I am moving from London to NYC for a year, will i be able to use my iPhone over there and insert a pay as you go sim?

I wondered if anyone can advise me on whether its possible to use my iPhone in NYC by getting a pay as you go sim in the US? Do companies offer pay as you go sims over there as i wont have a credit rating.
Thanks!

The only supported GSM carrier in the US is AT&T. They will not permit the use of pre-paid SIM cards in the iPhone.
You can sign up for monthly post paid service with them and use it just fine (assuming your existing phone is legitimately unlocked).
You can get pre-paid service with T-Mobile or any number of other regional GSM carriers, but not all features of the phone may work properly (or at all).

I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized. Help!

I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized.
I have searched high and low and there does not seem to be a way to authorize the iPod Classic. What can I do to sync my purchases to my iPod? I have tried reformatting/restoring it as suggested. It continues to only allow me to sync non-icloud/itunes content.
Help!

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

If I buy Microsoft office for MacBook pro will I be able to use diacritical marks for Welsh input? Welsh requires a circumflex sometimes on a,e,i,o,w and y, in addition to a diaeresis. An acute accents are not a problem as they occur in other languages.

I want to perform live, using a few stems as playback, and I want to put fx on my live vocals.

ProTools plugins only work in ProTools. The MBox should work fine with the CoreAudio drivers.

Hi I'm traveling from Canada to USA and I want to be able to use my iphone over wifi only, iMessage, and FaceTime etc. but I don't want to get charged. What do I do?

I was wondering what I need to change or turn off in my settings and where I could find those things. I just don't want to get charged for roaming fees when I will only be using my phone over wifi. Please help. Anything is appreciated!

Julibella,
I think you should try a quick experiment on your local wireless provider's network.
First turn off wifi (settings-wifi-toggle to off). Open safari and ensure a webpage will load. Then go to settings-general-cellular-and turn off cellular data. Attempt to reload the webpage, the webpage should not load. If that doesn't convince you attempt to use anything else that uses data (facebook app, email, etc) and they will all say you don't have a connection.
Also you could call your provider and I am certain they will give you similar instructions.

I am moving to the U.S. for a year, from the UK. Should I get an iPhone here (UK) or wait until I'm there?

I am moving to the U.S. for a year, after which I will be returning permenantly to the UK. I am going to buy an iPhone, but am unsure whether it would be better to buy it here, or when I get over there?
Hopefully the phone will last for more than a year!

If you do buy before you go do not worry about your warrenty as Apple should still support iy as all you need to prove is that you bought it while you were a resident in the UK. Why companies do not like to support other contry warrenties as they wany to stop grey imprts. In your case you are a UK citezen going to the US for a year and they should support it. Though like most users you probably will not need this option.
Buying before you go means that when you return to the UK you will still be able to use your phone here in the UK. The US carries like 2 + year contracts and tend to be more expensive than UK contracts. Not sure if they have as many deals as we do have in the UK.

Hi: I don't believe that Telus provides unlocking for the iPhone. Other phones, yes, iPhone no.

I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?

If officially unlocked, you can purchase a sim from one of the two nationwide GSM carriers, AT&T or T-Mobile. However, AFAIK, none of the carriers in India offer unlocking for the iPhone. Thus, if your phone is carrier locked, the only way it will work in the US is roaming...that would cost a fortune.
So, if you have a carrier locked iPhone, leave it home or sell it before you come to the US, then purchase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, when you get to the US. You'll be able to use that phone in India when you go back.

My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5. I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. ???

My HD died on my iMac. I replaced it and lost everything that was on it. I found my source disks from my original purchase for Final Cut Express HD 3.5. I now have Maverick ISO and it will not let me load my software so I can continue my film work. How do I get it too recover it without paying for it again since I paid for it already and have projects in progress that need to be completed?

1) Partition your hard drive or add an external drive and install Snow Leopard (with the Optional Rosetta) into it and then you can dual-boot (System Preferences:Startup Disk) into Snow Leopard and run FCE 3.5 there.
2) Use one of the following methods to install FCE 3.5 into Mavericks:
a) Pacifist: http://www.charlessoft.com/
b) Jeremy Johnstone's Terminal method: http://www.jeremyjohnstone.com/blog/2012-03-11-installing-final-cut-pro-studio-2 -0-on-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html
Reports on this forum seem to confirm that Final Cut Studio 2 will continue to operate in Mavericks once it is functionally installed, albeit some plug-ins may fail to function. FCE 3.5 is the same generation as FCS2, and presumably will continue to operate in Mavericks, as well.

Hello,
Why do you need to use the regasm utility from the post-build action?
There is a difference between signing the assembly with a strong name and digital signature. The
How to: Sign an Assembly with a Strong Name article in MSDN explains how to sign an assembly with a strong name (.snk). See
How to digitally sign a strong named assembly for adding a digital signature.

I want to give an iPad to my wife to use for work, but her employer won't let her upgrade her Macbook from Leopard to Lion. It's pointless if she can't use iCloud. Is there a workaround?

So far Apple has not upgraded the other Mac OS X versions to iCloud. She can manually enter information to be synced in the cloud but that is really tedious.

I had bought iPhone 4 from OLX. When i had deleted iCloud account and restored my iPhone it is still asking me about Apple I.D to activate my Phone.. Why is it so..?? Suggest me a possible reason for my Question so that i may continue using my iPhone...

I dont have any contact detail of that person whom i had bought this phone..

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

I will be upgrading from Windows XP, service pack 3, to Windows 7 Ultimate. Will I be able to use the same serial number for CS5 I am currently using on Windows XP on Windows 7 Ultimate? THANKS

You should be able to. Just deactivate your copy of CS5 on your old computer. Open one of the applications and choose Help > Deactivate.
Use your original install discs or a backup of your install file to install on the new computer. Or download here:

TS1474 I have a friend who is moving to Australia she has been told that if she plugs her ipod into a computer over there she will lose everything on it. Is this true.

I am moving to Australia to live. Can I resync my ipod with itunes on a computer over there without losing everything.

Wait, is this for a friend of for you? And yes, that is true. Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devicestab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software available to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.
