Problem with registering iPhone 5 in Support Profile
Basically I got an iPhone 5 from my friend and trying to register it in my own Apple Support Profile but receiving the following msg:
According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID? Find out.
Yes, I have asked my friend to unregister the iPhone from his Apple Support Profile so that I can add in mine. He's done the same and it's been 12 hours but still I cannot add it. I am not sure whether I should wait a day or two before attempting again. Please Help!
I had the same problem for register, but i actually buy my iphone5s from one shop. The phone should be very new and i could use icloud webside to check this iphone5s. How could be unsuccessful for the register from My Support Profile?

How to register a second hand iphone to My Support Profile
how to register a second hand iphone to My Support Profile, when i do this, it shows that this phone have already registered by others. but i cannot contact the owner before, what can i do?
It appears that the seller did not do what he was supposed to do.
First of all, if it is out of warranty, registering it will not help you necessarily as you will have to pay for any tech support. However, you can always take it to your nearest Genius Bar and the diagnostic/troubleshooting will be free. Second, unless the seller removes it from his registered products list on the website, there is nothing you can do unless you know his Apple ID and password.
Now, in order to get rid of his Apple ID on your computer, you will need to completely erase the hard drive. You will need to use internet recovery for this so you can wipe it and then download the original OS and associate that with your own Apple ID. Boot up holding Command + Option + R until you see a spinning globe. It will eventually connect to Apple's servers (+/- 15 minutes); once you see the Utilities window, use Disk Utility to erase the drive. When finished, back to the screen, choose to reinstall OS X. That should result in a factory fresh install which you can set up with your own ID.
Remember to back up your files first as you will lose everything. -
I have a problem with my Iphone 4s since I did my first update at your Itunes, the bluetooth and the WiFi it is not workinhg anymore.
It is sad that companies like apple are not able to support thier sofware and business.
I went to a apple store at South Park, Charlotte NC,
and found out the worst customer service (in my case)
They don't have answers and don't understand about "dont let any customer go away sad or mad"
I explain to them that I did everything they said to fix the problem, even to dounload the iOS 6.1.3
that was supposed to fix the problem.
they said fix the problem in other phones but not in mine.
So here I am with no wifi and bluetooth, with apple technicians and experts that don't know what to do with the problem that the sofware they developed cause in my iphone 4s.
and the solution is for me to pay $199.00 US dollars for a problem that I did not cause.
wich means to buy something else from apple to fix a problem that it is not my fault.
Great! what a convenient solution.
I would like to have an answer from you guys and see if someone there have a better answer for me that shows support, values and integrity as a grest company with solutions for your customers.
Dont think that I want a new phone, I want mine fixed if is possible.
Thank you very much and God Bless you!Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

dfr aldossaryWow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off. -
Hello , please am having a problem with my iphone 5 , the battery runs out quickly ,another problem also if i turn on 3G it will run faster , 15 minutes and the iphone battery will be out . My final problem is that "no service " appears a lot especially when opening wifi or 3G , can you help ?
Your battery is running quickly because your cellular data connection is weak.

I suddenly encounter this error message from Fire Fox.
Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.
I uninstalled the browser and download a new version but it does not resolve the issue.
I know my hard disc has ample space. I do NOT know where to find the Profile directory to fix the read restriction box.

Hi guys.Got a problem with my iPhone 5. I bought it in a shop 4 month ago. After I got a visitor with iOS 7 on his phone he would like to charge his phone with my Laptop and cable.But when he plugged it in it showed a message wich says: " This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this phone".
How is this possible? I then phoned the shop and told them my problem. When I gave them the details I also found out that the imei No. in the iPhone is the same as on the original box. But the the Serial numbers are different. I already try the support centre but I’m over the 90 days.And there is no Apple Store in Namibia. I hope someone can help me here. Thanks, RalfarYou are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money.. -
New Windows 7 computer. After installing Firefox, every time I bring it up I get the following message:
"Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory.

Then Firefox comes up, but will not function at all - can enter url address, but will not respond to ANY clicks, so can not go to any site.This link shows how to fix this - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Could+not+initialize+the+browser+security+component

When I open the application the following alert appears: "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory." There is a solution on the support site but only for Windows-based Firefox, and I'm a Mac user. I have plenty of room on my hard disk.

Hi everyone,I'm having a problem with my iPhone 5 it's wifi doesn't seem to work.it started yesterday afternoon.anyone know what happened?? I'm using 6.0.2
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't correct the problem Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. -
MY iphone is unlocked in uk and accepts all sim cards in uk but when i travel to colombia and insert local sim it asks to activate the phone and then says please insert the original sim the phone came with why is this when my phone is unlocked ?
i got my phone on the vodafone network in uk, also they are the ones who unlocked my iphone 5 for me by contacting apple and my phone was unlocked, at the time i checked 4 different uk sim cards in my phone and were all working fine, then i had problem with my iphone kept crashing so took it in to a apple store in uk and the exchanged my iphone for me.
when phone had been exchanged in apple store they gave me unlocked phone, how i know this my carrier is vodafone uk, and i have used my uk t-mobile sim card in there and was working fine, and currently using giffgaff uk sim card which runs on the uk o2 network telefonica. works perfectly fine.
it is now that i am in colombia and inserted sim card from clara previously known as comcel colombia,
and it said - ACTIVATION REQUIRED - when it states that i can see full signal bars for reception and also see the 3G sign.
then states either choose wifi signal or use mobile connection.
i can choose either and have choosen boh options an it states
only compataible sim cards from a supported carrier maybe used to activate iphone. please insert the sim card that came with your iphone
so strange when i can use all uk sim cards in my phone and has been tested by me myself -
