Morning! |waves|

About 10PM last night, the Apple logo flashed on my iPhone for 3 seconds, then it went black. It's been repeating this ever since |huh Found some solutions that didn't work, so I plugged in into my PC, but nothing. I fired up iTunes & it asked for my password, which I of course forgot |pokefun||greenguy| One way to reset it is that they send a code to my phone |crazy| The other is called something like Reclaim Your Account, so I jump thru those hoops & they tell me it could take 3 days |cry| Then, I remember my password |banana| Logged into iTunes, but still no phone :( Go to apple.com to set up an appt at the local store & in order to do so, you need to login. Well, even though it worked in iTunes, since I started this recovery process, my account is locked or something so I can't login to schedule an appt to FIX |banghead| MY |banghead| FUCKING |banghead| PHONE |banghead| |banghead| |banghead| |banghead|


So this happened yesterday:

My friend on Facebook thinks he figured out how they knew - any ideas?

Aside from trying to get my phone fixed, I'll be here working :)

Morning. |coffee

Greenie, are you part of any points program at Rite Aid? Maybe they sell Amazon your buying info based on the email address you gave Rite Aid as part of the points program?

Sorry about your phone. Jesus, phones can be expensive to fix. I hope it's not a big deal.

Not much on tap today. I've got lunch out and a play to see tonight but, otherwise, it's the same old. A website quote for a new client today is number one on my list.

Have a good one! |thumb

BINGO! Just sent this to Rite Aid about their Plenti program:
Quote:

Yesterday I was at Rite Aid & bought some Planters Whole Cashews because they were on sale for $8.99 (reg $16.49). The transaction occurred at 2:38PM

At 2:51PM I recv'd an email from Amazon that said: "Here are personalized recommendations for you based on items you purchased or reviewed..." and the 1st item on the list was Planters Deluxe Whole Cashews for $9.99 (everyday price). A friend pointed out to me that it was probably Plenti sharing my info with Amazon. I just opted out of Plenti sharing my data with anyone. This is not your or Plenti's fault. It's mine for not checking the privacy options when I signed up.

But my point is this: You give a customer's info to Plenti & they then share it with their partners. In my case, who do you think I'm going to buy cashews from the next time I need some? Amazon's everyday price is $6.50 less than Rite Aid's. I have a Prime account, so it's free 2 day shipping. I'd be a moron to buy them from Rite Aid.

So thanks for letting me know I should shop at Amazon & not Rite Aid!

From what I'm reading, it's a hardware problem. I know my Apple warranty has past, but I think we have something thru Verizon. My other concern is that dummy hasn't backed up his phone in a LOOOOOOOOONG time |cry|

I'm an Android guy but my wife's phone is Apple. I know there is a backup function on it. You set it and forget it. I needed it to transfer her phone from one company to another. Here's hoping you had it turned on.

Hello Board |waves|

I had very hard work week that is almost done. Next week should be better. Maybe I will do some coding tonight if I don't fall asleep at the couch. |boobies|

Android user here so no problems with the phone |pokefun||greenguy|
But I can relate to iPhone users partially as my Lovely one uses iPhone as well |pokefun| at my Izabela. There is always something with either her phone or Apple ID or password and to get things fixed it's always painful.

Have a good one all |thumb

Honestly, The Bitch & I started with Apple in 2008 with the iPhone 3, then we got the 5, and now we have the 7. This is the 1st time in 10 years that there was a problem with one of our phones that wasn't caused by me drunkenly falling while getting into a van while visiting Ramster & our friends in Ottawa |thumb

Izabela is always complaining how her " F*up phone is acting up again" but then again maybe it's her thing :) Now she has the #7, but before that it was #6+, #6 and #5. So far #5 is her still favorite #1

Greenguy 2018-03-15 06:21 PM

I loved the 5, but the 7 really grew on me |thumb I think we'll have paid it off when the next one comes out|lol|

Good Eve :)

The past two days have been a blurry mess dealing with the doctors and preparation for my wife's surgery tomorrow.

Needless to say I will be MIA for a few days more.

Enjoy your weekend!
