Still waiting for today's scheduled repair.

Am I stupid, or what?  I called Verizon to schedule a repair.......Static on the line, then NO dial tone, then the dial tone returned but the STATIC continued, then NO dial tone.  Yes, my internet works....I was offered service times when I was working - so I said "NO", then a Saturday AM between 8 AM and 12 noon .......By 12:30 PM, I called Verizon to learn that they could show up as late as 7 PM, so I rescheduled for the following Saturday.  I have been waiting in my apartment, checking to make sure that my buzzer works, checking my computer for alerts (maybe they didn't think of e-mailing?), and checking the web site for a service update...The ticket is still open.  I have been waiting since 8 AM today, and it will be 11 PM in 5 minutes......What is wrong with this picture.

Pittsfiielder -- I've sent you a private message to get more information about your service issues.  Please respond back when you're able.  Thanks!

  • 2 months already and still waiting for apple provider to repair MacBook

    My girlfriend's macbook pro has the no video issue ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 ) We sent it to our local AASP from Honduras, they told us that Apple would refund everything, but it's been 2 months already and we are still waiting for Apple to send the materials.
    Is that normal?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    In the U.S. spreaking directly to Apple, you can ask for them to consider replacing your Mac within 3 weeks of sending it in, or three attempted repairs ont he same item. I suggest going over to the repair place, getting a case number they have with Apple, and contacting AppleCare directly.
    In Hondurous that would be:

  • 5 months + and still waiting for a phone line

    27/05/2013 Placed order for line and broadband. Paid for 1 year service in advance.
    This was to reconnect a line I had cancelled in in January as we started a major re-fit/renovation at our house and were out of it for 4 months. Transferred line to a new address at this time (different exchange)
    18/06/2013 Engineer scheduled to visit. - Waited in for 6hours, no one turned up, no contact made
    19/06/2013 No one got in touch. I telephoned. Problem with line. New appointment made for Monday 15 July 2013
    15/07/2013 Engineer did not turn up, no contact made again after waiting in most of day.
    16/07/2013 I called and told work on line not completed. They needed to do external work. Given assurance I would get a call on 21/07/2013 as work scheduled to be completed by then. It had been accelerated (had been told this before come to think of it)
    21/07/13 No one called, again
    22/07/2013 I called and told work still not completed but would be by 25/07/2013 so to call back and arrange an engineer visit appointment
    25/07/2013 I called , told work still not completed, would get a call by 29/07/2013 when work will be completed – to arrange another engineer visit. I filed online complaint
    29/07/2013 no call. I called, no update, call again in 2 weeks
    Numerous calls in August, and 2 online complaints. Now getting texts telling me there is no update and promising to get in touch by a certain date, they don't. New line needed as exchange reached capacity. Old line no good, have to lay a new one. Still being told order will be accelerated. Still waiting for the "advisor in our delays team to monitor the job and contact the engineers for a full investigation to be done so we can provide you with an accurate update."
    Still more calls in September along with numerous calls (me) and 2 from BT to say they have no update!
    Still being told the biggest load of rubbish as an excuse, eg me "but I had an active line in January" you "ah that is openreaches fault, they come and physically rip out and remove the wiring if a line is cancelled"   or: BT- "we cant talk to openreach ourselves, we can only email them" me - "that's funny as your colleague on the last call claimed to have spoken
    with them after leaving me on hold for 5 minutes" 
    October. Called today. ( now have a telephone number with a PIN number) Still no progress. They started digging on September 5th according to one email. I asked were they using a tea spoon, they even replied in email NO!
    What am I supposed to do now. I am to get an update "tomorrow", but going by all previous updates it will be we will call again in 10 days - the don't. Time spent waiting for engineers -  2 days, time spent on phone/emails etc - 5+ hours.

  • Forbidden Screen - Error: "Still waiting for root device"

    Greetings to all! I come to you with my boot troubles as a supplicant, in the hope that someone can help.
    I have a PowerBook G4 15-inch, pre-Intel from late 2005. Until today it always worked and rarely hanged. All I've ever needed to do when in trouble was reboot. I've updated the Apple OSX software regularly and have never touched the hardware, except once 18 months ago to add memory. All I do with this machine is use it. It's been weeks since I installed any new software.
    There were no warning signs before the problem started today.
    FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE: The machine was unusually slow, showing beach balls on every minor move. I powered down conventionally and later turned it on again. After a minute I got the "Forbidden Sign" grey screen, which I had never seen before. So I rebooted, and got that again.
    +I turned to the only other available machine (very old PC, unfortunately) to browse for solutions, and have so far tried the following:+
    1) BOOT FROM INSTALLATION DISK: Forbidden Screen. After a couple of attempts I removed the disk (by clicking trackpad on power up). At some point, in desperation, I even tried Disc 2.
    2) RESET PRAM (Command-Option-P-R on power up) : I got three chimes, then the grey screen. It stayed on the apple and gear for many minutes. At least it never went to the Forbidden Screen.
    3) FILE SYSTEM CHECK (Option-S on power up) : After a few steps it shows error messages (see below) and starts repeating, "Still waiting for root device," over and over.
    4) RESET NVRAM (Command-Option-O-F on power up) : I got a blue screen with text and was able to input "reset-nvram" (response: OK) and then "boot." Result: Forbidden Screen.
    5) SAFE START (Option on power up) : Forget it. Forbidden Screen. Same when I try it with "C" as some sites recommend. Same with or without the Install Disk in the DVD driver.
    6) POWER MANAGEMENT UNIT RESET (Shift-Control-Option-Power): Subsequent boot still produces Forbidden Screen.
    *THE ERROR MESSAGES*
    Here are some of the messages when I start up with Option-S:
    CSRHIDTransitionDriver::probe booting in single user .. do not match
    Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTCKeyboard" has no kernel dependency.
    Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTCKeyEventDriver" has no kernel dependency.
    Apple PMU::CLOCK RESET! PMU WAS PROBABLY RESET SOMEHOW!! +(Yes, I did that, but it wasn't showing this before I did, and it WAS showing all of the following.)+
    Security auditing service present
    BSM auditing present
    disabled
    rooting via boot-uuid from /chosen: +(I think the long code that follows is the serial number?)+
    Waiting on <dict ID="o"><key>IOProviderClass</key><string ID="1">IOResources</string><key>IOResourceMatch</key><string ID="2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict>
    PMUMS::start ERROR: failed to find IOATABlockStorageDriver
    Still waiting for root device
    Still waiting for root device
    Still waiting for root device
    +(etc. ad infinitum)+
    *So now I'm begging anyone for answers to these questions:*
    Am I doomed?
    Does anyone know what the problem is?
    This seems to be happening prior to disk access, as it happens with or without the Install Disk. So do I still have the hard drive working? Is my data on it?!
    Was resetting the Power Management Unit a bad idea?
    What can I do next?
    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
    Nicholas from NYC

    Thanks for your reply, Louie!
    In the meantime I have succeeded in booting via the Install Disc using Option on power up. The Hardware test shows nada wrong. Disk Util repair goes up to "Rebuilding Category B-Tree" and then fails. Frustratingly, the HD is somehow visible, because the diagnostics correctly identify it and give correct values for empty space. Right now I'm running the Erase Free Space option and it's working - how is that possible? I've gotten into Single User mode and tried various FSCK commands. Sometimes it comes back with the superblock error and "Bad Magic Number" which I believe indicates a corrupted block within the boot sector. I can't figure out how to reassign without reformatting and losing the data. This will cost me a few weeks of data, but really not that much work - still set me back by days.
    Next step will be to start taking it apart, as you suggest, starting with the easy matter of trying with just one DIMM or switching the DIMMs.
    Thanks again, and if anyone knows how to help - how does one reassign a superblock from the Single User mode?

