Cydia to jailbrake and and blackra1n to sim-unlock my iPhone (vers. 3.2) : another SIM card now works (although I also experience a sluggish iPhone, but that was even before the jailbrake!!!).
    My question: What plans (for voice AND data) are available in the USA that do NOT require a long-term contract, but say a monthly fee for as long as you use it? Who provides these, and what procedures are required to get it work?
    Thanks for pointers and suggestions.
    Cheers, Veit

    You have two choices:
    Rent a sim from these folks(their sims are in fact AT&T sims):
    http://www.iphonetrip.com/
    Or, purchase a pay as you go sim from TMobile. You'll be able to use voice & data, but data only on their edge network as their 3G system is NOT compatible with the iphone. Their coverage is also significantly less than AT&T's.
    AT&T & TMobile are the only GSM providers in the US. AT&T stopped letting iphones use pay as you go sims for data on their network sometime in the middle of last year. So, while you could buy n AT&T pay as you go sim, all you'll get is voice with your iphone. Iphonetrip is most likely the best way to go.
    Have a good trip! Get your phone "officially" unlocked & get the hacks off of it. Trust me, you'll be better off in the long run.

  • Will there be a firefox version for the iphone in the future?

    Do think you can manage to bring out an firefox app for the iphone?
    Or are there any problems with apple deniing this app?...
    Thanks for answering my question.
    Greetz heyho!

    Greetings Unbekannt,
    Unfortunately, we do not have plans to build an iPhone browser due to constraints with the OS environment and distribution.

  • Non Camera Droids?

    I love tech toys like everyone else here, as soon as I started hearing rumors of the original Droid with the slide out keyboard I knew that's what I wanted to get (after many, many, full retail price purchases of "top dog" dumb phones). I love that phones are getting impressive cameras, and the idea of front facing cameras for video chat is, well, Back to the Future awesome status.
    Unfortunately, working for the Govt. where I work, I can't have a cameraphone. I bought a BB Bold 9650 non camera, and the BB system sucked so bad that paying the early termination fee was worth it to stop using it and get rid of the second line I added just for work. So, after going back to just my Droid on one line I ended up removing the lense cover on my Droid, drilled out the camera, and filled it with an epoxy rendering the camera PHYSICALLY disabled. That method of having a non camera phone is perfectly acceptable at work. I'm comfortable doing this to phones with rear only cameras, but front facing ones are going to be a different story I'm imagining.
    I'm in my upgrade window right now, but the only phone that I'm seeing that's a possibility is the Droid Pro, but there's 2 problems with that one - 1: it's got a traditional sucky BB layout for the keys, and 2: I can't confirm it actually has a non camera option. I've seen rumors, but nothing as far as options for ordering it that way.
    Are there any 'other' non camera Droid phones coming out? I know these are mainly consumer driven devices, thus they have 15 cameras strategically placed all over the phones, and if I could have one and bring it to work, believe me I would in a heartbeat... but is there anything on the horizon for those of us that have jobs that require security clearances?
    Thanks in advance..........

    I suspect the reason Verizon has not invested in the development of a non camera smartphone is the market is SOOOOOOOOO small for such a device, the price of the device would be ridiculous large for the consumer.

    Don't get me wrong, I still love my Droid and don't feel an overwhelming urge to swap it out for anything else just yet... my power button doesn't work quite right from time to time, but this phone has seen heavy use over the past year and hasn't let me down. I'm just kind of disappointed that the big V doesn't have many options concerning non camera phones. Besides, the Droid is probably the best phone they picked up so far... not loaded up with all that MotoBlur crap and apps you can't get rid of (useless bankrupt blockbuster video app anyone?). Maybe I'll go back to rooting this phone again and have fun like its brand new again.

  • Cannot import non-camera images onto mac

    I'm using the Xperia Z3 Compact with the 'Sony Bridge for Mac' software - I'm only using this software because no other software will even recognise the connected phone. It seems that software is the only way to import my images from the phone.
    HOWEVER my options seem to be "show camera photos only" or "show all photos". The "camera photos" exclude any images downloaded from apps, any edited images, any screenshots. The "all photos" lists a huge amount of images, so I can only assume it's including all kinds of temporary files - but it doesn't show thumbnails of any non-camera images. The program gives an error when I try to import any image without a thumbnail.
    Is there an alternative, better, EASIER way of getting all of my images onto my computer?!

  • How do I delete photos from my daughter's ipod that showed up on there when she got music from her aunt's itunes? Also how do I make sure none of my iphone pics show up on her ipod in the future (we use the same itunes account and I think same icloud).

    I'm totally new to iphone/ipod.  I need help with the following:
    1) How do I get rid of a folder of photos that showed up on my daughter's ipod touch when she received some songs from her aunt's itunes?  After she got some songs from that itunes a folder of pictures showed up with no delete option.  Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?
    2) Also, my daughter uses same itunes as myself, how do I make sure any pics I have on my iphone & icloud (itunes) don't show up on her ipod? I shut off my photostream so perhaps this is the solution.  But I noticed that a message I sent from her ipod to my sister (an iphone user) later showed up on my iphone (as if I had sent it from my iphone)! That was really odd. I'd like to keep our itunes account together simply so I can monitor her downloads, etc so I don't want to open up her own itunes to avoid automatic syncing.
    I only want to share music between our devices.  I don't want her pics nor my pics to go to icloud/itunes.
    Thank you!

