Any one received Froyo yet ? Still waiting for Froyo, time 11:30 PM EST, Aug 27, 10

Still wating for froyo, can't wait to test flash and 720p Video Recording

well i will say this, my girlfriend has the droid 2 which comes with froyo 2.2 and this morning she got an update on her phone that said 2.2 update. i guess there were some bug fixes in this new update because her phone did lock up sometimes and after this update it is faster and so far it has not locked up on her yet, of course its only been a day. maybe they are just rolling out the bug fixes for the current froyo users first and then plan to get to us after that? i too have the incredible and have not recieved my update either and it is now Aug 28th 1:40 EST

Day 3: 9:00 PM Aug 29, 2010 EST, Still waiting for Froyo on my Droid Incredible, Anyone?

Still no Android 2.2 Froyo after 3 days. How long we have to wait. ?
I am so tempted to run this update on my droid incredible http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Incredible/RUU_Incredible_C_Froyo_VERIZON_WWE_3.21.605.1_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_2k4k_NV_1.50_PRL58006_release_143351_signed.exe

I installed it. The phone is de-activated cuz the call quality was bad. If I find some postive reports about improved call quality, I may activate the phone again - BUT - I'm pretty happy with the call quality of my RAZR2, may just stick with it until it dies.
ETA - I am not suggesting anybody else do it - just stating I did, on an unactivated phone.

Anyone still waiting for xgrade? Or: I still haven't received my discs....

Hi all,
I ordered my XGrade discs on 2/7, and they were shipped on 2/29. I am in Los Angeles. I still haven't received them, and I am getting a little antsy.
THe email describes media mail as '3-7 days' (I am beyond that now) and I don't think it can be tracked....
Is anyone else still waiting for their crossgrade discs to arrive, with a similar ship date as mine ?
Thanks!
dan

Media mail IS totally dependent on the originating post office. Some have managers/supervisors who say: If it comes in today, it goes out today. Others could give a rat's behind, and they let it pile up in a big hamper. When it gets too heavy to deal with, they load it on a truck to go to a sorting station.
don't get me started on the postal service. If junk mailers had to pay full freight on all the cr@p they send, OUR rates would still be about 14 cents for first class.
When did we all stop being citizens and start being consumers? We are subsidizing the junk mailers. My favorite revenge is taking one mailers stuff and putting it in another's prepaid envelope and sending it. If we all did that, maybe SOMEONE would wake up to the whole stupidity of junk mail.
OK-- off soapbox now.

Really poor customer service - still waiting for B...

Just a quick post to see if a moderator could help me…or as a last attempt for BT to at least acknowledge my recent complaint (or apologize).
I’d be interested to hear if other users have had similar problems (to any one of mine as it crosses different forum topics)…
I’d like to think I’m writing as an objective and reasonable customer and a loyal customer at that. Suffice it to say, in this competitive marketplace, I’ve not been impressed with BT in the last 3 months.
My automated email complaints response is 110110-007990 (if that helps).
Given my numerous attempts to make contact with the BT customer services team; I am doubtful that I shall receive the courtesy of a reply. I do not intend to repeat my complaint in detail here but in a nutshell, following the home move team promising various things such as:
1) a waiver of the line installation charge if I continue a full service package (which I gather is £127.99 for flicking a switch at the exchange);
2) a reduction in my billing generally (as I was “out of contract” for around 6 months so I was paying a DD around £65 p.m for line rental, basic phone, Broadband opt 2 and basic BT vision);
3) an expedited home move switchover within days (not weeks).
However, none of this happened and like many recent posts my billing has gone crazy. To cut a long story short BT have renegaded on all the promises made and the switchover service has been, at best, terrible.
1) I was in fact billed for an install plus delivery charges (£8.98) for a superfluous BT home hub and BT vision box (which never turned up).
2) My bills (and DD) have risen to a level which I simply cannot fathom as the BT invoicing system requires a degree in accounting to understand.
3) And after ordering on the 3rd December, I’m still waiting for my broadband activation after the phone line was only activated late last week. (To add insult I was told that an engineer would call (so took a day off to also receive the broadband kit) and allow access if required but it was cancelled and rescheduled twice). Now hoping for the 18th Jan – 37 days after ordering – woohoo.
I’m now seriously thinking of leaving …. There’s no incentive for me to stay now I’ve been charged and that charges have increased beyond the VAT increase. I suppose one customer like me will not make a difference to the BT annual report, but if my experience is typical of how customers are treated; if I were a BT shareholder I would be worried.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Cheers. for the first 6 months it was a locked ip profile, always reset after phoning bangalor and speaking to the "have you reset your router" robots. for a few hours or a day or more, I'd get 2-3mbps then crash, back down to 135kbps. The mods here (after first banning me for reposting what they had mailed me) were quite helpful, I think they were/are frustrated that there is little they can do for genuine line quality problems, the ones that will cost money/time/effort to sort. Actually time and effort didnt seem to be a problem, I had no end of openreach blokes come to the house, sometimes 2 came at once, all with the same stories of woe, trackers in their vans, being sent out on useless jobs they had already reported were down to line faults/quality but being sent out again and again. And not just to me, I had the same guy just a couple of times but all were routinely demoralised with some kind of deep routed hatred for their managers that due to the trackers were now able to see where they were at any time.
bonkers mate, like I care what they think of their manager. at first when i mentioned the problem with using the broadband and phone together, there seemed to be some interest but when the problem was confirmed, the umbrellas came up, broadband said it was the lline, the line people said it was the broadband. line people also said when they test, the bb will be unplugged and if there is no fault, i will have to pay 130-ish quid. thing is the phone works ok without the bb plugged in. i tried everything, new adsl socket, standing on one leg, the lot. then got a capped 500kbps rate for option2. at least then i didnt get back to 135kbps everyday.
i signed a new contract in november, god knows why, Im now buying myself out of it.
there's one born everyday eh?
if bt were really interested in helping they would send out a smart person that would try and figure out why my neighbour gets 3mbps and i get 500kbps at a capped rate and 135kbps at the adaptive rate technology has done its business on my connection. I've had 3 routers sent to me, Ive bought a netgear all were no help. Its the line bt!!!! somewhere there is a fault. yes im far from the exchange, so is the guy next door!

