Thank you. Desperate and frustrated and upset bt customer.

Please give me info about my monthly payment!! online offer last monday for $49.99

Hello! I have had a very frustrating experience with Comcast customer service and billing department and my service hasn't started yet!! I am afraid I will have to cancel or opt out of your services.On Monday I contracted an online offer. Here's the screen shot of what I contracted. I tried to click on the blue letters "pricing & other info" but nothing will pop up never, so I was not able to check the "little print" that usually hides extra fees or anything. Go to your website and tell me if anyone can retrieve that info, from Chrome in my Galaxy Light phone, I couldn't. On Tuesday I receive the confirmation of my order, but the details of my bill say something different from what I contracted!! Here's a screen shot of the order confirmation. Now, as I took screenshots of the steps it took me while I was contracting the service, here's the info of what I selected. I remember I choose self installation and the cheapest shipping and handling, but I thought it wa going to be free too, as the one that was $29.00 something was the expedited shipping. Today, I needed to set up my username and password and choose the papaerless bill so at 11 am I called the number 1 855 230 4264 they said they could not help me and sent my call to other number, they helped me with the username and password and sent my call tbilling department so they could give me info about the carges on my confirmation email. The lady that picked up was super rude, first she said that I contracted the service at a comcast office, which I didn't, then she said some nonesense and ended up cutting my call and sending it to somebody else. I ask for her supervisor or manager and she told me he would be able to talk to me. Put me on hold and I had to wait more thatn 15 minutes for somebody to pick up my call again. The man that picked up, asked how was my day and since I said that I was not as good as I would wanted to, he put me on hold again and picked up 5 minutes later. By then I was very super angry >:-( but I needed to finish this matter of knowing how much do I have to pay every month, so I tried to be patient, maybe a little sarcastic at a time. He started to give explanations that were not right, cause I answered with the info that I had. Then finally he said he had the offer I purchased and that probably it was shipping and handling what i was paying for, but he couldn't say if this was going to be my monthly statement or not. He sent me to somebody else that was supposed to tell me this, but the man that picked up told me my monthly statement was going to be $54.** plus tax!! Even worse!! He didn't knew about the online offer or whatsoever. Please people!!! All I want to know is if this $60.** was a one time charge or my monthly bill. The state tax is around 10% in TN so what I expected to pay is $55.00 tops Who am I supposed to ask if neither your customer service or billing departments have the information??????? A super angry >:-( customer from Antioch, Tennessee

Hi I Have A Prepaid SmartPhone Right Now With Verizon For About 7-Months So Far. I Have Always Paid On Time No Missed Payments Good Standing Account, I Tried To Switch Over To A 2-Year Contract With Verizon And They Wanted A $400 Deposit For Only 1-Line.

Hi I Have A Prepaid Smart Phone Right Now With Verizon For About 7-Months So Far. I Have Always Paid On Time No Missed Payments Good Standing Account, I Tried To Switch Over To A 2-Year Contract With Verizon And They Wanted A $400 Deposit For Only 1-Line. Is There Anyway I Can Use My Excellent Payment History With There Prepaid Department To Switch To A 2-Year Contract And Not Have To Pay The $400 Deposit. And This Is Due To The Fact I Have No Credit History Whatsoever

Since you have no credit history, my guess is you would need at least a year of on time payments, and I'm not sure a pre-paid account would qualify as you can stop at any time.
You didn't specify your age, but getting started int he credit world is not easy - you may try applying for a gas card, or a credit card, and USE them, pay them off each month - and expect to take a year or more to establish a record.

Dear Customer Service Team,
I bought a twelve-month Dreamweaver CC program with monthly payment that I have paid via bank transfer and there would be a question about the activation. How could I get the license key with which I can activate my account? I can not find it and now I only have access to the trial version.
Thank you for your help in advance.

How do I file a complaint about horrible, incompetent and negligent customer service?

I might sound super rambling but I am very frustrated and just tired of explaining the situation over and over and over.
On Wednesday, January 21st, I got a call from Verizon Loyalty Department about a "promotion", which I get $25 credit on each line if I upgrade with edge plan. I wasn't sure what phone to change, so I asked them to call me back on Friday. They called me on Thursday, but I couldn't get the call, so I called them on Friday and talked to the customer service. I wasn't still sure about the upgrades, so I asked them about the upgrades with $25 credit would still apply several weeks later if I decide to upgrade, the first representative whom I've talked to looked at my plan and said something like, "Yes, that is absolutely possible. I was looking through your plan, and since you are a loyal customer and ended your 2 year contract with us, I can give you $25 off on your each line. I asked them would I still get the $25 credit for each line when I upgrade to edge plan. He said yes because the $25 off that he is giving me is for the monthly charge and the edge plan $25 credit was for the equipment charges. So Month to Month $25 off was applied on the Jan 24th, and activated on 29th.
After I finally decided to upgrade my phone, I called Verizon customer service the next week. I do not recall the exact day but on 28th or 29th I called to upgrade it, and the second representative also assured me that the credits were going to happen, and then he offered me to bump down my data to 6 gb from 8 gb to save money because I use less then 6 gb each month. I bumped down to 6gb loyalty plan so I was only paying $60 per month instead of $70 per month. The representative told me I would be only paying around $120 per month. I forgot to ask my sister what phone she wanted to change, so I didn't upgrade it right a way. So only the data plan changed on that day.
I was extremely busy with my work for few weeks, and I finally called again to upgrade it, the third representative told me different old me that the previous representative was wrong about giving me another $25 credit when I upgrade with edge plan. So I ended up upgrading both of my lines with $25 credit on each line plus $60 for 6gb data. But she said I would be still paying less then what I normally pay, which is around $183. I upgraded and took me few days to receive my phone. I checked my bill and it was showing different than what I was told. I called again and explain all this thing again and the lady adjusted my data plan - 6gb loyalty plan for $50. She said she doesn't know what other representative was doing, but this will fix that I would only pay around $150-160 per month. After I got my phone, I called verizon to activate my phone (I don't really remember it was before or after, I just talked to them too many times and they have changed my promotions and plans too many times in very short time). He also confirmed $25 credit off for each line, but there was one time tax fee that none of the representative has mentioned while I asked bunch of questions about the upgrading fee and how much it would cost on the first month and etc.)
After all of that happened, I was settled and didn't think about the payment until I got $290 with only $15 credit on my bill. I called again and asked what happened and the representative told me she doesn't know why this happened and why the previous representatives told you something that weren't true. and I had to go through the explanation again. She said she fixed it and everything was taken care of.
I checked my bill today. My plan was changed to $90 for 6gb and I was paying $30 more than I originally paying which was around $180 and $50 more than I was supposed to pay. I called the representative today, explained the previous situation and asked why this happened. Basically he told me that all the previous representatives were lying to me. Are you kidding me? They were lying to me? How am I suppose to know if he wasn't "lying" to me? He said only thing he can do is change back to my original plan and amount, and I would pay $6 more than what I used to pay which was about $183.. I asked me if I would get the the 8gb back. He told me that isn't possible. The change did not happen so far. I am tired of calling verizon and more tired of getting different answers from different representative.
I am seriously concerning about changing my service to different carrier. I have to call the verizon every single month when there is a change in my plan. If they were really lying about the promotion and plan just to sell more service, they should be suspended or fired or something, and I need my money back for overcharged fee and need some kind of compensation for my wasted time and stress I got from this.

Okay. You are just missing the whole point, and I am not saying anything after this. I did go to the website to read about the edge plan after I got a call from the loyalty department. I asked the questions on some parts I didn't understand (or was confused of) to the representatives. But my main question was whether I was getting $25 credit and in what conditions. They all answered differently to the same question. (My original question - Do I get the $25 credit with edge plan?- One rep. offered me that month to month $25 off before my upgrade. Other rep. confirmed $25 off plus $25 credit with edge and offered bumping down data plan to save extra money. Another rep denied $25 off plus $25 credit with edge but confirmed decrease in my monthly payment by bumping down the data plan. Other rep denied both. You see what I am talking about? I asked one question to begin with: am I getting the $25 credit with edge upgrade plan - and they are the one who offered me different promotions and offers)
I also left the part that I actually went to the website and 'researched' the different plans that all the representatives were talking about after I hung up on the phone each time. I joined the forum today because I wanted to know where and how I could file the complaints on verizon customer service after today's call. I should have been more clear on what I was asking, but I thought I was clear enough on my title "How do I file a complaint...?" Yes I am angry at the fact I didn't get what I thought I was getting, but I am more frustrated the fact every single time I talked to the customer service I get an answer from the rep. I am on the phone, saying "Previous representative you've talked were wrong about this," or "They were lying." The representative, then, would fix my issue, but I would still get the conflicted bills. Don't I suppose to call the customer service to fix it? What's the customer service for if it's not for that?

The glass on my new ipad air was broken one day. I have had it for about a month. 1 day I took it out of its case as usual and the screen was splintered at the top and cracked downwards. It had not received any bangs, or been dropped or anything. Help!

Hi, I have had my ipad air for about a month. The other day I took it out of its cover and it was splintered from the top with downward cracks. It is new and under warranty so I rang the support team. They told me that it would cost about €120 but could be repaired on the spot and they made me an appointment at the local genius bar. I got there and they told me that I had dropped it or banged it or something. I said I had not, they insisted that I must have done. I repeated several times that I had not - it was obvious they did not believe me, they said I must have done. They then told me they never repaired or replaced broken glass in any ipads, that the man on the 'Support' had been wrong. They always replaced the whole ipad at a cost of €300. I was devastated at not being believed and at the amount of money they were asking for. I left and rang the support again. I was told their system was down but to call on monday to get a quote for the reparation, I could send it to my home insurance company and they would undoubtedly cover the repair. I asked how long this was all going to take because, I was in the middle of a big project and this was taking up my time, and also I needed the ipad for my work. They told me it would be done in a minute. I rang on the Monday and I was told it would take up to 5 days to send but probably it would arrive sooner (it is now thursday, I have received nothing). I then rang my household insurance, a big company - and they told me they had never heard of such a cover. I asked if this was because I had a very basic policy, they said, no it wasn't that - I didn't have a basic policy I had quite thorough policy, but they didn't know of a policy in any comany that would cover this sort of damage. I was stunned - yet again I had been given false information and false hope by apple. Yet again I was let down. I then decided to do a further investigation on the internet and discovered a long trail of comments on Apple Forum of people who have also had splintering and cracking of the ipad air glass for no reason whatsoever. Some have commented that the glass could be thinner in order to reduce the weight, some have said that the splintering could be caused by a weakness in the casing at the top where it is plastic (the ones that take sims) that might make it more flexible and therefore liable to crack.
All of the posts and complaints on the apple forum and elsewhere seem to point to a design fault. However throughout all this I have been mislead by apple support staff constantly who all say different things, I have virtually been accused of lying by denying that my ipad received any kind of impact by apple staff and I have been left feeling incredibly frustrated and upset by the total lack of any kind of real help by Apple. All this despite being acomplet apple user in my business for the last 25 years, where I have never come across this attitude towards me as a customer before.
When the screen on my iphone broke, it was because I fell in the street while I was talking on the telephone, it flew out of my hand and smashed on the pavement. I was rolling around in agony, while my son was holding up the smashed telephone wailing 'Mama, you've smashed your iphone!!!' This of course, I blamed on noone but myself - it broke because it fell, I paid an arm and a leg without protest to get it repaired.
This is not the case with my new ipad air. It has splintered for no good reason at all - and noone at Apple seems to want to help me or to care!
I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me if there is anything else I can do to ge this matter resolved?

If it was a refurb replacing one that was under warranty, the warrany is good until the original warranty expires or 90 days from replacement, whichever is longer. In either event, it should still be covered if you've only had it for a month. (assuming you're in the US here). You can try to restore it as a NEW device rather than restoring from your backup, but this sounds like a hardware failure... I think. I'm not sure what you mean by "the top half of the screen slides". If you mean only the top half is touch sensitive, how can you determine that? You wouldn't be able to slide to unlock if that were the case...
Sorry, I'm a little confused by that description.

Huge increase in monthly payments AND billed for w...

I moved back to BT for calls a couple of years ago and set up a monthly payment plan to help with the cost as I'm on a low income. In March I also signed up for BT Broadband. My payments up until then had been £45 a month, BT anytime plan ( I use about £12 a month on non-inclusive calls to mobiles) I thought this was high just for calls but was told this was as low as they would allow. On checking my online account recently I discovered that the monthly payment has now increased to £81!? I knew that adding the Broadband would increase the payment but almost double it??
This was apparently due to the way BT now bill. Fair enough but surely it's unfair to pass on such a huge increase in payments for something BT have chosen to do - and with little notice.
Anyway, long story short - I decided to allow a couple of these £81 payments to come out of my account so as to clear what was a £36 CREDIT and is now a £124 Debit, due to the changes, and then call and ask if the payments could be reduced.
Imagine my anger when checking my bank account the other day to discover that BT had tried to debit £82 from my account for the WHOLE BILL AMOUNT! Unfortunately I did not have the money in the account and the direct debit was returned - leaving me with a £30 bank charge for a returned debit that should not have been taken in the first place. I phoned CS an was told 'sorry, our mistake'.
Where do I stand with regard to having this charge reimbursed to me? I cannot afford to lose £30 due to BT's incompetence.
Could a mod please look into this for me and let me know how I can reclaim the bank charge? And is there any chance my monthly payments could be reduced?
Thank you.

Hi onlythebun
I'll be happy have a look into this and see whats going on.
Could you email me at [email protected] with your BT account and telephone number please along with a link back to this thread.

Monthly Payment Plan & lack of care!

I am in my mid 70's & I have been with bt for about 50 years for phone only. I have been on a monthly payment paln of varying amounts all under £30 a month. I thought I was on anytime call plan, however it was only weekemd calls. When BT restructured the prices of calling time and evening rates went up considerably, so do my bills. My last quarterly bill was £145 of which £91 was for calls to uk landlines £46 for line rental and £8 for other calls. BT called my and said my monthly payment plan payments were too low and they were putting them up to £79! I discovered when my last quarterly bill arrived that I was only getting weekend calls free. It is disappointing after being a customer for 50 years that when the customer service agent called me regarding my monthly payments that they didn't inform me why my bills were so high and suggest that they put me on anytime calls. However, they didn't and had a pensioner paying £60 a month more than necassary!!

I would agree that you should be on Anytime calls, and you should arrange that straight away if you haven't already done it. That should cost £22.45 a month plus any non-inclusive charges.
As to your monthly payments, it's not possible to say what you should be paying as that depends on how much of the £145 had not been covered by your credits. If you can post a bit more detail there might be some specific advice on that.
In general terms though, my view is that the way adjustments to the monthly DD work can be a bit of a swindle, and I'm currently pursuing this with BT. As well as posting more detail, have a look in MyBT > My bill > Manage your payments > Change regular payment > Change payment details > tick "Change the amount you want to pay". When you click on the current amount what does it say in the pop-up box?

My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

Increased monthly payments

Hi,
I have problem.
The BT increased my monthly landline payments from £12.something to £21.50, based on my bill from October.They are saying it was 46.50, but I`have never used my landline.they even chargin me £1.5, that I didn`t make 2 calls a month. Only for internet conection. I sent them email, it must have been a bill or payment for 3 months together. Now I`m demanding my money back, but only thing they can do, is to lower my monthly payments to £14.
They ignoring my quetions where did they get that £46.50, and if they will pay me money back.
Where can I complaint?
Is there anywere else,where I can complaint?
Thanx.

This is what I used, all my calls.

And this is what they replied:
The monthly payment amount is consistently being monitored by the system. Every time your quarterly bill goes higher or lower than 2 time your monthly payment the system automatically changes the payment amount by 30-35%. In your case the the November bill was £46.34 in debit which is more than twice your monthly payment of £12.79. This is why the monthly payment was changed by approximately 35% which confirmed on the first page of your bill(03/11/2010).
Of course my quaterly bill will be 2x higher than monthly paument!!! It`s for 3 months!

Monthly payments for using itunes?

I'm getting these payments size of a like 2€ (euros) and I don't understand the reason. I got the first payment when I registrated my credit card and second when I downloaded first (it said it's free) thing from the itunes shop on my ipod touch, and third one when I actually bought something, and the thing what I bought was 2€ + 2€ (for what, if I may ask?)
And I talked with my friend, and he said, he too gets this kinda every monthly payments, just for.. useing the software?
If it's so, then I understand, but there's no information about the taxes?! And apple store account purchase history shows no sign about it, what so ever.. so what the f. is going on?
(and I can't change the credit card data, 'cuz every time I click on the button "edit payment information" it just displays error, that the service is temp. unavailable) and the helpline.. It directs me to another countrys helpline.. I mean what? I have to make international phone call to get info for that? You know how much it will cost me?

There is no monthly fee for the iTunes Store. You pay only for what you purchase. However, when you open a new account, or enter in a new credit card (and possibly when you update your credit card, for instance with a new expiration date), the iTune Store will put a small hold on your account to verify that the credit card is valid. That hold should be removed by your bank within a few days.
Check your Purchase History and see if is shows any record of these charges. If it does and it's not something you expected to be charged for, ontact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form on their Support page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find an "Email Us" button) and explain your situation to them.
If you see purchases made that you did not make yourself, immediately change your password to your account, then contact your credit card company and report the charges as possibly fraudulent. Do the same if you are being charged but you see no matching purchases in your Purchase History.
Regards.
P.S. The iTunes Store has no telephone support. You use the contact form I linked above.

Complaint about customer service and business practices

I am creating this post to make public a complaint i have about unethical practices and poor customer service with Verizon.
Here is the story:
A few months back our landline stopped working. Called Verizon and followed all of the troubleshooting steps to try and fix the problem. No dice. I called again- they said they could send a tech out to fix the phone line- and was told specifically that if the problem was INSIDE the house and involved the tech coming INSIDE then there would be a $91 service charge. If the problem was OUTSIDE the house, no charge. So cautious that the problem might be inside, I replaced the phone jack and tried multiple phones etc to make sure it was not an inside issue. Called back and scheduled an appt. The tech came out- was extremely friendly and immediately located and fixed the problem- IN THE BOX OUTSIDE. Said there was a short in one of the lines at the box. It took him less than 5 min. I said- that was easy! He said- yup- and will save you money too (by not having to go inside). That was that. The next month we got our statement (we're on autopay)- and there it was- $91 charge. I called customer service- and after some passing around and review of the tech's notes by the rep- that stated he did NOT enter the house, they agreed to credit us back the $91 on our next bill. That was last month. Statement arrives today- NO CREDIT. I call back. After more passing around I am finally told that it was not credited because our "request" was denied. What? I said? The request was reviewed and denied based on the "notes" showing that i was "informed of the charges at the time of service"? Um, what? No i wasnt. I was informed MULTIPLE times PRIOR to the appt that i COULD incurr charges if the tech came in the house. He did not- his tech notes even state that. So now i get passed to a supervisor. He tells me that the tech notes state that i was told of the charges at the time of service. Funny- the month prior to that when i first called the notes did not state that at all- they simple said that he did not enter the house. Somehow after my "request" was filed the tech notes were modified. The supervisor was very curt and short and said the case was already reviewed and denied- no credit. He then goes on to say that the reason for the charge was because the tech did work on a line that LED into the house? What? Don't all the phone lines LEAD into the house? And regardless- it was explained several times to me that the ONLY charges would be if he came in the house. I have been a loyal Verizon customer for years- but i was shocked and quite frankly **bleep** off. NEVER was i told about any charges during the service. In fact i was told the exact opposite- that there would be NO charges since he never entered the house. This is a horribly deceptive practice- and i am NOT HAPPY. I told the "supervisor" so- who didnt seem to care at all- and told him that i would consider canceling my service because of this- at which he happily said "would you like me to transfer you to cancelations?" wow. Unfortunately I am still locked into my 2 year agreement- however i will unquestionably be looking to switch to brighthouse after its up and will be recommending likewise to my friends and family. You simply cannot tell a customer one thing and then charge them for another. Dont they record all the phone calls for "quality assurance"? Well if so, then they need to listen to the calls i made prior to the appt to ensure that i would NOT be charged if the tech did not enter the house. I triple confirmed this. Verizon has completely lost any credibility in my opinion. NOT HAPPY.

so yesterday i posted the below complaint about my experience getting charged for service on my landline. After some "private chatting" with various verizon people i got the response that follows. unbelievable. i will without a doubt be canceling my verizon service as soon as my contract is up and will definately be recommending the same to friends and family.
here is my original post from yesterday:
I am creating this post to make public a complaint i have about unethical practices and poor customer service with Verizon.
Here is the story:
A few months back our landline stopped working. Called Verizon and followed all of the troubleshooting steps to try and fix the problem. No dice. I called again- they said they could send a tech out to fix the phone line- and was told specifically that if the problem was INSIDE the house and involved the tech coming INSIDE then there would be a $91 service charge. If the problem was OUTSIDE the house, no charge. So cautious that the problem might be inside, I replaced the phone jack and tried multiple phones etc to make sure it was not an inside issue. Called back and scheduled an appt. The tech came out- was extremely friendly and immediately located and fixed the problem- IN THE BOX OUTSIDE. Said there was a short in one of the lines at the box. It took him less than 5 min. I said- that was easy! He said- yup- and will save you money too (by not having to go inside). That was that. The next month we got our statement (we're on autopay)- and there it was- $91 charge. I called customer service- and after some passing around and review of the tech's notes by the rep- that stated he did NOT enter the house, they agreed to credit us back the $91 on our next bill. That was last month. Statement arrives today- NO CREDIT. I call back. After more passing around I am finally told that it was not credited because our "request" was denied. What? I said? The request was reviewed and denied based on the "notes" showing that i was "informed of the charges at the time of service"? Um, what? No i wasnt. I was informed MULTIPLE times PRIOR to the appt that i COULD incurr charges if the tech came in the house. He did not- his tech notes even state that. So now i get passed to a supervisor. He tells me that the tech notes state that i was told of the charges at the time of service. Funny- the month prior to that when i first called the notes did not state that at all- they simple said that he did not enter the house. Somehow after my "request" was filed the tech notes were modified. The supervisor was very curt and short and said the case was already reviewed and denied- no credit. He then goes on to say that the reason for the charge was because the tech did work on a line that LED into the house? What? Don't all the phone lines LEAD into the house? And regardless- it was explained several times to me that the ONLY charges would be if he came in the house. I have been a loyal Verizon customer for years- but i was shocked and quite frankly **bleep** off. NEVER was i told about any charges during the service. In fact i was told the exact opposite- that there would be NO charges since he never entered the house. This is a horribly deceptive practice- and i am NOT HAPPY. I told the "supervisor" so- who didnt seem to care at all- and told him that i would consider canceling my service because of this- at which he happily said "would you like me to transfer you to cancelations?" wow.

This post was followed by an online chat with a verizon person last night- who, after reviewing my acct and the notes on the acct said the following:
{edited for privacy}
WHAT? First off I WAS NEVER INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE OF WHERE THE WIRE WAS OUTSIDE MY HOUSE. I was simply told if the work/wires were ANYWHERE ON THE OUTSIDE of the house, which they were, then no charge. "Internal side of the NID leading into your home"- THIS WAS STILL ALL OUTSIDE! NO ONE EVER SAID IF THE WIRE WAS ON A PARTICULAR SIDE OF THE NID BOX I WOULD BE CHARGED! ONLY IF THE WORK WAS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE HOUSE! THIS IS CRAZY! AND ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT AN INSIDE WIRE MAINTENANCE PLAN? WHO THE HELL HAS THIS? OR HAS EVEN HEARD OF IT?
I AM SIMPLY AMAZED THAT A HUGE COMPANY LIKE VERIZON FEELS THE NEED TO BULLY AROUND AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE LIKE ME. SHAME ON YOU VERIZON. CLEARLY I HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE HERE, HOWEVER AS MENTIONED BEFORE I WILL BE CANCELING MY SERVICE AS SOON AS MY CONTRACT IS UP (TO AVOID ANY RIDICULOUS EARLY TERMINATION CHARGES0 AND WILL BE RECOMMENDING THE SAME TO OTHERS. I WILL OF COURSE BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AND ANY OTHER CONSUMER ADVOCATE GROUPS THAT I CAN - NOT THAT I EXPECT ANYTHING TO COME OF IT- BUT TO SIMPLY LET THIS GO ON RECORD. SHAME ON YOU. YOU CANNOT TELL A CUSTOMER ONE THING AND THEN DO ANOTHER. LISTEN TO THE PHONE RECORDS FOR WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE THE APPT- ALL I WAS TOLD IS THAT THERE WOULD BE NO CHARGE FOR WORK DONE OUTSIDE THE HOUSE...ONLY CHARGE WOULD BE IF WORK WAS DONE INSIDE. WOW. SIMPLY AMAZING.

Hi. Good morning, I intend to purchase the Photography Photoshop program. The Rs 499/month one. I currently use an Mac Air. But intend to buy a iMac in about 2 months time. Will I be able to transfer this program or continue using this on my new machine?

My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck!

If my monthly payment fails, do my apps stop at once?

With the security breach, we may have to change our credit cards. If for that reason or any other, a monthly payment fails, do our CC apps stop working at once, or do we get any period of grace to correct the payment? Does anyone know this?

Thanks, but I don't quite understand your answer. This is not about cancelling.
The question is: if a monthly payment doesn't go through, what happens?
Suppose my credit card payment doesn't work. For example, my card might have been stopped by the bank for suspected fraud reasons, or the card number changed following a re-issue of the card, or there may have just been a payment error. Does my Photoshop CC subscription stop immediately? I might not even know that the payment has failed for a few days, and it might take me a bit longer to find out what has gone wrong, and reset the credit card on my Adobe ID.
In the mean time, can I still use my Adobe CC applications, even though a monthly payment has not gone through on the due date (for reasons outside my control, perhaps, and maybe even without my knowledge)?
