Bit of a sneaky question, installing normal firmwa...
Now this is a bit strange, when I got my N95 from phones 4 u (never again) it was from t-mobile but it just worked as normal when I placed in my Orange sim. Anyway, the firmware now has certain features disabled such as voip which the network have intentionally done and it also has t-mobiles own features such as "web 'n' walk". Is there anyway to re-install the firmware which has not been touched by any network? as though I bought it direct from Nokia.
I don't know if theres any rules against that sort of stuff so I apologise if there is.

Bottom line... it can be done but Nokia don't like it at all so any discussion of 'how to' is banned on these official Nokia forums.
Not illegal but your warranty will definitely evaporate if you go the debrand route.

Windows 7 upgrade: discs will include the option for a 32 to 64-bit upgrade via a clean install?
I would like to know whether the Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade discs will include the option for a 32 to 64-bit upgrade via a clean install? I called Mentor today and was told the answer is no, but I was hoping someone here could tell me differently.
If "no" is truly the answer, I would like to voice my complaint: The upgrade discs from Microsoft (i.e. the retail upgrade discs) include both the 32 and 64-bit versions, so I don't completely understand why Lenovo's upgrade program doesn't offer the same thing. I purchased my T500 in August, and back then Vista Ultimate 64 was not offered, so I chose Vista Ultimate 32 thinking that I could later upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 64. This assumption was based off of the info. on Microsoft's website indicating that all upgrades would contain the 32 and 64-bit versions. I even customized my computer with 4 gigs of RAM thinking that I could take advantage of the extra gig once I installed Windows 7 64.
I don't understand what Lenovo or Mentor Media have to gain by restricting a 32 to 64-bit install. I voiced this opinion to Mentor Media over the phone, who responded by saying that I should be happy since I am receiving a "free" upgrade. I don't think this is an accurate assessment for two reasons: (1) I had to pay $17.03 for shipping, and I still haven't received the upgrade and (2) The total cost of my computer was almost $3,000, and the purchase was made a mere few weeks before Windows 7 was released. $3,000 is a lot of money. I waited for the details of the Windows 7 Upgrade Program to be announced BEFORE purchasing my machine. When I finally bought my computer I accounted Windows 7 into the price I was paying. In addition, when I bought this computer I did so expecting good customer service as a given. Not providing a 64-bit upgrade without a rational explanation as to why does not qualify as appropriate customer service.
As most of you know, 4 gigs of RAM is useless with a 32-bit OS. Also, NOW Lenovo is building new T500s with the option of having Windows 7 Ultimate 64 (why wasn't Vista Ultimate 64 offered when I bought my computer???). And the price for choosing Windows 7 Ultimate 32 is EQUAL to the price for choosing Windows 7 Ultimate 64, which proves that there is no cost difference. I just want to know what Lenovo has to gain by denying customers a 64-bit upgrade? There would really be no additional cost since as I mentioned before, Microsoft's retail upgrade includes the 32 and 64-bit OS on one disc. If anything I would think that it's costing Lenovo money to strip the 64-bit install from the upgrade discs.
Can anyone please address my problems? Do you think there is anyone at Lenovo I could contact to voice my opinions? I have been a loyal Thinkpad customer for over 5 years now, and I expect better from Lenovo. Thank you for reading!

Is there any way to request a 64-bit OEM? Why should Lenovo care whether I want a 32-bit or 64-bit as long as it's the same edition (Ultimate edition)?
if your system shipped with a 32-bit version of vista then you will be sent 32-bit windows 7 upgrade media. the reason for this is two-fold.
first, because this is upgrade media, it's impossible to install a 64-bit version of windows over a 32-bit version. doing so would require a clean installation and upgrade media simply won't allow this. this is the case with retail media, too. if you had 32-bit vista installed and wanted to upgrade it to 64-bit using retail media, you'd have to wipe your system or set up a dual-boot.
second, the COA (certificate of authenticity) on the bottom of your system is for vista. because of this, your new license is of an upgrade from vista to 7. this is how microsoft licenses it and it is their policy, not lenovo's. microsoft's policy with OEMs is that you must install vista first, then upgrade to 7 (unless, of course, you purchased your system native with 7 on or after the 22nd). since your original lenovo preload is of a 32-bit OS, the issue becomes circular and you'll have to refer again to the first reason.
i understand your frustration and wish this stuff were made easier for everyone. it's repetative reading post after post of people with 4GB installed who don't understand the limitations of a 32-bit environment. i wish both manufacturers and users switched to 64-bit OSes sooner. the same thing happened when the industry went from 16-bit windows 3.11 to 32-bit windows NT4/95 and limitations went from 16KB all the way up to 4GB (which, in 1995, no one thought we'd ever exceed). the difference is that people were complaining on BBSes over 14.4k modems instead of on GUI-based forums using broadband connections. times sure have changed.

