Question about iPhone activation

Here in Uruguay there is a Mobile Company called Antel and it not sells CDMA based contracts. If i buy an iPhone i would have to buy a 3G chip, but I'm not sure if that will work on iPhone. I have read that once you put the micro sim in the phone you have to Set it. What kind of setting? Does the iPhone work with any company or need a special kind of service?

Dear Customer Service Team,
I bought a twelve-month Dreamweaver CC program with monthly payment that I have paid via bank transfer and there would be a question about the activation. How could I get the license key with which I can activate my account? I can not find it and now I only have access to the trial version.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Kind Regards,
G. Zsolt

There is no serial number require for Creative Cloud products, you may activate the products using your email address and password which is associated with Adobe. If your Dreamweaver asking for serial number, then make sure you are signing in with correct email address.

iTunes is required to transfer iTunes content from your iTunes library on your computer - music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, 3rd party apps, and selected photos from your computer to your iPhone. iTunes also serves as the sync conduit for contacts and calendar events between your iPhone and the supported address book and calendar application on your computer.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup for your iPhone which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. The backup does not include all data on your iPhone. The backup does not include any iTunes content - music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, or 3rd party apps. All iTunes content on your iPhone should remain in your iTunes library on your computer and the backup doesn't include any photos transferred from your computer. All photos transferred from your computer should remain on your computer as well.
This link provides the data that is included with your iPhone's backup.

Few questions about iPhone 4S

Hi,
Recently I got an iPhone 4S, it is my first new phone in a long time, before this I had an old nokia, so I just have a few questions about it.
I havve read a alot of horror stories about the 4S battery life, mine seems ok, here is what I would like to know
1) How long should a healthy battery last?
2) how long should it take to charge to 100% from 1 or 2%?
On my daily commute I use listen it to music and sometimes user twiiter/facebook. I also get alerted of emails when they come in. So far it has just about lasted just about two days maybe before I had to recharge. Is this about right? As stated above I am coming from an old nokia, which is very dated now but the battery lasted almost a week before I had to charge, so having to charge my phone this often is new to me. My iPhone is really great and I just don't want any problems. I have turned off all extras that I don't need.
BTW are the iPhone 4S battery issues a software or hardware issue?
Thanks

I attempted to read your post, but in amongst all the random, unrelated waffling, I couldn't actually find exactly what your iPhone related question for this "Using iPhone" forum was.
Would you like to clarify? Concisely.

Another question about iPhones and malware/virus

Thought I would post this as a separate question.
iPhone 4s. legit (not jail broke)
I know the iOS is pretty protected against virus and malware. And that you cannot download things onto the phone other than through the app store
But what about what they call drive by downloads? Where you go to a web page and it automatically installs something without asking?

UACount wrote:
thanks all. This is so freaky to me. If the iOS is so safe, why doesnt every PC use it? And I dont mean that sarcastically
It's very safe but it also puts very severe limits on what the user can do to tweak the OS and on things that applications can do. For example, most people would balk at only being able to by applications for their computer from one approved source. In fact, a lot of people don't like that about iPhones. Some people prefer freedom to modify their device to security.
In fact, the Mac OS, which historically been less prone to viruses is adopting some of the feature of iOS.

Few questions about iPhone vs Touch

Okay so i'm thinking of getting an iPod Touch but since I have AT&T already I might get an iPhone instead. But a few things are keeping me undecided.
I know that you need to activate your iPhone and from reading a few things on this website it says that the store you buy it from does it. I already have a wireless contract with AT&T, so do I need to pay some kind of activation fee or can I just stick my SIM card into it.
Also I want to make sure that I can still use my iPhone as a normal iPod if I were to cancel my contract with AT&T. Now I ready on this website that you just need to get the SIM card in your phone that was used to activate it and you should be able to fix it, is this correct?
Now if it is correct what if my SIM card messes up or something? My mom and dad both had their SIM cards go haywire within 24 hours of each other. How can I use it then?
Last, I have been hearing problems about 3G vs WiFi, like youtube going slow when on WiFi but perfect on 3G. Does this problem still exist? Is it fixable? How easy is it to switch from 3G to just WiFi or to basically shut off 3G? I do not pay for a data plan so I do not need to end up with a $200 bill because I accidentally used 3G instead of WiFi.
Last question, can you still use the iPhone like you can the iPod for listening to music in your car and still receive phone calls with no problems?
So what are the pros and cons vs iTouch vs iPhone?

