Problem Activating--Am I the Only One?

So I got my iPhone, went through the activation process via iTunes and I thought all was well. Except that it won't make a call. I figured I screwed something up. Called Verizon. Apparently, the number assigned to my iPhone, which is in my paperwork that came with the phone, is not in Verizon's system. It is floating around, not assigned to anyone. It's a "glitch" and the tech support guy said I'm not the only one although I'm not seeing anything on this message board remotely similar to my problem. Tech support is working on it and they were VERY responsive. They said the pre-order process was something they've never done before and causing some issues for some people. I've waited this long for an iPhone. I can wait until they get it figured out. Right now, it is a fully functional iPod touch! Anyone else having activation issues?

My iphone4 wouldn't activate after I did the i tunes sinc. I was directed to call customer support for activation. I tried to do the activation from the verizon site, but no go. The fix was simple for me. All id numbers were correct. I had to turn off old phone and reboot my iphone4, For 45 min on the phone, that's what fixed it. Pretty simple. It seems  this is new for customer support, so they are taking a long time, as they read their instruction manual. It was a pleasant experience, though, just took a long time. I give them a 5 star for effort. Lol. For why it didn't sinc the first time. I have no idea. It should have, but didn't. Tell me it wasn't just to turn my old phone off. Lol.

  • I hate problems! Am I the only one? New quicktime won't work OS 10.3.9

    I have a Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 running OS 10.3.9 just as the new quiketime requiers. It wont't respond! It won't start. I tried downloading 3 times. Help?! I tried to do the reienstalls and it's not working as well.
    Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I zaped the P ram and trashed the QT preferences.
    Any other suggestions?
    I originally downloaded through the software update along with the new iTunes. Itunes isn't working either. I suspect it is becasuse it can't see quiktime. I downloaded them directly from the Apple site and installed them again. Nothing.
    My FCP will not start probably because of the lack quiketime as well.
    My world over here is buggered up!
    none of the reienstalls work either.
    I had QT Pro 6.5
    I wanted to upgrade to the new QT cause of movies I cannot watch with older QT.
    Thanks in advance

  • Am i the only one who when trying to enter the code for creative cloud activation ?

    I give up,i have been trying to activate a 3 month subscription for CS6 from Staples and every time i try the code it will not work.  I have used the chat live and spent about 3 hours already going nowhere.  I do not like talking on the phone to some help desk overseas and the only thing i think left to do is to return the junk.

    I tried all that and even took a picture of the numbers and blew them up so a blind person could read them and had 3 others read them off.  A simple way to fix the problem is get someone on Adobes staff to find a font that most people can read from whatever product the stick it to.

    Hey John,
    Not sure if it helps or not, but I know sometimes with codes like that its really hard to tell certain characters apart, O - like in Oscar versus 0 - number and number 1 versus lowercase L like in Lima.
    Might test entering it both ways if you have any suspect characters?

  • Leopard printing problems on several printers (Am I the only one?)

    Since installing Leopard shortly after it was released, I've had flakiness with printing:
    - With Tiger, when I printed, I could open the printer's window, and see the print job queued. The job would finish, disappear from the window, and everything would be fine.
    - When the job was printing, the printer icon would appear in the Dock. When the job was done, the icon would disappear from the Dock. Simple.
    With Leopard, printing has worked, but I have never seen a print job appear in a PrinterProxy window. I print, the printer outputs the job, and PrinterProxy is always blank. The printer icon appears in the Dock, and stays there forever. I found that I could ctrl-click on the icon and select the Auto Quit option (Hooray!), but that only worked for a while. Then the icons started staying in the Dock again. When I click on the Dock, there is no more Auto Quit option... just the "Application Not Responding" message. I have to force quit Printer Proxy after every time I print.
    What's stranger is how long it takes for the PrinterProxy app to start up. The icon in the Dock bounces for well over a minute. Sometimes, the job finishes printing before the app is launched. If I switch between apps using Cmd-Tab, I can select the PrinterProxy app, but it never actually displays; instead, I just revert to the current window.
    This is true for every printer I use, and as a traveling consultant, I use several. It is true whether I am printing via Airport, or over a direct Internet or USB connection.
    The printers that are permanently in my Printer List are:
    Canon i9100
    Brother MFC-8840
    Epson Stylus Photo 220
    HP LaserJet 1320N
    HP LaserJet 8800
    HP LaserJet 6570
    HP Color LaserJet 5550
    Adobe PDF 8.0
    All of these have the same problems. What's worse is, when I have a printing problem, there is no way to diagnose it, since the print jobs never show up in the PrinterProxy.
    I have reset my printing system many times. I have deleted and re-added my printers many times. I have downloaded drivers from the manufacturer's sites, and reinstalled Leopard's default drivers. Nothing makes a difference. Strangely, after updating to 10.5.2, the Auto Quit problem went away for awhile, then returned spontaneously.
    At the thread below, I show some of my system and crash logs from a prior discussion. Someone was helping me with the problem, but after asking me to post my logs, he seems to have dropped off the thread.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7013209#7013209
    I can't believe this problem is endemic to Leopard. I know many people who seem to use Leopard without any problems at all. (They even print once in a while!) And yet, as a fairly advanced user, I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem! My system is pretty plain vanilla, with no weird mods, hacks or apps. Pretty much just straightforward creative and productivity apps. I use it daily for business, so I try to keep all wacky stuff off of it.
    There must be a solution, short of doing a clean install. Can anyone help? Are there PrinterProxy-related files I can delete when I reset the Printer System that might help resolve this? Prefs?
    Thanks,
    David

    I'm having exactly the same problem with a Lexmark C760.
    When I inspect the Activity Monitor while opening the Printer Icon from the Dock (or press the Button "Open Print Queue" in the "Print & Fax" System Preferences), I can see the Printer Icon as "Printer Proxy (Not Responding)" marked in red in the processes list. The Dock icon bounces for quite a while, and after about 2 minutes, a Printer List actually appears under the PrinterProxy application and the process in Activity Monitor changes its name to "(null)" and its color to black.
    Though there is no entry in the PrinterProxy list when I print something from another application while keeping the window open, I can select "Supply Levels" and the correct information appears, so it seems to be functional.
    It also seems that there are several copies of the drivers remaining, as the application in the Dock is named "Lexmark C760 (4)", probably from my attempts to remove and reinstall the driver. Is there some interference with old installations of the drivers that still lurk somewhere, hidden in the depth of the many libraries? How can I get rid of the previously installed drivers for good?

  • Am I the only one with these various problems...??

    Hi all,
    I start my first post and introduction ever on this forum with a imposing problem with Aperture 3.03
    I just did the upgrade to Aperture 3 & 3.03. Coming off Aperture 2, I was able to rotate, crop and do all the things I wanted by just placing the pointer while clicking, holding, and moving all at the same time with no issues. With Aperture 3.03, no such luck. I've noticed that now if I want to rotate an image or even crop an image the first effort to move anything is ignored. It shows all the signs of being ready to move something, but nothing happens, nothing moves on first try. If I stop the click and place click the second time it is responsive as usual....What gives???
    Here is another issue. Cropping is all over the place and never right on the first try. Even if I have a set aspect ratio it does not provide me with the one I selected. I'm always getting the wrong aspect ratio even though the right one is selected. If I pick "Master Aspect Ratio", I get a variable ratio instead of a fixed ratio??? If I click again it changes again. This program is not stable!!
    One other thing has anyone noticed that you cannot use the arrow keys to move from one picture to another after editing the photo?? It is happening to me. If I complete an edit and want to move to the next photo, the program will not respond to key commands in any way. I'm forced to return to Browser mode and even then it seems hit or miss whether is responds to key commands again. navigating seems to be a big impediment when actively editing.
    So, am I the only one with these problems???
    Lets hear your story...
    Note: just installed the newest stability update for Snow Leopard/Aperture 3 just made available on August 18, 2010. No change...

    I don't see any of these issues! You have listed several, disconnected issues. Perhaps you should pick one of them, and give us a blow-by-blow of your action steps.
    For rotation, click that button at the bottom of the View window, and then use one of the [ or ] bracket keys as listed for direction.

  • Am I the ONLY one in the world with this problem!??

    before I downloaded twhirl, i upgraded to most current
    version of Adobe Air (1.5.1) from (1.5.0). It actually occcurred to
    me that i had never used adobe air before, eventhough i´ve had
    it installed for ages.
    i cannot run twhirl-0.9.air because the extension is not
    registered. being no newbie, i tried to manually register the
    extension but i cannot find an adobe air executable in Program
    Files>Adobe Air. So i started to search on how to fix the
    problem, and took at two approaches. I spent 5 minutes trying to
    find the location of the adobe air executable, and i spend ONE
    FREAKING HOUR trying to find a solution using queries similar to
    ["adobe air" extension association .air] on google. NO relevant
    results come up AT ALL. Am I the only one with this problem? how
    about a solution? Which file do I associate the extension .air
    with???????
    as a bonus WTF, i dare someone to show me a query on google
    that points to a solution to this problem within the first 20
    results, and if you find this solution WITHIN adobe.com support i
    will paypal you USD$5.
    thanks in advance
    windows vista ultimate on x32

    The Adobe AIR Application Installer is in Program
    Files/Common Files/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/.
    If you right click on an AIR file and choose the above file
    to open it, that should fix the problem.

