Changed Plan to Freedom Essentials But Charges Are Much More
Hi everyone. I have been a loyal Verizon customer for 10+ years now, but have recently started to run into problems when changing my plan
After setting up the switch, I was told my Verizon Freedom Essentials Plan would cost me $54.99 (not including taxes but this total cost did include my internet access as it would be bundled together). The sales agent was laughing because it was actually $2 cheaper than what I had been paying for years.
I get my first bill in the mail today. I am a bit nervous because I got it Saturday after their call center in closed. So I have to wait until Monday.
I know taxes are separate (not even including them).
I know that there are partial month charges (also not even including them).
What I am a focusing on is my "Current Charges,” here is what it says:
Verizon Freedom Essentials - $49.99 (not what I was quoted)
Internet 768k to 1Mbps - $29.99 (I WAS paying $21.99).
Bundle Discount - $5.
Even if you take the bundle discount and deduct that from my internet, I am still paying $3 more than I was before.
I am more concerned about the phone calling itself. Why is it $49.99? I haven't changed my phone plans or internet plans in forever and I am just not sure what to do.
I will be calling them Monday morning, but what are the chances of me getting this fixed? I cannot and will not pay $74.99 (plus $25 dollars in taxes). I was told $54.99 for Freedom Essentials PLUS my internet. The $74 amount is something I would expect AFTER taxes had been applied, but not before!
If they will not honor the price I was originally told. I wasn't even quoted either. It was (after being on the phone 45 minutes - "Alright Jennifer, we are all set and you will be up and running and ready to make long distance calls in 24 hours. Your final price for this package is $54.99, not including applicable taxes and surcharges)
Am I allowed to go back to my previous plan/pricing without any fees for changing my plan? Can I quit Verizon all-together and opt for Time Warner cable since they didn't upload their end of the bargain?
Was this on FIOS? You might have been sold something called a "copper" phone line but in reality you were only provided with digital service. Let me know.

I recently had to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows 7) and lost most of the library. I restored with what I had on my hard drive on the PC, but there is much more music on my iPod classic than is in the iTunes current library. I'm worried that if I synch now it will delete the extra music from my iPod, some of which I don't have available to re-rip etc.. Will this happen, or is it safe to synch more content without losing from the iPod what is already there but not in my iTunes library on the PC? Thanks in advance for any help.
Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
To fix Home folder permissions
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed. -
Velocities are same value but some are much louder than others.
I've been using the pencil tool to write lines in the matrix view. As I understand, it will draw the same note value as whatever note was drawn or selected before it.
The parts I'm writing all have a static dynamic and are all red (max velocity value of 127). However, regardless of this information, some of the notes play really loud and jack my track meter into the red. I checked my track automation to make sure that I didn't accidentally draw in any volume changes, but there's nothing.
I have no idea why this is happening, but it is very frustrating.
Any help appreciated.Hi,
As other before me have stated:
What is the instrument being played?
If it IS an instrument that has built-in effects/modulators, you can and will hear large differences in volume.
Also, why on earth are you inputting notes all at max volume? You are setting yourself up for later mixing problems, and also, you are getting rid of any internal dynamics that the instrument itself might have at different volumes.
My 2cents have been spent now,

OS:Windows XP
Also, before updating, I used to go into the browser cache and copy the temporary file for a video (detected by refreshing the cache window) to another folder when the vid was finished playing, then I would add the .flv extension and *snap* I have the video saved. The cool thing about this was that I could skip forward in a video such as a news program to the segment I want, whereas with video downloaders I must save the whole thing. Since updating, the cache folder is full of dozens of folders, which each contain folders, which each contain multiple temp files, so it's MUCH harder to snatch the temp file without using the search feature specifying the date and size. The cool thing about this was that I could skip forward in a video such as a news program to the segment I want, whereas with video downloaders I must save the whole thing. I'd be grateful if anyone has any suggestions regarding this, but my main question is about video quality. For informational videos, the poor resolution and murky sound is a tolerable trade-off for having no delay or buffering, but for concert videos this is intolerable and it would be worth waiting for better quality. Is there any way to adjust the quality if the site itself doesn't offer that option?Sounds like you did this on the fly.
MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
M just sets a marker
Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane >> -
Any help anticipated? Safari just closed twice trying to post this note!
If the problem continues you may want to consider backing up your iPad and restoring it to Factory Settings. This will reload a fresh copy of iOS.

