I have been lied to and Verizon has wasted over 18 hours of my time hanging up on me and placing me on hold with no solution
On the morning of a charity event that I was running for 350 inner school children my phone asked if I wanted to do an update. I clicked yes and life as I know it has changed. The whole charity event was messed up because I had everyone’s assignment in the phone and the lollipop update made it hard to navigate. One of many things that is wrong is everything I do, I get a pop up asking me if I want to use One Touch Wizard. No matter how many times I click always use one touch, I have to go through 2 extra steps for every move I want to make on the phone. I called Verizon and they stated that they are sending everyone new phones because this update was so bad. However, they cannot send me one because on day 3 after I bought the phone I dropped it and it has a tiny crack in the screen. This crack has never effected the phone and my problems are simply because of this update. In approximately 18 hours of tech support, I have been but on hold for 15 to 45 minutes at a time with no one coming back until I ultimately just gave up and hung up. Often I was promised a call back and it never happened once. Again, I had to call back and start all over. I would call back and have to start the support process all over again. Because of all of my time and the data I had to use for updates and such a Verizon rep gave me 1 gig of data per month for 12 months. I called another time and they said the rep was not authorized to do this because I was on a loyalty plan. So this means that when a Verizon rep tells a customer something you cannot believe it because they can take it back. The only reason I am on this plan is because I paid for several months while I had a non working phone. Verizon sent me 18 straight defective phones. They were deemed defective by the manufacturer. Verizon has no respect for all the time I wasted and I almost lost my job because of it. I now have a phone that is effecting my job and my life and Verizon wants me to pay for a new one. I feel that I am being strong armed and this is a principle thing for me. I decided to post here before I file reports with the BBB, Attorney General and the FCC. I look forward to Verizon’s reply. Thanks!

Im wondering why my post hasn't been answered yet. I did file a report with the BBB and I had a rude representative from Verizon call me named Steve. He said I can file all of the reports I want and I will just keep getting calls from him. I can understand why my phone couldn't be replaced because of the small crack. I guess I have to eat that one (but it sucks because the lollipop update is what caused the problems) but what about all of the data overage I had to pay for for trying to fix this phone because of a lollipop update. I dont think it is fair to have to pay that as well. In addition, because I have an east coast phone number but live on the west coast, I cannot have tech support after 8pm. Verizon has cut this off. Im very dissatisfied and I have been a customer of Verizon for 13 years. Im hoping for a response this time.

How do I download OS X Lion faster? I have been trying to download for the past 36 hours without success.
When I tried to download and install Lion using the App Store, I found that it would just HANG when I entered my Apple ID, and would never start the download. It was never getting past the login. I searched the forums and found other people with the same problem but no solutions.
In troubleshooting it myself, I stumbled across something that worked for me. I wanted to just make sure I had the right password and that my Apple ID was still working, not disabled, so I logged in with my apple ID on iTunes. It worked so I then went to the App Store and logged in again.
Once I did that, the download started and finished the way I expected. Over verizon FIOS, the download took me about 40 minutes, and then the install took 30 minutes after that.
So, if it is hanging and never really starting the download, try logging in to iTunes first, then the app store. It might work for you too. -
I have atempted to gift a song to someone. I have been charged for it but it was not received. I tried to re-gift it and was charges a second time but the recipient still has not received it. How can I get the song to her or my money back?
First, have the recipient check any anti-spam filters that may be present on her email account or in any email application to make sure that messages from Apple aren't being blocked. If she is sure that is not the case, go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Since HTC is going to start unlocking thier phones and Verizon has no issue with that
Since HTC is going to start unlocking thier phones and Verizon has no issue with that
those who have unlocked their phones should have no issues with warranty unless they alter the OEM Rom or install a different rom
Most people want to root to get rid of all the bloatware
So we are back to why not let us remove what we want and put this to rest....

I think VZW has no issue (if that is actually true) is because if a phone pukes and it has been rooted, their hands are washed of providing a replacement.
You hit it right on the head, just because they do not lock down bootloaders still does not change that rooting and installing unarthorized firmware or OS violates TOS and voids warrenty which cleans Verizons hands to replace device if it gets damage while doing any of these things to device. -
Hi, I reecntly purchased a Mac and the Pages App. But now I find that I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. It is visible in both the Pages Windows and under Recent Items but just will not open. Any suggestions please?
Hi Colourdoodles,
Maybe the document is corrupted. Can you open other Pages documents? Preview may open it. Right click (or control click) on the document in Finder and Open With > Preview.
If that works, Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy. Then paste into a blank Pages document. Formatting may be messed up, but you will have editable text. Then Save (with a different name), close and see if you can open the new document.

I just upgraded to the new mobile me calendar and now all my calendar entries on iCal have been erased. As I type this the calendar entries are still on the mobile me and iphone calendars. How do I restore the calendar entries to iCal?
Please always post your System details when you have a query. The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required). -
I have been using Lightroom 4.4 successfully for over 2 years. Just tried to import some new photos after a vacation and the application crashes when I click "import" every time. Tried restarting computer. Version says it is up to date.
How do I get formal support for this from Adobe?Thanks for the response. The application was crashing. A Windows message was displayed showing "Lightroom.exe has stopped working", "Windows can check online for a solution the problem.". Etc.
I just launched Lightroom to check the exact message for this reply - and the Import worked. It had failed dozens of times before. -
Hi, I have been using CS5 for a while now, but had to wipe my computer clean last night and now am unable to re-install my adobe on the same computer. Help please.
Can you describe more about what you summarize as "unable to re-install my adobe on the same computer." ? What actions do you take and what results? What messages do you get? Are you able to install it on a different computer?
Since you use the word "same", it might be a case that you do have another machine that the install is functional on. If so, or even if you installed a couple of times on the same machine, it might be a case where your activation allowance has been used up and you need to have them reset. If you contact Adobe Support thru chat you can ask them to reset your activations so that you have the two allotted to you available again.