Bit of a strange question regarding security and internet connection
This is a bit of an odd question so bear with me for a moment.
I sold my old G4 to someone I didn't know yesterday. While he was looking at it to make sure it was working I allowed him to plug my ethernet cable in (connected to both a netgear router and a cable modem) and go online to install an application on the computer he was buying. It did't take long and I didn't actually see what he installed but after he left and I plugged back in to my mac pro, my internet connection started suffering. It started by being very slow and then timing out with servers. I reset the modem and even bypassed the router but the connection did not improve and eventually I could only get a self assigned IP address with no internet, although the modem appeared to be fine.
Aside from finding my I.P. address at my location, is there anything else he could have compomised security wise, either in the name of harvesting some kind of info or just creating a problem in the cable network when I let him use my connection on the g4?
I think that most likely I'm being a little paranoid but the timing of this is a bit strange. It literally went down hill just after he left.
Today the cable company is reporting a wider internet outage than just me but I just though I'd throw it out there to see if there are any security wholes exploitable when someone uses your internet connection (I would think and hope that there are not).
thanks a bunchWell, in the closing the stable door approach it is a good idea to do a complete erase and install when selling any computer. There's lots of references to this and even one about removing a certain file so when they start up they get the brand new Mac greeting window. If you do not erase the drive using the secure erase feature in Disk Utility then with an $80 investment plus an empty spare drive the purchaser can likely recover any files you had on the computer recently if they consider it worth the effort.
I suspect the internet issue is not related to this, especially since your ISP commented about problems. -
Question: installing synchronization tool in environment
hi!
I have two questions and hope someone can help me make it a bit clearer.
I have installed:
2x DS 5.2 (solaris 8, same machine, one consumer one master)
2x AD (same domain!) 2003
The synchronization tool sp1 installed.
Sync create goes DS to AD.
Almost everything works, only the consumer DS doesn't get the password changes made on the AD side. Does anybody know what could be the problem?!
Second: maybe someone can tell me what i should install where:
So both DS need a plugin and only one connector and do they both need a prepds run?
Both AD needs only one connector (because same domain) is it possible to switch when the first one goes down?
About the certificates. There i found a view what to install where in the documentation, but not about the above.
Hope someone can help!
Thanks in advance.
Miranda HeesbeenSo, I think the correct option should be Exchange(Default). Please correct me if I am wrong.
You would have to ask your Exchange admin how it is configured. Wally already provided the link which explains it: "If the mobile device synchronizes with Exchange Server, set the Exchange flag
AllowExternalDeviceManagement to ensure that the mobile device continues to receive email from Exchange after it is enrolled by Configuration Manager. If you install the Configuration Manager Exchange Server connector, you
can set this flag by configuring the option External mobile device management in the Exchange Server connector properties" So it has to be set to "allowed" somehow (either by specifying it in the connector's
properties or using the Exchange settings).

I have 32 bit itunes on a 64 bit Windows. Can't install 64 bit itunes because the 32 bit willl not uninstall.
Excellent news.
That one can sometimes hit people if they've used the PC Mover utility to transfer a 32-bit iTunes program onto a 64-bit system. Similar issues can arise if a 32-bit Bonjour or 32-bit AMDS get transfered across to a 64-bit system by PC Mover, so it might pay to keep a weather eye out for that (if you've used PC Mover). -
I have Windows 7 on my computer. I keep getting messages when I want to do various things on my computer which say that I only have a 32-bit version of ???? and I need to update to a 64-bit version of ??? I am not computer savvy and do not understand 32-bit version of what they are talking about; nor, do I know how to update to the 64-bit version. Are they referring to my web browser, or what? And, how do I update to the 64-bit version. Do I have to buy different software, or what? Someone, please help me with this. It happened again today when I wanted to update my Java plug-in. Said I was using 32-bit, so would have to install both 32 and 64-bit version. I am confused.
Firefox is currently only as a 32 bit application available.<br />
A 64 bit Firefox version requires all plugins to be 64 bit as well and not many plugins have a 64 bit version.
You shouldn't have any problem with running that 32 bit Firefox version on a 64 bit Windows platform. -

Pagemaker is ancient, obsolete and unsupported. It was discontinued over 10 years ago. (Though why it is still sold is a mystery.)
If you want to run PageMaker, your best bet is to use a Win2K or WinXP PC.
Otherwise move to Indesign or look at Serif's PagePlus or Scribus. -

