If the iPhone was unlocked unofficially, it has been locked to original carrier again.

  • How to upgrade to aperture 3.5 when the app store does not show the update. I did buy aperture 3 on DVD not thru the app store. what to do?

    I can not open aperture databases anymore as osx10.9 keeps telling me i have opened it with a newer version, which i have not but i understand from other discussions that thru the upgrade of iphoto osx automatically thinks that you have opened with aperture 3.5. the app store does not show me the update as i have not purchased the program thru the app store but on dvd. what to do?

    If you are running MacOS X 10.9 and Aperture is installed in your Applications folder and simply called Aperture, not Apertre 3 or something, the AppStore should be showing you the update.
    Have you already updated to Aperture 3.4.5 from the Support page  Aperture 3.4.5?
    Try to update manually to 3.4.5 and then reboot and sign again into the AppStore with your AppleID and look at the Update page.
    For some forum members it helped to set the main system language to English U.S. to make the update finally show.

  • My iPhone 5 every time I close out of an app by pressing the home button a white blob shows up close to the volume buttons, is that normal?

    My iPhone 5 every time I close out of an app by pressing the home button a white blob shows up close to the volume buttons, is that normal?

    Hi Sabrinann21,
    I'm not sure what you mean by the "white blob."  Does it look something like this?  
    If so, that white circle that you see on the right side of the screen is Assistive Touch and can be turned off in the Accessibility settings on the iPhone.

    Hello SeamusFitz,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    In order to get your messages to show up on your other phone, you would need to have a backup of the phone with the messages, and then restore the new phone from that backup.
    According to article iTunes: About iOS backups found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 iTunes will backup your Messages.
    iTunes will back up the following information
    Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos).

  • How can I sync iPhone 3GS with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not appear on monitor screen when I plug the iPhone into the computer?

    How can I ync iPhone 3Gs with my Windows 7 PC, when iTunes does not launch when I connect the iPhone to my computer? Note: My computer crashed and I am reinstalling everything.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • My iphone 5 restarts once i insert my sim card

    my iphone 5 restarts once i insert my sim card.... what should i do??

    Does it restart if you don't have the sim card installed?
    Try another sim card if thats possible, or you could try a factory reset on the phone to see if that helps.

    Please help me.

    I think my problem is fixed now.
    For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
    A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
    I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
    So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

  • Was updating to 5.0.1 on iphone 3gs and now it wont recongize sim card

    I was updating at iphone 3gs (8gig) to 5.0.1 after it was turned off and it restarted. it no longer recongized the sim card. What can I do now?

    It was not. I bought i a few months ago for my fatherinlaw and I have only put some apps on it before trying to updated the iOS to 5.0.1. It was working fine before but once it restarted from updating to 5.0.1 it is now in a base mode of asking what language, turn on location services and for it to go on wifi. but when I attach it by wire to itunes it says the sim card is not installed.

  • If I install Windows 7 on iMac (what we have done many times and it works very good) does windows support the fusion drive?

    if I install Windows 7 on iMac (what we have done many times and it works very good) does windows support the fusion drive?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Fusion Drive is created by software on OS X. On a computer with Fusion Drive, Windows is installed on the HDD, but when you install the Boot Camp drivers, you will be able to read Macintosh HD, so it looks like it supports Fusion Drive but only for read
