My dad has an upgrade with his phone number, can I preorder the iPhone 5s with his number and use it with my phone number?
I want to preorder the iPhone 5s. My personal phone number is not eligible for an upgrade yet, but my day's phone number is. He says that I can use his upgrade. On September 20, 2013 when the online preorder begins, am I able to preorder a phone for myself with my dads number and use it with my own number? How does it all work?
Most carriers will allow you to swap phones between numbers without a problem. Swapping will not change the contract on the number that the phone was ordered for. Nor will it affect eligibility for future upgrades. Of course the "swap" will normally need to be done with phones on the same carrier and is probably easier to do when on the same account.
I do this every year, or rather every other year. I am the techie, my wife not so much. So when the new iPhone comes out, I get it for which ever number is eligible for upgrade and have it activated to my number and then activitate my old phone to her number. I usually go to the phone company store (AT&T in my case) as they have new sims on hand and usually need to use at least one.

I got a Iphone 4S internet like free(UNLOCK) but is not... This Iphone is lock with Orange (SPAIN) How can I unlock the Iphone now¿?
"Ok, but Whats happen if the carrier said that I need the first contract personal information.."
Then you need the first contract personal information.
" I Know that all the companys have to unlock de phone... ¿?¿?"
Not true.
"Apple could help me then¿?¿? unlocking the Iphone beacuse Apple always have the last word...
No. Apple has no part in the decision ot lock or unlock at all. Lock/unlock is 100% the decision of the carrier. Apple has nothing to do with this decision. -
how can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?
Before you make an apple ID with the new email, go to appleid.apple.com. login with your old email and password. change your old email to your new one. Now you can use your new email as your apple id, but beware if you go through the process of creating a new appleid with your new email address you will not be able to attach your old account to your new email.

Can't run the indicPreferences.js in InDesign CS6 and hyphenation issues with Malayalam
I am not able to run the indicPreferences.js in InDesign CS6 in Mac OS X 10.10.2.
But all the apple script is working fine, Also there is a red cross mark is seen next to the script icon (image attached)
I am trying to use Malayalm Unicode fonts with InDesign and it is giving me lot of hyphenation issues, How can I make the text flow with proper spacing in between characters? is this normal when I use justify all?
Suggest me a quick fix please.Which hyphenation dictionary are you using? I have found that in many languages, there is enough divergence in spelling that some words simply cannot be hyphenated, because the hyphenation dictionary expects one spelling and Every Single Speaker of X Language On The Planet expects another.
Also, sometimes InDesign has a hard time recognizing a term typed with combining marks as the same word with precomposed characters.
Lastly: Have you used the settings in the Hyphenation pane to try to force different breaks? I think that the default settings are not appropriate for Malayalam, and I would myself only hyphenate long words. So the default settings are, I think, to hyphenate no fewer than two letters away from a word boundary, in any word with more than five letters. I'd bump that up to words of no fewer than, perhaps, seven to nine letters? And increase the letters-from-word-boundary to 3 or 4. That way only long words get hyphenated. -
how do I remove the iphone finder from off my home screen?
Hold an icon until they all wiggle, the tap the "x" in the corner
The app has nothing to do with tracking the iphone on which it is installed. It only allows you to find your other devices from your iphone. -
Can i buy the iPhone with international sim card, can i buy the iPhone with international sim card
International sim card
I don't know about an international sim card. You can buy the iPhones unlocked in selected countries as they are legally required to sell them unlocked. Such as here in New Zealand. The unlocked iPhones can be used with any carriers micro sim cards.

