Move number to be discontinued to new iPhone which has another number; both under same account.

I have an old phone that has an expired contract. I want to discontinue using this phone. I have an iPhone that has a different number that is under a new 24 month contract. Both phones are under the same account along with two other phones on a family plan. I want to change the phone number on the iPhone to the number I have been using on the old phone. Is there a way to do this without paying a penalty for not fullfilling the existing contract on the iPhone?

Why can't you tranfer the iPhone to the other line and the current(old) phone to your line. Is this an iPhone restriction? As long as you keep both lines you should be able to do this, unless of course it is a restriction of the iPhone purchase.
I agree with lewisr13. You say nothing in your original post about terminating the line that the iPhone is currently using. Why can't you activate an old phone on the line currently in use with the iPhone. Then activate the iPhone on the line you want it to use. The only problem that I can see with this is that if you currently have unlimited data with the iPhone and you do NOT have unlimited data on the line you want to switch it to, then the iPhone will no longer have unlimited data.
But if in fact you did want to terminate the line with the iPhone and not reactivate another phone on that line, then you WOULD have to pay an ETF for that line.
I am sorry, I read it that the person wanted to kill the iPhone line when he moved the phone to the line with an expired contract.

Hello Fanzaria,
Congratulations on your new computer! It sounds like you are trying to transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod to iTunes on your computer, but you are repeatedly getting an authorization prompt.
Is it possible that some of these songs were purchased with an Apple ID you may have been using at another time? You mentioned that you don’t see these purchases under your past purchases in the iTunes Store. I recommend checking to see if they are hidden under your current Apple ID using the steps in the section titled “To unhide your purchases” in the following article:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4919
If you are not seeing all the songs you expect to see after checking for hidden purchases, I recommend searching for an older Apple ID that you may have used. Use the steps in this article to find your Apple ID:
Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625
If you find an alternate Apple ID that you used, authorize iTunes with that Apple ID:
Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
I also recommend reviewing the following article for the issue you are experiencing. I recommend reviewing the full article but specifically the section to Remove the SC Info folder:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How can i sync my iphone with itnes on a new pc. when i tried to sync it said it will erase the contents on my iphone to sync with the new pc which has no contents

my old pc was running low in memory and i don't have enough space to back up in order to instal iOS5. so i got a new pc, installed itunes on it but when i tried to sync my iphone on the new pc, it said it'll erase all contents on my iphone and sync with the new pc which has no contents. it says iphone can only sync with one machine.
can you pls help

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

How do I go about transferring my iPhone 4s to another number on my plan?

I want to transfer my iPhone 4s to another number on my account and that phone to this number. In what order should I perform this task and how do I deal with the transfer of contacts. The other device is a LG ENV and has been backed up using vzbackup. The existing iPhone has been backed up to the cloud but will use a different apple ID when transferred.

Use a different phone and call *611 for them to switch them so you can keep the insurance if you have any.

HT201274 I was given an iphone 4s by my sister as she got a new one, now i want to clear it so that i can set it up with my own details, if i erase all content and settings will this affect anything on her new iphone as it is synced to the same gmail acco

I was given an iphone 4s by my sister as she got a new one, now i want to clear it so that i can set it up with my own details, if i erase all content and settings will this affect anything on her new iphone as it is synced to the same gmail account

her contacts are connected directly with the Google Server so as long as they are saved to her Gmail account she should be 100% fine.. the only contacts she may lose are the ones that she added directly onto the phone and did not sync to her Gmail account.. so you should just double check with her on that

I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??

I have moved to uk from ireland and bought new iphone, set up using my existing Apple ID account and profile but won't let me buy install or update apps??
Can anyone advise me on what I need to do?
My existing account is linked to ireland as my bank account details are there, does this make a difference?
Please help!

Until you get a UK bank account and credit card, buy and redeem UK iTunes gift cards for use in the iTunes and Mac App Stores. But you need to switch your region/country to the UK store in your account information, as you can't use UK iTunes gift cards in the Irish stores, the gift cards are country specific.

My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.

By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

TS1398 My new Iphone 5 is in wi-fi mode but not connecting to my home network.I am certain that it is not my router since my wifes new Iphone 5 has no problem connecting.I dont get to the point of entering my password as a pop up tells me "uable to join..

My new IPhone 5 does not pick up my home network.My wife's new Iphone 5 has no such issue.I get a message "unable to connect' although the correct network appears.Never get to the prompt screen asking for my network password.Keeps trying to connect but never does.Have switched on /off button and turnesd off phone back on several times.

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Power cycle the router.

I recommend reaching out to Citrix via their support system -

The receiver app has a specific list of servers it's compatible with, if the server is not on the list the app won't work in OS X.
