Droid Eris 2.1 update and facebook problems

I just downloaded the Eris 2.1 update and the new facebook update today. I have had nothing but trouble since then. I went to the Verizon store for help and got nowhere. The facebook widget does not work. The facebook ap works partway. I cannot retrieve the newsfeed or profile from the ap. HELP!

This may have already been covered... haven't read all the posts... but I have lost the following due to the 2.1 update... 1. SPEED DIALING... 2. WEATHER AND LOCATION ON THE HTC Sense UI... 3. Voice Dialer keeps arbitrarily starting and locking up. 4. When I pull up my APP KILLER, it shows random apps are running... with as many as 8 different apps (many of which I was not nor have not used) are active. It's no wonder battery is dying so rapidly.

Droid Eris 2.1 Update - How long it takes?

I brought 2 ERIS with Andriod 1.5 and I was told that within 2 weeks, over the air they will upgrade to Android 2.1.
But after 3 weeks they have not send any email/update to my phones. I have seen so many old comments about Eris 2.1 upgrade, but when I call verizon (few times) all of the customer service seems surprize and keep asking the same questions and same method.. one on them even rooted my phone, but then too I do not get any over the air upgrade... on my 3rd call one of them told me to talk to HTC... but then HTC people keeping giving us run around .. They are taking advantage of the convoluted mess of having three companies involved being google, HTC and Verizon .. no one is saying how long it takes to get the update and when we will get it... according to HTC they have updated million phones and still have to update few millions..... but if HTC cannot support this why can't they release this software to verizon or put it on their web-site ... I am guessing they do not want another million customer... if they give this kind of service.... My issue is that we bought our phone from verizon and pay money to verizon so why am i needing to call HTC? because of HTC verizon are losing more customer then they will lose to iPhone ;.... Whether any one has similar exp?

I totally agree. Do NOT update to 2.1 yet; wait and see if these updates they're pushing out fix all the bugs. From the time I downloaded 2.1 to my Eris (which, till that point, I loved--I had purchased it less than a month before 2.1), I have had nothing but problems. Horribly laggy dialing, force closings on my texting, unable to access my speed dial...the list goes on. Although, surprisingly, not the silent call problem so much; only minor incidences of that. I finally got so frustrated that I de-activated the Eris and went back to using my LG enV, and am waiting till I hear if this new update works to fix all the problems before I reactivate the Eris, which is currently, in effect, an expensive paperweight. I wish I had never updated from 1.5. If this update doesn't work, I'm going back to Verizon and finding some way to get out of my contract. I'm a 12-year customer of theirs, but I'm ready to walk if I can't use this phone; that's how unhappy I am with it after 2.1. So think hard before upgrading your OS!

Newest update and Facebook

Hi, downloaded the newest update and it has changed the entire look of my phone. Not sure if I like it yet. But, it deleted Facebook from my HUB and I can't figure out how to get it back. It is still in my accounts but I am no longer receiving notifications from FB. Any suggestions/ideas?

Latest firmware update and more problems with 30" external displays?

Hello,
New macbook pro user since a few weeks, so first post here.
I'm aware of various issues with the displayport to dual-dvi adapter, especially with 30" 2560x1600 monitors. All threads I've found on are 1-3 years old though.
I got my 17" macbook pro a few weeks ago and I've had very few problems running my 30" dell 3008wfp as external screen. I had issues at times getting it to work after boot up, with blackout and various errors (problems I've read about in older threads), but once stable it would work without issues for days.
Yesterday the macbook found and installed a new firmware update, and wow, all **** broke lose. The external screen won't run at 2650x1600 for more than a minute before blacking out or suffering major graphical errors. Ironically one of the key points in the firmware update is better support for external monitors...
It will run nice and stable mirrored at 1920x1200, but not at 2650x1600.
Is anyone else in a similar situation after the latest update?

Please Help! 10.6.8 Update and subsequent problems

On Friday, 2/10/2012, the Software Update popped up and informed me that new updates were ready to be installed on my MacBook Pro.
I clicked the update button and the updater installed the following updates:
iTunes v10.5.3
Security Update 2012-001 v1.1
MacBook Pro Video Update v1.0
Remote Desktop Client Update v3.5.2
Keynote 5.1.1 v5.1.1
Safari v5.1.2
Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 6 v6.0
Soon after installation Safari started crashing whenever I opened new tabs. I reset Safari and that problem went away.
I also run a Virtual Machine (Windows Vista imported from a Sony Vaio). The virtual machine has never had a problem and I used it on Thursday before the update and it worked fine. However, after the updates, I can no longer use the virtual machine. It has been corrupted. I get a message that says "Unable to Access Hard Drive 1: input/output error."
Then my whole Mac started running slow, especially Safari. In Safari, pages are slow to load and I get the spinning color wheel (or "beach ball," as I have heard it referred to) when I'm on any web page. Pages take long to load. After they load, I still get the spinning color wheel consistently.
Other programs are somewhat slower to load, as well, and when switching between open programs, there are delays and even more spinning color wheels and beach balls.
My computer has never had a problem until after I installed those updates.
I have repaired permissions and I have also re-donloaded the combo straight from the Apple website, but that did not work.
Is anyone else having this problem? Or has anyone else had this problem? What to do?
Thanks.
And, uhm, no- I did not have Time Machine set up, unfortunately.