5 months + and still waiting for a phone line

27/05/2013 Placed order for line and broadband. Paid for 1 year service in advance.
This was to reconnect a line I had cancelled in in January as we started a major re-fit/renovation at our house and were out of it for 4 months. Transferred line to a new address at this time (different exchange)
18/06/2013 Engineer scheduled to visit. - Waited in for 6hours, no one turned up, no contact made
19/06/2013 No one got in touch. I telephoned. Problem with line. New appointment made for Monday 15 July 2013
15/07/2013 Engineer did not turn up, no contact made again after waiting in most of day.
16/07/2013 I called and told work on line not completed. They needed to do external work. Given assurance I would get a call on 21/07/2013 as work scheduled to be completed by then. It had been accelerated (had been told this before come to think of it)
21/07/13 No one called, again
22/07/2013 I called and told work still not completed but would be by 25/07/2013 so to call back and arrange an engineer visit appointment
25/07/2013 I called , told work still not completed, would get a call by 29/07/2013 when work will be completed – to arrange another engineer visit. I filed online complaint
29/07/2013 no call. I called, no update, call again in 2 weeks
Numerous calls in August, and 2 online complaints. Now getting texts telling me there is no update and promising to get in touch by a certain date, they don't. New line needed as exchange reached capacity. Old line no good, have to lay a new one. Still being told order will be accelerated. Still waiting for the "advisor in our delays team to monitor the job and contact the engineers for a full investigation to be done so we can provide you with an accurate update."
Still more calls in September along with numerous calls (me) and 2 from BT to say they have no update!
Still being told the biggest load of rubbish as an excuse, eg me "but I had an active line in January" you "ah that is openreaches fault, they come and physically rip out and remove the wiring if a line is cancelled" or: BT- "we cant talk to openreach ourselves, we can only email them" me - "that's funny as your colleague on the last call claimed to have spoken
with them after leaving me on hold for 5 minutes"
October. Called today. ( now have a telephone number with a PIN number) Still no progress. They started digging on September 5th according to one email. I asked were they using a tea spoon, they even replied in email NO!
What am I supposed to do now. I am to get an update "tomorrow", but going by all previous updates it will be we will call again in 10 days - the don't. Time spent waiting for engineers - 2 days, time spent on phone/emails etc - 5+ hours.

