If you're getting your first iPhone 5, does it have to have the same carrier as your computer and T.V. at your house? Or could you get a different, cheaper carrier instead?

I'm hopefully getting an iPhone 5 soon, & I'm just wondering if I could get a different carrier for the phone because I heard that AT&T is more expensive than the other carriers. At my house (for our computer & TV) we have AT&T. So, I'm just wondering if I could get a different carrier for the iPhone instead of AT&T.

The iPhone is avaialble in the U.S. with the following major carriers:
AT&T
Verizon
Sprint
T-Mobile

  • Wife getting her first iPhone - adding to Mac with my phone

    My wife and I have been sharing the same user profile on our Mac. It's easy because I'm the only one with a mobile device. I should note that my daughter has an iTouch, she has her own user profile. Our iTunes Media folder is on the shared folder because we share music, but the iTunes on her profile is connected to her iTunes account.
    Wife is getting an iPhone. Does she need her own profile? Can she sync her phone to my iTunes? Will that give her the same apps and music as me? Is there any way for the iTunes on our shared profile keep track of two different phones? Can one iTunes use two different Apple IDs?
    Presuming we need a new profile, is there an easy way to clone profiles, so her new one looks like her old one?
    If we need two profiles, how do we deal with shared documents? I don't want to put them on the Shared folder, because the daughter shouldn't see them.

    Read here:

    You can share iTunes content using your ID, but I suggest you get her her own ID for iCloud, FaceTime, & iMessage. Must be a verified email address. You can create an ID here. Do this first:

  • IB isn't aware of my classes-- "Your First iPhone Application"

    I'm trying to follow the "Your First iPhone Application" tutorial. I run into trouble on this page:
    https://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhon e101/Articles/chapter5_section4.html
    The text field does not autocomplete to "MyViewController" nor does it appear anywhere in the list in the dropdown menu. I have called the project "tutorial" and "tutorialAppDelegate" does appear in IB's dropdown menu; I don't know if that tells you anything.
    Do I have to do something special to make IB aware that that class exists? I think IB has changed somewhat since the documentation has written because in mine, "View" is called "Custom View," and I have a fourth icon called "Application".

    I'm afraid that doesn't really help at all. It tells me that I need to do what I am already trying to do:
    1. Create a new nib file using the Cocoa Touch View template and configure it as follows:
    a. Set the class of the File’s Owner proxy object to the class of your custom view controller.
    b. Connect the view outlet of the File’s Owner to the view provided by the template.
    I know that I need to do these things; what I don't know is how to get the GUI to let me. Do I need to put MyViewController in a specific part of the project in XCode? Do I need to flag it as a useable class somewhere? Could I have left out an option somewhere when I made the file?

  • Your First iPhone Application Keyboard Won't go Away

    I followed the Document "Your First iPhone Application" Right to the letter and no matter how much I start at this code and the linking in the interface builder I can't figure out why the keyboard won't dismiss with the done button
    I put a break in the following code and it's not even getting launched when done is pressed
    - (BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField *)theTextField {
    if (theTextField == textField) {
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
    return YES;
    Anyone have any ideas on what I should check? Everything else works in the program.

    MyViewController.h file contents
    #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
    @interface MyViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate> {
    UITextField *textField;
    UILabel *label;
    NSString *string;
    @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITextField *textField;
    @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *label;
    @property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *string;
    - (IBAction)changeGreeting:(id)sender;
    @end
    I think this is what you are referring to. Also in the Interface builder I have the File's Owner class set to MyViewController
    I'm so confused I've felt like I've gone through the booklet 3 times threw trying to figure this out. If I can't get this keyboard to go away there is no way i'm going to be able to build a complex app

  • I am about to go get my 4th iphone 4s since November!  Up in the left coener where it shows your signal strength, it goes into searching mode and stays there.  Kills my battery.  This one has lasted the longest-I got it December 23.  Any ideas out there?

    I am about to go get my 4th iphone 4s since November!  Up in the left corner where it shows your signal strength, it goes into searching mode and stays there.  Kills my battery.  While in searching, no calls can be made/recieved, no internet, etc. This one has lasted the longest-I got it December 23.  Any ideas out there?

