I had thought AT&T was bad but Verizon now TAKES THE CAKE!!!
Been nightmarish as all I want is a dial tone and internet!!!! Verizon doesn't seem to want or be able to do that!!!
About 3 weeks ago or so, the nice young man standing on my porch convinced me (again after a previous nightmare experience) to switch to FIOS as the copper lines would soon be unserviceable. Scheduled for FIOS install and agreed to a noon to Pm arrival of the Tech. Online the service ticket changes previously listed arrival to 4-Pm then it changes to 5-Pm. Tech calls at 6m say tied up in traffic and will take 40 mins to arrive. I had to leave so I told him forget it and finally got a call a few days later and put order on hold to explore my options as I was fed up with Verizon. So at this point a couple of hours on the phone and a days wages lost because had to take off from work and the nice lady says to insist on a Verizon tech. next time and not a contractor?!?!?
Now here on the 6/11 NO DIALTONE but DSL OK. Now with over an hour on the phone I finally get to a point of placing a service order. This was after telling them OVER 10 TIMES I AM ON COPPER>>>NOT FIOS. after numerous transfers and then to the "copper dept" I set a service call for 8-11am on 6/12. (remember I now have said COPPER over 10 times). Patricia calls from service to verify and she was very snarky & snotty and did not want to hear COPPER! So on Wed AM guess who shows up??? A FIOS TECH!!!! Can't help me! Online and all the rep's saying FIOS, FIOS ,FIOS and I keep saying COPPER, COPPER, COOPER!
Now....another HOUR + after all the xfers and holds on the phone, I finally get through that I need a COPPER tech. and one is scheduled for this AM between 8-noon. The tech calls at 9:20 and I explain the situation to him. He checks it out an calls me back and says that he can't help me as they disconnected my COPPER because the account shows FIOS (remember FIOS NEVER installed). The tech (Jose) was decent to deal with and instructs me that I need to CANCEL FIOS and tell them I have a phone on copper and to re-activate on copper and there was nothing he could do. I pleaded with him to please fix it from his end so I didn't have to go through more Verizon phone nightmare but alas he was unable to help. I don't curse but I am thinking about it and will soon be doing it profusely after my ensuing encounter with Verizon.
This now takes the cake!!!! So I call and go through all the gyrations explaining the issue and end back up in the sales Dept. Get this now....here it comes......I now have to cancel ALL service and open a totally new account. I now have to Re-establish credit and this after being a customer with the same phone number for OVER 40 YEARS and always paid the bill even with the Verizon billing screwups during the years!!!! I now am REALLY **bleep** as I have to give my DOB and SSN over the phone which I really protest as I am an existing customer with Verizon wireless too!!! I went round and round with the very nice and patient lady (Angela) and asked if there were any way to go to a Dept. head or someone in authority to wave a magic wand and just simply AUTHORIZE the RE-ESTABLISHMENT of the service I had up to the 11th? She tells me nobody has a magic wand and this is the way the system works. Now to add to this I reminded her that I had wireless and had a "One bill" and Uh-Oh....this adds another layer of complexity to the situation and they might not be able to do it,
So now bottom line now as a result of dealing with the monolith Verizon and going with their suggestion and where one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. I have lost THREE DAYS OF WORK and numerous HOURS of Verizon phone hell and still have no dial tone over a simple PAIR OF WIRES!!! I am an innocent VICTIM of of gross incompetence. I know just on little customer out of the millions they have isn't important but Verizon has lost sight of customer service and have forgotten that it is easier to retain a customer than to re-gain them. They forget that a disgruntled customer can influence 10 others. I have growing business needs and be assured I won't be looking at Verizon and this will also extend to those I consult. At this point I am on a search of my options to get Verizon out of my life forever.

