Sold my 3G, Upgraded to 4 - SIM Questions

I posted this in the 3g section, but realized it probably belongs here. Sorry for the double post...
Ok, I know it's a good idea to remove the sim card but hear me out.
I just upgraded to the iphone 4 and sold my iphone 3g on ebay. The auction has already ended. I made a typo and said that the SIM card was included when I meant to say it wasn't.
So, my question is... does it really matter? I've wiped the data from the phone, restored the phone as new, and wiped again for good measure. My phone number is active on the new micro-SIM in the iphone 4.
Is there any security/privacy issue with shipping the old sim card to the buyer? I've contacted them to let them know, but if it's a moot point I'd rather just ship it than risk the negative feedback.
Any help is appreciated.

The SIM Card does not store any information unless it's a normal phone to iPhone. If you don't have a SIM Card with the old phone, they can get a SIM Card with their contract. They can also pull out the old SIM Card and put a new one in as long as it's a 3G SIM.
After deactivating the old i3G, the SIM Card becomes useless.

Sold 4GB iphone upgrading to 8GB Some questions?

Sold 4GB iphone upgrading to 8GB and was wondering what troubles if any i might run into?
Once i recieve the 8gb model can i just switch sim cards? that way my 8gb will have evrything my 4gb had on it and the person i am selling it too will have a sim card that hasn't been activated ?
Anyone know of any problems i might have? maybe having to restart my 2 year contract with at&t for some reason?
Any help would be great
Thanks

Good question.
I believe that your SIM card should be interchangeable between your old 4GB iPhone and your new 8GB iPhone. Of course, if you take your SIM out of the old 4G what will the buyer of your 4G use for a SIM card to get started - are you planning to give him the non-registered SIM from the 8G that you get?
If not, how do you expect him to get a SIM card unless you expect him to have to buy one from AT&T?
I think that if the old SIM works, there should be no need to restart your two (2) year contract but first the old SIM needs to work.
Let us know what happens.

Your MBP should have been given to you with the original installation disks and OS. The Lion OS is licensed to the person who sold it to you. You will have create your own account and purchase Lion if you wish to use it. Those are the stipulations in the licensing agreements.

Selling old iPhone 3g - erased, removed sim questions for new buyer

I have an old 3g that we have service turned off on, i did the erase all content thing and removed the sim, phone restared and said I needed to hook it up to itunes and it needed the sim againput the sim back in, got the phone back to what looks like day one (then removed the sim after itunes set it up as a new phone vs using exsiting restore or backup).
So now the phone has no sim and everything appears to be there in terms of the basic apps nothing i can see has any of my info or history on it.
My question is if I sell this like this how does the new buyer install apps on it thru the app store, i can access wifi and watch youtube stuff but when I tried to install a free app but it just keeps asking for existing or new acct, if they setup a new acct and that 3g has no sim card will they be able to access and download content to it (also if they setup a new acct in itunes can they purchase apps with that too)?
I am pretty tech dumb when it comes to that sort of thing, noting sensitive on the phone realy even before the erase, but if i sell it like this I just didnt want the new buyer to somehow be able to buy apps on my acct (the itunes existing acct stuff is all blank I checked it), but i do want them to be able to get apps on the phone for their own use thru wifi so I am guessing they just have to create their own itunes acct and then even without the sim it would let them grab apps?
Or do they need a sim, if so will att give them a blank or is the phone basically useless without it (I thought I heard never give out my sim even tho the phone is deactivated I wasnt sure on security).
Thanks for anyone who can clear this up for me, don't wanna sell it and find out i didn't follow some rule of safety for my own acct etc.

In that order and you're good. I've never removed a SIM before selling and I haven't had any problems. Also they would need a new SIM to activate sevice so any potential for your information going to the device after sold is gone.
Hope that helps

Postscript Sim Question for 750C Plus - Do I need it?

Thanks for your help. I have a nice DJ 750C Plus that I have just upgraded the memory to max, I use a RIP package with it called Production house. My question is do I need to by the postscript Sim chip? I dont print directly from the computer to the print but always through the RIP. Will I be able to get a higher DPI with the chip? If so is it just a matter of print @ 600dp instead of 300dpi?
Thanks!

