I have DOA phone and need to exchange it. Help me
On 8-6, I bought a prepaid galaxy s4 which arrived promptly on time. When I opened and started assembling the phone, I 've noticed the simcard wasn;t packaged. I looked and looked and I couldn't find a box for the sim card. So I chatted with the sales about it who told me I had to contact customer service to return the phone.
So I was about the contact the customer service, then I've noticed the sim card was already preloaded in to the slot. and I couldn't get it out to find the number on it. But since it was already in it, I decided to finish assembling the phone and activate the phone.
Everything worked like it was supposed to. Everything on the phone worked at first. Then I've noticed last night that my device disappeared from myverizon website. So I added it again and it worked fine for a bit, then it disappeared again today. Then I was trying add myverizon app and the vz protection. Myverizon app worked but vz protection says myaccount was suspended;
i spent the past 6 hrs trying to sort out the issue to no avail. So I'm trying to send the phone back and get it exchanged for a phone with sim card NOT preloaded.
Can you people please help me how to go about doing this? I understand I just send the phone back.
But I have bought a prepaid plan and the device was discounted for that purpose. How do I just buy the refurbished phone alone? Or do I have to buy the entier plan/prepaid phone combination again?
Also is there a way to initiate an exchange on this website?
Ah ha now I get it.
Take the device into a Verizon wireless corporate store. Have them set the device up to function or to warrantee it.
I don't use prepaid but I have read some use prepaid cards and others can have auto pay through Verizon wireless.
I have no idea which method you are using.
You are better off at a corporate store and do not go to any reseller .
I have read T-Mobile has a new prepaid device which is only $40 a month for unlimited talk, text and 4G data.
Maybe you can return the phone and such and cancel out the payment you made and just go to them or even Straight Talk etc.
Sorry about the confusion in making out your post.
Good Luck

I have photos on my phone and need to e-mail a bunch of them, I can't find them on my computer where did they go?
Welcome to the Apple community.
Any photo stream photos will be streamed to iPhoto on your Mac providing that photo stream is enabled in the iPhoto preferences. -
I have a phone and a pad. Do I need to have both of them backed up as everything is moved to the pad?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I guess it may not be absolutely necessary, but if you need to restore the phone, you can't do it from an iPad back up.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable. -
I have smashed the screen on my phone and need to back it up but as i cannot enter my passcode itunes will not let me connect. Is there a way round this?
no

I just tried updating my iPhone 4GS and it says I have an error, and need to "restore" the phone before I can use it with iTunes??? I don't want to lose the pictures on it! What can I do to save them?

No, sorry... did not happen becasue no such model exists.
If the device is in recovery mode, any data on it is already lost.
The only options are:
Restore the device to get it functional.
Enjoy the paper weight.
For what reason did you attempt to update the device without first ensuring that your data was safe, meaning backing up the device and copying important pictures/videos taken with the device to a computer? -
When I send a text message I do not get any confirmation that it has been delivered. Is there any way of getting an automated message confirmation delivery and time? I was used to this with my old phone and need to know that my text message has been delivered to the recipient's phone, and when.
Thanks. So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery. Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone. It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account. I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account. Any help on how I can I do this?
You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

uh my phone is broken and won't turn on. so I'm getting a new phone and need to back it up but i need to unlock my passcode to backup but my phones locked sooooo idk ;/
Nothing you can do, sorry to say. If it will not turn on there is absolutely nothing you can do now to backup what is on it. The whole point of a backup is to have made it before disaster strikes. Now, with a dead iPhone, all you can do is accept the loss of your data.
You will be able to re-download iTunes and App store purchases since they are tied to your AppleID, not your device.
Have you been using iCloud for backup? If you have, then you should have a backup in iCLoud you can use to restore your replacement phone with. iCloud backups are automatic (once every 24hrs, whenever your device is on wifi, plugged in and asleep). -
I need to block a certain number from my daughters phone and need to know how to do it, help?
I need to block a certain number from my daughters phone and need to know how to do it, help?
Go on your account and under where it says plan, there is a tab for blocking calls but the block only lasts for 30days i think or more. You may have to re-apply the block if needed.

