  • HT4528 I have an iPhone 4S and currently my carrier is AT&T, but I'm switching to Verizon.  Do I have to buy a new iPhone?

    I have an iPhone 4S and currently my carrier is AT&T, but I'm switching to Verizon.  Do I have to buy a new iPhone?

    Verizon, like virtually all CDMA carriers will not activate a device on their network that was not sold for use on their network.
    To activate an iPhone on Verizon it must be purchased either directly from Verizon or from Apple (or an authorized reseller) for use on Verizons network.
    On AT&T and all other GSM carrier iPhones (including Unlocked iPhones) the CDMA antenna is disabled.

  • Will I have to buy a new macbook to get iCloud?

    I have the Intel Core Duo, not the Intel Core 2 Duo and therefore I can't upgrade to Lion and can't switch my mobileme to iCloud.  I am very frustrated as to how to do this.
    I don't have a PC and would like iCloud to use my existing email address and just not sure how to do this as every time I try and switch on one of my mobile devices iPad2 and iphone4S it tells me to switch using my mac or PC.... grrrr I can't switch from either because they don't have the OS to handle the switch or the hardware.
    Please can someone advise me what I should do... I don't have the money to buy a new macbook and there's nothing wrong with this one anyway so why should I have to buy a new one?
    Thanks in advance for tips, advice and help.

    If you do not migrate from MobileMe before the end of June your email address will cease to function.
    You can migrate using a Snow Leopard Mac (you don't say what system you are using - please always do) - go to http://me.com/move and when you are asked to confirm that your Mac has Lion, lie and say 'Yes'.
    However you need to be aware of the implications. This will be the situation on Snow Leopard if you migrate:
    Your email, calendars, and 'Find my iPhone' will be migrated to iCloud. Contacts and Bookmarks cannot be migrated from a Snow Leopard Mac.
    Your iDisk, together with website hosting and Gallery, will continue to work as before until next June.
    Syncing of Dashboard Widgets, Dock Items and Keychains between Macs, and Mail Accounts, Mail Rules, System Preferences, Signatures & Smart Mailboxes between Macs & iOS devices, will cease altogether.
    You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
    You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
    You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
    You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
    Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
    There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).
    Note that f you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it.
    You should be able to migrate using Leopard, with similar effects. You may not be able to do so on Tiger unless you use a browser other than Safari - I can't confirm this. You can set up the mail in Tiger - the method is different and is detailed here.

  • HT4623 Do I have to buy a new iTunes to get the

    on my Verizon replacement phone?
    I'm trying to download my pix off the phone (they sent the wrong one) on to my new one.
    My  itunes says I need a newer version on the phone. When I go to updates it only gives me the option to
    Purchase a new iTunes.

    Itunes is a free program always has been.
    Try to explain exactly is happeneing?
    What exactly does the error message say?
    Importing pics from iphone to computer has nothing to do with itunes at all.  Pics taken with iphone are imported as with any other digital carea.

    Hello, Ratheeshchalacka. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    If you are experiencing issues updating your iOS device wirelessly, I would recommend updating via iTunes on your computer.

    I bought my first  iMac 27" i5 in November 2011 last year.
    Do you think there would be a update that will Features a Retina Display, Siri etc ??
    So my iMac will be the same as the new one that will be released this year,
    Or will I have to buy a new iMac to get all these new updates ??
    It would be a shame if I did because my iMac is only 6months old if that ..
    Kind regards Simon Trott Apple user and proud of it

    We're not allowed to speculate on future or rumoured Apple products, but we all know there'll always be newer tech coming along.
    The iMac you have is an excellent machine, be happy with it and get a good few years use out of it. By the time your machine is slowing down, whatever comes next will have been updated numerous times.
    I had the 2011 i5 27" delivered about 3 weeks ago. It's a cracking machine

  • I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?

    I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?

    If officially unlocked, you can purchase a sim from one of the two nationwide GSM carriers, AT&T or T-Mobile. However, AFAIK, none of the carriers in India offer unlocking for the iPhone. Thus, if your phone is carrier locked, the only way it will work in the US is roaming...that would cost a fortune.
    So, if you have a carrier locked iPhone, leave it home or sell it before you come to the US, then purchase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, when you get to the US. You'll be able to use that phone in India when you go back.

  • Can I use the same plan that I have for my iphone 4s with my new ipad? or do I have to buy a new data plan for my new ipad?  I would love to use my new ipad away from home but not sure how to use it?

    See the answer on the same question you asked a few minutes ago.

  • I lost my iphone in the dominican republic but I am technically still covered in the 90 day warranty can I have it replaced or will I have to buy a new one?

    I take my sim out of my phone so that I won't be tempted to make phone calls while abroad. I now have the issue of having lost my phone and not being able to find it with the "Find My Iphone". I am still technically under a 90 day warranty but can my phone be replaced or do I have to buy a new one?

    The warranty covers defects in manufacturing and workmanship. If your phone is not operating properly and has not been physically damaged, it will be replaced under warranty.
    The warranty is NOT insurance against theft or loss.
    You will have to purchase a new phone.

  • My iMac is an early 2006 running Snow Leopard and cannot be upgraded to Lion or Mt Lion. Do I have to buy a new computer in order to use the iphone 5 which I have ordered ?? ?

      My iMac is an early 2006 model running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and cannot be up graded to Lion or Mountain Lion. I also am running iTunes 10.6.3 and cannot down load iTunes 7.

    It is running through a cable modem and Wi-Fi Extreme and is lightning fast.
    I cannot afford to buy nor do I need a faster and more powerful iMac. My G3 iPhone accidently went swimming the other day (and died) after I had already ordered a new iPhone 5 which hasn't arrived yet.
    My bottom line question is ; Do I have to buy a new iMac to be able to use my new iPhone 5.    Thanks, Ted

  • HT1212 I have shattered my iphone 4s screen and cannot backup all the data through itunes because it is asking me to unlock it. I do not wish to repair the screen as I'd rather buy a new iphone, but I need the photos and contacts. How do I perform a backu

    P.S.
    I feel as though I am forced into repairing the iphone before I can backup the information (photos, videos, contacts). If the apple ID on the device is the same as the one on my iMac I do not understand why I have to unlock the iphone by typing in the 4 digit passcode. This is a little ******** as having the screen break seems to be the usual prpblem with the iphone, I want to be able to backup my files when I feel the obvious need to do so (eg. when it breaks)! I also believe I shouldn't have to use other apps for backing it up (which I obviously have to pay for).. I am rather angry with this issue.

    Okay folkes, you were right and I was wrong.. I admit it. But I was pretty mad though when I tryed to backup the last few contacts I needed for work and couldn't do so. Worst things are when something gets broken (by me or whatever) when there is an emergency. I needed the contacts off of that phone real fast and couldn't do it, thats what got me real mad. And btw I am a Russian living in Moscow and instead of having an official Apple store we have shopes called ReStore who resell apple devices with ridiculous prices, same thing with the repairs. It is cheaper to sometimes buy a new iphone then repair an old one.. So there.. but I repaired it and now happy again with my apple device.. Also I know the itunes and icloud are free and I do back it up, this time however I couldn't use them and had to try the iphone extractor app, which is not free. There.. Thanks for the attention every1

  • HT6119 I buy a new iPhone s5   When I enter to iTunes Store   The iTunes Store won't connect.    I have a Apple ID     But.  I am from Algeria       Plz how can iTunes Store connect

    I buy a new iPhone s5   When I enter to iTunes Store   The iTunes Store won't connect.    I have a Apple ID     But.  I am from Algeria       Plz how can iTunes Store connect

    What have you tried to fix it ? If you haven't already done so then see if any of the following fix it :
    - log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in
    - close the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    - soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have an old Iphone 3g and want to buy a new iphone but am afraid I will lose my contacts list

    I want to buy a new Iphone.  I currently have an old 3g.  I want to be sure that I don't lose the contacts on my phone.  I have some numbers on there that are not on my contacts list that is on my ipad.  How do I do this?

