Feedback. Good but n so much

hallo,
i recently bought a Playbook and I updated the device to the latest OS. I would like to share my impression and feedback.
First the hardware looks pretty good: right size, right handling, the OS ist really smooth. The OS is really good as well: fast, simple, mail and calendar software are nice (especially compared to default software on Android). The web browser is good and i can see my podcast in Flash.
Many friends were imoressed and are ordering Playbook.
But there are some bad stuff. Please RIM listen and comments:
- the music player is "poor". I can not easily make playlist, ogg/vorbis are not supported, no cover search on Internet, no sleep time... Look at player like PowerAMP on Android. please, add at least ogg/vorbis, FLAC and sleep. Those feautres are dead easy to implement.
- USB OTG. Yes you cann. I used to play with QNX and i know it works. Allow to mount stick, to use keyboard and mice. Next step: allow developer to acces usb storage. I am a photograph: i want to control my dslr just like i do on Android. It. Is a super feature and make the Playbook better than the iPad on this point
- do a real dock with HDMI, charging, usb, audio, (and lan ?)
- make an even better browser
- supply a podcast application, an usable file manager,
- allow to put the device i sleep in x minutes
- allow to mount network share like nfs and samba. Here again i did myself on QNX as i worked on an embedded solution for a german company. You just have to unlock it. And yes itis a big selling point for home and business user.
As an example: you prepare your presentation on your deskop pc and store the file on the conpany network. Then use the playbook to show it into the meeting room.
Please user and BlackBerrys comments

We know USB OTG is possible but has not been written onto the OS.. Maybe it will be in BB10.

I spilled some pop on the back of my iPad. I cleaned it off and everything seems to be going good but when I play music it will either play with no sound or play then continue with no sound. What can I do to fix this (without being costly, it's a iPad 2)

I spilled some pop on the back of my iPad. I cleaned it off and everything seems to be going good but when I play music it will either play with no sound or play then continue with no sound. What can I do to fix this (without being costly, it's a iPad 2) this happens with other music apps too. Please I need help!

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists. If it doesn't work, there isn;t much anyone here can do for you. It may be a physical problem with your speakers.

I just bought the new HDMI cord for the IPad, it works good but a small potion of the TOP and the BOTTOM is cut off. It doesn't seem to do it for movies. My monitor is a 23 IN' acer s series.

My monitor is a 23 IN' acer s series. I just installed the drivers for my monitor with no change. I think I have a CD somewhere for my monitor maybe it has some kind of program in there that can help me. I can post a picture if I need to. Thanks

No work around that I know of.

IO7 in good, but the fine lines of the characters are a nuisance. Is there a way to convince Apple to offer a better style for aging persons with limited vision?

I turned on Bold Text - the phone will restart itself, that's normal - and it is now MUCH easier on my eyes.
Give it a try.

G60 214 upgraded to XP Pro SP2 all good but microphone not recording

Hi all,
just upgraded an HP G60-214 to XP Pro SP2 with much assistance from yourselves for which many thanks !
Getting the Conexant HD 221 sound to work was difficult but is now good but I'm having trouble getting the microphone to work.
Device manager shows an NVidia driver and says it's working properly but 'Sound Recorder' doesn't record anything and neither does Skype. The volume is set to maximum and it isn't muted.
Anyone got this to work under XP ?
Thanks for looking !

Hi
I have a similar problem.
If I use skype, or infact other programs, the microphone seems very unstable.
In most of my skype calls I loose the mic at some point or another. during these drops Skype warns me that the mic is very low, but I have not changed any settings. It seems that there is a problem with the integrated mic. Loose connection or something. This is not just with Skype but with other programs where I use the mic. However, there is no problem with hearing the other side of a call. Thus speaker is fine. Tired of this problem as I cant call without having problems. Please help.
thanks in advance.

Waiting for Tidbits and Elector to grace my post with there constant negativity and start a war of words as usual... since they love stirring the pot and angering the Windows Phone Community every time they reply to posts. I just can't believe they spend that much time here on the forums replying if they are not a paid Verizon employee or a paid basher from a competing platform.

Well I found nothing wrong in your post. So why even make a statement like the quote I included?
Once more I am a retired government employee. So I have the time to post. Or has my rights been taken away to voice an opinion?
Your posts was great you were not whining about your rights to file complaints to the FCC or FTC etc. One of the best I have read.
And I am not trying to sway you from your phone choice. If you looked at my avitar it shows apple iphones. But I use and have used androids and not Windows phones.
However your numbers of windows phone users all leaving over the issue is miniscule in the number of users of Android and iOS devices.
I have written many times I wish all the devices get updated like iOS devices do. But at present that is not happening
No bashing, no adversarial post just a little common sense is all I use.
And again your post was great.
Good Luck

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calles does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai and a Dodge rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2.

