Brand New 8700g initial load

Hi.  I have an 8700g that I rely on heavily.  I recently purchased 2 more new units for a terrific price.  My initial 8700g was under T-Mobile, which I subsequently unlocked and switched to AT&T.
The new 8700g has a blank screen when it's powered up - whether my SIM is installed or not.
I tried restoring my latest back to the new 8700g thinking that may load what is needed to do the initial load and make this a viable backup device.  After the restore, the screen is still a nice shade of blue without any data.
Is there something I can via internet download to make this device a workable unit, or do I need to take it to the AT&T store for the initial load?
Thank you, to all of you who can help me with this question.
Dave

I don't know what you mean by "initial load"?
New devices come loaded with the OS. You should only need to pop in (or out and in) the battery to boot up.
So is this a truly new device, purchased from a carrier? And you are certain that it boots up fully, but you get a totally blank blue screen... not black or white screen, with icon in the middle? Does the LED at the top right do anything?
I agree, the 8700 is a great device, true workhorse.

  • Brand new iPhone 4 loaded with information

    I've just set up my new iPhone 4 and noticed that it has come loaded with 107 contacts all from the US and Japan, and all with @apple.com email addresses. There is also 253 songs in the iPod section and lots of photos in the gallery - is this standard ? There was nothing loaded on my iPhone 3 when I got it. The phone is brand new, and was wrapped in the box when I opened it. It just seems really strange !

    Yes I thought that but it does look brand new and came with all the right packaging etc in shrink wrap packaging - if so they've done a good job !

  • Brand new 2012 fully loaded iMac is slower then my two year old iMac when using Final Cut.

    Just got a new 2012 iMac with 32GB RAM 3.4 Ghz and 3TB Fusion Drive and 2GB Graphics card.
    Now Final Cut runs even slower than it does on my old, lesser iMac. What gives?
    How Do I optimize the speed in which the video files are played?
    I'm using Final Cut 7.
    Files are all 1080 Pro Res.
    All files are running off of my desktop (locally).
    I press play and it is delayed a second before playing on the timeline.
    I thought this fully loaded machine was to help me edit faster.
    Is the Fusion Drive doing something funny with the file access that causes a delay in playback?
    The problem is, the same issue happened when I put the files on an external FW800 G-Drive.
    Any advice would be awesome.
    Thanks Community!

    are you sure all your files...render files...scratch disk, etc were all pointed to the FW800 drive?
    are you trying to play the exact same files in the same manner and see the new imac slower or does it just "seem" slower. You could, for instance, be attempting to play a more compressed file on the new iMac or a higher resolutidon compressed file....we don't know any of that. Apple to Apples, as it were, the new machine will obviously outperform the other one and there are too many variables you haven't covered to be able to draw any real conclusions....tell us more about the specific kinds of files, timeline resolution, video res on both machines and in what way the new one is slower....

    Test it on another network--like at McDonals. If it works there, you got an issue on your home network--like a router setting.

  • Brand new E90 map loader error

    When running the map loader first time it doesn't recognize neither the E90 in transfer mode or the memory directly connected to a usb port on my laptop. and map loader close up right away.
    PC suite works fine and allows me to install any program in the phone memory or memory card.
    Card is a 2GB which has more than 1.5 GB free.Message Edited by robmir on 28-Aug-200710:52 PM

    Hi robmir
    Have you run Maps application at least once with your memory card in E90 as this defines the folder structure that Maploader looks for to write data?

  • My brand new iMac reboots itself without any reason

    Hi guys,
    My brand new iMac (fully loaded late 2012, 27", i7, 3TB fusion drive) reboots itself suddenly without any reason several times per day. After some testing I think I may have found what causes the rebooting. When I plug (and push in) some usb-devices like external drive or iPhone into a usb-slot (3rd. slot from the side) my iMac reboots. Also when a usb device is plugged in the same 3rd. usb-slot the computer reboots occasionally. My question is: does rebooting problem look to you like a hardware or software issue?

    Could be either. Regardless, take the computer back. If you are within 14 days from purchase date you can request a replacement, no questions asked.

  • Brand new Mac, had to erase drive through disk utility as time machine back up failed. Now disk utility only has the option to install Mountain Lion which my Mac won't allow. Anyone any ideas as my Mac won't load anything up but disc utility!

    Brand new Mac, had to erase drive through disk utility as time machine back up failed on initial setup, USB cable popped out Now can only access disk utility as won't load to log in screen. The only has the option in disc utility is to re-install Mountain Lion which my Mac won't allow or loading another time machine back up but after an hour of it processing, that didn't resolve the issue either! The time machine back up is the latest back up of my Mac Book Pro which was using OS X Maverix. I'm guessing I'm going to have to take my Mac to the store but that would be a hassle so does anyone have any ideas?

