Receiving verizon phone pics on mac

If I forward pics from my verizon phone to my MacBook I get an empty email message. No pic. If I send pics from my phone to my old PC, then forward that message to my Mac, then I can view the pic. Why don't the pics sent directly to my Mac from the phone display the pics? Thanks.

Look at http://verizon.com/emailsettings . Essentially they have finally dropped the old servers and are requiring you to use the new settings for reqular VERIZON email users. Similar but slightly different changes were also made for Yahoo/Verizon email users.

IPhone 5 and Yosemite, can not send or receive phone calls on Mac

I have latest software on iPhone 5 and Yosemite and an update on cloud, still no phone calls are displaying on my mac or txt msgs... am I missing a step? Can only users who also have iPhones with Facetime only contact me via my computer?

Hi ravanarrowood,
I had similar problems at the beginning. Bluetooth were switched on on both devices but the hands off was not working. Later I realized that iOS 8.1 was already released but my iPhone did not even notify me. Then I restored the iPhone connecting it to iTunes, installed iOS 8.1 and only after that bluetooth starting working properly and I could manage to pair both devices.

I could manage to receive the messages from my Mac with these settings. But still the messages are not syncing across devices but I am just receiving them from both devices. I delete a message from my iPhone in the morning and in the afternoon I re-receive it from my Mac. Interesting..

Cannot access my 2 verizon phones on PC for pic download.

I have a 2 year old HP pavilion slimline desktop PC, model # is S5-1224. I upgraded our Verizon phones recently and was told that the USB cord for the charger could also go into the PC to d/l pictures. Cool I thought, but it does not work. I work my way to my USB list and one has a yellow caution triangle with ! mark in it. When checking further, it says "device cannot be accessed, code 10". I did a google on that and found that the USB driver is most likely bad. I've updated it until i'm blue in the face and it still shows the driver as 2006! but the build date is 9-2012!! How can this be.
Anyway, I went to HP and they linked to some "testing site" that said I had 16 "old or antique" drivers and of course wanted $29.95 to "fix" the problem. Can't believe that HP does not offer driver updates but out-sources them for money. Anyway, when I pull the usb cord, the yellow triangle goes away. I plug in my wifes 2 day old phone, yellow sign comes back! Getting very sick of this problem. All I want to do is d/l my pictures from my camera to my pc. Does anyone know of a fix that does not cost $29.95? Just don't have it right now.
Thanks.

This question was solved.

Well, I had the night to sleep on this mess. Came to some conclusions at 4:30 this morning.
1. HP customer service sucks! They pay the poor people in India a few dollars an hour with no benefits to start the "claim".
2. They just don't care! Plain and simple.
3. Yes, It was my fault for buying this thing with only a 1 year warrantee. But I was fresh out of the hospital from having open heart surgery and needed something to use for our billpay. We've had HP's for years, as has most of my family. That will change for me next time I spend the money we don't have on another computer.
4. Now, my two new Verizon phones cannot transfer pictures like they are supposed to because HP admits they have a driver problem that prevents this from happening. Thankfully, my wifes phone has a slot for a mini SD card so she can save them to that. Un-fortunately, my phone does NOT have a flash drive so I'm stuck emailing them to myself and sucking up data on my Verizon plan, which by the way, knows how to take care of their customers. I will sing the praises of Caroline, Pat and Kevins for finally getting my plan upgraded. They tried for 3 days but it kept getting kicked out at the last step. Come to find out that my wife’s cell phone was still her old Alltel. Once we upgraded her phone, (99cents,) bingo bango, we had unlimited calls, unlimited text and 250 megs of data, for the SAME monthly rate and they gave me $10 a month off for a year for being a loyal and PATIENT customer. HP Needs to hire those 3 and have them teach classes on how to treat customers. AND they were NOT in India or Pakistan and they all spoke UNDERSTANDABLE English!!!
(Not sure what the data is used for but will find out today). They went sooooo far out of their way to help me, I will be indebted to them for ever and suggest Verizon to anyone who asks who my carrier is.
5. Please refer back to number 1.
6. Please refer back to number 5 and number 1.
7. HP tech support has all of US by the n*ts and knows it. Lets see, 49.99 plus 14.99 a month for a year equals $229.87 for ONE STINKING year of "service". Crap! I only paid $449 for the whole computer! If this POS lasts 2 more years, I can afford to go buy a DELL. Had one of them long ago and it lasted trouble free for 7 years before the HD finally died.
8. Am I P/O'd, yea, for sure! If anyone asks me what computer i recommend, HP for sure will NOT come up in the conversation. (please refer to #1 and #5 and #6.
9. But thanks again for the link, only problem was it kept sending me around in circles ending me at a page to order 4 new recovery disks! Which the HP rep was at least honest enough to tell me that was NOT what I needed.
10. Lesson learned...the hard way and a hint, HP does NOT stand for "Happy Person". It actually stands for "Higher Profits".

How can I use Messages app on non-Verizon phone?

Hi. I have two phones: A VZW personal phone and a T-Mobile phone from my employer. I wish to carry only one device when I'm at work (my T-Mobile work phone) but I wish to be able to get texts from my personal VZW number on that phone. I know I can't forward texts, so I installed the Verizon Messages Android app on my work phone, but I can't set it up with my VZW number (I figured it should work because I was able set it up on my tablet at home and it works fine there).
After I install the app on the non-Verizon phone, I open it and I get a screen asking me if I want to use the app for my default messaging app. If I click no, the app closes without giving me a chance to set it up with my personal account like it did when I installed it on my tablet.
I also noticed after I installed it, it's called Messages+ instead of Messages. Are they the same thing?

Hi, has this been resolved? I am in a very similar situation and need the app to work on my new Sprint LG G3 exactly the way it operated on my Sprint iPhone 5S. Here is how it worked on my Sprint iPhone: downloaded the VZ Messages app, followed the prompts to tie it into my work Verizon Galaxy S5 number, and started to receive texts sent to my S5 on my iPhone but in the separate VZ Messages app and not in the native iPhone messages app.
But when I install the VZ Messages app on my Sprint LG G3, it only asks if I want to "Change default message app? Use Message+ instead of Messaging as your default message application?" That is not what I want so I tap "Cancel" and the app closes. I am not prompted with the opportunity to tie it to my Verizon S5 number like I was on the iPhone. The ability to have the VZ Messages app on my Sprint LG G3 along side the native G3 messaging app, the exact same way it worked on my Sprint iPhone, is very important and the whole reason I switched from AT&T to Verizon for my work phone.

HT3228 I upgraded from iPhone 4 to a 5 and my emails have duplicated. Those I received and read on my Mac this morning have come in again and show unread so I have 2 of all of them. Any idea what setting is causing this?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Phone contacts and Mac contacts

My husband needed Verizon so just recently got the iPhone although I've had mine from the beginning. The Verizon people transferred all his contacts that he manually entered to his old phone, to the iPhone. We also have a huge list of contacts that are synced to all our computers and MobileMe. I know many of his will be duplicates of our Mac contacts but that's okay if I can make his contacts a separate group which he'll select and I will de-select ... but will this be possible when we first sync?
Has anyone tried merging two sets of contacts and then separate them via groups? Is there another way?
Thanks!

Since you've been so helpful maybe you can steer me in the right direction for me to truly understand the difference (if any) between syncing (between mobile me, my phones, pads and macs) via iTunes settings & device settings and via the mobileme sync preferences & sync now. I've never understood it and I just want everything to have the same contacts and calendars on it but it seems the mobileme sync preferences thing always give me (more than 25%) error messages or tons of duplicates even after I reset sync data. Is there anywhere that explains it? I've been trying to understand it for years!!
MobileMe is a conglomerate of services, one of which is synchronizing between all your iOS devices (iPad, iPhone) and your Mac. It keeps your data "in the cloud" (a buzz term that has been thrown around lately that really means remotely on Apple's servers, not locally on your computer). MobileMe allows you to have all your data current by comparing it with it's master copy on their servers.
iTunes is used for synchronizing your iOS devices only. For those who do not have MobileMe, they can use iTunes to sync their contacts over the USB cable. All data is stored locally (not in the cloud) on that person's computer. If you are using MobileMe already and sync your iPhone in iTunes, it will not even look at your contacts or calendars as it knows you are using MobileMe for this. Think of iTunes and MobileMe as a one of the other thing - not both (in terms of data syncing).
When you "sync now" from the MobileMe preferences it is just referring to syncing your Mac, not your iOS devices. Syncing of MobileMe data on iOS is handled directly through the device itself. As for the 25% error message, that is a threshold that you have set up to alert you that it is about to change a significant portion of your data and a friendly warning asking if you're sure you want to proceed. Before I can suggest how to proceed, which has the most accurate, up to date data? Your Mac or Me.com?

