How can I use an iPad upgrade for an iPhone?

My iPad (Verizon) and iPhone were stolen from my car. My iPad has an upgrade available. I understand that normally the iPad can only be upgraded to another tablet. But someone told me I may be able to switch the upgrade to a phone.
I have an old Verizon phone I'm not using. I think the process was perhaps to activate this old phone on the iPad's phone number then upgrade to an iPhone.  Or perhaps it was to activate the old phone on a new line and then switch the iPad's upgrade to it.  I am not sure.
Can anyone see a way to use my iPad upgrade toward a new iPhone?

    Hi damormino,
Oh my! That definitely sounds upsetting. I fully understand how aggravating it can be to have your devices stolen. The good news is, we do have options. Do you recall if insurance was selected on either lines? When it comes to upgrading a tablet line unfortunately our system does document the type of upgrade and type of device that was previously used even if you were to activate a basi device. My sincere apologies that you would be unable to utilize this upgrade to obtain a smartphone or basic device. Have you considered utilizing http://vz.to/ZILXBT? Please keep us posted, thanks!

  • Can i use my husbands upgrade for the iphone 6 promotion

    My line is technically not eligible for upgrade, but my husbands line is (we are on a family plan with my mom). Last time I upgraded, they let me use my husbands upgrade since his was available. Can I do this for the iphone 6 promotion or will they not allow it?

    Can I transfer upgrade eligibility from one line to another?
    If you have multiple devices on your account and one is eligible for an upgrade, you can transfer upgrade eligibility to another line on your account whenupgrading your device in My Verizon. When you transfer eligibility from one line to another, the original line is no longer eligible for the upgrade discount.
    To transfer upgrade eligibility from one line to another line on your account:Go to the Upgrade Device page in My Verizon.
    Click Transfer Upgrade.
    Note: If the Transfer Upgrade link isn’t appearing, you may not be eligible to transfer an upgrade at this time
    Select the mobile number you want to upgrade. This will transfer upgrade eligibility to that line.
    Select the device you want to upgrade to and click Next.
    Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the remaining steps to upgrade your device.
    You’ve successfully transferred your upgrade eligibility to another line.

  • How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

    How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
    Hi there
    My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
    What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
    This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
    How do I do this please?
    I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
    So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
    Any advise please?
    Thanks

    You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
    The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
    It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

  • How can I use my iPad to check-in and check-out books to my students in my classroom?

    How can I use my iPad to check-in and check-out books to my students in my classroom?

    Assuming there won't be any wi-fi netwokrs, will there be cellular reception there?
    If so, you need to check if a carrier or the carrier if there is only one, offers a data only plan for the iPad and similar devices along with providing a mico-SIM card. If a carrier offers a data only plan with a full size SIM card, you can cut the SIM card down to mico-SIM size. There are devices that provide for this.
    If there is cellular reception but a carrier or the carrier doesn't have a data plan only for the iPad and similar devices but offers a tethering plan for phones on their network, you can tether your iPad to the cell phone for internet access via the carrier's cellular network.

  • How can I use my iPad in France

    I live in Canada and I am going to France and Italy in August. How can I use my iPad in Europe.

    Do you have a wifi only version or a 3G one?
    You can always use free wifi services, anywhere, so hotels, cafe's, restaurants, libraries, and so on which offer free wifi will be available to you (there are even travel web sites available that will list what is available if you search a bit).
    If you have the most recent iPad, you can also get a SIM card when over there, with a local carrier and use that (the newest iPads all have international GSM slots).
    Or, ask your Canadian carrier what sort of international plans/roaming they may offer.
    All depends on just how much access you want or need, and how much you are willing to pay for it.  Free is free, a local carrier will almost certainly be cheaper than any roaming plan, but you may need to research who offers what plans (a pre-paid local SIM would be the best option).

    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • How can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    how can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    Here's a possible workaround:
    Create the slideshow in Iphoto and add a theme and music.
    Install Picasa  and it will include the slideshow on it's indexed list.
    Upload the slideshow to PicasaWebAlbums and send the link to anyone you wish.
    The music and theme is preserved.
    Caveat: My playback pictures appear darker than usual but that could be just lousy photography...:)
