HD ready TV in UK

I live in the UK and have a Sony BRAVIA HD ready TV, is this compatible with Apple TV?

Should be if it has an HDMI input which can handle HDCP.
In other words, if you bought it in the last couple of years, it should be fine.

Input ready query is not showing loaded data in the cube

Dear Experts,
In Input ready query we have problem that it is not showing the values which was not entered by throught hat query. Is any settings in input ready query that we can do to populate the loaded data on the cube as well as data entered through Input ready query itself.
Thanks,
Gopi R

Hi,
input ready queries always should display most recent data (i.e. all green and the yellow request). So you can check the status of the requests in the real-time InfoCube. There should exist only green requests and maybe at most one yellow request.
In addition you can try to delete the OLAP cache for the plan buffer query: Use RSRCACHE to do this. The technical names of the plan buffer query can be found as follows:
1. InfoCube\!!1InfoCube, e.g. ZTSC0T003/!!1ZTSC0T003 if ZTSC0T003 is the technical name of the InfoCube
2. MPRO\!!1MPRO, e.g. ZTSC0M002/!!1ZTSC0M002 if ZTSC0M002 is the technical name of the multiprovider
If the input ready query is defined on an aggregation level using a real-time InfoCube, the first case is relevant; if the aggregation level is defined on a multiprovider the second case is relevant. If the input-ready query is defined on a multiprovider containing aggregation levels again the first case is relevant (find the real-time InfoCubes used in the aggregation level).

Can not change data in Input Ready Query

All,
I have created an input ready query on an aggreagation level which has one transactional cube underlying it however, after run the query I am unable to change data in the cells even though I get a warning message saying query is ready for input
Note:
1. The underlying realtime cube is in "Planning Mode:Loading not allowed" state in rsa1
2. I tried including all characteristics so that the record can be uniquely identified at that aggregation level).
3. I am not using any characteristic restrictions
4. I have not set any data slices
5. I have set the property for Planning "Start query in Change Mode"
6. I have set the 'Key Figure' Planning Properties to "Can be changed Manually or via Planning Functions" for the key figures
7. I do not have currency/unit in row/column.
8. There are any locks occurring
Any pointers welcome.
Thanks,
Milind

Hi Milind,
Was wondering how was your problem solved. I get the same message when I run the query in web from query designer and in bex analyzer the cells are not updated with the changes that I make.
I am hitting my head against the wall to figure what could be the problem as my plan query is simply based on aggregation level created directlty upon the real time info cube.
Have cross checked all the points that you mentioned in this post but I cells do not change.
There should be some way around to solve this problem.
Thanks

Microsoft all ready has an update for Windows Phone 8.1 Verizon customers still don't have WP 8.1. UGH!

Microsoft has all ready released an update to Windows Phone 8.1. Us Verizon customers don't even have WP 8.1. *** Verizon? My contract with Verizon is up in November this is the tipping point. I am not going to renew my contract. I will just buy the phone out right and sign up for Straight Talk. Then I don't need to have the "Nanny service provider (Verizon)" telling me when I am able to obtain a device update. Thanks for nothing Verizon.

On one side, I can understand that maybe (and that's a BIG maybe) Verizon wants to make sure they have enough data (pardon the pun) regarding the successful adaptation of the update for it's customers in order to make sure everything goes smoothly. However, I find that Verizon likes to keep customers in the dark regarding time frames. It's interesting to see on some of the similar titles message boards entries on this topic have Verizon monitors ready to wipe out entries if they violate terms of service on the forums. But, when asked directly about time frames for Windows updates, you either get a link to some Verizon news page (which is of no help), or nothing at all. A number of people called Verizon customer service and get varied answers like: "Sometime this summer", "Soon", or even an "I don't know, they don't even tell us either"...which is the answer I got one time. Very discouraging. I had a choice between the Windows Phone, or a Samsung Galaxy phone. I chose Windows because of it's features. Beginning to regret it now, since support for it on Verizon appears to be dismal at best.

Why is it not possible to access lightroom catalouge trough a Network (ready nas)

As the Topic title says why i can´t use My LRM Catalouge when it´s hosted on my Network hard drive or why I can´t create a catalouge an an Network Share (ready Nas)
With friendly Regards
Colin

No, it will not work ever as long as the database of LR is SQLite.
This is said to be very vulnerable against corruption in case of short link outages during write commands.
On the other hand changing the DB underneath LR seems not to be easy either.
There are some requests in the feature request forum around that topic, e.g. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/multi_user_multi_computer.
Add your vote if you agree with the proposal.

My Sites error - 403 and "We're almost ready!" plaguing web application

On an in-house managed farm, a My Site web application has been created per the instructions provided from
Microsoft. The web application uses the managed path "personal" at the root of
http://mysites. The initial "We're almost ready!" screen when accessing a social feature like
Newsfeed was anticipated. However, in attempting to update the My Site content (i.e. profile information, newsfeed settings), the user is presented with a 403 Forbidden page - "The website declined to show this page".
In ULS, this is made abundantly clear as well in the following logs:

SharePoint Brian's suggestion to re-run the Product & Config wizard here
Troubleshooting efforts so far in addition to the sources quoted above:
Checking account permissions (obvious, with an "access denied" message) for UPA, Metadata and Workflow service accounts
Creating a special permission policy for the web application to allow "Everyone" to create subsites
Checking SQL rights for SA's and their respective DB's

ANY help in further troubleshooting this issue would be greatly appreciated. I have already re-created the web application multiple times with the same results each time. Thank you.
Eric

I re-created the web application again. What's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? Well, in this case I actually did get a different result. At least this time there
wasn't a 403 error, but a 404! Success!
In any case, I used a load balancer for this farm and re-mapped the bindings in IIS to point to that IP. Lo and behold, we have lift off! Everything is working, even the social features. All it took was me talking to myself in a forum and
doing repetitive tasks expecting different results... oh, hang on, there's a nice gentleman in a white coat here to take me some place nice. Thank you!

How to use your Global ready phone in Mexico.

