Why is so hard to get a good deal when it's time to upgrade!

I dont understand this at all, All I Want is to get the same service plans as my neighbors and family. I have been a Verizon Fios customer since the service was introduced years ago. And, I was never happier, until it came time to upgrade. And it happens every time.
Tonight for instace I again tried to get a better deal. So I checked what was being offered to me on the website. For basically the same service, It's more expensive! So I found a great deal online, I called in this time. Apparently the deal is only available to NEW customers. So I attempt to explain what I use, Limited cable, the normal main channels. I mainly use my Apple TV and stream. So I was offered a cheaper plan,with adeal for HBO. (Sweet)
An hour later - the wife screaming she is missing a few " Normal " Channels - MTV, Animal Planet, Cooking... Basically ALL the channels worth watching to her. So, I called back and canceled the order. This sucks!
As it turns out, it's cheaper for me to keep my existing service. The only offer you gave me was for faster internet, and it cost more! It is completely disheartening to know that I recommended your services to friends and clients.
Why is it so hard to sign on to a better deal when it's time to re-commit to your service. You make such good offers, but they are only available to new customers. Loyalty really does mean nothing today. Not just because I pay my bill, but because I believed in it enough to tell others about this service and how happy i WAS on a daily basis.
I hate Comcast with every bone in my body. But if I can't get a deal where I can be happy with not selling my soul, Ill go to them.
Just state what it is - Why are you hiding the fact that Basic Cable is Basic Cable. Labeling everything with HD is misleading and almost a direct point to mislead a customer. It's like saying water is just as good as beer, they start from the same state.
Not everyone is looking at the web page when talking on the phone.
MTV and Animal planet are "Premium Channels" - What?
I have had the same hardware since I started, Everything I own is wireless so up and download speed are totally dependent on what is connected. But since I use my own hardware my personal network is faster. The up/Down connection won't make a difference. So upping my speed is not a benefit unless you are planning to install fiber for me in my walls, i have the hardware.
Hire someone that knows Mac's - I get tired of answering questions for you all day.

I recently called and was offered an upgrade with fios perferred hd, 75/75 internet, and 2 yrs free for all movie channels for $118 a month. I called to complain that I cant pay my bill online and their first response was to see how they can upgrade my services. Keep calling and hope you get a good rep.

Can I upgrade both lines and get a good deal

Can I upgrade both lines and get a very good deal even though only one line is eligible for the upgrade

What exactly do you mean by a "very good deal"? Discounts for BOTH lines??
If only one line is eligible for an upgrade, then you can only get a discounted phone for that line. You can get a new phone for the in-eligible line if you pay full price.
You'll be able to take advantage of the BOGO deals and other discounts when BOTH lines are eligible.

Power Supply Help for 466mhz G4 - where can i get a good deal.

I need to find a replacement for the power supply in the machine. It is an original 466mhz g4, agp graphics. The power supply says 126w max and had AC BEL on it.
Can anyone help me out in finding a cheap place to get a power supply that fits this machine perfectly? Looking for a reputable dealer (obviously).
Thanx in advance.

Hi Nelson,
You're machine is a Digital Audio (the only G4 to have shipped with 466MHz processors), and the PSU is 338W - which should be adequate for most things. Why do you need a new power supply?
If you need a new one, it won't be cheap. You can try this place:

Hope this helps,

Why do i suddenly keep getting the buffering wheel when playing videos in watchserie site

just in the last few days I get the intermintint buffering wheel while playing the video, I updated Adobe plug in that needed updated, but hasn't helped yet. I turned my volume setting up a few days ago but wouldn't think that would cause a problem. Seems to be only this site watchserie.ch where problem is but its a great site for old tv shows

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Updated ios 8.1 now my screen is stuck on connect to itunes, I don't have a computer to do this and Apple is stating that my device is out of warranty so they want me to pay $19 to get it looked at when it is APPLE's upgrade

So upgraded my ipad and now I can't use it at all, can't get any support from Apple because it is past the 1 year, this is crazy because it is Apple's product and Apple's upgrade, NOT my fault. Screen is stuck on connect to iTunes but cannot get it to un stick. UGH!

If you ever want to be able to use the iPad again, you have to connect it to a computer running iTunes to restore it. Your iPad is in recovery mode and nothing can be done for it over the phone anyway. You can blame Apple for the problem if you want to, but that's not going to change anything.
Take your iPad to a friend or relatives's house that has a computer running iTunes and restore your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. I don't think that you have to pay for a Genius Bar visit. Phone support is a different story.
IF you have an iCloud backup, you will be able to restore the backup after you get the iPad up and running again. If you have no backup, you will have to start all over again.

Am getting the following message when trying to download latest upgrade. "a problem with Windows Installer Package, a program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected" Upgrade did not happen. Any suggestions ?

Am getting a message when downloading latest iTunes upgrade:
"There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package.
A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected"
It doesn't give me any specific information about what or where the problem is.
Any Suggestions

Repair your Apple Software Update.
Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install
If you don't find ASU in All Program, go to Control Panel, Add & Remove programs and repair it.

Getting a MBP 2007 to OS X 10.9, upgrade path hangs

I am trying to upgrade a MBP 2007 from a family member from Tiger (which it was still running) to 10.9 (which is possible). My planned upgradev route is:
Upgrade to 10.5 Leopard
Upgrade to latest 10.5.x Leopard (because I suspect the upgrade to 10.6 will run better when 10.5 is fully updated)
Run iTunes on the user account to update the iTunes database
Upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard
Upgrade to latest 10.6.x Snow Leopard
Run iTunes on the user account to update the iTunes database
Use the App store for further upgrades
I am stuck at step 2. I was able to upgrade to 10.5, then I ran Software Update and got three updates (iTunes, Photo Booth and 10.5.x Combo). The first two were successfully installed it seems, but the 10.5.x Combo hangs (after reboot) forever on 'Configuring Installation'. I need to force-shutdown the MBP and after reboot I am still at 10.5.0. And as th enewer iTunes has been installed, I cannot start it up and upgrade the user's library.
Are individual 10.5.1 etc. installs still available somewhere? I could try these.
Otherwise and in any case: Help?
Thanks

I did get that error message when I first tried to upgrade 10.4.11 with the 10.6 disk. I cannot reproduce because in the meantime, the system has been upgraded to 10.5.
I recall that I was also unable to boot directly from the 10.6 disk. It is a white disc, btw.
I've taken the plunge and am now installing 10.6 on top of 10.5.0 directly. Then I need to upgrade iTunes and hope the 10.4.11 iTunes Library version can be upgraded.
In the worst case, I have created a volume DMG from the original starup disk using TDM and another Mac.
Woops. I just see that I've accidentally started the upgrade from a wrong 10.6 disk, I've written 'MBA Only' on the envelope of that one and it is the one in the envelope labeled 'not for resale'. Hmm, now I understand why I could not boot from that one. It can only boot my (old) MBA. But using it as upgrade disk seems to work. Still keeping my fingers crossed.

Good deal?

Is this hard drive a good deal? I'm thinking about upgrading and was wondering if I need 5400 or 7200 rpm...

You would have a little problem wedging that one in a MacBook. It's a 3.5" drive. You need a 2.5" SATA for a MacBook.

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

Why is it still so hard to get into safe mode?

One of the worst features in Windows 8 is the many, many steps it takes to boot into safe mode... and it doesn't always get you there. And sadly, Microsoft has brought that into the Windows 10 preview.
Let's be real for a second. Safe mode is a valuable tool for it techs, and can be helpful to the home user. Getting there is a friggin' nightmare in Windows 8, and it's no easier in windows 10. The UEFI bios and boot manager doesn't help either.
Bring back a functioning F8 key, will ya?
On another note, why the hell can't you boot from a linux-based cd and find the windows 8/10 based OS. Microsoft's virus removal tools are useless if you can't boot into Windows... and "refreshing" the drive also ONLY works if you can load the
Operating system.Pulling the hard-drive to scan it for virus removal should not be necessary, but it seems to be with Windows 8, 8.1 and 10.

