Why, Oh Why can't Verizon get me the new Pre???!!!!

Why is it, that all the nice new smart phones end up getting a sweet deal to an exclusive network?  Verizon is the best and most reliable network in my geographical location, and I can't get the phone I want!!!
I'm not degrading AT&T at all, I just want the new Pre, and just like NOT being able to try an I-Phone, I can't try the Pre!  
I was a die-hard Palm Treo user for 5 yrs, until I finally heard that there wasn't going to be anymore Palm phones introduced, and two months later.....BAM, the new Pre gets introduced!  So, here I am, stuck using a windows mobile 6.1 piece of junk, and I'm frustrated!  What's a guy to do?
Sorry for my rant. lol

  • I have a new macbook pro and an LG w2361v monitor.  The max resolution the mac is allowing me to set is 1400x1050, why can't I get to the max resolution the monitor can accept (1900x1080)

    I have a new macbook pro and an LG w2361v monitor.  The max resolution the mac is allowing me to set is 1400x1050, why can't I get to the max resolution the monitor can accept (1900x1080)?  I know that the monitor is able to accept this resolution but It can't seem to find it.  Is it something to do with the new thunderbolt port? or the fact that I'm utilizing the VGA adaptor?  I could go HDMI if that works better.

    Use DVI or HDMI.
    VGA runs out of steam after a while.

  • Why can't Verizon answer when the G3 will get the Lolipop update?

    When I had my Nokia Icon, I had to wait months and month and months to get the official 8.1 non-buggy official update. I asked Verizon monthly when I would get this update to have the same experience all their customers with OLDER phones were having. They NEVER had an answer. I cannot explain how ****** off I was because the sales rep that sold it to me explained it would be one of the first phones to get 8.1. Now, I have left the WP environment because of the sour experience, and I see that I have a phone again that is out of date. I understand it was just released, so it's different. Why can't Verizon step up to the plate and answer? Why cant they man it up to make the transition faster? Feels like the pretty just ignore everyone and tell them to **** off since we already give them money.

    @CitizenDigital, the answer can probably boil down to this.  There is a team of people that have to review this update when it arrives at the corporate office. Once the "paperwork" has been reviewed, the files need to be reviewed, then the update needs to be tested, then an entire rollout plan needs to be put in place.  The people in charge of officially releasing the update to the public are probably waiting on the group of technical engineers to give the thumbs up by some email or morning meeting.  Until they do, "Verizon" wont know when the update will be ready.  All they hear from the tech boys is Hold On, We're testing.  I work in a similar industry so I see how the ball rolls in situations like this.

  • Why can't I get to the Internet without wifi?

    When I'm out of WiFi range but I have cell coverage I cannot get to the Internet with my iPhone but I can with my iPad. Has anyone else experienced this and how did you solve the problem?

    It could be any number of issues...
    First who is your ipad cellular provider (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon)? Is your data plan active and up to date on the ipad? You may want to call them and make sure all is well on their end.
    The troubleshooting steps for cellular data on an ipad can be found here:

    If the troubleshooting does not work then the SIM card or iPad may need to be serviced.

  • Why can't I get past the restore screen to set up my iPhone?

    I had to get a new iPhone 4 today because I dropped the old one in water.
    When I go to set up the new phone, I have the option to restore from my backup from about a week ago. So I did that...it restores the phone and then usually it goes to the page where you can see the contents of your iPhone and sync music and apps. I can't get past the restore "Set Up Your iPhone" page. I called Apple Support and they do not understand what I'm trying to say and keep telling me to restore my phone. I DID 5 TIMES! It won't let me go beyond that option screen. HELP ME!

    Were they able to help you, I am having the same problem -- when I called, they told me to restart my computer (just completed that)... fingers crossed, I will let you know if it works!

  • Why can i not update to the new version of iPhoto and Garageband through the appstore?

    When trying to update, I keep getting the pop-up:
    "We could not complete your request
    There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (null)".
    How can I update to the new version?
    Im running on the OS X Lion 10.7.4 system for Macbook Pro I have the Version 9.2 of iPhoto and 6.0.4 of Garageband. If that's of any assistance.

    Because you don't. You update using Software Update or by going to the Apple web site.
    I think iLife is being updated from MAS now, thus the need for a AppleID to update it.
    One person had iLife and tried to update with a differnent AppleID and it rejected it, seems they bought a open box machine and iLife was installed using another AppleID for display purposes.
    When one reinstalls Lion, and has to install iLife, they have to go to MAS to do it.
    Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion
    If you reinstall Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion installed, on an erased or replaced hard drive, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
    After installation, start from Lion.
    Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.
    If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.

