Has anyone successfully gotten their upgrade dates moved up ?

I see people saying they did, but I think they may be lying. I figured if I could get some answers, it would be worth a try. If you did, how'd you do it?

How far are you wanting it moved up? Weeks? Months?
Well, we accomplished this in several steps. 1st - DH requested a date change from March 30 to February 3. He was told no, but that they would move it to February 9. They were worried they would not have enough IPhones for the Verizon customers who were already due for an upgrade. Dh went around and around with them, spoke to supervisors and could not get the date moved any further. He waited a few days and called again. Still no luck. Well, I decided to take matters into my own hands and sent a very nice email to customer service telling them that I had been a loyal customer for 15 years and had waited 4 years for Verizon to get the IPhone and that I would really love to get one, blah blah blah. Basicaly, a sob story with a lot of begging. Low and behold, 12 hours later, I had a very nice response letting me know that my upgrade date was moved up to February 3. But, I chose to wait until the 10th so I could get it activated in the store and in my hands should there be any issues.
So, if you have been told no, keep trying. If still told no, try sending a very nice email requesting your date moved up. You can also ask in the store. They have the same authority to move dates up.
If you have more than a couple of month tho, I am not sure if you will have any success.

Has anyone successfully reset their Skype account ...

I've posted on this before, but none of you good people have shared your thoughts on this. Unfortunately, Skype Customer Service don't appear to have a "standard response" e-mail template to address my problem.
Nine days after I first reported that my Skype account has been hacked I am still going round in circles, with "standard response" e-mails from the Skype Customer Support people asking me to do something which I have already tried but which was not the correct thing to do to reset my Skype Account password.
My Skype Account password has been changed by a hacker.
My Microsoft Account, which is linked to Skype, has not been hacked and the password has been changed (three times in a week ..... see below).
I need to change only my Skype account password but the password reset links take me through to Microsoft and I end up changing my Microsoft account password. This does not resolve the Skype Account Password situation.
Has anyone successfully reset their unknown or forgotten password from a Skype account which has been linked to their Microsoft account?
Does anyone know whether Skype themselves can unlink a Skype Account from a Microsoft Account? Unfortunately I can only do it with the password I do not have!!! I feel that this could be one way of changing my password without being redirected to the Microsft Account Password Reset option.

Well, it's me again. However, I now have a new name on the Community Forum as I have had to re-register as I no longer seem to exist.
I contacted Skype Customer Support via their web chat service and the operator unlinked my Skype Account (which, if you've read any other posts from my original name alison01326) you will recall was hacked and I was unable to make a change to the password as I kept getting through to the Microsoft account password change which was not the password that needed changing.
I would have said, that if you need to unlink the two accounts, just ask. But now I am not so sure. My Skype Account (the one which was hacked, and still has someone else's password on it) has vanished, taking with it £10 of Skype Credit and the World Minutes which I receive monthly as part of Office 365.
I now have five or six different customer service references to quote, and not only can I not get my account verified (as my memory doesn't stretch back to when I first had a Skype account) I also appear to have lost £10 and a valuable "free" service.
Have been in tears over this as 11 days have passed since the hacking and nothing positive has been achieved. Does anyone else have the same experiences, and what was the outcome?

Has anyone successfully downloaded their Norton 360 online backup onto a new iMac?

My PC had a BSOD without warning and restoring efforts have failed. I've used the opportunity to move to a new iMac. Unfortunately, my backup is with Norton 360 online. Has anyone successfully migrated a norton backup file onto their iMac?

You will probably find most on here recommend you stay as far away from Norton software as possible with a Mac. The Norton Anti-virus software is the worst of the worst and does damage to the Mac OS X. Just be aware that you are likely to get recommendations to use the backup that comes with the Mac, Time Machine. Or make a clone of your drive with programs like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper.

Has anyone successfully gotten an HP Color Laserjet 2600n to print from OSX Lion?

