Already Converted 10 of my family members over to AT&T for Nokia Lumia 900!!!

Verizon,
You decided to drag you feet, promote the crap out of Android and stop supporting Windows Phone 7.
So I converted 10 of my family members over yesterday to AT&T for the Nokia Lumia 900.
I got them $100 credit towards the Nokia Lumia 900 which AT&T was charging $99 dollars for the phone on Pre-Order.
So my family members only had to pay $36 for the activation fee.
Verizon, you had your chance. You had multiple chances. If you truly wanted an LTE Windows Phone 7 from Microsoft, you could have easily worked something out with them, just like AT&T did.
All the information has been leaked out, Apollo/Windows Phone 8 was supposed to have LTE but because AT&T showed that they really were interested in Windows Phone 7 and actually carring a lineup of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft worked it out for them.
So you can take all your Droid crap that you have heavily invested in, along with all your iPhone 4s that keep hogging all the bandwidth on your network and stick it were the sun don't shine.
I promise you this, when my contract is done I will be terminating my account in FULL and switching over to AT&T as well.
To not even stand behind a product that we all have signed 2 year contracts with is unacceptable for the price were paying. To hold back all updates besides Mango is unacceptable just to lock in new 2 year contracts. And I'm talking about Droid too.
Carriers should not be in controll of phone updates PERIOD!!! Updates should be released from the OS Manufactures just like on computers. This business model that the industry has created is a SCAM, JOKE and an INSULT to everyone that puts there hard earned money up for phone service.
Verizon, you have lost all respect in my book, and I will do everything possible to get everyone and everybody I talk to away from your network.
Only way to solve this issue is to address the Windows Phone 7 community and actually annouce something, PERIOD!!! Release the 8107 update as a good faith measure and issue a press release stating your business model regarding Windows Phone 7... Unless you want more dollars going to AT&T.
Also, latest news shows that Android only made $22million in revenues last year, and spend $20 billion acquiring Motorola. So I don't see Andriod being able to do much in the year 2012 to ramp things up to compete against Windows Phone 7/Nokia and Apple.
Do Something, NOW!!! CAN YOU HEAR US NOW!!!
Also, here's another suggestion... Do like AT&T has done and give users a early termination fee to get out of there contracts. I believe they charge $35 dollars or something higher if your not satisified and want to terminate your contract early.
Since you don't want to support or offer any more Windows Phone 7, why keep us as unhappy customers. Give us an option to pay a early termination fee and leave!!!

Android is not a company but a phone operating system. GOOGLE acquired Motorola, not Android. GOOGLE's 2011 revenues were 37.9 billion, NOT 22 million. Google acquired Motorola for 12.5 billion, NOT 20 billion.

Again, where are you getting this information? The AT&T ETF is $325 less $10 for each month of your contract which has been completed. It is NOT $35. Verizon has a similar, although slightly higher ETF of $350 less $10 for each month of your contract which has been completed.
Yes, we can hear you, but you are not making any sense!

ESS - Family Members - Incorrect gender being displayed for Children

Hello,
On the "Family Members/Emergency Contact" page in ESS the Gender of the children is not being displayed properly. The first child displays with the proper gender but after that each subsequent child is being displayed with the same gender as the firts child.
For example, if the first child displayed is Male then all others will then be displayed as Male regardless of whether they are Male or Femail.
Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Daniel,
I guess it has to do with the HR configuration. How do the genders appear there?

For family members over 13, how can I require permission to purchase an app

i am now using family share for my teenage boys. It seems their Apple ids list them as an adult. How can I make it so they are required to get permission when. Purchasing an app. Right now they are linked to my credit card but I do not get that alert,

You would have to adjust their birthdays so they become child IDs. If you want to do this, go to appleid.apple.com to manage the ID, sign in. If you are using two-step verification on the ID, select the Name, ID and Email Addresses section, then change the birth date on the bottom right. If you are using security questions instead of two-step verification, select the Password and Security Question and answer the two security question to access and change the birth date. At the present time you can't just choose any birth date, but you should be able to change it to 1/1/2001, which will have child ID status.

Problem with Family members/dependents screen in ESS for Switzerland countr

Hi All,
We are checking standard Fmaily Members/dependents screen in Personal Information under ESS for switzerland and screen doesn't have some fields compared to what we see in pa30 for the same country.if we check for other countries ess portal screen and pa30 screen look similar.when we check switzerland country specific webdypro component layout is different from pa30 and some of the fields are missing.
why is this inconsistency with only switzerland country and is there any note available for this
Thanks
Bala Duvvuri

Unfortunately you have to, But since the fields are available in backend, It can be easily be made visible in the front end
changing the properties of the field
Do make sure you raise a development request if this indeed required by the customer, You can raise a OSS for it, But I am afraid answer wont be encouraging

The only ones I know of and have used are iFiles, Dropbox, and Aji Reader. My Yahoo Calendar also syncs with the native iphone calender app over the air.
Pardon my ignorance, but the iFile and Aji Reader apps require a wi-fi connection. I'm not sure that constitutes an OTA app or not.

