Plan renewal - New battery rather than new phone

I have suggested that Verizon consider an option to provide a new battery for an existing phone as an alternative to a new phone when renewing the contract. I am satisfied with my current phone and don't wish to change the phone. Changing the phone will require me to buy all new accessories since the format of the connection has changed again. Simply providing the option for a new battery would save Verizon money and would provide an alternative to existing customers. Can we get this message to Verizon management?

New batteries for most phones are cheaply available, especially older models, so why sign a contract to get one? The benefit of signing the contract is the reduced price on a new phone. Trading a $200 to $400 phone discount for a $10-$50 battery seems like a poor decision.
From Verizon's end, keeping a stock of batteries for phones that they may not have actively sold for a year or more would probably cost more than just giving you a new phone. They have limited warehouse and retail space, and it's all currently dedicated to moving the phones they are selling right now, not stocking accessories for older models.
My suggestion to you would be to go one of three ways:
1) Get a new phone, and don't worry about accessories right now. Activate it for a few minutes to accept your new contract and then put it away. It can be a back-up for you in case your current model breaks or you just want a change. One of the "free" models would work well for this.
2) Get a new phone and go to a store and negeotiate with the salesperson to include a deal on accessories in the package. If you buy a more expensive phone, you're more likely to have this work out in your favor.
3) Do a little research and decide which phone you could resell for the greatest profit. Do your upgrade, keep your current device and then sell the new one on eBay for a tidy return. Use that money to buy LOTS of batteries, and then set some of it aside to replace your current phone in case it breaks.

Open links in new tab rather than new window

IS there a way to force Safari to open all links that would normally open in a new window open in a new tab instead? I know I can hold the apple key and click the link to have it go to a new tab but I was just wondering if there was a way to make it do that all the time without holding that key?

You're welcome. Glad I could help.
Thanks for the and Aloha from Big Island.

Tried everything, cannot get firefox to open new tab rather than new window. set options, cleared cache, rebooted. win 7 firefox v26

Win 7 64bit desktop.
Set tools --> options --> tabs OPEN new windows in new TAB instead checked.
apply/save .. tried from there, tried exiting firefox. tried clearing cache.
what else???

Hello leelassow, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Why does Firefox keep opening new Windows rather than a new Tab in the current window?

I have " Open a new Tab in the current Window" select in Preferences.
Why then does this version (Version 4) keep opening new Windows, rather than new Tabs in the current Window.
This feature worked fine in 3.6.1.3, but in Version 4, it is a frigging pain in the rigging!
C'mon, Mozilla - time for an URGENT update ...

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

How can I get new tabs to automatically open when I click on a new site (rather than replace the existing page I am using)?

For some reason when i click on to a new site or link, tabs no longer automatically open so if i forget to manually click on the little plus sign at the end of the tab strip, my new destination replaces where i currently was. This was not the case in the past and I cannot find where to reset this so that a new tab will once again auto create. !
I tried options/tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead, but this did not fix the issue. Can anyone tell me what i need to do get firefox to create auto creat a new tab when i move to a new link rather than replace the one currently in use? Thank you!

You can middle click a link to open that link in a new tab.

Every time I save a draft it creates a new draft rather than updating thr dradt I am working on

While writing an E-Mail I may receive a call so I need to save the E-Mail. I click save and it creates a draft which is fine. I go back to add to the draft and must save again and it creates a new draft. Every time I save it creates a new draft rather than updating the old draft as it does on my other computer

Chris, my guess is you may be confused by one or more tilde files inside the project, a project file with a tilde (~) in its name.
If the project was begun in iMovie 4, the project resides in an iMovie 4 type-folder, not an iMovie 6 package. The folder lets you see the tilde file. For projects begun in iMovie 5 or 6, the project is a package instead of a folder. And you never see the tilde file, for the package looks like a file instead of a folder.
The problem is discussed here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1971832&#1971832
My guess is you're opening the wrong project file to re-open the project. So when you save, it's saving a new tilde file.
The whole issue is rather confusing. Check out the topic, and if you can't get it straightened out say more about what's going on there.
Karl
PS: If you haven't yet, create a new iMovie 6 project, add something to it and save. To look inside the package, Control-click on the project (in the Finder) and choose "Show Package Contents" from the popUp menu. You will see one tilde project file and one project file without a tilde. That's ALL the project files you should ever see.

