Verizon is trying to dumb me. Either I upgrade or they do not service lifeline in this ares

When you get the Verizon landline telephone service ,get the telephone number,  you send the lifeline applaction form to the Verizon Lifeline Dept. ,  that is very easy,   but if you upgrade to  TRIPLE PKG,   I do not know how to do.,   I just know lifeline Discount just ONLY  ONLY for the TEL. landline only.     not internet and TV.

if they try to pressure you into getting FiOS, tell them you'd consider switching to their fiber optic phone service for same price as your POTS line costs....(POTS=plain old telephone service, or copper line phone)...but get it in writing....i'm pretty sure that if the switch from copper is at their insistence, then they must provide you with equivalent service at no extra cost to you....and that they do indeed have fiber optic telephone lines that aren't technically FiOS....of course i don't have any links to sources of this info....i read it quite some time ago and i'm not in the habit of saving links to interesting info....i could "google" it, but why bother....anyway, good luck.....ooh, i almost forgot....what i read said that they must continue to provide you with equivalent telephone service at no added cost, but it did NOT say that would include DSL high-speed Internet access, so if you use Verizon dsl   you may get a price increase there, or they may still try and insist you pay FiOS prices

  • Hi, i have downloaded peppa pig series using itunes, and have tried to sync them to my Ipad Mini and IPhone 5, however it is not working it states "videos from your Itunes libary can not be copied to 'ipad' because they can not be played on this Ipad.

    I have downloaded Peppa Pig series using Itunes and have tried to sync the tv programme to both my Ipad Mini and IPhone 5.  However neither work saying that 'videos from Itunes Libary can not be copied to 'ipad' because they can not be played on this I Pad.  I have downloaded the HD episodes is this my problem or do i need to download a 'video watching' app?  Please help we are going away next week and the episodes were to help keep my toodler occupied on the plane.  thank you

    The error you received kinda looks like the one in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4223
    But the iPhone 5 and the iPad mini should support HD videos. 
    What I would try is downloading the movies directly to your iPad mini or your iPhone.  You will want to do this when connected to Wi-Fi, but you can follow these steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    I hope that helps!

    Don't know.  Could be any number of reasons.  Re-read the how to install RAM manual again for your model iMac.  Double & triple check to make sure you purchased the right RAM chips.   Make sure they are seated properly.  If you didn't hear a snap when seated, the RAM is not properly seated.

    I have tried to delete icons from the desk top but they do not remove.  I am not sure what to do.

    Sounds like its permissions have been changed.
    Right-click (or ctrl-click) the file and choose 'get info' from the drop-down.
    Read the permissions at the bottom of the Info window.

    When Firefox asks whether you want to make it your default browser, say No. If it does anyway, the next time you start IE, IE will re-assert itself as the default browser.

  • I am trying to retrieve folders- they do not appear in Thunderbird, but are on the hard drive.

    1. I have used Thunderbird for 5 years or so, using at least 3 mail addresses at a time. I stow useful mails in folders and subfolders for reference. I regularly use Mozbackup.
    2. Recently I found that one of the main folders was missing, a search of the hard drive revealed that the.msf folders are there, but I dont know how to restore them.
    3. In an effort to retrieve them from a Mozbackup file, i found that email addresses 1,2 and 3 were available.
    This was not useful as email addresses 2 and 3 had been replaced by email addresses 4 and 5 3 years ago. (Mozbackup issue)
    4. Thus I now have only folders from email 1 and all other from emails 4 and 5 have gone.
    Would be grateful for any help
    Graham, Cape Town, South Africa

    re: 2.'' Recently I found that one of the main folders was missing, a search of the hard drive revealed that the.msf folders are there, but I dont know how to restore them.''
    *.msf files are indexing files. They do not contain emails.
    If there is eg:
    Inbox file with no extension is an mbox file; this is the file with emails.
    Inbox.msf is the indexing file. Does not contain emails.
    If you have imap mail account, then you would need to synchronise a subscribed folder to get a copy into your thunderbird Profile. Then it will create an mbox file.
    If the Folder was only a subscribed folder, but not synchronised, then there will not be any emails stored in your profile folder.
    Subscribed foldres only download headers and when you select to view an email, a copy of the folder or xx emails if that option is selected, is downloaded to a temporary folder which is used to get quicker access to emails. These emails are not stored in your profile, they are stored on the server.
    So, please tell us what you use.
    re: mail accounts 1, 4 and 5
    Are the mail accounts IMAP or Pop?
    If mail account 4 and 5 were IMAP mail accounts, then these emails will be stored on the server.
    So create new IMAP mail account and you should see all emails on the server.

  • HELP.  I have no sound on iPhone 4S.  No problem until today. I searched this site and tried some of these solutions, but they did not work.  Is this an Apple problem?

    Sounds on my iPhone 4S just mysteriously disappeared today.  They were gone when I woke up this morning.  It's like somebody sneaked in the middle of the night and stole them.  How do I get SOUNDS back on my iPhone. I searched several sites and read solutions from blowing air into connection port to putting phone in freezer.  HOW do I get sounds back. I do not use headphones or any attachment for my phone. I do not download movies, music or games.  I only use it for phone, texting and surfing the web.  Any suggestions for getting sounds back again?  THANK YOU.

    Also try:
    1. Resetting the SMC > Resetting the System Management Controller
    2. Resetting the PRAM > Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Then perhaps while you have it off and disconnected from the power, give the output jack a quick shot of electronic cleaner, then run a jack plug in and out a few times and follow up with a short blast of dry air.

  • I down loaded two movies to watch on a flight, when I tried two watch either one of them, it said" not authorized for this content"   Not sure what this means. I don't think I have child control on.

    I Down loaded two movies to watch on a flight. When I tried to watch either one of them it said " not authorized to watch this content" and it would load to watch. I donot believe I have child controls on.

    I have read about some cases where movies rented or purchased on one device will not play on another device. Seems to happen mostly with Apple TV and iPads. One way some have worked around it is to cable from the downloaded device to a TV or Apple TV.
    Were these movies purchased or rented from iTunes? Not sure, but that almost sounds like a iTunes Password problem. Maybe try checking that you're signed in as the same account that purchased the movies.

  • I am signed into the App Store on my iphone 4 and one of my apps need updating and my brother was signed into it but its like its locked to his Apple ID I have tried signing out and turning my phone off its just not working

    I am signed into the App Store on my iphone 4 and one of my apps need updating and my brother is signed into it because I didn't have any credit to make an ID so he signed in so I could download apps but its like its locked to his Apple ID I have tried signing out and turning my phone off its just not working please help.

    Apps are locked to the Apple ID that was used to download them. You will have to sign in as your brother in order to update it.

  • I thought I had signed my ipod into icloud but when i'm trying to find my ipod icloud from my pc is not recognizing it.  Can I track my ipod by serial number

    I thought I had registered my sons ipod with icloud but now that he's lost it I've tried finding where it is through icloud but it's not recognized.  Does this mean it's not actually registered or offline?   Is there any other way to track it.

    No.  You needed to have set up an iCloud account on the iPod before it was lost, as the find my iPod feature is a setting under the iCloud account.  You are out of luck at this point.

  • Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

    Ok this is bizzare!
    Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
    So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
    AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
    I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

  • I have a Samsung Convoy "dumb" phone, and I plan to keep it until Verizon forces me to some **** overpriced "smart" phone.  Since they migrated Backup Assistant to "the Cloud", I am unable to print a hard copy list of contacts. The web site just runs you

    I have a Samsung Convoy "dumb" phone, and I plan to keep it until Verizon forces me to some **** overpriced "smart" phone.  Since they migrated Backup Assistant to "the Cloud", I am unable to print a hard copy list of contacts. The web site just runs you around in circles, never getting to the answer of how to print out contacts.  I'm sure the marketing people and web creators just love this Frankenstein monster they have built, but for me and my phone, it's just a huge pain in the ***!  Do they plan to fix this, or just let us dinosaurs go away and die?
