Wish I had not pre-ordered

After going through a lot of anxiety trying to figure out when my new verizon phone's would arrive it seems there was no problem finding them in stores.
It is 12 pm here and I am waiting for UPS to deliver my phone.  This morning I was near the local Verizon store, at 7:45.   The store opens at 8, and the line consisted of less than ten people.  Going on line and looking at the best buy site, I see most of the phones are available in stores today and most of the stores are less than a 30 minute drive from me.
I could have saved taking a day off to sign for the phone, and having to sit here, possibly until 7, all day.
Oh well-I guess hind site is 20-20 to use an old cliche'

I agree with you, I wish I had not pre-ordered. I was promised delivery of my iPhone 4s for Friday, October 14th. I still have not recieved it and have not received any email notice of shipping. I am a loyal Verizon customer of several years and thought by pre-ordering, my customer loyality would be rewarded. WRONG!!  Any new non - Verizon customer could walk into a Verizon store on Friday and buy one and the multi-year loyal customers are still waiting on delivery. If they could'nt deliver on the scheduled date, don't bother with the pre-ordering promise **bleep**!  I think after this, my entire family and myself are changing carriers.

  • Ha! So happy I did not pre-order

    So I actually waited until today to go to my local VZW store to pick up the Iphone. Got there at 515am and was 6th in line and freezing outside. I was not there more than 5 mins before someone came outside and passed out line cards that essentially held our place in line. We were told that we could then go back to the warmth of our cars and they would open up the doors at 645am. While sitting in our cars they even came by and served us complimentary Starbucks coffee. When doors opened at 645am I was out before 7am Iphone in hand. So glad I did not pre-order and go through the stress of confirmation emails, tracking numbers, wheres my phone, whens my phone going to be here. Well worth the extra 3day wait and now I am in the same boat as the pre order people.

    Maybe people have sense to wait for the 4g,duel core proceesor model,know i see no point signing a 2 year contract on an iphone 4 when within 6 months they will have a the 5 model.and anybody who think otherwise is ignorant,these phones are cash cows for Apple.

  • Is Apple working on bug fixes for IOS 8.0.2? Wish I had NOT updated! Terrible on IPad2!

    IS Apple working on bug fixes for IOS 8.0.2? It is terrible on IPad2, wish I had NOT updated!

    Since "upgrading" to iOS8.x my IPad2 is so slow and buggy.  If the old hardware can't handle the new iOS, Apple should say so.

  • I really am struggling to like the upgrade, but the screensaver problems are awful...I have tried most of the solutions offered here, and the problem still persists...PLEASE fix it, Apple. I wish I had not upgraded my ipad.

    I am really struggling to like this upgrade, but the screensaver problems are so disappointing...I have tried most of the suggested solutions but the outsized photo problem still persists on my ipad. Pretty close to a deal breaker!  Please fix this, Apple.  I really wish I had not upgraded...can it be undone?  I really dislike the camera roll, too : (

    No one from Apple monitors these forums, so it isn't the place to voice complaints or suggestions. Go here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    It's the best place to make complaints, recommendations, or just mention stuff.
    There's a screensaver with iOS? I don't think so.

    Hi there,
    Do you have icloud account? You need firstly turn off find my iphone (by go to icloud.com -->sign in --> go to "Find my iphone" and erase your iphone in it). And then you restore your iphone with DFU mode.
    When you erase your Find my iphone and if you can not restore, your iphone has a problem with hardware.
    Some infos can help you.
    Kind regards,

  • Why can we not pre-order the Iphone 4 due to tech problems? The US seams ok

    I have been trying to pre-Oreder the new Iphone and I have had no joy. For over an hour now the uk web page has had problems.
    I do not think is fair how other webpages on other countries like the US have no problem on making orders but the uk for some reason can not make any orders yet! Convenience?
    I can not even make it over the phone, why?
    I feel like the US is getting priority on this like the Ipad, although we are meant to be able to pre order on the same day.
    If you are not able to pre-order in a certain country, no one should be able to pre-order elsewhere. I am not happy the way this is being done, I understand Apple has technical problems, so stop pre orders deal with it and then start again.
    Like everybody who wants an Iphone 4 I can not waist all day trying to acces the website as I have work to do.
    But I also do not want to come to pre-order and havbing to wait longer than the 24th June becouse too many people have been ordering this while the uk site has been down.

    Thanks I did take notice but I also know that orders were made even though.
    I guess you just have to keep trying.
    I was able to order the bumpers for it about 45 min ago and now I have order the Iphone 4, but I still have friends that have not been able to order.
    Just need to keep trying till is fix! I'm ok now which is the most important.
    I know is hard and they will be overloaded but should be coping, i thought they coped very well with the Ipad!
    Anyway thanks for reading my moaning!