I have prepared a personal budget and sorted the planned expenses by month, but they are out of order. How do I correct?
David,
You've got to give us something to go on here. At least post a screen shot so we can see how your data is arranged. I suspect that you may have named the months with text strings rather than as actual Date values, so when you sort they are in alphabetical order rather than date order.

Why are regional calls not in Five Cents plan, but instead are 21 cents/min.?
Why are "regional calls" not included in Five Cents/minute calling plan, but instead billed at 21 cents/minute !??!
"Local" calls are 9 cents/Call, everywhere else in the U.S. It is 5 cents/minute on the plan. So regional calls are much more expensive than calls to Hawaii!!
Also how do I find what is the "regional" area (for Manhattan, New York City), and what is the "local" area? Is there a link somewhere on the Verizon site to enable finding your own regional area versus local or long distance?Sorry you are having difficulty, an agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information to help you resolve your issue.Please remember to check your spam/junk folder if you do not hear from an agent.

Now go away away, boy ... you bother me! -
How do I change Mac desktop folder/safari pictures to registered business icons? I have tried almost everythin but none are working. First how do I capture the business icon from the website, then what?
OK, well to start with, you must have the icon file in the correct format. You need to end up with an .icns file. One of the how-to articles should tell you how to do this - iConvert will also do it.
If it is in the correct format, when you click the icon file to highlight it, and click cmd-i, you will see the Get Info window - at the top left, you should see a mini version of the icon. If you do NOT see that icon correctly, the file is not the correct format. So this will not work for a jpg or png file, for example.
Once you have this window open, go to the thumbnail, click it to highlight it blue, and click cmd-C to copy.
Go to your Safari app from the Applications folder (not from the dock), again click cmd-i to open its Get Info window, and again click its icon to highlight it blue. Now click cmd-V to paste. You will be asked for your admin password to authenticate. The icon should now become the one you've pasted in.
You may need to log out and back in for the effect to show on the application file itself.
You might also want to look into Candybar if you plan on doing a lot of icon customization.

Cancellation charge for changing plan
Hello all, I was wondering if i would be charged a cancellation from my $19.99 single app plan for Photoshop if i swapped to the $9.99 plan that includes Photoshop as well as lightroom. it looks like i would be getting more for less, so i am worried that there is some catch somewhere.
I switched from the $19.99 CC Special to the 9.99 Photography Plan before my commitment was up. The Customer Service Rep not only cancelled my plan before it expired, but refunded a recent payment of $19.99 when I explained the Photography Plan fit my needs. So I started on it and my CC plans under "My Adobe" reflected the change.
The only odd thing was that I got expiration pop-ups, and simply signed out of and signed in to start the Photography Plan.
So I did not have to pay a cancellation fee maybe because I was only switching plans.
I think I covered most of this. If you have a question I'll try and answer it.

