2.2 Update NOT good for ALLY

So yah...My screen has been freezing up, SD card problems, text messaging problems, battery draining faster than ever before, phone has been shutting itself down...
Anyone else think the 2.2 update sucks??

From everything (both positive and negative) I have read about this phone and others like it, you will probably always have to do a restore when you install a major update.
For instance, my iPod Touch had the older software when I first purchased it a year ago, when they came out with the newer ones and the new ISO 4, it told me that a software upgrade was available. After installing it, nothing worked correctly and after 3 days on the phone with Apple Tech Support (which was horrible. You can't do anything with them unless you file an internet case order first.. or so they tell you), I just decided to restore it! Problem solved!
I imagine that these "smart" phones just like my iPod have back-up options that will allow you to recover everything with little to no hassell. You just have to take the time to keep it synced and up to date whenever you add new apps. When something new comes out, restores are necessary. I have learned that. Just like when you do something on your computer, it shuts down and reboots. Its the same principle!

  • ITunes 11.4 update not good for Mac os 10.6.8?  Can time machine help?

    I am using an iMac from 2006 (32) running snow leopard.  When I updated to the latest iTunes, my iPhone will no longer sync.  I have a very large library and I have ratings on every song.  (Started rating them since the first version of iTunes came out)  I use time machine and have a backup from a couple of days ago.  Is it possible to use time machine to go back to the previous version using time machine without losing my playlists and ratings?

    Hi Ryan,
    I managed to find this reference specifically for restoring on Snow Leopard:
    If you are using Mac OS X Snow Leopard, start your computer from the installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility.
    Now that was copied from this more comprehensive reference:
    Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
    You may also find this article helpful:
    http://pondini.org/TM/14.html
    Finally, I cannot see why Time Machine would leave out your playlists and ratings? Think about it. Why would Time Machine specifically copy everything BUT your playlists and ratings? Ryan, what are your options? I would have to ask you this: Are you certain that you properly did the sync? That is another/different forum altogether: Using iPhone /see subsection on Syncing.
    Either way...
    Best Regards,
    mm
    EDIT: For whatever reason I tried three times to edit out one of the redundent adjectives... either different or another which preceeds the word forum, but the advanced editor would (apparently NOT allow me to do so). I hope that it doesn't render without any adjective before the word forum.

  • This new update for the iphone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are haing trouble.

    This new update for the iPhone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5 or all. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are having trouble.

    iOS 6 can be loaded without problem on the 3GS.  Not all features are supported however.
    With respect to your reading people are having trouble, what did you expect to see on this technical support forum?  People don't write in to state they have a trouble-free upgrade.

  • I cannot update iPhoto as I receive a message saying update not available for this Apple ID as either it was bought by a different user or was cancelled

    I have inherited my daughters Macbook Air and am trying to update i photo. The message I receive is - update not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or item was refunded or cancelled.
    I have tried her ID which was still unsuccessful.
    I cannot access my photos at all. Can anyone help?

    Hi Queenstown2014,
    Sign onto her Apple/iTunes ID in the iTunes Store. Then click on the iTunes ID and then on Account in the dropdown. Once you have her account screen displaying, scroll to the bottom and click on RESET next to the line "Reset All Warnings for Buying and Downloading", then try again (with her iTunes ID still signed on).
    Cheers,

  • Why Lumia710 is "update not available" for "Taiwan...

    I bought Lumia710 in Taiwan, I think Nokia also sold many 710 for Taiwan people.
    But why Lumia710 is update not available for Taiwan users ?
    We also need new features and further enhancements to the Nokia Lumia710 in Taiwan.
    We waiting for
    Latest Windows Phone operating system (Note. This is not WP 7.8 yet.)
    Internet sharing (Wi-Fi Hotspot) — Share your phone's internet connection over Wi-Fi with up to five other devices or computers.
    Flip to silence — Silence incoming calls by turning your phone face down.
    Fix to prevent the volume of the ringtone temporarily increasing (Lumia 800 specific)
    Download new apps from Marketplace, such as camera extras, including smart group shot and self-timer, Contacts share, and Play To, a DLNA app for showing your content wirelessly.
    Usability and performance improvements.
    Additionally Camera Extras (incl. smart group shots, panorama, action shots, etc.) will be available from the Marketplace plus other new imaging apps (like Citylens).
    But just only Taiwan's Lumia710 users got update not available in Asia pacific.
    It is mean : Latest version of software update will not be launched for this product code and/or country.
    So anybody can answer me ? Tell me why ? Why without Taiwan users ?
    Best Regards,
    Kevin

