4G/LTE and the dread i5 battery gremlin

Got my i5 in Dec. '12. After understanding its many knobs and buttons (touchy/feely ones, naturally), given that I was a Nokia fanboi previously and total iPhone virgin, finally got a setup that let the battery last for almost 4 days with moderate use. At the time, the carrier had grossly overestimated bandwidth requirements and they had to shut down their 4G/LTE service, so the phone ran on 3G without problems. i5 life was reasonably good.
Then early last week, the carrier finally had the capacity to feed all the bunches of i4 and i5 it managed to sell for Xmas, so they fired up their 4G/LTE antennas. Connectivity was actually faster than my office LAN, notwithstanding that we have a 1Gbps pipe to the outside world.... And the battery went dead in a similar breathtaking fashion. Given that it was the only change in my i5 world, it had to be the cause, as Sherlock Holmes would deduce.
Nowadays, the Settings/General/Cellular/Enable LTE toggle has become the most used control on the phone. Up for any sort of download or Internet activity, down for the rest of the time. And battery life has thankfully returned to what it used to be.
Too bad that SIRI is too dumb to understand a simple "disable LTE" command. Or that there's no app capable of creating configuration profiles and switching between them with a simple click. Such are the hardships of us poor iPhone owners...
And by the way, don't forget the latest iOS 6.1.3 update is out!

Same issue with me. My Iphone6 not picking LTE signal from ATT.
nothing working. tried several options like reset ...
any solution you have please share

Ever since I downloaded IOS 5.0.1 and the so called battery update my ipodtouch 4g can be fully charged play a few songs and its dead

ever since I downloaded ios 5. and the battery update on my ipodtouch 4gen it can be fully charged play like three songs then it says 20%left then it dies. My ipod was fine before the download.

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing wil be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem than an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Powerbook and the dreaded alternating ? and smiling face in a folder.

Hi, My G4 Powerbook has had a dead main battery for ages and I use it plugged in. It recently started losing wifi settings and date and time. I read on a forum that it was the PRAM battery and that it had drained and to take out the main battery and leave on charge for 48hrs. I did that.
As an aside I had upgraded recently to OS 10.5.8 and done a clean install at the time.
The computer then would make the start up sound but not launch the screen. This seemed to resolve itself however it then launched straight into Open Firmware saying bad memory (or something like that) and to type mac-boot so I did and then it just gave me the flashing ? and face folder.
I reset the PRAM and NVRAM in the open firmware but no good.
I found something on Bombich that said about how to setenv so I tried that (probably should not have done before asking here) No joy.
It started opening to the apple logo then the shade came down and the restart you computer by holding down the start button text came up.
I have plugged the laptop in in firewire mode (holding down the T button on start up) The hard disc still seems good.
I have tried holding down C to get it to start on a bootable CD no joy.
The machine currently starts up chimes and then goes to the flashing folder/? logo.
I have run out of ideas anyone got any thoughts.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...

Most likely the RAM is bad. (memory)
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

Podcasts and the dreaded exclamation point

Most of my podcasts will no longer update. This actually started BEFORE iTunes 7. I can see new episodes are available but when I try to download I get messages like "this URL was not found on the server". Per another poster, I tried deleting and reloading one of the podcast subscriptions. Not only did I lose everything, I cannot resubscribe. I get the URL message. I can, however manually download individual episodes (pain in the...)
How can I escape the ! ?

I'm having similar problems with the dreaded exclamation point. Even after reading several threads, my problem still isn't solved. Here's the lowdown:
I've tested this feed on 7 different computers (5 PCs, 2 Macs).
All but 2 of the computers can subscribe and download the episodes with no problems. The troublesome computers? One PC. And one Mac.
The feed has been redirected through FeedBurner. I'm subscribing manually (and yes, I typed the feed correctly).
On the problem PC, I can't even get iTunes to recognize the podcast.
When I subscribe to the "original" .xml doc (not through FeedBurner), it works fine.
On the problem Mac, I can subscribe to the podcast. The episodes appear. But none of them will download. I get the exclamation point each time. Clicking on it reveals this message: "There was a problem adding ('Episode Name') to iTunes. The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play."
When I subscribe to the "original" .xml doc (not through FeedBurner), it gives the same results.
The problem computers are both running iTunes 7.0.2 (15)
The 5 computers that work (Mac and PC) are running various versions of iTunes.
I've downloaded some random podcasts from the iTunes Store on the Mac. Some work. Some still give me the exclamation point.
I've downloaded some random podcasts (even others from FeedBurner) on the PC. Everything works - except the one I really need.

