Payment Plan for Upgrade Phones

I think Verizon should have a payment plan for new upgrade phones. I have been a long time Verizon customer and in years past when my plan would come up for a replacement phone I always choose one of the top phones and upgraded for about $50. In today's time, due to Technology, to upgrade to say an I Phone runs around $300 by the time you get tax (CA), new charger- home and car as well as a hands free device. To pay that Big amount the next month on my bill is the reason I am holding back getting one and I want the best because new phones are always coming out and we will have a better ones and the focus is everything going mobile. If I could split that total into 2 payments, it would be a lot easier for me and I would be at the store tomorrow buying one. I think Verizon should do this because they would increase their phones sales immediately. No Other Phone Company is doing this and they could pick up new customers from companies that do not offer this. First to the Marketplace to do this has BIG Value.
In this Economy, Verizon could create a way to increase their sales and a sense of Goodwill to help the consumer at the same time...Novel Idea!!!!!!

Pay for the phones and service up front or use a credit card (as SydneyK suggested) ...Verizon isn't going to finance the phone purchase. They are in the business of providing wireless service, not financing equipment purchases.
I can imagine prices would go up if they ever WERE to do this, since I'm sure there would be defaults that the rest of us would cover with increased rates. No, thanks...

Hi,
it will helps hopeful,
Upgradation steps:
1) Convert Data Classes of InfoCubes. Set up a new data class as described in SAP OSS Note 46272.
2) Pay attention to the naming convention. Execute the RSDG_DATCLS_ASSIGN report.
3) Run the report RSUPGRCHECK to activate objects.
4) Upgrading ABAP and JAVA in parallel may cause issues. If there is no custom development on J2EE instance, it is recommended to drop the J2EE instance and re-install the latest J2EE instance after the upgrade.
5) Apply SAP OSS Note 917999 if you include the Support Patch 6 with the upgrade or you will get the error at PARCONV_UPG phase. When you upgrade to a product containing Basis 700, the phase PARCONV_UPG terminates. You included Basis Support Packages up to package level 6 (SAPKB70006) in the upgrade. The job RDDGENBB_n terminates with the error RAISE_EXCEPTION. In addition to this, the syslog contains the short dump TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED. The program SDB2FORA terminates in the statement "LOOP AT stmt_tab". An endless loop occurs when the system creates the database table QCM8TATOPGA.
6) Apply the OSS note 917999 if you get the following error during PARCONV_UPG phase: PARCONV_UPG terminates with TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOG_FAILED

Project plan for Upgrade

Does anyone have a project plan or shell for an upgrade to Oracle 11 they want to share.
Edited by: TILLY on Oct 12, 2009 2:17 PM

Hi,
Could you please include in the plan an upgrade to EPMA with HFM.
The result of my researches are the following:
- Install version 11
- Migrate the SQL Schema from 9.2 to 11
- Run the HFM upgrade script
I'm wondering if the migration will work 9.2 to 11 with an application creating with EPMA.
Thank you!

Here is my plan for upgrading to Lion

I assumed that there was going to end up being a huge thread about problems with upgrading to Lion. And I have too much at stake (Adobe, Microsoft products, etc) to be helping beta test such a major upgrade.
And I am really amazed out how many people are desperate to go back a version...back to Snow Leopard in order to restore their working applications. So if it was so critical that Lion work the first time with your installed apps, why did you have such terrible backup plans in place?
So here is my foolproof (hopefully) solution to protecting against an upgrade meltdown.
It's VERY simple.
Purchase another hard drive for your Macbook Pro (Sorry, won't work with Air,...I know.)
Clone it and then install it into your Mac, or restore from your Time Machine. (Or just verify that it boots and works ok)
Go to the online Mac store and purchase and install your Lion upgrade. If it works for you....fine. If not re-install the other drive and wait a few months for the bug updates to arrive.... and then try again.
Before you complain about purchasing another hard drive. Don't be so cheap. If you can afford a Mac, you can afford $60 for a new hard drive. Isn't your sanity worth it? Then buy an enclosure and and use it as a backup drive.
Is this concept so tough?

