Want to upgrade to X, have to change calling plans

Right now I have the Connect plan. four lines with regular phones, and one line with Eris. My current bill is 217.00
I am wanting to upgrade and replace the eris with the X....by using one of my other lines that is eligible for an upgrade....thus keeping the same configuration. Four regular lines with one smartphone.
Verizon rep told me with the new plan, my bill will go up 30.00 dollars.....even though I will still only have one smartphone..
Is this true?

You won't need your Leopard install DVD to upgrade.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later

         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later

I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade but I have a new Apple ID, how can I make certain I don't lose any data in my iBooks?

I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade iBook but it is "stuck" on my old ID, yet I already created a new ID but it won't let me update the App. I have everything backed up on my MacBook so if I delete iBooks on my iPad and retrieve the App under my new ID and then sync with my MacBook, will I still have all of the books, etc.?

Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you bought all of the books with the old ID then AFAIK you will have to continue to use that ID in order to continue to sync those books to the iPad.
You have to update the app with the old ID so I don't see how you could keep the books with the new ID. Maybe I am wrong about this, but someone else will chime in I'm sure and correct me if I am wrong.

Have a discontinued calling plan. Will I be forced into new plan when my contract is up next month?

I looked around for the answer, but couldn't find it.
I have an old plan, "family national freedom 900", with two lines on it. The total is 59.99 + 9.99 (talk only, no texting). My contract ends 9/29. We have two samsung hues.
When my contract ends next month, will I be forced to change to one of the new, more expensive family plans?
Both phones are eligibe for Ne2. I'd like to get a droid2, and I understand that I'd have to do the data plan for 29.99, and I'd be happy keeing the hue for the other phone (or we could upgrade it to another feature phone that does not require a data plan), but I'd really like to be able to keep my current calling plan. Any idea if this will work? Should I just hold off on upgrading until I know what is going to happen with my plan?

You may want to ask this on the Alltel board - Former Alltel Customer Assistance - (if you haven't already) where those more familiar with Alltel, the changeover, and all the nuances and ramifications can give you a better answer. It may be possible to do what you want and still keep your Alltel plan, but my guess is you would be switched to a Verizon plan.
The closest would be the Talk plan for 69.99 for 700 minutes (same price, but fewer minutes) and then add the data plan for the Droid 2. If you do not upgrade, you will be able to keep your plan indefinitely. When you do upgrade, most likely you will need to change your plan to a Verizon one...there are some people that have kept their Alltel calling plans with smartphones though, so it IS possible. I'm not sure of the details of the plans and phones involved though....

Change calling plan

We are on a 1400 minute calling plan and are not using nearly as many minutes as we used to. We want to scale back down to 750 minutes. I have been told repeatedly by Verizon I can do this online, but I cannot find where. Under the Plan area of My Verizon it only asks if I want to change messages, Internet spam and other stuff, not my basic plan. It's like finding a needle in a haystack, maybe by design. Can someone plese point me to exactly where I can do this?

Under "My Verison" , choose "Calling Plans and Services" then "Change Minutes, Text, or Data". Note that if you have an old grandfathered plan (Like I have family shared 450 from years ago that is no longer offered), your plan may not be visible. In this case for any options on that page you should see a warning that you must call support to make the desired changes. DO NOT make changes in this case since doing so may change your minutes.

Also note if you use a substantial amount of Friends & Family minutes, these will disappear if you lower your plan to the 700 minute plan.
For example, on the 1400 minute plan you receive 10 Friends & Family #s. If you call these numbers for a total of 500 minutes/month and all of your other calls total, lets say, 500 minutes/month, then the minutes usage on the 1400 minute plan would only show up as 500 minutes counted against your allowance.
If you were on the 700 minute plan, you would not get the Friends & Family #s and your usage would show up as 1000 minutes, which would be your entire allowance and 300 minutes of overage minutes for an overage fee of $135 for this month.
Before you make this change, be sure that you will not fall into this category, as this could get very expensive.

Changing Calling Plan and Effects on Contract

How does changing a calling plan effect my current contract/ Does it cause the contract to start over or continue as is?

Hello Redsticktech! You can change your plan at any time. As your needs change, you can change to any current plan. You won't pay any additional fees and you won't have to extend your contract. Keep in mind if you decide to change your plan do so at the beginning of your bill cycle to prevent proration.

Itunes want to upgrade songs that have been deleted.

Itunes is offerning me the option to upgrade songs to iTunes Pluss. However some of these songs were deleted a long time ago.
How do I remove any reference to previously purchased but now deleted songs
Thanks
Antony

You can't. The iTunes Plus upgrade goes by the purchase history in the user's iTunes Store account, not by what's on the computer. Just don't select to upgrade those deleted songs.

Why do I have to change my plan when I switch my device?

