Why Can't VZ do the Right Thing For Once and Permit Network Extender Owners to Close their Networks?

Given the fact that the Network Extender can be set for managed access or open access, clearly it can technologically be configured so that a closed network could be set up so that ONLY those users that are included in the "priority list" could access the Network Extender.
If I had to guess, Verizon, prefers to benefit from your internet connection and your investment in a network extender by bolstering their network in poor reception areas for all of their customers in the vicinity on us Network Extender owners' backs rather than to do the right thing and permit a customer who has paid for the device as well as their internet access to close the network. 
I find this sleazy and hope VZW will rethink its approach to this.  We who subscribe to VZW for our cellular service pay the highest rates, on average, in the country for cell service.  We have also paid hundreds of dollars for the Network Extender, and pay for the internet that is used to facilitate the phone calls made through the network extender.
Once it a while it would be nice if VZW did the right thing for its customers and not blatantly, at least, put their corporate greed about the needs of their customers. 

I called Verizon tech support, and was informed that there is an option to close the Network Extender. This would allow only numbers on the white list to connect to the extender. Is the information I received incorrect? I spoke to them just the other day. Have you tried to configure the extender recently?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

  • HT1725 why can't I stream the friggin' thing? 3 hours to download a 45 minute show?

    why can't I stream the TV show I want to watch and paid for? Why does it keep telling me it will take longer and longer to download this program? It started at 37 minutes and now it's up to 4 hours. And I see no progress. How can I stream it instead of downloading?

    Dont know if i made it clear in the previous post, but it used to work with no problem, it's just recently that this has begun to be a problem.  could it be the latest updates that are causing the problem?  the only thing ive been doing differently is i've begun transfering my dvd collection to digital copies to stream through itunes.  the digital files are ones that itunes recognizes and worked before.  is it possible to have a library that is too large and slows down the streaming?  i tried using airplay last night, with the same results, the loading wheel just spins forever.  the AppleTV can find the itunes library, and all the files on it, but they just dont play. 

  • Why can't I use the landscape feature for iPhone 5? It only works in limited apps. I feel as though I wasted my money since I prefer to use my phone in landscape mode.

    Why can't I use the landscape feature in all of the apps? It seems like a waste of money since I prefer to use the landscape feature.

    It is up to the app developer to decide if the app should work in landscape mode or not. This is also true on Android phones, by the way.

    Perhaps because the "Instagram" App is optimized only for the iPhone 5 currently and there is no Instagram App for the iPad only at this time???
    I don't see one listed in the U.S. App Store.

  • Is time capsule the right thing for me?

    I am looking for extra storage to go along with the new macbook air I just purchased.  Is time capsule the right product for me?  I basically want to keep movies and other videos but not use up the hard drive space on my laptop.  I want to be able to backup my computer and also access the files when necessary.

    time capsule does back ups of ALL your data on a periodic basis. If you are just storing vids  and music etc, you probably don't want to look at using time capsule. time capsule is there if you have an issues with your mac, and you need to restore all your data.
    i suggest just getting a normal external hard drive about 1terrabyte and don't sync it with time capsule.

  • How to know the right value for SHMMAX and SHMALL for ia64 memory 32Gb

    Dear all,
    I want to install Oracle database 10g R2 on RHEL 5 ia64.
    Here the server specification :
    Proc : itanium64 ( montecito )
    Mem : 32Gb
    # getconf PAGE_SIZE = 16384
    Metalink says, that SHMMAX should be half of physical memory and SHMALL = SHMMAX / PAGE_SIZE.
    kernel.shmmax = 17179869184
    kernel.shmall = 1048576
    My Question is this is right value for SHMMAX and SHMALL on my server..??
    Thank you

    if shmmax is half the ram then what should be sga
    sga size should anyhow should be less then shmmax ,means we cannot increase sga size more than half the ram
    then how ROT for SGA that should be 70% of RAM hold good

  • Why can't I change the right margin in Pages?

    I am using Pages 5.5.2 under OS Yosemite 10.10.2 on an iMac. I chose "Informal Letter" as the style, because I am trying to write a SIMPLE letter. It says the right margin is set to 0.5 inches, but the program WILL NOT allow the text to go beyond 6.5 inches. I have turned on the ruler and when I click in the paragraphs there is a blue upside down triangle in the upper ruler showing the limit of the text. If I click on that I can move it to the left, but it WILL NOT let me move it to the right. It forces the text to end at 6.5 inches from the left margin leaving a huge blank area on the right side of the page. This is ridiculous! In WORD it is extremely easy to move the right margin to the limits of the printer. Why won't Pages allow me to move the text limit of the line past the 6.5 inch mark?
    HELP!

    Hi Bush,
    what you suggested does not work. I set the right margin to 0 in the Documents settings, but still can only move the blue triangle to the left.
    Yes, I agree that there is a bug in the Informal Letter template.
    Peter wrote:
    Better to create your own template from the Blank template or use one of the other templates.
    A hint that might help you (in templates other than Informal Letter)
    My advice is the same as Peter's. Give up on the Informal Letter template and create your own template from Blank in Template Chooser:
    You will find that Document Margins and Insets on the Ruler actually work!

  • Can someone point in the right direction for how to make a multiplayer game over the internet

    Hello,
    I am looking into making a game where two people who can be in different places would log on to the app, log in and can play - i.e. they would be connected over the internet. I'm looking for a hint on what is the direction to take and which technologies.
    For example is there a best practice for example if you make an app with DirectX and C++, and you use some kind of web service or something? or is it easier using C# and XNA? just looking for some pointers in the right direction. I have played around
    with DirectX, far from proficient but have familiarity, I have no experience with XNA but hear it's less hardcore and easier going. I'm particularly interested in what the best way to connect over the internet.
    Thanks

    What you are asking is very complicated and one of the more difficult things you can do in gaming. I'd strongly recommend you start smaller to learn and then move up to multi-player games as your skills grow.
    From the multiplayer client perspective it doesn't really matter which technology you use. You can write a multiplayer game in any engine or technology that can talk to the network. Choose the client technology that you are most adept at and interested in
    and learn it. You can go straight to DX, use a third party library such as Monogame (XNA isn't supported for Windows Store apps), or a complete game engine such as Unity. Once you can write a decent one-player game you'll have the foundation to start on to
    build a two-player game.
    At that point you'll need to define the problem much more specifically. As you state it, it is really wide open. How do you want the users to connect? Directly machine to machine? Matched through a web server but running client side? Connecting to a game
    running on a remote server? Something else?
    The network connection itself is probably fairly straightforward, but where to connect and how to manage that can be difficult. You'll have to decide what properties you want. Is this an action game where responsiveness is important or
    a turn based game where timing is less relevant?
    Are the players connecting locally or completely remotely? If the former then they can probably connect directly over the local network (NFC is great here). If the latter then they probably will need to connect to a matchmaker service to avoid firewalls.
    This can get very complex, but there are existing solutions you can use rather than writing your own.

  • Is automator the right thing for me..?

    Hi,
    I'm a complete newbie when it comes to automator and OSX in general and I know nothing of coding and applescript, so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I'd also like to add that I've been looking at the 'Automator help' function in OS X, but I've found it to have very poor and limited information in it.
    This is what I'd like to acheive:
    I run an estate agency and I've accidently deleted all the email addresses and news grps from my address book (I use entourage). I need to send out my monthly newsletter and have only a list (about 900 in total) of emails sent to me from the email address of each person subscribed to my newsletter. What I'd like to do it create some type of action that will take the "From" address from an email and add it to a email group and then go to the next email and do the same and so on...
    I had originally thought I might use Automator to copy the address and paste it into some text document that I could then use to copy and paste the entire document into the address book.....not sure if that's an overkill..but it was my original idea.
    From what I've managed to read from other postings it isn't simple to create an Automator Action for scratch, plus I've been looking through my list of actions and they don't appear to support Office apps at all.
    Any advise on the best approach to take would be much appreciated.
    I hope it isn't just to sit down and copy and paste each address myself.... I thought that was what the automator was for..!?!?!

    Hi,
    Apps have to be written from the start so as to be aware of any scripting capability, and those apps that MS develops (much to the success of hackers worldwide) are programmable with Visual Basic. Thats why opening Word docs and files that look like jokes/funstuff/videos can cause such havoc on a Windows computer ! Unfortunately, MS didnt write their apps to be Applescript or Automator aware, so we've got a problem.
    And in fact, the solution might indeed be obtainable via Visual Basic but learning how to cook that would be far more difficult than the pain of a multi-hour long cut and paste session. In addition, MS doesnt have a very flexible schema from which to parse this data. If you look at the path to the monolithic database file MS chooses to use to source Entourage data, (its at):
    /Users/username/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X Identities/Main Identity/Database
    you'll probably see a very large single file here. Tuff nut to crack, perhaps.
    Barring anyone else's brilliance shining its way to this thread, I would prepare for the cut and paste session, and when you get all those names in one place, might be a great idea to do a tab-delimited contacts export ! Then use that file (such as an Excel spreadsheet) to bring data into Entourage, or any other email program you may use over the years.
    Hope this helps
    Best,

  • Why can't I use the Column Browser for my iPod when connected to the computer?

    In iTunes 11, I can use the Column Browser while viewing my music library on the computer.  But it's inexplicably not available for viewing the music on my iPod when it's connected to the computer to sync.
    The Column Browser is the simplest, easiest, most elegant way for me to review what's on my iPod, and create Playlists from my music and CD books.  It was available in 10.7 and is available on the computer, why not the iPod????!!!???
    Why mess around changing something that isn't broken - after all these years why can't that option still be available?  It doesn't have to be the default, just be available. Will I have to downgrade to 10.7 yet again????
    And you don't even have a relevant category for me to choose from below!!  It makes sense to me that you provide a general "Using iTunes" category.