Grant, thanks for the reply.
I have NOT been considering a new hard drive. My MacBook Pro is not even two years old, yet (I bought it in May 2010). So, the thought of having to replace my hard drive within 2 years has not even entered my mind and (as I stated) I only started having these problems within the past 2 weeks after having installed the latest updates via Software Update.
Really, if my Hard Drive needs to be replaced after less than 2 years of light use, then I will just chalk this up as a lesson learned and just not buy another Apple product and would probably just buy a Windows-based laptop rather than replace the HD in my MBP.
I am working on transferring my files (the ones that will still open and/or copy) to an external hard drive and doing a clean install of my OS X. I also am trying to figure out if I can somehow manage to save my pics that will not copy to the external hard drive but are saved on my iPad before I do so.
I'm not a computer or Mac genius by any stretch of the imagination, but I do appreciate your reply and advice. Unfortunately, I don't have any idea what it means to re-write a "wvwey block with a known-good pattern." Is that something I have to do manually? You stated that the option is in Disk Utility. Is "write zeroes" an option that you can select or is something you have to input manually? Can you break it down in simple terms for me or give me some step-by-step instructions or a link?
I apologize for my ignorance, but (again) I do appreciate your replay and advice as well as that of HackInt0sh.
Thanks.

Airport Update and New Problems

Every since I exposed my rock stable mac to the last airport update and system update, I have had some connectivity problems with my airport. I cannot get Back To My Mac to work. I can't print off of my USB connected to the airport. I went into Airport set up and the airport does not recognize the printer. I tried to get on my desktop mac in the other room, and can't log on. I can't see my wife's computer sitting across from me. Should I be looking at a different problem, or is this a up-date conundrum?

I'm still experiencing these problems with the 7.4.2 firmware upgrade. I think there may be a problem with the computer's Airport card, not with the base station. Perhaps the 7.4.2 firmware has nothing to do with it. Maybe it's a problem with an OS X update. Sometimes, inexplicably the internet will go offline for a few minutes. During this time not only my network (coming WiFi from my Airport Extreme Base Station) but also all of my neighbor's networks suddenly disappear. A few minutes later everything returns to normal. Also during this time my ISP remains online; there is no problem with the ISP. The MacBook is the only device that seems to "think" that all internet networks are down. Another big tip off is during this time the Airport utility fails to recognize my base station at all. It doesn't even see it... period. If this were an ISP problem the Base Station would still appear as visible to the AirPort Utility.

Update and installation problems

I am having issues with Creative Cloud updates and installations.
None of my Apps will update. I am prompted to update, I click the update button, Cloud says "updating software" but all attempts stop at 0%.
Similar issues Installing Apps. Installations start but all stop at 90%. No error messages at all.
This is extremely frustrating and all my Apps are in need of updates to fix minor bugs which are effecting my workflow.
Can you help?

We can't know. You have not provided any exact system info or other details like the install/ update logs. You can always run the cleaner and start from scratch.

The update and other problems PLEASE HELP!!!

The ovi store on my phone asked me to download the newer version which I did, is there an update for ovistore on the computer because I haven't heard about it if there is one and it may solve the problems I have been having with it:
1. I don't receive the messages when trying to get an app
2. It wont let me down load apps when I connect my phone to the computer
(also on the nokia website it told me to click the download and install button to get an app when plugged into the computer but I can't find it..Any ideas where it is???)
please help i've had this problem since I first set up my account and its really bugging me now!!!!!!

(Apologies for barging in Steve.)
These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80071A91, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

IOS 7 Update and Configurator Problems

Since the iOS 7 update, we have been unable to 'Check In' devices with Configurator, and refreshing devices has been difficult. We have iPad 2s and Configurator 1.3.1 running on Mac OS 10.7.5. Sometimes the message is, "Could not create a backup", and sometimes the message is, "Unable to fetch a list of installed apps". Is anyone else having the same problems?
We have updated all software - OS, Configurator, iTunes, and all iOS Apps. We have 4 paid apps (iMovie, Pages, Keynote and Configurator), and no free apps for the VPP account on each iPad. Each iPad is named and assigned to one student. Students have their own iTunes account to add free apps as needed. The only way I have found that this works without error is to delete the student name from "Assign", but then I can't transfer any of their information when a device has problems. I have tried this with devices that are not having any problems to make sure it is not related to other problems. These problems did not exist until the iOS 7 update. Hopefully a Configurator update will be on the way soon?

Here is what worked for me in dealing with this hot mess.
Using iTunes, I went to each individual iPad and restored it to factory settings. Takes about 5 minutes per iPad.
When it was done, I didn't set it up as a new iPad, I simply clicked the "eject" button so it no longer appeared in my list, which prevented me from restoring the same iPad twice and wasting time.
Once all of them were done, which took an entire day, I opened up the updated version of configurator. All of the iPads restored and installed the apps that I need and the problem was solved.
Did this about five minutes ago. Time will tell if it sticks, but for now, they are fixed.
You could probably try to downgrade your iOS7 cart back to iOS6, that's what I ended up doing.

