Home Phone Service via Verizon Wireless needs some SERIOUS rethinking!

Has anyone else signed up for home phone service over Verizon Wireless?
Here in LA, they offered a $19.99/month deal using the wireless service - a box provides the service, and you plug your home phone in. The service is adequate, but somebody forgot to think about how home phones work. I tried to get my billing set up through my bank, and after getting no notice for three weeks, I got a message in my email box that my bill was delinquent, and I owed a late fee. I had tried to set up the billing via My Verizon, but could never get a password to work. I finally got a phone number to call, and they sent me a new password via text message - to a home phone with no text capabilities. After hearing and seeing nothing for another two weeks, I called again, and they told me they'd sent the message. I had to remind them that this was a home phone - no texts. So they offered to send me a letter with a new password, within 7-10 ten days. It arrived two weeks later, and didn't work. Each of these phone calls took about an hour, and I still didn't have a connection.
I put the bills (now up to two delinquent cycles) on my credit card, just to bring thins current, and got one more password. This time I called BEFORE trying it, and with the assistance of a more determined tech, got an ID and password combination to work. I can now see my bill. I still don't know if the autopay will work, and I have no idea if there's any way to get a notice that the bill wasn't paid.
I cancelled my AT&T service because of its cost, but at least its billing worked. Verizon has some serious rethinking to do about how it's billing system works for home users. And they didn't lock me into billing hell for two years.
The topper is, today, I got a notice from Verizon that I've been delinquent in returning a refurbished instrument I never received, billed to a phone number I don't have. And of course there's no phone number to call to straighten it out.

Hello KeyGroupGJ!

Java is not supported on iPads. Does your provider have a non-Java version or have their own app, or could you use the Mail or a third-party email app for it ?

My phone keeps yelling "Verizon Wireless"

Community,
My phone keeps yelling "Verizon Wireless" I have the media volume turned all the way down and it turns itself up and does this two or three times in a row. I cannot figure it out and it is embarrassing at work. Can you help?

I had to comment...
As many times as I've seen this topic addressed, I've never seen it described as "yelling".

No home phone service for more than two months

I am sending this note on behalf of my mother. She has been waiting for technical services to her home phone for more than two months. She has received dates where a technician would come out to repair her services in which she has left work early or stayed home on weekends no avail. My mom is not in best health and has a child with disabilities living in the home and it is imperative that her services are working. It is frustrating to her to pay for a service she's not receiving. This is the worst customer service experience from Verizon.
I am asking for immediate resolve to this issue and to work with us to assure payment for time where phone has not worked Will not be charged to her account. Please contact me {edited for privacy}.

Poor customer service from Verizon wireless

I suspended one of the telephone numbers on my account in June, I was not told at the time in 90 days I would begin to be charged again for that telephone line $9.99 plus surcharges. Unknown to me I have been paying for over 3 months a line charge for a cell phone I no longer have, for a phone number I no longer use. I called customer loyalty tonight, if you can call it that,
and was told the line charge and the surcharge is for saving the telephone number. This is for a line I no longer use that does not as of today have a cell phone for. They would not offer me any credit on that phone line even though they admit it is not in service. I have been a cellular customer with VERIZON for over 10 years where is my loyalty? I will tell you where it will be with SPRINT when my contract expires. I am a small business owner and I have credited customers who had a legitimate complaint to keep their business. I am surprised for the small amount of credit Verizon would be willing to lose another customer.

When I place or receive a call, my phone plays a "Verizon Wireless" announcement. How can I suppress this? Thanks

Is there a prompt to activate visual voicemail once I switched services from Verizon Wireless to Verizon Pre-Paid Services?

I recently transferred from my verizon wireless account over to verizon prepaid; my iPhone 4 will only allow me to extract voice mail by dialing in *86 and my visual voicemail is not functioning. The message I get is from the phone voicemail greeting screen setup is " Voicemail Unavailable could not authorize access" . Is there a fix for this? please help.

Just got off the phone with Verizon. Voicemail indication and access to your voice from the Phone app is now restricted. There is no Voicemail directly from you iPhone for Verizon pre-paid.
If you can not get to your Verizon Voicemail hit *228 and respond with a 1 and let the message say your phone has been setup.

BdAqua, anyone.. I need some SERIOUS advise here..