    Thanks for your reply, but I've already done that and the Column Browser options are completely grayed out.  I've taken a screen shot and hope I can paste it in here.  You'll see I have the sidebar open.  That's the way I prefer to deal with iTunes.
    This happened after I updated to iTunes 11.0.4.  Perhaps that changed the setting options. I think I had the Column Browser option prior to that, but I just got a new iPod and I was busy loading stuff, so not completely sure if it worked before the update.  But I think I would have noticed, because it bugs me so much not to have the option.

  • Why can't we change the 9am alarm for all-day events?

    I need these all-day events alarms to be at another time, why can't I do this? Why the arbitrary 9am? Please, don't suggest to not use all-day events, this is not an acceptable solution to a very basic setting change that should be accessible.

    Hi,
    See from the business perspective, but not from the system point of view.
    Intial triggering point for any business operation(inquiry , quotation , order - others are dependant transactions) is sold to party ( the one who place the order), which means at the time  of placing the order, respective business partner should completely aware of & disclose the required details to complete the business deal. 
    eg: where these order supposed to dispatch,
    to whom business has to send the copy of invoice &
    who is gonna settle this invoice amount.
       So Sold to party will have all the required details. Hence one sold to party act as the other business partners.
    Once agreed, then only business partner is created as Sold to party in system. If is there any changes from the Sold to party such as in future sold to party is not going to receive the goods, but they nominated some other business partner for this function, then the respective details will be recorded as Ship to party & assigned this number to Sold to Party.
    So you cant change the sold to party as some other business partners such as SH, BP  & PY.

  • Is OS X 10.4 Tiger Full install CD Mac New X code the right thing for me?

    Please Help - I have been having problems on some websites and with Safari - I can't afford to buy a new or even a 'new' used Mac with Intel - I have been thinking that upgrading to Tiger will solve my problems, I have committed to buy (on Ebay) but not yet paid for OS X 10.4 and am now worried that I am buying the wrong thing.
    The description of what I am buying is Apple eMac OSX 10.4 Tiger Full install CD Mac New XCODE
    Rare genuine factory Mac operating system, full installation CD set for Apple OS 10.4 Tiger. Normally Tiger OS 10.4 comes in single DVD format which most older eMacs don't have, so this OSX 10.4 is a rare item in CD format. 16 install CD's plus an XCODE Development tools version 2 on 17 discs.
    My eMac specifications are:
    Machine Model: eMac
    CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 1.25 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 768 MB
    Bus Speed: 167 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.8.2f1
    Can anyone please help a damsel (albeit not a very young one) in distress?

    No, its only 10 pm at the moment.
    OK, that's good news as it is the latter type eMac, though not identical to the latest, it falls into the 'second half' of the eMac series.
    The only difference I can see is that your model has a slightly slower graphics card but is the same model card. It seems only a subtle difference.
    I believe there is a high probability that those disks would work.
    Given they are considerably cheaper £27 or less it is probably worth risking. I'll guess 85% + chance of success.
    The retail Tiger disks are just black, but they are quite rare, and overpriced.
    Here is a comparison at
    http://fastmac.com/osx.php
    where they want over £50 (US79.95) so the ebay thing looks good.
    You could change web browsers to Opera or Camino but Java versions end at 1.4 in Panther.
    10.3 is pretty ancient in internet years, so an OS upgrade will at least keep you with a useful tool, even if not at the cutting edge.
    10.20pm see you tomorrow.

  • Why can I not get the Web Icon for some of my saved Bookmarks

    Many of my saved Bookmarks have their correct Web Icons.
    However many fail to save their Web Icon leaving the Icon blank.
    The Web Sites in question do have specific Web Icons.
    I have tried deleting the Bookmarks in question and saving them again without success.
    Why can I not get these icons to be saved in the Bookmarks?

    No problem here with that TalkTalk website, the favicon image saves immediately when I save it as a bookmark. It uses a conventional favicon.ico image in the root directory <br />
    link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/favicon.ico" /
    With Barcalays iBank I can't figure out where the website image in the Location bar is being loaded from.
    With Barclaycard, the favicon saves with the new bookmark, even though that image is in a non-standard location. <br/>
    link rel="shortcut icon" href="assets/images/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon"

  • Why can't i install the new update for itunes?

    Every time I try to install iTunes 10.6.1 it says there is an error.  So I try to do it manually and it says an error occured during configuration. 
    I have a new iPhone that I'm trying to sync to iTunes and it won't let me and I think it's because of this update.

    I don't get any information from the updater.  It just tells me "an error has occurred during the installation" so there is no way to search what the issue might be.  In the past I've had to have my virus software turned off to complete an update for iTunes but that didn't work this time.  Still won't update and just says "error" - no code, no reason.  It suggests a manual installation but the same thing happened when I tried that.
