Is an iphone (5 in specific) made for a specific carrier?

My mom deactivated her iphone 5 and gave it to me. It was Verizon. I use t-mobile so I go to the T-mobile shop and buy a smaller SIM for it. The employees said I couldn't because of the carrier type.they stated it wouldn't work. I don't know if that's true. any help?

Malcolm is correct. A Verizon iPhone 5 is, per an agreement with the FCC, completely unlocked and will work on TMobile and AT&T, though not necessarily on LTE. It will not, however, work on Sprint.

    Is there a way to download the Elements 13 that is specifically made for Costco?

    Bob, in addition to what Barbara said, I have an expired trial version of Elements 13 on my computer and I bought the software at Costco so that I could have the serial number to reactivate it at a $30.00 savings over Adobe's price. I was just wondering if there was a way to download Costco's version since I do a lot of printing thru Costco.

  • Specific language for a specific app ?

    Hi all,
    I've been a mac user for a few decades, but I now come across a specific need for the first time.
    Is there an easy way to make it so that a specific App (Logic Pro X as a matter of fact) opens up in a specific language (English) while the preferred language in System Prefs is different (French) so that all other apps open in French by default?
    I know of a way to have LPX opening in English by changing the preferred language to English in the Systems Prefs, but I have to (remember to) manually change this setting in the System Prefs every time before I open it, and change it back every time after closing it to keep using the rest of my Mac in French.
    What I'm looking for is a specifi feature (or Utility) that would enable me to specify that LP X must use English language (countrary to all other apps) once and for all, without having to suffer this manual hassle every time. Preferably, I'd rather not "delete" all other languages but English from the LP X package (just in case I would need to use it in French at some point in the future ; I know, I ask for a lot here).
    Any idea how to achieve this?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Tom, kudos to you, this indeed solved it!
    Contrary to my post above, on second thought I went to the Terminal solution first, so as to directly amend default settings, by fear that if I swapped the lproj folder names in the app package this might cause funny little things later on if I update the app to a new version with new functionalities, extra menus, whatever (with consequent additions to these folders; I'm not really sure how an app is updated from v.10.0.9 to v 10.1 for instance...).
    It did it marvelously. The thing to know, for newbies to these things like myself, in case one would read this later on :
    If the app name includes spaces - such as Logic Pro X - make sure to include \ before each of them -  such as Logic\ Pro\ X otherwise the command line won't work.
    Real command line example would therefore be:
    defaults write -app Logic\ Pro\ X AppleLanguages -array en
    Safest is to drag & drop the app icon to an empty Terminal window first, which will display the full app path including its exact name Terminal-wise (including a .app extension which must not be included in the app name as per the command line above).
    This helped my, I hope it will help others as well.

    i dont like how the default font for the CJK languages and I would like to change it so...
    any idea how?
    THANKS IN ADVANCE ^_^

    i installed the font manually and not using pacman nor aur packages.... i downloaded an *.ttf (and *.otf) files and move them to /usr/share/fonts/TTF using nautilus...
    i couldnt figure where to configure them... i was able to configure it on firefox using about:config but the system itself... i didnt know how...

  • How to apply a specific music for each photo slideshow

    I'd like to setup a specific music for a specific photo slideshow, and to store that preferences, in some way, so that, on selecting a slideshow, automagically startup the specific song.
    Is it possible ?
    Seems not ... yet.

    You can do that by preparing the slideshow in iphoto instead of on the tv, you then have to ensure you sync the slideshow and the tunes you have used in the slideshow before playing it on the tv.

  • Putaway Block in Storage Bin for any specific Material Code

    Hi Experts,
    We have a problem, we have allowed mix storage, addition to stock in the storage type, our requirement is this, that we want to block one bin aa-01-01 for some specific material code xxxxx, but we want to allow putaway other material codes to that bin.
    How can we achieve this. Can we use LS07 or some other solution. Please suggest at the earliest.
    Regards
    Ishu

    Hi,
    In standard system, you can block one specific bin for the specific material with Putaway strategy "Fixed bin" by maintaining this bin in material master. It is unclear that you set "allowed mix storage" and again required material specific putaway in bin.
    You can change "Mixed storage" indicator to blank. Which explains "___"  Mixed storage is not allowed
           All storage units in a storage bin must contain the same material and batch (one quant).
    If you don't want to change any of current setting you'll need to use the user exit and maintain custom table where you can maintain specific bin for the material for the warehouse. After determination of the bin to putaway in the standard code you can check if it is conflicting to the entry in your custom table.
    Hope this'll help.

  • Implementation-specific documentation for the Sun/Oracle Java SE ?

    Hi,
    Some places in the Java SE API specification call for platform-specific documentation. For example, the specification of the method await of class java.util.concurrent.locks.Condition says:
    "Implementation Considerations
    The current thread is assumed to hold the lock associated with this Condition when this method is called. It is up to the implementation to determine if this is the case and if not, how to respond. Typically, an exception will be thrown (such as IllegalMonitorStateException) and the implementation must document that fact. "
    So, implementation-specific documentation is expected to exist in addition to the API specification documentation. Sure, sentences beginning with "Typically..." suggest that that is what the Sun/Oracle reference implementation does, so the behavior of Sun/Oracle implementation can be guessed in many cases... yet sometimes troubling uncertainty remains.
    If implementation-specific documentation for the implementation exists, please let me know.
    I apologize if I chose an inappropriate forum for this question, but there seems to be no forum for discussing documentation arrangements.

    If you want to look at the implementation sepcific documentation, the best place to look is the source.
    The reason the docuementation is written generically is because they want you to write portable code, rather than rely on the specific implementation detail of the one you are using.
    Even if you don't intend to use another vendor, you might want to upgrade in the future and Java 7 or 8 many change its implementations provided it meets the specification.

  • Iphone 4 since upgrade to ios 5.1.1 no longer works with made for itunes, iphone devices.

    Ever since I upgraded to IOS 5.1.1 my Iphone no longer works for playing music thorugh my Apline car unit, My Logic 3 clock radio, and a Next made for ipod device.
    I can sync through ITunes on the PC and can also play videos through the HDMI adapter.   My wifes iphone 4s and the kids  hand me down iphone 3s still play fine through these made for Itunes , Ipod , Iphone devices.
    I want to downgrade back to the prior IOS  I had before Apple encouraged me to install this bugged one.   How do I go about getting a legit non jailbroken prior IOS version installed on my Iphone?
    Is Apple aware of this issue , as I have seen blogs about this it is affecting other people?   Will this issue be resolved with ios 6?
    Can I get the beta ?
    Thanks,
    Douglas

    Agreed. Same thing here. Just bought a late model Alpine INE-S920Hd and it is all kinds of broken. I think this is happening because Apple shifted the music and video. Totally buggy. Bluetooth refuses to work properly, too. A2dp keeps stealing the audio from Pandora in the Alpine interface. The ipod controls dont work at all.

  • How can I use an iPhone 4S with a device which is made for an iphone5?

    I own an iPhone 4S and an iPod, I just purchased an alarm clock which has a sync adapter made for the new iphone 5 which has a different size sync. Is their anything I can buy that will allow the two devices to work together or do I need to return the alarm clock?

    Thank you so much for the quick answer, It really stinks that Apple switched from the 30pin to the lightning adaptor. I paid a lot of money for my iPad 2, iPod 4 th and iPhone 4 s. It's not like I can afford buying new devices every couple of years. Apple devices are more expensive than any other brand, thanks for nothing Apple.

  • I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. How can I fix it?

    I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
    At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.

    iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone.  You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone.  You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account.  iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
    iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac.  When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account.  You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar.  If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.