  • 10.6.8 Netboot - "Still waiting for root device"

    Hi all,
    I am having trouble with one particular 10.6.8 Netboot image that is hosted on a Mac Pro running 10.5.8 Server.  (The main 10.5.8 Server is currently hosting about 15 other Netboot and Netrestore images that work with no problem.)  I built the image on a 10.6.8 Server using System Image Utility from a fully updated 10.6.8 restore image on an external hard drive.  The external drive was started up on MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac systems ranging from Late '06 to Early '11 revisions.  Software update was run on every startup, but came back fully up-to-date every time and never encountered problems starting up each from the external drive.
    I then ran Disk Utility permissions repair on the external drive from the 10.6.8 Server Mac Pro and built the Netboot image in System Image Utility.  Although I am fairly new to this process, I have already successfully built several 10.6.8, 10.7.5, 10.8.5, and 10.9 Netrestore images as well as one 10.9 diagnostic Netboot that all work perfectly.  I followed the same process when creating the 10.6.8 Netboot image.
    The image I created, called 10.6.8 Diags 3.0, shows up in the Netboot list, but when I attempt to boot it shows the Apple logo for a bit before showing the "circle slash" symbol.  Verbose mode shows that it hangs when starting and repeats "Still waiting for root device" over and over again and never does anything.
    I have rebuilt the 10.6.8 Diags 3.0 Netboot image several times to rule out the possibility of corruption durring image creation.  I have also tried to create the image from a Firewire attached external drive as well as building the data on the external drive into a .dmg on the 10.6.8 Server and then creating the image from that.  All methods of creating the image yeild the same "Still waiting for root device" error when attempting to start up on any system supporting the 10.6.8 kernel.
    Netboot settings in Server Admin are the same as other Netboot images that are functioning: enabled, diskless, Intel (grayed out), and NFS.  I have verified that all enabled image index numbers are unique and even tried several different index numbers on the problem Neboot image.
    Again, all other Netrestore images I created on the same 10.6.8 Server work just fine when added to the Netboot directory on the 10.5.8 Main Server, but the Netboot image of 10.6.8 Diags 3.0 does not.  I'm not sure what else to try at this point, any ideas?

    Ooooh. I've been reading similar pages on cidori.org and just assumed it was one of those. Remarkable how my google searches didn't find that one. Thanks for the pointer, and I'll go try it.
    Thanks again, Dan.

  • Automatically upgrade any superseded versions of this application not auto installing - Status always waiting for next maintenance schedule

    Hello,
    I'm trying to deploy an application to a user group with the option checked for "Automatically upgrade any superseded versions of this application" but it never auto installs.
    - The application is set to install to system whether the user is logged on or off. 
    - We do have user affinity, therefore the user does have a one or more primary devices setup.  
    - If I run the install manually, it will superseded and install the new application and uninstall the old applications.
    - The estimated installtion time minutes is set to 0
    - The maxmimum allowed run time is set to 120 minutes.
    We're on version SCCM 2012 SP1.
    My assumption of how it should work
    If the user is logged in or NOT and it's during the maintenance window, it should auto install the application. Maybe I'm wrong.
    Here's the scenario.
    User JohnDoe has application Viewer 1.0 installed on his machine.  He installed this app via the SCCM application catalog.   We now need to deploy Viewer 2.0 of this application.   I want to ensure when it's deployed it replaces Viewer 1.0 hence
    the reason to check the "auto upgrade.."check box.   
    Here's what happens. In software center, it will pre-downlaod the software and then set the status to "Waiting for next maintenance schedule".  The problem is that the status stays like this forever.   We do have maintenance windows set
    on the device collection that JohnDoe's primary device is part of.  Here are our maintenance windows.
    - Daily - 9PM to 5AM = 8 hours
    - Weekly - Saturday - 12:00AM to 12:00 = 24 hours
    - Weekly - Sunday - 12:00AM to 12:00 = 24 hours
    Coordinated UTC is not checked.
    The business hours in software center are set to 5am to 10pm.
    One would assume that it would auto install during the night since we have a big maintenance windows. I checked the ServiceWindowmanager.log and it does seem to show the various maitnenance windows.
    Here's what I've tried
    - If I make the deployment required, it will install right away regarless of maintenance windows.  However, i don't want to use this option because if the user logs in to other machine (e.g. boardroom computer), it will auto install this software.  
    - If JohnDoe clicks install in Software center or application catalog, it works.  There's nothing wrong with the packages.  The issue seems to be related with the maintenance windows. 
    - If I disable the maintenance windows, then it seems to work but only when I'm logged in.  It still does not work if I'm logged out.  It only kicks off the installation when I login if it's not during the business hour set in software center.  
     We need the maintenance windows since we don't want windows patching to occur during the day.
    - I searched and ran the report to ensure there's not another maintenance windows setup that would prevent this from installing.
    Our current workaround
    To ensure users are using the latest version, we deploy the application required for a couple of days, then delete that deployment once we reach a high 90%.  The problem with that is if some computers are turned off, they would be using the older version
    and it will never get upgraded unless the user installs it manually.
    Has anyone encountered this?  Any other log files I should look at? Anything else I should verify ?  I know in SCCM 2012 R2, you can set the maintenance window to only apply this schedule to software update (patching) but that option doesn't seem
    to be available in SCCM 2012 SP1.
    Any help, suggestiong, I will take.  Thanks.

    - If I make the deployment required, it will install right away regarless of maintenance windows.  However, i don't want to use this option because if the user logs in to other machine (e.g. boardroom computer), it will auto install this software. 
    Re-check your deployment, specially the user experience:
    If you've checked the box next to "Software installation", it will install after the deadline has passed and ignores maintenance windows. Change the deployment to required and uncheck that box and the software should be installed according to your
    maintenance windows.

  • Still waiting for root device

    I had an XServ serve that we could not get Profile Manager running after the 2.2 update in Dec 2012. Re tried rolling back various folder  since we have time machine running and backing up to an external Apple RAID.  Eventually I gave up anddecided it was time to restore the whole server from Time Machine.  I booted the XServ up with a 10.8 DVD and Chose "Restore Server from Backup". I then chose one of the full backups it listed. It restored the Time Machine backup.  However, when it boots. I get the Apple logo and then a circle with a slash and a pinwheel. Booting in Single User mode I find it is constantly waiting at " Still waiting for root device" and goes no further.
    The internal hard drives in the XServe are a RAID as well as having the external Apple rack mounted RAID connected via a card in the XServe.

    See if you can start up in Safe Mode. This will take awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
    If this works you will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, try to restart normally, and go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
    Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, and repair permissions on it.
    If you can't start up in Safe Mode, maybe something in this Apple Knowledge Base article will help:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106805
    Or it may be time to invest in a disk utility such as DiskWarrior.

  • Customer service promised me call back in 24 hrs but it has been 72 hrs and I m still waiting for the call,,,,,

    Apple sent me replacement phones and both with different coverage on them. Repair coverage finishing lot earlier then what I had on the original defective phones. Now they are telling me that he phones they received were different then the ones in Repair Case. After 150 minutes long phone call the rep said me that somebody will call me within 24 hrs and I m still waiting for the call after 3 days. the conversation was polite and helpful all the way from both sides but now I feel like Apple reps are trying to avoid this problem because this is their problem that most likely they misplaced my phones in their wharehouse and after my call (one week after the phones received by apple) they started looking for it.
    I had the repair status updated in my profile after I received the new wrong phones. Even the acknowledgement email from apple mentioning that they have sent out the replacement product came to my inbox two days after I received the phones.
    Is this Mr.Jobs Apple ?
    Does anyone has Customer service email address ?

    I know there is a contact us tab on the web page and thats what I have mentioned here that what happened when I called them.
    thanks for ur input though,

  • Anyone still waiting for xgrade? Or: I still haven't received my discs....

