One of the requirements for Edge is that there be no late payments in the previous 6 months. Whether or not the requirement is relaxed, who knows, but I would not count on it.
As to several people on one account, the account owner is responsible for the account. If the bill is not paid, it reflects on their credit report, no one else's.
Of course, the account owner can make payment any way they choose to do so, it IS their responsibility. If the account owner chooses to have the individual owners make payments on their own, it is still the account owner's responsibility to make sure the bill is paid. If you are worried that one user fails to make payment on their portion of the account, it may be in the best interest of the account owner to make payment in one amount and then individually collect the payment from the individual users. This can be done many ways, Paypal comes to mind. If the account owner does not feel comfortable doing this, they should not have agreed to be responsible for the account.

When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Is it true that After March 30, 2015, AOL will no longer support your ability to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store or did I just receive a phishing email?

I just received the following email.....Is this legit? Makes no sense.
Dear iTunes Customer,
Our records indicate that you have been using your AOL Username to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store.
After March 30, 2015, AOL will no longer support your ability to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. In order to continue using store features, including the ability to access your previously purchased content, you must transition from signing in with your AOL Username to signing in with an Apple ID.
To make this transition, simply sign in once more with your AOL Username to iTunes on your Mac or PC. You will automatically be taken through a few short steps to complete the process.
When the process is complete, your new Apple ID will allow you to continue to purchase and download music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, and more. Additionally, your Apple ID will allow you to access other Apple services, such as iCloud and the Apple Online Store.
This transition does not affect any AOL services you may be using with your AOL Username.
AOL Usernames which have not been transitioned to Apple ID will permanently lose access to the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store after March 30, 2015. Apple will be unable to provide support for AOL Usernames which are not transitioned by this date.
To learn more about this transition, visit support.apple.com/kb/HT204268.
Regards,
The iTunes Store team

The link that appears in the copy in the OP does not go to an Apple site, it is something to the effect of newitunes.com, whereas the text tells you it is an Apple support document.
However, if you take the text of the support document listed, I put it in my browser and it does lead to a legit Apple Support document about coverting. Convert your AOL Username to an Apple ID - Apple Support Seems this needs to be done by March 31, 2015, as AOL will no longer allow users to use their AOL identification.

these servers have windows server 2008 r2 enterprise sp1 installed.
we enter in the username and password in the rdp dialog box and click on ok. the rdp dialog box comes back for us to enter in the username and password.
we do have kb3046049 and kb3002657 installed.
is there a v2 of kb 3002657 for windows server 2008 r2 enterprise?
on one of the servers
1. I disabled rdp
2. stop and start the following services
remote desktop configuration
remote desktop services
remote desktop services usermode port redirector
remote procedure call
3. enabled rdp
4. added the users allowed to rdp into server
This allowed us to RDP into that box with the username and password.
But the other two servers the steps performed above did not work.
Any solutions for Win Svr 2008 R2 enter sp1?

TOSHIBA Video Player (released March 25th, 2015) update failed

Howdy, y'all,
On my C55D-A5381 laptop (Windows 8.1, version 6.3.9600 Build 9600, with all available updates), Toshiba Video Player 5.3.5.59 is installed. While looking for driver and utility updates, I saw that an update was released on March 25th, 2015. I downloaded the self-installer and ran it. The InstallShield Wizard named PatchProject offered 3 C++ redistributables: 2011 for x86 and x64, and 2005 SP1 for x86. I clicked Install but the installation failed:
Version of source build is not target build
Error: -2
What's wrong and how do I fix it?
Thanks much.

Run the Toshiba service station, under software updates check for updates. Does any updates show up and is one of them the video player?
Mine updated through the service station.:
Changes in this update
Fixed: Title names are displayed incorrectly when "title" is selected from the right-click menu on the video window during playback of a DVD-VR title.

I am honored to be on the list, however I wish it wasn't for the reason it was.
Unmentioned in your post is the outpouring of support for the Funimation channel. This channels cancellation, due to what is quickly turning out to be a less than factual reason of 'low viewership' from Verizon, has mobilized many of your customers. In fact, I'm sure that most of the people in your list this week were kudo'ed for posts in 1 of 2 threads:
Funimation Canceled!
Save Funimation Petition
If we are to look at the pure numbers, at the time of this writing those 2 threads combined for a total of nearly 950 kudos and 3800+ views. Even more telling: 198 of the 200 most kudo'ed posts are people SUPPORTING Funimation Channel and against Verizon's decision to cancel the channel. (http://forums.verizon.com/t5/kudos/leaderboardpage/board-id/FiOS_TV_Entertainment/timerange/one_mont...
IMHO (and no offense to Justin and his very helpful document) either of these 2 would have made a much more appropriate 'Thread of the week'.

Patrick,
Thanks my session verify function was causing the problem and I have removed it temporarily from my authentication scheme.
I am using the "check_timeout" function that was developed a number of years ago as part of a "How To" section in the old HTMLdb days. I knew there was an issue with this routine as the newer versions of the browsers handle cookies differently and I was going to redevelop it at some point. Do you know which part of the function causes the issue?
Many Thanks,
Jon

Post of the Week:
Thank you, jtktlw, for detailing such thorugh step-by-step instructions on connecting your Xbox Live with the Actiontek GT704-WGB wireless router.
Most Helpful Member:
This would have to go out to Justin this week. A member wanted help with "Setting up the IMG Guide to just show channels that they actually get" We were reminded at how helpful it is sometimes to point each other back to content/solutions already previously posted. Justin had written a user guide on that very topic previously with "Exploiting TV Favorites."
Most Noteworthy Quote:
"In contrast to those users who claim they aren't being given the speeds they were advertised, FiOS customers in our forums indicate they're actually getting more than they paid for." Great observation, Hubrisnxs!
