Will Apple help me with this issue?

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a student in China, I really need your help, my iphone now problems bothers me! HELP ME PLEASE!!!
As I bought my iPhone 4s(16GB,White) in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax,  unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in China  using local carrier.Now I am in China, not the normal use of the phone, I rely on odd jobs to earn, very not easy, English is not my mother tongue, maybe there are many grammatical mistakes, I hope you'll forgive me! Mobile phone can not be used normally I am very sad, I can not contact the parents and friends, can not let them worry about me, I've tried all means, including the upgrade to 6.1, but still can not solve the problem, I think maybe I am in China, so can not be used normally, at this moment I am very anxious, because of the time difference, it is later I can send mail, you can see it, please help me, a Chinese student's request!
I tried all the possible solutions from the Internet, and the Official solution offered by Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4459), but it doesn't seem to work.
Will Apple help me with this issue? Please do.THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

We are not Apple, and Apple does not unlock phones. Sprint will unlock phones, but you have to qualify. One of the qualifications is to have been a customer in good standing for a period of time. You can check their website for what that is. After that, they can unlock the GSM side of the phone for International use, that is it. If you are on a CDMA carrier, then it cannot be unlocked. Are you trying to use a local SIM card in China?
Your only option is to contact Sprint to see if you qualify for an unlock. Only they can unlock it. Sprint is one of the poorest choices to take to another country.

  • Hey guy can you please help me with this issue PLEASE!

    Hey Apple can you please help me with this issue, i have a iPhone 3gs and when i put my sim card into the iPhone it makes iphone 3gs shut down suddenly how do i fix that?
    iPhone version: 6.0.1
    service provider: Vodafone nz

    You could restarting your phone that sometimes fixes issues
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

  • HT5655 I followed all the instructions to update Flash Player, but the installation fails at around 90%, it says that there is an Application running (Safari) bit I actually close all Apps. already. can someone help me with this issue ?? Thanks

    I have followed the instructions to update Flash Player, the Installation Fails at about 90%, it says that there is an Application running (Safari) and it says to close all the apps. and start again ... but I already close all the Applications ... none is running ... can someone help me with this issue ??? Thanks ...

    Dear Dominic
    Brilliant reply. Simple English. Simple to follow instructions. And it worked immediately, first time.
    Why couldn't the Apple and Adobe corporations get their programming right first time? We spend billions of UK pounds and US dollars with them. They reply with incompetent programming such as this, and arrogance to their customers in issuing faulty systems without doing the most rudimentary checks.
    Anyway, I certainly shan't be buying another Apple as this is the most unreliable, most incomprehensible, most illogical and downright thoughtless shoddy piece of computer kit which I have ever owned. And all of it is rubbish ~ emails disappear, photos can't be organised properly, spreadsheets don't work, Pages is laborious… the list goes on and on...
    But thanks to you Dominic, I have been able to load Adoble Flashj… maybe eyou should get  a job at Apple, and set them all on the right course to how to work simply and correctly with customers.
    Thanks again,
    David

    That's not very intuitive
    Check your mail server setup (mail>preferences>accounts>) choose your MobileMe account and select Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) dropdown box, select Edit SMTP server list, verify that each instance of the me server has a password, if there are more than one and you only have one account then delete the one without a password.

  • My display text of macbook pro 10.7.5 appears blurred , can any body help me with this issue. Everything i open now - chrome, safari - appears blurred

    Everything on my macbook air 10.7.5 appears blurred. I tried searching a few things but didnt get any success.
    Can anybody please help me with this ?

    Nothing looks blurred to me on the screen shot you posted.  However, I did notice that some of the fonts in the tabs are faded.  Which browser are you using?  You should post in a browser forum about that and also the blurring that you see. 
    Since your Finder fonts looks blurry to you, go to System Preferences/Personal/Appearance - play around with the text smoothing setting.  If that does not work, play around with the resolution settings - System Preferences/Displays/Display

  • Can't find previous owner of Ipad. come'n Apple you got to help us with this issue!.

    Apple. are we gona get help to all of us who bought a second hand devices to bring'em to life? or what your plan is???

    This is a user to user forum - you aren't talking to Apple here. However this question has unfortunately arisen frequently and the answer isn't a happy one: 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 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 can neither unlock it nor trace him 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.

  • Will Apple help us with ATT rate hikes? Who do I contact?

    Just a few months ago - and at the time I entered into my 2 year contract - unlimited textings was avaialble for less that 5 dollars more. But that is now gone and what has taken its place is just Dick Channey crazy!
    Wasnt the whole point of APPLE insisting that phone plans all come with unlimited internet so that this would encourage the owners to fully integrate the iphone in to their daily lives? Does having huge rate increases in texting help that cause ?
    MY QUESTION TO APPLE and its user forums - WHO do I contact at apple or at ATT for help on this issue??
    Thats what I want in a nutshell. If you want, I can tell ya more.
    Harry
    iphone, ipod and shuffle owner
    MORE is this...........................
    I do understand the nature of big business and partnerships etc.
    I do understand that Apple would like to not be involved in disputes between ATT and its customers.
    I GET THAT. But can Apple help me anyway just for the reason that I WANT TO KEEP MY IPHONE?!?!?
    ATT has implemented monsterous rate hikes and LIMITATIONS on package combinations so that iphone users will pay as much or more for Texting than they do for unlimited internet.
    We had to live with unlimited internet not including unlimited texting. OK fine, thats how it was when we signed up and you have to take it or leave it. But now with the new changes in rates - here is what the iphone user has as their options.
    200 included texts for free
    or
    $5 - get 200 more - 400 texts total
    or
    THE NEXT OPTION - $20 MORE, for not unlimited but 1500 texts.
    Does having to keep an eye on your text totals or paying at least $85 / month sound like the vision that apple wanted for the iphone users?
    if it doesnt, WILL YOU HELP US?

    I didnt forget that - its I dont know that statement to be true.
    I have been with ATT since Cingular and I've had internet,text and MMS combo packages for some time now; that Includes shopping around for the right phone and plans combo. And I know for a fact that there were MANY combos of unlimited and they were FAR from 50 bucks.
    There certainly might be a webpage or two with some ancient pricing plans offered. And I am sure that any one of those would be superceeded by another new price offer on the same plan.
    so I didnt forget that; I knew it to be not on point.

  • My ipod touch is stuck on the 4.2.1 software, its a 3rd gen as well i was just wondering why i can not get the lastest update can you please help me with this issue

    i have been having an issue with updating my ipod touch for some time now and i can not seem to get it to update to the lastest update. it is stuck on 4.2.1 software and i can not update it to 4.3 or any other ios software update. can you please help me to solve this issue.

    It sounds like you actually have a 2G iPod Touch which can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1.  If it's an 8 GB iPod Touch it's definitely a 2G iPod Touch as there was never such a thing as a 3G 8 GB iPod Touch. See this article to help verify what generation iPod Touch you have.