PREVIEW
Traveling Abroad in Mexico with a Verizon Phone
How to Use a Verizon Global Ready Phone Abroad
So your planning a trip to Cancun Mexico and want internet/cell service with out paying Roaming fees to your U.S service provider here is what you need to know to have access to Facebook, Vonage, Google maps, email and other apps while abroad.
I will cover two bases one for your Global ready/Unlocked phone and the other for a personal Hotspot in your room or wherever your laptop will be this is only If you plain to purchase or have semi-free WiFi service from the Hotel.First I will cover your smartphone:
The phone I used and test this with was mostly on my Razr Maxx from Motorola from the Verizon network. This can also worked with a Iphone 4S (You need to call Verizon First before traveling) please check out this thread to use your iPhone Unlocking Iphone for International Travel
Note: you only have to do this once per-iPhone after that it is global ready as long as you own it.
For a Android phone they are Global ready phones no need to call Verizon it is already ready. Popular Android phones that are Global ready ie. Razr, Razr Maxx,plus both HD versions also, The Samsung GS3 and GS4 are Global ready.
For those who don't know, All Verizon 4G phones carry a sim card inside. They can be replace with a non-U.S carrier sim.(Make sure you insert the sim in the right way or it will not work.) If you try to use a none Verizon sim in the U.S it will be blocked by The Verizon network.
Verizon runs off of both GSM and Cdma networks but while aboard you have a option to change these features.
By pressing the menu button click System Setting> More / Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Network Mode.
Step 1.
Most important leave your phone in airplane mode once you reach your destination you can still use WiFi while your phone is in this mode. While in Mexico or any country aboard you will need a local sim from any carrier that is GSM. A prepaid sim works great, some/most company's will make you pay a fee for the sim and they will not provide any help with setting your phone up to there services.
Here are a two reasons why. #1 You did not buy it from them. #2 They really don't know your Verizon, AT&T and T-mobile phone setup, Yes it is different then the same phones they sell on their own network. So buying a prepaid sim card is your best option then paying roaming fees to your U.S carrier.
After you have you sim you purchase the Data amount you think you will need you I got 1GB which was way more then enough for 5 days. I was consistently using my phone checking in on Foursquare etc.. you will also receive a local phone number too. I used a telcel sim card In Cancun The Telcel company is located in the Hotel Zone # 2 Blvd Kukulcan Km 12.5 77500 Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Telcel is the best for 4g and internet service.
Mexico cellphone company's
http://www.telcel.com/portal/home.doTelcel: Excellent coverage, You'll have to present your passport. It took no time set up the data service. (You need to know their APN settings for data service I will cover this below. I used The Vonage app to Talk to friends and family in the U.S for free they were able to call and text me while using the Vonage app on their smart phone and toll free numbers work with Vonage but not with the Mexico number.(I will cover how to set up Vonage before your travel below). There are other cheaper company's but none with the same coverage as Telcel. It worked everywhere compared to the company below.
http://www.movistar.com.mx/Movistar: The underdog. Cheaper per-month. It is what The other phone used.I wanted to test both networks. The rate to call the USA from Mexico was only 2 pesos per minute (15 cents) but there are other options to call the U.S for free as stated above. Coverage is not great at all, but it wasn't to terrible either. It was really spotty while on the beach unlike Telcel. Traveling out of Cancun on a excursions there was next to none cellular service at all. A lot of the small towns didn't have Movistar coverage. You will end up roaming on a different network it will roam on the Telcel network instead yeah that's right I said Telcel.
Prices
Everyone wants to use their Android phone or iPhone for checking emails, translating Spanish and occasionally consulting Google Maps while lost. It is easy to setup data on your phone once you have a SIM card and money on the account. If you don't explicitly buy data you can still use data on your device, but it will be taken out of your account balance at a very expensive rate. The best thing to do is to sign up for a package deal. Movistar is $200 pesos ($15) for 1GB which expires in 1 month. If your stay is not long Telcel offers the same 1GB data service for 10 days.
To sign up for one of these packages after you have added money to your Movistar account you send a text message to a special number and money is automatically taken from your account balance to pay for your data package. For example, to sign up for 1GB over 30 days, a $200 peso plan, you send a text message to 100 that says "30 dias". $200 pesos will be removed from your Movistar account and you'll have a gig of data to use.
Telcel works in a different way but you don't not need to text any special number( if your purchase from their main Store) after you add money to your account. it is automatically applied only when you use any OXXO convenience store to refill your mobile service then you will need to text a special number which will be provided . I prefer going to Telcel company just in case of a language barrier.
Note: That all Telcel prepaid plans are currently referred to as "Amigo". Click Here for Telcel Rate Rates are in pesos not dollars
Your sim card good and can be reused up too 1 year after money runs out or time expires.
Current Exchange rate $1 USD = 13.2408 pesos.
Step 2
Lets get your internet service running :
After you have your sim and paid for data you need add the APN setting to your phone. I did have to add the APN to my Razr Maxx for 4G/3G coverage, As Same for the iPhone 4S to acquire the 3G data service. Insert your Telcel sim go to the one of the link below, click your phone software link. its free no need to pay a company which will take you minutes to do. If your phone is running any Android you click the android manual setup for Iphone the Iphone manual setup. Here is Telcel APN setting for Cancun, Mexico . Here is Movistar APN settings
Note: If you have a fully unlocked smartphone that is not locked to any specific carrier in the United States, Canada or any other country you may not have to enter the APN setting manually.
How to Call and Text to the U.S and Receive Calls and Text from the U.S while abroad at no Charge.
I have used Vonage for a while to me its the best. I have used on trips to Europe and it has always work without any problems.
When setting up Vonage you must do it before your trip abroad because it will asked for your current U.S number for authorization and activation this number will not change once you use a foreign sim since your account is linked to your U.S number not your carrier.
You can add money to your Vonage account if you are planing on calling land lines or a smartphone with out the Vonage app attached to that smartphone number. (I notice a few times I used Vonage from Mexico to call a mobile phone that did not have Vonage, I was able to call them for free, which was a bonus). You can Call, send SMS and MMS threw Vonage at no additional charge to any smartphone with the Vonage app.
There are other apps out there that do work the same way as Vonage. Viber, Call and Text any Viber user for free. Whatsapp a texting app only no calling is available (yet).
These apps will use the data service you have purchase while abroad or if you have WiFi enable on your phone if WiFi is available they will use the WiFi Data instead of Cellular Data. Almost every Hotel in Cancun makes you pay for WiFi. If you are at a hotel that offers free WiFi you are in luck but the service may be spotty in some areas in your hotel.
Note to reader: The Hotspot for Verizon Wireless did not work it will look for Verizon servers. I will update this article when I find a Hotspot for Telcel. I also know The Foxfi app did not work either even the paid version.
Thanks for reading !!
Enjoy your trip.

How to turn your computer into a Virtual (Personal)Router.
Our hotel the Grand Oasis Cancun provided internet for only 36 hours and you could only use it on one device which comes to my next option as using your Laptop as a Personal Router to broadcast WiFi to any devices near your computer. Our room was on the Second level of the Pyramid at Grand Oasis and I was able to access it while at the VIP lounge below our room. Before our supposedly free internet service ended.
I attempted using the hotel next door since I was getting a good signal from the Omni Hotel. They offered complimentary 24hr internet access using your browser as a way to track your use. Once you find the signal of the Omni it will open your browser I used Google Chrome, after it opens you go threw a few simple steps and your ready.
I learned that after the 24 hours are up all you have to do is disconnect from their network, just run Ccleaner(free program) then find the Signal of the hotel and you will be given another 24 hours. What Ccleaner(<--download there) does is clears anything attached to your browser ie cookies temp files etc. it cleans your browser history giving you a way of not paying for the hotel fee of internet and giving you free WiFi. this is only if you are next to the Omni hotel :).
What you need to download to turn your computer into a hotspot need to say is this little easy to use program Virtual Router. Once it has download test at your home to make sure it works with you devices. This will work with Tablets, Phones and other computers that cant find the Omni WiFi signal. Your welcome. To use it, is simple. Open program>make a password>select WiFi and start VR.

