How long have you been a Verizon customer?

Hi there!
According to /var/log/pacman.log, I've got Arch installed more than a year now (my laptop's age).
[04/23/07 10:59] synchronizing package lists
Since then, I never had to reinstall the system.
I started using Fluxbox, then switched to Gnome, and I'm currently using XFCE. Since I'm curious about KDE4, I'll be switching to it when 4.1 hits the repos.
Concerning the kernel upgrades, I custom compile my own, and never had troubles what so ever.
I've got tree other machines running Arch. One headless server, and two workstations. All in the same situation (installed once, and updated once in a while).
You can't beat rolling release!

What is the advice to turn off laptops based
on?
Unnecessary heat generation.
Even a sleeping laptop generates some heat.
Heat kills batteries.
I actually meant "shut down" or "restart", not "turn off" - sorry. You can have the power off with hibernation or suspend to disk - then what is the advantage of shutting down?
But anyway, how much heat does a sleeping laptop generate? Surely it can't change the battery's temperature very much from room temperature? I doubt very much it is enough heat to be battery killing - particularly compared with MBP operating temperatures! So I think that point isn't true.
I could imagine that leaving a laptop sleeping all the time might reduce battery longevity a little for another reason. If you left it sleeping on battery, then it'd be using the battery, which would wear it out more than not using it. But that must be a slight effect. If you left it plugged in, then the battery would be charged up or be kept near 100% charge (or whatever it is that happens these days), and I suppose that would also have a slight effect on the life of the battery. But surely those effects would be dwarfed by those of actually using the battery in the computer during the day!
And what about the power used to boot the machine? I wonder how that compares to the power used overnight during sleep. I guess sleep uses more power, but I don't have any figures.

Hotmail works!? how long have we been able to access it from safari?

Just organising a few things on my iPhone, Syncing a few photos and tiding a few things up. I synced my latest bookmark bar from my laptop and Hotmail was on it.
I tried to access the hotmail website from my synced Hotmail bookmark bar on my iPhone for a laugh to see if I could log on because I could never do this before and had signed up to izymail last November so that I could link up Hotmail to my Mail App on my iPhone.
Anyway, I logged on and Hotmail works fine now from my iPhone Safari web browser. How long has anyone been able to do this?
It'll mean that i'll be able to check my email when I have no Wi-Fi signal or EDGE which was always a nightmare when I was out and about and needed to check email.

In the past, when i've tried to log onto Hotmail through Safari on my iPhone - it would load after I entered my password and then just refresh the same page. Alot of users on the forum were complaining about the same problem back in November/December 2007.
I haven't read any articles on Hotmail for months now appart from people signing up to izymail.
So you think I should have always been able to access my free Hotmail account using Safari as long as I had W-Fi or EDGE Signal?

Should I leave Verizon with one month left on my contract so I can upgrade? The ETF seems worth it considering the bad customer service I received and how long I've been with Verizon.

I've been with Verizon for a really long time and one of the best things about their upgrades was that they used to allow you to do it a little early. And since you dont really keep up with plan changes until a new phone comes out or you are closer to your upgrade eligibility date, I didnt realize that they changed this. My phone is on its last leg. 2 years is a long time for a device that you use every day, 50 times a day. My upgrade date is a month away and I'm considering moving to a different service and letting them pay for my ETF. I have called Verizon asking if there was anything they could do to allow me to upgrade early and they said no. When did this start happening? They tried to sell me the "Edge" but thats the same as paying 700 dollars.

ATT doesnt care how long you've been with them
cox doesnt care how long you've been with them
your eletricity company doesnt care
your gas station doesnt care
your grocery store doesnt care
your car insurance might care , a little.
Just because uncle tommy gives you a discount because he's been cutting your lawn for years doesn't mean a large company would. And why should they?

Have been a Verizon customer since I got my first cell phone in my 30's - I am 50 now! A year ago, I stupidly opted to get a new phone on the EDGE program because I was trying my first Samsung device and was not sure I would like it having been an IPhone

have been a Verizon customer since I got my first cell phone in my 30's - I am 50 now! A year ago, I stupidly opted to get a new phone on the EDGE program because I was trying my first Samsung device and was not sure I would like it having been an IPhone user for years.I was right! Or so I thought.... The Note 3 has been horrible. I am on my second phone(replaced it under warranty) and it still freezes, shuts off on its own, and will not come back on for long periods of time. Having had enough, I decided to EDGE Up to another device. On March 16th I tried to edge up my device online but was unable to. I immediately called to figure out what the problem was. Back in October I had a mix up in my billing where I had set up a payment. It was not done properly by customer service and as a result my line was cut off. I called the EXACT day it went off, filed a complaint about the lack of follow through for my arranged payment, and thought I had it straightened out as the payment was made that same day. That incident, although it was a Verizon error, caused my Edge Contract to be "hotlined". I spent an hour on the phone on March 16th clearing the whole mess up. When the conversation ended, the Verizon representative admitted it was a Verizon error, documented everything, and then told me she was filing a release for the hotline hold that would take a couple of days. Her name was Linda and I stupidly trusted what she said.
The days passed as I prepared to have a major foot surgery and to get my classroom straight before I would be out recovering for 3 weeks. All the time, my Samsung continued to glitch out like it has since I got it! While sitting on the couch recovering, I decided to deal with the phone issue again and EDGE UP. I figured 10 days latter, Linda would have taken care of the issue. Unfortunately, I faced the same problem and was told it was not eligible to edge up at this time. BACK on the phone again, 2 supervisors, 3 customer service reps. ( JOE from New York being the rudest customer service rep. I have EVER worked with) and 4 frustrating HOURS latter, Jason, the equally rude supervisor from Rochester, New York, informed me that Linda gave me BAD information, there was NOTHING he could do, and I am NOT eligible until April 14th!!!!! The WORST experience I have EVER had with a company. They were completely inept, rude, and not concerned about my time, my frustration, or the problems I was facing with their product in the LEAST. I have 4 LINES on Verizon that I am going to talk to Sprint about buying out. It was a horrible experience, and I can NOT believe I have no recourse or anyone to talk to....

