An APP that points to the tower you are currently using
1/5/2012
All,
Here is a really nifty or shall I say really cool or maybe helpful APP. See attached screen shot.
We were in Catalina State park in Tucson, AZ in our Motorhome and another motorhomer told me about this Android APP. It is called OpenSignalMaps.
This APP will bring up a map of where you are and then show your location on the map. Then it will "take its time" finding the cell tower to which you are currently connected and draw a red colored line between your location and the tower.
All the local streets are shown on the map. It seems to work best if all 3 of your GPS's are ON but it also did work well when I turned OFF the Verizon GPS leaving only the other two ON.
With the rather weak Verizon 3G only signal at Catalina State park it took about 5-9 minutes to find everything and draw the red line.
OTOH, when I drove through Tucson with it's stronger Verizon 3G/4G signal it found the first tower in about 2 minutes and as we were driving I watched it change to a different tower three times. The red lind just jumps in a new direction...cool. You can move the map around to see both ends of the red line it you uncheck "Turn OFF auto cenetring" because if you don't it will keep centering on your location.
Be patient it is a bit slow but you won't use it that often; although, it might be nice to confirm which tower you use at your home, business location, or ???.
When I arrived home I just started it, set the phone down, went to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee, and about 5 or so minutes later it had found the tower.
It also shows the RSSI (name of the tower).
It's free so if it's to slow for you just uninstall it.

If your location on the map is off press the MENU button (lower left corner of your phone). Then when the next screen appears Touch "my location" and it will move the your blue colored location ICON to your current location.
Also, you can touch the tower ICON to see the tower's SSID, SID, and Received signal strength. WIKI has good definitions for these acronyms. If you go to CELLS (top of screen) you can also see the RSSI and the overview shows the signal strength in %.

Is there an app that can read the adresse in calender and use it in a gps app so you dont have to right it 2 times.
If it is a complete address, and is formated properly, it should appear as a link. Tap on it and it will open the Maps App.

I am unable to connect to the interent. At the top of the screen my computer says that I am connected. When I open up Safari there is a pop up that say "Community Toolbar We're sorry, but the Safari browser version you are currently using does not support the community toolbar" and when the Safari page opens up it says "You are not connected to the Internet. Safari can't open the page .... because your computer isn't connected to the Internet." I have tried Network Diagnostics and tried to reset Sfari, empty Cache as well as deleted all of my interent history. I am unable to use Time Machine because I never set it up. If someone knows how to help I would very much appreciate it!!
Some instructions for removing Community Toolbar are available in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15868085#15868085

I'm getting messages on Apple TV that netflix and the itunes store are currently unavailable. This can't be a coincidence. Also, the iTunes store is working fine on my Mac, the message is only on the apple TV. Does anyone come across this frequently?
1. An explanation for what? There is indeed a support number (which you can find on this page in "Contact Us" and you are limited to one support call in the first 90 days and if you have the AppleCare you have more than that available, so I'm not sure what you are whinning about (and it is whinning, trust me).
2. http://www.kelleytown.com/ikelleytown.htm#firewire
However, since I wrote that I've also found this link pretty well explaining why firewire is the only way to go as well (it's about video but the same principles apply to the iPod:
http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/index.php/id;1847886895
3. Your computer is constantly changing whether you know it or not. Do you not apply any MS upgrades (or have them automatically applied for you?) Do you not have any antivirus on your machine (which applies its own upgrades)? Do you not, ever, ever, ever, open any email message, or download that cute little movie your friend sent you, or plug in any other device (like a digital camera or flashcard reader) or any of the other hundreds of things that change the computer environment.
It would be tempting to conclude a priori that the update you applied is now the problem, but if so, how do you explain the millions of others who apply the update without issues? The difference is in the software and settings on the witches brew that is a PC. So in a sense you are right in that the old firmware worked with the mess that is your computer and now the new one doesn't -- but it ain't up to Apple to fix your computer, and impossible for them to control the environment (oh, I guess unless you buy a Mac -- "coincidentally" Mac's use firewire for the iPod :>)
I dunno -- when 90% of all issues (100% of all connection issues) can be solved with the Adaptec 4300 I tend to have a lot less patience with folks. If you want to use the mess that is USB then you'll just have to deal with the fact that MS screwed it up big time and become more knowledgable on how to handle the problems. -
When I log in I get this message I keep getting the following error message---"We're sorry but the Safari browser version you are currently using does not support the community toolbar."
Also, I can seem to down load my Adobe Flash, I did download what I thought was the correct down load for Safari, but I'm still getting this message "We're sorry but the Safari browser version you are currently using does not support the community toolbar." I was even going to purchase the Leopard for 29.99 to see would this solve my problem but I want to purchase another pc and sale this one, can you help me?
Thank youSee this link.
Also look at More Like This on the right side of these pages for realted threads on this topic (and on the pages those link to). -

