I'm Screwed....
So here it is..
I was browsing a website using safari for a bit with my external fan dock station thing.. Out of nowhere my screen goes black all except a small 1/8 inch band of multiple colors at the very top of the screen.
I force shut it down by holding down the power key. When I try to reboot it all I get is a black screen and tones in sets of 3 every 5 seconds.
Here is the kicker. My warranty was up 4 days ago...
Can anyone guide me in the right direction to solving this problem? I am not totally computer illiterate so any pointers would be great.
The tones you hear may indicate bad RAM. Try re-seating the RAM or try new, known-good RAM modules to see if that helps:

Good luck!

How can I get Verizon to return my memory card- There screw up
After screaming about 1x a week with this new pre-paid SAMSUNG phone, I finally was able to get the store to take the phone and replace it. Sadly, I was so frustrated with Verizon for my phone never working, and getting the run around, that I was glad to get the "we will get you a new one".
Wasn't happy that they can't just give me a new one off the wall. (that would be 50 bucks please. (phone was 30 days old).
SO, The guy behind the counter advised me, I would get a new one. Took battery, I asked if things were backed up, and he said "yes", the backup synch was set up. "like OK".
So, removed battery and the lid, and the case I bought for it, took my old phone and said wait for new one. (came in today).
I didn't even think of getting my 8GB memory card from the old phone at the time I left the store.
This was 3 days ago (26th of Dec). Today, my new phone came in, it was not synching, not doing the backup right, and then I realized my memory card was not there.
Nicely called the help desk thinking I was calling the store where i returned the phone. NOPE, got tech support in a different state after 14 minutes of listening to switch witch and running around with button pushing. Just to be told "contact the store diectly".
Headed to store, advised of what happened, and the cheerful guy with hte IPAD, typing your name, pretty much said " to bad". It's goneft
No help. Just me trying to stay calm, after the head-aches with this phone. And now I am out an 8GB memory card, that Verizon, in their haste, never took time to remove (but did the battery), and I forgot to remove it myself.
Now, I want Verizon to replace the memory card. Their phone was bad, every week complained about this phone, and in 30 days, I now had to get it replaced.
I take error in not remembering to get it. BUT, figured the techs behind the scenes would have thought of this.
Anyone know of whom I can contact to ask VZN for a new card? I lost some vital pics and info from my realtor, and have to bite that, but this wouldn't have happened, if I could have gotten some satisfactory service, and I still ended up 3 days without a phone.I admit, I did screw up for not checking. I was just soo steamed with the customer support and going back and forth with phone and offices in Charleston, SC and here in VA, I was just getting frustrated with this phone that i had for 1 week, and couple with the craziness of the hustle trafflc of customers during the holidays.
Just a lot of crazy here, but my new phone is in, I had to get the service center to reset things, as the backup synch wasn't right, and I will get a new card.
I just wanted a new phone that worked, and oversaw the issues. This isn't the first time I had to return a phone, but last time, it was a slower pace, and no issues, and I reminded myself to get the card out.
Got 99% of my contacts. Just wishing there was somehow to track the phone, and have hope, but it was nothing that was life critical.. And cost of new cars is cheap.
Chalk up to "pay attention".... but oh, the frustration of 6 visits to the stores in 32 days I had that phone. Ahh!
Happy New Year, and thanks for the replies.... -
[Solved] Xorg 1.5 screwed up my NVIDIA
Hi,
Today I did a pacman -Syu and I got the newest NVIDIA driver installed and the newest Xorg. Everything broke. Well not exactly everything. But my settings are all screwed up. For a start my screen refuses to load at the normal resolution (1680x1050). I got a default 1024x860 (or whatever it is). Also my colour depth is 16. And regardless of any changes I make in NVIDIA settings manager the changes never stick. Also my compiz-fusion is totally screwed up. When it starts up my screen goes completely white. I have to blindly alt+F2 and run kwin to be able to do anything.
Also my fonts are really small.
Here is my xorg.conf:

hmmm, I have exactly the same problem and I also use the nvidia-96xx.
I noticed that I only get the scrambled text for the lines beyond 20 lines...so if I rescale the height of my window to 20 lines I never get scrambled text and and when I change the height of the window larger then 20 lines, only the 20+ lines get scrambled.

Apple Screwing Customers Who Bought Apple Software Pre-App Store
I bought iWork June 29, 2010. I had downloaded and installed the trial version of iWork and then paid for an activation key.
Last month I bought a new mac book air. Because I downloaded iWork from Apple's website and then purchased and activation key I have no iWork disc.
I contacted Apple to ask for an App Store redemtion code in credit for the iWork license I already purchased (after determining there was no other way to install iWork on my MBA) so that I could install the software on my new machine. To which I was told:
"If you no longer have that trial version on your computer, I'm afraid that you will have to re-purchase the iWork software." -Anthony, iTunes Store Customer Support
So before the App Store I could have re-downloaded iWork from Apple's website and used the activation key to reinstall it on my new laptop.
Now, simply because Apple has changed the way they distribute their software, they say "screw you" to their customers, "pay up again for software you have already purchased".
Thanks Apple...
...What has happened to what used to be the best customer support I had ever experienced?Zachary,
It seems to me that you were talking to the wrong department. The iTunes Store would have nothing to do with this problem. You still have Mac App Store support, AppleCare and your closest Apple Genius Bar to try.
Jerry -
I have the bumper case that screws in so it doesn't fall apart, but i want to take it off. Will the apple store unscrew the case for me? or would i have to go to At&T to have them screw it off?
Hey,
I can confirm what xtremecaron has said, Apple will defo not remove the bumper for you. Best bet is to try different screwdrivers. -
White MacBook dead or dying. Apple Store store screwing me.
I have had an unfortunate event. Two days ago my white MacBook has started to misbehave. I have turned it on, and it powered itself off after a minute. It probably did that about 4-5 times. Eventually, it booted and stayed on for the rest of the day. This has happened with a fully charged battery and plugged-in. Since it has worked for the rest of the day, I did not think more of it. Weird boots have happened before rarely.
Yesterday, it booted fine, but the keyboard was misbehaving. The option key was stuck in the ON postion without being physically pressed. Some letters worked, others created the option+letter key combination.
So, I have taken it to the Apple Store. I have a got a call an hour later saying that he removed the top case and found a small stain in the bottom-right side of the keyboard, which according to him is evidence of liquid damage. The warranty has been voided. The warranty was actually going to expire today on the 14th.
I find this highly suspicious. I have taken great care of it. Besides a scratch or paint transfer on the bottom case next to the exhaust, which I have no idea how it happened, and yellowing of the touchpad, it looks like new. I have read that the MacBooks turn yellow, mine has in less than a month of use. Maybe, due to heat, it has turned yellow or brown inside.
It's pssible they saw that my warranty was going to expire today and thought to screw me. If it's going to expire in one day, why help him?
They want $230. $130 for the top case. $100 for work. I told him to disassemble it further due to the weird boots. I have not yet received a call back if he has found more damage.
I've seen laptops taking a bath. You could float Noah's ark on them. They have major flooding stains from coke, smoothies, and other beverages. I don't drink that suff, nor have I on the day in question, nor did anyone else use it.
It's my only machine. My only means of communication with the planet is my iPhone. Suggestions?
Thank you.So, I thought that I should give an update. After the initial quote for $230 ($130 for the top case and $100 for work) to fix it due to liquid damage, I decided to wait a few days before going back to the Apple Store to research the issue. After a few days, I went to the store. The tech who quoted me the price was not there. When I asked when he will be there, I was told that they can't give out his schedule. One of the Genius Bar employees gave me a new price: $750. A new white MacBook is $900 with the education discount.
When I heard that price, I told him to keep it. I decided to call Apple customer support. I spoke to a few people until I have eventually been redirected to someone called Jen. I explained to her that the Apple Store won't give me a straight answer nor have they proven to me that liquid damage has occurred. She wrote some notes down and said that she will email me a case number. She also said that I should take it back, try to have another tech look at it by speaking to a manager, try to take it to another store, or ship it to a depot. That email never came. She lied to me.
I decided against talking to a manager. There was another person there with an iPod. They told him that they haven't found anything wrong with it, but if he wants to buy a new one and trade the old one, he'll get a 10% discount. He was very disappointed and expected that answer.
Clearly, I think that due to the ***** economy, they are pressured to sell to keep the store afloat and deny warranty claims. I decided against speaking to the manager. He would be the one pressuring them.
I took the laptop back. It was dirty and had a few new scratches. I bought a top case from eBay. It's a factory second grade B, AKA scratched to ****, and some of the metal inside was bended, but I straighten it as much as I could. My old one hand an yellow touchpad, but no scratches. I found a YouTube video on how to disassemble and remove the top case. It's 19 screws and it takes about 5-10 minutes. For that work they were going to charge $100. Since they do this all the time, it probably takes them 10 minutes to disassembly, replace, reassemble. They charge more than a lawyer. What a ripoff!
Once I removed the top case, I was in for a shock. There was NO stain. Also, none of the Liquid Submersion Indicators (LSI) were triggered. Those LSIs are sensitive. They turn pink to red from humidity. Actual liquid does not have to touch them. They were all white. One might think that he was nice enough to clean up liquid residue if that was the case. I very much doubt that. The laptop had dust and hairs in it. If the tech had taken the time to clean up a stain, he would have spent 10 seconds with an air can to blow the dust and hairs away. This leads me to believe that he may not have disassembled the MacBook in the first place. He may have assumed that there was liquid damage on the right side since parts of the keyboard stopped working.
After installing the new top case, everything works. There are no issues whatsoever. I'm going to write an email to Steve Jobs because I've been cheated. -
I need help! my ipod is screwed because i tried to fix it myself
Huh, here is the whole story. I have a fairly new dell computer thats on Windows XP Pro OS. Im not technologically ******** and i go to high school. Around sometime in july i bought my very first ipod (5G U2 Special Ed.). I set it to the auto upgrade setting and transfered all of my cd's into it. Everything was fine until i tried upgrading my ipod for the second time around last week. It downloaded(uploaded, whatever) a fraction of the first new song then it froze. The do not disconnect screen stopped blinking and itunes froze. Then the typical "cannot upgrade mike's ipod, the required file cannot be found" message shows. I click ok and click eject ipod. It re updates it and freezes again. I try the safetly remove hardware thing on the toolbar of windows this time. It tells me it cannot remove the hardware cause its currently in use. Itunes freezes. I restart my computer and the ipod is still frozen at the do not disconnect screen but i do it anyway. It remains frozen. I reset it. I have a busy highschool life and just continued listening to my ipod that worked just fine. I try updating it again later that week and the same situation happens again. I tried again today and it happened again. I read all of the disscussions and forums and find others in my same predicament. Before i actually found the true soultion, i started to restore my ipod. The window says something resembling "please wait a while while your ipod resets itself fully". I see the apple logo and a download bar on the bottom. once downloaded the bar disappears (the logo remains).It stays that way for about an hour. I read another thread about another guy having problems with restoring his ipod that were identical to mine. The solution was to shut down the computer, disconnect your ipod, and try it again. Im lazy and thought i could just remove it and reset it because i thought it was finished restoring itself so i just removed and reset it. The apple logo appears and you hear strange noises like its trying to reboot. Then the noises continue. It appears the ipod is trying to restart again and again. Then the noises stop and the ipod freezes there. Reseting the ipod just restarts the whole process again. I was trapped. Luckily there was an article (id 61584) on this website adressing that same issue. It told me to put it into disk mode and restore it. I connected it onto my computer and followed the steps to put it on disk mode. Apparently i put it in disk mode. My ipod displays a do not dissconnect message in what seemed to be the same color and font as the first gen ipod. I try to restore it and it gives me an error message. I try again and again and it gives me a random error message each time. Now when i reset it, it goes back to disk mode. I screwed up my ipod and fear i may have to service it. The only thing is, i did not buy the protection plan. If you cant tell me how to fix this ordeal at least give me an estimate of how much this will cost to fix it. My parents are already paying for my sisters tuition for college and next year will have to do the same for me(U. of Penn. Baby) They will not be able to afford another ipod.You all probably think im ******** or something right now, but i guess i deserve it. Anything, anything, any advice at all you can give to make my life less stressful.
Oh yeah! in that article (id 61584) the itunes library picture has the band finntroll. I love finntroll! I really cant understand though why a brutal finnish black/folk metal band would be on the sample library. This is also my first post, yeah.
Dell Dimension 8400 Windows XP ProIf u haven't resolved this issue yet, I just did.
What I did:
1. Toggle the hold switch (turn it on and off)
2. Reset to 'Disk Mode'
by pressing the 'Play' and center buttons
simultaneously
(it may take a couple of trials to get it right)
3. Update iPod with latest iTunes in Disk mode.
4. Incase the 'Can't find firmware' error msg is displayed,
follow the instructions in the link given below:

Hi, My Mac is around 2 months old, and I have recently come across a slight problem. I've experienced some slight noises happening such as when I open and close the macbook it makes some sort of clicking noises as if to say the panels are loose or have not been screwed properly... It only happens when pressure is applied e.g. when I am typing I tend to rest the palms of my hand on the two plain sections of the mac (next to the track pad) and this causes some sort of pressure to push down to the connecting panel underneath, this is when the clicking sound happens.
I don't know maybe I'm just expecting too much or it might just be what I think it is, anyway if anyone has experience this issue, feel free to share your point of views or past similar experience. Thanks.Yes.. It's been a while, but I remember thinking the same thing!
Below are a couple of other links where folks reported the same thing!

24" iMac is screwing with my eyes...
This may seem like a joke or like I'm totally ignorant but I have 12 years of professional experience working with Macs.
My eyesight seems to get fuzzy and tired after looking at my 24 inch iMac for a short while. (60 minutes or more) This is the first time I've experienced this and I'm a bit perplexed. I've used every other model of Apple computer and display in the past and have never had problems.
The iMac's resolution is set for the highest res and I've tried playing with brightness and creating a custom color profile to see if it improves. I don't think it's the small size of the text because I have pretty good vision and use a 23 inch display at home. So far nothing has changed with regards to my vision and being able to use the iMac without issues.
I've read about how other devices, such as console video games, can cause problems with some people (headaches, nausea) and they even have warnings on packages about this. Is it possible that the new technology that goes into making the new 24 inch iMac with glossy screen is just screwing with my eyes?alternapop wrote:

No joke. I experienced the same thing with 20" and 24" ALU iMacs. I test-drove both (about one month each) before returning them because of unacceptable color &/or brightness gradients.
I'm a professional software engineer, and spend all day in front of LCD monitors, but never had any eyestrain problems -- at home or at work -- before the ALU iMacs. When I finally traded-in the second ALU for a white 20" C2D, the eyestrain disappeared -- immediately.
I don't think I can blame it on reflections, because the lighting at my home computer desk is close ideal for a glossy screen. Both ALU models were overly-bright (especially the 24"), but Shades.app seemed to cure that problem.
I can't explain it, but it was real -- and I noticed it before reading any related comments/reports from other ALU iMac owners. BTW, I wear reading glasses and have several different strengths for different purposes. I experimented with a few, and none were any better than my usual "computer glasses".

I bought a new Macbook pro in 02/26/2013 from Apple Canadian Ices -003. Than I could not use it, because my cursor uncontrollably was jumping around the screen, I was resumed my trackpad become bulging, Than on11/25/ 2013 they changed my trackpad for free, because was manufactoring defect, but not the bulging battery. They said that is do not needed. Since that my cursor is quiet often quivering, I think my Macbook has serious manufacturing defect. But they said no, during a year period I went to the genius bar at least 15 times, with this and similar problems. I went there yesterday, with different problems, and they said one of the screws came off from my truck pad, therefore they need to fix it and change it. I said: - What, how, what is the real problem? A screw does not comes off just like that? They will change my trackpad again, but not the battery. They said has to rebuild the operation system, I'm saving all of my data right now! I would like to exchange the battery too, or maybe get a new Macbook. My Macbook is 2010 China model. How long I would have this trackpad problem? What are you suggesting?
If it's a 2010 as you say towards the end of your post, it's out of warranty. The battery isn't covered in that case. Why don't you just buy a new battery if that's your concern? If it's a 2013 as you say up at the top, it shouldn't have a bulging battery. How do you know it does? If it really does, ask for the store manager and explain the problem.

I am in iphone **** or better icloud ****. When I try to go ointo settings on the phone a signin prompt pops up continuously with one apple id. I think i've made it that i have a separate icloud and apple id. I am trying to delete the icloud id. I made all the passwords the same so that there should be no problem but the phone won't still take the password. So when i went in again, looking to see if I could delete the icloud, i screwed up answering my security questions and am now unable to enter that icloud id. How long til I can again? Secondly, since the phone won't accept any password, I have tried to delete it. When I do that, it come up with a request for that same password to shut of the locator service. What the heck? I'm frustrated. I just can't get the hang of apple software and itunes seems to be just as bad for me. Any suggestions appreciated ( aside from stomping on it, I've considered it). Tried to take the battery out but not for me, mere mortal, thought might reset. Got sim card out. Whooopeeee.
It sounds like you have the Find my iphone Activation lock for sure. Go to www.icloud.com/find and see if you put in that Apple ID that is coming up and yoru password to see if you are able to sign into the account that way to turn it off. If you are unable to, you will have to contact AppleCare by phone (chat cannot handle account lock outs or forgotten password due to not being able to verify your identity) and see if they can reset it. And are you sure the Apple ID that is coming up yours?

