You're welcome.
1) why is apple so against unlocked iPhones
Because carrier locked phones is their business model. Apple gets a small piece of the monthly revenue from the designated provider for each subscriber with an iPhone. Each cellular provider Apple has a contract with is also interested in Apple not supporting unlocked iPhones.
2) why wouldent they touch my phone just to replace my battery?
Unlocking an iPhone is against the software license agreement for the iPhone and voids the warranty. If you don't keep your part of the agreement, Apple isn't obligated to keep their part. If Apple repaired an unlocked iPhone or replaced the battery (anything that involves opening up an iPhone for a covered repair under warranty, Apple normally exchanges it for another iPhone - and the one returned is refurbished), it must be tested, etc. and may involve re-installing the current firmware version which can/does cause problems with unlocked iPhones.
Basically if you don't abide by the license agreement, Apple won't cover the iPhone under warranty (which is one of their parts of the license agreement), and won't repair it for a fee either - since they can't guarantee their work - or that the iPhone will work properly afterwards if unlocked. If one chooses to go their own way with the iPhone, it shouldn't be too difficult to go their own way to have the battery replaced or the iPhone repaired on their own.

  • I am traveling out side of the U.S. and I am trying to up-date some apps on my iPod touch and now I'm getting this message... "Account Not In This Store Your account is NOT valid for use in the Ecuadorian store. You must switch to the U.S. store... help!

    I am traveling out side of the U.S. and I am trying to up-date some apps on my iPod touch. Now I'm getting this message... "Account Not In This Store. Your account is NOT valid for use in the Ecuadorian store. You must switch to the U.S. store"
    Please, is there anyone one out who can help me solve this problem? I just can seem to figure out how to get to the U.S. store... thanks!

    I just read this solution, tried it & now it's working...
    I think I found a fix...I went to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, then click on your Apple ID...view Apple ID...change country region to USA (even though it was already USA...just do it again...go through the steps making sure the United States store is selected...agree to the Terms of Service, THEN I think what the key is is to RE-auhorize your credit card...in my case all I had to do was enter the security code...and it worked...I am now able to download the YouTube app for example...couldn't do it before.

  • My Macbook will not boot the operating system.  It just goes to a blue screen after the apple logo and the spinning wheel goes off.  I took the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM.  I have the old mac os disk.

    My macbook will not boot.  It goes to a blue screen after the logo and wheel goes off.  I have taken the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM.  I have the the original os disk but have not put it in for fear of losing un backed op data.
    Thanks

    You won't lose any data unless you erase your hard drive.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c"key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it.When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've selected the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.

  • While connecting to the default instance from out side of the server it's reaches to Named instance ?i

    Hi All,
    We have two named instance in "test" server. the names like test\a & test\b... The tcp\ip for test\a is dynamic and for test\b is default port 1433... Now customer requested to install the default instance...we had an issue with installation
    that is the default port number is in use so, the default installation failed and then i changed the settings in registry to use the dynamic port for default instance and then i manually start the sql servers...seems all are good...but when i connecting this
    default instance from out side of the box through SSMS it's pointing to the named instance which one having the default port number(test\b).
    We can change the port number for test\b and assign that port to default instance...but the applications which are connecting to the test\b those are using the default port number...so, we don't want to disturb the connectivity...
    is there any way to fix this issue with out changing the port number for test\b ?
    it is urgent...we have to fix this issue ASAP.. 
    Thanks in Advance,
    rup

    Hi rup,
    Glad to hear the issue is resolved.
    As your post, if SQL Server is configured to use dynamic port,
    it is difficult for application connectivity because the port number selected changes every time that the Database Engine is started.
    From your description, you have changed the dynamic port number to static port number. To avoid a common pitfall, please also ensure that 
    you have deleted the entry (0 or some random port) for dynamic port in SQL Server Configuration Manager. For more details, please review this
    blog.

  • Mifi 5510l pop the battery out and on the white barcode label at the bottom right is a 6 digit code. is that 6 digit only for my device or other devices alike ? what is that 6 digit number called ?

    what is that 6 digit number called ?

