Why the contract extension even after paying full price? Unlimited Grandfathered user!
So, I'm a grandfathered unlimited user. I just placed an order for iPhone 6 at apple.com, and i'm willing to pay the full price for the phone. But why does apple.com show that i'll still be signing a 2 year contract and paying a 30 dollar upgrade fee to verizon? Isn't it bad enough that i'm having to pay full price on the phone?
Or am I missing something here?
Because Apple and Best Buy etc. Do not have full access to your Verizon wireless account.
You must either visit a Verizon corporate store or call or use Verizon wireless web portal to get your device. Not a reseller.
Good Luck

If i buy the Tmobile version of the iphone 6 plus and pay full price, is the phone still locked into Tmobile network? Last year my iphone 5s wasn't and on activation i used a diferent sim card
Unfortunately I spent my Saturday AM at the Genius bar last weekend and that is when they gave me the new phone. This was after I also spent about 3 hours total on several apple support calls/chats.

My iPhone 4s on the latest update freezes even after a full restore.. is it gone?
At first, my iPhone 4s completely froze and I was unable to turn it on (even after holding power/home button--the apple logo would come on and then it would just turn off). I wasn't able to get it into restore or DFU mode. After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery. I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on. If I unplug the phone and then hold down the power and home buttons for about 20 seconds, it restarts and shows the apple logo and shows the initial lock screen. If I let it scroll through the different languages for the "slide to unlock" text, it gets to what looks like japanese or chinese and then freezes. I then have to hold power+home again to restart it. If I slide it immediately when it shows up, it initially froze right away--but after another restart, it worked. I then am able to set it up and get to the wall of apps screen. From there, the phone worked for about half a day and then it froze up again (black screen, couldn't wake it up, stuck at apple logo and then just turns off).
I then was able to restore it AGAIN (on my own personal computer with a fresh install of itunes, I'm doing this for a friend) but the same symptoms persist--it will freeze if I don't unlock it right away, it freezes once when I unlock it right away, and after another restart, it gets through setup and to the wall of apps. The first time I set it to restore from iCloud and re-installed all of her apps. This time, I signed in with her Apple ID and enabled iCloud but did not download any of her old apps. When I go to the apple store, under featured and top apps its just a blank white screen but when I search for an app it does show results. As of right now (30 minutes after restore) it IS working, but it worries me that the same bugs happened after a restore. I feel it's only a matter of hours before the phone freezes up again and requires a restore.
She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old). Help keep an iPhone fan! Do these problems sound familiar to anyone? I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it--I just wanted to get some opinions on if this phone is even worth working on more than I already have since the issues remain even after multiple full restores.
Any help would be appreciated! Sorry for the wall of text.

Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.

After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.

Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743 -
Being made to lose unlimited data, even though I am paying full price???
I've been around and have been following the discussions/policies about those of us who have unlimited data and how we will lose unlimited data if we purchase a new device taking advantage of the discount pricing. I also know the workarounds of how to keep unlimited data but what I don't understand is this....
I have 3 smartphones, all have unlimited data. 1 of the 3 phones is eligible for an upgrade, 2 of them are not.
While signed into my account, I select the phone that is eligible for an upgrade and go into the ordering system. I select the new phone I want to buy and I have the option before adding the new phone to my cart to either: pay full price, or pay the discounted price. I chose the full price option (and this is the one-time full price, not the monthly payment plan option just to be clear) and then add the new phone to my cart. That's when I get a pop-up window that says my unlimited data plan is no longer available and that I would have to chose a new (capped) data plan. Without making any new choice in this pop-up window, I close the window. I then click through the various pages of the ordering system getting up to the point of reviewing my cart. And at the review cart/review order page, I also see that the system automatically removed my unlimited data plan and slapped on a 2gb individual (not family share) data plan.
So it would clearly seem that if an upgrade is available on a phone and even choosing to pay full price, and purposefully avoiding taking advantage of the upgrade price, the ordering system is all too eager to take that unlimited data plan away EVEN IF you chose the full price option, despite VZW's repeated statements that if you elect to pay the one-time full price you can keep your unlimited data plan. I tried seeking a clarification of this issue with an online chat representative through the chat button in the ordering process and the only solution from the chat rep was to just order the new phone and pay the full price on one of the 2 phones not currently eligible for an upgrade.
So what's your response to this VZW? I would appreciate a policy statement to these issues and this situation.So I went back into the ordering system today and did the EXACT same steps I did previously by making sure I selected the one-time pay-in-full price, adding the new phone to my cart and walking the ordering system all the way up to the cart and guess what....oh low and behold.....now after posting this message, I am not getting the system prompt I was getting previously about not being able to keep my unlimited data plan (even though I was very precise in confirming my first attempt was at the one-time pay-in-full price the first time which prompted my first post).
So I guess it was just cleaner and less publicly humiliating for VZW to quietly fix their ordering system then it was to acknowledge their ordering system was forcing customers off unlimited data even when the customer was trying to pay full price in one payment for a new phone despite the Company's very public and very on the record statements that customers choosing to pay the one-time pay-in-full price would be able to keep their unlimited plan. -
When I went to update my iPod touch on iTunes, it said unable to update then the iPod shutdown and no longer showed connected in iTunes. I have tried holding down both buttons for up to 3 mins with no luck turning it on, even after a full charge. Help?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why is it that even after editing a picture under iPhoto, the original picture is still the file that is being exported?
because you are exporting the original?
SInce you give us no information at all we can only guess and that is the most likely
How are you editing the photo - iPhoto? An external editor? How?
how are you exporting?
Remember we are users just like you - not psychics