I know that you need to activate your iPhone and from reading a few things on this website it says that the store you buy it from does it. I already have a wireless contract with AT&T, so do I need to pay some kind of activation fee or can I just stick my SIM card into it.
How much will I pay for iPhone 3G?
If you are upgrade eligible and your account is in good standing, you will pay $199 for 8GB (black) and $299 for 16GB (black or white). Two-year contract required.
If you are not currently eligible, you may have the option to purchase an early upgrade priced at $399 for 8GB (black) or $499 for 16GB (black or white). Two-year contract required.
In the future, AT&T may offer a no-commitment option of $599 for 8GB and $699 for 16GB.
Is there an upgrade fee?
Yes. There is an $18 upgrade fee which will be billed to your account.
Also I want to make sure that I can still use my iPhone as a normal iPod if I were to cancel my contract with AT&T. Now I ready on this website that you just need to get the SIM card in your phone that was used to activate it and you should be able to fix it, is this correct?
If you were to Cancel your contract please remember terms and conditions apply for early termination. Once De-activated you will not be able to fully update your iPhone when an iPhone update is released as it requires an active AT&T SIM card to confirm account information and unlock the iPhone for full use.
Now if it is correct what if my SIM card messes up or something? My mom and dad both had their SIM cards go haywire within 24 hours of each other. How can I use it then?
You need an active AT&T SIM card to be able to re-activate an iPhone after a Restore and or Update of the OS. De-activated SIM cards will not work.
Last, I have been hearing problems about 3G vs WiFi, like youtube going slow when on WiFi but perfect on 3G. Does this problem still exist? Is it fixable? How easy is it to switch from 3G to just WiFi or to basically shut off 3G? I do not pay for a data plan so I do not need to end up with a $200 bill because I accidentally used 3G instead of WiFi.
Switching back and fourth is pretty easy. The moment you leave a WiFi zone range it will hop onto at&t network automatically. Walk back into range of a WiFi Zone you connected to before and it will auto connect for you. Like when you leave and come back home.
iPhone comes with a $30 unlimited data plan. So you will not go over your data usage only SMS usage if you do not have a plan to cover your usage.
So what are the pros and cons vs iTouch vs iPhone?
Phone comes with a monthly bill and a contract, iPod Touch does not.

A few question about iPhone OS in CS5 and CS5 in general.

Hi,
I'm an IT trainer and I am trying to introduce my students to programming for iPhone/iPod Touch. (They are Secondary 2 students. 14 years old) The school is using a windows computer and CS5 right now is the best for the class (Not a steep learning curve and a user-friendly program). I know about the problems over the iPhone OS in CS5 with Apple but I was told it is still available for use. Furthermore, we have no intention of bringing the apps created to the Apple Store. I've tried the trial version and before I make any purchase, I would actually like to ask a few questions.
Is the iPhone OS in the trial version itself complete? Is there anything left out from the trial version because when I tried it, it seems fine however I did not try publishing to an iPhone due to the certificates. Is there a reason for the certificate? Is there any way around it because if there isn't do I need to get a certificate for every single student? (I'm looking at a class of 40 students.) Is the certificate available for windows platform?
Lets say, I got myself a certificate, create a simple program and then publish it, can I immediately bring it over to iTunes and then sync? Will it work that way? I don't want it to be too tedious for the students to see the end result. I've done quite a few research and have come across people having problems bringing it into their devices. Those people mention about bringing it to Cydia and needing to jailbreak the device. The devices made available for the students are not jailbroken. Will iPhone OS with proper certification still need Cydia for use with their device? Will only jailbroken device allow a CS5 app? I hope you get what I'm trying to say. We as trainers do not support teaching students to jailbreak, so that's definitely a no-no.
Another thing about CS5. Previously I have called customer support about the CS4 the school is using now and the problem with nested animation when publishing the animation as a video file, is this problem still in CS5? Does CS5 allow nested animation to be published as a video file? If it isn't, is there any way around it?
Thank you for your time and patience in answering my questions.