I understand that I need a separate audio cable. I tried a 3.5mm cable from MBP into DVI audio socket on TV - but NO sound.
What cable to I need to be able to get sound along with vision?
Thanks if you can help,

You need to set the Audio in on the TV. This is from page 16 of your TV's manual:

STILL can't get Videos into 5G iPod , Ready to throw it out the window

I'm ready to throw this iPod out the window , I spent all day yesterday over 10 hours , trying to get videos onto my iPod , my iPod software and iTunes are up tp date , first I just drag and dropped them as MPEG no luck iTunes recognized and played them but wouldn't let me drag and drop them to the iPod then I used iSquint , it converted them to MPEG 4 , they transferd into iTunes and played but not the iPod I got an error that they weren't transferable and not recognized by the iPod .
I called Appe this morning and they were no help since I didn't get the Vid's from the appple store and since you only get one free service call ,and wouldn't tell me the format for the videos I didn't want to waste it . They suggested I buy Quicktime Pro .
Then I tried , Movies For My iPod . I used the transfer for iPod option , it converted them to .mp4.m4v . I drag and dropped them directly to the iPod no luck , they're there but wont play or show up in the iPod then I opened up iTunes and drag and droppped them into iTunes again played in iTunes not transfered to the iPod although it said it was updating .
Then ,I tried the custom settings file format MP4 , video format , MPEG-4 Improved , Image Size 320 X 240 QVGA , again I tried to drag and drop them onto the iPod still not there , now I tried to drag and drop unto iTunes , again they're there and play but won't show up on the iPod . I've pretty much had it .
In the Movies For MY iPod they're are some custom settings . File Format MP4(ISMA) In the Video there is an MPEG-4 Improved setting with a bit rate of 256 kbits/sec Image size 320x 240 QVGA frame rate 30 plus alot of other settings which I have no idea what they are .
Today I have 6 hours of frustration into this still no luck . I'm really disappointed with Apple ,I started out with the first iMac a Bondi Blue and have been working my way up , I have an iBook , an iMac Graphite , a G4 iMac a 15G 3G iPod now the 5G iPod . Apple should have included Quick Time pro in the G5 , and only one support call, come on , even Dell gives you a year of support .
And to top it all off the Black is beautiful but scratches easily , I'm a chef , my nails very short and allready it's scratched to bits by the wheel, I keep it in a case when I'm playing it , you can hardly touch it . I'm not very happy with Apple and this iPod , they rushed it out for the holiday , so if your in the jacksonville Florida area look for a flying iPod .

Lets run down a list of possibilities:
1) You are using iTunes 6 here, correct?
2) You did not say whether or not you are running in auto-sync, manual management, or "Enable Disk" mode. If you left it in the default mode as installed (auto-sync), then after dropping your movies into iTunes (or adding them to the Library), simply connect your iPod and allow it to auto-sync (mirror) the current contents of iTunes. (You can also try "Update iPod" option under the File menu, but I have found it unreliable -- possibly owing to "sleeping" iPod.)
3) Not sure if your reference to "dropping the movie on the iPod" is a reference to the iPod desk icon in manua/disk enabled mode or the iPod "Source" reference/associaed contents list in iTunes. Could you clarify where you are attempting to "drag 'n drop" and/or the selected sync mode of operation in your iPod Preferences.
4) As to conversion to iPod compatible formats, recommend you stick with MoviesForMyPod and/or iSquint if you are restricted to QT Pro 6 and not sure what settings to use for MPEG4 preset collection/QuickTime Movie full manual mode.

Please Help! Ready to throw my iPhone out the window!

