Got new ipad; data plan transferred to new SIM; what to do with old SIM?

Hi, I bought a "new iPad" and just set it up as a restore of my old iPad. It seems to have automagically transferred the data plan from my old sim to the new sim that was already in the iPad. The old SIM isn't working any more, I tested it.
I am giving my old iPad (iPad 2) to a friend, I'm wondering if I should give them the old SIM card as well, it seems like it's ready to be set up as a new account.
When I put the old sim card in the new iPad, it says there's no data left on it and asks if I want to set up an account.
There was also a note that you could transfer an old plan to this SIM just by logging in to the account for the other SIM, so I think this automatically happened with the new iPad.
Should I give my friend the old SIM as well as let them use that to set up a new account, or should I trash or store it and ask them to go to AT&T store to get a new sim?
Thanks

Your friend can use the old SIM card.

New computer has been loaded with old Itunes library but a number of earlier purchases say they are not "authorized" on this computer even though the bulk of my library works-- this is only about 5% of the total but were all purchased 9/18/2008 or before?

New computer has been loaded with old Itunes library but a number of purchases prior to 9/18/08 are not "authorized" when I try to play them.
They are all items I purchased from Itunes but they won't play any longer even though they show in my Itunes library.
Doesn't work when I enter account info and password either.
This is only about 5% of my library and many purchased items play no problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Two words, Migration Assistant. It will transfer files between two Macs using a firewire cable automagically.

Three words, Target Disk Mode. Use a firewire cable to connect two Macs and then hold down the T key when you boot the Mac you want to transfer files from, G4 Tower. It will appear as a hard drive on the desktop of your Macbook Pro. Then you can just drag and drop the whole folder.

Droid X - Data plan required when you active a used phone with no new contract?

Since the droid X is an older smartphone, is a data plan still required when you active a used phone without signing a new contract?

Droid X Launch Date: 7/15/2010
Deadline for smartphone release without data plan requirement: November 2008.
Verizon will not allow you to activate *any* android phone without data.

Cancelling iPad data plan

Hi folks,
I've seen all sorts of odd things about how to go about cancelling a data plan for my iPad. I called customer service and got yet a different set of answers. So...
If I want to finish out the current month and cancel at that point what do I do?
Apparently there is a "suspend" option and a "cancel" option. I've seen people claim here that cancelling an account means you'll need to get a new SIM card. True?
I've also seen it posted here that suspending an account may result in them restarting your service without you asking them to do so. True?
The lady I spoke with at customer service said that suspending the account was a more permanent action and should only be done if the device was lost or broken. True?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4572 indicates that I need to cancel the account, which seems overkill as I'd like to reactive it later. Will I be able to do so just as easily as when I first activated it?
Anything else I should know about turning off the data service?
Thanks,
Mark

Hey there Mark1267,
I am saddened to hear that you are thinking about cancelling the data plan on your account. We appreciate your continued support and would like to continue our relationship. What has you thinking of cancelling?
To answer your questions I would first need to find out if you are on a prepaid or postpaid account? Which iPad are you currently using?
When you disconnect service, the disconnect date is set to the end of the bill cycle by default.
If you are on a postpaid account there is a suspend option. If you would like to suspend service and billing you would want to suspend the device with billing. Since you plan on reactivating it later this may be your best option. This will suspend service and billing for 90 days. The service will reconnect on the 91st day but you have the option to resuspend for another 90 days for a total of 180 days in a calender year. This allows you to suspend and reconnect as needed. This will extend our your customer agreement for the amount of days you leave the line suspended but if your iPad isn't under contract it will not effect that. For more steps on suspending please visit http://vz.to/10j0Iv2.
I know this is a lot of information Mark, so please let me know if you have additional questions.

I lost my hardrive, got new computer, tried to sync with itunes and my personal music (not purchased) does not show up. Do i have to re-download all my personal music once again?

I lost my hardrive, got new computer, reloaded itunes, tried to sync with ipod nano and only my purchased music shows up - how do I get my downloaded music back. message says ipod is sync'd with other library - the one I lost on my old computer! Help!

