Bought Iphone! But don't want to use it for calling! How to activate it ???

Hi,
just bought an Iphone but don't want use it for calling is there a way to activate it without having a contract with at&t or so! I mean I am not sure if there is a way to do this if anybody knows if it's possible and knows how to do it, I would be very THANKFULLLLLLLL!!!! I need help prettty fast thanks so much!

Why start a new thread on the same topic as before the answers will all be the same you have to activate the iPhone through iTunes and sign a contract with AT&T to activate the iPhone otherwise you wont be able to take pictures or listen to music or use other features, didn't you do any research on the iPhone before purchasing it??? Sounds like you need to return your iPhone where you bought it and just pay the restocking fee and call it good.

I want to import my twitter contacts into my iPhone but DON'T want to import their twitter profile pics as many of them are jokes or inaccurate.

I want to import my twitter contacts into my iPhone but DON'T want to import their twitter profile pics as many of them are jokes or inaccurate. Is there a way to do this?
I don't want to use the import contacts button as it seems like it will automatically all of my carefully curated contacts photos.
The facebook equivalent lets you choose if you want the photos or not. Why doesn't this?

After adding song to library delete the originals. Then your folder is empty again waiting for more songs to add to library.
Do this only if iTunes is set to copy songs to iTunes folder when adding.

I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys. Don't want to use audio text. How can I get this back?

Hey there tjbliven,
It sounds like you are not able to use the dictation feature of iOS 8, becuase the microphone icon is missing. It seems to me like Siri may be turned off, which would cause the icon to not be there:
Siri settings - iPhone
To set options for Siri, go to Settings > General > Siri. Options include:
Turning Siri on or off
That should get the dictation feature back for you.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

We want to purchase a new iPhone but don't want to lose the text messages on that phone. Can they be uploaded and then restored onto the new phone

we plan on buying an iphone 5 but don't want to lose the text messges we have on our iPhone 4s. is there a way to upload the texts and then download them onto the new phone

Text messages are included in your iPhone backup. Before switching over to the new phone, back up the old one, then restore this backup to your new phone. That will transfer text messages, along with other data and settings, as well as your apps and other purchased media. More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.

I don't want to use Yahoo for searching, but Firefox makes me

For some reason, whenever I use the search bar, Yahoo operates as the search engine. I don't want to use Yahoo. How to I get it to go away so Firefox uses Google instead?

The Firefox "address bar" is known as the "Location bar". The article that describes your issue is [[Location bar search]] - it explains how to change the Internet Keyword search service in the [[Location bar search#w_internet-keyword-search|Internet Keyword search]] section, under
[[Location bar search#w_changing-the-keyword-service|Changing the keyword service]]
To change it to Google (the default service), enter '''about:config''' in the Location bar (address bar), find the preference <nowiki>keyword.URL</nowiki> and then right-click on it and select "Reset", as explained in the article.
P.S. I'm wondering how it got switched to Yahoo in the first place .... maybe a Yahoo toolbar or other add-on you installed?

HT2371 I started to set up new ipad, I accidentally selected portuguese although I want the ticked default english that showed on first screen. Localisation screen came up (in portuguese) but don't want to continue in portuguese. How to start over? Helpes

Started set up on ipad. When I went to second screen, showing list of more language preferences I accidentally touched portuguese and this must have replaced the default, ticked, English option. Next screen, localisation, came up (in Portuguese) but I don't want to proceed in this language. how can I start over again. The ipad therefore is not set up with normal screen of apps etc. therefore I cannot change language back using this screen.
I also tried to Restore my Ipad to factory settings via itunes. You must update to latest version of Ipad software as part of this. The download is about 1 GB and takes 3 hours. Unfortunately when I try this on my PC it installs half the download then drops it - I have tried 3 times and it drops it after an hour and a half each time. I am hoping therefore there might be some simple way of setting up ipad that does not involve 'Restore and Update'. Very frustrated. Please help. Stuck.

If you press the home button it should come up with some options. One of them will be start over. Those options will be in the different language but you can try each one and via process of elimination eventually will get back tot the default screen.

Are all 'maintenance programs' compatible with Firefox? I'd like to install one, but don't want to use one that will change my Firefox settings.

I want to install a 'computer maintenance program' but want to make sure that the one I use won't have a problem with or change my Firefox settings. Do you have any suggestions as to which program to use?

