Hopw can I upgrade to the new iPhone 3G...i got my first Iphone in April...

should i upgrade or just get version 2.0?????? HELP!

You can wait as long as you want to upgrade. You are eligible at anytime, unless you get a subsidized phone, to upgrade. you can upgrade to 2.0 and see how you fill about it and then at a later time get the new Iphone. The real question you have to ask is 1)can you recieve 3g 2)will you use it enough to make a diffrence 3)Would gps capabilities come in handy or would you never use it. Those are the only real difrences in the two products. good luck with your decision.

  • Why is it I can't just buy the new iPhone without needing an upgrade?

    This has been the most bizarre experience I have ever encountered, and it's enough to put me off Verizon and Apple altogether.
    Yesterday, I went to pick up the new iPhone for myself and my wife, having gotten and email that we were eligible for the Early EDGE upgrade. I'm first told at the store that Apple is only allowing 1 phone per person to be sold... Ok, fine. So I get inside and, being the decent gentleman I am, opt to upgrade my wife's line first and will just do mine later that day. Upgrade for her goes smooth, now it's time to do mine. Oh, wait, apparently the EDGE upgrade can be applied to one line, and it was just my wife's; a detail that was cleverly hidden at the bottom of the email in black on grey text after all the marketing copy about how great the new edge program is. The Verizon rep tries to think of ways to get me the phone cheaper, but ultimately can't. I ask if I can just buy the phone at cost, and I'm told no because it doesn't go on sale to the general public until later, though no time is given. Again, Apple's rules.
    Now, I'm pretty sure Apple could care less about exactly when someone buys their phone if they have the cash to do so, and I'm doubly sure they don't care about making sure those with upgrades can get the phone. All of this is starting to sound a little iffy. Whatever, I let it slide.
    It is now 6pm, still yesterday, and we head into Best Buy to look at cases and see if they have a display 6 Plus to check out, as I'm curious about the size. I ask a Best Buy rep if they have any iPhone 6s left; they do; 128gbs? Yup. Silver??? Yup. VERIZON???? Yup. I'LL TAKE IT! One iPhone 6 at full price please! Oh, wait, no; Apple boogie man says I can't buy the phone for full price, I have to have to qualify for an upgrade. (I'm getting more and more ****** as I'm typing this, FYI). Ok, so now clearly something is amiss. 2 different locations- the official Verizon Store AND Best Buy are telling me I can't buy the phone without an upgrade, and both of them suggesting Early EDGE, even though I have the cash to just buy it. I tweet my frustration to both VerizonWireless and Apple. AC from Verizon Support tweets back sayings they should have let me buy it... Wow, this is ridiculous.
    Can someone please clarify this: who is correct here? Is it really Apple playing gate keeper and looking out for those upgrade-only customers? Why is it 2 different places told me the same thing, yet the support rep is telling me something different?
    At this point I'm just not going to both attempting to get the phone for a while since this has put me off even trying, but some clarity on just what is going on would be nice. Also, please talk to your Director of Customer Loyalty about his team's email design. While I'm fine with finding out it was just one line, (though I would have preferred both since my wife and I have been on the same account since it opened...), burying that information at the bottom of the email is not going to help retain customers. Expiration dates and other terms of service are fine there, but which line the upgrade applies to needs to be surfaced sooner.

    It sounds as if you only had one line with an upgrade available. So you can only upgrade one line. For you to upgrade as well, you will have to wait until your upgrade is available. You can check that at MyVerizon. That's just how it works. All carriers and phone brands are the same. I have to wait until February to upgrade. The only thing you can do to get the new iPhone, is add a new line. But then you're paying for a line you don't need.

    There is no upgrade. It's a separate application.

    I have a white macbook purchased early 2008. I'm updated to ver. 10.6.8 can I upgrade to the new mountain lion and will it operate?

    It doesn't appear to be Mountain Lion compatible. See below.
    Your Mac must be one of the following models:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)

  • Can i upgrade to the new subscription by paying th...

