Lifeline Service removed and Unlimited Local Calling added, what gives?

I received quite a shock when I received my bill recently. Apparently, my Lifeline Service was removed and Unlimited Local Calling was added instead, tacking on an additional $12 to my landline bill. What gives? I do plan to call Verizon to investigate the matter on Monday, but I am wondering why this is. Is it because Lifeline Service requires that I renew after a number of years, or what?

I'm afraid that's the kind of answer you can only get from Verizon. It looks like your issue may require a Verizon representative to review your account details. Please contact our customer service team via live chat or email at:

Ring duration & voicemail are all controlled by your carrier. Your issue seems to be voicemail...doesn't appear to be setup on your phone. I'm not aware of any carrier that permits a cell phone to ring longer than 30 ~ 40 seconds, so that appears to be normal. Contact your carrier as it looks like your issue is voicemail.

Do you have a Time Machine backup or clone? If not,
all is lost if you have in fact deleted your OSX partition
and you will have to do a reinstall from Recovery HD
and install all else.

I just upgraded my ipad OS and now my ipad is not picking up the 3G network. Why and how do I fix this? When I go into cellular data and view account it says my ipad is activated and ready to go. What gives???

It was working fine up until I upgraded the OS which I hadn't done in many versions so the ipad was not working as well as it should. Now it is searching for the network.

Hello noodles074!
Let's get your device working again! It's possible that your device just needs to be reprovisioned on our network. Please go to Settings>General>Reset>Subscriber Services>Reprovision Account. This may take several minutes. After allowing about 5 minutes for completion, please power your iPad off and back on, and test it again. Let us know if this takes care of it!
Thank you,

2 iphones both receive same messages and sometimes phone calls. What causes this?

My wife and I both have iphones but we are receiving each others messages and sometimes phone calls even though different phones. What is causing this? Both phones registered under the same user. Means she is seeing my texts messages and vice versa.

If you are receiving imessages intended for other devices you can fix this by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
Uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both devices if they are iPhones; or
On one of the devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign in with a different Apple ID. Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for the iTunes & App store for purchasing if you wish; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and other services.

Bad pop ups and this thing called macsweeper. what us it and how do I get rid of it

I gave bad pop ups and this thing called macsweeper. What is it and how do I get rid of it. Thanks

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

My macbook Pro Retina is 5 months old. I have nothing but a cursor and a black screen. What gives???

I have nothing but a cursor and a black screen. It's only 5 months old! What gives here? This is my first Mac and I'll tell you, they aren't impressing me.

Did you get it fixed at the store? I have this same problem my macbook pro that I bought at the end of December. I am not impressed and very unhappy that I now need to drive to some store to fix it. I tried to get it fixed through the phone but alas it still does not work.
After spending as much money as I did for this thing that I've only had for less than three months and used maybe less than 10 times, I'm slightly upset. I need to have this working by Saturday.

I try to update apps and another acct pops up. what gives?

I try to update apps on my iphone and other accts appear, what gives?

To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased them. If you have apps that need updating you have to update the apps one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
The purchased apps that came with the iPod id not transfer with the iPod. They remained licenced to the purchaser. You should delete them.

Restarting service removes and disables logs

Anyone know of a way to kick start the Qmaster log other than a reboot? The Log is removed when doing a service restart (option-click "start services") and does not return until the system is rebooted.
Its quite annoying... we need the logs to monitor queue issues, but restarting the whole bank of machines when there is a cluster issue is not a great solution to what seems like a simple issue.
So... any way to get the logging up again?

No need to wait. Just find the details prior to the last crash restart. Your CF startup will have this syntax:
Starting Macromedia JRun 4.0 (Build 108858), coldfusion server
01/24 14:54:36 Information [main] - Starting Event Gateways.
01/24 14:54:36 Information [main] - Starting FlexAssembler...
01/24 14:54:36 Information [main] - Starting .NET...
01/24 14:54:36 Information [main] - Starting Monitoring...
01/24 14:54:36 Information [main] - ColdFusion started
So will need some of the log before the start. Not sure what we are looking for yet so for now probably more log the better until the issue gets narrowed down. Then again I might be on the wrong track and the OUT log will not show any salient problem and we need to look elsewhere. Most recent detail is at end of log file. When the log file gets to 200k it will copy and truncate so detail might be in one of the OUTn (n number) files.
What is CF9 version, updater1 applied, CHF1 applied?

I can't get good Verizon service in the Pa mountains. I have to go 12 miles to the nearest town to make a phone call. What gives? I thought that Verizon has the best coverage of any of the big companies.

I am now in the Pa mountains and I can't get any Verizon wireless phone service. I thought that Verizon had the best coverage of any of the big companies. Why can't I use my smartphone?

I just recently moved from FL (where I had great service) to PA. My zip is 17814 and I have a Samsung Galaxy III phone which really doesn't work anywhere except when I go 2 the nearest town. I am most annoyed because my neighbor has a Sprint phone and he can get service even at my house! I hope I don't have 2 get another cell phone while I am in PA...I have been a Verizon customer 4 many years.

Macbook screen not working, now it is, even after the service centre told me it needed replaceing, what gives?

My son's Macbook was taken to the local Mac service centre as the screen had suddenly gone blank.
I was told that the screen needed to be replaced.
This evenimng my son opend it up and hay it's working again.
Could anyone tell me if the Service centre has been pulling my chain or was it just a loose conection after all?
Cheers
Jon

Hi Jon
I think you're being somewhat unfair. The repair guy can only give a diagnosis from the information he has available at the time, which was a completely dead screen. The screen springing back to life is new information he didn't have.
I can't comment on the $115 charge. As with car repairs, it's always cheaper to do your own, but laptops are at least 10 times more difficult to repair than desktops. I'm happy to dive inside a desktop computer but I've always left laptops to the professionals. I'll also add that I always buy the extended warranty for a laptop.

Java Not Working, And Still No Answers. What Gives?

Okay, decided to start this topic anew, since the only response I got to the other one was a post calling me "rude and impatient" (I guess that's what they're calling "persistence" nowadays..) , instead of...well...ignoring my admittedly pushy and harsh tone and actually being helpful. However, for the sake of it, I do apologize for my attitude in my last topic.
But I digress, let's start off on a new foot, eh? On to the problem that is STILL at hand(in other words, "patience" hasn't gotten me jack, not even a "we don't know yet"):
So last night (10 PM January 20th), the Firefox Plugin Checker said that my Java version was outdated. I also got a pop-up saying that my current version of Java at the time (Java 7 update 10) had vulnerabilities. So to try and fix this, I went to the Java page and downloaded the update (Java 7 update 11).
To check and see if my update was working, I went to Java's check page, as well as another page I use. And here I discovered a problem. I got a notification that an old version of Java had been detected, and another prompt to download the current version (which I had already done). So I erased all versions of Java from my control panel, and tried to check it again. And when I did, I got this: http://oi50.tinypic.com/35b6xx2.jpg and http://oi47.tinypic.com/15fg37p.jpg.
As you can see, both pages tell me that I need to install a missing plugin of some sort. So, thinking this would resolve the issue, I clicked the Install Missing Plugin button. This is what it told me was missing: http://oi45.tinypic.com/302uwbl.jpg. So I clicked next to install it.... and got this: http://oi45.tinypic.com/2cici0x.jpg, which I assume means that the plugin did not install. So I pressed Manual Install... and was lead/linked right back to the Java download page (where it all began, and what doesn't seem to be working in the first place)
I go to check my plugins again (Just to make sure and also for extra information), and it appears to say that my Java version is current (is that what "Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.110.21" is? I don't know, I am not good at technology at all. Either way, here is what it looks like: http://oi48.tinypic.com/4kxzz4.jpg). So...if it is current, why is it not working (i.e. I am unable to play games, DO MY COLLEGE CLASSWORK, or play Java-based games)?
If it helps anything, here is what my control panel looks like in regards to Java right now: http://oi45.tinypic.com/2qlxu9t.jpg Am I missing anything that would make Java work?
And before anyone says that Java is not essential: It may be that way to you, but I need Java to do classwork for college. Veterinary college.
So, in short, what is going on with Java, and how can I fix it?
EDITEDITEDIT: I Have found that I can do my classwork without Java. HOWEVER, this DOES NOT mean that the problem is solved or over with. I STILL WANT TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND GET JAVA TO WORK. Even if I never actually need it, I would still like to have a (working!!!) Java version because of two reasons: 1) I would rather have such a program and not need it, than need such a program and not have it, and 2) aesthetics. Sorry to say, but I am very particular about how things look when it comes to my belongings, and the fact that Java is messing up is making me actually stressed. In short, I still want the above issue solved, even if it's just purely for the sake of Peace Of Mind.
Another note: I would (please!) appreciate a timely response on this matter. Even if the response is a "We don't know what the issue is and/or we are working to solve this issue.", that would satisfy me for the time being. I would just like a semi-timely response that would let me know that FF/contributors here have read the above and actually give a semblance of a care about their userbase.
Thank You.

The first prompt you see in Firefox to activate Java is because Java is currently on the Mozilla blocklist ( the "Hot Topic" article [[How to use Java if it's been blocked]] explains the reason for block and how to activate Java, including how to bypass the plugin activation prompt for trusted sites).
cor-el is right about why you are seeing a second [http://oi48.tinypic.com/de8f8y.jpg Java "Security Warning"] when trying to view Java applets, that you have to click to run. This is a ''' Java''' security feature and not anything Firefox does.
Try the same Java sites in Internet Explorer .... don't you also see the Java "Security Warning?" If you want to lower your Java security back to "Medium" in the Java Control Panel, see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/jcp.html#security for details. That's up to you but I would leave it on "High " since Java 7 is still basically insecure, according to the reports I've seen and [https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2013/01/11/protecting-users-against-java-vulnerability/ this "Protecting Users Against Java Vulnerability]" Mozilla blog post.
If the second Java prompt is your only remaining issue then your problem is really solved, since it is a new Java security feature and not anything in Firefox.

I rented 5 movies from iTunes. 3 worked, and 2 do not. What gives?

I haven't made any changes to this device. I've tried resetting the device settings and restarting the iPad. No dice. It just gives me this error: "This movie could not be played."
I had to spend a cross country flight and a long bus ride without entertainment (god forbid!)
Help would be amazing.

Lion creates local snapshots on the hard drive. Sort of a mini Time Machine, but not really. They are essentially temporary snapshots that the OS will delete when it needs more space for just about any other reason.

Hard drive says 103 gigs and itunes (and ipod) says 55 gigs. what gives?

we thought our hard drive (internal 250, new imac) was more full than it should be. itunes says i've got 55 gigs, and it all fits on my ipod. the hard drive says i've got 103 gigs when i click on music and get the info on it. why is it doubled?

When you 'Get Info' or 'Show Song File' (command-R), iTunes will only show the file it is linked to. It will not show the possible duplicate.
It all depends on where you had put your music files before adding it to the Library.
The default location of your music is ~/Users/YourUsername/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music.
If you put the files in the 'iTunes Music' folder and then add it to the Library, there are no copies made, even if you had ticked 'Copy.......'
iTunes obviously 'thinks': "Alright, they're already there, don't have to make copies"
If you put the files at another location and then add them to the library, copies are made.
So, if you have the checkbox 'Copy....' ticked, you could safely delete the music at any other location than the 'iTunes Music' folder.
But beware! If you had that (Copy....) option not ticked at any other time, there could be some music outside the 'iTunes Music' folder.
The best thing to do is to 'Consolidate Library...' (Advanced menu in the menubar). This will copy any music file, that at this moment is located outside the 'iTunes Music' folder, to the 'iTunes Music' folder.
After iTunes has finished 'Consolidating', you can delete the music from other locations.
Hope this helps.
