A few rants in one place - Nokia / S60 3rd Ed issu...

Hi,
Having owned several Nokia Series 60 phones from a 6600 to my current N95, I feel it's time to ask for a few changes to be made. Can someone from Nokia please pass this on to development:
1) Music
Why can't the music player be restricted to scanning only certain folders or be told not to scan the phone. I have ringtones on the handset and music on the card and Music player refresh finds all and I get a messy list of artists/albums/genres
2) Gallery (Images & Videos)
Why can't gallery be tailored to only scan certain folders. I have had to remove all my tomtom POIs cos gallery shows me all the little bmp files and this gets up my nose
3) Contacts
If I open contacts and highlight a contact and then select options->send message, when I am done, contacts has closed. If however, I open a contact, highlight the number to dial and either select options->voice call or press the green call key, when the call ends, contacts is still open in background. The next time I want to use a contact, I open contacts and I have to press the back key as the last contact used is presented on screen. I hate inconsistency
4) Active standby
Why am I informed of daily events on the day they occur but am informed of appointments a week before they occur
Why can I not turn off the search and wlan scanning lines in active standby? I never use them and they get in the way of useful pim entries
5) Outlook synching
Why do events that repeat annually synch ok (as anniversaries) but ones that repeat monthly (1st sat of each month) do not
6) Slide and calls (N95)
Why is there no option to end a call using the slide? I have to use a bit of freeware to accomplish this (not the end of the world but...)
7) Standard power saver
Who can read the small date/time power saver. Again I have to use another bit of freeware to be able to read it - why not a font size option?
8) GPS
Can the internal GPS receiver be internally linked to a pseudo bluetooth device so tomtom can see it. Tomtom uses no data whereas MAPS is pretty useless without network access for data and I do not have an inclusive data plan
These S60 phones and especially the N95 are brilliant but would be even better if someone fixed these annoyances, in my oppinion that is.
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Brian.

might be a bit late with this one, but i agree with most of your rants, but i can help with the tom tom.
someone developed some software which simulates an external gps using the internal device and you run it in conjunction with Tom Tom. Cant get the program to run with my 6220 classic, but im assured it works fine with the n95 and phones with the same software and below.
Its not illegal stuff or modifying anything to do with the phone and its free, so im hoping this post wont get deleted.
its called GPSd (google GPSd internal bluetooth and it should bring up lots of hits). cant remember where i got it from, but if you cant find it, ill send you the version i have

Weight/dimensions of brand new wireless keyboard? Use with Nokia S60 3rd?

Hi,
I am considering the new apple wireless keyboard (aluminium) to use with my Nokia N80 / N95 phones, but the exact specifications are nowhere to be found.
Can anyone tell me if it is:
- compatible with the bluetooth HDI profile like the previous model?
- how much it weighs?
- what its dimensions are?
Has anyone, by any chance, tried using it with a Nokia S60 3rd edition phone like a nokia E series or N series?

hi there,
yes, i can confirm the usage of the new bluetooth aluminium keyboard in conjunction with my nokia n95 via the 'wireless keyboard' -application which is located in the office-folder of the n95.
i got it paired with no problems and the usage itself is also perfect.
best,

Wanna add Nokia S60 emulators to WTK 2.5.1

Hi, guys!
I installed the Nokia S60 3rd Edition SDK for Symbian OS, Supporting Feature Pack 2, for MIDP (Beta release) into the direcotry C:\S60 and its emulators works well with Netbeans IDE 5.5.1 with mobility pack.
Now I want to add the emulators from the Nokia S60 3rd Edition SDK to Sun Java Wireless Toolkit 2.5.1. I followed the instructions found in Sun Java Wireless Toolkit for CLDC User's Guide, cited below for convinience of reference:
"The procedure is usually to unpack or install the third party emulator, then copy its directory into toolkit\wtklib\devices (Windows) or into toolkit/wtklib/devices (Linux). The next time you run the toolkit, the emulator is available."
I copied the dirctory S60_3rd_MIDP_SDK_FP2_Beta from C:\S60\devices\S60_3rd_MIDP_SDK_FP2_Beta to the dirctory C:\WTK2.5.1\wtklib\devices. But I just can't find the S60 emulators in the WTK as I did in the NetBeans IDE.
Could anyone kindly tell me what's wrong with my settings? thanks a lot!

Having the same issue. Help please!

Can I publish iWeb sites and Gallery albums in one place?

My Gallery has 66 personal photo albums of simple events (each photo with a caption). Using iWeb, I also have created a multi-page personal website of photos for each of 16 complex events (each site has a welcome page followed by 3-5 photo pages, and all pages have a few sentences of introduction). Now that my beloved Apple has spurned me, I'm hoping to get even, sort of, and post everything--all my photo albums and all my photo websites--in one place. This requires more complexity than I've seen in hunting among suggested replacments for iWeb or Gallery.
In my drooling ignorance, I can imagine a website that has a few levels. On one level are key photos for all gallery albums PLUS key photos for all websites. A user clicks on the main photo of an album or website, and it opens either an album's photos (the current gallery way) or a site's welcome page.
As best I can tell, I want too much. As promising as a site like Zangzing appears, it and others are limited to a single level of photos or to some six interior pages.
Level one shows the key photo for each gallery album AND a key , and has a grand welcome page with linkClick on an album photo and it opens all the album's photos. Click on a website photo, and it opens to s that read, say, "Albums 2000-2005," "Albums 2006-2012," "Websites 2000-2005," Websites 2006-2012." At the next level, each album and each website appears . A Even better would be page links that intersperse albums and websites in chronological order. A user click on the main photo of an album or website and it opens either
lists albums in, say, five-year clusters an for --, perhaps one page for lots of links, maybe albums by years and websites by years.
albums top-level row of albums (like Gallery) with the websites peppered among them. Click on a website photo

PLEASE IGNORE ANY EARLIER VERSION. IT'S A DRAFT OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTION . . .
My Gallery has 66 personal photo albums of simple events (each photo has a caption). Using iWeb, I also have created 16 personal websites of photos of complex events (each site has a welcome page followed by 3-5 photo pages, and all pages have a few sentences of introduction). Now that my beloved Apple has spurned me, I'm hoping to get even, sort of, and post everything--all my photo albums and all my photo websites--in one place. This requires more complexity than I've seen in hunting among suggested replacements for Gallery or iWeb.
In my drooling ignorance, I can imagine a master website that has a few levels. On one level are key photos for all gallery albums PLUS key photos for all websites. When a user clicks on the key photo of an album or website, it opens either an album's photos (the current Gallery way) or a site's welcome page.
As best I can tell, I want too much. As promising as a site like ZangZing seems, it and others seem limited to a single level of photos or to some six interior pages (far fewer than my 16 iWeb sites). Maybe I could create a grand entrance page that has links that read, say, "Albums 2000-2005," "Albums 2006-2012," "Websites 2000-2005," Websites 2006-2012." But then I'd be burying the albums and sites themselves at lower levels.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to automatically repeat text typed in one place

I am trying to create a template, that will print off a page of very basic labels..no artwork or fancy stuff...just a name and a date...all labels identical for my girlfriends jam and pickle making ...Just jam jar labels that will be printed on sticky labels and printed out.
I have no idea what terms to each search for in the help or pages User guides... what is this called that will automatically mirror what is typed in one place in other text boxes? can it even be done?
I have the basic print setup fine to go betweent the print label borders, but I want to enter the text once, and have it automatically repeated in al the labels.
What is this called..what function am I looking ..I do not want to Copy and paste in to each text box, I just want to type in one text box and have it repeated in tall the others
Thanks
neil

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the responses.
Well yes, I was hoping for a magic 'Repeat Function, and sort of thougth I had used something like that before...but could nto remember what it was called.
I have been following the answers all day , but have been on and off aircraft all day and have nto been able to find time to try anything out or respond
I did try the mail merge option...but the pages documetn always had the Mail Merge option greyed out.
Eaarlier I just created the label i wanted and copied and pasted, but the Alt Option way is much easier...that combimed with teh Find Replace is the way to go i think for this
I rarely use any Office apps of any description, so every time I do...maybe once every few months, it is always a chore to remeber how to do things.
Thanks agsin

I want to use my Time Capsule as a central 'hub/hard-drive' in order to keep all my working files in one place. I then plan to use my laptops/desktops as peripheral devices for editing and creation of these files. Is it possible? Create a personal cloud?

Can someone advise as to whether i can do the following:

I am looking to have all my files in one place as i am hopelessly disorganised. I know the online clouds are a good solution (used Dropbox at work and uni for 3 years) however i am wanting to create my own 'dropbox/icloud' at home. So whenever i get back home with my laptop, any work i have been working on whilst out that day is updated to the timecapsule, and then ultimately as i turn on the other devices, they update to those newer versions of the files. Please tell me that the 3TB time capsule i have can do this, otherwise it feels rather overpriced as a wireless storage device?
Another note (to those in the know) If i am to be working on large files (REVIT/SOLIDWORKS/KEYSHOT/CREO/AUTOCAD) - is the timecapsule connection good enough to support editing and updating these files?
I know i may be asking a question that many have before, but as a bit of a technical novice I wanted a clear-cut answer to my specific circumstances. Your help is greatly appreciated.
(*can i use this WD hard-drive that is connected to the Time Capsule as a back up? so that the time machine back-ups/any back ups are also backed up onto this one? can the WD be a backup for the TC?)
Kind Regards
Joe

Can I access my husband's iTunes acct. from my iPad? I have his permission & pass code. We want to keep all music in one place & family accessible.

Can I access my husband's iTunes acct. from my iPad? i have his permission & pass code. We want to keep all music in one place & family accessible.

If you log into his account and download some of his past purchases on your iPad then you risk tying your iPad to his account for 90 days : iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
But it looks like that might change when iOS 8 is released in the Autumn (no date has been announced yet) : http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
If you have his content in your computer's iTunes library then you could sync it from there instead of risking the 90 days association on your iPad. If you don't then you could copy it from his computer and then sync it to your iPad e.g. copy his music to a flash drive and then add it to your library via File > Add To Library

Hello lynnettefromsk,
The article linked below details all of the locations that you may need to change your Apple ID. This process should not affect the state of anything on the device at the time.

I have movies, events, clips, etc. scattered over three macs, and would like to consolidate them in one place, hopefully in ONE library on an external HD. How, please!

Try forcing iPhoto to load the Library on the External Hard drive by launching it while holding down the Option key. Choose the Library on the External HD, and quit iPhoto, see if iMovie can see the Library with the iPhoto Videos contained inside.

I've been trying to down load the new itunes version and I'm stuck on All your music in one place but now it's been stuck there for over 20 minutes. Do I need to start over or is this normal?

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

Is there a way to create my own app store that I can share with employees? I'm thinking apps that we've identified as important or needed, all in one place.

Not exactly your own app store, but close. Apple has an App Store Volume Purchasing Program for Business > http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
It allows you to purchase apps in any quantity you desire and pay using a company credit card. You will receive a spreadsheet of redeem codes which you distribute to your emloyees. The program guide has complete information > http://images.apple.com/business/docs/VPP_Business_Guide_US.pdf

How do i find and see all media files from email in one place?

I'm trying to find all the pictures and movies people have sent me over the years in emails and then extract them to put them into Aperture. Is there a way of doing this simply? ideally not manually where i have to open each email and save attachment but can see the attachments in one place and decide which ones to grab.
Thanks

You can select any number of keyframes in a timeline and drag those keyframes forward or back in the timeline without altering any other layers. You can also select a range of frames by selecting one keyframe and then shift clicking on a second keyframe in the same layer. With these frames selected you then drag this selection left or right in that layer to move it forward or back in time. You can have more than one selection moving in more than one layer.
Alternately, you can add or delete frames from any layer. You can select more than one frame in a layer and then delete those selected frames. All of these methods are "undo-able", but you still may want to make a copy of your file before you begin a massive edit. Save after every edit of the timeline so that you don't overtax your memory.

Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative cloud not the same? idea- one place(stored date) for all application ??????

Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative cloud not the same? idea- one place(stored date) for all application ??????

Lightroom Mobile is not a cloud storage service. You shouldn't treat it as a way of backing up your files. You are merely storing Smart Previews of your files in the cloud space, high-quality JPEGs of your files regardless of their original format on your desktop. The point is that they are there so you can continue editing them in a Lightroom-like environment even while away from your desktop/laptop computer. The files in Lightroom Mobile can only be used in Lightroom Mobile.
This is very different from what is offered by the Creative Cloud storage, which can be used to synchronize your files between any device (that can support the individual files).
The vast difference in how each service works and its intended use is why they are separate.

iCloud's mail server settings are different from MobileMe's. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
iCloud cannot access your AOL account (the MobileMe facility for checking external POP accounts does not exist in iCloud) - you will have to do this in the Mail application in the usual way. You could of course set up forwarding from your AOL account to iCloud (assuming they provide this facility) but you will not be able to reply using iCloud's SMTP server with anything other than the iCloud address as the 'From' address.
