Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. MY question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this aren't working

HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
Help!

That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

How do you get your text messages to not show on the screen when they come in

How do you get your text messages to show on the screen when then come in? My iphone 3s would just say the persons name and text message. This says the persons name and the whole message

I purchased an upgrade to my one note app. How can I get that to transfer to my new iPad?

I purchased an upgrade for my OneNote app, how do I get that to transfer to my new iPad? I downloaded the app but the upgrade is not loaded on this new iPad.

One way is to open the App Store on your iPad and click the "Updates" link in the lower right. You should see OneNote there with a clickable "Download" button. Click the button and wait for the download and install to complete.

Why can't people send a text message to my new iPad phone number

Why can't people send a text message tou my new iPad phone number? I just got this iPad for my birthday and my wife has secretly told everyone the new number to send text messages to as a surprise when I onpened it... but none came through.

Only individuals with iOS devices can message you and they must message you via the email address(es) associated with your Apple ID.
They cannot message a phone number unless you have an iPhone associated with the account.

HT4528 How do I get my text messages transferred to a new iphone?

I upgraded to a new phone, and when I backed it up from itunes the text messages were not there. How do I retreive them from my old phone?

I might have omitted another requirement - sorry.
You need the same number, and you have it. I think it also has to be with the same cellular carrier.

I accidently synced my phone to my dads itunes account, so when he went to 'backup' his phone, he got all of my photos and text messages. How do I get his text messages and photos back?

When I first got an iPhone, I didnt have my own iTunes account. So in turn i used my Dads. Well being unaware of what i was doing, I synced my iPhone to his account. Well a couple of months ago, i started using my moms apple ID to buy things in the app store, and i started recieving her text messages. Now my dad, has plugged his phone into his itunes account and has synced it and has all of my photos, his contacts are still there, but he has all of my apps, all of my text messages and has all of my photos. What can i do to get his things back? And stop getting my moms text messages. I really would like some help on this please Thanks!!!

Transfer My Data doesn't work to grab them from your Android phone? That bites... I thought that was a fairly new app for Windows Phone that was supposed to make it easier. I had to take old texts and paste them into Word to upgrade from Windows 7.8 to Windows 8. Tedious, but when you gotta save em... Shoot, there was one conversation that was so long, I just broke out the video camera and started scrolling them on the phone so I could get them later. Yea, I was that intent on getting them.

I was sending a text and then the screen went blank with the white apple. I turned my iphone back on and all my texts and contacts were gone. How can i get my text messages back?

My friend was sending a text with a pic as an attachment and then suddenly, she got a blank screen with the white apple logo and it then shut off. When she turned it back on, she discovered all her texts and her contacts were missing. How can she get them back? She's got a iOS 4.3.5 with a 16GB iPhone 4.

Connect to the computer she regularly syncs to, right click on the iPhone's name in iTunes, and choose "restore from backup".

How do I copy my email messages to my new ipad?

Hello,
Just got a new iPad, and I would like to transfer the email messages that are saved on the old ipad to the new one. I'm not bothered for the settings, as they are easy enough to do on the new one.
I checked the articles about backing up and restoring, but then noticed this article that says (if I read it correctly) that whilst the account settings will be backed up, the saved messages won't. Well, that's the exact opposite of what I want. I'm not bothered about the account settings, but I specifically want the saved messages to be backed up, as I want to copy them across to the the new ipad.
Anyone able to help? This all seems very complex for what should be a simple operation. Thanks

I could not agree more with these statements!
Anyone know how to copy saved emails from one ipad to another? This is about the mst obvious and important thing I can imagine anyone wanting to do when they get a new ipad, that I can't believe Apple have made it so hard.
Were you ever able to find a way to get your cached/saved POP emails over to your new iPad? How can there NOT be a way to do this? I don't care that POP is old technology -- the iPad allows it to be used so it should provide sufficient functionality to make full use of it. Mailbox export/import is a basic function of any mail application.

How do I get high res aperture images on new iPad?

I want high quality images synced from aperture. I bought the new ipad specificaly to do artwork and image maniuplations. I was loving the ipad 2 but working with such low res images won't work for reporduction. I thought with the new ipad when I synced to aperture that I would get higher res files. They look like the same small images to me.

Art,
I'm still working out the details myself, but I may have some helpful information.
If you are syncing through iTunes, then I believe the resolution is dictated by the preview preferences in Aperture. I can't remember what the default setting was, but I changed it to the maximum allowable for the iPad1 some time ago. The new iPad can handle more resolution, so you can change the setting in preferences to a higher level. Here is where it gets tricky, I don't think Aperture automatically updates the preview to the new settings. In fact, I it tells you it is up to date. I got past this by forcing the generate new preview feature (select the photo, hold down the option key, right click, and select generate preview). I suggest doing this with one photo to see how it works for you. Ff you do 1600 like I did, it takes some time. Although, I'm still hoping for better, I can see the difference immediately over my iPad1 settings. I am able to zoom in on the ipad, which much less obvious degradation of the image.
I did get some variation in the preview size, even though the full image sizes are close. My file size ranged from 800K to 2.8M for some sample images transferred to the ipad. This happened at the "no limit"setting in preferences.
As I said, I'm still playing with it. I bought the 64GB model so I could store and present very high resolution photos on the iPad.

I can't send a text message with this new iPad 3

I cannot send a text to a friend with an older iPhone. I tried turning iMessage off but it keeps prompting me to log in instead of sending the text via SMS with my cellular plan. Any suggestions?

So you did not read about iMessage before you bought the iPad? If you did, you would know that you can only text other iOS 5 users.
