Why not just have phone delivered?

I was just looking at posts here and on att and see a lot of people are reserving to pick up at the store. My question is why? I figure it's a lot of hassle to "camp out" to pick up the phone instead of just having it delivered to your house or work.

Instant gratification. Lack of trust in shipping. Not home to accept shipment. I'm certain there are a number of reasons.
I had originally planned to pick up in store becaue I'm due to catch a plane later in the evening on 6/24 - my mail runs late. Made a reservation online - only to call the store later yesterday evening to confirm and they had no record of my reservation. So... I opted to buy it through AT&T. If I'm not home when it delivers, it will be waiting for me when I return.

I guess time will come...but I don't see the main point of having two sim cards on a phone at the same time?
Knowing the phone won't let this go on, Can you take up two calls at the same time? Probably not.

Want to just have phone numbers on phone can you have different groups with and email group as well

The iPhone remembers information about previous contacts.
Complelely independently, you have a Contacts app with a contacts list. It sounds like your contacts list has 3 names on it. You need to add a few names.

Why can I not just have a new phone.

I am on my 3 refurbished replacement phone and am starting to get fustrated with Verizon. Every refurbished Galaxy S III that has been sent to me has had a different malfunction. Why can't I just have a new phone enstead of a refurbished one.

I do carry the insurance and you are right about the contract but I am still fustrated that out of 3 replacement phones, all 3 have something wrong with them. And yes I did get my original phone at a discount price but it was still $300+ so it should of lasted longer than 6 to 7 months.
Yes, it should, that's why they have a warranty, and the warranty says that after 14 days and up to 1 year, they will replace it with a refurbished device.
If you buy a new car and have problems with the transmission after 6 months, do they give you a new car, or "refurbish" the one you have? (It's not like Verizon is doing something "new and different" with their warranty)

How do i get photos to save directly into my cloud not just my phone?

i purchased extra room on my iCloud and turned on photo stream on my devices. i did this so my photos would be stored on the cloud because i always run out of storage on my phone. firstly, how do i get pictures to start automatically saving into the photo stream? and how do i get photos to save directly into the cloud and not just on my device? I have my cloud connected between my macbook, ipad and iphone. i have mountain lion on my macbook, my ipad was just purchased last week so should be up to date, and have downloaded and installed the most up to date software on my phone.

Hello zampass,
Photos do not take up space on your iCloud storage. Photo Stream is seperate from iCloud storage.
Does Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?
No. Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or Shared Photo Streams do not count against your iCloud storage.
From: iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
I would recommend turning on Photo Stream, outlined in the same FAQ:
How do I turn on Photo Stream?
Once your devices are up to date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy turn on Photo Stream on any of your devices. Here’s how:
On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and turn on My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams.
On your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud and select the checkbox for Photo Stream. Click the Options button to verify that both My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are enabled. Then, open iPhoto or Aperture to confirm that My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams are turned on in the application you want to use with Photo Stream. You can also adjust your Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
And tell iPhoto to automatically Import the photos to the computer from Photo Stream in the iPhoto Preferences:
That way your Photo stream items will always Automatically download to your computer and you can sync them to whatever device you choose.
When all that is setup, you can delete newer photos as you take them or periodically from the Camera Roll to free up space.
Keep this in mind from the FAQ:
What photo formats does Photo Stream support?
Photo Stream supports JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and most RAW photo formats. Photo Stream does not work with video.
Take care,
Sterling

Adobe - why not just release an MSI for every Reader revision???!?!?

Why do Adobe have a policy of publishing an MSI for major Reader releases but only MSP's for revisions?
If Adobe simply published an MSI for every revision (e.g. 11.0.09) it would avoid customers having to slipstream MSPs into MSIs which is a real pain in the backside.
There must be a reason why Adobe have decided to complicate deployment for minor revisions so I'd love to hear what it is.
Thanks

Howdy. Mostly if an employee shows up in here, it's someone from support and not any of the folks that would need to see this.

Good luck.

Why not just do "Upgrade and Install"? From 10.2.8 to 10.3.5

Ready to install 10.3.5, but am a little overwhelmed with different advice. No one recommends the "Upgrade & Install" method. When researching many posts, was wondering why not? It looks like it won't affect anything on my imac G4 except to upgrade the necessary system stuff. Is this true?
Am mostly concerned about time - and having to reinstall printer drivers, my dsl connections, support files for OS 9.2 apps, etc. I am not having any problems with my 10.2.8, simply want to upgrade for the newer Safari browser, etc.
Thanks for any help.

You certainly can do an Upgrade install of Panther over your Jaguar installation. It will not affect your OS 9 installation. However, before you do so be sure to do the following:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.0.6 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
As always you should make a bootable backup of your current system as a precaution. You can do this using a utility called Carbon Copy Cloner (www.versiontracker.com) and an external Firewire drive.

Is it ok not to have phone in the dock?

Is it ok to plug my phone into just the cord and not the dock, this way i can keep my case on. Is there any difference besides just having it sit up in the docking station.

