DO NOT BUY UNLESS...

I purchased a copy of the ARD software for around $300 (already ridiculous!)@ the biltmore apple store in az after asking one of the kids that worked there if by installing it on my PowerBook G4 laptop (connecting via airport express trough cable modem with Cox communications as my ISP) at home in Phoenix AZ i would be able control and observe the brand new iBook G4 (connecting with identical settings but different ISP) i got for my son who lives in Wilmington NC. The answer was: "Yes, go right ahead it will work for sure!"
After asking again: "Are you sure?" I was told that someone could also help me set it all up at the genious bar, unfortunatley i had no time as i was leaving for Wilmington to deliver my son' s new laptop!!
End of the story after wasting several minutes on my cell phone with 1-800- apl-care and ENTERPRISE we came to the conclusion that all i was expecting was possible but, Remote desktop uses network protocol ports wich need to be opened by all the crossing networks from AZ to NC !!!! (technically possible but basically impossible !!!)
So for whomever wants to buy this product to operatein similar conditions DONT DO IT !!!

What Apple needs to release is a lite version of ARD just for home users wanting to remote connect. Home users don't need all the bells and whistles, just the basics. A lite version should be supplied for free.
VNC on the other hand is too hard for 95% for even most Mac users to setup.
There are very few things, I could count all of them on one hand and have fingers left over, that MS has over Apple but RDC included as a standard feature is one of them.
Microsoft's TS has far fewer capabilities than does
Apple Remote Desktop. All Terminal Services (aka
Microsoft Remote Desktop Services) allows you do to
is take control of your system from another one.
Apple Remote Desktop allows observation and control,
but also allows you to share screens, create reports,
install software, copy files, and chat between the
workstation and the administrator, and it can do it
for multiple workstations simultaneously, not just to
one at a time as with TS. Plus there are some other
functions. For more information on what ARD does and
why it's vastly more capable than Microsoft's TS (not
that TS isn't useful, just limited) and hence why
Apple charges for ARD, look here.
If all you need is observation and control
capabilities, look into the freeware <a

X201 Woes - Do not buy one

I offer this as my story as an X201 owner and the 'support' i have been given by Lenovo. It is a sad but causionary tale and I would suggest that anyone planning to buy a Lenovo laptop takes note.
I initially sent this email on the 8th March and have thus far received no response to it:
I was given this email address to make a complaint regarding the ongoing issue I currently have with my new Lenovo Thinkpad X201 that I purchased from your website just before Christmas. Whilst your support staff have been generally courteous and polite (this is certainly not a complaint against them), getting some resolution to my problem has proved difficult, expensive and time consuming. My problem’s start with an intermittent fault with my wireless that seems to cut out for no reason and will not restart unless I reboot the computer. I initially contacted your colleagues on the 28th Feb regarding this issue after logging my issue online and being given an issue number 01DM8W5 . They remoted onto my laptop and whilst keeping me on the phone for 40mins looked at the various settings without changing much except 1 power saving setting within power manager. I was asked to get in contact should this solve not solve the issue and I was reasonably satisfied that they had attempted to fix the issue, I asked if this was a known issue and I was told it was not. As I work in IT I checked the relevant forums on Lenovo and found that a number of people have mentioned this issue. I include a number here for you to see