Ran across this article after putting the 10 Tech Preview on my computer last week. Started off with build 9741 and now have 9879 and I just want to totally agree with the poster that Microsoft seems to have forgotten what safe mode is used for, mostly troubleshooting
when something goes wrong and keeps our computers from booting. I stayed away from both 8 and 8.1 and have stayed with 7. So far the tech preview looks OK, and I like the return of the start menu as well as many other familiar Win 7 features and controls.
But, even with 7, I've had endless hours wasted trying to fix the counterintuitive way that Microsoft seems to think (or not think) regarding these sort of issues. I'll gladly give up a couple (or even 30) seconds to have the option to boot into safe mode.
I've fought with Microsoft over and over again about the way they keep trying to automate troubleshooting even when there are very simple manual fixes. Sometimes it seems like they want to just keep users from having the control we want over how our system
works. And it this case it's just plain stupid that you can't choose to boot directly to safe mode by default from a preloading boot menu. Win 7 had terrible problems with "Bootmgr is missing" after even the simplest of issues such as adding files
to a USB or just a bad defrag or user mistake. I spent hours pulling my hair out after such issues and eventually got myself into a hole because of the way Microsoft looked at the issue. 99% of the time I could have fixed my issue by being able to do a repair
install from startup and it never made sense that you could only do an in place or "upgrade" install as they started calling it, If you can already boot into Windows. Lots of good that does when you can't get Windows to boot in the first place. And
so far the Startup repair in Tech preview is just as useless as in Win 7. Except now it's even harder to get to. I played with it a bit to test it and just a simple thing like moving the bootmgr one file down in the directory or just adding 1 small file out
of place was enough to make tech preview unbootable as well when using the older MBR setups. The new startup repair hasn't fixed it once. I don't know what the refresh really does as it doesnt work either. Gives a vague error with no link to a log and no other
information provided , so dont know where to troubleshoot that one. Win 7 's startup repair almost never worked for me until I learned the trick to run it at least 3 times with reboots and running SFC /offbootdir /offwindir in the middle. All of those
problems could have been fixed by simply allowing us to boot from the install media to re-install without loosing data. I'm glad to see that at least for now you can do a repair install from boot in the current version of 10 Tech Prev. Please keep that for
the later rollout, Microsoft. And stop messing with Safemode, please! I just made the edits to bcdedit to enable the legacy boot so I hope it works. I know it's still early but so far the Tech Preview has been a real challenge. I ran into issues on Win 7 with
missing Vredist C++ files coming up missing after trying to get DirectX 10 to work. There is a stupid loophole there that Direct X will make you delete allx86 and x64 C++ runtimes that it doesn't like, in this case it wouldnt install with the
2005 SP1 C++ redists. After I deleted them to install the Direct X I ran into a whole hell of an issue with corrupted files due to missing components from the 2005 redistribs that Win 7 would basically shutdown and slowly corrupt everything if
any component of that package was missing and then would not allow you to reinstall them if your system was higher than XP yet would not fix corruptions until they were installed. I'm still trying to side fix my Win 7 installs on my other disks as I consitently
cant get certain 2005 C++ redistribs to install. Now having big problems with massive corruptions in Tech Prev, to the point that it becomes totally non responsive and icons and folders almost totally go away in a very short period of time. DISM was
pretty limited in Win 7 so I'm trying to get onto that but the commands are kind of confusing me and it doesn't work consistently and I thing the online store components are not being made available for repair as I get a lot of "failed to obtain image
from provider" messages and it's giving me a lot of problems when I try to mount my iso as a wim file. Hate to say it but I've been working with 10 Tech preview on 2 computers (test out homegroup) and I've installed and reinstalled at least 5 times on
each computer but within 30 minutes of a good install its corrupted again and Dism will stop working all together. Anyway, wish they'd stop messing with our tools. Bring back safemode by default guys.

Why is so hard to get a good deal when it's time to upgrade!
