Upgrading from Original to 3GS. Please help.
I am wanting to upgrade my original generation iPhone to the newer 3Gs. I am planning on giving my wife the original generation iPhone to replace her Blackberry Curve. My question is:
Once I purchase the new 3Gs, will the new phone sync with iTunes and put all my current Apps like I have everything on this current phone? I assume once I register the phone with iTunes my phone number will be transferred to the new phone? As for my wife, how will she get her phone number to the original iPhone that I am giving her? Does she just register the original phone on iTunes as well or should she swap out her SIM card with the one in the original phone?
Please help, this is my first iPhone upgrade and I don't want to mess anything up and lose all my Apps that I have. Thanks!
See this: How to replace an original iPhone with an iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109
Here are AT&T's instructions for your wife: Give these instructions to the new iPhone user to activate or upgrade:
Customers new to AT&T or adding a new line to an AT&T account:
1. If an AT&T SIM card is not provided, visit an AT&T Store and inform them you need a SIM card for your iPhone (www.wireless.att.com/find-a-store/).
2. If an AT&T SIM card is provided, insert the SIM card into iPhone.
IMPORTANT: If your activation was processed in an AT&T store, you must choose the Existing
Customer option in iTunes.
3. Complete the activation process at home or work via iTunes at www.apple.com/itunes
Existing AT&T Customers
1. Use current AT&T SIM card.
2. Complete the activation process at home or work via iTunes at www.apple.com/itunes
The iTunes activation process will perform a credit check when activating a new line of service. iTunes will also allow you to transfer your number from a different wireless carrier, select a rate plan and required data plan, upgrade your text message package, set up your iTunes account, accept iPhone and AT&T Terms and Conditions, and download the latest version of software to your iPhone.
How to Insert/Remove the SIM Card
To insert the SIM card, insert the end of a small paper clip into the hole on the SIM tray (located at the top of your iPhone). Press firmly and push it straight in until the tray pops out. Insert the SIM card so that it is positioned within the tray’s form. The gold side will be visible if the SIM card is positioned correctly. Close the tray.

Problem upgrading from 10.6.4 please help
Hi
My daughter has a 2009 iMac intel. She recently got an iPhone5 and surprise surprise it's not compatible with her OS.
She was on 10.6.4. I ordered Snow Leopard 10.6.8 update v1.1 and she tried installing it. It worked for about 2 hours then said cannot install requires 10.6.5, 10.6.6, 10.6.7 etc updates.
She download all these and when trying to install combo10.6.5 update got this error
error -4960
We repaired disk permissions and followed this (see below) to no avail.
Found this in another thread from the appletoolbox site, given by user 'Chris'
http://appletoolbox.com/2010/04/mac-os-x-10-6-3-fails-to-install/
This worked for me to install 10.6.5 and the file related errors (unidentified format etc.) went away with this. My install used to fail while the image was getting expanded/extracted.
The steps to do (as given in that site) are:
1. Open Terminal (under Applications, Utilities)
2. Type “sudo su” (without quotes)
3. Type your password (you must have admin account)
4. Type “sysctl kern.maxfiles” (this will show you the max open files allowed currently)
5. Type “sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=####” replacing #### with a number much larger than your current maxfiles setting. For example, if your maxfiles is currently 12000 change it to 24000 or maybe 30000.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET THE UPDATES TO INSTALL?? And is it possible to just flatten the hard drive and install fresh from the 10.6.8 update v.1.1 DVD?
We would rather just upgrade incremetally if possible to keep all her stuff on the drive.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
NickDownload Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
You downloaded an incremental updater. You needed the combo updater above. The updaters cannot install a full version of OS X. For that you need the Snow Leopard installer DVD that came with your computer. -

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller

You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it. -

Hi friends, I have a Mac Pro OS X 10.5.8, I want to upgrade newer version its possible, please help to get a solution

MujeebSee options below:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -

Also do a search, using the serial number, on your local Craig’s List. Some users list the serial number of a stolen iPad to thwart the sale of a stolen device.

My iphone is at tech service and since it is in guarantee period most probably they will give a new one.Thats why I want to deactivate or sign out my apple ID from that Iphone. Please help me, what shoud I do?
Wow... you seriously over paid for an iPhone.
That probably explains why you have/had no clue you were purchasing a locked device and think it's an Apple problem to get it unlocked. -

I have a collection of thousands of ebooks mostly in epub & a few in PDF formats. After migrating to Maverick all books disappered from my Ipad. Please help. In itunes library book option has vanished. What do I do?
Hi Akshay,
If you want your images to appear standalone with no other page item on the page, then you can insert Page break on an image.
This is how you can specify a page break:
1. Select the image
2. Goto Object->Object Export Options
3. Select EPUB and HTML tab
4. Select Custom Layout check box and then check Insert Page break. You can select from the option in the dropdown-Before Image, After Image, Before and After Image as per your requirement.
Regarding your question about images:
You export your graphs as JPEG but are those JPEGs of good resolution? If they are, then InDesign is doing something wrong during export but if the JPEGs are not of good quality then it is not an export issue. Please provide some more details here.
Regards,
