Best Option Regarding Upgrade Eligibility

Okay..here is my situation.  Sorry if this was answered on another thread.   My wife and I have a family plan.  Her line is the primary line (the first listed on our account).  Both of us have upgrade eligibility on 2/13.  When I check eligibility on both Verizon and Apple, her number is eligible to purchase the 16gb phone at 199.  Mine, however is not.  She doesn't want the Iphone.  What is the best way for me to get the upgrade and pre-order on the 3rd.?  Should I do the "Buddy Swap" or should I order through her eligible upgrade and switch the number?  Regardless of which is the best, how do I do each?  Thanks in advance for anyone's help. 

instore would be the easiest way.
if you order online then this would work
1. order
2. activate on her line, it will add a data plan to her line
3. re-activate her old phone on her line via account manager, remove data plan if not needed
4. activate on your line, choose data plan
this is what been suggested in the past for other phones, and should work with the i-phone or any phone.
or when you recive it call customer service and have them do it

  • Best option for upgrading to CS 6

    Hello,
    I need some help. I currently have CS 5 and 5.5 installed across 7 PCs and 1 MAC within the marketing department in my company. What would be the best option for upgrading all of them to CS 6 Master Collection. (how many PCs can I use a license on? How many licenses would I have to purchase to install on all the machines?)
    Thanks.

    There is no ambiguity here: You buy 7+1 licenses. Though you have 2 activations per license, they are not meant to run your facility on the cheap. I suggest you read the EULA....

  • I am using an iMac7.1 with 1GB DDR2 SDRAM of speed 667 MHz on board memory. I would like to know what is my best option to upgrade to 4GB on board memory so that I can run Lion OS. Is there a speed limit of the DRAM I can use? Please recommend.

    You can install 2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMMs. The maximum amount of RAM is 6 GBs. Visit DataMem or OWC to get the proper RAM at reasonable prices.

  • Best option for upgrading from 3g to 4g.  Amazon yes or no?

    I currently have 2 smartphones on a 3g unlimited plan, a Samsung Fascinate and a Droid X.  I want to get a Galaxy S3 and Droid DNA to replace them.  I've seen both phones on Amazon for 30 and 50 bucks respectively when upgrading.
    What's my best option here?  I understand that you can grandfather a 3g unlimited to 4g unlimited but only if you buy the new phone for Full price from Verizon.  If I were to switch to a tiered plan, should I change the plan first, then buy the Amazon phones?  Or would that incur extra charges and more plan changes?  Any known caveats/problems for using Amazon to upgrade the phone?

    Yes, you CAN keep that unlimited data plan even if you move to 4G.
    Here's a good article to read:

    They advise you to do it in the store. Don't finalize anything until you are CERTAIN they've done it right and you still have your unlimited plan.

  • I currently have CS 5.5 Maser Suite Collection, I will be upgrading my computer from PC to Mac laptop and Mac desktop... What would be my best option regarding Creative Suite upgrading?

    Hi
    I currently run CS 5.5 Master Suite Collection.
    I plan to upgrade my computing platform from being a PC laptop, to a combination of a Mac laptop and a Mac desktop.
    Can you please advise on the best fit in terms of upgrade for my Adobe Suite? Do I need two purchases, one for laptop, one for desktop? Or will one purchase cover both?
    Can I be logged into both laptop and desktop att the same time? For example using one to work on Photoshop while the other renders video and animation in AfterEffects and Premiere?
    would I need to install each component on each platform, or can I have a common set up easily rolled out?
    Cheers

    Normally one purchase is good for two machines, but that is under the condition that only one machine is using the purchased software (the suite in this case) at any given time.  If you intend to be using the suite on two machines simultaneously then you will need two licenses (or subscriptions, depending how you upgrade).

  • What is the best option to upgrade oracle 9i to 10g with standby?

    I have a production DB with standby on 9.2.0.6. We plan to upgrade it to 10.2.0.4. The database is about 500GB. The network between primary and DR is limited at 10m bit/second. Primary is at Atlanta and DR is at Virginia.
    The choices are, I think, that I can do an upgrade at primary and send the db copy to DR to build the standby db (this may take a whole day at least). Or I can upgrade primary to 10g. At same time bring the standby to normal database to upgrade to 10g and then bring it back to DR mode (can I do this technically?).
    What is the best in term of minimum down time? Or do we have any other choices? Thanks.

    Hi
    Thanks a lot for prompt reply! My understanding is that you recommend option1:
    Option1 (in my understanding way):
    0. Stop both application and standby database
    1. upgrade primary to 10g
    2. Re-start application to point primary on 10g
    3. Take a backup (eiterh rman or manual hot) - this could take while 3-4 hours
    4. Send backup to standby site - this will be while 6-8 hours
    5. Create a standby control file from primary to send over to standby
    6. Create and start standby DB and let it apply all logs generated during the priod of step 2,3,4,5. (this could be while as the database is very active)
    I thought possible option2:
    Option2:
    0. Stop application, primary, and stadby databases.
    1. Upgrade primary to 10g. At same time, activate the standby to normal db and upgrade it to 10g. At end of the step, hopefull, both primary and standby is still in sync.
    2. Re-start the application to point primary on 10g
    2. Create a standby control file from primary to send over to standby
    3. Create and start stadnby DB and let it apply all logs generated during the period of step 2.
    It looks that option2 will be taking shorter time overall as no duplication needed. Would that be possible technically and practically?
    Thanks for any advice!

