Dimmest PB display I've ever had

Just got a 12" PB (1.5 ghz) used. Runs great but the display is dimmer than my old Pismo. Any hacks to brighten the screen?

Your screen may be faded. Try ScreenCleaner Pro, it's totally free, and works like a charm (I have used it myself). Get it here: http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/freebies/

THe BEST phone I ever had....Nokia 1100 - Nokia, p...

I have just had to pay SILLY money for a Nokia 1100 - the BEST phone I ever had. PLEASE, Nokia, re-release this excellent phone....for me, what's done is done, but, please make this phone available for others...I cannot reccomend the Nokia 1100 HIGHLY ENOUGH. The fact that people are now sheling out £££ speaks vulumes....
Here is my Amazon review for this EXCELLENT phone....
"I am someone who likes things exactly so. For a lot of things, basic doesn't do it for me.
For example, I won't use anything but the highly customisable Firefox (with Adblock Plus, Noscript, Stylish and Social Fixer add-ons), to get the web just the way I want.
You know what? As far as mobiles go, this IS just the way I want already.
Here are the reasons...
* Simple and easy to use
* Old style monochrome viewer, with a backlight, which means that, unlike basically every other phone on the market, whatever the time of day...indoors, outdoors, day, night, the display is always - ALWAYS easy to read.
* It has a 'Loud' profile. As someone who is slightly hard of hearing, this means that I absolutely always hear when someone rings me or texts me.
* Unlike a lot of other phones, the alarm clock is loud enough to actualy wake me up.
* Rounded keys...meaning that I don't struggle to type someone's number.
* Durable. I have had this model for over 5 years, in that time, it's been on the roof of a car that's driven off, falen on concrete from 10 foot, been with me when I've fallen over drunk countless times, and who knows what else...and it still works perfectly.
* Long battery life. I only have to charge it once every 12-14 days.
* It's basic, so won't get nicked. It's fallen out of my pocket in pubs, clubs and at a party, and I've always had it back.
Three times, I have 'upgraded' when I've been flush, and three times, I've come back to my trusty Nokia 1100.
I cannot rate this phone highly enough. Shame on Nokia for discontinuing it..."

As far as what people want from phones nowadays is concerned...I accept that, but, there are plenty f us out there who want a phone to be - A PHONE - it's not rocket science. I spand ages online - but, through my PC - where I can see hings properly, and with Firefox add-ons, Adblock Plus and Noscript, I'm safer than safe, and don't get to see any capitalist rubbish. Also, the fact that prices for the Nokia 1100 are rising, and rising rapidly...that, to me, suggests something...myself, I've bought a second one just as a backup...my first one lasted me well over a decade before I lost it...so, I reckon these wil last me well into my life...

I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store.

I am feeling so ripped off right now. I have wanted a Mac for years and believed the hype about it's stability and I have had more trouble with this Imac 2011 than I have ever had with a pc. It locks up with several software products from APP store. I have already had to have a technician to look at it and really couldn't figure out what the deal was. I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software. This machine is only 4 weeks old and I am using 37 g on a 1 T hard drive. There is no reason for it to be locking up. Also, when I try to use the help program, it always tells me that I am not connected to the internet even though I have used both the mail program and the browser with no problem just before that. I successfully used the help program on my pc lots of times. I did not need a $2000. plus machine to just get email. I just wanted to unload on somebody that might understand my pain and after checking out this site...I think there is a few of you out there.

I was told that the APP store software should give me no problems but the truth is that it locks up on the software.
The apps downloaded from the Mac App Store are written by third party developers, not Apple. If you have problems with those apps you need to visit the support area for their websites. Launch the App Store, locate the app name. You should see a support link.

Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.helpviewer.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac, try the Help menu.
If you need help finding that file, hold down the Finder icon in the Dock then click: New Finder Window. From the menu bar top of your screen click: Go > Go to Folder. Type this in exactly as you see it here: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist That will take you right to that file.
(.plist) files stores information about a particular app or in this case, the Help viewer. Often times deleting the .plist file resolves the issue.
It's fine to "unload"... we understand that you expect your iMac to be stable but there are times when things go awry. That's why we have these forums so that you can you get help.

I'm sorry you feel, "ripped off", but you are using the world's most advanced operating system and it may take some time to adjust to a new OS. http://developer.apple.com/technologies/mac/

Hi joej49728017,
I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused. However this is just because Adobe Acrobat 7.0 is an outdated version & the now the activation server for it does not exist.
Please refer to the following KB doc. Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
The above link will help you to install a special version that does not require activation.
In case you further need any help, please let us know. We will be more than happy to help you.

Not promising it will help, but it's worth a shot.

New Desktop Software is asking for password - which I don't think I ever had now can't use phone either

     After downloading the new Desktop Software, it won't allow my BB Curve 8520 to connect w/o a password - I do not believe I ever had a password on my desktop software and it is threatening to delete my data if I don't enter correct password ;;;
     also now I can't use my phone because the same message is coming up on my phone asking for a password - I did have a password on my phone but that password is not working for the desktop software and now I can't use the phone password on the phone - it is asking for some other password which I don't have -
     is there some way to have the password sent to me - I don't want to loose the contacts and other data on my phone and the Desktop

Hi,
Just make sure you are typing the right password when DM ask you for it. What I mean is that if your password include numbers you must type in the corresponding letter on your computer keybord...
It's is a common mistake...
Now, is your phone asking you for your password or for a SIM card PIN? If you entered your password too many times as the phone was asking for a SIM card PIN it is probably asking for a PUK (sometime called a personal unlock key). Call your service provider tech support, they are the only one that would have your SIM card PUK to help you...
Until you reach them you can always remove your SIM card (assuming that's your problem...) to be able to use the phone (assuming you're in North America on a CDMA network...).
Hope this helped, have a good one!

Some of the apps previously downloaded have now become blank - white box instead of picture. Name of app still appears. Have tried hard reboot and sync to make sure everything is up to date. Anybody ever had this? How can I fix?

One more thing to try. Double click on the home button. Scroll in that bottom line of icons (swipe finger to left) to the app that are all white. Hold your finger on the app until the - sign appears. Tap it to close the app. Hopefully it will then show up correctly. (As they say about chicken soup curing a cold, "can't hurt")

Why does the top button always brake why as my screen decided to pop off why is the back of my case bending when I have never dropped it why dose this shity phone keep sending text messages as picture messages this is the worst phone av ever had!!

I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

Ever had a stable G5 with 8 gig of RAM?

Has anyone ever had a G5 run nice and stable with 8 gig of RAM?
I have purchased 16 gig in memory and tried every stick independently and they are all good. BUT put 8 gig in the machine and its unstable. Remove the last two mem slots and stability returns.
I now know my G5 has a hardware problem. It sometimes shows up as a 7 gig memory machine in "About this Mac" and "More Info" shows that the system reads the last two slots as 512 K rather than 1 gig modules. (Not first up but after a short while)
Its my belief that this is more than just my machine. Pieter

Q: *I want to reset NVRAM to factory defaults. How do I do that?*
A: When you start a Macintosh computer you can reset the configuration variables by holding down the following keys, "command-option-p-r", without the quotes. Listen for the second boot beep before releasing the keys and the configuration variables will be reset. When a Macintosh computer starts, control is immediately given to what Apple terms "Hardware Init". This firmware is contained in ROM and must use the microprocessor registers since memory is not tested and initialized.
When you hear the boot beep Hardware Init is finished testing and initializing memory and the microprocessor and passes control to Open Firmware. Open Firmware checks for keys being pressed. In this case, command-option-p-r, is detected and Open Firmware resets NVRAM and then passes control back to Hardware Init which will generate another boot beep. Don't worry if you hold down the keys too long and hear more than two boot beeps. More than two boot beeps will just reenter the startup sequence more times which will not cause any harm.
http://devworld.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1103.html
I would reset nvram each and every time I changed device configuration. Also, test with just new RAM alone. Sometimes RAM does get misreported as to its type/speed (PC2700 showed as PC2600 in G4 MDD) and just "cosmetic" and didn't affect operation.
Running memtest is one way; Apple Hardware Test another. If those two pass, I would not worry.

