Are you having wrong number display in "My Number" on iPhone 4S after porting # from another carrier? Try this.

My story: I am in the US. I went from carrier AT&T to Sprint, and ported my old number over after purchasing and recieving a new iPhone 4S from Sprint. Since the phone was shipped, I waited to port until I had the phone in hand to avoid changeover delays.
All worked fine except:
Sometimes when texting to my contacts, they reported the number showing up as the # issued to te phone when shipped, not my old ported #.
"My Number" on iPhone 4S showed shipped number, not ported number.
I discovered the problem is the number rooted in "My Number". Since it didn't change as expected, certain functions including Facetime and iMessage referred to "My Number".
So here's the fix:
From your Sprint iPhone 4s, dial ##873283#
A pop-up window will open, hit OK to "Start Service Update".
Another pop-up will open shortly, "Service Update Complete", Hit "Done"
Power cycle your iPhone 4s. You're now done. All should be fixed.
I don't claim coming up with this fix. I discovered it after trolling many forums on the subject to find one that fit my exact circumstance. This may work on your carriers as well, but refer to your carrier service tech support to make sure the Service Update code is the same. I shared this fix with Sprint Support, as they knew nothing about it, and it's become part of their normal procedure to address this particular issue.
Hope it helps for you!

Thanks, this really worked! I'll recomend this post to friends.

Does Firefox OS have a feature that alerts or notify's you if an incoming call has been redirected or diverted to your phone (from another phone)?

Hi, Was wondering if
Firefox OS have a feature that alerts or notify's you if an incoming call has been redirected or diverted to
your phone (from another phone)?
This feature was common in basic phones and feature phones but is absent on Android, Apple
and Windows phones.
It's useful if your operating a business and want to distinguish if an incoming call is a personal
or a business call.
Cheers
Greg

Hi GregCh,
I understand that you would like a way to distinguish between incoming calls that were dialed directly to your phone number, and incoming calls that were forwarded to your phone number (from another phone).
Unfortunately, there is no such feature in Firefox OS that I am aware of. Forwarding services such as Google Voice may have settings available that would allow you to distinguish the forwarded incoming calls, but I am not entirely sure.
Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Firefox OS device.
Thanks,

Hi melbernai - not sure if you've solved this problem yet. I had the exact same problem recently with my 2nd Gen iPod Nano. I solved it yesterday by simply updating iTunes to the most recent version, after which I could get rid of the register screen. The only other thing I needed to do to add my custom playlists was select "Manually manage music" on the screen for my iPod, since it had been in an automatic synching mode since the problem occurred.

P L E A S E H E L P. . .

Hi guys,
I keep getting "waiting for activation" on my iMessage. I can only send/receive iMessage from my email address, NOT my phone number.
I have done all kind of fixing suggestions that I can find online, but nothing works so far.
- Date & time set as automatic (I don't know why this matter, but mine was already set as automatic from the begining)
- Reset network setting
- Changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8.
- Restore to factory setting (from back up & as new iPhone)
- Turning on/off iMessage & facetime
- Sign out/in of apple ID
- Change location from apple ID
- Hard reset/reboot
And many others.
...me too. I'm in Portugal having the same issue!! Hopefuly Apple will give us a solution, shortly...

Do you need to be constantly connected to wifi or 3G to receive texts from another apple user using iMessage?

Do you need to be constantly connected to wifi or 3G to receive texts from another apple phone user who is using iMessage?

No.
Much as a missed call while not connected goes to voicemail, a missed text or iMessage while not connected will wait until you are connected, then be delivered.
There is one exception, however. Many cellular carriers do not support iMessage. So if you are connected by cellular signal and not WiFi, you will receive the message as an SMS text message using your cellular carrier.

