Get a load of this

So my 20gb iPod kicked the bucket a few days ago and I go out and buy a shuffle. I get it home and find the shuffle cant connect to my eMac due to its design. My keyboard is a MacAlly keyboard with USB 1.0 so that wont work either. I go and pull out the keyboard that came with the computer. It has USB 1.1 ... anyway it allowed me to connect the iPod to the computer and transfer songs. Except the keyboard's USB ports aren't high power so it wont charge the shuffle. So I go out and buy a USB extender so I can plug my shuffle into the computer's port. Well it didn't work in 2 of the 3 ports, but the last one i tried worked. Funny thing is it charges but the computer doesnt recognize the shuffle no matter what I do. So I have to charge it with the computer's port and transfer songs through the keyboard port. A bit of a pain in the arse.
Hehe... gotta love technology.

      I have been a Verizon customer for over 10 years.We have a family plan with 4 phones and you'd think this would mean something to a company. Well not to Verizon. I am so throughly displeased with Verizon right now I am also about to make a change. I own a retail establishment and if I EVER treated my customers anything like we are being treated, wow we would be out of business.
      Will try to make this short.. Began on 3Feb at 1Am as I tried to order the "New Iphone" for my wife as this is all she could and can talk about. I start going through the steps and find out that I can not order one because I am a "cash only" customer. Huh, what is this? I am not sure what this is or how this happened? I tried everything I could to change it on-line and then tried to call customer "not" service.  Now you would think with the biggest release of a product they have had in many years they would have a special customer service set up for this release. Na, that might make sense. So once again I hit a dead end. So basically I watched for 4 weeks these emails wit my wife, all this build up.  I stayed up till 1 am to buy it and still no Iphone. 
      So I call customer service and they tell me because I had some issues with paying them with checks I will be place in cash only status for 6 months from the date of the last check.  But wait, once again I tried to explain, and the "Customer" service agent said,"I am having a hard time reading the notes"  I had called in and asked them t post date a check for 7 days and they sent it through that day, so yes it did not go through.  So who's fault is that?  Sure it's my fault for not having money in there, but I made the agreement with Verizin for them to send it through in 7 DAYS! So know I am a "Cash only" because VERIZON made a mistake? The "Customer service" Agent wasn't hearing any of that and transferred me to financial services.  Financial services said they would take the block off for 24 hours hours so I could order the phone. At this point I was tired of talking to "customer service" agents who kept interupting me and who didn't want to listen to anything I had to say, so I said fine.
       Now we are to 12 Feb (yesterday) and we return from a working trip,  expecting to return to an Iphone. No Iphone, surprise. I check the high speed, low drag internet  system Verizon has set up, no information. I call Verizon's regular "customer service", surprise the are closed....but wait. Can you believe Verizon has a special section set up for the Iphone! I have to give kudo's where they are due and they are open. The first agent I get must have been very confused because I mysteriously got disconnected. The second agent was very helpful. He discovered, now get this, that my Iphone was cancelled because once it was ready to ship I was a cash only customer and my credit card could not be charged! HA, a cash only customer!  So his solution is to repeatedly tell me that,"Sir all you have to do is go down to your local store and get your Iphone."  If I had wanted to do that I would have done that to begin and it still doesn't resolve my other issues that no one wants to deal with.
      As anyone can tell in my writing I am a sarcastic person, however I am fair and I try very hard to never interupt anyone, because I hate to be interupted. I always try to treat people with the respect I want to be trreated with.  I do however expect someone to fix this issue and no one seems to be able to.
      So, if your thinking about going with Verizon, I truely hoped this help you decide a little easier...

    Lesson learned first off never give a buisness a check if you do not have the money to cover it,i would rather be late with a payment then use any kind of bill pay or realeasing a check to pay a bill with insuffiecent funds,as for a using a creit card just buy a prepaid one and make sure it has a least a dollar on it,when a company attempts to use a credit card it will charge a dollar and put it in a pending state,then just walk into verizon store in a day or 2 with a good check and pay for the phone.maybe to late now.

  • If you thought SmoothCam was ok..ish, get a load of this --

    3D Content-preserving-wraps!! - Very impressive stuff.. I sincerely hope this ends up as a plug-in for FCP!
    http://www.finalcutuser.com/2009/06/30/content-preserving-warps-for-3d-video-sta bilization/

    I own and operate a SteadiCam system and I can honestly say judging from the initial shots i saw in that demo, they were comparable to some of my earlier footage I'd Shot with a HMC151 mounted on the sled. That's pretty impressive!
    Studio X is not far wrong as a SteadiCam operator can simply flip their rig into Low-mode, the camera just cm's from the ground... You try beding over and holding your cam that low to the ground for a 3 minute follow shot!!! Your back will go AWOL!
    However, if you look very closely at the shot with the sea in the background (frame left) you will see slight picture wobble as the image is constantly warped to create the "alternate artificial view-points" Also it would be very interesting to see how this software would hold up against vertical camera motion.. the demo only shows the camera moving left, right, forward and back.
    All things considered, I still say this is pretty impressive software. I wonder how long it would take to render say a 20 second scene in Final Cut? Hope its not as slow as Motion's Optical flow-retiming which analyses the entire scene file!!! God forbid!