Sue,
I recommend an external drive to maintain your music. All your purchases are held in iCloud...so redownloading should be easy. Also, Home sharing is a great way to transfer to a new computer, but in the case of hard drive failure your options are limited. Home sharing is specifically for transferring to another pc. Good luck!

How to view iPad data plan usage history?

Is there a way to view AT&T's Data Plan usage by month?
All that I can find is what is available on the iPad Settings in Cellular plan. I don't find a web site login or any other way to see what I've used each month.
Thanks for any info.

So Urumilton you are saying that all BlackBerry phones have the ability to access Wi-Fi? Are you sure that it isn't based on the carrier? The BlackBerry phone that I have is through a regional carrier that is very similar to Verizon. I have looked everywhere on my phone and there is no way, that I can see, that I would be able to get on to Wi-Fi. While a friends BlackBerry that is on AT&T has the ability to get on to Wi-Fi.
I am going to have to disagree with you, and say that it is based on the carrier. That's just based on what I have seen with my phone. If I am wrong could you please tell me how I would be able to access Wi-Fi. I would like to take advantage of this feature. Thanks

HT4157 IPAD data plan

I had a data plan but the credit card must have expired. Do I just sign u again?

Did you get it resolved? If so, who/how did they take care of it?
Did you not try just signing up again? The iPad is supposed to be able to set up a month-to-month account, so that should work too.

Ipad data plan

if i cnx my verizon high speed for my pc but retain a verizon data plan for my ipad will i lose my verizon email address?

Yes, you would lose the email address. Your verizon.net address is linked to your HSI or FiOS account. Email isn't provided for wireless plans.
You could keep it by purchasing Verizon Your Domain if you are looking to save money without losing your address. It's not free, but $19.95/year is cheaper than even the cheapest internet plan.
The best advice though is probably to get an email address that is not provided by your ISP. There are several free providers out there (Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail just to name a few), and some very cheap custom domain options. None of those would have to change when you change your service provider, meaning you wouldn't have to worry about situations like this one.
If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.

Where do I buy an iPad data plan in Prague?

We're going to Prague, Czech Republic in September and I'm wondering where in Prague to purchase a data plan for my iPad3. Also, if anyone has a link to a website for Czech Republic data plans that would be helpful. I plan to use wifi where available, but want to be connected to the internet while travelling. Thanks.

VZW - Bring back global data plans or this will be my last trip with a VZW phone in my pocket

(Background -I travel from the US to NZ&AU 3 times per year 2-3 weeks at a time for business. After my last trip I raved about VZW's data service in AU and was looking forward to having it available again. I even purchased a Droid 2 Global for my upcoming trip because I knew i could rely on the service. Called VZW today to make arrangements..)
Last trip (September 2010) : $65 for unlimited data
This trip (: $20/MB
Dear Verizon -
At this data rate your product is no longer a reliable business tool - it is at best a novelty. Even though I have a capable device in my pocket, I will have to search out wifi hotspots throughout my trip b/c your service is cost prohibitive. This change makes a clear statement that you do not want to be taken seriously as a global service provider, and is disrespectful to those of us who signed contracts with you based on the availability of your international data plan.
As my trip is just 1 day away, I do not have time to find a new provider before i leave. This, however, will be my last trip abroad with a Verizon phone in my pocket if the unlimited data plan is not brought back. Early termination fee? Doesn't look so bad when you consider that it costs more to download 15MB than it does to terminate my contract.
If anyone at Verizon actually reads this board, please take this thread as a notice from myself and those who post below that you will be losing us as customers if this situation is not rectified.

