Switching from post paid to prepaid questions

Can I switch from post paid to prepaid and keep my same number? Can I also keep my same phone? I very rarely use more than 2gb of data and could save $30/month if this is possible.

Which phone do you have? Currently only 3G only smartphones can be activated on the Verizon Wireless prepaid plans for smartphones. You should also be out of contract for your postpaid account.

Migrating post paid to prepaid nightmare

Can someone tell me how long it takes to migrate a phone number from post paid to prepaid. We purchased a prepaid phone last Monday...and have talked to customer service Wednesday for an hour...and Saturday night for over two hours...but still today they have not managed to migrate the number from our post paid verizon phone to our new verizon prepaid phone. This is the same company, isn't it? Why is this so hard?

Transfer number from post-paid to pre-paid.

After many hours spent with many different verizon people, i finally managed to switch my postpaid plan with a broken phone to a prepaid plan with a functional phone without changing my phone number. however, in order to complete the transaction, the associate deleted my postpaid account and began the prepaid account as if i was a new customer. this means that i have lost all of my contacts which were backed up through backup assistant, as well as the photos i had uploaded to the verizon media thing, and any texts and/or voicemails sent to my phone in the 10 days it wasn't working.
is there any way to merge the new account with the old account? what about the contacts i had stored in backup assistant? please help.

ajamba, We apologize for the hassle with getting the prepaid phone activated. Were you trying to keep your old phone number? Was the post paid account still under a contract?

Considering Switching from Cubase (finally). Some questions.

I've been a cubase user for the past 10 years and am a little tired of Steinberg's lack of support and the fact that they break more things than the fix in their updates. I've been to a friends studio (who just switched to a Mac)and am trying to get familiar with Logic before I plunk down the dollars. He has a 4 core mac pro with 4gb ram.
Here are my questions:
1. When you record arm the track, why does the audio engine "glitch"? The cubase engine wouldn't drop out sound because of arming a track.
2. Is there a way to have the program auto record arm a selected audio track the way cubase does?
3. When you "arm" a audio track, why are you limited to what functions you can perform on the mixer,etc? Is there a way around this.
I would really appreciate any help possible. The Logic 8 studio package is really tempting for a million reasons, but the above things seem to get in the way of my workflow.

Initially, I missed my productivity. I was quite comfortable in Cubase and very quick at getting around. But after a while I was just as productive in Logic. I miss that Cubase's meters and song position locater are dead accurate: Logic's channel meters and play head are WAY ahead of where they should be once you start using a bunch of high-latency plug-ins. I've been told to accept this, but I think it's ridiculous.
Right, this is part of Logic's flawed PDC and buffering scheme, it makes it a pain to use for some of the commercials that I do. If I'm working on my own stuff it's not so bad but it's something that needs to be re-thought from the ground up.
I can tell you what I don't miss. I don't miss the mixer - I've heard that some people prefer it over Logic's but I just don't understand this. I find Logic's mixer to be much more efficient. I don't miss the way Cubase handles touch automation. I don't miss the crashing -
I'm using Cubase on PC with the same RME card that's in my Mac, (not the same card, but same make/model) and it's rock solid on the PC. I 've upgraded to the latest version of 4.xx and it's fixed most outstanding issues I've had. I was a long time Logic user on PC from the early MIDI only days and used it up through version 4 which was bad news. Trying over the past year to get back into Logic, there's a lot to like, I need something with a little more whoomph than the dual 1.8G5. OSX is certainly ummm. what did they use to call Windows, bloated. I can't believe how much overhead OSX has, Tiger is better, Panther flew, such is the price of progress.
Oh and I don't miss having to turn off my monitor manually when Cubase was running as it would interfere with the screen saver and energy settings. Although this was relatively minor, it was completely unacceptable and extremely annoying. I sincerely hope it's been fixed in recent versions of Cubase.
I never minded the monitor thing, nor the fact that the computer didn't sleep when Cubase was running. OSX and some audio interfaces lose connecton if/when the computer goes to sleep or a screensaver opens. Seems more professional, they could make it an option though. I think most users disable those OSX features when using their machines for Audio/MIDI.
As far as the colors go, you'll forget all about it once you start colorizing your regions.
Didn't you use the custom color setup?
When working on my own material I've often gone back and forth between the two as ideas develop differently on each platform.
Have fun!

Switching from PC to Mac, have question about processing speed

Hi, I am going to buy a used Mac off of ebay and I am pretty clueless about where to start. I am not very knowledgable when it comes to the difference in processing speeds on pc's and apples both and have just been using what has been passed along. I am on a budget and cannot afford to do a bunch of upgrades when I get a new (to me) apple. I am currently working on a old pc (8 years?) that has had as many upgrades as it can handle. It is a Pentium III 548 mhz, 384 mb of ram and 40g hd on Windows XP. The Apple that I am stuck on getting right now is a G3 with a bunch of upgrades. It is an Imac PowerPC g3 with a 600mhz processor, 512 mb of memory, 120 gb hard drive. It has OS X 10.4 Tiger and ILife and has a single processor. It has a airport extreme card also. My question is 1) Does it take less mhz and ram to run the operating system for an apple and 2) am I going to notice a big difference in speed between what I have now and with the apple? The g3 is $249 and comes with a 90 day guarantee minus shipping. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

I'd save your money or apply it to an Apple G4 (AGP or newer) tower. Depending on how it was configured, you may find that your PIII was a little faster loading web pages than the 600 MHz iMac. My 1 GHz P3s are faster than my iMac DV G3-400 MHz models. I think $249 plus shipping for a 5 or 6 year-old iMac is a bit high. I picked up one of my G3-400 MHz iMac DVs for $20 at a thrift store. If there are any in your area that accept donated computers, you might want to check for a local bargain. While the 600 MHz model that you described is loaded, that's about as far as it goes, other than bumping the memory to 1 GB, but that would likely involve removing a pair of 256 MB DIMMs already in it, and buying a pair of 512 MB DIMMs. If it has a single 512 MB DIMM installed, you wouldn't have to spend as much. Selling the computer with Tiger installed but without the OS installer media will eventually put you in a bind, when you'll need to boot from the installer CD to perform disk repair maintenance. Some may consider Tiger to be a bit demanding of that iMac's system resources, preferring the predecessor "Panther" instead. The bottom line is that the iMac is somewhat limited, in terms of design (no PCI slots) and/or future upgrade potential. If it will suit your needs as a starter Mac, try finding a comparable model for less. You might also check for used computer dealers in your area, as that saves the cost of shipping, and return shipping - if there's a problem. The G4 tower has more potential for hardware tweaking, if you decide to stick with the Mac OS. You can find G4 towers at eBay selling for less than $249, but you'd need to have a monitor. Is space at a premium, in terms of a preference for the iMac's compact form factor? There is a direct correlation between the OS version and the optimal processor speed and amount of installed memory to adequately run it. OS X needs/uses more memory than the older, pre-OS Mac versions, just as Vista or XP2 requires more memory than Windows Me or 98SE. A comparison of Intel's P3s to Apple's G3s or G4s gets into the debate over which one handles more instructions per clock cycle than the other at a given speed. It's difficult to do a head-to-head comparison, because the hardware and software is not the same.

Switching from Windows to Mac(iTunes question!!)

Okay so I have an account on iTunes and have bought alot of stuff. I have a video iPod and my parents just orderd me a macbook for my birthday. Okay so is there a way I can make sure my library and account and everything can be on my macbook too? One time I tried to plug my iPod into my friends computer to put her shows on my iPod and it went cuckoo.
How can I make sure I move my whole library over to my macbook? xD I'm new at this.

Don't worry about the 'friends computer' situation coming up again. You're working with your own library and you are merely moving it to a different computer. Lots of ways to get your music and video files onto the MacBook.
Your family have a network? (Could be the easiest way.)
You could burn all the files to DVD's or CD's. (You should already have all your media backed up anyways)
As already said, flash drives are also a possibility.
Just copy/move the media files to the macbook. Then authorize the macbook. Authorizing is found under the "Store" iTunes menu item. You can authorize up to 5 computers to play media purchased from the iTunes Store.
You don't have to "take your account" over to the macbook. When you visit the iTunes store when using your macbook just sign in with your existing account ID and password and you'll be good to go.
Hey, enjoy the mac world you are entering. I'm a relatively new adopter and am really happy with it.

Switching from PC - Have a few questions

I have read the forums and talked to AppleCare support and I have a few questions on the Mac Pro.
1. I was told by Apple that using RAM other than the overpriced "Apple" brand would void the warranty (I typically use matched Mushkin or Crucial)- is there any point in getting the AppleCare insurance then?
2. Appple told me that Western Digital Raptor 10,000 RPM HD's were not supported, yet I see a number of you use this drive - are you using a SATA adapter or putting it one of the 4 drive bays?
3. Am I limited to Apple's Superdrive DVD/CD or will any ATAPI drive work?
4. The graphics card situation is pathetic - does anyone know is there are planned updates before I spend $700 on 2 ATI 1900's to run 2 30" Cinema displays. Does Apple typically come out with new products at the same time each year?
5. Does anyone know of software to control multiple monitors i.e. Designate virtual desktops on a specific monitor, or specify that Application A opens on monitor 1 while Application B opens on monitor 2?
Any help will be appreciated - Apple doesn't seem to be very forthcoming on these topics - I am still anxious to rid myself of the virus a day problem and Microsoft software that becomes slower and less productive with every revision.

1. I was told by Apple that using RAM other than the overpriced "Apple" brand would void the warranty (I typically use matched Mushkin or Crucial)- is there any point in getting the AppleCare insurance then?
It won't void the warrantee (unless you damage the computer when installing it), but it won't be covered. If it goes for service, remove the non-Apple memory first (it's a good idea to do that first, anyway, to see if it fixes the problem).
2. Appple told me that Western Digital Raptor 10,000 RPM HD's were not supported, yet I see a number of you use this drive - are you using a SATA adapter or putting it one of the 4 drive bays?
Same as above.
3. Am I limited to Apple's Superdrive DVD/CD or will any ATAPI drive work?
No. Most ATA (or SATA) optical drives will work.
5. Does anyone know of software to control multiple monitors i.e. Designate virtual desktops on a specific monitor, or specify that Application A opens on monitor 1 while Application B opens on monitor 2?
Many application remember the last monitor they used. Some (e.g. Graphics Converter) have preference settings to put the main window on one display, the controls on the other. Some (e.g QuickTime Player, VLC have view settings to put the full screen output on a selected monitor.

Can I port my number if switching from a post-paid to a pre-paid and back to a post-paid?

This is a little convoluted, so I'll use bullet points.
1) I am currently on a family plan that is paid for by my former employer. I need to leave that plan by the end of this month.
2) I would like to port the number from this plan to a pre-paid plan on Verizon for 2 months.
3) After 2 months, I would like to port the same number back to a post-paid plan.
Is this possible? I understand I'll have to downgrade to a 3G phone for that time.
The only reason I want to do it this way is I want the new iPhone in October and if I sign a 2-year contract tomorrow, I won't be able to buy a new phone, right?
Or is the new phone not tied to when you start your contract, but rather to the last time you purchased a new phone? If that's the case, can I port my number to a new contract, use my old phone and buy the new one in October at the subsidized rate?
Thanks very much in advance!
Tracy

Well I think you can get the best answers if you walk into a VZW store. But to my knowledge, you will be able to convert your existing number and start a prepaid plan. Then once you have the prepaid plan, I believe it must be on the Prepaid account six months before you can convert it back to a contract account.
And as for the new phone, as long as you start your new contract with your existing phone, you should be able to get the new iPhone in october at the the discounted rate, the same rate you would get if starting a new contract.

Switching from FCP7 to CS6! Two BIG questions I can't figure out...

Hello!
So I'm running CS6.01 on my new 27" iMac running OS 10.6.8. I'm excited to be transitioning over to CS6 after the last 6 or 7 years using Final Cut Pro. But I don't have time to mess around as I'm in the middle of projects so here are my 2 main questions right off the bat:
First I should say that I edit AVCHD footage shot from Panasonic HMC150's. I shoot Weddings. About 35-40/year. In FCP, my workflow was...shoot EVERYTHING at 720p60 and TRANSCODE it in FCP to ProRes Proxy. Then I'd CONFORM it to 23.98 (using Cinema Tools which takes all of about 30 seconds to do 400 clips) so that it was all in slow-mo looking smooth and beautiful. Then, I'd drop it all on the timeline and edit. Most clips I need in slow-mo but the ones I don't (eg. the Ceremony) I just speed up 250% and it's full speed. Then at the end of editing I'd batch capture and re-transcode to ProRes 422 and I'm done. It all looks great.
Here's the important thing:
I edit on a 23.98fps timeline that way it maintains a bit of the film-stuttery look instead of the video/soap-opera look of 60fps footage and also it naturally has everything at 40% smooth slow-mo. I dont want that video/soap opera look that I would get if I edited my 60p footage on a 60p timeline! This is important to me.
1) I know with CS6 I don't "have" to transcode, but I can just ingest and edit the AVCHD files natively, right? Well, okay, but if I do that will dropping those 60p clips on a 23.98fps timeline give me the same look I got when I use to conform the footage first? Specifically is it just as smooth to just change the speed of a 60p clip by 40% and drop it on a 24p timeline? And what about the stuff I want at full speed...if I drop that 60p footage right on the timeline and don't speed it up it will be full speed but will it look the same as my conformed footage looked when sped up in FCP? Please elaborate for me.
2) Audio. When I bring in audio clips from my 2 cameras each track has 2 separate audio feeds (eg. 2 wireless mics, a shotgun mic, an internal mic). CS6 brings them in on one track. I read up where I need to "Modify the clips" and adjust the Audio Channels so that there are 2 tracks. Then I'm guessing I just make one track the left track and one the right? This seems to work and makes a separate track that is balanced to the center and has each of the 4 channels as its own separate adjustable track. Am I doing that right? And more importantly...my real question...if I'm scrubbing thru the timeline and I double click on one of the audio tracks to bring up the waveform and edit, sometimes it doesn't come up where I stopped in the timeline. Unless the clips are linked. But don't I have to unlink them to edit them individually? So how do I do this where I can be in the timeline, watching the video and when I hear something I want to adjust, I stop the video and quickly access the individual track (eg. one of the wireless mics) to make the adjustments?
Hope my questions make sense. Thanks SO much in advance for all your help! It took me like 20 minutes to figure out how to post a question but now that I've done it I'm very excited that I've got it out there and hopefully I'll get past my current workflow roadblocks. Thank you!!!!!!!

I'd recommend a different work flow. Shoot what you want at full speed in 720p/24. Shoot what you want in slow motion at 720p/60...
I would respectfully disagree with Jim's statement and endorse the OP's technique of shooting at 60 fps for purposes of playback at both normal speed and slow motion at 24 fps.
I think the more creative choices you give yourself in post the better.
Since you (DMH79) are using the same footage for both normal speed and slow motion playback, I think your way is definitely the way to go as long as you are happy with the resolution.
Even if you were not using the same clips at different speeds, I would still disagree with the opinion that you should be able to predict in advance which shots from a hectic live action event such as a wedding you will want to use in slow motion. In fact, I would go so far as to say that it would be impossible, no matter how easy it is to switch modes.
Given that slow motion is a reasonable priority for you, I think there is much less to be gained by shooting at 24 fps for clips that you might use at normal speed than by giving yourself the option of both normal speed and slow motion with a 60 fps recording. (To me the bigger tradeoff is not being able to shoot 1080p at 60 fps, which I think applies to your HMC150.)
I love the look of 24p and will shoot that way for scripted work or if I am absolutely certain that I won't want to use a single shot in slow motion, but for many live events, my preference is to shoot at 720p60, shutter angle 180, for eventual output at 30 fps. I edit in a 60 fps timeline in Premiere, but I export at 30 fps. I find that exporting at 30 fps in combination with the 1/120 shutter speed removes much of the soap opera look (a great description, by the way), but there is no jerkiness in normal speed clips because 30 is exactly half of 60. Media Encoder simply removes every other frame during export. Yet, this allows me to drop any clip to 50% speed and achieve perfectly matched, silky smooth slow motion.
You probably prefer the 40% speed slow motion and added stutter of 24 fps, but regardless, if you do find that controlling the speed via Speed/Duration is equal in quality to conforming, you may want to consider cutting in a 60 fps timeline and giving yourself the option to export at either 24 or 30 fps.
Your last post on this topic was from a few months ago. I also switched from FCP7 and would be very curious to know what you have discovered!

