Blackberry Maps on Storm (Verizon) - How can I recenter the map during GPS tracking?

Greets folks!
I'm hoping someone has an answer, or can point me to documentation.
I've recently moved to a new city and have found the Maps app to be very helpful. However there's one nagging question that's driving me crazy; how can I recenter the map on my GPS position after moving the map?
I'll be using GPS navigation, and either accidentally or deliberately scroll the map. The GPS navigation icon still shows navigation is still taking place, and if I scroll the map manually back to my position it still shows the location icon. However the map no longer moves with the location icon.
Any way to set the map to center on the location icon again? The only option I've found so far is to stop and restart GPS navigation which takes time, etc.

Hello Falconeer and welcome to the forums!
When using the Maps application you should be able to snap back to your location so long as you have "GPS Navigation" set to started and your position is currently being tracked. If you pan off the course and lose sight of your position you should be able to press the "Escape" key immediately to the left of the "End Call" button while viewing the map. Just make sure that you only press it once or you may find yourself looking at the directions list again.
hope this helps

How can I change the pitch of a track?

In Garageband 10.03, how can I change the pitch of a track?
It seems that I somehow mistakenly changed the pitch of a guitar track I had recorded, so that al the notes in the track sound like they're about an octave too high.
I don't know how I did that, and how to make the pitch slider appear so that I can try to lower the pitch.
I saw three Youtube videos that show how to change a track's pitch by using the pitch slider, but none of them explain how to make the pitch slider appear.
The pitch slider is supposed to appear in the lower, left corner of my window, but it doesn't appear in my window. Instead the lower, left corner of my window says things like, Region, Notes, Time Quantize, Strength and Transpose.

There's much to learn in Garageband!
If you want a comprehensive introduction to the new GarageBand, have a look at Edgar Rothermich's book:
Edgar's "GarageBand 10.0 How it Works" explains it very well with many screenshots. You can buy it as iBook from the Book store, as PDF, or as printed book from Amazon, Only, this version of the manual has been written for GarageBand 10.0.1, Some features have changed slightly since then.

How can you control the order of video tracks?

I have an iDVD project with an intro movie (movie played when the disc is first inserted), 5 20 minutes videos (each of which is an individual iMovie project with chapter markers, but the videos are meant to be watched in order 1, 2, 3, 4, then 5), and an addition 5 minute video. When I created the disk image, I noticed it started encoding the last of the 20 minute videos and then seemed to encode the rest of the videos in random order.
I burned the disk image to DVD and started watching it in my DVD player. When you watch the first 20 minute video, when it finishes you return to the menu so you can choose the second 20 minute video. But, if you scene skip through a 20 minute video on the last scene, it takes you to the next track. The problem is the tracks are all in random order. So instead of scene skipping to the next 20 minute video, it takes me to the intro video, then to 20 minute video, ect. It's all out of order.
My question is does anyone know how to control track order? Is the track order the order in which the videos are encoded? (It seems to that is the case.) I tried inserting the videos into the iDVD project in the order I wanted them, but I don't know if that will work or not. The assets all appear in random order in the Project Info window.

I would like to know also. I have made many DVDs, but the number order does seem to be random. For presentation purposes I want to play a specific clip by hitting it's corresponding number on the DVD player remote when the DVD is at a complete stop (so if I put the movie clip in the 2 spot and hit the number 2 on the remote, then the 2 movie clip will play). I can get this to work from the menu by dropping them in iDVD in the order I want and waiting for each to encode before dropping the next, but at a complete stop I cannot ensure number 2 on the remote will play number 2 on the DVD. To me it looks like iDVD gives those numbers in the order in which the audio is encoded when burning, with the shorter clips first and longer ones last.
Can anyone help me?

How can i change the tempo of a track without changing pitch?

I did this before but for the life of me can't figure out how i did it. Usually when I change the tempo (BPM), the recorded tracks sound warbly. But on some of my projects, this doesn't happen even though they're "real" sound recordings.
Both projects are using Groove Fix and under "Pitch" I have "Follow tempo and pitch" checked off. Why is one project
changing tempo seamlessly while the other project is warbling along? Automatic tuning is not the issue because neither project is enabled for that.
Thanks,
Steve

The reason some files sound funny and others don't is because audio is handled a few different in Garageband depending on it's source (audio your recorded vs Apple Loops vs non Apple Loop pre recorded audio). Each of these have different color regions with different properties. I just found this thread that might better explain it:

I hope that helps!

How can i find my errors during project validation before burning my project

How Can I find the errors during the project validation before burning the project??

Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How can I add the Blackberry my friend gave me to my account that already has my prepaid phone on it?

How can I add the Blackberry my friend gave me to my account that already has my prepaid phone on it?

A few questions to clarify your specific situation will help us to better help you...
Do you want to swap phones and use the BlackBerry instead of your current phone? I don't think you can add a line to a pre-paid account to use both - it would have to be two separate accounts.
What model BB is it? And is it Verizon branded? It may or may not be usable on a pre-paid account.
Finally, what is your current phone and account set up? You may need to get a different pre-paid plan to use the BB, if it is usable on Verizon.

How can I cancel the Verizon navigator service?

A trial of verizon's navigator service was included on my phone and I have tested it and I don't find it to be any better than the free google maps. How can I cancel the trial so that I am not billed?
Thanks,
Jason

Never mind! I found the option to remove it under manage features, I just didn't see it before.
Thanks,

How can I limit the fonts in the Character Map (charmap) and reinitialize the state after use?

In a WPF application I have a RichTextBox in which users will be inserting text. I also must give the user the ability to insert characters. To do so I have called up charmap.exe using
Process charProcess = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
charProcess.StartInfo.FileName = strCharmap;
charProcess.Start();
etc., and it works fine. There are several problems I have basically with charmap, however, not with WPF. The first is that because of the subsequent use of the user’s insertion in the RTB, I must restrict the font to “Ariel Unicode
MS.” So far all I have been able to do is instruct and warn the user not to change fonts and
change back any font change that occurs as a result of use of “Advanced view” features.
Question number one is, how can I restrict the fonts loaded into charmap to this one font? The second problem is that if another font is called up, or the “Advanced view” state of charmap is closed, or a “Group by” feature is opened, these choices will
be retained for the next user that opens charmap. How can I initialize the state of charmap for each new user with the correct font and “Advanced view” features showing. It is said,but in old posts, that reinitialization occurs for all but administrative users,
but this seems to be no longer true. I have tried permission changes in charmap’s Properties, but I can’t get the necessary reinitialization to occur even if user’s don’t have modify permission. Can one use a .ini file, or the .mui file, or make Registry changes
to accomplish my goals. There seems to be a warning in the .mui file about changing fonts, but is it cancelled? I am using Windows 7 and C#.
I have looked at other character maps but they are either too complicated for the casual user, or they have no search engine and advanced features, or they have the same problems.
I am pretty much a novice with respect to the Windows files use and WPF, so please be fairly clear, complete, and prescriptive in your answer. Also so that I and others can learn, it would be nice to have an explanation of why one does whatever you suggest.
Your help is appreciated.

It's good to read Antoniad's post. It reassures me that I can use my new iPad as an international communication device which is the reason I purchased the thing. However, I called Verizon today (my provider of cellular data) who told me that I can't just pop in a SIM card as you suggested. He also said that he was from the "Pre-Pay" division of Verizon and he was certain that I couldn't do what I planned to do. I was extremely disappointed as I had called Apple prior to buying the iPad and I read the algorhythm on the website for choosing an iPad before purchasing. Those sources were quite specific and the information seemed clear. I would be able to use my iPad to communicate through cellular connections while traveling on the road, literally, abroad. I was told that I could pop in a data card wherever I was, just as you indicated in your message above, and voila I was good to go. The Verizon rep definitively rained on that parade, but said that I might be able to do this if I have a "Post-Pay" account, a different area of Verizon. I haven't had the chance to talk to this division yet, so I looked to Apple's Support for answers. Maybe I will find out that I can use my iPad as an international communication device while traveling on the road afterall, however, it appears I may need a different type of account (Post-Pay), something I was never warned about. Can I switch to this kind of account? I don't know. I have to find out. If you have any information about this issue, it would be good to share since I strongly suspect there are others who bought the iPad for the same purpose that I have.

How can i get the map version in OVI?

In map loader,we can see the map version in the left of the bottom of the interface.
But,how can i get the version in my phone in OVI Suite map?
my phone is E72,ovi suite is the lastest.

Hi think, currently you can check, what map data files there's in your device by browsing device in Nokia Ovi Suite. Just click arrow on top of the phone icon and check what map data files there's in the device.
Unfortunately, we don't have yet functionality to show, what version maps there's in device.

How can I get the output of graphical mapping as an input to java mapping?

Hi Experts,
I am using graphical mapping in my scenario to get an xml at the end, now after this i want to use java mapping and then do encryption on this input. I am using both the mappings in the same interface
Here the thing is, the input to the java mapping should be the output of the first graphical mapping.
How can I link the java mapping and graphical mapping so that Ill get the output of the graphical mapping as the input to the java mapping?
Some pointers to similar kind of implementations is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas
Edited by: Thomas Varghese on Jan 22, 2009 11:35 AM

hi,
the input to the jave mapping will be exaclty the same as if you don't have
any mapping before that
the only different is that the input will be XML of the output of the message mapping
have a look at my blog to see how to combine two mappings:

that's all

How can I evaluate the count of a query I'd like to execute with a map...

Hi. I have a problem with a query...
I hava created a query which a execute with a Map (I use the
executeWithMap(Map) method). The problem is that sometimes this query
returns a large resultset. So, I would like to execute an other query
(called query_count) before executing ther final query with the Map. If
the query_count returns a count < 200, I execute the final query. How can
I do ? There is an example I have read this in the documentation :
Query query = pm.newQuery (Magazine.class, "price < 5");
query.setResult ("count(this)");
Long count = (Long) query.execute ();
The problem in this example is that the query is not execute with a Map.
So my question is : "How can we do the evalute the count of a query we
would like to execute with a map ?". Thank you for any response.

Hi John,
You should be able to executeWithMap that query, too. Is that giving you
problems?
Note that there may be an easier solution. What do you do if there are more
than 200 results? If, e.g., you just get the first N, then one option is to
set the FetchBatchSize on the query to N (thus activating large result set
support), and then call size () on the resulting Collection. This will
issue a SELECT COUNT(*) to the database to determine the size automatically.
Thanks,
Greg

Since updating the recent OS on my iPad my location services do not work. Maps "Cannot determine location" and "Find Me" is running in circles. How can I delete the update on my iPad???

Since updating the recent OS on my iPad my location services do not work. Maps "Cannot determine location" and "Find Me" is running in circles. How can I delete the update on my iPad???

You can't delete the update and your problem probably is not in the Update.
Check to see if Location Services is turned ON. (Settings > Privacy > Location Services)
What model iPad Mini do you have? WiFi or WiFi + Cellular
Have you recently changed WiFi routers?

How can I drop the previous location on maps

How can I drop the previous locations on maps?

Best I could find for now, although it didn't automatically fix the problem:
- Click on your "Current Location" dot
- Click on Info icon in the little pop-up window
- Click the "Report a Problem" button
- Choose "Information is incorrect" from the dropdown menu on top
- You can change your "Current Location" address info here, which I'm assuming will be sent to Apple. It didn't automatically change the information for me, but at least I was able to send a specific report about it.
