Are there phones too old to use on Verizon?

Had a friend that tried to activate a samsung a950. The bought it from someone and call to check and see if the esn was clear. The rep
told her yes. When they called later to actually activate it, she was told that the phone was too old to activate on verizon. Does this sound right?

My understanding is they are exempt as long as they were active. Once shut down they could not be activated again.
That's correct. If it is already activated you are free and clear, but if it isn't activated you can't activate it.
The OP has an 2005 flip phone for Verizon, but the rep can't activate it because it's "too old". I think that's what the rep thinks, but it may be because of the data plan on the smart phone and doesn't know how to remove it(She may be new to her job). I would assume some devices are infact old to activate. I don't expect my Nokia 5160 to be activated at this point, but that phone is like 20 years old lol.

How do I get content from my old iPod Touch to my new iPhone 5? My iPod Touch is too old to use iCloud

How do I get content from my old iPod Touch to my new iPhone 5? My iPod Touch is too old to use iCloud. I have activated the phone but am stick at the point of the set-up where my 3 choices are:
1. Set up as new phone
2. Restore from icloud Backup
3. Restore from iTunes Backup
thanks!

If your iPod touch music is in your iTunes library, you just need to sync the new iPod nano with iTunes, the songs will be transfer to your new iPod. If not, you can follow this guide to transfer the songs from iPod touch to iTunes first, and then re-sync them to your new iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

Are there any libraries can be used to generate Type 1 font postscript file

I am trying to create a Type 1 font postscript file. But I found it is hard to find the library to generate the Type 1 font postscript file. I just found a library named iText which can create the Type 1 font PDF file.
Are there any libraries can be used to generate Type 1 font postscript file?
Thanks!

I don't see much benefit with the current ODI adaptors for planning if it is an EPMA type planning application.
They have been specifically designed to work with classic planning applications.
It certainly is possible to load into EPMA interface tables using ODI though there are no direct adaptors and it takes quite a bit of effect to get them into the correct format.

Are there pros and cons to using TFS as compared to Sharepoint?

are there pros and cons to using TFS as compared to Sharepoint?

TFS and SharePoint are two different products with overlapping functionality.
If you are planning to use TFS for Application Lifecylce management, then I would not suggest SharePoint replacing TFS.

ITunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow.

iTunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow. I am using Windows 7.
I only use it once every few weeks and each time it is more disappointing than the previous time. does it run better on a Mac than Windows? Is this app really the future of media? Really?

I am using iTunes 11.1.3 -- The most recent version. When I select something from my albums it just freezes. I have restarted it a few times with same result.

Re: Why are there numbers not showing up on my verizon online call and texts log?

I am having the same problem with texts not appearing on my online text log and have also noticed a huge increase in data since my two sons have had their iPhone 5s. I have the iPhone 4. Two problems here
iPhone users DO appear. In the posted questions and response below, you indicate that if we are all using iPhones then we are not using the Verizon network but using data. HOW DO I STOP THIS DATA USAGE AND RETURN TO USING THE NETWORK? I can't afford the data charges that I am getting.. HELP!! and Thank you.

If you are all using iPhones, then it's likely the texts are going through iMessages and therefore use data. Since the texts are not using the Verizon network, but the app, they do not show up in the logs. The app is not specifically blocking the texted numbers from showing up, but the information comes through Verizon as data usage, not numbers texted.

    Sparkyjames81,
Lets figure out just where those texts are going! There are many apps that can be downloaded from the Play Store for Android phones that will allow messages to be sent over the internet, and therefore they are not actually text messages and will not show up in our records. Even Facebook has their own messaging app available that does this.
If you have an iPhone, they come with a service called iMessage that allows for messages to other Apple devices be sent via the internet, and this will also not show up on our records. These are all ways to bypass our actual texting services, and since these messages are not being sent as texts they do not show up on our records.

I bought my Iphone 4 from Sprint. I have little or no internet service. When I go into extended network areas, my phone sends old text messages to my friends, repeatedly. Is this a Sprint issue?