Thanks a lot Cor-el,
I actually want to use a different user interface language. I was able to install the spell-checkers and dictionaries previously, but I didn't know what to do with the UI language. I checked the links you kindly provided but apparently, the downloadable language packs are not compatible with Firefox 31, which they set up in my office. Is there any way to force the install?
I also checked out the locale switcher but since the language pack extension is not compatible with firefox 31... If you have time to spare, I would be very interested in finding out more about your desktop shortcut solution.
I use a mac at home, and language-wise it's so much better. My own profile is completely in English whereas my wife is in French, which simplifies things (I just made sure to tell her to use safari if she wants to browse in French!)
One solution I used in the past was to reinstall firefox in English, but I have to do that every time the IT guys update FF, and then, you don't want to stand out if you want to remain in their good graces.
Thank you very much for your help anyway,
Remy

Hi, I turning standby My computer at work. With one opened firefox browser and few opened pages. Turning on at home to continue my work with firefox. But firefox do nothing. It is like no internet connection. Explorer works but don't want to use.....

Cheers for every Idea!

Hi!
I'm not 100% sure what are you trying to achieve or what's the issue, but I will try.
It seems that you want to work with Firefox at your home computer while your work computer is on. I'm not sure if you want to use the information from your work computer or not. If so, you should look at Firefox Sync: [[What is Firefox Sync?]]
If the only thing you want is to open and use Firefox but not use the information that your work computer has, your issue is about the connection. I will invite you to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox (www.mozilla.org/firefox) and try [[Safe Mode]] if that helps.

Downloaded ios 6 to iphone but don't want to install. How do i remove download from phone. Takes up too much room.

The ios 6 download takes up too much room. I don't want to install it, but I don't know how to get rid of the download. Any way to get rid if it?

There is no way to get rid of it now that it is earmarked for the phone. I can respect your choice to hold to Maps, but you will need to install eventually. While this may not matter to you, the Maps app has worked fine for me, however I live in the US and that could make a difference.

HT2589 If already with an Apple ID but don't want to use Credit Card & use Coupon Gift card instead – How...?

If already having an Apple ID and a previous Credit Card Account / Billing – but now inactive – account references, how does one use a an APPLE iTunes store GIFT card or a purchased iTunes Purchase Card...?

You redeem it, and it goes into your store credit. What's the prob?

I was sharing apple id with husband on our iPhones but now we want to each have our own, how can i do this without having all his info on his phone be lost?

When husband and i got our iPhones we shared the same Apple ID but not that we have added an iPad and Mac he wants his own apple ID how can I change the apple id/icloud to his own without deleting all his phone and resetting?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You both need your own iCloud accounts. I would set up the second iCloud account and get all the data showing in both accounts, before trying to delete anything. You will need to delete the unwonted contacts and appointments etc manually.

HT1420 I need to deauthorise certain devises off my Mac but don't want to deauthorise my Mac. How do I do it?

I have a few devices authorised on my Mac - 2 iPads, 2 iPhones and 2 iPods. However, I cannot download more Apps as my Mac keeps stating that I need to deauthorise some of the devices before I can authorise my Mac. When I try and authorise my Mac, the message that comes back is that the machine is already authorised. How do I deauthorise some of the other devices (especially the one iPad and iPhone) without deauthorising my Mac?

The page that you posted from only applies to computers - iPads, iPhones and iPods aren't authorised, and don't count towards the 5 computer limit.
If you are getting a message about having reached the 5 computer limit then have you had other computers in the past and/or updated or reinstalled the OS on those that you have now without first deauthorising them ? You can safely log into your account and 'deauthorise all' as described on the page that you posted from, that doesn't remove any content from any of the computers, it just means that you need to reauthorise them before you can use of your iTunes downloads on them (you can reauthorise them immediately).
If you are getting a message about the number of associated devices devices then you can manage them individually : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

I have an iMac and play games on facebook. When I need to request parts from "my neighbors" the list does not appear in the box. When I use my daughters pc it works fine. Recently I had a pop up for an upgrade but don't remember what it was for. How can I

I have an iMAC and when I am on Facebook my list of friends does not show up in the box for me to request gifts. I know this is a problem with my Mac because my daughter's PC shows it. I recently did the automatic upgrade thing but didn't pay attention what it was. When I did that it changed my desktop picture back to factory. Could this have something to do with it and more importantly what do I do about it?

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.
*Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

I use I cloud for my contacts, etc. but want to use computer for music.

I use the I cloud for my contacts etc., but don't want to use it for music and movies. But when I manually try to sink the iphone, it says it will erase the content and replace it with the new content on my work computer. Will this destroy all info or just the music?

For me all of my data and backups are done through iCloud, but it still lets me sync to iTunes no prob. I would turn off Music and anything else you want on the iCloud menu on the iPhone, and then when you plug in to iTunes instead of saying iCloud backup say Computer backup.