Can my service and phone # be switched from my LG Cosmos to a LG Accolade that was a prepaid phone?

I don't want to change my plan or phone #. I just want to switch devices. I bought the Accolade as a prepaid phone.

Do you have a pre-paid or contract account? How long was the Accolade used as a pre-paid phone? If you are under contract, and the Accolade was used as a pre-paid for at least 6 months, I think you can switch it to a post paid account. Call customer service to see if the Accolade can be activated using your current number and plan.

BI switching to new ECC 6.0 box from R/3 4.7, question on delta init?

Hi all,
Our BI has been already upgraded to 7.0. Currently connected to R/3 4.7.
Now a new box is made with ECC 6.0 and Oracle 8 which is a mirror copy of the r/3 4.7.Once the new box is ready the BI 7.0 connection will be switched from R/3 4.7 to the new box ECC 6.0.
My question is ...
In the R/3 4.7 the datasources were already initialized for delta..so the pointer for delta was already setup.
Now when we connect the new ECC box do I have to initialize delta again ? or would the new system recognize the pointer since it is a mirror copy from the old system?
pls advice

Hi,
you would have added the new ECC source system to the BI.
I that case I think you need to initialize the Data again.
As all other requirements for delta like the pointer in delta queue might not be set for the new datasources.
I havent tried such thing till. but as per the concepts I understand You need to initialize the data
Regards
Praeon

Switching From Windows To Mac: ACR Database, Bridge Cache Questions

I am planning to switch from Windows XP to the Mac running Leopard. I am now running CS2 in Windows, but will upgrade to CS3 on the Mac. I am maintaining my RAW file settings in ACR central database and my Bridge cache in a centralized cache file. I've searched the forums but couldn't find answers to my migration questions: 1. Can one move the ACR database file from Windows (in folder C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw) to a folder somewhere on the Mac to preserve the settings on RAW files that are also moved to the Mac? Or does one need to export individual XMP files for the RAW files in Windows and move both the RAW files and their associated XMP files to the Mac? 2. I have a similar question for migrating the Bridge cache from Windows XP to the Mac. Can one somehow move the Bridge cache over (I think it's in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge\Cache\Thumbnails\) or do I need to export the cache for each folder and subfolder and move them over along with the folders and subfolders? I would appreciate any help or pointers to any Adobe documents or directions. Thank you.

Man-Kong,
Since you said that you were also migrating from CS2 to CS3 I would have said that their cache files were incompatible. That is what I experienced with CS1, CS2, and CS3 in the past. But Thomas indicated it should work. I must be missing something.
The XMP files move fine for me. The local cache (folder) files have completely different names with each version and I see no evidence that they can be shared. This is also a problem with archived CDs. CS3 always has to rebuild cache if they were archived from CS1 or CS2.
Since the central cache must have some folder references, and this structure will be completely different on Mac, I dont see how it can work. It doesnt work for scripts or actions either.
So my humble recommendation is to set your preferences to store cache and XMP files in the local folders where possible. Then simply bite the bullet. Each time you visit a folder for the first time in the new environment, cache will be rebuilt.
Cheers, Rags :-)