One or more ports used by the Compute Emulator are currently used by other processes
Environment:
VS 2012 Professional
Azure SDK October 2012
Windows 8
I lost the last few days of my life struggling with a weird issue in the emulator. I just ran out of options and I would really appreciate if someone could help me figure out what's wrong.
I am trying to debug a service package from Visual Studio 2012. It's really just about any package -- even the ones generated from a Windows Azure Cloud Service VS template. Any. The VS debugger starts, and in parallel there's "Starting the Windows Azure Debugging
Environment" dialog which shows "Deploying service package to the Windows Azure compute emulator..." message.
The progress bar shown in the dialog gets stuck for a long time (possibly even for an hour or longer!) at some 60% and then the following error message is shown:
"One or more ports used by the Compute Emulator are currently used by other processes. To resolve this, please see MSDN documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh472164.aspx"
There doesn't seem to be anything else listening on the ports mentioned on the above MSDN page. I did nevertheless try to re-map devfabric and agent ports by specifying different values in the .config files mentioned on the page, but that did not help.
What I also tried and did not help:
- reinstalled SDK, IIS Express, Local DB
- reinstalled VS 2012 (yes, I got that desperate)
- tried using IIS instead
- used SysInternals TcpView to check if there are any conflicts
- rebooted the machine: the deployment works initially (*once*), and the subsequent deployments fail (!)
- tried to kill all Azure-related processes in memory and restart debugging
- tried looking into log files under the user directory (dftmp\...); no errors in *any* log
- tried looking into Event Viewer logs (Azure-related and in general); no errors either
Since the conflict seems to be related to my current network settings, below is my IP
configuration. I am behind a router and I have DHCP activated, but again that should not matter since none of that has changed in the last few years (and the emulator did work until few days ago).

▲Hi,
Unfortunately I already tried all kinds of re-installs (the full list is in my original message). The only one remaining is the reinstall of Windows 8 itself, which I would really like to avoid.
What I find really strange is the time it takes for the above error message to appear. It's like one hour or even more (never measured exactly, I left the computer running).
What kind of a timeout is that? I would expect that, if ports are really used by some other application, I get the message in less than a minute (seconds, actually). To me this looks like the emulator itself for some reason believes there's a problem with
some port while in reality there isn't.
I'll eventually contact Microsoft Support, thanks for the suggestion.

Everytime I open my imac I get an error message that says: "We're sorry but the Safari browser version your are currently using does not support the community toolbar." I can't see where it affects anything else, but getting an error message on an imac, just doesn't seem right, ya know? How can I get rid of the message.
Apparently an add-on named Community Toolbar was installed at one time, and is causing the problem. To get rid of it, quit Safari, then throw away these files -
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Macintosh HD/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle

Note - if you are using Lion, the Library folder in your home folder (user name folder) is hidden. To get into it, in Finder open the Go menu; with that menu open, press and hold the Option key. An item "Library" will be added to the list, and can then be selected. That will open the Library folder in your home folder. -
Keep getting a pop up saying the Safari browser version we are currently using doesn't support the community tool bar whenever we try to get on a site supported by Safari.

I have managed to create a dictionary which contains a list of common chemical names and terms. But to use it you have to select the dictionary as a replacement for your normal language. As the chemical names are used in sentances constructed in a users normal language this is not ideal. Is there a way to install the new dictionary to work in an additive way to your existing dictionary?

First of all, if you want to run video inside a .pdf on an iPad, you should be aware that the Adobe Tablet and Mobile reader does NOT support rich media ( audio or video ). Despite trying to encourage Adobe to 'get real', it seems that they have no intention to do so in the short term. SO ... I have been working with a company called Readdle, and beta testing their 'PDF Expert' application, and it is probably the most sophisticated .pdf reader for iOS on the market.
It supports rich media, and certain levels of JavaScript that are particularly useful for this kind of work.
However, if all you want to do is insert video into a single .pdf document, that will run on iOS ( with 'PDF Expert only' ) as well as desktop Mac or PC, the video needs to be h264 .mp4 format ( basically avoid ANY based Flash content for iOS ).
You should also note, that active Buttons ( not hyperlinks, which are different ) which you might wish to create in say InDesign or even Acrobat, need to be made up of just imagery (and that also means converting your text to outlines ). However, this is only necessary for iOS with PDF Expert. Also be aware that I have not done much work which includes .pdf on Android.
I do think though that if you stick with basic navigation, avoid active 'Layers' authoring and only want to run simple video, the h264 .mp4 encoding is going to work across ALL platforms.
If you want to have a look 'under the hood' of an example, please DOWNLOAD and save this item

"Safari browser version you are currently using does not support the community toolbar."
I'm looking for a solution to this error message that pops up every time I restart the comp. I looked in Toolbar folder and it doesn't contain anything. Someone said to go to Library and go through a process but I don't know where it is. Can someone get me started and I'll try those steps. Or does someone have another solution to get rid of this error message?
That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
Library/Application support/conduit plugins
Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery. -
The Safari browser version you are currently using does not support the community toolbar.
the Safari browser version i am currently using does not support the community toolbar. And Iam using googel chrome now but not happy about this problem .
I would like to fixe it .
Many thanksnever mind.. I got rid of it already!