    I subscribed for unlimited india calling on april 2012 for one year.
    Now I can see lot other countried are added in to the plan, can I upgrade to the newer plan by paying the difference

    Hi Marcello,
    first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    No to both of your questions:
    No, you cannot clone the PPC hard disk to a new Intel disk. The systems are completely different.
    No, you don't have to reinstall all your software manually.
    You have to install Tiger from the install DVD that shipped with that MacBook Pro. You CANNOT use any other install disk, so take care you don't damage it! Once this is done you can transfer all your data, applications and settings from the old computer using the migration assistant in /Applications/Utilities.
    Be aware that there might be problems with applications that are not universal binaries and require Rosetta emulation: Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated.
    If this answered your question please consider granting some stars: Why reward points?

  • HT4623 is my contract completed so that I can upgrade to the new iPhone?

    I have the iphone 4S, is my contract completed so I can upgrade to the new 5S?

    You don't even know that there will be a 5s until after today's event and it probably won't be available straight away - you'll have to wait for anything to launch, so you might have a long wait before you upgrade.
    Other than that, you need to ask your phone company/carrier whether you can upgrade or not - only they can tell you that and nobody else.

  • Can you down load the new IPHONE 4.3 with our usinf Itunes

    how can I down load the new update for my Iphone 4

    The same way you download every update for iOS.
    Connect the iPhone to the computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select the device from the left pane.
    Select "Check for updates".
    Follow on-screen instructions.

  • Why can't I buy the new Iphone?

    Is anyone as ****** off as me that I cannot buy the new Iphone without paying $499? I purchased the first phone for $700, the second phone for $500 all on the day they came out. Now Apple will let anyone who didn't buy it before get it for $299 but I gotta pay $200 extra or wait till December. Way to **** off your core group. I plan on buying a new phone every year but if I have to wait till December I might as well wait till next June and get a phone that has 64Gigs of memory. Effectively this policy stinks and I'll spend less on apple products as a result. If anyone knows how to get a message through to the idiots who came out with this brilliant marketing strategy let me know.

    The first generation iPhone was not subsidized by AT&T in the traditional way. The 8GB first generation iPhone retailed for $599 when first released, not $699, and Apple provided everyone who paid that price a $100 credit.
    The iPhone 3G was/is subsidized by AT&T. Since the first generation iPhone was not subsidized by AT&T in the traditional way, all subscribers who purchased and activated a first generation iPhone qualified for AT&T's upgrade or fully subsidized price for the iPhone 3G when first released, or anytime thereafter. There may have been an exception such as someone purchasing another phone at AT&T's subsidized price within a month before the first generation iPhone was released and keeping the phone.
    This same applies to every carrier in regards to subsidized phones. You must fulfill your contract requirement for an existing subsidized phone before you qualify for upgrade or fully subsidized pricing with a new phone. Was the first generation iPhone your first cell phone and cellular service? If not, this should no be anything new.
    I was a Verizon subscriber for over 6 years before switching to AT&T before the iPhone was available. The entire time I was a Verizon subscriber, I didn't qualify for Verizon's upgrade or fully subsidized price with a new phone until the last 3 months of my 2 year contract for an existing subsidized phone. I got a new phone every 2 years basically, which is common. If I wanted a new phone every 12 months, I would have been required to pay the full retail sales price for the phone I wanted, or at a higher price that was not fully subsidized by Verizon.

  • Using firefox version 10.5.8 now-can I upgrade to the new operating system?

    I'm still using the firefox version 10.5.8 operating system and now my comuter is freezing up and now working well with some web sites.
    I use my computer for work and have so many documents I can't afford to lose informaiton.
    Help please... is there a way I can upgrade to the newer operating system without putting my documents at risk?

