Help choosing new phone please

hello people
Can i ask you for your recomendations on a new phone i have tryed a couple of upgrades now and sent them both back and im now tearing my hair out lol.
all i need is a phone that looks nice,
makes calls without turning itself off (n73 lol)
has a good camera,
and has operating system that is compatible with tomtom navigation 5.2 or 6
the two phones i had were 6280 lovely phone but cannot use tomtom on it
and n73 best phone yet but just couldnt answer calls without it rebooting
im on orange and wondered if all the probs i'd had with the n73 were due to orange. looking arround peoples comments on here i wasnt the only one the have the phone shutting down
is it all s60 phones that are un reliable?
Your comments will be greatfully read and hopefuly ill get to upgrade to a good phone.
oh sorry my current phone is 6280 running tomtom and doing what i want but its just getting a bit tired now
many thanks martin

According to the TomTom v6 compatibility list, the choices are the N80 or the E61.
I know nothing about the E61 (and I'm too lazy to look) except that it's aimed at business users so probably doesn't have all the consumer toys I'd want.
I had a really dire time for the first few months with N80, however the latest firmware release (v4) has turned it right around: now that things are working (for me) it's a pretty impressive phone. The only gripes I have are battery life, which is not great, but I've gotten used to and the camera, which is a little disappointing, though that could be because there is no lens cover and since the lens sits exactly where my fingers want to be, there's probably half a pound of finger grease distorting the images.
I'd be tempted to hang on until January and get the N95, however you just know that's going to take 6 months of pain before it's bedded down.

Need help choosing new laptop, please.

Hello,
I am in the market for a new laptop. My late 2008 MacBook Pro with C2D 2.66 GHz and 4 GB RAM. I think it is one its last leg and it is showing its age. In fact, I am really in fear that it will give out on me soon. It just shuts down randomly and I don't know how long it has left. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions on laptops.
Here are some of the things that I do, or that I will need a laptop to do for me:
Adobe Creative Cloud Applications (I am a web developer)
Act a media center when I am at home (XBMC, streaming all types of media files)
Budget: just around $600 - That is my limit, but if I can a way better deal, I am all for it.
I need it to be portable, that is why I am going with a laptop. I think that I want to give Windows 8.1 a go instead of OSX this time around.
I found a really good deal on this:
HP ENVY 15" 15-j173cl Notebook
AMD A-Series A10-5750M (2.50GHz)
12GB Memory 1TB HDD
15.6" Touchscreen
1920 x 1080 resolution
Windows 8 64-Bit
Price: $499
I am open to any suggestions. I just happen to have run across this one.
My concern is: Will this configuration be able to handle Adobe CC 2014? I am a web developer and I need Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver open and running at the same time, as well as multiple browsers and browser tabs at the same time. I am on a budget and this fits in my budget quite nicely.
I have heard and read bad things about HP, so I don't know if I should go with that brand. I have been reading that Lenovo or Asus is the way to go, but most of the laptops that I think I would need are out of my price range. And, I don't know if AMD CPUs will provide the power that I need, but then again I am just guessing because I don't really know. I have not owned an AMD product yet.
So, I am really stuck on what to do. Thank you in advance for any and all help, advice and suggestions.

You can look for DELL devices, but they seem to be less customisable.

By the way my 'veteran' tecra m-9 was originally equipped with of 3 Gb RAM, Core 2 Duo processor and Nvidia Quattro 130M card, not replaceble but really cool for work and some 3D modelling, even suited for gaming a bit.
For 2008 that was a strong warrior.

David {removed per forum guidelines}: need help regarding new phone

Hi everybody,
I am David {removed per forum guidelines}.I want to buy a new phone having latest features of business applications.There are many brands in the market. So I am confused .Will you guys please help me regarding this?
Thanking you.

