    Please explain why I have not received my $200 iPhone 6 Trade In Promo   Gift card. I sent it to Trade In Center in packaging sent to me by Verizon on November 26, 2014. I have called the Trade In Support team 877-835-2024 to check status and receive a different response each time I call. 1)it was received and it takes weeks/months to perform analysis on the device 2) you sent it to the wrong address 3) just wait 4) i will 'expedite' your issue. I've asked to speak with supervisors and the CSR will not let me speak with anyone confirming 'you will just be told the same thing I am telling you'. Well - nothing ever comes of it. Please assist. I have been a Verizon customer for years and am frustrated with the lack of customer care. Like many others I am ready to switch carriers.

    I wanted to add my voice to the growing chorus of people complaining about VZW's trade in program. i received the exact same excuse for denying the full value of my perfectly good and DEACTIVATED iphone 4s.
    i DID manage to get through to the trade in team, and after explaining the situation, i was told that my problem could be escalated the the tech team. the anonymous trade-in woman transfers me to the normal VZW cust support line... huh?
    i wait again and finally get through. unlike the trade-in woman, the cust support rep immediately identifies himself. willie was as helpful as he was allowed to be, but sadly, that wasn't very much. the trade in people and VZW hold all of the cards.
    THEY say that the de-activation lock wasn't turned off, i say it was.
    there is no way to prove either assertion.
    there is no appeal.
    they just deny, deny, deny, as evidenced by all of the other complaints posted here and elsewhere.
    willie WAS able however, to get me an additional credit for my 'inconvenience'.
    while i genuinely appreciate his effort on my behalf, it doesn't absolve the company from the way they handle the trade-in program, whether it's farmed out to a 3rd party or not.
    i will be filing complaints with the PSC, BBB, and NYS Att'y General.

  • How to check status of sent PO related IDOCS to XI...

    Hello Experts,
    I was just given a task to create a report wherein I need to check the status of
    all PO(purchase order) related IDOCS that are sent to XI. Please tell me the steps on how to
    check if those IDOCS are sent successfully or not.
    Hope you can help me guys. Thank you and take care!

    Hi,
    In TCode- WE05 or WE02 you can check the status of idocs.
    Status 03 says :'Data passed to port OK', it means Data has reached to ur Destination(In ur case its XI).
    So just explore the above Tcode and see how you can fetch the status.
    Thanks.

  • Mac book pro has become very slow. How to analyze this and resolve this?

    My mac book pro has become very slow. How to analyze and resolve this?

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • How do I fully and cleanly uninstall unwanted apps?

    Have recently swapped from a Windows machine to a brand new and customised iMac. I've therefore had to accept that the OS is Mavericks and that pre-loaded on the machine are iPhoto and the iWork suite. I now wish to remove, if permitted, the following of these from the machine:
    iPhoto
    Keynote
    Numbers
    Games
    How can I do this fully and cleanly? I gather that you can do a 'shake' test for an app you want to delete from the machine and, if it's permitted to remove the app, you then drag its icon on to the Trash. But as I understand it this doesn't necessarily remove other extraneous files associated with the app. So, how do I discover what those are, where they're located, and what exactly to do with them?
    Incidentally, of the iWork suite I've decided to keep Pages.
    I'm a little concerned that perhaps uninstalling these apps might remove some files that are shared with other apps on the machine, including functions built into the operating system. Will that conceivably happen? Is iPhoto, for example, required to display images in Apple Mail, and is it also required for me to be able to import RAW and other images from a camera using direct drag 'n drop (into a folder of my own choosing)? And what about Preview? Will that get removed along with iPhoto?
    I only do serious work on my computer, and I want to keep this machine's contents lean and clean.

    Barney and Tony,
    Not sure if this reply will appear in the correct sequence in the discussion thread but I've had a look at those folders and files you mentioned, Barney. There was nothing in most of them. Library/Extensions exists as System/Library on my setup but I saw nothing in it pertaining to any of the three apps concerned.
    In <System>/Applications/Numbers/Contents I found such cryptic folders as:
    _Code Signature
    _MAS Receipt
    info.plist
    MAC OS
    Pkg info
    etc
    but, again, looking in these folders yielded nothing that appeared remotely associated with any of the three apps. In searches like this you can get right down to the very coding level if you wish, it seems. However, unless you're familiar with the coding you've no idea as to what these functions are, or how they interact with other apps and processes. And I'm certainly not.
    One thing I did come across, however, happened when I was looking at one of the more hidden-away user functions of the Apple Mail client and I noticed that apps such as iPhoto and PhotoBooth are involved in importing images into the client. That being so, it might be better for me not to remove iPhoto, since I use and rely on Apple Mail quite a lot.
    All in all, it's difficult for me to make an informed judgement on this. Possibly, Apple's now organised the uninstall of certain apps in a much fuller and cleaner way than before and so perhaps all I'd need to do, in reality, is to perform the 'wiggle' uninstall. But I just don't know. And there's always the danger that removing what are now some quite embedded apps could cause some other related app or utility to not function properly from hereon. So, in the end, I might have to just concede that I'm stuck with these apps.
    Possibly, the only way of ridding my machine of them is for me to perform at a later date a major cleanup, completely wiping the HD, and reinstalling Mavericks from scratch.
    If only Apple had never installed those apps in the first place! Why on earth did they have to be compulsory?! So much for Apple and their products being user-friendly! I'm disappointed in Apple over this.

  • How can I darken and clean up this logo?

    I drew this image and scanned it, and as you can tell the lines are very light and not precise. This is my original image:
    I'd like to digitiliaze this image and make it more professional and clean. I've tried image trace in illustator and many adjustments in photoshop. Here is my result:
    Much better than what i started with but still not professional and clean enough for branding. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!

    +1 to the Pen Tool.
    Once you have the logo as a well-drawn path, you can manipulate it easily.
    When you're drawing with the pen, try to create a minimum of points, and adjust the bezier handles to get your curves to align with your artwork fairly well.  Then once you've drawn the paths, you can turn the whole thing into a shape layer as described above, disable the artwork layer, then fine-tune it to look really good.
    Use the Control key while adding points with the path tool to move them around to fine tune things.   If you click in the wrong place, use the History to go back to redo one or more steps.
    Once you have the path just as you want it, you can turn it into some pretty amazing stuff...  Here's a 3D extrusion of the path, for example.
    Since I quickly drew the path to illustrate the above, I might as well provide you with a copy.  Click on the path with the direct selection tool to examine the points and bezier handles to get an idea of where I put them.
    After you practice with the pen for a while it will become natural to you, and you'll find you can almost magically match drawn curves.
    Have fun!

  • Slow iMac/how to identify "other" files and folders

    My iMac has slowed down considerably in the last 8 or 9 months. (OS 10.7.4) I get the beach ball on everything, whether trying to scroll through Gmail on the web, or switch from one application to another.  My photo library is very large (18,000 photos) and it's at a standstill most of the time.  Syncing my iPad can take 30 minutes. I'm working with Apple technician and have reset PRAM, done a disk utility check, and repaired permissions (there is still something wrong there). In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out why my storage is so high.  when I view "About this Mac" and "Storage, it lists Audio, Movies, Photos, Apps, Backups, and Other.   Is the other my Applications, as opposed to Apps?  Is there some way to get a listing of folder sizes?

    Is there a way of doing a clean install which takes the computer back to square one with just the basic info on it?
    Thanks!

    Boot from the restore disc. Go to the Apple menu and select Disk Utility. In Disk Utility, reformat the hard drive and choose the option to write all zeroes. After that is complete, use the restore disc to restore the iMac to its factory condition.
