Help needed.Two months later!

Hi.
Safari crashes, and Explorer crashes as soon as i launch them. i don't friggin know why.
I've had this problem for about two months, and came here at first. i tried all the solutions i could find, none of them worked. i was wondering if there is any solution which has been found in the meantime..
basically, i started up a new login name, and it works under that, but i'd like my old login itunes library, movies, etc.
Please send me any solutions that you know of, i'd appreciate it so much.

Hello Domhnall:
First, forget troubleshooting IE. Microsoft has dropped support for IE on a Mac almost two years ago.
Try this:
Trash the Safari preference file (com.apple.safari.plist). Restart your computer and reenter your personal preferences. Occasionally a corrupt preference file can cause problems.
Permissions are probably not the cause, but running permission repair cannot hurt.
Run repair disk from your software install DVD.
If you have tried all of these, an archive and install would probably be the next step.

  • Top of the line TV $1500 cheaper less than two months later

    Hi,
    I recently, April 11, bought a brand new top of the line (from what I was told by the sales associates) TV with the latest technology for $5000.00. I looked on the website today as I was shopping for a different item and saw that it was on sale for $3500. I realize that part of electronics is the in with the new brings prices down but that figure less than two months later is astronomical. It's nearly 1/3 off.  I may be naive, but I never would have bought the top of the line had I known that it price would change so much.
    I called the rewards hotline (I'm an elite member) and they let me know that I could talk to the store manager because 15 days had passed and they had the final call. I went in and the manager basically told me the best he could do was offer me 50% off  laptop accessories. Not exactly what I was looking for.
    I am extremely dissapointed. Again, I realize that prices of electronics change but $1500 in less than two months is crazy to me. I learned a lesson but was hoping that someone could help me out.
    I would be willing to put any money I receive back right back to Best Buy for a new laptop ect...or at least a discount on that laptop. Otherwise I will have to go elsewhere
    I have been a loyal customer for many years (my family as well) and I think this would definitely change the opinion of the company/ I was told that I could talk to a manager who could help me out but then went in and found out that he could lose his job if he helped me. Quite confusing. 
    Thank you

    Hello jyg24,
    As a TV show binge watcher, I know I’d be ecstatic to purchase a TV like yours. I can imagine the quality of picture alone would be amazing, so I’m disappointed to hear you’re ultimately disappointed with the purchase after discovering such a dramatic price drop outside of your Return and Exchange Promise.  I’m always on the lookout for the best price possible for all my purchases, so it’s completely understandable why you would wish to have this price honored on your TV.
    Regrettably, please know we’d be unable to honor any price adjustment request outside of your extended 30-day return and exchange period as an Elite My Best Buy customer. 
    Respectfully,
    Alex|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • Two months late and cancelling?

    We have a family share plan. One main line with one additional line. We are currently two months behind but we want to cancel our service anyway. Our "main line" contract ends 10/30 but our "additional line" doesn't end until 04/2012. We can't pay the two months so we can cancel by the 30th because I won't get paid until the 31st. Will Verizon renew our contract for another 2 years if we don't cancel by the 30th even though we don't want it anymore? Will we have to pay an ETF for the "additional line" when we do cancel? Thanks in advance.

    No Verizon will not auto renew your contract, but you will be on a month to month basis.  You will have to pay a termination fee for any line that is still under contract.  That will depend on what phone you had when you started the contract.
    For feature, and basic phones it's $175 -5(per month after the first month)
    For smartphones it's $350-10(per month after the first month)

  • I have always been able to email photos (although ONE AT A TIME), but since apple replaced my dead IPad2 no one is receiving my photos.  I just found out two months later!  How can I fix this?

    Since apple replaced my dead IPad2 I can not email photos.  I didn't know that no one was receiving them until today.  How can I fix this?

    I don't understand the ONE AT A TIME lament, as it's pretty easy to email more than one at a time. Have you tried to and been unable or didn't know that you could?
    As for no one receiving, well .... first, review how you're trying to do it and, as a check, email some to yourself. That will be a good first check.

  • BOGO on phones released two months earlier, way to screw valued customers...

