Hello community. My boss just had one of the worst tech support experiences with Apple.

For some time now on his iPhone he keeps getting a continuous prompt for Voice-mail password and he cannot get rid of it. It is very annoying. At first he contacted ATT but they passed the buck over to Apple.

Anyways he called them and explained to them that when this first occurred he went to the Apple store and one of the "Genius" told him to create a new password for his apple ID or perhaps it was get a new Apple ID and password and that would resolve the problem.

Regardless of how it was done he followed their instructions. At first it cleared things up but only for a short while and it came back and never went away. Basically today on the phone they said it was his fault for doing those steps and they made him look like an idiot.

He yelled at them saying they were idiots. I don't understand how one of the most valuable and recognizable companies can treat a customer this way when all he is asking is some simple help in regards to this issue.

So now I turn to the community for help. Has anyone come across this continual password prompt and if so were you able to fix it?

Thank you

jesus.. he got the run around.. I had this same issue before with my daughters iPhone. Once I put in the voicemail password right it fixed it. Default is like 0000 if you can't figure it out, you can download the AT&T mobile app, there is a tab on it called reset voicemail password and that will fix it.

HOpe this helps

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
