  • How to find what carrier my iPhone 4 is with (if stuck at the welcome screen), and can I activate a it with a borrowed SIM card.

    OK. My friend had bought an iPhone 4 online, second hand. He does not have the SIM card. He had recently changed his passcode and FORGOT IT, and we had to restore it. The problem is that, after we restored, it askes for the SIM activation. And none of us have a MICRO SIM Card. So my question is how can I find out what carrier the iPhone is with if it is stuck on the welcome screen and if I can borrow someone elses SIM card to activate the phone so he can use it.
    (we could not contact the person he bought the iPhone from to find out what carrier it is with.)

    Go to the apple store and they will figure out what sim card it is.

  • Laptop HP DV6-2088dx - what kind of dock station will work with it?

    what kind of dock station will work with it?

    Hi John,
    Please find answer below
    1 -- What are the specs of a laptop that can handle CS 6?
    It depends on the application you will use and install. Video apps like Premiere pro, After effects have higher requirement as compare to InDesign, Illustrator etc. Please review the tech specs for each application. This link will help with the details :System requirements | Adobe Creative Suite 6
    2 -- Can I sign up for Creative Cloud services for, say, a couple months and then suspend the service when I'm back to using my desktop? What's the pricing for that?
    Yes, you can, You can find the pricing details creative.adobe.com/plans
    3 -- Can I use Creative Cloud when I don't have access to Internet because internet service is sporadic or non-existent in northwoods?
    No, you can't. You need internet atleast once to activate the software.
    4 -- Can I easily transfer projects from CS 6 laptop to CS 5.5 on desktop?
    It depends on file format. File format like JPEG, PSD, TIFF etc are universal and shall work perfectly fine between CS6 and CS5.5 however format like INDD will be a concern as InDesign file saved in newer version could not be opened in older version directly.
    5 --  Alternatively, can I simply install my existing CS 5.5 in a new laptop?
    Yes, you can.
    Hope this helps

    what earlier version of FCP will work with the intel-3 processor?

    The version of the CR designer that the reports were created in is really not that important. Though more on that below. What you need is Crystal Reports XI R2A (11.5.x). That is the last version of CR to ship the Report Designer Component  (RDC) that you are presumably using at this time. Note that this version is out of support thus no fixes, no phone support, though we welcome your queries on these forums. To obtain CR XI R2A you will have to contact sales; 866-681-3435. Do not get CR 2008 (12.x) as this version does not ship the RDC and only has the SDK for .NET and Java.
    Re. version of the reports. While the version of the designer the reports were created in should not be that important, the older the designer, the more potential problems you may run into. Updating the reports to CR XI R2A is highly advised. You can do this manually by simply opening the reports in the designer and saving them - making sure they still run once that is done. Alternatively, you can do this in code by simply using the .SaveAs method, or exporting to rpt file format. This may not however update the database connectivity correctly (the database engine was completely rewritten in CR 9) and testing will be needed to make sure these reports still work. This is particularly true of your version 8 reports. Version 9 reports and later should be OK.

  • What other hp print drivers will work with the officejet pro 8600

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600 and like many others here, I am having a problem printing a custom size envelope (6x9). I did find that I can use the drivers for a deskjet 450 and setup  my 8600 using those drivers. However, the 450 6x9 does not have a portait option in the layout.
    My question is, what other hp print drivers will work in the 8600? I'm hoping one will have a 6x9 portrait layout?

    Hello wingcheck,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're receiving a problem printing a custom envelope size (6x9). You did state that you installed a Deskjet 450, but it doesn't come with a portrait option. I will do my best to assist you!
    First,  I need to find out your operating system on your computer? Windows or Mac?
    If you have a Windows computer and using this Deskjet 450 driver, have you checked Devices and Printers on your computer to see if you have this portrait option:
    1) Right click on the Deskjet 450, then click on Printer Preferences
    2) Very top you should see a tab called "Finishing" and look for Orientation
    3) You should see portrait, landscape, rotate by 180 degrees or mirror image.
    4) Let me know if you don't have this option on this post
    If not, then I would recommend installing a Deskjet 9800 to see if you have this option. Please follow this HP document on Installing an Alternate Print Driver in Windows 7 for a USB Cable Connection. When setting up this custom size, change the paper type to "Other Specialty Media". Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!
    Hi Cheetah .... I don't have access to my printer at the moment due to travel, but here's what I have right now. My operating system is Windows 7 64. That's not much, but it is a start. I will have the additional information for you in a day or so. Something else I discovered in the user guide, which I didn't know, is that each tray will only handle specific media. So, when I print envelopes, I will have to use Tray 1 in order to do so. 
    Now I do have another question for you. Can I have installed, 2 different sets of print drivers at the same time without it causing a conflict? I'm assuming the diffenent driver will simply show up as a different printer in the listed printers, right?? Any way, thanks for your quick response, and upon arriving home, I will follow your previous suggestions. I will also keep you posted as to my success or failure.
    Thanks