Has anyone who ordered an iPhone 5s gold actually received their phone yet?

I am just wondering if anyone who ordered an iPhone 5s online for Verizon has actually received their phone yet. Since they haven't received any at the Apple stores I am wondering if anyone has an idea of when they will actually start shipping them out.
Thanks

Hi Mmaluski,
The Apple store indicates that they ship in October, so I would guess sometime between now and Halloween?
I don't think anyone here has a more specific idea than that....
Sorry,

Mobile phone pics?

hello all,
would simply like to ask people's advice reg. which mobile phones work easy with Macs?
can't find much on their respective sites about Mac compatibility -
how easy or otherwise to import photos for instance, and what software is needed from the mobile's side?
thanks

I have used numerous phones with my Macs over the years that have Bluetooth.
I have sent music from my iTunes to my phone and I have edited songs in Garageband to use a my ring tone.
As long as you have Bluetooth on your phone, it should send your media content over to your Mac and vise versa.
Oh...
and I also used a Sony S710a
Here are some pics of the phones that I have used if that helps:
Nokia 3650:
Nokia 6682:
Motorola Razr:
Blackberry Pearl:
Samsung SGH-d807:
Sorry if I upset anyone for the pictures.
The quailty of the photos for each phone have been great, at least for a phone. That is what I really look for when I get a phone and all of these have done the job!

150.00 Gift card for ordering a Verizon Phone?

Is there anyone here that can help me track down my 150.00 gift for ordering a new Verizon phone? I have combed my inbox, spam and filters. No luck. The lady on the phone when I ordered said it might take 10 days to get to me. I ordered the phone at the end of November. I have the order number and information if it helps.

Greetings etbuzz,
It’s awesome to hear you are keeping track of our mobile promotions! It’s great to hear you’ve purchased a mobile Verizon phone in hopes of participating, and I am sorry to hear you may not have received your gift card if you have qualified.
Using the email address you registered with the forum, I was able to locate your order and see that you purchased your Verizon phone on Black Friday. After reviewing the $150 Best Buy gift card promotion for purchasing a Verizon phone, it appears it was for new 2-year agreements or new Edge activations only. Unfortunately, as it appears that you performed an upgrade and kept your original plan, you would not have qualified.
I apologize for any dismay or frustration this may cause you. If you should have any other questions, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Has anyone who ordered actually received their phone(s) yet?

It doesn't seem like the phones are even shipping out to those who have ordered them. I ordered on the 29th of September and I have a placeholder "expected shipping date" of October 31st. It doesn't look good on my end seeing as people who pre-ordered still haven't received their phones yet. Is there any other way to get a more accurate idea of where my order is and when I will actually receive my phones? The one line synopsis on the order tracking page just isn't enough.

Agreed. I ordered two phones the 25th and I've seen minimal movement. All that has happened for me is my recent orders now shows the products I ordered. Very frustrating. I will never order from Verizon again when local stores, along with Apple, have my phones in stock. It's all about sales!

Verizon phones that work?

Hi everyone,
Has anyone had any success using isync with any Verizon phones other than the Palms and Blackberry's? I need my address book and calendar only. I don't currently need an internet connection. Peace, good health and much thanks!

Just went through the same drill. I found I could use the 'Mark/Space - Missing Sync for ________' to sync (not iSync) most any Windows Mobil PDAs or phones. Based on my limited skill I found this sync technique to not be for the faint of heart. I got duplicate and quadruplicate event entries all through iCal. To answer your question directly, I have found no Verizon devices that will play with iSync. The Verizon store manager and I tried to sync several dozen live store phones with my Mac pro. Apple appears be focused on iSync'ing with its business partner only.

I have updated my iPhone 3s to the latest software. I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available. Help!

I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!

Working on that now. I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage. Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

I have an iPhone 4S and never had a problem with syncing it. But suddenly, when I connected my phone to my mac, it says that its in recovery mode, and I need to restore it in order to sync. I've updated both my phone and my itunes, and it didnt work.Help?

No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

my playlists wont show up on the phone.
Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing.
