Why is it so hard to get back to a support message after logging in?

When I get a message saying there's a reply to a discussion here, I click on the link to get to that discussion.    It says I have to log on in order to reply, and I do so - but it leaves me in a different screen.   If I page back, it thinks I'm logged off again.   If I link back, it thinks I'm logged off again.
Why can't this web site let me log on and keep me logged on at the screen from which I clicked the log on link?

  • For a communications company why is it so hard to get a phone number to talk to a real person?

    Verizon is a communications company: why is it so hard to get a phone number to talk to a real person? Why when I call to set up a payment plan I get an auto response the sets up my payment date with no option to decline? Why hasn't the FCC shut this company down for breech of contract and lying to its customers?

    Breach of contract? You are in breach of contract by not paying for services rendered.
    Why should you be late paying an invoice and yet expect Verizon to keep your device on? You are breaching the contract.
    #PMT from your device gives you an option for payment arrangements. The system more than likely can only extend the due dates by a certain number of days.
    *611 or 1-800-922-0204 and ask to speak to financial services and ask them to extend the date.
    Verizon would be out of business if everyone just paid them when they please.
    Good Luck

    Stateful session beans are not persisted across restart of the EJB server instance(s) hosting them. You can't treat a Session bean as one would an entity bean.

  • Getting itunes has stopped working message after downloading to Windows 8.1

    Getting ITunes has stopped working message after 10 seconds after downloading to Windows 8.1

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Why is it so hard to get Verizon to offer an alternative phone?

    Hello,
    I've been lurking this board for a long time, and my Fascinate has had nothing but problems.
    1. The phone randomly decides to hit the back button on it's own multiple times, resulting in screencaptures.  This has not been fixed for me no matter what apps I use or how many times I reset my phone.  Have you ever been in a college library and tried to put your phone in standby only to hear the camera shutter noise? Everyone thinks you're creepy and that you're taking pictures of strangers. It's an embarassment.
    2. Sometimes when I hit the phone icon it takes me to a black screen. Let me tell you: My cellPHONE will not let me make PHONE calls. This makes the device completely useless. 
    3. Sometimes I send texts to about 15 different people to confirm plans for the night, get no response at all. No texts from anybody. I wake up the next morning thinking I did something wrong and ruined relationships until I do a battery pull. Then when it starts back up it SENDS THEM THEN. Then I get a ton of confused friends wondering where I was and why they never heard back from me. 
    4. I have 4 different friends with the SAME EXACT ISSUES on this SAME EXACT MODEL of phone.
    I am fully updated and I have never rooted this phone.
    Why is it so hard for verizon to just send me a refurbished Droid X2 or Incredible 2? It can't cost that much more! 
    Please, if any verizon employee sees this I would love if you could help me out. The people I've spoken to on the phone only offered to send me another Fascinate. It's NOT what I need. I have been a Verizon customer for a long time and I'm thoroughly disappointed that you can't help me out by kicking me a refurb of a different model. 

    Hello ILikeColdPizza!
    Sounds like you've gone through a great deal of trouble with your device.  I would like to see if we can get your phone working the way it should.
    The manufacturers warranty is a no cost option that replaces the device with the same make and model, considering the device is experiencing an electrical/mechanical defect.  This is what the manufacturers cover under the standard one year warranty.  When your device does not function as intended and is defective, we intern lift this up to the manufacturer to recoup our losses.  This is the reason for the same model exchange policy.  In the meantime, I would like to further troubleshoot your device to ensure we've resolved all the issues you're experiencing.
    Have you confirmed your Fascinate is running the most recent software version?  The current version would be i500.EH03, which is Gingerbread.  If not, please update software.  A lot of the issues you are experiencing were resolved in the latest update.  If you are still experiencing issues with your device after updating the software, please let me know so I can go over other options.

  • Why is it so hard to get iTunes to find my library?

    <rant>I don't understand why it's so difficult to get iTunes to find an existing library after a move. I wish I had left this alone from the beginning. Had I known it would be this hard, I wouldn't have done this.</rant>
    I have tried to move my iTunes folder from beneath my home folder to the root. After following some instructions to get this moved (I forget the link), iTunes thinks my songs are in the trash. I verified this by looking at the iTunes Library.xml file, and saw the songs linked to the songs in the trash.
    So now that I've deleted my trash, all of my songs are showing up with exclamation points, saying it can't find the original song. If I locate an individual song in the new folder, it works fine. But I have thousands of songs, and have little interest in doing this for my whole library.
    I've tried manually updating the iTunes Library.xml file, pointing them to the proper location, but I've figured out iTunes doesn't really use this file -- it uses the binary "iTunes Library" (with no extension) file, which I can't edit (thanks Apple).
    I've also tried the option+start trick to point it to the new library (at several different points along the way), and it still thinks my songs are in the trash, I believe.
    I can only assume that this has something to do with digital rights, and them not making it easy to copy music, but for us legit people, this is really a pain.
    So is there a way to get this back? Or, am I left to wiping out my library, and having iTunes import my songs from scratch, and lose all of my metadata and album art?
    Also once again, why is this so hard anyway? Has Apple not seen the tons of blogs and discussions on this very topic enough to warrant actually addressing this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank Chris and Diane.
    After looking into this more, it looks like after transferring my media folder, I also moved my iTunes library to the root following this article:
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/
    Somehow, something got missed (though I'm almost positive I followed that first Apple support article). Anyway, my fix was this:
    1) Move my iTunes media folder back to the exact trash location it thought the songs should be in, and confirmed that the songs were once again found through iTunes.
    2) Follow the Apple support article, relocated my iTunes Media folder from the trash to the desired folder in the root
    3) Moved my iTunes Library back to my home folder following the iLounge article above (move physical files, then option-open iTunes and point the library to the new location).
    Once I did this, everything is as I wanted it.
    By the way, Chris, the reason I want my iTunes in the root of my external rather than under the Home/Shared, is because I want my songs on the external, and my Shared folder is on my internal. I want to keep all my large files on my external.
    Also, Diane, what I meant by digital rights issue, I didn't mean this was the cause of my problem, but rather speculating this was the reason Apple made it so hard to relocate your media files. Again, that was just speculation, I obviously have no way of knowing. It just seems unreasonably hard to relocate your iTunes songs (or even just tell iTunes where they are after it lost them) because Apple seems to try to make users' lives easier, not harder.
    Anyway, thanks again for the help.

  • Why is it so hard to get reqular updates to Service Requests

    I have a number of Service requests that have been running for a long while with no updates.
    That is despite my posting requests for updates and hanging for extended periods of time on the "chat" facility (usually in vain as no-one picks up the chat thread).
    In a couple of cases I have done extensive pre-work and built repeatable test cases etc so there should not be any siginificant delay in getting these issue esculated to the back line for support. If they have been escalated, there is no sign in the SR records.
    It's probably "bad form" but here are specific SR numbers that show the lack of customer feedback..
    10891239511, 10891256291 & 10891420901
    In the latter case i was able to get the SR re-assinged to a new support tech who seemed helpful and promised to send me aun update... then... silence...
    This is very unprofessional as I too have customers and they DEMAND regular updates to any incidents that I'm working on, so this leave me "hanging" which reflects both badly on Me and also on the Attachmate group of companies (Novell, NetIQ, SUSE).
    All I ask is that SR's get regularly updates, even if it's "awaiting backline engineer response , will update in 5 days if they do not respond sooner".

    Most of the time I get good responses to my SRs and I leave feedback
    stating so. The few times I haven't, I push for escalation or I
    contact others I know at Novell and usually it gets resolved. And
    then I also leave feedback about that. NTS isn't perfect, but most of
    the time I am pleased with support.