iTunes: I just redeemed a gift card in iTunes and then rented a movie. I want it charged to the gift card but think that it was charged to my credit card. How do I ensure the charges are against the gift card?
I took this straight from the help menu.
You need to set up an Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store before you can redeem anything in the iTunes Store. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of a gift certificate or card.
Hide
Use an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or iTunes Gift Card
If you aren’t already signed in to the iTunes Store, choose Store > Sign In, or click Sign In at the top of the iTunes Store window.
Below Quick Links, click Redeem, and follow the onscreen instructions.
The amount in your account appears to the left of your account name. When you click the Buy button to make purchases, the amount changes to show how much money remains in your account.
You can use a gift certificate only in the iTunes Store for the same country in which the certificate was purchased. -
Trying to change plan but no chat or email customer service available
Since I cannot email this question (there is no email option) and the Chat option never works I am asking these questions here.
I thought I would be able to change my plan simply, since there is a "change your plan" page, but the only option they offer is to add more service for a more expensive plan.
I want to
1.) take one of my phones off of my plan. I currently have 3 phones on a plan but I want to remove one. This option is not available, or I couldn't find it.
2.) I want to swap numbers with two of the phones. The phone/number I want to take off the plan is in better shape than one of the other phones.
So I want to remove the phone but keep using that phone with one of the other numbers.
I don't want to speak to a customer service rep and have them try to sell me anything or upgrade anything or sell me insurance or whatever. I have been trying to access chat all day but there's no agents available. I notice there's other posts on here with the same complaint. and of course there's no email, even though many other customers have complained about that too.i have three phones on my plan.
i want one of them removed.
in fact, i haven't used the phone in three months and when you call it you get a "not in service" message.
but the phone i still listed on my bill and I am still paying the (ludicrous) surcharges and taxes and line fees.
there is absolutely no reason why i shouldn't be able to change my plan online, without talking ot anyone.
there are hundreds of complaints about your lack of email. there are hundreds of complaints about customer service chat and customer service in general. look it up.
this is simple
1) i want one of my phones removed from my plan (3-1=2)
2) i want to know how much it will cost for the two remaining phones.
3)i want to be able to contact a customer service rep through email
4) i want to be able to look at the different plan options online and be able to change them online.
5)really nice of you to offer help but ... on twitter? really??? facebook too? no thanks.
why don't you just have the availability on your website to change plans and offer email customer support? -
I am being asked to upgrade to iCloud Drive but indications are that I will not be able to access up to date details on any of my documents on my Mac without going into iCloud first. Have I got this interpretation right or can I save changes to access the new versions on my iMac?
That is Apple's statement:
Using iWork with iCloud Drive - Apple Support
Options for iWork customers
You can upgrade to iCloud Drive today if you want to keep your documents up to date in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, and you want to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com and the Share via iCloud feature.
You can upgrade to iCloud Drive later if you want to keep your documents up to date with your apps on iOS 7 or earlier and OS X Mavericks or earlier.
Upgrade to iCloud Drive today
To access the most recent versions of your documents from a Mac with OS X Mavericks or earlier, you’ll need to go to iCloud.com and access Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from there. On a PC, you can install iCloud for Windows and set up iCloud Drive.
If you upgrade to iCloud Drive now:
Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8, Macs with OS X Yosemite, PCs with iCloud for Windows, and iCloud.com.
Your documents will no longer keep up to date on devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
You’ll be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
You’ll be able to use the Share via iCloud feature with iOS 8, OS X Yosemite, and iCloud.com.
Documents you previously shared via iCloud will be accessible to collaborators.
Upgrade to iCloud Drive later
Note that until you upgrade your iCloud account to iCloud Drive, you won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com or the Share via iCloud feature. If you don’t upgrade to iCloud Drive at this time:
Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8 and across devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
You won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
You won’t be able to use the Share via iCloud feature.
Documents you previously shared via iCloud won’t be accessible to collaborators until you upgrade to iCloud Drive. -
I spend quite a few months each year in Canada where I use a Telus Cellular Hub device which is also my WiFi Router. My iPhone 5 has Cellular Data set to "Off" which insures I won't be charged via my Verizon Wireless Service Provider for charges while in Canada. Trouble is Telus, Rogers and all the Canadian Internet Providers charge for all Data going through their Systems. Again, My Cellular Data on the iPhone 5 is turned off, but I use WiFi for such things as checking the Weather, or FaceBook, or searching the Web.
I believe that things may be happening in the background from various Apps that use quite a lot of Data. It could be that iCloud is part of the issue with things being backed up automatically. It also could be that Apps like AP or other News Apps are sending large amounts of Data in the photos associated with their New Stories, etc. I typically turn off the App Store "Updates" such that they don't automatically load. The FaceBook works now posted videos play when you are just scrolling through the News Feed.
I have been trying to fine an article somewhere which focuses on this specific problem but unfortunately many if not most articles are about folks worried about using Cellular Data while in a WiFi environment when their Cellular Data is turned on.
Does anyone know of a fairly comprehensive article about what settings on which Apps might reduce the Data Usage when Cellular Data is turned "Off" but you are going through a Service Provider who charges for all Data Accessed even when you are using WiFi?Thanks for your comments, it is clear you understand my plight. The trouble is fully understanding what Apps and App Features are transferring data in the background any time you happen to turn WiFi to on (even if you have had it off most of the day or night). Obviously things like Location Services can constantly be sending and receiving data from my iPhone without any action on my part. Also if you have things like photo backup on the iCloud then each time you take a photo you are sending a copy out. All App Updates if set to Automatic also can add up to quite a bit of Data. Reading the News on AP or scrolling through FB News Feed is actually adding up to a lot of Data. There could be other culprits that I am not even thinking of. I don't want to turn Apps like Find My Phone off or turn iCloud off due to loosing the value of such a program entirely. Again thanks for your quick response.
