Did they bother to fix the GPS issues in new update 3.1.3?
Just wondering if they have bothered to fix the gps issues that countless people seen to have with the 3gs, me included. We shouldn't have to mess around putting phone into airplane mode, turning location settings on and off and resetting network settings to get googlemaps to pick up the bloody gps, only to then have it not work again as soon as you exit maps and having to repeat the process. With the amount of people suffering the same issues it leads me to believe the reason it hasn't been addressed is because apple don't know how to fix if. Although not documented as one of the fixes I was just wondering if it's performing any better. Any info is appreciated, cheers.
Here's what's reported... http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2010/02/02/apple-releases-iphone-313-iphone-ipod-to uch-devices/
It's only been out for about an hour so we won't know if there are other fixes for a few days.

When are they going to fix the syncing issue with podcast playlists...????
And is there anywhere I can complain to Apple about it..??????? This is getting REALLY frustrating....
Which version of iTunes are you using? 9.0.1 fixes several Podcats issues - see this link for a news item:
http://www.podcastingnews.com/2009/09/24/itunes-9-0-1-fixes-podcast-sync-problem s/
Note the iTunes version - if you're still using 9.0, move up to 9.0.1

HT5167 please tell me they fixed the wifi issue in this update
does anyone know if the wifi 10.7.2 issue is fixed with this update?
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Apple-LION-WIFI-Problems/239806982720544I did the diagnostics, the result is that "my connection is working properly." But it seems strange to me that in the same room where I have the router the signal strength is maximum 70%. Or in my room, the signal with the macbook is unstable while with my old pc was full signal.
is a problem of my macbook or I can't do anything? -
iOS 7.0.3 did not fix the mirroring issue with ATVs and AirServer. Anyone have an idea what needs to be done? The only solution we have found is to reboot the iPad. We don't have the option of restarting the wireless as so many people are on and it would further disrupt classes.

How Can I Fix The Graphics Issue...?
After having my computer for a few years, it started getting an artifact around the mouse, and when it did that, everything was frozen, key commands didn't work, and I would have to manually shut it down.
I went to the Apple store, and they couldn't get it to boot, even with their external drive. The guy at the Apple store took my computer into the back, and a few minutes later, brought it out. He said he had gotten it to boot, without their external drive, but wouldn't tell me how. He said there was a problem with my video card. He said $400 to fix it.
Not having the money, I left. A friend told me how to safe boot the computer, and now it will turn on, despite the artifacts and graphics problems. Why didn't the guy at the store tell me this? It's obviously the only way he could have booted it. He wanted to charge me $50 to back up my data, when I could do it myself under the safe boot.
The thing is, when using safe boot, I have no audio or video functionality- the camera doesn't work, the speakers don't work, and the disc drive doesn't work. I've read up on this, and it's an issue for a lot of macs, from about the time I bought mine. They say there was too much glue used somewhere in the computer (2 or 3 little chips with too much glue or something), and over time the glue/ adhesive gets too hot, and spreads to other areas and ruins them (ie. my graphics card). That's my simplified understanding of the issue, anyway.
Why won't Apple replace it for me? They won't let me trade it in, because it won't boot right, but this is an issue they were aware of at some point. I spent a lot of money on this laptop and it's really nothing more than a digital typewriter now.
Does anyone know how I can fix the graphics issue? Aside from shelling out the money I don't have for something that's really Apple's fault? It'd be really nice to be able to, I don't know, watch things and listen to things. That was the whole reason I got this thing.
Thanks for any ideas, feedback, sympathy, empathy or other comments.
<Edited by Moderator>Ok, you are right, maybe I don't know it for a fact . . . but from all the things I read in various forums, there was a batch (or something similar) of macs (the exact kind I have) that did have too much glue on some parts, and it caused all sorts of problems for different people, most of those problems being with the graphics card. Apparently the excess glue overheats and leaks out of where it's supposed to stay, and whatever it has the misfortune of getting on goes to pot.
I got very brave, thinking my computer was shot- I opened it, and there was, indeed, crusty glue coming out from under some ... things ... three square chip like things ... and it had seeped onto the edges my graphics card. Having seen the inside of other laptops, I know it was not supposed to look like that no matter how old it is.
This whole issue happened just a few months after my (overpriced, unused) AppleCare expired. Irony?
I did backup all my data and files (no thanks to the Apple people; and on safe boot the disc drive won't work, so I had to borrow my friend's external hard drive for backing up), and did a clean install with the original discs. It was a huge hassle, and when it was finally done, I booted my computer normally. It worked for about 10 minutes before it got artifacts all over and froze, at which point I had to force shut it down. I've tried the clean reinstall a few times, but the problem (I think) is that the glue inside already did the damage, and my graphics card is shot. So, I've been running it on safe boot for months. No music. No video. No disc drive. OH- and the best part- on safe boot, the airport won't work. I can't use wi-fi, and I can't take my laptop anywhere because I'm tethered to a modem. It's the worst thing ever. All of it. It's horribly depressing.
I'm just really frustrated and irritated that this happened, and Apple won't do anything. I do realize they don't HAVE to do anything- buyer beware and whatnot- BUT as a reputable company they should at least let me trade in with the discount or whatever. I didn't have to choose Mac, it was the most expensive computer I looked at- but it has so many awesome functions and things . . . that I can't even use . . .
As a poor college student I don't have the option to get a new computer or have Apple replace any parts in this one, so I just kind of feel like Apple screwed me over. Their fault? Maybe not. Their product? Yes, so they should want to keep me as a future customer. At least I think so.
I guess this isn't quite a question. But I would love more feedback, ideas, anything. Has anyone else had this problem? Can I replace my own video card? Will Apple do anything at all? I love macs but I might never get another one, since this could happen again.
And- unrelated- who changed the title of my post, and how, and why? -
How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?
This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