Hi,
I have an 8800 and need help. The charger socket doesn't work anymore, the trackball doesn't go horizontal (occassionally) and the screen light turns on and off at random. I've had my Blackberry less than a year.
Before sending it in for repair or replacement I need to back up all my data (apparently it gets cleared when a repair is done) so ordered a cradle and spare battery so I cound charge a batter externally. To compound the problem I keyed in the wrong postcode on the order (it never rains but it pours) but quickly mailed billing to tell them and with the correct PO number.
Needless to say the items haven't arrived so I called and was fobbed off and told that this is a matter for their partner Globalware Solutions even though I paid via the Blackberry.co.uk website
I've scoured the site and found no contact details whatsoever by which I can follow this up properly (Why do large companies do that? Are their customers not important enough to them to allow direct contact?).
Rim/Blackberry/Globalware now have my money and have ignored all my emails. In other words I have no way of finding out the status of the order, what's happening or where my required items are.
On top of that one of the email addresses I mailed to bounced and this site is a nightmare to use. If you're going to want a capital letter and a number of part of a password to access a forum then tell people in advance. If you're not going to let someone buy in Euros from the UK because you don't consider the UK as part of Europe then tell them. Don't let them go through the entire purchase process before letting them get to the Euopean drop down list of countries and then not including the UK in it. I could go on.
Can someone please tell me how I chase up my order (it's only a small one) without wasting too much more time on this.
I have to say that this is all a great shame because I've been happily using Blackberries for years now and think they're superb products. I've been an evangelist for them actively spreading the word about how great they are. I've never needed service or support before though.
If anyone from Blackberry, Rim or Globalware is reading this then you have my order number and just an email would at least begin to resolve this. The delivery of the items paid for would entirely resolve it. I wait for your contact.
One thing you should know if you wish to continue to ignore me though is that I am 'Mr Persistent'.
JeremyThanks. I remember now that is exactly what they said. Which means I need to do it over again.
Here's what happened. I went to my laptop to try restoring since it was my desktop that was giving me the message. I was able to install the newest OS onto my iPhone. Then I reconnected the phone to my desktop, which now gave me a different message. It said it could not sync with this iPhone until I updated to the newest version of iTunes. I was one version behind.
So I updated and then since my iPhone had the newest OS and iTunes had the newest version, everything spoke to each other fine. At that point I got the message asking me to whether I wanted to restore from backup or set up as new.
I thought that restoring from backup would potentially bring back the problem, but discretion being the better part of valor decided to try that first.
Woke up this morning to your message and of course now realize that I must go through the process again, only this time set up as new. And yes I made sure to back everything up before I did any of this.
So now it's just a matter of doing it again, which will have to wait until tonight when I don't need to use my phone.
So thanks for the info! -
I have tried restoring an Ipod Nano 6th Generation but it seems to keep looping back and saying it is in recovery and needs restoring, can anyone help?
Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

How can I find password to Apple TV? I have forgotten password and need it to activate AirPlay. Thanks!
Welcome to the Apple community.
Which password is it that you are looking for. If it is your airplay password, simply turn the password off in the airplay settings on the Apple TV and then turn it back on again and enter a new password. -
Help! I synced my iCal from my old iPhone to iCloud. It worked great. I've done this because I'm switching to a Samsung phone and need to sync my iCal to my Google calendar. In attempting to do so today, my iCal is empty. How can I retrieve my iCal info??
This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that? -
I ordered my new S5 online and after following the steps outlined in exact order, my old phone no longer works and the S5 will not authenticate. Now I have no phone and I am becoming frustrating.
It downloaded all my contacts, photo's with no problem. I called the number they gave me from my old phone and then turned it off. I then put the sim card in and charged the phone. I followed all the setup steps and no I cannot send any text or make any phone calls. I get a message that they cannot authenticate my phone to dial #8899 but get the same message.Hello Notahappycamper1962
Let's get that S5 up and running! I want you to love the S5! Is the old device powered off? What zip code are you in?
I look forward to hearing from you and getting this addressed.

I have installed Proloquo2Go and need to know if everything I put into a new folder in this app will be saved automatically or how do I do this and not lose photos and folders?
Hello dancetoday07,
Let's see if we can square this away for you. With backing up your iPhone, it will back everything you have using iTunes and if you use iCloud, by default, backs up everything. After you have made a backup you can restore that to put the contents of the backup on your replacement iPhone. If you want to put certain things back on, you will at least need to export the content to your computer, like your photos and videos. If you only want to put certain things back on, then you will need to sync that over with iTunes. All the information you will need are in the articles below.
