Don't buy Fascinate if you need email

It's got no reliability for email, takes hours if not days to download e-mail from charter.net (altough based on other forums, etc.) it's not just charter. POP3/SMTP
Please save yourself the headache and don't buy it.
Charter says call Verizon. Still waiting to make contact with me although they have left me a message.)

I recently upgraded to a Samsung Fascinate, and, like everyone else that has come here looking for answers, I had many problems with setting up the email on my phone to work correctly on my phone AND pc. Today, after reading posts on Charter, Verizon, and the Droid forums, I've found what appears to work correctly for the Fascinate. I don't know if it will work for all Droid phones, but here's what I used...
Incoming Server Settings
Username: user email name (without the '@charter.net')
Password: account password
POP3 Server: pop.charter.net
Port: 110
Security type: None
Outgoing Server Settings
SMTP server: smtp.charterinternet.com
Port: 25
Security type: None
Require sign-in: checked
Username: [email protected]
Password: account password
With the above settings, I am able to send and receive from my phone AND my pc without any error messages. I think the whole key to it is making sure not to use IMAP as the protocol on your phone. The IMAP protocol is intended to improve performance by leaving the email user logged onto the email account. This will cause a problem when another device (pc) wants to get email.
I tried using the other settings suggested in the various forum posts. These seem to work for me. I hope it helps someone else.

Do you need it?

hi!
im trying to rip some of my dvd's onto my ipod, and i think i know how to do it from past research, but what i don't know is do you need an actual dvd player on your computer to do it, or does a regular cd-rom disk drive work?
thanks for the help!

You'll need a DVD player on your computer.
A CD-ROM drive is not capable of reading a DVD.

I forgot my security questions and i don't have a rescue email and in order to make a rescue email you need to know your security questions..... Is there anything I can do?

Is there any way to set up a rescue email if you don't know your security questions?

No. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Hey I have a problem. I want to change my rescue email address as somehow apple has the wrong one but I don't know my security questions - but you need one to change the other. Any help?

You can get your Security Questions reset by contacting iTunes Support at either of the two links below. Select the best options for your issue, or provide specific information. Let them know you are contacting them concerning Forgotten Security Questions. They will get back to you via your primary email address, usually within 24 hours. Once your Security Questions have been reset, you will be able to go in and reset your Rescue email address on your account:

Don't buy an iPhone if you use a Windows PC

iPhones are made to work with Mac computers. Your experience will be limited if you have a Windows PC. I want a phone that can stream longer home videos from the phone to the PC to send to family living in other states. The Apple program iPhoto will not work with Windows. I may be the only person on the planet who has read the 163-page iPhone 4 manual. Under the instructions for streaming video, it tells me that it cannot be done if I have a Windows computer. Yes, iTunes and Quick Time media players have Windows conversions, but so far iPhotos does not, and it is the only program used for sending longer home video from the phone to the computer.
The phone's memory allows me to email or text a 50 second video, but if I want a longer video, I have to stream it and I can’t because iPhoto is for Macs only. Word to the wise: If you buy an iPhone it is best to have an Apple computer or you will not be able to enjoy all the iPhone features. BTW, the Droid and Blackberry are Windows compatible. I hope my lesson learned the hard way will help others when making a decision about which phone to buy.

