Why did Verizon suddenly disable my RIMS gps

This is outrageous. AND in my opinion illegal, as when I 'signed up' for 2 years, that app was part of the program.
Does anyone know a workaround?
Just FYI, yes have checked my settings and all are as they should be. This happened after a 'forced' download. Then when I went to my blackberry desktop, it too was forced to take a download before I could restore any apps. Naturally, the GPS maps was disabled.
Whom do we complain to? Anybody going to do a viral youtube spot?????
Any ideas if RIMS can do anything about it?

I did look but will look again. It is BIS. Google maps seems to work. I downloaded it earlier today.
I have just looked through every folder and menu I can find. And, I did download it from the RIMS site two times. Same thing.
Good thing is that Google maps works, that means that your GPS locator system is operating properly. I assume the program you are missing is "Blackberry Maps". If so, Google Maps is a good alternative (some will say better) application.
As to why it was not loaded on your update, I don't know. You may want to try and reload your OS and make sure that you select Blackberry Maps in the apllications selections section.

You have to work this out with iTunes Support.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
You can change the country in the next screen in the upper left if needed. Click on Contact iTunes Store Support under the iTunes Store heading at the top right side of the page. Then click on Purchase, Billing & Redemption in the next screen and follow the prompts.

Why did Mail suddenly stop receiving as of yesterday?

My apple mail 4.5 stopped receiving mail yesterday about noon. Nothing has changed, I have not installed anything new. I wasn't even home!
Now I can send, at least it appears to send. I am using OSX 10.6.8, and have been for a while.
Any suggestions? It's so frustrating. Would using Outlook solve the problem? Is it the outgoing mail server down? I don't even know how to check, other than the connection Dr. It says can't connect to POP server.
Thanks
Debbie

No ability to access Mail on MacBook since 20th, same messages as MycalD.
Called Apple, was told that I'd need to spend $49 for tech support or should go to Store.
Checked Communities; there were a couple dozen similar problems, but only one post (that I saw; it takes a long time to sort through requests for help and then find help, it seems to me) that proposed solutions, which I tried with no result.
Failed to get resolution using Apple Troubleshooting instructions.
Used Chat & was told that I need to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Leopard (free to MobileMe account holders) & then spend $30 for Lion. The theory is that migrating from MobileMe to iCloud with my current OS is preventing mail from synching with MacBook. I don't know why this should suddenly be a problem. (No problems with Mail on iPhone3 or iPad2 or accessing through Safari/iCloud, true, but I migrated to iCloud four months ago.)
So far, three+ hours spent on this issue.
If anyone with this problem actually gets it fixed, I'd appreciated knowing before downlading Leopard & purchasing Lion....

Wow, did Verizon really disable the upgrade page?

I've been trying to get on the upgrade webpage for verizon and it has been disable. I believe this is so customers can't upgrade their devices. Been like this for a couple of weeks. I click upgrade device and it sends me to a page that says they are upgrading their site to better serve me and it gives me a number. WHY?

I have been trying to upgrade my phone also but everytime I click upgrade it acts like it is taking me somewhere but the same page pops back up saying Eligible for a discount! Immediate Action Recommended. I'm assuming they think I will give up and go order a phone at full price or go to one of the stores and buy one there. Sure wish Alltel waas still in business they had the best customer service of any mobile provider I have used. When I used to travel for work and spend months in another area part of the providers did not have service in those areas so I would give my phone to one of the local superintendents or project managers and get a phone with another carrier. I'm starting to feel verizon feels they are so big their customers no longer matter. BofA thought the same thing when they recently told their customers they had to pay a monthly fee for ATM cards, but to their surprise many credit unions picked up thousands of customers who pulled their money out of their BofA accounts.

Why did contacts suddenly show numbers instead of names on calls and messages?

My calls and messages stopped showing names and started showing numbers instead? Why?

Why did Verizon send me a new Broadband Home Router?

I recently received an unexpected package from Verizon. The package contained an Actiontec router and a letter with an inadequate explanation of why the new router is require. It basically said that my current BHR is no longer compatible with their enhanced network and that they encourage me to complete the installation of the new BHR as soon as possible to avoid interruption to my broadband service. I honestly have no desire to use the Actiontec router and want to continue using my existing router, which is not the original router they had provided.
What I really need to know is the technical reason why I need to change my existing router to the Actiontec router. That way I can assess the options and decide whether or not I really need to use the Actiontec router.   Do I need a router that supports IPV6? Or do they want me to change from PPPOE to DHCP? Or is there some other reason?

Verizon has three Generations of routers.
Rev A-D are the first Generation Routers. You probably have one of those, and any router above that grade should be a better performing router, and at least longer performing.
Consider it preventative maintenance.
Rev F and above get better wireless performance for example.
IPV6 is a possibility, and Possibly some enhancements to how they deliver the guide or VOD or widgets.
If you don't have TV service, and you use a third party router, then don't worry about it. They are assuming that you have a Verizon Router, and if you do they care about getting their old stock out of the picture.

Why did Aperture suddenly start pulling exisiting Flickr sets into my lib?

This is a major annoyance and causes a lot of concern on my part.
My flickr stream is full of images that did not originate from Aperture, and I don't want them in my Aperture library either. They're old, shot from different cameras, etc...and my Aperture library is "reserved" for my newer images shot on DSLR's.
However, now I'm afraid of deleting all of those old sets out from Aperture, since I have no idea if its going to delete them from flickr upon the next "sync"
This was a horrible decision on Apple's part. Anyone have a workaround short of disabling the sync altogether? I see that there is now a preference item with a checkbox "automatically check for newly published albums" which I have now deactivated, but the damage is done...ALL of my sets (hundreds) have been added to my Aperture library, at least the reference to them. I have not manually synced any of them.

My plan, right now, is to disable the sync altogether and start over. However, I DO have some albums that DID originate from Aperture that I want to keep the sync to. Any ideas on how I can preserve this without having to re-upload the images would be greatly appreciated.
I disabled sync as well, and my plan is not to enable it again before Apple/Flickr come with a decent implementation. In other words: no, I do not have any good ideas to offer, just my sympathy.

Why did rMBP suddenly shut down before the delivery man could say Good-Bye?

Hi community,
Can you explain why an rMBP which I've just bought switched off without warning?
Here's my story in details:
Proof that it’s new, how it all happened and my theories why it could happen.
This is the paragraph which proves that the item was brand new:
I got an rMBP delivered from a well-known shop-chain. I carefully examined it. It hasn't been unsealed in any way. I opened the so-called transportation box. Unsealed the Apple box. Cloth inside, scent, MagSafe sealed.
Now this is what I did to the MBP:
Pushed the power button. No reaction. Connected the MagSafe. Amber light. Now again a fact in favour that the MacBook hasn't been used: It asked for initial settings: the language, region, name, password and so on. Inserted a a USB flash card to Identified the computer with some progs. As a prog didn’t unzip, I plugged in a USB Modem and entered Safari.
The MBP shut down. I touched the keys, reconnected the cord.
And this is what I can offer as explanation:
My guess 1 is: the MBP couldn’t work together with my USB flash card. It’s well-known MBPs don’t tolerate third-party peripherals. my USB flash card is produced by a respected firm, but it’s about 9 years old.
My second explanation is the mac didn’t like my MagSafe. I used a combination of the MagSafe from the freshest kit and the extending cord from my previous MBP which is 2008.
And the weakest excuse is the battery was so low that even plugging in couldn’t help. But I’ve never experienced that before.
The reason why I purchased this new device is the same problem which I’ve just described above: it also switches off.
Specs: APPLE MacBook Pro 13 ME864RU/A
(Intel Core i5-4258U 2.4 GHz/4096Mb/128Gb/Intel Iris
The date of production: Febr. 2014.

Barry,
Thank you that you let me understand how to sign with my name!
I can't believe those are my mistakes. These are two reasons why: 1) Experience reminds me, notebooks of all manufacturers can work even without batteries, and you, as Lvl 7, remember that no matter how uncharged the accumulator of an old MBP is, the device begins working as soon as you've plugged in the adaptor.
2) The cord was standard. Old, but made by Apple. And it did work. Provided the poor Mac with power. The older extending part had successfully worked together with the thin cord of a new MagSafe kit I'd recently bought as well as with a couple of previous ones.
. "You used a bunch of stuff that did not come with it. " And what bunch, Barry? One part of the cord only? Maybe you also mean the two usb cards! Then I can say they've never switched down any notebook. As for the first item (the modem), I've been using it for several years and had used a couple of its predecessors since 2008. And neither the second USB, the flash storage card, could cause a switch down too. I did have issues with one usb device, a no-name card-reader, but I couldn't notice failures caused by the two USBs that I've mentioned above.
The delivery man isn't familiar to Macbooks, but at least he had worked for the company for a long time, and he said that the device died and it was he who offered to take it back.
Yet, I might admit your answer is right. Cause the forum has taught me that any supernatural theory which comes to my mind as explanation to yet another problem occuring to my old MBP is, in fact, reality which has already been described by the forum users:-)
So, have new Macs really become so tender and do I have to ask this very Macbook back?

Why did Preview suddenly stop making bookmarks?

I'm building bookmarks in an ebook and suddenly Preview stopped making bookmarks. They don't show up in the bookmarks menu. And old bookmarks are disappearing. I'm afraid to open pdf files in Preview because bookmarks start vanishing. This is frightening, and has cost me days. Please help!

We don't know why CS5 stopped working. You haven't given us enough information to answer the question.
What I would do is to use the Adobe Cleaner tool to remove all your CS applications:

Why did iphoto suddenly disappear from my computer?

I tried to launch iphoto from my dock last night and it had a ? mark on the icon. I looked for the application on my computer and it is gone. Nothing in the trash and I am the only user of this computer. I have reinstalled the application but I would like to know why this happened. Microsoft Word also dissappeared in the same way. Could this be an OSX problem? I am currently running OSX 10.6.8. Has anyone had similar issues?

I actually did have a similar problem. iPhoto never left but I saw a generic "piece of paper with the 'A' application symbol" application icon in iPhoto's place with a ø symbol over that. It said iPhoto was corrupt or was missing files so it wouldn't let me open it. Not that it mattered in my case because I never use it, but nevertheless this is still a mystery to me.

Why did iTunes suddenly become white font on black background?

For no reason I can ascertain, my iTunes window suddenly became white font on black background, VERY difficult to see!
Help, please!!!

Figured it out, fixed it. In app Onyx, I had checked, in the iTunes file, "High Contrast". I unchecked that and everything is back to normal - black on white. Hope this message gets around to others writing about this.

Why did system suddenly "lock" most of my files?

HELP, PLEASE!
Two days ago a program suddenly ran and "locked" most - 36,000 - of my user-name files. What caused that?
Now when I try to open a file I get message that (I) don't have permission to view it.
Get Info for the file shows:
that the file is unlocked,
"You can read and write."
(Me) Priveledge is read and write.
I've tried:
Get Info: Clicked box for lock and then unlock - still get permission message.
Doing this:
Launch /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this command at the prompt
chflags -R nouchg ~/Documents
Press return.
Result: Selecting all files in Documents and then get info: mixed permissions. Most files in Documents have the permission problem.
Note: many of my files under my user name are not in Documents. Most of these files have the same permission problem.
HOW DO I UNDO THIS PROBLEM?
WHAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED IT
MacBook ProCore i7
OS X 10.75
Not using Time Machine

Why did Verizon come to the Alaska market when their coverage is so poor?

Even while using the phone in Anchorage, I continually receive a message that my phone is roaming to ACS's service. I took my first road trip after signing up for Verizon and my coverage is extremely poor on the Seward and Sterling Hwys. When I queried Verizon they stated that they only have 3G outside Anchorage. Additionally, when I queried about Homer and Kenai/Soldotna service they stated they had "limited service" 4G LTE, in Kenai and possibly Homer. This is in direct conflict with the information I was given prior to signing up.The techs on phone stated "that their data service was much better and the coverage more thorough".
I had better coverage and data with ACS. I will be returning my devices and having discussions with State folks about false advertising.
Beware study before you sign up.

I have the new iPhone 6.
I have talked to telephonic customer support twice to no avail. Please view my file.
Even while in Anchorage, often when I attempt to make a call I get a message that I am roaming on ACS's network and must use the area code while dialing a number.
Further, on leaving the Anchorage area I drop to 3G or 1x service. when trying to use my hotspot, I get 3G or 1x service in Homer.
I specifically stated I needed 4G coverage and was told that Verizon had agreements and I would have complete service. I realize Verizon is just moving into Alaska and has some tuning to do, but I am paying full price, therefore expect full coverage. Further, while dealing with this issue I receive email notice that my phone bill was due -$190.17. This was a shock as I only had the phone 1 week, was told that may monthly bill would be $100.00. So on checking, telephonically, since new hotspot internet connection was all but non-functional, I was told I had 2 device activation fees on this bill. Again quite a shock since I was told Verizon was forgoing activation fees to set up it's new Alaska customers.
So yes, you are in the process of losing me as a customer. I feel I have been deceived, lied to, and scammed.

Why did Safari suddenly start "never" accepting cookies?!?

Two days ago, Safari suddenly by default is set to "never" accept cookies whenever I load safari. I always have it set to the cookies setting "Only from sites I visit". Every time I use Safari now, I have to manually change it back from "never" to "Only from sites I visit".
I've deleted the plist file and cache. What else can I do to fix this?

I've deleted the plist file and cache.
If you are referring to the com.apple.Safari.plist file try this instead...
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the LIbrary folder then the Cookies folder.
Move the Cookies.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Launch Safari. Go to the Preferences / Security pane. Make sure Only from sites I visit is selected.
See if it will stay.
if not, check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Could be an Extension over riding your Cookies preferences. If you have any Extensions installed, turn that off, see if it makes a difference.

Why did firefox suddenly start blocking access to long accessed sites

the other day firefox started blocking sites as risky, sites that I have accessed hundreds of times (Yahoo, bank, employer, etc) and until I confirm three times it won't let me on the site.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
