Terminal: Strict capitalization enforcement
I've been getting started setting up my development environment on a fresh Mavericks install -- 10.9.4 on a 15" Retina MBPro.
While working through command line in terminal, I accidentally stumbled onto something I didn't expect, and was hoping someone else could validate. I typically type my way through directories utilizing "tab" to autocomplete directories so I can traverse quicker. At one point, I accidentally typed a short named directory that was capitalized, without capitalizing it and it still allowed me to continue to traverse and work within said directory.
A simple example:
While in my home directory, I can move to the Documents directory with our without capitalization.
Bezerker:~ csmith$ cd documents
Bezerker:documents csmith$ pwd
/Users/csmith/documents
Bezerker:documents csmith$ cd ..
Bezerker:~ csmith$ cd Documents
Bezerker:Documents csmith$ pwd
/Users/csmith/Documents
Autocomplete via "tab" does NOT work; however, I can still traverse these directory structures with invalid names.
Can anyone else reproduce this or tell me what "feature" I've enabled?
Thanks!
That's normal. The HFS filesystem is case-insensitive by default.

Using 3rd party tags in JSF application
I have a 3rd party tag library used previously in a Struts application to check if an user is authenticated / has logged in. The tag looks like this: <authn:authenticate userVarName="user" scope="session" errorPage="error.jsp" successPage="/faces/Page1.jsp"></authn:authenticate>. One unusual thing about the tag is that the uri for it references a jar file that includes the tld.
I can build the app okay but deployment fails with the following error:
Deploying application in domain failed; Error loading deployment descriptors for authapp Line 91 Column 10 -- cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'taglib'.

The tag's tld is <tlib-version>1.1</tlib-version> <jsp-version>1.2</jsp-version>. I'm not sure if this is the problem or if 3rd party tags don't necessarily work within JSF (am using Creator) without modification. Does anyone have any advise on this? Should 3rd party tags work? If not, how do they need to be modified or turned into a component to work? This tag doesn't display anything - it checks if users have logged in and redirects them to another site to login if they did not log in.

sstgermainThanks for your reply! I do have the jar file, which includes the .tld, in my WEB-INF/lib
On Page1.jsp I tried using <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/lib/myLibrary.jar" prefix="myTag" %> but got errors so I moved it to <jsp:root version="1.2" xmlns:myTag="/WEB-INF/lib/myLibrary.jar"...Should the <%@taglib uri = work? When I tried to use <%@taglib version I got errors saying strict xml enforced.
I am using the format prefix:tag format <myTag:checkaccess userVarName="user"
scope="session"
errorPage="error.jsp" ></myTag:checkaccess>
Do I need to somehow convert this tag into a component?
I think the jar is fine since I'm using it in a number of other applications.

I have a 3rd party tag library, used previously in Struts apps, that I would like to use in a JSF application. The tag checks if a user has logged in to the app and redirects to a login site if not. It doesn't display anything to the screen. Should a 3rd party tag that worked with JSP/Struts work with JSP without modification???? If not, how do I need to modifiy it? Please let me know!
I imported the necessary libaries for the tag using <jsp:directive.page import="myFiles.*"/>
I added the tags uri (which happens to be a jar file in /web-inf/ to the <jsp:root version="1.2" xmlns:authn="/WEBINF/lib/myLibrary.jar"
The tag itself which I put between <jsp:root tags on Page1.jsp looks like this: <myTag:checkaccess userVarName="user"

What are Developers Allowed to Make?
Hi there, I have a friend who is a programmer for Windows, and is curious about programming for Mac (Unix)
There are some statements that need to be cleared up first:
I have been told that to sell a product for Mac, there are licensing issues, that each and every retail product must pass strict guidelines and compatibility tests.
Many people who program their programs don't pass the standards, and then release it for free.
Personally, I feel that this is just silly, that it wouldn't make sense to lock out so many programmers for your OS. Can somebody clear this up for me?While you can try to sell any Mac app you want without Apple's blessing or permission (except for the aforementioned logos or badging), developers face a far harsher judge: Mac users.
If your friend rushes some junk to market, or violates the Human Interface Guidelines too egregiously (I personally wish that Apple itself would be as strict as enforcing their own HIG), his customers will scream bloody murder and he could get some humiliating reviews.
My suggestion is that your friend take his time and have some experienced Mac users look it over before he release it to the public. There are not many cases where customers will easily forgive a bad first effort, not matter how good the next ones are. It's not impossible, but it is a tough row to hoe! -

