What on earth is this new $30 upgrade fee?

Talk about being nickel and dimed to death! They get us to sign up for 2 more years in exchange for the lower price on the phones. How on earth can they justify charging $30 for the "privilege"?  Shameful!

You are free to do as you wish. You asked a question. I answered.
I am a smart shopper and that is why I won't buy a used device from some random stranger on ebay. I will buy it from VZW or Best Buy where I know I will get a warranty against defects. You won't get a newer iPhone or Galaxy device for less than the price of a brand new subsidized once INCLUDING the $30 upgrade fee.

VZW had had Technicians in their stores prior to September of 2012. These employees provided 15 minute 1 on 1 sessions to learn the basics of your new phone. VZW started their workshops around August of 2012, 4 months after the upgrade fee was introduced. These workshops are attended by large numbers of groups.
I also said that VZW is a for-profit organization but so is AT&T and Sprint and T-Mobile. They will all do what they need to to make money. Looks like VZW has found a way to maximize the services they provide to us while paying little out of pocket to do so while still charging us a fair price to obtain those service. That's what making a profit is.
Sprint's customers are saying the same things you are:
Sprint Community: Device Upgrade Fee
Oh, look at that...so are AT&T's customers
Charged for UPGRADE? - AT&T Community Support
So where did you get the information that not every carrier is charging it. Only T-Mobile doesn't charge the upgrade fee and that is because they don't do contracts. They force you to buy the phone at full retail but they charge you a fee for being on the Jump program of $10 a month. http://www.t-mobile.com/phone-upgrade.html
This does include insurance of $8 (they're forcing you to take it). That means $2 a month goes to be on their no contract. That's $36 per year. More than the $30 VZW want you to pay to take their 2 year contract or $15 a year.
So I would say no, you haven't educated yourself and are obviously not aware that there are fees for almost everything. Oh wait. Except VZW Edge. No fee for program like T-Mobile and, like I said, you may qualify for incentives with VZW for being an Edge customer.

  • "Premiere PRo has encountered an error" What on earth is this.

    I made an edit and it gave me this and forced me to shut down.
    I restarted and tried again same thing.
    What is this?

    Sucks, don't it?  It's a not helpful error message.
    Sadly, rebooting your Mac often is required to get work done in Pr these days.  You could also try deleting your prefs, and searching for and quarantining corrupt media.
    I believe corrupt media or corrupt projects are the major source of crashes on the Mac side.
    And since you're on a Mac, run Disk Warrior and Repair Permissions after all OS upgrades and software installs.
    And when you're editing, set your Auto-Save frequency to a short interval, and increase the number of saved projects to 100 or so (I have mine set to 1000.), OR Increment and Save As often.  This might save you from losing entire projects to project file corruption, as has happened to me.  I have a thread similar to yours now because Pr won't open projects that have been corrupted.  I learned about multiple versions the hard way.

  • What's up with this new iMac

    Aloha all, I just purchased a new iMac with the following - 27" 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5,with 8 GB ram, running OS 10.6.7. After using an G5 PPC for 7 years, I thought it a good time to upgrade.
    My inquiry is page-ins, page-outs, & swap. I keep getting a large amounts of page-outs, & swap being used, especially when using Photoshop, & Photoshop Elements, but not limited to those programs. After what I think would just be normal usage, the same thing happens. Using my old G5 PPC for the same tasks I can't remember so many. I end up using Activity Monitor to check this now, pretty much daily, and they are always showing up. If anyone has any ideas or thoughts about why this is happening I'd really like to hear them. More importantly I'd like to know if there is a way to reduce them, or if should just ignore them.
    Also this new machine doesn't seem much faster than my 7 year old PPC. Should I be concerned?  In the years I have been posting here I have always gotten good advice, so I'm looking forward to seeing the answers to my queries. Thanks for any time, tips, suggestions.        JB

    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
    Memory Management in Mac OS X
    Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
    A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
    Understanding top output in the Terminal
    The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

  • Do I have this new ATT upgrade policy right?

    From what I just read on their site today, IF you qualify for an upgrade this July, August, or September, you can get the iPhone 3G S now for the $199/$299 pricing, but otherwise the cost is $399/$499 plus a 2 year contract extension AND an $18 upgrade fee (LOL?!?), only IF you have spent enough monthly ($99+) on your ATT bill for them to consider offering you the $399/$499 upgrade price. . OR you can choose to buy the phone at full price w/o no contract extension for $599+. According to my ATT Wireless account info, I do not qualify for upgrade until June 25, 2010!
    Wow.

    This is an email I received from Apple today:
    To Our Valued Apple Customer:
    On June 17, AT&T announced a change to their upgrade eligibility policy
    and ‘best upgrade pricing’ for qualifying iPhone 3G owners.
    Based on AT&T’s updated qualification criteria, we are pleased to inform
    you that you are eligible to receive a refund on your recent
    iPhone 3G S purchase.
    Your Order Acknowledgment and Shipment Notification emails will reflect
    the original purchase price. However, Apple will issue you a refund in
    the amount of $200.00, which is the difference between your original
    purchase price and the new qualifying price.
    Apple will process your refund in the next 5 days, and will send you an
    email when this has been completed. We will process your refund based
    on your original payment method. See below for details.
    No additional action is needed on your part for you to receive the
    refund. These activities will not impact your estimated delivery dates.
    You can view the most up-to-date status of your order, including
    monitoring the details of your refund, at online Order Status

  • What is going with this new software update, ios 6.1?

    When I update to the new software for my iphone 5 and ipad, everything went well but I lost all my contacts on my home (important numbers). Then I went to the App Store when I get a free app and sign in with the new password, it said "could not sign in." I reset my new password then try same process again. Then the same message pop-ups again. Even rebooting the system again. THIS NEW UPDATE IS GIVING US A LOT OF PROBLEMS!!!! Now I could not get any free apps for school.

