Re: Advertisements

$9.88 credit and advertisements. Is there a way to downgrade to the version I was using prior to this update? We are trying to protect our kids from inappropriate content and consumerism and now they have to deal with both when they want to visit with their grandparents.

Adobe Bridge in advertising agency

Hello,
i work in advertising agency Made by Vaculik (formerly Vaculik Advertising), we are located in Europe/Slovakia/Bratislava and we was using Adobe Bridge since CS2 release. CS3 was longest used and we was VERY satisfied with its technology. Creative, graphics and DTP department worked closely on each project, every save was synchronized with our server with name of user etc. It was much better environment than find latest version on someone's computer. But since CS6 it is not longer supported internal servers, only cloud engine. We are ad agency that primarily sells ideas and we simply cannot store our data on external servers, so i and my collegaues are VERY surprised that this technology was changed to different target group. We was probably first bigger agency who used this technology in Czech and Slovak republic and nowadays we are searching for similar solutions for our needs, but for example we are preparing really some YEARS to implement Alfresco with JIRA, but it got many problems. So what Adobe, really we are only agency in the world who missed Bridge to use with our internal servers? Cheers.

Lack of Training / False In-Store Advertising Complaint - Avon, CT Store (Want Executive Level Contact)

Hello,
We have been Verizon customers for many years and typically enjoy the product and service. However, this last upgrade we had a horrendous experience as a result of poor training by staff at the Avon, CT store. We both upgraded our phones to Samsung Galaxy S4's. My wife from an iPhone 4S and myself from an LG flip phone.
After the setup, we needed to contact Verizon on 4 separate occasions to remedy errors in the setup of our phones and issues with account billing.
Issue 1 (False Advertising / Lack of training - company discounts): The representative at the store wrote out our billing scenarios on the new "Edge" formatted comparison sheet and included a 15% blanket military discount to our bill, saying "yes you will receive a 15% discount on your bill". He made no mention of the discount applying to the data package only AND even wrote an inaccurate bill number on the sheet, misleading us to a false monthly bill we were not prepared for.
Issue 2 (Lack of training - phone upgrade):I My wife's iPhone text messaging was still active, causing her to receive texts on her old iPhone while missing key messages on the new Samsung Galaxy. This took upwards of an hour on the phone with Verizon technical support to understand, and the problem ultimately was still not resolved (see Issue 2).
Issue 3 (Lack of training - phone upgrade): The iMessaging service on my wife's iPhone was still active and needed to be turned to OFF. This was not done in the store nor did anyone have any idea how to do it. After yet another hour on the phone with Verizon tech. support, we reached that conclusion and it finally worked.
Note: This happened to a relative as well during the exact time frame we had this happen!!
Issue 4 (Lack of training - phone activation): My Samsung Galaxy S4 4G service was not activated for me. I had no idea why I could not access the internet while out of the range of my WiFi until my wife figured out the 4G was off. We were "all set to go" when inside the store. This required again a 20min+ phone call to have to tear my phone apart to pull out the SIM card while they activated the 4G.
We would like to be contacted to discuss this experience and how we can help use this to improve the services and training requirements of Verizon. Can we be connected to an executive level person? We love the company, but this last experience was just miserable.
Thank you for your time.
Sean

Sean222, thank you so much for this feedback! I do want to start off by saying that I am sorry for all the time that has been spent on getting these phones all up and working. Getting a new phone should be an exciting time! I would like to go issue by issue with you.
Issue 1: We would like to make sure that we provide this feedback to the store location to make sure that facts are delivered when we present customers what their monthly bill is going to be. It's very important to do so. In order for us to get this to go to the proper store and management could you please send us a Direct Message http://vz.to/1fbIKzK . (If you can accept my request to follow you. Then request to follow me back, I will then accept and you will be able to send me a Direct Message).
Issue 2/3: I know that we have been having some issues when a person comes from an iPhone to an Android phone with text messages. I am very shocked that it up to an hour for technical support to understand what was going on. I know that it took some time to finally get the messages to start working, but I am happy to hear that they were able to get things back up and running again.
Issue 4: Again, I apologize that when the device was set up at the store location they didn't test out the network before leaving the store. This is another issue that we could get addressed in the feedback to make sure that we check all the major functions of the phone are working before you leave the store.
I really hope to hear back from you in a direct message so we can provide the proper feedback.
Thank you,

Do Verizon customers have any legal recourse in response to the false advertising of iPhone ship dates, as well as de-prioritizing existing customers in the fulfillment order?