802.1x MAB with Microsoft NPS ieee802Device object group
Hi,
according to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps6537/ps6586/ps6638/config_guide_c17-663759.pdf (MAC Authentication Bypass Deployment Guide as of May 2011), when you use Microsoft NPS, you cannot simply add MAC-Adresses as Active Directory user objects if your domain has strict password enforcement policies (because passwords are not allowed to match usernames under that circumstances). The guide mentions the use of the 'ieee802Device' class that is build into Windows Server 2003R2 and above. I have tried to get this working (with no success...), unfortunately I did not find any guidelines on the web how to accomplish this. What I did so far was:
- Created a new structural class"myieee802Device", based on the abstract class "ieee802Device"
- Created a new OU "ethers" in AD
- Created a simple objekt by means of an ldifde.exe import
dn: CN=001b21******,OU=ethers,DC=dot1x,DC=com
changetype: add
objectClass: myieee802Device
cn: 001b21******
macAddress: 00:1b:21:**:**:**
When I trigger 802.1x authentication at a supplicant, NPS does not find the device (MAC-Address) in AD.
Has anybody got this running so far?
StefanStefan,
Many thanks for your reply. in my test environment, what I have encountered is:
1. I created the user account and used the mac address as account and password, which can access into the AD.
2. I enabled the function of MD5-Challenge in Windows 2008 R2 NPS server. pls refer the link:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winserverNAP/thread/e801bdac-9347-4efb-9d7c-bcf4d64aa927
3. Created the network policy, which use the MD5 as the EAP type, and select PAP as the authentication method.
4. Enable the 802.1x and MAB function in the port of cisco 3750.
by test, 802.1x works fine, but when I try to let it authenticate with MAB, got the below error in NPS event log:
Network Policy Server denied access to a user.
Contact the Network Policy Server administrator for more information.

