Buying phone through Apple vs. through AT&T
I love my first gen iPhone and am excited about the 3G-S. I was able to buy the 32GB phone for $299 through Apple online...kind of a late night spur of the moment purchase. Anyway - come to find out that if I were to buy through AT&T I would've had to buy for $499 since I have 7 months left on my 2Year contract. This new 3GS is coming in the mail...anyone have any ideas on the trouble I may have upgrading to this phone through AT&T? BTW - I called AT&T and told them I purchased it through Apple and they just said , "Just call us and we'll switch it over". (But I didn't tell them I bought it for $299)
ATTGuy,
I have a similar issue. I currently have a family plan with one 8GB 3G iphone and three "free" ($200 retail) phones. None of them are eligible for upgrade yet (but I am eligible for a $499 early upgrade to a 32GB 3GS). I want to get rid of one of the other phones, buy a 32GB 3GS, and give my 3G to my daughter. Any idea if I should just pay the $499 and add the $30 data plan to my daughters phone, or if I should pay a termination fee on one of the other phones and swap the numbers around?

Broadcast a live musical performance through Apple TV through my home theatre system
I have small concerts in my living room regularly involving a piano, voice and wind instruments. I'd like to use Apple TV to pipe this live music to other rooms in my house. Is there a way to broadcast a microphobe wirelessly to my Mac and then through to my home entertainment system?
Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil app maybe?
If your Mac is Airplay Mirroring capable you might be able to send audio via that.
Is it a MAcBook Pro or Mac Pro (desktop)? -
I have insurance through apple for my iPhone 4. Last night my phone was stolen. Am I covered under insurance to get a new phone? And how much will it cost? Second- what should I do about it? I don't know if I should shut down the phone or what in case my iPhone is able to be located or what not?

No, you simply do not. Apple does not sell insurance.
Apple offers an Extended Warranty called AppleCare.
Warranties doe not cover lost or stolen devices. Buy a new one. -

I have a cracked iPhone 6 screen. I just bought the phone, but not AppleCare. If I get my iphone screen replaced through apple how much do I pay and would it void my one year warranty with Apple?
To replace your phone's screen costs $109US and I don't see why having Apple replace the screen would void your warranty.

Why do I have to pay extra for something that I already bought? Shouldn't I be able to have access to my music even if its not through apple? This is ridiculous when I go to the store and buy a CD I'm not relegated to only playing it on one CD player
iTunes Plus is the name for the option in iTunes that allows customers to buy music at the iTunes Store that is free from digital rights management, or DRM.
Digital Rights Management, or DRM, is designed to prevent unauthorized sharing of files. This especially became a big concern for the music industry after the rise of Napster, Limewire, and Kazaa.
DRM, even the DRM used by Apple on iTunes Store content, prevented that. Apple's DRM allowed users to share files on only up to 5 computers.
According to TUAW, the new iTunes Plus songs have information embedded in them that identifies the user who bought and shared them by name.
This means that if you share your music and record companies want to track you down and sue for you copyright infringement, it's going to be easy.
This may help you understand why you would need iTunes Plus - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1711.
It may be that Android required that type of file to be able to let it sync. See here - http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html. -
why can't i connect to my iphone after updating to 7.1.1? i don't even get the screen that lets me login into my apple account??? plz help my phone was stolen and through help of the police i recovered it and now i can't access my phone
You must have had find my iPhone on, or it was locked by your phone carrier.
Call your our cell carrier first.
then log on to a computer to iCloud to erase your iPhone.
NOW... You will be able to setup with a backup. -
I just bought new iphone from apple store from few weeks only but now i cant even make a phoen call and everytime i try to open "phone" function, it just error and stop on that page without any response.
So i tried to close that app and re open it but it doesnot woek i couldnt do anything means i have phone but cant use it as phone.
And i couldnt even contact apple staff through internet and phone call.
I need to talk with apple as i didnt bought it from dealer in Thailand so i cant take it to dealer service center, apple, please support me in this case urgently.
Thank you.Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, and finally restore as New. I suggest you try ALL of these steps if your phone continues to have problems.
If after ALL 4 steps your phone still doesn't work, you've no choice but to have your phone serviced by Apple. As you've found out, the iPhone warranty is NOT and has NEVER been international. You'll have to send your phone to someone in the country of purchase to bring your phone into Apple--and then to have that person send the phone back to you. -

HT4623 Changed apple ID through computer. But unable to change in my i phone
I have changed my apple ID through computer. But unable to change my apple ID in my i phone. How to do that?
Depends on what you want to change the ID for. To change the ID...
To change the ID:
For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
For Purchasing, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Stores.
For iCloud, you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them. To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. -
Lock button not working. Do I go through apple or Verizon for a new phone?
I got the phone through Verizon back in October, so it should still be under warranty right? The lock button just started to not work, I have to press it again and again, even then sometimes it won't lock. I also don't live in an area where there's an apple store anywhere near me. Just wondering how I would be able to get a new phone or what they would do.
If a hardware defect is found, Apple will replace your phone free of charge. You can bring your phone to Apple, or arrange to have your phone sent in using the support link on Apple's website. Verizon does NOT handle warranty exchanges or repairs on the iPhone.

More Apple Gobbledegook.
Cannot update my phone as message comes through "updating to iOS 7.0.4 requires at least 610 MB of free space on your iPhone. Please change your media sync options to make more storage available"
What media sync options? Where are they ? How do I change them?Afraid, this doesnt help. I've already unselected about 100 iTunes, resynced, and I still get the same message about 610 MB needing to be deleted.
What is so magic about 610 MB as a number?
Is this anything to do with iCloud? I was on the free 20 MB offeruntil last month and then got downgraded to 5 because I could n't see the need for paying for extra Cloud space. Is this the reason why? -