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

Over the last several weeks I have had TERRIBLE service. Dropping calls, can't make calls, etc. Been a verizon customer 10+ years. I've never had such shotty service. WHATS UP!?!?!

We live in a rural area and are still not offered anything better, so we have used dial up internet for several years. Quality has always been just fine, getting connections of 28.8-40k or higher, which is perfectly normal for dial up. However lately we have seen a rapid decline in the quality and speed of connections. While still useable, it has been annoying. This last month however I can only rarely connect at a speed higher than 9.6kbps. Sometimes it is even lower at 7.2k or even 4.8k. I know verizon is only obligated to provide high enough speeds for phone calls, but these low speeds are simply unacceptable for dial up internet use. Many programs wont even connect at all at speeds lower than 14.4k. Atm my dial up account that i'm paying monthly for is basically not useable at all.
How can I actually get verizon to do something about this. I don't want to be given the runaround by someone over the phone telling me they don't have to give use any higher speed connections. This is a complaint about suddenly dropping use to such terrible service compared to what we used to have for several years. Shouldn't this be addressed so that I can actually use my dial up account without so many problems?
I feel like our line has somehow been limited to only connect at these low speeds. Is something like that possible? How can we get verizon to stop doing that and actually connect our calls at decent speeds? I just want a return to the good service we used to receive if they aren't going to bring dsl/fios out here.
Did you try calling oyur ISP to see if it's something on their end? I know when I was on dial up years ago I had to change to a different number once in my area as something was wrong with the one I had always used to dial into AOL, maybe that's it. Mary

Hi. I have an iPhone 4 and no data plan. When I'm not connected to wifi I don't receive iMessages, but later when I do connect to wifi, I get them telling me they were sent earlier. I don't remember how long this has been happening. Any Help?

Hi. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS7 and no data plan. When I am not connect to wifi I don't receive iMessages, but then when I do connect to wifi I get the messages telling me they were sent earlier. Is there any thing I can do to fix it? I don't remember how long this has been happening but it is very frustrating. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!!!

If you don't have a cellular data plan, then why are you expecting that you will have an active internet connection unless you are connected to wi-fi?
iMessages require either wi-fi or a cellular data connection.

Freaking OUT!! I have a desktop (IMac) and my IPhoto library is gone! Events gone, albums gone, faces gone!!! I can't even find the folder for IPhoto Library under Pictures under my hardrive. I have no idea how long it's been this way!

Ok so here's what has happened. I got on the Mac to open IPhoto. It opened, but no files PERIOD! No albums, events, photos, faces. They were all empty. I had TONS of albums and photos. I have no clue how long it's been this way, probably a couple of weeks since I've been on it. Ac couple of things come to mind that might have caused or had something to do with...IPhone 4 had to be restored and a back-up and upgrade occurred. Also, I deleted files off my camera while connected. Not sure the culprit, but VERY UPSET! I have never set up Time Machine and have no other back up. I downloaded and purchased File Salvage but I have to get an external hard drive before it will do it. I put the application install CD in last night thinking that if I reinstalled it would help but then I got scared and shut Mac down half way through. I couldn't even find the file IPhoto Library. When I open IPhoto it say IPhoto 9 but when I "get more info" it says IPhoto 8.1.2 or something like that. Please HELP!!

Try an All Images Search:
In the Finder:
Command - f
Kind: Images
Size: Greater than 300kb (This is to avoid all the thumbnails, icons and so on.)
Set it to search the Mac.
As to why? The most likely answer is user error, I'm afriad. It does point up the importantce of always having a back up.

iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Have you been getting timeouts and other weird connection issues lately?

Internet connection has become a bit wonky as of late, have you been experiencing some or all of the following symptons?
1) Most internet speed test sites just stop before completing as if they have timed out (i.e. speedtest.net).
2) Sites will start loading quickly but then sometimes randomly stop and have to be manually refreshed.
3) Downloads will randomly stop downloading for some moments before resuming (particularly from Steam)
4) Tracert to some websites that were causing issues show timeouts on peering with Alter.net servers.
Looks like there are some issues between Verizon and Alter.net (formerly MCI, now Verizon owned) in NY.... Any word on when we can expect a resolution? This is quite frustrating as it affects a good amount of traffic.

I'm a little further east than you out here on Long Island, Touyats, but I've seen none of the issues you or the Original Poster here are experiencing.
Assuming you're having the problems on a device connected to your router by Ethernet cable (WiFi opens up an entire range of other possible problems) you might try getting your router assigned a new WAN IP address.
If you want to give that a try, see this post for the steps involved:

HT1390 How long can you keep a movie rental, once it's downloaded? Do u need wifi to watch it?

How long can you keep a movie rental, once it's downloaded? Do u need wifi to watch it?

As long as it's been fully downloaded then you shouldn't need to be online in order to watch it.
As to how long you have to watch it, from here :
You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.

Is there a timer app for tracking how long someone has been logged on?

I want to limit my child's total screen time on a daily basis and display how long he has been logged on. This is different from time limits, which set the start and end time of the day.

Aaaah ... I found that setting now. Thank you.
This may do the trick.
I suspect the app developer is a non-English speaker. The support page is on Japanese and there is no reference to the calendar functionality in the store description. It looked like an Evernote-only add-in. I never would have found it without you. Thanks again.