can u plz help me
thanQ
rajeshyup, it's malformed alright.
Check the specs, you're missing everything you need like xsd and dtd references, xml declarations, etc. etc.
Not that this would run on that old server (probably won't, it likely needs an older version), but this might give you an idea...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.4"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" >
</web-app>and yes, all that is REQUIRED by the standard (though some servlet containers might be less than strict about enforcing that). -
By Pass Admin Rights when installing Flash Player 9
We currently incoporate Flash Player 9 with our proprietary
application so our clients users may utilize it efficiently. The
issue is now we are in the process of rolling the application to
user's across the country and a good percentage of the do not have
Flash Player 9 installed on their machine. The user's are behind a
very strict, and enforced network with little to no priviledges. Is
there a setting or a way that I can inform their network security
team, to allow them this capability to install it on their own. I
do not want to lower their security policy or elavate their rights,
but definetly want the user to download and install Flash Player
ONLY. Please any assistance will be greatly appreciated.I am running OS X, and I just installed flash player 9. I am
not able to look at any flash sites anymore. I have been
installing, reinstalling, uninstalling and nothing seems to work. I
am not very computer saavy, but i can normally figure these thing
out. Adobe is no help at all. I feel as though I should reinstall
everything over again on my mac. Please let me know if it is
possible to fix this bug.
Have you had any response Bill? Is there a mac help forum for
this? -
Community Forum or Farce? MODERATOR PLEASE READ!
I've just scanned the headings for the most recent 300 or so threads in this sub-forum, and can find only ONE that has been "Locked" - my own recent "+iTunes a victim of the obesity epidemic+"?
Your Help documentation states that "+Only the original topic poster has the option to mark replies as either Helpful or Solved ... *the originator* can also end the discussion by marking the topic as "answered+"."
I did NOT mark the topic "answered" or a reply "Solved". After wasting a lot of time typing a reply to recent posts, only to have it rejected because someone chose to close the thread while I was typing, I eventually discovered that it had been marked "+assumed answered+" by "_a moderator_". (Help doesn't say anything about "+assumed answered+").
More time spent working out that I can change it back to "unanswered", only to find that that doesn't appear to make any difference - the thread remains locked.
Can you at least advise why the arbitrary decision? Why just my thread out of at least the most recent 300? Why a thread that minutes earlier had had a reply posted by someone else? Why not even the courtesy of advice or explanation when a current thread gets closed down by some anonymous person?Thank you, joshz. I guess Rachel has been too busy to answer for herself, and I will assume that her comments are her own, and that she is not speaking on behalf of Apple.
Rachel, thanks for your input. What follows is both a reply to your post, and an attempt to address some broader issues that it raises.
First some background. I have been involved with microcomputers in the PC world, not the Mac world, since the day IBM released the first PC, and long before even the first version of Windows. (For "involved" read "working in the industry".) Until iTunes, I have had very little to do with Apple. That allegiance does not necessarily reflect a product choice - it has been partly through circumstances and career requirements. I have worked for/with large players in the industry (including IBM), and my career has placed me in many roles including moderating user forums and heading technical support departments.
So while new to these Apple Discussions, I would like to think that I come here with a little knowledge about the industry and its relevant practices, policies and ethics.
Some of us arguably misguided "PC folk" have long held a sometimes-concealed envy for the Apple world. From the outside, Apple has appeared to stand out as a more liberal and freethinking company/environment than the more formal, old school, mainstream of the industry. It is with genuine regret that my experience on these forums in the last few days has gone a long way towards destroying that perception.
My impression so far about Apple Discussions includes the opinion that its ranks are broadly made up of four categories of individuals...
- A very large number of users seeking help, some of which are not afraid to express their frustration about problems encountered (as one would expect in any such forum);
- A smaller number of users with a wealth of knowledge, and the commendable altruistic trait of offering assistance to others;
- A smaller subset of the previous category who can be and usually are just as helpful, but that though not directly associated with Apple (as far as we can tell), also bring with them a strange zeal, passion or obsession to defend Apple at all costs and in any situation - not always, IMHO, fairly or impartially. Apple is always right, the customer wrong. They unfortunately (again IMHO) can become quite condescending towards other users who sometimes may deserve it, but often do not. (They can appear to be self-appointed enforcers, but I will refer to them here as the loyalists.)
- An even smaller number of invisible hosts or moderators, including some that are undoubtedly doing a great job, but others (hopefully a small minority) that give the appearance of also getting carried away with too strict an enforcement or interpretation (often arbitrary) of "the rules" or their intent.
Rachel, to you and that "someone" that you mentioned who also sought to "set me straight" in my locked thread, I would say that the very "Help and Terms of Use" that you are both fond of quoting can give rise to some interpretations other than your own. (I take comfort in the clause that states, "Views expressed on the Site are not endorsed by Apple".) Here are a few random snippets, which I admit include my opinions - but respect them if you wish me to respect yours.
- The very first sentence reads... "Apple Discussions is a user-to-user support forum where experts and other Apple product users get together to discuss Apple products." And the name of the facility is Apple Discussions. Sorry, but I object to you and ed2345 trying to suggest that you know what constitutes a valid discussion, but I don't.
- "A user-to-user support forum" - with due respect, that could imply to some a slightly greater degree of user rights than what appears to be the case, or what you appear to endorse.
- "Constructive feedback about product features is welcome". Sorry, I thought that that was what my locked post was about.
One of the problems, in my view, is that some of the users for whom this facility is allegedly provided choose to treat that last quote as reading "+Constructive feedback ... is welcome as long as it does not include any negative remarks, nor attempts in any way to convey dissatisfaction or the suggestion that Apple is anything less than perfect+".
"Constructive feedback" carries an implication that something can be improved or is lacking. It is difficult for some to validate this without illustrating what is wrong or needs improvement. That task is made even more difficult if there is a bunch of people around waiting to jump on a well-intended contributor because in their view the thin hazy line between describing a problem and complaining about it has been crossed. You believe that "+Complaints are not constructive+". As another poster so aptly put it in another thread in which you also participated, we are left feeling that we must constantly "+walk on eggshells+". (He also suggested that these forums are suppressing free speech.)