I have it installed by IP address with the drivers that Apple Update provided. When I send a print job to it, the status shows that it's connected and printing and the little sideways barber pole is screwing away, but the job never prints. As a matter of fact, the printer never even starts its warm-up cycle. Has anyone gotten this printer to work on a bone stock OSX Lion 10.7 image? This iMAC 27 is brand-freakin-new.
I have absolutely no printing issues from any of the 5 (cringe) - Windows 7 machines in the house.
Thanks for looking. I hope to have some helpful response soon.

KJameZzZ179 and PAHU - I appreciate you guys taking the time out of your busy schedules to help me. I pinged the printer and it replied. I pulled up its web interface and the gateway and subnet settings matched the settings on my iMac. I opened a PDF and sent it to the printer successfully. I don't know what the hold up was, and while I am glad that I can print now, I am equally disappointed that I wasn't able to find the root of the problem so we could provide an answer to anyone else in the future that might have had the same problem. Thanks again for your responses and willingness to help.

HT2305 I'm always reading and hearing that the updates cause a lot of problems and people wish they hadn't updated, has anyone successfully updated their software?

I'm always reading and hearing that updating software causes problems with lost data, non communication between ipod/phone and computer. Has anyone sucessfully instyalled the latest update, I'm afraid to?

It will help people to advise you if you specify which update you are considering.

Has anyone NOT gotten their iPhone?

UPS just dropped mine off. I wanted to know if anyone who pre-ordered through AT&T or apple and went to their store and was unable to get one? Or it didn't get delievered today? The day isn't over yet but just wanted to know how smoothly the ordering online went?

I haven't received mine yet, and my feeling has quickly gone from worry to disappointment...
I preordered from the online Apple store soon after the WWDC announcement (Jun 8 @ 01:22 PM PDT to be precise, lol), and on Jun 9 I get an email from Apple stating "Due to a technical error, we communicated an incorrect delivery date. We want to assure you that your iPhone 3G S will deliver on June 19th." Ok..
A couple days ago I checked my order status, and it still listed as Prepared for Shipment with "Ships: Jun 19 / Delivers: Jun 24." So, I call their customer service number, and all the agent could do was confirm that it wasn't scheduled to ship out until today, the 19th.
As of this morning, the status is still Prepared for Shipment, no tracking number, no iPhone 3G S. Kind of a bummer when I likely could have preordered with my local Apple Store or AT&T and have been joining you and all the others right now in their new gadget glee.
Edit: The lead-in message to the customer service waiting queue reinforces that if you ordered before June xx (the date I can't remember, but I assume isn't relevant in my case since I ordered minutes after the keynote) that it should arrive today.. So I guess we'll see.

Has anyone successfully gotten Endnote X5 to work with Word 2011 on OS 10.7.5?

I just get the error in Word that Word can't fire the event. The Endnote toolbar does not show up in Word.

