Why did they not tell me they had discontinued the phone.  I found out about a week after buying it that it is not being made now.

A week after I bought the Lumia Icon, I was looking to see when the Windows update to 8.1 was coming.  Instead I read that the Icon had been discontinued.  Is this true?  Why wasn't I informed of that.

We are stating what is known and not eluding to the what-ifs and rumors.  All anyone can say for sure is that MS/Vzw say they are working on it.  No one can prove otherwise at this moment.  It is, however, understood that a lot of Icon owners bought the phone under assumed pretense or under some sort of advisement that certain updates would definitely come.  No, I don't work for Verizon.

  • Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History?

    Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History? This very annoying.

    Seriously - what could they have possibly been thinking? Mozilla, please tell us this was some kind of mistake. Accessing our bookmarks in FF-mobile is just plain bad as a user experience. And now without "Open In New Tab" we are supposed to drill down to our bookmarks for every tab we want to open? FF-mobile is almost useless without "Open In New Tab". Please restore "Open In New Tab" for bookmarks, thanks.

  • Why did they take away the playlist feature for movies and tv shows?

    The subject line pretty much sums it up but does anyone know why they took it away? It was seriously the greatest thing ever with my kid's tv shows. I could just turn on the playlist and they could watch a few episodes back to back without having to mess with the remote.

    I don't think they have.
    A recent software update may have reset your Settings which by default is playlists only for music.
    Check AppleTV Setting menus and enable playlists for all not just music.
    Let me know if you can't find the setting in the menu.

  • Why did they stop selling the iPad 3?

    How come they made it thicker and heaver and then just stopped making it and brang out the exact same thing that is still thicker and heavier but just added the lightning connector and A6x?
    I think that was pretty pointless.
    Does any one know why this happened? if you do or have a diffrent point of view to me post a reply.
    Thanks.

    You think a faster processor for the same cost is pointless? Ok.
    Companies are constantly improving their products, releasing better models and ceasing production of older models.
    It would be pretty pointless releasing an improved model, and then continuing to make and sell an older, worse model. Who would want the older, slower model?
    Next week, it's highly likely there will be even newer iPads and the current models will cease to be made and sold.
    It's called progress.

  • HT5085 I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list.  I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

    I have found that at least 3 music videos that I had previously purchased are not available in my I-tunes music video list.  I paid for them over a year ago, why are they not accessible, and why did they just disappear from my lists?

    Have you deleted anything from your iTunes library ? Have you checked to see if they are still on your computer, but not listed in your iTunes library ?
    If not then do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading ? If they don't show there and others do and they are still in your country's store, then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If they are no longer in your store for redownloading (or you aren't in a country where music videos can be redownloaded) then you will need to copy them back from your backup of your library/downloads.

  • I took photos and they saved in my camera roll. they were there the next morning. I took more pictures and they are all gone. why did they not save and can i get them back ?

    I took photos on my iPhone on yesterday and they all saved. I looked at my photos the next day and they were still there. I took more photos and now none of the last photos that I took in the last two days are there. Why did they not save? Can I get them back? My storage was not full. I just updated my iPhone to ios 7.1 a few days before.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Why did they change itunes. i do not like it. miss the album scroll

    why did they change itunes. i do not like it. miss the album scroll and ablum cover in bootom corner.

    I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl+B to turn on the menu bar
    Ctrl+S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before)
    Ctrl+/ to turn on the status bar
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    Should you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

  • IOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change ?

    iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

  • I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5.  Now the format in Itunes is changed.  when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device.  Why did they have to change this?  Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

    How do you add musci to the Iphone?  I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5.  Now the format in Itunes is changed.  when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device.  Why did they have to change this?  Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

  • Why did they remove Weed Firm,

    Why did they remove Weed Firm from the app store. Its not the app stores fault that the parents let their kids have an iphone and didnt controll what they download if you dont want your kid playing stuff like that dont buy them an iphone. Their is still a community of users who would like to play the game but cannot because it has been removed. If your child is so dumb that they have to imitate what ever they play dont get them age rated stuff. There is such things as parental locks. So why should a community of users suffer because of a few.

    We are all fellow users here and are not party to the reasons for Apple's decisions, if indeed the removal was Apple's decision. And these are user-to-user technical support forums, where discussions about Apple policies are per the terms of use not appropriate. If you want to comment to Apple, use their feedback page:

    It is not possible. You have hit Activation Lock, an anti theft measure. The last owner is the only one who can unlock it with their Apple ID. Tell them to go here

    Double-click the white Adobe Reader Icon to open a new windows.
    Double-Click the "Adobe Reader X Installer.pkg" file inside.
    If it has already been installed it will notify you and say that it has been installed already.
    If you no longer have those files go here to get the latest version of Adobe Reader.
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    Let me know how that all goes and if you have any hang ups.
    ON TO THE NEXT POINT OF INTEREST
    It sounds to me from researching the other white 'icon' you have that you are trying to install a copier by the brand of Rico Aficio.
    Possibly the Aficio 2090/2105.
    If so the install CD/Driver download for that copier must have also wanted you to install Adobe Reader to view the User Guides/ Documentation included.
    If you are trying to install said device then double click the white icon labeled Ricoh_Aficio...double click the installer file inside of that.
    It should run a setup/install window like Adobe Reader did then go from there. If it has already been install also you can go to your System Preferences -> Printers to see if it installed correctly and is working properly.
    You can get to system preferences by clicking the Apple icon very upper left on your screen and selecting it from the drop down.

  • When I bought my Mac they gave me a free hp printer. My mac is a 10.7 and the printer is for 10.6 and below.... so why did they give me this printer? Can I use it somehow or should I ask for a different one that is compatible with my computer?

    Can I use it somehow or should I ask for a different one that is compatible with my computer?
    No, that's not necessary.
    You Mac most likely sat in inventory before it was sold so the latest drivers were not installed.
    If you tried using the printer and couldn'tget it to work, go here >  http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
    If this is a USB connected printer, make sure it's connected to your Mac, then at that link click:  Detect Your Product
    Download and install drivers for v10.7 / Lion.
