I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up. I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen. Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)
iPad model
Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
iPad mini
$219
iPad 3rd, 4th generation
$299
iPad 2, iPad
$249
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can unlock it.
If you do not meet their requirements or they do not offer unlocking there is no official way to unlock the device.
Who is your carrier?

I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

i've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?
is it possible to change imei number?
i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Erase your device
Reactivate and use your device
This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

You cant unlock your phone unless you put in your password. It may be possible that the apple store could do something about it.

Sorry, there is nothing you can do.
FYI: Damage like that is not covered by warranty, & all Apple will offer you is an out of warranty replacement...cost, in the US, for an iPhone 4, is US $149.

If AT&T authorized the unlock and it was succcessfully completed, then you should be able to use your iPhone with any cell carrier in the Philippines that offers compatible GSM service. You'll need to get a SIM from that carrier.

Should carriers be able to unlock iCloud

So this is my question....Should carriers be able to unlock iCloud from iOS devices or at least have some say in the matter???
......My back story.......
Long time android user (Original My Touch) anyways new to iOS decided my Galaxy was dying and I need a new phone looked into getting an iphone went back and forth like a dying person trying to come to terms with their own impending death well saturday (6/21/2014) I decided to go buy an iphone 5 from craigslist.....Did my due diligence and checked the IMEI/ESN with my carrier (got the OK!) met up with the guy at a sprint store (Foreign Exchange Student going home.....Nice guy) I played with the phone thought this isn't half bad sure I'll buy the phone shook hands parted ways.....got home plugged the phone in iTunes tells me YOU'VE GOT AN UPDATE! or something......so I do the update go through the steps after I wipe the phone and see this.....My phone is linked to so-so's iCloud....Whats this I ask myself??? (It's getting the shaft with no lube) that's what it is.
Now I can't get ahold of this kid who moved back to china and no both sprint and apple are pointing fingers at each other when Im sitting here with a phone with 100% clean numbers and an iCloud lock and both sides seem to argue is that the only solution to my problem is BUY A NEW iDEVICE......
So should carriers have some say in iCloud's activation lock??

No.
Only the previous owner should be able to unlock it (as it is now).
As soon as it is easy to do, it will cease to be a useful tool to prevent theft (as everyone will do it).

I am not able to unlock my phone.

I am not able to unlock my phone from screen? Can someone tell me what could be problem with my phone plz..

If your phone is asleep and you press the Home button you should see a message saying slide to unlock, if you scroll the screen to the right it should unlock, unless you have a passcode set in which case you'll be asked to enter this before the phone unlocks.
If you cannot scroll the screen try a reset. With the iPhone on hold down both the Sleep & Home buttons until the Apple Logo is displayed on screen.

Has anyone been able to unlocked iphone 4s 6.0.1 from verizon?? If yes, how??

Has anyone been able to unlocked iphone 4s 6.0.1 from verizon?? If yes, how??

As roaminggnome just told you, only the orignal carrier, in this case Verizon, can unlock the phone. In order to qualify for unlocking from Verizon, you must be a Verizon customer in good standing (all bills paid on time) for at least 60 days.

Hey grandkids7k,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides troubleshooting information if you have forgotten your passcode:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT201328 Hey, i bought an iphone from online shop and its locked by orange france, i contact them to unlock it but they refused, they said that we regret to inform you that we'r not able to unlock second hand phones? I need your help please.

Hey, i bought an iphone from online shop as a used phone and its locked by orange france, i contact them to unlock it but they refused, they said that we regret to inform you that we'r not able to unlock second hand phones? I need your help please. Its not fair , apple should figure it out
Regards,
Orange

This is no different with any carrier locked phone. Getting a carrier locked phone officially unlocked is the responsibility of the carrier, not the cell phone manufacturer. A cell phone manufacture cannot unlock a carrier locked phone without the carrier's authorization.
An iPhone sold as officially unlocked when new can be used by others as a second hand phone, and the same with any carrier locked iPhone that can be unlocked by the carrier, and many carriers offer it.

Will you be able to unlock the iphone 5 for t-mobile?

I have t-mobile and right now I have an unlocked iphone 4 and want the iphone 5 really bad. Will I be able to unlock it for t-mobile?

I suggest you wait for the factory unlocked phone. Try not to buy AT&T locked iPhone 5, hoping that you can unlock it. Trust me it's a lot of hassle to get newly launched iPhone unlocked. Wait for the factory unlocked phone, pay a full price and use it wherever you want. I bet it won't be long as apple is already selling unlock phones in Canada.

HT4528 i not able to unlock rotation

Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I've reported my phone lost if some one finds it and is able to unlock the phone can they still use it thru wifi?

reported my iphone lost if lost if someone finds it and is able to unlock it can they still use its wifi features ?

Just in case....go to icloud.com/#find and see if your phone shows up.
If it doesn't, there is nothing you can do to prevent someone else from using it if they know the passcode. That means it's time to start changing any and all passwords you have for websites & apps.
