What if someone else needed to unlock my iPhone 5s?

I am looking at the fingerprint intelligent display. Can someone else override that, and will I be notified on other devices if someone does?

Any iPhone that has Touch ID set up can ALSO be unlocked with the passcode.  So if the user knows your password, they can unlock the iPhone.
I would suggest using a more complicated passcode (say, 6 numbers) if you set up Touch ID, because rarely will you have to enter it yourself.

    No need to get in touch with account security because they will only tell you what I'm about to tell you...
    Just log into the appleid.apple.com website > sign in with his/her apple id > go to password and security in the left side > enter the security questions > and from there you can edit the rescue email.

    Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps listed in this support article, take these steps:
    1. Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
    2. Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
    3. If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
    4. If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
    5. If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.
    6. If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
    7. If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the one remaining data partition with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
    You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by starting up in Internet Recovery mode (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
    If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer to the buyer.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
    The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either. The buyer will have to purchase them.
    Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

  • What peripherals do you need to turn your iPhone into a conference room speakerphone?

    What peripherals do you need to turn your iPhone into a conference room speakerphone system?
    If you buy a separate conference mic and a speaker, can they somehow work together off the iPhone headphone jack like a huge set of group earphones?  What if you want to connect 2 mics and a speaker?
    Do you have to be very careful that they can all be attached somehow at the same time?
    Are there reasonably priced conference room speakerphone peripherals the work well together that you would recommend?
    Steve

    Why don't you contact Apple and find out?  Certainly if you can find your way around the internet to have been able to find this forum, you can certainly find the number for AppleCare.

    my husband is in the military, and we are overseas due to his orders, and really need to unlock our iPhone 4, how can we?

    Only the carrier an iPhone is locked to can authorize the phone's official unlocking. There is no other way to get any iPhone officially unlocked. Apple can't/won't help you.
    You need to contact your carrier.

  • Hi, I need to unlock my iPhone 5

    Hi, I need to unlock my iPhone 5, I´m from Venezuela and I went to my carrier and they told me that they don´t do that service(unlock the phone), so I´m asking you if you know any other way to get my iPhone unlocked, I really appreciate your help.

    Only the carrier can unlock your phone.  If they won't, you're out of luck.  Apple doesn't unlock phones.

  • HT4993 I need to unlock Sprint Iphone 4s for overseas carriers

    I have sprint Iphone 4s and I need to use it overseas. Hence need it to be unlocked

    Only Sprint can authorize unlocking of your iPhone. If you are a customer of theirs, contact them and ask. If you are not a customer, from what I've read they will not unlock your iPhone at all.
    Regards.

  • I have someone else's calendar on my iphone. how safe is our info?

    I got a replacement iphone after dropping mine...once...
    I assumed this was a new phone.But when I looked in the calendar, I found someone else's information, some of which looks confidential.
    I have just given the 'genius bar' my old iphone to replace, which although it didn't work properly, obviously has MY confidential info on it too.
    Are Apple recycling phones? Do I have a recycled phone?
    can I be reassured that my info hasn't been passed on to someone else?
    If you're at Apple, please feel free to get in touch!

    It wasn't required to activate your replacement iPhone with O2 thru iTunes before being able to use it, followed by an iTunes sync process, or a Restore process to restore your replacement iPhone with your previous iPhone's backup - restoring the settings from your previous iPhone followed by a sync?
    The iPhone includes an Erase All Content and Settings option, which you should have used before turning over your iPhone for the exchange.
    Per the warranty, an exchange under warranty can be a new or refurbished iPhone. A refurbished iPhone should have the current firmware version installed with no other data - the same as a new iPhone.
    This is a user to user help forum only. Although some Apple employees participate here, they do so as fellow users on their own time.
    If you want to speak with someone at Apple, you should go directly to the source - contact the Apple employee at the genius bar who handled your exchange.

  • Do I need to unlock my iPhone 4S to use it in India????

    I'm going to India in a month and wanted to know if I need to unlock it to use it there. It's the iPhone 4S from Verizon Wireless. And no it's not factory unlocked. Thanks for all your help.

    The only way you will be able to unlock it is through Verizon if you can meet their terms for doing so and even if you do an use a GSM provider in India if the phone detects a CDMA system it will switch to that on a roaming basis. You really need to call Verizon or go to one of their stores and discuss your options with them.