  • Why can't you turn off the new message indicator on any of the blackberry devices?

    i can't believe that i cannot turn off having my blackberry notifiy me when i get an email.  at the top of the homescreen i either get a "Message Count" or if I turn this off i get the little red asterik alert folder appearing, plus the mail icon gets a red asterik on it.  i don't want to see this and i know that many other users feel the same way. 
    has anyone figured out a way to turn this off?  if not, how can we let blackberry know they need to fix this in future models?  there are message boards all over the internet with this same complaint. 
    a little more background: 
    - the issue is on a saturday afternoon when i grab my phone to make a call, i don't want to see a little red asterik notifying me that i have a new message.  i also don't want to see a running count all the time.
    - i tried turning off the data plan part so new messages wouldn't reach me, but the problem with that is when i later turn the data plan back on, the new messages are not then sent.  they never each my phone.  seems the server tries sending them once and if the data plan is turned off they don't make it, but never make it.
    i hope someone at blackberry reads this and they make this simple change in a future model.  i'll upgrade to it immediately when they do.  i love the device but hate being constantly reminded of new messages.

    Hi dplindsey, and welcome to the foams!
    It's also time for the 1am Eaddicts meeting to start
    Here's the deal, Turn off all the notification, ring tones, led''s for emails.
    Go to the main homescreen and hit the menu key twice select make a folder.
    Go to your main message queue icon, highlight it and press menu, select MOVE.
    Move the Icon in to folder.  TA DA!   It's GONE
    Data plan is good so you can still browse the web. Emails are stil getting delivered so you arent missing any.
    What do you think?
    If you need more information, please ask

  • Why can I not get to the iPhone user guide in Safari ?

    Just updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 6.0 last night. There's a lot of new stuff in here that I'd like to figure out. So naturally, I launched Safari on my phone, went to Bookmarks, scrolled down, and hit iPhone User Guide.
    When I do that, I get a 404 error that looks like it's coming from a regular website, not from the mobilized site that used to contain the User Guide. This site has been dead all day today.
    Is there a new way I'm supposed to be reading the help files on my iPhone under iOS 6.0? Why is the site dead?
    For the record, the bookmark leads to help.apple.com/iphone/6/  .

    You have several options:
    Go to http://support.apple.com/manuals/#iphone with Sarari on your phone and create your own bookmark; or
    Download the free iBooks app on your phone, then download the .pdf to your MBP, import it to iTunes and sync it to your phone by selecting it on the Books tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  The manual will appear on the bookshelf in iBooks and you can tap on it and read it on your phone whenever your want.

  • Why can't I get to the top of a text conversation?

    I have a iPhone 5c iOS 7.1 and I am trying to upgrade to 8.0.  I don't have enough space and I know I have every message to and from my wife since I got an iPhone almost 4 years ago.  I can't seem to locate any way of going to the top of my messages to delete the old ones and I don't want to delete ALL my messages from her....why has Apple not made this easier on us?  My phone is not jail broken...does anyone have any tips to do this?

    No one here works for Apple.

  • I can't download Adobe Flash Player - I had it installed, but now it isn't here. Why can't I get to the website?

    In order to view certain catalogues online, etc. I need Flash Player. When I click a button to download, I get a screen that says Server Not Found. I can get to most websites fine, but this one always seems to be blocked, or something'

    The installation site for Adobe Flash Player is:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Depending on whether you visit in Firefox or IE, you will be offered the appropriate player for that browser. Thus, you may need to visit with both browsers.
    Alternately, you could download the installer files using direct links. You should always be suspicious of direct links to EXE files on a forum. Never run them immediately, always scan after downloading.
    Plugin version for Firefox:
    http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    ActiveX version for IE:
    http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    Any luck?

  • Why can't I get on the Internet

    I can't get my Internet to work because it says there is no airport installed

    You do not use AirPort Utility to connect the Mac to the wireless network. AirPort Utility is only needed to set up a new AirPort router or make changes to the existing settings on an AirPort router.
    Click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
    Turn Wifi On
    Click Join Other Network
    Click Show Networks
    Select the WiFi network
    Enter the password for the network

  • Why can I not get to the iTunes store or sync my iPod Touch?

    I am not able to sync my iPod or go to the iTunes store at all. I have turned off my firewall and my anti-virus and still can't do either. So it is obviously a problem with iTunes does anyone have any ideas for me to try? I am just frustrated that this won't work because its the program I use the most.

    Looks like there's a general problem across the US and UK at Apple's end. I've not been able to connect since this morning and there are loads of threads on here about the same issue.
