About those new data plan rates......

not sure how accurate this is since it only cites droidlife and doesn't appear to have got any of the info directly from verizon, so take it as you will:

They really should fire whoever came up with that pricing scheme. Really doesn't make sense to have the cheapest tier at $30 for 2GB when they claim most people use much less than that. Oh well, the QOS better increase substantially or they're going to have even more unhappy customers
They did release some good news today though.

RALEIGH, NC — Verizon Wireless announced today it is turning on the world’s first large-scale 4G LTE (Fourth Generation, Long Term Evolution) Network in Raleigh-Durham, N.C. on July 21, 2011. Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network is the fastest and most advanced 4G network in America.
The deployment of Verizon Wireless’ 4G LTE in Raleigh-Durham, N.C. also provides LTE coverage throughout the surrounding areas of Cary, Apex, Clayton, Morrisville, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Gorman, Wake Forest, Rolesville, Knightdale, Wendell, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Garner and Smithfield.
congrats pjnc! 20mbps is pretty nice!!!
as far as the pricing goes (if this is even accurate), my guess is that they have figured out that $30/month is an acceptable minimum plan. i rarely us even close to 2gb's and would love to have a $20 plan for up to 1gb.....but they tried the $10 plan with media phones a couple years ago and then did those promotional $15 plans over the past holiday season. i suspect that they figured out that daily users of data are fine with $30 and that people that only pull email once in a while or download a game on a media phone will just pay the few bucks per month it costs to do those sorts of things. apps are getting bigger and the amount of data being consumed has drastically increased in the past year. i suspect that 2 years from now (i believe the average customer always signs the 2 year contract) 2gb's wont seem like much and we will all likely be using that much data???

How to activate an old iphone (after restoring it) without a new data plan

First off thanks for any help – I've seen the support article Using an iPhone without a wireless service plan and it no longer seems to reflect the current setup for the iTunes Store.
I have an old original iPhone that I've been using as an iPod. Works fine, but for some reason I wasn't able to replace some old photos with additional music. So, I decided to restore the phone and wipe it clean so there would be more space for music.
After the phone was wiped clean, it needed to be reactivated. There's no way to get into the phone or load music onto it without activating it, as far as I can tell. I saw the support article above, but after going through the steps in the iTunes store there was no way to active the phone without purchasing a $20 a month data plan. I know there's another way (or there used to be) but I can't figure it out.
Basically, just need to active my old iPhone, so that I can continue to use it as an iPod touch, without purchasing a new data plan.
Any help would be appriciated, thanks!
-joe

More info – the phone was used (by me) with a data plan for about two years.
The SIM card that's in the phone is the same as when I first purchased it.
I can easily activate it – just not without purcahsing a data plan.

Can I use the same plan that I have for my iphone 4s with my new ipad? or do I have to buy a new data plan for my new ipad? I would love to use my new ipad away from home but not sure how to use it?

Can I use the same plan that I have for my iphone 4s with my new ipad? or do I have to buy a new data plan for my new ipad? I would love to use my new ipad away from home but not sure how to use it? I am on Telus mobility with my iphone 4s.

See the answer on the same question you asked a few minutes ago.

Why do I need to choose a new data plan for the Galaxy Nexus?

So I've been waiting to upgrade my OG Droid to the Galaxy Nexus.
I have the "unlimited data" plan (grandfathered in). My phone is eligible for an upgrade, but when I add it to my cart, it tells me that I need to choose a new data plan because my current one isn't eligible.
I thought once you have the unlimited data, you keep it until you cancel the line or switch to a non-smartphone?
Is this an error on line or if I go to the store will the tell me the same thing?
Thanks

So I went to the store, and they told me the phone would be $320 instead of $250 like the online price. So, I left and called the customer service number and they told me that the order should go through with the unlimited plan selected, but it doesn't. So they made a note and said I'd have to call customer service after activating the phone to get unlimited data back on to it.
Has anyone ever had to do this? I don't want to get this with a "new" data plan only to have them tell me that they can't put unlimited data back onto it for 29.99/mo.
Thanks for the responses
How are you getting it for $250 on line? Do you have a discount or NE2 credit? Sounds like you didn't go to a coorporate store and went to a Franchise/3rd party store. They can't see employee discounts or NE2 credits.
It will be around $320 with tax and fees, and your data plan WILL stay the same in store. Since they said you have to call CSR it further makes me believe you went to a franchise or 3rd party retailer.