Can I pay full price for a new iPhone with sprint instead of a contract?
Can I pay full price for a new iPhone with sprint instead of a contract?
Apparently not (in the U.S.). See the photo - it only shows T-Mobile as accepting contract-free (from the Apple Store).

I cannot believe that apple is refusing to help a customer who bought and paid for iWork software just because I bought it from the retail store the App Store says they cannot allow me to upgrade. I have never heard of such. It should to matter where I got it i bought apples software and I don't et how the retail store can be different frothe App Store my god its all still apple. So stupid. I will not pay full price for the upgrade. Also I purchased Logic Studio and 2 days later the upgrade came out and they will not let u upgrade ? I think there should be at Least a 30-45 day window if u purchase software and they release the upgrade u should get not. It's not like apple doesn't make enough money already.
iWork '08 & 09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. Those installations will not be recognized as installed by the Mac App Store. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '08 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08. If it doesn't have the '08 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
If you are running Pages 3.0.3, then you do have the latest version of Pages from iWork '08. If you want to upgrade to iWork '09, you will need to purchase the new version, just like everyone else. The good news is that you can buy just the individual iWork apps - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - that you need or want for $20 US each from the Mac App Store & then install them on as many Macs as you need using the same Apple ID. -
Hi,
I am trying to update a mobile devices names. Initially, I changed the iOS device name (Settings->General->About->Name) and then I also renamed the device in the Intune app on the device. Neither of these changes are propagating through
to the admin portal, even after 24 hours. Is there anything else I should be doing for this to work?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Simon.I'm seeing the same thing as Simon, I changed the iOS device name in both places on an iOS device and the name in the Intune console is still "iPhone" which is really unhelpful as I'm sure you can imagine. Is there some other place
that we should be going to rename devices so they are more easily identifiable in the Intune console?
Thanks! -
the scroll back gesture to the previous page, even after i sign out of my email account or Facebook anyone can still be able to see the content in the accounts just by scrolling back using the gesture. how can i stop safari from showing the content of my accounts?
Try calling Tech Support, they should be able to check to see if theres a lock and try to help you reset it, I had to call and get my account unflagged, for something that I didn't even do.

5 days ago I bought a 13" MacBook Air from an apple store. It does not have Maverick on it! I paid full price for it, but since it has the old operating system I kind of feel like I bought a "clearance" item but payed full price for it! Does anyone have any advice, wisdom etc. This is my first Mac and I'm really bummed that it's not the latest and greatest. I know I can download maverick for free.....but are there other differences? Maybe something else that I thought I was getting but didn't? Thanks.
There is no difference, you didnt get "shorted" Mavericks is a FREE DOWNLOAD
Open the APP store and download Mavericks.
You didnt buy a "clearance" item, you just got an Air that was there at the shop before Mavericks was released.
There is no difference other than a 40 min. download. -
Can we remain in the same state even after clicking submit button?
Hello All,
Can we remain in the same stage even after clicking submit button? Also it should remain in the same stage only when certain conditions are met. For eg:
Condition : In Stage1, CustomFieldA default value is 'No'. To pass from Stage1 to Stage2 the CustomFieldA value should be made to yes.
Scenario 1 : CustomFieldA value is 'No', and I click on Submit .
Expected Result : should remain in the same stage
Is above result achievable in PS 2013? I am creating workflow in Visual Studio 2012, so can I handle this in the workflow?
Please help.The above answer was proved wrong, so please follow this link to get the answer.

Music on my phone does not show all the iTunes artwork, even after doing a backup restore, eliminating all music and restoring I have an iphone5 64 syncing about 8000 songs, so updating all is a time consuming, and now maddening process. Never had a problem before iOS 8. Someone (hello Apple) needs to develop a utility to help manage artwork recovery.