10.6.8 Netboot - "Still waiting for root device"

Hi all,
I am having trouble with one particular 10.6.8 Netboot image that is hosted on a Mac Pro running 10.5.8 Server. (The main 10.5.8 Server is currently hosting about 15 other Netboot and Netrestore images that work with no problem.) I built the image on a 10.6.8 Server using System Image Utility from a fully updated 10.6.8 restore image on an external hard drive. The external drive was started up on MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac systems ranging from Late '06 to Early '11 revisions. Software update was run on every startup, but came back fully up-to-date every time and never encountered problems starting up each from the external drive.
I then ran Disk Utility permissions repair on the external drive from the 10.6.8 Server Mac Pro and built the Netboot image in System Image Utility. Although I am fairly new to this process, I have already successfully built several 10.6.8, 10.7.5, 10.8.5, and 10.9 Netrestore images as well as one 10.9 diagnostic Netboot that all work perfectly. I followed the same process when creating the 10.6.8 Netboot image.
The image I created, called 10.6.8 Diags 3.0, shows up in the Netboot list, but when I attempt to boot it shows the Apple logo for a bit before showing the "circle slash" symbol. Verbose mode shows that it hangs when starting and repeats "Still waiting for root device" over and over again and never does anything.
I have rebuilt the 10.6.8 Diags 3.0 Netboot image several times to rule out the possibility of corruption durring image creation. I have also tried to create the image from a Firewire attached external drive as well as building the data on the external drive into a .dmg on the 10.6.8 Server and then creating the image from that. All methods of creating the image yeild the same "Still waiting for root device" error when attempting to start up on any system supporting the 10.6.8 kernel.
Netboot settings in Server Admin are the same as other Netboot images that are functioning: enabled, diskless, Intel (grayed out), and NFS. I have verified that all enabled image index numbers are unique and even tried several different index numbers on the problem Neboot image.
Again, all other Netrestore images I created on the same 10.6.8 Server work just fine when added to the Netboot directory on the 10.5.8 Main Server, but the Netboot image of 10.6.8 Diags 3.0 does not. I'm not sure what else to try at this point, any ideas?

Ooooh. I've been reading similar pages on cidori.org and just assumed it was one of those. Remarkable how my google searches didn't find that one. Thanks for the pointer, and I'll go try it.
Thanks again, Dan.

IBook is not starting up - "still waiting for root device"

The 600 MHz / 640 MB / 20 GB iBook did not want to wake up and after forced shutdown would not start up. grey screen. With MacOS X CD - "prohibition sign", MacOs 9 - no start at all
I had 2 partitions on the HD one with Tiger and other with 9.2.2 - none of them appear in the list of startUp folders. would not go into the Target mode.
I know there are few threads here with similar problem - I went through them but nothing of the suggestions would help.
Did reset the PRAM (only once though) - when I still heard the startUp chime
Did reset PMU
Left the machine unplugged for about 12 hours
Now I managed to get into single user mode while attempting to start up from a Tiger DVD. Here is what I see on the screen:
"using 1638 buffer headers and 1638 cluster IO headers

iBook dual USB Mac OS X (10.4.5)

thanx for replying. Last night I finally managed to start up the machine using a FireWire ext HD as a StartUp Disk. Disk Utility and TechTool Pro and Disk Warrior are not showing the internal HD at all.
Since I was not able to use any start CDs including original MacOs X and 9 Cds maybe it is a problem with Data Cable that connects both HD and optical drive with logic board? It is hard to imagine why it would come to something like that. Overheat? I did not have enough free space on Tiger partition - 1GB. Maybe that. I am starting to look for a replacement HD....

Forbidden Screen - Error: "Still waiting for root device"