    Tinacoffee,
    Firefox is a browser; do you mean that your MacBook Pro currently has Mac OS X 10.5.8 (“Leopard”) as its operating system?
    If you can’t afford to lose your documents, have you been making regular backups of your MacBook Pro’s internal disk to date?
    You can upgrade your MacBook Pro to at least Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.8). Depending upon which model you have, you could potentially upgrade it to the current version, Mavericks (OS X 10.9.2), but you’ll need to get to 10.6.8 before you can upgrade any further. You can do that by purchasing the white retail Snow Leopard DVD, installing Snow Leopard, and then running Software Update to get to 10.6.8. Note that if you currently depend upon any PowerPC applications, they will not work on versions of OS X later than 10.6.8. You might also need to upgrade its installed RAM to ensure good performance on a newer operating system.
    Before you do any operating system upgrade, be sure that you have made a backup of your valuable documents.
    Note that your current freeze up could be resolvable without having to upgrade your operating system. Would you prefer to stay with Leopard and resolve the freeze, or would you prefer to upgrade to a newer operating system?

  • Hello.  I have Adobe Captivate 6 and wanting to upgrade.  How can I upgrade to the new Captivate 8 since I do not have 7 or access to 7?  Doesn't make since I'd have to buy another full version opposed to simply upgrading what I have.  Please help.

    How can I upgrade Adobe Captivate 6 without purchasing the full version of the new Captivate 8?
    I'm told that the window of opportunity to upgrade to 7 was short and now that 8 is out i cannot leap from 6 to 8.  Doesn't make since that I'd have to buy a full version of a program I already own.
    Can anyone help me with a simple upgrade possibility?

    It stinks that there isn't an upgrade option from 6, but it's due to the new subscription option for Captivate which actually ends up being far cheaper for you in the long run. Captivate 7 came out a little over a year ago the upgrade for that was the same as the 7 to 8 upgrade. As the upgrade is $400 and a subscription is only $20 per month, or $240 for a year, you'll end up saving money should the next upgrade come out in another year.

    Your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements.  There isn't anything you are going to be able to do to get it to work.  The lowest model that can run it is 5,1 you MacBook is too outdated to be able to run Mavericks.

  • I have an iMac Intel  2 Duo with Mac 0SX Snow Leopard downloaded.  Can I upgrade to the new mountain lion

    I have an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OSX Snow Leopard installed.  Would it be ok to download the new Mountain Lion?

    Your iMac needs to be a mid-2007 or newer model. See this page for specs supported, and assuming you meet them, you can upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (see step 2 on the linked page).

  • When getting a warranty replacement from apple can you upgrade to the new model?

    When you take your phone in to apple, and get them to replace it with another phone is it always a like for like replacement or can you upgrade and pay extra for a newer model upgrade?

    Roaminggnome seems to know for sure, but it sure doesn't hurt to turn on the sugar and ask. I would just say that you had been seriously considering upgrading to the 5, and then you had this problem (I think you'll be in a better position if the problem is something original to the phone, and not a 'user misuse/damage' and if you're still under warranty somehow). I mean, you have the top model 4s, a nice amount of GB, depending on the problem, they can still refurb it and make a decent amount on it, I've purchased refurb products on Apple's site, and they are still not cheap! 
    I don't know if they will or not, but it certainly cannot hurt. Just say you were really looking to upgrade and were upset when you had problem xx, before you could use it to upgrade or sell it.  Be super, super nice, and just say like, 'Are there any upgrade options rather than just getting a new 4S or refurb (I think that's what they'll send you, but it's all but a brand new phone. That's not a terrible thing.) If you wouldn't mind, offer to buy a 5 refurb. My iTouch refurb, bought from Apple, came pretty much exactly the same as a new one, the outer components are all brand new, they have the cords/earbuds, all that...the only difference was mine came in a different box....but my original box had John Lennon in it, so that might have been a special deal? IDK
    I've gotten ppl to do some 'out of the box' things they don't normally do, just by being crazy nice, and super accommodating, easy, and flexible. It surely cannot hurt to try, good luck and let me know if it works, so I can try when I return my Mini!!
