Anyone know how to reach someone in customer service who will not out and out LIE to us?

Just so frustrated right now... in the near week since my husband's iPhone was stolen, we have spoken to four different reps and three so-called supervisors. Each one has either made the problem worse or actually lied to us. Does anyone know how to reach someone at Verizon who will help us? We have three iPhones with Verizon and are ready to leave for AT&T.
So far, this is what we've had:
1. As we were tracking the phone with the police to get it back, Verizon tech support advised us to wipe the phone because we'd still be able to track it. WRONG. Phone lost forever. Verizon clearly does not understand what "wipe" means on MobileMe. What they should have said is, "We don't know for sure, so don't wipe it."
2. Rep transferring my husband's phone number to a backup handset transferred MY number to that phone, deactivated MY iPhone and reported it as stolen. When they were trying to fix it, we were assured that our unlimited data plan would not be affected. WRONG. Reps are now refusing to give it back. 
3. Next rep advised us to get insurance on the phones because if anything happens, they are replaced for free. WRONG. $199 deductible, which we found out from the next rep. 
4. The supervisor we spoke to yesterday said she would pull the tapes from the call center, review them to make sure that IT gave us the wrong information, and then call us back the next day with a discounted rate on a new iPhone. She gave us her name and direct number... both of which were bogus. The number goes to a media specialist at some public school. Subsequent reps have told us that there is no way anyone at Verizon would say that.
5. We have been promised three times that a supervisor would call us within 24 hours... almost a week later, no calls from anyone. 
So if anyone has any leads on how to speak to someone who will make this nightmare go away, please, please, let me know. Thank you.

  • After the new 10.9.2 Maverick upgrade, my Photosmart C4480 3 in 1 printer can not scan and save the file to desktop or documents.  You can only see the image in the print preview area. Does anyone know how to fix this or when a fix will be out?

    After Aple support downloaded the new 10.9.2 Maverick upgrade on my MacBook Air, my Photosmart C4480 3 in 1 printer can not scan a document and load the file on to my desktop or document file. (You can see the doc image in the preview but it doesn't save it.) Does anyone know an Apple fix for this or when the fix will be out?  After hours of trying reloading, and the usual fixes, etc. Apple told me to call HP, and HP told me they don't support Mac.  It does not seem honorable of Apple to put out an upgrade and not tell people it will destroy their scanning ability, and that the only thing to do is to buy another printer/scanner.

    Have you tried using Applications/Image Capture to scan.

  • My iMac is connected to a Brother printer. I have Snow Leopard 10.7.3 As of yesterday, when I try to print a PDF it prints as a blank black page. Does anyone know how to correct this so that the PDF will print as I see it on screen?

    My iMac is connected to a Brother printer. I have Snow Leopard 10.7.3 As of yesterday, when I try to print a PDF it prints as a blank black page. Does anyone know how to correct this so that the PDF will print as I see it on screen?

    If you are running Mac OS X 10.7.3 then you have Lion installed, not Snow Leopard. It's probably not important to this discussion, but something you should be aware of.
    What application are you printing the PDF files from? Have you tried opening the PDF file using the Preview application that can be found in the Applications folder? Does the issue still occur? Have you tried other PDF files from a different source?
    Another poster in the following discussion thread reported that this method resolved their black blank PDF issue when viewing (and presumably printing) PDF files from Safari.

    There's a solution if you want to see the PDF inside Safari's window :
    Go to the folder : Your Hard Drive / Library / Internet Plug-ins.
    If you see a file with PDF in its name drag it to the trash.
    Quit and restart Safari to test with a PDF.
    If it works you can empty the trash.

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • I'm really disappointed with new 5 update.  No music, No photos, No videos, lost all emails.  Anyone know how to get these all back?  Yes, I have synced and synced and synced.  Help

    I'm really disappointed with new 5 update.  No music, No photos, No videos, lost all emails.  Anyone know how to get these all back?  Yes, I have synced and synced and synced.  Help

    Hopefully it isn't too late for this but:  before performing an update it is really best if you close all apps (double click the home button, click and hold on one of the apps that appears at the bottom of the phone until the red minus sign appears and then tap the minus sign until all apps are closed) and then turn the phone off by holding the standby button until the slider saying "slide to power off" appears and slide it to turn the phone off.  Then turn the phone back on and hook it up to your computer to sync and perform the upgrade.  This also helps if you do this before performing syncs too.  I had problems with an iPod previously where it would fail to backup before sync most times, but have never had a problem with updates or syncs since I started performing this procedure.  Unfortunately, your pre-update backup may have failed and the data in your apps might be gone, but you could try to restore your phone.  If I remember correctly how to do this, you connect it to your computer and check for updates.  It should say you're up to date, but have an option to restore the phone.  If it does, I'd try that.  It may also have a "restore from backup" option you could try.

  • Does anyone know how to upload footage from an SDHC to mac not using FCP or imovie?

    Does anyone know how to upload footage from an SDHC card on a mac that doesn't involve using Final Cut Pro or iMovie? Those don't have many options for import/encoding settings. They also upload the clips into an enormous file size. I always have to re-export them in MPEG streamclip or Compressor to lower the file size and it's getting annoying. HELP!

    Won't help the size methinks, but does Image Capture work?

  • Does anyone know how to make Safari send e-mail? Mine won't and hasn't for some time.

    I have been having trouble for some time sending e-mails by Safari - no problems with Mail - Does anyone know how to make Safari send e-mails?

    When we first got our new iMac we were able to send e-mail through Safari - somewhere in the last 2-3 years it stopped and we got the failure to deliver message. We then sent e-mails through Mail - it works well and we have gotten used to doing this. However, every once in a while I retry send e-mails through Safari and we still get the  failure to deliver notice. This has also happened when we try to forward some e-mails we receive (not all; most get forwarded).

  • FF will load but website only appears when scrolling over icon. How do I bring to full screen, clicking will not work and max will not work

    FF shows that it is loaded but the website will not come onto the screen. When I put the mouse on the icon, the website is there, apparently to be opened. I click on it, screen flickers and nothing but still showing on icon. I right click, select maximum, and nothing. I was on 3.6.15, upgraded to 3.6.16 and not to 3.4. They are all doing the same thing. I uninstalled FF and reinstalled. Still nothing.

    OK, I found a way to do this.  Might not be the best way, but it turns out that I can put a addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, gottaMouseUp) in the calling class, add a public variable in the button class that lets me know if the correct button has been clicked, and use that in the calling class to decide which button was clicked.  I knew it was something simple like that....

  • HT203433 Does anyone know how to advise Itunes that a downloaded song did not completely download especially when four other songs had no problem?

    Downloaded Born to be Wild but only 1/2 the song downloaded. I also downloaded 4 other songs with no problem. How can I let Itunes know there is a problem with this song?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Anyone know how to fix this ? mac os x does not recognise internet addresses starting with "isytd"

    I cannot find any useful info on how to solve this problem. Safari cannot download certain YouTube downloads where it has no problem with others.
    In my security tab on Safari settings Plug-ins are enabled. Any suggestions ? Thanks

    Hi
    I had a same problem ( Mountain Lion )
    The solution I found is :
    Download the software "iskysoft free video downloader" : http://www.iskysoft.com/free-mac-video-downloader.html
    Then install it.
    This software integrates himself to Safari ( and other navigators ), and you can download many videos on the web.
    BUT for the vids in "isytd", you need to use a different way :
    Launch Iskysoft Free Video Downloader software.
    copy the URL adress of the video you wanna upload,
    then use the "paste URL" button on the iskysoft software
    The software will analyse the URL, and automatically download the video.
    That's OK for me ;-))
