Using the phone in the uk
I live in the uk and already have an Iphone, got it as an import, but I am really struggling with it. Can anyone answer this for me?
It states that I need Itunes version 7.4 to sync the phone, but in my instructions is says I must not use higher than 7.3 or it will lock the phone, what do I do
As stated before you are using a phone that is "illegal" so no one here can help you.
As also stated before you should of waited 5 more days for a legitimate one since it would of more than likely been cheaper anyway.

I want to use an old 3 GS iPhone that is no longer in service as a phone now as just an iPod to play music. When I connect the phone to the computer with iTunes running, iTunes says it can't connect to the device because it didn't get a valid response from the device. How can I get the system to recognize the phone, and let me rename it as my iPod, instead of my phone?
As an aside, the current installed operating system on this old iPhone is 4.2.1, but that wasn't one of the selectable options in the operating system list dropdown below. Don't know if that makes any difference.Hi maddogdne,

A relative synced my iphone with his laptop without me knowing. It had a passcode on the phone but the sync still worked. I have since found out he is quite IT knowledgeable and has been known to track other peoples phones that he wants to know information about. How is my data useful to him and can he restore this data on another iPhone and run it parallel to mine? I have had people send me messages which I have not received. These have been screen shot to me later including time and I have just not got them. I had 4 weeks worth of messages go missing from my phone..I know that he synced my phone because his work laptops I'd came up in my settings. Also if the above can be done can he change the settings on my actual phone and access my location without placing tracking software on my phone. Can someone please help here as I can't restore a backup to my phone for obvious reasons and refuse to change my number because of this loser.
Connect the device to the computer.
In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start. -

I can't print using airprint from my iPhone 4. Everything with the phone and the printer and router are up to date. I can print from my iPad 2 with no problems. What's wrong with the iPhone 4?
I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

I have done all the above. I am in Germany using an iPad 2, trying to call an iPad 2 in the UK. My IPad goes through the call and then times out. I have been on the phone to the receiver at the time so know they had their iPad on.
What do you mean that you can't "call" an iPad in the UK?? That doesn't particularly make sense. You can email to an iPad or text them, but the iPad is not a phone, so how do you expect to "call" them??
Hope this helps -
I bought my iPhone on Friday and when I tried to use it to make a call (after I had left the store) the screen had turned green - as if a green filter had been placed over it. When I turned the phone sideways the color turned to magenta. Anyone else have this problem? I plan on exchanging the phone but can't get there until later this week.
Next time you post here, you might think about using a title and the provide your description below.

I have a phone in Canada and one in the us. Can I use both phones on the us account and or the canadian account??
You have to be in a country to use its store (that is part of the store's terms), so whilst you are in the US you can use the phone(s) that you have with you to buy/download from the store, and similarly when you are in Canada and the Canadian store - you can use the same account on both phones.

<Personal Information Edited By Host>It's a security risk to post your IMEI number and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you.
You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless. -
I purchased a used iphone4 and the phone displays the previous owners apple id and prompts me for the previous owners password. how do i get rid of his info....and install my own apple id number?
Login to the app store with YOUR ID. You can't use the app store without an Apple ID. If there are apps on the phone that were purchased with the original owners ID, you do NOT own them. The owner had no legal right to give them to you and they are permanently tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
...i was also allowed to purchase an apple network id for this phone...
I have absolutely NO IDEA what you mean by that. You can not "purchase an apple network id". -
i'm using i phone 5, the battery drops suddenly from 20% to 5% what is the reason ? and what is the solution?
There could be many causes and many solutions. All of them start with creating a backup using iCloud or iTunes on your computer. After that, try some of the steps written about in this blog;
http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain
If none of that helps, you may consider putting the iPhone into DFU mode (Google it) which will reset the firmware that monitors the battery. -
Will the iPhone 5c be abel for use with a Norvegian operator if I buy the phone in the US?
Will the iPhone 5c be abel for use with a Norvegian operator if I buy the phone in the US? Im going on a vacation to USA in a few days, and i dont know when the phone will come to norway, so if it's possible, i would like to buy it in the US! Is it then possible for me to use it in Norway when i get back with a Norvegian operator?
Jules Francis,
The model numbers are different and each is carrier locked to their respective carriers.
Even if they were not, the £269 price in the UK includes VAT. The price without VAT is £228.94
The price in the U.S. Store does not include sales tax. Last time I checked sales tax in New York City is 8.375%.
If you compare the pre-tax prices the difference is approximately £24. The rest of the difference is taxes.
Hope this helps,

MY IPHONE STARTED SMOKING YESTERDAY WHILE I AS USING IT. AS I AS PUTTING THE PHONE DOWN THE BATTERY EXPANDED AND BLEW UP IN MY HAND. NOW I HAVE ACID BURNS FROM THE BATTERY NOW I HAVE ACID BURNS ON MY HAND. WHAT CAN I DO????
Definitely see a doctor.
If the phone was under warranty, make an appointment at the genius bar. Actually, you can do that even if it wasn't under warranty (and probably should).
FWIW, nearly every documented case of this happening can be traced to liquid damage or a botched 3rd party repair. -
I currently have the iphone using imei is 013428003820386. I'm using normal. When I plug the phone into the laptop to copy the photos to your computer system requires update to the latest version. I agree to the machine but when the update requires activation by icloud account. I logged in with my account but still not activated and security. My account is being used to send mail me this log. I respectfully request that you can help me to reactivate my phone. Thank you very much. I swear this is my phone and I have been using previously. Thank you, thank you
