The thing is, Troy, the guys at the store can do it so fast.

And, wow, you have an eight-digit access code? I have six, didn't know you could have eight.

Subject: [TechTalk] setting up a new iPhone from scratch

Hi all,

I ordered a new iPhone SE 2020 today and it's supposed to ship in about
3 days so I'm expecting it likely early next week.

I ordered it through the TMobile store but it'll be shipped directly to me, and I'm trying to decide if I should take it back to the store when I get it and have them restore the backup I made from my old phone or if I can try to restore it myself. How difficult will restoring the backup be, and will that be all I'll need to do to get the phone working or will I need to do other things such as entering my 8-digit code from the old phone etc? I know that I'll likely have to put my fingerprint in again on the new phone but will there be anything else?

I remember when I received my first phone 4 years ago that I had to do the entire setup from scratch, and I remember being able to get voiceover going but then I had to have help from my sighted cousin to get things like the language set, my id code put in, etc. If I have to do the same thing with this new phone I'll just take it back to the store and have them help me. I've purchased I think 2 new phones since the first one 4 years ago and each time I had somebody at the store I bought it from help me get it going.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Anne, thanks for this. Now it's acting like mobile Facebook did before.

Hi.

From the desktop press windows q to open the search dialog. Type com and you should here command prompt. press applications or shift f10 to bring up the right click menu and press down arrow until you here run as administrator.

press enter and alt y if you get the user account control dialog.

now you should be in the command prompt.

type sfc /scannow and hit enter.

Wait for the command to complete, note, it could take a while.


There are other ways to get to the command prompt as well, feel free to use any one that you wish, but you do have to run it as administrator for the command to work.


HTH.

Press control plus y,

This opens  your folers list in outlook.

Press the letter d til you hear deleted.

This is the deleted item folder; press enter to open.

This is where the deleted  messages are until you delete them for good.

Ok that’s a silly statement.  If I delete an email that I’d like to find, how would I find it?  I’m using Microsoft outlook.

Thanks all.
