Just when I thought the service couldn't get any worse...

I "upgraded" to 150Mb fios last September. Since then I've experienced consistent Internet service interruptions.
My calls to Verizon service tech support have been met with their replacing my router, ONT box, and continued assurances the issue would be resolved quickly. The latest time consuming interaction occurred this morning when their tech support engineer told me they would be working on the problem today.
Now I don't have phone dial tone. Could that be related to either verizon trying to fix the problem or perhaps some tech support guy being a bit vindictive?
I'm also wondering how much longer it will be, beyond the 30 minutes I've aloready been sitting on hold, before I can talk to someone at Verizon about the phone issue.

Same here. I upgraded awhile back to HS and have had problems with drops. However, it has become much worse. While watching a movie(s) from Amazon.com via Roku (wireless connection). The connection some time slows down until the movie freezes and I have to go out and return. Most of the time the connection just drops. I get a message from the Roku player to check my connection. I try several times without success. Then I notice the Internet connection light just goes out. Turn off/on the router "hope" the Internet light comes back on. After severe power off/power on it might stay on.
I had to do this so many times last night I just gave up watching the movie. I ended up connecting the Roku directly to the router with a cable. This worked better but the connection still went down twice. Very, very frustrating. I hesitate calling Tech Support because their "send a signal" very seldom works. Then they offer to send out a tech (with me possibly getting charged). Finally, the noise on my phones (yes using the filter on both) is so bad along with the "false rings" I just unplug the phones.

Hi mivanp,
24 days definitely sounds a bit excessive, especially if you haven't been contacted. If you haven't already done so, please fill out our contact webform (you can find the link in my profile under "about me") so we can get your details and check into this for you.

As if my problem couldn't get any worse...

I just started a topic here; http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2148155&tstart=0 about my problems with my machine, but now a new thing has turned up that may or may not be related...
all of a sudden now I cannot copy files from my main disk to my 2nd internal drive. It comes up with the unexpected error, error code 8065.
A Google search on that says it's an old problem that was resolved many moons ago.
However I can copy files from the 2nd drive to the main drive no problem, but it will not let me copy from the main to the 2nd.
What is going on!?
Please help, thanks

Hi Texas Mac Man...
Both drives are formatted the same. All of a sudden, after running a repair disk with disk utility while booted up from the Mac OS X 10.4 install DVD, (at which it could not repair it) I had problems with it. Minutes before I was able to copy a file to the drive no problem, only after running first aid on the drive and restarting the problems occurred.
However, that being said.
It fixed itself after I restarted into Safe Boot and restarted back to normal mode. While in Safe Boot mode, it still gave me the same error as before when trying to copy a file to the drive. I thought all was lost but then I restarted the computer back into normal mode.. and now all of a sudden like magic it is working again, and I can drag and drop and copy and paste into the drive as before
Ah the mysteries of the universe...
Thanks for replying though!

Very slow start when initially entering the service ticket in Web UI (2007)

We seem to encounter a very slow start when initially entering the service ticket in Web UI (2007). Once in all seems speedy enough. I don't have my access arrange for the Service marketplace (OSS notes) yet so can't check if there is a known solution, which I suspect there is. Has anyone encountered this problem and possibly resolved it?.

However, I was wondering whether anyone has come across any other small changes that may have a major effect. A quick-win I guess you call it. From bitter experience I know there are rarely quick wins when it comes to optimisation due to the amount of re-testing etc.
But any further advice would be welcome.

I recently upgraded my internet service with Comcast for faster internet. When I user ethernet connection I get 50 MB download speed....when I use the wireless connection I get 10-20 MB speed. I have an airport extreme...3-4 years old. Why?

I recently upgraded my internet service with Comcast for faster internet. When I use an ethernet connection I get 50 MB download speed....when I use the wireless connection I get 10-20 MB speed. I have an airport extreme...3-4 years old. Why is the speed so different and are there settings I can change to increase the wireless speed?

If your supposed to be getting 20 Mb/s down via your ISP and both Mac's are not getting that on the SpeedTest, then obviously your router appears to be the cause.
Connect one Mac directly to the ISP's modem, power off/wait 30 seconds/then power on, then power on the Mac. The ISP will connect directly to the Mac, then run a SpeedTest.
Then repeat the same for the other Mac. If both Mac's have a problem then it's possibly the ISP, the modem, your lines to them or on your property, or both Mac's are messed up.
You'll have to keep searching for the cause. Call your ISP and ask then to run a test to see if your getting your 20 Mb/s to your modem, that should clear part of the problem.

My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. Please help.

My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. In the past when I have updated successfully, the spinning circle would show me an indicator of time left on the update. I no longer have this Indicator. The circle just spins and times out and nothing happens. I've reset the iPad in the settings menu, reset the router, logged in and out of Apple id, powered ithe iPad off and on, and tried a couple other "fixes" that I've read online. So far no luck. AAny help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks!

How much free space do you have? If it is low, installers may not be able to run properly.

I want to add Narration to my movies. I've watched the Elements Guided Help for Narration, and closely followed their procedure. But when I click the RECORD tab, I get an error message. "Your current audio hardware selection dos not have any input channels." My question, therefore: Do I need to buy an external microphone? I have an HP Pavilion Laptop, running WIndows 8.1. I thought I had a built-in microphone. But ,maybe not. Please help. Also, WHAT KIND of microphone - exactly - should I buy? Thanks for your help.

Go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and ASIO tab and click on it.
Under the Input tab, make sure that you have your microphone selected.
Please let us know the outcome.

When I launch the app store, I get "minecraft." It will not allow me to return to the "featured" menu. I've tried rebooting / killing the app, but nothing has worked. Any insight?

I have also tried the fixes offered in this forum such as using the "Other" mail in setting up the gmail accounts, and not using the dedicated gmail setting. I also went to google and signed in and enable the additional devices. I had the same problems with the original account I set up for gmail, but it corrected when i went to using the "Other" instead of the Gmail button. I was able to set up the new gmail accounts on my iphone without problem and on my husband's ipad1 for his gmail account. Just the ipad 2 is giving me problems. Again, thanks for any suggestions.

An Exchange account is an e-mail account serviced my a Microsft Exchange server... Typically a corporate e-mail account. It used to be possible to configure a free gmail account as an Exchange account, but it is no longer possible to set one up that way.

It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays.
System Preferences can also be found in the Hard drive -> Applications folder.
Resetting the PRAM can help bring displays back to factory settings if you can't find what you need:
