Can I port my number if switching from a post-paid to a pre-paid and back to a post-paid?

This is a little convoluted, so I'll use bullet points.
1) I am currently on a family plan that is paid for by my former employer. I need to leave that plan by the end of this month.
2) I would like to port the number from this plan to a pre-paid plan on Verizon for 2 months.
3) After 2 months, I would like to port the same number back to a post-paid plan.
Is this possible? I understand I'll have to downgrade to a 3G phone for that time.
The only reason I want to do it this way is I want the new iPhone in October and if I sign a 2-year contract tomorrow, I won't be able to buy a new phone, right?
Or is the new phone not tied to when you start your contract, but rather to the last time you purchased a new phone? If that's the case, can I port my number to a new contract, use my old phone and buy the new one in October at the subsidized rate?
Thanks very much in advance!

Well I think you can get the best answers if you walk into a VZW store. But to my knowledge, you will be able to convert your existing number and start a prepaid plan. Then once you have the prepaid plan, I believe it must be on the Prepaid account six months before you can convert it back to a contract account.
And as for the new phone, as long as you start your new contract with your existing phone, you should be able to get the new iPhone in october at the the discounted rate, the same rate you would get if starting a new contract.

Can I port a number that's out of contract to another phone?

Can I port the number from my iphone 5s when it's out of contract in a few weeks, and place it on a iphone 6 that's already bought on a new line and cancel the line?

Then why couldn't you wait the few weeks until your current account is eligible for the upgrade and not have this hassle? In it was announced yesterday if your contract ends before 2014/11/15, you could have upgraded early for the two year contract price.
Now you have to wait until your contract date and port the number you want to another carrier, start a plan there and turn around and cancel the other carrier plan by porting the preferred number on top of the temporary phone number you got when you purchased the iPhone 6. It is more hassle then it is worth. I should know as I have done something very similar three years ago.

HT2729 I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

you can do this by keeping the external hard drive connected and doing the following
-hold shift key down on computer while opening iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose a library
-select choose library, iTunes should bring up your explorer windows where you can search for the external HD
-after you find the external HD find the iTunes folder you just copied to it
-after opening the iTunes folder look for the file that says iTunes library.itl or if you can't see that extenstion just look for a document looking thing in the iTunes folder that shows up as a database file
-double click the database file and boom iTunes should load your library without having to copy it to the computer
PS: do make sure that if you are going to do it this way, make sure that the external HD is connected at all times, because if you don't then you will get exclamation marks next to your iTunes songs
double PS: if you are unsure how to find out if the iTunes library file is a database file just right click it and choose properties and under the type it should say database file
hope this helps:)

I was forced to switch from my original computer to a new one and majority of my iTunes were switched over but my audiobooks did not. Is there any way that I can retrieve them again?

I was forced to switch from my original computer to a new one and majority of my iTunes were switched over but my audiobooks did not. Is there any way that I can retrieve them again. If I go to attempt to rebuy it, then it says thhat I technically already bought it but it won't download.

Audiobooks are not available for redownloading, so you need to transfer them from your old computer, or get them from your backup. How did you copy your iTunes contact from your old computer to our new one?

How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

You don't. Mirroring is duplicating your ipad screen on another projector - so you can't have another app going on your iPad without it also showing up on the projected image. Some apps are designed so that you see a different image in the iPad than the mirrored out display, but even then you're within the app itself.

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?

Here's an easy way:
Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
That should do it.

Verizon Fios rep says that I can not port my number.

I had Verizon number for about 14 years and I recently moved to a new house and got Fios. When they signed up for Fios triple play on phone, the sales rep said that my number will be transferred to my new location. Meanwhile, I was given temporary number. Installation was done and I was told that the old number be active by 5pm that day. Did not happen. Called verizon back and they said it would take another 24 hrs. No success and I called back. Same response again and was told to wait 2 days now. Called again and finally spoke to someone who said that she will straighened everything out and will call in 48 hrs. Got no response on 3rd day so I called back. By now, I must've called about 4-5 times regarding this issue. Finally, they told me that after sending trouble ticket, back end department told them that the number can NOT be transferred. They said it is copper based line and can not be put on Fios network, which is digital network. I told her that Vonage said they can port it and she said they can NOT port it either, because it is a copper line number. I had spoken to Vonage before getting Fios and was told that they can port it without any problem. Just to confirm again, I called Vonage and I was told that the number is portable. I want that same number but Fios won't give it to me. Feels like they told me they could port number originally just to get my business. Did anyone else have same problem? Any way to resolve it?