David,
I have two smartphones for you to compare. Both are safe to use as a business tool. They are both very popular smartphones which is why they are my first suggestions to you.
Samsung - Galaxy S III 4G with 16GB Memory Mobile Phone - Marble White (T-Mobile)
Model: Samsung T999 Galaxy S III 16GB White | SKU: 5715328
Stay in contact on the go with this Samsung Galaxy S III mobile phone that features 4G speed for fast data transfer. The 8.0MP digital camera lets you capture crisp, clear photos. Requires a minimum $10/month Web access fee with all Classic voice plans. Early termination fees may apply.
4.8 Read reviews (5)
Sale: $699.99
The Samsung Galaxy S III is one of the newest Android phones and it's made a huge bang in the mobile phone market. Please note that the price with a contract is actually around $179 for this exact model. The prices are dramatically decreased when purchased with a 2-year service agreement.
The other phone I reccomend is the iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 will be unveiled tomorrow shortly after 10:30 AM PST and I cannot discuss the details of this phone until they are official. I do know that iOS is extremely secure, and there are many features that make this phone great for business and also leisure. One thing to consider is the huge difference between Android OS and iOS.
I hope this has given you something to think about. I'm off to bed now, but I will be back tomorrow to provide you details on the iPhone 5.

Help with new Podcast please..

I am trying to publish a new Podcast, but it has been rejected and I wondered if anyone can help me please - this is the message I received:
Dear Podcast Owner

I have validated my XML file and it passes fine, I can also insert the Podcast URL into iTunes and it downloads and plays the Podcast, so I am at a loss to work out where I'm going wrong..
When I sync with my iPhone, my Podcast is synced but I get an error message saying it couldn't be synced because it can't be found
Can anyone help please?

I don't have an iPhone to check this with: I asasume it's reading the feed directly? - so that the fact that it's not in the Store yet is immaterial.
The only thing I can think of is that the URL given in the feede for the episode file:
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/1mixRadioWeeklyTrancePodcast/~5/vb3F8uHaGX0/Cylen th_Vision_-_A_Vision_Of_Trance_01.mp3
redirects to the actual URL
http://podcast.1mix.co.uk:8080/podcast/Cylenth_Vision_-_A_Vision_Of_Trance_01.mp 3
and it may be that the iPhone won't handle the redirect. I can only suggest you ask in the iPhone Forum where someone may be able to check and advise.

Need Help With New Build, Please

Ok, built a new PC. Here are the parts:
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
XFX Geforce 6800GT
Seagate 160 Gig w/ NCQ
1 Gig (512x2) Corsair value memory 3200
PC Power and Cooling 470 Watt Silencer w/ Y PCI-express adapter
Athlon 3500+ (Clawhammer, says Newegg)
Lian-Li V-1100 (black)
My problem: 99.7% sure all cables are connected properly.
All lights and fans come on, drives open and close, but no video signal.
D-Bracket indicates the boot sequence is stuck on "processor initialization".
Things I've tried:
Swapped out the motherboard for an Asus A8N-SLI, same problem.
Reset CMOS on both: same problem, obviously not a motherboard issue.
Built w/ just CPU, GPU, and Memory on a towel, not a grounding issue.
Tried swapping out DIMMS one at a time in primary slot, same problem with both.
Yes, both 24-pin connectors and 12v 4-pin connector are hooked up.
Where I am now:
It's not the motherboard, or memory (unless both DIMMS are bad).
Based on the D-bracket LEDs, I assume it was the processor. I've sent the processor back to Newegg for a new one.
If that's not it, that leaves the PSU, the GPU, and/or the way I've got the y-adapter running to the GPU via two molex.
If the processor comes back and it doesn't work, I'll probably buy a cheap PCI card from newegg to see if it's a GPU problem. And/or I'll try a new PSU with a native 6-pin PCI-Express power connector.
Does anyone see any common compatibility problems with the K8N Neo4 Platinum and the parts I've selected, and/or does anyone have any other suggestions?
It's very depressing to have all this gear sitting around and be unable to power up Half-Life 2. :( Any help would be appreciated.

Quote from: tdho on 19-April-05, 05:06:22
Most likely RAM is your problem. Reset bios and try new memory.
Tom
Possible, but as mentioned, the LED bracket indicates it makes it completely through POST without the video-card, and I've tried alternating each DIMM, one at a time, in the primary slot. Unless both sticks are bad (wonder what the statistical chance of that is), it's not memory.
Though I'll try swapping out both as a last resort if the GPU switch doesn't work.

Help with unlocked phone please and thank you

I recently bought a used Iphone 3gs off of a friend who had it "unlocked" for a non- iphone carrier, any-who I just happend to use the carrier that the phone was originally locked for phone and would like to upgrade to ios5 I know that it will delete all of the hacks or what have you and I'm okay with that... I just need to know if this will mess with my sim or my data that's stored on the phone? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

So wouldyou recommend that I update? It was made for use with an att sim but was unlocked for use with a tmobile sim... I just so happen to have att. So the phone being locked for att wouldn't be a bother for me. I've just heard of people getting sim card read errors after updating, so I was wondering if I should even bother.

Expanding Clips on the Timeline - Help with new problem please.... (pic)

See pic below --- Never had this problem before. Any clip that is in my ongoing project won't expand more tha 1 second when trying to drag... what did i do wrong? It's doing this now in other projects as well....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/pengh/sdhsrjhj.jpg

Thanks ^ but I must not be explaining myself very well...
Images:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/pengh/expand.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v322/pengh/sdhsrjhj.jpg
Clifs:
* Any clip that is in my ongoing project won't expand more than 1 second when trying to expand/trim (using selection tool (V) making sure none other tracks are selected).
* I was able to trim/expand these clips before Wednesday (2 days ago).
* Only happens on other version of THIS project (previous saved/copy versions) -- all sequences, all clips.
* Thinking that this has something to do with the track selector tool. In my project, I was cutting/editing sections out (around 1:00 min in sizes) from the timeline and then using the track selector tool (A) to move the entire project (the clips that are in front of the section cut) back in place (1+ hours of edited clips). I did this at least 20 times - in 20 different areas of the timline (successfully) until the proble occured. Leading me to believe it has something to do with that.
Just throwing it out there that I know how to go back and forth between (A) and (V) and that I've been using premiere for 9 years (since 6.0) and I know most of the ins and outs.
Thanks for the help i apprecieate it.

Need Help Choosing a Phone... LG G2 VS Droid Maxx

I'm not a real technologically savvy person, but here is what I'm looking for/not looking for in a phone....
-Battery life isn't extremely important
-I don't have a camera, so my phone will serve as my camera
-I'd play a decent amount of games/use apps on it
-I've never really watched shows or anything, but I want something that's good for it
-Something that is quick when searching on the Internet
-Great call quality/reception is extremely important
-I'm going to have it in a case regardless of what phone I get, so durability isn't a HUGE concern
-I want something that's going to stay "up to date" 2 years from now
-Easy texting
Which phone would be best???

Also, I would put a lot of music on my phone.....

Help with new itunes please!

hi. I've just upgraded to the new 7.0 something itunes. It has only created album covers for my purchesed music, although many of my albums can be found in the music store. Would it be possible for to transfer the album covers over?
Ray

The program will not open and I get an error message of (-200).
the -200 indicates a broken QuickTime. (itunes needs a fully functional QuickTime in order to launch properly.)
let's try the following technique to replace your existing QuickTime.
go into your add/remove programs, select QuickTime, and then click "Remove".
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
after the computer has finished restarting, we'll try to get a fresh QT in there by doing a repair install of itunes.
go back to Add/Remove. select itunes, click "Change", and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through properly, restart the PC again, and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly this time?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can't link your Apple IDs, all you need to do is use the same ID on all devices and your contacts etc will sync.

I originally hooked my iphone to my cousins itunes/apple account and now want to hook to mine. But it says set up as new phone, if i choose this will everything on my phone be erased?

I originally hooked my iphone to my cousins itunes/apple account (on my computer). I did so because my computer wouldn't register with itunes (some software problem) so I couldn't hook it up. I've now fixed my computer and want to hook my iphone to my itunes/apple account however when I do it asks me to choose a new phone or restore from backup. Well it was never hooked up to this account so I need to choose new phone, if i do will everything on my phone be erased?

Hello there, pullmyhairout.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great guidance for backing up your iOS device to your computer:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iCloud or iTunes
Back up
To back up the content on your iOS device to iTunes on your computer:
Make sure your computer has the latest version of iTunes.
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Choose File > Devices > Back up.
If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click the device and choose Backup Now.
You can also back up by syncing your iOS device with your computer. When you use iTunes to sync, backing up is the first step.
To check that the backup finished successfully, open iTunes Preferences and select the Devices tab. You'll see the name of the device along with the date and time iTunes created the backup.