    To sync contacts to your new iPhone you want to first
    1: Connect iPhone 3G to computer with the latest version of iTunes (11.0.4.)
    2: From there click under the device summary and look for your iPhone.
    3: You should be on a page that should say summary on the top part of your phone where it'll say "Summary, info, music, applications, etc.
    4: Click on Info and then you should see a box where you can put a check mark next to the words, "Sync Contacts."
    5: Sync your contacts
    Option 2:
    1: Go to the summary page as described above and make a backup of your iPhone 3g onto your iTunes
    2: connect your iPhone 5 and then open up the summary page
    3: ON the summary page you want to click on "Restore backup" and select the backup you JUST made today (check the time stamp)
    4: THis should put all your contacts, pictures, and settings from your old phone onto your new phone with no issues
    HOpe this helped

  • Have to be an authorized user to buy the new iPhone 3G?

    Hello, I'm going to buy the new iPhone 3G tomorrow. I was reading online the requirements and things you must have when you go into the Apple Retail Store to buy the phone. It said you must be the primary AT&T account user.
    Somebody else in my family is the owner, and I'm a user. I asked an Apple customer service person, and she said as long as I can be an "Authorized" user, that other family member will not have to be with me when I buy the new phone.
    How do I become an AT&T authorized user on my account?
    Thank you.

    Thank you so much. The customer service person gave me a number, but it didn't work. Should I just call a general AT&T Customer Service phone number?
    Thanks.

  • Why would I have to buy a new computer to sync my new iPhone 4?

    If I had a PC, I probably wouldn't have this problem. First of all, I have a Mac 466MHz PowerPC G4 that runs OS 10.4.11 (Tiger). It works just fine. I cannot upgrade to (Leopard), because my MHz is not over 600MHz or something. I cannot upgrade to (Snow Leopard) because my computer does not have an Intel processor in my computer. I bought a "PHONE", just a phone. No other phone would be giving me this problem. I shouldn't have to buy a new computer just to sync my phone to the computer to get all my music. I am probably going to a have to return my phone, because what's the point? I don't have another computer to export my iTunes library to. Does anyone else have this problem? HELP!

    The PowerPC 466MHz G4 was discontinued on the 18th July 2001, according to some light research on the inter web, that's over 9 years ago, while I understand your frustration, you must have come up against some other issues with new technology not being compatible or useable with your current system, USB 2.0, PCIe, DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 RAM, SATA hard drives to name but a few.
    I'm not having a dig here, but as others have said, the requirements for using the iPhone have been readily available for each release of the iPhone. If you chose not to check those prior to purchasing the iPhone, that is your responsibility, not Apple's.
    Personally, I would be writing a thread praising Apple for making a machine over 9 years ago which is still running well for you today, instead of having a go about current technology not being compatible with what can only be described, from a technological standpoint, as a fossil.
    If you had a PC, especially of the same age, it would probably sitting there not working at all. Hardware in PCs is generally outdated faster than on Macs.
    As for "if you bought a phone, just a phone" you wouldn't be able to sync that to any device. Just a phone plugs into a wall mounted telephone socket. As for syncing non Apple Mobile phones with Mac OS X, the reason I bought the original iPhone and every iPhone upgrade since, is because it was the first mobile phone that could sync to a Mac efficiently and accurately.
    If you think you'll be better off with a PC and just a phone, enjoy your shopping experience, oh and remember to pick up some Anti-virus software while you're there, you'll definitely need it. (You'll need iLife replacement programs too while you're at it. Oh yeah and PC variants of any third party software you currently use on your Mac).
