1.1.1 Update and SMS problems

Here's a weird one, my wife's 4 gig iphone hasn't been getting SMS text messages from my iPhone or anyone else. I got on her iPhone and sent a test SMS to my iPhone and got it fine - except that it didn't join the thread of previous SMS messages from her, it started a new one. So now I have two threads with her name as the sender.
If I reply to her test SMS she gets it. If I reply to her previous SMS messages she doesn't get it. If I try to send her an SMS by selecting her mobile number in contacts she won't get the mesage...
Her iPhone reports the same phone number as before at the top of it's own contact lists and can get and make calls just fine.
Is there a way to find out what the return address of SMS messages is? It looks like hers has changed since the 1.1.1 software update, but not enough that they show up as from a new phone number.
Anyone else see something like this happen before?
Thanks much,
Sean

This one seems to have resolved itself. As of yesterday evening SMS messages are again arriving when sent using her phone number and not just when replying to her messages.

Software Update and SMS

I will like to know if i update my OS to a more recent one, will the new or recent one include Word, Sheet and Slideshow To Go?
Anytime am sending SMS on my curve 8520, just before delivering the message the phone usually switch off by itself. Please i need urgent help. Thanks,
Sammy

Well, if you are using OS.5 on your BlackBerry curve 8520, then yes there is just one update in your OS.
Regarding using Word, Sheet and Slides, then I guess it is very much available to use it in OS.5 even!
For upgrading your Device, just connect it through USB Cable to your internet enabled laptop/desktop.
Open BlackBerry desktop manager.
Once you phone is connected it will automatically pop you out for the available upgrade, or if not then you can go to Device menu and click on Upgrade.
Regarding your SMS problem, then do one thing, just try to make a power restart by taking out your battery and inserting it again.
If it helps then fine, else you need to restore your device.
Hope it resolves your problem!

Latest firmware update and more problems with 30" external displays?

Hello,
New macbook pro user since a few weeks, so first post here.
I'm aware of various issues with the displayport to dual-dvi adapter, especially with 30" 2560x1600 monitors. All threads I've found on are 1-3 years old though.
I got my 17" macbook pro a few weeks ago and I've had very few problems running my 30" dell 3008wfp as external screen. I had issues at times getting it to work after boot up, with blackout and various errors (problems I've read about in older threads), but once stable it would work without issues for days.
Yesterday the macbook found and installed a new firmware update, and wow, all **** broke lose. The external screen won't run at 2650x1600 for more than a minute before blacking out or suffering major graphical errors. Ironically one of the key points in the firmware update is better support for external monitors...
It will run nice and stable mirrored at 1920x1200, but not at 2650x1600.
Is anyone else in a similar situation after the latest update?

Please Help! 10.6.8 Update and subsequent problems

On Friday, 2/10/2012, the Software Update popped up and informed me that new updates were ready to be installed on my MacBook Pro.
I clicked the update button and the updater installed the following updates:
iTunes v10.5.3
Security Update 2012-001 v1.1
MacBook Pro Video Update v1.0
Remote Desktop Client Update v3.5.2
Keynote 5.1.1 v5.1.1
Safari v5.1.2
Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 6 v6.0
Soon after installation Safari started crashing whenever I opened new tabs. I reset Safari and that problem went away.
I also run a Virtual Machine (Windows Vista imported from a Sony Vaio). The virtual machine has never had a problem and I used it on Thursday before the update and it worked fine. However, after the updates, I can no longer use the virtual machine. It has been corrupted. I get a message that says "Unable to Access Hard Drive 1: input/output error."
Then my whole Mac started running slow, especially Safari. In Safari, pages are slow to load and I get the spinning color wheel (or "beach ball," as I have heard it referred to) when I'm on any web page. Pages take long to load. After they load, I still get the spinning color wheel consistently.
Other programs are somewhat slower to load, as well, and when switching between open programs, there are delays and even more spinning color wheels and beach balls.
My computer has never had a problem until after I installed those updates.
I have repaired permissions and I have also re-donloaded the combo straight from the Apple website, but that did not work.
Is anyone else having this problem? Or has anyone else had this problem? What to do?
Thanks.
And, uhm, no- I did not have Time Machine set up, unfortunately.

Grant, thanks for the reply.
I have NOT been considering a new hard drive. My MacBook Pro is not even two years old, yet (I bought it in May 2010). So, the thought of having to replace my hard drive within 2 years has not even entered my mind and (as I stated) I only started having these problems within the past 2 weeks after having installed the latest updates via Software Update.
Really, if my Hard Drive needs to be replaced after less than 2 years of light use, then I will just chalk this up as a lesson learned and just not buy another Apple product and would probably just buy a Windows-based laptop rather than replace the HD in my MBP.
I am working on transferring my files (the ones that will still open and/or copy) to an external hard drive and doing a clean install of my OS X. I also am trying to figure out if I can somehow manage to save my pics that will not copy to the external hard drive but are saved on my iPad before I do so.
I'm not a computer or Mac genius by any stretch of the imagination, but I do appreciate your reply and advice. Unfortunately, I don't have any idea what it means to re-write a "wvwey block with a known-good pattern." Is that something I have to do manually? You stated that the option is in Disk Utility. Is "write zeroes" an option that you can select or is something you have to input manually? Can you break it down in simple terms for me or give me some step-by-step instructions or a link?
I apologize for my ignorance, but (again) I do appreciate your replay and advice as well as that of HackInt0sh.
Thanks.

