Aggravation

i normally do not post. but am extremely frustrated.  i design computers for a living and i am really good at doing this. the software QA on the new x850c is  terrible. my setup is: tivo for tv, apple tv, and blue ray.  then thru ARC to a sony sound bar -  XT1,  one of the hdmi to the sound bar is a mac mini (as a media server). the video is outsstanding right out the box.  no complaints.  i increased the brightness to 35 to 30.  also disabled the light sensor stuff. absolutely georgeous. especially the price.  i thought not have local dimming would hurt the picture.  but it does not. a smart tv is really a computer with a monitor app.  the monitor app is best a B-.  as other people have noted in their posts,  the netflix and amazon apps are broken.  the netflix app should use the yellow and blue buttons for home and search (like the amazon app).  even with the new download,  the set seems to randomly bootstrap, especially when you switch form tv to home (and thus get to stream amazon/netflix, etc).  contacting sony support is generally a waste of time for any real problem. either reset and bootstrap or we know that is a problem.  i was hoping that using adroid (which is a great decison) as opposed to sony's own OS would provide a great user experience.  well it does not.  sony need to utiliize rigorous software testing and QA standards for their software.  Also. as noted by one post,  they need a REAL user manual. so close, so close.  if apple or google ever really produce a 4K HD TV,  sony and samsung could become the next  blueberry. ahhhhhh

  • My Galaxy S4 continues to crash, have no cell signal or internet signal since the last update. Can someone please help? I didn't have this problem until this last update and it is really aggravating!

    Since this last update, something has happened to not only my phone, but to my daughters phone as well. We are constantly having to restart our phone and have no cell coverage or internet access in places we used to have no problems at all. This is very aggravating and I am ready to ditch the phone for something else! Please help!

    I have a S3 and this is driving me crazy.  I have taken the battery out (left out for 2 hours in dark place inside original box, SIM card out, hard reset, soft reset, and anything else I could think of including going back to factory settings.
    My phone will turn off in the middle of something I am doing.  No matter what it is.  I still get signal and am able to talk to people.  But I use my phone for work and it is starting to get annoying when you have to re-start the email you were typing because your phone turned off and a draft was not saved.
    This is my replacement phone that I got back in March/April of this year.  I have an otter box for it and had no problems with the other phone until I dropped it (no otter box).
    Not to mention my battery will say its like at 80% in the middle of taking a picture and then it wont turn on until I have connected to a charger because it wont turn on without it because from the time I wanted to take the picture to when I turn it on, I lost 75% of my battery.
    Or if I get lucky and it will turn on, I have lost half of my battery charge no what percentage it is.
    Please help me fix this as I need a working phone and it is not great having to carry a portable charger with me at all times.

  • HT1725 My app downloads are stuck waiting. There is no 'downloads' tab in iTunes. Very aggravating

    My app downloads are stuck waiting. There is no 'downloads' tab in iTunes. Very aggravating. I sign into iTunes. No download tab. I sign not App Store. No download tab. 2 apps stuck on 'waiting'. Have reset iPad2 - no progress.

    Also, I'm unable  to delete the 2 apps. So they just sit there taking up space.
    I'd like to at least be able to start the downloads or delete the apps. I can't do either.

  • Envelope Printing Aggravation

    Not being able to print a simple envelope is aggravating. Select recipient in your address book, command-p o whatever that button is called. Make sure the options for #10 and the orientation is correct.
    I just found a widget to print envelopes and it also prints them wrong. Back to address book to try some other options.... Address Book crashed.
    This can't possibly be this complicated to adjust.

    I guess I was kinda frustrated
    The sender prints 3 inches from the top and more than an inch from the left while the recipient prints off the envelope somewhere. All the dimensions for the #10 envelope look as they should.
    Just went into pages and uses a template for an envelope. looked great on screen. Printed so that if it was a letter size sheet of paper it would have printed OK but at the bottom of the page. Look at a letter size and imagine "cut here" dashes the size of an envelope.
    Changed the orientation of the template but that messes everything up. I have a samsung ML-1210 laser printer and I don't think it speaks the same language as my iMac. Prints letter size stuff great.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Error Message:  I keep getting this error when I try to download apps or songs :  MZCommerce.CreditBalance Mismatch.Mobile_message   Can someone tell me how to get rid of this?  It is very aggravating when trying to use the IPAD.

    I keep getting this error when I try to download apps or songs :  MZCommerce.CreditBalance Mismatch.Mobile_message   Can someone tell me how to get rid of this?  It is very aggravating when trying to use the IPAD.

    Try to go to Settings and then Store. Tap to your Apple ID and select View Apple ID. Now choose to check your payment information and when you're done tap Done. I had to rewrite my three digit code of the credit card and now it works.
    Oh, I also activated Genius for Apps but I don't think it makes any difference.

  • Does Firefox has this option (which I may not know) to click on my bookmark, link, etc. where to open a new tab without doing this right-click, it is aggravating?

    Hello, I would like to use Firefox as my default browser, but the reason I still use the old Netscape Navigator is that that clicking on my bookmarks Firefox is not opening new tab. Does Firefox has this option (which I may not know) to click on my bookmark, link, etc. where to open a new tab without doing this right-click, it is aggravating?

    Install the addon
    Open Bookmarks in New Tab 0.1.2010043001.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-bookmarks-in-new-tab/
    Restart on installation.

  • Anyone know of a fix after updating the last ios...ipad keeps restarting or won't stay on.  Very aggravating.

