My brother in law who is visiting us tells me that his iPhone 3G does not let him use SKYPE anymore. Is that the case?
Hi,
My brother in law who is visitng me in the US from Germany has iphone 3G. He tells me he can no longer
use SKYPE on the phone app. Is that the case?
I believe the latest update of the Skype app requires a version of iOS that the iPhone 3G is not capable of running. The 3G maxes out at 4.2.1.

My brother-in-law recently passed away. My sister gave his MacBook Pro to my niece. When she opens and starts the laptop, it shows my brother-in-laws name. Is there a way to change his name to her name without formatting the device and starting over?
BigTex415,
my condolences for your family’s loss. If all she seeks to do is to change the display name, and she’s willing to leave the account name unchanged, then she could do the following: log in as the administrative user and open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. If the padlock in the lower-left corner is locked, unlock it. Select the account that shows your brother-in-law’s name on the left-hand side of the window, and then on the right-hand side, change the text in the “Full name” textbox to her preferred display name. If desired, click on the padlock in the lower-left corner to relock it. -
Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom in iOS 7? I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.
Hello Apple.
It seems you have gone to great lengths to improve accessibility in many areas of the iPad. Why was this obvious problem with icon text size missed? (It's not with the Mac.). And for so long too.
Do you employ people with actual accessibility problems to help you do UI design?
I think too, that some buttons are too close for people who might have motor control problems.
I love my iPad but I fear as I age, the iPad might not keep up with me. -
I inherited an iMac from my brother-in-law who removed his old password and has forgotten the temporary one he installed. How can we unlock the computer?
Resetting or changing a password:
For Snow Leopard or earlier: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
For Lion or later: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6022
This is also useful:

If it's running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert a Mac OS X install DVD, restart with the Option key held down, click on it, and use the Reset Password utility.
If it's running Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, open the Terminal, and use the resetpassword command:

If it the Keychain password that needs resetting:

If the computer has a firmware password set, contact Apple. -
I lost my Iphone 3GS. My brother has given me his Iphone 4 now. We both use the same notebook to update and sync our phones. I would like to know how can i reconnect back to my account using the Iphone which was previous used by my brother.
If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

Hi everyone, i got my iPhone 5S in Macedonia for 600 € and someone who lives in Germany tells me that my iPhone is not as good as 5S's that have been produced for Germany or in any state like Germany , does it mean that is not original someone to help me ?
All iPhones are manufactured in the same factory in China, all are the same quality for every country of sale.
But the LTE/4G bands are different for different countries so may not work back in Germany. In addition, the warranty is only valid in the country of sale, so you will not have warranty support in Germany...unless Macedonia is part of the EU and then the warranty is valid for all EU states. -
I have both the iPhone and New iPad and I was under the impression when sending a text it went from iPhone to iPhone or iPad to iPad. Also, if I send a text from my iPad to someone who only has the iPhone, it comes in on their iPhone. However, I received a text from an individual who only has an iPhone and it came to my iPad and never showed up on my phone...Which means had I not been at home I would not have known I had a text on my iPad???? How does it determine which device it will appear on?
You are probably right - I don't have my iPad with me and was confusing myself. But on the iPad it is receive at email addresses only.
Sending to the phone number will mean ONLY your iPhone gets the message. If you want it to go to ALL devices, then you should have them send to the email address associated with the AppleID you used to set up iMessage originally. Also set that email address up as your caller id on the iPhone so as you send out messages, people will reply to that and both your devices should get them.
Although Apple's notes indicate you should be able to do it - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
what if you just type in a 10-digit phone number on the iPad instead of an email?
(I originally did all this with iOS 5.0, and I know then the number did not work on an iPad, but maybe with iOS 5 updates, it does now?) -
How can I see who is connected to my Airport Express? Airport utility does not provide it
Dear community,
I'm highly surprised by the difficulties to find a simple request… I look on the web, and find some old topic about it, suggesting "Airport Management Tool" which is the old version of the Airport utility on my OSX 10.8.5, so I cannot install it. I have the lasted Airport utiity firmware and software (6.3.1).
I'm pretty sure Apple have a simple way to do it, without downloading any extra software.
Thank you for your time, I hope you can help me out.
Best regards !Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utillty

Is there anyway I can manually unlock this phone to allow my O2 sim card to be used? It is a sim for iphones as mine got stolen and I got a replacement sim. Ideally I would like to do this myself without having to take the phone to an independant shop who will charge me silly prices. My brother in law has contacted Orange and they tell him that he has to speak to Carphone Warehouse from where he bought the phone... yet they are saying that they do not unlock phones and there is info on apple website on instructions on how to unlock it yourself?
Can anyone shed any light on this?Only the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it if they offer that service. Apple does not unlock phones. Sorry

My brother got his iphone 4s stolen a week or two ago, he didnt have the iphone finder installed at the time. The phone company just gave him a new phone progammed with the same number is there any way of tracking his old phone? If this is relevant whenever i call him and hes on the phone the phone connects to someone else answering machine.
IF he set up find my ip[hone on the ihone itself BEFORE it was stolen ( there is no app, it is a setting) AND it is on AND it has jot been restored, then you may be able to track it using icloud/find my iphone.
Otherwise, there is no way to track it.