Can I merge several different Verizon plans (different family members each have own plans) into one plan (i.e. can I take over all their lines), if all lines on all plans are on Edge?

I was originally told by Verizon that if I joined, I can eventually take over the lines of various family members. Now that I've joined, and my family members all upgraded their phones and are on Edge, Verizon is telling us that we can't merge into one plan (because Edge lines can't be transferred to another account).
Is this true, and, if so, what is my recourse since I was lied to.

Well, yes and no (as far as being lied to). I asked on several occasions (I have the chat transcripts to prove it) if there would be any issue if the lines were all already on Edge, and was told each time that under no circumstances would there be any issue. The latest being today (I know it's after the fact, but I wanted proof that this is what the chat people are saying). I asked "I have currently have an account with 3 phones on Edge. My brother and his wife, and my parents, also have plans all on Edge. I would like to 'take over' their lines. I want to make sure there is no issue with the Edge plan and that I can simply 'take over' their lines with no problems." I was told "Yes. That would be correct." Again, this is what I was told in the past as well (my original post didn't make clear the timing of the chats and upgrades to Edge..). Every time I chatted I mentioned that the accounts were going to be on Edge or (later on) were already on Edge. Even before my family members upgraded to Edge, not one single chat or phone representative (and my brother asked the same thing in a store) mentioned NOT to upgrade to Edge because it couldn't be transferred. Everyone just said yep, no problem. The ONLY reason I even joined Verizon (I was on Straight Talk) was because of the More Everything and Edge plans (we wanted a family plan with 6 people and over 10GB so we'd each save $25/line). Otherwise I never would have joined Verizon and my family wouldn't have upgraded either.

How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

I want to set up family sharing but it won't let me because all the emails are already associated with the one iTunes account we have. I am afraid to delete because my children use that email address for text messaging. How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

Hey Wendaroski,
I am not quite sure what you mean by "my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account" but what you need for each family member is an Apple ID. Yours would be the one for your iTunes account.
If the other members of the family already have an Apple ID you can invite them to join the family group. If not they will need to create one, using their email address. This article shows how -

I would like to add family members to my existing apple id that is used for my iCloud account. All of the family members already have existing apple ids. Can I make these existing apple ids part of my family?

Adding existing apple id to an iCloud family share
I would like to add family members to my existing apple id that is used for my iCloud account. All of the family members already have existing apple ids. Can I make these existing apple ids part of my family? I have tried this, but "verifying" the apple id always fails with "existing family member" or an error something to the effect "unable to do at this time, try again later."
Thanks

"am I still able to register another phone to the same ID?"
Yes.
") that I do end up creating a new apple ID "
This will cause complications. i do not recommend this.

Convert mov to format for non-mac family members!

I have 2 short videos that I need to convert so that non mac family members can view them. (I know, I should disown them). How do I do this? When I go to export and it appears that I am saving as jpeg, it doesn't work. Is jpeg only for stills?
Thanks!

JPEG is an image format.
Any modern machine can run the free QuickTime Player app and use it to view your iMovie exports.

I used to shoot video in my Powershot S3 IS (MVI_.AVI) and load it into iPhoto, I used quicktime pro so I could convert it for emailing to family members. That was when I was running Leopard now with Mt. Lion nothing works. Videos do not open at all?

I used to shoot video in my Powershot S3 IS (Format MVI_.AVI) and load them into iPhoto, I used quicktime pro so I could convert for emailing to family members. That was when I was running Leopard now with Mt. Lion nothing works. Videos do not open at all. Any simple suggestions, I am not real keen on iMovie Productions and not real certain how they compress for emailing attachments. Something simple here that I am missing? Thanks so much. I am a grandpa trying to share with family members far away (quickly & simply).

I am surprised that Apple did not build a converter into Mt. Lion.
Apple does have a converter built into Mountain Lion. It is call "Quicktime." However, in order to use this converter, you must first make sure the compression formats are playback compatible with QT. Basically, there are three levels of QT compatibility. The lowest is "Playback." These file can be played by QT but may not be conversion or edit compatible with QT. The second level is QT "Conversion" compatible. These files are playback compatible and can be converted to other compression formats using QT. "Edit" compatible media files are "Fully" compatible with QT since the can be played, converted and/or edited by QT. The main problem here is that AVI is a "legacy" file format that has not been officially supported by Microsoft for more than 11 years when it was replaced by Windows Media multimedia file/compression formats. Many of the original compression formats used in AVI files have never been transcoded for the Mac platform, use beyond system 9, or use beyond PPC platforms. In addition, some commonly used AVI codecs are proprietary or use non-standard (hybrid) profile and level combinations. In short, there is little wonder that Apple has been distancing itself from this outdated file type as it re-writes and upgrades its own QT structure to support more standardized, more scalable, more modern high definition file types and compression formats. It is really unfortunate that users continue to use this outmoded file type simply because it is freely available, easy to use, or they are simply too lazy to move on to a more modern or more efficient file types and/or compression formats.
I tested Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate for the Mac, which seems to be the "state of the art". I may be purchasing a new camera which might create a whole new set of variables. This program seems to cover all bases and is great for novices.
There are many third-party apps available if you wish to search for them. Many are even available in the App Store. Most do their job well and it is usually a matter of personal user preference as to which is best.
HandBrake seems more suited to folks with more experience and knowledge.
I mentioned Handbrake primarily because it is free and easy to use when you employ the included conversion presets options. (The TV options can normally be used for almost any situation depending on the source file and output requirements.) It is also excellent for more experienced users, but has a somewhat limited choice of output options as it does not access the user's system QT codec component configuration.

