Getting "grandfathered" into $30 unlimited LTE with Thunderbolt

From everywhere I've read, it sounds plain that Verizon will be switching to a (most likely more expensive) tiered data plan some time this summer. There are many sources for this, but the most obvious was the following comment made by Verizon CFO Fran Shammo earlier this month, while discussing the $30 unlimited plan for iPhones:
"Everyone knows that isn't long-term," he added. "We will move to tiered pricing in the mid-summer time frame."
Assuming this is true, it makes the current offer of $30 unlimited LTE with a new contract and Thunderbolt very very appealing. If i were to go ahead and sign up for that, which of the following situations would I be in?
1. $30 unlimited LTE until Verizon launches new tiered plans this summer, then I'll be forced to pay more or exit my contract without an ETF
2. $30 unlimited LTE for as long as I use my Thunderbolt. As soon as I want to get a new phone, on contract or off, I'll be forced to switch to a tiered plan.
3. $30 unlimited LTE until I sign a new contract. That is, I could then purchase LTE phones off-contract (full retail), and Verizon will let me activate them without switching to a tiered plan. Theoretically I could do this forever.
I know there's a lot of speculation involved here, but anyone have any idea? If (3) is the case, it makes significant financial sense to get a Thunderbolt, rather than waiting for the more capable Bionic/Revolution which won't be out until the summer.
Thoughts?

Honestly, any answer that anyone gives you is pure speculation. I agree that it could play out as mdram suggests, but keep in mind that Verizon allowed people to stay grandfathered in on the 3G modem side of things (my boss has been able to keep his unlimited 3G plan despite upgrading to modems after the unlimited option was taken away), so there is precedent. We'll just have to wait until mid-summer to see where the chips fall.
I know that's not terribly helpful, and it can be paralyzing to consider changing hardware, changing software and changing pricing structures when you chose to upgrade you phone, but just try to keep in mind that no matter what you get, you're stuck with it for 20 months (unless you decide to pay full retail). If you feel that the $50/mo for a 5GB LTE plan (which is the lowest they have on their 4G modems at the moment) is less cost effective over the next 20 months (duh) than going for the Thunderbolt or any of the other phones that will be released in time to take advantage of the unlimited LTE data plan, then I wouldn't sweat it and I'd just get the new phone and be happy with the 'discount' for however long the benevolent Verizon so kindly allows me to receive it.

Getting PDF into iBooks from Mail with IOS 7?

OK, on my iPad 3......pre IOS 7, someone coud emal me a PDF and I would click it in Mail and it would give me the "OPTION" to view or open in iBooks. Because I wanted it in iBooks, I would click that and all was good.
NOW with IOS 7.....I get this "Preview" of the PDF.....when I click it, I get "Save Image" or "Copy".
If I click Save Image, it puts something in my Camera Roll that I cannot even see? If I hit Copy, I guess it's on the Clipboard...but I still cannot get it into iBooks.
HOW DO I GET A PDF that was emailed to me from Mail to iBooks using IOS 7????
Thanks for your help.
Yours,
Kirk

lizdance40:
OK...here is what it is.......
I open a WORD Document on my Mac using MS Word 2008 for Mac Version 12.3.6 (130206) Latest Installed Update: 12.3.6.
I then click SAVE AS: and I choose PDF.
I then email that PDF to myself via standard Mac Mail...and recieve it in my iPad via standard Mail.
It shows up as a photo....I click on it in MAIL on my iPad and I only have the OPTION to "Save Image"...and that puts it in the Camera Roll...but not as a PDF or....COPY....and I can't do anything with that.
NEXT....I tried it this way.
I open the document in MS WORD....click PRINT...then PDF from my MAC....and save it as a PDF.....do that same thing above...and I get the same results.
So...it is NOT a photo...it is a MS WORD Document.....I have tried this not only on my iPAD but also on an iPHONE 5 running IOS7 and get the same results.
HOW DO I FIX THIS?????
AS INFO.........
If I SAVE the PDF to something like Dropbox....then got to Dropbox on my iPad or phone...then click it I have the option to put it in iBooks...and it works perfectly.......
So...the "ISSUE" to me is not with the PDF....as it does work when saved that way...the issue is with IOS7 and how it views a PDF in Mail.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?????