Question about voice and data plan for Europe

I am in New York and my boss is going to France for a week and a half. He told me he will not have access to the internet there. He asked me to find out if it would be possible to get a voice and data plan for the month that he will be there, and if so, could someone show me where I could look at the different plans available?
If it's not possible to do that for just a month, then could someone tell me where I could find the rates are for voice and data in France?
Thanks

Hi kevindrosario,
I appreciate your interest in our International Services. France, is a GSM country and will only support a Global capable device. Unfortunately, its not clear if your boss has a Global capable device. If so, here are the details for the voice and data rates for France.
If your boss doesn't not have a Global capable device, no worries! We offer an Occasional Global Traveler program, in which we will loan you a Global device for up to 21 days. I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any any additional questions or concerns.
Thank you,

Weird Problems With New Data Plan

Hi. I just received a new Droid smartphone and have been having a great time looking through the phone and seeing all of the cool things you can do with it. I have downloaded a couple of programs and what not by connecting to my home Wi-Fi service, but I haven't used up THAT much MB's of space. However, this morning I got a text from verizon saying that I exceeded my $15 a month Data limit, but I don't see how this is possible. When I go to my account online and check out how much I've used, it tells me I've used up about 28 MB's out of 150, which is the limit. Is this just a glitch or is it a problem I need to to address with haste? Will it add on to the bill? Also, has anyone else had this problem before?

It can take a bit of time to update, like the last poster wrote. If I can make a suggestion, though: with using a droid device, consider placing the unlimited package and cutting the loss from the increase. If you go over, even by a byte, it will charge you for another full 150MB allowance, basically eliminating the savings. The Droid devices are insatiable data hogs (it is like slop to them). I see a lot of instances where users go over this feature when attempting to save a bit of money. On the Droid phones, it is usually not worth the risk of overage.

Why is the new data plan offered only 4GB or 10GB?

I currently have 8GB plan for $70. This plan works well for me. I hear Verizon is not only offering a 4GB and a 10GB plan.
At times when I go over my plan I'll up the data for one month then return it back to 8GB.
Verizon is now going to keep me at 10GB for $80 and not let me keep my 8GB at $70.
Seems like their plans are not working for me. Going on 2.5+ years of loyalty with Verizon.

Your info is correct. I agree it is a strange and unnecessarily large jump that puts those that need something in the middle in a difficult position.

New Data Plan

I noticed now AT&T has an enterprise data package for business users, however with out exchange capabilities what is the difference? Does this mean an update is coming soon for enterprise users?

Derrick Andrews,
When the iPhone first came out it was not possible to have an iPhone line on a company paid wireless account that was a business account.
That has changed.
As for working with Exchange, Exchange comes with IMAP abilities which is a standardized protocol, in addition to its proprietary Activesync protocol.
This is an outline of what needs to be done on the server for Exchange to do IMAP:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307313
If the business doesn't want to open a port for encrypted IMAP as outlined in the article above, another option is to use VPN and not open a port in the firewall specifically for IMAP. This article discusses which VPN protocols the iPhone supports:

Data plans in the new wireless world

I see an impending collapse of many peoples internet service approaching soon and very little discussion on the topic, so I decided to write this to help inform Verizon of some of its customers needs.
       What originally attracted me to Verizon was its effort to push beyond the big markets and reach all of America. Create a country where everyone is "connected". Join Verizon and we will take care of you no matter where you live. These are the ideas Verizon has pushed onto people over the years and I commend them on doing a very good job at reaching these goals. The issue is, they have acquired such a large customer base it is now creating problems. An excellent marketing tactic of wireless service providers was always to offer up unlimited data plans to attract people to their service and this used to create very little risk for the service provider because wireless data was slower the telegraph!! Cellular providers used to sell phones, now they sell computers. Have they adjusted to this new market accordingly?
       When you had a 3G phone or even back when it was 2G or 1XX paying extra for unlimited data was pointless. As Verizon's CFO recently pointed out "Unlimited is just a word" "people don't use near the data they think they do" this is exactly why they could profit from unlimited data in the past, because this was true. Have you ever tried to stream a hi-def movie on 3G service? you were lucky if it wasn't pausing to buffer every 10 secs, what did you do every time this happened, you stopped trying to watch it!! Therefore you didn't use the data required to stream that content. Now just when wireless technology is finally becoming fast enough to be useful or enjoyable, it is being shut down.
       The new 4G LTE services have finally made it possible to reach 8-10 MB download speeds on regular basis. You can stream a full 1080 hi-def Blu-ray quality movie with 7.1 surround sound if your internet connection speed is over 5 MB. This sounds great doesn't it, finally I can watch SyFy, Hulu or Vudu with my aircard. This is the problem Verizon is facing, because that one 90 minute movie from Vudu at 1080 hi-def just sucked up 5 GB!! No that was not a typo, full hi-def streaming video will push 4-5 GB in a couple hours. Verizon had to curtail this "excessive" data usage by reverting to tiered plans or "shared data" so with the new data plans that was a $50 movie, at that price you would once again stop watching it and not use the data required to stream that content.
       Verizon broadband could not handle this volume of data being used when people started getting 4G internet service, so they had no choice but to end unlimited plans or be faced with the reality that they could not support there millions of customers data usage. For most people this will not create a big issue because they probably still live somewhere that they have access to other internet services such as DSL, Cable, or the best at Fiber Optic. DSL and cable will usually have a plan that creates fast enough internet speeds for streaming video but you will have to pay for a premium service.
       This however does create a step backwards, in what seemed like a step forward for the rural community. 3G unlimited aircard was a great option for rural community's, finally offering them an affordable internet service that often could still play Netflix, as well as all the normal uses such as e-mail and browsing, although it would not stream a 1080 hi-def movie it could at times stream a standard-def movie. Now with unlimited going out the window all those people that thought it was going to be so great to upgrade to a 4G aircard and finally watch movies, quickly realized that wasn't going to happen and worse Verizon is showing signs of completely eliminating all unlimited data as they course through their contracts looking for legal ways to stop honoring them, and for those that they can not stop honoring they have started to "throttle" usage when it exceeds a certain amount usually around 2 GB a month. This is perfectly legal to do, almost all ISP's will do this this when you exceed a certain amount of data, the difference is when your ISP offers 8 MB connection speeds and throttles you down to 5 MB speeds because you use a lot of data, you never really notice it unless you download media instead of streaming it and your downloads seem to take longer then normal but it doesn't effect you enough to complain. When your internet speeds are 1-2 MB as they are with 3G service, throttling brings you down to 300-600 KBPS!! They will throttle your speed down so much that you can't do much of anything except e-mail and browsing, Netflix will not work anymore, so thinking you can stay with a 3G device and just keep what you have isn't an option. They are forcing everyone into new plans.
       In the past it was very hard to use 10 GB of data on a wireless carriers broadband because speeds were to slow to allow use of all the online media. Now it is very easy to use 60 GB a month if you like movies and online TV. (That is 60 GB without downloading any media just streaming it) Perhaps if we are lucky Verizon will once again return to the table and look for ways to help their rural customers without taking are internet away from us. If I could pay for DSL from my local phone company I would, but I do not even have a phone line tied to my house, and if I decided to get one it still would not have internet access. But due to Verizon's efforts in expanding there 4G service across the country as quickly as possible I do have excellent 4G wireless service available in my home. Just as I thought it was time to get a Verizon aircard and start watching movies again, they told me you will never be able to afford it.
      If Verizon can create a rural community data plan for users that have no other means to access the internet and and it doesn't cost $600 a month then I will happily buy it, and also understand that it cannot cost $30 a month either, but if people could get, Phone, Internet (with say 50 GB limit), TV (by tv I don't mean Verizon TV that I agree should be an addition to the bill, i mean the free hulu, syfy and payed netflix accounts that are accessible with any internet connection fast enough to stream), Movie Store in their living room (Vudu) all in one package I think that $200 a month is a reasonable price.
     Now all I can do is wait and see who calls first. If Verizon creates a new data plan that allows media streaming at a reasonable price ill buy it. If my Local phone company offers me high speed internet and phone first, ill buy that instead and throw my current $140 month Verizon bill in the trash when I end the contract. I will not have 2 phones, I only have a Verizon phone because I have no Land line in my home. So I guess the race is on to see who can maintain the rural community's business.