Greetings to all! I come to you with my boot troubles as a supplicant, in the hope that someone can help.
I have a PowerBook G4 15-inch, pre-Intel from late 2005. Until today it always worked and rarely hanged. All I've ever needed to do when in trouble was reboot. I've updated the Apple OSX software regularly and have never touched the hardware, except once 18 months ago to add memory. All I do with this machine is use it. It's been weeks since I installed any new software.
There were no warning signs before the problem started today.
FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE: The machine was unusually slow, showing beach balls on every minor move. I powered down conventionally and later turned it on again. After a minute I got the "Forbidden Sign" grey screen, which I had never seen before. So I rebooted, and got that again.
+I turned to the only other available machine (very old PC, unfortunately) to browse for solutions, and have so far tried the following:+
1) BOOT FROM INSTALLATION DISK: Forbidden Screen. After a couple of attempts I removed the disk (by clicking trackpad on power up). At some point, in desperation, I even tried Disc 2.
2) RESET PRAM (Command-Option-P-R on power up) : I got three chimes, then the grey screen. It stayed on the apple and gear for many minutes. At least it never went to the Forbidden Screen.
3) FILE SYSTEM CHECK (Option-S on power up) : After a few steps it shows error messages (see below) and starts repeating, "Still waiting for root device," over and over.
4) RESET NVRAM (Command-Option-O-F on power up) : I got a blue screen with text and was able to input "reset-nvram" (response: OK) and then "boot." Result: Forbidden Screen.
5) SAFE START (Option on power up) : Forget it. Forbidden Screen. Same when I try it with "C" as some sites recommend. Same with or without the Install Disk in the DVD driver.
6) POWER MANAGEMENT UNIT RESET (Shift-Control-Option-Power): Subsequent boot still produces Forbidden Screen.
*THE ERROR MESSAGES*
Here are some of the messages when I start up with Option-S:
CSRHIDTransitionDriver::probe booting in single user .. do not match
Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTCKeyboard" has no kernel dependency.
Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleUSBTCKeyEventDriver" has no kernel dependency.
Apple PMU::CLOCK RESET! PMU WAS PROBABLY RESET SOMEHOW!! +(Yes, I did that, but it wasn't showing this before I did, and it WAS showing all of the following.)+
Security auditing service present
BSM auditing present
disabled
rooting via boot-uuid from /chosen: +(I think the long code that follows is the serial number?)+
Waiting on <dict ID="o"><key>IOProviderClass</key><string ID="1">IOResources</string><key>IOResourceMatch</key><string ID="2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict>
PMUMS::start ERROR: failed to find IOATABlockStorageDriver
Still waiting for root device
Still waiting for root device
Still waiting for root device
+(etc. ad infinitum)+
*So now I'm begging anyone for answers to these questions:*
Am I doomed?
Does anyone know what the problem is?
This seems to be happening prior to disk access, as it happens with or without the Install Disk. So do I still have the hard drive working? Is my data on it?!
Was resetting the Power Management Unit a bad idea?
What can I do next?
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Nicholas from NYC

Thanks for your reply, Louie!
In the meantime I have succeeded in booting via the Install Disc using Option on power up. The Hardware test shows nada wrong. Disk Util repair goes up to "Rebuilding Category B-Tree" and then fails. Frustratingly, the HD is somehow visible, because the diagnostics correctly identify it and give correct values for empty space. Right now I'm running the Erase Free Space option and it's working - how is that possible? I've gotten into Single User mode and tried various FSCK commands. Sometimes it comes back with the superblock error and "Bad Magic Number" which I believe indicates a corrupted block within the boot sector. I can't figure out how to reassign without reformatting and losing the data. This will cost me a few weeks of data, but really not that much work - still set me back by days.
Next step will be to start taking it apart, as you suggest, starting with the easy matter of trying with just one DIMM or switching the DIMMs.
Thanks again, and if anyone knows how to help - how does one reassign a superblock from the Single User mode?

Still waiting for up to date to be shipped?

I was curious to whether or not any other people are still waiting for their Mac OS X Leopard "up to date" cd to be shipped. I ordered mine on the 23rd and it still hasn't even been prepared for shipment at this time. I have spoken to a customer service manager but the issue with my order escaped her. She was going to be contacting her supervisor to see if they could see what was going on. She said I should expect a call back tomorrow.
I am being patient about the wait as i figure supply is exceeding demand, but I know of two people who purchased the "up to date" upgrade in the days after mine, and their cd's have already shipped.
Has your "up to date" shipped or are you still waiting. When did you order the CD?

I have ordered mine on 16th Oct..on the website it says shipped on 25th but its not here yet..:(
I called Apple thrice. The tracking number they provided is no good as they have shipped it using regular mail. Once they said it is going to take 5 days to be here in canada. Then a crazy sales rep gave me few instructions how to install leopard instead of actually finding out what happened to my shipment. The third time they said there has been "some problems with some of the DVDs" so they cancelled the initial shipment and are waiting for the new disks to become available for shipment....whatever that means. He said he will get back to me via email in 1 hour....it has been 2 days already ! They have charged my credit card and the tracking site shows an invoice with all the number and stuff...Strange behavior from Apple...

Customer service promised me call back in 24 hrs but it has been 72 hrs and I m still waiting for the call,,,,,

Apple sent me replacement phones and both with different coverage on them. Repair coverage finishing lot earlier then what I had on the original defective phones. Now they are telling me that he phones they received were different then the ones in Repair Case. After 150 minutes long phone call the rep said me that somebody will call me within 24 hrs and I m still waiting for the call after 3 days. the conversation was polite and helpful all the way from both sides but now I feel like Apple reps are trying to avoid this problem because this is their problem that most likely they misplaced my phones in their wharehouse and after my call (one week after the phones received by apple) they started looking for it.
I had the repair status updated in my profile after I received the new wrong phones. Even the acknowledgement email from apple mentioning that they have sent out the replacement product came to my inbox two days after I received the phones.
Is this Mr.Jobs Apple ?
Does anyone has Customer service email address ?