    I am sure that I am not alone in the fact that I purchased two Droid's X2 phones following their release on May 30th, 2011 only to discover that TWO months later they have Buy one Get one FREE.  Thank you Verizon for telling all your customers to wait 42 days (18 day price protection would put it at 2 months) to receive a free phone with your purchase of a new release.  Might want to tell your marketing sector to re-evaluate their decisions to offer a deal like this when you have valued customers that paid full price less than 60 days prior.  I was three days out of the price protection plan, I am curious to hear about others that lost out on a sales representative telling them that there would not be a deal like BOGO for quite a while...

    they always do this
    its one reason i never buy a phone at release
    price drops in a month or 2, and bogo's pop up
    and its not just phones, its anything
    when its fresh it costs more.  fact of life

  • For two months, Telstra have failed to help me. What should I do?

    Hello everyone. I feel as though I need to inform people about this and get some advice on what to do. I've been trying to resolve it with Telstra for months but they really aren't interested. Here's what's happened: Our household wants to upgrade from our ADSL2+ to Cable internet. The NBN is not yet available in our area, so Cable was the next step. Currently, Telstra is the only ISP that is able to service my address with Cable internet (Optus, for example, cannot). So, I called Telstra at the beginning of May, and we set to order the 500GB cable internet month to month plan with the Super speed boost. And, after preparing it, they said the next Monday (it was Saturday) they would send someone out to connect it. So, the serviceman arrives at my household, and there is a problem: The Cable is on the other side of the street, and as a result, he would need 14 days to work out what needs to be done. Of course, I would assume my household is not the only house in Australia where the cable is on the other side of the street (not a main road, no road markings), so after 14 days had past and there was no contact with us, we wondered what the problem was. We called Telstra, and after waiting 20 minutes to be connected to their technical team, we were finally informed that the process had started that would require a team to come to our street and install the Cable correctly so that it could connect to our house. At this point, we were happy, as at least we felt there was progress. I mean, they could have called us to let us know, but it didn't matter at this stage. Anyway, they couldn't give a date, so they said to wait another 14 days, and 'within' that 14 days, the order should have completed. Well, 3 weeks passed, and nothing, once again, had happened. No contact, no calls, nothing. And, to top it off, none of the Telstra inquiry links that were sent to me, where I could "Call back" the person I had spoken to, ever worked. It would always say "this feature is unavailable". We called back again, and this time, they extended the waiting time that we had been told from 14 days to 25 days. That way, of course, they were still within the time frame. Ok, whatever, that was fine.... So, we called again when that time had finished. It had been, like, a month since we placed out order by this time. This time, the person I spoke to was like "Oh, yeah, it is outside the time now, taking into account the weekends and public holidays, your order should have finished 2 days ago at the max". So, they did something which was meant to alert their team that nothing had happened. Of course, I politely explained to them that this was disappointing, but there was nothing they could offer me. The lady simply informed me, after speaking with their team, that they had to wait for the 3rd party workmen to complete their service and connect the Cable to the household, and that the order would not complete until then. Of course I asked if they could give a date, but they could not. So I waited a couple of weeks once again, in fact, I actually travelled overseas for a week in that time... I had been waiting each day, hoping that I would see a Telstra Van or something start some work in our Street. But nothing... nothing as always.... At this stage, we were very annoyed. I called Telstra once again, and had to wait for 45 minutes just to connect to someone. Now, the person I spoke to this time was as helpful as he was doing what he could and asking the questions I wanted to ask. For 30 mins, he was trying to connect to another Telstra team, but he kept coming back to me saying "I'm so sorry, I'm still on hold, really really sorry" but that was fine. At least he was going to the effort to keep me informed. Anyway, I was so upset. I told him my story, how we had never gotten an answer, the only answer we got was "We're not sure when" and that we never got called back. According to him, he pushed for a better answer from the other Telstra team, butt hey wouldn't give him one. They kept telling him "It will be done once the 3rd party do their bit". Now, if Telstra are getting 3rd parties to do work for them, and those 3rd parties are not doing the work, I would have expected at the VERY LEAST, that Telstra would contact that third party and ask when it would be done, but they keep refusing to do it. In this same call, the helpful man told me he did anything and everything he could, and so, thanking him, I asked if I could speak to a manager. He escallated the problem, which apparrently placed a specific manager in charge of the problem, and I then spoke to that Manager. She gave me the same info, they could not give me an answer. However, he forwarded the problem to the complaints area, and told me I would be contacted within 24-48 hours... AND AFTER 2 WEEKS OF NO CONTACT FROM TELSTRA....... two weeks, AGAIN, they failed to call me back, and each time I double checked to make sure they had the right number, which they did - I rang again, and asked immediately to speak to a manager. Sigh... so, we waited in total for another 40 mins while this different manager called and talked, and... for nothing. She told me the same thing everyone else did: "We have no idea when it will be done. sorry." - she then, once again, 'forwarded' my complaint, and told me I would be contacted again within 24-48 hours. So, here I am. 2 months after placing an order, COMPLETELY in the dark. I have no idea if they will call me back, no idea what the hell is going to happen. How can Telstra think that this is an acceptable answer? "We cannot service till the 3rd party completes the work, sorry" And the sad thing is, no one else offers Cable at our address, The first thing I would have done is obviously go with someone else, but we cannot. To think, that Telstra cannot even contact the people that they, themselves, are contracting to do work for them, to get a lousy time frame. Do they care so little about us that they literally do not care to do anything? I cannot believe that over the past two months, the way we have been treated is not a 'one off', but a pattern of pathetic and disgusting care for existing consimers by Telstra (Yes, we already have multiple services with them). I am so worn out... I don't know what to do...