You don't even have to buy an internal drive, an external works just as well and then there's no fuss about installing it.
You can use SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner and make the external bootable to test it.
Well, that's what I did before upgrading

Project plan for upgrading CRM7.0 to EHP3

Dear Expert,
Currently we are preparing to help customer upgrade their CRM7.0 to EHP3,
and I am thinking the necessary steps for this upgrade project.
What in my mind currently are:
Basis team upgrade the system
ABAPer help to check the impact caused by upgrade and adopt code if
necessary
Function consultant to test all the as-is business scenarios to make sure
everything works fine
Is there anything else we need to do?
Thanks a lot for your suggestions in advance!
Regards
Hedy

You should first check PAM whether the OS and DB are supported for the target release. The upgrade guide speaks about the preparation tasks and also about the follow activities for the Middleware. They basically come under the BASIS scope (Technical Upgrade). The best would be build a sandbox by copying the existing production and upgrade the sandbox system first and if it is convincing for the business then upgrade the whole landscape.

"iFOULED" didn't "SYNC" my CONTACTS, they "SUNK" them deep! Does "iFOULED" have a back-up plan for this? Everybody seems to have an answer to RECOVERING CONTACTS...but nobody seems to be recovering...HELP? ty

ASSUMING THAT SOMEBODY HASN'T BACKED UP THEIR CONTACTS ALREADY SOMEPLACE ELSE, CAN CONTACTS BE RECOVERED AFTER BEING LOST AFTER THE 1ST TIME???
They also turned the few CONTACTS they left behind into GROUP CLASS? I only have GROUPS to choose from in my contacts. ALL CONTACTS is empty, on my PC & in the 3GS.

Bad taste!

Planning for Mobile Service Pack Upgrade from 2007 SP2 to SP6

Hello Mobile Gurus,
We are planning for upgrading mobile from 2007 SP2 to SP6. Can anyone of you guess a time line for achieving this?
I mean, how long will it take in dev env to upgrade commstation, mrs, mdw etc. apart from upgrading the field laptops?
thanks

Hello Mahesh
had missed 5th point. ie Rollout to the client laptops . the amount of time it takes will be based on the kind of customization and kind of issues that you face in your application . etc.
Repostiroy upgrade from n to n+1 release will take approx 1-2 hours (with out additinal language) and it is correct.
I have given you the rough estimates so that you will get a fair idea how much time it is going to take.
Best Regards
Shankar

Recommendation for upgrading to R2

Trying to map out a plan for upgrading Service Manager 2012 SP1 RU2 to R2. All clients, whether installed locally on the workstation or via Citrix use the SP1 console. I believe all the clients are RTM SP1 so no rollups installed.
Servers are SP1 RU2 installed. We only have 4 servers. The Orchestrator which has already been upgraded to R2 because we don't use it now. The Data Warehouse, the Service Manager server itself and a self service portal on SharePoint.
Trying to figure out whether to upgrade the clients for and then servers or servers first and then circle back and upgrade clients. I tested the SP1 console again an R2 test sever and it seems to work just fine as does an R2 console against a Prod SP1 server.
Really confusing.
MS can't expect you to upgrade all your clients at once so there has to be compatibility between the product versions. Any suggestions on how to approach it?

Does my iPhoto back-up plan sound reasonable?

Thanks to great info in some threads I've read here, I'm well on my way to finally organising my zillions of photos/videos, using iPhoto Library Manager. (I started merging everything into an empty external HD, and eight hours down the road, it looks to be about another five hours or so.)
I've tried to come up with the optimum back-up plan for myself, but I could really use some experienced advice on whether this is really the right thing for me or not.
The plan:
My iMac internal HD is getting cramped, so I will empty all photos off it and keep ALL photos on a single (for now) EHD, instead. Back-up will be in DVDs (another one burned every time I get another DVD-worth of photos on the EHD) as well as a temporary back-up on the iMac internal HD of the new photos that have not yet made it to a DVD.
Is this a reasonable plan?
If I were to, say, want to make a book, I would create a new (smaller) library for the book, so I could back it up on the iMac internal HD. And I would then burn that library with its book onto a back-up DVD, before removing the book and its library from the iMac.

Most of my pictures are in PSD (photoshop format) - as most were scanned in from old prints and had to be restored).
I keep them in folders for each event - used naming conventions of date of event and picture order. Imported them into IPHOTO for Faces function and ease in printing.
As I imported the picture to IPHOTO - it gives me 2 copies on my hard drive and I have a time machine backup & a second backup of my User library that I do weekly (two copies on that drive) and have burned DVD's and also printed some restored pictures.
Keep in mind there that JPEG reduces the clarity of pixels every time you save a picture. JPEG2 does not reduce the clarity when compressing a picture.

