Switching Sim Back And Forth? Does it Wipe Phone Clean?

I bought a used iPhone 3G from Craigslist for my best friend as a gift. I have an iPhone 4 and would like to check out the 3G and make sure it works before I give it to her. Can I pull the SIM card out of my iPhone 4, pop it in the 3G, and then pop it back into my iPhone 4 without losing all my settings on the iPhone 4? Or do you have to wipe the phone clean every time you stick in a new SIM card? I want to check out the 3G but I don't want to lose everything on my iPhone 4.

The iPhone 4 uses a micro-SIM card and the 3G doesn't, so unless you have a SIM card adaptor for the micro-SIM card to be used with the 3G, this won't work and you will need to temporarily activate the 3G with your line/number.
Removing and re-inserting the SIM card does not touch or wipe any data on the iPhone. The only way to do that is by using the erase all content and settings option on the iPhone, or by restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup.

Can I switch the iPhone 3G SIM back and forth between my Razr and my iPhone

I thought that I had read that you could do this without any problems. But, when I picked up my iPhone 3G at the AT&T store this week, I asked the sales person if this would work, and he said that it would work, but would corrupt the SIM and possibly cause problems with the iPhone when it went back into it. Is this information correct? Thanks for your help!

I do it with my nokia i use it when i know im going to be out in the element's working and i dont use any data with that phone, but that's sound's kinda strange that you would have to pay for data with an unlimited data plan but im new to this so i guess we will have to wait and see-

Switching back and forth between keys on vocal track

I followed the instructions in the garage band tutorial for changing key (pitch?) of a vocal track for part of the project. Doesn't seem to work the way they suggest - calling up master track, adding a point on the automation line where I want change to begin and raising automation line on other side to raise pitch. No change seems apparent.
This vocal track is actually a rap that involves a person talking to a bug. I recorded the rap in key of D, want to raise pitch of the part that has the bug 'talking' to give it cartoony effect. I tested it on whole track by changing key normal way and raising key from 'D' to 'G' seemed to have best 'feel' for what I want. Can I switch keys back and forth in Garage Band and if so, how?
I also have Soundtrack installed with my Final Cut Pro, but would like to stick with Garage Band for this project if possible.
Judy

if you read the docs, your own recordings are not affected by the master pitch.
for your project it probably makes more sense to use the Vocal Transformer effect anyway (the alternate choice would be to use the Region Pitch control in the Track Editor)

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey.
example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive) the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
but that is very occasionally, most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed , I don't know how that effects qt.
qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)
I have gone to VLC and MPlayerX for direct playback for drones and cameras.

Can I switch back and forth the same sim card between an old iPhone 4 and a new one never used in order to activate the latter? Should I use same Apple Account?

Can I switch back and forth the same sim card between an old iPhone 4 and a new one never used in order to activate the latter? Should I use same Apple Account? Should I activate it via WiFi or iTunes? I am filtering on the MAC no and I cannot read that number from the new iPhone without having it activated??!!
All I want do is to have the new phone activated and then tested!
Ciao // Mufftas

Yes, you can do that.

When I start it up it shows two two nested windows on the screen, has a Firefox yellow tab in the corner, does not display the toolbar bookmarks, the back and forth buttons do not work and there is no page refresh. No clue what is going on.

Every time I open up Firefox it appears to open two nested and linked windows, each with their own minimize, maximize and close buttons but the both work the same. The homepage does not come up, the back and forth buttons do not work. Both the refresh button and F5 do not work. The Bookmark Toolbar does not show up until I disable it in View and then re-enable it and this causes the outer nested window to disappear or close.

This issue can be caused by an extension or theme that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Command Button colors corrupt after switching back and forth from design view.

