Verizon Sent My Replacemen​t Router to the Wrong Address; Now Saying They'll Bill Me for It

On Saturday, my cable modem started rebooting spontaneously, every hour or two. When I called Customer Support on Monday, they said it was unsuccessfully trying to install new firmware, and would keep rebooting for the foreseeable future. Customer Support agreed to send me a new modem; I was to get it on Tuesday, 12/10.
When I checked the UPS status site on Tuesday afternoon, it said the cable modem had been delivered to my house at 11 AM on Tuesday. It hadn't, at least not to my address. When I called Verizon, the agent told me they wouldn't send me another one as they'd already sent it to me. When I pressed the point because my home network still wasn't up, the agent told me my only option was to drive 20 miles to a Verizon Fios office and exchange my bad cable modem for a good one. I did that last night (3 hours of my time, $6 in gas). So after four days my home network is back up. That's good.
The bad news is I was told at the Verizon store (and my earlier call) that I would be charged for any unreturned cable modem (my guess is $100). In other words, according to Verizon I have the missing modem ("We sent it to you, sir; and you seem to think it's not your job to track it down. If I were you, I'd find it."), and so will be charged for it. I called UPS this morning, and discovered that they delivered the cable modem to the wrong address -- it went to River ROAD rather than River STREET. They have started an investigation, and if it turns out the cable modem is lost, they will reimburse Verizon. My question is, How do I notify Verizon that UPS lost the modem, so that Verizon should be getting the cost from them, not me? Given the unhelpful nature of the Verizon agents I've dealt with (the common refrain is, "I'm sorry, I can't help you with that, sir"), I know I will be charged for the missing cable modem unless I can figure out who in the Verizon bureaucracy to talk to. Any suggestions?
The funny thing is, several weeks ago I was considering paying Verizon for the 100 Mbps Internet service. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to avoid paying $100 for a cable modem I don't have when I close out my Verizon service and move over to Comcast in the next several weeks. It's going to be a pain to move, but frankly, I have better things to do than deal with "that's not my job" people for hours on end.

    Hi,
    WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none received"... Help
    I have tried network diagnostics which doesnt help... The only other ting is, when I woke the computer up it said tat another device was using my IP... My wife had plugged her phone into the computer to charge etc but even when i turn wifi off on the phone there is no change... also in settings on the phone the IP address is different...

    The answer to your question is - neither!
    Your PC should to configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically, from the Airport Express. This is the way Windows (and Macs for that matter) are configued by default, and that is the way most people have their computers set up. If you manually configured your PC's IP address to be the same as your wife's Mac, it certainly explains why your PC is not able to access the internet.

  • I pre-ordered an iPhone 6 Plus and the delivery date now says October 14th. The point of the pre-order is to get it on release day (or shortly thereafter). Can I go to a Verizon store to pick up my new phone on release day?

    I pre-ordered an iPhone 6 Plus and the delivery date now says October 14th. The point of the pre-order is to get it on release day (or shortly thereafter). Can I go to a Verizon store to pick up my new phone on release day?

    I'm not sure that answers the question Candice.
    I'm in the same situation.  I was up trying to get on the Verizon page at 11:55, kept getting the ECPD error.  When finally got through, the Silver Iphone Plus 64 showed arrival of 9-19.  At every step of the process, it seemed that I was ordering a phone that would arrive on day1.  At no point did it say this was an estimate.  At no point did it say it might change.  In a big yellow box, it said "9-19".  Ordered it, then got confirmation email stating it should arrive at 9-19.   Seems like all should be good, right?  Order site said 9-19, I've got a confirmation email saying 9-19, done and done.
    Then I check the website, and suddenly it changed to 10-14?!?!?!?  I feel like this was a bait and switch.  I was able to pickup an iphone5 in a local store on launch day, and would not have locked myself into a preorder through Verizon if I had known this would happen!
    So, that leads back to the original questions.  Lets assume I walk into a Verizon store on 9-19, and there is an available iphone6 plus just sitting there, can I either get that phone as fulfillment of my pre-order.  Or, cancel my pre-order and buy that phone right then and there?

    I'm trying to reset my apple ID password but forgot my security questions. Apple are sending the confirmation e-mail to the wrong address, please help?

    Hello AndrewsAFCx,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    If you cannot remember your security questions for your Apple ID, I would recommend these steps outlined in the article named:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

    Why doesn't iphoto let me order the book I composed? They say I have the wrong address yet it is my address.

    What Print Products Store do you have iPhoto linked to in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane?
    Is it the correct one for where you address is?

    It is not available in Mail any longer (for quite a while, now).
    You can add a rule to have Mail mark them as junk, or you could possibly log onto your Email provider's web site and block that address.

    Ask the person who owns the iPhone.
    Which version of Cydia appears on the iPhone - the one
    with the black and white icon or a different one?
    If it was jailbroken, contact the developers of the jailbreak.
    Not all jailbreaks can be completely removed.
    Google may provide some direction.

    In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
    iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

  • HT5787 Apple is sending my reset-email to the wrong address!!!

    I would like to reset my password for my Apple Id.
    But, I forgot one of the security questions.
    I follow the procedure:
    - I requested the reset-email.
    - I have access to the email registered with apple id
    - the reset-email has not arrived
    I tried couple of times.
    But, below the security questions, it says it will send the reset email to the address  [email protected]
    The thing is: I do NOT have any email like that registered with apple.
    Is apple sending my reset-email to the wrong address??
    What do I do? There is no link to report this directly to Apple, is there??
    Thanks a lot to the community.
    Clarice

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