There are other options to make longer videos available for others to view. Telling people that you shouldn't buy an iPhone if you use a Windows PC is ridiculous....you do realize that despite Apple's popularity most of the computers owned are PC's and not MAC machines. Which would make it easy to assume that there are quite a few Windows PC users that are iPhone owners...and are more than happy with their device and it's abilities. If streaming is that important to you then for you, perhaps you either need a different device or you need to get a MAC. Otherwise, consider uplaoding the video to a platform that you can easily share all of your videos with anyone you wish. It's not rocket science and it doesn't make your videos any less shareable. FYI...perhaps this is possible on a droid device but prior to getting the iPhone I was a long time BB user. You COULD NOT stream or send long length videos to a computer or via text or any other format. You could sync it to the computer and upload it to a site that others could go view. You could upload the video from the BB to sites like FaceBook and YouTube, but the time it took was long depending on the video and more apt to fail....versus just syncing the video to your computer via the desktop manager and then uploading it to the site of your choice. I'm not an Apple worshipper...but your declaration based off of your inability to have access to a MAC program not because you have an iPhone, but because you chose to purchase a Windows PC is beyond ridiculous. And your assumption that you're the only person to have read the manual is laughable at best. Perhaps if you had done your research for the function you wanted to be able to do prior to purchasing your iPhone (the manual has been available for the iPhone online since the iPhone 4 was first made available to AT&T...several months before VZW got it, giving you plenty of time to research this info in that manner not to mention you had free access to forums such as the Apple Support forum that could have given you first hand info on whether the action you wanted to perform was possible for an iPhone owner that uses Windows PC. Plus, if you haven't had your phone for too long you have time to return it. If it has been too long you can easily sell it assuming that it is still is excellent condition and get very good money on it...money that can go towards getting the device you feel will better suit your needs. At any rate, good luck with whatever you choose. Hopefully you can find an alternative method to fit your needs...or you can get the device (or a MAC) to help you get what you are looking for.

Hello, i have been sent the following email from apple: - You've taken the added security step and provided a rescue email address. Now all you need to do is verify that it belongs to you... and asks for apple login details, is this a genuine request?

Hello, i have been sent the following email from apple, see below and asks for apple login details, is this a genuine request?
Thank you.
You’ve taken the added security step and provided a rescue email address. Now all you need to do is verify that it belongs to you.
The rescue email address that you gave us is [email protected]
Just click the link below to verify, sign in using your Apple ID and password, then follow the prompts.
Verify Now >
The rescue email address is dedicated to your security and allows Apple to get in touch if any account questions come up, such as the need to reset your password or change your security questions. As promised, Apple will never send any announcements or marketing messages to this address.
When using Apple products and services, you’ll still sign in with your primary email address as your Apple ID.
It’s about protecting your identity.
Just so you know, Apple sends out an email whenever someone adds or changes a rescue email address associated with an existing Apple ID. If you received this email in error, don’t worry. It’s likely someone just mistyped their own email address when creating a new Apple ID.
If you have questions or need help, visit the Apple ID Support site.
Thanks again,
Apple Support

In that case, someone is trying to hi-jack your Apple ID.
You should change your password immediately.

You need to create more buy in for this to work

As opposed as I am to lifetime subscriptions (creative cloud, MS Office, virus scanners, etc.), I can see some value in them as long as they bring value to me. I have no doubt in my mind that I can continue to work unhindered permanately with Adobe CS6 products without giving you another red cent - ever. Just as I can continue to use MS Office 2010 withouit paying MS anything else for a word processor, spreadsheet program and email/calendar client. You need to give me a REAL reason to not do this. I can personally only justify $50/month for CC with the following features:
1. Real cross-platform support. That means linux. There is no point in me spending money forever on a product (a product for which I can already do everything now with no additional cost). My business will gain nothing from CC short-term or long-term unless I can gain value from this purchase and save money from something else, and that basically means running on linux. Putting an extremely stable five-year updateable workstation OS like Ubuntu 12.04 on current hardware without having to shell out big $$$ to Apple for their non-upgradeable and non-serviceable hardware would flat-out save me money, money I would be willing to give to Adobe instead of Apple. I do have some workstations running Windows, but the Ubuntu and Mac workstations are more productive IMO working in creative suite, with less OS issues. I can see no reason not to code/port to linux other than developer laziness. People are disgusted with Microsoft since Windows 8 and Mac's just cost too much money in this economy. There are only a few reasons everyone is not already running linux - games in Windows (which Valve is starting to address with the steambox and steam for linux), Adobe products and MS Office. Office 2010 runs great under wine, so screw Microsoft. If you developed CC for linux, big-name vendors would instantly start selling home and business workstations pre-installed with Ubuntu designed for digital editing. It's not that linux users are completely opposed to spending money on software and demanding open-source, they just don't have much of a choice of anything to spend it on. Give them a quality product at a reasonable price, they will pay.
2. Better mobile support. We need real tools for quick edits on popular formats on our mobile devices. As our devices are getting faster, we need more integration for when we are not sitting in front of our workstation. For $50/month, this should be included and featured.
3. Better cloud-based training. To draw people in and keep them paying, they are going to need more frequent content updates, that also means proper feature training. The training should be easy to understand and readily available upon new features.
4. More cloud storage, much more.

ebnovotny,
Have you also used Address Book>Card>Make This My Card?
If you have, you could also quit iCal, find the com.apple.ical.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences folder and drag it to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and check if your card is recognized.