  • Wish I had not switched to BT

    I decided to move my phone and broadband to BT away from SKY and I lust say I am very disappointed with the experience so far. At the same time I arranged my father - in - law to also switch and thank goodness his was smooth without a problem.
    For me the number has not been ported across even though the engineer showed me the request on his hand held device. He told me to call BT if it had not been ported by 6pm. I called them and was told to wait until midnight, we are now two days later and I have just received a text to say they will contact me on monday 2nd March to update me. I have called them several times and I just do not believe anything anybody tells me, I have no phone and no broadband.
    I wish i had seen this forum and all the complaints before I placed my order. The lack of service is poor and quite astonishing.

    Welcome to the forum. Customer service can be dire, but there are two things to remember. #1 That satisfied people tend not to congratulate (why should they?) so any customer forum is likely to give an exaggeratedly negative impression of the overall service. #2 That if you consult all forums before signing up and avoid the negative ones you'll probably avoid them all.

  • Why can I not pre order the iPhone 6 with us cellular?

    Yuo can pre-order the iPhone 6 for a coupe carries but not US cellular (which is my carrier). Just wondering why that is.

    Preorders are not live yet.
    Us cellular is not a major carrier and will not be sold by Apple.
    You will have to go through the carrier to get one, when they carry it.

  • So frustrated wish I had not changed from sprint!

    Ok to start we have only been customers since October 2011! We switched over from sprint to verizon. Thinking this would be great my father ranted and raved on the excellent service and phones and things of that sort. So ok our contract with sprint/nextel was up we had been with them for over 12 years!!!! Their Customer service had been declining as well as their phone selection. Well when we signed on with verizon we brought all 4 lines over with us. My husband, myself, our oldest daughter and my mother in law are all on our account. Well I had not really known what phone to get at the time. I feel like an idiot because I was used to Blackberries and never had an issue with them until the 9330 came out. So I ordered the LG Ally BOY was that a mistake! I have never in my life encountered such a piece of crap. So they send me two replacements within a month of the same phone.....ok well at this point I am frustrated, fed up and ready to scream. they then send me a Droid 2 because that is "better and more reliable" than the LG Ally. Well let me just call ** on that. Within a weeks time i had to have it replaced twice! Was told by the CSR in Tech Support that they would be sending me a "brand new" phone not a refurb. Ok I go along with that and low and behold NOPE that wasnt the case. they sent me a refurb that no one could hear me on! I am searching for a new job and have put my resume out there and have applied to jobs. what happens if one of them calls me back and they cannot hear me!? So I call BACK less than week later and am told well we can switch it out for another phone of your choice for the same value. Ok great no problem! I said thats fine send me the 8gb iPhone in white. They said no problem. we will get that overnighted to you. he comes back on the phone after verifying everything and then proceeded to tell me oh well we cant because it has to be within 14 days of you receiving the first phone..............WHAT? your system stated that you could send me this phone and now you tell me oh well youre going to have to go back to the same piece of crap you started with! I hang up frustrated and upset because this is my lifeline as my husband is a truck driver and I have severe medical issues that if i need medical attention I cant call because I cannot be heard! So the manager calls me back stated that they could send me the droid 4. Ok thats fine no problem I will give it a shot. Well at this point I have received a phone.............NOT the phone they told me they were going to send but a Droid 3! This phone freezes, this phone is slow, it does not hold a signal where as the other did. it doesnt ring when it is supposed to and forget sending a message on it! Droid really has proven to me that its a piece! The battery which is brand new dies within an hour and I have nothing constantly running on the phone. I think its fair that they send me the phone that I was originally promised by the tech support rep. we havent been with this company long enough to go through this kind of mess and we surely pay more than we paid with Sprint so as much as I have paid this company for phone service already I think it is owed to us. we are new customers for goodness sake and someone in this horrid company should be able to do so.

    I appreciate the reply but the implication that I do not know how to use technology was down right rude! Kidding or not this is the crappiest service I have ever had outside of Cricket. When we were with Sprint neither of us had issues with our phones. This is a first for us and we were talked out of getting phones that we were interested in by someone just trying to "make a sale". I am not using any apps that I download besides facebook and Gmail. I dont care to use other things of that sort. But given the crap I have been through with Android phones and speaking to others with Android phones.They are not made well at all.

  • Wish I had not bought MacBook Pro

    I may be missing something but I am wishing I had never bought the MacBook Pro. Finding similar products used on a PC for a Mac is not easy. Setting up iCloud email account not easy. iTunes I just cannot get to grips with the importing function. I paid £1500 for the MacBook and I sweat when I turn it on. It's been sat on my desk at home for a week without me switching it on. I am not complaining about the device - it is probably wonderful but I am not wonderful around the Mac, I am hopeless. I really do wish I had purchased a Windows PC.

    Start using it. After couple of weeks experiencing the usability of it, you will enjoy it.
    Switching is hard at first and that is nothing to worry about it.

  • Wish I had not "upgraded" to Mtn Lion

    Wish I hadn't bought Mtn Lion.  Many changes, less user-friendly, lost use of Photo Shop Elements, AppleWorks, many more minor compaints. Have been a consistent and devout Apple/Mac user since 1985.  Never felt this lack of confidence in an Apple product.  No questions - just venting - but I still don't feel any better.

    Yes, I did just upgrade.  And yes, I'm a bit of a retrograde.  I have never bought a new anything until the old one was worn out, otherwise useless, or the new one was so much improved that it didn't make sense to NOT buy it.  Staying with Snow Leopard along with the other old app versions you mention all qualify: They worked fine for my simple needs - UNTIL an Apple pro convinced me:  "You've GOT to get Mtn Lion - it's great!", etc.  I am sorry I did.  Snow Leopard and the other apps "weren't broken", as they say, but I drank the KoolAid.  I "tried to fix 'em".
    After I wallow a bit more, I'll return to my Apple Store and learn about all the slick and wonderful new Mtn Lion things that I don't use or need, then probably join all the lemmings lined up to do the same with Maverick. Planned obsolescence obviously refers to more than what sits in my driveway.

  • Prior version to new one had facility to bring up frequent used sites. Now very frustrated, as I have to type in these sites each time I use the new system. I wish I had not upgraded! Now takes much longer. There is no stream lining here.

    When I would use laptop before installing upgraded latest version of mozilla. I could go to frequent used site log and just click on a site and I would be straight into site of preference. Now this no longer exists with new version. I cannot find this anywhere, so now I have to type in each site I need access to. You have made it far less easier to use and it is much slower. Am I missing something here? Like google with there chrome version it is worse not better. I removed that too. Please advise otherwise your latest version will go the same way!

  • I wish I had not upgraded from leopard to SL

    I have almost all of the various problems users have described herein, In addition, regular crashes. Not only non Mac applications but things like mail and system prefs. I just tried to open system prefs and it crashed the entire system.One application called transmission is particulary sensitive. If you drag the curser too fast it will crash the app and sometimes the system. Things like DiskWarrior, permissions,cleaning caches, etc have no effect. All revisions are installed. My first install of SL was a clean install. I am running the same apps as I ran under leopard. My old FW800 is running the same apps under 10.5 with no problem.

    You will need your original Leo install DVD to return to Leo. Before doing so, I would make a bootable clone of my Sno install for purposes of backup, possible migration, and fail-safe--even if you have a TM backup. Your only probably trouble-free way of returning to Leo is erase and install.
    Your only problem should be migrating from your clone in a way that avoids your Sno problems. In this regard, you generally can drag and drop you data files from Sno without issue (see links below--use Preferential Treatment before migrating your data and the by-hand migration guide to accomplish your migration). I would reinstall my apps by hand. You probably would be safe just dragging and dropping those that are installed by dragging an app icon to your applications folder. I would not migrate your settings. The remaining issue is dealing with the remaining contents of your user folder(s).
    I would acquire [Preferential Treatment|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22790] and use this app to fix the your user preferences--the items in your User/Library/Preferences folder. After doing so, use [this guide|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6185507] to do the actual migration of the items in your user folder.

  • I cannot retrieve voicemail messages on my iphone having installed the new ios7 software. This is extremely annoying and very bad news as I also use my phone for business. I wish I had not upgraded to ios7. Please assist if you can, many thanks

    Can anyone assist. I've downloaded the new ios 7 software for my iphone 4s phone. Ever since doing so I often cannot access
    messages via voicemail. It is infuriating & potentially very costly as I sometimes take business calls on the phone. Can anyone
    help as Apple expect you to pay $20 for assistance which is outrageous as it is, I assume, a glitch with their new software as all was
    working fine previosly with the old operating system on the same phone. When I try to click on specific message I get a grey transparent
    screen shading top & bottom of the visual display. The message refuses to play. When you click the grey shaded area it disappears but this makes no difference as the message still won't play. What a mess! Please if you can assist if you know what this problem is and how to resolve it
    Many thanks

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • For those who did NOT pre-order the Iphone 4

    Are you camping out the Apple store?, what time are you heading there?

    Unfortunately I have to wait until Tuesday to get mine from AT&T, and if they don't have any by then I will be raising ****! I have to get mine from AT&T because I'm using one line to upgrade but activating on a different line.
