Just imagine how many more iPhones Apple would sell if....

Just imagine how many more iPhones Apple would sell if they allowed you to buy them as gifts.
Seriously, the only way to purchase one as a gift is if you pay the non-contract price which is astronomical (over $600).
I know they need the account owner to be there to sign and activate the new phone, but there should be a way you can buy it as a gift at the upgrade price (assuming you know they're eligible) and AT&T gives you a window of time to have the person come in and activate it.
And before you ask, I don't do gift cards. I like giving real gifts. It would've been great to give both my sister and her husband iPhones for Christmas, but I'm not allowed.

You need to bring this up with AT&T, as it has nothing to do with Apple. AT&T is the one that is subsidizing the price, and they have their own requirements that must be fulfilled in order to get that price.

  • How many unlocked  iphones can i buy at apple store, how many unlocked  iphones can i buy at apple store

    sir how many unlocked  iphones 4S can  i buy at apple store at a time ?? Sir And Also can i sell if i don't like it....

    The online Apple Store has a limit of two iPhone 4S units per purchaser. I would suspect that the physical Apple Stores have the same limit. But as Tim said, you need to call the Apple Store from which you would like to purchase and ask, though again, they almost certainly will not have any in stock.
    Regards.

  • I already have my iPod, iPhone and iPad synched to iTunes on my PC.  How many more iOS devices can I add (is there a limit)?

    I already have an iPod, iPhone and iPad connected to and synching via my Windows PC.  Can I add other iOS devices? How many more?  Will this all chance once iCloud becomes official?

    No limit to devices. The limit for authorized computers however is 5. iCloud has not been released yet but I should think not.

  • How many more months do I have on my 2 yr contract?

    How many more months do I have on my 2 yr contract?

    You can dial #UPG (#874) on your handset to hear/receive a text that tells you when you can upgrade, which is likely to be the end of your current contract, although some things may have happened that would change it so the upgrade date and contract end date are not the same.
    Or you can log on to your account at VerizonWireless.com, and if you are the account owner, you can see the contract end date for your line or all the lines (if a shared account)

  • ESATA vs FW800 = how many more tracks of audio in Pro Tools?

    I'm not talking about video editing here, only audio...
    Comparing the throughput of FW800 to the added speed of eSATA, How many more tracks of digital audio would it realistically add in a recording program with normal settings (44.1+, stereo tracks)?
    How many should I speculate that I'll get with normal/reasonable amounts of plug ins running with FW 800?
    The reason I ask is this... Pro Tools LE maxes at 32 tracks, or 48 if you add the upgrade. I'm thinking that FW800 will already be exceeding that, so I have no need to consider the added costs of eSATA.
    I built a rather monsterous PC desktop to use with Pro Tools 6.9, and the very first thing the manual instructed me to do was to DISable hyper-threading (& cut the performance in half or so) before installing. And it would handle 32 tracks with plug ins no problema. It had SATA internal drives - SATA I mind you, not SATA II, which is now standard. And that was a single core P4, 3.2 Ghz. That dang thing heated up my room so bad that I had to install a window unit and leave it permanently set with thermostat control. LOL AHHH, the bliss of my MBP 17" - quiet, and MUCH cooler by comparison. I also ditched the 19" tube monitor that was adding heat as well. New Cinema display will be here in a week. Can't WAIT to dual-screen at such a higher resolution. It's gonna be screen real-estate for days. But back to the drive speeds...
    It seems that I'm already overkill for what I want to do, and don't want to spend more money chasing speed that's more in the realm of video editing.

    i think you will do fine with fw400.

    My question to those reading this. How many more posts do you think it will take for the issue to really be fixed? 100??
    You need to know that this isn't a support forum.  It was created by Verizon as a place for customers to help each other.  You can post all you want, but Verizon doesn't respond to issues here.  If you want to get a message to Verizon you need to call or chat with them.
    Occasionally, the Verizon moderators will escalate specific customer issues to their support team, but I wouldn't count on any posts here resulting in any action from Verizon.  Note that the strongest message you can send Verizon is to send them less or zero money as a result of downgrading or canceling your service.
    Now, if you'd like help from other users post some details.  There are a bunch of helpful people lurking here just waiting to jump in.  But you have to give us a real issue and not a complaint about Verizon.
    Good Luck.

  • How many thousands of Apple TV users have to scream their complaints before Apple will respond to the fury over the impossibly slow download speeds of movies bought through iTunes??????

    How many thousands of Apple TV users have to scream their complaints before Apple will respond to the fury over the impossibly slow download speeds of movies bought through iTunes?

    As jules says, your rate (currently at least) may be slow.
    If it used to be good I wonder is your ISP is slowing ('throttling') your speed after you've used so many GB of a quota each day or month - check what they think you should be getting as a download speed.
    While Apple's servers do occasionally play up, it's generally the ISP being slow not Apple.
    If you're using Google's DNS servers that has caused issues for some.
    Recommended speeds for near instant playback:
    SD         2.5Mbps
    720p      6 Mbps
    1080p    8 Mbps
    Is your speed test from somewhere like speedtest.net?
    It might be helpful to post Mbps to ensure we/you are not confusing speeds by using different units to those measured.

  • I have forgotten my restrictions pass code on my ipad 2. I've made 20 attempts to remember. How many more will I get? There is no way I'm wiping it. It's is just ridiculous. Why can't they find a way to re-set it for you!?!

    I'm certain I have actually entered the password I chose as I have only 3 that I ever use. I have now tried 20 times and not guessed it. I did not realise that restricting adult content would mean I can't use any apps that use adult content occasionally, e.g I assumed I would still be able to use BBC iPlayer but that it would not be possible for my daughter or anyone else to access programmes of an adult content. Wrong. It stops you from using the app at all just because some programmes have that content. In true Apple style there was no warning of this beforehand. Just as there was no warning before I set the passcode that if I forgot it, I'd have to wipe the device. I'm getting pretty fed up with Apple all told. When I my first iPhone fell into a drain it took 3 hour long calls from London to California just to get my photos back on the phone when they should have been there automatically. It then took 10 months to recover the music which should have again been there automatically.
    Please, does anybody know how many times I can try guessing the passcode before something awful happens, like it wipes the content anyway? I only really use the iPad to watch tv and now I can't even do that! My apple devices have caused me nothing but woe. The whole system is so unbelievably un-user friendly.
    Any advice very welcome indeed.
    Thanks

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • How many times will Apple attempt to fix a computer?

    I realize my Powerbook G4 is older and the lower memory slot has gone out for the second time in six months. It will be going in tomorrow and I'm sure it will be gone for another week. It seems that others have had similar experiences and I'm curious how many attempts Apple will make before they simply replace it. I had a lemon a number of years ago and Apple eventually made it right.

    Try complaining to customer service. Tell them how unhappy you are with your Mac experience and start insisting for compensation, but you can settle for a new Mac Book Pro. The genius bar has nothing to do with customer service and they will just keep repairing it if you keep taking it there.

  • How many ipods/iphones be synced to one account

    How many times can purchased content be synced to ipods or iphones with one account. I have replaced my iphone about 4 times now and wondering how many times I can sync purchased apps and songs to new devices using the one account. For example, can I have 10 devices using the same account and all purchased content be used on all the devices?
    Thanks for the help!

    How many times can purchased content be synced to ipods or iphones with one account.
    Unlimited except for rented movies, in which case the answer is 1.

  • How many more activations do I have left?

    I have purchased a student package and I am allowed 5 activations on different computers. I have not kept track of how many I have doen, and I want to know how many I have left. I also want to know if I uninstall the program on one computer if it would give me an extra 'activation.' Thanks

    Installation has nothing to doe with activation and unless you explicitly choose to deactivate your software eitehr via Help --> Deactivate or on uninstall, an activation can stick even without actualyl a program in place. The rest is not realyl relevant - if you run out of activations, call support to reset them all and then reactivate as needed. There simpyl is no way to find out otherwise.
