if i purchase an iphone6 directly from Apple and take to my carrier, Verizon, will I have any issues?

Yes. Not because of the phone, but because Verizon will only activate iPhones sold specifically for use on Verizon's network. You can buy the phone from Apple or from Verizon, but you must buy a Verizon-designated phone. And if you buy it from Apple there's no need to visit Verizon, as Apple can activate it on your Verizon account.

    Out of a silly curiosity, in what way did Ralph's reply solve your problem? (not that Ralph doesn't deserve recognition, mind you.)

  • I already have an iPhone with Verizon, my upgrade isn't until next June 2014. Can I buy the iPhone 5s from Apple and still use it with verizon?

    I dropped my phone in some water and I don't have apple care. It's been about a week and I'd rather put the money into fixing my iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5s. But I'm not sure if I can just buy the phone from Apple and still use it with verizon. Can someone help?

    Yes, Apple will sell you an iPhone you can use with Verizon.

  • I have a MacBook 5,1 (13.3" aluminum from 2007 or 2008). Automatic updates will only let me get to OSX 10.5.8.  Can I upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion 10.6 or even 10.6.8?  Also, will I have any issues with my iPhone if it's updated to iOS 7.1?

    I have a MacBook 5,1 (13.3" aluminum from 2007 or 2008). Automatic updates will only let me get to OSX 10.5.8.  Can I upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion 10.6 or even 10.6.8?  Also, will I have any issues with my iPhone if it's updated to iOS 7.1?

    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    System Requirements for 10.6:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
    You can upgrade direct from 10.6.8 to 10.8 Mountain Lion without going through 10.7 Lion with the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody. The Model 5,1 will probably run 10.9 Mavricks when it comes out.
    10.8 Mountain Lion is a download from the App Store, the price is $19.99.
    Mountain Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.8 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Mountain Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Mountain Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • I want to buy Iphone 4S or Iphone 5 from USA and ship it to South Africa, will i have carrier problems?

    I want to buy Iphone 4S or Iphone 5 from USA and ship it to South Africa, will i have carrier problems?

    If you buy a phone from Apple online from USA you must have a credit card with a US address and have it shipped to that same address. If you chose a carrier it will be locked to that carrier. You must buy an UNLOCKED phone to use outside of the US, for the unsubsidized price. For unlocked phones you don't need to choose a carrier. the iPhone 5 is not yet available unlocked; only the 4S is sold as unlocked by Apple.
    If you buy from the US Apple site you must return it to the US for warranty service.
    LTE is the "next generation" cellular network standard. It is supported in the US by Verizon and AT&T. 

  • I have a new Macbook pro and need to run some Windows software, it appears "Parallel" should work well from what I've have read. Will I have any issues or problems accessing and printing from various printers on my Windows 7 network within Parallel?

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List

  • IPad air 2 (direct from Apple) and Verizon -- not possible?

    I bought a cellular iPad Air 2 directly from Apple. I would like to (also) use it with Verizon. I went to a Verizon store and asked if I could get a Verizon SIM card, but the they claimed that is not possible. You can only use the iPad Air 2 on Verizon if you buy directly from Verizon. Is that true? I asked in the Apple store, but did not get a clear answer.

    You can activate the iPad Air 2 or iPad Mini 3 on any network, you just need the proper SIM card, and you have the freedom to change carriers, but will have to change SIM cards.  For some reason, the people in the Apple store are not well informed about the interchangeability of the new iPads. There are two kinds of SIMs now which cover all 4 current carriers: the Apple SIM, which can be used on AT&T, Sprint & T-Mobile, and the Verizon which is exclusively for Verizon.
    I read up about the features of the new iPads, and the interchangeability of the new iPads is the feature that convinced me to go ahead and spurge on a new one.  I bought an "Open Box Buy" iPad Mini 3, and when i trieed to activiatee the cellular, I found that it had an AT&T branded SIM, and I got an "Invalid SIM" message.  I made an appointment at the Genius Bar at teh Apple Store, and explained that I wanted to activate on Verison and needed a Verison SIM.  The guy who was helping me said he didn't even know you could do that.  He went in the back, talked to someone to verify that I could switch carrieers.  They gave me the Verion SIM, I activated it and all is well.  Read the articles linked below, and stand yuor ground since Apple isnt giving their emplyees the latest info.  My theory is that Apple isn't making the interchangeability well known because they don't want to aileante their carriers.  (I'm sure Apple willl save a lot of money not having to keep inventory of iPads for each of their carriers, and instead only have to keep 2 different types of SIM cards on hand instead).

