Trying to use a spanish sim. iPhone 4s

I Have paid for a new iPhone 4s as mine was broken. I currently spend most of my time out in spain. I purchased a spanish sim through orange.es but it is saying that it is not compatible with the phone. My SIM card with orange uk works fine. I thought the phones were unlocked. Can someone shed some light. Thanks

Sounds like your phone is locked to Orange in the UK...contact them to get it officially unlocked if you want to use a sim from Orange in Spain...they are different carriers.

HT4864 i lost my ipdad this month, i am trying to use my find my iphone feature but my ipad always appearing offline

i lost my ipdad this month, i am trying to use my find my iphone feature but my ipad always appearing offline.
Please seek your kind support in order to find out my IPAD 4 location in the following senarios:
1- IPAD4 is not offline.
2- IPAD4 apple id was changed to the theif ID before i place the lost mode.

If you activated the Find My iPhone service (in Settings>icloud), and if the device's batteries still have a charge, the device is not turned off and has not been reset and is connected to wifi, then you can try to track it. Using a computer, log into icloud.com and look at the Find My iPhone page. On a device, invoke the Find My iPhone app (get it for free at the itunes app store) and log into the icloud account.
If it is offline, then one of the requirements listed above is not met (like being connected to wifi, or if the device was stolen and the thief reset it).

2013 Honda Civic Si, SMS Text Message Function says "Unsupported Device" when trying to use this feature with iPhone 5. Can anyone help with this?

In my 2013 Honda Civic Si, I'm trying to use the SMS Text Message Function, but keep getting the error message, "Unsupported Device".
I use an iPhone 5 with latest iOS 6.1.4.
HandsFreeLink works perfectly fine with my iPhone for voice calls and for streaming Bluetooth Audio. Does text messaging not work because of iMessage? Does anyone have any suggestions for this issue?
Thanks in advance!

In looking for a 2013 Honda Civic (LX model, no Navi), the text feature was very interesting and important to me. Why not have my texts available on the dash and read to me rather than messing with my phone. Anyway I won't go into the whole thing about safety while you're in your driving and all that. We all know what we should and shouldn't do. Anyways...
I spoke to a salesman who said that this feature was not compatible with the iPhone, only BBs. Of course this didn't impress me and I found it hard to believe that Honda would restrict themselves like that. Anyway, a few searches on the web later and Honda shows that the iPhone 4, 4S and 5 are compatible for receiving texts through the car, just not sending them. I believe you need a minimum of iOS 5+ for it to work though.
Once I found this the salesman and I did some testing with our phones. He has a 4S with iOS 6.1.3 and mine is a 4 with iOS 6.1.3. Initially we setup the phone using the Bluetooth config on the Civic's iMID display. It was setup and hands-free calling tested o.k. Next the texting was tested. Both of us have iMessage turned on. Neither of us could get the messages we would send each other (1 of us had our phone setup with the car, the other sent the text and vice versa). The messages were received by the phones, just not the car). When we would go under the Text Message section, it would say "Unsupported Device". I knew that couldn't be as Honda said it was compatible. After more web searches and a phone call to Honda by the salesman, I found the following.
1) It seems like the person who had their phone paired with the Civic had to disable iMessage to start getting texts. The salesman still had it enabled on his though when he sent me texts (as SMS) and the Civic got them so both people aren't necessarily required to disable it. Now under the Text Message section, it would list the messages received.
2) I changed the Notifications on my phone for Messages from Banner to Alerts. Once I did this it started to work. The texts were showing up on the car. I had read where another person had tried this successfully but then changed it back to Banner and it continued to work. I experienced the same thing.
Granted this wasn't extensive testing but I was able to get it to do something closer to what I wanted. I'm not sure why Apple and Honda can't put their heads together to make sending texts work on the car but maybe someday it will work when enough people complain. It's kind of a disappointment that I couldn't get iMessage to work but I haven't given up hope yet. As it's a proprietary protocol, I can see Honda not supporting it though.
Hope this helps someone out!
FYI I bought car!

I unlocked my iphone 4.3.3 and I am in Spain trying to use my international sim card but it will not recognize it. What do i do?

I unlocked my phone using sn0w whatever and I have cydia and the only website that was helpful told me to download this hack software but it does not work because I have too high of a firmware on my phone. What do I do?!!

What makes you think I can't use my phone in another country or with another sim. You obviously can't, but we are hardly going to talk about hacking an Apple phone on the Apple site. By the way mine is officially unlocked so can swap sims within seconds.

I am grateful for any advice.

