Apple and AT&T leave me with no option...

Ok, so I am in the military, and I recently got orders to the UK, and I have asked Apple and AT&T if I could get an unlock code for me and wife's 3GS. I even offered to fax in a copy of my orders and still AT&T will not help. Apple says AT&T is the only one who can issue an unlock code, and I really don't want to have to purchase two new iPhones in England, seeing as how I am not canceling my AT&T contract. I doesnt seem right to me. Does anyone know how I can get them to help me out? I am not trying to do anything Apple doesnt condone, but Apple and AT&T are leaving me with no option...
Any help would be appreciated.

can't swap with someone coming home?
Beyond that, the word of the day is "escalate". Escalate your issue until someone can tell you why not. "Can't" has many different dementions. Chances are it's some DA FCC law, but I would push till someone answers you. You're their customer, and you feed their kids, the least they can do is give you a straight answer.
If it ends up being an FCC rule, then ask whatever level of manager you make it to: to suggest to the company to begin a project to get a program started to help our beloved servicemen/women in exactly your situation. Managers have avenues to make those suggestions for this exact reason. At&t is a very military friendly organization, and I would love to think that someone there would love nothing more than to help you out.
Then write your congressman (or this month's applicable Czar) about the jacked up FCC rule that has you, as a serviceman, nailed to a wall.
God Bless, we love you

  • I have a PowerBook 145B but something is wrong with the systemfolder so it wont boot. I've downloaded System 7.0.1 from Apple and put it on Floppys with my Macintosh Classic. The PowerBook boots from the floppy, after a minute its just white. What to do?

    I have a PowerBook 145B but something is wrong with the systemfolder so it wont boot. I've downloaded System 7.0.1 from Apple and put it on Floppys with my Macintosh Classic. The PowerBook boots from the floppy but after a minute it just comes up a window thats completely white.
    I've tried a lot of things, but my Macintosh classic (with original floppys) runs 7.0.0. And the PowerBook needs atleast 7.0.1 and did run 7.1.0 as original OS.
    How do I fix this?

    Because your PowerBook 145B shipped with OS 7.1, it can't run an earlier version of the Mac OS, such as 7.0.1.  Unfortunately, Apple never made OS 7.1 available for download.  You can run OS 7.5.1, 7.5.3, and 7.5.5 on your PowerBook, but I'd recommend doing so with the maximum amount of supported memory - 8 MBs.  The 19-part download of OS 7.5.3 is segmented, so that each one will fit on a 1.44 MB floppy disk.  The problem is that the 19-diskette set isn't an installer set as such, having no bootable disk.  It's solely intended to be used to transfer the individual segments to the resident hard drive in the computer.  Once that's done, double-clicking the first .smi segment creates the OS 7.5.3 installer disk image on the desktop, which you drag onto the hard drive icon.  This produces a folder with the OS 7.5.3 installer in it.  I've done this before with an old Mac LC and it works.  You can also download the 3-diskette OS 7.5.5 Update and run that.  These downloads can be found on the same page where you found the OS 7.0.1 download: Older Software Downloads.

  • I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don't remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone.

    How i said on the question. I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don’t remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone. I have the phone box and the bill. I sent you an email with my problem and attachments with the box informations, the bill and the reset request. What to do? You said to me:
    Your request comes from an unrecognized email domain. Apple accepts email requests only from email domains for Apple-authorized carriers.
    Please re-submit your request using your official carrier domain.
    but this email is authorized, what to do??

    i like the "whites" and "blacks" sliders in lightroom with the option key pressed- is there a corresponding slider in aperture? thank you

    There's no exact analogue to the "whites" slider in Aperture.  But you could do it with curves if you wanted.  You can set the white point using the curves tool as well.

    You could try to write a web service that returns a byte array and convert the image to bytes, and convert it back into an image again.

  • I am having ipad 3.whenever i sync ipad with my pc the computer stucks during the sync and leaves me with the option of turning off my pc and restarting it.I am using windows xp.

    This problem started to occur from day 1 but since then i rarely use itunes.But now i want to upgrade to ios 7 when its available via itunes.

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

  • After update, my firefox reverted to my old and unusable bookmarks leaving me with numerous lost bookmarks. How do I get them back?

    I recently updated my firefox and when I opened it, all of my bookmarks that I've made over the past several updates are gone. My current page shows bookmarks that I have deleted a long time ago or are no longer working. Even bookmarks that I have saved in folders are gone. My stumbleupon is also missing and will not update. As a teacher, many of my bookmarks were important and I would really appreciate some help.

    I have tried opening my previous bookmarks and restoring them, but even the "recently bookmarked" section shows bookmarks that I made years ago instead of the ones that I made today.

  • Validate plant and material on selection screen with select-options

    Hi all,
    I want to validate plant and material on selection screen. More over I need to validate the combination of that also (i.e plant based materials). Individually I made the validations, but combination I didn’t get it.
    For your information both are select-options, please reply me if you have an idea. The table to get the relationship is KEKO. <b>I have the below code for parameters, but I require code for select options.</b>
    SELECT MATNR WERKS FROM KEKO UP TO 1 ROWS
    INTO (KEKO-MATNR, KEKO-WERKS)
    WHERE MATNR = P_MATNR AND
    WERKS = P_WERKS.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    MESSAGE E023 WITH 'COST ESTIMATE NOT FOUND FOR '
    P_MATNR P_WERKS 'COMBINATION'.
    ENDIF.
    ENDSELECT.
    Surely I will reward you.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Raghu.

