How does porting work with pre-ordering for the iPhone 5?
I am currently a T-mobile customer with two lines, one for my wife and one for myself. We want to pre-order the iPhone 5 and become Verizon customers. Do I just pre-order the phones and then port our numbers over after we have received them? I guess what I am asking is, do I need to give Verizon any kind of heads up when we pre-order that we will want to port numbers, or can I just take care of all of that once the phones arrive?
I know I have to keep my T-mobile account active until the numbers are ported, so I will definitely being doing that.
That's a great question jimlittle! First, let me express our excitement to have you join the VZW family! I'm sure you're going to love your new phone and service.
The best way to pre-order your iPhone 5, is with the request to port-in your numbers from your current carrier. Here is the link to start your pre-order: http://bit.ly/RRkIKx After every option, select "Next" (top of screen). After you select your device(s), plan(s), and accessories, you will be asked if you want a new number, or if you want to transfer current numbers. If you transfer number, you will be asked for the number you want to transfer, current account number, PIN or password, owner's name, number to be reached, and full address. (Therefore, you will need all that when ordering.) The numbers will be ported over once you receive the phones, and they are activated. Until then, they will not be disconnected from your current carrier.
I trust this information is helpful.
Thank you,

When will the next wave of pre-orders for the iPhone 5 be shipped
Dear Apple,
I sadly had to pre-order my new iPhone 5 through AT&T last Friday morning and was told I would get the phone today and then told it would be Oct 5th. I went into a store to see what I can do and although they have plenty in stock they told me nothing and then informed me it would be late October before it shipped. I know that this has nothing to do with you but since you have wonderful customer service and knowledgable peole can you please give me an accurate date on when the next wave of pre-orders will be shipped. Thank you so much. You guys are the best.You're not addressing Apple here, we're all users like yourself.
If you want to know when the next shipment will be, call your local store or whomever you ordered it from and ask them. -
How does Remote work with Apple TV?
How does Remote work with Apple TV?
1. Does Remote, "Play" the music that resides on your iPod Touch>Apple TV>Home Speakers.
OR
Does Remote "Control" the music that resides on Apple TV HD>Home Speakers.
(If so... say you have a iPod Touch that only holds 8GB's but your music collection on your Apple TV exceeds that amount.
Will Remote still "Control" the larger music collection on Apple TV or your computer?)
2. Will iPod Wifi work on a patio outside a home to control Apple TV inside the home?
thank you in advance, TomRemote is a way to control iTunes on either your computer or Apple TV using a WiFi connection. See this article for complete instructions.

I have a Powerbook G4 (don't laugh) with iPhoto '08. How does iCloud work with my computer. I have a iPhone 4 that has iCloud. Is iCloud pushing my phone's PhotoStream to my computer if it doesn't have the latest OS? Thanks so much for whoever can help!
iCloud will not work with your computer because iCloud requires Lion. Lion requires an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better. For you to have iCloud and PhotoStream you would need to buy a newer Mac Intel model meeting the requirements for Lion:
Lion System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -
How does lion work with logic 9.1.4?
how does lion work with logic 9.1.4?
Greetings,
So far, everything seems as stable as before. Which doesn't actually mean its rock solid, but otherwise workable. I'm running a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24DSP with beta audio drivers. So far, everything is running well. I decided to jump into the 64bit work environment with Logic. I have yet to encounter huge problems with the 32bit audio bridge. Just making sure I bounce everything that is 32bit.
As for everything else within Logic, I can't say I hate Lion. Matter of fact, Lion seems buggier than Logic at the moment. Logic handles well in Lion, but Lion on its own overall is a different can of worms. I am mixed about a 10.7.1 update. Usually, it fixes something on the OS, but breaks something else in Logic.
I have faith that Lion will turn out to be as solid as Snow Leopard. SL was my favorite OSX so far. Lion still leaves allot to be desired in terms of stability.
Again, answer to your question: for me, Logic and Lion play nice.............for now.

How does QoS work with WAAS WCCP? What's the interaction between Router QoS Traffic Classification and WAE Traffic Application Policy?
By default, WAAS preserves the DSCP marking on intercepted packets. There is a configuration option to set/override the DSCP value at the global (device), application, and classifier levels. Currently WAAS provides marking only. There is no action taken by WAAS based on the DSCP value.

Why is it that everything is fine with my verizon account and apple is messing with my pre order of the iphone 5 telling me that verizon is "rejecting" my order.. My verizon account is fine, and I am eligible for an upgrade, there is no past due balance.. the order went from being prepared to ship back to processing 2 days before it's supposed to get here.. still says it's going to deliver 9/21, yet it still stuck in processing mode, called apple for the past couple of days since i ordered it ON TIME and basically spoke to 17 different people telling me all different things and seems as if it just becomes more and more of a problem..
this what most people say, track in on UPS website using your phone number. its TRUE and better tracking info

EPrint does not work with Google Apps for Business (hosted email)
I have looked up numerous posts, from back into 2011 even, and HP still has not resolved this.
HP's ePrint does not work with companies using Google Apps for Business (hosted email).
Our emails come from our domain, but from the servers/DNS of Google, so we wind up getting
the "550 5.7.1 Command Rehected" error.
This is a major issue as more and more companies (especially small business owners) are moving away
from having in-house/Exchange servers, and they are moving toward hosted systems.
You really need to find a way to stop rejecting emails coming from Google Apps hosted email.
It's been around 4 years now (looking at previous posts). Why hasn't HP found a resolution to this yet?I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP.
They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number.
Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact.
Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post serial numbers and case details.