    Follow this guide using another Mac.
    Insert your newly created Mavericks USB into you Mac, press the power button and then hold down 'option,' until it gives you an option to boot from the USB. You will then be able to erase the internal disk with Disk Utility and reinstall Mavericks straight after.
    After that you should be able to use Migration Assistant to restore your applications and user data.

    p.s. I seatched the forums but nothing about adobe not even loading or splash screen not even showing.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

    Thanks for any help
    Lou

    I have a similar problem: I switched from mac mail to Outlook 2011 as the default client, and want to switch back. Mailto links (eg from browser etc) default to Mail.  However, when I try to email a Word document as an attachment, it continues to open Outlook.  Outlook has a button in its prefs for making it the default client, but I don't see a way to turn this pref off in either Outlook or in Word.

    I bought a brand new Mac 27" desktop that came loaded with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the hard drive, 1Tb, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new one as I had extended warranty with them. They recycled the drive immediately (like a fool I didn't ask for it back to get the data off it.) But luckily I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it worked great except I downloaded it to the desktop and not the original location so it got squirrely. I also have an external 1.5Tb drive that I wanted to make bootable so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3 . I then went ahead and installed it on the newly installed drive too.
    I think that because I have a new drive Adobe thinks I have a news computer. I bought the 27" Mac brand new from Ebay and it came loaded with software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6 but Adobe said it wasn't valid. (I have owned CS2, CS4 and now CS6 which came preloaded onto the Mac by the seller who told me that the software was registered to the Mac???
    I am going to re-download the backup but this time to the original location (I still don't think it will work with Adobe. What can I do about this?

  • For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago.

    # Question
    For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. Why is this happening? This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago. Do not know how the bookmarks even got in there. Some were ok, but no order and some that were never bookmarks. Looks like FF tried to import some BM's from the Virtual XP installed, but did not get it any where near right. I need to completely delete all of them and install from a saved .html file.

    Well, I did not see the exact problem that I was having listed in the articles, BUT the problem is solved for now.
    I opened FF and the Bookmarks to Organize again. I deleted all of the folders and entries, ONE AT A TIME, AND IT WORKED. Evidently, for what ever reason, FF did not like "Batch" deletes of ANY amount greater than 1 and the HANG UP would occur.
    Deleting one at a time then importing the good .html from a good file, loaded the wanted Bookmarks. Yea

    A reboot should be enough to make it work.
    Just restart your computer.
    Otherwise, make sure you're an administrator - as if you're not, it could be that the administrator put a restiction.

  • If I purchase a brand new I-mac today do I have to run OS Lion or can I load Snow leopard?

    If I purchase a brand new I-mac today do I have to run OS Lion or can I load Snow leopard?

    Just faced that question, and the answer should be that you can run SL on the latest iMac.
    (Our scenario:  Bought 3 iMacs in August.  Was surprised -- and relieved! -- to see that they arrived with SL installed on them, and grey system restore disks.  One of the machines was DOA.  Futzed around with it for 6 weeks trying to get it to work, decided it was dead, drove it 4 hours to the nearest Apple Store.  They gave us a new iMac, which when we got it back, turned out to have Lion on it.  Popped in one of the three grey restore disks that had come in August, installed SL, it works without any problems.)

  • After starting up a brand new 10.8.2 iMac it linked to an older iMac, 15 hrs later I have a duplicate screen of 10.6.8; how to get rid of all that down load and free up the new iMac?

    After starting up a brand new imac it down loaded off an older 10.6.8 running imac for 15 hiurs, now I have a duplicate of the older; how to dump all the older stuff and get my new imac?

    OK. Log into your migrated account. Open Users & Groups preferences, click on the lock icon and authenticate.
    Click on the Add [-] button and create a new account. Make it an Administrative account and name it whatever you want (but not the same as your current account) and set it up to login automatically. Log out of your current account and log into the new account. Now, select your migrated account and click on the Delete [-] button to remove it. Select the bottom option to delete immediately. DO NOT select the option to erase securely.
    Now, you can choose to migrate again from your old account but be more selective of what you migrate or you can simply copy over the data you want.

  • Just updated my mac from Tiger to Mountain Lion. Loaded Photoshop elements 11 (brand new in the box) and when I try to start it - it comes up saying - Licensing for the product has stopped working contact for help.

    I just updated my mac from Tiger to Mountain Lion.  wiped the computer clean and started fresh Loaded Photoshop elements 11 (brand new in the box) and when I try to start it - it comes up saying - Licensing for the product has stopped working contact for help. in Looking for help I was directed here. what do I do?

    I don't know enough to not follow directions. I bought the software brand new in a sealed from factory box. Had it sitting around until - last week when I deleted flash on my computer and had to upgrade to the new OSX. Mountain Lion doesn't use iPhoto - so I had to go with something else. Since I already had this new - unopened package  I opened it up. Shut down all running programs - inserted the disk and followed all the directions for installation.  Still it didn't work.
    I have now uninstalled it (the proper way) and am going to try again.
    I appreciate your responses.
    Thank you!
    If this doesn't work - I am going to just buy Lightroom.