Here is how I am left feeling: There is a surprising degree of paranoia in these forums, and they are conducted in a fashion that implies that criticism cannot be tolerated and dissent must be suppressed. (As a foreigner, I'll refrain from any comparisons to world politics or suggestions of great irony.)
As surprised as I have been to find this within Apple of all places, I am even more surprised at the degree of patronising defensiveness that appears to motivate some of the "contributions" of a small group of loyalists.
Time to walk on eggshells, and emphasize that I am attempting to express impressions that are generated here, and in no way am I trying to be "defamatory". My previous reference to Seinfeld's Soup Nazi was meant to be as light-hearted as its source. But my mind is now entertaining some uncomfortable comparisons with the Hitler Youth movement, trained to believe and preach that the leader can do no wrong, and that suggestions to the contrary must be stamped out.
(Yes, Kryten, I may have again invoked Godwin's Law, which I believe might be your way of saying that you believe that I’ve lost the argument. But I think that the "Fanboys" and "Post Count" segments may equally apply to some of the people that I am talking about.)
This group of users seems to condone arbitrary constraints on what can be said, and how. But please, people, at least be consistent. And try to teach by example. By all means, preach the sacred Terms of Use when it is appropriate. But one gets the impression that you interpret the TOU to fit your argument at the time. Rachel, you frequently jump in when someone bemoans Apple's lack of involvement here by emphasizing how the TOU clearly state that these are USER forums. Valid point, but in other situations you are just as quick to point out how this facility belongs to Apple, which entitles them to run it as they see fit. You seem to want to have it both ways.
Then we are so often chastised by the loyalist group for breaking the rules about content. They quote time and again the provision that submissions should be about technical support issues or constructive feedback. But Rachel you give the impression that you can sometimes bend the rule, or that your interpretation of what it means is superior to that of others. I don't complain about your posts in "How to stop Apple spam emails" nor, in "I very disappointed with Apple", your contribution about whether some company is an authorized reseller. I don't believe such posts to be about constructive product feedback or about technical support, but neither do I believe that it is for me to point that out to you.
Speaking of interpretation, you have called my locked thread "+something of a poll, also prohibited in the Terms of Use, seeking to get others to agree with your complaint+". With respect, that is your opinion and not necessarily factual. My feedback, which you chose to label a complaint, included the wish to find out if users with more experience agreed with my suggestion, or if there was a valid counter-argument. That is a form of seeking replies - the very purpose of the forum. I even asked for "an argument to tell me why I'm wrong", though in retrospect, and knowing what I do now, the choice of the word "argument" was unfortunate as it could lend itself to the wrong interpretation by some. (I meant "argument as in discussion", but I wasn't walking on eggshells at the time.) Loyalist traits aside, I think that to interpret that post only as a complaint and a poll is very narrow and shortsighted. (And please, don't reply that you were merely speculating on how the moderator may have seen it. (S)he can speak for him/herself, and there is a strong implied agreement in your wording.)
I'd like to make two points about the "Terms of Use". Firstly, in the corporate world just about every "agreement" contains provisions to cover any number of situations so that the first party can optionally rely on them if considered necessary. (The operative word being optionally.) This practice, initiated by lawyers to protect their client in all circumstances, does not in itself mean that all provisions, in their widest possible interpretation, should be strictly implemented or adhered to in every possible situation.
Secondly, the loyalists are also very fond of telling the rest of us that Apple owns these "user forums" and can therefore do as it sees fit. On the surface that seems valid, but IMHO you are implying an arrogance on the part of the company that does not benefit its image. Here is a counter-opinion: I am sick of suggestions that Apple is "doing us a favour". That's like asking me to bend down and thank the government for providing roads. WE pay for those roads with our taxes, and we pay for the government. And it is *the customer* that pays for all of Apple's (and most other companies’) facilities. I am grateful for the forums (or at least I was when first joining), but it strikes me as patronising to suggest that we should bow and give thanks for "a favour".
As to the various no doubt well-intended suggestions that I should find other forums in which to post, it seems a little strange to suggest that I should look elsewhere for the best place to discuss or ask about Apple matters. I would like to think that my other posts have been valid and may even have included a small contribution to (what should be) the cause. I am guilty of asking more than I have answered, but didn't all of you start out that way? If the loyalists don't like the way I write, or want me to change my personality before I am accepted in the community, forgive me for feeling that that is your problem, not mine. Apple may have the contentious right to ask me to go elsewhere, but I am not subscribing to an apparent class system of users.
Only because I'm posting this here, I find it necessary to duck some additional loyalist comeback by stating that this, perhaps the longest post that I've ever written, IS entirely "Feedback about Discussions" (even if I happen to be long-winded). And I won't dwell on someone's arbitrary distinction between feedback and complaint. The original post in this thread concluded with what I believe to be valid questions about the actions of moderators. In spite of reassurances from others that moderators do read all posts in THIS forum, and that this is the place for such questions, I have so far received no answers - just loyalist opinions. That includes Kryten's suggestion that I am "+going on an uncontrolled attack on the people that are tasked to moderate Apple Discussions+". Uncontrolled? By the way, that "attack" was directed not at "the people" in general, but at the actions of a particular moderator. Moreover, any plural use was limited by the phrase "such moderators" - I.e. those that may behave similarly. Though again I plead guilty to two mistakes - I wasn't walking on eggshells, and I broke the golden rule that says that we should not in any way question the behaviour of the company or its representatives.
Since I seem to be a rule-breaker, I'm about to risk adding more fuel to the fire. I'll close by including below a cut and pasted piece that was originally meant to be a reply in my locked thread to a loyalist post that it elicited. Reason for including it here is not just that I was denied a right of reply. I think it also addresses some of the above issues, and is direct "Feedback about Discussions".

According to the site terms of use that we have all agreed to, "your Submission should either be a technical support question or a technical support answer." However, if you are interested, a web search would surely turn up sites out there where you could get a good argument going! Cheers M8.
ed2345, I'm sure that many must be grateful for the sheer volume of posts under your belt, and that it demonstrates true community spirit.
However, before posting such comments about my submission and acting as the rules enforcer, may I suggest that "+People that live in glass houses+..."?
Firstly, it would seem that you have distorted the Terms of Use by selectively quoting only a part of clause 2.3. The actual wording (my emphasis) is...
from Terms of Use:
+"*Unless otherwise noted*, your Submission should either be a technical support question or a technical support answer. *Constructive feedback about product features is welcome as well*+."
I'd like to think that my post might be seen, at least in the eyes of some, as "+constructive feedback about product features+".
As with anything, that may be a matter of opinion and you may disagree. However, I reserve the right to my opinion that many of YOUR posts in other threads appear to have nothing whatsoever to do with EITHER technical issues OR product feedback. Just a few...
- Q: Where do I purchase songs not available in iTunes? Your post: Buy from Amazon.com.
- Where to find the Billboard Top 100 from previous years.
- The correct apostrophe use in "90's music" and whether "Think Different" is grammatically correct.
So apart from your arguably misleading statement about the terms of use, it also seems to be a case of "+Do as I say, not as I do+".
I prefer "+Live and let live+".
Cheers. -
Anyconnect 3.1 and certificate authentication
I am doing a proof of concept with anyconnect and certificate authentication. with 3.0 i was able to do this with a certificate from my CA and a client cert in a smartcard. I have upgraded to 3.1 and now it doesnt work anymore ( i need 3.1 and Asa 9.0 because of IPv6 Split-tunneling).
Reading the forum i got some info that the ASA cert must have a EKU value of 'Server Authentication' and the client cert must have a similar EKU (client Auth)
Is this mandatory or is there a way around this?Just to add to this.
Anyconnect 3.1 started KU enforcement, but typically it will drop a warning you can accept (annoying but not blocking).
EKU, is something that for the time being ASA will not enforce, plus it's only needed to IKEv2/IPsec, AFAIR SSL will work without it unless there have been big changes I'm not aware of.
One can also argue EKU enforcement will not be strictly speaking enforced in future of IKEv2.

I am in California. I intend to buy refurbished iPad Retina display, WiFi 16 GB, form online Apple Store in US.
Will its 1 year warranty be applicable/ honoured in India?Here is a link to the US warranty for iPad:

Please note this excerpt:
IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
And here is the equivalent warranty for India (which includes the same limitation):

Hi guys,
recently ive installed a new ERP 6.0 landscape with Sybase ASE and in both instances i was able to manage the database using the scjview executable, usually located under X:\sybase\SID\Shared\Sybase Central 6.0.0\win64 path.
Now if i try to install the latest Sybase version the executable seems missing, even if the path still exist.
Probably is a SAP choice, i dont understand the meaning (and worse i dont find any note/documentation regarding this change) but im just wondering which is the grapich tool i have to use to manage the database.
I tried to download Sybase Control Center (3.2.5) but im stucked after a few steps (not able to connect the database using sa/sapsa user).
Am i using the correct tool? Is there any other way? Administration is command line only?
Help me.
Thanks.
Regards.Hi Deepak,
I've tried also sapsa but with no success.
Do you know some configuration that have to be made in SCC or in ASE server for the connection ?
Can ASE Server installed by sapinst be connected to SCC ?
I've attached our ASE Config file.
Regards.

Isa 2006 standard, going crazy with "Enforce Strict RPC compliance"
Hello,
I am trying to join a W2k8 R2 machine to a domain. If it is in the same network as the domain controller, no problem whatosever. If instead, there is a ISA Server (2006, Standar), issues arise.
Even if I create a rule allowing all the traffic back and forth from the perimeter to the lan, the message still appears.
This is the message:
"Changing primary domain dns name "" failed. The name will remain "newdomain.org" . The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.
The domain controller and the client are both W2k8 R2 64 bits.
Very important:
I can attach a 2008 Windows server as long as it is 32bits, but not a R2 (x64).
Thanks in advance!
Luis Olías Técnico/Admon Sistemas . Sevilla (España - Spain)Thanks a lot Joyce.
It has been a while since I wrote this post and I solved the issue by following some directions from this blog:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/instan/ar...ot-failed.aspx
which says:
This is a bogus error message [...] it's caused by the domain join code ending up in a function which it doesn't need to run anyway during a domain join operation using the GUI.
What's failing is the attempt to change the Primary DNS suffix of the machine after the domain join has succeeded - but the Primary DNS suffix is already correct at that point which is why this can be ignored.
The domain join itself is not affected at all and will have succeeded if you're seeing this specific error message with the empty quotation marks as that code is only run after a successful domain join.
As frustrating as it is, this is unfortunately one of those cosmetic issues which aren't likely to be fixed until the next OS version - primarily because it has zero impact and no effect beyond the ugly error message.
A workaround that removes the error message is to populate the Primary DNS suffix of the machine before attempting the domain join.

