Is this true re support by phone?

I was told today by Apple phone support that I was entitle to the Apple phone support "for the life of the phone" (what does "life of the phone" mean? When is it slated to "die"?)

i think it just means, as long as you own the iPhone, you have the support for it.

  • I have an older iPhone originally purchased in USA.  I am now in Europe and changed my service provider to a local company (that supports iPhone).  I am told that if I try to update my phone will be frozen.  Is this true?

    I have an older iPHone Type MB384LL probably type 1 or 2 16GB version.  It was originally used in USA with an AT&T account.  I am now in Bulgaria and using a Bulgarian simcard from a local company - MTel.  I am told that if I update the software via iTunes the phone will be disabled as it is not using the original AT&T card (original account closed).  Is this true?  I know that originally all iPhones were tied to a particular service provide, but there has to be a mechanism for dealing with relocating etc.

    Your phone has been hacked to make it work where you now live. Thus, updating software or restoring your phone will re-lock it to AT&T. Since AT&T will not unlock an iPhone for anyone for any reason, there is no way to get your phone officially unlocked. If you update software or restore the phone, you will have to hack it again. This will also require the last AT&T sim card that was used in the phone.

  • I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    Add-ons contain a range of compatible Firefox versions, and Firefox honors the listed range by disabling the add-on if you are trying to run it on an unlisted version.
    I'm sure Yahoo! will update its toolbar eventually, but not every add-on maker supports beta versions of software.

  • I read that Chrome was dropping npapi support - In the article it said that firefox was in December. Is this true? I cannot find a source.

    The article is misleading. As written it looks like it is being blocked, but it is the click to play feature they are talking about.

  • I am looking into Buying Retail a New Blackberry Q10. Doing this to avoid having to Give up my old Data Plan. Have read that when you activate a new Phone it forces you to pick a new Plan. Is this True? and How to I avoid this? 20 Year Verizon Client

    I am looking into Buying Retail a New Blackberry Q10. Doing this to avoid having to Give up my old Data Plan. Have read that when you activate a new Phone it forces you to pick a new Plan. Is this True? and How to I avoid this? Any other advise in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    The only "unlimited" plan I can think of where this would not apply is the old Connect plan for multimedia/basic phones.  That unlimited data, on devices such as the LG Voyager, EnvTouch, and other "multimedia" devices is  not the same.
    If you currently have an individual $29.99 unlimited data plan with a 3G Smartphone, then you can buy a BBQ10 retail and activate it with the same data plan and keep the unlimited.

  • When i try to start Diablo LOD it tells me the platform is no longer supported. Is this true?

    when i try to start Diablo LOD it tells me the platform is no longer supported. Is this true?

    That's exactly why I cloned OS X 10.6.8 onto another partition of my internal drive before installing Lion - so I could boot to it and run things like Diablo II (LOD).
    Old software can't be supported forever. I still have a G4 which boots to OS 9 bcause of things I like to use which can't be used in OS X.
    It's a shame Blizzard elected to write the OS X front end for LOD as PPC software rather than as OS X native software. But, that was their decision, not Apple's.

    Word Processing documents can be opened directly in Pages 4 (AppleWorks 6 only) but this is no longer available from Apple - the new Pages 5 (Mavericks required) does not open AppleWorks documents. (The older version is contained in the iWork '09 box set which may still be available from Amazon and other independent retailers.) Panergy Software's docXConverter v3.2 ($19.95) can convert Appleworks 5 and 6 Word Processing documents to RTF (though it has been reported that it can only handle documents which contain only text, not those which include images or frames). The latest version of the free LibreOffice has announced that it can open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents and an ability to open ClarisWorks documents has been reported: it does appear to be able to handle at least some embedded images.
    Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings). LibreOffice will open simple Draw documents but I found it very unreliable with complex ones.
    Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in the older versions of  Numbers - the new version for Mavericks will not do this. The old version is no longer available from Apple. (Again, the older version is contained in the iWork '09 box set which may still be available from Amazon and other independent retailers.)
    Presentations can be opened directly only in the older versions Keynote; again, the new version for Mavericks will not do this. The old version is no longer available from Apple. (The older version is contained in the iWork '09 box set which may still be available from Amazon and other independent retailers.)
    Nothing will open Database documents. You would need to export the data as ASCII and import it into another database program; you will lose your formatting and calculations will come over as the result, not the calculation.

  • Why does phone say "this device not supported" when charging

    why does phone say "this device not supported" when charging?

    If it is clean connect a 2nd accessory of the same kind to see if you need to replace the accessory or continue troubleshooting the phone.

  • Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 updates

    Anyone else having issues with third party changers saying "this accessory not supported". I get it every time I plug my phone. It only started after the iOS 7 update?

    That's because part of iOS7 had code in it to look for and recognize unsigned cables.
    In other words, Apple knew that people used non-signed ones and didn't care....until last month when they decided to care. People with iOS6 and lower should experience no issues (unless Apple patches those iOS versions) but folks with iOS7 will need to deal with it.

  • I dropped my iphone 4s in water and everything works but the backlight. I have heard rumors that I can take my damaged iPhone into an apple store and trade it in for a new phone and pay the difference. Is this true?

    Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full retail sales price.

  • Have been told if you use the same itunes account with two iphone you will receive each others text messages, is this true

    Have been told if you use the same itunes account on two iphones, you will receive each others text messages, is this true?

    you can use the same itunes id for purchases and so on, but have separate icloud id's for imessaging and all the icloud stuff. it's not preferable, but it isn't a problem either.

    You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

  • I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account both on my itunes and iphone. how do I do this without completely wiping the phone?

    I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account on both my itunes and iphone. How do I do this without completely wiping the phone.
    Also I tried to update to iOS6 and it is asking for my password under my old signin and locked me out of my phone.
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    This explains how to change your ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621.  After changing your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud, delete the existing account (which only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud), then sign back in with the new ID.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the existing account.
    If you are signed into your account on your Mac, you will need to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

  • I've lost all my music since my last computer died. How do I get that music back without having to pay for it? I read somewhere that there is a "form to request to download iTunes purchases again", is this true?

    All of my music is missing from iTunes since my last computer died and had to get a new one.  How do I get that music back without having to pay for it again?  I've read somewhere there is a "form to request to download iTunes purchases again", is this true? 

    Media should be included with the backup of the computer that all users should be creating on a regular basis as part of basic computer/data maintenance.
    In the event that you do not have a backup (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files)
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
    If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content.  They are not required to provide this opportunity.
    It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes.  On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
    The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.  Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.