Since we haven't heard back from you, it appears assistance is no longer required. If you need any future help with your Verizon service, please make a post here on the forums so we can assist.

Can't get router working after switching from DSL to Cable broadband???

I have a WRT54G v.5
I just switched from dsl service to cable broadband. I can't get my router to work. I hooked it back up just as the dsl modem used to be. there is an ethernet cable that goes from the cable modem to the router. then an eithernet cable that goes from the router to the computer. this does not work. If I just take the router out of the loop and run an eithernet cable straight from the cable modem to the computer it works fine. so the cable internet service is working fine up to the modem. The router is the problem. I have restarted both the computer and the router. so that rules that out. can you help me?

Open the setup page of the router by launching an Internet Explorer Browser and type the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as admin and click on ok.On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings button.Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".- Click on enable.Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router .... If getting Valid Ip .... try going online...If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then, try going online.

Can't access PIX 501 after switch from dsl to cable

Hi--
I have two small offices and recently switched from dsl to cable internet. the two pix501 f/w units worked fine on dsl, but for the life of me I cannot even access the units now from the inside as I was able to do before when on dsl signal. I know I need to change the configuration from PPPoe to DHCP, but I can't get access to do it.
Any suggestions?
I believe I have 6.2 software, but I'm not sure. The Inside address is 10.8.6.1 now.
thanks--jb

Jorge--
I did have the Pix connected to router, 192 168.1.1 for convenience, so I could still get internet wirelessly without having to do lots of wire unplugging and plugging.
I have since changed to topology of comcast modem connected directly to pix which in turn connects directly to laptop.
In this configuration, laptop pings 10.8.6.1 ok, but pix has no connectivity to comcast.
When laptop connected directly to comcast modem,(ie pix removed) the ipconfig /all from laptop reads the following from comcast:

How can I get a number of items from a group

I'm trying to load assets into a library. Most of the assets are groups. I'd like to label each asset with number of items from that specific group.
Here is my code:
var d=app.activeDocument;
//create empty library
var library = app.libraries.add(File('mylibrary.indl'));
for(myCounter = 0; myCounter < d.pages.length; myCounter ++){
    if(d.pages[myCounter].groups.length > 0){
         //how do I get number of items from a group?
         var item_count = ?????
    }else{
         var item_count = '1';
    library.store(d.pages[myCounter].allPageItems);
    library.assets[0].name=item_count;
Thanks for your help and Happy New Year!!!

I figured it out!!!
Here is the solve that worked for me:
var elems = d.pages[myCounter].groups[0].pageItems.everyItem().getElements();
var item_count = elems.length;

What are other ways i can locate my Serial number to my iphone? my iphone doesnt have it on the back and my iphone will not turn on

A few days ago my iphone stopped charging and now it wont turn on at all. Ive taken it into Verizon and they told me that the charging port is corroded. Ive looked at the back of my iphone and discovered my iphone serial number is not located on the back and i am unable to turn my iphone on. is there any other ways i can retrieve my serial number for my phone?

If you have access to your computer, but not your device
Open iTunes.
Open Preferences. (In Mac OS X, choose iTunes > Preferences. In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
Click the Devices tab.
Position the mouse over a backup to display the serial number of the backed-up device. iPhone and cellular iPad models also display the IMEI/MEID and Cellular Data Number:

How do i switch from one iphone to another without losing apps and contacts

I just switched from an Iphone 4 to an Iphone 5S and when my friends send me imessages they go to my old phone. how do i fix this

I really need to know how to diconect my old phone from my phone number that way my text messages get deliver to my new phone

Hey fa886!
You will need to adjust your iMessage settings in your new phone using the information in the following article:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5538
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
If your previous phone is not using a different number, then you will want to simply sign out of iMessage on it in order to stop receiving iMessages. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden
