I'm afraid I made the wrong decision
I happened to bump unto this forum, and I was surprised to see a lot of "Problems" with iPod shuffle. I just purchased one about a week ago, and I hope I didn't make a wrong decision >.<
Right.
Imagine you're an alien and visited a hospital as Wade suggests. That's the first thing you see and everyone there except a few doctors are sick. Oh, no, everyone is sick. If you would have gone outside first and seen a bunch of healthy people, you'd realize the hospital is a small sample. I for one have gotton two members of my family shuffles and they work perfectly. There are also two minis in my family which work perfectly, along with my iPod. This does not include all the people I know. I have not meant one person who's iPod was broken. Only once did someone's iPod not turn on because their brother dropped it. I reset it and bam! it turned on .
Keep in mind that I'm not going to post everyday, "My iPod works great ". That's not why there is a forum here

Hope I made the right decision!!
After at least a couple of weeks of debate and reading these forums minimum of twice a day, I broke down and ordered a refurb 15" 1.67ghz Powerbook vs getting a MacBook Pro. Of course the sudden availability of refurb MacBook Pros at the Apple Store kind of slowed me down but I still went with the PB. I figured as follows:
- PB is last of the PPC series and should be the pinnacle of that technology.
- being a refurb hopefully any of the screen issues etc should have been worked out.
- all my main apps would require Rosetta on the MBP for up to a year (Adobe) and this time will let the MBP get over its growing pains and I won't really be taking any of a performance hit in the mean time.
- the PB still has some desirable features such as the DL Superdrive, PCMCIA slot (I already own some cards that I can't easily replace) etc.
- taking advantage of rebates I saved about $300 vs a refurb MBP which I can use for RAM, etc. Plus I'm not sure how secure I would have been with a refurb early model MBP anyway so the savings might really be closer to $500.
- I can continue to look forward to a MBP down the road while enjoying my PB.
Anyone think I made the wrong decision? Comments welcome.
Powerbook, iMac Mac OS X (10.4.3)How was your refurbed PB15 when you received it. I have purchased other refurb equipment (iPods, etc) from Apple and it arrived looking like new. I am hoping that any issues with the screen etc will have been repaired/resolved before being sent out to me.
I was thinking about a cinema display with the PB especially to get the double coverage from Applecare. However, I have a 20" G5 iMac which will remain my main machine for the forseeable future with the PB just for travel and when I don't want to work at my desk. Once the whole line-up is out with the Intel processors and has been proven solid then I will re-think my hardware at that time.
I am pretty well committed to the next version of ACS anyway as I skipped CS2 and am still happy using CS1. My other main apps are the MS Office products and I will wait to see if the Intel upgrade is a major feature upgrade as well or just releasing the Universal version.

Worried about whether I made the right decision
I had signed up for BT Infinity on 14-06-2011 and I was moving over from VM so I made a request to move my number over to BT. I had made a upfront payment of £120 to cover the yearly telphone rental charges.
VM came back with "matching" offer but I had attached some conditions to the new offer and said I will only accept the offer if my conditions were met. A few days later unknown to me my BT order got cancelled, which I only came to know when a BT CS called me up to inform me about the cancellation. She assured me that the payment £120 will be refunded to me within 5-7 working days.
I had contacted the online billing chat service twice and each time they told me that the refund has been authorised and I should receive my refund in the next 5-7 working days. I also posted on the billing forum and contacted the mods as suggested. I am yet waiting for somebody get back to me.
I have been waiting for this refund for over 2 weeks now and still no sign of it.
In the meantime VM couldn't "agree" to my conditions so I placed a order once again with BT, which is going to be installed next week.
I never had any billing related problems with VM and they always resolved it without any issues.
BUT now I am worried whether I made the right decision.
Solved!

I have been promised that the refund will be in my account by Saturday...
My installation is tomorrow... Fingers crossed...
Hope the installation goes smoothly (it should), then you can go down the pub Saturday and celebrate with the £120

I connected my new iPhone 5 to my (now fully updated after two separate operating system upgrades!) MacBook Pro so that I could add my music to my new phone. Rather than configuring it as a new iPhone, I chose to configure it as my old iPhone, thinking that this would make it easier for my music to be there. WRONG. Now my new iPhone 5 looks exactly like my old iPhone 4 did in OCTOBER, 2012 - photos, messages, contacts... anything done since then is gone (that was the last time I had backed up my old phone, which unfortunately was not connected to the cloud and is also lost somewhere in a New England lake :-(). What I could really, really use help with is finding out if I can have a do-over on my choice and at least get my new phone looking/acting like the new phone it is, and bonus would be to have the photos and videos I took with it this past weekend (it's only five days old!) restored. Please help!
Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

Help me if I made the good decision
I just ordered my first mac.
I choosed to order the higher spec macbook pro 2.53 gigahertz and also upgrade the hardrive to 7200 Rpm. I thought macbook pro is better then the I mac as if needed i can carry it around and i can allways connect and external screen to it , non apple as on big screen i dont like glossy when I am at home.
My order will be shipped in 1-2 weeks, but I slept over it and I kinda think if I need that or not also so many people complain on the macbook pros, like the heat , freezing etc etc
My 7 years old Toshiba still rocks for her age;-) so I would love if an Apple computer would be the same. Are there all those issue for all the macbook pro=s or just simply some of them are wrong?
Second
The reason i bought a higher spec macbook pro is that I can't upgrade later, i will use photoshop on it and windows and make some video editing and some gaming and in the near future i will buy for it a 24inch HD screen.,
With all that you think I need what i ordered? or not ?
I am thinking to cancel...
But I am hesitating
Many thanx guys / girls to help me decide !I understand why you are choosing higher speed CPU 2.53 to future proof , but the hard drive can be upgraded yourself at a later date IF you need too as can the RAM , if you need it .
These are fast machines at base model .
I'm getting the base 2.4 Macbook pro in a few days and will upgrade the RAM and hard drive if I need too, at a later date .
I'll be using mine for some light photo/video editing , audio production & band promo artwork etc.
I'm expecting no issues at all and will check the machine thoroughly upon arrival ,if there are any problems Apple will sort them out , however ,I envisage an issue free purchase and many years of happy use . -
I DO remember them but Apple chose to put them in Japanese and I can not change the language on Manage my Apple ID so I do not know if I made an error ,it threw me off , it was the wrong question Where did you fly to on your first Aiplane trip ? then I was unable to enter until 8 hours then called Apple Japan 4 times each time threy asked me would you like to speak with an English speaker,I said yes then they told me sorry today is Sunday no English speakers ,but they refused to speak Japanese, then I called 5th time and a kind guy could speak English we were on 1and 1/2 hours he got me to log in but the reset key chain could not be completed still pending.
He said do not mess with that ! then I got a text from somewhere to reset 4 pins suddenly it was very strange I said to him that I got this pin this morning but it said you can use maximum 3 hours it had a UK number and I told him I do not like this and will not enter the code he said do not do it if it is from the UK and then I said to him ok you did a lot to help but we can not go any further ! and we cut of I went back to my computer to re do the ID but I found everything a mess so I call and a stupid sounding Japanese women with a squeaky voice came on I was calm at first and they want your phone number your IMEI number your iPhone serial number date of birth Address email address it takes 10 munutes to check then they ask what are you caling about so I try to explain my keychain is broken or problems with language security questions and can not change my pasword because the security question have failed me so it is ONE BIG HEADACHE AND I START I GET STRESSED she says Do want an ENGLISH speaker ,I say yes ,that guy i talked to earlier but I never got his name and first time I ever talked to him but they said he is not here so I said ok and then she said today is sunday so call back in the morning ,I said ,well ok in Japanese but they make you feel stupid because they do not want to speak Jap@anese with none natives and they are to busy,And they feel that I should not bother them ,then I say that Apple Japan is trying to refuse Apple foreign customers and then she wants to hang up and ask me to visit the shop ,but they are the same I have a very bad time with Apple Japan since they do not discuss software problems or security with customer meaning if you have a problem they ask you to come on a time 20 minutes max so they do hardware test and say you phone is fine then I say no I can not reset my ID they say you must call call centre so I am going around in circles ,When I call English it is usually Australia so if my problem is in Japan surely if do not want me to talk to them in Japanese and they ask me to call Australia but every time my call charge is expensive after asking them is this free because I have Apple care they say yes but when the call goes to Australia 0120 277 535 it might change to paid call so I call then I have to ask is this charging they say we can not give you that information ! so what can I do I have have been at the computer and phone all day on my day off work and in tre week I am so busy and can not use my phone I can not work without it ,this new technology for you ,they can not cope with the fact that the customer have problems yet they do not want to deal with us because they can not solve it and so it shows them to be useless they like to walk around in their cool tee shirts and retro shop but when it comes to functionality we are unwelcome they got the money so do not return because apple is perfect that nothing should go wrong .
But it does somehow my English security answers do not work on a Japanese Question especialy if I did not choose that question I set up the multiple choice In English and wrote the answers in English or Roman and set them langauge preferences in English, do you really think you can correctly write english name or word in Japanese they write a police patrol car pato caa パトカア they do not have r and l .So it is my choice to make my security easy for me and as difficult for others to hack.But they also have patororoo choo meaning ' now patrolling ' so why they have pato caa patrol car and patoro patrol and have thousands of Chinese words kanji they can find patrol.

I make annotations to my photos in iphoto using preview. But once I have made the annotation I do not get the photo back into the event in iphoto from which I took the photo. What am I doing wrong? I am not using aperture
For the annotations to display on the photo in iPhoto you must setup Preview as the external editor in iPhoto via iPhoto's Advanced preference pane.
After adding the annotations just do a Save. iPhoto will then recognize the change via a new modified version. You can revert to the original at any time if you want to get rid of the text.

Ok .... My partner is going mad because he is convinced I have tried to access his iPad 4. He typed in the wrong pass code just once and it has disabled itself for 5 mins leaving him convinced that I have tried to get into it . I haven't. He is really angry and I've done nothing . Now he has turned the wifi off and my kids can't play their xboxes .
Is this a glitch possible on ipad4?
What other possible causes are there?
The iPad has been banged screen down on hard surface a couple of times..... Could this attribute to the issue?
Please will someone answer me? He wont believe me and I haven't touched anythingIf the iPad has been "banged down on hard surface" it is possible that just a touch of the screen, or coming near the screen, may have resulted in a false entry. Or it could be the kids.
Either way you need to dump your partner and get your kids out of that environment. Your partner has anger management issues and needs counseling. -
Dear MAC-Friends.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
Choose another Library ? ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
and the other possibility is:
Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library ?
And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Kind regards FINN GRABOWSKIOk. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?

I went to set up an ITunes account and entered the WRONG e-mail. After everything was complete it sent the Itunes conformation number to the wrong e-mail. I dont believe they can use it because they dont know the password it will ask them for that e-mail for the account. How do i redeem the itunes back? When i enetr the code to try and use it for my correct e-mail it says it already has been redeemed.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column then see if there is an appropriate place to report the problem.

I made the instance movie using Pre Ele 13. Finished rendered video is not sharp. Not a good quality video
David1946dr
On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 installed?
Like all Premiere Elements projects, the setup of the project plays an important part in the outcome.
What are the properties of the source media that you placed on the Premiere Elements 13 Timeline?
What project preset did you (manually) or the project (automatically) set to match the properties of that source media?
How did you decide to export the Timeline content?
Export to file save to the computer hard drive? If so, please detail the settings....Publish+Share/Computer/ then what? What did you
set for Presets? Did you use the default settings for the preset or customize them under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of the preset?
or
Burn to Disc.....DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, AVCHD format on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
And, what specific Instance Movie theme did you use?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

I accidently replaced a file with another. Can I undo my action?
I had two files named graphics. One was on my desktop and another was within another file called solitarie. I move the one on my desktop (wrong file) into the solitarie file and was asked if I wanted to replace the graphics file in the solitarie folder (the correct one). I said yes accidently and then remembered that I had made a mistake. If I use undo, it only move the wrong file back to the desktop. Is there an undo of replace?Sorry, but's that's why you get the warning. "Replace" means just that - the new file over-writes the old one. There is no undo.