  • I get problem loading page (error 404) it says the page cannot be found when i try to access the game Mobsters through my mysapce account and i cannot access it no longer through firefox and i want to find out why i cant, can you guys please help?

    i cant access my mobsters account through myspace. every time i try to access it i get "problem loading page" "this page cannot be found" "404 error" and it wont let me access it. myspace works fine but as soon as i click on the mobsters app i get the 404 error, this page cannot be found, problem loading page! can you please help?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i try to access mobsters game through myspace

    I dont understand the answer
    '''''""The problem can be solved by opening FF and choosing Tools...Add On's...select the SEARCH addon and choose UNINSTALL...restart FF browser when asked, then reload Mobsters. This worked for me. The suggestion on the 404 that says to remove Search via Add/Remove Programs is completely BS, as Search doesnt show there. ""'''''

  • Hi! I need to load a GET url that si very long. On other browsers, I can load the url. In firefox 3.6, no. There is an addons or a plugin so I can extend this limit? If yes, is possible to load automatically this addons when loading a certain page? thanks

    Hi!
    I need to load a GET url that si very long. On other browsers, I can load the url. In firefox 3.6, no.
    There is an addons or a plugin so I can extend this limit? If yes, is possible to load automatically this addons when loading a certain page? thanks
    The url is sometingh like this (this is correctly loaded, but it could be longer)

    Firefox should have problems with long GET data appended to an URL (long would be over 64k).<br />
    If there are problems then it is possible that an extension is the cause of that.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

    Has anyone not been able to get the iTunes installer to load properly and get a message like this: This iTunes installer is intended for 32 bit versions of windows. Please download and install 64 bit iTunes installer instead. I have tried repeatedly to get this to load, I have uninstalled iTunes completely and reinstalled and still get the same message.

    Yes, it's come up a number of times. If you look to the right under "more like this", you'll find threads that may offer useful suggestions.

    Restart the PC first.
    If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:

  • Using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    using time warner road runner. when I try to open up safari to home page I get error message that this version does not support the "community toolbar" can't proceed until closing the error message. sick of seeing it

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
    Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
    Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

  • Purchased movie in iTunes but "cannot load at this time"

    Using my iPad, I purchased a movie on iTunes (through the iTunes app).  Purchased was confirmed.  The movie appears in my "Videos" app, but it will only play if I am connected to my wifi.  If I go to iTunes it will show up as a "Purchased" movie and even give me the option to download.  I have selected this option several times but each time I get a message about 2/3 of the way through that says "cannot load at this time."  I want to be able to watch this movie without a wifi connection. A couple of potentially relevant facts:  I have a 3rd generation, wifi only, 64 GB.  I have plenty of storage available. I do everything on the iPad only (I do not go onto iTunes using a laptop/desktop).  I purchased a different movie only a few days earlier and I did not have this problem.
    A friend suggested that I need to delete the movie from my "Videos" app library on the iPad and then try to download again but I'm afraid the purchase will then be gone.  Will this work or are there any other suggestions? 
    Thanks

    This is probably due to a loss of internet connection. Update the apps on your computer in iTunes, and then sync your device. This should fix the problem. Next time you update your apps, make sure you stay in a wi-fi zone.

  • When I attempt to open iphoto, I get the loading icon in the working space/picture area.  If I try to reinstall ilife '11, will I lose any pictures?  Where, on the hard drive, are all my pictures actually stored?

    When I attempt to open iphoto, I get the loading icon in the working space/picture area.  If I try to reinstall ilife '11, will I lose any pictures?  Where, on the hard drive, are all my pictures actually stored?

    You won't lose anything because you have a back up, right?
    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards

    Pearson put out a tech note on this today - the new versions of Java are what's causing the problem. If you can use Time Machine to rollback java prior to a java 7 or 1.6.0_37 version that will get you going again. I've been searching for hours for a place to download the older version but it seems Apple's site and Oracle all only have the latest release. Still trying to see if I have a copy downloaded on a system that hasn;t been updated to copy off to a network drive or usb and install the older version on to systems.
    PowerSchool Tech Notes
    PowerTeacher Gradebook and recent Mac OS X Java update
    An update to Java for Mac OS X was released on October 16, 2012. An issue has been identified with this Java update (Java for OS X 2012-006) which prevents teachers from launching PowerTeacher Gradebook.
    Teachers using PowerTeacher Gradebook should avoid taking this Java update to version 1.6.0_37 until notified that PowerTeacher Gradebook has been certified with this latest version of Java 1.6 for Mac OS X. PowerTeacher Gradebook will continue to work on Mac OS X workstations with Java version 1.6.0_35.
      Additional communication will be provided once a workaround is identified or an updated version of PowerTeacher Gradebook is available.