I know there is a contact us tab on the web page and thats what I have mentioned here that what happened when I called them.
thanks for ur input though,

Single User Mode: Still waiting for root device

iMac G4.
I reset the NVRAM, PRAM. It won't attempt to boot from anything but a OS 10.4 cd; booting from OS 9 cd just leaves me at the flashing question mark icon.
If I try to boot from OS X cd, it comes back with the prohibitory sign.
If I try to boot into single user mode, it gives me a bunch of "...."has no kernal dependency lines, then a 'still waiting for root device' line, and repeats that.
Something to the effect before the 'still waiting for root device' is "Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOProvider-Class</key><string ID="1">IOResouces</string><key>IOResouceMatch></key><string ID="2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict>"
Any help please?

Nevermind...I found out that the hard drive was bad...still puzzles me why it wouldn't boot from CD though, as I thought they all should even if no drive is present.

HT1577 how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a 5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:1

how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a >5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:10pm. Not good enough.

Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

Still waiting for a response from Adobe regarding the post "Printing a pdf from a marked-up pdf".

Still waiting for a response from Adobe regarding the post "Printing a pdf from a marked-up pdf" dated 15 Dec 2012 9:20 AM.

Look everyone that comes here with a support problems has gone through all the normal channels, around and round in circles with no one seeming to be interested. They've called every phone number, every email address they can find. They have been put on hold and bounced fifty times to another operator only to be hung up on. If Adobe would bring back support to main land and have people that know what's going on instead of having people that people can barely understand read from scripts. Scripted information only applies about 10 % of the time. I'm just giving people an alternative. after they have torn their hair out going the normal route. If they had been able to get a solution they wouldn't be coming here for help.
There should be a forum set up just for people to air these issues and Adobe employees forced to man it. Then we wouldn't have to have such a Bad attitude. Right now Adobe's Support reputation is worse than Intuit's which did have the absolutely worse on the Planet. Now they are number 2.
You know it yourself that Adobe's support is absolutely worse than terible. However to prevent me from being banned from the forums I will simply will provide the adobecare email address from now on
So let's sweep it under the rug.

How to fix "More than one receiving system has been specified for the BAPI"

Due to patching the HR system I am testing the functionalities in our test environment before patching the production system. When doing a hiring action (in our test environment) I get this error message at infotype 0000 when I try to save:
"More than one receiving system has been specified for the BAPI (AcctngServices, CheckAccountAssignment)"
It is message no. B1811
My first suggestion weas that it could be the presence of dual connections in SALE, but disabling one of them didn't help.
Since the Basis team is currently patching the HR system I wonder if that has any affect that might end out in the above error.
Anyone who can help me out here? Please?

Usually, when you have HR and FI on separate boxes, certain FI information (e.g. cost center) do not physically locate on HR box. Instead of replicating these data into HR for integrity check, you have an option (for a few countries) of remotely connecting from HR box to FI to do these checking though BAPI. I think this is the scenario you have (i.e. when doing the hiring, a new ee will be assigned to a personnel area which in turn default a cost center which SAP would need to check for integrity).
Please go into distribution model, and check if for some reason, this is set up to go to to more than 1 destination for HR accounting integrity check.
Rgds.

Still waiting for root device

I had an XServ serve that we could not get Profile Manager running after the 2.2 update in Dec 2012. Re tried rolling back various folder since we have time machine running and backing up to an external Apple RAID. Eventually I gave up anddecided it was time to restore the whole server from Time Machine. I booted the XServ up with a 10.8 DVD and Chose "Restore Server from Backup". I then chose one of the full backups it listed. It restored the Time Machine backup. However, when it boots. I get the Apple logo and then a circle with a slash and a pinwheel. Booting in Single User mode I find it is constantly waiting at " Still waiting for root device" and goes no further.
The internal hard drives in the XServe are a RAID as well as having the external Apple rack mounted RAID connected via a card in the XServe.

See if you can start up in Safe Mode. This will take awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
If this works you will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, try to restart normally, and go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, and repair permissions on it.
If you can't start up in Safe Mode, maybe something in this Apple Knowledge Base article will help:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106805
Or it may be time to invest in a disk utility such as DiskWarrior.

Any one received Froyo yet ? Still waiting for Froyo, time 11:30 PM EST, Aug 27, 10
