Just bought a new phone, and now I'm trying to activate it.
Hi,
Just got my new Blackberry in the mail, my old one is completely dead and I have all it's info backed up but not synced on my computer. Every time I call *228 I go through the activation process until it asks me for my password, which is when I try talking to CS. I get a busy signal and the call ends. So how do I activate my new phone/ put all my contacts on my new phone from the restore file I have for the old one?
Thanks
Do you not know the billing password? It's a 4 digit code that you set at some point when setting up accounts - it may be the last 4 of your SSN - you can try activating the phone online through your MyVerizon account.
Or you can call CS from a landline or other phone (800-922-0204) and see if they can activate it using the ESN inside the phone.
Once the phone is activated, you should be able to use your backups to get your new phone in working order.

I just bought a new iMac and now I amtrying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don’t have a MiniDisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don’t have. Isthere any way to connect this two mac’s anyway??
Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system. 10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines. Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist. There are no Firewire to USB cables. -

I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive. What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?
If the entire library is on the external drive then simply copy the iTunes folder into <User's Music> on the new computer, then install iTunes. If you've already installed iTunes you will want to remove the empty iTunes folder in <User's Music> first.
If it turns out you only have the media folder on the external drive then take a look at this post...

Just bought a new pc and now my itunes library hasn't got all the songs on it after logging in
i had a very full i tunes library on my old pc, i have bought a new laptop and have transferred everything over to the new pc but when logging into itunes there isnt half the songs we own on there, i thought it was all on a cloud and can access on any pc? i have authorised my new pc to my account and sync all ipods we own, but i want all my songs in my itunes library
any helpIf you transferred "everything" over then that should have included your iTunes library. However the default location for an iTunes library may be different in Windows 7 from your previous version, or the copied data may not be in the correct location. Your library won't be in the cloud yet. As far as I'm aware the full service isn't active yet.
If you can find the iTunes library folder within the files that were transferred then you can either move it into the "correct" location, or persuade iTunes to connect to it where it is now. Alternatively transfer your iTunes library from your old computer, assuming you haven't disposed of it already.

Bought a new phone and now we can not receive incoming calls
This week I bought a new Panasonic cordless handset with no answering machine to replace our AT&T desk phone. I set it all up and waited the 7 hours for it to charge. Checked for dial tone, ringer, and volume. Called the house # from my cell phone and the screen on the Panasonic never showed an incoming call - kicked into voice mail (provided by Verizon) after the preset 5 rings so I left a test message. Panasonic screen showed a "1 new voice mail message". I was able to dial the voice mail access phone # and listen to my test message. Disconnected the new handset and reconnected our old phone - worked just fine. Returned the Panasonic to the store where purchased and exchanged for another (same model). Sales assoc. said there may be a code needed from Verizon. Spent hours on the phone attempting to speak to a real person at the customer service # and decided none work there anymore - everything was automated! After "4 digit pin" frustrations I gave up!
So if you've read this far and can help I'd sure appreciate it! Line works fine, old phone works fine, checked ringer/volume on new phone. Only working phone jack in the house (used to have 2 but when we contracted with V last year they only changed over one - another frustration). And how can I find out when our contract is up?!?Your mostly talking to peers here. Better off using the
http://www22.verizon.com/support/residential/contact-us/index.htm
option which is on all the Verizon pages. Should always lead you to phone numbers (1-800-verizon) and often an online chat. Sometimes will show you and email option.
As far as peers helping we would need to know what type phone service and general area of the country. Obviously varies as I have had no trouble with panasonic, uniden and other phones at my two locations (NY and FL). -
Bought a new phone and now I can't turn off FindMyPhone or iCloud from the other device.
I'm trading in my old phone and need to clear my personal info from it and turn off FindMyPhone before I do so. I've looked up how to turn off FindMyPhone, but it keeps telling me that it can't connect to iCloud or that my password/username is incorrect. Can I just restore my phone to the factory settings to clear everything off the phone? If not, can you help me with with getting my old device where it needs to be so I can turn it in?
After hours of working to reset my phone, I finally was able to turn off FindMyPhone and reset it. Sorry, I don't know how to delete my previous question.

I have just bought a new computer and downloaded itunes. I plugged in my iphone and upgraded to the newest itunes/ synched etc. Now have no music or apps on the phone. Contacts, texts, photos all fine. Just all itunes content that is missiing. It isn't showing in my itunes account on my computer or on my phone. Any idea how to get it back? (No point synching with itunes on my computer as it isn't there either!)
I suggest copying your entire iTunes library to your new computer, also you might want to copy the photos you want to save. Then sync your device to the new iTunes and copy over your music, documents and photos that you want.
If you are no longer going to use the old computer you should open up iTunes on the old computer and use the menu to deauthorize it. Be sure to use the same iTunes menu on your new computer to Authorize the new one. -
I need to change the home folder name. I just bought this mac today and my cousin put his name in because he had to back up his phone while we were still at the store so he could get a new phone and now my brand new imac says his name in the home folder. This is very frustrating. I would not have let him put his name in there if I didn't think you could change it. Someone please help!
Delete his user account and create your own, using your name.

I have just bought a new iPhone and gave my old one to my Mum. My problem is that even with a new SIM and phone number I seem to be getting her messages as well as mine on my thread. They are also being recorded as both sent and received so she must be paying twice for each SMS sent. Help please
Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
There are a few steps to do:
Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.

just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now
I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
I hope this helps you my friend! -

I just bought a new Iphone and when I connected it to itunes and I downloaded the backup from my last device, now I can't pass this step and every time I connect it to itunes is the same thing. And I can't download any app because problems with my account regarding the credit card but the information is correct and it says it is not!!!
You'll have to contact iTunes store support regarding your credit card information problem: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html. I'm not clear on what you're saying about your backup. Are you saying that when you connect to iTunes it's asking you to restore from backup even though you already have?