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calls does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai Sonata and a Dodge Dart rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2. It worked the first day i had the phone, and then i updated to Ios 8.0.2 and it quit working.
Now when i get in the car, it acts like it is connected and makes the same call it was on after syncing to bluetooth, but it really isn't on a call. This is happening on both cars.
Does anyone know if this is the phone and i need to take it to Apple or if there is an issue that Apple is working on getting a fix for?
My son in law has the exact same phone as me, we both got the on 10/6, he had a Dodge Dart and his is working via bluetooth.
Someone HELP please, as i consider this a safety issue by not having my calls go to bluetooth.

We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE! After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
Hope this helps!

I had to reinstall iTunes and lost the library, so I used what I had on my hard drive, but I have much more music on my iPod classic than is in the iTunes library. If I synch now will it delete all that extra music from my iPod?

I recently had to reinstall iTunes on my PC (Windows 7) and lost most of the library. I restored with what I had on my hard drive on the PC, but there is much more music on my iPod classic than is in the iTunes current library. I'm worried that if I synch now it will delete the extra music from my iPod, some of which I don't have available to re-rip etc.. Will this happen, or is it safe to synch more content without losing from the iPod what is already there but not in my iTunes library on the PC? Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:

Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your response
Let me give the history - I started with an Apple Express being fed thru a D-Link EBTR 2310 cable Router from an RCA DCM315 Modem (Pure). Comcast service all the way.
Got the 1st generation TC in 2008 and merely replaced the Airport Express with the TC. Worked ok
A year or two ago I did try removing the modem and feeding the TC directly from the modem. Resulted in the same condition I have now - Continuous flashing amber on the TC. So I put the router back in the chain.
Some time later, at the recommendation of a Comcast rep, I replaced the router with (a Belkin F5D 5231) to see if speed and dropout problems would be improved. I thought it helped some at the time but now I am not so sure.
Last week I decided to see if a new modem would help with download speeds. So I got another pure cable modem (Motorola SB 6121- high on the Comcast recommended list).
Got up and running easily with Comcast help and with the modem connected directly to a computer.
Next I put the TC in the link and again could not get past the TC continuing to flash amber. Although I did get connected to the internet with this configuration I lost connection two both of my printers - one connected by USB and the other wirelessly to the TC. Again everything works fine when I put the Belkin router back in the system.
However with the router in there, the modem shows the downstream connection to be 10/100 ethernet speed. (Modem light changes color for indicating speeds.}
I have gone thru all of the combinations of powering down/ up, but all stays the same.
I can live with what I have but something still doesn’t seem right.
Thanks again

Connection To Airport Extreme Good, But It No Longer Sees Internet?

I have my airport extreme daisy chained to my verizon wireless router with an Ethernet cable, and this has worked great until now. My verizon wireless router is still working and connected to the Internet, but my airport extreme no longer sees the Internet yet I am still able to connect to it with my Mac book.

When I connect wireless to the AE it shows a connection to it, but I am unable to access the Internet. When I connect wireless to my primary router I am able to access the Internet.
This is why I believe the AE is not connected to the Internet.
I tried the unplug for 15 minutes and plug it back in with no luck. I do have a green light on, I am showing a connection to it from the Mac book, but still no email no web surfing, no Internet. If I unplug the Ethernet cable from the back of the AE and connect it directly to my Mac book Internet works just fine. So the feed is good, but no wireless Internet coming from the AE.

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?

Here's an easy way:
Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
That should do it.

Please a simple problem but I don't know how to solve it. After installing 16 gb of ram all is good but when I turn on the computer it is a window signaling that all is correct. How is possible to delete once and for all that window? Thank you

Well then maybe you could take a screenshot because the appearance of such a window is news to me.
Also post your OS X version and what model Mac you have. The more detail, the better. Thanks.
To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse or trackpad. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
When you post your response, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the frontmost window.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.
Drag the screenshot to the Trash after you post your reply.

Trying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.

rying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

What EXACT version of Photoshop CS4 are you running? You should be on Photoshop CS4 v 11.0.2.
Also run Apple's software update to see whether it offers you the latest Epson update:
Printer Driver v9.33
Epson Stylus Pro 3880, Drivers & Downloads - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: have Photoshop re-create its own Preferences:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:
