E90 sync(and more) with linux

Hi,
I've seen some threads about syncing with linux, but thought I'd mention my need of a good solution of not only syncing the E90 with linux, but also have access to advanced features like Nokia maps. I'd hate to have a very capable phone, but miss features because only windows PCs are supported.
As I'm not ready to pay 800€ for a phone I can't fully exploit, I'm looking for people with experience with the E90 and linux, eg: can it be synced and backed up easily? can I transfer maps to the phone from a linux pc? Is the phone usable as a USB mass storage for file transfers?
Maybe Nokia should learn from HP, who makes linux drivers for all their printers.... In that case I wouldn't hesitate to buy the E90.
Thanks in advance
Raph

I submitted something like that recently: To my surprise, at a "general" discussion group, I found out that most people used Linux there!
But large companies favor large companies, and do not change their ways easily. It will probably take another two years before Nokia realizes that it's producing products (like PC Sync) that most of its users cannot use.

Sync and compare with remote

Have just installed DWmx 8 on a new machine and found that
the context
menu for sync and compare with remote is not enabled..
I assume it is something to do with the way I have configured
my sites...
Any ideas???

Can you log into .mac mail? That will tell you if your username and password are OK.
I recently had a similar problem, so I unregistered my work and home computers (using the Advanced tab of .mac preferences) from .mac then re-registered them. At that point, you are offered the initial sync choices like the first time you connected to .mac.
Be careful that you don't overwrite your data. I highly suggest making backups of your Address Book, Safari Bookmarks, iCal, iDisk files, etc. on all computers before starting the process.

1) authorize iTunes on your wife's user account for her iTunes store account(s)
2) connect the device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred her purchases in the previous step, your content will be in her library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

IPod iOS5 wont finish sync and more.

I have been having trouble ever since I decided to update to iOS5. I have had many problems from not being able to get my music to not being able to get wifi sync working. I have currently got all of my problems working after 4 whole days but I just cannot solve the problem for not finishing the sync. I will start the sync and it begins doing its normal things.. backing up, adding music, etc. then at the tail end when you think your finally done, it display's this:
It is so annoying! It happen's every single time. I have tried everything (from the previous troubleshooting I had to do). I have restored ipod twice, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, rebooted laptop and ipod. I have lost all hope. Please help.

So I found the solution out today finally. It has to do with Voice Memos (or atleast in my case). I had to remove the voice memos from my ipod and then resync them back. It now works.
Here's a link to a tutorial: http://peter.upfold.org.uk/blog/2011/10/21/my-resolution-to-ios-5-waiting-for-it ems-to-copy-sync-issue/

Time Machine prepares back ups of 10GB and more with very little activity on my computer

I have an early 2008 iMac with a Samsung 750GBHD, and I am using a Time Machine since 4 years ago working pretty well.
As of beginning 2014 it started to show many errors but at the end of the day there were 1 or 2 back ups done. During this August I realized that back ups were of a size of 10Gb and more nearly every day while the activity of the computer was very light, internet and mail. I cut an anti virus that was working on the background with no success. There is no virus activity, the comp is clean.
What could be the reason for this abnormal activity?

Only way to find out is to analyse what is actually causing the large backups.
Have you installed the widget yet??

I want to get rid of my laptop and use an iPad. Will I be able to keep my iPhone synced and updated with the iPad?

I want to get rid of my laptop and use an iPad2. Will I be able to keep my iPhone updated and synced by using the iPad2 like I currently do with the laptop?

No. You must use a computer to sync and update both devices via iTunes on the computer. The iPad2 cannot replace the laptop for syncing purposes.

Contact and Calendar Duplications, sync and more issues!