Changing To New AT&T Data Plan, Breaks Voice Mail

Sorry, but I'm posting this in several iPhone Hardware Discussions, since I think it applies to all versions of iPhones.
I'm also sorry if this has been posted before, but I'm not looking for help or answers, I'm providing them.
I have been on the $30 per month unlimited data plan with AT&T. Today I decided to change to one of the lower cost, lower monthly data rate plans. I called up AT&T and they made the change.
What I didn't realize is that making this change broke my voice mail. Well, more specifically, it broke the voice mail on all 5 phones in our Family Plan.
By breaking voice mail I mean that people can no longer leave you voice mail messages. If they call you, they will get the standard message that this person does not have a voice mail box and you cannot leave them a message.
Unfortunately, you don't realize it's broke. Since no one can leave you a voice mail, you don't get any voice mail notifications. AT&T doesn't send you a message stating that they just broke your voice mail. Your voice mail is broke and you don't know it.
It was my wife who figured it out. She had several missed call notifications, but no voice mail notifications, which seemed odd. When she clicked on the voice mail icon, she was prompted to Set Up Your Voice Mail. There was no list of her existing voice mail messages. Just a button to click to start the set up process. Which she did. She was asked to enter her PIN and record an outgoing message, even though she had done this the first time she set up her voice mail. She entered both her PIN and outgoing prompt. But when she clicked Save she got an error message stating that she could not set up voice mail. Her voice mail needed to be set up, but it wouldn't let her. There was no suggestion in the prompt telling her what to do or why it was suddenly broken.
So, I called AT&T. The person I spoke said I needed to power down the phone, which I did. After powering the phone back up, voice mail was still broke. I was then transferred to AT&T tech support. That person told me power down the phone. Which I did, but with some skepticism. After powering the phone back up I was told to go back into voice mail, which was still asking me to set up my voice mail. I followed the prompts and entered my PIN and recorded my greeting. This time it worked. Not only did I get voice working again, but I could see all the old voice mails I had. Unfortunately, I cannot get any voice mail messages during the several hours it was broken because none could be recorded.
Technical support person did fix the problem. However, I had to contact all family members and we had to go through this same procedure (power off, wait, power on, re-enter a new PIN and greeting) for each and every phone. This took somewhere close to an hour of my time.
The AT&T technical support person explained to me that since I changed my data plan (from unlimited to 200 MB) new "configuration" data needed to be sent to the phone. To get this data to your phone, you have to turn the phone off so they can send the data. Then you have to renter all your voice mail data.
Incredible.
So, as I said, I'm not looking for help or answers. But I thought posting what I went through might be helpful to anyone else who might change their data plan.
Changing data plans = Broken voice mail .... Which requires a long phone call to technical support and reentering your voice mail data.
Sheesh.

I've been a cell phone user since the early days of analog cellular. Back in the days of brick phones, of which I was a user.
I've been a customer of of Cellular One, Ameritech, Verizon, T Mobile, Cingular and AT&T.
I've never experienced loosing my voice mail as I did today.
I considered my voice mail broken since I could not access my visual voice mail on my phone, I could not reset my voice mail on my phone (following the prompts on my phone) and no one could leave me a voice mail message if they called me. I called AT&T customer support and they could not get my voice mail working. I'm not sure what more could be broken, but I would classify my voice mail as broken.
You may find it acceptable to have your voice mail broken (or perhaps cut off) if you change your data plan, but I don't think that's acceptable.
I don't see how I made a major change to my account. I didn't make any changes to the types of data I can send or receive. The only change I made was to opt for a lower cost plan that delivers all the same data. That change resulted in all 5 members of my family plan to loose their voice mail.
You may be correct that all this needed was for it to be reset. But, I can't reset it. The customer service person could not reset it. It took the tech support person to be able to reset it. All of which was about an hour on the phone.
I don't think this experience should be typical. Maybe it isn't. Maybe for some strange reason, in my circumstance something more went wrong. But, that's not what AT&T told me. They told me what I experienced is typical.
So, I thought I would post this for people that might experience this issue, or think about changing their data plan so that they would know what to do.
But, perhaps I was wrong in using this Discussion site to post what I thought might be helpful.
I'm sorry. I will (as I told a previous poster) delete this post. As soon I as I figure out how.