    Raghu,
    You can't validate on select-options, MARC will have N to 1 relation between Material and plant.
    You can do one thing, keep material as select-option and plant as parameter, now you can validate the materials on plant level.
    Reward if this helps,
    Satish

  • Switced from Full GUI installation to minimal server interface or server core and stucked on black screen with no option

    hi.
    i have a virtual machine running Windows Server 2012 R2 Data Center Edition, using Hyper-V technology, as a lab machine to test and practice core features.

    using Powershell commands as bellow:
    Import-Module ServerManager

    after that the VM will stuck in a black screen.
    Tried to reach RUN TASK window to bring up CMD.EXE or any thing but even the ALT+CTRL+DEL (ALT+CTRL+END in VM) is not working and technically i cant do anything. considering CPU USAGE in hyper-V Manager is changing for the VM, i let the VM

  • Leopard won't go past the grey apple and the paddle wheel.

    *Problem with start up on Leopard 10.5*
    This Imac only goes to the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning paddle wheel and no further. What can I do?
    Last night the screen froze over and I couldn’t force quit, so I switched off. Was only running safari, after installing some graphics upgrade from Apple.
    Today I’ve tried switching on with :=
    1. D. Hardware diagnostics. No problems found.
    2. Shift - Start in Safe mode. No effect. Grey apple and paddle wheel.
    3. Command + S. Provides a text screen which end with
    CSRHIDTransitionDriver: start booting in single user … will wait for window Server
    and nothing happens however long it's left
    3a. Command + V. Verbose mode? as above but, after the reference to firewire Lucent the CSRHIDTransitionDriver has 4 lines:
    CSRHIDTransitionDriver::start [-v]
    CSRHIDTransitionDriver::switchToHCIMode legacy
    USBF 2.517 CSRHIDTransitionDriver etc etc
    CSRHIDTransitionDriver ... done
    4. C to start from CD. Repaired disk and disk permissions.
    5. Command Option P R. Reset the PRAM
    6. Shift. Safe boot again. No effect again. Grey apple and paddle wheel.
    7. Command Option O F to open firmware. Well, it didn’t work. Nothing happened and I did not reset nvram.
    8. Tried to restart from 10.4 cd but this didn’t help.
    9. Command + S. Again. Provides a text screen which end with CSRHIDTransitionDriver: start booting in single user … will wait for window Server
    Any suggestion how to cure this will be greatly appreciated.
    Or, how to set about reinstalling Leopard while preserving as much data as poss.

    Are you calling Single User Mode what I understand to be Single User Mode?
    What happens if you restart the machine holding the command (Apple logo, cloverleaf) key together with the S key? Do you get a command line? If you do, you should be able to use
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306857
    If you don't get a command line, are you using an Apple wired keyboard to hit the shortcut? Non-Apple keyboards and wireless keyboards may not be able to activate the keyboard sequence.
    If you are getting the command line without results, the spacing fo the command is critical. I will show you with the underscore as in: _ where to put the space:
    /sbin/fsck_-fy
    /sbin/mount-uw/
    rm-rf/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/ApplicationEnhancer.bundle
    It is important you observe the upper/lowercase spellings above.

  • Apple and iPod Score another Big C

    As much as I hate to say it.... I am going to be buying my very first iPod..... I hate saying it, but yesterdays announcement of iPod partnering with Nike to give you an MP3 player that has a plug in accessory that calculates Running Pace and gives you the ability to program in interval workouts was the straw that broke the camels back. I really love my Creative Zen Sleek, and I love the fact that I can download unlimited music from Yahoo!Unlimited service.... The killer of the entire deal is accessories, or lack there of from creative players. Apple and iPod hit the mark with this one and thier Nano.... It gives you verbal feedback of how far you've run, avg pace, and has the ability to change to an uptempo song if you've prerecorded an interval workout.
    Sorry creative, you missed the mark. Prehaps you should watch and learn from the TV Show Apprentice, because if this were a task between two teams, you would have just been crushed, and ended up in the board room where someone would be fired.
    The electronics industry by nature is a very low profit margin biz. You can't expect that just selling the players is where the bucks lie. You have to figure out a way to sell the player, and then cash in on all of the little accessories once those people have purchased thier product. That's where the cash is, and Apple has capitolized on this market.
    I love your product, it is a thing of beauty and sounds great..... It's just not 00% there.
    Dazed, Confused and Dissapointed...
    TheBobke

    Yeah sure im going to go buy a 200$ pair of shoes and a 50$ nano adapter, a 200$ nano and convert all my music to .acc format (and me stuck with ipods for the rest of my life) just to know how little callories im actually burning while running around my house.
    2 weeks later ipod nano screen is so scratched you cant see the screen.
    It's obviously a very cool addition to the franchise, but really unless you are a fitness freak this is even farther from being an intelligent purchase. If you have money, a Mac and are a fitness freak then it is a good product! Scratches, cracking aside. No offense but i doubt you are. It's agreed creative lacks in some fun accesories, but their asian what can you expect?
    What firmware problem can you have, three weeks after the Vision:M comes out a significant update is released that fixed all the problems. The device works perfectly for me, and my brothers Ipod video doesnt.

  • HT201322 It doesn't provide me with the option to hide when I swipe left and right nothing changes or happens

    When I try to hide something from my App Store purchased list i found out form this to swipe left or right and it should provide me with the option to hide the item but it doesn't and it's annoying me seriously. I deleted the application for a **** good reason someone please help me or tell me what to do

    It doesn't appear to work on iOS 6 (and neither does unhiding, though you can still view and download them) - whether that is permanent or only temporary I don't know. You should still be able to hide things via your computer's iTunes.
