Verizon sets up the customer to have to buy more or get charged for overage
Not only that, but there is an arbitration agreement that prevents any class action lawsuits. This issue has been occurring since I added my son's I-phone onto the package. With 2 flip phones, we never went over let alone used much data. However, just turning the Iphone on must use a ton of data and/or updates seem to use data as well. I initially only used about .5GB then with an Iphone, I used .75. 2GB was fine for awhile. Then I had to put a limit on my son's usage and cut him off. It didn't seem to matter. We have connected (when we can) to our Xfinity wireless, but we have had issues with that as well. We increased to 4GB this month and somehow we are over by .56 and counting.
In the numerous calls I've made, has provided methods of how to save data usage. I had to discover this one on my own. Even when I turned off the phone at night, turned off the cellular data, used the manual application for using cellular data on apps, put a limit on my son's data package (which amazingly seemed to be ignored by Verizon this month), logged into wireless anywhere I could, we still went over. It seems the cellular data is still used regardless.
If anyone has suggestions, please let me know. I am going to file a BBB complaint.
Data charges are scary when it seems impossible to manage! We can convert impossible to nothing by using data usage manager apps that are available both for the google play store and the app store. They give a breakdown of what apps are using how much data. The current available OS also has useful options in Settings. Simply touch "Cellular" and you can scroll down and disable cellular data for specific things. Another very useful tool is our data calculator: http://vz.to/1bdqvUW
We want the data to be managable for our customers so they can enjoy our amazing network. We want all our customers to love us and want to stay with us! Check out the countless reasons to choose Verizon Wireless: http://vz.to/13N0B6O .

ok, so i bought a imac 27 about 4 months ago, and now they release a new one! ****... So my question is, should I sell this one (which by the way is the i5 2.8 with 1 gb 5750 and 4gb ram) and buy the new imac 27 i5,or keep the one i have and buy more ram. I mostly use my computer for photoshop cs5 and illustrator cs5 for graphics out put as well as surfing the web and music.
Please give me you thoughts on what I should do!! Thanks lot!The new iMac is about 25% or so faster than your current iMac(comparable model would be the 3.1ghz version). There are a couple of things that you will benefit from such as the dual Thunderbolt/Mini Display ports/ which may help with multitasking. The video card in the new iMac again the comparable model being the 3.1ghz is a lotttttttt better than the current one that you have. So thinking of the long run those few things may be beneficial for you to upgrade(but it depends on what is important to you).
I had the 2.93ghz i7 version that I just bought in March this year and I turned around and sold it about a week before the new iMac's were announced. I got about $1600 for it, yeah I took a loss but to me it was worth it because my new iMac performs that much better. Now keep in mind I went from i7 to i7...3.4ghz i7 with the 2gb video card. Now I have dual thuderbolt/mini display ports. I have noticed significant gains in my video editing and also in my gaming. So to me it was definitely worth the upgrade!
One last thing, I would not have sold my 2.93 i7 and then bought the 3.1ghz i5, the big reason is because HT(hyper threading), it's only on the i7 model(3.4ghz)... If you take a look at some of the bench marks on engadget, maclife, macrumors, macworld, ****Barefeats.com(they really get into benchmarking)*** you will see charts that will help you make a better decision.
In closing I would say look into it, if you can get a good price out of your current iMac to put toward a new iMac then do it. Like others have mentioned to you, tech changes and Apple will change the tech in these machines next year or do a speed bump later this year or so. One last thing if you go from the 2.8 i5 up to the 3.4 i7, you would definitely see the difference (HT is a must especially for programs that utilize it. You can go to my youtube channel(mob1278) and take a look at my geekbench results.... my 2.93 i7 scored around 10500-11000(8gb ram)...my 3.4 i7 scores from 12700-13000 with 4gb ram....so yeah as you can see big difference. Basically the 3.4 i7 would perform similar or just under a 2.4ghz 8core 2010 Mac Pro which runs you about $3500 with no monitor.... it's your money spend it how you want....and Lion is only going to push it even more when it is released! -

I receive a 4s after been use for 2 years in the verizon network and the customer upgrade to a 5. I will like to use the phone overseas but I do not use Verizon, how I can get this phone legally unlocked without having to add service because I'm with Sprint under a contract?
I can get the prior owner of the phone info if you nedd to contac her to verify, just let me know thank you.
If the phone was used in the Verizon network for 2 years, is that not enough time to get the phone unlocked?I have sprint phone and service without simcard, Sprint and Verizon use CDMA. But if I can get the Verizon iPhone 4S unlocked, I can use it let's said in the caribean, canada, europe etc., with a local simcard from the service provider and country that I visit . No to be use here in USA with Sprint or Verizon, only to be use with GSM-Simcard when I travel out of USA.

Apple_ID_card_declined_for_this_country
How can you expect the customer to have a LOCAL/COUNTRY Based Credit Card every where we go???
Last week I was on holiday in HK,
and
from my Hotel I was able to use m VN Credit Card with my Apple ID and purchase online!
Why THIS WEEK, can't I use my HSBC Platinum Credit Card from Vietnam,
for my Singapore Apple ID account ,
while working here in Vietnam???Unfortunately, this is a problem that is driven by the DRM Dictatorship. Despite the proliferation of mobile devices and the fact that there are many of us who do a lot of international travel, content providers don't want you to have access to their products outside of your homeland. The Balkanized mentality of the DRM Dictatorship is way out of touch with the modern world.
At least Apple, to its credit, allows you to use your accounts outside of your homeland as long as you have the proper credentials for them. Most other services use the more Draconian geolocation filtering which does require you to be physically present in your homeland. For the most part, you are not allowed to leave home if you want access to your favorite entertainment! -
If I don't live in the USA I have to buy the Ipad from Verizon or AT
If I don't live in the USA, I have to buy the IPad 2 from Verizon or AT&T so I can use the 3G anywhere
The Verizon iPad will only work in the US, you will need to go with the AT&T version.

Push the customer to have inventory valuation checkup is not polite
Hi SAP AG,
Currently I did not understand what a person that have position as "Channels Enablement and Solutions Expert" and also a support organization named SAP support.
One of newest case I have received is an inventory valuation report reminder. SAP support confirm to a person named "Channels Enablement and Solutions Expert" and He/ She said that SAP support wonders why there is no response from all of customers.
Okay. let me tell ya now about the customer's disappointing statements as follows:
1. Resolution time is more than 2 weeks
2. On the scheduled time, they must upload their live db and must shut down their SBO operation time while the fixing of the productive live db is taking place. The schedule time is only in business hours of SAP Support and not their business hour
3. They have to download their live db after fixing finished
4. They must "give" their db and they will realize soon that the secret in the db will be exposed to other company where they are sure that the company's secret will be opened
What I dislike, it seems the SAP push the customer to have the inventory valuation checkup either through Channels Enablement and Solutions Expert persons or another. Let them decide and you should not have to know their refusal or opinion

Does anyone know how to speak to human being in customer service for iTunes? I got charged for something and have no clue what I got charged for. I have not used iTunes yet. I have spent a lot of time trying to get this resolved on the apple site and there just seems no way to do it. Thanks.
iTunes Customer Service is an online service unless they feel they need to call you.

I am part of a family sharing setup. Can I have my own payment method so the organizer does not get charged for my purchases? If so, how do I set this up?
Yes. Just redeem gift cards so that your own account always has a sufficient credit balance. Here is how it works:
Family purchases and payments
After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card. -
My mouse pointer in finder is not working by double clicking on the application.I have to double click and select open for opening the application.Can you suggest me some settings to fix this problem?
Hi,
Try this ... reboot your Mac and see if double clicking works again.
Also, you can just select the Application you like to open and hold down the Command+O to open.
Also, did you check your setting for the mouse in system preferences.

Can I use a plug in USB camera reader to have a load of movies etc on an external hard drive and then plug and play so to speak? I'm off on holiday and haven't got the capacity on the iPad to have everything on that I'd like for the kids.
So basically I want a hard drive with X amount of films etc on. Can I then watch them on my iPad?
Hope this makes sense.External HDD won't work.
You need something like this:

I'm converting from a PC to iMac. On the PC I have many Inbox folders with PR info for distribution. How do I get these folders from the PC to the iMac? I've used the Windows e mail Inbox folders for an easy access filing cabinet for years, as this all goes out on e mail. Thanks for assisting me!
I think the easiest way would be to use Migration Assistant to get all that over...
