    The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.

  • I have new 2T iomega external HD (Mac Companion) - my Mac (2.8 GHz i7 - Lion OS) will not recognize HD if hooked up with Firewire, but it does recognize if hooked up via USB - how can I get it to recognize with Firewire?

    Try a different FW800 cable and also try doing a SMC reset. If neither work try another FW800 device to see if it's recognized, if it is then  you know it's not the Mac it's probably the EHD.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • I need to move my old hard drive files to our new computer, how?

    Hey I need to move my old hard drive files to our new computer. It is a SATA 3.5. Is it as simple as putting it in an enclosure and plugging it to new computer.
    Can I do this at the start with the IMAC? I don't have the old computer, just the drive.

  • With the new io5 on safari how do you get back to top of the page quickly

    With the new io5 on safari how do you get back to top of the page quickly?

    Same way as before - click on the top. But the area to click seems to be slightly lower ... aim for the touch of the grey and black instead of the black.

    This reads backwards, It is the other way as "Norton update is compatible with Firefox 9".

    Just had to ask, do you know the difference between hard drive and CD/DVD drive?  Don't get angry, read this.
    You said " I know the old drive .......... is working as i can put discs in and they load up.When i click on the old drive-F drive- in file explorer 'Please insert disc' message pops up.'
    All that implies a CD/DVD drive. You can not put a disc into a hard drive.

  • How do I get my entire library onto one playlist

    I am new to this and have not been able to get my entire library onto the playlist.  How do I do that?

    There is a Music playlist that has all your music. You can create a smart playlist with the rule Playlist is Music but that seems somewhat redundant. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

  • HT2589 We had an account that was housed on our old computer but it didn't make it onto the new one...how can I get the account balance and start using it?

    We had an account that was housed on our old computer but it didn't make it to the  new one.  How can we find the balance and start using it again?

    iTunes accounts are not located on your computer.  They are simply tied to a specific AppleID.  Just log in to iTunes with the correct AppleID and Password and you will be back in that account.

  • I have authorized a new computer, and itunes is not registering recent purchases. How do I get my entire library back on this new computer without having to re-buy them all?

    I have just gotten a new computer which runs windows.
    I have authorized this computer with itunes...
    But the library and playlists I had on the first computer are not showing up on this one, and when I log into the itunes store, it is not showing any of my recent purchases (like one I bought as soon as last night.)
    How do I get these songs/playlists back, or do I have to actually re-buy all these songs?

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

  • I cannot access the external hard drive connected to my time capsule via wifi

    I have two external hard drives (a WD mybook and an older Seagate, both HFS+ formatted) connected via a USB hub to my time capsule (which is also my wifi router).
    Here's the funny thing: If I a connect my mac mini to the time capsule via an ethernet cable, both disks show up as normal in Finder - along with 'Data' under Time Capsule under Shared.
    But if I disconnect the ethernet cable and connect to the router via wifi, there's no sign at all of the two disks - not in Finder, and not under 'Disks' in the Airport Utility.
    Anyone out there with a solution?!

    Hi William, and thanks for replying.
    I do have a guest network set up (for exactly that reason that guests don't get access to shared disks) but am definitely not connected to it.
    So sadly it has to be something else.

  • Time Machine with 2T drive connected to Airport Extreme base via USB

    I got this to work - Time machine recognizing the drive in its "choose backup disk" menu.
    I used it to store Apple Lossless audio on a big iTunes library, as well as for my Time Machine backups.
    Whole system ran fine for 4 months until last week: while I was using iTunes with that remote library, adding audio to it... "Airport has detected a disk error"... My 2TB of disk turned into a very expensive brick.
    The disk had to be recovered with Disk Warrior, detecting "19,753 directory entries with incorrect text encoding value" as part of a nice one-page-long list of other errors.
    SINCE THEN: no matter what I do, the disk does not show up in Time Machine, even though I can access it via the network exactly as before.
    Any ideas are welcome!

    Apple does not support Time Machine backups to an AirPort disk (a USB drive attached to an AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS)). (ref: Mac OS X 10.5: Time Machine doesn't back up to AirPort Extreme AirPort Disks) Although folks, like yourself, have gotten this to work initially, the long-term stability of the TM backups is highly suspect and why Apple doesn't support it. Sorry!
