Do you think VZ should change my plan?

They tricked me into believing they were giving me the best option for me when I upgraded my phone. They took my unlimited data, leaving me only 2GB. Later I found out the amount of data I got was negotiable and customized. If they asked me or let me know how it worked, I could've got more data than only 2GB as some other customers did. So, I asked them to change it to give me a little more data, but they refused it. Plus, a couple representatives told me a lie that I would get more data from the next month, probably hoping that I'd just forget about it. Several other representatives were just busy making excuses. They said I should've asked them withing 60 days. I would've if they'd let me know!!

Reality is what I said it is. The More Everything plans have 13 data packages from 500 MB to 100 GB.
Everyone else has been paying $30 for 2 GB since July 2011. You've been getting unlimited data for the same price and now are mad you don't have it anymore so who is greedy? Verizon can end unlimited data at any time and will do it sooner or later.
Also you could have kept unlimited data by paying full price for your phone. If unlimited data is that important then you can go to T-Mobile or Sprint. T-Mobile has unlimited data plans for $50 a line.

Do you think 3G should be added on the regular iphone?

Do you think 3G should be added on the regular iphone? Well I do, because it just doesn't seem fair to the people that already bought the regular iphone. I mean, no one wants to waste an extra $200 for a phone that does the same stuff, the only difference is it has 3G.

I am curious. Why do so many first gen iPhone users feel they should get special consideration for the iPhone 3G. It's a new product so it's going to be sold as so. Apple, like many other organizations is a business. If every time they released a new product and gave those that bought the previous version a discount or special privileges, they wouldn't make much money. I myself got my iphone around christmas, and certainly don't feel i should be able to trade in my phone for the 3g one. You don't go ask your car dealership to upgrade your car just because you bought last year's model. To be perfectly honest, my phone has been working great since i had it and i'm more afraid that if i get a new one that it just might give me problems. There won't be a SIGNIFICANT difference between the 1st gen iphone and the 3G one (but that's my opinion). Faster internet is good, but you will still get to the same internet. They say the sound is better, but I honestly think something like that will always be subjective. The iPhone is a great product. People should enjoy the phone they have and shouldn't be so quick to want to just get rid of it because a new one is being released. Now when the 3rd gen is released, everyone that bought the second gen a month before the 3rd gen is released is going to want the same type of consideration.

Do you think apple should include a sd card slot in future Ipads?

For what purpose? I don't miss having one. The Camera Connection Kit is available for importing photos from SD cards. I like the clean look of not having loads of openings in the case.

So, what do you think I should do?

So, I'm getting into computer graphics and 3D stuff. I have realized that the Radeon 9600 that is default in my Dual 2.3 G5 isn't the greatest for 3D design. I was @ the Apple store the other day and was trying out the different machines. I'm really impressed with the new iMacs that Apple just released. They had Final Cut Pro running with some content and it was really smooth. I was planning on eventually upgrading to a Mac Pro to replace my Dual G5 but I was wondering do you think the new iMacs are good enough for this kind of thing? I plan on using Cinema 4D from Maxon, and probably Blender.
I guess these are my options:
1. Sell my Dual G5 / 20" Cinema display and get one of the new iMacs.
2. Keep my Dual G5 and upgrade the video card.
3. Keep my Dual G5 and make do with it or use it along with my MacBook Pro until I can get a Mac Pro.
4. Sell my Dual G5 and use my MacBook Pro with my Cinema display, Keyboard, and Mighty Mouse even though the resolution on the Cinema display will only be 1600 x 1000...and put the money I get from the G5 torward a Mac Pro.
To be honest the performance I'm getting with my G5 is great with everything except for the 3D graphics. I tried the demo of Cinema 4D on my G5 and my MacBook Pro, and the MB Pro blew it away. With some of the animation demo content m G5 was running @ about 12 FPS. My MacBook Pro was running the same content @ full speed. The performance with Blender is actually pretty good on the G5. I'm not sure if it's the intel processor or if its just because the video card ***** in the G5. I don't want to go upgrading the video card if it's really because of the G5 processor. I have 1.5 GB RAM in my MB Pro and 2.5 GB in my G5. What is your advice?

Congrats on the new Mac Pro, it was hard from reading your request if money was an option or not.
I have a Guad G5 and love it, and I am running the NVidia Quadra card, and run Motion, Shake , Final Cut Pro, Color etc and it runs like melted butter.
And I guess it helps that I have it maxed on ram..
Cheers.

I have an external drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. Which format do you think I should use? Will either one cause damage to the files on the hard drive?

I have an external hard drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. I also want to be able to connect it to my TV and watch movies.
I read up and I think I am supposed to use exFAT or FAT32? I also saw MS-DOS. Which format should I should use? Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
My little memory stick uses MS-DOS and it works on both mac and windows.
Please can you just tell me a little about each and suggest which one to use.
I know how to change it once you tell me so don't waste your time writing about changing it.

Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
WARNING: FORMATTING A DRIVE ERASES IT COMPLETELY !!
If you need to carry large files (e.g., larger than about 4GB) back and forth, you may need ExFAT. Otherwise MS-DOS works for smaller files.
The Mac can Read, but not write Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) without an add-on program such as Paragon NTFS.

What do you think I should do?

Okay, here I go...
I bought a MBP back in June 22. I returned that one because it was giving me problems, one KP (Kernel Panic) per day, the speakers sounded awful (the day I took it back they didn't even work!!) It was a week 21. Apple swapped it right there and then for a new MBP, week 22. This one has only given me one KP so far. The panic.log goes as follows:

The KP happened while I was shutting down my MBP, weird (for me at least) I thought they only happened when you were using wireless internet and downloading large files?
Okay my question is, should I call Apple and try to get them to change the logic/motherboard or do I take it back to the Apple store and tell them basically everything I'm saying in here?
I have AppleCare for 3 yrs. and my 14 days still don't expire (I have until July 9th)
Also this heat issue is also getting on my nerves...the bottom of my new MBP gets really hot. I have to use my old art journals as a shield from the heat that emanates from the bottom.
Any suggestions from you guys will be appreciated...
Thanx in advance.

MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Long story short...I went to the Apple store, got told the same thing, and after pointing out a creek (located on just as the right speaker ends; I had to lift it up and then gently press) they told me that the "creek" wasn't normal and that I could get an exchange for a new one....still not convinced that this one is going to be better from the last two. But I still have high hopes for it...I mean, I love this machine, and sometimes you cant help but complain....its just that why so many problems with it.

Reply if you think Microsoft should make Streaming video in conferences possible.

Hi all,
After recently implementing Lync in our environment, i was asked a question by one of the users.
"Why cant Lync stream video files during conferences like Webex"
I researched a lot, even tried to embed files in powerpoint but there are a lot of restrictions and limitations and so on...
On the other hand, alternative solutions like webex and PGI are very much capable of providing this feature. which brings me to this discussion:
"REPLY TO THIS POST TO LET MICROSOFT KNOW THIS FEATURE IS IMPORTANT AND THAT THEY SHOULD ADDRESS IT IN THEIR NEXT RELEASE"
I hope, I am not the only needing this feature :)
thanks

I would recommend you submit your suggestion on: http://lync.ideascale.com/ .
This site is not supported by Microsoft, but many in the Lync community will vote on your items.
Please mark posts as answers/helpful if it answers your question.

My MacBook Pro laptop says 'service battery' and doesn't charge very well but my Mac is 5 years old. Is it worth buying a new battery or do you think I should buy a new mac?

Hi guys,
I can only leave my MacBook Pro unplugged for an hour maximum and it never seems to fully charge. It says on the Mac to service battery - which I guess means buy a new battery.
I have had my MacBook for over 5 years now and it does get used probably every day, if not every other. If I brought a new battery would it all work normally again or is it getting old and do I need a new one?
Also, my charger seems to be playing up a bit now as well. It's seems to be temperamental when I plug it in and takes to while to light up and charge. I've attached an image of the battery bit on my laptop as the lead seems to be fine - is this normal?
Thanks in advance guys.

Is there any application(s) that your current Mac cannot run that only a new can? Calculate the cost per year of your current MBP and compare that to the cost of a new battery. Spread the battery cost over a year or two of additional operation, how do the dollar amounts compare? If the MBP is functioning properly, I generally find it is more cost effective to keep it.
If the retina display and the SSD storage are very desirable from your perspective, then that becomes a different matter. You are the one to make the final decision.
Ciao.

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1.1, my back camera doesn't auto focus anymore, and it takes blurry pictures. What do you think I should do?

after updating to ios 7.1.1, my camera doesn't focus anymore. pictures are blurry. what do i do? can anyone help me with this?

Hello Megeedolore,
It sounds like your rear facing camera is not functioning correctly. I would start by quitting all the open apps on the phone with the following article:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, and you have a protective case, remove the phone from the case and retest the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

What do you think of my Bash Script? What about the error checking?

Well what do you think of this Bash script
It works
I gave it some problems (i.e. unpluged the ethernet, messed up the URL's, uninstaled some programs...) to see if would report errors and stop or just keep going... But it did
I just kind of thought up a way to do some error checking with the commands that I know.....
What is a better way to do error checking?
What do you think I should add/Do to this script?

Personally..... (this is just how I would have written it - if it works, then it's good enough for me though )
I would change this whole block:
verify="n"
while [ "$verify" != y ]
do
printf "Do you have mbr installed... yes or no?"
read AN1
echo ""
printf "You answered... $AN1 I have installed mbr. Is this correct... y or n?"
read verify
done
echo ""
if [ "$AN1" == "no" ]
then
echo "Install mbr now. Then run this script agin"
exit
else
echo "contunuing script"
fi
To this much shorter code:
MBR='/usr/bin/install-mbr' # Or where ever you expect it to be
if [ ! -x $MBR ] ; then
echo "mbr doesn't appear to be installed."
echo "If it is installed, check it's location, make sure it's executable and then make sure the MBR variable in this script is correct"
exit 1
fi
I wouldn't have used the checkXX variables for each stage:
mkdir ~/usbbiosfiles
if [ $? != 0 ] ; then
#failed
echo "Could not \make directory usbbiosfiles"
echo "look above \for \info"
echo "Fix the problem and run this scrip agin"
exit 1
else
echo "Made directory usbbiosfiles... OK"
fi
There is an issue with the way you do your verifications - the user can never get out unless they answer 'y' or hit CTRL+C. Something like this gives them options:
verify="n"
while [ "$verify" != "y" && "$verify" != "n" ]; do
echo "You need to answer 'y'es or 'n'o"
read verify
echo $verify | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]" # This converts the answer to lowercase so replies entered in upper case will still work
done
if [ $verify != 'y' ] ; then
exit 1
fi
One last thing I try to do in scripts... Declare all your binaries as variables at the start of the program, then execute the binary program by using the variable. For example:
# Binaries
TAR='/bin/tar'
CP='/bin/cp'
CHMOD='/bin/chmod'
# Execute tar and chmod the created file
$TAR cvzf /tmp/tarfile.tar.gz /etc/*.conf
$CHMOD 400 /etc/*.conf
This way, it's easy to change the path in future without having to hunt through the script if the paths change, and it also ensures you're calling the programs using the full paths to make sure you're not executing some strange variant or alias that someone has setup. If I use `chmod` 30 times in a script, and the path changes in the future or on a different system (`chmod` is a bad example cause it's highly unlikely to change, but you know what I mean), then all you need to do is update the variable at the start of the script, and it all works again without having to script-hunt and change it 30 times.

WHY DO I NEED TO CHANGE DATA PLAN IN ORDER TO GET A NEW PHONE?

WHY DO I NEED TO CHANGE PLAN IN ORDER TO GET A NEW PHONE FOR A CHEAPER PRICE ?

You do not like the answer that is different then you being wrong. Everyone can think things about anything, but it is a black and white issue. To get a new cheaper phone, then you would have to change your plan.

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.