Perl won't load GD::Graph::pie in Apache, but does with terminal.
It took me forever to get GD to work at all. Now I'm totally stuck. I hope someone can help me. If I run my cgi file from terminal using "perl /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/GraphTest.cgi" it prints the "jpeg". If I run it from apache using "http://localhost/cgi-bin/GraphTest.cgi", I get an error saying "Can't locate GD/Graph/pie.pm" along with the typical PATH settings and such. Why can perl run the script without issue, but using web sharing/apache perl can't find the perl module? I assume this is an apache issue?
More details:
*I finally got GD installed using port
*Every time I attempted to install GD and it failed, I erased the HDD and reinstalled OSX. So, this is a very fresh install.
*This is Snow Leopard, not Snow Leopard Server
*If I add the following two lines and run, "sudo perl /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/GraphTest.cgi" it will create the graph in my profile directory:

If that script doesn't work on your computer, I'd be interested in seeing the output of this script (run by Apache, of course):
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);
print header();
print qq(Perl version (Apache): ) . $] . qq(
my $info = qx(perl -V);
print qq(<pre>$info</pre>
foreach my $key (sort keys %ENV) {
print qq($key = $ENV{$key}
I'd also be curious to see the results of "perl -V" vs. "/usr/bin/perl -V" run from the command line. Perhaps you are somehow using two different Perls...

I see some problems with your script, though they wouldn't be a problem with GD::Graph::pie. I'm not sure yet what that problem is.

$500 equipment termination fee after paying $350 early termination fee?
Hello,
For some reason, my previous posting now says it is an unauthorized one and it cannot be accessed. I'm posting about a case of my girlfriend who upgraded to iPhone 5S 32G ($299.99+26.62) on December 23, 2013 with the 2-yr contract and had to cancel on January 7, 2014 since she had to leave the country. It would have been nicer if the cancellation was within 14 days, then she could simply cancel the contract and return the device without the early termination fee $350. Unfortunately, it was not the case, and she had to pay the early termination fee $350, the upgrade fee $35, and the amount for the last month usage. Everything was paid off as the terms and clauses said, and until that time, everything was fine: paid the gross amount of $299.99+26.62+350+35+more unfortunately, but kept the phone at least.
The bad story came today via an email from Rosee (removed) ([email protected]), a person from Collections Department of stayconnectedwireless.com, saying that my girlfriend will be charged the sum amount of $500 due to terminating your Verizon wireless account without returning the equipment to the store. What??? She looked at T&C very carefully before the unfortunate early termination and paid all the huge amount of fees Verizon described in its T&C for termination. The early termination fee is usually considered to account for the discount you get with the 2-yr contract. At the time of early termination, Verizon either wants the device back or the early termination fee paid, not both. Since my girlfriend already paid off all the fees, the email sounded totally weird. What will be your reaction if you paid $299.99+26.62+350+35+more which is about the full retail price and the store says you have to return the device or pay $500 more?
I had to search over the web to figure out what happened.

I understand how much anger this person Glenn P. had for these "Stay Connected Verizon Wireless" stores that are seemingly genuine Verizon Wireless stores but just premium retailers unless you look at the signboard very very very carefully. In fact, I could realize the fact today since they pretended to be genuine from many aspects. Now after reading the posting and thinking, what happened becomes very clear to me. They are not genuine Verizon Wireless but pretend to be the one, and they put a disgusting term on their receipts: if any 2-yr upgrade or new activation is cancelled within 7 months of contract, there is a $500 equipment termination fee unless the device is returned to the store in perfect condition. What this term essentially forces is, if you terminate between 14 days and 7 months, you pay all the phone price and the early termination fee properly, but you also need to return the device to this disgusting "Stay Connected Verizon Wireless" retail store or pay $500 to the "Stay Connected Verizon Wireless" retail store.
I would like to suggest a few things.
0. Look at the store names and the receipts very carefully. There are stores that are seemingly Verizon Wireless but just retailers. And the receipt may say something absurd. I believe this term is a sort of duplicate penalty (thus not legitimate) that rips off more than the retail price of the phone.
1. Do upgrade or activation from the genuine VERIZON WIRELESS. If you upgrade or activate a phone from these "STAY CONNECTED VERIZON WIRELESS" retailers and if you happen to cancel the contract between 14 days and 7 months, you have to lose your phone or pay additional $500 even if you paid off the already-huge $299.99+26.62+350+35 which is about the full retail price.
2. Verizon Wireless, I believe the company, as an influential company in the US, should carefully control the dealer quality and impose reasonable T&C for the dealer. The genuine Verizon Wireless is reasonable in that sense: either take the device back or charge the early termination fee. However, this unethical retailer does not. They first pretend to be the genuine store in many ways, put an unreasonable (perhaps not legitimate) term with small letters on their receipts without explaining the huge difference, and try to take your PAID phone away if the contract is terminated between 14 days and 7 months. I believe a reasonable T&C has to be enforced by Verizon Wireless for this retailer, or they have to be punished if they resist.
I may have to be ripped off $500 for not paying too much attention on the store name and on the receipt term which nobody will read by trust on Verizon Wireless, but no other people should suffer from the same pain.
How do you think? Thanks for any input from people or Verizon Wireless representatives.

