  • What happens after you pay off your edge device

    What **… I thought vz had come back to earth… but apparently after you pay off your device (or if you just buy it outright), they charge you the subsidy portion of the line charge again.  That makes no sense whatsoever….  they charge you the same amount, whether they subsidize a phone for you or not.  That makes no sense.  People, stop paying it!!!

    none of the other carriers do this anymore…  we all understand subsidies (well apparently not)…  if you go to any of the other carriers, and you do not buy a phone on contract, your service is less expensive because they don't need to recoup the money they "lost" on the phone.  But Verizon continues to charge you regardless… 
    If you go to ATT, you can get 10gb (yes 10), 2 smartphones off contract, 130/mo.  You can even use their version of EDGE and still pay that same amount (plus your device payment)… and guess what, when your done paying for your phone, they don't increase your service charge.  If you do the same on VZ, your bill will also be 130, but when you pay off your phone, they jack your bill up to 180….
    I think if VZ just came out and said "Look, we are the best, so we charge more.  Period."  I'd respect that…

  • What happens exactly when you turn off your Wi-Fi?

    I was wondering, for the sake of knowing it, what exactly happens when you turn off the Wi-Fi of a Mac? I normally turn it off before putting it to sleep, because there have been some ocassions where after waking up, the Wi-Fi is on but not working. So I was thinking, what exactly happens with the radio when the computer goes to sleep or it's turned off.
    * Is it bad to turn off "hard" your Wi-Fi?
    * Is it bad to keep turning on and off the Wi-Fi?
    I think that it may have to be something about a Wi-Fi service, but I simply don't know nor found any answer on the Internet.
    Thanks in advance.
    Mac Mini, 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
    OS X 10.10.3

    When your Mac goes to sleep, the wifi is automatically turned off. When you wake the Mac up, your wifi will turn back on and hopefully will reconnect a short time later.
    The purpose of Sleep is to save on energy, so wifi will be shutdown, as it is a significant energy drain.

  • What happens if I turn off airplane mode while I am in a foreign country?

    What happens if I turn off airplane mode briefly while in a foreign country? I need to delete video voice mails to get that red dot off and hopefully get my FaceTime to work again.

    To delete visual voicemails requires data or internet access via a carrier's cellular network. Visual voicemail access with the iPhone is not done via wi-fi. It is done via the cellular data or internet network only.
    Turning Airplane mode off will not turn wi-fi off.

  • When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly.  The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up

    When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly.  The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up during start-up and stays there for ten minutes.  Then, the ipad will start up properly.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT1430 How do you turn off your phone if the sleep/wake button doesn't work anymore?

    How do you turn off your phone if your sleep/wake button doesn't work anymore?

    If a reset doesnt fix it (which it wont - that is likely a hardware issue), then get warranty service.

  • What happens when you AirDrop from Mac to iPhone and click Cancel?

    I have a Late 2013 27" iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10 and an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2.
    I can take a PDF on my iMac, drag it to my iPhone in the AirDrop section of Finder, and it transfer to my iPhone just fine.  Once it's finished transferring, a popup shows on my iPhone asking me what app I want to open the PDF in, which is great.  At the bottom of that popup is a "Cancel" option.  My question is, what happens when you tap "Cancel" instead of one of the apps?  Is the file still somewhere on the iPhone?  Or does it get deleted?

    Connecting to a new computer or iTunes will always erase the device first. Back up manually before by right clicking on the iPod in the device list and choosing "backup". A manual backup does not include the sync process. You can use this backup to restore from after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
    Transfer your purchases the same way and make sure to have at least one contact and event listed on your Mac, to be able to merge data.
    See also iTunes: About iOS backups to get more info about the content of a backup, and How to back up your data and set up as a new device , if you want to know more about saving info from the iPod before setting it up in iTunes.

  • WHAT IF YOU TURN OFF YOUR BLUETOOTH ACCIDENTLY ON THE IMAC?,

    HELP!  I was following a help and support task when I accidently switched off my Bloothtooth on my IMAC. Now of course I haven't got a working mouse or keypad to switch it back on. Apple Inc. want £35 to tell me how to do this, I'd imagine remotely...can anyone advise please.....?

    Now of course I haven't got a working mouse or keypad to switch it back on.
    Turn it on with the power button, in back, or in front, depending on your particular model iMac. The Mac should recognize no devices are detected, and turn on Bluetooth for you. At least that's what newer ones do. If yours really is a PowerPC iMac, you may require a USB mouse or keyboard.

  • Now You Have iPhone 4, What are You Doing w/ Your Old iPhone?

    It basically becomes and iPod Touch if you disable the network and enable the wireless. Have any charities mentioned that they will take old iPhones?

    Originally I put it up for $400 auction and $500 BuyIt because there were hundreds of other iPhones ranging from $300 to $900. After 20 minutes I changed the auction and dropped it down to $300 and $400 BuyIt with $15 shipping. Presto! It sold!
    When I moved to the 3GS I put my 3G up the day before delivery of the 3GS and WHAM, it sold in less than 1 minute. And I made money off the deal! Now eBay is glutted with iPhones and all my friends want me to sell theirs and make them some money. I tell them it is too late now, eBay is flooded and it is a buyer's market. You have to jump when there is sure to be a want/need. I sold mine to a Chinese lady in Texas and it looks as though she was buying them up quick and fast. When I checked her feedback she had purchased several iPhones. Probably sending them back to China (where they were made!). How funny!