    You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.

  • IPad take FOREVER to charge and Apps take FOREVER to download. Am I the only one having this problem?

    I bought my iPad I'd say about a year ago and this problem has been happening the moment I bought it. I can have the iPad charging all night long and still it doesn't fully charge. I took it to the Apple store a little over a month after I bought it and they ran some tests on it and said everything was fine that maybe it was just the iPad charger so he gave me a new iPad charger but that didn't help whatsoever.
    The other problem I'm having is that when I download Apps on my iPad they seem to take years to download. This can't be my wifi as I have other Mac products and an iPhone that downloads App just fine within seconds.
    Is all of this an iPad issue other people are having? Or am I the only one cursed?

    You need to reopen that case file for your initial problem and get that resolved. That's the first thing.
    The second thing (the download times) can easily be checked out while you are at the Apple Store (as a test you do yourself). Find a couple of large apps (like maybe approaching 1 GB) in which you don't have any personal data in them, and delete them from your iPad. Then redownload them and see how long it takes at the Apple Store.
    If it's quick and normal at the Apple Store, then you've got so,e problem with the iPad working right with your home WiFi, and you'll have to sort that out. If it's just as slow at the Apple Store, then you can open up case file on that issue while you are still in the Apple Store.

  • Am I the only one with no problems with the froyo 2.2 update

    I did my update on 4/20 bout 10:30pm ny time it took bout 10 min to dl and bout 10 min for the install and what not, after that I updated my flash to 10.2 and tried out my new features, was amazed how fast it was like my phone was on redbull, everything is good battery life is bout the same if not better, not having issues like I been reading, so am I the only one, who else out there had no problems updating and no issues with it

    I updated my phone to 2.2. Almost everything seems fine. I now have Flash and it made some small improvements in a lot of features such as E-mail viewing is a bit nicer and web viewing is a bit better. Some background colors have changed. The phone seems to run apps a bit faster or improved in minor ways. The GPS Google Maps stuff works well as before. It did reset my phone personalization presets like my homescreen, a minor thing. One game app stopped working but I deleted and reinstalled it and it works fine. I kept all my music, contact list and data on the phone. Nothing lost. All in all I am very satisfied with the update and pleased. Thanks Verizon and Samsung, now please get to work on Gingerbread 2.3.

  • Am I the only one experiencing those problems?

    I always get frustrated when I get my macbook with the following errors.. or maybe glitches.
    1. Flash Player --> When online video, using Flash Player to play video, is paused, sometimes the video does not resume even if I click the resume button. Only workaround for this is to go to specific timeline or move the cursor to other part in the movie.
    2. iTunes Player --> No matter what Mac OS X version is, if i try to search the song with korean language, the iTunes Freezes immediately after clicking other area in the iTunes Player. Workaround for this is push the space button after finish writing or click the left or right array key.. otherwise, iTunes freeze.
    3. on "Mail", the Mac OSX default application, if i delete any email with delete key and press Ctrl + Q (Quit button) right after that, "Mail" application hangs until I force quit it.

    You are not the only one and it happend to others when still on iOS 6.
    - Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
    - Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Poor GPS reception in IPhone 3GS, am I the only one having this problem ?

    Since I have many problems with GPS drop outs and poor signal strength errors when using navigation software for Iphone 3GS firmware 4.0.2.
    First I reset my Iphone completely and installed all apps from scratch, but this has not solved my problem.
    I now tried several tests to compare with both an Android phone HTC Desire and a very old Symbian phone Nokia E65. Neither the Nokia E65 or HTC Desire have any drop outs in the GPS reception while my Iphone has several dropouts, making navigation horrible.
    Am I the only one having this problem ?

    Unfortunately, you are not the only one (I personally use TomTom with car kit). This is one of the numerous bugs introduced by iOS4 and this one has been reported by many in this forum. Be careful not to use your iPhone based navigation system in a foreign country, due to high roaming costs ! I had to use it and nearly had an heart attack when reading the invoice.
    Apple doesn't care. Unfortunately, I have to care for my budget.
