I used an upgrade from a different phone to purchase a new iPhone. How do I assign that phone its original number (not the one that it was upgraded from)?

Phone number of the device is assigned by the carrier.
Ask the carrier.

I wish to use the previous version not the one that has today been automatically installed. My settings were to let me know and I decide to install when I'm ready

I wish to use the previous version not the one that has today been automatically installed. My settings were to let me know and I decide to install when I'm ready, how do I go back. This because one of the previous Plugins does not work with this version, and they have no fix for it yet!

Are the ones from the CD's on iTunes? You may just have to sync them over to the phone.

I wanted to tie my new iPhone by its serial number, but the message that it is already bound to another Id. Why, because a new phone?

Can you explain what you mean by "...tie my new iPhone by its serial number?"

HT1430 Can anyone help me set up sending email from my o2 email account to my new iPhone 5? I think I maybe shouldn't have clicked the 'merge' option for iCloud when I set up the first email account (though am not sure whether that's relevant). Thanks,

Can anyone help me set up sending email from my o2 email account, for my new iphone?
Thanks

Additonally, at this point I really want to talk to someone who cares about how a customer like I might feel in such a situation and when I call corporate would like to talk to someone who is interested in hearing my input as it really sucks to think I really don't feel like going to the store anymore and would rather just buy stuff on amazon or newegg these days instead;/ When I know how much i used to enjoy going into the store and getting friendly with kind staff who worked with me to get the best deal on the items I got--perhaps this was because it was at a more desperate time when Best Buys fate as a company was more precarious prior to price matching taking origin. Also, on an aside, would like to add that obviously there is always the one or two people who go out of their way to make sure you have an excellent expeirenece so I am not trying to make any sweeping generalizations here. In fact, I find the forum contributors to be among the most kind and helpful, but that might be because they don't have to deal with the now seemingly dreaded "pricematch" epidemic;D

I purchased a new iphone 4 last week and it has worked fine until yesterday the screen was freezing. I have restored from a back up a few times but this does not help. Any thoughts?

I purchased a new iphone 4 last week and it has been working fine until yesterday the screen was freezing. Today I have restored factory settings and restored settings from a back up from a previous iphone 3G. The restore has not fixed the freezing issue. Any thoughts?

Only a week old? Take it back and get a new one one....call that one DOA,

I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on two computers. One computer allows me to drag and drop. The other does not.The one that allows it has problems. Any idea as to why I can drag and drop on one and not the other. Both are authorized.

I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on my two computers. I first connected the Touch to my desktop and it allows me to drag and drop mp3 files from my old Classic, which is backed up to a directory. Unfortunately, that computer has gone down before I got a chance to fill the Touch. I have the files on another computer but when I connect the Touch to it, it doesn't allow me to drag and drop the files. I have iCloud set on both systems and I have manual management check marked. I'm not understanding why it allows drag and drop on one PC and not the other when they are both set the same way. My question? What do I need to do to be able to drag and drop in iTunes 12? I didn't do anything special on the computer that allows it so I am at a loss.
Thank you!

Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
My other PC was:
Windows 7 Ultimate
My MacBook is:
Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

HT201269 Phone call activity on new iPhone, how to make it work??

Does anybody know how to get PHONE CALL activity on your new iPhone device AFTER you have already backed up your old phone and transferred EVERYTHING onto your new iPhone already ??? I can use the Internet , receive texts... But I cannot make calls !! Everything else works except receiving and making calls. I even updated the phone

If data connection is working on cellular, then you need to contact your carrier. Phone calls are a carrier responsibility. They need to check your account provisioning.

Replaced iphone 4s but apple didn't inform carrier. Now unable to unlock that device since IMEI is not the one associated with my account. How do I get phone unlocked?

iphone 4s replaced under warranty. Carrier (O2 Uk) not informed by Apple or me of this. I have updatesd to 5C but gave 4S to son. Trying to get 4S unlocked to use SIM only contract but O2 won't / can't unlock since the IMEI now doesn't match the one they have on file for my original 4S at start of contract.
Can anyone help?
Cheers

Call AppleCare & they can fix this for you, or go back to the Apple store that replaced your phone. No one here can help you.

When I close and reopen firefox, it restores my tabs, but it restores tabs from hours or days ago, not the ones that were open when I closed the window - why?

I normally keep my Firefox window open for long periods of time because I have a lot of active tabs. When I close the window and reopen it, I am still able to restore tabs, but as of a few weeks ago, it has stopped restoring the most recent version. Normally, when I would close and reopen, the tabs would be the same ones that were open when I closed the window. Now, it restores to a version from a few days ago instead of the current version. I have to revert to pulling my more recent tabs out of the recent history. I checked my options and I can't figure out any way to control this. How can I fix it so that I can count on my Firefox window to restore the tabs that I actually care about?

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

I have 3G I Phone and just got new pc. Have run sync in I tunes but none of the songs, etc are being transferred from the Phone to the new computer. How does one accomplish this?

I have a 3G I Phone and Just got a new PC. Have run a sync in I tunes but none of he songs, etc. in the I phone have transferred over. How does one accomplish this taks?

Only iTunes purchases may copy over via File > Transfer Purchases - otherwise syncing is one way, from the computer to the device. To get the rest of your music/films etc onto the new computer you can copy the backup from your old computer onto the new one and then load them into iTunes

If I buy a new iphone or any type of smart phone, will my imessages still be sent to my old iphone?

My sister had her iphone 3gs stolen, she went and got a new sim card and is not using a Samsung Flight II. The person who has the stolen phone is getting all of her imessages and has actually replied back to me. However, I am wondering if my sister goes and purchases a new iphone or some kind of smart phone will the messages continue to go to her iphone 3gs or would they go to her new phone? Thanks in advance!

In order to have a separate 5GB of storage he would need to have his own iCloud account with a separate ID. You can still share the same ID for iTunes; it does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.
In order to migrate his phone to a separate account, begin by saving any photo stream photos that he wants to keep on his phone to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos he wants to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud on his phone, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. Other devices still using the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, choose Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to his new account.
Finally, if there is any merged data in the accounts you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account.

2 iphones 1 computer. updated my wifes phone to ios 5 her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts are on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user accounts on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal?

2 iphone 4, 1 computer. i upgraded to ios 5 and just updated my wifes phone as well. her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts were put on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user acct on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal??

Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.