After upgrading to iOS4 on your 3GS, are you having battery & signal issues

I was having big problems with my battery life (10% per hour at best) and also signal dropping issues from time to time.
Last night though I solved all these problems... HOW ??
Via iTunes, restore your iPhone and select the option "as new iPhone" NOT from a backup. This option totally resets your iPhone (no music, videos, data, applications or games saves) but my iPhone was fully charged at 7.30am and now 10 hours later I still have 60% battery.
This now means that my iPhone can last the whole working day before going DEAD !!
Don't get me wrong the RESTORE is a pain but in the long run it looks like the only thing that will sort out your battery problems.
Good luck ... it worked for me !!

The question I have is; "WHY does this work?"
How about it Apple "Gurus"
Well, it would seem that the issue here is that iOS4 is not properly reading the backup that was created before the update. Or the backup is not being created in a properly formatted manner. There are just too many cases of a post upgrade issue being solved by restoring as a new phone for it not to be bad data.
Pain in the hiney, I know. And this is nothing new. All the way back through the iPhone's iPod roots, there has alway been a point in the troubleshooting tree that comes down to "restore the iPod". Just a more awkward thing now that the iPod has evolved into a phone and is trying to keep any number of settings straight. Not to mention no one wants to take their phone down unless there is no other option.

Are you having trouble Saving a copy of a pdf document in Adobe X? Well here is the solution!!!!

Use another Web browser! There are confirmed problems with IE8 and Firefox. Opera works just fine, and I am assuming since Google is 'tea-bagging' just about everyone (or everyone is 'tea-bagging' Google, I'm not really sure) that it probably works in Chrome. There! Problem solved! Adobe sucks!

You can create a script that will lock the fields before signing. But when you edit the document after the student signs, the signature will no longer be valid and the document will show that it has been changed after signing. Adobe restricts the number of files you can collect information on with forms that can be saved and emailed. The restriction used to be 500 files unless you purchased the appropriate LiveCycle product to enable the pdf files for saving.
Why in the world are you requiring potential students to sign forms. Many students will not know how to sign pdf files. Just have a button that will submit the information to a website for you to extract or to send you the information in an FDF file and import the information form. You can have a button that will lock the fields they fill out. This will ensure you do not have to worry about the 500 file limit.

I was having trouble getting to ITunes. asked several people for a fix. well i found one, Try this it worked for me. Try this.

Try this, several people complained of the same problem, they reset winsock..Start --> Programs --> Accessories (Right Click on Command Prompt) --> Run as Administrator then type in: Netsh winsock reset
Hit enter, restart PC, open iTunes, go to Store

With option #1 -- I modified and rebuilt the 3rd-party JARs and referenced them in NetBeans. When I choose clean and build, the Ant processes results in an error: "jarsigner returns 1". So it doesn't seem to run at all.As long as you rebuilt the jars correctly without the original signature, I think it should work.
An example of unsigning a jar using ant is here:
http://frank.zinepal.com/unsign-a-jar-with-ant
Do you think the multiple-JNLP idea would work if NetBeans didn't apply "my" signature to the 3rd-party JARs? Aside from manually copying the original JARs into the \dist directory, is there a better way to tell NetBeans to leave the 3rd-party JAR alone (ie, don't sign it again)?I think it's supposed to work (it's the mixed code signing situation I referred to in my prior post).
For example, from your description it sounds like the default NetBeans build doesn't really support this style of deployment, so you would have to create a custom build which does what you need and is not triggered by NetBeans - which is doable, but annoying - it's sounds like you tried this, but were unable to get it to work as expected. For NetBeans specific help, you are better posting to a NetBeans forum (though you might be just the second person who has tried to do this with a JavaFX app).
Also need to check the end user experience is acceptable too, because I think the dialog and warning handling for the mixed code situation is different.
Look at the deployment guide section "Using <fx:resources> for Extension Descriptors" - I think it documents how to do what you want if you use a custom build file rather than letting NetBeans do the work:
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/deployment/javafx_ant_task_reference002.htm#CIABGCEE
Hmm, a lot of running around to deploy an app which can open a file . . .

HT4428 Are you having trouble downloading movies.?

