Veterans are no longer getting a discount
I am very disappointed to find out that US Veterans are no longer getting a discount on our service plans. I can not believe that this is just another company who is no longer helping their veterans.
The point is BEYOND the "employee" part of the discount. The discount should be extended for years of loyalty. For telling friends and coworkers about Verizon and what a great company it is and give a wholehearted personal recommendation. Word of mouth recommendations are worth far more to me that a company ad on TV. I expect it's that way for most people. But that won't happen if the company ignores the loyalty of it's customers and treats them in such a shabby fashion.
" . . . as it is neither an "ethical" or "slippery contract" issue.
The fact is that people are surprised the discount is not part of the contact. Shouldn't the contract be more clear concerning this? It seems that little detail doesn't get mentioned enough. Let's go to the definition of ethical: "Being in accordance with the accepted principles of right and wrong that govern the conduct of a profession. So is it ethically wrong to reward loyalty?
"Not sure why you would think I would be "that angry rschnoor"
This is why . . .
"If you read thru enough threads on this forum, you will see many instances where I criticize Verizon's policies. I have no problem showing my disdain for Verizon if the circumstances deserve it. " Evidently the circumstances concerning loyalty in this discussion doesn't mean a thing to you. Perhaps you could point out the discussions where you took Verizon to the woodshed by showing your disdain. Or to save time, tell me exactly which of Verizon policies you are in disagreement with?
rcschnoor Is the concept of company/consumer loyalty completely offensive to you?

As of yesterday, calendar subscribers are no longer getting event alerts. We are not exceeding the limits for number of calendars, and have not installed new hardware or software. What else could be causing this, and how do I fix it? This is critical!

For all retired employees thst will no longer get your discount..............
Just received an email from the business dept. saying that I am no longer entitled to my employee discount because I have retired. I was told in one of the stores that retirees did still get the discount. I received an email asking me to update my employment status. Anyone out there that has receive this email also...BEWARE......... you too will be losing your discount soon. If you upgrade or extend your contract, you will also be screwed for two more years. My contract is up next July..... Time to check and see if Sprint still offers discount to retirees. Bigger discount anyway. Just one more example of a big company sucking every penny out of us they can. I am now on a smaller fixed income and my bill is going up 20% Thanks a lot.................
I am not saying the email is not genuine but make sure it is before you click on any links or give out any account details.
The BT Sport was only free if you are customer with BT broadband contract. See the "Legal Stuff" in this link

No longer get a Signal. My zip code is 32421 in NW Florida
My zip code is 32421 in NW Florida, Just about the middle of the map, just below Interstate 10. I have been with Verizon since it took a portion of ALLTEL, was with Alltel since they took over another company and was with that company when they took over one. I have not personally changed providers in at least 15 years or more. My problem now is that my signal strength has become almost nonexistent where I have always been all these years. It seems like the fall of 2013 I had good signal but it started dropping. I finally change from a Motorola Maxx (I think it was) and now my wife has a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I have the S4. The other 2 phones on our contract (grandkids) both Apple 4's have the same problem. My son and his wife, who live next door and with Verizon also have the same problem and timeline. It is like a tower(s) have been out of commission for a while. My phone roams at times while in the house. If I have my phone set to announce when it loses the network or regains the network, it became to irritating to have to hear it. At one point we could almost use our cell phones exclusively at home. Now we are bound to landlines. I've never had any problem with Verizon but have become quite upset during the last 6 months to the point of trying something different when our contract expires. We are no longer getting the service we were getting with earlier contracts. Please help. Tell us what we can do or what Verizon is going to do to check this out.
The signal is ever so slightly higher outside as would be expected, but still not high enough, often enough to be depended on. In fact it is more prone to roam when stepping out of the house than inside. I have to drive several miles Northwest (approximately 7 miles) towards the intersection of Interstate 10 and SR 71 in the panhandle of Florida, just south of the town, Marianna. When heading east on SR 286 from SR69, through the Ochessee area to I-10 and then heading east for about 10 miles from the Apalachicola River are several dropout areas of low to no signal, but since we're moving it is for a very brief period of time. Getting back to my house though, the service that I had as late as last summer, both inside and out, has significantly declined. Just based on my driving from my house, it seems that a tower North of me has dropped. You can find these roads on Google maps, in fact you can find them by zooming in on the Verizon Coverage map, find Tallahassee in North Florida and follow Interstate 10 to the west for about 50 miles. The problem seems to be from SR 286 to SR 69 then to SR71. Along a stretch about 17 miles south of Interstate 10 in between these 3 intersections is where the problem seem most prevalent.
I'm not sure what you meant by follow and send a private message. The only option I see for me is "Reply". Please excuse my ignorance. -

I keep getting error message, "can't open application PACE because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I've run Clean My Mac and I still get the error.
Use the Finder "Go" menu while holding down the option key to expose your User / Library folder.
Look in the Application Support folder for PACE items and delete them. -
When trying to setup my external hard drive, I get this box that pops up and says this:
You can’t open the application “LaCie Setup Assistant” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.PowerPC was a type of processor used in Mac systems before Apple switched to Intel-based processors. These older chips required applications to be coded differently, to the extent that they will not run on the Intel processors in newer Macs. Apple used to include a translator that allowed these programs to at least run, but this translator is no longer available so if you run into an older PowerPC-based program then OS X will give you this error.

