Orange uk will not provide a micro sim replacement

As the title says, if you are still in contract and not eligible for an upgrade yet but were thinking of getting the iPhone 4 on pay as you go and swapping out your normal size contract sim for a micro one orange will not allow it, they said if you buy it on pay as you go that's what it must be used for and under no circumstances will they give you any sim replacement apart from for the same sim as you have at the moment. If you are on o2 your in luck as they will be letting you swap the sim if required.

hmm someone else on another forum said this
"Just got off the phone with Orange to see if they could send me a Micro Sim to use when I purchase the iPhone 4 and the short answer was yes.
HOWEVER she did say that for customers such as myself who are currently on a monthly contract with them using a normal sim card who want to get their account details moved over to a micro sim will have to change their tarriffs slightly. She said that the terms and conditions they have been given state that customers must move to an iPhone4 tarriff which is an extra £10 per month but does come with unlimited internet (thats actually 750mb as we all know) and free BT Openzone WiFi, in order to get your existing number account details moved to the new Micro sim.
I was on a 1200 min £35 contract which with the new iPhone4 tarriff will take it up to £45, but have decided to offset some of the cost by lowering my tarriff to a £30 900 min per month, therefore totaling a £40 which the iPhone add-on.
It is a bit annoying that they aren't simply doing what O2 are by offering an online service that you just enter the new sims SSN code into and it copies the details over for you for free, but I didnt fancy cutting the card, screwing it up and not having any use of a phone till a replacement normal sim arrives, as Orange say they wont replace lost big size sims with Micro sims."
When you say "Update: just spoke to orange again and they said this is now possible to swap your current iPhone contract sim for a microsim, so have just preordered" did you mean "Update: just spoke to orange again and they said this is now possible to swap your current FULLSIZE contract sim for a microsim, so have just preordered" ?
I dropped Orange an email about this earlier on in the week so will post what they say.

My ipad does not find my micro sim card? Whats wrong?

my ipad does not find my micro sim card. Whats wrong

Where did you get the phone? If it was hacked or jailbroken prior to the update, this is pretty typical. If that's the case, it's now a brick.

My mac desktop will not provide sound from internal speakers. when I go to audio devices window it only shows airplay. How can I get internal speakers back.

My mac desktop will not provide sound from internal speakers. When I go to audio devices window it only shows airplay. How can I get internal speakers back.

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

HT201407 I can not activate iphone because previous user will not provide his apple ID

I am having difficulty activating an iphone that my employer owns, but a previous employee who was using this phone has left the organisation and will not provide his apple ID. Can you please help me?

If the iPhone is using iOS 7 there is absolutely nothing you can do...the Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that you cannot bypass.
Apple will OT get involved...you have to find a way to get the Apple ID from the previous user.

My iphone will not turn on after I replaced the battery

My iphone will not turn on after I replaced the battery, itunes logo comes up, but it will not connect and does not reset! does anyone know what I can do?

Who replaced the battery, you, Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider? If you did it yourself, then you could have done anything to disable it. It also voids any warranty and post-warranty support from Apple and the forum. You are on your own. If Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider replaced it, then take it back and have them check it.
The iPhone does not have a user replaceable battery, or user serviceable parts. It is meant to only be serviced by Apple, or authorized service providers.

Firefox 4RC will not permit Trend Micro Toolbar

Firefox 4RC will not permit the operation of the Trend Micro Toolbar add-in, this feature worked OK in Version 3.6

This happens with every major Firefox upgrade. I went through this when upgrading from 2 to 3. For some reason it breaks certain third party plugins. It breaks my password manager, too. It takes months for an update from the vendors. I cannot believe that Firefox can't warn companies before making drastic changes. The big problem is that these are major security protection measures which are disabled by the browser. It is tiresome to have to tweak settings and disable critical extensions with each new upgrade.

I have just ordered an iPhone 4s from the UAE store. Will I need a micro-sim or will any sim work?, I have just ordered an iPhone from the UAE store. Will I need a micro-sim or will any sim work?

....

The iPhone 4/4S requires a Micro SIM for activation on a GSM network.
When you receive the phone, you will find that the tray that holds the Micro SIM Card is too small to hold a SIM Card.
Some people may say to cut down a normal size SIM card, but I would recommend against this as the connections inside the phone that connect with the Micro SIM are delicate and easily damaged by non-standard Micro SIM cards.

