    What is Google Voice/Hangouts like on iOS?

    Right now I have a work-issued Verizon Samsung GS4. It has my work line, but I also have a personal number through Google Voice. On there I can receive calls/texts through the hangouts app. I've been given the go ahead to get an iPhone and transfer the service over to it. I realize that I...

    New unlocked iPhone on Verizon. Can I just pop in the SIM?

    That's what I was afraid of. So I assume I wouldn't be able to swap phones by swapping SIMS, right? Only one device can be associated with a phone number in regards to CDMA if I understand you correctly. The area I work in only gets Verizon "3G" so I suppose I need CDMA to work and can't have...

    New unlocked iPhone on Verizon. Can I just pop in the SIM?

    I've done this in the past with other carriers. I'll have an unlocked phone and just pop the SIM in and it works. Phone calls, texts, data... I've done this with AT&T and Cricket (also AT&T). Right now I have a work-issued Galaxy S4 through Verizon. I know I'll have to cut down the SIM to...

    Music won't download from iCloud

    Yes, I may have not worded it correct but I understand all of this. The problem started out of the box (literally), but after he performed the "new out of box setup" the issue went away. That was the counter-intuitive part of it for me - why the problem happened right out of the box from Apple...

    Music won't download from iCloud

    Issue Resolved. Just to bring this thread to a close in case someone else searches for this problem. The guy at the Apple store couldn't figure it out and decided just to do a factory reset. The reset resolved the issue. I guess the device fresh from the factory isn't exactly the same as...

    Music won't download from iCloud

    Just an update: I was able to dig up the old computer with all my wife's music and movies. I updated iTunes and synced her iPhone 4S to it so that the computer has all the latest music and movies she purchased. I then connect the iPad mini. I tunes sees it, I check the boxes for Sync Music...

    Music won't download from iCloud

    I tried that a few times, even a hard reset. No luck. No, the music was purchased under her current AppleID. She did have a few apps purchased a long time ago under a different ID that showed up and didn't download. We just deleted them. It just seems strange, it recognizes all the...

    Music won't download from iCloud

    Out of the box it was on iOS 6.1.2. I updated to 6.1.3 via iTunes. We just got it last night, so I don't know if a full device wipe would matter. I haven't tried a hard reset, just a power off. I will try that and report back. EDIT: hard reset hasn't worked either.

    Music won't download from iCloud

    She doesn't have a subscription, we haven't paid for that. Only the song purchases. So the $25/year subscription is required to download purchases on device?

    Hello iMore, former webOS enthusiast here.

    Hi iMore! I joined webOSNation (formerly PreCentral) back in 2009 after I bought my first real smartphone, the Palm Pre. That community helped me make the most of my devices. I developed an app in their homebrew community that eventually made it to the webOS App store and did very well. That...

    Wireless charging????

    I had a Palm Pre and currently use an HP Touchpad with Touchstone. For the most part, I feel it is a gimmick. Using a case with the device, while still allowing a charge, impedes the charging speed. Also, it can be picky on the orientation you place it. I haven't used the more recent Nokia...

    Does the next iPhone REALLY need to be thinner?

    I if it goes much thinner, i think there will be structural integrity issues.