I made a dumb decision to 'Erase Free Space' on my drive. I now have no free space, I realize because it wrote 0's over all my free space. Is there a way to undo this??? Help please I can't save any documents now! Thanks in advance all, it is truly appreciated. how can find the hidden temporary files using the terminal what do i type in?
It's more likely a failed Erase Free Space, which creates a huge temporary file; that's why it looks like you have no more available drive space. You can recover from this. See these links

I was bait and switched. I signed up under the pretense that I was getting the promotional rate of 40gb/$150 that was scheduled to end on November 5 2014.
I walked into a Verizon wireless store on November 4th with the intent to trade in my iPhone 5s which I was offered $350 trade in value and port over 2 of my lines with T-Mobile under the Verizon promotion. Once I was approved and offered my trade in I was told that the phones I was seeking to purchase from Verizon was not in stock and needed to be ordered, and delivered separately with the iPhone 6 being shipped out November 14 and the iPhone 6+ shipped November 21. Thomas, the Verizon wireless sales representative, also informed me that for me to get the promotional rate I would have to open the account with an active line before the 5th or I wouldn't be able to get the promotional rate since the phones would be delivered past the promotional date period. The sales representative insisted I should add an iPad that was in stock at the store and I could leave the store with an active account and once my phones were delivered I would be all set to go with my promotional plan and devices. I had no need for an iPad but decided it was worth getting for the sake of the promotion.
ON November 14 I recieved via FedEx a package containing not a iPhone 6 as promised, but a iPhone 6+. I called Verizon to activate the phone that was ported to my personal phone number, and didn't have my iPhone 6 that was set to port my out of state business line and cancel service with T-Mobile on the 14th of November. To say the least I was extremely upset for which I had no means of recieving business calls from North Carolina while I live in Florida. At that point I asked the Verizon customer care representative I had on the phone to see if they could see if there was a store that had the iphone 6 I ordered in stock so that I an could have a business phone the same day. He found a store that had it in stock and it happened to be the store I originally signed up at. I was told that it was in the color and storage capacity I had originally ordered and that I could pick it up at the store to complete my purchase with Verizon. Again, for the sake of having a business line I ran to the store and spoke with Thomas and explained the mix up. upon moving forward I was informed that they had an iPhone 6 in stock with the capacity I had requested but not the same color I had ordered. At that point I didn't care I just needed a phone and proceeded to activate the phone he had in stock And ported over my business line.
After recieving a text from Verizon that I had consumed all of my data just days after I recieved my phones I called Verizon 611 from my phone and spoke to a customer care representative named Fallon, which informed me I was set up on the wrong plan and that she see's the notes that Thomas notated that I was subscribing for a 40gb plan and that she was going to send a request I D # [removed] form to make the corrections and that there was no need for me to cancel service as I was within my cancelation period, again she insisted that there was no need to cancel and that the request would be granted and she would be calling me once my billing cycle reset and the corrections were made and she would credit my account based on the promotional rate. I NEVER RECIEVED A CALL FROM FALLON! Not even to be notified that the request was denied! I came to realize later in December when I recieved a $1200 bill that this wasn't resolved. I called customer service again and spoke with a gentleman that explained the request was denied and that this will be resolved after I explained what transpired. He assured me that he was going to expedite another request and he would be in contact with me within a few hours....... I'm still waiting for his call as well!
I called again several times in the past few days and have spoken to several supervisors that promised to resolve this matter and call me back promptly........ Again, no one has called me back!
December the 8th I spoke with a supervisor named Victoria which assured me she would get this resolved within the next 24 hours and gave me her direct number to reach her if I didn't hear from her [removed], again I haven't heard from her yet and I've made several attempts to reach her at her direct line to no avail.
December the 9th I spoke with supervisor named Mike employee #[removed] in the Seattle call center, he appoligized for the mix up and that no one has called me back and that he would handle this matter and get back to me today December 10th....... Again no call..... I have spoken to 3 people today all which have made promises to call me back today within a few hours and none that have. I just got off the phone with a supervisor named Vanessa Jentfield at the Chicago call center and saw all the notations and assured me that there is no reason why this shouldn't be corrected and that she would be calling me back tonight or tomorrow. I will be sitting by the phone unless Verizon wireless decides to disconnect my service for non payment of $1200+.........
I have filed a complaint giving a detailed explanation of what has transpired with the FCC as well as the FTC, my next step is to file a small claims lawsuit tomorrow morning with the state of Florida and see if Verizon finds a way to contact me then,I guess I will just have to wait and see.
Personal information removed as required by the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service
Message was edited by: Admin ModeratorIt was a good idea to file a complaint with the FCC, someone from Verizon will contact you by phone in an effort to resolve your issue. I wouldn't suggest small claims court as they have not done anything illegal, (just bad customer service) and their contract with you is usually upheld, which in this case is not for the plan you want. The person contacting you likely has a little more pull, as the call centers can only uphold the written customer agreement made.
