From individual to family plan (one phone from Amazon wireless, the other an Iphone)
Alright, stay with me here.
My fiance and I are currently on separate family plans with our respective parents. We are about to start our own plan together, but her family's contract ends a few months after mine.
I want to get the HTC incredible 2 from Amazon wireless. I would have to start an individual plan because she's not ready to switch over.
She wants to get an Iphone, which you can't get through Amazon wireless. We'd have to go to Verizon, best buy, etc.
Can we easily go from having me on an individual plan to a family plan? And would she still get the rebate for the Iphone (making it only $200)?
Thank you.
Do you want to keep your current phone numbers? If so, you will need to do an Assumption of Liability for each line to transfer them from their current account into your name. It's a simple process, and free, you just call or visit a Verizon store with the current account owner and do the paperwork. Verizon will do a credit check, and you may have to pay a deposit.
If you do an AoL, your contract end date stays the same, and you keep your current number. You could do an AoL now, upgrade your phone when it is eligible, and then move your wife's phone over whenever you're ready (with another AoL). You don't have to wait for the contract to end. Doing an AoL and starting a Family Share plan with the transferred line is also easy, they can probably take care of it for you at the same time.
Each line on your plan will have its own contract, so if you want to upgrade at different times and/or at different places, you can do that.

I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop. One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700. How can I get these off of my computer?
From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

HT1750 How do i stop downloads from one Admin account from going onto the other one?
So there are two admin accounts on my imac, and one day i logged into the other persons account, and all my downloads were showing up in their folder, how do i seperate the two, so that what i download on the mac from my account is only visible on my account?? If you have time to answer this, i would really appreciate it!! Thanks
...granted they were in the Mac HD folder,
You mean Macintosh HD, i.e., your boot directory? That is one of the place (actually a little deeper in there) that I was alluding to about a folder common to all accounts. But that is not the default and the only way that could happen is if you changed the default from ~/Downloads.
You never said what browser you are using. I'll assume it is Safari. Open Safari's preferences, general tab, and look at the "Safe download files to". Unless you have other reasons to place elsewhere set to Downloads in your home directory. Given what you are describing it must not be currently set there and you must have changed it sometime in the past (maybe accidentially).
If you are not using Safari every other browser has a similar preference (e.g.., FireFox preferences, general, save files to). -
Hi i insttalled the free trial 3O days MacScan on OsX10.5 is it normal that for full scaning it takes so long time more even than one day?! on the other hand this application hasn't any uninstaller on image disc ,so how can i uninstal it from my hard?Thanks
Get rid of the tracking cookies. They are used to profile and track your browsing history. While they are privacy invading, by calling them spyware, MacScan is being a little dramatic in trying to sell you its crap. And in the future, for whatever browser you use, don't allow third-party cookies.
To prevent tracking, get Ghostery. In addition to having Ghostery and forbidding third-party cookies, I clear out all cookies from one browsing session to another. If you always do that, you won't have any tracking cookies to worry about, so you won't need MacScan to find them for you. Btw, MacScan finds the tracking cookies in the first few minutes of scanning; if you want to use it for that, then that's all the time you need to run it for. But, as I said, you won't have any tracking cookies around if you just remove all cookies and don't allow third-party cookies. As soon as you visit a site that needs them, you'll just get new ones. No problem.

You know how you download apps, well let's say you have two devices and get an app on one and it goes to the other, how do you remove it from doing that?
Click here and use the instructions to turn off the automatic downloads.

when trying to download photos from my digital cameras I keep getting the message that pics can't be downloaded because of an "unrecognizable format". It shows that they are all jpeg files. One camera is a Canon, the other a Panasonic. I have had these cameras for a few years and have never had a problem downloading.
I am having the same problem which has happened very infrequently before. Generally it's one photo and happened when my battery died.
However today I tried to download six photos.
None would download including several others for a total of 21 that would not download.
Since I had just installed a new powered hub and added three new external 4T hard drives, I got concerned that it was the hub. Then got really worried that I'd have problems with the data I have been backing up.
However following this sequence of events, I've determined it's not the hub, but still don't know what is causing the problem.
(1) Put a fresh battery in the camera - same results
(1.5) Used a different port in the new hub - same results
(2) Put the card in the card slot in the back of my iMac - no problems except that one image I knew about last week. The six new images imported.
(3) Tried again using the cable - still same error
(4) Changed cables - my husband has the same camera - still same error
(4) Put the card in his camera with his cable - still same error
(5) Put the card in a card reader and used the same slot in the new hub - no problems - same one wouldn't import but message that there are no new photos to import.
(6) Moved the offending one image to the Trash while the card was in the card reader
(7) Put the card back into my camera and used my cable. iPhoto had no error and displayed the message there are no new photos.
Conclusion:
Not the camera
Not the cable
Not the hub
Must remove bad photo from the card
However, I have not had to do that before. I went through several imports on vacation when there was one bad image and just ignored it each time.
Any idea why this is happening now?
Thank you -
I want to set up "find my ipad" on my sister's ipad, so we can find each other's iPads. However, this seems to require differing individual cloud email addresses, so one ipad wouldn't recognise the other one. How do I get round this?
Many thanks for the quick response.
I'm fine with using the same ID for iCloud, so I'll give that a try.
You mention that a lost ipad can be found from any computer. As a relative computer novice, I didn't know this. How would I go about carrying out such a search?
I don't think I'd use the find friends app. My concern is to find a lost or stolen ipad.
Thanks -
Two PDF's - 1 created from Illustrator and the other Acrobat. Same colour is different in both. Why?
Two PDF's - 1 created from Illustrator and the other Acrobat. Same colour is presented differently in both pdf documents. Why?
Hi - sorry pressed send too quickly....
I have two PDF documents that show a sample business card in PDF.
One was apparently created through illustrator and is the focument for the printers ... it is this document that shows a completely different colour to the one that is in the other PDF that was apparently created in Acrobat. Though designers assure me that they are exactly the same patenone and that it's the software interpretting it.
What i dont understand is why the colours would look different using the software from the same company....and why designers would put up with this as a basic layman it just looks plain wrong to me. -

Try resetting the one dropping calls more often. Hold the on/off and home switches together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, consider restoring it using iTunes. -
Sometimes when I make a call the receiving party hears a ring but neither one of us can hear the other. Is this my phone or the network I am using?
It appears to be a bug with the iphone 4S.
Hopefully future updates will fix it.

I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?
You can uncheck multiple songs by selecting all the songs you want to uncheck, then right-click and choose "uncheck selection". Also, make sure that you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings or the sync process will ignore your selections.
You can remove all the photos from your camera roll using Preview on your Mac. Connect your phone to your Mac, open Preview, go to File>Import from iPhone. When your photos appear in Preview, select the photos you want to delete, then click on the icon at the bottom showing the red circle with the diagonal line through it (see image below), then click Delete.
To remove photos from the Photo Stream album on your phone you'll have to either reset Photo Stream (deleting all the photos from iCloud) or turn off Photo Stream on your phone. -
Hello, I just activated another iphone4 on my account and it is now linked to my other iphone. If I delete a contact on one it deletes it on the other. Does anyone know how to fix?
One of the phones can keep the current account; on the one that will be moving go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The other phone will not be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account. At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting the original phone's contacts from the new phone's account, and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each phone. -
Good Evening, I have just purchased a Macbook Pro, and have downloaded two SD cards of a trip to USA and Canada last September. One via Lightrooom 4 and the other via iPhoto. I tried to import the SD card via iPhoto into Lightroom 4 but could not find it. I tried to find this "folder"? via other means with no success. however when I open iPhoto, there it is, so it must be on the Hard Drive somwhere??? I am new to Apple having decided to jump ship from Windows. Would be grateful for any help.
iPhoto is a - like Lightroom - Photo Manager. It's a database. Like any db to get data out you have to export it.
File -> Export
and in this case set the Kind to Original.
iPhoto is a $15 app, LR is somewhat more expensive. As they both want to manage the photos there's no good usage scenario where you use both. Pick one horse and ride, essentially.

Hello, I have an iMac and an iPad 2. one of my kids have an iTouch and the other an iPhone 4S.
When their friends call, it shows up on my iPad 2 and the list of friends is the list of friends for my child
who has the iPhone 4S. To my knowledge, we all have to share an APPLE ID to share music and apps?...
So is that the problem....what happens if we have separate APPLE ID's....?
Even though we are an APple fam, I am still not sure how the whole thing works....
How do we get separate facetimes? Thank you so much in advance.Actually you can have separate apple ID's for icloud and facetime but use the family one for purchases so you can share your apps, music..
Each owner opens up a Apple ID for only their device(s).. Log into icloud using new apple ID on each device for each person. Hit facetime in settings, and input your new apple id as facetime ID.. Done..
Now go to settings > store and make sure your family account is inputed there on all the devices so you can share your purcahsed music, apps, videos, etc....
I am sharing purcahses with my entire family but we all have separate icloud, facetime, apple ID etc.. Its imperative you have split Apple ID's for icloud otherwise all your phonebooks will mix and match.....
Also as far as iphone goes.. Iphone can be set up to use apple ID to call or phonenumber (by default) So if you facetime a number it will ring only on that phone, if you facetime an apple ID that is on the iphone it will ring on all devices associated with that apple ID