I bought my I-Phone 4s from Sprint. The salesman raved about how much faster my internet would be with Sprint, also told me 4g was being added my area, and it would be even faster. Well now 4g is here. All of my friends on AT&T enjoy 4g, while I am only getting 3g, my internet is so slow, I rarely use it!
Last week I visited the Sprint store where I purchased my phone, to find out what the problem was. They told me NONE of the I-Phones were capable of getting 4g?????? Wow, Has anyone else been blatantly lied to by Sprint.
The other issue I am having is: every time I leave my home area, and go into the extended area network, and then return into my home area, my phone starts resending old text messages to my friends, that they had recieved days ago!. Of course the Sprint Personnel argued with me and said those were just messages that never went through the first time. I have screenshots of the duplicate messages from my friends, phones.
My I-Phone was great for the first 2 months. this month my I-Phone has completely quit 3 times, Sprint says a tower is down every time I call in to report it.
Is anyone else having these problems with the I-phone 4s?

You are not alone on issues related to weak signals. It happens to us all regardless of the carrier in the US.
I have an iPhone4, legally unlocked with replaceable SIM that I use here In Australia, the US and Europe. I simply replace the SIM to phone accounts in other countries. Do have issues at home here in Australia from time to time, but many more problems in the US than any other country.
When the signal is weak, ususally 1 bar the phone does not have enough power to stay connected. It will attempt to receive and send, but is trying to process so much that the signal cannot cope.
If any employee from Sprint, ATT or any other carrier attempts to tell you it is you and not their system they are out right lying. Just as they lied when they told you that the iPhone was 4G. Some try to get around the issue by saying 3GLite, but that really does not apply either because of the mobiles frequency range.
In fact the Australian government fined Apple AUD$2.25 million + $330,000 in costs for advertising that the new iPad was 4G and LTE, which it is not. There is currently another legal challenge over the iPhone4S.
If you have anything in writing from Sprint that says 4G then you need to contact your states attorney general. At least file a complaint with both Sprint and the FCC. If they tell you it is 4G then they either are lying or they do not have a clue to the mobile.
When the signal is weak the phone keeps attempting to send anything that you have sent. Sometimes that means multiple sends if the signal keeps dropping to low and it has to try all over again.
One way around the problem is by using an internet or data based app like Viber or WhatsApp. Both are voice, text and data Apps that will use Wi-Fi first then 3G if Wi-Fi is not available. Because they use the data side of your mobiles plan it does not take as much power or size to receive or send. Plus, because they are primarily Wi-Fi then data bases they do not use as much time or text units. You can find them online or through the Apple App Store.
Iv used Viber for years because I can use it overseas or talk, video, text or msg internationally without use of any mobile plan time.
Rember to that in the states you have I think 72 days to return a mobile to the carrier without any charges.
I use ATT in the states and when I am at home here I get almost no signal ... I depend 99% on Viber or WhatsApp to even talk.

Are there any known issues when using PSE 13 after installing Apple's recent 10.10.3 Combo update for Yosemite?

I've had Yosemite for some time and bought/installed PSE 13 afterwards.
In the last few days I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3.
As a PSE 13 novice I've been working my way through "Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 - Classroom in a Book". Working through the exercises I've found my iMac is sometimes taking longer to process the functions I'm using than prior ro the 10.10.3 upgrade. E.g., using the Healing Brush tools, Straighten Tool etc.
I've struggled with Apple's upgrade and had to re-install my machine from a previous Time Machine Backup and so I was wondering:-
Are there any known issues with PSE 13 post 10.10.3 upgrade?
Are there things I should be concerned about in the future before accepting an OS X upgrade?
Thanks,
Andy

No, no known issues. However it's a good idea to always delete preferences after OS X system updates.

Are there performancebenefits to reorganizing database-using export/import?

