Iphone4 (16G, black or white, BRAND NEW not REFURB) is at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club for $147.00

Bought my Iphone4 earlier this month for $199 at Verizon store and found out Father's Day week that the Iphone4 (16G, black or white, BRAND NEW not REFURB) is at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club for $147.00
Price at Apple, Verizon, etc. is $199???
What gives??
Plus, Verizon store would NOT price match and manager was not interested in my business...
DontGetMeWrong, I love my Iphone4, but I hate Apple's games as well as Verizon's games on prices/price fixing!!

Thanks for the responses, MrEcted and vereyezuhn.
I can understand how some people would be "fearful" of dealing with a third-party seller because of the reasons you stated.
For me, I don't let fear stop me from these types of opportunities. I do my research and I search for the best deal and just make sure that there are no surprises from the third-party seller (read everything especially the fine print and compare contracts) if they have a better deal. Caveat emptor (Let the buyer beware).
With that being said, I can say that all of my BestBuy, RadioShack, and Wirefly contracts were actual verbatim contracts from Sprint, Alltel, and Verizon and the deal with Wal-Mart is the same verbatim contract as Verizon's with the only exception being that the Iphone 4 is $52 less at Wal-Mart.
I hope this information helps people out there and I hope some people will go to Wal-Mart or Sam's Club instead of Apple or the Verizon store to buy their Iphone 4.
Cheers!!
Glad you do your research before purchasing, as a lot of people don't. And then they come on here and complain that they got "scammed" by 3rd party retailers and say it's Verizon's fault. But those are the people who don't actually read what they sign.
I think those 3rd party deals are great if you're willing to go outside Verizon and you know what you're getting into. I believe it's Amazon.com that has the stipulation of not being able to change anything on your account for 181 days after upgrading - that can be a deal breaker for some people.

Thanks this was very useful.. I have a brand new iphone 4s unlocked version from singapore and I am having the same problem constant network fluctuations, no service, call failed, invalid sim, sim failure, bars fluctuating from 5 - 3 - 2 - 1, no signal/ba

I have a brand new iphone 4s unlocked version from singapore and I am experiencing constant network fluctuations on my iphone , no service, call failed, invalid sim, sim failure, bars fluctuating from 5 - 3 - 2 - 1, no signal/bars searching etc... Ifeel miserable after trying out all the options changed multiple sims, tried multiple carriers, restored the phone back and have set-up as new device but the problem does not get solved... its is so frustrating that after investing on a world's most expensive phone you cannot enjoy the calling features which the phone offers which is the main thing you own the phone for.. Rest of the things are working.. The funniest part I am not able to make calls or receive calls but can access the internet.. I have tried every possible thing and really very frustrated with this iphone of mine...I hope the problem gets solved.. would anyone have any solutions to this problem.. Does it mean one should never update software as I hear that after updating to IOS.5.1 the problem has started coming and same has been with there.... Apple says its a hardware failure which is very difficult to digest as sometimes I get 5 bars and able to make and receive calls but 95% of the time I am unable to. If anyone has any solution I will be very happy if he or share can share the same. Many thanks. its so disgusting to experience this on top of this apple does not support global warranty for the phone as you need to go to the country from where you bought the phone for replacement.. Truly sad state of affairs.. very very very dissappointing.

Have a look at this it might help

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

Brand New iPad 3 has a jiggly screen and black boxes across the screen in different apps

My mother purchased a brand new iPad 3 about 1 week ago. The screen has begun to shake while she is in the apps. (This is not the shaking that icons do on when you hold an app down so you can rearrange.) When this happens the screen will go blank when her hand is near it and reappear when she moves it away. Also, in some apps, I have experienced this in the App Store and Facebook, black boxes cover the screen so that you cannot see what is behind them.
We have tried shutting it down completely, but that doesn't seem to be a fix.
I have been searching for others with this problem and haven't found any. Help would be appreciated. Given the sporadic nature (but often enough to be a bother), I'm hesitant to go to the Genius Bar for fear it wouldn't do it then.

I've had the same problem with Big Black squares covering the screen. And a few times the screen has split vertical in the middle and pushed everything in the on half a little down, making it very difficult to read text as the lines was cut in half.
I first experienced it in Mail, and then in Safari. I noticed that it is only covering content, not the App bar and When I scrolled down, the boxes were staying On the spot On the page. I figure it must be a software problem as it moves alting with the rest of the content, so I tried uenig Chrome instead, but yesterday the same ting happened.
I have tryed to take a screen dump, but it gets completely black
Its not warm When the problem occours.
Anyone with a solution?

Hi again,
I have lost count of the number of posts here, in addition to my direct experience with my clients, where FileVault is discovered to be the main cause of whatever symptoms are being experienced. I refuse to turn it on on any of my systems and will always, always advise against turning it on to anyone who asks me.
I would recommend that you initially back up all your data to external media (either external hd or DVD-R) and then attempt to turn off FileVault. I purposely used the word attempt because, more often than not, even this can cause issues. If you are unable to turn FileVault off, indeed even if successful, I would recommend that you carry out an Erase and Install using your MacBook Pro's system disks.
In short, my message is ---- stay away from FileVault.
If you require to protect your files then the best way to achieve this is via Disk Utility and creating an encryted image. More details here:

Brand new laptop, tried to install Ram upgrade and computer won't turn on (no bios, nothing)

I got my new qosmio x70 yesterday with a ram chip I ordered online. When I install the chip into either ram slot, the computer won't boot. It won't even turn on.
When I click the power button, the light aournd the button turns on for a moment then off again. That's it.
I thought maybe I could make a bios change, but there are NO memory options in bios. I also tried both ram chips from my old Qosmio (3 years old) and they had the same problem. Any ram that touches my machine disables it. Am I going to have to send back my brand new toy already!?

The memory you posted may work, looks like the same specs but I don't want to be the one to tell you it will work incase you have trouble with that one.
Here are memory spec terms from the crucial site to help understand what they mean.
Memory spec terms
If you're not sure if a module is right for your system, use the Crucial Memory Advisor tool for a list of guaranteed compatible modules.
NON-ECC/Non-parity— Most desktop and laptop computers take NON-ECC or Non-parity memory.
ECC/Parity— ECC or parity modules look for errors in data and are most often found in servers and other mission-critical applications used by large networks and businesses.
Unbuffered— Most PCs and workstations use unbuffered memory which is faster than registered memory.
Registered/Buffered— Registered or buffered modules delay all information transferred to the module by one clock cycle. This type of memory is primarily used in servers.
Fully buffered— Designed for next-generation servers, features an advanced memory buffer.
CL— CAS (column address strobe) latency, which is the number of clock cycles it takes before data starts to flow after a command is received. Lower CL is faster. Modules with different CL can be mixed on a system, but the system will only run at the highest (slowest) CL.
Component configuration— (For example: 64Meg x 64) Indicates the size of the memory chip components on the module.
Voltage — For example 2.6V. Indicates the power used by the module. The lower the better

Itunes asks to update my brand new ipod touch.. I do and now it wont work at all!!!

just got my brand new ipod touch ... working good then itunes wants to update so I do now my ipod doesnt work at all! all I get is the apple and a line on face and wont even turn off!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Sent a brand new U500-ST6322 to Depot but returned with same problem + hard disk re-imaging

I bought this Satellite about 4 months ago and noticed the fan was very noisy (posted a msg on this forum about it). I called Toshiba Technical Support who said this computer had been having fan issues so they asked me to send it to the Depot, which I did. The depot worked on it and returned it with the following note:
"Replaced fan.Hard drive failed test with multiple bad sectors. Replaced defective hard drive. Re-imaged with default software. Set DMI/Updated Bios/Set BOOT defaults. Blew out heatsink/fan and unit. Unit was tested and passed all tests".
So obviously the guys worked on it, only the noise is still the same. The computer basically makes one think there is a vacuum cleaner working not too far in the background. So I am not really sure if Toshiba and I thought there was the same thing wrong with the fan. And I'm not sure what to do next. The fan noise is really distracting and you'd think a brand new machine would be a little quieter. My 6-yr old Dell is quieter.
About the HD re-imaging... I had backed-up my stuff before I sent it to the Depot, so that turned out to have been useful. When they say they re-imaged the HD, does it mean they re-formatted it in some way but kept the same unit? Would there be a way for me to get the stuff from my "old" HD back? There're no important documents, but just thinking about all the programs I need to install again makes me wonder if I could somehow recover the old hard drive. Also, I see a lot of posts with people having sent their computers in and having had the same thing done. Is it normal for a relatively new computer to have issues with the HD? By the way, when I worked with the computer I had no HD issues, at least nothing I could tell.
Thanks for any advice!

from what you put that they did to your machine they replaced the hdd and used the recovery media to reimage the drive back to factory. hdd and other hardware failures either happen very early or very late in their lives. so it is not uncommon to have a hdd that fails right out of the gate but it is much more common for them to fail later. as for getting your old hdd back i wouldnt count on it. it has probably already been sent away to be recycled.
you may not have had any problems at all with the hdd but from what you wrote that toshiba said it had multiple bad sectors. if these bad sectors are too big they will just replace it since those parts of the disc cant be used.

Premiere Pro on brand new MacBook retina 11,3 2014 crash and glitch

Ok, I've read a lot of post about the CUDA compatibility on new MacBookPro, and i don't have installed and don't use the cuda driver but only the OpenCL,
I have the MacBook Pro 11,3, 16GB Ram with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB and 2,8 GHz Intel Core i7 Yosemite 10.10.2 installed on a 1TB APPLE SSD
It is brand new and i have only my AdobeCC installed;
Now I think it's not normal to see glitch on screen or jerky video during the video playback and crash of my premiere pro (2014.2 release, 8.2.0 (65) Build) or I miss something about the Yosemite compatibility?
PS. working with normal 1080p files, DSLR or similar not over 50 Mbps 422
Thanks!
Vito.

Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed
