Unlock pin for mac?

I sold a macbook pro to a friend of mine and when she was just signing up for find my iphone when she bought an iphone today. She got a grey screen while singing up or something and its asking for a system unlock code? Its asking for a 6 digit code (numbers only I believe).
Can anyone A. explain this, and B tell me what steps I'd need to take in order to find the pin? Would really appreciate the help.
Thanks

Unless you or her know the code she will need to take the Mac, ID and proof of ownership to an Apple Store to be reset.

If the incorrect PIN code is entered too many times, a PIN Unlock Key must be obtained from Verizon Wireless at 908-559-4899 if you are outside of the United States and 800-922-0204 or *611(send) from your mobile number inside the United States..
The SIM PIN option is only available when the handset is in GSM / UMTS mode. Refer to Network Mode Setting for further assistance.
Thank you, LatachaM_VZW
Are you talking about the PUK code (when the PIN for the SIM has been wrong too many times)? The OP is talking about network unlock, and is using a foreign SIM. Global Services certainly wouldn't have the unlock code for a SIM that isn't theirs.
I have heard that if you do enter the incorrect network unlock code too many times, the phone becomes permanently locked (i..e cannot be unlocked even with a valid unlock code) but not everyone agrees that this is true for all phones.
Jax's post above really says it all, you will need to search the web for a service that will unlock this Motorola phone. In doing so, you might find a number of threads that say the Global has to be activated in the US before an unlock code will work. Others were able to unlock without this.

What is the sim network unlock pin for when you replace your old sim card?

Hi, so I've just put my new Dan and Phil sim card into my phone but its asking for a sim network unlock pin, what is it?? Thanks

Hi,
It means your phone is network locked to another carrier. To use this sim your phone needs to be on EE, unlocked or sim free.
If you want the code to unlock your phone you will need to contact the carrier which issued the phone but as with EE there maybe come conditions you need to comply with before this will be done and a fee to pay.
Hope this helps.

I would recommend wiping the system and reinstalling the OS for any used system. OS X does not have any "unlocking pin" of sorts so this may be from some third-party software on the system. The system does have a "firmware password" option that can be set to prevent booting to alternative boot environments (ie, external hard drives, safe mode, etc), but this will not prevent system updating.

How to find or bypass the password for unlock backup for iphone with mac?

Hi,
My Iphone is not working for some reason and i realy need the information that was on it.
I have a backup in my itune and i tried to download it to my ipod using the "restore from backup" option.
Unfortuanlty, it asked me for a backup password which i've never put and without it i can't get into my backup information.
Is there any way to bypass it or find the password somehow?
I've tried to find it in the keychain accses (i'm using mac) but didn't find anything there
it is realy frustrating..
Tnxs

If it asks for a backup password you or someone else put one on it. Without the password there is no way you can recover the backup.
But -- is is asking for the backup password, or for the phone password? You cannot restore a backup from one phone to another phone without the unlock code for the phone. This is to prevent someone from stealing your data.
But in general, if there was a way around a password what would be the point of having a password?

DTM for Mac and Tour OS 5.0

I've been using a BB for 12 years but most of that time with DTM for Windows (until I saw the Mac light three years ago). Since the BB DTM, (aside from the fact we Mac folks get very little RIM love), after I updated my Tour to the "official" Verizon OS 5.0.591 I'm having all kinds of Calendar sync problems between iCal and my BB. None of these problems existed with OS 4.7.x so I have to put the blame on OS 5.0 or else the fact that RIM hasn't updated DTM for Mac to work properly with OS 5.0.
1. if I force a sync of all iCal events to the BB everything is fine. But the first time I do a normal sync without forcing the iCal events to override those on the BB, then I get the notification that a bezillion events will be modified in iCal. The modifications always have to do with the sound, alarm, or time of the alarm. I obviously don't let them happen. Additionally, all the notification reminders are stripped from the events on the BB. If force a sync and override everything on the device, then immediately do a normal sync, I should not have any changes on either side.
2. Not actually off-topic but while I'm at it, why do events that show me as BUSY in iCal show up as FREE on the BB?
3. I already know of the issue where I need to have all events reminders in iCal set to "Message" because if I set them to "Message with Sound" the reminder doesn't show up properly on the BB. But why? Isn't this rather basic?
All in all, while the DTM for Mac is at least something, it's still light years behind what Windows has, and these latest problems with the Calendar sync are very frustrating. People wonder why folks move to the inferior iPhone...it's pretty simple...it's always in sync with the Mac...period! Thanks for any light that can be shed on this calendar issue.

The upgraded OS you installed removed the lock icon from the screen, until you set a password on the device, and then the lock icon will return.
Otherwise, have you tried using the top edge left button on the device?

Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent? Help Please!

Hello All,
Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent?
I recently switched from a palm treo to blackberry but didn't anticipate syncing issues with my mac until now. The current BB desktop software seems only compatible with MAC OS 10.5, so I'm in a difficult position.
Please any suggestions are deeply welcomed!!
Thank you.
Hillman

DM for Mac will not sync groups from my address book

After spending 40 minutes with BB tech support, I was told that the new DM for Mac will not sync the groups in addressbook. They say maybe in the next version of DM.
Blackberry Pearl 8100
Intel Mac
OSX 10.6.1

Neither does DM for the PC... I wish it would also (and since DM for the PC has been through many upgrades, I don't know that you will see that added so soon.
Here's hoping!

How do I upload an 'On my Mac' email archive in Mail to an 'On my computer' folder in Outlook for Mac??

I've installed Office for Mac with Outlook and want to import an archive of 'On my Mac' emails from Mail to a new folder created in Outlook's 'On my computer' section.
When I recently upgraded to Mavericks, I was able to import this archive back in from a system backup I'd made beforehand. I thought I would be able to do the same again now, but Outlook's import function won't play ball, not even after I have led it to the 'Mailboxes' folder of MBOX data that I've saved onto my desktop. Outlook's 'import' button remains greyed out and unresponsive, even after I've opened the 'Mailboxes' folder to expose the MBOX data.
I now know I am not alone in being unable to complete this task by the only method suggested in Outlook's 'Help' that is open to me - ie, to "import messages in MBOX format". I got nowhere at all trying the alternative, to "Import Apple Mail messages", where, after clicking 'File / Import', the options encountered bore little resemblance to those described in 'Help' - eg, to import, specifically, "Entourage information from an archive or earlier version" rather than the more general "Information from another application", whilst there was subsequently no mention whatsoever of "Apple Mail" after clicking "the right arrow to continue".
I've since learned from trawling internet forums that Apple and Microsoft MBOX folders are not the same, which is presumably at the heart of this. There are also various solutions proffered, involving either uploading the archive over an IMAP connection (which I do have, to Gmail) to a shared email account, or using proprietary software that either converts email data from Mail to Outlook friendly or enables it to be uploaded from one to the other. However, none of the simpler solutions are relevant (they tend to be restricted to particular mail clients, etc) whilst the others require programming familiarity and skills that I don't possess.
It's hard to believe that Microsoft could produce this suite expressly for Macs and, in the case of the Outlook component, implicitly to replace its Mac counterparts, yet for it to be incapable of doing so in the crucial, basic area of importing pre-existing Mac email data.
Whilst I have taken this up with Microsoft, I'm just hoping there might be someone out there in the Mac community who might know the answer . . .

Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