For many of you I have been on these forums for quite sometime and now I am in need of SERIOUS advice. With the acquisition of a Power Mac G5 Quad taking over most of my everyday activities which I do on my mac pro, I am in desperate need of trying to figure out how I can get the best out of my 2009 mac pro of which I worked so hard in making it a 6-core 2010 machine.. Now I am thinking I might have gone overboard, way overboard as I am not making use of the machine and its fullest potential. I don't have really a lot of income coming in right now as I am unemployed, though I am getting a pension and unemployment, but not enough to buy serious applications for taking advantage of the power in my mac pro.
Can someone advise on how I can get the best out of my 6-core mac pro without having to spend 1000's of dollars on stuff I may or may never ever need? Other than video editing, is there any other way I can get the best out of using my machine for what its intended for? Here is what I currently use my mac pro for, thus far:
1. Everyday stuff, browsing internet, forums, emailing.
2. sometimes I will burn two dvds/cd's simultaneously, sometimes not.
3. Retro gaming though I do have some older modern games I play from time to time.
4. I had bootcamp installed, but no more as I can do most of the work I need on the OS X platform.
5. When I ever get dvds, I rip them using handbrake just to take advantage of all my cores, even though mactheripper is much faster and only uses some of the cores.
As of right now most of the above I do on my newly acquired Power Mac G5 Quad and my mac pro is on the floor, disconnected and not being used. The problem is that I got the mac pro because of its expandability and I realize my BIGGEST MISTAKE here was that it is in no way a consumer type machine, but for many years I have used desktop macs for my purposes and expansion.
This is my only intel mac, as my PB G4 is being used for my mobile computing and does everything I throw at it, Power Mac G5 does also what I through at it. The G4 Pismo is only used for OS 9 nostalgia to if I ever have a yearn to retro back to the beginning days of OS 9
Question: With my limited amount of funds, what can I do to get the best out of my Mac Pro?? I don't want to sell it for something cheaper or less, as I really do love the expansion capability of the mac pro and its case for prolonging the system. I don't plan on getting a future mac pro as for what I use it for it certainly would be a waste.
I know I have been rude to some of you and I know its been a rocky road between all of you on this forum and me, but I am now in a desperate, precarious position.. What really can I use my mac pro for other than using it like my PM G5 Quad? I am starting to also think the Quad is overkill, but nevertheless, I have a love for both Intel and PowerPC. And yes, I plan on getting Lion as I do want my mac pro to keep up with at least software and updates to the OS.
Thank you!
Romko

LOL, I think the G5s are already obsolete & a Legacy Mac as far as Apple is concerned, yet MHz per MHz they can still compete favorably with the right SW.
>Ok, can the G5 Quad still do good with elementary audio and video software?
Yes.
>What do you think? The mac pro makes a good server?
Oh yes.
>I do plan on getting Lion when it comes out for my mac pro however.
I wish I could comment on Lion, but NDA, NDA, NDA.
>Also, is it true I won't be able to charge an ipod touch with the G5's USB ports?
No iPods here, but Macs have traditionally been weak in USB amperage, I'd think if all else fails an AC powered USB hub would vertainly cure it.
>Define obsolete?
No longer supported by Apple... so what's new?
Right now Leo/10.5.x is still fairly well supported, but when a new OS hits I expect that to stop.
BTW, we're not llowed to speculate here, so call that a blind guess!

Unable to switch on my phone need some serious help

everyone, i got some issues while switching on my phone. Today my phone has automatically downloaded system update, after completion i installed that update and few minutes after installation, phone restarted and shows this massage "The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to computer and try again."I connected my phone to the computer but still shows the same message and shuts down automatically and im not using any custom recovery.what should i do now??? Please help me with that..

Try performing a system repair using PC Companion as this will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

Need some serious help...

Last month, the processor in my PC crashed. As fate would have it, it crashed right as I was updating the software for my iPod Touch (I did manage to back up the iTouch before the crash). So now, my iPod Touch is stuck in "recovery mode." I have since rebuilt my PC from the ground up (new motherboard, processor, RAM, vid card) but I have kept my previous Hard Disk Drive as it was where all my "stuff" was. The issue is that this drive was not backed up to a disk or off site. I can access my iTunes music via the music folder in the old HDD but for some reason or another I cannot get the iTunes program, which I just reinstalled from the web, to find or sync. I can import songs individually using the "file>library>import playlist" route, however it only seems to allow me to import one song at a time. Given the sheer number of songs I have stored there, it will take weeks to accomplish. That being said, I fear what has come of my saved stored Apps. I am not getting an option to move the Apps to the new iTunes program, and iTunes is saying I cannot complete the iTouch software upgrade, only "restore" the iTouch. Bottom line...will I lose all the apps? or possibly everything? This seems far too extreme for a company as prolific as Apple.
So I'm desperately wondering if there's a way to extract the iTouch files from my old HDD to the current one so that they will sync to my current iTunes program, hopefully be able to then restore the iTouch and sync it and still have all my bought Apps and music. I've scoured the internet for solutions, however they all seem to assume that both my iTouch and Computer haven't crashed simultaneously. I've tried customer service for Apple, however they seem as confused about the whole thing as I am. Anyone have a suggestion, link or even a solution?

I can import songs individually using the "file>library>import playlist" route, however it only seems to allow me to import one song at a time.
Try the "Add to Library" command instead, and select the parent folder for your content. That should copy all the content to your new iTunes folder and add it all into iTunes.
Alternatively, if you have the entire former iTunes folder (the master folder which contains the iTunes library files as well as the folders with the content), you should be able to just drag-copy that folder to the appropriate location on your new hard drive. Then to make sure iTunes recognizes it, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, navigate to and select that folder. You can also just do the same with the iTunes folder on your old hard drive, if you plan to keep that drive permanently in use.
Regards.