Agree completely.
Background: I've posted a few replies to this topic on Droidforums.net (Under Droid 2 Global). Just found out about this plan being canceled this week while preparing for a 1 month trip to Japan - figured I would just call to reinstate the plan only to be told it no longer exists. I am a new VZW customer as of this past November and had used the unlimited data plan on a trip passing through S. Korea and 2 weeks in the Philippines in December - Droid 2 Global worked flawlessly for data once Global Support was able assist with the correct settings.
I am extremely disappointed and feel I was misled when entering into a 2 year contract. From what I have read it sounds like plans were in the works to cancel the plan with a notice being sent to existing customers last November or something. Nice that I was told the truth as it was the primary reason I switched from AT&T. By rights the salesman had an obligation to tell me "you know, this plan is being eliminated as of January xx so if you want to keep it you need to keep it active".
Regarding the 4G LTE service, yes the CS agent I spoke with the other night mentioned this as well but either way I am hosed into getting a new device at that point so give me one good reason to stay with VZW. At this point as I mention below I am perfectly willing to cut my losses and go back to Brother Orange or other. In all honesty what I have found in the past 3 months of nationwide travel is that the call quality is muddy at best compared to my old RazorV3 on Orange and seems to be better on NON-VZW networks.
Fool me once, shame on you... Fool me twice shame on me. This is going to hurt VZW more than it hurts me.
If anyone else on this forum could verify if I was given the correct contact names noted below (this came via text msg from CS agent as I was still speaking with her - bless her heart):
1.) Daniel S. Mead is in fact the President & CEO and
2.) T.J. Fox is the Regional President for IL and WI.
I have every intention of writing a more formal version of below and sending via Fedex or USPS with signature required as it seems electronic means is not allowed.
The following is posted on the above mentioned forum:
Strength in numbers...
I recall one of the earlier posters had the idea of a petition and I see that Word attachments are allowed here so perhaps I'll draft something up on the flight this Sunday from LAX to NRT and post it next week. Perhaps not so much a petition but more of an "open letter", potentially post it on VZW's own forum as well.
I talked with CS last night for a while regarding another issue and also brought this up. The agent provided me with the following contacts and suggested I write a letter:
Daniel S. Mead - President & CEO
One Verizon Way
Basking Ridge, NJ 07920
T.J. Fox - Regional President IL, WI,
777 Big Timber Rd.
Elgin, IL 60123
If anyone else wants to take a crack be my guest, I just think that with minimal effort Verizon might take notice.
Key points as follows:
1.) $20/Mb for Global Data (Verizon doesn't seem to "get" the idea that "Global" is bigger than just North America, Canada, Mexico and Europe) is not just inconvenient it is outrageously overpriced rendering the phones useless:
Again, using my last months usage as a reference and I don't believe I am a heavy user - email, some browsing, Weatherbug, Nav. etc: 250Mb at $20/Mb = $5,000
Do they seriously think anyone can afford that? All they have done is to hurt their own bottom line.
I'd be really curious to know how many subscribers to the $64.99 Global plan they had or in other words how much revenue they lost.
I'd be happy with a compromise but to eliminate it completely?
2.) According to Global Support, Data has to be either on or off, no way to selectively leave on POP email which is really the only thing I have a need for and simply turn off everything else. Even if you use an App killer how do you really prove there is no data transferring unless you specifically tell the device.
Might be time to root if I could be sure it would eliminate unwanted data transfer.
3.) The availability of this plan vs. other carriers was the only reason I switched from AT&T last November. No mention was ever made of this plan going away. Misleading sales tactics IMHO.
4.) Canceling my contract (family plan at ~ $190/month) that is only 3 months old at this point would sting a little bit for me in terms of 2 lines @ $320 each for early termination.
But, from Verizon's perspective that would be 21 months of lost revenue or ~$4000.
So if 10 people were to send letters/ 10 signatures, we're are talking about potentially $40,000 or more.
100 people now we are starting to get into serious money.
Any way you look at this, Verizon has only succeeded in hurting their own bottom line: Potential canceled contracts, customers spending the money elsewhere such as Japan's Softbank or NTT Docomo in my case, potential new customers lost due to publicity of this, etc.
Any +/- feedback appreciated