8700 SIM question

Hi Everyone
I don't know very much about this topic, so I apologize in advance if this is a silly question.
My employer gave me a BB 8700 to use many years ago. I would like to upgrade the phone, but they don't see any reason to as it is still working. If I choose to purchase a newer phone on my own dime, can I just take the SIM out of the 8700 and put it into the new phone? I've had colleagues tell me that is all that is needed, but it just seems too easy.
Any help is really appreciated!

Keyword, employer. Are you on a corporate BES account?
If so, does your BES Admin support another device, whatever you upgrade to?
If you are on a BES, after moving the SIM from one device to the new, you will need a new BES activation password, provided from your BES Admin. It's their network you are on, so they have every right to govern what devices are on the network.
Otherwise, if they don't care, there's no issue. Moving the SIM is all that you need to do.
Along with a backup of the 8700 (using the BlackBerry Desktop Software), and you can use the Desktop Software's Switch Device Wizard to move everything from the old device to the new.

Lenovo A916 Has Lost 'Auto-Rotate' Since Upgrade to Dual SIM/Dual Standby

When I first received this phone shortly before Christmas from a UK supplier, it did not operate with Dual Standby. Only rebooting allowed you to swap SIMs.
I have since been successful in updating the firmware build to A916_S1205_141013 which gives me Dual SIM/Dual Standby and is a lot less biased towards a Chinese user and is multi-lingual.
Google services are all there too.
My pleasure was somewhat dampened when I discovered that I can no longer 'auto-rotate' the likes of jpeg files in Gallery. I checked that the facility is turned on in Settings>Display. Apps which force a landscape format, e.g. Netflix work fine.
I loaded an app called Hardware Info which confirms that my phone has a 3-axis accelerometer, which I assume is how it knows which way up it is!
I have also used the ServiceIT app as mentioned in this forum. This confirms that my G-Sensors are working.
Does anyone have any ideas what else I could try to reinstate autorotate?
Incidentally, I got my stock firmware upgrade from www.needrom.com.
Lenovo A916, KitKat 4.4.2, build A916_S1205_141013
SIM 1 - Three 4G, SIM 2 - O2 2G

Original iPhone just stolen so upgrading to iPhone 4; question

Apple website says bring my old iPhone to Apple store to get an upgrade. Will I just suffer a new 2 year contract with new data plan? Or something far more sinister since I no longer physically have the old iPhone? I have checked my usage and see monthly max has been 500MB so will downgrade to 2GB and save the $10/month.

Not sure why you are instructed to bring your existing iPhone to the Apple store for a new iPhone purchase at AT&T's fully subsidized or discounted price or otherwise. It isn't an exchange, and the SIM card being used with the iPhone if you still had it and were using it is not required to activate a new iPhone. A new iPhone ships in the U.S. with a new SIM card pre-installed.
This is not required so I would ignore it.

IPhone Sim Question. Christmas present for the gf

Hi Mac users. Just wanted to clear something up about the iPhone. I have myself an iPhone 3gs. Taken out with contract, phone included, all very simple. Now christmas is rolling around I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a 3gs also as she's always looking at mine lol. Thing is, she already has a monthly contract using a sony ericsson xperia mini pro (which she hates). Her contract is with Vodaphone. Problem is tho I've heard I can't just surprise her with an iPhone, she pops her sim card in and away she goes. Apparently the sim wont work in an iphone or something and has to be set up by the provider and a different tariff arranged for it to work :/. Can anyone tell me if that information is correct as I am keen on suprising her with it on christmas day. But cant really talk to her provider without her…. and pretty much giving away the surprise. Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