I have also included a couple of other articles that describe the same issue on other laptops (wireless card issue?)
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T510-Advanced-N-6200-wireless-turns-off-its...
As the issue occurred again, I contacted your team on the 1st March and explained that the fix had not done the job. Your colleague immediately stated that I should return the laptop complete for repair and probable reinstall and as I only have a carry in warranty I would have to bring it into one of your service centres. I explained that this would not be a problem (although I was not impressed at the idea given the expense of the laptop in the first place) and given that I live on the edge of London I assumed that IBM/Lenovo would have a service centre in the capital. I was still in discussion with your colleague when I realised that I was required to take this to Colchester which is 58 miles (approx 95km away). I explained that this was not acceptable and the offer of a courier was made (something again not easy given that it requires you to be in between 9-5 with no specific time given for collection and losing my laptop for at least a week, I do have to work). I explained to your colleague that I hadn’t tried suggested fixes from your forum (uninstalled access connections, Intel drivers and tried reinstalling) and before wasting my/your time/money it may be advisable to try these first.
Sadly these also did not manage to fix the issues either so I contacted you again on the 7th March to organise a courier collection, another member of your team stated that issue number 01DM8W5 had been closed and I would have to open another (issue number A1LXVYL). Although annoying, I explained what had been happening and your colleague asked to remote onto my computer. I agreed and explained that on occasions when I have issues Fn+F5 may not work (it wasn’t). I also explained the fixes I had tried and that even though she denied this was a known issue the Lenovo forum suggested otherwise. She then proceeded to reinstall access connections and the Intel drivers, restarted the pc and after another 30 mins on the phone (at my expense) said it was now working so the issue must be fixed and she would not get the pc collected. I explained that the definition of an intermittent fault is that it doesn’t always happen and all she had done is reinstall what I had already reinstalled. She then opened a cmd screen and started a ping going and stated I was required to provide a print screen when it next happens. I explained that the ping would not stop as the computer was currently on a wired connected to ensure that the remote connection was not dropped (something that had been requested on previous calls and something I had explained to your colleague), at this point she seemed to be trying to get rid of me. As she would still not accept there was an issue I suggested that it would probably be best that I call back when the issue next occurs on a wired connection so she could see what has happen. She said this was the best plan and that was how we left it.
The issue has reoccurred today (8th March), and I have spoken to another one of your representatives. I explained what had been said previously and that they were welcome to log onto my pc to check the issue. I was now told this was not required and I would be sent an email with the details on how to post the laptop back to the service centre. I explained that a courier had been previously offered and then after checking this I was offered this again (9-5, no time slot). Luckily, my fiancé is off work tomorrow and is able to wait in for the collection, I hope it turns up. I checked with your colleague and I explained that I have copied a number of files etc to my new pc and would I need to back it all up. I was told that I could remove the hard drive and battery and just send back the shell for testing and I will be without it for at least 6 working days.
As you can see, I have not had a great experience with your support team wasting both my time/money to try and sort this out. As from tomorrow I am going to be without the laptop that I have spent the best part of £1000 on for a minimum of a week and my fiancé is going to have to wait in, possibly for the whole day, to have it collected. It also seems that your support representative seemed unwilling to accept that this is a known issue and didn’t seem to follow the same procedures for dealing with it. Due to these issues and the time/expense I have had to go to thus far to get my laptop repaired I would think that it would only be fair that my warranty to be reset from the date the laptop is finally returned to me for a whole year and if I encounter any further issues with the wireless I should have the option of returning the laptop in full and receive a full complete refund. I have been tried to be as reasonable as possible with your company and with your staff and I hope you that will be with me. I hope you understand my frustration and can return my laptop in fully working order shortly. If you could acknowledge receipt of this email it would be appreciated.
After receiving no response i contacted support again today (30th March) as the problem is still not solved and here is the update i sent in.
The laptop was collected on Wednesday 9th March in the box the laptop was delivered in. It spent a week in the repair centre and I was contacted by support to say that the centre now required my hard drive as they could not replicate the problem. I explained that this was unacceptable as I had personal data locked on the drive and had not removed it as I had been told to keep the hard drive. I suggested they were just going to do a complete system restore which the engineer checked and agreed with, they said they would send the laptop back to me so I could do this. I also asked if my complaint email had been received as I had received no response and I was promised that this was being escalated to management. I asked what would happen if the laptop still did not work, the support engineer would not give me an answer stating that management would have to decide this. I also asked for a timeframe regarding a response to my email and again this was not forthcoming.
When I finally collected the laptop from my local DHL centre which is only open/can deliver Mon-Fri 9-5 (do they think people don’t have to work) I copied all the data off of the laptop and did a full system recovery. Sadly this still has not solved the issue so today (30th March) I have again contacted the support line and explained that it still is still not working and I have still not received a response to my email. After a long wait whilst the engineer looked for my email I was assured that it had been escalated to ‘The Management’ and they were looking into it. I requested to speak to ‘the management’ as after all this time I was running low on patience but was told they were unavailable to talk to (even though the engineer had apparently just spoken to them) and I would get an email at some point (no timescale given again). I thanked the engineer for his help and finally received this complaints reference from him shortly afterwards.
I am writing this with a network cable plugged in as the wireless has indeed cut out again. I have done some research myself in the event viewer (something none of the support engineers investigated) and have found these entries that seem to occur every time it happens
The description for Event ID 5005 from source NETwNs64 cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
\Device\NDMP7
Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6200 AGN
The specified resource type cannot be found in the image file
I also get the same error with event id 5007 and 5032.
So now if you could please organise collection of the laptop as soon as possible so I can purchase a reliable ‘business’ laptop it would be appreciated.
Regards
I have sadly given up and now all i want is my money back.

