Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud?

Is there anyway to restore an iphone to new from a different computer and then use a backup from the cloud? At&t said that they unlocked the phone but that it needs to be reset in itunes and retored for it to work. However, I do not have access to my computer as I am overseas and need to put a new sim card in. Anyone had this problem and know a way to go around this?

If you have an backup on iCloud. You can restore via iTunes (on every computer) or via your iPhone itself.
And yes, you can restore the backup via iCloud.
To set iPhone to new do this: Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data and Reset all Settings.
It take a while. But after this, you can restore backup via iCloud.

I find using the iPhone / iPod size virtual keypad much easier to use with a stylus...as when an iPhone app is installed on the iPad. Anyway to use the iPhone size keypad with all apps?

I don't want the keyboard to become bigger. Wish there was a way to always have the iPhone sized keypad available for use with any app. When typing with fingers or stylus, the distance between keystrokes is SO much shorter and efficent on the iPhone keypad vs the "full size" iPad keyboard.
I've heard that there will be some keyboard options when the new IOS comes out...wish this was one of them.
Haven't looked yet, but is there a place you can recommend things such as this to Apple?
Thanks.

Is there anyway to use your best buy credit card online before receiving it?

I know if you haven't received the card yet in the mail you can still use it in store by giving an employee your information. But is there anyway to use it online to make a purchase?

Good morning Seniorfarts,
It's great to hear that you are either considering or have already applied and been approved for a My Best Buy credit card! It is my understanding that you would have one opportunity immediately after being approved for the credit card online to use it. Outside of this browser session, I believe you would need to wait for the arrival of the physical card. Sadly, this means if you apply and are approved in store, you would not be able to use the card online until you receive it.
I hope this helps! Please let us know if you should have any other questions.
Sincerely,
Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Is there anyway to use the kerning in a selected sentence?

Is there anyway to use the kerning in a selected sentence instead of selecting each space between the characters?

ok that is understandable and fully reasonable. but tech is tech. when one is made to do everything it can also be limited through the code.
Would anyone be able to make or program something to override the code and just use it to send/receive through the hardware. like said the bluetooth tether feature was not doable but mywi was able to through jailbreaking.
what i am asking is, would be it possible?
( edit: didn't read the part of the profiles. )
profiles are not editable? ... or even replaceable?
or is it really just too much work ?

I'm not sure about the original iPhone, I didn't have one, but the iPhone 3G did not have a disk mode feature.

Is there a way to install the server on an external drive connected to an airport extreme?

Is there a way to install the server on an external drive connected to an airport extreme?

If you want a small (comparatively) cheap server along the lines of the AirPort Extreme the nearest thing is a Mac mini.
You can use the AirPort Extreme as a very basic file server, and (unofficially) a Time Machine server. A Time Capsule has a built-in hard disk and officially supports being a Time Machine server.

Is their another way like to use my time capsule as an external drive not using time machine?thanks

You do not have to use Time Machine.. but the TC is hardly suitable for a NAS.. it has no means to back itself up and is relatively slow. Still that is up to you..
CCC or Superduper are good backup softwares .. and there are a number of others.

I'm using Time Machine and a LaCie external drive to backup. I also have a 8 GB LaCie flash drive I want to use for small jobs. If I plug the LaCie flash drive in, is my Mac going to think it is the LaCie external drive and start trying to backup?

HT5299 Thunderbolt-Can you use an adaptor From a thunderbolt External drive to a firewire 800/400 Mac

Thunderbolt-Can you use an adaptor From a thunderbolt External drive to a firewire 800/400 Mac

No. The Thunderbolt to Firewire adapters only work to connect a Firewire drive to a Thunderbolt port. They do not work in reverse, to connect a Thunderbolt-only drive to a Firewire port. If the only port your drive has is a Thunderbolt port and all you have on the Mac is Firewire, you can't use that drive with that computer.

Using Disk Utility to Erase an external drive freezes Disk Utility?

When I use Disk Utility to Erase an external drive, Disk Utility freezes indefinitely and the action is not performed.
How do I fix this?

To use it on your MBP you need to set the OPTION when you partition it so that it will be the Intel GUID partition scheme, then set the partition(s) you want.
If it is hanging or failing, that can be caused by bad sectors where the partition table has to be written. You might need to zero the drive. If you have a PC, then use Maxtor's tools to reformat and test the drive.
PPC Macs use one partition/format scheme, IntelMacs use another, and Windows a 3rd.

Is there anyway to use Facetime on Windows 7?

Live very far from home, my whole famly have Iphones (myself included) we use facetime a lot but i have a Alienware PC with windows 7, and would like to know if there is anyway to use facetime from the laptop? i hate skype.

Compatibility isn't really the issue. Apple supposedly left Facetime "open" such that someone could build it into an application compatible with other OS's. It's just that no one has. I wish Apple would. Skype is great, but Facetime is so easy to use on the iPad, its a shame they don't port it. I'm sure it has to do with trying to get users to buy Mac computers if they want Facetime on their computer. That's cool, I'll stick with Skype since it's ported to both.

TS4036 Is there anyway to backup my iPhone with iCloud directly on my computer?

My iPhone screen is broken and I can't access my iCloud backup settings on there. Is there anyway I can do it via my computer?
Thanks so much!

Sorry, didn't realize you were trying to access you settings via your computer to enable backing up to iCloud. But now that you have a backup on your computer is there a reason that you want to back up to iCloud too? I assumed you were trying to back up your phone prior to having it fixed or replaced. You can use the backup you made in iTunes now to restore from if you need to get your phone repaired or replace.
If you still want to turn on iCloud backup you can connect your phone to iTunes, click on the name of your phone on the left side, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, under Backup select "Back up to iCloud", then sync your phone. I believe this will turn on iCloud backup on your phone. I'm not completely sure as I turned in on in Settings. After doing this, you can connect it to your charger and wi-fi and hope that it's backing up to iCloud. Unfortunately there's no way to be sure since you can't access Settings on your phone to verify that it backed up to iCloud successfully. That's why the safest thing to do at this point is back up in iTunes; that way you know it backed up.

Is there anyway to connect my iPhone to the internet through my computer's WiFi?

Basically I live in an Army Barrack Block and I use an internet service in my room called Wifinity. I pay for this monthly and it allows me for up to two devices to connect to the internet. The two devices are my Macbook Pro (late 2010) and iPad (3).
If I connect my iPhone to the internet it cancels either my iPad or Mac out and I have to phone them up to change it back round.
What I was hoping to know is:
If I have my Macbook connected to the Wifi, is there anyway I can share that Wifi to my iPhone (either by Wifi, Bluetooth or USB). I have been searching a bit online and haven't had much luck. I have also been playing around with the sharing settings in System Preferences but again, no luck.
The internet service I use is only Wifi, I can't connect it via ethernet or anything else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Harry J
I've never been able to do that, even after a lot of fiddling and searching.
Razmee's suggestion is to take a an Iphone and use cellular to create a hotspot to connect another device and that will provide it access to the net.
Cheers

HT204048 Is there anyway to use internet explorer with active X on my new mac? It is a requirement to log into my office.

I need Active X control through internet explorer in order to remote log into my office for all my business. Is there anyway this can be done for just this one site without going through all of the trouble of setting up a whole other windows system & using bootcamp that I found information on?

You can use a virtual machine
Mind you both boot camp and a virtual machine would not give osx access
