Lost phone, purchased one on ebay .. how do I program it?  *228 isn't working ...

I lost my phone about two months ago.  I purchased the same one used on ebay and now I'm trying to apply my number to it but it's not working.  I usually used *228 to program the rentals I've used for overseas.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What phone are you trying to activate?
If it's a newer, 4G smartphone, then you need a SIM card to connect to the network and activate the phone (they are free at Verizon corporate stores).  *228 activates a phone that uses 3G.

    recently had to purchase a replacement phone a friend of mine had backed up the data on the lost phone to his Mac laptop how do I get that backed up data from the lost iPhone that's on his Mac laptop to my new replacement phone? Please give step by step instructions xoxoxo
    And my iTunes sign in is also screwed up... It is underneath my friends email (the one with my backed up data on his Mac laptop) HOW DO I CHANGE THIS SO THAT I CAN DOWNLOAD APP's again...

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

  • I purchased one photoshop licence, how many computers can install it?

    I purchased one photoshop licence, how many computers can install it? And If you have a limit of computers that can be installed, how can i exceed it? for example, pay addition and ETC. I'm not company, but personal user.

    Two current activations.  If you need more, then you need to pay for a new license.  ISTR a poster in a similar position a month or so back.  I can't remember if he persauded Adobe to change his licens to a Teams Subscription.  What are you hoping to achieve?

  • I drop my phone in a half bowl of water and the touch screen isn't working, and suri keeps coming on. is my phone broken now?

    I dropped my phone in a half bowl of water. The swipe screen isn't working and Suri keeps coming on. Is my phone broken or will it work after it sits in a bowl of rice?

    It is probably broken, but wait and see, it takes several days to dry out. If it does start working that may only be temporary as the iPhone corrodes.

  • I have an iphone5c and I want to get a ringtone without having to purchase one on itunes how do i do that??

    I have an Iphone5c and I want to get ringtones without having to purchase them on itunes because I dont have a credit/debit card. I was told to download music on my computer and put it in itunes and then connect my iphone. I did that and I got the music in my phone but it's just under music and I'm still not able to use it as a ringtone. I was then told to download a ringtone make app and then I can do it that way. So I did that but on the instructions on how to load the ringtone to my computer and then back on to my phone the option that it says I should have itsn't there. Does anyone have anymore ideas??

  • When updating to new IOS on Ipad i lost my purchases in DJ Rig How can i get my old settings back?

    Does anyone know how to reset your old settings or how i can get them to give me the update so i do not have to purchase again.

    Unless the device was backed up prior to restoring the backup from the iPod Touch, there is nothing to restore.
    Just set up the email account again... it's not difficult, but you may need information from your corporate IT dept to set it up.

  • I have 2 ipods, a touch and phone, on one computer.  How do i move the library of the touch to another computer?

    I want to move a library for an iPod touch from one computer to another.  The computer it is currently on also shares another library as well.
    HOw do i move just one of them?

    Are there two seperate libraries? Just do this:
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    Or
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    or copy it for the iPod to the computer/iTunes library

  • I ahve two phones on one apple ID, how can i track them both using find my friend?

    I have an iphone 5 (work phone) and a 4 (home cell) both using the same iCloud and apple log-in. Only my iphone 5 shows up on find my freinds app and when i try to invite the "4" i get an error that you cannot invite yourself (it previously showed up before i got the 5).... I use my 4 for running etc and would like my wife and freinds to be able to track me if i get in trouble or am late for dinner

    You're most likely gonna need another verified email address associated with your Apple ID to make this work. You'd then use that email address on the iPhone 4.

  • One of the USB ports on my Macbook Pro isn't working. Any way I can fix this or will I have to take it into the store to get repaired?

    I bought a Macbook pro this July. Everything has been normal except about a week ago I started noticing I had to plug things in a few times in order for them to connect. Today I realized that one of my USB ports has been the problem, not my devices. THey connect right away when plugged into the right USB port next to the SD slot, but not at all when plugged into the left slot by the firewire hookup. Is this a problem that has a quick fix or am I going to have to go to the mac store?

    Reset the SMC and PRAM
    SMC Reset:
    Shut down the MacBook Pro.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    PRAM:
    Shut down the MacBook Pro.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • How can I program Labview 6.1 to work with AT-MIO-16

    Now I'm working on a project which needs to use an old DAQ board
    AT-MIO-16. The only version of Labview I obtained is Ver.6.1, whose
    NI-DAQ drive(Ver. 6.9.1) does not support AT-MIO-16. Does anyone has
    experience on this?
    Thank you for the help!!

    Our non-plug&play AT-MIO boards were last supported under NI-DAQ 6.1, so that's the version of NI-DAQ you need. Ben's right about the process but since LabVIEW 6.1 came out after NI-DAQ 6.1, you need to do a couple extra things to make the DAQ vi's appear in LabVIEW. See the link below.
    Using Older NI-DAQ Versions (6.8 or Earlier) with LabVIEW 6.0

  • Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes?

    Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes without losing them?

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

    I caught my phone 4. Had to buy a new one, lost all contacts, and calendar photos. how can I recover them?

    What does "I caught my phone 4" mean?
    All contacts, calendars, photos etc should be on your computer as the iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.
    Just sync them to your new iphone.

  • Lost Iphone 3gs, can i buy one on Ebay?

    Hi all,
    I recently lost my iphone 3gs. Id like to purchase a used one on ebay, but Im not sure if I need to purchase a sim card as well. It seems like sellers are selling sim cards on ebay really cheap. Will these work with the iphone, or do I need to buy one from AT&T?
    also, do you recommend I wait for the Iphone 4g to come out? It seems like a used Iphone 3gs 32 GB goes for around $390 on ebay. Any ideas on what the new one might sell for?
    thanks in advance for the help,
    Tom

    I will certainly go to the ATT store, I just hope they will give me a sim. I was told on the phone that it would cost $20 to buy a new sim. If that is the case, I would rather get one on ebay if that is legal. Has anyone had any experience getting a free sim from ATT? Does it depend on who you talk to?
    thanks for all the responses.
    Tom
