Is it possible to change your cdma iphone 5 to a gsm carrier, and then back to your previous cdma carrier?
I'm using StraightTalk right now and am wanting to try out H20. I know my iphone 5 is gsm unlocked so the switch to the gsm H20 Network should be simple enough. I'm wondering though if for some reason I don't find H20 a good option can I switch back to StraightTalk on my CDMA network.
If you have a CDMA iPhone 5 (in the USA, model A1429), and the GSM slot is truly unlocked (not just unlocked for international use) then you can use it with a GSM network. You should be able to go back to the same CDMA network it was sold for - in other words, you cannot change to a different CDMA carrier as the CDMA carrier is permanently locked in firmware and cannot be altered.
But make sure the GSM SIM slot is truly unlocked. For example a USA Sprint iPhone 5 could have the GSM SIM slot unlocked for international use, but it would not accept a SIM card for any GSM carrier in the USA, only for overseas carriers. I'm not sure what Verizon's policy was with iPhone 5 phones (with the new iPhone 5s or 5c, Verizon phones are sold with no lock of any kind on the GSM SIM slot).

Moving iphone/itunes to another computer and then back again
I'm on travel and want to add more podcasts to my 1st generation iPhone which is nearly full. I have a backup at home so I thought I would just reformat and then link to my Macbook Air while on travel overseas. However, iTunes said that I had to have a network connection which is a problem since I have an ethernet connection and the iPhone doesn't like the simple USB hub that I have. I suppose I can figure this out but my question is: when I return home can I restore with a backup on my home computer so I don't have to re-install a bunch of apps?
BTW, it's rather strange that I can't reformat an iPhone without being connected online. This is trivial to do on an iPod.
ThanksAll media content will be erased when you sync to a different computer. You can transfer your purchases and backup manually before you sync. To do this, disable autosync in itunes, connect the phone and right click on it in the device list. Choose "Backup" and "Transfer purchases"
After your phone got erased, restore from that backup. See what the backup contains here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Music is not part of the backup, but if you bought it in the Store, you where able to transfer it from the phone to the computer when you transferred your purchases. -

Try to reset it by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again. If this does not help, connect in recovery mode: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

How is it possible to change the page of 1 tab to Page 2 then to page 3 etc using a boolen control?
Hi sir,
I created A tab control of 4 pages.How is it possible to change the page of 1 tab to Page 2 then to page 3 etc using a boolen control?
Please Mark the solution as accepted if your problem is solved and donate kudoes
Solved!
Go to Solution.You have a couple of possiblities:
Keep the tab value in a shift register and use a value changed on the boolean to increment or decrement the tab. Write to a local variable of the tab as needed (I would recommend against value property nodes as in the above examples by others).
You could also hide the tabs and make the tab control an indicator. Now you can write directly to the terminal if the boolean changes and you don't even need a local variable.
Here is an example showing both (LabVIEW 8.2).
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress). Never had this problems before and I have reseted it once or twice since changing emailadress on the Apple-ID.

Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer. You back up to iCloud over wifi. All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup. You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud. -
I've broken my iPhone 4, my frontal display and the back screen so, I'd like to know how much is to change it ?
The state of the warranty no longer matters since accidental damage itself voids the warranty. Apple calls replacement due to damage an out-of-warranty replacement so there is no misunderstanding about that. And they take it just a little further by saying if you try and repair it yourself, then they won't have anything to do with the iPhone ever again. They are pretty emphatic about what they will and will not do in the way of replacing.
You can, of course, take the iPhone to an Apple Authorized Repair Service and see if they will replace the screen and back and how much that would cost. That way Apple will still deal with you if necessary. -

How to change view in iPhone from vertical to horizon and vice versa?
How to change view in iPhone from vertical to horizon and vice versa?
Not all applications will go from Portrait to Landscape. Changing just requires you to turn the device. However, if you have the orientation lock activated, then it will not change to landscape. To check, look in the status bar and see if you can see a small lock shaped icon near the battery icon. If you do, then orientation lock is activated. To turn it off, swipe upwards from the bottom of the iPhone screen to bring up Control Center. The orientation lock is the last icon on the top row to the right. Tap on it to turn it off. White is on, black is off.

Stop being impatient.
From the article that the question was posted from:
Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
You cannot downgrade.
If you have a 3GS, you can only install iOS 6.1.3 which is the current version of iOS for the device. -

I bought my iPhone 4s in the Uk and then brought to Cyprus where I live. I used Siri to call my husband 2 days ago without problem but now when I try to use Siri it won't call any local Cypriot number but will call my Uk contacts. I can call the same numbers manually so it's not my network. Any help would be appreciated.
This sounds like an international issue? Although I can not see why? I brought my phone in Australia and operating it in Indonesia, I have the same issues.... Otherwise Siri works fine, even texting (SMS) to local numbers siri works well, but dialing local number it just wont work...! I will try using my Australian SIM card and see if that is the reason.. I tried changing the number in the contacts and took out the international prefix, I turned the international assist on and off still nothing.. How frustrating. I called apple, the technican had know idea and we to his supervisor, had to wait fro 40 miuntes and then I hung up..
PLEASE HELP..!
