Can anyone help me with using an iPhone in Canada?
Hi
My son is in British Columbia, Canada playing hockey for several months. Specifically 5 hours North of Vancouver. Small town. (We are from the USA) Only wireless store there is Telus. He went in yesterday to buy an iphone...we've been round and round with Verizon and his bill is just outrageous.
I told him to just go in and get a "Canadian" iphone (if there is such a thing) sign up for the shortest period of time plan he can. Well, after everything was ready to go at the store, they all of a sudden said because he's 19 they had to do a credit check on him? For $200 no less, and that $200 was to be sent to the main Telus faciltiy in CASH!! What??
Part of the problem they say is it's because he has an American Visa card???
Wondered if I can order him an "unlocked" iphone 5 and send it to him and he can get a sim card there and pop it in??? I don't know?
Please if anyone can help, it would be really appreciated.
Thanks.
"they had to do a credit check on him? "
reasonable for anyone regardless of age.
" For $200 no less, and that $200 was to be sent to the main Telus faciltiy in CASH!! What??"
NO. For the montly bill for the term of the contract. This is normal for anyone and is not usnusual in any way. Verizon did a credit check on you when you signed up.
"Part of the problem they say is it's because he has an American Visa card???"
There is no problem. This is completely normal for anyone.
"Wondered if I can order him an "unlocked" iphone 5 and send it to him and he can get a sim card there and pop it in??? "
There are no unlocked iphone 5s sold in the U.S

Here's a nifty agorithm to fill an array of primes, using a forever loop with a labeled continue statement, from Horton's Beginining Java:public class MorePrimes
public static void main(String[] args)
long[] primes = new long[20]; // Array to store primes
primes[0] = 2; // Seed the first prime
primes[1] = 3; // and the second
int count = 2; // Count of primes found - up to now,
// which is also the array index
long number = 5; // Next integer to be tested
outer:
for( ; count < primes.length; number += 2)
// The maximum divisor we need to try is square root of number
long limit = (long)Math.ceil(Math.sqrt((double)number));
// Divide by all the primes we have up to limit
for(int i = 1; i < count && primes[i] <= limit; i++)
if(number%primes[i] == 0) // Is it an exact divisor?
continue outer; // yes, try the next number
primes[count++] = number; // We got one!
for(int i=0; i < primes.length; i++)
System.out.println(primes); // Output all the primes -

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem:
Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
Thanks for your helpTry assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

Hi, I'm using a white iPhone 4s with 16gb memory and having some problems. Whenever I use earphones the sound will be heated when the volume is at the highest if I turn it down any lower all I hear is static. Can anyone help me with this problem as I would appreciate it much.
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset. -

The shake operation is not working on my iPhone, can anyone help me with it plz
All depnds what your using it for.. If it's an app, may be a delay in the app doing an update to be compaitible with iOS 6. If its for an Apple app, then you need to check the settings for that specific app.

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on. -
i have an iphone 3gs and everytime i try to restore it on itunes it just keeps saying an unknown erroe has occured (29) can anyone help me with this??
Hello Laura,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I found an article that has information about Error 29:
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

i am using iphone 4s ios6.1.2 ...my iphone has become too slow once i have updated from ios 5.1.1..can anyone help me to make my iphone perform batter
Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue. -
can anyone help me with Magicjack? after I purchased US number I am unable to log in on my Iphone, I keep getting an error "YOUR DEVICE IS NOT ON THIS ACCOUNT" I contacted MJ support but they are very much useless and dont know how to fix it!
There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it. -

When my screen saver has been on a while, I have to use the cursor to "rub out" part of the screen saver to see my login section. Can anyone help me with this?
I don't have a solution for you, but just wanted to let you know I used to have the exact same problem. I resolved it (for the most part....about 90% of the time, anyway) by adjusting the screensaver and power settings to never let the computer go to sleep.