I am having so much trouble downloading movies from apple tv anyone else help

I'm not sure how you can determine you have the same problem since the problem hasn't been described, however on the basis of what you are describing, you should try the following.
First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

Are you having iTunes video playback problems?

Do you have iTunes Store-bought videos whose playback is terrible, all choppy and full of freezes while playing back in iTunes?
Have you copied one of those iTunes videos to a thumb drive and had it play back perfectly?
This problem is not fixed by any of the Quicktime adjustments that Apple suggests on their "how to fix video playback issues" page, and, aside from this video playback issue, iTunes is working fine on my machine. As I said, the videos work fine, too, if played from a thumb drive instead of the hard drive.
This has been going on for weeks, and people have been posting about it here on the forum, but, to my knowledge, there's no fix. Just silence.
It might be useful if people who are seeing this problem post some information about their systems. For all I know, all of us who are seeing this problem have one particular vendor's computer.
The computer I am having this problem with is a new HP laptop that came with Vista. This one:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?docname=c00846935&cc=us&dlc=e n&lc=en&jumpid=regR1002USEN
1.6 GHz AMD Turion ™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-52
2 X 512KB L2 Cache
2048MB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 (UMA)
120GB 5400RPM (SATA)
I think the problem has to do with SATA, but I don't really know, except that my computer has it and I am able to play these videos perfectly from a thumb drive but not the SATA hard drive.
If you are having this problem, please consider posting your computer's info. Thanks.
HP Pavilion Entertainment PC Other OS Vista

OK, I figured it out... I too have a dv6000 with Vista and I have been trying to fix this terrible itunes video playback thing and this is what I found. For whatever reason the NVidia driver in the dv series doesn't play nice with Vista. They say that they are looking into it but have no response other than that. Somehow the data from the hard drive isn't fast enough. So, reading this I figured that if that REALLY is the problem that I could use a external drive and have the videos come from there, and Voila!! It works like a charm, no skipping, no stalling, no more blue screens. I hope this is helpful, I know what a pain this can be.
ALSO, apparently some think that you can't watch itunes video while using Vista's "ReadyBoost". I haven't had that issue personally, but I have seen a lot that have who disabled it and had it work fine.
Let me know if this works for everyone else.

Are you having problems with Windows XP Pro and Airport Utility Updates?

I was having problems with my wireless laptop setting up my Bonjour Printer. I checked to make sure I had downloaded the latest updates to Airport Utility and Bonjour. Check. After doing this I noticed I couldn't see my Airport Extreme through the Airport Utility. After much frustration and bringing my entire network crashing down around me, I got help from a knowledgeable guy from Cox Cable in San Diego. He helped me get my trusty iMac Power PC online. It saw my Airport Extreme but no answers were forthcoming in any forums about my XP issues. Here is what finally solved my problem. I uninstalled all Airport Utility and Bonjour Programs. I then went back to Airport Utility 5.3.1 for Windows. It installs Bonjour Printer services with this download. Everything is working perfectly again. I have my Canon Pixma MP500 connected to the USB port on my AEBS and Bonjour walked right through the setup process. I suggest that if this works for you, turn off all Airport Utility and AEBS firmware updates until you see that whatever issue Apple created with these updates gets fixed.

Well... it worked! :D
I'm pretty sure the extra 512 memory stick was the problem, that would explain why it was being inconsistent with its type of failures before. I'm going to reinstall it later and run memtest86 and try and see if i can get it to work at all somehow without causing problems, cuz 1.5 was already low enough...
DryHeat, yeah it was with SP2 but I got it installed now so no worries
Thanks a lot!

Are you having issues with Rezound synching to Google?

Is anyone else having trouble getting their Rezound to synch to Google? I have done numerous soft boots, been on the line with T1 & T2 without substantive help. In other words, I have done everything but a factory reset.

Have you gone to menu>settings>accounts & sync to make sure your background data is turned on? Sometimes, if the phone goes into power saver mode (due to low battery), it doesn't turn back on.
