What Is Up With The Upgrade & Activation Fee?

I noticed that AT&T is charging both an 'activation' & 'upgrade' fee for iPhone 3GS users:
!http://67.151.114.194/pictures/20090612b.jpg!
Last year I remember AT&T charging me $38 activation fee. I read that the activation fee was cut in half, but they add an 'upgrade' fee which new users don't have. So in other words, AT&T sticks the $36 to you no matter what.
I wonder if AT&T gives a discount for not delivering MMS/high-speed 7.2 HSPA/tethering available?

Not sure why AT&T would charge me 'Activation' when I am already with AT&T.

  • What to do with the message: Activating embedded security chip

    Hello,
    I've been using a dc7800 for a couple of months without problems, running Windows 7. As the machine had only 1GB RAM, i added two modules of 1GB each last week. Apparently one of the modules is faulty, as the pc would not boot with both modules inserted.
    I swapped the modules a couple of times to find out which one was giving the culprit - i removed power from the pc, changed the modules and powered it on again to see if it would boot ok now.
    Now, after a few times the message "Activating embedded security chip" appeared on screen every time i powered on the pc. The message stayed for a couple of seconds, then the pc restarted and the message reappeared and so on.
    Pressing F10 during boot resulted in a "301 Keyboard error message" together with the "Activating embedded security chip" message, again with a restart after a few seconds.
    In an attempt to solve the problem i reset the cmos by pressing the internal switch for 5 seconds. Since then, after powering up the pc i only see "F1 Accept" and "F2 Cancel" on the screen, but keyboard input is not recognized.
    Again, the pc restarts after a few seconds.
    I upgraded the Bios to v1.32 some time ago, but i have never touched the TPM settings in the bios.
    Any suggestion to solve this annoying problem is much appreciated!
    Kind regards,
    Ruud

    Hey aries35,
    I found the following that goes over troubleshooting the same issue for the iPhone. I know you have an iPad, but the steps should still apply:
    Perform the following steps:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

  • What's up with the screw job on the Airplay mirroring?  Macbook Pro (mid 2010) too old to have feature included in Mountain upgrade?  Bull!

    what's up with the screw job on the Airplay mirroring?  Macbook Pro (mid 2010) too old to have feature included in Mountain upgrade?  Bull!

    Please read:
    http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/07/mountain-lion-airplay-mirroring-v-airparrot -fight/
    Mountain Lion's integrated AirPlay mirroring support only works with the following Mac models:
    iMac—Mid 2011 or newer
    Mac mini—Mid 2011 or newer
    MacBook Air—Mid 2011 or newer
    MacBook Pro—Early 2011 or newer
    If your Mac isn't on that list, your won't ever see an AirPlay option in Mountain Lion's menubar.
    What separates these Macs from other Mountain Lion-compatible machines is that these are the only models that have support for Intel's QuickSync technology. What confirmed this requirement for me was the fact that my Retina MacBook Pro switched to integrated Intel HD4000 graphics even when otherwise running on the discrete NVIDIA GT 650M GPU. No matter what you are doing or what resolution you are running, AirPlay Mirroring in Mountain Lion requires an integrated Intel HD3000 or HD4000 graphics processor and its QuickSync technology to work, full stop.

  • What to do with the old iPhone?

    My wife is getting the new phone next week and I had planned on keeping my 3G. Since both phone numbers are eligible for an upgrade I'm thinking of getting one too but not sure what to do with the old one. I guess it could be used as a WiFi-only gadget like an iTouch. Is there any market for these used phones? It looks like some are sold on eBay for $100-$200.

    If you do a quick Google search, you will find a ton of web sites willing to assist you in selling your phone. Some people choose to get cash for their iPhone via this site: http://bit.ly/bkcHPV

    I RECIVED AN EMAIL FROM ADOBE AS  :  As good will gesture, we can help you with the upgrade for PSE 13. We would request you to place the order for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 as an upgrade and then we will provide you the full version serial number for the same product against the new upgrade order"  IS THIS UPGRADE FREE AND WHAT SHOULD I DO, HOW CAN I HAVE THIS UPGRADE?

    Compare with on-line stores. The full version is often cheaper than Adobe's upgrade price.
    See this example from Amazon, but check pricing in your own region.

  • With the upgrade to LR 5.7 how can I directly import to LR from iPhoto?

    I thought with the upgrade to LR 5.7 I would be able to import directly from iPhoto to LR. When I go to the source list in LR I do not see my iPhoto library. What are the steps to get my photos into the LR library? Thanks. Paolo

    File -> Export is the command
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    A couple of comments:
    You'll need to decide if you want to export the
    Originals - your photos unedited and no added metadata like keywords and so on
    or
    Versions - the edits and added metadata
    or
    Both, but end up with duplicates in Lightroom

    Since upgrading to iOS 6, I cannot save photos to my iPhone or iPad or transfer pictures taken. Is it a glitch with the upgrade?