How does GPS work with Google Maps?
So far I always use GPS with Google Maps and do not understand other usage. I find it is very useful for some places where I do not know exactly where it is. I do not really know how it is working. I learnt that the built-in GPS receiver must be working in an opening field - seeing the sky. I find it works in shopping malls, offices, cars, etc. where they cannot see the sky. I got the answers from my friends that A-GPS, cellular network and internet are replaced with GPS to provide the location or search your target if the location cannot see sky. It sounds the GPS is not much useful as more than 50% of actual usage without seeing the sky. Can someone shed some light on to me how my iPhone 4 is working with Google Maps in real life.
It starts by getting a quick rough estimation of your location using nearby cell towers or WiFi hotspots (if WiFi is on). Then it gradually pinpoints your location to a greater degree of accuracy as the various GPS satellites register your location.
Obviously, no GPS system can work if the device cannot "see" the satellites well. That's governed by the laws of physics, which is why the iPhone also uses cell towers and WiFi hotspots to assist. -
Outlook contacts how many will work with out slowing down the search
My new iphone will slow down or freeze when I look up a contach.
I have 8000 contacts, too many for the iphone to work?Hello ofrills
The Samsung Rugby II unfortunately doesn't work on our network. It is set up to work only on AT&T's technology. The good news is we have several durable phones available. You can purchase a Verizon device and activate it on your line without a contract.
Here's an example: if your friend had a Verizon device that wasn't activated on a line. You could activate it under your telephone number without a contract extension. If you bought a Verizon device from a third party we could also activate it on your line for you.
Here's a link to our certified pre own device without a 2 year contract: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewAllPhones&deviceCategoryId=5
Please keep in mind signing a two year contract with us will greatly reduce the price of your new device. That time goes by very quickly. We have the best network and an awesome selection of phones!
Thank you

Questions About Pre-Ordering/Reserving the iPhone 4?
I know on June 15th you can pre-order/reserving an iPhone 4. I am a bit unfamiliar with the pre-ordering process.
If you can pre-order and pick it up in the stores, does that only mean it guarantees you one on launch day? Also on launch date will there be a separate lines for pre-orders and non-preorders? (So pre-orders go in the store first?)
And if you reserve the iPhone 4 in store pick-up, do you have to pay the whole thing, or just put a certain amount down?
I doubt if anyone knows this question.
What time do Apple Stores open when the new iPhone 4 comes out? I bought my iPhone 3GS last year at launch at AT&T and they opened at around 7 I think, which I read is the same this year.
I'd rather deal with Apple. Do they open around 7 A.M to too?rather not deal with the crazies and people, id order online and get it shipped to my front door. check with your local Apple store for business hours. i remember att opening a little earlier on launch day for the 3GS, idk about Apple though? id asume both will run it alot smoother for everyone.

Is the app scramble with friends only for the I phone? I installed it to my new iPad and it kept freezing up. I uninstalled it and then installed it again, same thing happens.
it seems to be crashing for everyone - not only iPad's, but on my iPod Touch 4G, and my brother's brand new iPhone.... Zynga doesn't have any answers either. They are useless. The only thing that helped temporarily is when I deleted it from my iPod and reinstalled it.

How do i convert my imovie trailer for the iphone 4 to other file formats?
I'm due to make a comical presentation in 2 days, and i downloaded iMovie for the iphone 4, and would like to use the trailers created as part of the presentation.
I'm on windows xp, and have sent the file to itunes, gone into the file sharing part, added it, saved it, and even synched the flipping thing and yet it wont even play in itunes??? thats driving me mad as it is??
Not really bothered about that....My real main concern is wanting to play the movie file in an AVI/MOV/MP4 etc format, and have even downloaded various video conversion packages to try an convert and playback my results, but once again, and a few hours wasted, I find myself facing another brick wall.
Is it even possible to playback the imovie trailers created in a more generic video format for others to see??
I really do hope so!!!!
If not, then apple, i want my £2.99 (about $5.50) back, coz that would be as pointless as a paper ashtray.
I hope ive not had my pants pulled down and wasted my money an time on this.
Please someone help me, or put me out of my misery.Actually, scrap that one girls. Ive figured it out. For those who have a similar prob, just make sure you have quicktime installed. plug ur iphone into ur pc as normal, and choose the camera an scanner options that appears auto on ur window. select the trailer u wish after the usual wizard talk through and then "ok" or "apply" or whatever the button is called. select your destination folder, and walaa. its all done, and converted into .MOV format.
NOTE: When saving ur trailer on ur phone, and it asks what file size, chose the Medium one, or it takes ages to open.....unless ur comp is super fast, and not like my craptop. -
How does it work with an iPad?
Thinking about buying an Airport for my iPad to boost the wifi signal any know how the Airport works with an iPad?
An Airport will not boost a WiFi signal. Period.
An Airport can be configured to extend (repeat) a WiFi signal generated by another Airport. This is done to extend the distance of the WiFi system but it does cause a loss of throughput (because of overhead).
I wanted to get a WiFi signal out to my back porch. I turned off the radio on my existing router (Westell) and purchased TWO Airport Express units. One replaced the Westell radio and the other functions as an extender. Works like a champ.