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

  • How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone

    How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone 3gs without erasibng everything. i need help!!!

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • I want to show pictures from my iphone 4 on my television.  I have the cables but it will only show a few pics stored online, none of those on the camera roll.  Would it make a difference if I upgraded the ios to ios 7?

    I want to show pictures from my iphone 4 on my television.  I have the cables but it will only show a few pics stored online, none of those on the camera roll.  Would it make a difference if I upgraded the ios to ios 7?

    1, iOS only works on iPhone, iPads or iPods. These drives were probably made with an operating system that preceeded OS X such as OS 7, OS 8 or OS9.
    2, No, the data on the Zip Drives is formatted for the Mac.
    3, If your reformat them then all of the data is wiped
    4, The problem would be that the PC can not read the files as formatted on the zip drive by the Mac
    5, There are services that might be able to migrate the data for you but I seriously doubt that Staples or Office Max can do it for you. The services that migrate data charge big bucks so be prepared to pay for it.

  • After the 6.1 update on iphone 5 the camera virtual shutter won't open

    After the 6.1 update on iphone 5 the camera virtual shutter won't open so I cannot use the camera at all.
    I have tried most things suggested in the web like hard/soft shut down, reopen app, restore from backup. Any other suggestions? It should be a software problem right?

    The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
    Standard troubleshooting is:
    Re-boot the phone
    Restore the phone from your backup
    Restore the phone as a new device.
    One of the 3 should fix the problem.

  • Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

    Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
    For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
    I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
    In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

    The short answer is yes.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    Open Image Capture application.
    Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
    Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

  • I too had the same vertical white line in the centre of the screen last night after having my iPhone 5 up and running for 10 days. I managed to turn it off by holding the buttons in and it came up with the iTunes screen....2 hours later it came good?

    I was talking outside on my iPhone 5 in a fairly humid environment (The Pilbara in January, 2014) then when the call was finished I hung up (as I was walking back inside to the air-conditioning) this white vertical line appeared in the centre of the screen and wouldn't go away. I couldn't use it NOR could I accept calls. (I called my number from my other phone). I eventually managed to turn it off after removing the protective casing (Otter Box) and then it came up with the white cord / iTunes screen........I left it for a while...it turned back on BUT is still had a flickering screen.......I re-charged it and I have backed it up this morning (at work) on iTunes and it seems to be working 'fine.' All I can say is 'DO NOT GET RID OF YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY PHONE IF YOU HAVE ONE!' I haven't had an OUNCE of trouble with it and have owned it for at least 3 years. The iPhone has been up and 'running' since the 6th of January, 2014. This happened on the 15th of January, 2014.

    Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

  • Events created on iphone over a week into the future do not sync with mac

    Hello,
    I have the following problem: whenever I create an event on iCal on the iPhone (2.2.1 3G), this newly created event sync backs fine to iCal on my mac (macbook running 10.5.6), as long as it occurs within 7 days into the future. Any events that lie more than 7 days into the future will not sync back from my iphone to the mac.
    Example: today is 3/3. Any events create on the phone for 3/3, 3/4 ... 3/9 WILL sync back to ical on my mac. Events for 3/12 do NOT sync. Events for 3/10 8am did sync, but 11pm did not. Forget about your dental appt 6 months from now. As if there is some arbitrary "7 day in the future" cutoff.
    I called phone support, thinking there may be a hidden setting or so that I overlooked, and that was utterly useless. The Apple rep suggested to look in the app store for an application that might fix this. "Besides", he said, "nobody creates events more than 7 days in the future". ***?
    Looks like a bug to me, but maybe I overlooked something.
    Can anybody confirm this behavior?
    Is there any setting that I can try?
    Any procedure that I should try?
    ny other suggestions?
    Thanks much!
    Erik

    Before i began syncing calendar events over the air with my MobileMe/former .Mac account, I synced contact info direct with iCal on my Mac via the iTunes sync process. I had no problem syncing events created more than 7 days in the future with the direct sync with iCal on my Mac, and I don't have this problem syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account.
    I believe there is a setting under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for syncing calendar events. I no longer have this available for my iPhone sync preferences since I'm syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account. I know the setting includes an option for syncing events in the past, but I don't recall if it included an option for syncing events in the future. There should be a setting for syncing all events. Is this selected?
    There is also a setting on the iPhone for syncing all events, or events 2 weeks back, or 3 months back, but nothing for limiting syncing events in the future such as limiting this within the next 7 days.

  • Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)? 
    --- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
    4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
    Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal.  Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once?  If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
    If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
    1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
    2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
    If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
    To avoid this issue in the future:
    Keep regular backups.  They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
    Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
    Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
    Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
    Hope that information helps.

  • I plugged my iPhone for the first time to my computer,the iTunes screen came up and asked if I wanted to register the phone as a new phone or with the backup from my iPod. By accident, I clicked on the backup from my iPod, and I lost everything.

    Hi,
    I plugged my iPhone for the first time to my computer. The iTunes screen automatically came up and asked if I wanted to register/set-up my iPhone as new phone or using the backup from my iPod. Without knowing what was going to happen, I clicked on the backup from my iPod and then I lost everything I already had in my phone: mostly contacts and pictures. Although afraid of the answer, is there a solution to retrieving the info, especially the pictures?
    Thank you!

    by any chance did you do a back up to iCloud? if not there isn't a way to retrieve lost info with out a back up.