New iMac, what to do with Macbook Pro

Hi there,
Okay, I have me new 27" iMac and all my files transferred, but I'm unsure of what to do with my Macbook Pro. (And don't say send it to me! )
Is there an easy way to keep all my files synced between the two? I'm not sure if I will use my MBP any more, I never really travelled with it anyplace and I have an iPad for my overnight trips.
My MBP:
17" 1920x1200 high resolution matte display
2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo
8600GT 256MB Nvidia graphics
4GB of DDR2
160GB harddrive
OS X 10.6.7
This thing runs great and has served me well for the last two years. I thought about selling the MBP, I would rather have somebody use it rather than have it sit on a shelf. I think that the small harddrive might scare some people off, so I thought aobut upgrading it before I sell. I've heard that install a SSD will really increase the performance, but there is a much higher cost there.
Looking for some ideas/suggestions.
Thanks, Mark

Thanks, I sell and buy things on Craigslist, and Jason has some good info. Since my MBP is about 3 years old, I won't be going through that effort.
I'll list again on Craigslist and see how it goes. I looked into the Apple recycle plan and they indicate that they would give me about $550 in a Apple gift card. Could use that to buy my wife a new iMac or new MBP.
Thanks, Mark

New Webservice Datasource:Not Overwriting with old one in Production

Hi,
I have a Webservice Data Source which is loading XML based Data to DSO & Then to Infocube.
In development I it is working fine even Loading Delta perfectly. Then moved it production.

But after moving to production all objercts of DSO/Infocube changes are fine. Even Transformation/DTP is as it is with Development for upload from DSO To Infocube.
Issue : The New Webservice datasource is not overwriting Old one in Production even I capture in Transport request all changes correctly, same also applies Transforamtion/DTP too from Webservice Datasource to DSO..
I need How to Overwrite Datasource/Transforamation/DTP in Production with new objects of same in Development.
Please suggest.Need the steps in detail. It could be bug or some other issue which need to look into.

That is exactly correct: Time Machine backs-up entire systems, not just data. That's how many folks back-up two (or more) Macs to the same TM drive without conflicts.
You cannot combine them.
From one Mac, you see only it's backups when you +Enter Time Machine.+
But you can see those from another Mac by holding down the Option key as you select the TM icon in the menubar, changing +Enter Time Machine+ to +Browse Other Time Machine Disks.+ Then you can browse, restore, or delete those backups normally.
You also need to know that TM backup processes on the new Mac will not delete the backups from the old Mac in the usual fashion. You'll have to do that manually (via TM, not the Finder), or bite that bullet and erase the drive.
To delete backups from the old Mac, +Browse Other Time Machine Disks,+ select the backup you want to delete from the "cascade" of Finder windows and click the "gear" icon in the Finder window's toolbar, then select +Delete Backup.+ You'll get a confirmation prompt, then one for your Administrator's password, then TM will delete it.
Usually the deletion will be very quick; but some backups will take a very long time to delete (if you exit TM, you may see a progress bar). Unfortunately, there's no way to tell which will be quick and which won't.

Using New Apple 27" LED Display with old MacBook Pro (Late 2006) 15"

I've got a MacBook Pro (Model # A1211) Core2Duo 15" 2.16 GHz with only 128 MB of VRAM and a built-in DVI port (I think it is dual-link DVI)
My question is, will the new 27" LED Display work with this machine at its best resolution? If so, what adapter would I need to get it to work?
Thanks!

I don't think the Kanex adapter is the best one to purchase. The information on their website says it will only drive the 27" at 1280 x 720. Although I have not purchased one yet, the ATLONA website http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-Dual-Link-DVI-to-Mini-DisplayPort-Converter-USB-Pow ered.html, claims their Atlona AT-DP400 converter will drive the 27" at its highest resolution of 2560 x 1440. I have read confirmation from some users that this is the case for the DP400.

Last year my daughter received an iPod for her birthday. I sat it up using my Apple ID and password that I use with my iPhone. For Christmas she got an iPad mini and it was sat up this time with her own Apple ID and password. Just wondering if there is any way to transfer or sync the apps and music that she has on her iPod to her iPad even though they have different apple IDs and passwords?

Welcome to the Apple community LSeaward.
Unfortunately, you can't transfer content from one ID to another.
