why is there no line of communication open to apple my i5s has gone haywire and it starting got cost me money work wise !!!!!!!

What makes you think there is "no line of communication open to Apple"? THIS is a user to user forum, but if you'd like to communicate with Apple, you can do so by going to any Apple store, calling Apple support, or submitting feedback via the Apple website. How many other lines of communication would you like?
If you have a technical support question, post it here, clearly and in detail, and the many fine folks here will do their best to help.
If your phone is defective, bring it to an Apple store and they will try to help.
Posting tantrums and random venting will not solve your problems.

Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as to store information from two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

Yes you can but you need to partition the drive into at least 2 separate drives.
To do that you need to use a Windows PC to do the first partitioning. Say you split the drive into two partitions each 1TB (or close to 1TB) each.
Partition fand format both partitions on a Win PC as one NTFS and the other FAT32.
Then move it to the Mac and Reformat the FAT32 partition Mac Extended (Journaled) with a GUID Partition Table.
I have that same drive and that is what I did originally with it. I now have it just for the Mac as I have other externals for the Win systems.
Good Luck.

I want to know if the Macbook Pro with the ash key board and as the cd rom infront is more recent than the one with the black key board and as the cd rom on the side.

Hi Tracy,
I'm guessing "ash" is the silver colored keyboard, the same color as the rest of the MBP? If so, that machine, with the optical drive slot on the front, is the older machine.

Do you still have the iphone? I know this has been an issue with phones that were lost or stolen, but if you still have your iphone try going into settings on that iphone and turn off imessage. See if that helps,certainly cannot do any harm.

Do you think its time to change my router WRT54G v.4 ?

Im using wireless connection most of time as I have two computers, mac and pc. I have been using this method, resetting the router in order to use the internet. Im really tired of doing it every time i switched it on. Any suggestions? I tried most of the through the guide me by still it doesnt work.

Since you router is quit an old router,have you tried to upgrade the firmware of your Router?
Go to website linksysbycisco.com/downloads.........insert model no of your router in search tab......select proper version of your router........download the firmware file......save that file on desktop..
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Time Capsule for a back-up device and a WiFi device

I would like to start backing up by way of a Time Machine (I assume this is the same as a Time Capsule). Is it possible to use a Time Capsule to back-up and to set up a Wireless network in my home? If so, is it possible to allow several people to use the Time Machine to get on the internet (like the Airport Extreme)?
My other option was to get a LaCie external hard drive as my back-up device. (do I need to worry about the LaCie being pre formatted HFS+ or is this pretty standard?) Being the novice that I am, I would like the easiest but highly secure set-up that is in this range. I think LaCie makes good external drives that work good with the Apple products which is why I would consider using this device for my back-ups and my old Airport Extreme for a wireless network in my home.
I have a 500 hard drive in my MBP and am looking at the LaCie Rugged Hard Disk
FireWire 400 & 800 | Hi-Speed USB 2.0 | 500 GB
thanks for any help.

So the Time Capsule and Time Machine do go together, correct?
you could say time capsule was designed to work hand-in-hand with time machine.
The icon I have on the dock called Time Machine is the software I would use to get the Time Capsule up and running, correct?
no. you get time machine up and running using the time machine system preference pane. the icon in your dock is for when you want to enter time machine in order to restore files from your backups.
you configure the TC's router side with *airport utility*
Oh, I remember Jolly Giant--you and a couple of your buds were really trying to drive me into the ground with your men and untrue statements sometime back.
huh ?
if you're referring to my involvement in this thread -> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2418460&start=0&tstart=0, i can see only supportive comments and suggestions from my fellow users and me.
So, if I were to get a Time Capsule, I would not need my 3-year-old Airport Extreme.
you don't need but you still can use it (unless it's dead).
Since formatting a drive is easy, is this knowledge a person needs beforehand or will the program walk one step by step?
you would use *disk utility* to format the drive. however, all my LaCie drives came formatted for Mac.
I was thinking another option that I could try to get my 3-year-old Airport Extreme up and running and get the LaCie as back-up hard drive.
again, time machine will not back up to drives connected to an airport extreme, however, ChronoSync will.
I would like the LaCie with the orange extra pad of protection
i have one of those myself (the one with firewire 400/800 and USB interfaces and 320 GB capacity) and use it for CCC clones. they are very handy and reliable.
I think CC clones are a bit over my head. I would like to get something that I just plug in it determines what needs to updated, does it thing and I disconnect it and of I go until I am at home next time.
CCC is very simple to use but it sounds like time machine (in connection with a time capsule or a directly attached LaCie drive) is the right thing for you - it's basically fire and forget. however, for time machine to work, your computer must be running.

Need to change my Country. Appalled with Adobe Customer Service

I am absolutely shocked at how far Adobe's customer service has fallen. In the past i could simply call up their toll free line and get an answer to my question or have my isse resolved. It seems those days are LONG gone.
On Black Friday I wanted to buy lightroom which was on sale. I live in Canada. I always have. For some unknown reason my country was set to the US. When i tried to buy Lightroom none of my payment methods (paypal, creditcard) could go through because my payment methods indicate I live in Canada.
I immediately tried to contact Adobe. First i must comment on their terrible phone system. I have to wade through menu after menu, none actually representing my need to change my Adobe information. Finanlly i got to an option where i could talk to a live person - but wait - there are callers ahead of me and i'll have to wait an estimated 2 hours (is that a joke?). Lucky for me they have a call back option. But the call back option DOES NOT WORK! After i enter my number the automated message says my number can not be regonized. I tried it every way possible, multiple times and it never went through.
Eventually I gave up. I chalked it up to Adobe being busy because of Black Friday and just created a new account to buy Lightroom. That went through no problem (it seems Adobe is good at TAKING my money). I figured i'd try back next week and have my Country changed and consolidate both my accounts into one.
MORE THAN A MONTH HAS PASSED. I have tried several times over the weeks. THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO REACH CUSTOMER SERVICE IN A TIMELY MANNER!! The phone situation is the same as above. Often the 'Chat with a live rep' option is not even available. When it is I CONSTANTLY get this message in the chat window :
We are still assisting other customers, thank you for your patience. You can also try ourcommunity forums, where experts are online 24/7.
Even as i type this message i have been on hold on the phone for 30 mins, and still no response in my chat window. This is ridiculous.
WHY IS THERE NO OPTION TO EMAIL CUSTOMER SERVICE???!?!?!?
At this point I'd be happy with returning my Lightroom purchase and changing my country to Canada on my original Adobe ID. I have lost all faith in Adobe.

Hi,
I am trying to get Adobe to rerelease the software and registration number for my CS4 suite but my email & ID has changed from [email protected] to [email protected] for some reason the ID link now says I am in the US not Australia. I get the same message:
To change your country, contact Customer Service.
But that has not been possible online.
Do you have an email contact for them please?
I only want the dreamweaver and adobe pdf creator & editing software but the links on US site don't work either.
I already paid for the whole suite a few years back so don't want to pay again after I had to replace a HDD in a windows 7 machine.
So do I send a letter via Australia Post to:
Adobe Systems Pty. Ltd.
Tower 2, Level 27
201 Sussex Street
Sydney, NSW 2000
Australia
Tel: +61 2 9778 4100
or how about technology that was 300+ years old and FAX'em
Fax: +61 2 9778 4190
Surely email is not too much to ask???

Cannot be more dissatisfied with Verizon customer service!

I used to say Verizon is great because it has a great customer service. Now, I am having a second thought. I have just bought a new phone with a new contract and since then I have been having all kinda technical issues with the phone reception and its 4G network. I reported the problem to the Verizon immediately, and in response, instead of simply replacing the phone, they have put me through some time consuming technical checks for three times! and at the end, they just simply left me alone with the problem. Also, every time they acted like they had no idea what the previous person had said/done and made me start the whole process from the scratch! Can you believe it?!
I know I was naive to take their words but I trusted them and now here I am, stuck with a phone and out of the 14 day guarantee replacement window. The last technical support I spoke with literally tricked me, manipulated me and at the end lied to me. After a comprehensive technical check including even a change of SIM card, she fully acknowledged the problem and said she would replace my phone with a new phone (a different device) and do the price match. She asked me to wait for her to double check with her colleague. She never got back to me. I contacted her many times, and sent her many messages but she did not have even the courtesy to call me back. She dragged this issue for so long that now I am out of 14-day guarantee replacement window and stuck with the manufacture warranty replacement!
I am starting to believe that this is a technique they use to make the replacement process very inconvenient and tiring for customers, so eventually they’d give up, and guess what, many people actually do! Furthermore, when they make you wait too long (more than 14 days), you will no longer be eligible for the 14-day guarantee replacement. They get their way and you are stuck with the phone and manufacture. I cannot believe some customer agent use such “dirty” techniques to “manage” the situation (read: get rid of the customer by any means).
The thing I am more angry about than the phone itself is the fact that they insulted my intelligence by lying about the replacement, wasting my time, and the fact that they asked me to trust them but did not return my trust. Speechless!