Can anyone help?

MacTel iMac and the dreaded fan noise...

a buddy of mine bought an iMac G5 2 Ghz last June and mentioned having no problem with the dreaded fan noises of said iMac. fast forward to last week when we got together to do some nerdy stuff in front of same iMac when he casually mentions to me. "my fans have been going crazy lately" ... not that his iMac sounds like a jet turbine or anything, but it got me thinking about the new "Intel Inside" Macs. and with two cores inside, goodness!
so b4 i rush out and buy one of these babies -- i'm going to wait and see regarding the fans. but it will be interesting to see how all of this plays out.
CMM.
PS.. i am a bit amazed (and elated!) that the Intel Inside Macs have already become a reality -- 6 months sooner than expected. (who would have thought!)
YAY!

Miriam,
Maybe I was a little premature. I just went to abc.com to watch the last episode of Men in Trees and here's the results.
With ABC video running (maybe quarter screen size), the CPU was running at a steady 65-70%, CPU temp 69.8, CPU fan 4791-4814 steady (very loud).
Didn't seem to be a high bandwidth download as net was clicking at 117 Kb/sec.
Oh well...don't really consider this very good performance. The fan went down to the 2700 range on reduced, but then the video was choppy. Good thing my capacitors are leaking...Maybe I'll get a Core 2 under my 3 year Apple Care.

BT Netprotect and the dreaded white screen

I see a lot of negatives on this site about BT Netprotect but it has always worked for me. My pc has a decent processor and memory bank so resources have not been a problem. So you can imagine my dismay when Netprotect would not load and simply presented the dreaded white screen. More dismay when I could not remove it using windows 7 or ccleaner. Tried all sorts including a big old swear at the inanimate object. Feeling better at having got my frustrations off my chest I decided that for whatever reason Netprotect had gone. In a moment of pure genius (blush) I decided to try and reinstall. I logged into my BT account and followed the links. Downloaded the files and watched with childlike smugness as McAfee deleted all the old files and reinstalled new ones. One check for updates and a full scan later and the smugness was at swmbo is gonna slap me levels. It was worth it, it worked. If you have the same problem it may work for you. Downsides, stupid program made me delete Spybot and Malwarebytes as "unsafe", now reinstalled and working fine. 'Ells bells, BT labs use Malwarebytes! Netprotect may not be perfect, is resource greedy and can frustrate you, but the white screen menace can be beaten.
Of course when I boot my pc tomorrow (okay today now), if I see a white screen and a McAfee logo, swmbo may yet see a grown man cry.....

Glad you got it sorted. Reinstalling often sorts out problem software, having said that I still wouldn't have BTNetprotect on my computer. I have never heard of any other antivirus giving any problems like the amount that BTNetprotect and McAfee does.

Is the 593554-001 and the 559553-001 Battery the same thing?

My laptop is now saying that my battery is having problems... so i want to get in front of it and get a new battery before something happens and i lose everything... My battery says replace with a 593554-001 so that is what I should replace it with right?? I am so confused by all of these knock off brands. I just want to get the right one at a good price. Can any one out there help me.
Thank,
Tara

Hi Tara,
593554-001 (2.55Ah, 55Wh) is of higher capacity than 593553-001 (2.2Ah, 47Wh)
http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?SearchText=593554-001
http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?SearchText=593553-001
Essentially both are 6 cell Li ion battery with 10.8V. You have to find similar batteries with the same voltage . Better go with higher capacity as it would last longer after a full charge.
It is not mandatory you go with the exact part. If you're in warranty, then you can order for the exact part. Ideally its recommended to use HP OEM battery mentioned as they last longer & are more reliable.
These are some I found:

This one is heavier & larger capacity one:

Droid Incredible and the new 2150maH battery

I've been waiting and waiting and they finally got them so I ordered one as soon as I found out. I received it yesterday and went ahead and turned off my phone for a few hours to charge it all the way up. I then finished out my day and put it on the charger overnight while I slept as usual.
Today I have to say, I'm impressed. I'm finally fully happy with my Incredible. I ordered my phone the first day it was available, switching from a Moto Droid and I received it on the 29th or whatever the release date was so I've had it about as long as anyone has. (although some lucky dogs on this forum got theirs a couple days early ) Since then, I've always liked the phone but I've been very, very disappointed with the battery life. It's just atrocious and altogether underpowered for this phone. The included battery is nothing more than a fundamental design flaw. It is obvious to me that they shipped with the stock battery to promote form over function. That's great for those worried about pretty, slim, shiny phones; but for those folks who actually want to use their phones to the fullest extent, it's ridiculous. I am simply not a casual user in any sense of the word. My phone is what keeps my life on track, as sad as that may sound. Everything I do and all of the info I need is synced in one way or another on my phone, and I felt crippled because if I used it for any amount of time do anything that I needed to do, the battery literally wouldn't last the day. How very frustrating.
But that's the end of my rant about the stock battery in the Incredible.
I can now say that I believe that my phone can live up to it's name. I've spent all day using my phone the way I WANT TO! Not in some cut-back fashion that allowed the battery to last until I get home so I can charge it. I can actually leave the wifi on. I can actually allow my GPS to become active when my applications need it. Tasks killers?? Nope. It doesn't matter. It's 4:30 here and I can say with certainty that my battery will last throughout at least the rest of today, and I have abused it as far as usage goes. I know about casual vs. power usage and I'm definitely a power user of my phone.
Sure, it's a little thicker, but again, I'm definitely not a form over function kind of person. I'll take the trade-off. My phone is not a centerpiece for others to gawk at, it's a tool for me to use to do the things I need and want to do. I wish I didn't have to spend extra money for my phone to function the way it should have out of the box, but I was willing to do whatever to get it to perform to my standards.
Possibly the best money I've spent with Verizon so far.

Wow they finally came out with it huh.... geez that looks about the same size.. You should just go order the factory one from VZW, and pay far less, and have it in two days, and the battery life will work just fine for you.
Don't get me wrong, I'd take it.... But you could survive on the 2150 if you wanted..
Any word on extended cases yet?

Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start which eventually leads to windows error 193 which never goes away no matter what I do and the dreaded

Mid way through download of I-Tunes after clearing every Apple program from my computer I get "Apple Mobile Device Service" failed to start message. Eventually leading to Windows error 193 (error 7). How do I get Apple Mobile Device Service to start so I do not get error messages and failure of I-Tunes to install?

If you have a 64-bit machine, then try the "for older video cards" version...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Lightroom 3, Epson R2400 and the dreaded magenta cast

A customer called me to say her printer was broken and nothing she could do would make her Epson R2400 print accurately from Lightroom on her iMac running Snow Leopard. I visited expecting to have to sort out a double profiling issue or a clogged printer.
However, this was not the case. A nozzle check revealed very mild clogging on the light cyan cartridge but nothing too bad and it cleared quickly. Checking the print settings in Lightroom and the Epson driver settings suggested that there wasn't a problem there either - colour managed by a profile in Lightroom with printer colour management turned off. A couple of test prints resulted in images with a definite over-all magenta cast. Plodding through threads on this forum and others came up with all the usual profile issues which I reckoned were not applicable in this case. Still, I downloaded and reinstalled the Epson driver and also the icc profiles for the papers being used, in this instance those supplied by Permajet, in case there was some corruption. The problem persisted.
Now there are a lot of speculative solutions out on the web, some of them involving tweaks to the OS, others recommending monitor profiling (not the problem here) and some suggeting the use of elaborate presets to distort the colours to a printable result. None of these seemed useful - the screen colour was fine and the histograms weren't unbalanced in a magenta direction. It should just work.
Then I wondered about the little 16 Bit checkbox. What if I ticked that? Result - PERFECT. Lovely colour immediately. Now, I'm not sure why printing in 16 Bit should sort out the magenta cast in this case but it does. There is a general opinion, even in books such as that by Martin Evening, that 16 Bit is an interesting option but not vital. In the case outlined here it is vital.
So, if you are having magenta cast problems try ticking the 16 Bit box. It may just save your last clumps of hair from being torn out.

I wouldn't argue with you re the R2400 and its capabilities as it isn't mine and I didn't have any of its literature while trying to get to the bottom of the problem. The profiles I tried were Epson's own and a Permajet one from their website. Both produced magenta results until 16 Bit was turned on, or at least that seemed the trigger for the better results. Unexpected, I agree.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus LTE and the iPad

I had Unlimited Data on my VZW account and I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus (which uses a microSIM)
Would I be able to pop my Nexus sim into the iPad and start using the data from my VZW account on my iPad?
I've swapped SIM's with other 4G phones (Thunderbolt SIM with a MiFi). I get service disruption ocassionaly but a quick reboot fixes it.
I assume that the disruption is caused by software issues on the MiFi or Verizon's LTE service.

Certainly not going to renew with Verizon and I'm in the same boat about jumping ship early. Depending on the prices, specs, and manufactures of the next crop of Nexus devices will determine if and when I jump ship early. Never again will I be on a cellular contract or use a locked phone. Verizon may claim to have the best network, but the other networks are not nearly as bad as Verizon's handling of the Nexus. The ** about the delays be caused by "extensive" testing sure did a lot of good for the Nexus. Shortly after launch day OTA for bug fixes and then 4.0.4 delayed for 5 months just to get a somewhat more usable radio set. At least if a straight from Google Nexus has an issue you can expect it to be fixed in days or weeks, not months.

790fx-gd70 and the dreaded FF

Hi!
first, my hardware:
MSI 790FX-GD70, 790FX (dual PC3-10667U DDR3) (7577-010R)
AMD Phenom II X4 955 (C2) Black Edition, 4x 3.20GHz, boxed (HDZ955FBGIBOX)
a) OCZ Platinum Low-Voltage DIMM Kit 4GB PC3-10667U CL7-7-7-20 (DDR3-1333) (OCZ3P1333LV4GK)
b) Kingston ValueRAM DIMM 2GB PC3-10667U CL9 (DDR3-1333) (KVR1333D3N9/2G)
Gigabyte Radeon HD 4350, 512MB DDR2, VGA, DVI, HDMI, PCIe 2.0 (GV-R435OC-512I)
LC-Power Silent Giant LC6550GP2 Green Power 550W, ATX 2.2
I just got a brand new 790fx-gd70 out of RMA (I had to RMA my original board because I tried flashing bios via the m-flash).
As I have intel certified memory I flashed the latest 1.7 bios (with the help of the utility). A few day all was good, when my computer started freezing. I pinpointed the problem to a faulty memory stick and send it to RMA.
I put the Kingston memory in as a temporary fix till I get the OCZ from RAM and just in case ran memtest. After a few errors, memtest froze and after the reboot I ended up with the FF on the display.
If I remove the memory module I get three beeps, but it's still stuck at FF.
Any ideas what I should do next? I don't have the patience to RMA the board again as i'll probably have to wait another 30 days...
Thanks for any answers.

Looks like a combined problem.
However the first can be caused by that junk powersupply.
You can't get a decent powersupply for 30 Euro.....just see the figures: +12V @ 16A

Itunes and the dreaded !

hey guys, i just reformated my pc and i was able to transfer my library over replacing the new itunes folder from the fresh install with my old backup folder. This worked perfect.. now im having a problem, my music was always stored on "c->my downloads", so i put it there again. After i do that, itunes cant find my mp3s from my downloads folder. Then i went into preferences and switched the destination of my music to c->my downloads from the default (my documents->my music->itunes->etc.) so when i did this, at first i had 400 seperate mp3's in my downloads folder, now after this i have 30 seperate folders named after the artist, and now its gonna be a HARD time to get them all out of the folders and into seperate mp3's.(to be a lil more clear, i used to have 400 mp3's, now i have 30 folders named after the artist, with the 400 songs in them).
Anyone now a solution to this?
let me know
thanks
kareemE

Alright, i got everything to seperate mp3's, now im having the problem of all the exclamation marks not going away, it is not finding my music in the folder im designating it to.
is there a quick solution for this?

Mail for Exchange and the dreaded 500 error!

Hi
I've recently got myself a Nokia 5800 and have been trying to get Mail for Exchange working for the past week and a half.
I've read and actioned almost every suggestion that I can find on the web but still no joy!
The jist of the problem is as follows:-
1. I created my profile which uses a secure connection and attempted to sync but no joy
2. I downloaded the SSL certificate from our OWA server (provided by Equifax to my phone), tried again, still no joy.
3. Next I downloaded a PDA emulator and configured activesync on it, after downloading and installing the certificate Activsync worked fine.
4. I can access Outlook Web access and OMA fine.
5. One of my colleagues has a Sony Ericson K700 phone and he has managed to get activesync working fine.
Becuase of the above I'm thinking that there are certain issues with the Nokia 5800 and Mail for exchange in an SSL environment.
I've had a scan through the logs on our OWA mail server but there are none that even indicate that my phone is getting to the server.
I work in an IT team so consider myselft as reasonably technically astute.
Here's the logfile from the phone.

I'm not sure whether this is relevant or not but when I got activesync working on the PDA emulator I noticed this error in the application log of the exchange server.
Unexpected Exchange mailbox Server error: Server: [mailboxserver.domain.co.uk] User: [[email protected]] HTTP status code: [409]. Verify that the Exchange mailbox Server is working correctly.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Any help is massively appreciated!
Thanks

Can nobody help with this?