I have the iPhone 4S. I decided to activate the iCloud on my phone through to iCloud and to my Windows PC laptop. However, this caused all my calendar entries to duplicate and I had to manually delete the duplications on my Outlook Calendar so that it would not show up in any of the other devices.
I also ended up losing a lot of contacts - they all started merging!
I managed to fix all of this by painfully having to manually delete calendar entries and manually editing contact information but there is still a number of outstanding probelms:
1. Contacts - the prefix for e-mail addresses (i.e home, work etc) now all show as e-mail (rather than home, work etc). I had to manually change them all so it synced correctly in all the relevant devices (PC Laptop, iphone 4S and iCloud). However, after manually changing the e-mail prefix in my PC laptop nothing is reflecting on my 4S nor in the Cloud. iCloud is definitely working as things are syncing, it is just not dealing with all the format changes.
2. When I change/edit an existing contact or add a new contact record via my 4S - Outlook will then show that record by last name, first name (all my settings in all devices are set to First Name, Last Name). This is getting really frustrating!
3. Contacts - following on from point 1. If I make a change to an existing contact the e-mail prefix (which I had to change manually to reflect home, work etc) reverts back to showing as "e-mail" rather than stating if it's actually the contact's home or work e-mail address!!?!.
4. I also have an iPad 2 but have not set up the iCloud just yet. To avoid the duplication and loss of contacts experience all over again. Can someone give some advice on how I can ensure iCloud is set up correctly so that my iPad 2, iPhone 4S and PC Laptop all sync via the iCloud without any issues?
5. How do I carry out out a software update on my iPhone 4S given that everything syncs through the iCloud i.e. no longer have to connect my 4S to the laptop? Does this happen automatically through iCloud? I was concerned about connecting my 4S via the USB lead to my laptop which would then start a sync process and possibly duplicating everything?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Nope, Thunderbird is a client program, so is your phone. Software that tries to sync clients invariably is the cause of drama because sync is truly very difficult to program successfully and free apps from phone vendors are not quality products and almost invariably support one program and one version of that program.
So using a third party server is the correct approach. If syncing Google contact to a phone causes issues, that is more than likely the sync software used not an inherent problem with the process.
If you do not wish to use Google your more than welcome to install and run your own ldap server to sync contact to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol

Outlook 2007 Calendar not syncing any more with Blackberry Bold

I am looking for possible causes to a problem that started some time over the last 2 weeks. My BB has been running 4.6.0.162 (put out by Rogers, my provider) and I'm using the 4.6 Desktop Manager.
Until then, whenever I'd sync my BB Bold with my Outlook 2007 Calendar (on Vista), everything (Calendar, Memo, Contacts & Tasks) would sync with no problems.
Since that time, (although I didn't realize it at first) calendar appointment items that were entered on one side would not be synced on the other side, i.e: BB calendar appointment items would stay on the BB, Outlook 2007 calendar appointment items would stay on the PC. Everything else syncs OK. In fact, new tasks that have a due date will be added to the other side's calendar with no problems!
I've tried different things, including rebooting both sides, deleting the calendar file on the BB, etc., but to no avail.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks.

how many calendars do you have on your device?

Startup Problems (and more) with my G5 PowerMac

OK, here goes...
This started this morning. I came into my office and found that my G5 had finished burning the DVD I had started last night before bed (some avi's in Toast, for what it's worth). Removed the DVD, shut down Toast and tried to drag the avi's to the trash. Instead of behaving normally, this (just to be clear, I mean dragging the avi's to the trash) restarted the dock and "disappeared" any open folders on the right side of the dock (as well as the open folder with the avi's on the desktop) All the folders opened back up on the desktop in a few seconds. I was able to send the other folders back to the dock, but any effort to put the avi's in the trash (one at a time or together, by dragging or right-clicking for the menu) repeated the same scenario.
Then tried to restart, which went normally until the blue bar (in the "Starting OSX window") reached the far right side. At this point, it just hung (although the blue bar still seemed to be "moving"). Tried several more times, same thing.
Then I tried resetting the SMU (unplugged it for half an hour. Didn't try the SMU reset button, as I believed that to be redundant, correct?) -- Nothing. Reset the PRAM -- Nothing.
I then tried an "Archive and Install" from my Tiger DVD. After it does it's thing (well, almost does it's thing - it doesn't finish), it has a "There were errors installing the software" message at the top of the installer window. So again, no luck.
Then I moved on to Disk Utilities and tried a Repair DisK. After writing "Overlapped Extent Allocation" (with a parenthetical file reference) about a thousand times, and "checking multi-linked files", as well as "checking catalog hierarchy" it quickly scrolls to a stop, showing "Volume Bit Map needs minor repair," "Invalid volume free block count," then "Volume Header needs minor repair," followed by 'repairing volume" and "The volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired." Finally, it says "Error: the underlying task reported failure on exit" (as well as some messages about "the (HFS) volume could not be repaired because of an error." The First Aid Failed window says that Disk Utility stopped repairing Macintosh HD because "the underlying task reported failure on exit." And that's all I could think to try.
So, any ideas on how to proceed?
I'll point out, just in case, that this was the original, pre-installed hard drive. I have another internal in there, as well as five externals.
Hoping someone can help, but dreading what I anticipate hearing.
TIA,
Warren

