I've just got an iphone 4, with a new sim - although iam keeping the same number, my iphone keeps displaying no service??

ive just got an iphone and new sim, im keeping my old number, ive registered my iphone on my p.c but my old phone and number is still active, whilst my iphone keeps displaying a "no service" where the signal bars should be. I think there is a problem with the sim - does anyone know for sure??

Sounds like your new sim is not activated. Call your carrier, they will need the sim number on your new sim. It's a 20 digit number on the back of the sim.

I will studying in the UK for the next year and want to know if an unlocked iPhone 4S with a new sim card purchased in the UK will work as opposed to getting a new phone?

I will studying in the UK for the next year and want to know if an unlocked iPhone 4S with a new sim card purchased in the UK will work as opposed to getting a new phone? There seem to be differeing opinions on this.

Iphone 4s only has one version so it should work world wide in any carrier..As long as it's and unlocked version ofcourse.

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

I just got my Mac Pro repaired from Apple but I am experiencing the same issue: Screen freezes and shows funny rectangular bars. I shut it down manually and when I try to turn it back on it beeps 3 times. I know its the RAM but is there a way I can fix it

If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

Everything looks in order there.

theres been discussions on 'unlocking the phone' do you think this could make it operate with my sim card?
Like you mentioned, she bought it from the Vodafone store and most likely the phone is locked to Vodafone. But, in your case since you are using the same carrier's SIM card (Vodafone), "unlocking the phone" is not an issue. Aside from that "phone unlocking" is ONLY done by the carrier and Vodafone NZ doesn't offer unlocking. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937)
As you have already tried restoring the phone (which technically wasn't required) and SIM change, your best option is to take the phone to Vodafone store and ask them to activate it for you.

My daughter has and ipod touch with free texting I would like to delete it and open a new app for her with a new number..I deleted the old number and when we downloaded the new app it gave her the same number how can I change text

My daughter has an ipod touch with free texting, she received an inappropriate mssg and I would like to delete it and download it again to receive a new number. when I download the new app it gives her the same number? can i do this?

Have you tried the developer's support web site? Withut you providing the name of the app makes it very hard for us to give specific recommendations. The only one that i can thin of is to purchase the app using a diffeent iTunes account.

Just got my MBP back with a new logic board but...

Hello all
I just got my laptop back yesterday. They did the logic replacement due to a bad graphics card (nvidia) I was not under warranty. I was having the Videocontroller error on the AHT. I just ran the AHT today via the apple disc. It came up with 4SNS/1/40000000:TGOD-86.500. I also noticed my superdrive does not accept blank disc media, it spits them out after a few seconds in. It still install and read programs off it. Burning discs is just the issue. I posted that issue here http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12410595#12410595 But prior to the new logic board, it recognized the discs as "blank"
Please any help would be appreciated.

I had an issue whereby only certain DVDs were usable.....some were, and some weren't.
My MBP went in for repair and the SuperDrive was replaced under my AppleCare extended warranty.
You'll likely need your SuperDrive replaced.
If I didn't have Applecare, I'd be up Shyte Creek by now with some very costly repairs on my September '08 MBP.
BTW, My MBP had two logic board failures in its second year of ownership which were replaced under my AppleCare warranty.

Multiple iphones each with an apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates?

We have two iphones each with a different apple id - can i use the same laptop and itunes for back up, restore and updates without risking having my apps overwritten. Basically does itunes keep the two iphones as two separate entities ? Does iTunes differentiate between the two devices and keep two different SYNCs ?

Yes, you can use the same computer for BACK UPS, RESTORING AND UPDATING. But that is it.
You cannot, however, use it to sync the different devices. iTunes will only recognize one device to sync with and if you sync any other devices with that iTunes library, it will replace what is on the phone with whatever is in the library. It cannot differentiate between devices. At most, it will jsut recognize that the phone has been synced with a different iTunes library.
So if you would like to use the same computer for backing up, restoring and updating, just make sure to turn of Automatic Syncing in your iTunes Preferences.

HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
A couple of other items:
1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device. Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click File>Transfer Purchases

Pre-ordering iPhone 6 and keeping the same number.

Hi,
I currently have an iPhone 4S and want to pre-order the iPhone 6 for delivery as it saves me going to the apple store to just be told they're sold out. I want to keep my same mobile number is this an option on pre-ordering from the apple site or do I have to go via my mobile company and order a sim / or iPhone from them.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
Laura

With the major carriers - AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile in the USA - the phone is shipped with a SIM card keyed to your current number. When you activate the phone after receiving it, service automatically transfers to your new phone, without having to contact your carrier.

How do I load my hubby's backed up contacts from itune to my phone with his new sim - itunes is registering my serial number and wants to load my contacts

We are fairly new iPhone users and my hubby lost (misplace he says) his iPhone but we had an another phone (not iPhone) and want to load his contacts onto a new SIM that he can use on that phone. We have changed his phone number to the new sim. I thought if I put his SIM in my iphone I could go in & add his backed up contacts onto his Sim but can't see how I can direct iTunes to do this as it must be looking at the phone serial number instead of the phone number which I was hoping it would do. I wants to back up & sync my contacts/info to his new SIM? Is anyone able to tell me how I can get his contacts onto his SIM without a new iPhone?
Thanks for your help.

No contact information is stored in iTunes. Contact information is synced through iTunes to a supported contact application on your computer: Outlook, Windows Address Book, OS X Address Book. Unless you own a sim card reader/writer, you're gonna have to manually enter these contacts directly on the phone.

I have a prepaid T-mobile phone. Can I keep the same number if I get an iPhone using AT

I have a prepaid phone through T-Mobile (no contract). I want to get an iPhone but I would like to keep my current phone number and I don't want to use T-Mobile - will probably go with AT&T. Is this possible?

yes you could request a port forwarding from verizon to transfer it to att ,usually it takes 2-4 weeks to port in numbers to a new carrier ...hope this answers your question

Cannot find previous owner email or password how do I activate with my new sim card

I cannot find previous owner to unlock and activate my new sim I do have the old number associated with previous owner its 785-214-8566

Little antenna is still intact. Everything looks good on that part. If I take it out the bars go grey. Yes this system was working fine with very good download speeds up to 1mb/sec (usually 400 to 700 kbps) up until a few days ago.

My husband just got an iPad and we are wondering if he can sync the iPad to my lap top since I already have my iPhone synced to the laptop. We do not want to intermix the contacts, photos, etc from his iPad onto my iPhone or my iPhone info onto his iPad.

You should be able to sync both to the same iTunes - I sync my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch to the same computer. With the iPad connected and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, you can use the tabs on the right-hand side to select which of your iTunes content to sync to it, so you can control which apps, photos, music etc are synced to it, and (via the Info tab) from which email account your contacts are synced from. Your computer's iTunes should remember your syncing preferences for each device.

Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! They said it should be pulsating but it's not

Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! I already read some reviews and discussion about this. They said that the lightning bolt should pulsate when charging but it's not!

Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ...