Message was edited by: Admin ModeratorHello,
Thanks for answering. My posting had been blocked for some time, so I thought Verizon simply did not like the posting. Now I discovered this posting was re-opened.
To clarify, I have been using Verizon for 7 years, and I'm well aware of all the Verizon charges, fees, and T&C in the process of properly upgrading phones multiple times. The point is that, the retail store "STAY CONNECTED VERIZON WIRELESS" in NY has deceptive signboard and interior that are sufficient to enforce or confuse customers to believe the store is a genuine Verizon Wireless. And, they inserted unreasonable and unacceptable term on the receipt about the termination (very problematic between 14 days and 7 months). However, they did not notify at all about those (3rd party and termination). If I knew the store was 3rd party, I would have read T&C very closely. Actually, you can see that all the angry yelp reviews by Glenn P. also point out the deceptive signboard part. The person also thought the store was genuine Verizon Wireless until the collection department contacted for the astonishing $500. Later, basically they softly threaten to report for a negative record if you do not return the PAID phone or pay the extra $500.
Apart from the deceptive signboard and interior, I want to simplify the example for the unreasonable T&C as follows. As a customer, I paid for the discounted phone price $299.99+tax, the upgrade fee $35, and the early termination fee $350. At that point, the genuine Verizon Wireless does not take the phone away and all the business is done since the early termination fee compensates the discount. When the weird retail store kicks in, they suddenly require the phone back or $500 equipment termination fee paid because the termination was between 14 days and 7 months from the contract. I don't think they truly have a legal right or basis to do that since it is a duplicate penalty which is also very excessive, but I just respected the one ugly sentence on the receipt about the unreasonable $500 equipment termination fee. Anyway, the full retail price is $749, and the total payment with this retail store became easily more than $1,200 or I have to return the PAID phone (~$700) to them. What an easy business from their sides! I believe Verizon Wireless, once you know about this unethical retail store, you should take a proper action. I would understand a bit more about special T&C if they provided special discounts as Best Buy or Walmart, but the discounted price was exactly same with Verizon Wireless. Is there any justification about the $500 equipment termination fee? Possibly you can have $100 or so to minimize the damage as a 3rd-party store, but not $500.
When I contacted the collection department of stayconnectionwireless.com, the person tried to justify $500, but I just told one thing: I know the genuine Verizon Wireless does not charge the weird equipment termination fee once the early termination fee $350 is paid. The person became silent after my comments because I knew Verizon's T&C very well. However, I had to pay $500 to avoid all the potential legal issues. Normally the good way to deal with this should be to pay first and take wrong things back.
My first expectation was that, Verizon Wireless would take a reasonable response on my posting. However, two postings on this Verizon forum were immediately blocked, so I had to file a complaint on FCC (Federal Communications Commision) about "Stay Connected Verizon Wireless". I don't know how much legal obligation they can impose, though.
Now, since you re-opened my posting and replied, if your company situation allows, I hope Verizon Wireless can investigate this retail store's T&C and advise not to do that. They might be the only store that excessively charges such fees as authorized 3rd-party dealers. If they resist and if I'm one of the board member in Verizon Wireless, I would control the quality of authorized 3rd-party retail stores and take proper actions to retain Verizon's credibility. I don't know whether Verizon Wireless will do that.
Please contact me if more information is needed. Thanks.
