Iphone 4 STOLEN today, trying to backup on 3G but don't know what I'm doing

My iphone 4 was stolen today while out at the pool and out of sight for literally 10 minutes. There are no iphone 4s anywhere at any of the att or apple stores here so am forced to order a new one and wait the 5-10 days. Luckily my dad still has his old 3G from when he upgraded to the 4. Question is, how do I get it to work? I restored his old phone and it gave me the option to choose my phone to backup on it, which I did. My photos and contacts are there and everything but it says no service...is there something else I am supposed to be doing?? Thank you SO much for any of your help, I am LOST without my phone!!

That's because that sim card has been deactivated. You need to go to an AT&T store & get an activated sim with your account info on it & put that in your phone.

HT1920 I have got a Activation Lock on my iPhone and I need to get it activated. I don't know what Apple ID I was using with my iPhone. It shows as U***@h******.uk which is too short to be my email address. I have reset all my Apple ID passwords and none

I have got a Activation Lock on my iPhone and I need to get it activated. I don't know what Apple ID I was using with my iPhone. It shows as U***@h******.uk which is too short to be my email address. I have reset all my Apple ID passwords and none are activating my iPhone. I have also been into the apple store and they have tried to find out the Apple ID my iPhone was using but this was not successful. The serial number of my iPhone is: C32JN641DTWF

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.
My Apple ID

My uncle has died and we are trying to access his iPad but don't know his code so the iPad is disabled. Can we unlock it without resetting the device as we don't know if he's backed it up our not and don't want to lose whatever he has on there?

My uncle passed away recently and we are trying to access his iPad but don't know his code so the iPad is disabled. Can we unlock it without having to reset it as we don't know if he's backed anything up and we don't want to lose whatever is on there... thanks in advance.

About all you can do is take the device to an Apple Store along with the death certificate and explain the situation...if someone can do something, it would be them.

WhyWontThisWork:
I can definitely how frustrating it must be to not be able to take pictures or even view pictures that have already been taken with your LG Dare.
Since this problem has started, have you tried to either:
a.) put that memory card in an alternate phone to see if the pictures can be viewed on there
b.) use a card reader/adapter in a computer to see if the pictures can be viewed on the computer
c.) take the memory card out of the phone and then try to take a picture?
What I am trying to determine is which of the 2 is defective (phone or memory card)
If you are able to view pictures in another phone, or on the computer , then you may have a bad card. If that is the case, you can transfer the pictures to the computer and then format the memory card by
Note: This procedure will erase all data on the memory card. It is recommended to back up the data.
From the home screen, touch the menu tab.
Touch Settings.
Touch SD card & phone storage.
Touch Unmount SD card.
Touch Format SD card.
Once you have done the formatting, try to take pictures again. If you continue to have problems it more than likely is the phone.
Also, in order to access PixPlace, log into your MyVerizon account, at the top, you should see "Messaging" go down to "Manage your photo albums" once there, you should see "My Media", however, if you have already received a message advising you that your album would be deleted if you haven't logged on in more than 180 days, all pictures have then most definitely been deleted. Again, we do send warning messages once the online album hasn't been accessed in 150, 175, 180 days respectively prior to deletion.

HT204053 Ugh. How do I get iCloud on my iPhone? I have been using my iPhone for about a year and I have an iCloud account but it is useless since nothing syncs to nothing else. Obviously I don't know what I am doing.

Bought the new MBP today, but don't know what to do now! Imperfect machine

Ok. I ran down to my campus computer store today and bought a base model MacBook Pro. Then, I returned home with lots of excitement. But after I opened up the laptop, all my excitement disappear shortly after I found 3 imperfections on the new MBP.
1.there is a dent on the edge of the front end (see pictures please). I'm so so disappointed and continued setting up the machine.
2.After all the noisy installation from an external hard drive. I realized that the fan is making a unpleasant noise which can only be heard in a quite environment. (I assume they have no way to hear it in store)
3.The speakers' wholes look very strange and looks like it's been used and covered with dust. -see in pictures
So I'm wondering what are my options. Is it possible to get a exchange or refund at the store or through Apple support?
Please help... I'm so screwed and don't know what to do now....

Hmmm, someone's "right" to be upset - and - the content over which they are upset, are two different things. I never questioned the Op's right to be upset - he/she can be as upset as they want to be, that is their right.
I'm just saying that my perspective of aesthetic complaints around here has shifted - and they no longer cause me to call into question Apple's quality standards. I can understand wanting something to be perfect - but implicit in the complaint was the statement that Apple committed some harsh violation, which now I think they did not.
So again, I was reading the board and getting quite upset (internally) with Apple - because I love them as a company and I want them to do well - because it's not often that you get "truly" innovative corporate entities in this world - most corporations just want to "homogenize" existence - distilling it down to a few basic variations which are easy to reproduce; all for the sake of the bottom line. The fact that Apple is forcing innovation into the market - causes a corporate strata that doesn't tolerate vanilla design ethics - and I think that is a good thing.
I don't want to live in a neighborhood where the only choices I have for food are, McDonalds, Starbucks, Olive Garden, etc. anymore than I want to use the same old square black laptop with Windows on it.
So now I see that there are imperfections in the manufacturing - but they aren't indicative of serious neglect on Apple's part, which is why said "whew..."

Creative Cloud is trying to download something and I don't know what it is

This is a strange problem. When I leave creative cloud open it seems to be trying to download and install something. I think I had a font installation error a while back. It causes other apps to have problems and then when I got to shut down my mac I get a download in progress do you wish to abort or continue? I know it's creative cloud because it only happens when I have it open. Any suggestions on trying to find out what it is trying to download or sync and how to stop it? I am using a macbook pro, yosemite 10.0.3

Trying to upgrade my firmware but don't know how

I have a wrt54g version 8 router. It's been working fine for the last couple of years but since I changed my ISP I have to keep resetting it. I know the problem is the firmware. However, when I go to the Linksys website and try to download ver 8.00.5 I get a box stating that it's an (unknown file type 1.59MB.) When I try to find a program online to open it, I get (No known program will open this file. This file is part of a program.)
I tried calling Linksys support bet they wanted to charge me $29 to upgrade the firmware for me. Are they kidding? I just bought a Netgear wireless g for $39 just in case I can't fix this one.
Can someone help?

You don't open that file at all. It is a .bin file used by the router. Download the firmware and rename it to code.bin. Now run the firmware upgrade section in the router and point it to that file. Once upgraded, power cycle the router and reconfigure it.

I don't know what I am doing... just trying to connect WRT54G ver 6 wireless router...

I got a new laptop and connect to comcast just fine. Now I am trying to connect to linksys wrt54g wireless router. I know I SHOULD KNOW this.... but originally connected thru Motorola SB5120 modem thru ethernet cable. What do I do next? Would appreciate any help to assist... many thanks.
Solved!

If your Internet Service Provider is Cable follow this link to configure the router.
If your Internet Service Provider is DSL follow this link to configure the router.

PC and Iphone user. I have Icloud all set up, but don't know where to access everything that I have "merged". I want to view my photo stream and don't see anywhere to click to view all of my stuff?

HI, I have Icloud all set up on my phone and PC. Where do I go to access all of my "merged" info including all of my pics? Where do I click? It took 8 hours to get it all up in "the cloud". Now what?

Open Contacts, look at the menu (on top of the screen) there is an entry for View, click it and from the resultant menu choose Group.
It's the 4th from left.
On your iPhone it is here:

If the phone is turned off, doesn't have an internet connection, or has been restored preventing "Find my iPhone" from being able to work, there is no other way to track it.
