Does a new contract mean you should get new phone? NEW MEANS NEW,RIGHT?

I signed a 2 year contract and got what I was told was a brand new Blackberry Tour. Problem is when I sent in the rebate, they said the rebate was already given for that particular device.
Long story short, the phone had so many problems it was not usable 4 of 7 days a week. Had 5 replacements in 6 months and still had to buy a prepaid phone to make calls.
After having made a federal case out it, they sent a new phone, different model because the Tours were defective per RIM. However, they snuck in a total contract restart and added 9 months to my contract.
Seems to me this is just wrong. Trying to get this sorted out has cost me at least 15 solid working days and still they wont revert the contract to original start date.
I decided I can't waste anymore time fighting with Verizon to correct their problem and have heard the best ways to resolve issues like this is and FCC complaint and filing in small claims court for the fees they want to charge to end contract early (according to their start date, not mine) it would be so nice to get some reimbursement for money lost not only in time spent haggling over the issue but actual business lost because I didn't have a working phone.
I was a private contractor and can show on paper every time I missed out on a job because the phone didn't turn on or couldn't make calls. I was getting $55-85 an hour too. This ought to be an interesting one now that I'm ill and unable to work anymore. I have a lot of time to spend filing complaints.

Verizon sells certified like new devices for those who wish to get a cheaper, but still functional phone. It sounds like you purchased one of the highly discounted certified like new models.

HT4889 Replacing System hard drive with a new one. How to get everything over to the new boot drive?

Replacing System hard drive with a new one. How to get everything over to the new boot drive? Should I use Carbon Copy or does apple have a better untility to do this?
I can't get my current system drive (OSX 10.8.3) to start on the first try. I always have to shut down and restart again to finally see the Apple logo.
Have used disc utility to repair the disc and permissions several times and that works. The next time I boot up, it works fine and I get the apple logo, but then the second time I boot up, it's back to the blank screen again and it only boots after the second try. I have tried this repair three different times now always with the same result. Works right the first try (after the repair) then from the second time on it doesn't work. I just get the white screen until I reboot a second time.
Thinking I should change drives but what's the easist and best way to move everything over to the new drive so it will boot correctly with all my data on it. This is the system drive for a Pro Tools 10HD setup. MacPro 3,1 with 16 gigs ram and OSX10.8.3 on it.
Thanks for any help!

If you have a time machine back up of your current drive you can do this
Shut down your computer, install the new drive. While the computer is off plug in the external hard drive that you have your time machine back up on. Hold Option key while the computer turnes on, let go of the option key once you get a grey screen. Shortly after you'll see a list of bootable drives, select the one that has your time machine back up on it and boot into that drive.
From there go into disk utility, format your new drive too, osx extended journaled ( I think, double check that, its been awhile since ive had to do this), hit format
Exit disk utility and then you can use time machine to copy all your exisit data to the new hhd and then your pretty much done.
There is also a program called Carbon Cloner that will do esentially the same thing however I've never uesed it.

Thanks for the responses, they have been very illuminating!
This is very disappointing from The Carphone Warehouse. If they had mentioned this when I went into their stores, I wouldn't have completed the purchases. I bought two phones at separate outlets and neither of them told me this.
I have been in contact with T-Mobile already as I thought they had sneakily applied a software update that locked the phone. They have denied locking it and suggest that it is something that Apple do. Their solution was a factory reset.
I have a call logged with Apple this afternoon, so will see what they suggest. Hopefully they will give me something that I can take to The Carphone Warehouse or T-Mobile.

It suddenly popped into my head that I had read somewhere that you should keep your phone away from magnets. The pocket I had been keeping my phone in has a magnetic closure. Should I not keep it there?

Stedman is quite right. You know you have to not have it on you while close to a magnetic field that is very very strong, like in the MRI.

I have a new computer and want to sync my phone to the new but dont want to lose the information. how do i transfer

i have a new computer and want to sync my phone to the new but dont want to lose the information. how do i transfer. i was told there was a way but not sure how

for the purchased items from the iTunes Store, you could use transfer of purchases
for the photos, other music/movie not from itunes, you'll be needing a third party application
for contacts, calendars , photos from camera roll : you could just directly transfer it from your phone to the computer.

When ever create new version specified User should get intimation Mail

Hi,
My requirement is when ever user create new DIR version, system should send some intimation Mail to specified user.
If it's not possible in standard system, Pls let me know it is possible through development or not.
Thanks & Regards,
Sunny

Does the specific user, u want to send the mail, keeps changing?
At the time of creation of a DIR if reqd value is maintained in User Responsible then he'll get the mail in his SAP Inbox stating "The Document for which u r responsible has been created/modified".
For this certain linkages in workflow needs to be activated.
If you want to send the mail in specific format with some more details, then u may use messages functionality of DMS in which mails are sent based on Document Type & Status combination.
Another option is using workflow. For this u need to define a simple workflow task which can be triggered based on status. you need to maintain this task in Status settings.
Points Appreciated.

Droid X - Data plan required when you active a used phone with no new contract?

Since the droid X is an older smartphone, is a data plan still required when you active a used phone without signing a new contract?

Droid X Launch Date: 7/15/2010
Deadline for smartphone release without data plan requirement: November 2008.
Verizon will not allow you to activate *any* android phone without data.

New iMac 27" and cannot get it to mount a new LaCie thunderbolt drive. Any suggestions?

My new iMac 27" finally arrived and seemed to be working fine,until today when I received, from Apple Store, a LaCie d2, 3TB drive. Connected the Thunderbolt cables and powered it up. Rapidly flashing blue light on the drive but it does not mount on the desktop and does not show in the system report. Could be a bad drive or.........
All help appreciated.

Can you see the drive in the System Report or Disk Utility?
One thing I read was that you need to do is to shut down, and unplug everything, your iMac, the Thunderbolt drive, everything. Then reconnect, and start up the iMac. Seems to cure everything.
If not, return the drive to the Apple store, and see if that fixes it. If that doesn't fix it, then return the iMac within the 14 day no questions asked return period and get a new one. You'll have to move fast.

Need help getting I phone music onto new Mac computer

Just got a new Mac pro. I'm having trouble trying to get my Ipod music from my I-phone to the Mac. I've tried everything I know. I must be just missing something. Every time I try to sync, it tells me it will erase everything on the phone when it puts all the mac files to the phone, and there are not any files on the mac yet. Scared to continue afraid it will erase all my music. any help appreciated.

Use Migration Assistant or something to duplicate (more or less) your old computer on the new Mac pro. I believe you just move the iTunes Library folder into the same place on the new machine, but google should help. Then re-sync the phone.
If your old computer is inaccessible, PhoneView or TouchCopy may help out.

New computer, how do i get the songs on my new computer.

I got a new computer cause other one crashed and i need to get my songs over to my new computer with out loosing the songs i got off of cd's. what do i do?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.
The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

I ordered my droid maxx over 24 hours ago - can't call verizon because I don't have a working phone right now - it says it's still in processing. I was told I should get my phone today, despite it still being in processing instead of having shipped.

Tuesday night (2/3) I ordered a droid maxx using an upgrade because my s4 LCD screen shattered. I was told it would be over night shipping,a nd I should get it Thursday. I borrowed my wife's phone to call verizon last night to ask why it was still listed as "in processing" and I was reassured I should get it today.As of now, it's still listed as "In processing." When I asked a chat rep how it could still be in processing and I still supposedly get it today (as they had initially reassured me), they referred me to customer care. I won't be able to call verizon for quite some time because I don't have a phone myself right now. Help!

i am in the same boat, ordered tuesday after 4pm, as they said it would ship by 4pm the next day and 2 day shipping used.. have no Fedex tracking number, but found out once order is made,theres a place called the warehouse that can hold 3 days, before shipping anything out or the ware house.. so now instead of being home and able to sing for the phone, we will have to shift work schedules, one verixon decides that they will ship my phone to my house. so for 2 day shipping i may get it after 1 week..been told for 2 days in a row that it will ship... nothing but online sales tells me no delays no problems, but warehouse says it special configuration on my phone takes 3 days, but cant tell me when it will ship, or be delivered..

Does a new contract mean you should get new phone? NEW MEANS NEW,RIGHT?
