When u activate, just put the # you want the phone to be on

I, like alot of people used a family members upgrade to order the Iphone for me and was wondering how to activate it on my number.
All u have to do is activate it throught Itunes first. Than you dial *228 and when it asks u what is the 10 digit number you want to activate, make sure to put your number and not the # u ordered it on. Than wait about 5 to 10 minutes after u are done and u are good to go.
Loving the phone so far, except my youtube videos are not to clear. Anyone have any idaea why, or is that just the way it is?

Everyone else has said that it does the whole activation on iTunes, so how do you keep it from activating on the line that you bought it on? I haven't received my iPhone yet, but I'm going to swap it from another line and would like to do so without interrupting the other line's service.
Has anyone else done it this way?

    Yes, I have the option "NONE" on my phone but what happens is that I have the incoming text without any sound (selected in "none") but when I send a text, still happens! that annoying sound!

    I had just put the finishing touches on my 36 minute documentatary when I got an error message that the external 1TB HD I was using to store the project had been ejected improperly (must have shaken a cord).  The result is that the project would not load in the edit Projects window.  I can see the file in the finder window and it will launch iMovie but the file itself will not load in the projects window.
    I have contacted apple support and they tried to do a few things... to no available.
    With my limited knowledge of file structures I assume that the header file must be corrupt.
    Is there a 3rd party utility that can decompile and fix the file structure so it will load properly.  I've been working on this project since june and would hate to have to redo the whole thing again.

  • My iTunes v.10.6.3.25 is intermittently refusing to open. Sometimes re-booting my laptop works, sometimes not. I just put the computer to sleep, and when I woke it up, iTunes started automatically. Any thoughts?

    My iTunes v.10.6.3.25 is intermittently refusing to open. Sometimes re-booting my laptop works, sometimes not. I just put the computer to sleep, and when I woke it up, iTunes started automatically (I had been trying to open it just before by clicking on a song file in my Documents window, and that's the song that started playing when the pc woke up). I went to my iTunes Help and clicked Updates/download iTunes 10.7 twice, but got nothing. Now, Im wondering if I should downloacd the entire 10.7, or whether that would overwrite all my files, erasing my songs. Anybody know? Thanks.

    Hey thanks for replying.
    Here's what I did:
    First I tried the Winsock reset in the Command prompt. Nothing changed.
    Next, I tried the instructions on http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. The only other program that came up on the 'Winsock Providers' tab on the program was 2 Windows Live applications, which I can do without. So I deleted all Windows Live Applications.
    I did the Winsock reset in the Command Prompt again and rebooted my comp.
    Unfortunately, nothing has changed. iTunes keeps freezing at various stages of the sync, then shows the candy cane-striped bar with either the words 'Finishing sync' or 'Cancelling sync', before showing the Apple logo.
    Sometimes, iTunes gets to the syncing stage - "Copying # of ####" - where it will trudge through the first, second and third tracks before flashing "Copying 4 of ####" for a split second and I catch "Cancelling sync" briefly before the Apple logo appears.
    Again, I've repeated the steps I mentioned in my previous post. Does ANYONE know when the new version of iTunes is set to be released?! This one is driving me INSANE, to say the least!!

    I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version 13.152.0.0. When I activate puppet warp, the mesh appears over the image and I can place the first pin.  However, when I go to add the second pin, Photoshop crashes. I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?

  • IOS8 downgrade caused Siri to now keep asking "just to confirm, you want to call" on every call request.  Anyone else having this annoying issue?

    Ever since I made the mistake of moving to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5s, whenever I use Siri to place a phone call, I get "Just to confirm, you want to call <enter name>?"  It's driving me crazy!  I've resorted to disabling Siri and just using the native Voice Control, which works flawlessly for making phone calls, but not so well for other functions.  I tried wiping my phone and restoring from a backup, but no luck with that.  Apple doesn't seem to want to help since it's not a widely reported issue.  I've also noticed that incoming calls don't connect on my car's bluetooth, when that was never a problem.  Also, outgoing calls no longer make any sounds.  i never know if the call dropped, the phone bricked, or the call was answered unless the other person says something.  If only I could go back to iOS 7!!!

    I, too, had been suffering through Siri's relentless need to confirm calls that recently she (heh!) just called.
    Applecare support told me to backup and restore from that backup.  I balked at the need to spend so much time reloading my music and docs, and also asked what good would it do to replace the phone's data with a copy of what was there after the problems began.
    "Good question." was the reply.  No answer, though.
    I told her I had to go, hung up, turned Siri off and back on, and the problem disappeared.  It's been nearly 72 hours and all's well.
    Of course, YMMV, but it's painless and worth a shot.
    I hope it works for you, too.  And I hope Apple will better train their advisors to give more informed advice.
    Regards,
    Maurice

    Please see the bold.  If you're out of icloud storage, then you won't be able to backup to icloud unless you purchase more storage, but yet you said you backup to icloud.
    If you really did backup to icloud no data would be loss - sounds to me that it didn't backup since you had no more free icloud storage space.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

  • Just installed IOS 8 to iphone 5 and cannot connect to WI FI. Sometimes connects and when I begin to use the phone ot drops out.

    Just installed IOS 8 to iphone 5 and cannot connect to WI FI. Sometimes connects and when I begin to use the phone ot drops out.
    I have attempted all the regular trouble shoots such as resets, complete restore and reinstallation of ios 8. no change.

    I don't have an answer for you but from my experience iOS WiFi syncing has always been a hit and miss affair (more miss than hit I'm afraid). I have gotten to the stage where I rarely use the WiFi sync. It is just quicker, easier and much less stressful to use the USB cable. I am having the same issues with all the iOS devices in our family which includes various models of iPhone, iPad and an iPod Touch and have been having them since WiFi syncing was introduced (in iOS5 ???). And then I have not even mentioned my favorite iTunes syncing messages: "Waiting for items to copy" and "Waiting for changes to be applied"!
    iTunes is always extremely quick and eager to pick up the devices but as soon as I click on sync it shows "Looking for iDevice" and then the device disappears. I have found that initiating the sync from the Settings app on the device prevents this issue.
    It does however seem as if it is worse with Windows 7. I did not have so many issues with my previous Windows Vista PC.
    Sorry I cannot be of any help.

  • My iPhone has a protective cover on it and I carry it in my pocket a lot.  Quite often when I take it out of my pocket the silent/ring switch is off and I am sure it was on when I put the phone in my pocket.  How can this be happening?

    Protective cover as in screen protector?  This would have nothing to do with the silent switch.
    If you're referring to an actual case though... take the case off and see if the problem continues.
    It may be as simple as the silent switch being lose, which will require a device replacement to resolve.

  • Is it okay if we never shut down and just make the computer to sleep or we just put the flap(screen) to save the energy?

    is it okay if we never shut down and just make the computer to sleep or we just put the flap(screen) to save the energy?

    I recommend users to put their computers into sleep mode to save energy, and also, they won't waste time turning on their computers. You should only turn off your computer if you aren't going to use it for a very long time, but sleep mode is perfect. If you just turn off the display, your computer will still be working, so you mustn't do this unless you are going to use your computer in a short time

    Are you using a case that may be blocking or partially blocking the iPhone's proximity sensor?
    If you are using the case, remove the case to see if the same occurs without the case.
    If you are using a case and the same does not occur without the case, you need to get a different case that is specifically designed for your iPhone model taking into account where the light and proximity sensors are located which is different for the first generation iPhone and 3G/3GS.
