Why does Verizon call me from unrecognized CA number - 949-286-3973?

It appears that you (Verizon) are calling my cell phone from an unidentified California number - 949-286-3973. From a brief search on the Internet, this seems to be what you are doing. PLEASE STOP DOING THIS!!! I understand it to be a survey about customer service but I do not answer scam calls (any number I don't recognize is a scam caller to me, especially a robo call that does not leave a message). This is the same complaint you know you have heard repeatedly from a lot of your customers but you have determined that you don't care and just keep on doing it. Every time it happens, we have to take the time to research it and figure it out, total bull and you are ******* customers off. Call them from a recognized number or do not call them at all.
This is just like the problem I called about a few weeks ago where you allow $3 to be charged by your company representatives (Verizon brick and mortar store) to process a CASH payment, how stupid is that? IT'S CASH!!! DAH! Dumbest thing I've ever heard, and yes it is your responsibility regardless or your insistence that they are franchised, you allow them to access your system to process the payments, that is totally on you and to say otherwise is just a lie.
Again, I and most customers consider these type of unrequested unrecognized calls a form of harassment. If you are trying to improve your processes and customer relations, you are going about it in completely the wrong way!

I got a call today from this number - since I use my phone as a business phone and do get calls from clients or potential clients that I do not have in my contact list (yet), I DO answer calls where I do not recognize the number.
I answered it, it was a survey, took about 3 minutes to punch in a few numbers, and then hang up. They probably won't call again unless I call customer service again, which was what triggered this call today.
You've done the research, take the survey and be done with it.

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example signatures tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

HT1245 Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s.

Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s. I have looked onlime at several threads and there are no real answers as to what I need to do or am doing wrong.

I am also having this issue.
I've just spoken to someone in the Apple Support Centre who advised me that since the product is in beta, he is unable to assist. I wanted to find out whether someone was able to delete the data for me, or 'reset' the photos app somehow. This apparently cannot be done. He suggested I provide feedback via the feedback page, which I will do, but to be honest doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence in the issue being fixed.
I also deactivated the service and waited the 30 days for the pictures to be deleted - this should have been completed in mid-January. Instead, my iCloud.com Photos page is now showing the photos that should have been deleted as grey squares, just as you described. I am also unable to delete these photos; every time I try, I get the same message about a server error.
I am also unable to disable the service by enabling and then disabling it on my iPhone. Each time I have tried this it hangs on uploading for several hours, with the progress bar not moving at all. When I disable it on my iPhone, the web app remains unchanged.
If anyone has had this issue and has managed to fix it, PLEASE share your wisdom. I am out of patience!

Why does Verizon not provide 3G coverage in Western Maryland (Garrett County) and why does it not have an agreement with US Cellular for such coverage?

Thanks for the zip code pfekete. I looked into the coverage in your area and I do see you are in an extended 1X data coverage which explains why you're not connecting to 3G. What phone do you have? We may be able to advise you on how to adjust the settings so it picks up the strongest signal. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Verizon wi fi for hot spots does not work with Windows 8. For verification go to FAQs about Verizon Wi-Fi for FiOS Internet,

Since you can't even download the wi fi for hot spots software if you have Windows 8, I don't know how to use compatability mode to get around the problem,

Why does Calendar keep reverting from full screen each time I exit the app?

On my older Macbook at work, calendar stays full screen whether I exit the app or restart the computer (similar to Mail - which is staying in full screen on both computers).
Please help me adjust settings so I don't have to keep putting Calendar into full screen.
Thanks!

Why does sync remove songs from iPod?

why does sync remove songs from iPod? My itune library lost songs with an ! symbol.

It means iTunes can no longer locate those particular files at the specified location on your PC's hard drive. So you'll need to search for these track's on your PC and re-import these tracks from their new location.

Why does Verizon charge me $30 to buy a new phone and renew my two year plan?

Why does Verizon charge me $30 to buy a new phone and renew my two year plan? That seems counter-intelligent in a day where other carriers are begging for my business. I've been a customer for 10 years but am considering switching on principle.

I'm sending my bill in exchange for a provided service. The activation fee is garbage, and IMO, if smaller carriers can live without it (because they are), Verizon doesn't need to charge it. Frankly, I'm tired of people settling because "The fee isn't going away." If you agree with it, so be it, but you're the minority.
You are correct, just because other people do it, doesn't make it right. It also "doesn't make it wrong".
Verizon has chosen a price they charge for providing a service. Part of that price is an "upgrade" fee if you choose to purchase a phone at a ~$400 discount. ALL this is doing is lowering the amount of discount on the phone. It is, however, the price Verizon has set to provide their service. You are paying it in exchange for that provided service. You may not agree with it, that is your choice and are free to go elsewhere. If you are in the position to pay this "upgrade" fee, you are NOT under contract and are free to change without penalty. Your choice. If you pay it, you have made your choice.
Yes, other "smaller carriers" can live without it because they are forced to, not because they "want" to or because it is "right". They have to have some sort of incentive to attract customers. The bigger carriers do this by providing a larger footprint for their service. Smaller carriers cannot do so and have to resort to other methods. Lower price is one of those. There are trade-offs in life. Choose your trade-offs. I prefer to pay a slightly higher price for more reliable service. I have been with several providers in the past, Verizon provides me the most reliable service of those I have tried.

Why does deleting a photo from Photo Stream on my iPad also delete them from the album I just copied them to?

I'm working hard a mastering the details of icloud and iPhoto. I would like to have a well designed sets of pictures to carry around on the iPad, but after months it seems I'm still surprised when I open my photo app. Pictures I don't care about are there; pictures I tried to have available to show are missing. Well, I'm slowly working through it. This is not my main question today but a referral to a good info source(s) would appreciated.
So why does it happen that when I copy pictures from Photo Stream to an existing album, then go and delete them from photo stream, they pictures are deleted from the album where I thought they would be safe?
Thank you!

Pictures on Photo Stream remain there for only 30 days by design. So if you setup PS on your Mac and add photos to it they will display on the iPad. However, to remain on the iPad you will have to move them to the Camera Roll (I only have an iPhone and that's what it's called on it) in order to keep them permanently. This screenshot shows the save options on the iPhone when photos in the Photo Stream are seledted. Notice the option in the lower right hand corner:
It probably is similar on the iPad.
Or, you can put the photos in an album in iPhoto and connect the iPad to your Mac. Open iTunes and go to the iPad's Pictures section. There you can select the album in iPhoto and sync those photos to the iPad where they will be in the Camera Roll section.l

Why does my artwork disappear from my ipod?   It's all visible in itunes, but on the ipod nano it disappears.

Why does my artwork keep disappearing from my ipod?   It's all visible in itunes, but on the ipod nano it when I copy over new albums with artwork, the artwork on the albums already on the ipod lose theirs, although they retain the artwork if viewed through itunes.
In case it matters, I don't "sync" my "library". I have a I have a PC and copy over directories containing albums of MP3 files by dragging them onto the ipod with itunes. I also tried pulling over only the files and not the directories.

OK, so I decided that maybe if I "sync" my iPod instead of just copying stuff to it at will, that maybe it would fix the problem. I did a "restore", wiping out the contents. I set up a "playlist", and put everything that I wanted on the iPod into the "playlist".   Then I "synced" the "playlist" onto the iPod. Every song and album now had the proper album art. I could live with this.   Then I added another album to the "playlist", and "synced". The new album was now on the iPod with the correct artwork. The albums that were already on the iPod now either had their appropriate artwork, no artwork, or the artwork from the other albums that were already on the iPod, with no rhyme or reason as to which was which. AARGH.   I wiped it out and re-added the now-explanded "playlist" and "synced" again, and every album had the right cover.   I guess the only thing to do is completely replace the contents of the iPod any time I want to add or change anything, or forget about artwork.

Why does Verizon shuffle arond local channels?

I have a question.
Now, I currently have DirecTV but I've been thinking about getting Verizon FiOS when it is finally available in my area. One thing though that I'm noticing about Verizon is they appear to be doing this same crazy practice that the local Cable Companies does... It drove me crazy all the time... Basically, it is where they shift all the local channel numbers around so you have to keep stopping to think about where the channel has been moved to.
For example in the Boston, the local terrestrial channels are like this.
2(WGBH), 4(WWBZ), 5(WCVB), 7(WHDH), 11(PBS New Hampshire), 25(WFXT), ... 44(WGBX), 56(WLVI) 62, 68,etc. Simple enough. Now thankfully DirecTV keeps this same pattern...
However on Verizon for say the city of Belmont, MA (Zipcode "02476") the channel lineup is like this.. 38 comes in on 3. 25 comes in on 8. 56 jumps to 12... etc. No kind of normalcy basically....
Why did Verizon do this????I see they already have channels going over 1000 so why didn't they vacate 0-99 nationally so the local channels can fall into their correct slot and then start the cable stations like say above channel 99???
In having DirecTV, I've noticed the way that company gets around needing to shift all the local channels all over is they start all of their cable TV stations above channel 99. This leaves 2-99 as open- so that the local channel can goto its correct allotment anywhere in the USA. It just seems logical to leave the local channels in their true slot so I'm wondering what was soo appealing about this type of format where everything gets scattered all over.
Does anyone have some idea of what I'm missing and perhaps if there's some kind of method to this madness-- which I've never quite understood?
~J. P.

I'm glad I was able to reassure you, but I now think I went too far. Looking at your channel listings you provide, Verizon has some major problems to make it all line up. And looking in more detail at ours, it isn't as simple as I made it out to be.
Verizon, IMO to their credit, has tried to standardize channel assignments for most everything around the country. Easier for them I suspect. Anyway, they start their SD cable channels at 50 in most places, I think; that means that UHF channels 50 and above must be relocated somewhere, and they do that, down into the low range. Here in Texas, some of the higher broadcast channels, but not all, are relocated - 27 to 7, 33 to 9, 39 to 10, etc, while 21 is on 21, 29 is on 29, etc.Verizon puts the local PEG cable channels at 30-47, then TV Guide at 48, and local weather at 49, then the real cable channels 50 and above. So all of the local broadcast channels that they carry are reloacated if necessary to below 30 here.
The HD channels (the ones that do offer HD channels) do follow the scheme I mentioned, local + 500.
When I made my statement earlier, I was really thinking of the "major" channels (ABC, CBS, FOX, PBS, etc), because those are pretty much the only local channels I watch, I forgot about all of the various smaller channels (religeous, Spanish language, etc) that they do carry. Sorry, I really didn't mean to make a mistake, I should have actually looked at the lineup first.

In iPhoto why does a slide show from an album run in reverse?

Under OSX 10.9 in iPhoto why does a slideshow from an album run in reverse?

Two tests:
A:
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
B:
Log into another user account and try a slideshow from there. Does the problem persist there?