Unlimited data plan and discount dispute on new phone

Problem #1
Before the unlimited data plan was discontinued earlier this month, I added it to my current plan (phone is an LG EnV3)
On Monday, 7/18, I became eligible for a new phone upgrade, and wanted to purchase the Driod Incredible 2.
While on the website, I noticed that it would not let me keep the unlimited plan while upgrading, so I contacted an online service rep.
A screen capture of the conversation can be found here -->   http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/5640/chattk.jpg
The online service rep, Logan W, told me that I could keep it, all I would have to do is contact customer service afterwards and have them make sure that my current package stays.
Flash forward to today, I called customer service when I recieved my new phone, and was told that what your online service rep told me doesn't matter, that you can't keep the unlimited data plan if you move from a "feature phone" to a "smart phone."
I told her that is not what I was told prior to purchasing the phone, and she basically said she didn't care, she would send a ticket to some department to see if I could keep the unlimited data plan, but it was up to them, and that I would get a call back with their decision in 24 to 48 hours.
Problem #2
On Monday, 7/18, the Driod Incredible 2 was shown on the Verizon Website as $159.99 - $50 online discount = $109.99
A screen capture of the webpage --> http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/5301/pricee.jpg
When I added it to the website's cart, it took off $30 for my loyalty discount, resulting in a price of
$159.99 - $50 online discount - $30 loyalty discount = $79.99
But when I reached the final page of check out, the price went back up to $109.99. I asked your online customer service rep about this (as seen in the above transcript) , and he said that all I would have to do is call customer service after the sale and they would credit my account for the missing loyalty discount. I then purchased the phone for $109.99 + $8.80 tax = $118.79
Back to today, after I inquired about the unlimited data plan, I asked the customer service rep about this credit. After checking it out, she would not believe me that the starting price was $159.99.
She at first said the phone price was $199.99 and I did get my loyalty dscount, but $199.99- $50 online discount - $30 loyalty discount = $119.99 + tax. When I told her that wasn't the case because that was more than the $118.79 I was billed, she told me that "somehow I get a better deal and should have been charged $10 more"
I tried to tell her that her pricing does not line up with the facts (my screen capture, my order email). She then told me that my phone was somehow actually $$139.99 and I got my loyalty discount which brought it to $109.99. It was like she was trying to fudge the numbers so they came out to the right price.
This is a direct copy & paste from the first email I recieved from [email protected], that again shows the original price was $159.99 with a $50 online discount.
Due Now
Equipment Upgrade:
1   HTC DROID INCREDIBLE 2 -regularly $159.99         $109.99*

Taxes, Governmental Surcharges & Fees: $8.80
    NY Local Sales Tax* $4.40
    NY State Sales Tax* $4.40
Total charges to be billed to credit card: $118.79
Your customer service rep would not budge, she told me if I didn't like the price that I could send the phone back within 14 days.
I am amazed at how I was told one thing by your online service rep previous to purchasing a new phone and agreeing to a 2 year contract, but after I get the phone, I am told something completely different by your customer service rep. I feel this is totally dishonest and a great way to make people hate your company.
All I want is VW to honor what I was told previous to purchasing this new phone. If I can not keep the unlimited data plan I will be returning the new phone and moving on to another phone provider.