I have an iPhone 4S and use the group texting feature ALL THE TIME. I recently updated my iPad to the latest software and made the colossal mistake of continuing my group messaging from my iPad while connected to wifi. Doing this has successfully screwed but every group text thread I am in, to the point where its very hard for those involved in the thread to keep up. When I initially messaged those I was already engaged in text threads with it created a new thread in their phones replacing my name in their phones with my email. At first this was not a big deal but ever since then the people I am messaging have become increasingly frustrated with how my messages come through. If I am messaged in a group text and respond to it, sometimes when I respond it will create an entirely different thread in my recipients phones. So at that point they have to switch threads in order to read what I wrote. The new thread that my phone creates will send the message under my email not my name (related to the contact they have me saved as in their phones). The worst part about it is that there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why or when my phone will send the message as normal or under my email like it did with my iPad. I haven’t messaged from my iPad since these problems immediately began a month ago but the issues still continue. I have tried everything to get this to stop, I’ve turned off my wifi, I’ve had my friends delete the threads that my messages create in their phones. I’ve had them delete my email in their contact lists and nothing has worked. Can you help me? Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Note: My phone message no different whatsoever. All the threads have remained the same. The issue is what it is doing to the people that I am messaging.
Best Regards
Rick Mulhern
Message was edited by: Rickapplehelp19I have this identical problem. For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad. Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something. Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads. I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time) Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc. There still hasn't been a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.

