Hey i was wondering if you could change your iChat account name to your cell phone number ?
Is there a way to change it from your email to a cell phone number?
HI,
I am not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve.
AIM accounts (Screen Names) can be linked to some extent to Mobile/Cell phone
https://settings.aim.com/ You need to Log in here to see more info in the Mobile setting
You can also Send SMS to US based phones (on Carriers that support this)
http://www.aim.com/ Scroll down the page a little.
Basically an US based Cell Phone Number can be added As If it is a Buddy. (Technically the Computer has to be set to the US to see the menu items in some version of iChat).
My the time you update to Mountain Lion then the Messages app has iMessages added to what iChat can do.
The iMessages account can link and then sync iMessages sent to an iPhone Number and /or and Apple ID.
It will work on the Mac version of Messages meaning you can Send If you were the iPhone (number) and also receive iMessages sent to the iPhone number)
The same is true on the iPhone it can Receive and Send from both.
I chat can not do this last item.
There is no way that I now of to "Spoof" a phone number as the Screen Name other than th Mobile Link in the first item I linked you to.

I recently restored my ipad and backed it up. I was wondering if you could place back certain files only to your ipad instead of the whole backup.
the backup options on the iPad doesn't have that option

i was wondering if you could have one desktop audio playing through your speakers and the other one playing through your apple tv at the same time?
Problem here is you admit you cannot afford the service.
And you want to blame Verizon for losing a job because you have no cell phone.
If your job depends on that phone I would pay it on time every time if you need a job to pay your bill.
No other service is going to treat you any different. And if you cannot afford Verizon's monthly invoice how are you going to afford new devices, activation fees, possible security deposits on any other cellular carrier? You can't.
Also if you made an arraignment to pay and then decide you cannot do so, why should Verizon extend you service or credit, or why is it you want to use the service and data and not pay for it as agreed.
Get a prepay phone. Its evident the cost is too high for you to afford on post pay.
Good Luck -
My phone broke and I need a new phone but my upgrade is in August.
I read around and had a hard time understanding but I don't think Sprint IPhones will work on Verizon. Thanks for any responseTo my knowledge, a Sprint device will not work on VZW.

I was wondering if i could change my black iphone 4s for a white one. My Iphone is only about 30 days, for I got it on christmas and it has no scratches, no dents, or anything like that.
No, you cannot exchange your iPhone for another one, and your iPhone is also out of the return time period. You can sell your iPhone, however, and put the money towards a white one.

I broke my ipod 5 generation ipod and had some pretty important notes on there and it will not start again. I also have an ipod 4th generation and I was wondering if you could use icloud or something to restore my notes on to this ipod. Any ideas?
If you had been syncing notes on your iPod with iCloud before this happened, go to icloud.com and confirm that your notes are still there. If they are, you could either email them to yourself one at a time from icloud.com or you could sign into your icloud account on your other iPad in Settings>iCloud and turn Notes to On to sync them to your other iPod.

RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). -

I've used a uk iPad in Italy with just an adapter for the UK charger and it charged quite happily.
Mains voltage in Italy is 220/240 and I think Germany is similar so a basic pin adapter should work.
What has that got to do with the OP wanting to exchange a brand new iPad from the UK in Germany for a larger capacity model in an Apple Store -
Hello, my name is brad and I recently had a voicemail app that I was using and now i got rid of it. But now my voicemail for the phone will not work. I tried to reset the network settings and nothing happened. I was wondering if you could help me out?
When you set up a voicemail redirection, usually you have to remove that redirection from the account that redirected it. Like Google Voice, if you activate Google Voice to receive your voicemail, you will have to log into voice.google.com to turn it off. If you contact your carrier, they can tell you exactly what program has taken over your voicemail functionality just in case you are stuck, but if you know the name of that App, I'm sure you will be able to figure it out. Hope this helps you out.

As mentioned above, I bought a MBP 13' 3 days agovthat has intel HD graphics 3000. I can run my school programs but it's super slow, so that defeats the purpose why I went to change my lappy. So i was wondering if i could exchange this 13' for the 15' one since it has a better graphics card. Do you think Apple will be able to do that? Since their policy is to make all customers happy with their purchase.
PS Im not so well informed about all these graphics card thing and thought Mac was good for designing stuff. And I bought in Singapore.
Any help is very much appreciated! And Thanks in advance!Yes if you hurry, there is a restocking fee I think though. You'll have to check with the store you bought it from.
You want the 15" or better, nice video card in there and a anti-glare option
3D game to your hearts content. the 13" is weak. -
I had an old iPod nano with my content saved on it and was stolen. As well, I can't find and access my old account that I had with it. I bought an iPod touch and made a new account so that I could use the iTouch. Anyone know how to find the old account and how to transfer data from the old one to the new account?

Ho there I have an iPhone 4 and is currently away for service but I wondered if it will be covered by the warranty as the silent button was broken and I sent for a box and as the box was being delivered I was juggling a lot and dropped my phone in water. I wondering if it will be covered due to the fact the button was broke before the water damage.
ThanksMost likely not but only Apple can say for sure.

CAn you send music or other files like that by Bluetooth from one apple device to another?
Not possible. Bluetooth in iOS does not support file transfer.
Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree
telephone devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer
apps from the app store and internet tethering where provided
by the carrier. Other than this it will not connect to a
phone/computer/device. (thanks to ckuan for the wording) -
How do I Change my email in message to my cell phone number
How do I change my email address to my mobile # in iMessage?
Go to Settings->Messages on your iPhone and turn them off, wait a minute and turn them on Again.
It should refresh the addresses, and the number should show in Messages on your iPad as an option.
I just did this on my iPhone and iPad and it worked fine.
You'll get a message on your iPhone that the iPhone number has been added to the iPad.
You can then go to the "Start New Conversations From" section on your iPad and tap the number to set it as the default.
