Verizon is Great as long as you don't need anything.

As long as you don't need anything and just pay whatever they charge you (reguardless of validity of bill) then their fine. Im sure you know how the rest of the story goes. Just one thing, if I were the CEO of Verizon and greedy for profits, I would run this company exactly the ways its being run now.

Steve, is there anything in particular that we fellow Verizon users can help you with? Any technical issues, wiring problems, equipment issues, etc?
Otherwise, I don't think we can help relieve your evident pain and whatever it is that you are complaining about. Please let us know if something comes up.
Best regards, and good luck. Sounds like you need it.

"How do I defrag my mac?" "You don't need to, it does it itself" Fragmented Free Space: 99%. READ THIS NOW

Just a heads up for my fellow Mac users.
"How do I defrag my mac?"
"You don't need to, ever. It does it automatically."
"But it's running really slowly..."
"Repair permissions or something. Defragging is not necessary on a mac."
Techtool pro is now defragmenting my mac. Looks like the job's going to take about 4 hours. I thought I'd give everyone the truth about this while waiting (on a different computer obviously)
The truth is, Apple's defragmenting system ***** BALLS. It has two massive, massive flaws which I feel people urgently need to be made aware of.
#1: It only defragments files up to 20mb. If you're a movie producer, a songwriter, a photographer, or anything which involves working with many massive files, the built in defragmenting program WILL NOT HELP YOU IN THE SLIGHTEST.
#2: It only defragments FILES. Free space is ignored, which eventually causes absolutely hrrendous problems.
Let me give you an analogy here. Imagine your mac's hard drive is a bookcase with lots of books on it.
File fragmentation is when it can't find a gap in the bookcase big enough for the entire book, so it breaks the book into pieces and srotes them in different gaps.
Space fragmentation is when there are gaps all over the bookcase, instead of all the books being pushed to one side so there's a long gap elsewhere.
Apple's built in defragmenting program will only fix the first problem - and even then, it will ignore any book bigger than 20 pages long, if you have bigger books which are broken up, you're screwed.
Why is space fragmentation a problem? It's a problem because it directly LEADS TO file fragmentation. If there is a large block of free space all in one part of the disk, then an entire file can be written to it. However, if there is no single free block big enough for the file, it HAS NO CHOICE but to fragment it.
So basically you might have 5 GB free and want to save a 2GB imovie project. That's cool. But what you may not realize is, the biggest single area of free space is only say 600MB. Others are around 300 and 400. Therefore the file MUST be fragmented into all these different areas, which wouldn't be necessary if all the free space was in one area of the disk.
But apple's built in tools don't do anything about this, at least not in Tiger. PErhaps this has been fixed in later installations but I'm almost certain the same issues exist in leopard.
Your only option is to buy a defragmenting program. I know this ***** but believe me, this IS something you NEED to do if your activity on your laptop involves disk space - intensive projects. I'm using TechTool Pro which has been recommended to me as hands down the best. It has a number of other functions as well, right now I'm only using the defragmenting tools but it has others for repairing damages disk sectors and other mantainence tools. There are other programs such as iDefrag out there as well.
Why am I telling you this? I'm telling you because I experienced mind numbing frustration trying to get answers from the Apple community. Google it or ask the question yourself and you will most likely be whacked in the face with the intro to my post here - "You don't need to, it's not necessary, macs do it themselves, blah blah blah"
Even worse, Apple's own webpage on the subject is nothing short of a disaster. It basically says "You PROBABLY don't need to defragment, unless you work with large files." That's it. You'd expect it to have an extra section saying "If you DO happen to work with large files, here's what you do" but no such section exists. It basically says "You don't need to defrag most of the time, and on the rare occasions when you do, well, too bad, you're screwed."
I urge everyone to heed this or they will be tearing their hair out at how slow their mac has become and the fact that no one will offer any meaningful advice other than the standard, generic, "Repair permissions" - the Mac equivelant of "have you tried turning it off and on again".
My disk is at 99% fragmented free space. NINTEY NINE PERCENT. In other words, although I have 25GB of free space, there was not a single contiguous block on the entire machine. I had almost 5,000 fragmented files as well, mostly imovies. Defragmenting got this down to about 300.
The defrag job is taking more than 4 hours and will probably go on to take a lot longer than that. This machine has been slowly grinding to a halt over the last 3 years and now I know why.
Please don't listen to anyone. Get yourself a defragmenting folder, and email Apple to tell them it's just not good enough to give their customers half assed answers and inadequate basic maintainence tools. Mac OS X must literally be the only operating system out there where something as basic as defragmenting is not only almost impossible to get answers on, but actually costs money to fix once you DO get answers.
As customers, we should not accept this any longer. I intend to spread the above message far and wide.
I LOVE Apple. I've always been "a mac" and I always will be. This in no way a mac bashing post or a windows endorsing one. I wouldn't switch back to windows if you gave me a million euro.
But sometimes even the best developers can royally f*ck up. This is one of them.
There is no readon people should be forced to put up with this crap. Absolutely no reason at all. I've had 3 months of crappy performance with no official explanation whatsoever.
Apple if you're reading this: I love your products. I'm a loyal customer. People are more forgiving than you think, speak up, admit you dropped the ball, and DO something about it in your next updates to Lion and whichever versions of Leopard you are still actively maintaining.
There's no shame in admitting when you're wrong. The shame is in hiding behind false promises and walls of silence.
--Loyal customer, but feeling rather betrayed by all this.