    Hi all,
    I ordered my XGrade discs on 2/7, and they were shipped on 2/29. I am in Los Angeles. I still haven't received them, and I am getting a little antsy.
    THe email describes media mail as '3-7 days' (I am beyond that now) and I don't think it can be tracked....
    Is anyone else still waiting for their crossgrade discs to arrive, with a similar ship date as mine ?
    Thanks!
    dan

    Media mail IS totally dependent on the originating post office. Some have managers/supervisors who say: If it comes in today, it goes out today. Others could give a rat's behind, and they let it pile up in a big hamper. When it gets too heavy to deal with, they load it on a truck to go to a sorting station.
    don't get me started on the postal service. If junk mailers had to pay full freight on all the cr@p they send, OUR rates would still be about 14 cents for first class.
    When did we all stop being citizens and start being consumers? We are subsidizing the junk mailers. My favorite revenge is taking one mailers stuff and putting it in another's prepaid envelope and sending it. If we all did that, maybe SOMEONE would wake up to the whole stupidity of junk mail.
    OK-- off soapbox now.

  • Single User Mode: Still waiting for root device

    iMac G4.
    I reset the NVRAM, PRAM. It won't attempt to boot from anything but a OS 10.4 cd; booting from OS 9 cd just leaves me at the flashing question mark icon.
    If I try to boot from OS X cd, it comes back with the prohibitory sign.
    If I try to boot into single user mode, it gives me a bunch of "...."has no kernal dependency lines, then a 'still waiting for root device' line, and repeats that.
    Something to the effect before the 'still waiting for root device' is "Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOProvider-Class</key><string ID="1">IOResouces</string><key>IOResouceMatch></key><string ID="2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict>"
    Any help please?

    Nevermind...I found out that the hard drive was bad...still puzzles me why it wouldn't boot from CD though, as I thought they all should even if no drive is present.

  • HT1577 how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a 5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:1

    how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a >5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:10pm. Not good enough.

    Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
    Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
    Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
    Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
    I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
    Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

  • Still waiting for a response from Adobe regarding the post "Printing a pdf from a marked-up pdf".

    Still waiting for a response from Adobe regarding the post "Printing a pdf from a marked-up pdf" dated 15 Dec 2012 9:20 AM.

    Look everyone that comes here with a support problems has gone through all the normal channels, around and  round in circles with no one seeming to be interested. They've called every phone number, every email address they can find. They have been put on hold and bounced fifty times to another operator only to be hung up on. If Adobe would bring back support to main land and have people that know what's going on instead of having people that people can barely understand read from scripts. Scripted information only applies about 10 % of the time. I'm just giving people an alternative. after they have torn their hair out going the normal route.  If they had been able to get a solution they wouldn't be coming here for help.
    There should be a forum set up just for people to air these issues and Adobe employees forced to man it. Then we wouldn't have to have such a Bad attitude. Right now Adobe's Support reputation is worse than Intuit's which did have the absolutely worse on the Planet. Now they are number 2.
    You know it yourself that Adobe's support is absolutely worse than terible. However to prevent me from being banned from the forums I will simply will provide the adobecare email address from now on
    So let's sweep it under the rug.

  • IBook is not starting up - "still waiting for root device"

    The 600 MHz / 640 MB / 20 GB iBook did not want to wake up and after forced shutdown would not start up. grey screen. With MacOS X CD - "prohibition sign", MacOs 9 - no start at all
    I had 2 partitions on the HD one with Tiger and other with 9.2.2 - none of them appear in the list of startUp folders. would not go into the Target mode.
    I know there are few threads here with similar problem - I went through them but nothing of the suggestions would help.
    Did reset the PRAM (only once though) - when I still heard the startUp chime
    Did reset PMU
    Left the machine unplugged for about 12 hours
    Now I managed to get into single user mode while attempting to start up from a Tiger DVD. Here is what I see on the screen:
    "using 1638 buffer headers and 1638 cluster IO headers

    iBook dual USB   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    thanx for replying. Last night I finally managed to start up the machine using a FireWire ext HD as a StartUp Disk. Disk Utility and TechTool Pro and Disk Warrior are not showing the internal HD at all.
    Since I was not able to use any start CDs including original MacOs X and 9 Cds maybe it is a problem with Data Cable that connects both HD and optical drive with logic board? It is hard to imagine why it would come to something like that. Overheat? I did not have enough free space on Tiger partition - 1GB. Maybe that. I am starting to look for a replacement HD....
