New iPhone, Different Carrier. Does this affect Backup
Does changing carriers when I get a new iPhone affect a Backup & Restore?
I currently have an iPhone 5 on AT&T. My new iPhone 6 Plus arrives in a few days, but I'm going with T-Mobile this time. I'm planning on doing a "Backup & Restore" using iTunes, but I'm unclear about how that works since I'm going with a different carrier for the new iPhone. Other than that poorly designed AT&T app, will any AT&T settings or info be restored to my new T-Mobile iPhone?
I understand how to transfer my content from my iPhone 5 to my new iPhone 6. I just wanted to make sure that in the process, I wasn't restoring AT&T settings or info. The page you linked to doesn't mention anything about when the old and new iPhone are on different carriers.
You say the carrier is "not important." Does any of the old carrier info get restored to the new phone?

Does anyone know how to use the earphones( plugs) that come with iPhones?
Mine is still fairly new and I am just learning how to use certain things.They're pretty straightforward. You plug them into the headset jack (the hole on the top left of your phone). You put the buds in your ears. All sounds, except for the phone ringing will now come through the earbuds.

Have you activated your phone with your carrier yet?

I have a new hanset as my previous one ws damaged and everything was lost. When backing up which option should I use "set up as a new iphone or, restore from this , back up Jo's iphone"..
Thanks.You may do whatever you like.
If you want to set it up using the backup of your old iphone then choose that.
If you do not then choose as new. -
I have to upgrade to Wiindows 8.1 because of the XP problem. Does this affect my iPad?
What xp problem?
Xp works. Just because Microsoft will not be providing updates, this will not change. If you use common sense, which is required for any OS, you are perfectly safe.
If you "upgrade" to windows 8, it is possible iTunes will see the computer as new and require you to resync your devices.
Make sure you backup your iTunes library to an external drive. -
I use Adobe CS 6 to edit and I use Sony NX 3 to record. Every time I import my clips. It has a yellow line on the timeline sequence, even when I make new clip from the sequence.. My question is, does this affect my video quality output if i did not render the yellow line out? Please someone help me
Please see this link for more info about red and yellow bars - http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2011/02/red-yellow-and-green-render-bars.html
If you shoot 1080p, you will likely have better results going to DVD than if you start with 1080i. It's hard enough downscaling with decent quality, then if you add in interlacing issues...
When exporting from Premiere to create a DVD, choose "MPEG-2 DVD" as the format, and then choose a preset such as "NTSC Widescreen Progressive".
There is a checkbox at bottom of export window for "Max Render Quality" - use that for best downscaling results.
Use 2-Pass VBR encoding. Use a bitrate calculator to determine best bitrate for length of movie, or quick option is 560/minutes = bitrate. But don't exceed 8.0 on shorter movies. I typically round down a little for safety margin, such as 560/120 = 4.6, encode at 4.5 and no worries.
The export will result in TWO files, .m2v video and .wav audio, import both into Encore for authoring. Encore will convert the .wav to Dolby AC3, reducing file size. Video should NOT get transcoded. And as others said, don't expect HD quality when viewing a DVD...definitely not HD video any longer. But do be sure to use an upscaling player, this makes all the difference. If you run a yellow composite cable from DVD to TV, it will look horrible. Use HDMI with upscaling DVD/Blu-ray player for improved result.
Good luck

I plugged in the iphone 5 to PC via itunes what should i do between Set up as new iphone or Restore from this back up? i just want to transfer all my purchased apps and contacts to my new iphone? don't want to screw thing up. Please help..... thanks
Is this a new iPhone?
If so, when connecting a new iPhone to iTunes for the first time that has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.
If you don't want to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, select set up as a new iPhone. No existing data or settings will be erased or changed when selecting as a new iPhone. Not that difficult or difficult at all. -
The following message popped up on my MacBook Air: Your Apple ID and phone number are now being used for iCloud on a new iPhone. What does it mean?
Hi SLCfromMadison,
This is the message that you'll receive when your Apple ID is signed into on an iPhone. If you haven't done so, the article linked below details a number of steps that can help verify the security of your Apple ID should you think that an unauthorized person has access to it.

Is the new iPhone 4 carrier locked?
Hi guys, i am from jamaica, i was planing to buy one when it comes out... want to know if the new iPhone 4 carrier locked?
You don't have the right to buy service where you want, you have the choice to buy service where it's available. Mobile phones are not a right, they are a privilege. Apple has not restricted your ability to choose... you can choose any other phone you like. Apple is not forcing you to buy their phone.
The entitlement attitude never ceases to amaze me.
Hmmm, with that attitude, I guess you're ok with collusion, monopolies, and anti-competitive practices, right? I mean, companies providing any goods or services should be able to work together and jack up prices, stifle competition, stamp out innovation, and reduce quality. After all, you're not forced to use/buy them!
It certainly makes sense to me to be able to buy any phone I want and use it on any network I want. You don't agree? In other countries, it's against the law to lock phones to providers.
How'd you feel if you had a Honda and could only buy Honda gas at a Honda gas station, and the same was true for all the other manufacturers?
There are times when the government has to step in and correct things like this. Feeling entitled is a good thing. -

I am looking into Buying Retail a New Blackberry Q10. Doing this to avoid having to Give up my old Data Plan. Have read that when you activate a new Phone it forces you to pick a new Plan. Is this True? and How to I avoid this? Any other advise in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
20 Year Plus Verizon ClientThe only "unlimited" plan I can think of where this would not apply is the old Connect plan for multimedia/basic phones. That unlimited data, on devices such as the LG Voyager, EnvTouch, and other "multimedia" devices is not the same.
If you currently have an individual $29.99 unlimited data plan with a 3G Smartphone, then you can buy a BBQ10 retail and activate it with the same data plan and keep the unlimited. -

How to quantify decimal fraction in Java
I have a float variable and I want to display it to nearest 0.25. For example 23.8256 should be converted in to 23.75 and 23.8879 to be converted to 24. Is there a library available in Java to to this or I have to write my own function?