Endnote sys that X5 is not compatible with Mountain Lion due to a "bug" in the OS and suggests buying their "new" Endnote X6. They also offered two workarounds so far that have not worked saying that it is Apples responsibility to fix this "bug". Their support replied to me as follows:
Thank you for contacting Thomson Reuters Technical Support.
EndNote X5 is not officially compatible with Mac 10.8. The issue that you face is due to a known bug in Mac 10.8.2 update for Apple's Mountain Lion operating system.
If you would like to read a technical description of this underlying bug within Apple's 10.8.2 operating system update, the following blog post outlines the issue:
http://brian-webster.tumblr.com/post/32830692042/a-workaround-for-aesendmessage- hanging-on-os-x-10-8-2
For more information on EndNote’ compatibility please refer to the following link:
http://help.thomson.com/default.asp?portalid=TSCINT&article=113230
In order to work around this issue until the underlying problem is addressed by Apple, please follow the steps given below:
1. Open your Activity Monitor. Activity Monitor is found inside a folder called "Utilities", which is inside your "Applications" folder.
2. With the Activity Monitor running, choose "All Processes" from the "Show" drop-down and then sort the display by the "Process Name" column by clicking the column's label.
3. After sorting this list by Process Name, look for a process called 'appleeventsd'. If you are able to find the appleeventsd process, highlight this entry and click "Quit Process".
4. When you are prompted to confirm this action, press "Force Quit".
5. Once appleeventsd has been reset by the Force Quit selection, switch back to EndNote to see if you're still experiencing slowness.
6. Also try inserting citations in Word and see if you are getting any error message.
As you mentioned, EndNote X6.0.2 update was released to address this issue. Since you have EndNote X5 you will not be able to install this patch for a permanent fix on this. And since you already own a previous version of EndNote, you will be entitled for an upgrade version of EndNote X6. These upgrade versions are priced lesser than the full versions. For EndNote X4 and X5 users, they will be entitled for a 30% discount on this upgrade price considering this bug. If you wish to avail this offer, please visit:http://endnote.com/buy/online and use the coupon code: techup.
Please visit the following Knowledge Base article for more information:
http://help.thomson.com/default.asp?portalid=TSC&article=123873
If you wish to use EndNote X5 and if the tools are still missing in Word, please make sure that the Visual basic component for Microsoft Word 2011 is installed. Visual Basic is required for the use of EndNote X5 with Word 2011. If it is not installed, run a custom installation of Office 2011, selecting Visual Basic for Applications. This component of Office is mandatory for Cite While You Write tools to work.
If the issue continues, it possible that the issue can happen if the Word documents Gallery is set to open. Please check to make sure this option is not checked in Word.
1) In Word, go to the Word menu / Preferences / General.
2) Uncheck the option labeled Open Word Documents Gallery when application opens.
3) Press OK.
4) Quit Word by going to Word menu / Quit Word.
5) Open EndNote with your library.
6) Open Word.
This will get the EndNote toolbar appearing in Word. If the issue continues, it is possible that the EndNote Cite While You Write add-ins might be disabled in Word. Please follow the below steps to re-enable the tools as follows:
a. Open a Word document.
b. Go to "Tools > Templates and Add-Ins".
c. You should see the below EndNote files listed under "Global Templates and Add-ins"
EndNote CWYW Commands.dot
EndNote CWYW Word 2011.bundle
d. If any of these file(s) are unchecked, check it, and click OK.
If the above files are not listed in "Global Templates and Add-ins", then I would recommend you to follow the steps given to check the Word Startup folder and set that in the Customizer:
1. In Word, click the Word menu next to the apple and choose Preferences.
2. Click File Locations.
3. Click on Startup and then click Modify.
4. Browse to Applications---Microsoft Office 2011---Office---Startup---Word. Click Choose. (Please note: For non English version of Word, the name of the Startup folder may be different. Please choose your closest language equivalent in this location).
5. Click OK on the Preferences window.
6. Close Word.
7. Open EndNote and your library.
8. Click on the EndNote menu next to the apple.
9. Choose Customizer.
10. Check the option for Cite While You Write. Click Next.
11. Click Next and the process should complete----click “Done”.
If the tools are still not present in the Tools menu of Word, please close Word then copy and paste the EndNote CWYW Word 2011.bundle file into your Word startup folder:
Bundle file: Applications | EndNote X5 | Cite While You Write | EndNote CWYW Word 2011.bundle

Has anyone actually gotten the 2.2 Software Upgrade to work?

I know there are numerous threads about the 2.2 Software Upgrade and how it's not working.
Has anyone actually gotten it to work??
If you have, please reply with what you did to make it work, how long it took you, etc..
Thanks in advance!

Thank you, Thank you Henry1---I hit update, unplugged my iPod-touch,and whala!! the update downloaded to my itunes account. I did have to pay when I had first bought it thru itunes- I tried updating, and syncing several times in the past week or two without success. While my ipod was unplugged I also reset my network settings on the ipod under the settings, general, reset menus before I plugged it back in. When I plugged it back in I had to hit update again to download it to the ipod and then sync to get any applications/games to go on to the ipod. Thanks again Henry1--we were racking our brains trying to figure out if we had the "right network settings" on the computer and/or the computer.

