I am looking to switch from ATT to Verizon on iPhone 5 but have Questions ???

Ok at this point I can read a ton of stuff on here about the differences in signal performance in different areas and things like that but. I am Also curius about functionality. I am constantly on my phone and using apps on it at the same time. besides that is there any other maybe quirky but maybe not differences between the 2 ? does anyone have any information that would possibly change my mind to stay on ATT or is it a go. The reason I ask is i get a new discount through Verizon and would like to save the money.

Besides the problems that you cite is your iPhone 5 locked to AT&T?

Which password?
If you mean the passcode to your iPhone, here's the solution:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you mean the encryption password to your backup on your computer:
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

I think it was a bad idea switching from ATT to Verizon

So we have been a Verizon customer for 6 days. I started looking into the online billing for my account.
Right off the bat we owe $259.47 without doing anything.
So I look into the billing details. OK so they prorate some expected usage...whatever.
It's the equipment charges that concern me, A LOT, with this "Edge" program.
It's simple math.
We purchased three phones, but I will focus on one of the Samsung Galaxy 5s devices for sake of discussion.
The price tag at Best Buy said $299 with new plan activation. Great. Let's just say $300 to make the math easy. Again, just to note we were switching from being LONG TIME AT&T customers to Verizon for the first time.
I digress. When I look at the equipment charges, the Edge balance (six days in mind you) is $569.81. Simple math tells me that $300 does not equal $569.81. So I'm paying way more over the span of 20 months than what the phone was actually priced for at the store. Better yet, the first installment of the 20 installments is $30.81. So let's see $30.81 x 20 = $616.20. So I will be paying DOUBLE over the span of 20 months over what the device is actually worth.
WHY?
I have this problem x 3 phones.
Would have been cheaper to just buy the phones for $299 and not done the Edge plan. This isn't much of a deal at all.
Looks like we need to cancel and go back to AT&T ASAP. This edge program is a huge ripoff.

The prices at Best Buy are not honored at Verizon Wireless.
The Edge Program takes the full price of the devices not any discounted prices.
That would be why you are seeing what you are seeing on your online account details.
Add in taxes and administrative fees per line, insurance if you have it, prorated service and the month in advance makes your invoice higher on the first invoice.
After that you pay the price of your plan plus taxes and fees and that $30.81 per device.

Good Luck

Hi adamsfly,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you changed your email address and iCloud is looking to sign in with the old Apple ID email. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

I switched from an android to an iPhone 4. Is that why my bill went up $10 a month?

Hmm. Switching from one smartphone to another should not change the access charges. I would need to review these charges so that I can better assist. I just sent you a follow request. Please follow back and send me a private message with this information so that I can take a closer look.
Thank you,

Switched from Brighthouse to Verizon

Hi, I just switched from Brighthouse to Verizon & my computer is online but my husband's isn't. Verizon said I needed to change the ESSID # but can't figure out how to do that. I think we are connected by wireless but aren't positive. We are using WRT54 GS-7.0. It's a wireless router. My husband's linksys says it is connected but can't find an internet connection. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Hope I made sense. Thank You.

Actually it was something really simple. Just had to wind up hooking the cable up to his computer, couldn't be wireless no more. Verizon & Linksys made it sound so complicated telling me that we could try this or try that but there was a 50% chance he would never be able to have internet capability again if it didn't work. Didn't want to take that chance so decided to ask this forum. Thanks for your suggestion, didn't really understand what you meant so we just played around with it & finally got it. Thanks again for trying to help. Laurel

I am trying to sync my music from my computer to my iphone 6 but my computer keeps bringing up an error box "computer not authorized" but it is authorized. Please help!

I have a pc and am trying to get my music through my iTunes on my computer. I didn't have any trouble syncing my iphone 5S but can't get it to sync with my 6. OS 8.1.3
I open iTunes on my pc, plug in my phone, then I click on the picture of a phone on the upper left hand corner of my music library. Then I get a box of options with sync at the lower right. I have clicked "automatically sync when phone is plugged in" and have also tried to do it manually by checking specific songs and albums. Every time I hit sync the box pops up that says, "The iPhone could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone. To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store choose Store>Authorize This Computer."
I took those steps and a box pops up that says "this computer is already authorized."
I have my recently purchased music on my phone that came through the cloud when I restored my phone. But I want my old music from CD's that I put on my iTunes library in my computer. I had all of this music on my old phone.
Thank you so much for your time! I'm obviously not very good at this!

" I ordered the Snow Leopard software and tried installing it, but it stopped and said to clean the disk."
First off, your installation disc is in all likelihood faulty.
This has been a known issue in the past:

Switching iPhone 4s from ATT to Verizon in Santa Fe, NM

Hi All,
From the subject line: I am currently living in Washington DC and ATT service is reasonably good. In Santa Fe, NM where I am moving, ATT has awful service and Verizon has a much better reputation. I am considering switching upon my move. What are the significant differences between ATT and Verizon on the iPhone? I understand that data network access and phone calls cannot happen simultaneously. Not a situation I usually encounter. Are there any other significant differences that I should know about?
Thanks.....

At some point will I be asked to set up the phone as a Verizon device (I am porting my number from AT&T)? Or does iTunes/Apple read the serial number of my phone and "know" it is a Verizon unit tied to my specific number? How exactly does this step work?
The phone will come with activation instructions. The activation servers will "know" what carrier the phone belongs to. You will probably have to call an 800 number to finish accepting the contract.
Did you specify in the ordering process that you wanted to port over your AT&T number? If yes, the phone will be activated with your number. The port process usually takes about 5-30 minutes. During that time, you can make outgoing calls from either phone but only your AT&T phone will ring. Once the port process is complete, you'll get a text on your Verizon phone. At that point, the AT&T phone will no longer be connected to your number.
If you didn't request the port, you'll need to call customer service.
Yes, you MUST leave your AT&T account active until the port process is complete or you will lose your number.
Best of luck.

Switched from AOL to Verizon Yahoo DSL

I have switched my internet access from AOL to Verizon Yahoo. I now can not see my i-Tunes songs on the music store when I browse for music.

Did you see the notice on the main Music Support page that state v4.9 iTunes or above is required?
If you have current iTunes software, call Verizon Yahoo and ask how to set your connection up to allow iTunes.

Switching from PC to Mac - Need to ask several compatibility questions

Hello. I'm about to buy a new iMac, with the whole hunky dory '^_^, especially graphics. The thing is, I don't really care about Windows-only software as I can buy VMware or similar, but my question is, I have a complete collection of The Sims 2 (and The Sims 1, from some time ago.), intended for Windows. As I know trans-machine applications via virtual machine software can be VERY buggy, especially when using high-end graphics. Will I have to keep my old big PC to run it properly, or will I be able to run The Sims 2 and similar graphics-using games on a new iMac with virtual machine software?
And don't suggest me to re-buy it Mac-edition, hehe. Still saving for the iMac itself! '^_^. (I'm a teen from Israel, what did ya expect? )
-Smiles.

How fast Windows runs in a virtual machine depends primarily on the system power. If you want to use a VM exclusively for games sans Boot Camp you should go for as much processing power and memory as you can afford. I have Windows Vista installed in Boot Camp and I also have a Parallels virtual machine set up to run the Boot Camp installation from within OS X. Parallels doesn't currently support Direct X in Vista, however, but it does in Windows XP. Parallels also has a migration tool that will allow you to migrate an existing Windows installation from a PC into a Parallels virtual machine on a Mac.