    The photo did not attach but I think I can see on my own devices the 6 digit number you are referring to.  Both the 4510L and the 4620L have these 6 digit numbers posted near the IMEI number.  I would assume that these are batch numbers from the production process and are not unique for each individual device.  6 digits does not give you very many possible models to work with.
    While the origins of that specific number are not certain we can confirm for you that the MAC and the IMEI are much more reliable identification numbers to go from.  If the MAC and IMEIs from your coworkers photo do not match the MAC and IMEI of the device in your hand then there is nothing to debate.  If they do happen to match well then you may have to dig into the problem a little more.
    IMEI's are sprint identification numbers.  MAC addresses are hardware identifications used on a network.  Although IP Addresses can be dynamically assigned to anyone, a MAC address is always going to be unique and the same for a specific device.  These two should be entirely unique for each device according to the stickers on the backs of the jetpacks.

  • Can i access the context from out side of app server in jboss

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    Also check the Mouse driver settings in the Control Panel.

  • My 2008 Macbook froze (though iTunes kept playing), and wouldn't turn off, so I had to take the battery out to turn it off. However, it is not turning on. The battery was in condition of "needs to be replaced soon", but is there any way I can start it up?

    Last night, I was listening to a podcast, and my Mac froze. The mouse would not work, and neither would any of the buttons, but the podcast continued to play as if nothing was wrong.  I tried to turn it off and on with the power button, but it did not respond.  I had to take out the battery and put it back in.
    However, the Mac is no longer starting up. The battery was old, and needed to be replaced soon.  Because I have three important exams next week, and I have all of my notes on that device, I was wondering if there was a way to get the Macbook to work again, without taking the time to replace the battery? I've tried plugging it in, but it doesn't seem to charge.
    Thanks!

    Does the unit not run on the charger alone? (take the battery out and plug it in.)

  • Battery replacement out side USA

    I bought t my laptop from USA after 3 months I return back home (Bahrain)
    I am in Bahrain now and I checked Toshiba web site I found the advice to replace battery
    So I contact the authorized dealer in Bahrain and I get the information that the dealer will not give any support in battery replacement and I don't know if this statement is right or no
    Please give advice on that matter

    If you are writing about Toshiba battery replacement program I think it can be done in country of purchase only.
    Is the battery OK? I mean if everything is OK there is no reason for panic.

    What is the name of the small part that comes lose when you are removing the two battery screws on the left side of the battery, the small part is under the top screw when removing the iPhone 4s battery?

    It's the part that means you've voided your warranty and the right to get an out-of-warranty replacement from Apple.

  • How do I get the battery out of my iphone 3g?

    HELP, how do I get the battery out of my iphone 3g?

    iPhones are not designed to be user servicable.
    There is no reason to remove the battery.
    If you believe the battery is defective or no longer holding sufficient charge, take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
    Attempts to open the device by anyone other than Apple will void all rights to support from Apple.

  • My macbook isn't turning on. I have taken the battery out, reconnected it and I still have no response. How do I fix this?

    My macbook isn't turning on. I have taken the battery out, reconnected it and I still have no response. How do I fix this?

    If you want Apple to help you you'll have to take the Mac to a store.
    Your problem is very unusual, the only suggestion I can give is to back up all your personal data and reinstall Mac OS X as it appears to be corrupted somehow. It may also be worth replacing the hard drive at the same time.
    The worst case scenario is that your Mac is actually failing, it does happen, your best bet is to get a specialist to look at it.
    I'm sorry you haven't been helped here but you must understand that the community can only help with problems they have answers to.

    Depends on if you have Apple do the job or a third party repair company.  Apple will charge you $59 to swap the battery out.

  • My screen on my MacBook Pro blacks out constantly. If I press on the bottom left side of the MacBook, I can keep the screen on. I have been placing a small note pad to keep pressure on the bottom in order to keep the screen lit up.

    You should try taking the battery out and putting it back in, but then if that doesn't work, you should take it into your Apple Retail Store and have a genius at the Genius Bar take a look. That seems like a hardware problem to me.