I would say my experience level with Access is "getting there."
I therefore don't thing I'm making a newbish mistake.
Has anyone else noticed this? As it's bugging me quite badly.
1. A command button has had it's color formatted (pressed, hover, etc. nothing fancy)
2. It works fine.
3. In my navigation form, if I switch to design view, then select a given sub-form... like "customers" - and switch back out of design view, to form view - then without fail, all customized command buttons within that sub forms' color will 'corrupt'
ie, change.
4. Closing and reopening the navigation form (ie, my main menu) restores it, but the same thing will happen should I go back to design view for the sub form.
5. Finally - this behaviour does not happen when switching back and forth between views on the original form that isn't a sub form in the navigation form. (Ie,. the main 'customers' form).
Can any clever folk give me a solution? :(
Thanks,
Eric Rowlands
EDIT - My apologies, I am using Access 2013 for a desktop database.

1) We will need to understand whether the issue is seen on any sample database.
2) IS this seen only on your system, we would need to check on other system also
3) If the issue is seen in all system & issue is not seen in the sample database then this could be database specific issue
4) As per my understanding the issue is consistent, we would need to find what is the VBA code or which code is used while designing this form.
5) We would need to see if the issue is seen only on that particular navigation form?
6) Is the button gets corrupt I mean to say non-usable once it get discolored ?
7) What is your end goal just in case if you are able to work on your database i.e. when working on the navigation form without going in design view is issue still seen there ?
8) Since when are you experiencing this issue ?
9) If possible please provide me the environment details of your system & Access application, whether the issue is seen only in access 2010 can we check in access 2007 or in access 2013.
I would really appreciate if you can answers the above questions this will really help us to isolate the issue further
in terms of technical troubleshooting after answering the above question I might come up with another question so that we can do extensive isolating the issue so the if required we can involve the developer also.

Switching BW authorization concept back and forth on the fly

After upgrading to BW 7.0, we are currently developing the BW authorizations from scratch with the new analytical authorizations. The system is currently set to the legacy RSR authorization objects. The idea is now to define two timeframes on our development system, one for the users working with old authorizations, and a second timeframe for testing the new analytical authorizations.
Can we switch the authorization concept back and forth on the fly, or are there any obstacles?
Thanks in advance!

Andreas,
The latest version of BW is 7.3 which is also Analysis authorization concept like 7.0. So please clarify from the system status what level are you upgrading to.
Under 7.0, the RSR objects were still available i.e. you can switch the concept back and forth on the fly, it will trigger a transport. AFAIK - In 7.3 however there is no support for RSR anymore in fact even the object class is not visible and so does the switch for the concept and even RSR objects (Z-objects) do not show up in PFCG either.
So if you are moving to 7.0 switch is possible, 7.3 it is not. But in either case, you should be upgrading using a dual landscape with upgrade work being done & tested in separate boxes than daily production support landscape. It will come in handy at the time of testing also.

Shivraj Singh

HP PhotoSmart 6525 Switching Back-and-Forth between Wireless and USB

Hi,
I setup my HP PhotoSmart 6525 using the "Wireless with a router" setup instructions (i.e. not Wireless Direct). I am able to print from my laptop through the wireless network. I would also like to be able to print from my laptop using the USB connection at times when my laptop is physically sitting next to the printer. At times when it is not, I want to continue to be able to print wirelessly.
Is it possible to setup the print drivers on the laptop so that I can easily switch back-and-forth between USB printing and wireless network printing? I suspect that it may not be possible because the user guide has a section describing how to "Change from a USB connection to a wireless network" that has you click on a menu item called "Convert a USB connected printer to wireless". There are no instructions for how to convert back to USB. Moreover, the use of the word "convert" does not make it sound like you can maintain both print methods simultaneously on a single computer.
Does anyone know whether it can be done, and if so how?
Thanks in advance,
Paul2
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hey Paul2,
I see you have the HP Photosmart 6525 installed for Wireless printing capacity and would also like to add a USB driver so that it is available for use when near the printer. Please follow the steps below to add a copy of the printer for USB printing. The below steps are for Windows 7 and below based computers. If you have Windows 8, then the steps will be slightly different so let me know. Please let me know if you have a Mac, because I can provide those steps at that time.
Press the Start menu of the computer
Select All Programs
Open the HP Folder
Open the folder for the HP Photosmart 6520 series
Select "Printer Setup and Software"
Select the option to Add a new printer
Select the USB option
Plug the USB cable in when the software requests it and proceed through the install process
This will leave the Wireless driver support in place and add a second printer under the Devices and Printers window for USB printing. The USB printer may contain Copy 1 in the name as a differentiation, however the other one should also state Network in the printer name to indicate it is the wireless option.
I hope this helps,
Jason

