This is an extra layer of security used to stop those who could otherwise get access to your account. It's nothing new, considering everyone under the sun is doing that. Adding a piece to the puzzle gives Verizon that much more ability to stop people from doing nefarious things with the account, should they manage to get your info (eg: Spyware on a computer).
Most use of pins override the need for password or allow the reset of passwords. I am anti-pin as pins are usually only 4 digits long.

Why Do I Now Need Lightroom??

After ordering CS3 last night and going through the clips on the new capabilities of CS3 along with Adobe Bridge..I am trying to find an answer as to why I have Lightroom. If you have a look at the features of Lightroom you will find a lot/most/if not all, of the new features in Adobe Bridge. Anyone else feel this way? BTW I am on a pc.

Total workflow efficiency and speed is what counts for me--not does app X do operation Y a bit faster or slower than app Z--becasue I process a lot of images on a daily basis.
I have timed LR versus Bridge plus Iview and IDimager--same develop operations, same file operations, start to finish for 40 mixed images--from jpgs to 4 RAW formats and including a number of 70-150 meg tiff scans. For MY workflow. Bridge CS3 + a DAM with advanced features and watched folders is 60% faster than LR--and Bridge is still in beta.
When Library gets fine tuned that may not be the case. But right now I miss nothing in LR Develop when using Bridge CS3 with ACR4, but I do miss features of Bridge ACR4 when I use LR at this time.
But, I am a PC user :) So you MAC guys should be kind :)

Why JSC 2 now needs 1GIG Ram instead of 512MB for EA?

Hi all,
What's the difference between JSCreator 2 and Early Access edition that require not 1 GIG of ram?
I'm skeptic of installing JSC2 bcz of this.
thx.

ok, that's a Ooooohmm.. I didn't think my question would spark such a buzz..
javaswed,
I'm sorry if I offended you with my question.
what are you doing in the J2EE department if you dont have 1GB ram in the first place ?.
I'm just starting to learn Java and Creator 2.
if you dont have 1 GB ram your hardly a serious developer anyhow.
Well actually I'm not new to programming, I finished a computer class and mainly did HTML in Dreamweaver since 1999. And I don't consider myself a serious developer I guess here you're right. You will be amazed what my current PIII 450Mhz with 400MB ram can run on Linux. It load's JSC2EA on XP SP2 with another 35 processes running in 2:27 mins. I manily need for learning, tutorials etc. By the time I go for a production i'll buy myself a new pc.
the comp hardware costs really is about 0 compared to what a software developers sallary is..
I'm not a "Software developer" and you should remember that not everybody live in the USA. I'm 24 y/old and the truth is i'm in the bottom of the tire now and the days of working 1/2 hour a day and making $1.5k from advertising are gone.
Times change...
so if you cant affard a decent comp, something is major wrong.
Maybe. Time will tell. I could have bought myself a new pc, I just decided to invest the money in something more important.
You should also be aware of that the generall sweet spot for client performance has recently moved from 1 to 2gb of ram.
this is something you should understand...
I sold pc's on my last job, I do understand it :-)
And really, arguing about these tiny amounts of ram for a developer machine is silly.
Actually arguing about anything is silly. I didn't come to start an argue. :-)
I came to look for help.
I wish you all of the best. :-)
Everybody, thank you very much for your kind comments and warm welcome!
vspurlin,
Thank you for your comment you actually answered my question. I will be able to run The new release of JSC2 on my pc for a learning purpose and tutorials for the time being.
It may be a good idea to show on the minimum system requirements, The actual MINIMUM of ram required to run the program, lets say for learning and recommended minimum for production work. Otherwise in my opinion 1GIG requirement may deter a lot of people "planning to replace comp" of touching JSC2 in the first place.
Thanks again, :-)
Valentine.

I do not know my pin number what do I do?

I have been getting blocked calls and it has been getting annoying. I finally found a website that reveals the caller and it needs the pin number. But I have no idea what it is.

What website are you talking about?
Not sure how this is IPHONE related, as it sounds like a third party website you are visiting.

I now need sound switch up for audio to play out

I Alway use my iPad to watch tv and until yesterday it didn't need to have the sound switch unmuted. Why do I now need to have sound active for the sound to play on a video?

How can i figure out what my pin number is?

i need my pin number but don't remember what it is how can I figure this out?

josh0921, I know that being without your PIN can be quite the hassel. Just to be sure, are you referring to your billing account password or are you referring to a PIN used to unlock the device? If this is regarding your billing PIN when calling into customer service that cannot be changed, but can certainly be updated after completeing secondary verification over the phone. If you need to reach out customer service you can give them a call at 800-922-0204. http://vz.to/XNtW61

HT201363 I have a pin number and a thumbprint. Why is apple mining me for more information?

Why do I need to answer security questions to download a free app from the appstore? I've already used a pin number or thumprint to unlock my phone and I've provided my password when prompted in the appstore, so why do I then have to answer additional questions? Just seems like an excuse for Apple to mine personal information.

Help you what?
We are itunes users just like you.
Not sure I understand your question.
Please explain.

After installing ios7 its asking for a pin number now its disabled how do i carry on

During the update, you must have entered a 4 digit passcode. You must use the same 4 digit to unlock.
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

Having purchased and installed pages after finishing my 30 day trial I now can't save changes to documents, it keeps saying that my trial is over and I need a serial number? Never got a serial number, any ideas how to rectify this?

Hi, having purchased and installed pages after my 30 day trial had finished I am now unable to save any changes to documents I had created in the trial version. It says I need a serial number, which I never got when I purchased the pages app. Does anyone kno how to rectify this, I would be very grateful for any help as I'm currently writing up my thesis and am now unable

Hi, I had the same problem and I found that you don't need a serial number anymore. Here is what I did:
(1)I went to Applications fodder on my Mac. (You can navigate to the Application folder from 'New Finder Window.')
(2) Deleted Pages (installed as part of the free free trial version) from the Applications Folder. Also deleted 'IWorks' from the Applications folder.
(3) Started AppStore.
(4) Clicked on Purchases.
(5) Clicked on Pages.
(6) Clicked Install.
(4) repeated (5) and (6) for Numbers and Keynote

I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated. And can't used the app card number. Any advice???

I have always paid for apps with a credit card and now need to use an app store card but I can't get past the point where it keeps wanting my credit card updated. And can't used the app card number. Any advice???

I do NOT like using my credit card if I don't have to, and I went out of my way to go buy an Apple gift card, which I successfully redeemed into my Apple account. However, when I use the Apple "Cards" app, it will not let me use anything other than my credit card. I tried purchasing a card, hopefulling it would come out of my Apple store balance, but no such luck -- it came out of my credit card.
Apple is becoming more like Microsoft every day.

I downloaded a Trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI. Now the trial has runout and I've signed up for a subscription. However, my software still needs a serial number. How can I get a serial number for the installed software?

There is no serial number and you don't need one. What you need for a subscription is to SIGN IN within Acrobat, so it knows the subscriptions you own.
