Verizon's upgrade was a down grade

Verizon upgrade software and now every one has poor to no service.  Their response is to update phones, my phone has a build date of middle of June.  They just want everyone to buy new phone or else switch carriers.

You are barking up the wrong tree. You bought a phone with Android software, which is controlled by Google. You need to contact Google with your concerns.

  • XP Upgrade Issues, down grade Issues

    I did something that I am ashamed of. I installed the latest software onto my kids' PC without waiting for everyone else to get and work out the bugs. So I upgraded to version 7 iTunes. Since then we cannot burn a CD. Recognizes the burner in the adminstrators account but not in the limited accounts of the kids. Also does not allow downloading to the kids cell phones. So I down grade to 6.0.5 and get it working but I still have the same issues with burning and transferring to the cell phone. It all worked before, why can't it work again?

    Talltenor,
    Do an erase and install, for sure. It's totally worth it in the long run. Even my desktop looked cleaner after the erase and install . .. before, after an archive and install, my 'documents' folder icon was this CGA (remember that?)-looking thing and my dock didn't look transparent.
    I would take it one step further and format my harddrive with the disk utilities on the leopard DVD if I were to do it all over again.
    Also, don't transfer your account after the erase and install. That can bring a lot of preferences that don't jib with Leopard.
    Install all of your programs one at a time. I think that a lot of problems are caused by programs people downloaded during Tiger and then forgot about having; you know, neat little shareware things like Alarm Clock programs, that are not compatable with Leopard. Even if they are deleted or not migrated, they may have adjusted your preferences or added preference code that isn't compatable with Leopard.
    Finally, Leopard has an included copy of Bootcamp. I don't know a lot about Parallels, and it may be the program that best fits your needs, but Bootcamp is pretty neat! I just checked and Parallels works with Bootcamp - the program is able to find the partition you created with bootcamp.
    Good luck!

    I shut down when an upgrade was taking too long yesterday, now Itunes will not open today

    Hello James,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    From what you are describing, I have 2 recommendations. First, troubleshoot for 3rd party plugins that may be causing an issue after the interrupted update:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
    If the issue persists after followign the article, I would next download iTunes from the download page, and install it.

    Take care,

  • HT201401 Can I down grade from ios6 as since upgrading phone is slow and unresponsive. This is driving me crazy. This page took ages to load on a wireless connection.

    Since upgrading to iso6 phone is slow and unresponsive. Can I reset and down grade? I'm a complete technophobic and have no idea how to do this. Any help would be fab!

    There is no legit way at all to downgrade.
    Have you tried basics from the manual to help your issue?
    Restart, reset, restore

  • After many emails and letter that is was time to upgrade we went into verizon to upgrade.. after 2 hours of picking phones etc. we are charged $30 per phone to upgrade. Nowhere was this advertised.. want my money back!!!!

    After many messages and letters that is was time to upgrade our phone we went to the verizon store.. After 2 more hours of picking phones (not the flip one I so wanted) we get to the pay part and find out we are now charged $30 per phone to upgrade???  What???  No where on any advertisements or anywhere in the store is this stated...I have called, texted, emailed and complained to everyone and have been promised a refund time after time yet nothing has been credited to my account yet.  I have been with Verizon for 15 years and this will be my last upgrade with them... and just try to get a real person on the phone!!!

    No I didn't choose not to see it...in the Verizon store it was NOT posted anywhere it was on the contract but again after 2 hours I signed it my fault I know... however I won't be going to any of the phone companies..my smarter son has NO contract pays $35 per month but did have to buy his phone...but it would only take 3 months of bills to make up for the "FREE" phones I didn't get....
    A) it IS posted this has been proven. Tell you what go back to that store take your camera and take pictures of the price tags on the phones then post them here showing us that the fee isn't on the price tags.
    B) READ your contract before signing. Why people don't do this is beyond me.
    C) What cruddy service does he have? No way he has a smartphone. Sorry didn't get a 100% free phone. Seriously that sounds really entitled. My son upgraded his phone to a LG Lucid. It was 97 cents plus the upgrade fee with taxes and all came to $35. Do I feel "ripped off" because he got a phone that retails for $450 for $35? Nope. Why should I feel ripped off for a 92% discount?

  • Verizon or Apple activation server down?

    I spent about 3 hours in a NY city area Apple store yesterday (Saturday November 3, 2012), attempting to pick up my iPhone 5.  Apple said the Verizon servers were down, Verizon said there was nothing wrong on their end.  Has there been a issue recently?  I even attempted to just purchase the phone and I would activate it myself (as I travel frequently), Apple said they could not do that because they could not sell the phone without Verizon knowing the phone was sold.  Apple explained that they actually activate the phone when its sold, but they have to communicate with Verizon to let them know this (action) has occured.
    My basic question, was/is Verizon having an issue activating phones?
    Thanks in advance for any answers.

    i work for an indirect agent so i will give it to you straight. Verizon has servers in the basement of a building in new york....its a data exchange server system. it links two systems together. from what i have heard is the basement has been flooded since Wednesday and it crapped out yesterday. they say its an "update" to make it sound scheduled but it was not. They immediately started using "older" back up systems and got a lot of the country back online but at very very slow speeds. I think i have seen one email today saying they are still experiencing "lag" today on the network. Verizon does have hundreds of people working on these issues and of course they hate the fact they are losing money every min the problem persists. just call your local store before going and ask if they are able to upgrade or activate today in the store.

  • How do I down-grade from Aperture 3 to Aperture 2?

    With great gusto I installed Aperture 3 on release. I now have an unusable piece of junk instead of a photo app. I've tried to get work done with it, I just can't. It simply isn't usable.
    I need to down-grade, but I'm worried that just copying back my library and my old program files won't be enough. for a start, Software update installed an extra package for Aperture 3 - so what will happen if I try to use Aperture 2 when that's still installed? Or can I un-install that update?
    Any guidance would be much appreciated. I can't be the only person trying to turn back time on this dud update!
    Bart.

    Hi Bart.
    I am sorry you are having problems. Until a few days ago I felt similarly to you but, having contacted Apple Aperture Support and implemented their suggestions, I have had no further lock ups or crashes.
    Some background:-
    I have been using Aperture since 1.5 & I have used Lightroom since Beta 1. Because I rely on these apps. heavily and because Adobe and Apple appeared to be leap frogging each other with better and better features as each app. matures, I have run BOTH apps. side by side since the early days. A bit of an over kill perhaps but that`s what I do.
    Now, Aperture 2 was a huge upgrade from 1.5 and superior to the currrent LR version. When LR 2.0 was released I foolishly purchased and installed. Well, this version was appalling; local adjustments were almost unusable but I was also experiencing other issues. I contacted Adobe LR support and found them arrogant and rude at the extreme!! I wrote to the head honcho in an extremely strongly worded letter and demanded a refund as the software was not fit for purpose. Very quickly I received a reply with a series of helpful suggestions. Those I duly implemented and LR 2.0 worked reasonably well BUT, the local adjustments were still a sack of C**P! I returned LR 2.0 to the background and used AP 2.0 in my primary workflow. LR was upgraded, local adj. became useable, quite good actually and I then implemented LR into my primary workflow. Aperture was becoming a bit long in the tooth by now with lots or rumours about it`s demise. Well eventually AP 3.0 was released! I downloaded and started to use it with some newly imported images, leaving my AP 2.0 library alone and VERY well backed up (obviously). I experienced a shed load of problems - crashing, lock ups and other weird things! I had no problems with any other App.
    I decided to ring Apple Aperture Support. The difference between Apple Support and Adobe Support was like chalk & cheese! Apple were punctual, pleasant, efficient whereas Adobe were just plain slow and arrogant (mostly).
    The guy from Apple asked me loads of questions about my system, workflow etc and we spent about 30 mins chatting. He suggested a plan that I invoked as he talked through this on the line.
    Now, I know you are a computer scientist and I am NOT but I do know my way around the Mac quite well and i am a professional photographer with not a little experience. To that end I can only explain to yoou what I did and the effects.
    1. We created a Guest account and ran Ap. clean. New library and new imports - worked well.
    2. Logged in to my account, deleted the Aperture plist, deleted the library and re-imported a small number of images.
    3. To date I have had NO crashes or lovc ups, in fact Ap 3.0 is working beautifully if not a little
    resource hungry! I Have FACES switched OFF).
    4. It was also suggested that I reinstall the app. but I have not found that necessary.
    5. Support also suggested that as it is "early days" with 3.0 users are better placed to install and use initially with a new library BEFORE importing AP 2.0 libs.
    6. Images I process in Aperture 3.0 using NIkon D700 & D3 look fantastic and I am very happy with the results.
    7. I have used virtually every aspect of Ap. 3.0 and have not had any problems with Export to Mobile Me, Places, Slideshow etc.
    8. There is no doubt that AP 3.0 is resource hungry. I have the Activity Monitor open when using Ap. and at times both Memory & CPU resources appear to be very "stretched".
    As I say I am not a super geek but I do know Aperture (and Lightroom) and cannot explain fully why I no longer have any problems? I do know however that Ap. is working beautifully and I will almost certainly be using this in my main workflow whilst continuing to use LR in the background.
    There is no doubt that this upgrade was immense and if Apple continue to evolve this app. quickly AND update RAW support in a timely fashion I will probably use it.
    MY Hardware:-
    iMac 24" - 2.4 GHZ Intel Core Duo 4GB Ram ATI RadeonHD2600
    I hope this of interest and also hope that if anyone is experiencing any problems with AP. 3.0 that they are resolved in a timely fashion.
    Hope your AP 2.0 Library was backed up - you are a computer scientist after all (:-
    Regards.
    Nick

  • How do I down grade to software 3.0.0 ??? My phone is not working :(

    Thank to new stupid upgrade. I couldn't make any call. I upgraded my phone and went out. My phone wasn't working at all. Is there any way I can down grade to 3.0.0 again? Thanks guys

    Likely no way to go from 3.0.1 to 3.0 -- and in the long run you could regret doing so if you could do it.
    If in L.A. seems like your best course is either to call Apple tech support today and get their advice or take it to an Apple store (likely you will need an appointment).

  • I clicked on an  upgrade box and when the upgrade was done my ipad wanted my passcode to open it up.  I have not had to use a passcode to open up my ipad since I set it up and cannot remember the passcode.  Every time I try a passcode it disables

    I clicked on an upgrade box on my ipad and when the upgrade was done my ipad wanted my passcode to open it back up.  I have not had to use a passcode to open up my ipad since I set it up and cannot remember the passcode.  Every time I try a passcode it disables for longer and longer.  It is now disabling for an hour at a time.

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • I have been suggested to down grade to 10.6.6 due to issues with Adobe and Apple working things out. I have downloaded 10.6.6 but wont let me install. Any ideas?

    I have been suggested to down grade to 10.6.6 due to issues with Adobe and Apple working things out. I have downloaded 10.6.6 but wont let me install. Any ideas?

    Yes, simply reinstall from your Snow Leopard installer disc.  The reinstall will not erase the hard drive.  After reinstalling you can upgrade to 10.6.6 with your updater.

  • Vist OS was deleted when Windows 7 Upgrade was installed

    Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5965.  Vista OS was deleted when Windows 7 Upgrade was installed and failed to activate, because the Internet was down for a week.  Now there is just the Toshiba basics but no OS on the hard drive.  No Vista and no 7.  The problem now is that my 7 is an upgrade and cannot be installed on a computer that does not already have Vista installed, and my Toshiba Vista recovery discs also won’t work unless Vista is installed.
    I presume that reinstalling Vista will then enable me to reinstall the 7 upgrade and all will be well.  However, it seems that I will need a full version of Vista.  Maybe my Toshiba Windows Vista serial number will work or maybe I do not even need to activate Vista.  I only need Vista on the drive long enough to install and activate 7.
    Where can I find a Vista download or disc that will do the job?
    Maybe it will be easier to take the computer to a tech shop and let them install a temporary Vista?  If I don’t need a serial number or wish to keep Vista I certainly do not want to buy Vista.
    Am I on the right track or is there another solution?
    Les

    It may be an upgrade disc but you can install Windows 7 thru it.
    I'll sum it up:
    Back up any files that you need.
    Insert the Windows 7 Upgrade disc.
    Turn computer off.
    Power on the computer then hold F12 right away until you get a boot menu.
    Select CD/DVD using the arrow keys and press enter.
    follow thru the install process.
    You can only do a custom install.
    Make sure to have the Windows7 product key ready.
    After installing windows 7, run the  Toshiba Software Installer to install toshiba's own software and drivers.

  • Can i down grade from my Smart Phone to a basic?

    I find that i realy don't use my data much and have taken it all the way down to 1G. I am on the Share Everything Plan and have a little less than a year to go on my contract.Is there any way to get rid of the data and down grade?

    Good pint Ann154..I guess I should've asked this first... Deano67, do you have any other lines on your account? And how long have you been with Verizon Wireless? I ask this because you may have access to a Nationwide plan where you could get rid of data altogether for the line (with a basic phone) but the cost effectiveness would depend on your usage and if there are other lines on the account.
    And yes, as long as you have only one or no smartphones on the account then you can go down from 1gb to 300mb for $10 less a month.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Mountain lion was shutting down properly at first. Now it continually reboots. how do I fix that?

    Mountain Lion 10.8 was shutting down properly at first. Now it just continually reboots.

    Sounds like an issue for Lion Community for one, and worth try booting from Windows DVD and run auto repairs.
    Did you ever erase your hard drive or update, when you installed Lion? There wre problems with upgrade to Lion 10.7.0 and Windows partitions on systems running 10.6.8.
    There are also problems associated with changes in 10.7.4 which is why waiting a week for reports to surface.
    When you update OS X just like Windows it needs to reboot into OS X to complete the update. I'm not sure what and why, or whether you are talking about trying to use Lion Recovery mode.
    To me it sounds like a partition table, maybe 10.7.4 tried to update or modify something more than just the OS.
    And of course make system restore images for both and any OS when it is working and before install updates. OS  X lets you make bootable clone and sparse disk image as well as TimeMachine. Windows will create a restore image of the system also.
    Boot Windows DVD can't hurt.