Mac Pro's (early 2008) Back up plan towards a possible OS upgrade to Yosemite

Hello All. Here’re some of the details/background info…hopefully all this won’t be so annoying. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
I have 2 Mac Pro’s (Early 2008) 3,1 both running SL (10.6.8). One I have been using non-stop throughout these years, I’d call it MP 2008 (A). The other one once belong to a friend who actually bought it around the same time I purchased mine, only that he didn’t use it much and just recently decided to sell it to me. I’d call it MP 2008 (B). Both MP’s are very light on data on the main, boot HD, just applications,… as everything I work on is kept in external hard drives and backups. I do not usually download any third party stuff (only when strictly necessary for my work) and essentially it’s all about the software and applications (Adobe CS3 and LR 0.2) I need to do my pretty basic work.
All pretty old stuff by now, I know.
Following a couple of mishaps and lots of good advice in these forums, (thanks to the hatter, etc.) I went ahead and bought 16GB of RAM for both, and an NVidia Graphics Card (all from Amazon.com) for my MP 2008 (A) to replace it after it went bad, and everything has been working just fine. As you can tell, I have not tried to upgrade much, but rather keep everything stock and running as smoothly as possible.
I am afraid the next big, important thing I MUST do is back up my almost 6 years-old HD (I know, it should’ve been done long ago). Frankly, I have never done it before because I didn’t even know that could be possible…I learned about it right here, in this forum. In this sense, much I have also read (here) about the SSD option, and about how great of an upgrade that could be too, but I have decided to stick to the regular 3.5” for now. (I just recently found out those SSD even existed!). Hopefully, once I gain a bit of confidence on how this works I’ll jump into the SSD option, cards, etc. So, I purchased 2X 3.5” SATA III HD’s to try cloning my MP 2008 (A) boot, main HD and get this process over with.
QUESTIONS
QUESTION #1: After installing the internal hard drives in bays 2 and 3: Do I have to specifically format them in order to turn them into bootable copies? If so, how do I do that? I have read about using ‘Disk Utility’ to format external hard drives for this purpose but I don’t know if that would apply for internal hard drives as well.
QUESTION #2: What are the settings/features you all recommend I should select/or deselect on CCC so I can have exact, bootable copies of my original HD? No fancy stuff, advanced options, etc…just what I need to have good enough copies that just work.
QUESTION #3: How do I test them?
I noticed that under “System Preferences/System/Startup Disk” I can select the drive/system I want to use to start up my computer from. My question is:
QUESTION #4: Can I permanently choose any of the Mac Pro four (4) bays/bootable hard drives as the main drive/system for startup? I always thought I could only be done from the original, ‘main’ bootable drive in bay 1.
QUESTION #5: What if the copy fails? How do I go back to the HD that works or to the next copy, for that matter?
About my MP 2008 (B): In an effort to sell me his MP, my friend (as knowledgeable as I am) messed up something that delays the start up a lot. I noticed that in the finder, the applications appear double, etc., so I am not so happy with it. Even though the little house icon has his name in the finder, he was able to make me the Administrator for the machine (I don’t know how). But again, it starts up to the typical chime, then a gray screen for quite a loooong while, then the apple logo, then the loading animation…and theeennnn it starts…and no known issues from there. In other words, I am sure he messed something up there while transferring this machine to me and now its startup is so delayed.
QUESTION #6: Let’s say that both the bootable HD copies I created on my MP 2008 (A) work fine: Can I take one out and install it in my MP 2008 (B) and eventually turn it into my startup drive and work from there too? Will this eventually lead to conflicting stuff? (Two machines, same identical cloned start up drive??).
Eventually, the plan is that I learn how to do all this so I can move on and upgrade with a clean install of Yosemite pretty soon.
Hopefully, both my Mac Pro’s 2008 A and B will last me a bit more and I can get to squeeze a few more seasons from them. They are awesome machines!
As you can tell, in theory I might have a little bit of a clue, but all is in the details. If you don’t mind, please shed some light on this process I am about to begin…thanks a bunch!

Thank you!