How to get back purchased music when computers are no longer available...
We were hit by lightning, again, and lost my wife's Bondi iMac. Those of you who know them realize that they didn't come with CD burners...so we didn't back up her music purchases. In addition, I recently lost my job. The music I purchased on my work computer was purged while I was getting my pink slip. So, I was unable to back it up as well.
So, we have a handful of songs that we purchased on other computers that are no longer available to us. I emailed Apple a couple weeks ago and have not received any answer on how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated.You have posted on the iTunes for Windows forum
If you have tracks on an iPod then this post which covers macs as well may help:

I am afraid Apple has a download once policy, but you have done the right thing contacting them as I understand they they will occasionally make an exception in special circumstances and allow another download.
Here is a link to an iTunes store contact page, but I expect you have that already:

Seven of my albums from iPhoto 9.5.1 are no longer visible. The photos are still visible in iPhoto, but the albums are completely gone (another 10 albums are still visible). The missing albums are visible in iPhoto Library Manager (I downloaded the free version and when it loaded the library the missing albums were visible)
About 6 months ago 4 different albums disappeared and I assumed my kids had accidentally deleted them; however, they haven't been allowed to touch the computer since then, so I can't blame them this time! Last time I lost albums I spent hours re-creating them but I am hoping that there is an easier way of getting the metadata to function again - I know I could create a new library with iphoto Library Manager but I would have to buy the full version and can't afford to do that.
Not sure if it has anything to do with updating the application? (I updated recently and I'm not sure exactly when the albums disappeared.Use the rebuild function in iPhoto Library Manager. That does not require a purchase. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. -
I installed Lion 10.7.4. Went to use Photoshop Cs and got a popup window. You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there a way of getting this to work or do I have to get newest version of all of my Power PC apps?
Welcome to Apple Communities
PowerPC applications are unsupported in newer versions. You can upgrade Photoshop or you can install Snow Leopard in a partition.
1. Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) and select your drive
2. Go to Partitions tab, press + button, create a new partition and press Apply
3. Insert the Snow Leopard install DVD and reboot pressing C key
4. Install it in the new partition
5. If you want to change boot, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select 10.7 -
I recently got an Iphone and after I installed it on my computer my 2 ipods are no longer able to sync to the computer how do I get the computer to recognize the 2 different ipods so I can still use them?
Since you already had two iPod before getting the iPhone, what exactly did you need to "install" to use the iPhone? Doesn't it use to the same iTunes installation you already used with the iPods?
So, I guess my question is, what changed on the computer when you started using the iPhone?
What happens now when you connect the iPod? Is the iPod still seen in Windows device manager? -
Can anyone help me figure out how to sync my ipod with my purchased music? I have used several computer and at one point synced my ipod with a computer that only had about half of my music. My other computers are no longer working. Not sure how to get my purchased music back onto my ipod?
Hi kimcinma!
Your previous purchases are saved on iCloud even if you bought them on another computer. If you can't find them on your current computer, you might need to unhide them. Go to iTunes preferences, and click on Store Preferences. Then click the box for "show iTunes in the Cloud purchases". Then click on OK, and everything you've ever bought from iTunes on that Apple ID will show up in your library. You will need to download them from iCloud first before you can synch them to your iPod Classic. To do this, click on the little cloud with the arrow in it next to your song, and it will download to your computer. When you have the music that you want downloaded, plug in your iPod and synch away. Hope this helps!

I am getting a message that says power pc applications are no longer supported
You no longer need the Epson utility. As of "Lion" and later versions of OS X all scanning functions are incorporated natively in OS X.
You can scan three ways:
Use Preview: File > Import from scanner
Use Image Capture(Preview and Image Capture are both in your Applications folder.)
System Preferences > Print & Scan. Select your device and use the Scan tab. -
I recently upgraded to iOS 8. Looks like the pics I had in my messages are no longer appearing as pictures, rather they are appearing as JPEG files (not broken jpegs). I need to get these pics. Can't figure out how to do it. I'm on an iPhone 5C.
I've tried resetting my phone, looking for the pics in the new 'deleted' folder. I tried forwarding the jpegs to sees if they'll appear in a new message (but turnout the phone won't let me forward these pics). Apple is trying to say it's the 30 day reason, but I know that is not the problem. ALl of my pics older than 30 days were viewable. It is the upgrade that screwed this up. Help! Important pics!Try this to learn about using keys:

As for iPhoto, it sounds like you were trying to move files around in the library. That is a bib no-no in Aperture or iPhoto.