    Sign out of the store first, then sign in again.

  • What's up with this new iMovie?

    I have been trying to use the new iMovie for the first time and am finding it very user UNFRIENDLY!  You can't edit the tex size/color in many titles, you can't slow down title frames, and many more things that have been causing me grief.  The Help section with the program is almost useless and certainly not up to the quality I expect from Apple prodcucts.  I know the product was free but it doesn't seem to be any better than iMovie 11 that I was using before and now don't have.  The tutorial for iMovie 11 was excellent and walked you through all of the editing and enhancing capabilities in the program.  Apple needs to get a tutorial out or I will have to go back to iMovie 11!

    Have you looked at the online help:

    The old version is still available on your computer in the Applications folder, inside a folder called iMovie 9.0.9

    After using Logic 9 on my G5 for a few days now, I'm starting to wander whether it's up to the task. Despite my initial thoughts, I think it is running slower and the CPU is definitely higher. Still, I can't explain this though. A little worrying.

    Well aside from the processor icon you also have one for ATI. You didn't happen to have have followed this thread by any chance?

  • What is up with this New "itunes plus"

    Do I have to pay $1.29 for one darn song!

    ITunes 12 is a complete disaster. I can no longer manage podcasts in playlists. There was a time I could control everything with a couple of smart playlists but they are all rendered useless now. Even worse, I cannot manually remove podcasts from a simple playlist. The options available in the "Show" drop-down menu are next to useless as well. My doubts about the value of the iCloud increase every day.
    I wish iTunes will go back to the way it was circa version 10.

    This is a kernel panic, which indicates something is wrong inside your Mac (probably bad RAM). Read this document for steps to troubleshoot a kernel panic: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

  • I thought as a consumer, Apple works for us.  Had I known what I'd lose by upgrading, I would have thought twice!!!  I want Front Row BACK!!! also what is this new playlist that was auto added when I upgraded?  It's called iTunes  Artwork screen?

    Think the iTunes artwork playlist is for a new screensave they put in where if you click the album artwork it plays the song.

  • What on earth is CoreFP and the CoreFP.framework?  This is new in iTunes 8?

    I've never seen a CoreFP package on any of my Macs before iTunes 8.1... Now it installs something called CoreFP. What is this new framework installed? Anybody know?

    I believe that would be the CoreF(air)P(lay) that was added to iTunes.

  • IS THERE A WAY TO DELETE A PURCHASE FROM IBOOKS FROM THE LIBRARY AND ICLOUD, OR AT LEAST A WAY TO HIDE WHAT YOU'VE PURCHASED IN THIS NEW APP?

    Dear Apple, my name is Jack, and I recently upgraded my computer to the new OSX 10.9, which included among many other apps the iBooks one, in this new iBooks app for Mac I accidentally downloaded by mistake a sort of obscene japanese comic book, since the moment that this happened I've been trying to remove this content from my iBooks library, which is being impossible due to the fact that even if a successfully delete the book with the backspace key it still appears but with an iCloud symbol, and if I go to my iCloud settings theres no options to stop iBooks form sharing this on iCloud for there is no "iBooks" option on iCloud settings, I even followed a Tutorial on the apple web page about hiding your purchases that explains how to, but in this new version of iTunes there is no such option as "connect" under the Store menu of iTunes, or even if I make my way to my iTunes purchases this new iBook purchases does not appear. I just want to be able to open my new iBooks app without having to see this obscene japanese comic book all over the app. My request is for you people to add an option to completely remove books from the library and from iCloud, please, so far these new OSX was amazing and this is the very first time I have something to complain about.

    Well as a matter of fact, I already found the solution. The option is a little bit hidden, and this will remove your purchases completely from the library and iCloud. What you have to do is this: 1.- Open iBooks app, and the first thing you will get it's your library, then at the top left corner of the window click on iBooks Store. Once iBooks store is open you will have four options at the top: "Featured", "Top Charts", "Categories" and "Top Authors", you have to click on "Featured" or "Categories" it's the same but you have to be on any of those two.
    2.- Once you are in "Featured" or "Categories" at the right side of the window there's going to be your email address that you use as your apple id, and in "Categories"  you will see at the right side the topic "All Categories"  and bellow that you will see your email address again. Doesn't matter if you are on categories or featured the option bellow your apple id is going to be QUICK LINKS, and bellow that there's gonna be four options: Account. Purchased, Redeem and Support. Click on Purchased.
    3.-Once you clicked on purchased and the Purchased window is open you will see in the middle of the window two options : "All" and "Not in my Library", click on "All", then you will have all your purchases, there you will only have to put the cursor on the book you want to completely delete, but without clicking on it, just putting the cursor in the book and a black cross will appear at the top left corner of the book, click on the cross, if it ask you are sure you want to hide or delete the content just click the affirmative option.
    4.- In the top left corner click library again, once in your library you have to find the options that are at the very top of your screen, the ones that are in the same bar as your computer name, date and time, volume and in the case of macbooks the wifi signal and the battery. Those options are: iBooks, File, Edit, View, Go, Store, Window and Help. Click on "View" , when you get all the options of "View" you'll have to find the one that says "Show Purchases in iCloud" and most likely would have a check mark, if it does not have a check mark close it and skip to step 5, if it does have a check mark just click on this option so the check mark disappears.
    5.- Last step. Now you just have to close the app, completely, so go to your dock and give a secondary click on iBooks app and on the secondary click options click Quit. Just open iBooks again and there will be there no more.
    Hope this is of some help to any of you, and sorry if this was tricky or if I'm not very good at explaining. I figured this by myself so if any of you does not get this explanation just send me an email, I'll be happy to help you with it.
