Switching from a 4g to 3g phone and then back ..weekly.. sim card?

If this has been asked already I apologize...I've seen different answers and I just want to get it straight.
If I have a 4g phone ( sim card) and want to go back to a 3g phone (I'd like to do this several times a week). How can I do this without requiring a new sim card? Before, between 3g phones, all I had to do was call *228 and that was that...can anyone explain the easy way to do this?

So I got a Samsung s4 when it was free upgrade and then I switched back to my basic cell phone so I could give the S4 away., I've done this switching from smartphone to basic phone multiple times in the past and each time they removed the data plan after I switched back to a basic phone.
This is exactly why they changed the policy. They were losing money on the smartphone you would by, but then only pay access charge for voice and no data. The data profit was built into their business model to pay for the higher price of the smartphone.

Whenever I change from My Music to iTunes Store and then back to My Music, it sends me to the top of My Music instead of where I was when i switched. How can I get it to return to where I was when I switch out of and back into My Music?

Firefox will reload a page and reposition at the top if the copy in the cache has expired. However, that shouldn't happen right away.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

IPAD NOT STARTING. IT GOES FROM APPLE LOGO TO SEARCH WHEEL AND THEN BACK TO APPLE LOGO AND DOESN'T STOP.

I'VE HAD MY IPAD A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. IT NOW WONT START UP AND IM PAST MY WARRANTY. IT GOES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE APPLE LOGO AND THE WAIT/SEARCH WHEEL. IT WONT DO ANYTHING ELSE. I CHARGE IT, BUT BECAUSE IT'S TRYING TO DO SOMETHING, IT BURNS OUT THE BATTERY LIFE. WHAT COULD THIS BE? I HAVE TRIED TO RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS, WITH NO SUCCESS. THIS IS THE THIRD APPLE PRODUCT MY FAMILY HAS PURCHASED, THAT BREAKS OR MALFUNCTIONS RIGHT AFTER THE YEAR WARRANTY. I WILL NEVER BUY AN APPLE PRODUCT AGAIN WITHOUT ADDED WARRANTIES, IF AT ALL. ALL THOUGH THE TECHNOLOGY IS GREAT, LET'S JUST SAY THAT I HAVE MY DOUBTS WHEN IT COMES TO THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCTS, THE COST OF SERVICE AND THE LENGTH OF THE WARRANTIES.

Hopefully the USB port on your computer will keep the iPad charged until the restore completes. If your computer is relatively new, you should have enough power coming through the USB port to at least keep the power coming in as it is draining. What I mean is it might not be charging, but hopefully it is not draining either. Just keeping the iPad at the status quo with regard to battery power.
You should not be charged if you simply want to make an appointment to bring your iPad into an Apple Store. Was there an option to get past all of that support nonsense and just speak to a human being? Did you try my favorite trick and just dial 0?

I dropped my 3G phone yesterday and since then it won't receive mail. says user name or password is incorrect. I've checked in settings and re-entered the correct (I think) information and it still doesn't work. I removed then replaced the sim card.

Delete the email account and re-enter it from scratch.

HT3960 My iPhone will not update. it keeps asking me to restore but then says there's an internal error -1. At first it wouldn't update saying there was no SIM Card. This was a used phone that i had the SIM Card replaced

Got a used iPhone4 to replace my lost one, had the screen replaced and then had the SIM card replaced by Best Buy.
They had issues in the store connecting to iTunes but the Geek Squad where they wiped it and said all was good.
Got home to update it and all was good up to the point where i needed to have the phone to work.
Then it wouldn't recognize there was a SIM card and to restore my phone.
it comes up now with unable to restore, unknown error -1
Help please

Perhaps try the Error 1 or -1 advice from the following document:

I'm getting a new phone and was wondering if I could sync a non gamecenter game onto my com.from my old phone and then back it up to my new phone and the KEEP MY PROGRESS

Hi,
The below link shows how to create playlist in Itunes. Once the playlist is created, if you are using apple Ipod or any other apple product. Then once you connect the device it will start the sync with the device and then you can start playing.