WOW, Lots of questions.
First, I suggest you read the descriptions of the Apple Airport Extrem and Airport Express, the two wireless devices made by Apple, so that you understand the different capabilites of the two.
For your friend, I'm going to assume that you want to connect all the devices wirelessly. This should be possible with his existing wireless router (model?), the XP laptop, iPad, and Epson printer should all be able to reside on the network. The primary issue is printing from the Apple iOS devices (iPad, iPhone). As you may be aware, the best and easiest solution is to have a printer that is AirPrint compatible, or purchase something like the Lantronics xPrintServer, which allows USB and network printers that are not AirPritn compatible to be used with iPads and iPhones. Finally, the Apple Airport Software Utility (there is an Apple OS and an Windows version) will allow you to configure any Apple wireless device (Express or Extreme).
So post back how you intend to connect the devices (ethernet or wirelessly) and what model epson printer you have, is it network capable or just USB? Is it AirPrint compatible? I can give you more specific help then.
As for your network, yes you connect either the airport Extreme or Express to an existing network. But if all you want to do is add AirPrint capability so that you can easily print from your iPhone or iPad, i'd suggest that you just add an xPrint server or maybe try the NetGear Genie software (runs on a Mac or PC) which is supposed to add airprint capability to any network but requries that a Mac or PC be running on the network in order to use it.
Post back if you have more questions.

9i to 10g (10.2.0.4) Upgrade... some questions

Hello,
I am currently analysing the upgrade requirements for my organisation to upgrade our Backend databases from 9i to 10g (release 10.2.0.4).
We are currently using a COTS application to interface the database. There are a number of things i am unsure of in regards to the prequisites etc that need to be completed.
Oracle is running on the HP-UX Operating system, our DBA's are quite happy with the upgrade process so not many issues here.
The questions i have are mainly from a Windows server interfacing point of view.
What versions of ODBC drivers are needed to talk to 10g?
Does the current version of SQL*Plus (8.0.5.0.0) need to be upgraded?
Do the version of Oracle Reporting still work? (9.0.2.3.0)?
Are there any deprecated SQL statements or such like that will be need to be checked for in current scripts / sql?
Is there anything else i need to be aware of during the upgrade?
Rgds,
Andy Paton
COTS Functional Analyst

Hi Andy,
10.2.0.4 is the latest release from Oracle. you can get more information from Metalink or oracle.com
On Metalink you can fin 10g Database Upgrade Companion for answers to most of your questions
Hope that helps
Regards,
Z.K.

IM3 upgrade to IM6 Amatuer Question...Does IM create HD by default?

Sorry if this seems a like a bit of a simple question. I have recently upgraded to IM6 from IM 3.0.3.
I'm just wondering if IM6 "HD" means that the projects I create and burn are High Definition by default?
Thanks for any and all advice.
Adam

And just FYI: Currently the only way to "burn" HD content is with DVD Studio Pro. You can export H.264 which is an HD compliant standard.

10.4.3 upgrade & archive install = flashing question mark

I upgraded to 10.4.3 reboot, flashing question mark appears.
Tried everything, PRAM zap, NVRAM reset, pull battery for a day and unplug. Reset PMU.
Tried combo update. Same flashing question mark. Boot from 10.4 DVD repair permissions all the time, repair disk, all is ok. Startup Disk selection to hard drive, see os x, reboot, flashing question mark again.
Reboot + Option, pulls up view, no startup disk shows, except for 10.4 dvd.
Target disk mode startup from another mac, boots up, run startup disk, shows the hard drive, select as startup, reboot, still flashing question mark.
Re-install os 10.4 - install 10.4.2 upgrade, still flashing question mark.
Have a Dual 1.2 G4 gig ethernet, 2gb ram, pulled out all but one ram chip tested booting with every different kind of ram configuration. Still flashing question mark.
QUESTION: Has anyone been able to fix this issue? I see it all over and nothing that really solves it?

i dont have a solution... but what you might want to do is reinstall 10.4.. upgrade to 10.4.2, reinstall everything you need and run yasu or cocktail..
then with carbon copy cloner.. make a backup of your system to another hard drive..
that way when 10.4.4 comes out... you can upgrade with out worrying if something bad happens.. hopefully by then theyll have everything worked out.