Thanks for your replies. The problem is not with the aerials or the connection. I'm pretty sure it's the card and I told them as much when i spoke to them. It does still appear in device manager, sometimes stating that the device can not start, not always though. When the issue occurs there are events in the event manager that suggest that the wireless card is playing up, something that none of the so called technical support even checked. The bluetooth remains working so and there isn't any real play in the swtich, so I would suggest that isn't the issue. I've read about almost exacly the same issue and they sent him a replacement wireless card, something i'd be quite happy to do but again something they refused to do.
As an update, i've finally got a response from their complaints department after being told to write to a different email address (sadly forwarding is something they don't know how to do) and I have been told that they will not give me a refund until the problem has occured 3 times. I did argue that it has happened many more times than that and given the 2 times they have remoted onto my pc and i time i sent it back this constitutes 3 times but I will give them one more chance to fix it. They once again wanted me to pay to send it in but agreed to a courier after a bit of coaxing. Luckily the fiancee has got a day off to wait in for the collection as it could be anytime from 9-5. Fingers crossed this will be the end of it, sadly the bitter taste it has left won't leave for a while.

Camera not recognized unless daisy-chained with external HD

I just bought a LaCie 250GB external FW drive to use as a scatch disk for FCE. Now my camera (Sony DCR-HC30) is not recognized unless I plug it into the LaCie. I borrowed a second camera (Panasonic), swapped the FW cable while the camera and HD were plugged into separate FW ports, and the Panasonic was immediately connected in both iMovie (v4) and FCE. I've tried the suggested fixes (unplug, Garageband, swap ports, new cable...) and the problem remains. I upgraded memory, QT and applied several patches prior to attaching the HD. Any suggestions? Can I live with the daisy chain arrangement or will that cause problems importing to the external HD? (I've not tried to import any video yet). Thanks

Yes and No, respectively.
(That's what I always did before getting an internal 200GB hard drive in my iMac.)

Announcing my divorce from Nokia or "DO NOT BUY TH...