Re: Mac Pro's (early 2008) Back up plan towards a possible OS upgrade to Yosemite in response to Juan Huerta
All new drives need to be partitioned GUID and formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled before they can be used.
OK, is that an option I'll be prompted to by the OS or do I have to "tell" that to...Disk Utilities (?)
If cloning is your purpose then use Disk Utility's Restore option. It will clone the drives and their Recovery HD partitions automatically.
I didn't know that Disk Utility had an option for cloning a bootable drive...is it better than CCC? (I have used neither one) I really would like to save $40 and avoid downloading additional software/applications...please if you don't mind...what option would that be once I click on "Disk Utility"? If you know of a good link or reliable article on the topic that will work for me too.
Test a clone be trying to boot the computer from it.
Any bootable drive in any bay can be used to boot the computer. Use Startup Drive preferences to set the desired boot volume.
Erase the target and try again.
But if the computer fails to start because I didn't create a good copy, how do I go back? Keyboard shortcuts? I keep reading that a wired keyboard must be used...and that's scary. If that's true, could I hook up any of my Windows based keyboards via USB?
Erase the drive and install OS X. You cannot use any software installed by the prior owner that was purchased via the App Store including OS X. You must start from scratch. (this actually is 5B rather than item 6.)
Well, he created an Admin account for me and I have been handling updates and everything with the new password he created for me. I wonder if I could access the Apple Store with my ID though...it's all under my name in that computer though, so I figure that at the Apple Store I'd just enter my ID...I guess, I have not tried that yet
Yes.

Have been trying to upgrade my plan for a week now, had it handled but they are now reneging on the agreement they made. Basically happy to see my family leave over a one time $30 charge.

I Went to the store to upgrade phones and get a new plan. They didn't have any of the three phones I was gettin, Tried to sell me a plan for 8 gigabyte, even though we don't even use 1 now. Left mad, manager watched and did nothing. Tried to call, I got mad when the customer service agent chuckled at me. I was pretty well done then. Wife tried, had it all worked, we were getting the arrangements as we wanted them. I even listened since it was on speaker phone, she was still talking as she left the house, the Verizon phone dropped the call, she called back and now they won't us the same deal they already agreed to. I told her I would try one last time. I explai this was my last call, at the end I found that my plan is paid through the 21st. What is really bad is that they don't even care enough to have a supervisor call. They won't even let me speak to one. I was willing to stay with them because in the past I had never had a problem with them, now I can see how they could be any worse.

Kccustomer wrote:
mrhelper, you sure are knowledgeable about Verizon, the $30 fee is the cost to upgrade one of my phone. I feel that this is unreasonable since I do not have a contract and a new customer does not have to pay that.
The only time you pay the upgrade fee is if you take a subsidized discount on a phone and that does in fact require a contract. new customers have to pay a $35 activation fee.
As far as me being knowledgeable this fee has been in place for 2 1/2 and was announced on every major news source and is CLEARLY labeled on each phone in the stores and online. In fact my local store has a huge sign right at the counter stating that all upgrades are assessed a $30 upgrade fee. So know it doesn't take a lot of knowledge to know this fee exists.

Upgrading to iPhone and adding old phone back onto plan later... is it possible?

I am on the verge of upgrading my non-smart-LG Octane to an iPhone. Currently my husband has a very very cheap Tracfone, which is fine for him as he rarely uses it- we don't have a land line so it's basically an emergency phone. However, Tracfone is not that great and his cheap phone is falling apart. My current Verizon plan is just for one phone, with no data plan. If I upgrade to an iPhone now, can I hang onto my Octane and add it back to my current plan as his phone later on if he decides he would rather do that than keep the Tracfone? Last time I upgraded I was able to let him have my old phone and use it as the second phone on the Verizon plan, but I want to be sure I can do it later on instead of having to decide when I get the iPhone. I'm trying to keep my costs down as much as possible, and he won't be needing a data plan (I don't have one currently) so I want to wait until know for certain what the iPhone will cost monthly before deciding if it's a good idea to add another Verizon line and give up the very cheap Tracfone line. Thanks for any help you can give!

Yes, you can upgrade now, add the data plan for the iPhone ($30 for 2 GB data), and then later add a second line using the Octane. At that point you MAY have to switch to the Share Everything, since you are on an individual (I'm assuming) Nationwide plan with limited minutes; the option to add a line and make it shared plan may convert it to SHare Everything (unlimited minutes and texting, shared data).
In either case, you don't need to decide when you upgrade to the iPhone. The options will be similar now or later.