Karl,
This is just a note to say thanks for your help. I don't know if you'll read this, but I thought it would only be polite to make the effort.
In case you're interested, the drive is back up and working. Something you mentioned about using Tech Tool Pro (which I do have) to recover data, sparked a thought about another path to try before giving up and starting over with a clean install.
I went out and picked up a copy of DiskWarrior, and that did the trick. It was able to rebuild the directory, and from there I was able to successfully do an "Archive and Install" from my Tiger DVD. It seems most of the damage to the OS was minor, and it was just one or two of the overlapped files that were the culprits. There are a few minor things I'm still fixing: a few programs that had to be reinstalled, some drivers that needed replacing, fixing the settings for the network and one or two other minor things. However, weighing that against the idea of having to do everything over from scratch makes me feel like I got off very lightly indeed.
There are also a few other benefits that I've accrued: A new, bigger hard drive to use as my startup disc, so I don't have to struggle for space with the old 150GB one; a copy of DiskWarrior (an invaluable program, if there ever was one); and a renewed sense of urgency when it comes to maintaining my Macs. It's all to easy to become complacent when you're using a machine as stable as a Mac. And, also, a great reminder of how insidious the "creeping OS damage" can be. All-in-all,,,
So thanks again for your efforts. This wouldn't have had as happy an ending without your help. I hope you see this.

Please Help! Ipod syncing and copying with itunes but Ipod shows No Music

I don't know what I am doing wrong, I've got maybe 30 songs in Itunes, I connect the ipod, the ipod shows up in itunes. I have tried the following ways to get music from the library onto the pod
1. Right Click 'my pod' - select update songs
2. Top menu File - select songs on my pod
3. Right Click 'my pod' - select 'options' tick automatically update all songs,
4. As 3 but selected Manually update songs
In each instance the itunes thing goes through the motion of syncing, copying and updating etc
Then if you click on 'my pod' you can see in itunes all the music is there although you can not click on it or play it but the list is there.
However when I detached the pod it says No Music, No Playlists
Nothing
I checked the status and the ipod is empty
I don't know what else to do!!
Please can someone help
Many Thanks in advance

Your libarary doesn't just appear on any computer you sign into with your appleID. If your computers are on the same network, you can enable home sharing and access the other computer's library this way.

I'm thinking of quiting windows and go with linux

ubuntu is so much faster booting - and the c drive seems to struggle with vista

@beickus: I'm a Linux fan, but I have to say that Win 7 runs really nicely on my T400. Vista, not so much. Never thought I'd say something positive about a MS OS. I was forced to buy this thing with Vista on it. Grrr. Once I went to '7, I was much happier.
@warnec: Burn your Product Recovery Media before you do anything else. You may not want WinX on your machine, but the next owner might. You can make the recovery media now for the cost of a few pieces of plastic, or $$ later. Or you might want to take a walk on the dark side and give '7 a try...
@EVERYBODY: Burn your Product Recovery Media immediately on opening the box your new StinkPad came in. NOW! (and don't fidget when I'm yelling at you...)

Assuming you are using RedHat, if other search at rpmfind.net for your distro (if it's a RPM-based distro):
You need either:
