JJMack and normfb - Thank you for your answers. Actually the answer of normfb would work for me better, since I was using the transformation values for dimensions only. Now I just CommandClick on the layer and I have what I need without subtracting.
Thank you both of you.

Another Verizon (Iphone) Data Plan Rip off!

Once again Verizon is trying to rip off their customers by giving them no choice when it comes to data plans if you want an Iphone. Just like they tried to force data plans on Feature Phones last year,now if you want an Iphone you must spend $29.99 a month. Thats great if you spend all day on your phone,but some of us don't want unlimited data. We do want an Iphone though. That's the way to take care of your customers VERIZON!!!!

Dueceko131 don’t pay attention to those two clowns. Just because the $30 dollar plan works for them doesn’t mean it works for everyone. To make a statement that if you want a 150mb plan then you don’t need a smartphone just goes to show how little common sense they have. Must be they haven’t heard of WiFi. If the unlimited works for you great, but there are a lot of other people out there that will just be wasting money. Looks like verizon has a couple of fanboys here.
KUDOS to ktm250.... I am sick of the fanboys!! They are getting old and annoying !!!!!
I for one know I only need 150mb and want the iphone because of the great screen and its functions. I own a itouch and a ipad and manage them greatly with only wifi. I just always wished my itouch would be able to make a call so I don't have to carry both the itouch and a cell phone. Well here is my chance.. A iphone. But I an not able to pay extra for a $30 data package.

To restore from an iCloud backup you have to erase the phone and start over. To do this, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup assistant again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. There is no other way to do this.
Be sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this is likely to take some time to finish.

Hi, I was wondering more about the apple recycling program

Hi I was wondering more about the recycling program

If you read the link I provided to you then you know if you mail it in you won't get anything back. If you buy a new one at an Apple Retail Store you will get 10% off the cost of the new one.

Do I finally have the proof we are being ripped off on DATA?

I believe some jetpacks are targeted some are not. It may be random or it may be based on your data usage. If you use a lot of data (Let's say 10 Gigs per month) it is easier to sneak in a Gig or two. Here is my situation. I had two Jetpacks. My MIL lives on our property in a separate house. She uses internet very sparingly, mostly for e-mail. I added a jetpack for her use. For a year she averaged about 2 or 3 hundred MEGABYTES per month. In August I decided to upgrade my phone to a Samsung Smartphone. I was able to use the Smartphone for my own Hot Spot. So, I turned off my MIL jetpack that was no longer under Contract and gave her my Jetpack that is still under Contract.
Keep in mind I use about 10 to 12 Gigs a month on the internet, my MIL never used more than a couple hundred Mebabytes per month. So guess what happened?
My MIL suddenly went from using 2-300 Megs a month to using 2.4 GIGS a month.
I can only conclude my Jetpack has been either hacked or Verizon pads the usage to get me to go over and add another 2 gigs. I checked the daily usage for the month and there was a sudden 1.6 GIG data usage in a 24 hour period. It occurred on the 22nd of September. I know my MIL did not use the Data. This usage was tied to the Jetpack that I have been using for the last year and consistently had unusual data usages. Of course Verizon denies this. It is always my fault. Now I guess it is my MIL's fault. I am seeing Data usage when the jetpack is turned off. She checks her e-mail about three times a week.
I can understand there might be a delay in the data use report but when the Jetpack is turned off for three days and still shows data usage during that period I think it is a lot more than a "delay" Someone is using our data and Verizon is charging us for data we are not using. Verizon can deny it all they want but I believe my experience is proof.
I have talked to Verizon and they are sending me another Jetpack to use in hopes it is the jetpack that is at fault. It will get a new SIMM card.
I don't think it is the Jetpack at fault. But we will see. Personally I believe Verizon is capable of sending me a new one then stopping padding my usage so it appears it was a faulty Jetpack. Either that or the new one will have a different "address" and who ever is hacking it won't have access until it gets hacked again.
In either case there is a real problem with this entire DATA system.
BTW. When I upgraded to a Smartphone I bought the phone rather than go on a contract plan because I wanted to be able to switch to AT&T if this continued when my Jetpack contract was up. The Verizon 4G coverage is very spotty where I live but AT&T is better. I explained this to the salesperson. The salesperson agreed with me, said he understood. What the salesperson failed to mention is the $600.00 smartphone he sold me would not work on anything but VERIZON so I would still be stuck with Verizon unless I wanted to spend another $600.00 for a phone to switch to AT&T. I think this shows the mindset of Verizon and its employees.
So you might ask, why do I stay with Verizon? Simple, right now it is the only game in town where I live until my Jetpack Contract is up and I decide to take the $600 loss on the Phone and switch to AT&T. Had I known the phone would not work on AT&T I might have made the switch when I upgraded to the Smartphone and just kept the Jetpack account until that contract was up.

When it comes to the issue ofbthe smart phone all you need to do is unlock it to accept the new simm card. Congress has made it legal and now requires company to provide either an app for unlocking the phone or, an unlocking service. Simply download and run the app or take it into your service providers store and it can be unlocked. Hope this is of some help.

How does an account holder return their old phone when they edged up through the Verizon Edge Program? I have wasted way too much of my time trying to do this and am certainly disgusted with Verizon's communication and website for this.

I have been searching this helpless website for 3 nights after work trying to figure out how to get my old phone back to "WHEREVER" it needs to go. I am soo frustrated, I'm ready to throw this phone away and forget it. I've read through posts and tried the links left to only be taken where I've already been, with NO LUCK AT ALL. I've even called verizon myself to get, yet again, NO HELP!! Can anyone give me the real answer as to what to do.???
I've got the box I received my new phone in, with the plastic bag for the old phone and some papers the clearly read, "Keep this for your records" nothing that says RETURN LABEL. Don't have an address, either!

This is the same response other community users have gotten, there is not option to print a label. This is also where li was told to go look for the receipt when I card
Verizon. THERE IS NOTHING THERE TO PRINT. I've tried to include a link to that page, so you can view yourself, but I'm thinking it won't post in this community discussion.
So, with this, I'm still stuck in the same situation... HOW DO I RETURN THIS PHONE? WHY CANT VERIZON EMAIL ME A LABEL DIRECTLY???

While playing a game or on Facebook, sometimes the game or program just goes off. Then I have to start over. It seems to be doing it more often. Does anyone else have this problem and can you tell me how to fix it?

What makes the I-pad kick off while playing games or on Facebook?

Addition:
Stupid thing is my computer works fine only internet connected stuff causes TOTAL freezes: nothing works. <CTRL>+<ALT>+<DEL> doesnt react. <ESC> neighter. I can only get my computer to react by "killing" it completely with power shut off ("pull the plug") and starting up from scratch.
My partners computer is working fine. He also has updated to V10.0.2 And can play the game or do anything else. It happens on my laptop with Windows vista.
Now Im typing this on an other computer. So the computer details of this one are NOT RELEVANT. Please ignore.
Because of TOTAL freeze I get NO troubleshooting information.
The whole screen is a still. Sorry.
So, now Im pretty sure its FF V10.0.2 cause we've ruled out pretty much everything else and before I go through the whole installation process... This is my LAST hope.
ANYBODY??? PLEASE HELP ME???

Tell me about the iphone recycle program

I want to know about trading in my iphone. I have an upgrade and I have an iphone 5 S and I want the 6 but none of the ATT&T stores have it in stock so I want to know if the apple store will trade in my phone with my upgrade?

The details are at: http://www.apple.com/recycling/gift-card

Will the Verizon Edge program be available for business customers?

non profit that's looking to upgrade without paying the full amount.

kjhowland

Opinion on the "Verizon Edge" program please

I am contemplating on signing up for the Edge. My phone and my daughters phone are crap now and we seriously need to upgrade but aren't due until May of 2015. My monthly bill is already ridiculous, I really can't have it costing more. So of course the incentive for the edge cutting back your monthly bill looks appealing, but is it really true? If I have 3 lines and pay 200 a month, will my bill be lower if I switch to the edge AND upgrade to a better phone (iPhone6 for me & iPhone 5c for my daughter)?????? Opinions?

Actually you should check facts before you make statements.
If you calculate the total cost of ownership over 2 years and you have a plan with 10 GB or more of data, you will almost always end up paying less with Edge than you will with a Contract plan. You will do this and actually have lower up front costs. Don't let any prices fool you, you are paying for the full price of the phone whether you do a contract or Edge.
Math:
Edge iPhone 6 $27.08/month for 24 months, $80/10GB/month x 24 months, $15/month access fee x 24 months
Total cost with Edge $2930
Contract cost - iPhone 6 $199 plus $30 upgrade fee, $80/10GB/month x 24 months, $40/month access fee x 24 months
Total cost with Contract $3109
Contract is $179 more expensive than Edge! You just think and are getting fooled into thinking you are only paying $199 for the iPhone,
If you have a plan with less than 10 GB, the favor is in getting a 2 year contract.

The Great BT Mobile Broadband RIP OFF

Here's the scenario, I have £13.00 credit in my account, I'm going out in an hour or so, I buy a 1gb bundle, confirm, my account is £3.00 now the bundle is submitted, wait upto 30 mins. Nothing, no bundle, no text, nothing. So I topup £20.00 buy another bundle and instantly it appears in my account. So a 1gb bundle actually cost £30.00. This is the third time this has happened over the few years I've had bt bb, altho previously I blamed myself thinking I had done something wrong, not confirmed or something, this time I waited to see nothing happen. Thanks BT

And again today £23.00 credit, buy a 1gb bundle and nothing, buy another 1gb bundle and instantly it appears, now £3.00 credit. I'm surprised you're closing this 'service' BT, seems a real money spinner to me!

Recycling program - total scam by Verizon?

Anybody else follow the trade-in instructions to a tee, only to receive $36 instead of the $200? I feel ripped off, and am unable to get any response from the recycling team people. It's a joke.

So I followed the instructions from another thread and contacted my Regional manager from this link Region Leadership | Verizon Wireless
I sent him an email describing the situation and I got a call back from his secretary a couple hours later. about a 2 second conversation with her and she credited my account the balance. I suggest everyone does the same as corporate is apparantly aware of the situation.
Of course hours after I get my credit the Trade-in support finally sends me a canned response, same as others have gotten.

Need clarification on the Recycling Program

Hi everyone, I just need some clarification on the iPod Recycling Program, as I have never done it before. I'm want to use the Recycling Program to get a discount on the iPod Touch 5g. Now my question is, and it's probably a stupid question, but if I bring in my four older iPods I have laying around does Apple give me a %10 discount on EACH of them, adding up to %40?

The first iPod had the firewire port on the top & the scroll wheel actually moved.
I guess my first iPod was a 3rd Generation:

Can i have more information about verizon edge program

What is the deal with Verizon edge program? Does anyone know that if you have 4 lines on your account if just one person on your account wants to participate in the Verizon edge program, is this possible? or does everyone on your account have to participate. Also, I have a few more questions, Let pretend I sign up for Verizon edge and do not want to edge up after 30 days with paying at least 60 percent of the phone that I just got off (which I think is kind of pointless) So I continue paying on my phone for 20 months, then the Verizon edge program is over in 24 months correct? Then after that, then could I go back to new every two program if I wanted to, after Verizon edge contract ends? Then I can keep the phone that I paid for correct? This is all really strange to me. If I pay full retail price for a phone, I do not want to give it back to Verizon for them to resell. It sounds like a leasing program to me. Why would you want the continued payments on a phone, like a never ending credit card bill. Anyway, all I want the Verizon edge for is get an early upgrade and a payment plan for a phone, then pay off the phone and keep it for the remainder of the Verizon edge plan, then end it.
Also, I do not have very good luck with phones working the entire time, that is what concerns me the most. I have a s3 currently and it is completely messed up for the past couple of months. The phone is acting nuts, drops calls, no reception, cuts out, powers down at 46 percent. So how is this going to happen if im the Verizon edge program and something happens to my phone, then I cant put a back up phone on my account for a replacement.? If the phone is defective and one of the stipulations of the plan is to return your phone in good working condition, then how would one do this is this situation happened?

The Verizon Edge payment option is basically a "leasing" program. The New Every Two program was retired in 2011.

Apple's iPod recycling program apply to iPhone

My 4th generation iPod finally died on me and I'm thinking of using this as my excuse to replace it with an iPhone. I'm wondering if the iPod recycling program (http://www.apple.com/environment/recycling/), w/ it's 10% rebate on the purchase of a new iPod, might apply to an iPhone purchase...?

The words you quoted in your intial post
"Bring your old iPod to an Apple Retail Store and receive a 10 percent discount on the purchase of a new iPod.* "
sat it all. Turn in an old iPod (except Shuffle) and get a discount on a new iPod.

Is the Verizon Recycle Program a Rip-off? It may be.
