Why does my phone give me the Roaming message when I try to make calls when I'm not roaming??

All of a sudden recently when ever I try to make phone calls I get the message saying that I am being transferred to an external operator to use a calling card, credit card, or collect call to complete my call and that the reason is that my phone is roaming. I have had this account with Verizon for a year now, I am in the same area as always, and I've never had this problem. I've talked to live chat reps and tried to call Verizon and no one can give me an answer. They've had me call *288 and *28890 and nothing has worked. Whats going on???

This is a complete lie.
Verizon made an update on 10/4 and has been having issues with their prepaid activation which is still happening. They do not have any update and there is no resolution to this. If you look at other postings on here they have not responded to any other prepaid customer issues.
You will not be able to use your phone till Verizon resolves this issue.

Why does my macbook give me the option to choose Macintosh HD or recovery HD at startup every time?

Why does my macbook give me the option to choose Macintosh HD or recovery HD at startup every time?
It never used to do that before until now. How can I get it to just start up to the regular Macintosh HD again without clicking on the HD at startup?
Im running a new macbook pro 13 inch with lion and everything is fully updated.
Thanks.

Next time you boot, go here to make sure there is "something" selected:

Why does my phone only offer attachments to be opened in drop box and evernote, when before it always gave me the "open in i-note" option-suggestions

does the iphone 4 only offer 2 "open-in" options when dealing with email attchements?
mine used to always offer teh I-note option now it only offers evernote and dropbox- any ideas?

Hello,
Sorry to just now be getting back to you, but with Thanksgiving and my granddaughter's wedding yesterday, I've been too busy and stressed to worry about my phone again until now.
Yes, I used the default email application, and the email provider is Cox Communications. Anything you can do to help would be appreciated. Also I was wondering if I should change to IMAP (from POP3)....perhaps that would help the problem? Don't know, as I don't know anyone else who uses IMAP. Your help, again, would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Why does my phone cut and the apple symbol appears on the screen?

When I use the telephone, it suddenly cuts and when I look at the phone, the apple symbol has appeared on the screen.

It sounds like iOS has become corrupted on your phone. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If this doesn't resolve the problem let us know and we can try other solutions.

Why does my phone all of the sudden keep saying "searching"?

I have a new 4s. Got it on Oct 14th and have had zero problems. Well all of the sudden it constantly says "searching" and will then say AT&T then freeze for a second then go back to "searching." I have an AT&T MicroCell which has given me no problems. I disconnected that and the same thing happens, so I know its no my MicroCell. I reset the network settings to no avail. I'm gonna see if this goes away by tomorrow morning, if not then I'm gonna restore the phone via iTunes. Anyone experience this? I doubt my phone is defective. Could this be an iOS 5 bug?

Refere to a previous discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3396554?start=0&tstart=0
Turning your Sim Pin off may help, although this step + a Back Up/Restore may be required.

App Store, same card for for 2 years,but a few days ago when I try to make a purchase it will not allow the transaction, I have checked my card information and it has stated that your credit card has been declined. Bank says card OK

I have had no success entering card information again, the bank says no problem with card. What can I do?

Why would the phone give me the error "Cannot Connect to Voicemail"?

Why would the phone give me the error "Cannot Connect to Voicemail"? How do I get into my voicemail? Is it a network problem? Or is it a setting issue on the phone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Alex

Usually it indicates that your data network is unavailable. When you receive this message, does the phone say 3G or E next to the AT&T service bars?
I usually reset the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 10-15 seconds until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears. That solves the problem for me when it occurs.
Hope this helps!

You appear to have AVG installed:
*See --> http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=173969#post_173969
From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
The decision is yours to turn off the "advisor" or leave it on.

Why does my phone direct me to the william hill app when browsing safari?

why does my phone direct me to the william hill app when browsing safari?

It's an advert from a (dodgy) website. Some advertisers use these rather unscrupulous ads.
All you can do to avoid such obtrusive advertising is to stop using the websites that do it. Maybe then they'll learn not to be so blatant.

Why does my phone constantly turn off on its own as if the battery is dead?

why does my phone constantly turn off on its own as if the battery is dead? Its so annoying! Every day once my battery life span is at about 40%, my phone will start shutting down with the dead battery sign once it is down. Then after about 3 minutes i can turn it back on.

Tons of people have this problem with iPhone 4S and 5, whether they are on iOS 6 or 7. You can only hope that one day Apple realizes that this bug (software ? hardware ?) is a *real* pain. So far, they haven't paid attention.

Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the contract was honored and I am still an AT

Why won't Apple give out the unlock code for an iPhone 3Gs when the 2 year contract was honored and I continued to be an AT&T customer with an iPhone 4. I wanted my old 3gs unlocked so my daughter could use it overseas when she is deployed. AT&T service over there *****, the international plan was not worth it. The individual SIM cards per country are much more reliable and cheaper. Teslestial in Iraq and Afghanistan, Telecom in Croatia,Vodafphone in Germany and Italy. Why Apple will not unlock these phones for our military to utilize is incomprehensible to me. These young men and women are fighting for these Apple people to go to work every day, safe, to live lives they have become accustom to yet releasing a phone to use on another network they can't do at least for the military.... WHY APPLE?? WHY? A good excuse not some of the many lame excuses I have received on the phone many times. AT&T states it is Apple that will not allow them to unlock the phones... Please tell me why? All I want Is my daughter to have a phone I trust, to be able to call me when she is given the free time to do so and I trust the apple phone.
Apple, please reconsider your stance on this issue. I am having a hard time understanding why you will not unlock the iPhone.
A simple code could allow me to talk to my daughter while fighting for our country the Great USA. Apple should be on the front line and enabling those fighting for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness to use unlocked phones on reliable local GSM networks.
I honestly hope that someone who has some sort of authority to begin allowing the release of unlock codes, and not forcing people to unlock their phones with some program produced by some hack just to be able to use your wonderful phone. That is is in a nutshell, People love the iPhone so much that they want the ability to use it on the most reliable GSM carrier available to them. That should be a major compliment. Even men and women on the front line want your phone. I agree, my service is not the best where I live either, love the GSM technology so stay with it, but if I had the ability to change to the other GSM network that has much better coverage in this area of the country I would change. To change now I would not have my iPhone and that I will not part with.
Apple, please reconsider opening up the lock code and allow your gem of a phone to be used by many more people in many more areas and most importantly overseas fighting for our country. I know if this is really thought about Apple would understand and come to the conclusion to release the unlock codes, and stop the people from hacking in to use the iPhone on other networks.
I would love for my daughter to be able to use my iPhone 3gs while fighting for our Free country.
A response would be appreciated.
Thank you.
An Apple customer for 10 years, phones and computers.
P

Defiled:
I did sign a two year contract and completed that contract. The 3gs is no longer in service. My daughter is going overseas to protect you and your family. I was attempting to find a way for her to have a reliable phone that could offer her some connection with home as she travels through the middle east. She travels in missions all over.
At&T unlocks other phones of theirs why not the iPhone? AT&T says that Apple will not give them the code, it is not the carrier. If I would have known this situation would have come up I would have bought and unlocked 3gs phone"Deggie" . My main complaint is that Apple has not good excuse as to why they will not allow their phones to be unlocked from services well, AT&T . I bought the phone full price, completed the contract terms, even went for and iPhone 4 with another2 year contract, along with owning an apple computer... I love the product. My main issue is give me a good answer as to why you won't allow a phone to be unlocked. It doesn't hurt Apple, People still have to buy the phones from them, and use their App store and iTunes.
Sorry, just upset about my daughter heading over there, boots on the ground, and just pray she will be safe. Would have liked to facetime her while she is in the airports and in specific areas allowed for that.
Please don't come down on me for asking this question. I understand all the contracts etc.... but to single out the iPhone specifically to not unlock after contract is over does not seem fair.
Thank you for your responses.

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work?

Why does Adobe sendnow work and the newest and greatest Adobe Send does not work? I wasted about 8 hours on trying to get Adobe Send to upload 269 files that amounted to 469MB. When it did not work I made a zip file and after a lot of wasted run time that did not work. The first situation gives little indication of when a file is loaded compared to Adobe SendNow. In both cases with Send it failed with a message like only the first 50 can be loaded. When I went and looked none of them had been loaded. With the zip file (I wanted to hide the individual files so they would not be counted) it appeared to work but very slowly and finally said it was done and I went and looked and it had done anything for oever 2 hours except a false "I'm runninng" indication.
Thus, I took a chance with Adobe SendNow and it works great. It never gave me a limit on the amount of files nor on the size of the complete job. It shows me one file at a time when it has finished with the file uploading it. SendNow has never given me any problems.
Why woiuld you want to change the program from SendNow to Send without the newest program being the best, fastest, user friendly program of the two? It just doesn't make sense to me. I suggest that Adobe keep SendNow working until Send is fixed. I would also suggest that SendNow and how it looks be kept, called Send, then modify Send one thing at a time until you get it to the point you need it to be for Acrobat. I have heard nothing good and now I have experienced it that Send is a piece of junk. I wasted most of my work day on giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt to find out I made a very bad decision to trust Adobe to make good decisions on the transfer of a function to another place .... both Adobe's responsibility.without making it painless for your customers that totally rely on you. Don't throw away customer confidence as it is very hard to get it back.

Funny how you answer to "troll". (What's your handle on AT&T forums?)
Yep! Verizon living up to it's contractual obligations by not releasing updates. Caveat emptor!
I think there are some reasonable expectations here to keep customer's happy. When one carrier offers upgrades there is an expectation the same will happen across all the carriers. We have seen that except Big Red.
Verizon could have said the update is in MS court months ago and stilled the voice of the disgruntled, or at least redirected it, but instead chose to be silent. Not for market share but for partial blame I think.
We will have to agree to disagree since you only see Terms & Conditions and I, see customer satisfaction.

Why does my application give SerializationException although I have no serialized classes?

I have created an application deployment tool for BizTalk, and it references and uses Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM apis to start, stop and manage a BizTalk application. Now when I run the tool, it gives following exception-
Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Type 'Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.BtsCatalogExplorer' in Assembly 'Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM, Version=3.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' is not marked as serializable.
None of my classes are defined to be serializable. And the tool is created in WPF. Any idea how I might resolve this?

Hi,
I think the user has got this resolved at stackoverflow already.
Why does my application give SerializationException although I have no serialized classes?
Resolution: He was creating the instance of BtsCatalogExplorer through reflection, using connection
string instead solves the issue.