After owning the debacle that is the NoKia N97 for several months, I felt a longing to return to simpler, easier to use and more reliable but feature rich handsets that Nokia used to be very well known for, and were actually pretty good at making. Remember that word 'reliable' for now, as I'll come back to it. But basically, every time I had to pull out the heavy, bulky, temperamental N97 from my pocket, and wait for its glitchy, lazy software to figure out what I was trying to do at that moment in time, I became more and more resentful of it and realized that sometimes, "smart phones" are anything but. I longed for the simplicity and beauty of Nokia's 6230,or 6230i, or 6233 days, just as a few examples, when phones did everything you could want them for and didn't require several Phds to operate. In my search, I came to rest upon the Nokia 6700 classic.
I'll confess - I was hooked almost from the fist look. It's stainless steel body; it's cool, classy candbybar form with rounded edges and its simple, yet striking front plate communicated a seriousness and promised a robust, straightforward experience. A quick glance through the feature list and I was hooked. I had to have it. I had dreams of abandoning my N97 to my underwear drawer, possibly only to be liberated in times of desperate need when a back-up handset might be helpful for a trip, but determined not to sell it to anyone, as I knew in my heart, I could not wish the evil of an N97 on my own worst enemy. In one amazing spec sheet, Nokia had promised redemption with the 6700 classic, and I was eager to give it to them.
To be fair, I was warned. Even though I had committed to buying, I raked the internet for reviews. "Temperamental" they warned. "Unreliable" they screamed! "Daft" they exclaimed. I read them all but was unmoved - mine would be the exception, rather than the rule. Mine would defy the expectations, and work well without glitch or incident, for after all, this was Nokia, and Nokia could not let me down so utterly, so completely, so unremorsefully, so quickly in succession, with two different products... not me; a fervant, loyal, reliable supporter and purchaser of their products for the last 10 years, without interruption... This would not happen. I willed it.
I've owned the phone for less two months, and here's the facts: before it just stopped working, the phone would get impossibly hot during phone calls using the headset. It would routinely drop calls for no discernable reason, headset on or not, and when it was offended by my reaction to it doing so, would actually turn itself OFF during phone calls to drive the point home. The phone doesn't have a 3.5mm jack (which I knew when I bought it) so is not terribly good for listening to music or plugging into a car radio, and for reasons which shall always escape me but which shall likely fascinate me to the point of distraction till the day I die, Nokia made it so that the radio could not be played over the loudspeaker!!!!
So, you can't play the radio over the loudspeaker.... and it doesn't work very well, for MAKING PHONE CALLS!!!!
Then, about a month ago, it just turned off, and hasn't come back on since. Despite everything I've tried. And tried. And tried. And keep trying... sigh.
So I've had no choice... Back to the underwear drawer.... and the N97...
Oh, Nokia, my once beloved Nokia, whyfore art thou a hopeless gaggle of idiot-savants and social maladajusts? Where hast your dependability gone? Why hast your basic five-year-old-knows-better-by-now-common-good-sense abandoned thee? Oh my beloved, would that I could flog thee to within an inch of thy corporate life until the madness that has seized thee is over, and thy commitment to me, thy customer, was once more paramount in thy "threatened-giant-addled-brain"....
But alas.... not. So I'm quitting Nokia, after 10 years as a loyal customer. I've owner about 15 or more Nokias since I began, and I've just had so many bad experiences of quality issues in the last two years that I just no longer have faith in the company, or its products. It's painful, because I like the company, what it used to stand for and have always found its products to be the most attractive made by anyone, but I just can't keep spending huge amounts of money on phones that don't actually work. Siiiiighh... I don't know what I'll move on to next, I just know it won't be a Nokia product, and frankly, I don't really care. There's not much joy in it for me anyway. Not now.
Oh... and whatever you do, wherever you are: DO.NOT.BUY.THE.NOKIA.6700.CLASSIC. Under ANY circumstances. On pain of death. Just DON'T.DO.IT. Don't accept it as a gift. Don't buy it used. Don't get it. Just don't. Stay well clear.
With much respect and affection for you all,
Axel

