Why can't verizon tell us a simple date?

I am getting extremely frustrated because Verizon says on the phones that the iPhone 6 plus is on back-order until 10/31 for the 128gb for Silver. I don't understand why they didn't have these on hand so people could get them. I would like it as soon as possible. It is ALOT of money for a phone to have to wait a month or so. Could someone in Verizon's company let us know when they will be shipping?
Thanks!
Kayla.

You did see the news reports that Apple cannot keep up to demand for the iPhone 6 Plus and that deliveries are not matching requests. It is indicated the demand is so high, that Apple is delaying the new larger iPad and shifting work that would have been on on that to the 6 Plus. I suspect Verizon doesn't give exact dates since they can't guarantee they will get as many phones as they are requesting.

Why can't verizon tell the truth and fix my DSL for over a week

On the 10th of January, I contacted Verizon Tech to let them know I had no DSL (the phone had previously been out, but I had had DSL). They told me to wait an hour and restart the modem. I did that to no avail. I continued contacting them and they kept telling me there was an outage or the problem was my modem or such. I tried to tell them that whatever repair they made, disconnected my DSL. They sent a new modem, they sent a technician on Thursday -- still nothing -- called and was told they were replacing the PSA and it would be up by Saturday -- called Saturday, was told the replacement part did not function and they had a new part which would fix it by Monday. Called Sunday, was told problem was fixed on Saturday (but I still had no internet) Then they said, it was being investigated by a team in the Central office and it should be on by tomorrow -- specifically checking circuit to Central Office. Still today, no Internet (as I predicted would happen -- it's a holiday and I cannot get answers) and when I called, they want to send another Techinician TOMORROW to investigate. It has been 4 days since the last Tech came, it was 4 days from the date I initially called before they sent a Tech -- now they want to send a DSL tech rather than a "phone tech".
I truly believe they are trying to get me off of DSL since they don't want people on it (you cannot get back on it once off) because they want everyone to be on their EXPENSIVE FIOS system that costs over $50 a month versus my little $39 a month. Of course, then they'll want me to get phone and TV to "bundle" and save $ -- which means my phone doesn't work during power outages after a few hours.
How do you get to speak to someone in authority over service rather than people who are going by a book that says, "check to make sure the modem is plugged in" as though it is your first time using the system you have been on since 2005? Why is the corporate office of Verizon hiding? Where are the Vice Presidents and Manager to take charge and get things done -- out spending their HUGE Bonuses?

I feel your pain. I had a technician come out twice, my moden replaced 3 times, and now my monthly cost has gone up but my internet speeds are not much improved.

Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Why can't Verizon answer when the G3 will get the Lolipop update?

When I had my Nokia Icon, I had to wait months and month and months to get the official 8.1 non-buggy official update. I asked Verizon monthly when I would get this update to have the same experience all their customers with OLDER phones were having. They NEVER had an answer. I cannot explain how ****** off I was because the sales rep that sold it to me explained it would be one of the first phones to get 8.1. Now, I have left the WP environment because of the sour experience, and I see that I have a phone again that is out of date. I understand it was just released, so it's different. Why can't Verizon step up to the plate and answer? Why cant they man it up to make the transition faster? Feels like the pretty just ignore everyone and tell them to **** off since we already give them money.

@CitizenDigital, the answer can probably boil down to this. There is a team of people that have to review this update when it arrives at the corporate office. Once the "paperwork" has been reviewed, the files need to be reviewed, then the update needs to be tested, then an entire rollout plan needs to be put in place. The people in charge of officially releasing the update to the public are probably waiting on the group of technical engineers to give the thumbs up by some email or morning meeting. Until they do, "Verizon" wont know when the update will be ready. All they hear from the tech boys is Hold On, We're testing. I work in a similar industry so I see how the ball rolls in situations like this.

Why can't I tell Siri "No" to stop dialing a wrong number? It's embarrassing to keep telling the same people over and over that I mistakenly dialed their number. Even if I yell "stop" or "no" it keeps dialing. Very frustrating.

Why can't I tell Siri "No" to stop dialing a wrong number? It's embarrassing to keep telling the same people over and over that I mistakenly dialed their number. Even if I yell "stop" or "no" it keeps dialing. Very frustrating. Even very simple names. And I talk on the phone for a living. Which is why I need to use Siri to save me time. I speak very clearly. Because of this problem, I've had to even add special code letters before people's names to increase the chances of Siri getting it right, which is only about 70% of the time.