First time posting on the forums but it's gotten to the point where my phone isn't even usable and I either need some answers or a good excuse to smash it.
So here's the story:
I got my iPhone 3G (black, 16GB) in September (I think), last year. The phone operated fine with only minor annoyances as software updates came down to fix issues, no big deal. About 10 months in, the phone starts acting up:
If you want clarification on some problem, ask. I don’t want to type out 8 paragraphs if I don’t have to, should be pretty self-explanatory.
Before OS 3:
1.) Can’t slide to answer calls. After ringing stops phone behaves normally.
2.) Doesn’t charge from wall or computer (happened randomly). Plug phone in, it says it’s charging but never charges.
3.) Can’t end calls / call doesn’t end when other line is hung up (thanks for wasting my minutes).
(these problems persist even with hard resets and full restores, including setting the phone up as a new phone rather than restoring from a backup)
After OS 3 AND full restore:
1.) Can’t slide to answer calls. After ringing stops phone behaves normally.
2.) Can’t end calls / call doesn’t end when other line is hung up (thanks for wasting my minutes).
(same as above, problems persist with hard resets and the like)
At any rate, I was home one weekend and figured I’d take the phone to the Genius bar at the Mayfair Mall Apple Store. Sounded like a good plan until I get to the mall and find the store is being renovated (seriously Apple, you can’t just put that on your site that a store is closed for some reason? Give me a break). Home is 3 hours away for me and the closest Apple store is 2.5 hours away. Awesome.
I deal with the problems for another month or so until my girlfriend and I take a trip to visit her friend in Minnesota. While there we go to the Mall of America so I decide to go to the Apple Store there (which is flappin’ giant, by the way). I explain my problems to the ‘Genius’ as well as informing him of the numerous restores/resets I’ve done both before and after the 3.0 update. He checks the phone for water damage and concludes that the headphone/dock ports are dusty which is causing the charging problem. I proceed to tell him I’ve cleaned them with compressed air before and the problems continued but he’s the ‘Genius’ so I let him do his thing and clean them again. Afterwards, he concludes (via the iPhone diagnostic software they have) that since I haven’t done a restore in about a month that I should do another one as that will likely remedy the problem. Right. Was he even listening when I explained that the problems happened before and after the 3.0 update or that I had on numerous occasions attempted to remedy the problem with hard resets and restores? Nope. My girlfriend over hears this (she is aware of the problems I was having and is a Apple-certified hardware technician at our local Mac store) and comes over to reiterate (albeit slightly more forcefully than I had initially) that the problems occur regardless of restore state or software version. The ‘Genius’ finally decides he can replace the phone after explaining to him that we are not anywhere near an Apple store and that there’s little time left in the warranty. I get my new phone set up and ready to go. Whew.
Everything is great. Phone works, no issues. Until ~2 months ago, new issues start cropping up.
OS 3.1+ (happen on all versions):
1.) Can’t sync, get “unable to complete. Phone was disconnected.” Error. (I checked around the forums and tried a few things but was unable to resolve the issue, including trying to remove the files that it kept ‘disconnecting’ on when it got to, no effect)
2.) Installing an application (be it via App Store on the phone or via sync with my desktop) results in the phone being unable to boot if turned off. When attempting to turn it back on, Apple logo shows then phone goes off after a few seconds. Only way to resolve this is by booting the phone directly to restore mode and doing a full restore.
3.) Earlier this week, my phone wouldn’t boot after having no apps (0, zero, zip, nada) on it after restoring it a few weeks back. Apple logo showed up then the spinning loading animation overlaid on the logo only to freeze. Attempted booting again and it came on (whew).
4.) Today, my phone wouldn’t boot at all, again, no apps are on or have been on the phone since I last restored it. Tried turning it off/on a few times, no good. I ended up restoring the phone again.
At first, my girlfriend was convinced that it was because I was synching with my desktop PC (obviously, blame it on the PC first), which I’ve been using since I got the phone and everything was fine until both phones randomly decided to crap out. I ended up restoring it on my MacBook Pro as a new phone just to see but the same thing happens with the apps causing it to not boot. After that we thought that it might be a single (or a few) apps that were just taking the phone down for some reason. I restored the phone with no apps and it seemed to be ok so I put 3 apps that I’ve had pretty much since they were available (and used to work without issue) back on to see. The plan was to add a few apps until the phone stopped working properly to narrow down the offending app. Just kidding! Just having those 3 apps (Beejive IM, Facebook, iDracula) causes the phone to not boot. I restore and try just Facebook. Same thing, phone doesn’t boot. Restore, try just Beejive. Same thing, phone won’t boot. By the way, the phone doesn’t boot even without me having LAUNCHED THE APPS AT ALL. Just by being on my phone it’s totally hosed.
At this point I have no idea what to do. I want to like my iPhone again but it’s terribly worthless when I have to restore it every other day and can’t use my ~$90 worth of apps (PS: even Apple’s own ‘Remote’ app brings the phone down). I really, really hate to say it but my old HTC Hermes (Windows Mobile 5/6) PDA phone was better than this (and WinMo is god-awful).
Does anyone have any suggestions? My phone is out of warranty now and I don’t have money to buy another phone even if I wanted to.
Also, I treat my phone like a baby. It hasn't been dropped a single time, been near water, or operated outside of the safe operating temp guidlines.
I'm willing to elaborate on any of the information I provided above, just let me know.