Samsung Brightside? Until they fix DO NOT BUY

The Samsung Brightside is defective. I have had two in less than one month and both did not let me use the T9 function. When a person uses the T9 function the phone powers off and re-starts. There are many many complaints on this board but Verizon is just not moving to resolve this issue.
I would suggest that Verizon let Samsung know that they will not sell Samsung phones if they do not get a fix going. I suggest that Samsung through Verizon,
1. recall the phone so that we all can exchange it for one that works
2. recall the phone so that you can bring it in to a Verizon dealer where they can install a software up date
3. Verizon allows the exchange for another phone and send all the poorly made Samsungs back to Korea
4. Verizon quit making false promises and give a specific course of action to us consumers how to get this corrected
I hope everyone else who mistakenly bought this phone does not give up. You can contact Better Business Bureau, your States Attorney, Consumer Protection Agency and more. Please post any other ideas you have to get this resolved.
If no fix every happens then I hope people remember this when their contracts are done.
Recently Apple replaced first generation iPods with the newest generation. All you had to do was go online and submit the serial number, send in the old one, working or not, wait and then get a new one.
Samsung & Verizon do you get the hint?

I would like a phone that works. Here is an article I read from another customer.
Re: Samsung Brightside? Until they fix DO NOT BUY
created by PMack62 in Basic Phones - View the full discussion
I just filed a formal complaint with the Massachusetts Attorney General's office regarding this phone. It is flawed, defective, faulty and Verizon CONTINUES to sell it for profit. My Calendar and Alarm features do not WORK and I've experienced a problem with the phone turning off if you press a certain key while texting - that's CRAZY! But the Calendar and Alarm features have not work and continue not to function since i bought the phone. I brought it in twice to the SUDBURY MASSACHUSETTS VERIZON STORE 420 BOSTON POST ROAD - and was pretty much told "too bad, so sad." Verizon would NOT contact Samsung and refused to do anything to try and fix the problem! And now ANOTHER problem has cropped up - when I get a single text, I get the text notification TWICE - THAT's NEVER happened since I bought the phone. This phone is a piece of CHIT and Verizon continues to profit on clueless customers!
Apple just replaced all their forst gen ipods with the latest gen ipod based on battery issues. Verizon could do the same with folks who bought this phone. The consumer could type in teh serial number then Verizon/Samsung could send out a comparable phone that works. Yes, we get to keep the phone until we get a new one. Verizon has LG and Pantech that seem to work so why not let us replace our Samsung for one of these at a Verizon store and "no questions asked"? How about a touch screen phone that requires a data plan but we do not get to activate the data plan portion of the phone. How about we keep the phone you do not charge for ANYTHING until the contract is up. The fix simple but emails and promises only are a way to stall the consumer hoping they will go away. I do plan to "go away" if I do not get resolution.

MiFi issues-DO NOT BUY

I have now had 4 Mi Fi's since August 2011.
The first one lasted less than 3 months (It was brand new) Spent half hour on the phone troubleshooting.
I was sent a "certified preowned like new"-it lasted less that 4 months when a connection came loose-I was sent another "certified preowned like new".
This one did not work-spent a half hour on the phone troubleshooting-paid $12.99 to have another one shipped over night which arrived 3 days later. This one (another ceritified preowned like new)did not work either-I spent an hour on the phone troubleshooting it- I asked to be released from my contract or sent a new one- I was told that they would have to put in a "work order" and would call me in 2 or 3 days- I asked how much time I would have to spend on the phone this time and was not given an answer.
DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE. (they also suddedly turn off)

Rosie,
Could you elaborate for the rest of us what your problem was?
You mention the Mifi did not last and did not work but any extra details you can spare would be very helpful for the rest of us so we can compare currently known issues and document new ones. Anyone who has gone through 4 mifi's in 8 months must have a pretty serious issue we could learn from.
For example common issues with the MiFi are disconnections from VZW, disconnections from local devices, slow speeds and failure to handoff between 3G and 4G.

Good day, tell me what to do iphone 4s bought preowned raised to 7.2 firmware but it requires aktivatsyi apple id but I do not know it because they do not buy a new one. and contact the seller lost in what to do now tell me?

There is no way around the activation lock. You apparently decided to use the phone with someone else's ID set up for an iCloud (and find my iPhone) account before updating. Since Find My iPhone was active, updating to iOS 7 has automatically turned on the activation lock. If you do not have the Apple ID and password that were previously used, then the phone is now useless. You can't activate it without that informaion.
Talk to whoever you bought the phone from if you can. If you can't, buy a new phone.