    Both.  The first two, I did use my itunes.  The guy at the apple store said that could be the problem.  The last time they gave me a new phone and SIM card, and the tech said it wouldnt be the itunes.  Just to be safe, I never connected this phone to the itunes until last night-after it started searching- to save everything since I'm sure they will be replacing the phone today.  But hey, thanks for the suggestions.  I'm about at my wits end with Apple!!  Especially since i added a third line to my account just so I could get an iphone back.

    Im trying to restore my iphone 3gs to its factory setting at the same time updating to a newer version 6.1.2. while restoring, itunes states"We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activition at this time." i cant open my phone, what does it mean

    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

    I'm relatively new to Mac and want to try and get the most out of the new MacBook Air.
    My wife and I have been sharing the same Apple ID. We both have iPhones - she has a 5 and I've got a 4S.
    We only have one copy of iTunes and we have been sharing the account. (She doesn't really use the computer for anything beyond writing the odd weekend assignment.)
    Would I be better off setting her up with her own and making her as a separate user on the computer? Would this require much work?
    In recent times with updates, we have a few problems with the duplication of texts and that sort of thing. Both of our texts are stored on the computer and that sort of thing. Also, sometimes texts I send her are sent through to me  from her, if that makes any sense.
    Anyway, I don't really want to overly complicate matters when it comes to accounts etc, but I wanted to know if a fresh Apple ID would be the best thing or even a new user?
    Any tips etc would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks in advance
    MacBook
    I have this question too (0) Reply

    Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac"   maybe thats why nobody answered you.
    It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
    since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well.   I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours,  I dont know.......

  • I just bought my first iphone.  I am so disappointed in the battery life on the iphone5.  Have the phones always been this way?  Is there anything in the works to improve the battery life?

    I just bought my first iphone.  I am so disappointed in the battery life of the iphone 5.  Is this the norm for iphones?  Are they working on a fix to this problem?  Almost wishing I had bought something else.

    Without knowing what battery life you are seeing we can't determine if you have a problem. Have you compared your usage to the Technical Specifications?
    Talk time: Up to 8 hours on 3G
    Standby time: Up to 225 hours
    Internet use: Up to 8 hours on 3G, up to 8 hours on LTE, up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
    Video playback: Up to 10 hours
    Audio playback: Up to 40 hours
    Under normal use, unless there's a problem with your phone, battery life is comparable to any other smart phone and better than some. If you've never owned a smart phone before you will be disappointed with the battery life on all smart phones. You should expect to charge any of them daily. It's a mistake to think of it as a phone at all; it's a very powerful pocket-sized computer that can also make phone calls.

  • I bought a iphone 5s from gumtree. While trying to activate it i realised there was an account linked to it through an apple id. it doesnt say the phone is in lost mode and it still has warranty. am i able to get a fix from apple?

    unfortunately - no
    if the device is on ios 7.1 or above there's two things.
    1) the device may be restored to factory settings - but the phone can't be activated. imei unlock is different to Iphone activatio. - your friend unlocked it to use any sim in any country. iOS 7 forces you to restore the phone and reimpit the original icloud login. This can only be solved if you a)forgot the login/changed  it, and can prove to apple youre the owner; b) to get the original owner to deauthorize his account associated with the phone, on his/her computer.
    2)if there's also a Passcode lock on the phone, and the last registered sim doesn't work (in the case of a stolen phone) - then it's impossible for you to do anything, full security = restore will lead to activation lock immediately. There's no bypass to it, the fake videos online only allow a bypass if the device was a 'jailbrokem' one - which would invalidate apple trying/ever wanting to help you.
    if you know who the phone belonged to previously (usually comes up with the icloud username on it) then you can ask them to deactivate it.
    otherwise, you have what we call - a brickb- won't even work as a super iPod touch

    Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home/nobloat ) and further independent information can be read here:

    and here:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1146064/troubleshootdns.html?t=234
    Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    (You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
    Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