  • I purchased my iphone4 from Apple and want to switch carriers do I need to unlock my phone

    My husband purchased my phone at Apple Store, we then assigned At&t as our carrier. I am no longer under contract and want to switch carriers. I am told I must unlock my phone, but I am not sure if I have to since we bought the phone at full price from Apple. If I do have to unlock my phone first how would I do that?

    Contact AT&T for unlocking details.

  • I've purchased two standard movies from iTunes and they started downloading then stopped saying download error any ideas on what to do??????? Help please!!

    I've purchased two standard movies from the iTunes store and they both started to download very quickly and then out of the blue, they stopped and the message for both read as follows: error try again....now, no matter how many times I try again, neither of these movies will complete the downloading process before that same message pops up again!!!! It's making me so aggravated!!! Someone please help!!! I've spent good money on these vids.....what do I do???

    Try to download them in iTunes on your computer. Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Click on your iPad name on the left side of iTunes and then from the menu at the top of the screen go to Store>Check for Available Downloads. You should be taken to another screen where the incomplete downloads can finish and then you can sync them to your iPad.

  • Purchased upgrade Snow Leopard from Apple and installed, now it says cannot locate my scanner?

    Have iMac with OS X version 10.6.3  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB 800 MHz DDRw SDRAM.  Purchased Mac OSX Snow Leopard and installed the upgrade.
    Connected to HP Photosmart C4680.  All worked fine until installing Snow Leopard.  Now my C4680 will not scan, says it cannot locate the scanner.  Reinstalled Snow Leopard with the same results.  I tried another Printer, Scanner with the same results.  I set both scanners up from the get go but still get the same results.  I think S.L left something out.  Would appreciate any help.

    Unless there are drivers provided by Apple to work with the printer, you're out of luck. The latest drivers provided by Lexmark are for OS X 10.4 Intel. Unfortunately, this can happen when slightly older peripherals and newer software don't mesh. 

  • What happened to my rentals menu item on the apple TV.  It is faster to download a movie and watch it on my AppleTV than directly from Apple and my password generally fails on apple TV.  I want that menu item back please.

    Last night I was surprised that the latest update of my Apple TV software excluded rentals from my PC.  I have two movies in queue and want to watch them on the Big Screen but cannot find the RENTALS section of the Owner's Library menu.  No warning just gone?  Not what I expected from you guys.  Please advise me as to how I might get that item back.
    Thanks in advance
    Shawn

    OK, Problem solved. Software on Apple TV was VERY outdated. It had been sitting in the box for over a year and needed an update. Problem solved!

  • If they take out the sim card from it and insert it in another iphone, will they have access to my information?

    My iphone5 was stolen this weekend. I have a passcode and the find my iphone app has been activated. The phone hasn't been turned on yet. The police reccomends keeping the app on for a few days to see if they turn it on. I read that the sim card can be removed and the phone will be wiped. Although I would love to get my phone back, I am more concerned with my information being accessed. Is it possible to remove the sim card? If so, can they insert the sim card in another phone and access the information that way or is it safe as long as there is a passcode? Any information will help, thank you.

    Since your phone was running iOS 7.0, the phone will be useless to anyone but you. Activation Lock will prevent the phone from being re-activated unless your Apple ID/Password is known.
    Your phone is now useless, except as a paperweight.

  • HT3402 Where is the ID Number If I downloaded Aperture directly From Apple with no Disk?

    Where can I find my Aperture 3 serial number if I downloaded it directly from Apple and do not have a disk and therefore do no have a serial number on a box?

    This is me.
    Aperture 3.2.4
    Are you sure, it is the AppStore version and not an Apple Store version? The version number suggests, you are running Snow Leopard and not Lion or Mt. Lion. With MacOS X 10.7.5 you should have been able to upgrade to Aperture 3.4.5 by now.
    If you bought Aperture from the AppStore ( Not the pre-Lion Apple Store version), then the usual solution is to reinstall Aperture.  Have you kept the installer you downloaded? You cannot download you current  Aperture version again, since the AppStore version is now 3.4.5.
    But if you downloaded Aperture from the Apple Store, you should have received a serial number by email. If you cannot find your serial number, contact Apple with a proof of purchase:

  • Why do I have other people I cloud on a brand new iPad bought direct from Apple

    hi
    i bought my husband a new ipad direct from Apple and when we go to set it up it has 2 other peoples iCloud details on it. We don't know who they are and considering its brand new it doesn't make any sense. Has anyone else had this issue? if so how did you resolve it please. I have tried to get in contact with my supposed contact person at Apple but he has not replied. When I ordered them he told me to contact him for support
    thank you

    as I said something is NOT right
    your iPad is NOT new if it already has an Apple  id attached to it