Managing multiple libraries for multiple family members

I have four family members with multiple iTune libraries, including two that need to be age appropriate for our children. To add to this burden, we now have an iPad as well. How do I best manage these libraries, minimizing duplicate purchases, enabling each to have store accounts for gift card purchases, and sync each iPod simply for those not familiar with the apple software? Can I merge our libraries, create different users with their songs and accounts for purchases and syncing logins? We have two operating systems in the home, mac and pc? Argh, this is cumbersome, my library has over 4000 items, other family members have much smaller libraries, but would like their own individual libraries. Should I merge and make separate playlists for each user? If so, how can I incorporate my own vast library of playlists already created?
Help me please, any suggestions?
Rob Mc

There are 3 options. See this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495
My advice is to use option #1 and have each user with a separate windows userID. They can each keep their own itunes library database file with ratings, play counts, playlists.
Have all the library content in a public folder to avoid filling the PC's hard drive with duplicates.
You can use a 3rd-party utility program like iTunes Folder Watch to update all the libraries when new content gets added.
Method #2 is easiest, but then ratings and play counts will not be separated. Also, they have to remember to log out of the itunes store and log in with their own ID when making purchases. Something to watch for when kids are involved with their own gift cards....this is not a problem with method #1.
Method #3 seems to give a lot of people grief because all users MUST use a shift-start of itunes to choose their own library. Woe has fallen on many who have tried this method.
As for using both Mac & PC, itunes & ipods are designed to only sync with one PC. There is a way around that, but you either have to do a lot of manual backing up and copying, or buy something like TuneRanger.

Multiple Family Members using a MAC

Hello,
Can someone give me an overview of how family members all use 1 MAC and ICloud so that each person gets their own "stuff"? For example, I would like to get my calendar, my songs, my contacts, my apps synced with my devices--iphone and ipad. And my wife would like her own stuff synced. Seems pretty fundamental but I could not find any info from Apple. Is there a way to do this if each person has a separate Apple ID? What are other people doing?
Thanks,
Matt

If each person has a separate Apple ID, as you stated, it should be no problem. However, i'm not sure exactly how you have your computer set up, if you have separate User accounts set up, or if you just use one User account.
You should create a separate User account for each family member. Decide if you want those User accounts to be Administrator accounts, or if they are Standard accounts, and set your Parental Controls as desired. You can also find the Parental Controls settings in the System Preferences as well.
So once each User account is established, you can copy over only the information for them (i.e. contacts, iCal events, iTunes music, etc).
Set up to sync their iOS devices with iTunes with their information on their User accounts, with their own separate Apple IDs, and everything should work smoothly.

I have been sharing an apple ID and icloud with other family members. How do I change my iphone so as to create my own account?

I have been sharing I-cloud with other family members. How do I change my i-cloud setting on my i-phone so as to creare my own account?

If you want to keep your iCloud data, you would need to migrate your device and a copy of the data to a new account. To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; others keeping the account will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on your own account, you can go to icloud.com and manually delete any data you don't want in your account without effecting anyone else.

Itunes for multiple family members

My situation is I've been using iTunes since its inception and built quite a library. I've been through multiple ipods and now on to iphones for multiple family members. All the while using one itunes account on separate devices for multiple family members. Now that we have iphones its become necessary to create separate icloud accounts for each family member. This creates a problem for those with new icloud accounts. The iTunes music library can no longer be shared on separate devices (that I know of). The music library and playlists I have built over years cannot be shared with those devices that now have separate icloud accounts. I am aware of "family sharing" and have set that up going forward but how do I resolve the issue of all the music and playlists that were shared when we all used one itunes account, prior to creating separate icloud accounts? I hope this makes sense. For example my wife and son no longer have access to any of the music/playlists on their iphones that they used to have prior to creating their own accounts. Even though all purchases made before and after creating separate icloud accounts were made using the same credit card.
I believe I could just go back to having the other devices sign back into my itunes account and I think that may resolve the issue but what happens to purchases that were made on the other devices while they were signed into their own accounts? Another point that comes up is that we all have gift card balances on each itunes account. This is so confusing

This is great news as I've been struggling with this issue for some time. Mainly because my wife is a little old school and likes to put music on CD's and this solves that problem. Thanks again!!
Mr Mars,
You are welcome! I hope you have achieved the expected degree of "harmony."