DO NOT BUY AN IPHOTO BOOK!!!!!!!

I have been going at it with Apple now for over a month! I ordered a book and it came back with blank pages and with photos not scaled properly. (This was my second iPhoto book. The first one also had several minor printing flaws which we overlooked) I sent three emails via the iPhoto support page and received no replies. Apple promises a response within 48 hrs. Then some two weeks later they had the nerve to send me a survey thanking me for using the web support function and please rate "how we did!" You can only imagine how I responded. I next tried contacted a live person at Apple Care to help me out. I provided them my order number. They indicated that was not a valid order number. Turns out that Apple Care cannot track orders made through iPhoto! No one at Apple Care was even familiar with what an iPhoto book was. I then called Apple corporate hq's and spoke to a "customer care" rep. She assured me I would be contacted within 48 hrs (sound familiar) and my problem would be resolved. I heard nothing for over a week. Calls back to Ms. Graser of customer care were met by voice mail. Finally this week I received a canned response back from Apple. They noted that they would credit the charge back to my card. They also asked if I were interested in reordering my book and if so they would "assist" me. I replied that I was interested in trying to reorder the book. So what does Apple do? Without any further contact to find out why the book came back incomplete (such as a corrupt file or incomlete file transfer), they reprinted the same screwed up book and recharged my credit card for the full amount (including $15 for express shipping)!
BUYER BEWARE! Apple provides no support or quality control for this product. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heidi,
Welcome to the forums, and I'm sorry about your book. I too have ordered a book very recently and also found several photos to be on the dark side, and several too red as well.
But I believe that there's a "but" here.
I don't know your professional background -- I work in the print industry (I design pages) and I know how hard it is to get the color correction on images just right, EVEN if your monitor is calibrated and your particular version of image processing software is optimized for use with your specific output device. And that's when a professional is behind the wheel, which I am not.
My iMac's monitor is not calibrated, I am not trained to make images look their best for reproduction, and I am using a consumer-level application. With a little bit of research on these forums (which you have done), anyone can find out that the reviews on the iPhoto books' quality are mixed... At the very least you'll know you're taking a calculated risk -- as you said yourself.
I would consider myself a picky customer, but I am not disappointed with the quality of these books, especially considering the price, and knowing how difficult and unpredictable color correction can be. If you have some photos that are good (even if it is only 25 out of 142), then I would suspect the problem is with the "pre-pressing" of these images, not the printing. If the printing was to blame, they would ALL be bad.
That said, I am still sorry about your negative experience. We anticipate these books to be great, and it's a bummer when they aren't.
Full disclosure: I am in fact asking for a refund as well on my recent book, and I too don't like the fact that there is no phone support for iPhoto orders. I sent my e-mail 24 hours ago, so it hasn't been 48 hours yet. The reason I am asking for a refund is not due to print quality (I think I am responsible for the color/darkness thing), but because my $57 softcover 8.5x11 book arrived in a flimsy envelope and got bent during shipping. The (cheaper) calendars I ordered the same day arrived in sturdy boxes, so the logic behind that escapes me.
Anyway. For the future, if you've got a project you really care about, I'd recommend spending a little extra and ordering a "test book" with the minimum amount of pages, using only your most challenging photos, so you'll know how to tweak them for the final book. If it matters that much, the extra money will be well-spent, and in the end, the price/quality factor of these one-of-a-kind books will still be more than acceptable.
Just my thoughts.

Do not buy the USB3 PNY Turbo Flash Drive!

