Another Customer that Regrets Staying with VZ
Been with Verizon for several years, and was satisfied with FIOS service. From the value paid for services, sadly can't say the same. We cut the cord last Fall and had Triple Play bundle -- we still had to subscribe to a TV package to watch / record shows on cable networks, as well as pay the $5 monthly fee to rent the cable card. We were no longer under contract, but the "barebones" Triple Play without STB, DVR service still cost $124.99 --> $150+ with fees and taxes. Like everyone, we constantly get mailers for these great offers, which of course, are only available to New Subscribers. Called in to cancel service & switch to Comcast Xfinity. The customer representative convinced me to stay with Verizon. He arranged for service to be cancelled the day before the install. After the call, we decided to downgrade to the Custom TV plan -- also was frustrated how all the promises made by the representative wasn't documented in the automated emails that were delivered much later that day. Called back the following day and spoke with an awesome representative who was incredibly helpful to ensure we were getting the best value in services and stayed in our budget (already invested in building out a HTPC and tuner - which we had hoped to recoup in savings when we returned the STB and dropped DVR service). The representative sent follow-up emails IMMMEDIATELY and during the call of the promises of $350 prepaid Visa gift card & installation, activation fees would be waived -- they still have to send a technician out for ??? (On day of install, everything was up and running...the tech didn't even know why he needed to come to the house) After the "install," we decided to change the channel packs. For whatever reason, the My Verizon portal is SUPER SLOW. We wanted to change the channel packs, and inadvertently changed the internet speed from 50/50 to 25/25. Called back the following day, which was a HUGE MISTAKE. We had received a promotion to upgrade to 75/75 with Quantum FIOS gateway router stated as "Free." The customer representative was definitely shifty ... the representative gave me a quote for the first monthly bill - but assured me that whatever promised were made previously would be honored & to disregard the $60 + in fees (which are broken up into 3 monthly charges) ---> WHY DO WE HAVE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER INTERNET ACTIVATION & INSTALLATION ???? The representative REFUSED to send any follow-up communication, stating he didn't have access & "not to worry." I was totally furious when I received the email with preview of first monthly bill with the new changes -- which didn't arrive until later that day. FINALLY received the first monthly bill. The bill is 8 pages long.... obviously the rep hid the "Free" router ... now we're going to pay $185 for the next 3 months. In addition, the bill contains charges for random "deferred" charges from 2010. At this point, I'm willing to pay the ETF, 3 weeks into service (as we didn't get the first monthly bill until 2 weeks after service). FWIW: the quantum router is worse than the older router. And watching FIOS TV is a horrible experience, with audio constantly dropping. OH: I love the daily reminder calls at 7AM every morning that we haven't returned our equipment. They now have new policy: $650 penalty EVERY MONTH is charged. BYE VERIZON...
We're pulling the plug. Got an antenna for about $100 (we get 65 free stations), got a Channelmaster DVR+ for around $300 (it has everything a cheaper TiVo has but with NO monthly fee EVER), and got a terabyte hard drive for around $60. Expensive up front, but we're paying nearly $200/month for a home phone we never use and a TV lineup with channels we don't watch! We'll keep high-speed Internet, but I'm hoping to save at least $100/month after we regain what we spent in equipment costs and for paying a six-month early termination fee. With our free channels, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Netflix, we'll be paying only $30 a month. We also switched to Republic Wireless--unlimited calls, text, and 1 gb of data for me is $25/month. If I don't use all the data, I get a refund on the next month's bill. For my husband it's unlimited calls, text, and .5 gb of data for $17, again with a refund for unused data. I'm thinking that the days of these big companies gouging everyone are coming to a close as people wise up.

Why are my text messages showing up on another iphone that I sync with my account?
I have two iPhones, both synced to one computer and iTunes account each with separate phone numbers. When I send a text from my iPhone
or a text is sent to me from another iPhone, it shows up on my second iPhone. How can I configure to stop it?These are iMessages which will show on all your devices if signed into the same iMessage email address by design.
Settings > Messages > Receive At > Change the email address to a different one than the other phone. If it's your Apple ID, you'll have to sign out of it on the phone you're changing (won't affect other Apple ID functions). To sign out, tap ID at top of setting page.

My father has thousands of tracks in ipod nano uploaded from his desktop computer itunes, but he wants several tracks from my macbook pro laptop itunes. Is there a way to get my tracks into his nano without deleting the thousands of tracks. It seems ridiculous to delete all the tracks just to get a few more. By the way, he does not have a desktop computer anymore, and the only way to get tracks is from my laptop. Also some of the tracks in his nano, he does not own the CDs anymore that is why he does not want to automatically delete his thousands of tracks in his nano. When he had his desktop, he had his own itunes account, and i have my own itunes tracks. We want to share music although we have our own account. Please help. Thank you Apple.
No. If you have different iPod using a different iTunes acct. you have no choice but to delete the songs and upload your. itunes won't let you transfer songs from different iTunes acct.

