I activated a phone 5days ago online. I want to switch back (dif sim size) via the same method. It won't let me
How long before I can switch back to my old device via the online method using the online text code for cofirmation? It's been 5 days already and my new phone is bugging me. I don't have a sim adapter and would prefer not to use one as I've read they can potentially damage sim readers.
Is there another DIY method I can use from home?
We want to see you using the phone you want, jamesmr. You can switch phones online anytime after the SIM has been deactive for 24 hours using the steps at http://vz.to/1w2sxI9.

I am trying to restore my phone, however it says that the iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. I have tried again a few times but still the same. Any suggestions?
Was your phone ever locked to a different phone carrier than the one your on now?
If so how was your phone unlocked?
Very rarely is the server unavailable.
Is your phone jailbroken or was your computer used to jailbreak a device? -
When my husband set up his new iPhone I read a message wrong when it popped up on my phone and now our messaging is synced. Is it because we have the same apple ID? Do we need to change that?
Yes, its best to have each individual apple ids. You can also go to settings, messages, send and recieve, start new conversation from, make sure there is a check mark beside each of your own individual email, not the same one on each phone.

Hi All,
Regarding iPhone 5, at the latest model, if I bought an unlocked one from UK Apple Store, iPhone 5 GSM A1429, then I tried to use CDMA SIM card inside the same phone, does it'll work and provide me signals or not. ??
Thanks for your answering.The answer is complicated. None of the major carriers offer PAYG service in the US, but if you buy a contract-free phone for full price you can get a plan that can be canceled at any time from any of the major carriers (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile). There are smaller resellers that offer PAYG service (StraightTalk, for example), but they are hard to deal with.
The most liberal is the GSM carrier T-Mobile. They have "unbundled" the phone from the service, so if you bring your own phone or pay full price for a phone the monthly cost will be lower.
The other 3 will charge you the same monthly cost whether you pay full price for the phone or get a subsidized phone.
Verizon iPhone 5 series phones are unlocked out of the box for international use (thanks to a condition the FCC imposed on Verizon when they were allowed to buy a substantial chunk of spectrum). They are the only phones sold in the US that will work on LTE bands in the UK and Europe.
Sprint is not a good choice, because they give you a hard time if you want to unlock your phone.
AT&T phones are locked, but they will unlock the phone if you pay full price or pay off your early termination fee. However, they will only work on GSM in the UK, not on LTE (4G). -
A 6 and a 6 Plus with seperate phone numbers are receiving txts sent to only one number. They share the same iTunes acct. Is this the problem?
Hmm... Just found out the 6 and 6 Plus were updated to 8.1.1 today. Coincidently, that's when this started.
Another thing is both phones ring and you can answer either one, or both. fwding is not selected.
Thanks Kilted Tim. -
I forgot my passcode, so I was unable to access my phone. I then tried to restore it, but it has frozen during the process. It won't connect to my mac again and I can't stop the process because my lock button is broken. What do I do?
My first advice is "Back up the device, then have it replaced." Second item of advice, "Don't forget your passcode."
One of the purposes of the lock button is to recover from certain software failures. Without the lock button, such a recovery is nearly impossible. My advice would have served you best when the malfuction first developed, not after you forgot your passcode. -
Broken LG G2 phone not covered by Assurion want to switch to another phone
My LG G2 broke about a week ago (I dropped it and cracked the screen). Assurion won't cover it and so I'd like to buy another phone. Can I still put it under my Verizon account?
It doesn't sound right to me either. I'd had the phone almost two weeks when I dropped it. Assurion replied that I had not paid enough of the insurance to legitimate covering the phone.

Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
This is a long-time problem. I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
"The server returned the error: The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …

Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

I have two iPhones. How do I have two seperate apple ID's on one computer without them syncing.
You can either do as sberman suggested - create separate User logons on the computer
or
You can make sure that you are syncing Contacts, Calendars, and Mail via the individual iCloud accounts.
Then, for Apps, Music, Movies, Books, Photos, etc. you would set up each individual iPhone's options to only sync what you want to have loaded to each of the phones from the iTunes and Photo libraries. You do this by setting up the individual Device Profile pages to have only what is selected for that particular device. When you hook the device up via a USB cord, you will see the device Profile pages to the right of the sidebar. Select each Profile page and set it up as desired for the particular device.
Also, turn off Automatic downloads in Settings>iTunes & Apps Store>Automatic Downloads on each device.

My iPhone 4 is having issues w/the home button. It doesn't work at all and I have to shut the phone own completely each time I want to toggle back and Roth ou of different apps, to us the phone, take pics., etc. Is there a fix for this issue or will I need a new phone?
Open any default IOS application ( like calculator, weather, stocks etc) on the iPhone
Press and hold the Power button till the ‘Slide to Shutdown’ screen appears.
Now release the Power button and gently hold the Home button.
Try this a couple of times if it doesnt work first time. -
I've had my iphone 5s since Oct. Since I've had it, it will go through these periods where the data just slows to a crawl. So slow that I can't even access the App store until I get back around wi-fi. And this is in areas that I am recieving full signal and it's indicating that I have access to 4G. My wife has the same company, but has an iphone 5 and has not been having this problem. I called the phone comany and they advised me that it's likely a hardware issue. Has anyone had a similar problem with the 5s? If so, what can I do?
As silly as it may seem, I have had success simply turning my phone completely off and then back on again. I was using an iPhone 5 on Sprint and would run into this issue a couple of times a month. I would see the data indicator on my phone switching from 3G to 1x and back again several times over a few minutes while just sitting still. This would happen regardless of whether or not I had a full strength signal or not. (Remeber that if your signal strength is below 2 bars,dots,etc, you will not get great data speeds).
Try rebooting the phone. If this does not help, pay close attention to the signal strength meter at the top of the phone. If you and your wife are on the same carrier and it turns out you get different signal strengths while standing in the same location, you may have a problem with your phones antenna.
If these suggestions do not help, post back to the discussion. -
I have firefox 5 on my laptop.
I dont have any problem with that, but I need to take an online exam and the software I am going to use does not support Firefox5, only 4.
The question is can I install firefox4 on the same laptop? Where can I find a copy?Hi arpriltime,

Hopefully this helps! -

Apple's policy on sales of digital content is that all sales are final. If however you wish to appeal to Apple, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will need to click the large ‘Report A Problem’ button under the list of previous purchases in order to reveal the ‘Report A Problem’ link for your recent purchase. If your purchase is listed as a previous purchase use the small arrow on the left side of its listing.
Alternatively you can use the receipt email to report a problem. -
How do go back to IOS 7.x.x on my iPhone 4s from IOS 8. IOS 8 has slowed down my iPhone considerably and want to go back to older version.
I downloaded the iOS 8 update for my 4s and my phone has slowed to a point where it is too frustrating to use. I am in the market for a new phone and was considering upgrading to the iPhone 6 because I have really enjoyed my 4s over the years. Between the facebook updates (slowed the app to an unusable state), iOS 8 (made my phone even slower and killed the battery), and what apple did with the new U2 album I have decided to go with an Android phone.

I have had my iphone 5 stolen/have lost my iphone 5. I haven't backed it up for a while (2 months?!) and I am not sure that I actually set up Photostream however it's always been on there from what I can tell (icon is there). Is there anyway of getting back contacts/messages/photos/anything from the phone onto my new replacement phone if it hadn't been backed up recently? I've got everything up until the last backup - contacts and messages aren't such an issue for me but the photos mean a lot!!!
If you are logged in to icloud with your same Apple ID. Go to setting on your phone>Photos & Camera and turn ON my Photo Stream.