Bbm will not work with a sim card

My BBM will only work on WIFI without a sim card in the phone.. I have a Blackberry Classic. When i take my sim card out my BBM works great. The app store works as well it only seems to be BBM. any suggestions on what I can do to fix this

Only if you buy an unlocked iPhone 5S which are ONLY available from Apple on-line or Apple Retail Stores in UK
You would have no warranty outside UK and the LTE(4G) will not work in China
3G should be OK

Navigation on 6110 will not start for Virgin Sim

Hi,
Just bought a 6110 on ebay, navigation works fine on my optus Sim, but if I swap to my wife's virgin sim the navigator will not start.
Any ideas?

It sounds as simple as the phone is locked to Optus.

Replacement phone has iOS 7.2 backup from old phone is in iOS 7.1 it will not allow me to restore replacement phone to backup, anyway around this?

Replacement phone has iOS 7.2 installed backup was created in ios 7.1 anyway to restore replacement phone with my backup files? I tried updating the software on the broken phone but it says it is up to date.

You must mean that the replacement iPhone has iOS 7.0.2 since there is no 7.2 version, 7.1 is the current version. If your backup was created with iOS 7.1 it will not restore to an iOS 7.0.2 iPhone. If the iPhone will not update to 7.1 for you, take it back to the Apple store and have the genius bar staff update it so you can restore your backup.

Problem w/iMovie if you renamed a soundtrack that was used in a project. Will appear a warning sign and will not sound even if you replace or drag a new soundtrack.

Let's say you have a project in iMovie and after you include your imported videos, pictures, etc, then you add a couple of soundtrack songs from your iTunes Library. It works fine!.
If for some reason, later on, you decide to rename the soundtrack song in your iTunes library, when you return to iMovie it will display a yellow warning sign at the begining of the soundtrack or (voice over file) and it will not play the song. You cannot hear it.
Of course I guess it is due to a "missing" reference (as you renamed the one that you iniitally used).
The logical step would be to either deleted or replace that song in your iMovie project and drag the one with the "new name" or even a newone or different one.
It still not playing or you can not hear the audio.
Note that from this point on, any song that you want to add to your project it will simply not sound. If you have in this project other soundtrack songs that were not renamed, it will still sound in your project. I mean, you can still hearing all those that were previously working and you did not make the "mistake" of renaming or modifying some information of your song. BUT, ANY sound, song, voice over, that you want to include, add, replace, etc. WILL SIMPLY NOT WORK.
It is like you have been denied to add or replace or re-arrange any sound from now on ON THIS SPECIFIC project as you may create new project and those song will work fine in the new project.
The problem is that take a lot of work if you have to start your project from zero again. (The "Duplicate Project" option will simply not work as it "duplicate" the problem).
In other project I was working, now I realize that did happen exactly the same, but a that time it was related with still pictures. (I guess I changed "something" or deleted one of the still pictures) and from that point on, any still picture that I wanted to include in the project, It allows me to drag it but when you try to play it, iMovie just ignore it. It appears in the project sequence but simply is not displayed in the movie.

Hello tmock,
Welcome to the forum. It certainly would be an odd experience to attempt a common occurrence such as a simple exchange of the headphones you received as a gift for another item, and have it almost result in authority involvement! It sounds like the sales associate might have made a mistake processing the transaction, and I can understand not wanting to leave your gift behind with the uncertainty that you would ever hear from anyone again. I truly apologize for any unpleasant experience this may have caused.
I would be happy to look into this further to see if I can help you get the PS4 you wanted as an exchange, so if you could send me the information of the store you visited, I would appreciate it very much. Once I have this information, I will follow up with you as soon as possible.
Thank you for visiting the forum to share your feedback, and I look forward to continuing to work with you.

Newly-unlocked iPhone 4 will not activate with new sim card

I recently bought a used iPhone 4 from a friend and brought it with me to Cambodia. The friend initited a request to AT&T to unlock the phone so I could use it, and the request was granted by AT&T. She forwarded me the email with instructions, but I have not been able to successfully complete the unlock. The instructions say:
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC and verify that you have Internet connectivity.
Ensure a SIM card is inserted into your iPhone.
Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone.
Backup and restore your iPhone using iTunes. For information on backup and restore, please visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.
After restoring, your iPhone will be unlocked.
When I try this, it refuses to recognize that there is a SIM card installed.
The instructions don't say it has be any particular SIM card, just "a SIM card" so I'm using my local SIM. I also tried a second SIM with the same result.
Any ideas why this isn't working or what I should try next?

I can't even get to an option that asks me that question. I don't want any of the data on the phone now, as that is my friend's data, but I can't even get to a place where I can delete her data or anything else.
All I get is the "activation" screen options (choose language, country, wifi network) and then the error message that "Activation Failed - please insert a SIM card."
I'm not sure if that clarifies exactly what you're asking, My apologies if it doesn't, and try asking me again.