You'd only get that message if iOS 7.0 Beta was installed on this phone. There is no fix. Either return the phone for a refund, or give it back to your boyfriend & have him get it fixed. -
i have an iphone 5 and my dad has iphone 5s , we want to interchange the phones . how can i exchange the data , contacts , apps and photos ?
Make sure to have a backup of each device, then use the backup to restore the phone after you have set it up as new device, explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)
Check this article about the content of the backup.
iTunes: About iOS backups
Don't forget to deactivate the Activation Lock on both phones:

I am attempting to use my banking mobile device. Each time I take a photo of a check for deposit, it says it cannot read it. I have been successful a few times, but only after numerous attempts. I give the same check to my husband and, using his Droid phone, he takes the photo and it is accepted the first time. I use a dark background, have a steady hand, and include all of the check in the frame as directed. It's so embarrassing. Is there some adjustment I need to make?
I love the camera on this phone. It is sharp and the color is great. I don't understand why this application is so difficult. Anyone else have this problem? There is no problem with my banks' mobile banking. If there was, my husband would have a problem also. Thanks!Tap on the screen to get the camera to autofocus. If the image looks clear to you, but the app isn't accepting it, it's a problem with the app. Delete it and reinstall it. If the issue persists, contact the app developer.

Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running Google Maps app on the phone. SIRI cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Also can anyone tell me the hierarchy of use between the Apple Maps, SIRI, and Google maps when the app is on the phone? How do you choose one over the other as the default map usage? Or better still how do you suppress SIRI from using the Apple maps app when requesting a "go to"?
I have placed an address location into the CONTACTS list and when I ask SIRI to "take me there" it found a TOTALLY different location in the metro area with the same street name. I have included the address, the quadrant, (NE) and the ZIP code into the CONTACTS list. As it turns out, no amount of canceling the trip or relocating the address in the CONTACTS list line would prevent SIRI from taking me to this bogus location. FINALLY I typed in Northeast for NE in the CONTACTS list (NE being the accepted method of defining the USPS location quadrant) , canceled the current map route and it finally found the correct address. This problem would normally not demand such a response from me to have it fixed but the address is one of a hospital in the center of town and this hospital HAS a branch location in a similar part of town (NOT the original address SIRI was trying to take me to). This screw up could be dangerous if not catastrophic to someone who was looking for a hospital location fast and did not know of these two similar locations. After all the whole POINT of directions is not just whimsical pasttime or convenience. In a pinch people need to rely on this function. OR, are my expectations set too high?
How does the iPhone select between one app or the other (Apple Maps or Gppgle Maps) as it relates to SIRI finding and showing a map route?
Why does SIRI return an address that is NOT the correct address nor is the returned location in the requested ZIP code?
Is there a known bug in the CONTACTS list that demands the USPS quadrant ID be spelled out, as opposed to abreviated, to permit SIRI to do its routing?
Thanks for any clarification on these matters.siri will only use apple maps, this cannot be changed. you could try google voice in the google app.

I have a new email address. Changed this on my itunes account. On iPhone deleted old icloud account and created new with new email. I have set find my phone to on. When I download music from itunes it no longer goes to icloud an does not show up on my iphone.
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -
Hello to all my readers.I am still using my Apple G4 1.25 Ghz MDD running Leopard 10.5.8 with iTunes 10.6.3 installed. Can I use an Phone 4s with iOS 5 with this set up? I have read the iPhone iOS 5 user guide and it appears that I can but is anybody actually doing it ? My current phone is a £10 Nokia and I've neither wish nor cash to spend more than a grand upgrading to an intel based machine (at the moment) ! Regards to you all.
If you can find an iPhone running iOS5 and those are the specs for iOS5, there is no reason it should not work.
If you want a more current version of iOS or a more current device, a Windows computer is always an option at significantly less cost.
Granted, there is no requirement to have a computer to use an iPhone. -
My iphone4 has been stuck on the connect to itunes logo for a few hours. I connected it to itunes and it says that the iphone is on recovery mode and that I need to restore it to use it with itunes. I'm afraid that if I restore it I will loose everything help please!!
AT this point whatever data you have on yoru phone is already gone since it is in recovery mode.
However you can restore from your backup, when your phone reboots from recovery.
YOu do have a backup right?