Switching back and forth between 2 JFrames, rendering the other non-visable

This seems to be my last problem with this assignment thankfully, everything else is completed. As per topic description, My assignment is to create a calculator like the windows XP calculator. It must have a 'standard view' on start up and the option to switch to a scientific calculator and switch back and forth as needed.
As you most likely are aware the scientific calculator is approximately 1.3x the size of the standard calculator. I did look into CardLayout and TabLayout but from what I can gather these can't change sizes. I found this post: [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=623561] Which is the same methods I had already tried. None of them worked.
Being this is my first experience with swing, I naturally followed my books design which was to extend JFrame and implement other classes. I feel this may be the wrong course of action now.
public class Calculator extends JFrame implements ActionListener,
            KeyListener, WindowListener
private JMenuBar menuBar;
private JMenu mEdit, mView, mHelp;
private JMenuItem copyItem, pasteItem, helpItem, aboutItem;
public Calculator()
    ... add(menu);
public JMenuBar createMenu()
    ButtonGroup group = new ButtonGroup();
    rbStandard = new JRadioButtonMenuItem("Standard");
    rbStandard.setSelected(true);
    group.add(rbStandard);
    mView.add(rbStandard);
    rbScientific = new JRadioButtonMenuItem("Scientific");
    rbScientific.addActionListener(this);
    group.add(rbScientific);
    mView.add(rbScientific);
    menuBar.add(mView);
    return menuBar;
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
    if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Standard"))
      if (! isStandard)
        if (this.isDisplayable())
          this.requestFocus();
          this.setVisible(true);
          rbStandard.setSelected(true);
          sc.setVisible(false);
          isStandard = true;
        else
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
                    "Something is wrong this WILL NOT SHOW !!!\n",
                    "It's STUFFED!\n", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
    else if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Scientific"))
      if (isStandard)
        sc.setVisible(true);
        rbScientific.setSelected(true);
        this.setVisible(false);
        isStandard = false;
private class Scientific extends JFrame
    public Scientific()
      add(menuBar);
}Ok that is a very basic overview of what the class looks like, the Standard calc hides itself and goes into Scientific mode very well, however when trying to switch back to Standard nothing happens, as you can see from that Action method I have tried numerous things, including dispose(). I need the standard view to become the scientific view and change it's size. I have read a lot of the swing tutorials and I can not think how to do this. Keep in mind that when Standard calc switches to scientific it does not open a new window, the window simply morphs. (this happens at the same orientation to desktop as well).
2 questions:
1. Does anyone know how I can switch back to standard calc?
2. Should I redesign my project (which is currently sitting at 1200 lines and a single class(with inner classes)) and how?
What is a good way to design a swing application such as this? (or is having the class extend JFrame perfectly normal?)
Edited by: Gcampton on Sep 19, 2010 7:47 AM
Additionally, I forgot to mention, I use the menu bar already defined in standard calculator(outer class) inside my scientific(inner class), all the options within scientific mode work exactly as they do in standard. Except of course for switching back to standard. Also the boolean variable isStandard, is not the problem as I have tested without it. the "About Calculator" "Help Topics" "copy" "paste" menu buttons all work and perform the actions as implemented in the Standard Calculator actionPerformed(ActionEvent e), The scientific actionPerformed() method IS BLANK!!!
I was somewhat surprised at this, yet thankful as well. I didn't want to have so much repeat code in the inner class.