I have been a loyal customer for years and have a hot spot because internet options are very limited in our rural area. I have stayed with 10G since the beginning. Most months I don't use the 10G. Verizon has no problem with me paying for Data I don't use. This month my daughter comes home from College and she accidentally uses 24G.....14 over get blind sided with $140.00 in overages. I called Verizon today......stopped in to the store today......My neighbor told me they waved charges for her one time. Lots of charges.....But I'm am getting no help. Not even an offer of a payment plan to help me out. I went back just 6 months and I have over paid for 19G.....Seems like they would like to help out their loyal customers!!!! Does anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with them? We are not wealthy....or I would just pay this and walk away......
There is a big misconception in what customers believe a cell carrier is obligated to do.
You pay a set price to use up to that amount of xx data. It makes no difference if you use it to the paid limit or way under. Its like peace of mind when you don't have to worry about a data counter.
Your daughter used the data, your plan is quite clear of what overage charges are. Why should or would Verizon wireless just forgive the charges because you are a customer? Your daughter used the data, get the money from her. That is the responsible thing to do.
There is no "I have been a loyal customer so please remove the $120, or $250, or $2,000.00 since I did not mean to use it"
Your electric company, or gas company or any other company does not remove valid charges. Why should Verizon wireless?
Just pay the invoice and don't think you are being mistreated because Verizon is a business and not a charity.
Good Luck -
HELP! I subscribed to imatch on my mac so that I could access the songs anywhere with my iphone. However since I live in a rural community I would like to make playlists that always stay on my phone in case I don't have service. Not sure how.
I have the same issue. While I am sure your solution would work, my playlist has over 6,000 songs and hiting every song to download it is not very practical. Is there another way?
I am looking to have a subset of my music physically on my phone so that I can play it without internet access, but have access to the entire library when I do have internet access. -
How to interface a tuxedo app with another application that uses tcp/ip socket messaging
How would you interface a tuxedo app with another application that
uses tcp/ip socket messaging? I have a vendor product that offers
a tcp/ip message interface, and would like to know how best to
integrate it into a tuxedo application. I could write a C application
that listens and accepts incoming request from the vendors application,
and then make a tuxedo client call to a service. But this doesn't
allow me to control the listen thread through tuxedo. The C application
would have to be started seperately and would not take advantage
of the tuxedo restart facilities etc of a tuxedo service.You can make an empty server only with tpsvrinit that starts your client
listeners and a tpsrvdone that stops them. Be carefull with sharing ipcs
between processes, or your clients may get puzzled!!!
Another choice can be builting a custom WSL/WSH but I haven't done
this yet and I don't know exactly the troubles related with making them.

Vtok video chatting is not working on my iphone 4s. When I try to do a video chat with my gmail chat contacts who are using a PC we each only get the voice part of the chat and no video. Is there some way to fix this or is there another program that will let me video chat with my gmail chat contacts? Thank you.
You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them. -
I need to use an existing ID (email address) on a new iPhone. It tells me "choose another ID - that one is in use," with the option to "use existing ID," however, it is an endless loop, referring me only to change my password on the existing ID.
How do I enable my new device with an existing ID - I do not need to change the password for the millionth time!
None of the FAQs (or the Community choices below) address new devices, they are all about APPS and iCloud stuff.If it is an existing iCloud ID, you should be able to just go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with it.

Just installed Lion and the Magic TrackPad and I am having a problem with one click commands. I have to hit the pad fairly hard with one finger to get it to accept the command. Is this normal, is there another way that I am suppose to execute commands?
No you just need to turn on Tap to Click. Go into System Preferences - Trackpad and click the Point to Click tab and select the first box which will say Tap to Click and you should be in business.

Hello. I don't live in the U.S. and I'd like to buy a new mini IPad retina. But I see it is offered with four mobile operators. Does that mean I cannot use another operator, in my country, with it?

I recently bought an ibook g4 with osx 10.5.8 I would like to downgrade to 10.3.9. I spoke to 2 people at the genious bar. One said to buy osx 10.3 9 on amazon. another said that might not work as the upgrade to 10.5 could have made internal changes.
I have another ibook g4 with 10.3.9 on it. Is there any way to utilie this?
Thanks
Jim CThanks Niel.
Bear with me, as I'm not particularly computer literate.
I found the computer listed (Powerbook 6,7, 12 inch screen) and the following note:
"Details: *This model is capable of using Mac OS 9 applications within the Mac OS X "Classic" environment provided with Mac OS X 10.4.11 "Tiger" and lower ("Classic" is not supported starting with Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard"). It cannot boot into Mac OS 9."
Does this mean if I purchase OSX 10.4.11, I can install it and then use software that works in the "Classic" environment?
Again thanks for your help.