Has anyone else ever had a problem where you had to perform 2 datasocket writes before the datasocket read would pick up the change?

I have a local VI that is simply a control that writes to the datasocket server whenever the control value changes.(the dataitem on the server is permanent - its initialized and never released by the server)
In the same local VI I have a datasocket read polling a different dataitem on the server.
The remote machine has a VI that reads the permanent dataitem on the server once per second.
For some reason, after adding the local VI mentioned above, the remote VI stopped picking up the first change in the permanent variable.
I'd start both the local and remote VIs...
Then change the local control and the remote V
I would not update - as if the datasocket write(upon adjusting the control) did not take place. So I'd change the control value again - this time the remote VI would update to this new value. And from here on out - the remote VI would update correctly. This problem only occurs when the local VI is first started up.
What in the heck is going on?

Gorka is right, this came up on Info-LV a few days ago. Someone
described a similar problem. I replied that I had seen similar
behaviour, reported it to NI, and they verified a bug. There is no fix
yet, but they are aware of it and will fix it. No anticipated release
date for the fix.

More Issues with 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 than ever had before

Since updating my iPhone 5S (T-Mobile) to both 8.0.1 and then 8.0.2 I've had more issues than I've ever had with any iOS in the past (with the exception of iPhone 4 running iOS 7, but clearly that is an older phone, not a 1 year old model like the 5S). Have tried resetting, powering off, etc too by the way.
Here is the list of things I've had coming up as issues:
- Safari Video Playback (Constantly buggy, either never loads, or when it does scrubbing through video is like a broken record)
- Graphical glitches with top screen (Clock / battery portion) always appearing layered over other programs when it shouldn't be.)
- iMessage ( SMS and MMS to non-iOS users takes SEVERAL or MORE attempts to deliver even with 4G/LTE on)
- Mail - When new mail messages arrive in inbox the Notification pops up DELAYED, along with the delayed alert sound (sometimes occurs in Messages/Texts)
- Notifications pop up and sometimes stay on the screen longer than usual (is this a new feature / suppose to be helpful? It isn't.)
- Keyboard Graphical issues (when typing in text boxes in emails or websites, the keyboard cursor becomes delayed and has to catch up with my keystrokes)
- Overall slightly slower (again I know iOS 8 is optimized for whatever the newest hardware is out (iPhone 6), but is there really that much of a difference in hardware between the 5S and 6 that makes this version of iOS 8 so buggy on my phone?)

Hey Chris, thanks for responding, in my above post I mentioned my troubleshooting:
Since updating my iPhone 5S (T-Mobile) to both 8.0.1 and then 8.0.2 I've had more issues than I've ever had with any iOS in the past (with the exception of iPhone 4 running iOS 7, but clearly that is an older phone, not a 1 year old model like the 5S).

IPad 3 freezes after upgrade to 8.0. Never ever had a problem with 7, at all. want to throw the stupid thing out.

After upgrading from 7 to 8 my iPad 3 will freeze using email, safari, games. I never ever had a problem before this upgrade. Have done all the temporary suggestions but nothing is a permanent and will come right back. I am so sorry that I upgraded, can not go back. I really want to thank the IOS guys for screwing everything up. Seems like old times with the Microsoft Tech guys. I have no problem with my iPhone 6 Plus phone.

It seems to be caused by roboform 7.5.1. I upgraded to the latest version of robo and it's working now. Sorry mozilla, not your fault.. very frustrated.