64 Bit Installer says it's made for 32 bit and tells me to install 64 bit
I used PC Mover to clone my previous XP laptop so the version of iTunes wasn't really made for the 64-bit OS of my new laptop and hasn't worked since. I try every couple of months to fix the problem before giving up out of pure exhaustion! I download the new 10.1 for 64 bit operating systems and during install it tells me that this installer is for 32 bit systems and I need to install the 64 bit installer!!! Nothing works!!! Does anyone have a clue how to make iTunes work again or where I can get a 64 bit installer that my computer will recognize as a 64 bit installer???
I download the new 10.1 for 64 bit operating systems and during install it tells me that this installer is for 32 bit systems and I need to install the 64 bit installer!!!
Yeah, it's actually the 32-bit version that PC Mover has wedged into the new 64-bit PC that is returning that 32-bit message. (When you try to install the later version, the installer tries to remove the previous version which suddenly realises it is on a 64-bit system, and everything turns to custard.)
In the best of all possible worlds, I'd prefer to remove the 32-bit iTunes by undoing the migrstion (using the PC Mover undo function). Unfortunately, my understanding is that you can only completely undo the entire migration.
If you aren't keen on that, there's an alternate strategy described in the following post:

You may not need to search for a copy of Windows Installer CleanUp. In his/her reply to that post cmcmd reports:
Fantastic! I contacted PC Mover and they sent me a link to the Microsoft Clean Up utility. I deleted all of the Apple files, installed teh 64 bit iTunes and all appears to be working.
So you could perhaps try your luck with PC Mover too. Fingers crossed the support person you get through to will also have the link to the CleanUp download. -
Camera Raw 5.4 (64 bit) 5.4:Failed to install
Hi
I am runnig CS4 in VISTA 64 bit Windows. Today I ran the update menu item in PS to install ACR 5.4.
The installation failed and with the message "Photoshop Camera Raw 5.4,Photoshop Camera Raw (64 bit) 5.4:Failed to install."
I have been having trouble with updates since I installed CS4 some time ago so I reinstalled CS4 and tried again.
The version update worked (11.0.1) but several other components including ACR 5.4 failed again.
I downloaded the ACR 5.4 update zip file, extracted and ran setup. That failed too.
I turned off ZoneAlarm and tried again but it failed again.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks
RobSome people have had success in your situation by finding the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in* inside the zip download and dragging it into the correct folder – AFTER DELETING OR TOTALLY REMOVING THE OLD ONE.

ITunes 7.7 64-bit installer crashes, won't install
I downloaded the 64-bit installer and tried to install over my 7.6 install. Part way through the installer (on the Quicktime bit I think) it crashes. I tried multiple times.
So I completely uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime and tried again. Now the iTunes installer crashes immediately rather than part way through the install (it's right after the pick install location / desktop icons screen).
Any ideas? I'm left with no iTunes whatsoever now which isn't very helpful when I need to sync my iPod.Hey Viper007Bond,
Try completely removing iTunes and QuickTime as described here:

Then download and reinstall the latest version of iTunes.

How to define 64 or 32 bit version of Photoshop is installed on computer?
Hi,
Is there way to determinate (from registry for example) 64 or 32 bit version of Photoshop is installed on computer?
Both versions (32 and 64 bit) have identical records in registry.
DmitryIf you are a 64 bit app you can see both the 32 and 64 bit parts of the registry. See the WOW64 section for the 32 bit entries. If you are a 32 bit process you should only see the 32 bit side of the registry.
The interesting keys would be here
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\12.0\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe\Photoshop\12.0\
If you can find the second key then you are a 64 bit machine and the wow6432 is where the 32 bit version is and the other key is where the 64 bit version is. If you only find the first key you are 32 bit version and that is where the 32 bit version is. This is in theory as what happens if a user only installs the 64 bit version.
What I do is...
If I want to launch 32 I run cscript out of windows\syswow64. The 32 bit version of cscript.
If I want to launch 64 I run cscript out of windows\system32. The 64 bit version of cscript.
Which is pretty funny given the names of the folders!
The type of user running the program of course plays into this as well. I am an Administrator and have that pesky 'are you sure you want to do something' dialog boxes OFF.
I also think you can look at some environment variables to see if you are 32 running on a 64 bit os. But I have not played with those much. Here are some interesting ones from my machine.
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64
ProgramFiles=H:\Program Files
ProgramFiles(x86)=H:\Program Files (x86)
ProgramW6432=H:\Program Files -