How do I get images into the "images" folder with Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi,
I've been following the tutorial by Christopher Heng, on chapter 2, adding images. "Look at the right panel of the web editor. You should see at least two major sections: the top section has a tab entitled "INSERT", and the bottom section has a tab labelled "FILES""...
I don't see the tab "Insert", but do see "Files" and have created a folder in there called "Images", as Mr. Heng explained.
The next step sounds easy enough - copy your image files into the images folder. But for the life of me I can't seem to do this. Can someone PLEASE help me out?
Thank you - Louise

Do you mean you can't get your images into the images folder of your site?
Open the folder with your images in it on the desktop,
not inside dreamweaver,
and open the folder you want to put the images on your desktop too,
so both folders are open,
right click the image, copy and paste it to your website images folder
or double-click the image and drag it across into the website images folder.
You could also open the image in your image editing software and 'save as'
then browse to your website images folder and save there.

After downloading OSX Mavericks, my AOL mailbox has disappeared and all the AOL messages get dumped into the inbox along with the gmail messages. How can I get the AOL mailbox back?

After downloading OSX Mavericks, my AOL mailbox has disappeared and all AOL messages have been lumped in the inbox along with my gmail messages. What do I have to do to get my AOL mailbox back?

Linking AOL and gmail? I don't know what that means. But if it means what I think it does - that you have the AOL and gmail servers chatting directly with each other through some configuration, I'd definitely disable that.
In general, the messages either aren't deleted, or aren't correctly deleted, or there's a protocol or network error, or some sort of a mail server error.
First diagnostic is a mailbox repair. Mail.app > Mailbox > Rebuild
Then verify that the credentials are correct and the connection is reliable:
Mail.app > Window > Connection Doctor
And yes, if you have gmail and AOL chatting directly with each other, undo that.

Locked out with file vault. Did fix by setting up new user account but cannot access old account with files but I can't get back into my old account with all my doc's and pics

I was locked out by File Vault. I set up a new account by fooling the notebook it was a new start up. Now I cannot access my old account with all of my files. I can see it in Accounts but it will not let me access. Help

I managed to get a few Time Machine Back Ups before I passed away
I'm not sure whether a ghost can do this, but if you were still alive, you could do as follows.
First make sure you have read & write access to the folder you're trying to restore to. You should be able to see its contents in the Finder, and to move files in and out of it.
This is an exception to the rule that you should never make any changes to backup data. I've tested this procedure in OS X 10.8 only. It should work with later versions, but I don't know whether it works in earlier versions. Use it only for files that were backed up from your home folder, or a folder on another volume created by you, and would normally be writable by you. Do not touch backups of system or application files.
In the Finder (not in the time-travel view), navigate to the backup volume, then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb", and then to the snapshot you want to restore from. The snapshots are folders labeled with the date when they were created. Inside each of those folders is a file hierarchy like the one on the volume that was backed up. Descend through the hierarchy until you come to a folder named "Users," and inside that, a folder with your user name. The procedure will be different if you're trying to restore files on another volume.
Select the folder and open the Info dialog (command-I). Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and authenticate. In the Sharing & Permissions section, give your account Read & Write access. You may have to close the dialog and repeat this step in order for the change to show up. Then click the gear icon and select
Apply to Enclosed Items
from the popup menu.
Try the restore operation again, in the time-travel interface.

Does any one know of any devices I can use to get audio into my macbook pro with retina display? PLEASE Help!!!!

Is there a way to take my address's I typed into Pages and get them into my address book?

I have over 200 address's typed into pages. Is there a way to get them into my address book with out copying a pasting each one individually??

Per http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4648
Address Book can import contact information that you save or export from other applications in vCard, LDAP Interchange Format (LDIF), tab-delimited, and comma-separated value (CSV) formats.
You can export addresses in vCard format from Entourage, Outlook, and others, and in LDIF format from Thunderbird, for example. You can export text files in tab-delimited or CSV format from spreadsheet applications, such as Numbers.

Can't paste copied entries from online CSV file into Excel spreadsheet (chatted with zzxc on 5/3/10 at around 2.30 CST but got disconnected. did not get an answer ...)

Here is the transcript of a chat with Firefox community member zzxcon May 3/10
You are now chatting with Firefox community member zzxc
zzxc: Hello
zzxc: What happens when you attempt to download a .csv file?
seegal: hello
seegal: it doesn't copy
zzxc: how are you trying to copy?
seegal: pls bear with me I'm a slow typist. Just copy selected text
Biolizard has joined the conversation.
zzxc: ok - which text are you selecting?
seegal: I reconcile my checkbook (spreadsheet this way). I copy the items in my online bank acc and paste it to the spreadsheet
seegal: I'm using Firefox /2.0.0.19. Have no problem to do this.
zzxc: Which version of OS X?
seegal: In all newer version nothing happens when trying to paste- just doesn't paste
zzxc: Firefox 2.0.0.x is no longer supported, and hasn't been supported in over a year
zzxc: Paste into Excel, from Firefox?
seegal: Sorry, I'm ahead... /2.0.0.19
seegal: Yes. I open my bank acc in Firefox
zzxc: Which version of Excel?
zzxc: It would really help if you could tell me step by step what you're doing.
seegal: First re: your previous question: it's OS 10.4.11
seegal: About Excell: it'as 2004 version - the lasat one produced for Macs. The specific version is 11.3.7
seegal: So I open my bank acc online in Firfox (my primary browser). I copy the latest entry in the account and paste it into my Excel spreadsheet.
zzxc: so, you copy direct from the web page without downloading a CSV file?
seegal: What do you mean by downloading to CSV file? I could export from the https://chat-support.mozilla.com:9091/webchat/getimage?image=sendmessage&workgroup=support%40workgroup.chat-support.mozilla.comFirefox to the CSV file, but the other way around?
zzxc: Are you copying your bank statement directly from the web site to Excel using the clipboard?
seegal: sI don't use the clipboard. This is a mac. There is no need to do that. In PC it would be yes.
zzxc: I need to know the exact steps you're taking to get them into excel
zzxc: And I need to know what exactly goes wrong in the latest version of Firefox.
seegal: Do you have a mac there with Firefox and Excel? It would be very easy to reproduce. Imagine you open an online bank acc, select some entries , click "copy", than proceed to your already open Excel spreadsheet and click' paste". That's it!
zzxc: When this happens, do you get cryptic code pasted into Excel?
seegal: As I said before: in all newer versions starting with 3.0 when I go to Excel to "paste" from my bank acc nothing happens. It does not paste. No, I don't get a cryptic code pasted, just NOTHING.
zzxc: what if you paste into MS Word instead?
seegal: haven't tried that, the formatting most likely would be lost. Tried that with an other Exc el spreadsheet- it lost all the formating and pasted as continous text.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Pls. see copy of the chat above. THIS A MAC OS X. In older versions, prior to 3.0 I could copy from CSV file on the website Ibank acc) and paste directly to my Excel spreadheet to reconcile my account.

I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the <pick a username> screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists.Only one account per email address is allowed on the Apple Support Communities" despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

This problem has been driving me demented. The instructions that Ivan gives have partially worked for me. By following his link
"How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs" I was able to identify that yes I did have two apple accounts using the same e mail address. One was very old that I used to use for the forum boards and one is my much more recent ID that I use for everything these days. So I changed the e mail address for the old account which is associated with these discussion boards and that's the account that I am now posting this from. However even though the two accounts now have different e mail addresses when I try to log onto the boards with my more recent main apple ID I still get all the same errors as described at the start of this thread by rodgers_j. And of course that's the one I want to use so that I only have one itunes account for everything.
So if anyone has any more hints I'd be very grateful.

- Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then try to factory settings/new iPod to rule out a software problem.
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and broken or cracked plastic.
- Could you have damaged something when you took the iPod apart and replaced the Home button?