I shouldn't have been so quick to think I won't run into any more problems...
I've copied code straight from java tutorials [http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/editorpane.html]
            JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane();
            editorPane.setEditable(false);
            java.net.URL helpURL = About.class.getResource("Doc2.html");
            if (helpURL != null)
                try
                    editorPane.setPage(helpURL);
                catch (IOException e)
                    System.err.println(
                            "Attempted to read a bad URL: " + helpURL);
            else
                System.err.println(
                        "Couldn't find file: About.html");
            //Put the editor pane in a scroll pane.
            JScrollPane editorScrollPane = new JScrollPane(editorPane);
            editorScrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(
                            JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
            editorScrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 145));
            editorScrollPane.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(10, 10));
            return editorScrollPane;I have the html document in root eclipse folder, in bin and src. yet it does not display. I also have icons in my root folder and they display fine:

I have a G5 PPC Dual 20" Mac Displays - I want to incorporate a Mac Mini and still use my keyboard and Monitors and Switch back and forth. How do I do this?

I have a G5 PPC Dual 20" Mac Displays - I want to incorporate a Mac Mini and still use my keyboard and Monitors and Switch back and forth. How do I do this?

The Hatter,
I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can. From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance. The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs. Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
You said I have the 4000 for CUDA. I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it.
A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000. Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected? I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are. I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4. Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

Need multiple 'MAIL' Icons. Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain

Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain the butt. This has been a request from Apple users for many years. it's great you can now combine all emails into one, but some people want them kept separate and have separate icons on the main page. They could easily do this by having one "MAIL" account as white and another red. Or put MAIL 1 and MAIL 2. Or an actual label that the mail accounts are called on the ICONS!!
Help!

...I could switch back and forth between accounts while in the mailbox, with one button. I think that is what you are referring to? Whoever said it's just a simple switching - you obviously haven't had the pleasure of using an Android device. It's not that quick to go back and forth - definitely not efficient...
Not that it matters a lot, Android vs iPhone interface is largely a matter of personal preference and what you know... I'm not sure which one you're saying is not efficient...
In any event...
I currently have two email accounts setup. My iPhone main page Mailbox settings reads:
Mailboxes
Inboxes
All Inboxes
Gmail
[email protected]
Accounts
Gmail
[email protected]
I wish there an efficient way to move back and forth while in the "Inbox" between accounts. Also, Why does one gmail account show as "Gmail" and another as the actually address?
The names are based on the names you gave the accounts when you set them up.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the account you want to re-name. Go to the "Description" field and put in what ever you want.
Second, there is no way to quickly choose a bunch of emails to delete. I have to manually go into each one and move it to the Trash folder.
If you tap the edit button in the upper right while in mail, you can select multiple items to move, delete or mark (flag).
I don't want any of the condescending remarks, that I've read here and in other forums. I'm honestly looking for a solution, which I think you are too! One thing I realized is that iPhone users in these forums are really defensive and quick to say "that's how it is, live with it, if you don't like it go away" Um...the only thing that tells me is you are pretty bitter and have kept telling yourself that, to force yourself to like your device. I prefer to express my issues, and find solutions. There is ALWAYS a solution...
I think what you will find is that many people here, myself included, tend to get a bit short with people who start off with attacks or whining about how something has been asked for for years and should be easy, rant about things that have already been beaten to death multiple times in the forums, talk about how much better Android or BB are at something (really... if it's that much better, why did they buy an iPhone to begin with?), etc., or continue to ask questions that could easily be answered with a simple search, or even just by looking back at the last dozen posts to the forum, half of which probably asked the EXACT SAME question.
I don't think any of us go out of our way to be rude or uncivil. That said, attacking the people who are attempting to help you is much more likely to generate a response of 'if you don't like it, go away', than it is to generate something that will be truly helpful.
