What kind of company locks out its customers?

This forced upgrade crap is very microsoftish. Were you people ever going to notify your existing customers that they wouldn't be able to access the music store with an older version or just let everybody go postal?

William. If it works for you, and you are OK with the lack of Music Store access, then I guess you've found your solution. Should you desire to make the move at a later date, then do remember that there is actually a fairly small number of folks who have experienced issues (it's just they are all in one place. Namely, here). Asking for some advice on your computer's setup will help you see if there are any known issues.
I successfully ran iTunes on my Athlon XP computer (homebrewed, so I should have been more open to problems) fom November 2003 until now. I also have access to about 12 other computers of various configurations that are all running iTunes without a hitch. I am more than happy to try to find any issues with your particular setup. Again, that's your choice. If you're interested, just ask, there are plenty of folks that would be willing to sit down with you and see what might be at odds.

What is AT&T doing for its customers regarding the so-called Android Hack?

What is AT&T doing for its customers regarding the so-called Android Hack? I understand this hack was discovered back in April and we're just getting news reports about it now. Wow, so much for protecting your customers, right? When will a fix/resolution be deployed?

Bump! Would like to know Too!

What kind of company is this? Disrespectful of customers!!!!! CHEAP!

I got a Zen xtra about 7 or 8 months ago. I couple days ago I finished using it and plugged it into its charger. About an hour ago I went to use it again and it wouldn't turn on. I took out the battery and replaced it, and still nothing. So I went and pluged it into the wall. It turned on, but the icon in the corner just displayed a plug, little battery. I take that to mean that Creative is too cheap to do any product testing or quality control. What the F*ck?! I use my Xtra in the car when I go to work, and I plug it back in every night. I have never dropped it. There is NO reason why this should have happened! I see from some other post that other people have this problemn as well! Apparently there is no recourse other then me spending more money and doing without my mp3 player for an extended period of time. Is Creative doing anything about this for people who are out of their 90 days or whatever absurdly short period it is? Let me guess. And what's with only being open for technical support Monday through Friday?! Everyone who is having this problem deserves to have the problem fixed FOR FREE!!! I bought this product thinking that Creative had standards, apparently they don't!

And yes I tried disk clean up and flipping the power supply on and off. This battery was never left uncharged for more than a few hours!
What kind of why is this to treat customers?! The d@mn thing didn't even work for a year!

In all fairness one product going wrong doesn't equate to poor quality control.
I see from some other post that other people have this problemn as well!
Well you are on a support board, Creative sell millions of players, so like any electronics device unfortunately a small percentage go wrong. This is the nature of commercial electronics unfortunately.
Is Creative doing anything about this for people who are out of their 90 days or whatever absurdly short period it is?
Warranty is partly depedent on the laws of your country. In the EU for example there is legislation to ensure that all electronics must have a minimum warranty of year. Of course in the USA you pay less for these kinds of goods.
I'm fairly sure the Xtra had a warranty of 3 months parts and labour, and 9 months parts only. This might mean you only have to pay an administrati've fee to have it fixed, but double check with support to be sure. Links for contacting support are in the FAQ post.
And what's with only being open for technical support Monday through Friday?!
I agree it's a bit of a pain, but of course Creative are trying to save expense like a lot of other companies.
Everyone who is having this problem deserves to have the problem fixed FOR FREE!!! I bought this product thinking that Creative had standards, apparently they don't!
Unfortunately the warranty had terms and was available for you to see when you bought it. I appreciate it's awful when a device goes wrong, but them's the breaks unfortunately. I hope you can contact support on Monday and get it solved for minimum cost.

DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FOR THIS COMPANY TO HELP ITS CUSTOMERS

I SPENT A TOTAL OF $600 ON TWO IPODS, MY FIRST PURCHASES FROM THIS COMPANY ONLY FOR ITUNES NOT TO WORK, WHAT KINDA COMPANY IS THIS THAT FORCES PEOPLE TO UPGRADE SOFTWARE AND ONLY ALLOWS DOWNLOADs FROM ONE PROGRAM ????
I'VE BEEN TURNED OFF THIS COMPANY FOR LIFE, I'LL STILL TRY TO GET MY IPODS TO WORK, BUT I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FURTHER FROM THIS COMPANY AND WILL BADMOUTH IT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

I'd rather they let us use some other application than bundling itunes with iPod and forcing us to use it ? You do realize that these very expensive ipods are essentially useless if iTunes doesn't work, I'm no fan of walking around with an ipod without any songs in it.
Where is the customer service ?, what's a number we can call that is open later than 6 pm to address some of these issues ?? an email address ?? If you can't produce a competent software, put a warning sign, saying that this product might not work with Windows, what kinda company leaves it customer base hanging like this with no place to turn ?? I shouldn't have to take Software 101 to make an Mp3 player work.

I have an ipod that i share with my daughter she put in a password and has forgotten what and is currently locked out of the ipod. How do we bipass this to create a new one or delete it all together without losing anything currently installed?

I have an ipod that i share with my daughter she put in a password and now cannot remember it an is locked out. How can we delete the currently existing useless password and not lose any of the information on the ipod?

If you cannot remember the passcode for the Screen Lock, you will need to Restore the device...
1) Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...

Demos scenarios and config based on what kind of company?

We are still trying to make a case for buying the Discovery Server. My management has come back to me with a question.
What kind of industry are the demos that are included with the Discovery server based on?
example - Finance and Public Service( banking; healthcare; insurance ...); Manufacturing ( Consumer Products; chemical ...) or Service (Media; Professional; retail...)

