We bought an iphone 4s for our daughter. We transfered it to straight talk. She can make calls and text no problem. She can use the WiFi but is unable to use the internet or mms. How do we update the APN?

To clarify for anyone who is still having any problems doing this.
1. Unlock your phone with the carrier ( I know the process will work if it is jail broken but I am assuming you dont want to void the warranty on your phone) NOTE: even if you purchased the phone outright at Wal-Mart it is still locked to ATT so you will have to unlock the phone. If it's already unlocked skip to step 2. This works and will work even if you update the phone.
1a Here is the link to unlock a ATT iphone. Simply follow the instructions https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
2. Get a T- mobile SIM. Even if you don't want the service, if you feign interest, they will send you one for free or 99cents. If you need it now you can get one at a T-mobile store too.
3. Once you have both your Straight talk SIM and your T-mobile SIM follow these instructions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFFf5uqk18M
4. If you have any remaining questions look at all the responses posted previously on this thread or check out the Howard Forums Wiki: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Straight_Talk_iPhone
Everything should work flawlessly at this point. If not let me know and I'm happy to help when I can. I hope this makes doing this very easy for everyone in the future. God Bless -J

Hi there. How were you able to solve it? I have a one year subscription to EW and I was able to receive a couple of issues. But now, I cannot download the new issue anymore. Please help.
Thanks.

I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5, but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I hv a wifi connection. the ipad is detedcting the wifi, but still unable to connect to the internet.

I have a wi-fi connection. The Ipad is detecting the connection, but i am not able to connect to the internet.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

My iPhone 3G can make calls and i can hear them but they cant hear me......

I just got my iPhone 3G yesterday and when I make calls, that person can talk to me and I can hear them, but when I talk they cant hear me. It has nothing to do with the mute button though. But if I use the headset or a bluetooth device I can talk to that person. How can I Use the phone itself without a headset or bluetooth. HELP ME PLEASEEEE!

Sorry to bump a really old thread, I'm a bit behind the times considering I just got my iPhone on Monday so please excuse...
I'm having the same exact problem with my new iPhone but I bought mine at an AT&T store, can I still take it to the Genius bar to be replaced?
I dread going to the AT&T store like no other, but all of the LA and OC area Apple stores had been out of the 8g iPhone for days and I couldn't wait any longer to get one. I'm hoping this doesn't mean I have to take it there...
Thanks in advance

My iphone can make calls and receive them, but i cannot hear anything on the other end. Anyone ever have this problem?

I had this same problem, but it seems to have disappeared after I discovered that Bluetooth was on and turned it off (General menu in the Settings app).

HT4993 I downloaded iOS7 to my sprint iphone 5 and now i can't recieve calls. I can make calls and send and recieve texts, but cant recieve calls. What do I do?

Help

Thanks for the heads-up. Seems others are having the same issue. There are some other threads if you search. Keep us updated as I am on Sprint and am not going to update until this issue is resolved. Thanks.

When iPhone is on Cellular data and WiFi, i cannot make calls and phone goes out of service.

So I have this iPhone 5S unlocked version from the US which I am using in India. When I am connected to my office wireless and also the cellular & 3G data are switched on, my phone goes out of service and I cannot make calls. I can also use internet.
However this works great when I get onto my home WiFi along with cellular & 3G data switched on, I can make calls and also surf the net with the WiFi.
Is anyone having similar issue? I am sure there is something with the office WiFi but what could it be to get my phone out of service.
Any thoughts anybody ?
Thanks,
UG

Yes I shutdown WiFi and I can connect to 3G on Cellular. I can make calls.
If I shutdown Cellular and connect WiFi. I can make calls.
Its just that when both are ON, then no calls can be made.
All combinations work good with Home WiFi.

I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad. We both have our own itunes accounts and music match wont let me put music on hers. how do i get around this?

I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad. All the music is under my itunes account yet she has her own itunes account so she can have her own apps and purchase apps with gift cards (She's only 9)
I subscibe to music match under my account but it wont let me put my music on her ipad under hers or even my itunes account. I get some sort of 90 day error message. How do i get around this so I can let her have my music on her ipad?

iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

How do you update the song/artist information on songs that you have loaded to the cloud. Some are not displaying correctly on my Iphone.

I have loaded all my music to the cloud from my hard drive. When I am viewing the music on my PC from the cloud it wasn't displaying all of the song/artist information correctly. I took the time to go into each one that wasn't displaying correctly using the "get info" option and I updated them all. Now they are displaying properly on my PC but not on my Iphone. I'm sure it was because of the way they were loaded. My question is how do I update the information for the music that is on the cloud so it will display to my Iphone correctly (and the Ipad I just bought but haven't setup yet?

Pretty sure I just downloaded the .exe files to the SD card (I have a directory called "drivers" there & ran from Windows, no need to boot from anything else. Didn't even need to use Safe Boot. The files do need an .exe extension IE someimes downloads as _exe. No idea why but would just need to rename if download has the underscore and not the period. The you can run them.
Was so easy I really did not think about it. One of the Intel Platform drives does say "requires 1.60 update" so that is the one you need. Do the 1.60, reboot, and then the Intel update.
Key point is the release note on the Intel Platform Installer
"Release Notes
1.Please install the Windows BIOS version 1.60 or higher for Encore WT8-A (PDW09x) before installing this Intel Platform Installer update." note this says "BIOS" and not "USB BIOS" which is a smaller file.