    Dear Kevinluh, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
    I understand your frustration, however update availability can vary depending on Region and carrier, this is because some regions and carriers may not have signed off the update or have policies preventing the update occuring.
    We hope you understand, please get in touch with your local Nokia Care line for more information regarding the update.
    Regards

    I've fixed the problem - I think.
    I forgot I had the program "Little Snitch" installed on my computer. So I went into it and saw that it was blocking most of my connections for all the programs I use on a daily basis. Once I lifted the RULE to those certain programs - BAM - everything came back to life in an instant!

  • Upgraded to Yosemite,  Created new apple ID as couldn't remember last one now can't update iPhoto receive message this update not available for this apple Id either because it was bought by a different user or item refunded or cancelled.

    upgraded to Yosemite and now can't update Iphoto or Imovies receiving message this update not available for this apple ID because it was bought by a different user or item refunded or cancelled.  Is there an easy fix

    Unfortunately, anything obtained at the app store remains tied to the Apple ID used to obtain it forever. You will either have to start over with your new ID or try to recover the original ID.

    After downloading Yosemite iPhoto is blocked.  Directed to update.  Update error message: Update not available for this ID either because it was bought by a different user.....  This could be because my iPhone is now linked to the Mac and it is recognising that ID.

  • Still blutooth update not available for 7.8 u said...

    update not available for 7.8 u said couple of days
    Pls gv specific date

    Apparently the Bluetooth Share app has re-appeared in the Nokia collection in the Marketplace for some regions over the last week or so. If you still do not have the update in a week's time, then I suggest that you contact your local Nokia Care for clarity on the matter, or source the QR codes to download the app directly: http://nokia.com/support

  • I had my MBP near two finger length magnets and someone told me that its not good for computers! Anyone's opinions on this cause my computer seems fine?

    I had my MBP near two finger length magnets and someone told me that its not good for computers! Anyone's opinions on this cause my computer seems fine?

    Don't worry about it.  The MBP has built-in magnets.  Does magsafe power connector ring a bell?  The motor inside of the hard drive has a magnet.
    You would need an extremely powerful magnet to affect a hard drive.  I'm sure the electromagnet they use at a scrap yard to pick up a car could do it.
    A long time ago I tried to erase some floppy diskettes by placing a magnet directly against the outer cover of the diskette.  It had no effect on the recorded data.

  • Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4?

    Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4? Will it ever be available? I cannont afford a new Iphone at this time so why am i being penalized for not having a new Iphone. Very upset

    Well of course they would, but that's not why iPhone 4 can't have iOS8.  It is simply the fact iPhone 4 can't support the features of iOS8.  Le'ts be realistic in recognizing iPhone 4 is now over 4 years old.  In cell phone land, that is ancient........

  • IPod not updating: Not eligible for requested build?

    On plugging in my iPod Touch (4th Generation) it comes up "This iPod is not eligable for the requested build" aftering the backing up and verifying sequence.
    Now, since attempting to update to iOS5, I can't restore to an earlier version because it's just.. caput.
    On doing a direct file update, I get 3002 Error.

    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

  • Starting a car constantly is not good for the engine

    So then should you leave the lap top on 24/7 or would it be better to shut it off when not used for more than 3 hours. Or is stand-by better for overnight rather than turning it off?

    Great question wm...there is no one standard practice, all in the owners desire for either a rapid return to last used session, ability to flip open and process new items, essentially convenience.  With the improvements made in the past years of integration of components, heat dissapation, better battery construction-ion style an improvement for sure, only the individual can decide.
    He is something which can generally be stated:  Where you live makes a difference-sand dust, high humidity, POWER OUTAGES/SPIKES.
    Do you want to avoid viruses?  Although you have a good AV product, the internet connection can allow hacker to get in riding the premise of allowing email to be consistently downloaded. Remember the automatic update cycle you created time line input?  Keeping the unit cleaned-free of dust mites around fan and exhaust areas, unplugging external devices,and a number of other preventative measures can be listed.  Individual does as one likes. 
    I know-so what does Defender do..I unplug the unit from house outlet just as an old school precaution.  Seen too many of the LCD screens loose pixel ratio.