I don't understand how to transfer my email contacts from my Windows laptop to my iPhone? What do I need to do?

Hey wahanz!
In order to sync your Windows contacts to your iPhone, you will need to first create an iCloud account:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436
You will create the iCloud account on your iOS device, and when you do, don’t forget to turn on contact syncing in the initial setup. Then you will want to download the iCloud control panel for Windows onto your computer and install it:
iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455
Make sure that your contacts are in Outlook, as that is the supported way of syncing your contacts to iCloud, then make sure you have the contact syncing enabled in the iCloud control panel on your computer, and when the contacts have synced, they will be available on your iOS device! Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

You aren't addressing anyone from Apple here. This is a user forum.
You might want to call a neaby Apple store to see if they have a free class you could attend.

What you need to know before buying an antenna

Isn’t it time you upgraded to an antenna? Wait… what? Upgrade to an antenna? Whether or not you’re a cord cutter (meaning you’ve cancelled your monthly television service) you might find that adding an antenna to your entertainment viewing space can be a great upgrade for a variety of reasons. Whatever those reasons are, here’s what you need to know before buying an antenna.

I don't set out to sell anything, I'm an independent writer tasked with writing stuff about things to inform people. We link stuff to help people find things if they want to buy them, but the above isn't a sales pitch, it's info to help people figure out if they want or need something.
I didn't know that there was a cabal of antenna dealers who have been promulgating a myth (as a writer: nicely done there) about the nature of NTSC and ATSC; I hadn't ever considered that the antenna market was that large. When I received the request to write an article about antennas I was actually surprised; antennas don't have the support of major telecommunications companies and I sincerely doubt that there's going to be a run on them because of this article. I saw this as a bit of a public service opportunity to talk about a technology that a small segment would be interested in.
Anyway, I'm not sure we're going to get much farther on this; yes Best Buy sells antennas, but no, they didn't ask for an ad. They asked for an article that focused on how these antennas work and what to look for. Thank you for adding your insight about ATSC - I think that was actually covered in paragraphy three, but it's nice to see it spelled out more directly.
Have a nice day - and if you'd like to discuss this directly, please send me a DM on twitter @thetechnogram

I *just* want to buy Lightroom, I don't want a "plan". Surely this must be possible or is adobe just forcing us to buy more than we need?

Yes, I think they would like you to by the CC plan. But you can still get the standalone.
The Trial Download is here:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom
This is exactly the same as the paid for version but time limited. I seem to recall that the option to convert the Trial to a Paid for version pops up every time you start it.

Do you need a credit card to buy the sketchbook proor can you use itunes cards?

Hi..
It might depend on the tax rate for your location.
If you are in the U.S. > http://www.bankrate.com/finance/taxes/check-taxes-in-your-state.aspx
If taxes or fees are applied to the $59.99, I doubt that $60.12 will cover it. You may need to purchase another iTunes gift card which you can redeem to increase the funds available.
it is 59.99 dollers and i have 60.12 and it goes to the billing part
If there are not funds available you will see a dialog asking you to edit your payment information. When there are not sufficient funds, the difference between the purchase amount and funds available is deducted from a credit or debit card account. If you don't want to have a credit or debit card then purchase another iTunes gift card.

I keep getting the message You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. but I don't have an update available in app world. Now what?

I keep getting the message You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. but I don't have an update available in app world. I did the update but it doesn't seem to be registering on my macbook pro. Now I can't open any of my documents as I keep getting this message. Now what???

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