UPGRADING TO PALM TX QUESTIONS

My company currentely uses serveral old Palms SPT1800 Palm OS v4.1 we use them for our company shows that we have through out the Country to scan our item barcodes and take orders and have them printed out so our customers have a copy of there order. We would like to upgrade to something faster like the Palm TX. With these old Palms we use the Infrared Reader on our printers HP 4050's. We use a third party software called ALO. My question is this will it process much faster, does it come equipted with the BarCode scanner and do we need to purchase newer printers with bluetooth technology?
Thanks
Ed
Post relates to: Palm TX

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
I'll be glad to answer your questions for you. The Palm TX does support Infared (IR) technology. I don't think it will be much faster or anything seeing how IR is a slow method of transferring data or connected devices. It may be a more updated version of IR but I don't think it will be that much faster. This kind of answers another question you had; you won't have to upgrade to bluetooth printers. If you do however, the TX does support Bluetooth and Bluetooth is faster than IR.
The Palm TX unfortunately does not have a barcode scanner on them. You can probably purchase a 3rd party add on for it but this cannot be supported by Palm. If you have any questions about bar code scanners for Palm devices you will want to seek 3rd party assistance.
I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. The Palm TX is a great device by the way, I'm sure you guys would love it.

Upgrading to 10.4 Questions:

Hi,
Upgrading to 10.4
I have some questions about upgrading to Tiger 10.4
This is my System, etc:
I have a Power Mac G4 MDD Dual Boot 1.25 (SP) Model M9145LL/A. Running Panther 10.3.9 - 7W98 - Darwin 7.9.0
2 New Internal SATA H.D.'s, and 2 GB's of Ram.
A few months ago I added a Seritek 1S2 SATA Card and 2 WD SATA H.D.'s. I took the original 80 GB drive out and put it in a Firewire 400 OWC case, that has my OS and all my files on it, and it's bootable. I cloned it to my new Boot Drive a 640 GB WD with 2 partitions. One for OS and Programs and second partition for my files. My second new drive a 320 GB WD has 2 partitions, first one for Photoshop CS2 Scratch, and second partition for Video Scratch, for Popcorn, etc. I used Super Duper to clone. I got a lot of Great Advise on how to do this on the Apple Discussions Forum at the time I did this!
I'm now running Panther 10.3.9 and very occasionally boot into 9.2.2
My Original System came with Jaguar 10.2.7 then Upgraded to Panther 10.3
Then did the updates to 10.3.9
I want to upgrade my OS to be able to get the newer versions of Safari and Firefox and heard that Tiger runs CS2 better and is a more stable OS overall. Eventually want to do the updates to 10.4.11 which I hear is the best thing to do.
MY QUESTIONS:
Part 1:
I want to Upgrade to 10.4 Tiger. I currently have a Dual Boot System running 10.3.9 and 9.2.2
I would like to install a "Fresh" OS of Tiger "Only" as my new OS. Can I do this by using the "Archive and Install" Option?
Would Using This Option give me a Tiger Only new OS, omitting OS 9? And can I do this with a Upgrade or do I need a Full Version of Tiger?
To be able to Keep my Internet and Mail and other System Prefs the way they are now without having to reconfigure them, would choosing "Preserve User and Network Settings", take care of this?
Also, before doing all of this, should I use Disk Utility to Verify and Repair the volume? If so, do I use Disk Utility from the New Tiger Upgrade DVD or do I have to use the Disk Utility that came with my Panther 10.3 Upgrade C.D.'s?
What would be the Steps to do this?
Part 2:
(I know I have to find a Machine Specific Black DVD-ROM of Tiger 10.4) Will I have to Register this Upgrade? Will it have a New Serial Number or Not? Because I know it's hard to find these, if I found a person who has the right DVD for my machine at a good price, I was wondering if this Upgrade needed to be Registered or not to be able to use it, and get the Updates etc?? Or do I have to buy a Brand New Retail Version if I can find one, from an online store? Do you know of any online stores that have a Tiger Upgrade?
Part 3:
Will I also have to Upgrade my Norton Antivirus to a Newer Version for Tiger? I have version 9.0.4 now. What version do I need for Tiger?
I would Really Appreciate some answers to my questions and any other advice on doing this Upgrade Right.
Thank You.

Hi...I finally found an Upgrade for Tiger at AllMac.com
http://www.allmac.com/shop/productinfo.php?cPath=5_10003&productsid=6911
The one I got also, included an extra CD with Updaters to OS 10.4.11 along with Java and Security .dmg files.
After loading it all in and updating the OS to 10.4.11, I used Apple Software Update to download the Latest Java and Security updates. Also, got the Latest versions of Safari and Firefox.
All seems to be running OK. And didn't have any problems with Photoshop CS2 activation or running. Didn't have any problems with the latest Security Updates, as well.
Thank you.