    Can you be a little more specific? Do you mean that when you take photos with your iPhone camera or iPad camera they are not showing up in the photo stream? Do you mean that you are trying to sync your photos to a computer and that they are not syncing? Just not sure what you are asking?

  • Phones with the same Active Standby Calendar as 66...

    Hello,
    I currently have a 6650 Fold Nokia Handy. I like it because the Active Standby Calendar does show you all appointments in the near future. For example:
    01.04 Date with Caroll
    03.04 Date with Jecky
    05.04 Birtday Paul
    07.04 Doctor
    Im very happy with it and I dont want to miss that feature.
    But now Im looking for a new phone and Im shocked that most new Nokia phones do only show 1 or 2 Calendar entrys on the Active Standby Screen!
    Even the E Series, wich is supposed to be Buisness Phones, do only show up more then one appointmens when they are on the same day!
    Can anyone tell me what Nokia Sliders have the same Active Standby Calendar as the Nokia 6650 Fold?
    Many thanks

    One the newer touch phones though, on shortcuts bar homescreen you can see up to 10 events listed.
    Only if all of them are on the same or next day.  It won't display them any further ahead than that.  So if you have one entry saved for today, one for tomorrow and one for the day after that it will only show two entries.  
    What could be an option to consider is an N97 or N97mini with the coming next calendar widgets installed.  This allows many entries to be shown from days to months ahead.

  • My 1st iMac, need help with the upgrade to Leopard CPU Drop-In DVD

    Hello all, my 1st post as a new Apple switcher!
    I just received my new iMac 24" today, and I am not sure about the upgrade to Leopard. (Came pre-installed with Tiger, and came with a Leopard CPU Drop-In DVD). I have read about a few issues with the upgrade / re-install process to Leopard, stemming from the rumor that the Leopard CPU Drop-In DVD is not a full version, but an upgrade only.
    First of all, obviously I am supposed to put in the "Drop-In DVD" and let it rip, but there are several options to pick from. One of them is upgrade, and another is to erase the hard drive and perform a clean install.
    My questions are:
    If I perform the erase and install, I have heard that iLife 08 will not be installed. If so, where / how do I reinstall that and any other apps that are left out?
    Secondly, in the future, if I need to re-install again, will this "Drop-In DVD" work because Tiger has been removed from the hard drive? Will I just pop in my Tiger disks like the old Windows stuff required?
    I plan on just doing the upgrade, but I would like to know what to do in the future if I have to do an erase / install.
    Thank you, and the iMac 24" is gorgeous!

    Hey, I know what you mean.
    I upgraded to Leopard after buying my first mac with Tiger.
    I rang customer service and asked how do I install iLife 08 if I do a clean instal,l as when i upgraded my Safari would not play flash, quicktime or open certain websites. Also I had a very long load up period with Blue Screen which bothered me a lot. (I know I am fussy)
    Anyway my brother suggested I use Pacifist to get the .pkg files from the Tiger boot disk. He took control of my machine as he has Leopard and did this for me remotely as I am not a wizard like him.
    By the way that is a great feature of Leopard.
    Anyway this worked for me, only iMovie would not start properly but when I download the updates to iLife 08 they all work perfectly now. Saved my 79 euro as well instead of having to buy again as I think iLife should be supplied on a separate disk, (bad form apple) as they know for many a clean install is likely if they experience serious issues upgrading.
    Anyway pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/ is worth a try if you can't afford to fork out for iLife again like me.
    Just make sure you select all the iLife .pkg files and composer files. when it installs if the files are already there just click leave alone and it will install only what it needs. Then run the updates if you have any issues opening any of the programs such as imovie and this should replace any missing files.
    I have open and run all the iLife programs and so far so good.

  • I have no idea what to do with the payments for stuff I bought on iTunes.

    Ok I had a card from a rebate atatched to the account and it has just expired. Now itunes wants me to pay from a different card for the things I bought in the week before it expired. I had the amount needed to pay for what i bought on the rebate card and bought my last thing before the card expired because i thought it would be stupid to let the money go without actually using it. I was looking today (it expired overnight) at itunes and now its saying i need to pay for them because the have not been pasyed for yet or something like that and i need to update the billing adress but i cant and dont want to one because i dont want to pay for something i had already had the money to pay for and they didnt charge me on it or something and 2 because i dont have another card to use bc i do not have a credit or checking or any card bc other than the rebate card i only have cash. sorry my question is so long but thank you for all the help you people can give me. ps i cant even get a card bc im 15

    The rebate card that my mom let me use was after they had bought a new phone and try had let me have what was left on it 7.92 and it counted as a visa credit card so I could use it to activate my account the problem is that I bought the stuff before it expired and it is now expired and it's sayin I still need to pay for what I bought with the old card and I don't want to pay twice for the same things that's just stupid I'm goin to get a gift card for the lowest amount so I can still get the free stuff but I don't think I should be responsible to pay for something thy I bought with a card that had the money on it for them to charge bc they debt send out the bill to them when I got the stuff bc there is stuff on it for like Monday saying I need to pay for it when the card didn't even expire till Thursday night