I have a production database using Oracle 9.2.0.5, which has been running for last 3 years since it was upgraded from 8.1.7. At that time we had done full export of 8.1.7 database and then created 9.2. instance and then imported all the application schemas.
Load on our database has been increasing and there are constant pressures from management to improve performance. We have looked at indexes many times, have lots of memory for SGA and have tuned various init.ora parameters. Being a third party packages, we cannot rewrite queries.
Application is a mix of OLTP and reporting, it is definitely more read than write.
Are there any benefits to reorganize database using export/import, i.e., we will do a full export of existing database and then delete all objects from application schemas and do schema imports. We will run the dbms_Stats again to recomputed statistics. Of course, we will test all of that in a test environment before making change sin production.
I have heard different views on reorganization. Some people say it is useless, some people say it can improve performance since data will be placed homely in fewer blocks.
Appreciate your feedback.

Hi,
Oracle gave us reorg utilities (dbms_redefinition) because Oracle does not do real-time reorganization for performamnce reasons.
In some applications, reorgs are critical to high-performance, while in others, it may make no difference.
Remember, a reorg simply puts the indexes and tables into their "optimal" pristine state.
The most striking benefit of table reorgs is when a "sparse" table experiences lots of full scans. After the reorg, response time can be cut in half.
Also, in cases where related rows are queried together, a reorg with row-resequencing (like 10g sorted hash clusters) make a bif difference:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_table_row_resequencing.htm
But like I said, it depends on many factors . . .
Hope this helps . . .

Are there longer music clips to use in iMovie you can find online? How to loop current audio?

I have a video that almost 50 seconds long and I can't figure out how to make the clip I am currently using to loop without coming to a full stop in the middle of the video and then start over again about about 5 or 6 sec of silence. Are there websites I can find music clips to use in iMovie that are longer than the ones that come with the application on my iMac? Or how can I make the audio that I am already using loop continously until the end of the video?
Thanks!

If no one answers soon you could try over in the iMovie forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie.

Why are there numbers not showing up on my verizon online call and texts log?

<< Discussion moved from All Things Community to Apple for better exposure >>
Why are there numbers not showing up on my call and texts log when i look this up online at verizon? There is one number that my daughter texts and calls a lot i found from her phone log but not one time does it show when i look this up on the Verizon wireless call log??? We all have iphones is there an application or something that can block certain calls from showing up? It clearly has texts on her phone from this number why would it not be on the call log?

Thank you for your reply.
However, wouldn't an iMessage show up different than a text? It looks just like every other text on her phone. We all have iphones in this house and they always show up as texts on the call log but this one number seems to be blocked somehow from showing up on the text log. And there are texts from weeks ago and it's from an actual number not computer or any weird/odd code and yet it never comes across on the text log when i look it up.
If you are correct and it's coming across as iMessage is there a way for me to block texts coming across this way so they all show up on the text log?

Are there apps that you can use in Europe with out phone connection

Going to France, and other parts of Europe, and would like to use the GPS on the phone without using phone service. Is there an app that you can preload the maps, and just use the GPS on the phone to find location?

There are 100s of apps in the App Store that will load local maps onto your device. Some are free, some aren't.

How do I get my iTunes (both purchased and cd's) into the cloud as I cannot use match my iMac and MacBook are too old to use the right OS and maxed out RAM memory upgrades, but have iPhone 4S and now 64gb iPad and libraries on desktops plus iPod!!

So very excited bought iPad and new speakers today! Want to get all my music sorted as across iMac (G5), MacBook os 10.6 (maxed out ram and memory) and old iPod. Saw Match would be an option but can't use due to old OS so I can get the raw music library files but then what do I do to get all in one place? Any help appreciated.

A good route would be to attach a USB drive to the macbook. You can use the drive to assemble a copy of all of your music from your various devices. iTunes on the macbook can be used to create a new library, located on the USB drive, into which you can import all of your music.
Two major benefits:
1. From here you can run iTunes Match across your entire music collection; and
2. You will have created a full local backup of all of your music on the USB drive.
Once complete you will be able to access the music from any iDevice capable of running iTunes Match, Do remember as you add music it is important to maintain a local backup in order to keep your music safe.