Airport Update and New Problems

Every since I exposed my rock stable mac to the last airport update and system update, I have had some connectivity problems with my airport. I cannot get Back To My Mac to work. I can't print off of my USB connected to the airport. I went into Airport set up and the airport does not recognize the printer. I tried to get on my desktop mac in the other room, and can't log on. I can't see my wife's computer sitting across from me. Should I be looking at a different problem, or is this a up-date conundrum?

I'm still experiencing these problems with the 7.4.2 firmware upgrade. I think there may be a problem with the computer's Airport card, not with the base station. Perhaps the 7.4.2 firmware has nothing to do with it. Maybe it's a problem with an OS X update. Sometimes, inexplicably the internet will go offline for a few minutes. During this time not only my network (coming WiFi from my Airport Extreme Base Station) but also all of my neighbor's networks suddenly disappear. A few minutes later everything returns to normal. Also during this time my ISP remains online; there is no problem with the ISP. The MacBook is the only device that seems to "think" that all internet networks are down. Another big tip off is during this time the Airport utility fails to recognize my base station at all. It doesn't even see it... period. If this were an ISP problem the Base Station would still appear as visible to the AirPort Utility.

Update and installation problems

I am having issues with Creative Cloud updates and installations.
None of my Apps will update. I am prompted to update, I click the update button, Cloud says "updating software" but all attempts stop at 0%.
Similar issues Installing Apps. Installations start but all stop at 90%. No error messages at all.
This is extremely frustrating and all my Apps are in need of updates to fix minor bugs which are effecting my workflow.
Can you help?

We can't know. You have not provided any exact system info or other details like the install/ update logs. You can always run the cleaner and start from scratch.

The update and other problems PLEASE HELP!!!

The ovi store on my phone asked me to download the newer version which I did, is there an update for ovistore on the computer because I haven't heard about it if there is one and it may solve the problems I have been having with it:
1. I don't receive the messages when trying to get an app
2. It wont let me down load apps when I connect my phone to the computer
(also on the nokia website it told me to click the download and install button to get an app when plugged into the computer but I can't find it..Any ideas where it is???)
please help i've had this problem since I first set up my account and its really bugging me now!!!!!!

(Apologies for barging in Steve.)
These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80071A91, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

IOS 7 Update and Configurator Problems

Since the iOS 7 update, we have been unable to 'Check In' devices with Configurator, and refreshing devices has been difficult. We have iPad 2s and Configurator 1.3.1 running on Mac OS 10.7.5. Sometimes the message is, "Could not create a backup", and sometimes the message is, "Unable to fetch a list of installed apps". Is anyone else having the same problems?
We have updated all software - OS, Configurator, iTunes, and all iOS Apps. We have 4 paid apps (iMovie, Pages, Keynote and Configurator), and no free apps for the VPP account on each iPad. Each iPad is named and assigned to one student. Students have their own iTunes account to add free apps as needed. The only way I have found that this works without error is to delete the student name from "Assign", but then I can't transfer any of their information when a device has problems. I have tried this with devices that are not having any problems to make sure it is not related to other problems. These problems did not exist until the iOS 7 update. Hopefully a Configurator update will be on the way soon?

Here is what worked for me in dealing with this hot mess.
Using iTunes, I went to each individual iPad and restored it to factory settings. Takes about 5 minutes per iPad.
When it was done, I didn't set it up as a new iPad, I simply clicked the "eject" button so it no longer appeared in my list, which prevented me from restoring the same iPad twice and wasting time.
Once all of them were done, which took an entire day, I opened up the updated version of configurator. All of the iPads restored and installed the apps that I need and the problem was solved.
Did this about five minutes ago. Time will tell if it sticks, but for now, they are fixed.
You could probably try to downgrade your iOS7 cart back to iOS6, that's what I ended up doing.

Connection and SMS Problem with Peoples/China Moblie (HK) using iPhone4s

I just signed up with Peoples/China Mobile (HK) service provider for apparently 2.5G service.
I face the following problems which the technical support of the service provider is unable to resolve and providing me any proper feedback:
1) SMS / messaging not working.
- Outgoing SMS all failed.
- Incoming SMS no issue.
2) Unstable and bad connection.
- No service in MTR.
- Upon coming out from the MTR station or location with no reception/elevator, the search for network is slow and service unattainable. The "No Service" sign on the top left screen remain as it is. You have to either restart the phone and force network search again. Very irritating and fustrating.
- Network search subsequent to above incidents are very long (5 minutes at least)
3) Regular service failure for basic phone calls
- Very unstable throughout the days.
Even the basic phone calls and SMS is far worse than my previous service plan. I cant even make/receive proper phone calls. SMS/messaging not working at all!!!!
So what is the root cause?
Iphone 4s glitch or bug? Should I send back to Apple?
or
Problem lies with the Service provider's connection (peoples/china mobile) ? Incompatible phone set versus 2,5G service provider?
Ah Huat
Fustrated customer!!

Your issue is more than likely bandwidth related although there is a lot of variables that can cause issues. You can use the free Speed Test app to test your network speed using your iPhone when the problem arises. This could tell you which end the issue is at. It may be anything from older slower wifi routers, slow Internet connection, which your provider may throttle for certain uses, or network congestion in your area especially if you use cable Internet.

EMail and SMS problem

hi
I just got a Blackberry Pearl. I configured it to receive my email. Now there is an email icon and all the email goes there. BUT it also started going into the folder that was the repository for SMS text messages. So someone told me to go into general options, select SMS and Email inboxes and choose Separate. I did that but wiht the net result that the SMS folder now shows only my email and the Email folder also shows my email.
The only way to get to my SMS inbox is to select the menu options, select View FOlder, then select SMS Inbox which is a little cumbersome.
How do i fix that so my emails go to my email folder and the SMSes go to my SMS folder?
ALso is there a way to prevent the Blackberry from notifying my every time i get a new email. I am fine with being notified when I get a new SMS?
thanks
Sandip
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To create seperate folders for email and sms, yes you open any of you message folders and hit the menu key, select options then general options, scroll down to sms and email inboxes, change that to seperate. then hit the back key and select save. You should now have a sms icon for text, an icon for each email and an icon for messages that will catch everything. If you do not have these icons try a battery pull. Remove the battery with the phone on and leave it out for 30 seconds. Replace it and allow the phone 1-3 minutes to reboot. Can you now find all the icons?

Droid Eris 2.1 update and facebook problems

I just downloaded the Eris 2.1 update and the new facebook update today. I have had nothing but trouble since then. I went to the Verizon store for help and got nowhere. The facebook widget does not work. The facebook ap works partway. I cannot retrieve the newsfeed or profile from the ap. HELP!

This may have already been covered... haven't read all the posts... but I have lost the following due to the 2.1 update... 1. SPEED DIALING... 2. WEATHER AND LOCATION ON THE HTC Sense UI... 3. Voice Dialer keeps arbitrarily starting and locking up. 4. When I pull up my APP KILLER, it shows random apps are running... with as many as 8 different apps (many of which I was not nor have not used) are active. It's no wonder battery is dying so rapidly.

10.4.7 update and USB problems

I have been experiencing problems with my USB devices (other than my Apple mouse and keyboard) since updating to 10.4.7. I have a card reader, a Palm device, a USB midi keyboard and a digital camera dock connected to a USB hub connected to the back of my Studio Display.
Randomly they start to beep like they do when the system boots or they are connected or reconnected without anything or anyone touching them. Sometimes they just beep, other times I lose functionality until I disconnect and reconnect the hub or device.
I have disconnected all, and connected just one or another (without the hub as well) but no matter what is connected I still get the same issue of the system thinking the devices are connecting or disconnecting at random times. This is new with 10.4.7, as I have had the same hardware connected as far back as 10.2. Anyone else having this problem, loss of USB functionality or sollution for such since updating to 10.4.7?

I too am having many of the same issues as all of you. I have my keyboard, mouse, and printer hooked up to a NEC USB 2.0 Manual Share Switch Hub. The hub is connected to a non-factory USB 2.0 card I installed in my PowerMac. Before the 10.4.7 update, I had none of these following problems.
Everything works and has worked great until I put the computer to sleep. Upon waking, the USB hub refuses to acknowledge my computer. I also get two strange beeps as it is waking. And because my input devices are hooked up to the hub, I am unable to do anything but restart the computer, upon which all becomes well again with the usb hub.
I defintely prefer to put my computer to sleep rather than restarting it everytime. Hopefully apple provides a fix soon; I really don't feel like messing with extensions. I could always revert back to 10.4.6, but I guess I was being optimistic that the fix would come soon. APPLE, get on it!

10.4.5 Update and Firewire Problems...

It seems that since my recent 10.4.5 update, my external firewire drive is not being recognized. Using System Profiler, there even seems to be difficulty for the profiler to provide any info when "firewire" is clicked on under "Hardware"; Profiler seems to search for any info re: firewire, but produces nothing.
I have shut down and rebooted the computer, turned off/on the FWD, changed cable ports... I am considering re-installing 10.4.4 to see if that might make a difference.
Any clues or insights??? I can't access my external FWD!!
Thanks!
Todd

Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work!
First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
If that did'nt work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours is the 10.4.5 Combo update. Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system.
If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good!
Good Luck!
Cheers!