After upgrading from Lion to Yosemite my iPhoto wouldn't work because it "needed to be upgraded" so I tried to upgrade by got the message that I couldn't upgrade b/c someone else bought it or it was deleted. I deleted my iPhoto app on my iPad about 1 week ago but my iPhoto and 1000s of pix were fine. What's up? Did I screw up by deleting the app?
No, the versions of iPhoto on the iPad and on OS X are totally different.
What Apple ID are you using for the Mac App Store? Who else has access to that Apple ID, or what possible other Apple IDs could be in use? It's possible you'll need to purchase iPhoto to get the upgrade, though I'd think Software Update should offer you the correct version. -
All of the text between them are screwed up. They cannot text just one. The text goes to and comes from each. Very annoying. Please help
Is it actually texting that is the issue or iMessage?
If it's iMessage... then you need a unique iCloud ID for each device otherwise it will do exactly what you are experiencing. -
I've had a lot of issues getting a reliable status out of Verizon. See the previous posts here and here. Needless to say, I'm fed up. Finally, after being told that my phone would definitely arrive on 9/19, my card was actually charged on 9/17. That seemed promising. The order status updated to the typical "Processing, check back tomorrow" message. The order actually appeared when I logged into my Verizon account for the first time. So I waited all day and when I woke up on 9/18...the status did actually change. The status changed to "Ship by 10/7". I about lost it.
I got Verizon on the phone, the first time via the Internet Orders phone number. The guy basically told me that they didn't have a tracking number and that their system had a lot of issues and due to the overwhelming demand they had to delay some of the orders. I tried to get more info and see if there was any chance I would get my order 9/19, and was told "No, that's just the way it is". So I tried calling 611, talked to another CSR. They told me pretty much the same thing and that I would be stuck waiting. I was livid. But at that point, I was done. Done calling, done posting, I just resigned myself to the fact I would be waiting weeks to get my order and that I would be switching my carrier at some point due to the total lack of knowledgeable customer service.
I checked the status again on a whim, around 6pm EST. It actually changed again...this time the "Ship by 10/7" date went away, and it changed to "Shipped", with a UPS tracking number. The tracking number was actually a link that pointed to FedEx (seriously, they can't get anything right). I looked up the number on UPS's site and found out it was shipping from Memphis, TN via UPS Next Day Air Saver, and it listed my correct delivery city (I was hesitant to believe it, because I've been given a FedEx number before by a CSR that was bogus and shipping to another state). The package says it will be delivered 9/19 by 3pm, and has moved from Memphis, TN to Louisville, KY.
I'm hopeful I'll actually get my phone tomorrow, and not a gift-wrapped pile of...something...in a Verizon box. I wouldn't put it past Verizon to find a way to screw this up still, but this is the most promising things have looked thus far. To all those checking the order status every day for the next couple weeks...the best advice I have is just don't believe it. At all. I've had dates showing 9/19, 10/14, 10/7. I had CSR's guarantee delivery on a date, and others telling me I'd be waiting weeks and there was nothing they could do. I've had a response via Twitter saying I would definitely receive my order on 9/19 and a DM on this forum telling me the Twitter user was wrong. I had the date change after the card was charged. I've had a fake order number sent to me from an actual Verizon number via a text just to get me off the phone. I've been given a FedEx tracking number for someone else's order to get me off the phone. I've had the absolute worst customer service experience I've ever had in my life. Before this, I thought Verizon was the best carrier out there, and this destroyed all confidence that anyone working there in customer service has a clue about what's going on behind the scenes.
So yes...Verizon..."I understand how exciting this can be." Just not in a way that reflects positively on you.I've got more conflicting responses to add to the list:
Via Twitter from @vzwsupport:"Great news Matt. Your pre-order is ordered correctly & is scheduled to ship 9/19 via FedEx. No other info is until it ships. ^VC"
Via direct message on these forums from @saraho_vzw:"Thank you very much for getting back to me. I know it's exciting to be waiting for this phone and I'm sure you want to know exactly when to expect it. I must apologize because the email date that you received in that confirmation is incorrect and this was due to some system issues we were having at the time these orders were placed. I am seeing the correct delivery date for your order is 10/7, and I'm so sorry for the confusion and delay. -Sarah"
Upon replying to @saraho_vzw and asking why the response from @vzwsupport conflicted with her response:"If I received both of those dates I'd be confused too! 10/7 is the correct date. I'm fortunate enough to work right alongside ^VC and she was not aware of the issues going on with our system at the time the order was placed. I've made her aware of this so others are not misinformed. -Sarah"
So if the last message is correct, I'm not going to have my phone until 10/7, and Verizon's entire checkout process and confirmation emails completely misrepresented the actual date I will receive my phone. I've asked them to re-mediate the issue but I'm not confident they will meet their original agreed upon delivery dates whatsoever. This is absolutely horrible customer service. Advertising a deliver by date of 9/19 prevented me from going elsewhere to get my order fulfilled. And no...it's not 'exciting to be waiting for this phone'. It's frustrating. We had an agreement when I placed the order and Verizon is failing to meet the agreed upon terms without any explanation other than 'issues' in their system, and claiming they have no control to escalate the order and correct the ship date. I'm done. -
Every order I've ever placed, there's been something that happened or is messed up. My latest is no different.
I ordered a 64gb space grey iphone 6 plus on 9/26 and received 2 emails, one with the order info and my info and one asking me to confirm the order within so many days. I did right away, it asked for my 6 digit SS# and told me everything was good. I was looking at the email and noticed the girl forgot to upgrade my data since I was doing the edge program, so I called back and got a machine right away. Telling my i needs to confirm my order... What? Ok... So I did, and at the end it asked me to "enter the authentication number(I think that's what it was, but I know it wasn't the confirmation) that was emailed or mailed to you" well I looked at both emails and neither had any number it was asking for. I thought this was odd because I have Already confirmed the order, so I checked the preorder number that was given to me in the email and it kept saying it would ship 11/7. Well I called on 10/29-30 to see what was going on and the lady told me there was something wrong with my order... Of course....she cancelled my previous order and i basically had to start over.. Well she promised me I would still be able to hold my spot and receive my phone when I was originally supposed to. But my email says 11/21 or something like that. That is absolutely ridiculous. I haven't heard anything back and im beyond ****** off right now about this. If this situation isn't made right, I'm gone and done with Verizon. I'm a good customer who pays a lot of money with Verizon. I always pay on time and have never missed a paymen. I expect better than this and like I said, this isn't the first time Ive had an issue with an order. All im asking for is to not screw up my orders, is that really too much to ask?
-WilliamIf I would have ordered it FROM Apple, then I would take it up with them, but I didnt. Verizon is the one who sold me the phone so I will continue to contact them. <<Comment removed >> Verizon has already sent other people their phones and those other people ordered the same time and after I did, so please, fall back and get a clue.
I guess even though I bought my BMW from VW dealer, and have my warranty through this dealership, whenever I have an issue with my car, I should just contact BMW and have them deal with it right?! <<Comment removed >>