Since I don't have a desktop, I never use the iPhone dock - I use the cable only - for charging my iPhone and Apple bluetooth headset and for syncing.

Why not just use UDP?

I have UDP code written in Java that listens to an IP address and port number containing data being sent to that IP and port number. Why wouldn't I just continue to use the traditional UDP paradigm instead of JMS? My ReceiveSocket class creates a new java.net.MulticastSocket instance, creates a new DatagramPacket for reading the bytes, and then takes the datagram packet as input:
private MulticastSocket m_socket = new MulticastSocket( m_receivePort );
private DatagramPacket m_packet = new DatagramPacket( buf, buf.length );
m_socket.receive( m_packet );
I'm able to receive the data being sent and process it. Can someone explain the benefits of the JMS approach?
Thanks!

I would add to Steve's points that the difference in technical specification between UDP and TCP is that TCP guarantees delivery, in order, for messages that are too large to fit in one packet. UDP does not guarantee delivery, or the order of the packets, but it is much faster than TCP.
It is easy to imagine an application that may want guarantees for some data, and does not care for other data. To address this situation, some implementations of JMS go beyond the specification and provide features to allow non-guaranteed data transfer. For instance, I have been using Sun Java System Message Queue which allows NO_ACKNOWLEDGE which increases performance at the cost of reliability.

Can I switch my phone number between two lines(not just between phones)?

I have 4 months left on my current plan. I would like to take advantage of current holiday sales to get the droid razr for cheap. I am considering adding an additional line to my plan to get the upgrade. The problem with this is that I either have to use the new number and let my other contract end or continue on with my current number and pay for 2 lines for the next 2 years. I noticed that verizon lets you switch the phone number that is associated with your line. Would I be able to add an additional line to my plan and then switch the numbers between these two lines? Essential line A has number A and ends in 4 months, line B has number B and ends in 20 months, and I want to make it so that line B has number A and then only pay for line A for the next 4 months. Is this possible?

Verizon does not allow you to switch numbers since they are tied to your contact. However, there's a work around, because Verizon does allow you to port a number from another carrier to overwrite the existing number without changing your contract. So here's what you need to do:
1. Get the Razr cheap like you wanted on a secondary line;
2. Wait for 4 months so your main line contract is up;
3. Port out your main line number to another carrier, for example, Pageplus;
4. Wait till your bill cycle is passed and port that number from Pageplus to Verizon, overwrite the number on secondary line.
After step 4 you will have your main number back on the line with the Razr.

RoboHelp 9 Publish to SharePoint - why not just change output folder?

Hello,
For publishing my help to SharePoint, I was not able to get the video publishing to SharePoint to play, but tried to follow what written instructions I could find. and they didn't work. However, I was able to publish directly to SharePoint by simply changing the "Output folder and Start page" on the "General" WebHelp single source layout settings page. I just made the files go directly to the SharePoint document library - into an empty folder I placed there. Here is the path I used: \\sharepoint\HR\HCMHRResources\OnlineHelp\HRSpace\index.htm It seems to work fine. Is there any reason I should not do it this way?

Oops... my bad My Bad MY BAD!
That will teach me to reply without fully comprehending the thread. I was thinking you were referring to typing the UNC address into the publish destination field. But after looking at it again it seems you are talking about where WebHelp is generated.
Actually you DO NOT want to work that way. Here's why.
If you are placing content on a shared medium, odds are that users are accessing it from there, no? The first steps in the generation process involve removing the content from the folder in preparation for receiving a new round of content. And as you may imagine, if users are looking at the information and suddenly it's deleted, it's going to cause issues.
You always want to generate to your local hard drive. Then copy that content from your generated location to the server. And that's what Publish (which is what I thought you were doing) accomplishes.
Cheers... Rick

Why did the Apple Store replace the iPad mini when the firmware was corrupt -- why not just fix the firmware?

The iPad mini would not turn on - so I scheduled an appointment with the Genius Bar. Why did they say the only solution was a replacement iPad mini- couldn't the firmware be corrected (re-installed or something?)
Problem Description/Diagnosis
Issue: iPad display is black
Steps to Reproduce: Plugged into the computer to do a restore and there was an error message saying the firmware is corrupt
Cosmetic Condition: iPad appears to be in good condition
Contact Apple Support Case: 697280685
Employee 929551133

The iPad mini was not still under warranty -- so they charged me $199 -- and I did not ask because the way they said it, there was not an option. When I got home and checked, it appears that there should have been an option to re-install the firmware.

Why not just wait?

Why the rush to update to IOS5? As with all software updates, give it a few days (or weeks), let early adopters work through the bugs, let Apple sort things out, then update your device when things are stable. I understand some want the latest and greatest immediately, but personally, even though I'm a technical person, I don't want the headaches nor do I want to spend hours of my life troubleshooting this kind of stuff.
Just a thought.
Best of luck

Your advice is very sensible and prudent and just what I have been giving most people. I, on the other hand, am neither sensible or prudent and spend 4 hours updating my iPhone!