I ask because every time I did call they could not fix the problem, as in I could not send mail, I was told it was my Internet, then they tell me it is my computer. After spending many many hours on the phone with Apple, I was told I had to reload my hard drive. Which by the way takes a lot more then a few hours. The next day I found I still had the same problem. I could not send mail... I found the problem my self// I didn't have a mail box set up to send mail. How sample that was. Then the next time if I wanted to empty trash I had to turn off the computer then reset to do so. When I called tech support she tells me that is normal and they had to do the same thing every time. Well she is wrong in that if you use "empty securely" and not the one that just says empty trash then you do not have to reset or turn off your computer.... So I ask what am I paying $245.00 for? I am sure I will need support at some time, and at least it does give me someone to talk to.

I thank you all for all the replies..
I will be buying the service plan if only for the hardware... I really can not say much about the other support, other then every time I get a female support tech she seems to not know what she is talking about and says that is the way it works... I just keep calling back until I get someone that will know a little to help fix the problem. And yes I hate to say is most likely a male tech.
I do agree apple is NOT what they started out to be... How sad!!! MADE in CHINA very SAD. And here I thought I was buying USA.......
FYI - there has not been a name brand consumer personal computer actually manufactered in the USA in years. Lenovo, Dell, HP, Acer, Apple, Samsung,... - you name it they are ALL made in China or Tiawan. Often many of those brands are being assembled by the same Chinese company in the exact same factory, pulling parts (hard drives, displays, RAM, etc) from the exact same bins. Foxconn for example, which makes iPhones and iPads for Apple, also makes dozens of other makes and models of tablets, ereaders and smart phones for other companies. Like it or not, but the consumer electronic manufactering center of the world is China.
The only consumer computers actually made in the USA these days are by local custom build companies, and it has actually been that way for many years now (I think twinhead may have been one of the last with a plant in the USA - they are still around, now GammaTech, and they still do their "final assembly" in the USA but most of thier manufacturing is done in Tiawan and Malaysia).
By and large, the USA has been out of the actual consumer electronics manufacturing/assembly business for a decade or so now. -
Does the Imovie 6.0.3 update fix the stability issues?
Hi,
Been using Imovie 6.0.2 a fair bit lately, and have had quite a few crashes. I see from this forum that I'm not the only one.
I haven't yet been able to update to the latest version (6.0.3) released last week, and would like some user experience opinions about whether the update has fixed the stability issues. Anybody noticed any improvements or otherwise?
My crashes seem to happen pretty randomly, it could be when you're putting a transition in, or just when you click Play or move the playhead. Any time really. I get the little spinning circle and Imovie is hung. Tried leaving it for ages just in case it was eventually going to return, but it doesn't.
Has the patch fixed it?
cheers,
IanSoftware Update says I have nothing that needs updated. Since I know this isnt true, I went to Downloads and attempted to install both updates--it stopped and said I had to go back to the previous download. After a couple journeys back to nowhere, I gave up.

Ggrrrrr, is there any that bios that fixes the temp issue? [solved]..spoke too soon [NOT SOLVED]

come on msi, give me a fighting chance :(Here is the last thing I received from MSI tech support. I'll give them this much, they are much more responsive than VIA or AOpen ever were when I first got my flakey MVP3 board...lol. I hope they can figure this problem out!

So far in our own testing, we have not found any High CPU Temperature issues.
We have gone through the threads you have provided to us and we will co-work with AMD to see if anything needs to be updated from our side with the New Castle Core.
Once again, MSI appreciates all the findings/reports you have provided to us and we will update you once there is any findings becomes available.
Sincerely,

I know you guys think you fixed the Newcastle temperature problem. But there are still a LOT of us out here who are having trouble, using latest BIOS. People are reporting this all over the MSI forums. The behavior is as follows, flashing the BIOS might help initially, but soon after the temp shoots way back up.
Please see the following threads:
Temps and BIOS 1.42

To anyone who has 5.1.1 on their Note 4 - has it fixed the iPlayer issues?
I am considering upgrading my 5.0.1 Note 4 from Lollipop to Kit-Kat so that I can use iPlayer. However, if someone can confirm that 5.1.1 has fixed the iPlayer issue then I might wait a bit for the OTA update.
Did you run the ims_dssetup utility script on the directory server before attempting the install?
It sounds to me like it has not as one thing the ims_dssetp utility does is add the suffix definition to the slapd.ldbm.conf file for o=internet.

MSI didn't fix the temperature issue for AMD 64 processors. I'm sure.
For people who didn't read my previous posts;
MSI claims in BIOS 1.4 (for the MSI K8N Neo Platinum) that they fixed the problem that the CPU gets (for example) 54 degrees idle and 74 degrees load.
They didn't. They just made up a fake solution.
Here are my arguments.
- When I start my computer, after a cold long night in which the computer was turned off, I see 42 degrees for my CPU in the BIOS. This is when I go DIRECTLY to the BIOS in the POST. 42 degrees? That is impossible. The temperature in my room is around 20. It can't get so high so fast. My Northbridge is 21. In the old BIOS 1.3 it was the same; when you started your computer the BIOS showed temperatures like 52 etc.
- When my computer has started Windows XP, I start Core Center. There I see my CPU temperature. It is 39 degrees for my CPU. Ridiculous. My old AMD XP 1800+ started with a minimum of 29 when Windows started. After that the 1800+ increased to 48 degrees.
But ok, when I use the trick which some people used in BIOS 1.3 to get true readings (restarting their computer with a soft boot), I see 34 degrees for my CPU. This reading is the only true reading. Isn't it weird that when I have my computer turned on for about 4 hours, with whole the time readings like 42 degrees idle, and I restart, I just get 34 degrees... WITHOUT fluctuating temperatures to hell and back...
My conclusion is that MSI just made something up like '74-20 = 54 degrees in load and 62-20 = 42 degrees idle'.
Also, the temperatures are fluctuating to hell and back. It goes from 58 degrees in load to 54 to 50... Whatever...
This board is great, but this problem really, really s u c k s. FIX this. We have the right of correct temperature readings. We spend money for it.

MeQuote

We are users helping each other. If you must speak with an MSI tech you can always contact them from the MSI main page. Oh and it is not likely they will answer if you attack them the way you are writing in this forum. Now would I for that matter.
I do agree that some in this thread have crossed the line and need to watch it .

So play nice folks or there won't likely be a second warning.
Very good advice!

Yes there can stilkl be temp issues especially with the newcastle core CPU's. The new Bios is still a work in progress. There are a lot of combinations they need to work out. But if you contact MSI with a complaint in a cival manner and let them know what experience you have you may even get a new beta bios to try and see if it will solve your issues. Or they may have other suggestions. However they can't fix stuff they are not aware are broken and most of the problems disappeared when they released 1.4. So let them know about what you have.
Been there done that. They were responsive in the beginning. Continued to send them very polite and factual updates as I tried new BIOS updates but have long since ceased to receive any response at all. Again, I say I don't blame MSI. Just want a fix.....

Oh yes and running these chips in the 50C+ range at full load is still within reason.
I reread the thread a few times, and I don't see where anyone is claiming that they feel like that's a problem, so I'm confused about the relevance of this statement . The problem that's been mentioned here is that the temperature is being REPORTED at 50+C at IDLE load conditions when it obviously is NOT that hot. Restart of the machine immediately then shows an IDLE temp of 30C. Even though 30 seconds prior it showed 50C with just as low of a load since it was right after cold start? THIS situation is NOT within reason.... And it's very repeatable, cause I see it every single day -