My IPhone 4s isn't working at all and I was told I could temporarily switch to another device. I am switching to a basic phone. When I proceed online to switch the device, it tells me I have to switch plans as well. I don't need more data, but I do not want to go down in data.

mrhelper wrote:
I assume you have unlimited data? Unlimited data was never an option for basic phones so that's probably the reason.
Actually basic phones did have an option for an unlimited data plan at one time. Not any more though.

Why do I have to change plans when I upgrade my device?

I went to a Verizon store today to check out upgrade devices since I'm due in two weeks. I was told that I would also have to change my plan when I upgrade my device.... why? Never did before. I get 4gig of data for $30, why would I want to pay $70? Makes no sense to me.If that is the case, I might as well check all carriers and possibly switch.

The new pricing is to expensive. Only an idiot would pay full price for a phone. I'd rather deal with the sticky "w" on my keyboard and keep the plan I already have. I am looking at the other carriers and found T Mobile might have what I'm looking for. I can buy a phone on EBay and use it there. I don't need unlimited phone and messaging if I have to pay so much more for the same data plan I already have. I'm under $100 now, the new plan would be around $120. I pay $30 for 4G data. New packages are $70 for the same data package.

I am currently running Leopard (10.5.8) on my late 2008 iMAC. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion and I have been informed that I must first upgrade to Snow Leopard first. What operating issues could I face after doing this?

Based on user issues I am reading should I even attempt this. One of my reasons of wanting to upgrade is to have the ability to upgrade to newer versions of certain programs such as Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop.

I've upgraded several Mac from 10.5 to 10.6 and all the installations were trouble-free. However, in an abundance of caution, back up before you start upgrading.
RAM: Most 2008 iMac shipped with 2GB RAM. Your iMac 2008 can use up to 4GB RAM "officially" and up to 6GB with memory modules introduced since Apple's offical specs were engraved in stone. Although 10.6 may do ±OK with 2GB, I suspect Photoshop is glomming on to all you have. Lion10.7 will just barely work with 2GB and 10.8 Mtn Lion may slow to a crawl.
I get all my RAM upgrades here:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_PC2-6400
Never had a problem with any of their RAM and I've been getting it from them for over a decade--and we have 18 Macs in the family!

Want to upgrade hard drive and install SL

Hi
I own a 4 year old Macbook Pro with Leopard (15", A1211, 2.33 Intel Core 2 Duo). I want to upgrade the hard drive. I am planning on just removing the old one, and placing the new hard drive into it. Then buy a Snow Leopard ($29) and install it.
Is that possible? or I need to install Leopard (I own the DVD, the $129, my MBP came with Tiger) and then upgrade to SL?
I also am not sure if my DVD drive of MBP is working. It rejects any CD or DVD inserted into it. So, can I used an external DVD drive (USB connected) for installing the SL?
Do I need to take any other precautions? I have a Time Machine backup of almost everything on my HDD.

You can install Snow Leopard from the $29.95 version.
As for the optical drive not working, I'd get that fixed first. It may be due to the clock battery beginning to age, or dirt or dust in the drive, or damage to the drive. Not all external DVD drives work. The ones from http://www.macsales.com/ do. Bring it in to a service center to make sure the Clock battery isn't beginning to go. That typically happens after 4 years.
Before installing anything new, backup your data at least twice*:

And then follow these steps to upgrade*:

I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

I had downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and had to replace my hard drive. Now when I try to download it only wants to upgrade since I show that I previously purchased it. What can I do to get the operating system back

I'm unclear on what the problem is. Have you installed a system on the new hard drive, and if so, what system? Had you actually installed Mountain Lion previously, or only downloaded it? And what does "it only wants to upgrade" mean? Have you actually got Mountain Lion already installed? (See About This Mac in the Apple menu.)
All Macs that shipped with Lion or newer are capable of internet recovery in situations like this. Just hold down command-R and it should start in recovery mode over the internet if necessary. You can reinstall the system from there. If you had Mountain Lion, I would assume that Mountain Lion would be the system you would get reinstalling that way.

Do I have to change my flash player when I install Firefox

I am thinking about changing my Internet Browser (IE) and I want to ask do i have to change the version of my flash player and other features because I usually download them on IE. For Example some programs have different kind of Mirror Links and they are usually seperated by which Internet Broswer people have. I'm just wondering if this is a yes because I previously downloaded Firefox and I tried to play flash games and videos and they don't seem to work and alot of my programs don't work.

There are two different versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE and the Plugin version for Firefox and many other browsers, like Chrome, Opera, & Safari. You will need to install the Plugin version of you want Flash available for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). 
See this:

WHY DO I NEED TO CHANGE DATA PLAN IN ORDER TO GET A NEW PHONE?

WHY DO I NEED TO CHANGE PLAN IN ORDER TO GET A NEW PHONE FOR A CHEAPER PRICE ?

You do not like the answer that is different then you being wrong. Everyone can think things about anything, but it is a black and white issue. To get a new cheaper phone, then you would have to change your plan.