  • Looking to upgrade my OS from 10.5.8 to something newer, what would be the best option?

    I would like to upgrade my operating system, but not sure what would be the best option. I have had the computer for several years and haven't had a problem, I just think it's time to upgrade. Any suggestions?

    Which model iMac do you have?
    The best option would be the one (OS) that meets your needs of what you want to do AND if you meet ALL the OS system requirements.  Suggest that you read the system requirements of the OS you are interested in to make sure you meet all the requirements both hardware & software.

    Advance warning - Mail worked fine.
    I had fits with the last link I posted. At first it worked fine, then all of a sudden, it quit working. I now have iCloud - iCal syncing, but iCal is read only. Not a real big deal since you can log onto iCloud using Safari and post a new event.
    I finally gave up on Address Book because it kept creating multiple contacts, which if you tried to merge or delete the multiple contacts, the contacts were deleted. It also worked at first and then stopped working as it should.

  • I have Logic Pro 8.0.2 and would like to upgrade. I'm running OS Lion on a 2010 MacB Pro. What is the best option? Logic Pro 9 App or Logic Studio? Can't find upgrade price. Or should I just stay with Logic 8?

    I have Logic Pro 8.0.2 and would like to upgrade. I'm running OS Lion on a 2010 MacB Pro. What is the best option? Logic Pro 9 App or Logic Studio? Can't find upgrade price. Or should I just stay with Logic 8?

    Same here, I have Logic Studio 8 and wouldn't mind staying with that version, except that the installer won't run on my new Macbook Pro as PowerPC apps are no longer supported. That's the message I get in any case.
    I use to run Logic on a 2006 Macbook Pro.
    I guess that makes me a very unhappy Apple user! I've been using Logic from the Emagic days, bought every upgrade only to see Apple kill what used to be one of the best Pro Audio application. Imagine if they had done the same to Photoshop, there would be a lot of unhappy designers out there
    Paying the full price for years to slowly see your daily app go down in price & efficiency until it's given away at $199 for semi pro users. Well, at least ProTools is stil alive & kicking so I guess that's the way forward now.
    This is coming from someone that never ever used a Windows machine to make music! Life is good still!

    Depending on the year of the MBP, the hard drive may not be considered a user replaceable item...but you can check the available 1 TB drives at good sources such as OWC, http://www.macsales.com they are great to deal with and have on-line videos showing how to do most installation tasks.

  • Your does not appear to me the option of Upgrade existing installation

    Your does not appear to me the option of Upgrade existing installation to a clustered installation
    I am installing sap 4,7 ext: 110 in cluster formed with Windows 2003 enterprise and SQL enterprise 2000, the manual of sap says to me that it installs SQL of local way in the node a of cluster, later mind to install service pack 3 in the node a, later mind to install sap in the node a, after that requests to me that realise upgrade of SQL with the Upgrade option existing installation to a clustered installation but that option does not appear to me qualified

    Here is a short (not necessarily complete) list of Cluster Option Requirements
    - The SQL Server binaries are installed on a local non-
      shared drive (Only Node A).
    - The disc for the database files and the log file are
      belongs to the SQL Server Cluster Group (MSSQL).
    - On node B is no SQL Server with the same name (named
      instance name or default instance name ) installed.
      Check the registry on node B for the branches
      HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server
       and
      HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer
      Deinstall the SQL Server on node B, if it exists and
      delete the registry branches on node B, if they still
      exists.
    - The executing user for the setup has appropriate
      rights on both nodes
      (domain administrator).
    - The SQL Server database files (master, msdb, etc.) are
      on a shared disc.
    - Node B is available via private and/or public net.
    - The Cluster service is running on node A and on node B.
    - You are using the right CD (not mat.number 51011908)
      or have set the version by means of the .reg file
      sqlverfix.reg (see node 377430).
    - All needed discs (SQL DB, SQL Log, Quorum) are on
      node A.
    Please check all the requirements and run the cluster upgrade of SQL Server again.
    Best regards

  • Best approach to upgrade MaxDB AND move to new OS release

    What would be the best approach to upgrade Contentserver MaxDB 7.5 on W2K server (32-Bit) to MaxDB 7.7 on Windows 2008 Server x64 (R2?)?
    1.  a) Upgrade MaxDB on the existing installation
         b) Create a complete backup
         c) Install latest release on new machine
         b) recover with backup from existing installation on new machine
    2. a)  Create a complete backup from existing installation
        b) Install same release on new machine
        c) recover with backup from existing installation on new machine
        d) upgrade to latest release on new machine
    Both approaches share the problem that you have to run a OS/DB release constellation that is not released according to SAP PAM. The second approach has the advantage that the source system will not be touched and is still available in the original status if something fails. But the main issue is the compatibility question (7.5 not released for W2008, 7.7 not released for W2K)
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Matthias