A hard drive if it has failed will sometimes allow you to boot into windows but may not work completely (Eg: In a scenario, where system partition ;where windows is installed works fine but logical partition of hard drive has gone bad).
On certain conditions, if the hard drive is on verge of failure may/may not respond completely. I would suggest you to run a diagnostics using Seagate Seatools which works on any hard drive irrespective of manufacturer to actually confirm if your hard drive has failed.
Also, any hard drive can fail in spite of it been 1yr old or 1day old as its all manufactured in bulk and most of it comes from China

I get "An error occurred loading this content" when trying to use AirPlay with some iPhone videos

When trying to stream video via Home Sharing AirPlay from the Horse Racing Now iPhone app or TwinSpires mobile site to my new third generation Apple TV, I get the error message
An error occurred loading this content
Try again later.
The Apple TV seems to be playing everything else fine though. And I verified that the video is working on both sites. Any idea what's happening?

Trying to use a lebara sim for internet and its not working

Ive just come over to spain and i was told that it would be best for me to get a lebara sim card so i could use the internet whilst here. However, its just not working properly, i can get imessages and whatsapp messages however its just not downloading it properly.
Ive rang lebara and ive got their settings in my phone but still no luck, Ive reset my phone a couple of times and still nothing... Lebara has just told me to contact apple!
I was wondering if anyone could help?!

Hi,
Please check if there is Event ID 9017 and 9018 in the application log, make sure the MRM works well.
Please make sure the Microsoft Exchange Mailbox Assistants service is working well.
And you can increase the diagnostic logging level for the MRM, then you can monitor the events in the application log.
Best regards,

Bought an iPad 2 , did all the set up, when I tried to use the find my iPhone app. , it can't seem to locate my iPad. Or not listed in the devices, can you help me solve this issue?

Anyone?

Just get to make sure I'm understanding correctly. The iPad 2 can connect to the internet and the web just fine. I also read another post stating that Mobile me awhile back was having issues with the find my "ipad/iphone/ipod touch" functionality.
I'm not sure about this but if your not a mobile me user don't you have to sign up for the "find my ... service"?
Can I assume you did that too?

Has anyone tried to use an aldi sim card

I have recently purchased 2 aldi pre paid sim cards. I am having difficulties with one of them. The phone tells me that it needs to be activated although it is not a recognised network provider. I switch cards with the handsets and 1 always works but 1 phone wont.
How can i get it activated? The phone is out of warranty/service and I would rather not have to buy another 12 months if I dont have to.
thanks
Rod

Problem I have is that I don't know originally sold the phone (carrier) as I bought it second hand. I have contacted Apple but they werent able to tell me who it was unless I paid a service fee of $39.
I will find a way.... .

Trying to use iSync with new iPhone using Mac OSX 10.4.11

Is this operating system to old for iSync to work?? Followed the instructions for connecting iPhone / iMac and nothing happens in iTunes.

iSync has nothing to do with syncing the iPhone. iSync is only for non-Apple mobile devices.
The minimum Mac system requirements for the iPhone are:
• Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
• Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later
• iTunes 8.2 or later
You'd probably be better off asking in one the dedicated iPhone forums starting here:

TS3988 Cannot use iCloud on my iPhone

I am trying to use iCloud on my iPhone but somehow it has an old email address as my Apple id and it will not let me change it. I have no idea how it got that old email address, except it was my Apple id many years ago. I have tried to delete iCloud from my phone but it tells me that I must enter a password for that old Apple id to delete Find My iPhone, which I apparently don't remember, so I cannot delete the app. I tried to recover the password for that email address thru forgot password but it says I put in the incorrect birthdate, and of course I can't have it email it to me since I no longer have that email address. Everything else on my iPhone uses my current Apple id. I have already signed out and back into everything using my current id. Any other suggestions? Thanks!!

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

No NAS other than an Apple one includes native support for AFP. They all use an open source package called Netatalk that is junk. Many years ago Apple deprecated the old security modules that Netatalk uses.
The easiest solution is to hack up Lion so that it will connect with the old security protocol. Do a search for "lion dhx2" or something like that. Another option is to update your NAS to a version of Netatalk that includes support for DHX2. That is easier said than done. Netatlk isn't as "open" as other open source packages.

I just got an iPhone 4 and I'm trying to use it on tmobile. I have restored the phone but every time I put in my SIM card for t mobile it says no service. How can I fix this?

I just got an iPhone 4 and I'm trying to use it on the t mobile network. The thing is, I've tried restoring the phone so I could use it. I haven't tried my sim on other phones yet. But I will try to see if it works. The iPhone is supposedly factory unlocked btw. Anyways, when I put in my tmobile sim, it searches for the service, but it always ends up saying NO SERVICE. I checked that my network says that the "phone not allowed". So I don't have 3G on this phone I presume. I heard that you need 3G to have service is that correct? But how do I resolve it? The iPhone does know that my phone carrier is tmobile. It just says no service. And I've tried restoring it three times and turning it off and on and it won't work. I don't have a data plan for tmobile tw! Hopefully someone can help! Thank you so much in advance!

If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked. I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed. eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money. I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot