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Has anyone successfully used the Intuit Quicken compatible with Lion upgrade for investment tracking?

Although I gave up investment tracking for personal reasons (I had used Quicken Deluxe 2002 for many years for that reason), my understanding is that the new Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion is completely the same feature wise as Quicken 2007 for PPC. It will run on Snow Leopard, too.
For $15, why not download it and just try it and LET US KNOW!

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive?

Has anyone successfully used a "WD My Book for Mac" via NAS (plugged into USB port on router) as a Time Machine back-up drive? Apple support tech tried to tell me it wasn't possible and that the only NAS Time Machine could back up to is the Time Capsule, but I'm not buying it. I know it's doable, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which External HDDs will work and which ones won't. If not My Book for Mac, is there an External HDD that will work? (Running OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks, btw...)

Given the nature of backups, my recommendation has always been to use a strategy that is unequivocally supported by Apple. As you already determined Apple Support unequivocally informed you that your proposal will not work, unless your router is an Apple AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.
The exhaustive list of devices supported by Time Machine amounts to the following:
AirPort Time Capsule's built-in hard disk (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to a Time Capsule (any model)
External USB hard disk drive connected to an AirPort Extreme (current model only)
A hard disk drive directly connected to your Mac
That is all.
Use whatever backup device you want, but you should be aware that this site is full of reports of misery from hapless individuals who had been using NAS devices for Time Machine backups, only to find that they were incomplete, corrupted, or useless when they were required. Apple won't care if you lose your data while using a Time Machine configuration specifically excluded from their technical support documents.

Has anyone had issues with Administration\Data Import/Export\Data Import???

Has anyone had issues with Administration\Data Import/Export\Data Import???
I have a client who has recently upgraded from V2007 to V8.81. They were succesfuly using this standard function to import supplier prices to their master price list, but now it has failed?
I have looked at the file they are importing and it appears to be fine.
On closer inspection, it did contain approx 46,000 entries, so I took the first 1,000 and created a test file, which imported fine.
The only issue I found was Speed, with the test file of 1,000 records taking about 30 Mins to import. This appeared to get slower and slower the further through the file it got!
Based on this, I have estimated that the whole file would takle about 13 hours to import. The client say that when they used to run it on version 2007 it was far quicker?
In practice, it does appear to run, but the speed is the issue. Having said this, I set the whole file to run last night (over night)and this morning it had appeared to hang after about 2,307 rows, with nothing else being updated.
Has anyone any ideas or is aware of performance issues like this?
Thanks,
Ian

Always an option, but would you give your clients access to this tool?
Not sure really.
I have uploaded a copy of their database onto my test system and run the same routine. Its equally as SLOW
I can't gauage if its an issue with 8.81 that 2007 didn't have, as I only have the client's word on it, however I have no reason to disbelieve them.
Kind regards,
Ian

Has anyone successfully managed to get VZW to raplace Fascinate with a different phone?

Has anyone successfully managed to get VZW to raplace Fascinate with a different phone?
If so, could you share with me on how you convinced VZW to do it?(which department?)
I love my Fascinate, but not when it can't get calls. I would prefer to have a Fascinate with
zero problems, but that appears unlikely. So I guess my best option is to get a different
phone(Samsung, Motorola, or others)
Thanks!

I successfully got a swap out of my Fascinate with a Droid Incredible 2.
I private messaged VZW agents on these forums the following message and through the course of 3-5 days I successfully was granted an expception and allowed to swap out my device (with no contract extension or upgrade eligiblity extenstion). This was after several phone calls and numberous wasted hours trying to convince them the Fascinate was not a good phone.
If I have been rude in any way during this message, I sincerely apologize, I did not mean it. I am a frsutrated owner of a bad piece of electronics. I am aware it is not VZW's fault, but I think you need to stand beind the phones you sell and rectify situations that are bad.
I am a Samsung Fascinate owner and to say the least this phone has been the biggest source of frustration I have ever had to endur in the 20+ years I have owned a cellular phone.
The have been number rous issues with my original phone and the replacement (certified replacement) phone I have gotten. These issues include, but are not limited to:
1. glitchy UI
2. constant forecloses and freezes
3 auto reboots
4. inoperable phone for 20 - 30 minutes at a time. Can't access apps, can't make calls, can't send texts, phone is useless to me.
5. not receiving calls/texts
6. missing voicemails
7. increased battery drain
8. random flickering of screen lights while using the phone.
Now I have performed the following steps at the suggestion of VZW tech support on both my orginal phone an replacement phone
1. Hard resets, factory resets
2. Soft resets,
3. Clear cache on the phone
4. Removing apps
5. Updating roaming capabilities
After all these issues and all the suggestion on fixes, the phone still performs poorly and is not a reliable phone at all. Like I stated previously i am beyond frustrated.
I am aware these problems are software issues not a hardware issue; a refurbed Fascinate will not correct them. Hard resets do not fix the problems. I have scoured the message boards on this website (VZW forums) and I am aware the VERIZON is aware of all these issues with multiple Fascinate users.
I am asking to be allowed to swap my Fascinate for another, DIFFERENT model of phone. I am fine if that is a refurb, as long as it is a DIFFERENT model of phone and not a Fascinate. I know this is possible because users on your very own forum are stating it has been done. I am asking it be done in my case
Best thing I can say is stick to it....sitck to you guns and don't back down and don't be allowed to think there is afix when there is not.

Has anyone successfully printed on Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530DL on Mac OS X 10.9

Has anyone successfully printed on the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530DL after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.9?
Also has anyone successfully printed on the Epson EPL-5700i after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.9?

I realize that most people tend to visit the forums to report problems rather than visit the forums to report successes after an upgrade. And I appreciate John Blanchard1's taking the time to reply to my posting.
Dakoda mentions problems printing to a Konica Minolta C280 and the thread that John Blanchard1 posted refers to problems printing to both Konica Minolta BizHubs (C652 & 501).
However, the existence of these problems with other KM printer models does not let me know if anyone has been successful printing to the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530DL after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.9 or even if anyone has had a problem with printing to the 2530DL after upgrading to 10.9.
On October 28, 2013, a Konica Minolta technical support agent told me -- after checking with his supervisor -- that regarding the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2530DL that they will not be upgrading the 2530DL printer driver. In fact they have not upgraded the driver since 10.6. I learned on their support site that the 10.6 driver has continued to work with 10.7 and 10.8. They have not yet updated their support site for compatibility of their line of printers with 10.9.
So I would like to find evidence that this printer has continued to work for someone after the upgrade to 10.9 rather than upgrade and then have to downgrade to still be able to use this printer.

Has anyone successfully got a refund on graphics card fault

My Mac Mini (mid 2011) purchases in February 2012 has died. The graphics chip has gone and the display is some funky colours at boot before it crashes and reboots. I'm unable to login at all, even via safe mode.
It's almost 3 years old to the day and i'm covered by UK law for 6 years. But has anyone successfully got a refund or replacement?
I'm concerned they might want to take it in to test and try to repair it, but presumably that would mean an entirely new motherboard and i can't be without a Mac (my main computer) for so long. Do they even make / have in stock Mid 2011 Mac Minis anyway? I'd guess not.
Should i go ahead and buy a new one with the reassurance i'd get some money back?
I've made no alterations to the mac other than to upgrade the ram from 4GB to 8GB.
thanks

Apple never mad a promise to replace the Mac. Only to fix your OR replace at Apple's option.
Contact Apple and discuss it with them