    It seems they actually called me back today, and this time when a complaint was lodged, they actually got back to me!. The complaint reference was: SR 1-513261789108 (Should that not work, my last INT reference emailed to me is as follows: INT 1-502560651827 [25 June] ) The issue is this, according to them: The 3rd party claims to have started work. There is 'no way' they can ascertain when the work will be finished. So in essence, no answer. No idea. No way of knowing. If I were to obtain the number or contact of the 3rd party, it would be great, as I would be able to contact them myself, and forward a complain to the ombudsman for their failure to communicate. Let's not forget here that a date was set, in which the order should have been completed, and according to the lady I spoke with today in the complaints section, it should have been finished in May... There's literally nothing else, according to them, they can do. Seems Telstra cannot control the 3rd parties that they, themselves contract, to do their work. I see how it is, Telstra itself is technically not to blame, as it is the 3rd party that must finish the work, however, Telstra needs to accept:1. The work not being finished remotely on time is NOT acceptable2. That the 3rd party refuse to give a date, which is NOT acceptable; and3. That Telstra's failure to get information from people they contact is NOT acceptable. I said to the lady today: "It could take months, couldn't it?" And she said "Well sir, I cannot give you a date". How sad... How very Sad. I am grateful to the moderator who answered this thread, and I really do hope you take a look at the complaint reference. The lady explained to me they cannot be kept open, so she said she was going to mark it as resolved. I mean, it isn't of course, but whatever. At least if you get access to the reference, you will see the pain, and absolute waste of time I have gone through over the past few months with Telstra. You won't be able to help, as even managers and escallations have lead to nothing, which is really sad; it is upsetting that the higher ups cannot provide you with the necessary tools you need to help the community effectively in situations like this. So, thank you for your genuine help and concern, even if, unfortunately, it won't be able to help me

  • HT201412 After ios7, My iphone4 has gone dead twice in a time frame of around two months...even though its not happening very often but a two month Old phone going dead just after a New update is not acceptable.probably ios7 still has sum bugs dat need to

    After ios7, My iphone4 has gone dead twice in a time frame of around two months...even though its not happening very often but a two month Old phone going dead just after a New update is not acceptable.probably ios7 still has sum bugs dat need to be fixed...Can this bug expected to be fixed in the next update...

    Hi 1283ar.
    Unfortunately, iOS 7 is too hard to push for the iPhone 4 and therefore has a lot of effects turned off to try to get it to run as smoothly as possible.
    However, it becomes better and better with each update coming but it's hard to do anything about the hardware on an already released phones.
    If you still have trouble or think they are too hard. My tip is, if so, to restore your iPhone 4 and make a clean setup with no iCloud backup. But all your photos in a photostream so you can access it later.

  • My iphone 5s Bluetooth no longer works in my 2014 honda accord, ever since i updated the software two months ago. Can anyone help?

    My iphone 5s Bluetooth no longer works in my 2014 honda accord, ever since i updated the software two months ago. Can anyone help?

    Problems with Bluetooth connections are generally traced back to the vehicle. If you search here in the forum you will find a number of posts with issues connecting with Honda vehicles. Try removing the phone from the vehicle's list of Bluetooth devices. Then try removing the vehicle from the iPhone's list of Bluetooth devices. Then place both devices back in discovery/pairing mode and try to connect them. You may need to take the device to the dealer to check for software updates.
    Next, I understand it used to connect, however software updates for the iPhone will load the latest Bluetooth stack into the phone and vehicles do not always get updated as often. You can also check this support document for frequently asked questions and the other for additional troubleshooting instructions.   Wireless input devices: Bluetooth frequently asked questions  iOS: Third-party Bluetooth accessories

    In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified.  To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