Reply to your first point:
I was unaware of this *exception* to the rule when I ordered my new phone and agreed to another 2 year contract. I did my due dilligence by asking a verizon online service rep to confirm that my unlimited data plan would transfer *BEFORE* I ordered. I did not know of these forums until after my most recent call when I searched google for "verizon complaint forum."   I didn't read your "transcripts" because it's a moot point - that is Verizon's policy plain and simple, and although I agree it does suck, and it's TERRIBLE that they didn't warn customers properly, the Verizon reps did not know any of the details of the new plans until they were put into affect. (Also, online reps will do ANYTHING to make a sale/commission... Just be warned for next time. I had a 2 hour conversation with one when I wasn't even eligible, who was trying to get me to pay full price but make it sound like it was discounted.)
Read the transcript. Logan W. didn't say "maybe it will" or "probably it will" he said ""As long as you contact customer service when you get the phone to have them activate it for you they will make sure that you're current plan stays."
Also, it really is none of my concern, as a customer, about the inner workings of verizon, if the unlimited data plan is broken up to 2 different codes, 4 codes, 8 codes, etc, I'm sure if I was the CEO's brother, they'd get it straightened out in about 5 minutes. As is, I'm just a 7 year customer, which appearently means very little. But clearly it is of your concern, when this is the reason you are not getting your data plan, isn't it? You're MAKING it your concern.
Reply to your second point:
Again, I was not aware of these forums until after I ordered the phone. I have a screenshot showing the original price ($159), the online discount ($50), and the price after ($109). Verizon's customer service people should be able to see that I was also eligible for my $30 loyalty discount on that date. But, the customer service rep I talked to stated she didn't care if I had a screenshot or not, that if I didn't like the price of $109 then I could return the phone. That was just that specific rep. You'll learn that each rep has their own way of doing things. Some are more sympathetic than others. Just keep calling until you find a rep that will take your screenshot. There have been numerous people on here that have done this, and have gotten their discount. Just like certain reps will move your upgrade date up, and others won't.
And that's the sad part of all of this. Her attitude wasn't "how can we make this right?" it was "if you don't like it, then send the phone back" You'd think Verizon wouldn't be so hard headed when I'm trying to give them my business, but appearently what I'm getting is a "if you don't like it then leave" attitude. Like I said, each individual rep. Not everyone in one company has the same attitude/demeanor.

Question about iphone 4 and data plan..

I have the 3GS with unlimited data.
I am getting the iphone 4.
I will be giving 3GS to wife.
Will the unlimited data plan only stay for the 3GS?
Or can it be transferred to the iphone 4?
Or can I get unlimited plan for both since I'm an existing customer?
Thanks!!

You can continue with your unlimited plan on the new phone. Your wife will have to choose one of the new data plans for the 3GS.

Will my $20 data plan need to be incresed to upgrade?

I know that new iPhone 3G users pay 30 dollars a month for unlimited data then whatever on top of that for text messaging, but I would much rather keep my $20 unlimited data which includes 200 text messages plan if I upgrade. Is there anyway this is possible? or will I need to have to spend about $15 extra a month?
Thanks

I'm sure you would like to keep your current data plan for the first generation iPhone as would all first generation iPhone owners that decide to purchase an iPhone 3G.
The cost for the unlimited data plan for the iPhone 3G is $30/mo and does not include any SMS. This is at&t's standard unlimited data plan rate for PDA style phones or for phones in the smart phone category, and is not negotiable.
A 200 SMS allowance will cost an additional $5/mo, which is also standard.

In IPhoto I changed movie dates after thumb nails were created in IMovie but the new dates are not showing up in IMovie. Is there someway to refresh the IPhoto event in IMovie?

Background: I'm transferring file folders from a Visa laptop via an external hard drive to my IMac. In the folders are photos and videos from different cameras. SO I first tried to import to IMovie but it would not recognize any of the files. So then I imported into IPhoto and both photos and videos were imported and I created events for each folder. When I first opened IMovie I had to wait for it to create "thumb nails". Then I could view the events in IMovie BUT the video clips are not together because they have vastly different dates and are mixed with videos from other events. I looked at the dates and said I can fix that in IPhoto which i did but those new dates are not showing up in IMovie. I think I need to somehow refresh the event data that Imovie is using but have not found how to do that in either IPhoto or IMovie.
I'm doing this on three events with about 100 photos and videos. But I have many 1000s more to do so need to know how to either fix this or delete these events, reimport, change the dates, then open again in IMovie. I'm sure that would work but I can't understand why changing the dates in IPhoto is not being reflected in IMovie.
Appreciate any tips or pointers.
OBTW this is my first question as a first time Apple owner.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

About those new data plan rates......