Shafuraa

Dear Marco,
Thanks for th links, its quite handy. One more help required from you as its related to Idsktune. I was just reruning the idsktune on Soalris 10 box where zfs file system used, and able to see the below warning
WARNING: largefiles option is not present on mount of /, files may be limited to 2GB in size.
Could you tell me this alert specific to zfs file system, I was searching the mount parameter options specific to file size, but not able to get anything. Below are the system parameters.
bash-3.00$ ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited

cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 29995
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
In UFS file system I have noted, for such largefile option we are adding the "largefile" parameter in mount, below is such an example.
/var/crash on /dev/md/dsk/d40 read/write/setuid/devices/intr/largefiles/logging/xattr/onerror=panic/dev=1540028 on Thu Aug 19 14:54:11 2010
Could you guide me on this file size warning specific to zfs file system.
Many thanks in advance for your support,

A question about iphone restore/backup?

Ok so I want to do a restore on my iphone, and at first I wanted to do a "rstore from backup" but it says that I do not h ave enough room to process that. So now the only way is to restore as new, and then manually select backup.
So, the question is, if I do restor as new, and then manully backup, Will my apps, music, photo, contacts, texts and everything/data I have on my iphone be backed up? So I won't loose any of these things I listed right? I just did a backup a few minutes ago, so it is the most recent backup.
Also, will my iphone SETTINGS be the same as I have now? because I don't want to readjust and set settings on my iphone again, to be more clear the settings I'm mentioning is like the brightness, oriental lock etc. Will those be set as factory settings or will it be the same as now? just wondering. Thank you so much for your answer!

If you are asking about backing up before restoring your phone, if you wish to do this on your computer rather than iCloud, connect your phone to your comptuer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now, then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. At the end of the restore process, choose restore from iTunes Backup and choose this backup to restore from. Your phone will look just as it does now when you're done.
Edit: Except that you may have to re-enter the passwords for your email accounts, etc.

Questions about Extending Active Directory Schema

We have about 24 Macs at the moment in the environment and we are starting to look at Extending the Active Directory Schema. I have been doing a lot of reading over the past few weeks and I think that I am more confused the more I research it. The Windows Servers here are running Server 2008_R2. So here are my questions:
1. If we extend the schema does that mean that we do not need an OS X Server?
2. Is this really the easiest option to go with?
3. We are looking to be able to apply GPOs to the Macs through Active Directory so will this accomplish it?
4. Will this also allow Group Policy Preferences to map printers to the Macs automatically too?
5. Is this the least expensive option?
6. What is the best way to convince the Windows Administrators that this is how we should proceed?
Thanks
Pads

Hi
1. Yes. However OSX Server offers far more than MCX or Mac-Style GPOs. NetBoot, SUS, Wiki are some you should be looking at IMO.
2. Again IMO not really. It takes a lot of work and you really don't want to be doing this on a 'live' server. Set up a lab environment first, thoroughly test it and then go with it when you're happy. The other possible 'gotcha' is you will have no way of knowing if Microsoft decide to change/amend or extend their own proprietary schema in a Revision update sometime in the future. If that does happen then you may be looking at doing it all over again?
3. Yes, but you will still need WorkGroup Manager installed on a mac client. The documentation is clear about what to do once the Schema has been extended.
4. Not done this myself but I would think so.
5. Yes, but is it the 'best' option? Not in my opinion.
6. Offer them the 'easier' but more expensive alternatives (some of them very expensive) and see which way they jump.
HTH?

Questions about iPhone 3G restore

Hi,
Sorry if this has been covered in other posts....I searched but couldn't find the exact answers I was after.
I have recently upgraded to an iPhone 4 and I'm selling my 3G. I restored the unit from within the phone settings as I didn't want to upgrade it to iOS4. I had previously unlocked the phone through the carrier legitimately. As it currently stands the phone now requires connection to itunes and an active Sim card to activate the unit (just how I wanted it). The questions I have are:
1) What firmware will the phone now have? Would it have restored it back to the original firmware provided with the phone, or will it still have 3.1.3 that was on the phone before restore?
2) Will the phone still be unlocked after the restore?
Thanks in advance for any help!