Updates and Comms problems

The Blackberry Curve 8530, with an Otterbox case to ruggedize it is about the best communications gadget ever built.
Serious, it's like a futuristic Captain Kirk/Star Wars do-all, be-all, end-all machine; I love it.
However, I do not like the fact that after my very first update over a year ago, I lost the function of the 'Word to go' app, as well as the 'slideshow to go' app.
I figured that it's again time I got around to fixing the problem, but each time I attempt to contact the Blackberry people, its like chasing ghosts; I view social media such as Facebook and Twitter as invasions of privacy and time-consuming nuisances; emails and texts are much more important to me.
It irritates me to no end that there seems to be no email contact for Blackberry users; its as if RIM makes the product, then lets social media outlets look after their customer service. [Perhaps that's why RIM stock has had a rough time.]
If anyone can advise me on how to contact an actual help-person at RIM, please let me know.
Thanks very much.

Hi there,
Your point of contact for your BlackBerry device is through your carrier, in your case, Koodo. They should be able to help you themselves, or they can escalate the call to RIM if they are unable to resolve the issue on their end.
That said, it sounds to me like the Documents To Go app wasn't included when you upgraded your device software before. One way to get it back is to do the following:
Start by ensuring you have the BlackBerry Desktop Software installed on your computer. If you need to install it, you can download it from http://blackberry.com/desktop. Now, go to https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/contactFormPreload.do?code=094366EAA7A4B5D7F9ED227F212B... and download the OS for your Curve 8530 from there (this link is for the most recent OS version, 5.0.0.973).
Run the file to install the OS to your computer. Once the OS has been installed, open the BlackBerry Desktop Software and backup the data on your phone (always a good practice before making any changes).
Next, click on the Applications tab on the left of the BlackBerry Desktop Software. Once the Desktop Software has read the applications on your BlackBerry, find the Documents to Go app in the list, and click on the + sign to the right. Next, click Apply.
This will install the Documents to Go app to your BlackBerry and you should be back up and running!
I hope that info helps!

10.4.7 update and USB problems

I have been experiencing problems with my USB devices (other than my Apple mouse and keyboard) since updating to 10.4.7. I have a card reader, a Palm device, a USB midi keyboard and a digital camera dock connected to a USB hub connected to the back of my Studio Display.
Randomly they start to beep like they do when the system boots or they are connected or reconnected without anything or anyone touching them. Sometimes they just beep, other times I lose functionality until I disconnect and reconnect the hub or device.
I have disconnected all, and connected just one or another (without the hub as well) but no matter what is connected I still get the same issue of the system thinking the devices are connecting or disconnecting at random times. This is new with 10.4.7, as I have had the same hardware connected as far back as 10.2. Anyone else having this problem, loss of USB functionality or sollution for such since updating to 10.4.7?

I too am having many of the same issues as all of you. I have my keyboard, mouse, and printer hooked up to a NEC USB 2.0 Manual Share Switch Hub. The hub is connected to a non-factory USB 2.0 card I installed in my PowerMac. Before the 10.4.7 update, I had none of these following problems.
Everything works and has worked great until I put the computer to sleep. Upon waking, the USB hub refuses to acknowledge my computer. I also get two strange beeps as it is waking. And because my input devices are hooked up to the hub, I am unable to do anything but restart the computer, upon which all becomes well again with the usb hub.
I defintely prefer to put my computer to sleep rather than restarting it everytime. Hopefully apple provides a fix soon; I really don't feel like messing with extensions. I could always revert back to 10.4.6, but I guess I was being optimistic that the fix would come soon. APPLE, get on it!

Business Catalyst and Facebook problem

I have seen threads on this subject as well as the articles, but I am not certain the problem was answered. I have added a Facebook "like" button to my Large Product Display (and the button works). The large product display has several upsell/cross-sell items on it.
When I am testing it, I go to my FB page and look to see that it has indeed been posted. However, 2 problems show up.
1. The photo shown is not the main item, but one of the upsell/cross-sell items.
2. The descriptive text is using my footer text as the description.
Where did I go wrong?
I want to use the main photo and the product description (both of which are in the product's information). Is there a modifcation I can make to the module? Is something else needed?
Chuck

For this you would use the Open Graph Tags, in this case the < og:image > and < og:description >. These are going to be Meta tags you will place in your Large Product Layout, using the image and description tags as the Meta content. Then when the page is loaded BC will place these into the head tag of the website.
Something like this:
<meta property="og:image" content="http://yoursitehere.com/{tag_imagepath}"/> //relative path might work, i tested a absolute path
<meta property="og:description" content="{tag_description}"/>
Another option is to use custom fields to populate these values.
This page describes the Open Graph tags you can play with:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraphprotocol/
You can also use facebook's debugger to find out what info facebook is pulling from the pages you’re looking at, so you don't have to like and unlike things.

Hope this helps you.