After the restore did the phone work properly for a while? Say, a day or so?
If so it is possible you have an app that doesn't let go of memory properly. I reboot my iPhone ( hold sleep/wake and hole till you see the apple logo) every few days. This resets the memory. The iPhone OS has doesn't seem to mange memory very well yet. So a reboot will help with that. I have had my phone almost slow to a stop before I started rebooting. Always reboot after installing a new app. Also do you close all pages in Safari when you are done? This is a good practice. Safari will run in the background and use processor time and drain your battery quicker. Create a new blank page then close all others when you are done browsing for a while. I have also found that certain web site that have animated images like weather maps will turn the phone into molasses. As soon as i close that page it gets faster.
If all of the above have no effect then as Tamara said it is time for a trip to the Genius bar.
Good luck

5800 XM lifestory - get your popcorn ready people

Hello everyone. This is my first post here as I don't know where else to put it. It is quite long as it will go through alot of problems I have occured and I dont know what to do so please help. It may give you soloutions to some of your problems too.
I recently got a Nokia 5800 XM with a 1 year music store download subscription card. I got this in August 2009. I started off using the phone as a rookie to Nokia s60 5th edition phones. All I could say was that I was greatly, very greatly, satisfied with the product. It exceeded all expectations and work flawlessly. Until the day when the phone did NOT recognise the 8gb memory card within and the photos in the gallery had their thumbnails missing (even though the photos were listed!). It was strange, this never happened before.
This happened a few months later from the day i got it. I turned the phone off, took out the battery, put the memory card in, put battery back in and turned it on. The splashscreen with NOKIA in blue came up (as the phone vibrates and then starts). After that these things happened (to keep it short):
A1) The first time i did this it asked for a lock code (i set it). I put it in and everything is OK.
A2) Next day I turned my phone on, entered code, went onto home screen and stayed STUCK on it. I tried pressing the menu button but it would take about 2 minutes to get to the menu 2 5 minutes to load any sort of application!
A3) Same day: I tried accessing the memory card from Windows XP computer (SP3). The computer froze and crashed.
A4) Same day: I tried accessing memory card from PC suite by choosing PC Suite mode from the phone. This worked for a day and then this too would crash and cause the computer to end the program.
A5) Same day: I tried accessing memory card by putting the phone into Mass Storage mode. This worked completely and I was able to back up some files (pics, songs, vids etc).
A6) Next day: As a test I tried accessing the memory card from a different computer. I got the same results as in (2), (3) and (4). This test made me conclude that the memory card was corrupted (which was pretty strange as I never did take it out of the phone ever since I got it!).
A7) The day after that I turned the phone on and guess what? It took about 20 minutes to get to the lock code and the touch screen was not responding to me pressing the numbers.
I made the decision to format the memory card by using my computer (windows XP). I could access it through Mass Storage mode so it made things alot easier. I formatted the memory card WITHOUT uninstalling ANY of the applications that were originally installed to the memory card. This, of course, was a bad move but I was desperate as I needed the phone to work. If you ever do install lots of applications onto a memory card (install them one by one) you will notice that even the phone memory gets used up very slightly. What happened was that I had half a program on the phone (including all of my music Licenses, phone locks and registry for alot of programs and themes).
SO after the format I put the card back into the phone. It recognised it and showed the message that said something like, "Readying memory card". This took a few minutes but after that it went. I then immediately updated my phone to the latest firmware (which was v21 at that time) and put my backed up files onto it again. That fixed a whole load of errors from before.
A few months later a few of the thumbails for my pictures went missing again. The day this happened the phone became slow and unresponsive too. I decided to update the phone's applications and firmware again. This, again, fixed the problem but not for long.
In November 2009 my phone was slowly 'failing':
B1) It would randomly switch off even during a use of any application and even when I was making a call.
B2) NEW: every time my phone was left on its own for about 5 minutes the screen would only display lines of colour, not text or anything related to the GUI of the phone. Just lines. I noticed that the phone was stone-cold at that point. So a little heat (rubbing it in hands or leaving it in my warm pockets) would solve it and it did.
B3) Making phone calls would take AGES! It took about 5 minutes for the sound that shows a connection to the other phone would come up!
B4) No dial tones - sometimes when I dialled a number there would be no 'beep-beep' of the integers being put in (regardless if I was in Silent profile or General with the volume put at maximum)
B5) Internet fail - the phone would not connect to any sort of connection wether it be mobile internet to any Wifi spot.
B6) Transparent images - web graphics and transparent images that should normally blend in witht the background had, for some reason, a grey filling. This never happened before and I took note of it.
B7) Facebook malfunction - when the new 'touchscreen site' for facebook came out, I was enthralled to see a site that uses the functions of the phone only (just touchscreen). However it worked fine for a few weeks but after that if I clicked on a name of one of my friends it would 'glitch' Basically the same page would load (before I clicked on someone) and the header of the page (that said 'Facebook' with the tabs 'home', 'profile', 'friends' and 'inbox' in a blue background) would all be DUPLICATED to the bottom of the page. This would happen again and again and they would act like separate 'processes' or 'pages' in one page only.
B8) Facebook transparent glitch - the new touch site has a notifications area on the top-left of the screen. Normally it would show an image of a whiteboard with lines on it if there were no notifications. If there are it would show up as a red square with a number in it showing how many. This happens but the number has white 'cut outs' like scissors cut around it harshly leaving jaggy edges and pixels and NO transparency.
B9) Connection to WLAN lost - this happened between 20 seconds and 30 minutes of connecting to ANY wifi spot.
I checked for firmware updates and updated to v31 or v38 (one of those two). This fixed problems (3), (6) and (8) for another few months. After that I was happy with the phone even though it still had all the other problems.
January 2010. A new year, a new hope and, of course, new dilemmas
Phone was fine until the memory card got corrupted. How did that happen? I took a picture of my new barbecue machine and when it says 'processing image' underneath the battery DIED and the phone shut off. *sigh* I charged the phone and went to that picture that I took (when the battery died) and it had no thumbnail. This was expected. I opened it and it said 'corrupt file'. After that I deleted it but it couldnt delete it! I tried deleting it through 'File mgr.' and 'X-Plore'. Didn't work. Tried it through windows through USB mass storage. Computer crashed. Took MMC out of computer. Computer magically fixed! Corrupt memory card. I didnt try it on another computer but I was sure the card had 'gone bad'. So this time I first backed up the stuff I wanted from there, uninstalled everything from the phone (except for some themes which I forgot) and then formatted the card.
After the format I realised I missed the sisx themes to uninstall. They had not gone from the themes list but It showed that they were installed to the phone memory - something that I had NOT done before the format. I installed everything to the memory card.
I slowly worked out (over the weeks) that everytime I installed something to the memory card there would be some sort of 'remnants' left behind after a format. I got this because after the 2 formats I got another problem and a solution:
C1) Music player custom Equalisers - all had been deleted after the format and there were none in the list. However when I went to make a new setting and pressed 'OK' after choosing a name for it and setting the levels it would sound as if all the levels were back to 0. I rechecked and found that the name was saved as Preset 1 and NOT what I chose it to be (I named it 'My Own') and the levels were, in fact, back to 0. What I worked out was that if I wanted them back then I would just leave the name how it came up (Preset 1, Preset 2) and leave the equaliser levels on 0. Guess what it would be saved as?? The first one in the list before the format! It was called 'Pop my way' and the equaliser levels were exactly the same as before the format. I did the same thing 5 more times and I recovered all of my old custom equaliser levels and settings.
C2) This is EXACTLY the same for the notes application. I had a full list of notes before the format and a blank list after the format. I just entered a blank note and they came up magically as my old ones with all the info' saved on them!
February 2010 - I made a habit of checking for updates every week. The last update was on 29th December 2009 (software version 40.0.005 custom version 40.0.005.C03.01). Ever since then there had been no software updates. Just application updates. I updated my Nimbuzz application and there was something called Scribble Powered by Python. It was a drawing tool (4 MB?!?!) and turned your phone into a mini version of MS Paint. Rubbish! Didn't need that. Didn't install it. Got errors installed it and error gone.
March 2010 - Unexpected breakdown of phone. Same problems as (A7, B2, B7, B8. B9) and a few new ones:
D1) I went onto the Download! app. It wanted update. I gave it update. It changed to Ovi store. Looked nice, a bit sluggish and hard on the RAM but it was fine. I downloaded lots of stuff from there, it was a great app! UNTIL the dreaded update of version 1.05(611) which installed halfway and then somehow, unexpectedly, the progress bar would stop and then it would say 'update error' and close, leaving me blinking foolishly at the screen. I tried again and again and again. Same update, same error. Now there is a new one out and I cant update to that either because it says 'Update error'
D2) Nokia Music Store application for my phone now cannot even get to the main screen from where i can search or choose tracks from. The only place I can get to is the store selector from which you choose what country you are from. If I click on UK (where I live) it displays an error message saying, "Music Store: Unable to perform operation". I had this error before on the web browser but it soon went later on. No matter how many times I click on it the same message will keep on coming and coming. I even tried the Music store from my PC which leads to the next problem.
D4) Nokia music store for windows XP. Now updated to Nokia Ovi Player cannot and will not recognise, connect and sync the music from my phone in any of the USB modes the phone is on (PC Suite, Media Transfer, Mass Storage, Image transfer << NONE OF THOSE) this is something completely new and did NOT happen before the formatting of the memory card! The phone isnt even recognised in Music Store/Ovi Player and asks for a phone to be connected whereas PC Suite/Ovi Suite recognises it and fully works. I even tried pressing the 'Sync' button in Ovi Suite on the music page and it says something like 'Could not transfer'.
D5) The ovi store application will NOT update from Ovi Suite. The error message given says: "Internal error - could not update ovi store".
<<<<<<<<<<ALMOST FINISHED PEOPLE, JUST 2 MORE THINGS>>>>>>>>>>
After all this rubbish I decided to do a full master phone reset to the phone memory only. I took out the memory card and did a hard reset. Everything back to normal. Updated everything on the phone. Put memory card back in..... 'readying memory card'... the smart thing was that it scanned the memory card and automatically installed ANY sisx, sis, JAR files automatically and put all the media files into the library automatically. Hence the name smartphone. I, on the other hand, didnt wait for it to finish as it was taking a good hour to do so and I tried cancelling it, tried to turn the phone off, took the card out and then put it back in (which worked but restarted the 'card-readying process') so i took the battery out as the phone went stuck on the readying bit, put it back in and turned it on. The apps were installed but only some of them were and the had their icons missing. This was expected as I had force-stopped the installation processes. I manually installed everything and all was back to normal.
And now, I am here writing to you people to help me out because I have almost all the problems listed back into operation and I dont know what to do. I am not giving up yet - it took me a year of torture to get to this stage and I think I might win this battle
So... any ideas for salvation?? lol

