That America unenhanced and sim unlocked iPhone 5 will it work in Turkey?
If you purchased an officially and fully unlocked iPhone 5 from an Apple store in the US, then yes, it will work in Turkey.
If you did not buy your phone from an Apple store, then it will be sim free rather than unlocked, which is different, so it probably will not work.
Also, you need to remember, that yes your phone will work with local sim cards if it is unlocked, but you won't be able to get any 4G or LTE cover because the frequencies differ from the US to what is available in Turkey, so you will have an iPhone 5 with 4G capability that you can't use - only on 3G.
You also need to consider the warranty issue. The warranty for the iPhone 5 is only valid for the US if you buy it in the US, so if anything goes wrong with your phone, then you'll have to go back to the US. No shop in Turkey will help you with it because of the US warranty.
If you want an iPhone 5 then buy an unlocked phone from an Apple store in Europe and then you will get an EU wide warranty and you will be covered and chances are that you will get 4G and LTE compatibility too as it is Europe.
Apple stores in Paris and the UK sell unlocked iPhones. Not sure about others.

Is there any difference between an unlocked and sim free iPhone?
Is there any difference between an unlocked and sim free iPhone?
I think in the context you're using, they are pretty much the same thing. The only carrier on the planet as of this writing with the CDMA iPhone, which does not use SIM cards AT ALL, is Verizon in the U.S.
There is a difference between an unlocked iPhone and an iPhone sold without a contract, but still locked to a carrier.
This list details all of the currently supported iPhone carriers. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
Some carriers sell phones that are NOT carrier locked (i.e. SIM FREE). Some sell locked phones, but offer unlocking services for their subscribers. In SOME countries, unlocked phones can be purchased directly from Apple. Apple also sells locked phones, that do not require a term commitment with the carrier at what is usually the same price as an unlocked phone. -
Using AT&T prepaid nano sim card on unlocked and sim free iPhone 6
I'm currently a Boost Mobile customer and planing to get a unlocked and sim free iPhone 6 (model:A1586). If I buy AT&T prepaid nano sim card, will this work? How do I activate the sim card with keeping my current phone number?
It should work, You are going to have to contact AT&T and have the number ported to your AT&T gophone account.

Unlock iphone will get lock again if i do reset all content and settings???
I do not understand you question. From the Users Guide.
Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
What do you mean by unlock? -
I updated my Apple Iphone 3GS this morning and now my charger will not work. I can use my boyfirends just fine but mine will not worl at all. Why is this and is there anything that I can do?
Something is wrong with your charger or cable.
If it works with another charger, then it is not the iphone -
I changed my email account pw, and now my iphone will not let me to send email stating that name or pw is incorrect - no problem receiving.
You most likely did not change the password in the outgoing mail server section of your email account.
Go to Settings > Mail, Contact, Calendars > your email account > Advanced > Outgoing Mail Server
Re enter the correct user name and password in the outgoing Mail server section even though it may say that these are optional. -
I have a factory unlocked Iphone 4S, it worked fine but it was often lossing signal and going into search, I decided to restore, but now can not activate it, a message can not be activated because the server is temporary unavailable try again later, I have tried this for 3 days, any suggestions?
yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries -
My daughter has an iphone 3gs and it required an update. So i connected the iphone to itunes for the update and the iphone locked up . I had to reset the iphone back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , Please advise what i can do to get this working for her ?
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Unauthorized modification of iOS

Did a restore, and now my iPhone will not activate, though the iOS activation server seems to be "green"
SIM card is inserted, connected to wifi, and connected to iTunes though it tells me it is "unable to continue at this time"
Any other solutions?Hi JG14usa,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you attempted an update on your daughter’s iPhone but the update will not complete. For this type of situation, it may be necessary to place your iPhone into recovery mode and restore. Please use the instructions located in the attached article to complete this process.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Hi...I buy iphone5 from Saudi Arabia but I don't have facetime ...now I m shifting to India ..will it work in India or not if I insert a Indian SIM card in my iPhone will it work or not.. Plz help
"India" is a country. Not a cellular carrier.
There are 2 supported carriers in India. Aircel and Aritel. See this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
If you have a legitimately unlocked iPhone, it will work with a properly provisioned SIM from either Aircel or Airtel.
It may work with other carriers in India, but not all features may work as expected. -

Just upgraded IOS to V7 and iphone is asking for a password and the online password will not work. I really need to get this sorted as I am away and need to get the phone working.

Surely the current ID and Password would work . Anyway I will see how I get on with the Device Password.
No. If you failed to turn off Find my iPhone BEFORE you upgraded to iOS 7, you will need the original Apple ID and password. If you upgraded to iOS 7 you will need this info; there is no way around this. If it is the device passcode you will need to restore your iPhone in order to reset that, which in the end will require your Apple ID and password in order to activate the phone once it is restored.
Why don't you have the original Apple ID? Where did you get the phone? -
I am heading out to the US from NZ and I want to buy an Iphone, Will it work in NZ if I buy from Apple and do not connect to any network until back in NZ? Thanks
When you get to the States, if you will be in an area with an Apple store for a couple days, call and ask about reserving an unlocked iPhone, it takes a couple days to get it in the store from what I understand.
The current MBP 15" models are 2.2 and 2.4 GHz i7 machines. There is a 17" with 2.5 GHz i7.
The difference, in addition to the slightly faster cpu, is:
2.2 GHz - Radeon HD 6750 M with 512 MB VRAM
2.4 GHz - Radeon HD 6770 M with 1 GB VRAM
Both have the same hard drive, 750 GB 5400 rpm, both have the same primary graphics - Intel 3000.
So the difference is in the discrete grapics processor, important for heavy video work, heavy gaming...but will drain the battery a lot faster.
You can get all the details on any Mac computer by going to http://www.everymac.com and click on the model and then scroll down to the exact machine of interest. -
i updated my iphone 5 to 6.1.2 and my lock button will not work anymore and idea what i can do to fix this or what i can do to get it fixed
I'm having similar issues with my phone. I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year. Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas. When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore. I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting. That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore. I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router. When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there. Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............