    Natalia,
    thanks for your answer.
    > Do you have Content Server 6.40 ?
    yes.
    > the MAXDB version 7.5 is not released on W2008
    neither is 7.7 on W2K.
    > I recommend to go with 1 option.
    Which would be this one:
    >>1. a)Upgrade MaxDB on the existing installation
    So can I upgrade to 7.7 on W2K though it is not released for this combination?
    Best Regards,
    Matthias

  • Best way to upgrade the local repository from 11.7.3 to 12.2.3.3 DS 3

    Hi, we are going to upgrade our DI 11.7.3 to DS3 - 12.2.3.3 in Sep. I found out there are different ways to upgrade the local repository from the SAP doc and tech support. I try to find a best and safe way to do it. If anyone had experince and inputs on this. It would be great appreciated. It seems there are these options:
    we all agree that need to back up the repostiry db, and export the repository to atl file.
    Option 1:
    Upgrade the repository during the Data Services installation. But the tech support said there are times where this does not work as expected and Option 2 below needs to be implemented.
    Option 2:
    a) Export the local repository, via 11.7.3 Designer, to an ATL file.
    b) Uninstall 11.7.3.
    c) Create a new database in SQL Server to use with 12.2.3.3. (Optionally, use the existing 11.7.3 database. If you do, make a backup of it before making any changes).
    d) Install Data Services 12.2.3.3 and reference the database created in step "c" above during installation (select the Create option).
    e) Log in to the new local repo, via 12.2.3.3 Designer, and import the ATL that was exported in step "a" above.
    Option 3:
    a. Create a new database u2013 20 MB space
    b.Create a new repo in 11.7.3 point to ds_local via Repository Manager (click create)
    c.Log in 11.7 designer and Repository import from out.atl
    d.Install 12.2.3.3 without upgrde the repostory
    e.use epository manager in 12.2.3 to upgrade the new repository

    Hi.
    If you import the 11.7 atl into a 12.2 Designer you will face a warning message like this:
    "The version 11.7 of the ATL file <c:\export.atl> is lower than the repository version <12.2>.
    To update an ATL file, import it into a repository of the same version then ugrade that repository"
    So, the correct method to upgrade the Data Integrator 11.7 repository to Data Services 12.2.x is the following:
    - Export the complete Data Integrator 11.7 repository to ATL.
    - Create a NEW Data Integrator 11.7 Local Repository.
    - Import the ATL created in step 1 to the NEW Data Integrator 11.7 Repository. At this point you have two identical local repositories.
    - From the Data Services 12.2.x system, open Repository Manager.
    - Enter the Database connection information to the NEW repository created in step 2.
    - Select UPGRADE, to upgrade this repository to support Data Services 12.2.x.
    - Log into Data Services Designer to start using this Local Repository.
    Regards,
    Leo.

  • New AT&T Upgrade Eligibility Update (Apple Stores Not Aware???) *Important*

    This is the link to AT&T official update release:
    http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=1574
    I went to my local AT&T store and informed them about this, and the person that took care of me didn't know about it, she was like "No, you gotta wait till 7/13/09 (My case) so that you will be eligible to upgrade to the iPhone 3G S, or you can do the Early Upgrade which is $200 more for both models(16 and 32 GBs)", but than I said that AT&T release this to those that will be eligible in the next three upcoming months so they can pay $199 for 16GBs and $299 for 32GBs, the guy that was next to her that was there was the only one aware of this update, so I kind of understand why is it that Apple doesn't know anything about this (since I called 2 retail stores and they didn't know anything neither main Headquarters) but I would like for someone in Apple to take a look at this and see what's going on, because where I live iPhones 3G S are in back order in the AT&T stores and since I gotta upgrade, my best bet it's going to AT&T, but I could purchase it at the Apple store because they do have in stock here, but than I checked in Apple's website, whenever I'm going to buy it it says that I gotta pay $399 for the 16GBs because I'm not eligible till 7/13/09 and again Apple does NOT know anything about this Upgrade Eligibility Update so they will charge me more, at the end I'm gonna have to wait till AT&T gets some iPhones 3G S and buy it there, but what ****** me off is that they have it in the retail store here
    Please any info on this!!!

    Yes, and I said that I was eligible in 7/13/09 and yes I'm part of the family plan, I do spend more than $99 and I already went to the AT&T store and the lady that took care of me in AT&T didn't know this, just one guy in there that was an employee like her knew about it, so even AT&T employees do not know this(Must of them) now, in the AT&T stores near me the Phone 3G S is not available since they ran out, but the Apple stores near me they do have it so I checked with Apple and they do not know anything about this, even the main Headquarters, and when I go buy it they are going to charge me $399 for the 16GBs iPhone 3Gs so I guess I'm gonna have to wait for AT&T to have it in the store near me, which *****, because I'm gonna have to wait, when in the Apple store they have it.