That was something to read! - I don't know any exact solution to your problems.
It might be your phones hardware, might be a false fw install, might be a corrupted memorycard or even a faulty memorycard making problems again and againg. And you might wanna take it to a Nokia care point for an inspection.
But what I would check out is those themes and apps youre mention.
I have both n97 and 5800 with no such problems, but I once had similar issues with my n95 8gb after installing a couple of "homemade" themes from different websites, zedge.com amongst others.
I use nimbuzz on both of my phones, but have no trouble with it, but there could be other problems.
Try also not to force stop any installation as things can get corrupted even though it seems ok in the first place.

I have now downloaded all of my CD's to my itunes library and have since only purchased new music using itunes Store. This itunes library is stored on an old Dell Desktop that I am getting ready to replace with an iMac; how can I move the music? 86GB
Is the music I downloaded from my CD's already in the iCloud or only the music I purchased on itunes?

This might help: http://www.macworld.com/article/1146958/move_itunes_windows_mac.html.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.
The word file has a trim size of 6” x 9”. It has been set to mirror margins with the inner, top and bottom margins set to 0.75”, the outer margin is set to 0.5” and the gutter to 0.14”.
It doesn’t matter if I create the PDF from inside Word, or open Acrobat Pro 11.0.9 and click Create From File, while the resulting document size is correct and the odd numbered pages reflect the correct margins, the even numbered pages do not. This results in some text near the outer margin, as well as the page numbers being omitted.
Does anyone know how to correct this?
I just noticed that some of the odd numbered pages' text is also cropped. Apparently Acrobat is refusing to set side margins to smaller than 1" (@ 3cm).

I'm away from my printer, so I'll try it later. Even so, the proposed test is irrelevant. I operate a small publishing house and am trying to upload certain novels to Ingram, the largest book distributor in the world. The specifications I've set are the specifications they've asked for. Since they've said that the results I'm obtaining are unacceptable, and since they demand submission in PDF form, this renders Acrobat Pro for Mac completely unacceptable for anyone in the publication industry. As far as I can tell, Adobe has a serious bug here that it needs to fix—and at once.
