Am I THE ONLY stupid person out of millions that didn't know that.....

.....a previously activated iPhone cannot be reset and reactivated with a new phone number? I bought a used iPhone from a private party and according to this article (http://iphone.byethost9.com/iphone-news/no-iphone-on-ebay-3.html) the phone that's currently sitting on my desk is a brick. I'm sure many people are buying/bought brand new sealed iPhone on eBay, but I'm sure there are also people like me who bought used ones. Considering that, I'm amazed at the fact that I can't find an answer to my question anywhere on the net. Should I just call AT&T on Monday?

You don't have to wait until Monday - just walk into your local ATT store...if you call ATT, they are going to either send you to your local store anyway, otherwise they have to mail it to you and that will take another week.
All ATT stores in my neighborhood are open on Sundays.
The short answer though, is, NO, YOU CANNOT REACTIVATE AN OLD SIM....YES YOU CAN GET A NEW ONE FREE.
ATT uses SIM cards -- the phones themselves have no value without the SIM. The SIM can be added, removed, swapped (except in an iPhone), etc. But it can not be used twice for different numbers.

    But remember it is always up to the customer to insure what they are getting and what it costs. Don't trust the word of a sales person who makes their living on getting that sale. Lies, deceit or false promises will be and have been used by sales people for thousands of years.

  • Since I downloaded the newest update, my phone only rings or makes text sounds about 10% of the time. It can be sitting in front of me and a call or text comes in. No sound, just a msg on the screen. Anyone out there having that problem?

    Since I downloaded the newest update, my phone only rings or makes text sounds about 10% of the time. It can be sitting in front of me and a call or text comes in. No sound, just a msg on the screen. Anyone out there having that problem?  It's not a problem in the settings as I set the rings and tones I want. The rare one comes thru with sound. I never had any problems before update.

    No, sounds like when you dropped it an cracked the screen it may have also damaged the logic board or the repair person damaged a cable.

  • If a buddy's screename is faded (in the offline section), but a video icon is still next to the screename, and if you right click on the name "video chat" is an option, what does this mean? it is the only one on my whole list that has this.

    Hi,
    It could be some sort of "flagging" issue where either the AIM Servers have gone out of sync and you are getting two lots of info  (There are about three or four servers involved with getting data to your Buddy list)
    I can also see the possibility where you have a Contact in your Address Book who has two Screen Names.
    You have one in one group and in another they appear to be Off Line.  However iChat will still Link them and Show their Capabilities when you Right Click.
    One way of checking this is to double click them to open a Text Chat Window.
    At the top is the Recipients Bar  (See View Menu when  Text Chat is Open).
    This gives you the option to chose a different Buddy Name if the contact has two  (It offers To and From options if you both have Multiple Accounts).
    Pic of an Old Chat to someone with Multiple "Names"
    They have an @Mac.com name and  Jabber ID  (As it is an Old Chat the Jabber one is Off Line and their @mac.com name is currently "Away"
    You can see I have a Google and three AIM Logins I could use to Speak to them.

    I recently updated my IOS using the beta found on an iTunes account link... Ever since then I've been unable to log into my iMessages and FaceTime account through my iTunes.  The only explanation it gives me is that my connection was lost.... What to do?

    It was downloaded through my iTunes account... So im sure it wasn't pirated. It's nothing more than a beta test to work out the bugs.  But do u have any suggestions as to how i can about redownloading the same iOS but now the 'bugs' should be all worked out....

    I updated to imovie 11 on my iPhone 4 and my old videos were the only ones there. Everybody else that had this problem went to settings > privacy > photos  then turned on access to photos from imovie. When I went to the settings and went to photos there was no imovie option.
    Please help ASAP

    I have exactly the same problem and cannot see the imovie privacy option in photos either

  • Is a W5xx the only way to get a thinkpad that will take 4 sodimms?

    Hi Guys,
    From my research, it looks like the W series is the only way I can get a thinkpad that will take 32gb of RAM.  Ideally I would love a T430 as I like the slightly smaller form factor.
    I have seen a reference though to T530 with a quad core CPU offering 4 slots as well, but haven't found anything to back that up.
    So am keen to hear what you guys have to say.
    Thanks
    Gordon

    Yes, T530 has 4 Slots when you get one with a Quad-Core CPU.
    And no, the T430 takes a maximum of 16 GB. You can´t get the T430 with 32 GB of RAM.
    That is correct. From PSREF:
    dual-core model:
    16GB max7, two 204-pin SO-DIMM sockets
    quad-core model:
    32GB max, four 204-pin SO-DIMM sockets
    All:
    PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3, non-parity, dual-channel capable
    Are we talking about T or W here?
    I'm getting confused.  I don't see any 4-slot option in the PSREF/tabook for the T530.

  • I no longer can download my Canon photos to my iPad Mini.   The only change to my technology is that I download IOS7 to my iPad.  What am I doing wrong?

    Did someone ever experience not being able to download photos to their iPad?  Everything worked well when I was on a trip.  Today, I tried to download photos and nothing happens.  My camera seems to shut off.  The only change I can see to my iPad is that I downloaded IOS 7 and I've recently purchased an iPhone 5s.    I'm not sure what this has to do with it but perhaps I should do something to my settings on my iPad?    I would really appreciate some help if you've experienced something similar?    Thank you so much.

    That was the fix! Thanks for the quick reply. Great to be back on Firefox!

  • TS1424 I just wanted to download ONE song Joy to the World from Merry Axemas album; the whole album had to be purchased, then the only song I really wanted to buy didn't fully download; rip-off; please fix ASAP

    I need a refund of $8 bucks the Merry Axemas album cost because I just wanted one song that wouldn't download OR
    just the one song in it's ENTIRETY instead of just half of it. 
    The beauty here is I only wanted one song but iTunes would NOT allow download of just one song making the user - ME- attempt to download the whole album which of course was short the ONLY song I desired downloaded.
    Would you please remedy this situation pronto?

    Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. The people who will reply to your posts are, like me, in almost all cases your fellow users.
    If the track you wanted was only available when purchasing the entire album, as I see most on that album are, then that was how the content owner insisted it be done and there's nothing Apple can do about it. If you then chose to purchase the entire album, that was your choice. It's unlikely that Apple will now refund your money on that basis.
    As to a defective track, delete the problem track(s) from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file(s) to the Trash. Then download the track(s) again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the tracks persist, go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • I set up my emails coming in on my computer so they would appear on my ipad, the only problem I am having is that sometimes my emails are only coming in on my ipad and not on my computer.  Until I open them on my ipad they will not appear on my computer.

    I set up my emails so when they arrive on my computer, they would also arrive on my Ipad.  The problem I'm having is there are times when an email arrives on my Ipad but not on my computer.  Unless I open the email on my Ipad, it will not open on my computer.  How can I have the two divices work in unison where the emails arrive on both at the same time?

    Both libraries would need to have been setup to use home sharing with the same Apple ID in order for that to work.

  • The settings I need are the only ones locked out.

    I am trying to have my settings allow third party apps but it won't work. I put in the admin password and I click the lock. Everything is unlocked except the one section of settings I need. You can find what I'm talking about in the General tab of Security & Privacy in System Preferences.

    Is it grayed out? Have you tried control - clicking on the file and using the contextual menu?

  • Is "Enter" the only way to let an ABAP OO editable ALV know data's changed?

    In the past two years, I've coded numerous ABAP OO editable ALV's, and once Uwe set me straight about how ti use the canned "handle data changed" methods,. it's been very straightforward.
    But here's my question.
    I have a modal dialog box in a MIGO dialog exit (yes, there is one although it's in a very odd function group - XQSM.)
    In the modal dialog box, I have an editable ALV and an OK pushbutton underneath it.
    If the user enters data into the ALV and then presses OK immediately afterwards (without pressing ENTER first), the ALV doesn't recognize that data has been entered.  So the underlying itab winds up empty.
    What is the right way to handle this?
    Is there a way of forcing the ALV to do its thing from within the PAI that handles the OK pushbutton?
    At my last client, the customers were willing to live with this as a training issue - tell the users to hit ENTER at least once before pressing OK.
    But surely, SAP must have something else in mind here that I'm not yet aware of.
    Thanks for any advice anyone can provide.

    Hi Vijay -
    Thanks for both answers!
    Regarding your first answer, here's my current code:
    class lcl_event_receiver          definition deferred.
    data:
      o_event_receiver                  type ref to lcl_event_receiver.
    class lcl_event_receiver definition.
    public section.
        methods:
          handle_data_changed
             for event data_changed of cl_gui_alv_grid
                 importing er_data_changed.
    private section.
    endclass.
    And this:
      call method o_grid->register_edit_event
                   exporting
                      i_event_id = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_evt_enter.
      create object o_event_receiver.
      set handler o_event_receiver->handle_data_changed for o_grid
    Are you saying that instead of mc_evt_enter, I should use "mc_evt_modified" ????
    Please clarify if you have the time.
    Thanks

  • My Mac (10.5.8) has been crashing this week while using Firefox. The Firefox and Thunderbird updates are the only updates I can think of that are recent. Any ideas?

    My whole Mac has crashed a number of times both yesterday and today. This is very unusual. I'm not positive it's because of Firefox's new update, but it seemed like a good guess, and it was usually when I was on various websites (I was going through a lot of emails from news lists and clicking on links). I use Thunderbird for email, and Firefox is my browser of preference. It crashed three times so far today, over several hours, and yesterday I guess it probably crashed about 6 times -- not sure.