That is not a feature of Siri. Submit your feedback requesting such a feature directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

Note that yelling at the phone does not improve the chances that Siri will understand you.

Why Can't Verizon Come out to Help Me?

I've had FiOS TV for quite some time. When the technician came he quickly ran to the door when I asked him to help me program my DVD player and told me it was not compatible and not his priority.
Now (almost 3 years later not being able to use my DVD player), I bought a new BLu-Ray and cannot for the life of me figure out how to hook it up.
I AM WILLING TO PAY FOR VERIZON FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO COME OUT AND HOOK IT UP FOR ME and they refuse and continue to say it is not their responsibiity.
I don't have any friends who know how to do it and it's going on 3 years + that I've had to use my laptop to watch a DVD.
Why can't Verizon come out if I pay and hook it up for me????

Why can't Adobe do something as simple as giving us a desktop shortcut? Or even better allow us to access direct from print option as we could do if we had the software installed?

Now that I know you are talking about Cloud (not the focus of this forum -- a forum on Acrobat that does provide the icons and the reason for wondering what you were talking about). The Creative Cloud that I have does include the icons on the desktop. However, I am not familiar with the cloud service other than CC. If it is some other product, then exactly what is the product name. As far as CC, I get the icons on my desktop, so I am not sure what your problem might be.
If you did not like the tone, I am sorry, But I honestly had no clue what you were talking about because you only said that Adobe icons were not coming up. You provided no information on the product or operating system that are fundamental to providing help. Adobe (the company name) has about 150 forums dealing with different products probably numbering close to 100. So saying no Adobe icons was meaningless to me and thus the question. I was trying to get information to help you. If you took it as an insult, I am sorry.

Why can't anyone tell me how to remove all those little "!" in the left column all at once or at least sort them so I can mark them and then delete them?

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.
If, on the otherhand, you've been cleaning up your media from Explorer rather than iTunes and just want to eliminate the now broken links, use Tunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on startup.

Why can't Flash Video be as simple as QT?

After weeks of unsuccessfully trying to convert my
QuickTime/Windows Media-based video gallery to a working Flash
gallery, I finally gave up and returned to the
old-school-yet-tried-and-true QT/WMV.
But I'm still curious - QT & WMV are able to use a single
file (.mov or .wmv) while Flash requires the file AND a player
(Somehow my track record of getting the swf to play the flv was
sketchy). One of the perks of Flash, as I understood it, was that
the majority of browsers are able to play Flash movies. But it's
not quite as simple. Being required to upload the swf in order to
play the flv seems to be like imbedding a QT plug-in to play the
.mov. Why can't Flash Video be as simple as simply downloading the
flv just as playing a Quicktime Movie is as simple as downloading
the mov (as long as the user has the correct plug-in)?

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

Why won't verizon sell me an international data plan for my new iPad?

Why won't verizon sell me an international data plan for my new iPad?

Thanks for your response Meg. Verizon is definitely not customer friendly. I do have the monthly prepaid domestic data service that I subscribed to from my iPad when I bought it a few months ago. They didn't advise me of any other available plans at the time. You are correct that they are now saying that in order to get an international plan I need to cancel my current monthly plan through one Verizon department (and abandon any remaining data mb) and then subscribe to a contract plan (handled by a different verizon department). But here's the catch: in order to get international service I need to be a contract customer for six months (which doesn't help me as I am going to Europe next week). Of course, if I had bought an ATT iPad I wouldn't be shut out like this since their monthly international plans are readily available through the iPad at any time. I feel that Apple and Verizon should not have touted the new Verizon iPad as comparable to ATT's internationally (which they did) without fully disclosing the hoops one has to jump through.

1.why can't apple user share or take data from Andriod?

I was able to easily move all my data from my Android phone to my iPhone when I switched. But, that could be, because, instead of complaining, I actually asked questions that made sense, listened to the answers, did some reading and figured it out.

Why can't Verizon and Asurion use common sense!