I am working on a PC. My InDesign CS6 was working but is now missing its amtlib.dll file. To fix it it says to reinstall program but I was am idiot and didn't make a copy. Is there any way to reinstall this missing file?
It was bought for my son and he never registered it.
I still don't understand why Neema was trying to reinstall it when she didn't have the serial number but after she uninstalled it, said she couldn't reinstall it because I didn't have the serial number. I never had it yet she didn't have a problem with trying to install it originally.
Still won't buy another Adobe product again. I've talked to a lot of people who can't stand Adobe and I now know why. I can't even update Flash without my whole system crashing or getting a virus.
I won't re-purchase InDesign either. I realize it should have been registered and I explained that my email had been hacked and my proof of purchase was deleted with ALL of my emails and I also had a major virus after updating Flash.
I can't afford to buy the same product twice.
I will find out what other formats my book distributor (Ingram Books) accepts and purchase that program.
Not impressed with Adobe and will share my experience with others so they can be sure to register their product and make a copy of the program BEFORE allowing an Adobe employee to take control of their computers.
If you knew the answer to my question, customer support should have too.
Thanks for your help.

Can someone please help? Recently just had my iPhone 4S reconnected. I've now waited the 24 hours that you need to wait till everything goes back to normal. However on a phone call I can hear whoever I'm calling but they can't hear me?
i had the same problem a few weeks ago and i had only had my 3g iphone for a few weeks. It was as if i was on permanent mute. I could hear others fine, but they couldn't hear me, even if i used speakerphone or even a bluetooth.
i took it to an apple store and they did a real quick test (they first did a system restore, then they took my phone and tried calling another employee). Once they validated it wasn't working, they replaced my phone quickly with no questions asked. Just make sure to back up everything on I-Tunes before you go in so that you dont lose any info. might want to do the restore before you go in, as well, otherwise you'll have to wait for them to do it at the store, which takes them 15 mins or so.
Hope this helps. -
i used my visa to buy an album, it appeared and i was listenting to it, now when i try to update my iphone and get apps i cannot, it says my card was declined but yet i receviecd the cd>
Thank you for clarify I'm supposed to read the ENTIRE article. I thought I was just supposed to read the title and magically everything will fix itself. I appreciate you taking the time to help me however I do not appreciate the caps and the way you have addressed the situation. If you are not going to kindly help people/make suggestions just don't try! And for the record my conclusions are not illogical, the iOS7 thing is on the website in small font (which I got by reading the ENTIRE thing) and you should really find a new hobby because your socialization skills need some help! That goes for you too Chris. Not everyone is a tech nerd

My old computer has broken and I had not backed up my Itunes. I now have the hard drive from my old computer (windows 7) but cannot transfer the music. How can I transfer the music from my old hard drive to the new laptop (windows 8)?
Copy the entire iTunes folder from \Users\<User>\Music on the old drive into your music folder on the new computer.
Or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

After an unsuccessful Itunes update I started getting a "msvcr80.dll file is missing from your computer" message. I downloaded and installed the Microsoft Visual C++ file and it said the reinstallation was successful but I still get the same error message and Itunes won"t install or run. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hey colorado65,
Follow the steps in this link to resolve the issue:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
When you uninstall, the items you uninstall and the order in which you do so are particularly important:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
Let us know if following that article and uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
All the best,

I'm transfering info from my old pc to my new macbook pro, using Windows Migration Assistant. All was fine but has now lost connection (wifi) and won't reconnect. Mac is showing transfer window and I cant escape, I'm new to mac
You'll need to erase the drive by booting up holding command-option-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
Use Disk Utility to erase the disk and then Internet Recovery. That will take a while.

I just transferred data using migration assistant from a macbook pro to a macbook. I am trying to log back into the user that was on the pro but is now on the macbook with the same password as before, and it says my password is incorrect?
Suggest you try the password for the Macbook, not the previous one.

I hear you. The reason I asked is that on the computer end of the cable, I took the ring off and it looks like there are some clasps around the housing, so I was wondering if these were for the purpose of threading the the cable. I will try and get some pictures. The drill is charging, however!!