    Anyone know of a fix after updating the last ios...ipad keeps restarting or won't stay on.  Very aggravating.

    Have you tried resetting your iPad? I don't have a lot of confidence that it will work for you, but it's an easy thing to try and a good place to start.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't help, you should probably restore the iOS software. You may even need to use recover mode. Both are covered in this in article.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • I can not get my ipad to sync to my network?  Password is right but it still says unable to join...what am i doing wrong!  aggravated...

    I cannot get my ipad to join my home network...why?  I have the right password but it continues to say unable to join network?  Why???   Aggravated!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    I can see how this can be aggravating. Have you ever been able to pair your 5s phone to your Bluetooth? Is there another Bluetooth device near by that might be connecting to your phone instead? Is your Software up to date on your device? Check by going into Settings>General>Software Update. Please provide details so we can assist.

  • Aggravating popup

    I get a popup every time I try to view a video on utube that says: Adobe Flash Player settings
                                                                                                            Local storage    
                                                                             foxsnewsplayer-a.akamaihd.net is requesting permission to store information on your computer.

    It has two choices ...Allow and Deny. I click on deny and it will not go away. I can not make it delete and it blocks the videos. 
    !. Is this from Adobe?
    2. Why can I not delete it. It is extremely aggravating and I want to know how to delete it and never get it again.

    moondog, did you ever resolve this problem, I posted a similar post a few minutes ago, my message is slight;ly different; player.oolyala.com is requesting permission  to store information.

  • HT204389 When texting I keep hitting the microphone button. It's aggravating. Can I move it left of the 123 button? That would be ideal. Or, second choice, can I hide microhphone button without disabling Siri?

    When texting I keep hitting the microphone button. It's aggravating. Can I move it left of the 123 button? That would be ideal. Or, second choice, can I hide microhphone button without disabling Siri?

    the think the answer is No to both your questions.
    I don't see a way to move the microphone, also can't hide it w/o disabling siri.

  • How can I select more than one bookmark at a time so that I can then open multiple bookmarks -- without the aggravation of going back to the list and selecting and opening each one.

    From my dozens of bookmarks, I often would like to open 5 or 6 of them at once -- perhaps a couple of weather reports, a couple of radio stations, a couple of other websites. But I see no way of doing this without laboriously finding a bookmark, selecting it, opening the website, then returning to the bookmarks, finding the second bookmark, selecting it, opening the website, and on and on. Surely there's a way for me to select multiple unrelated bookmarks and open them at the same time. Thanks much for your help. Don

    ''Actually there is a picture and better explanation in the corresponding History article''
    * ''http://kb.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox ''
    Look where this picture is embedded in the article topic [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox#Selecting_history_items Selecting history items]
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/images/Fx3_history_sidebar_selections2.png
    Selecting, viewing, and searching the sidebars and library lists is explained in both articles previously mentioned.
    Multiple selection is something built-in to a lot of applications and into all browsers, and yes you guessed correctly the favicon it the thing to the left of the bookmark and that is what is is called in all browsers. And if you look at selection you will find that it matches what you asked for, especially if you were to do a search from the search bar on the bookmark or history sidebar. But there is also no problem opening up a single bookmark or history item into a new tab, with either Ctrl+click or Ctrl+Shift+click in the area to the right of the favicon either.
    However I would suggest making a change to your configuration options so the the same keyboard shortcut is used from a link and from your bookmarks. See those keyboard shortcuts in the following along with the footnotes just below the table for them in

  • Aggravated: Unable to Erase Authorization, Here's what I've already tried...

    I need to test out Epub files I create before sending them to market, so I downloaded Adobe Digital Editions for Mac from here: Download | Adobe Digital Editions
    I followed installation setup
    I logged in with my existing Adobe ID
    I downloaded a few borrowed Epub books from my local library so I could test an already-working file and be sure the program works sufficiently before trying the file I created.
    I then tried to add the *.acsm file by both File>Add to Library and by double-clicking on the file in Finder.
    I received the following message: "Unable to Download Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E_ACT_NOT_READY
    I went to the help page here: License server communication error: E_ACT_NOT_READY
    I followed the instructions to erase authorization, but received the following message: "Unable to Erase Authorization. Please try after some time."
    I tried this multiple times but always received the same error message.
    I looked here: I'm unable to deauthorize my computer.  Getting an error message "Unable to erase authorization.  Please try again after some time."
    I could not find the activation.dat file, as the furthest I got was "Computer/Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe" ...but there was no folder for Adobe Digital Editions. I replied on the thread.
    Wondering if it would help, I uninstalled and then re-installed Digital Editions
    Same problems are occurring.
    At a loss after searching every forum topic on "unable to erase authorization" and anything remotely associated with it (especially since most posts were unanswered), I called Adobe support since I have a CC license. However, Adobe phone support does not support ADE. I asked them to inform a supervisor that questions on the forum are going unanswered.
    I am now ready to throw the damn computer.
    Please help me. I need this program to work as I am trying to create my own Epub documents and want to test them in a reader app before making the files available to the public.

    Hello,
    You will find "Go" option on top left corner of your mac machine. Click on "Go" and select "Go to folder"
    Then type:  ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions
    Click on "Go"
    drag the activation.dat file to the trash.
    ADE will be deauthorized now.
    Now Authorize ADE again.
    Launch ADE
    Help-> authorize computer.
    Error will be fixed !!
