Online Only Upgrade Offer

Okay so my Blackberry Storm has been really dragging these past few weeks and I got an email from Verizon saying I could upgrade online only but it didn't say when the offer expired and this offer doesn't translate into the store.
My question is if it says Retail Upgrade when I go to the Upgrade Phone option but still shows the price with the online discount is that the price I'd get?
Also, a related question, I'm looking at the HTC Incredible and Motorola Droid X. I know the X is on backorder while the Incredible is no longer backordered. Does anyone have experience with either one or both and would you recommend them to a frustrated Blackberry user looking to get an Android based phone?

Once you are signed into your online account you can click on Upgrade Phone then Upgrade Now and the phones will be listed along with your upgrade discounts.

My external LaCie drive gets an error message "the disc you inserted was not readable by this computer." The only options offered are "ignore" or "eject" Disk Utility sees the disc but does not give a repair option. What can I do?

The good thing about mac-centric resellers such as OWC, is they have people on staff that can answer questions without you buying things first. They also have how-to information, and instructions are included in many of their products. I saw a link to watch a DIY video in one of their pages; an example of a RAID (with its own power supply) is shown on their drives page. Also a few in there, with no power supplies, for less money.
If I were looking to backup and perhaps also have a partition for a system clone, I'd consider something like one of these: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
Some ideas on the RAID backup methods appear in google search, some of the pages are ideas and concepts; and the better ones also warn about using RAID for the only backup plan.
Oh, OWC has live chat. Haven't tried it, nor have I bought anything from them. I have what appears to be two products from them, but have not used either. One is in a box as-new, but has only USB2.0 ports & my Macs needed FW400/800. It has been said their RAM is a good way to upgrade, too. But I can't confirm!
A 'RAID-ready' unit for backup may be more versatile for just that, but I have not checked into these details. I use single HDDs in powered enclosures, and usually manually make backup clones to FW drives, of bootable OS X systems. Some of the OWC raid-ready use eSATA ports so that may not be viable for a computer without them.
The unused in-box external drive I have is like the base model in the link above. However mine is USB2.0 (maybe) and won't boot my older Macs due to hardware variance; and my preference would be for FireWire options, these models do offer that. But the one I have does not. Dual 500GB HDDs, and they could be used in tandem as a RAID. That would be a choice set up in software. I'm not sure and not interested enough to read up just now.
My backup method is not automatic, or a moving backup plan, if I don't get a move-on and make full system clones. I do make copies of photos and documents the manual way, to USB external drives; and occasionally backup to DVD or CD media. And USB flash, that helps to move files between computers without need to use file sharing via wi-fi. {Like Why fly? Walking is better exercise unless one is a bird. Squawk!}

Depending on the ports in your Mac, you may be able to use other cables to attach between a backup or externally enclosed hard disk drive with multiple partition and bootable clone in one of them. Not sure about the Thunderbolt, and where that is the main port, adapters are required to access other devices, as allowed.
Anyway, I am going on and on, yet not really saying anything.
My ideas would not be all that interesting to follow as a backup
plan when matching available newer hardware to task, but you
can get some into better ideas if you are not in a rush. Get a
good setup and then look into more an betterer stuff.
Good luck & happy computing!

FrameMaker 9 upgrade offer -- Adobe sales lacks information. Any ideas?

When I started up my Frame 9 copy, the splash screen displays a "Limited Period Offer" of 40% off to buy FM 12. Except the Adobe 12 web page, the direct sales rep I called, and the customer support rep I was transferred to have no information about this.
Does anyone have any more information about upgrading FM 9, and how I might actually "save 40%" when upgrading?
A screen shot of part of the FM splash screen with the upgrade offer is here:

Besides being expired, I seem to recall that the offer was only for a
discount on the subscription version of the program and not on the
perpetual license version. The subscription version is bad because, if
you stop paying the subscription fee, the software stops working.
Upgrade pricing is only available from FM10 or FM11.
I must say that I do not like Adobe's upgrade policies. A person who has
already purchased FrameMaker 9 has already paid for 99% of the features
in FM12. Why they should be forced to buy the new version of the program
at full price just to get a few new features is ridiculously unfair.

Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?

Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012? I have not found the option to do so.

My family owns and operates a non-franchise entertainment facility (miniature golf, laser tag, arcade, pizza, parties...). I have a design background, so among the many things I do here I'm also able to create marketing materials and an online presence in-house which would be too expensive for us to outsource. Over a five year period, that's given us a software cost of right at $1 per day since our CS3 license ran around $1800. Our customers are the public, and the package we try to push for walk-in traffic costs $50 for four people. In exchange, they get unlimited mini golf, a game of laser tag, and a large pizza. Not a bad deal. If we were to earn $1800 from that group of four every five years, assuming they spent $50 each visit, that'd bring them here close to two times every three months. For our type of business in a city of 118,000 tight-fisted Germans, that's about right.
What, are you trying make me feel GUILTY about being upset that Adobe's new strategy negatively affects my livelihood?
As far as Adobe's policy change announcement goes, I have no idea how it was announced. I DO know I was not sent an email notification, though they have my email address and record that I'm a CS3 owner. Presumably it was announced somewhere on Adobe's website, and further disseminated through various digital and print trade publications. I respect Adobe's right to not reverse its decision. If our business decided to put a sign on the front doors (since we don't have contact info for all of our past customers) saying we'd closed that night at 5 PM instead of 11 PM as usual, we aren't obligated to let in latecomers. But I'd also recognize their right to be mad at us for wasting their travel time. What I WOULDN'T do is tell them it's THEIR fault for not being proactive and calling ahead to confirm the expectation that our hours are still the same as they've been for the last decade. NOR would I be surprised if we didn't get their $50 that month. These Germans tend to hold grudges.

I have an older I Mac operating system 10.6.8 and want to upgrade. I've been told that the only upgrade available for my machine is 10.7.5. On what website can I find this upgrade or how do I find this upgrade on the Apple website?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Please don't answer that i need to upgrade the computer os because that has been a past nightmare i have been through too many times.
Is there any way i can upgrade the phone w/o going to an apple store so hereafter w/ the upgrade to the new os (whenever that gets squared away), i will not need a computer to do it?
Thanks in advance,

Will's presentation is an excellent introduction to HTTP Dynamic Streaming.
This presentation is a supersized version of a presentation that Will also will be delivering at Adobe MAX 2010. MAX session description here:
http://bit.ly/bh77Gz
Supersized in that in the recording above Will spent a bit more time in ActionScript for the OSMF developers in attendance than he will with more general audiences. Plus supersized in that Will took 1 hour 15 minutes (plus 15 minutes more on Q&A), whereas MAX sessions are 60 minutes, less a few minutes for the Q&A.,

I want to upgrade the IOS of my Cisco 2821 from Version 12.4(11) to v 15.1 (XB), but I have CCME v 4.2 (0), is there any problem if I only upgrade the IOS and leave the CCME as it ?

Thanks

CME is part of the IOS, so you can't upgrade the IOS seperately from CME.
That said, if this is a production environment you should proceed with caution and be prepared to roll back as you may find bugs, etc.
You should also look at release notes and make sure your phone firmware will still work or needs to be upgraded too.

When installing iLife, can I only upgrade iPHoto and not iMovie or iDVD?

When I install iLife, Is it possible to only upgrade iPhoto and not iMovie and iDVD? I've heard the new versions of iMovie and iDVD are not as robust. If I do this, does iPhoto '08 still integrate with the last version of iDVD?

If you do a custom install you can select what gets installed
I believe that You also can move the old versions so the new versions get installed and you still have the old versions - I understand that Old Toad has numerous versions of iLife programs on his system - search the iPhoto forum for his posts to see what he has to say about that
And you can download iMovie 6 from the Apple download site - a free install for iLife '08 owners
So you can have the old and the new

FCP4- FC Studio $199 upgrade offer: my experience so far

For anyone still sitting on the fence waiting to read more real-life experiences before sending away their FCP install disk along with a bank check or plastic card #, here’s my story as of March 21:
For the past few weeks, I scanned through every discussion string I could find that mentioned the Studio crossgrade/upgrade. Two recurring suggestions I considered helpful were to make a copy of the install disk, and to get some sort of delivery confirmation.
I believe the install disk is copy protected, so I didn’t bother making a physical copy, but I did make a disk image. I don’t know if I could actually install FCP from the image w/o it asking for the original disk, but it makes me feel better to have at least something other than just a photocopy until Studio arrives.
I decided to go with USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation & no insurance. I figured even if the disk got damaged enroute, that wouldn’t be a problem as long as it was recognizeable as a genuine FCP4 install disk. Also, I wrote my name & email address on the disk in case it got separated from the order form in the depths of the processing center.
One thing that stumped me initially was that the number [0Z691-4431-A] printed on my FCP4 (academic) install disk didn't match any of the qualifying numbers on the Upgrade order form. Fortunately, I held on to the original box FCP came in, and there on the outside is a little barcode sticky label with M9153LL/A, which is a qualifying number.
Here’s the timeline:
March 14 (Tue) mailed disk
March 17 (Fri) delivery confirmed by USPS
March 21 (Tue) Apple confirms receipt on website
Having gotten this far, it’s unclear to me if, in exchange for my academic FCP, I’ll be upgraded to the academic or the retail version of Studio. The Apple receipt indicates they’ll be shipping me (when available) Part # MA411Z/A.
For anyone reading this who sent in a retail FCP disk and received confirmation for the ugrade: is the Part # you received the same as mine, or is it something different?

Ray, thanks for your earlier post on the part # for the upgrade.
Regarding your comment about the standard or universal version of Studio, this is what's on the Apple web page explaining the upgrade offer: "Upgrade your standalone version of Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro, Motion, or DVD Studio Pro and get the complete Universal version of Final Cut Studio."
So it would seem the Apple dude you spoke with wasn't completely schooled on the offer.
And to wwalker, for all the years I've been monitoring this discussion board, on some regular basis a question pops up about the difference between the academic & retail version of the software. The correct answer, which you gave, is none.
However (there's always a 'however'), a big difference is the upgrade path. Up thru FCP3, the owner of an older academic version could upgrade directly to the newer retail version, which was a good deal when a student became a former student and was no longer eligible for the academic discount.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought starting with FCP4, if an academic owner wanted to upgrade to FCP5 (when it was standalone), he/she had to either pay full retail, or, buy the newer academic version (if still eligible for it) at the full academic price -- which made starting out with the academic version more expensive in the long run.
So, if the upgrade from academic FCP4 is to retail FC Studio, that's better than a great deal. Thanks Apple.

Can only upgrade basic phone to basic phone?

I have three lines on a share everything plan. Two smart phones and one basic phone. The only line eligible for upgrade is the basic phone line. So, I went to a local VZW store today not only to pay my bill but to see about upgrading the line with the basic phone. The rep at the store told me that I could only upgrade a basic phone for a basic phone. He said that only smart phones can be upgraded to smart phones. This is just ridiculous. I chose not to upgrade my phone. In fact, I now plan to switch to AT&T.

You were told wrong. The only difference will be a $40 line fee instead of the $30 line fee, and you may consider increasing the data pool if you are adding another smartphone to the mix. But there is no reason at all why you would HAVE to put a basic phone on that line. The rep was wrong.

Will Robo Form work with any of you new browsers? I am still running FF 3.6 and will only upgrade if RF works.

Will Robo Form work with any of you new browsers? I am still running FF 3.6 and will only upgrade if RF works. I tried the browse after 3.62 and it did not support Robo form so I uninstalled it

Hi there! Actually, Roboform works with modern versions of Firefox. Please update to Roboform 7.9.0, and update Firefox to version 22 immediately. Continuing to use Firefox 3.6 is leaving your computer at risk for MAJOR security holes, plus known stability and performance issues. Please update immediately.
Also, Firefox will work perfectly fine with XP SP2, but there is no reason why you shouldn't update XP to SP3

Can I use iCloud Drive online only?

Can I use iCloud Drive online only? I don't want to store everything on my macbook pro. I only have 128 GB SSD and I don't want to fill it up with photos, music, etc. I still want to see everything in finder in the iCloud Drive folder, but I don't want it to be saved on my macbook.

Yes I know, but I want it to be used as external storage, not something where I store copies of stuff that I have already on my macbook
But iCloud Drive is not an external storage. It is a common storage that is synced and shared between all connected devices, and it is always available, even when you are not connected to the internet.
What you want to do is not possible with iCloud Drive.