1) What firmware will the phone now have? Would it have restored it back to the original firmware provided with the phone, or will it still have 3.1.3 that was on the phone before restore?
It will have the current signed firmware from Apple, which is 4.0.2 if you retored recently.
2) Will the phone still be unlocked after the restore?
If officially unlocked to begin with, yes it will still be unlocked.

Question about iPhone/iPod and playing songs

Hi all,
This is my first question here, so please be patient with me if I'm rambling, or this is posted in the wrong forum.
I've recently downloaded a language learning course and want to put it on my iPhone so I can learn Italian as I'm on the bus. While it's great having this course at my fingertips, I want to keep these particular audio files from playing when I'm listening to music on the iPod.
So my question(s) is this..is it possible to somehow ADD files to the iPhone (iPod) while excluding them from the general iPod playlist? I don't want to have to skip over these files each time I'm listening to music, but I still want to keep the files on the iPhone(iPod). If it is possible, how would I go about it?
Thanks for all help!
Cheers!
PBEnglish

There's a work around by using playlists in computer's iTunes.
In iTunes, create one playlist with all the songs you want on the iPhone.
Create another with your language courses.
Sync with the selected playlists in iTunes when connected to the iPhone.
(With iPhone connected and selected in iTunes, in Music tab select Sync Music, Selected playlists, artists, ... and checked the two playlists mentioned above. Click Sync button.)
Now on iPhone you can choose music or language course playlist without interferences.

HT201407 ask about iPhone activation day

hi everyone,
I want to ask about an iPhone`s activation day. Activation day will be the day that I buy an iPhone and leave the App Store or it will be the day that I plug the phone into the computer and activate it with iTunes?
For example :
I buy an iPhone on : 7/28/2013
A week later, I unseal the phone and plug it in to activate with iTunes on : 8/4/2013
So then the day that will be displayed when I check the iPhone`s serial number on this link : https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do will be what day - 7/28/2013 or 8/4/2013 ?
Thanks

Warranty has nothing to do with activation.

I am trying to ask a question about iPhones, but it will not let me post - I get a message similar to this - you are not allowed to change the content. Any help on this matter?

I am trying to ask the following question: Just updated my iPhone5 to V 7.1.2 and can no longer print to my MFC 7860W from this phone. I researched this issue on this forum and found answers from last October/November..... Wary of downloading anything that was posted that long ago. Wondering if there is anyway around this issue, with more recent information? I was able to use this printer in the past by using Brother's iPrint App.
Thanks!!
But when I hit post, I get an error message at the top - "you are not allowed to change this content" Can anyone help me?

I am assuming you got that message when attempting to post an old thread. The old post is probably locked/archived.
FYI, posting on old threads usually yields no responses at all.
I have requested that this post be moved to the iPhone forum where you might get assistance.

Simple question about iPhone backups and password

I can't remember the password to my iPhone-backup in iTunes. But, phew, I haven't lost any data, as I have my iPhone with all data intact. So I deleted the backup in iTunes, and tried to start a fresh backup with a new password. But alas, that doesn't seem to be possible (it backs up, but doesn't ask for a password, and when trying to uncheck encryption I get asked for a password).
Does this mean iTunes now won't let me back up and retrieve the data I actually have on my very own phone? And does it mean that I now have two options:
a. Keep on using my iPhone, keeping the data on it, but without the ability to backup and retrieve the backups, or
b. restore and set up my iPhone as a new device, losing all my data

If you update you will not be able to go back to a previous iOS version. The iOS is not included in the backup. The following link gives details of what is included: iTunes: About iOS backups

Simple question about media activation

Hi, Suppose i give someone a signed media (book) on a SD card. can he plug it into his device, connect to the internet and activate it ?
the question is, does the activation process need to be done in the same session of the media download, by the same device ?
Thanks

The activation begin when you click on the gblink. So when you have the media file, you already did the activation part!