How can I show the name in the list of new messages rather than the address

I have noticed something weird in Apple mail. In the list of new messages, the FROM field sometimes shows the email address rather than the name of the sender (even if that sender is in my address book). Because of this, when I search for some users, I can search by name but for others I must search by email address. However, in the FROM field when I actually open the message, the full name is always in the field rather than the email address (if the contact is in my address book at least).
Here's a screenshot that illustrates what I am talking about.
http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/8126/applemail.jpg
(notice that in the message list it says from [email protected] but in the message view below, it says from Tony XXXX
My question is: Is there any way to display the actual name in the FROM field in the list of new messages rather than the email address, in the same way it is displayed when I actually open the message? I can't seem to find any settings that fix this.

Yup, no longer an option.

HT4314 I have tried to log into clash of clans on my iPad and it just keeps going to a new game rather than the one saved on my iPhone. I have been using the game centre and same user name and password ?

I have tried to log into clash of clans on my iPad and it just keeps going to a new game rather than the one saved on my iPhone. I have been using the game centre and same user name and password ?

I have the same problem.. EXACTLY. . When phoning Apple Support they had trouble understanding my problem and couldnt find any type of solution. No one seems to take responsibility for GameCenter issues. The assistant escalated the problem but no one could find an answer. .
The only idea was to set up a new apple id, hence a new GameCenter account. . But that would loose all the itunes data. Anyone got ideas ?

How can i have bookmarks automatically in a new tab rather than the tab i am in when i select a bookmark?

How can I get book marks to automatically open in a new tab rather than the tab I am in when I select the bookmark?

It would be good if this was made a user-defined Option (Tools -> Options -> Tabs) in the next update of Firefox rather than having to install an add-on. I currently keep Firefox open to view my Accuweather.com add-on running or because I know that I will be returning to Firefox in short order. (I do close Firefox if I have visited a sensitive or secure site to ensure better security.) Every time I want to go to a bookmark, I must open a new "(Untitled)" tab before selecting my bookmark using the keyboard (I'm a dedicated keystroker; it's much faster for me). This way, when I close the website, I have an "(Untitled)" tab displaying so that Firefox doesn't close. Why can't I set an Option parameter that will result in me not having to go through this? Alternatively, allow users to set an option to keep Firefox loaded and open in the event only one tab is open and maybe if only one Firefox application window is running (I avoid having more than one Firefox window open as much as possible). I've addressed this last issue in the past but have seen no change when one closes the last tab in a Firefox window. As general practice, I would think that Firefox would run better if options, like I have described above, were part of the Firefox application code and not given to needing an add-on which may cause instability in Firefox as they have in the past, even with author verification and certification.

Can you set live bookmarks to show topic replies rather than new topics (or is that a setting of the site/forum)?

I have live bookmarks for some forums, blogs, and news pages on my bookmarks toolbar and only one site shows topic replies rather than new topics in the dropdown bar. Can I configure the forum ones to show topic replies or is that a setting configured by the website itself?

Nope. This is a common request, for some form of preview, typically as Outlook does it. Almost equally common are requests to have absolutely no preview whatsoever in case something nasty happens.
Many of us think the Message Pane below the thread list is perfectly adequate for a quick scan of message content.

When i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url space it opens a new search page. how do i get the new tab to open at the url?

when i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url window it opens a new search page. a new tab used to open at the url - how do i get it to do so again?

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

Textedit opens with prompt window rather than new document

How do I get it to just open with a new document, rather than this prompt wind

Since I'm no web expert, take my experienced reply for what it's worth:
I checked on my Safari, unchecking the "Tabs" "Preference" regarding commmand-clicking, and everything worked fine. Then I thought again about your situation, and it reminded me that on various websites, command-clicking brings up a new window (although, as you point out, control-clicking for the menu and selecting "New Tab..." does create a new tab). What that means is that certain websites must have an embedded command (java?) that opens it in a new window, overriding your Safari preference. In other words, it is a website issue, not a Safari issue (although perhaps Safari could be made to override the websites!). Hope this helps!

The tabs I have open show as new tabs rather than the websites I had opened.

I have a large number of tabs open in a window, and when I hit "restore previous session" to open them, they are shown as "new tab" rather than the websites I had opened. Prior to the previous two updates, I had no problem with this, but now it's a recurring issue on Firefox.

Make sure that the history and possibly the disk cache are working.
Do you see the history in the History Manager (Library; Show All History)?
To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Privacy+panel
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

I set up my ipad as a new ipad rather than syncing it to my iphone. Can I still do this or is it too late??

Depends on what you want to sync.
Contacts and calendars - yes with icloud.
photos yes with computer and future pictures with icloud.
Apps - does not make since, since apps are different for ipad and iphone.