These are the Verizon Residential forums used for peer-to-peer support for FiOS, DSL and phone line users.
It looks like your issue is with Verizon Wireless. You should check out their forums and support on their web page:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/
Good Luck.

Your phone has a 1 year manufacturer's warranty as long as the device has no physical or water damage. There is no limit on how many times the phone can be replaced under warranty. Verizon Tech Support would trouble shoot the phone and would be replaced for free if they cannot resolve the issue.

Changing battery symbol to percent and playing with Jambox

Hi,
Two questions:
1. Can I change the battery icon on top of my iPod touch 4g from battery symbol to one with percent like I have on my iPad 2?
2. Does playing music with Jambox will drain my iPod battery more quickly the iPod earphones?
Thanks,
Amnon

1. No.
2. Check with Jawbone on this one. They should be able to provide you with a clear answer.

Can I use time capsule as a back-up device and not use the wireless?

Hello. I have recently had many issues with a new Time Capsule.
My question is : Can I use my TC as a back-up device and not wireless while I am using my Lynksys router as my WiFi device? Thx.

Can I use my TC as a back-up device and not wireless while I am using my Lynksys router as my WiFi device?
Yes, turn off the wireless on the TC if you want to do this.
Open AirPort Utility, click on the TC, and click Edit
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the page
Change Wireless Mode to Off
Update to save the new settings

I have a disclaimer that says my Adobe Flash Player is out of date and needs to be updated. I have been trying to figure this out for 2 days, which is a waste of time, and I chatted with Adobes Customer Service department who said they can't help me

because it is a free application. They referred me to the Forum (which I have tried many times) but to me that is like a dog trying to chase the tail. I am very upset because I cannot get You Tube nor can I listen to music. This may seem trite but it is not trite to me. I pay monthly for the use of CC Photoshop and Lightroom. I will not give them anymore money for other software as they do not offer excellent customer service. I am a consumer and should be treated with business sense. Adobe keeps making a ton of money and gets away with it. They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced in my life. Shame on Adobe. I will not use the Forum for assistance. They should be paying us for learning an IT job. Obviously, Adobe is self centered because they don't consider that maybe we all have a life and cannot worship Adobe.@

I had been getting those notices for months, I finally broke down and hit the button to automatically upgrade. I was flooded with offers of new services from $10. to $49. per month - and my audio/video for Facebook, NYT and NPR are "blocked" with the advice to "upgrade " my Adobe Flash Player - for which there does not seem to be any customer support. My advice is to skip the "upgrading" if your computer works;I do not know what to do now . . .

Network printers take long time to show in control panel - devices and printers

G'day,
an annoying effect both on Win 8.1 and Win Server 2012 R2: after installing/connecting a network printer for a user, it takes about 10 minutes (sic!) till printer is shown in devices and printers...
Printer is shown and can be used immediately after connect in word/notepad, but properties of printers can only be managed via devices and printers. Work around for setting standard printer: open notepad, click
print and right-click printer.
But we have to choose a special printer profile, which cannot be done else than devices and printers.
Sometimes even previously installed printers do not show for minutes after logon...
Restarting spooler: no effect
Changing drivers: no effect
Printers are Konica C554 series and 4700P series with Konica PCL drivers.
Print server for network printers in Win Server 2012 R2 (VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2)
No other network issues.
Thanks and regards.
McButtonn

Open the printer folder the spooler team built. It's hidden but available and will list just the printers not the devices.
If the print shows up immediately, the spooler has the information. You will be running the shell command to invoke the old UI.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/8d69181f-3b9f-43c0-ba6d-ba99fe5fc413/printer-visible-in-print-dialog-but-not-visible-in-devices-and-printers-revisited?forum=w7itprohardware
Enumerating into the Devices and printers UI is then the issue.
thanks

Method called more than once - and dies with EXC_BAD_ACCESS error

Hi,
In my app, I have 4 views with their respective viewControllers. In the appDelegate.m, I provide methods that allows to switch to any of these views. Following is code for switching to the editView:
-(void) flipToEditView {
[self populateTheList]; // populate an array
EditViewController *anEditVC = [[EditViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"EditView" bundle:nil];
[self setEditVC:anEditVC];
[viewController.view removeFromSuperview];
[self.window addSubview:[editVC view]];
[anEditVC release]; }
The view is not switched - and moreover, this method is called more than once; and the app dies with EXCBADACCESS!

Think it time to change to more reliable device and one with better customer services..
