Can I swap out my sim from an activated 4GB phone to a new 8GB?

I recently bought a new 8GB iPhone (the 4GB just wasn't big enough!). I wanted to know if I could just swap in the old SIM chip and use the phone or if I had to go through the activation process again?

I think since the sim that you will be swapping into the 8gb iphone is already activated then itunes will recognize this and you won't have to go through the original activation process.
When my phone was replaced the guy at the apple store just swapped the sims and quickly did something on the computer. I just had to put in my voice mail pin and that was it.

HT1688 I have a damaged I-Phone and I need the contents of my calendar off of it. I did not have Mobile me at the time. Can I swap out the sim card from the broken phone to a new phone and recover this calendar?

I have an older I-Phone (3G) that for some reason the body of the phone has split in two. This phone was a business phone and it had a lot of important information on it. I have a second phone that is also a 3G. On the broken phone there is a lot of important information that I need in my calendar. Im not worried about anything else but the calendar. I didn't have the Mobile Me account at that time or I would be having this problem. Does anybody know if I can ust switch out the sim cards. I just need to recover the old calendar, so im hoping that the calendar will transfer when I switch the sim card into the good 3G. If that doesn't work does anybody know of anyway that I can retrieve this information off of this phone?

Nothing is stored on the sim card on an iPhone. If you backed up to your computer the backup will contain your calendar events. Otherwise, if your phone isn't functioning there is no way to back up or extract your calendar at this point.

Can you swap out the logicboard of an older model mac for a newer one?

So i just bought a mac on ebay, its in good working condition, however i was wondering if i was able to swap out an older model logicboard for a new one. The mac i currently have is a unibody mac, MB466LL/A, and the logic board i was looking to possible switch it out with would be the (Logic Board 661-6158 820-2936-B.) Let me know if this is possible.

Yes, its possible.
Step one: Buy a second, fully working MacBook of the model you want.
Step two: Sell the first MacBook you bought.

Under the circumstances this will probably considered a dumb question.

Can I swap out my mechanical HDD for a Solid State?

Can I swap out my mechanical HDD (7200 RPM, 320Gb) for a solid state drive? If so, am I able to purchase such a drive, like the ones that come standard in Macbook Pros on the Apple site? Can I purchase an item like this from Apple?
If not, could someone point me in the right direction?
Also, on the same note, is it possible purchase replacement Mechanical HDD (like the one I already have) from Apple; if so, a link please?
Cheers!

You'll find everything you need here, swapping them is easy just get the right tools and take it slowly.

If I purchase an iPhone 4S in Indonesia can I unlock it for use in Canada and the US as well? Can I swap out sim cars in each country as well?

Shipping the phone back to Indonesia will be at your expense.
You can't ship back to Apple or any of the authorized carriers, as they do not accept international shipments for iPhone warranty or service work, you must physically bring the phone back.

How can I print out my contacts from my ipad

HHow can I print out my contacts from my iPad or iPhone?

Hi Ken, there is an app, Contact Sheet (http://itunes.com/apps/appiota/contactsheet) that will not only print your contacts, it can also print the pictures! This app can be used to back up, share, or extract information from your contacts. You can select which contacts to use by creating a group and you can choose which fields to include. So, for example, if you were creating a phone list to distribute to your bowling group, you could just include names and phone numbers and not include address or other information that people may not want shared. It can even be used to send group emails and group text messages. Please check it out!

Can't figure out which upgrade (from 7 Pro) is smartest: 9 Pro? or X Pro?

Can't figure out which upgrade (from 7 Pro) is smartest: 9 Pro? or X Pro?
Should I just ignore the nay-sayers and go ahead with X Pro?
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to bring me up to speed.

I've taken a break from book design, layout, and publishing since finishing 10 books 2 years ago (Kalavinkapress.org). But now I'm back into the thick of it with a another flock of long-doc books in my lap.
Result, I'm now faced with upgrading my IDCS3 & Acrobat 7 Pro. (I'm still OK with my P-shop & Illustrator versions), but am utterly clueless about the advisability of Acro X Pro over the still-available Acro 9 Pro. (I've seen some fairly loud squeaking about X Pro problems.)

It depends a bit on what you're going to use it for. I do mostly forms work and have both versions, but do most of my work with Acrobat 9, and even use Acrobat 7 for some things. There are some initial bugs with Acrobat 10 that need to be worked out, but I'd probably recommend it for most folks.

You should go onto the Tmobile web site and look around. Very soon a pop up window will ask you if you want to chat. You can try asking for someone who knows Spanish (if you prefer), they might have someone available who can chat with you in Spanish.
I give this suggestion because I remember on the Tmobile website, you can order on line, but they let you choose to pay only a little money up front, then pay off the rest over 24 months, or you can choose to pay for it in full. However, their ordering process does not say whether the paid for in full phone is going to be unlocked or not.
It may not be, You may have to make a request and say that since you have paid in full please unlock. I am not so sure that a paid for in full phone is automatically sold in unlocked state.
This is why I suggest you talk to Tmobile to get a definite answer.
Unless someone else on this forum knows for sure? Hope someone else jumps in to answer. But the best way is to ask for yourself directly from Tmobile.

HT201328 My iPhone is from Japan and I want to activate it here in the Philippines because I'm living here. I have lost the original SIM from Softbank and replaced it with a new SIM card from Globe. How can I use the SIM card from Globe?

My iPhone is from Japan and I want to activate it here in the Philippines because I'm living here. I have lost the original SIM from Softbank and replaced it with a new SIM card from Globe. How can I use the SIM card from Globe?

You cannot. The iPhone is locked to Softbank, and only they can unlock it. Problem is that Softbank will NOT unlock the phone, as they do not offer iPhone unlocking.
Buy an iPhone in the Phillipines.
PS Before you go on a rant at Apple, be aware that Apple does NOT unlock phones and they do not set unlocking policies. The carriers (Softbank in this case) set the unlocking policy.

I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business. I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time. How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business. I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time. How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

Syncing your phones to the same iCloud account won't cause them to both ring all the time, it only puts the same contacts, calendars, and other synced data on the phone. The phones will only ring with someone calls the number associated with the phone.
If you want to stop using iCloud on one or both of the phones, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then choose Keep On My iPhone when prompted. This will disconnect them from iCloud and keep a copy of the synced data on the phone.