I have had Verizon for years. I have had insurance for years. Luckily I never had to use it, until today! I had a beautiful red Windows 8 HTC 8x. Well I dropped it and the screen smashed, ugh! Anyway, I was like no problem I have insurance! Well it is a problem! Seriously Verizon get a clue on how to do things in a simple manner! I called Verizon they were very nice (Enterprise, AL store), but told me I had to go through the insurance company. Ok, all good until I called Asurion! Not helpful at all! 1st off they don't have my color, ok not happy but I can live with it, then the 1st girl lied to me, she said they could have a black phone overnighted to me and I would get it tomorrow, I said well I am not happy but fine, hang up (she put in her notes that the call was lost, yeah right) anyway I called back. Spoke with Tabitha and she told me they actually didn't have my phone in stock and that it would be 5 to 7 business days before I could get one! What!!!!!!! Really not happy now! She said well, since we don't have it in stock we can offer you a comparable phone, I said ok, what about the Nokia 928, she said we don't have that in stock either, but we have the Samsung Odyssey, my husband said NO it was junk. I asked them why I couldn't go to the store and get a new phone? That seems like the simple thing to do, they had them in stock they even had blue? That is not how they work! Seriously, that is the simple solution! I pay Verizon every month for my insurance, why shouldn't I be able to go get a new phone, I would have my new phone today! Asurion told me I could go to the store and pay full price for my phone and then they would reimburse me, they said after I filled out the paperwork, mailed my phone back to them, they verified all my information was correct they would mail me a check. If I had full price I would just go buy the Nokia 928, but the reason I sign up for contracts is that I get a discounted price on the flipping phone! Why couldn't I just take my broken phone to Verizon, they have all my information, get a new phone and Asurion pay Verizon for my phone. I take my car to a shop and file on my insurance and the insurance company pays the company not me, so why can't Asurion do that?

HT4413 Why can't I find the files and data I transferred from time machine on my new mac?

So I just got a new mac and I always backed up my old mac. I used the migration assistant to transferr all the stuff from my old mac to the new one. After it completed I tried to find all my pictures, music, and documents but couldn't. Where did all my stuff go and why can't I find it? Migration Assistant said everything transferred and went ok.

Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider starting over. I'm a firm believer in only using the Setup Assistant and not creating a new account on first boot.

All I want to do is upgrade two phones ... WHY IS THIS SO HARD? And, WHY CAN'T VERIZON DO THIS???!!!

In the past month, I've spoken to dozens of Verizon reps on the phone, been disconnected a few times, been at 4 different stores, been told several different things by EVERYONE, been told "oh sure, we can do that" only to be told by someone else "no we can't" ... how can you run a business like this??!!!
I AM SO FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW I COULD SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First, it was because our account was listed as a monthly paid cash account,
then, it was because we were trying to get phones at a franchise store,
then, it was because our account was set up as a business account (according to the Verizon rep I met at Wal-Mart, even though the Vz reps on the phone tell me it's listed as a personal account AND I sign onto our account as a personal account)
then, we were told to order our upgrades on over the phone (but then we were told we would have to pay for the phones and wait for a debit card rebate to be mailed to us, which my husband does not want to do)
then, we were told to order the upgrade phones online, but every time I try I get a processing error,
then, the computer tells us to call a specific phone number if we believe the error was not right,
then, the phone recording message repeats itself through multiple options TWICE and then hangs up on me,
then, I call another Verizon number and get a "helpful" rep who tells me we can order them on the phone ... only to come back to me after being on hold and telling me they have gone home for the day,
then, I try to get help online at Verizon.com and NO ONE IS AVAILABLE TO HELP ME.
I've been to Wal-Mart 3 or 4 times, been to the local franchise store, been to a store in the Chicago area, and have spoken with Verizon reps on the phone until I'm blue, and, still ... STILL ... I don't have new phones.
(removed) ALL I WANT IS TO UPGRADE OUR 2 PHONES ... WHY IS THIS SO HARD???!!!
We have been a Verizon customer for over 16 years, apparently that means NOTHING.

That is because the people who edit the posts are NOT CS agents but instead are people who are employed by the vendor Verizon has contracted to host the forum. I don't even believe they are Verizon employees, but employees of the Jive forum platform.
For example, if a Verizon store had an electrician repairing the lighting in one of their stores, you wouldn't necessarily walk in and expect them to get off their ladder to assist you with information about a phone since they had nothing better to do than to work on the lights. First of all, they aren't salesmen or CS agents. Second, they may not even have the capability to give you the assistance you are requesting.
