HT201407 How do I activate my iphone 4 phone number?  My  old iPhone broke and want to activate this new one with the same number

Long story:  My son broke his iphone 4 screen through repeated droppings.  But my wife upgraded from her iphone 4 to the 5, and wants to give said son her unblemished 4.  He has saved to icloud and we have deleted all the content and restored settings on wife's iphone 4.  So on the unbroken iphone 4 all of the son's contents, contacts, app, etc., are there, but how do I activate the phone with his number? so he can receive calls/ texts?

Insert the active SIM card for that phone number and connect the iphone to itunes.

    To check if you have a virus, you can download ClamXav
    also, go to Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor and see if there's anything that you don't recognize, and check your sent email to see if you've been sending emails without your knowledge.

  • I forgot my digital signature password. How do I create a new one with the same email.

    I can not remember my digital signature password. I've attempted to create a new one with the same email address. The message I receive is that i already have a digital signature with that email. I would like to use the same email address.

    You probably mean that you forgot your digital certificate password and I presume that this is a self-signed certificate that you yourself created, not a certificate that you received from a Certificate Authority (CA). If this is true then you can create a new self-signed digital certificate (Digital ID in Acrobat-speak) the same way you created the first one: In Acrobat XI it is Edit->Preferences->Signatures->Identities&Trusted Certificates->More. Then click on "Add ID" button and follow the prompts. You can create as many self-signed certificates with the same credentials (name, email, etc.) as you wish. You'd have to figure out how to distinguish them, though.

    Sorry for my poor english vocabulary. I'll do my best to explain.
    I just cleared my computer (Macbook Pro 2011) and wanted to reinstall the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard Student ans Teacher Edition (Mac, English) that I bought (near october, november 2011) but my adobe account was no longer activated.

    Is the new carrier you're using an official iPhone carrier? Apple warns that not all features of an iPhone will be available when using an iPhone with a non-supported carrier.
    Who is your new carrier?

    Sign in to iTunes Store (on desktop itunes) with your ID. Plug your iphone to itunes, right click on it and choose transfer purchases.Right click again and choose backup. Then you can sync with iTunes.

    Your conversations will not deleted if you sync with your iTunes.
    What is the problem with iCloud? iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes syncing.

  • For some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store.

    for some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store. my old iphone 4s audio jack was messed up but i just got a new one with my warranty , can anyone help me please.

    It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
    Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

  • How can you remove old conversations from the iMac. Even when I remove them they return when I start a new conversation with the same person. Only happens on iMac with the Beta iMessage program

    Hi,
    Previously iChat had tried a Last Chat/IM option when using Saved Transcripts - which itself was an option.
    iChat has also tried "Saving" the Last Chat by leaving a Chat window open and using something similar to the Lion method of showing an app in the state is was closed in.
    In Messages the option to Save Transcripts has been removed and Chats or all types are saved as a matter of course.
    What this tends to mean for your iChat style Buddy Chats is that it opens all the Transcripts  for that buddy as a sort of History you can scroll back through if you want  (I have  some Buddies with saved chats gong back to 2004)
    With the Syncing of iMessages with iPhones and iPads (or Touches) then it seems this works slightly differently.
    Although you can delete the chat and the contents of the Chat as separate action it is true that in the Beta as soon as you connect to the same Contact that the contents of the previous chats are shown to you.
    I have found that Messages stores a data base of info on iMessages in Your Home Folder/Library/Messages
    I have found that deleting this chat-db removes the "History" that keep popping up.
    By default the Saved "iChats" are also stored in the Home Folder/Documents/iChats (At least this is the default place iChat used and they go to the same iChats folder where ever you had it)
    Some people claim removing iMessages saved here stops the "History" reappearing.
    In Lion the only access to the Home Folder/Library is via the Finder's Go Menu and hiding down the ALT key

  • How to open a new tab with the same current directory in a terminal?

    I use the following script to open a new terminal with the same pwd.
    I'm wondering how to modify it to open a new tab with the same pwd.
    #!/bin/sh
    # Open a new terminal in the cwd
    CWD=`pwd`
    osascript<<END
    set thePath to "$CWD"
    set myPath to (POSIX file thePath as alias)
    try
    tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    do script with command "cd \"" & thePath & "\""
    end tell
    end try
    END

    bit of a hack, but the make command doesn't seem to work for tabs in terminal. replace what's currently in the 'try' block with this code:
    tell application "Terminal" to activate
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Terminal"
    keystroke "t" using command down
    end tell
    end tell
    tell application "Terminal"
    do script "cd " & (quoted form of thePath) in last tab of window 1

  • I changed email address and had to delete my account and create a new one with the new email address. When I did this i lost all of the information in my calendar. How can I recover this vital information?

    My email address changed and I had to delete my account and create a new one with the new address. After I did this all of the data in my iPhone calendar is gone. How can I recover this vital data?

    It is my understanding that if you delete the account per the instructions below, you will be able recreate, but you will NOT have access to the prior BBM contacts.
    Read this for full information and suggestions to regain access to your BBID >> http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-World/How-to-regain-access-to-your-BBID/td-p/25467...
    You have to remember either the BlackBerryID password, or the secret question answer. Without either, you're stuck.
    Your choices are:
    --Use another email account to create an entirely new BlackBerryID (with which you will lose access to any purchased apps using the "forgotten" first BlackBerryID, or
    --Find the initial email you were sent to confirm the initial BlackBerryID, and in it is a link to click to cancel and delete the account. Click on that, delete the account and then you can use that same email to create an entirely new account.
    Good luck.

  • I currently have aT-Mobile sim, and therefore, a UK telephone number. Can I get a sim from EE with the same number to use in my iphone 5?

    I currently have aT-Mobile sim, and therefore, a UK telephone number. Can I get a sim from EE with the same number to use in my iphone 5?

    The easiest way to find out what carrier it's locked to would be to call the store where you purchased the phone.
    The phone can be unlocked from any location.  However, most carrier have restrictions about unlocking and you have to contact them for details.

  • Can I have 2 iPhones with the same number??

    Can I have 2 iPhones with the same number??
    I have a fairly new 5S iPhone. I would like to add a "iPhone 6" when available. Can I get it WITH THE SAME PHONE # ?

    Dual NAM is a different animal - that means having tow phone numbers on the same phone.  That's not allowed any longer, true.
    The OP is asking about having the same number on two devices - and Elector gave a solution.  Just move the SIM from phone to phone, depending on which one you want to use at any given time.  You cannot use the same number on two devices simultaneously.
