When on setup the iphone 5 told me that the SIM was locked how to i unlock it without going the the posses of the iphone 5

Great day!

I was asking if you bought your iPhone used versus buying it new. At any rate, as mentioned you can just contact Verizon or visit a store to get a SIM card sent to you.

    i was on my Iphone 4 and i updated it and then it said that the sim was locked how do i unlock it?
    i upgraded it to the newest update and it came up sim locked enter three digit number to activate and then on the internet it said to restore it so i did that and now it says Sim locked insert a valid sim with no pin to activate :/

    The ONLY place that can unlock a locked iphone is the carrier to which it is locked ( if they offer this service).
    It sounds as if you may have a hacked/unofficially unlocked iphone and it locked back to the carrier when updated ( as it should if it is hacked).

    i got an telus apple iphone4 as a gift frm canada, but the phone was lock i want 2 know how can i unlock my iphone becouse im in srilana. please help me in this regard thank you

    I think you're out of luck. Telus, AFAIK, does not offer unlocking for the iPhone, but contact them to verify such. If they tell you no, you might as well return it and get your money back, if within the 30 day return window.

  • I just bought a mac book pro - When setting up my computer it told me that there was an update on the current operating system and to install it - I did

    I just bought a mac book pro - When setting up my computer it told me that I there was updates to my operating sytem - to install the updates. I installed them and then restarted my computer - But it still says that I have an update to do - which is the operating sytem one that I just did??? Do I still need to do something else.

    bschau1963,
    sometimes updates have other updates as prerequisites, so one set of updates can lead to another set of updates. Unless it is asking you to apply the same update over and over again, you should probably accept the new set of updates that Software Update is offering.

  • I bought a Iphone 4S in Colombia two months ago, It never work properly, I cant put turn it on.  When I went to Movistar they told me that it was a problem with the software.  Now, they have the Iphone for repair.

    I bought a Iphone 4S in Colombia two months ago, It never worked properly, I cant put turn it on.  When I went to Movistar they told me that it was a problem with the software.  Now, they have the Iphone for repair at Movistar.  The questios is, If I bought a NEW Iphone why they gave me a Iphone with this problem.  I asked about the warranty but they told me that Apple doesn't respond.  Please tell me something.  The IMEI is: 013071008363505 is a Iphone 4S  16GB.  Black.

    I would guess the fan is the cause of the noise. Suggest you take a look at it.
    This site has a wealth of information about getting inside a Macbook or Macbook Pro.

  • Why do that when we setup the iPhone, appears as the Standard Portuguese Portuguese of Brazil and Portuguese official (European) in brackets?

    Why do that when we setup the iPhone, appears as the Standard PortuguesePortuguese of Brazil and Portuguese official (European) in brackets?
    It's the only thing I hate about Apple. Please change for the Portuguese was invented by the Portuguese, and not by the Brazilians. As the English of England is the official, the Portuguese of Portugal is also the official.

    "Official" according to whom? I don't believe there is a global body that decides which version of a given language is the "real" or definitive version. However, if you wish Apple to know your feelings on the matter, use the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

  • How can i know my icloud id when i setup my iphone?

    how can i know my icloud id when i setup my iphone?

    You need to get the previous Apple ID password reset. The only way to do that is to log onto Manage your Apple ID  and click on Reset Password for the Apple ID you need to sign off of the device:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    You will have to answer the Security Questions. If you do not know the answers, you will have to have Apple Support reset them for you:

  • HT204409 How do I change or reset my password for my wifi? I have forgotten my initial password when I setup the wifi and now cant use it with my iPod but it still works with my iPad as the password option doesn't come up like the iPod.

    How do I change or reset my password for my wifi? I have forgotten my initial password when I setup the wifi and now cant use it with my iPod but it still works with my iPad as the password option doesn't come up like the iPod.

    If you are saying that the iPod asks for the password for the network and you do not know it, what may work is to turn on iCloud keychain for the iPod and iPad., Thet may sync the password from the iPad to the iPod

    Otherwise you will have to go into the router settings and reset the wifi password in the router

  • HT4623 i put the wrong passcode on my iphone now is locked how can i unlocke it

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
    A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
    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.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
         1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, 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 turn off.
              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons.
         3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
             The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
             charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
             start with step 2 again.
         4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
             When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
         5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
         6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    Hello I bought my iPhone from liverpools apple store, I put a giffgaff cArd inside and it locked my phone into 02 network. I contacted o2 as you suggested and they told me that they didn't lock my iPhone. Please find me some help

    I guess you mean unlock the device. To lock it would mean to be possible to se it only with one carrier.
    So no, unlocking the device must be done by the original carrier, you should contact them to do that.

  • I updated my iPhone 3G today and after the update it said on iTunes that my sim was not compatible and my iPhone screen went on to slide for emergency/connect to itunes. Ive tried restoring it but it hasnt worked. Please help!

    I updated my iPhone 3G today and after the update it said on iTunes that my sim was not compatible and my iPhone screen went on to slide for emergency/connect to itunes. Ive tried restoring it but it hasnt worked. Please help!

    Unless the iPhone was purchased  as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
    Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.
    Regards.

    ONLY the Carrier it is Locked to can unlock it.
    No one here will know who that Carrier is.
    The iPhone 3G can only run iOS 4.2.1

    You don't. Take it back to them and ask them to unlock it. If they refuse, or if they have now vanished off the face of the earth, you own a brick. There is no way past the activation lock without the proper credentials.