Hi Teresa,
the examples on the Discovery System v2 are keep quite generic on purpose. It was the intention to offer content that has some sort of cross-industry relevance. Thus the Service-Enabled Procurement Scenario could be relevant for any industry that needs to do some purchases.
And there are a number of composites that are targeted for end-users specifically, that try to improve their 'every day life' (SAP xApp Analytics and SAP xApps for Personal Productivity).
Hope that helps,

Turned on Voice Over Now locked out

Hi,
After updated the ios7.0.2 I was on line reading all the new things you could do with the new upgrades. One being Voice Over. Thinking it meant and by reading the article I could talk to text. I believe it was in the Accessability screen. So I turned on Voice Over. l adusted the speed of the voice then went to Messages and clicked on to text my husband to try it out. Once I got there I didn't see a micrphone so I thought maybe I need to go back and hit an apply button. Went back, no apply so I went back to messages and the whole time I'm touching things the Voice is talking. Now I realize it's not to talk to text but just to say everything you touch. UGH!! So I go back to unclick the Voice Over but need to go back on more page to the Accessability but it will not let me. It does not allow me to get out of Voice Over so the phone keeps talking. Then it froze and locked me out!!! I can not unlock my phone now, I have hard booted it down but that has not helped. I am a novice and thought whoo-hoo I can talk and text now!! Not so. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you so very much.
iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.2

Not clear what you mean by "locked out." Also "hard boot" isn't an iPhone procedure - did you reset the phone (pressing both home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears)?

Cm security lock out

how can I get out of cm security lock out

By what method are you locked out? PIN, pattern, password or via the online locking page? Cheap Chinese-made ad ware like all CM products do the opposite of their advertised function. Ad ware and push ads are a huge issue with that "suite" of software, from CM Security, app lock, clean master cache cleaner, cloud services, etc... Each one does one thing well and is mediocre at the reset. It is a bloated mess of unnecessary software. Contact Us - Cheetah Mobile

What kind of a program did HP company use to compress its Software?

Hi,
I have noticed that some Most HP software can be downloaded as standalone programs which are compressed files (like what is in this screen shot below) which will need to be extracted before being installed?
Thus, I am wondering what kind of Data compression do those files have? I didn't see that WinRAR, WinZip or other achieving programs recognised such files.
When I open compressed file above, then it was extracted into a folder called 'swsetup' in this path C:\swsetup
My question is What kind of program did HP company use to compress those files?

I believe it may be a .tar file. I am able to extract the files in the SP file in Linux using good old tar gunzip into its various components. It is turned into a self-extractor which runs as a DOS executable.
Thanks a lot,
I am using a Windows 7 Home premium 64Bit, I have built-in Winzip with Windows 7. Also, I have a WinRar a third-party archiving program be installed on my windows. But neither of them recognised the HP compressed files, or otherwise the look of HP compressed file would look like 'WinRaR' icon.
Yes, when I clicked on that File name(softpaq): sp68201-V(7.4.45.4), I saw that file was extracted into a folder called 'swsetup' under this path C:\swsetup', Then the setup showed to me. However, I still don't know what program extracted that compressed HP file? Could you kindly enlighten me?

I was told to create a password for my itunes backup, which i did. Now its telling me my passwords is incorrect. I dont know what to do because i am locked out of my phone and don't remember its password.

I forgot the password to unlock my phone. I read online to go to itunes and create an encrypted password for my backup and then sync my phone and then restore it. But now, when i try to enter my passcode into itunes to backup, it tells me it is incorrect. I don't know what to do.. I am locked out of my phone and my itunes backup. please help me

The backup encryption passcode has nothing to do with locking a user out of their backup.
If the encryption passcode has been forgotten, nothing can be done. There is no reset for the encryption passcode.
Delete the backup and create a new one.

My iphone 5s was dead for 2 weeks then i turned it back on and it says its locked out for 22 million hours I have tried restoring it 5 times and it just goes back to the same page what do you suggest I do

Iphone locked out for 22 million hours and restoring doesnt work what do I do

@soccercole1
You need to restore you iPhone via iTunes on your computer. If you do not remember your passcode you have to place the iPhone in recovery mode in order to restore it. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

What kinds of cpu can you put in a 2007 modal imac to bring it to its maxwhat

What kinds of cpu can you put in a 2007 modal imac to bring it to its max
Thanks

While it CAN be done I don't know if you'll see enough bang for your buck to make it worthwhile. IMO you'll get a better return by installing an SSD and maxing out the ram. That said I don't have any idea which cpu you could swap for.

What kind of hard drive is in the hp pavillion dv6700. its about 7 years old

its running vista, but the computer will not boot all the way. I did a diagnosis test and it said to replace the disk drive so im just wondering what kind of hard drive is in it. What happens is the computer loads to the the microsoft , right before you would put ur password in, and then just stays black.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Piece of cake on your model.
If the test indicates the drive needs to be replaced, I wouldn't argue against that info.
You can try reinstalling the OS before buying a new HDD but if it doesn't work, then you know the drive is kaput.
Below is the link to the service manual.
R & R procedures are in chapter 4.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01295877.pdf
You will also need to reinstall the operating system. You can see if recovery disks are available by contacting HP technical support.
If you can read the 25 character MS Vista product key on the bottom of your PC, you can make your own Vista installation disk and use that to install the OS.
If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
I selected No, make the ISO file.
It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-microsoft-windows-v....
After you successfully install Vista, you can then install the drivers from your PC's support and driver page.
This is where I buy my PC hardware:
Top of the line 250 GB 7,200 RPM drive:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136279
A standard 250 GB 5,400 RPM drive of good quality.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236238
You need to transfer the caddy, screws and connector from the old HDD to the new one, so don't toss anything out until the job is done.
