Able to get new phone for Christmas present if not Account Owner?
Okay so I have a gifted from the trade-in program and I want to buy my dad the phone he has been wanting for Christmas. He is eligible for an upgrade, but he is the only account owner. So I am wondering if I will be able to purchase him the phone he wants for Christmas and not yet put it on our plan and than after Christmas he can go into the store and activate it himself and so on. But before I waste gas going to the store, I just want to know if I am able to do that?
Even if i don't put it on the account yet... and i just buy it and he does whatever he has to do with it.

New Iphone for Christmas present.
Im really wanting to get my boyfriend the new iphone for christmas since he already has a plan with at&t. The only problem is I don't want him to know until christmas and then after christmas we both go in together to get his phone number transferred over to the iphone. My question is, is there anyway to just buy the iphone with out switching the contract over to the new phone or getting a new one? Because right now all I want to do is basically get an empty sell of a phone. lol
Well to get a phone at the price advertised (the subsidized price) you have to 1) be eligible for an upgrade if you already are with AT&T) and 2, agree to two year extension. Thus your boyfriend has to be present to do so as he has to authorize.
Otherwise you have to pay FULL price for a contract free iPhone (a lot more money).
So pretty much need to just print out a nice picture of the iPhone, put it in a card and say you want to buy him one. -
Restoring new MacBook to intro video for Christmas present after install
Ok, king of the stupid questions:
How do I restore the new MacBook to pristine, turn it on and get the full effect first time intro video? I just got a new CoreDuo 13" black laptop for my fiance for Christmas. I installed Office and a couple of other things, set it up to connect wirelessly to my network, etc. But, I would like her to turn it on and get the full-on Welcome, Bienvenido, Wilkommen, etc. video that Apple had set it -- I was impressed.
I know, I know. Why didn't I let her do the install, the set up, and let her enjoy the new Mac experience -- this is her first. I'm ditching her Gateway once she transitions. Well, she doesn't care about or have time for that crap. I know she'll love it, but now she's focused on kids, school, and me, and computers are tools to do her homework, etc.
I'm sure it's an easy fix, like deleting a cookie or prefs file. But, I don't want to mess around with her new box too much. I'm even going to wipe my greasy fingerprints off before I rebox it for Christmas.
Help.
Thanks,
John

dual450G4, 17"Powerbook, blackCoreDuo13" Mac OS X (10.4.8)You might have a look at THIS discussion from the other day. If you follow what I instructed and also what Kappy added (very important) you should be able to give your fiance a "new" MacBook for Christmas.
Bad boy. You shouldn't play with her present. -
When I pre ordered my iphone 6 i was told I was going to get an additional 1 gig of data per month for a year. It even shows it on the receipt i received with the phone. When will I see that reflected on my account. I have had my new phone for a week and used tons more data than usual and am hoping that will save me this month.
concretedonkey, I'm glad you were able to take advantage of this offer when you ordered your new iPhone 6. I can certainly review your account to ensure this was added for you. Please reply to the direct message I have sent you.

I received LR 5 for Christmas but have not downloaded it yet on my computer. I have had LR 3 for about 4 years. I am due to buy a new computer soon but need to know how many licenses/downloads I will get before downloading LR 5 on my current computer. I may also purchase a laptop in the next year so that would require 3 licenses altogether (current iMac, future iMac, future macbook).
You have one license.
You can download and install it on an infinite number of computers, as long as it is only installed on two of your computers at any one time, and in use on only one computer at any given time.
So in your case, current iMac, that's would mean its installed on one computer, no problem. Future iMac and future MacBook ... so if you uninstall from current iMac and install on Future iMac and future MacBook, it's now installed on two computers at a time, no problem, as long as you're not using Lightroom on both simultaneously. And if after that, you got two new computers and uninstalled Lightroom from the previous two, you're still good, it's only installed on two computers at any one time. -
I got a new ipad2 for Christmas and I am unable to get it to accept my password for my wifi. I am using the same password that I have always used for all of my other devices. Can somebody help me????
Hi there
I had the same trouble today, I kept entering the sky password but would not accept, my iMac and iPod work ok but just could not get my iPod to work. But I found the fault, the password is case sensitive and mine on sky is in caps, the up arrows on the keypad put the caps on,but after each letter you must put the caps back or it wil revert to lower case, I hope this may help you -

Just call your provider and tell them what you want and they will help you get it done properly. -
My dad just got the new MacBook for Christmas. His friends all use PC's....
My dad just got the new MacBook for Christmas. His friends all use PC's and they keep sending him these joke email attatchment files that he can't open on his Mac. One was a .wma audio file, presumably some were video files. Is it possible for him to read these files on his Mac with some aditional software or not? I haven't used Mac's predomanatly before so I'm unsure. What software should he download?
Playing video files from your computer is completely independent of the optical drive. You could play say a Windows Media file even if you didn't have a drive as long as that file is on your computer.
That said some report problems using VLC to play DVD's (hence using your optical drive).
But to the original poster..... Flip4Mac and/or VLC that was suggested should do the trick. About the only thing that would stop those would be a WM10 file that have DRM attached and there's nothing you can use at this point. It's highly unlikely that a bunch of jokes being sent around (great way to get a virus by the way, I know you probably won't and that's why you have a Mac but you get the idea) is using WM10 though. -
If I purchase an Iphone 5s factory unlocked in the US from the Apple store and bring it to India, will I be able to purchase a global warranty? If not then will i be able to get the phone serviced here in India from the authorised dealer/agent in India?

No, as there is no such thing for an iPhone.

Nope. You'll only be able to get the phone serviced in the US...no one will touch it in India. -

NOt able to get text value for 0calmonth in the query
hi,
I am not able to get the test for the calmonth in the selection screen of the Query.
i.e If the user enter the value 01/2010 as input in the selection screen. I am not able to get its text Janurary 2010 displayed in the selection screen of the query.
please let me know what could be the reason for this.
regards,
MaheshHi Mahesh,
I regret to inform you there is no option to display the month text.
The system works as designed. The "Key and text" option for the
infoObject is for display the technical name and the description.
I found a customer on SDN which the same doubt and the answer for your
question. Please, check the link below:

I just bought a 5S Iphone and will be retiring my Iphone 4. The music copied from Itunes to my new phone, but the apps did not. How do I get the apps to copy to my new Iphone?
The same way they were put on the previous iPhone, sync them.
Alternatively, read the article from which the question was posted and follow the explicit instructions provided. -