9/19 guaranteed ship date, seems like a clear cut case of "bait and switch" on top of the customer service failure.
State and federal laws are in place to protect consumers from false or misleading advertising. These laws make deceptive claims illegal. No business may make false, misleading, or deceptive claims about a product regarding its:
Price
Quality
Purpose
Consumers who are victims of false or misleading advertising should contact an experienced lawyer to find out about his or her rights and actions that can be taken.
False advertising is any published claim that is deceptive or untruthful. Misleading advertising is any published claim that gives a consumer an incorrect understanding of the product they are interested in purchasing or using. The false and misleading advertising by companies of any product may result in the consumer suffering a financial loss, or another form of damage to the consumer.
The financial losses or damages acquired by a consumer due to the false or misleading advertising may not be significant. However, this is not a cost that any consumer should have to endure. Consumers who have suffered from financial losses or other damages may participate in a class action lawsuit to recover compensation for any losses incurred.
The Types of False and Misleading Advertising Tactics
There are several types of false and misleading advertising tactics used by companies to lure in unsuspecting consumers. Some of these tactics include:
Bait & Switch Advertising
High-Pressure Sales Tactics
Deceptive Form Contracts
Artificially Inflating Prices
Failure to Disclose
Bait & switch advertising is the advertising of a product that the business does not provide or does not intend to sell. Businesses usually lure consumers into stores by promising to sell or provide an item or service at a certain cost. Once the consumer is in the store, the business tries to sell the consumer a more costly item or service.
High-pressure sales tactics are used to get consumers to purchase a service or product that he or she does not want or does not intend to purchase.
Deceptive form contracts have ambiguous promises or fine print in their contracts that are usually overlooked or misunderstood.
Artificially inflating prices is used by businesses to give the illusion that a great deal on a product or service is available.
Failure to disclose is a term used for when a business does not inform consumers when an item or service is currently unavailable, or when an offer has expired.
Consumers may be awarded a variety of remedies against any business that engages in false or misleading advertising. These remedies may include:
Monetary damages
Injunctions ordering the businesses to stop running the advertisements
Injunctions ordering the businesses to stop engaging in deceptive practices
Injunctions ordering the businesses to include disclosure statements in their advertising

Good luck in proving that they purposely deceived you, me, and anyone else still waiting. I'm would guess that they were told by Apple to expect a certain amount devices, and when that amount fell short...well guess what happens...backorders and furious consumers. Was I upset that I had trouble pre-ordering...yes. Was I a bit bothered when my ship date moved...you betcha! Will my world come to an end if I don't have my new iPhone today...nope, not at all. I'm not saying you shouldn't be bothered but it's not like it's a limited edition device and they're only producing so many. Everyone who wants one will eventually have the opportunity to get it...some of us will just have to wait a little longer. I'm in no way telling you not to be upset, after all, you're entitled to your own opinion and feelings...I just know that my energy could be better used on something more productive than being angry at Verizon. After all, I know they're not sitting on a boat load of phones just pointing at laughing at the fact that I have to wait. When they have it, they'll ship it. I'll get mine and I'm sure if you hang in there, you'll get yours too. Have a great evening and smile...life's much to short to spend any moment being upset over something as simple as a delayed phone.

Advertise implicit-null label for static routes

Hi, I want to ask if there is any way to change the label or stop adveritise label for an static route. Normally LDP advertises an Implicit Null label for directly connected routes. We want to do similar thing for static routes.
We need to do this is because somehow we need to do rate-limit on the PE interface connecting to the core network instead of the interface connecting to CE. As the incoming packets still got labelled, the rate-limit is skipped. So we want to stop the PE creates label for the static routes or advertises them with implicit null label. Thanks in advance.

Calvin,
Bear in mind that if you only enter the "no mpls ldp advertise-label" command, LDP will stop propagating all labels, which might not ba what you want. If you selectively want to propagate certain labels, then you need to also use "mpls advertise label for " as Shivlu suggested.

2013 Macbook Air 13" battery life not as good as advertised

At full charge, the estimated battery life read a little over 17 hours. At 97%, it now reads 15:39. Like I get this is vastly better than the older Macbook Air, but it still falls quite short of the 24 hours advertised on the website. Currently, it is still at 97% but now the estimated battery running time reads 14:59. Is this normal? I accidentally drained my battery twice since I bought it at the beginning of August, and I understand that's not good for the newer batteries - could this be the reason? My screen brightness is at 50% and I have no movies or music playing. Safari is the only ap I have open.
I'd appreciate any ideas or help with this problem (that is, if it is one).
I just looked at the estimated time again, and while it is still at 97%, the estimated remaining time is at 13:48. It's taken me a little over a minute to type this.
I'm not very tech-savy - is there something wrong with the way I understood the advertised battery life?

The Air is nowhere advertised for 24 hrs. batt. life......... in any configuration.

When I click on a website it opens a new tab or window with an advertisement

When I click on a website, whether it be after doing a search to open a site or when I hit enter after entering a password or even just click on next to go to the next page, mozilla pops up a new tab or window with an advertisement in it. It has been doing this for several weeks now. I have tried running antivirus software and it hasn't helped.

Why is it that i am unable to buy an ipod nano 16gb in germany? In the stores it is advertised however not available, the store only has the 8gb and I can't ship it here? Is it a case of not yet launched, patent infringement or apple just being annoying?

I am trying, thus far with no success, to buy an ipod nano 16gb here in Germany. However whilst the stores advertise it they don't have it in stock and can't tell when it will be. The german apple store only has the 8gb version. Should i try to order from a reseller then they will only post within the uk. iSo my question is - whats going on? Why are there no 16gb ipods to be (apparantly) had in Germany? Not launched yet? Patent infringement? Apple being very annoying?

Call Apple or an Apple Store in your city and ask them. Or do a Google search.

How can i stop firefox from exiting while i'm gathering advertising credits

'''bold text''I receive hundred's of emails from various websites (members) each time i clik on one of these emails,I receive a certain amount of credits that i use to advertise with or promote my business.
I promote through these websites credit mailers system & thats why i need to gather credits? My question is,when i clik on one email and receive the credits for that email in my account,when i close out this email ,why can't i just move on to the next email and so on instead of firfox closing out and i have to restart firefox each time for each email?? inernet exployer doesn't do this,it remains open!!

Are you using Firefox at a web mail website, or are you using a separate email program?
Assuming the former. 
Are those individual emails opening in a new window? 
Or are they opening in the same window as the one with the "inbox"?

While using Google to find a website, the catagories appear, but when I click on one of the links, it takes me to a different website. Most of the time the sites seem to be like larger versions of pop-ups, and are all advertising or trying to sell somethi

When I try to open any kind of links, the page first shows me "the document has moved" and then goes on to some advertisement page.

When I follow any kind of links or try to open something in another window or new tab, the browser first shows the white page with text "the document has moved", and then moves to advertisement page of some sort. Usually in the small box where the page description is it says "Jump". I don't know how to disable it, it is really irritating.

Verizon Wireless False Advertising on Family of 4 More Everything Plan

I am trying to take advantage of the heavily advertised $160 family plan for 4 lines 10 GB of data. I have 4 lines and have upgraded my data to 10 GB. I need to be enrolled in Edge to get the $25 discount per line to actually get the deal. Three of my lines are technically not yet eligible for an upgrade. However, there is a well documented Early Edge Open Enrollment option of which I meet the criteria. I will paste the criteria below. My remaining phones were all purchased well before 11/13/13. The offer is open until 6/30/14. Whether I try online, or calling Verizon, or going to a VZW store, I am told that even though it appears I meet all the requirements, my lines are not tagged as Edge Eligible and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it. My account is in good standing. The manager at the store thought it may be due to my being enrolled in One-bill combined billing with Verizon FIOS. I have since disabled that option so I am on separate billing from each. Still no luck. This is no way to treat customers, Verizon! You plaster an offer all over television, all over the internet, your web site, and when a customer goes to take advantage of it, the customer is denied the option for no reason and no ability for any of your workers to go into the system and correct the issue. As it turns out I will probably just wait for my upgrade date so I can keep my phones and sell them on eBay which will be better for me in the long run and worse for you since you won't get my old phone. For anyone reading this, I have 2 Motorola Razr Maxx's and 1 iPhone 4S. I can easily sell these for $200+ each on eBay so if anyone is thinking of doing Early Edge, you are better off waiting until your upgrade date and keeping then selling your phones. For me it means $600+ in my pocket but more importantly $600 less to Verizon which is what they will resell them for. Verizon, you are too big and too inflexible.
What is Early Edge Open Enrollment?
Early Edge Open Enrollment is a limited-time option to participate in the Verizon Edge program. You can get your choice of the latest smartphone sooner than you would under a traditional 2-yr contract.
If you’ve had your current phone since 11/13/13, you may be eligible to purchase a 4G LTE smartphone through the Verizon Edge program. You’ll pay for your phone in monthly payments.
To be eligible for Early Edge, you must meet all the following:
Be eligible for Verizon Edge
Have had your phone since 11/13/13 or longer
Return your phone in good working condition*
The Early Edge Open Enrollment option will be available 2/13/14 - 6/30/14.
Note: You must return the phone that was on your line at the time you placed your Verizon Edge order, and it must be returned to Verizon Wireless within 14 days of receiving your new phone. If you do not, you may be charged a non-return fee of up to $200.

Thanks mrniceguy for educating me. I am well aware of the benefits of the edge plan or I wouldn't be trying to enroll. I am angry that they won't let me enroll early and they do not honor the terms of the program equally for everyone. But as it turns out it is the early enrollment that is not a good deal because you have to turn your phone in. Once your normal upgrade date comes you get to keep your old phone and sell it. Same deal, pay $25 a month on edge and get $25 back on your plan whether you go early or wait till the upgrade date. I wanted to go early because I was excited about getting a new phone. But after being turned down repeatedly and thinking it through, I thought it better to trash Verizon for their policy and point out that patience is better because you get to keep your phone if you wait. So if I do the math as you say I can either pay zero for the phone on edge and give them my old phone, or I can wait and pay zero for the phone on edge and then pocket $200 per phone that I will sell on eBay.

How do I remove an advertising program by the name of SmartSuggestor? I cant find it in the ad ons and I cant find it in my add remove programs on my pc.

I keep getting these stupid ads that are apparently from smartsuggestor but I cant find the program anywhere on my pc then I contacted the company and they tell me that it is a firefox issue yet i cant find it in the firefox settings either. I went into the Smart Suggestor site and the name of the extension/program came up as "No extension Found". I cant find anything that even resembles anything to do with the program at all not in the add remove program through control panel or through the extension plug ins area in firefox and was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem.
I did not download this crap then all of a sudden I am plagued with pop up adds and other sorts of advertising all stemming from this bloody Smart Suggestor. I have got myself a good pc cleaner along with a few Malware removers and also upgraded my security programming but nothing will either find nor rid my pc of this problem. I have downloaded and reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox and I am still having the same issue, has anyone else gone through this and how can I get rid of this problem?

Can i use the same advertisement to multiple collections?

Can i use the same advertisement to multiple collections?
Advertisment A1 currently linked to collection C1.
Can i use the same advertisement A1 to a collection C2? Because my collection C1 is query based and the C2 would be a static one.
If i use the same A1 advert, will it affect the earlier linked C1 collection i any ways?
System Security analyst at CapG

Well, in 2007 you actually kind of can. You can used linked collections to make C2 a linked sub-collection under C1 and ensure that the advert applies to sub-collections.

I was wondering how the advertised 10G multiple line plan that is running now is different from my current plan. Basically, why am I paying more now for 4G of data when Verizon is saying I can get 10 for the same price basically.

NM

Most of the advertisements running now are for Edge. You get discounts for having a smart phone on Edge based on the data package you have. What sucks is that most of the time they advertise a certain price for the monthly service and that is true but what they don't say is you add the Edge payments to that and most of the time it is around the same price as without Edge.
If you think about this though, say you get a phone that is $24.99/month with Edge and you share 10GB which gives you a $25 discount, the phone is basically free and nothing is due at checkout. If you get a 2 year contract with that phone you pay the 2 year price of the phone and pay the same amount monthly.

Who should I contact for a photo taken by iphone that could be a potential advertising idea.

I just found something AMAZING from a picture taken from an iphone and I want to contact the advertising department. (It is a great idea for advertising the big screen of iphone 6 plus)
I am an international student from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Two day's ago there was a lunar eclipse and I took a picture of the moon with my iphone 5s with the aid of a telescope. I was stunning with great details of craters and valleys. Today I received my iphone 6 plus. With the bigger screen I observed the picture carefully and suddenly I found a red dot on the moon. Then I zoomed in and OMG it is a satellite! I cannot believe I can actually take a picture of human satellite via a cell phone. I am truly impressed by the power of large screen of iphone 6 plus!
Some of my friends think I should contact Apple because they think it is a "million-dollar idea". I just want to share my surprise to more people and show them that this new iphone is just spectacular!
So who is the best person I should contact? Thanks a lot!

Thanks Colin.
But I have tried Apple Care before and they always tell me it´s a matter for Apple Retail, of which they are not a part.
Is there not an Apple Customer Complaints number or better still, e-mail address? I am sick of speaking to (usually rather arrogant) Dutch techies who aren´t interested in helping me.
As for the problem, I had a feeling it´d be the logic board. They have twice told me that they´d repaired it. Seems like they´ve just done two bodge jobs to me. Not the kind of service I would expect from Apple.
Any other ideas from anybody? Someone must know something...?
