Can I complete a carrier unlock after I have already erased and reset my iPhone 5?

I recently upgraded to the iPhone 6.
After restoring my iPhone 6 from my iPhone 5 backup via iCloud, I erased/reset my iPhone 5 for resale.
In order to raise the resale value of my iPhone 5, I want to perform a carrier unlock.
I processed a request to unlock my iPhone 5 with AT&T, and they approved my request:
Thank you for contacting AT&T Customer Care about unlocking your AT&T Mobile device.
We have reviewed your request and confirmed that the device may be unlocked. You should complete the unlock process before porting out your number for use with another carrier.
Please allow 24 hours upon receipt of this notification to complete the unlock process.
1. Open iTunes on your Mac or PC and verify that you have Internet connectivity.
2. Ensure the original SIM card that came with this device is inserted in your iPhone.
3. Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone.
4. Backup and restore your iPhone using iTunes. For information on backup and restore, please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
5. After restoring, your iPhone will be unlocked.
Considering I already erased my iPhone to factory settings, how do I complete the unlock process?
Do I need to setup my iPhone 5 again, and restore it from a recent backup, in order to unlock it?
And then erase it all over again?
Thank you so much!

ANSWER: All I needed to do was plug my iPhone into my computer and turn on iTunes.
As soon as the iPhone connected to iTunes, I received a UNLOCK CONFIRMATION message.
The AT&T Customer Service Rep also confirmed that the iPhone was unlocked from the AT&T account.
Hope this helps!

Why is it taking so long to import photos to my iphone and ipad?

My configuration: iMac 2007, 10.9, OS 7.0.3 on all devices, iPhoto directory on external Firewire drive.
It's always taken a while for my devices to complete the "Importing photos" step of the syncing process - maybe 2-5 minutes.
Since the iOS 7 update, and iTunes 11.1, that process is taking up the 30 minutes! I have a very large iPhoto libray (260 gb and over 49,000 items) that is stored on an external Firewire drive. All that is set to sync are several relatively small photo albums that rarely change, and a smart album consisting of "Last 3 Months." The sync takes forever, regardless of whether any new photos have been added recently. I'm seeing the same behavior on my iPhone 5 and iPad Mini.

That show that your original library is damaged and needs to be repaired. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Why is it taking so long to download ios8 on my iphone 5C

II'm trying to update my phone to ios8 and it is taking forever! I deleted all of my pictures and music. I have 7.1 GB free and it still says I have 15 hours left in the process. What's wrong?!

Because 17,000,000 other people are downloading too (exaggerated estimate)
Wait a couple days or upgrade it via iTunes. I understand iTunes is a bit quicker.
One more thing... Not sure this is a necessary step, but I ALWAYS do a hard reboot of my iPhone and iPad before updating.

TS4036 Why is icloud taking too long to create backup, seems as though it's frozen.

This is my first time I use iCloud to back up my phone. I purchased an additional 20GB for a total of 25GB of storage. According to my phone, I have 17.3 GB of free memmory. My question is this: Why is it taking so long to create a backup? My phone is reading "Backing Up" and "Estimating time remaining" for about 10 mins thus far and the progress bar is still at the original point it started 10mins ago. There has been no progress and still have no estimated time remaining. What is going on with my phone? Should I just give up and get Apple to refund me the $20 for the additional space? Thanks!

Hold the Power button until your MacBook turns off and turn it on again.
If you don't see anything on the MacBook's display and OS X is not starting up, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Then, turn on the Mac and hold the Shift key while your Mac is starting up to start up in safe mode, so you can start up your computer without loading other apps. Finally, uninstall Seagate apps > http://forums.seagate.com/t5/GoFlex-Net-GoFlex-Home/How-to-uninstall-on-Mac/m-p/ 92100
After uninstalling the apps, restart again and see if OS X Mavericks can start up. If not, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting and reinstall OS X. If this doesn't work, you will have to erase the drive.
I don't recommend you to install the Seagate apps, as you probably don't need them

Why is it taking so long to back up on my external hard drive?

I have a WD 1TB 3.0 USB external hard drive & im transfering 200GB of data.
Why is it taking so long to back up all my data onto my exernal hard drive using time machine?
I turn it on every day for about 12 hours to backup.
I think it will take about 4-5 days to complete, is this normal?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Post the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

Why is it taking so long to download. Is this normal?

Why is it taking so long to download. Is this normal?

How long is "so long"?
Some product downloads are up to 1.6GB; that can take some time - very much depending on your Internet connection. Check http://www.download-time.com/
For a test, I just downloaded Illustrator CC 2014 (1.6 GB), and the download completed within 13 minutes (and I am 10,000 km away from the Adobe download servers).
Try downloading from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2014-direct-download-links.html - make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page.

Why is it taking so long to download InDesign CC?

Why is it taking so long to download InDesign CC?
If I am not able to download the new applications, due to an extremely slow connection, does Adobe have other means to help me obtain the software?
Are there any 'other' solutions?

Yes, I was able to finally download two out of three of my applications. I waited three hours to get two pieces of software, and I still need to download one more application.
While talking to the customer service department in India, I was told that I could not get help in bypassing my slow Internet connection. Even though I have been a loyal and law abiding customer for thirteen years, Adobe's customer service department treated me like a piece of crap. All I wanted to do is get my applications on cd, so I can bypass the buggy and long downloading periods. I tried desperately to explain: (1) I have been a loyal customer for thirteen years, (2) I bought and committed to a yearly subscription, (3) I have followed Adobe's legal rules since day one, (4) I have no problems with the software's DRM, and (5) I love and support Adobe products.
Regardless about how much I sympathized with Adobe's position, I could not get your customer service department to 'care about me'. I walked away feeling depressed and defeated.
As a result of going through a horrible customer service experience, while also struggling with the change to cloud, I started to think about a change in career. Why do I want to be a graphic and web designer? I spent a crap load of money on an education, so that I can become a slave to the industry's dominate software maker. If it was not for the fact that Adobe's software is the industry's standard, the recent events with your customer service department would have made me walk away.
It sucks that your company has a 90% strangle hold on the industry I love.