If you are using another device, then please do mention the device to which you want to sync the music and which player are using on the system.

Dear sir
I bought my iPhone 4 from Apple store in Charlotte N/C about 2years ago without contract.
Now I tried to upgrade it to iOS 7.0.4.but after that my phone not work with last sim card.
And invalid sim appeared.so I bought it without contract but it seems to be lock in my country
Please tell me whats the matter?
My phone serial no 86034HTCA4T
Modem firmware 04.12.09
Thanks

Without contract is not the same as unlocked. The update to iOS 7 relocked
the iPhone to the wireless carrier to which it was originally locked. You must
contact that wireless carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
If you used jailbreak or other hack to unlock the iPhone initially, the method
used may prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding and may render your
iPhone unuseable.

Also this works when one of us downloads an app it appears on the other iphone

You need to use separate iCloud accounts. This will mean that you can both have your own separate contracts and calendars and put an end to them being deleted by each other.
Whether or not you have a separate iTunes account, is up to you. If you have a separate iTunes accounts you will not be able to access the music, books, apps that have been purchased by the other. This may be exactly what you want, but it also means that you both may end up purchasing the same item.

I switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox and my bookmarks don't appear to have been transferred. The FAQ's say it should be in a folder marked Internet Explorer in the "Bookmarks Menu", but it's not there.

Did you see a "Bookmark" tab in your Menu Bar? All of your IE Favorites should be there if you pull it down.
FYI, It's called Bookmarks in Firefox.

HT4859 How do I retrieve my photos from the cloud after a reset. My photos are gone from my phone, and I backed them up on iCloud?

Try restoring the backup again. Sometimes it's successful the second time. You could also try restoring an older backup. iCloud will have your last 3 backups is you have sufficient storage space in your account.

Hi, i wanted to resize my windows partion. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partion from the backup. Is this possible?

I see youhave gotten recommendatons for using WinClone or CampTune. I have used both and they both work well.
You have asked about using the WIndows 7 utility to backup your drive and restor it onto a larger partition. I will tell you fro experience that this will probably not do what you want, and may do something that you don't want. You can use the Windows 7 native backup tool to make a backup of your Windows 7 partition. It will most liekly end-up making a dive image of the whole drive. When yourestore that backup, it will try to re-create teh partitions of exactly the same size as they were when the backup was taken, so it won't increase your partition size for you. Worse, since Windows doesn't natively know how to read./write HFS+ volumes, the backup will make a partition for your MacOS (replacing any you may have now), except that the copy restored by WIndows will be totally worthless, and you will not be able to boot MacOS from it, or even read it under MacOS.
Now I will tell you that I've also had some fairly good success working with the free tool CloneZilla. Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, and everything else mentioned does cost you money, I thought I would throw it out. CloneZilla is not as easy to use as the tools mentioned, but it has worked for me int hte past, so it is something to consider. I tend to use CampTune myself, but that was because I purchased a bundle deal for them and it was included in that deal.

Kilted Tim is correct, did you plug it in to iTunes to complete the process? I assumed you would have done so, but I shouldn't have assumed.

My iPhone continually shows me an Invalid SIM message or SIM Failure. If I switch my phone off and then back on it works ok for a maximum of 10 mins, and then I get the same message appearing. How can I resolve it?

My iPhone 4S keeps on giving me an error message about my SIM Card. It either tells me invalid SIM or SIM Failure. The only way i can rectify this it to switch my phone off and then back on again, but this resolve only lasts for 10-15 Mins, and then the same error message appears. Any ideas on the best way to rectify my alleged SIM card issues?
Many Thanks

i Had a simular issue years ago with my blackberry on ATT. As it turned out, my SIM had some issues. I would head over to your carrier and get a free sim replacement. It could be a phone or SW issue, but the Sim is my first guess give my experience