Lenovo A6000 Softbricked? Needs some serious help--Please

Hi My A6000 phone got factory reset and then I tried to recover some lost pics...but I was advised that my phone needs to be rooted first, so the software opened kingo root soft, It showed me the message that phone has been rooted and when it rebooted there was a notification of software update which I said ok and ever since then the phone is stuck on system recovery mode (not sure if it is called soft brick or not) and I have tried many things including choosing all the options starting from reboot system now, apply update from ADB, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, apply update from sdcard but nothing seems to work!!! oh I for got to mention on the top of the screen it says Androoid system recovery <3e>Kraft -A6000_S035_150507 and then gives all the option and i have tried this following : https://boycracked.wordpress.com/2015/06/03/unbrick-lenovo-a6000/ but some how for the first solution it keeps on saying download failed, emergency recovery download failed...anyways it does not work Is there any soultion to this!!! Please help if there is one!

it worked the link from boycracked (mentioned above )actually worked the trick was to hold vol up+down key (while the phone is off) and then insert the usb into your computer, secondly my computer kept of saying that qualcomms --digital signatures not verified and the port is supposed to be Qualcomm Lenovo HS-USB QDLoader 9008 where as mine showed up to 9091, to solve this I uninstalled the drivers and then disabled digital signatures (use goggle how to disable signatures verification on whichever windows you are using) and it worked fine. Thank you all

Need some serious help asap please

My boyfriend got drunk last night and changed his passcode on his iphone 3GS. Goes to use it this morning and couldn't remember it whatsoever, tried so many times that his phone is now disabled and asks to be connected to itunes.
Tried syncing it but I must've not done something right. The phone IS his and we do own the first and only computer the phone has been plugged in to.
So my questions are as follows:
How do I find the serial number on itunes?
How do I restore his passcode without having to completely restore his phone?
We are both still very new to the iphone thing and a little overwhelmed. I need to get this fixed asap as my boyfriend needs his phone for work. I might add that I'm still quite unfamiliar with itunes so be gentle lol
Any help will be greatly appreciated

How do I find the serial number on itunes?
Under the Summary tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
How do I restore his passcode without having to completely restore his phone?
Not possible. If this were possible, there wouldn't be any reason to have a Passcode Lock feature to prevent unauthorized access to the iPhone in the first place. The iPhone must be restored with iTunes. It can be restored from the iPhone's backup since the Passcode Lock is not included with the iPhone's backup.

I need some serious help with MPEG Streamclip and iMovie 11

Hello, everyone!
I hope that some kind soul here is able to help me. My sister-in-law asked me if I could help her re-edit a video that they made of a conference she gave because she didn't like the way some parts were edited. I oh-so-kindly (and perhaps stupidly) offered to help her out!
A little background: even though I studied audiovisual communications in college, I leaned (a LOT) towards the audio production part of it and, lately, photography, too. That means that I'm not very good at the whole creating-a-movie-in-iMovie thing, even though I know it's supposed to be easy.
So, here goes: I have a DVD from her which has the typical TS files for audio and video. I downloaded a program called MPEG Streamclip and then it said I needed to buy the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component so that I could rip the DVD my sister-in-law gave me. I bought the component.
I've converted, done small, 1-minute tests, of the DVD with MPEG Streamclip to DV and also to MP4 (just in case). I do it, then import them to iMovie 11. I don't edit anything at all, just a test to see how it looks, so I immediately send the project to iDVD to see how it looks. It DOES NOT look good.
Compared to the DVD she gave me, which looks all smooth (picture-wise), mine has a certain amount (NOT HUGE) of pixelation. I can tell especially because there are some slides that were added to her project, so I can see the pixelated parts around the edges of the letters.
The DVD she gave me does NOT look HD. In fact, it looks SD (4:3), so I don't believe it's that.
If anybody here knows about this, what am I doing wrong? Am I not ripping it correctly using MPEG Streamclip? Am I not making the iMovie 11 project right? Am I burning in the "wrong way"?
If it's the MPEG Streamclip ripping that I'm doing wrong, what are the settings I should be using? What format should I be using so that it is VERY iMovie-friendly?
I want the final video that I would edit to look exactly as the one she gave me. That IS possible, right?
For extra information, if needed, I am running a MacBook Pro, 13", i7 with 4 GB of RAM and am running OS 10.6.6. I've been a Mac user since the OS 9 days.
Thanks in advance for anyone who helps me out.
Serge

Ok. Got it!!!
Z, thanks a lot!! Now things don't look pixelated and my test burn looks exactly like the dvd my sister-in-law gave me... except for ONE THING:
There are these graphics done in I-don't-know-what program with a cube transition. They look like when you do 3D cube transitions in virtual desktop, you know?
Anyway, HER dvd looks completely smooth when you see these transitions but MY dvd looks... well, not right. It looks a bit like the screen or the letters "tremble" or shake a bit. I hope you can understand what I'm saying.
I followed your advice to the letter and everything is perfect with the exception of those transitions (because after the transition passes and you see the slide with the writing, it looks completely smooth).
Do you know of something that I can do to help with this problem?
Thanks again!
Serge