I have highly recommended the USB 3 PNY Turbo Flash Drive in the recent past as a fantastic Read storage device. Well do not buy it. PNY drastically changed the memory chips inside without changing the model number and now it is a terrible device for holding your media for editing operations.
Thanks to Randall for making me aware of this problem. I now have 4 of the older good type and 3 bum ones. Here are two Windows 8 transfer plots of a large AVI file from the USB 3 Flash drive to a Samsung 840 Pro on my laptop. The first one is the original one that I purchased last July with a file transfer rate of 185 MB/s, and the second plot is the lousy performance of 120 MB/sec.of one of the last devices purchased in November.
The new ones are usable but nowhere as desirable as the 1st generation. I checked several websites and see that they no longer advertise the old faster specifications. Also I have tested all my devices and scoring is consistent and very repeatable. Now, that I know it is possible, I will start looking for a new vender that give the great read rate ideal for laptop editing. Of course it is not as convenient as a USB 3 Flash drive but my Vantec NexStar 6G USB 3 SSD enclosure with a Samsung 840 Pro drive has a Read rate of 250 MB/second.

Bill,
It looks like you may have to settle for a slower flash drive at this price point for the foreseeable future: Every single one of the USB 3.0 flash drives at this capacity point that delivers at least the same level of read performance as the original PNY Turbo costs much more money than the PNY. ($150-ish for a SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB USB 3.0 flash drive, anyone?)
With that said, the PNY Turbo 3.0 is only intended to compete with the slower USB 3.0 flash drives such as the SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 drive (whose maximum read speed is only 100 MB/sec even in its largest-capacity 128GB version).

Do Not Buy From Sony

Do not buy from Sony if you work. After 3 delivery attempts FedEx is required by Sony to ship it back to them. You CANNOT go to a FedEx facility to pick it up. After 5 phone calls with Sony support no one was willing to help me. I don't know how people who WORK buy things from this company. I will never buy anything from them ever again and I am canceling my Sony credit card. Thanks for nothing Sony.

Apple "veriifes" your Apple ID account information everytime you download media whether free or paid thus the authorization hold. Your account will be credited the amount of the holds usually within 24 to 48 hours.

Howdy Irishinked,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
If you're being prompted that your payment information needs to be veriefied, then there is some aspect of your payment type which is being denied by your financial institution. I'd like you to please follow the steps below to verify your information.
Open iTunes. If you are signed in to iTunes, skip to step 4.
Note: Verify that you are signed in to the correct iTunes account. If you are unsure which account you're signed into, choose Store > Sign Out and proceed to step 2.
Choose Store > Sign In.
Enter your account name and password, then click the Sign In button.
Choose Store > View My Account.
Click the Edit Payment Information button.
In the Payment Method section, choose None.
Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
Click the Edit Payment Information button again.
Enter your billing address exactly as it appears on your credit card statement.
Select your credit card type in the Payment Method section.
Enter your credit card information, your card's security code, and the expiration date.
Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.

My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged! When I turn it on (only turns on while plugged into wall) it says it needs to be My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged

My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
If that doesn't work...
Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.

Firefox works fine until after lunch. Then it will not open, unless I reboot. Am at work, & I shouldnt have to do that, NEED a fix.

Everyday its the same thing. By midafternoon, Firefox will not open unless I reboot. I am at work, and have too many things open all day to stop and reboot for a browser, when I also have IE. I prefer Firefox, it is set as my default, and have many passwords saved there that are not saved in IE. Surely there is a fix for this? I have removed it, downloaded it again, followed other suggestions from your site, but still have the same problem. If I leave a window open all day long, it will still work for me, and thats what I try to do. However, invariably, there will come that accidental second that I hit the red X at the top and totally regret it! Please help!

I had tried this before, but went ahead and tried this again.
I clicked on "reset Firefox". Firefox closed, but did not come back up. When I tried to open it again, I did receive a message that said Firefox is running but is not responding, that I couldn't open another window without stopping the processes on the other page.
I never got a window that showed me the information that was imported, or a place to click finish.
Since I don't believe this completed, I don't believe my problem will be solved.
Debra