The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

I pay you but you don't need to pay me?

I provided my iphone 4 to Verizon Wireless in September of 2014.... I have repeatedly called them to request my $200. I typically get "the card is in the mail".
Meanwhile, they expect me to pay their bill. So let me get this straight. I pay you, but you don't need to pay me? Oh I see. It's a different part of Verizon. Not your fault...
I delayed my last bill and got hit with all kinds of extra charges as they shut down our services. I am so frustrated with their support that I am planning to switch to another carrier as soon as I get a chance, unless they re-examine my bill, pay the trade-in, and eliminate these extra charges.

I can't download the app '12 days of christmas'. The app details say that you don't need to use a device and that you can "download the gifts from your computer". How do I do this?

I don't have the latest ipod touch and therefore can't download the app '12 days of christmas'. The app details say that you don't need to use a device and that you can "download the gifts from your computer". How do I do this, as I know its not possible to diretly use an app on a computer?
Thanks

Go to the Purchases Tab in the App Store and Accept the apps.
Then you'll be able to update them.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I'd like to make sur the update from iOS 5 to iOS 7 is done OTA and that you don't need to plug in to iTunes to upgrade when your device is in iOS 5. thx

Can you tell me if the upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 7 is made OTA and that you don't need to plug in to iTunes using your PC. thx

If running iOS 5 or later, update can be OTA or via iTunes.
Be sure to have a good backup. OTA requires at least 3 GB
free on your iPhone, less if done via iTunes. Make sure your
iPhone is fully charged and you have a good wifi connection
before attempting OTA update.

IMovie HD 08 everything you don't need, and nothing you do.

Why are there Video FX for things like glass texture, and peephole, but nothing for things like ZOOM-in or Pan, or Stretch (to fix weird letterbox imports)?

iMovie HD 08 everything you don't need, and nothing you do.
That's Funny!!
iMovie 08 was primarily designed for SIMPLE editing.
iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
Much has been written about the differences between iMovie 06 and iMovie 08. I have found the below link to be helpful.

iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 is a terrific combination.

Optical digital audio out so good you don't need external audio card?

IS the optical digital audio out of the MBP so good you don't need an external audio card?
I was looking into buying the MAUDIO mobilepre to connect my soon to be received MBP to the speakers, but the Apple rep told me the new optical digital connection is good enough that i can bypass an interface card. Is this true?
For reference I am planning to buy the EDIROL DM20 as monitors to edit audio in FCP 5.
Thnak you for your feedback

I'm an audiophile as well. I wouldn't use the MBP headphone out to drive a serious audio system, so I don't disagree with your use of a good external DAC. But the poster wants to drive speakers that take digital input. So the question is about the digital output, not the DACs. Given the equipment he proposes to attach, I doubt there's any justification for using an external device to generate the digital out.

Apps you don't need

Hi, I have several basic questions about apps on a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.7.4.
First, do the apps in the app folder delay my MacBook Pros' startup time?
Second, do they slow my browser attempting to update at seemingly random times without my expressed consent?
Third, since I loaded many free apps onto my drive when I first started with this laptop. I guess I thought they were "too good to pass up" at the time. I am concerned that they are merely taking up space.
Here is my list of seldom or rarely used apps: Alfred; Automator; Diskspeed test, Chipmunk; Cocktail; Cyberduck; Evernote; FreeMemory; Hexedit; iClapperPro; iCleanMemory; iStumbler; KISmac; Microsoft Silverlight; Mover Connect; Netspot; Network Strength; Speakline; Spotify; Switch; The Unarchiver; Transmission; TuneAid; VLC; Vuse; WifiAnalyzser; Virtual DJ Home.
My final question is: are any of these app worthless, dangerous, or detrimental to my startup time or online speed?
Advance thanks for any advice and information.

I know many, but not all of the apps. The question about performance goes to whether any of these automatically load at startup and then run in the background. That would have an effect on RAM and could slow you down. Mostly they're just taking up space on your hard drive, so I wouldn't hang on to things I really don't use.
Of the list there are several I use and like: Automator; Cyberduck; Evernote; iClapperPro; iStumbler; Netspot; Spotify; Switch; The Unarchiver; VLC; Vuse; WifiAnalyzser.
You have a lot of network analyzers so I'm assuming that's something you find useful - looks like a number of them duplicate each other. Open Activity Monitor in the utilities folder right after a startup and see which of these loads something in right off. As for Silverlight - there are some other things that depend on it being there - if you eliminate it and are never asked to have it available you'll certainly know you don't need it.

My 5 year old MacBook Air is telling me it "cannot save information about your mailboxes because there isn't enough space in your home folder. Quit mail, delete files you don't need, then reopen mail." What is "home folder," and which files to delete?

The home folder is where all of your personal files are kept.
Best candidates to delete are movies, videos, music and photos since they generally take the most space.
Don't forget to empry the Trash after you delete the file because the space is not returned until the Trash is emptied.

Please great apple we love you don't make us upset ?

Hello great apple.before i start to speak. I know you will not fix my problem. But i wish. Please i bought ipad mini 2 and screen colors very bad. Low contrast. If you can fix it by updating firmware. I will be very happy. My old ipad 3 colors was amazing better than new ipad mini 2

Just so you know, you are not communicating with Apple on this forum. This is a support forum that users to come to for help and those that participated here are other iPad users just like yourself. We are not Apple employees.
If there is a problem with your iPad screen, make an appointment at an Apple Store and have an Apple Genius take a look at it. If you don't like the look of iOS 7, unfortunately, it is what it is and you can't do very much to change the look.

Apple going MS style - don't install Lion if you don't need to

Hi,
I am obviously frustrated. I want to warn anyone with an Apple MacBook, MacBook Air or iMac that is not very recent. If you do not need Lion, don't install it. It is a disaster.
Don't get me wrong. I am a huge Apple fun, but with this release I am getting a degavu regarding my MS Windows history. Lion has similar "features" as Windows has and which were my original reason the happily get rid of MS Windows. Apple has gone totally the wrong way with this release if you ask me.
Problem I have since I installed Lion:
- non responsive applications for no apparent reason.
- hanging system several times a day.
- having to reboot my system to get any response from it several time a day.
- totally unpredicatable battery lifetime of my MacBooks. Mostly less than half the original amount before installing Lion.
This is not just on a single system, but on all systems I have. All systems were bought during 2007.
In my opinion this release is in it's current state a disaster and absolutely not Apple worthy. I hope they fire some people at Apple for this, becaus this will damage the brand in my opinion and should never happen again.
Why MS style (in my opinion)? Apple has given a lot of focus on useless graphical features (LaunchPad and MissionControl) (also degavu regarding MS). Well I can tell you it is not worth it. Snow Leopard was working like a charm. Lion is more like a Snail.
I hope Apple will come with updates really quickly, otherwise I am afraid the are now on the same quality level as MS. The point have always been happy to pay the Apple prices, because they were absolutely worth it. I can get poor quality for much less money. Even though this update is very cheap, it is still not worth the money.
Best regards,
Ruud Wijnands

I have two other email accounts so the loss of loss of apple email is no big thing. Cheaper cell phones is not a bad thing either
so ha ha back at ya

You don't need all those previews

Seriously! You really don't need all those previews.
I have an article up now on when you actually do need previews and how to make them when needed:
http://homepage.mac.com/bagelturf/
More on the mysteries of previews soon.

Well, I don't think it is correct that previews are
only used for slide shows. For example, previews are
used for on-screen display in a situation where you
store your master images on a separate volume and
this volume is offline. Previews can be extremely
useful if the storage capacity on your computer is
limited (e.g laptop).
MacBook Pro 15
Mac OS X
(10.4.7)
Of course, but that's not a situation I will deal with as I don't use a laptop. Also, you can make just those previews that you will need for a presentation. I don't (for my purposes, yours may differ) see a need to keep 20 or 30 thousand preview files on my hardrive. It certainly faster and more economical to kick out the 4 or 500 previews you may need for a presentation than maintaining a whole image library worth.
Also, though it would eventually finish, as the preview's were being generated it bogged down my machine and made Aperture function like it did in version 1.1.2, sticky sliders, beachballs etc. heck even with the previews this version was still much better than the last. W/O the prev. generation, my iMac G5 is like a brand new fast computer. The speed and functionally gain is night and day. Now maybe when it finished making the thousands of previews it was generating the speed-up would occur, I suspect it would. But all those previews, to me, are just a waste of resources.

Why is apple selling security software and people say you don't need it

i got a imac 27 inch late 2013 and people are telling me i dont need security so why are apple selling it then
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/HC567ZM/A/intego-antivirus-and-security-mac-pr emium-bundle-2013?fnode=000104090a

Apple Stores sell all sorts of things, including software, that you do not need, but some may want anyway.
The simple fact is that there are only a very tiny number of threats in the wild for OS X and those are easily avoidable by simply not installing anything you did not purposely set out to (do not enter your admin password to an installer dialogue unless you know exactly what it is for).
That said, people have been buying anitvirus software for Apple computers since before OS X was even released. It has never really been needed, but such products have always existed and used by some.
If you really want it, buy it, but just know that there is no real need for it or purpose to having it.
Intego is a perfectly legitimate business, and like any software vendor they can arrange to have Apple sell their product. Apple does not dictate that what they sell meet some intrinsic need or purpose.

Verizon is Great as long as you don't need anything.