  • Trying to figure out what carriers my iPhone 5 is compatible with

    Hi everyone.
    I recently bought a new iPhone 5 (not 5c, not 5s, just 5). No SIM card. It was activated, as in I could access the home screen. I can no longer do this, as I was advised to restore it in order to unlock it, which did not work.
    I went to both MetroPCS and T Mobile and attempted to load their respective SIM cards. In both cases the phone gave the error message "SIM card is not valid" which as I understand means the phone is locked to some other carrier.
    Before I tried to restore the phone, I looked in the settings. I do not recall which row this information was under, but the text was "T Mobile 15.0". Clicking this led me to some 6 or 7 digit number, and clicking again led to an email, something something @ sprintpcs . com. I was under the impression that the phone was locked to T Mobile due to what I just mentioned, but clearly that was not the case since T Mobile SIM did not work.
    I called Apple and the first person I was directed to told me he could not provide me with any information about the status of the lock. I asked to be connected to a supervisor, and he told me that the phone is locked to Sprint.
    I am going to a Sprint store tomorrow to see what they can tell me, but I am confused about something.
    Sprint Nextel US runs CDMA iPhones, which as far as I know, do not use a SIM card. However, my iPhone has a SIM card slot. The back of the box tells me that the phone is compatible with CDMA bands 800/1900/2100MHz *and* GSM/Edge 850/900/1800/1900 *and* LTE 1/3/5/13/25.
    If I understand correctly, this means that if the phone were hypothetically unlocked, then it could be activated with any carrier, CDMA using such as Sprint, or with a SIM card from T Mobile, MetroPCS, AT&T, or some other. That is the the first question; if the phone was unlocked, could it be used with any carrier, GSM or CDMA, SIM card or no, with no problem? I have read in some places that a US CDMA phone only works with GSM *outside* of the US.
    Second question. If Sprint will not unlock the phone, can I get a contract with Virgin Mobile, as a wholly-owned Sprint subsidiary?
    Third question. The phone is still under what seems to be "hardware warranty". IMEI checkers confirm that it is under some kind of warranty until June 24, 2014. Does this warranty only cover hardware problems, so for example, if the lightning port was broken/blocked and I could not charge the phone? Or does it also mean I can return or replace the phone?
    All the info I have on the phone is listed below.
    iPhone 5 White 16GB
    US
    MD657LL/A
    Possibly locked to Sprint Nextel
    Possibly compatible with CDMA *and* GSM
    iOS 7 or above (not sure)
    Was activated at one point, is no longer activated
    TMobile, MetroPCS SIM cards *do not work*
    A1429

    I have the same problem i have iPhone 5s and is lock on Sprint and i update on 7.1.1 and not restore and when the update was complet then i go to settings and write on carrier T-mobile Mk and then i put sim card from tmobile the phone is still locked and then i restore the phone and now i`m stuck on activation screen i need to put sprint card...
    I`m from macedonia and i buy the phone from usa ... Sprint is only in usa i dont have sprint in Macedonia...

  • How can I find a list of printers that will work with my iBook version=2.2?

    I need to print out a book I wrote on my old iBook...got rid of my Epson Stylus 62 and can't find a list on the iBook that says what other printers it will take. I have access to an old Dell 922 and am wondering if that can be hooked up and used to get the book printed without having to go to get info recovered and pay a lot of money. Thanks for any help!

    Oldmac
    You should be able to connect  the Dell 922 (c.2004) to your iBook Jaguar(c.2002) - you may see the problem... finding a driver for the Dell922 may be a BIG obstacle as Jaguar pre-dates the Dell922 - thus, no built-in driver in the OSX  - it may be that some Dell driver will work but I would not bank on it.
    Alternatives:
    What is stopping you from connecting iBook to the Internet?
    What Mac or PC do you have now? Connect via network cabling? > transfer file (what Application?) > print ?
    put your file on a thumb drive and transfer it to another's computer - friend, FedExOffice Store, etc.
    Think outside the box...

    Hi Jen.  My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse.  Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too.  Now to the problem at hand.  I have the same problem.  I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade.  Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade.  But I'm sure other factors are involved.  Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem:  What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it.  Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade.  Hope this works.   Charlie

  • How do I get my old iPhone 4g to work with a new computer without losing all data on it?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro with Retna display to replace a dead gateway running Windows XP. My iPhone 4 was always connected to the old gateway and I synced to the iTunes on it. Now I have my new MacBook up and running and have logged into its new iTunes and synced my new iTunes to my Apple ID and to the apple store. Everything looks good in the new iTunes. Problem is now when I connect my old iPhone to the new computer it's iTunes warns of my iPhone data about to be erased. How can I prevent losing all my stuff. I don't want to lose all my text messages on the iPhone. What can I do to prevent losing everything from my phone?

    Ok thanks again for your reply, link to Apple article, and concern for my questions. That is very refreshing to have people willing to share their knowledge like you.
    So why do you suppose we get this awful warning when we connect our iPhone to a new computer that all data on the phone will be deleted if we continue? Furthermore why don't we get a further explanation as to what to do sat that point?
    I can not stand warnings like this that make me feel like I have done something wrong, that somehow I may be violating my terms of service. All that legalize is not customer friendly. Apple has always impressed my more that any company with excellent personal customer service but this is not good the way they scare you when you honestly are trying to move to a new computer with your old iPhone.
