An iPhone among friends...
A friend just offered to buy my Black, 32 GB iPhone 4 (not S). He needs the extra space to upgrade from his 16GB iPhone 4 (also not S), and I need the extra space in a 64GB iPhone 5...
Anyway, is there anything we need to do, beyond wiping our iPhones and moving the SIM cards (I keep mine, he moves his to the 32 I'm selling him, etc.)? Will iTunes handle the transfer of my phone to him when he syncs "my" phone with "his" SIM?
He's planning to give his Mom his old 16, so I suppose he'll need to get a SIM from ATT, or whomever...
Also, I believe he has about 5 months left on contract. I don't imagine ATT would care if he swapped devices, so long as he didn't try to buy it from them, would they?
Thanks a bunch!
When an iPhone is no longer activated with cellular service, logging out of iMessage on the iPhone makes no difference since iMessage cannot be used on an iPhone that is not activate with cellular service.
How long have you had this number?
You can contact your carrier to ask how long your phone number was out of circulation or not available to be reassigned to someone else, and you can try calling AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby to determine if there is something they can do to resolve it.

I have a Verzion iPhone 4s with iOS 7 installed on it and the friend my friends dose not seem like it is working, and it is when it is trying to find a certain person, it says location unavaiable, and the other person with the other iphone it friend my friend is on in locations service and on the verzion iPhone it is on
Little hard to understand what you are asking. Let me guess that this not an Iphone4S issue. Its a problem with your service provider. Contact them.

Has anyone come up with the best way to create an iPhone/iTouch friendly version of a iWeb site?
One of the things I want apple to consider in the future is to make iWeb a higher level of website developing for mobile web browsers (iPhone's Safari). If they could get iWeb to create Javascript and html code specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch, then it would be much easier for iPhone users to interact in the web (instead of scrolling around everywhere).
The best you can do now is looking up ways to put javascript code into HTML Snippets, and then going from there, but it would take a lot of work. -

i bought a iphone froma friend just to use for a ipod but when i put it up to itunes it ask me for a sim card i dont have one and i was wonderiing how do i pass this problem
Insert a SIM card. If the phone is carrier locked, it must be from the correct carrier. You MUST have a SIM card present to activate the device. The SIM does NOT have to be "live". That is to say, the account it is/was tied to, does not have to be active.

hi , can any one help me with a problem ,,, i own an iphone 4 and creates my account in itunes months later my friend bought an ipod and created an account also but created in my pc and now both get sync in the same pc and all my personal data from the iphone 4 keeps getting copy and the ipod gets it and have acces to my personal data and apps gets my mail etc , can any one help me with this issue?
thnk youSorry to hear of your problem, but any hardware in a computer can fail - that includes the hard drive, the logic board, etc, etc. Fortunately, it usually doesn't happen that soon; however, I've read of hard drives failing within 6 months.
So, since you did not purchase the extended Applecare Protection Plan (3 years coverage), you will need to make a decision to repair or sell it as is. I would always purchase 3 year coverage for an all in one or a laptop because repairs are expensive and at least I'd be covered for 3 years.
We can't speculate on whether there should be a recall or not; these forums are for user to user assistance with technical problems. In your case, there is nothing we can help with since you've already gotten a diagnosis. -
I have 2 iPhones among my devices in iTunes. I need to deauthorize the correct one. Help!
My old standby Mac for sync-ing my iTunes library and my iPhone 4 was my G4 Mirror Doors PowerMac. The startup hard disk on that Mac crapped out last month, and my other option for keeping my iTunes & iPhone ecosystem up-to-date -- my MacBook 2.0 GHz -- has problems with its USB ports. SO, now I have pressed into action an eMac with a 1.25 GHz G4 processor, and with all the other requirements (iTunes, Safari, iOS 10.5.8, etc) for sync-ing my new (Jan '13) iPhone 4S.
I did my first sync today between the iPhone 4S and the eMac, via USB hardwire and iTunes. I wanted to load up my phone with music purchases from iCloud, but felt the fastest way to do that would be to first pull all my purchases down into the eMac from iCloud, via My Previous Purchases in iTunes. Once I entered my iTunes account info (via my Apple ID), iTunes showed me logged in. But I could not drag any music over to eMac from the 10 or so songs I have on my iPhone after downloading them from iCloud to several days ago.
I realized I had to authorize the eMac for my account. Checked the Manage Account > Manage Devices area in the iTunes Store, and it informed my that I had already used my 5 "computers" on my acccount, and two of them are iPhones. There is no information that tells me which iPhone is which, like a MAC address or EAN or serial #. One of them is probably the iPhone 4 that I just traded up from, but which I still have. The other iPhone entry shows "Associated December 28, 2012" in the listing of devices. That date matches the date I set up iCloud on my new iPhone 4S, so it should be saying that my new phone is among the 5 devices already authorized. So I just deleted the older iPhone listing,and now I have 4 devices. I just went to add in the Emac, and iTunes tells me I still have "5 computers" authorized on my account (and therefore still cannot add the eMac).
Are "devices" the same as "computers" in the eyes of iTunes DRM?
Is there a lag time in the iTunes database updating the fact that I deauthorized the (older) iPhone?The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

NO LONGER USING IPHONE BUT FRIENDS TEXTS GOING THROUGH AS IMESSAGES STILL
IMESSAGE HELP PLEASE:
I have recently ugraded my phone from an iPhone 3G to a Nokia. I still own the iphone but am just using it as an ipod. There is no sim in it, wifi disabled, imessages disabled, apple ID deactivated, icloud deactivated. However, I am not receiving text messaged from friends and family who have iphones as they are automatically going through as imessages on their phones. They have to then manually resend it as a text message. Why is this happening? They have deleted old message thread and my number and re-imput it but still no joy. They are not going through to the old iphone because I have disabled everything so they are just getting lost in space. It is frustrating for the other users as they have to keep resending messages. What more should I or they be doing for the messages to stop sending as imessages. ThanksSure you can. Whether your phone is in warranty or not, or how old it is, has no bearing on your ability to call AppleCare. So, if you want to fix this, call them.

My friend gave me her wifi password so I can connect at her house. I onnected my iPhone with no problems. But when I try to connect my MacBook Pro I keep getting a message that the password is invalid. It's the exact same password I used to connect my phone! recently she had relatives visit and the same thing happened for them. What's up?
You would do better to ask in the Mac Forum - this is the iPad forum.

My non iphone user friend is not getting my messages
My friend is not receiving my imessages. My Imessage ballon on my macbook air is not opening.
iMessage is specific to Apple devices. iOS devices and Macs. If they don't have an iOS device or a Mac, they will not get iMessages.
If they used to have an iPhone but no longer do, they need to de register iMessage.

forget my i phone in my friends house and she knows how to unlock it how can i change my passcode without my iphone.
If the "Find My iPhone" feature was already setup on the device, log in via iCloud.com and remotely lock the device. Otherwise nothing can be done.
