Huge software headache, suggestions?

Hi,
am trying to install the software to properly use my IPS on a PC. Am encountering an error that prevents the installer from completing. The error reads as "String PRODUCT_NAME was not found in the string table." Has anyone ever encountered this error and how were they able to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm getting the same error message. Uninstalled explorer because I thought maybe I had the same problem you did and reinstalled, still no go....HELP!! I get that same error 3 times in a row. I got this shuffle as a gift and the person keeps asking me how I like it...GGGGGRRRR!!!!.... I get that error and then the object reference not set error when the install shuts down....I really need help here. I wouldn't give props to this at all and glad it wasn't my money that paid for it.

C3-01 software update suggestions

just a few simple (and a few not so simple) software update suggestions for the c3-01:
-allow to search for artists by typing in first letter of artist name in the music application. It allows this type of search for songs but not for artists, and if you have alot of music on your phone it is very annoying to have to scroll through the list everytime you want to change song.
-allow to type in numbers when typing text by pressing asterisk key or similar. This type of function was present on older phones but it doesnt appear to be on this phone. Instead you have to hold each number for a few seconds to type in a number in an sms message or on the internet and it greatly slows down typing speed which i was hoping to speed up by getting a touch and type phone. It kind of defeats the purpose!!!
-allow to choose shortcuts twice on homescreen. It seems kind of silly to not allow you to do this when its easily possible as i'd prefer more than 4 shortcuts on my homescreen.
-allow to change keypad lock settings. This is so simple and was available on older phones, why not include with this one??
-allow to skip tracks in music application by pressing keypad buttons (e.g. 4 and 6 or 1 and 2). This is particularly useful when phone is plugged into car radio and being able to skip between tracks by feeling for buttons rather than maybe having to look down to press touch screen buttons because you cant feel them, which is pretty dangerous when driving!
-the apps available in the Ovi store on the c3-01 is reeeaallly limited compared to android and apple stores. Please try n introduce more useful apps!!
-upgrade voice recorder. Im a musician and i and most other musicians usually find phone recorders very useful to record song ideas, riffs etc. However I find the voice recorder quality very poor. Im sure the phone microphone isnt that poor and sound quality can be improved with upgrade software. Please upgrade or introduce new sound recorder app on OVI. I suggest the "Tape-a-Talk Records" app which is currently available on the android app store. I found this app to greatly improve sound recording quality on my old HTC compared to the onboard sound recorder.
I love this phone but it would be great to see some improvements!
Thanks for your time and consideration.

I feel your pain.
I bought an unlocked C3-01 off amazon too, and have had no luck in v6.00 automatic updates or anything. Eventually I (UNADVISED!) updated it myself. You can find discussions online that tell you how to do it. People flash their own phones. The only reason I did so was because I was getting a terrible high pitched noise every 45 seconds or so on phone calls that was preventing me from using the phone -- several times I had a hard time hearing well after it would...go off? right in my ear. The phone was unusable, and using the headset didn't help either. I'm curious, does yours do the same?
I had a backup android phone that I could use in case I bricked mine, so taking all the risks in hand I flashed mine to v6.00 on my own. No more high pitched ear aches! AND it works tons better. I'm really impressed with 6.00. It turned my C3-01 from clutter in my drawer to my everyday phone.
It's too bad that nokia has kind of foresaken the US market when it comes to many cell phones. I am a die hard Nokia fan, so I'll keep buying unlocked Nokias, but still. I'd like to see SOME support for the US market that ISN'T smartphones, you know?

Can i use osx lion server as a server for my online forum business? if so, what else do i need to get up and running. i know i need forum software. any suggestions?

hello fellow apple lovers. I am in desperate need of advice. I am going to be starting an online forum business in the coming weeks. I was wondering if osx lion server would be able to function as my business server. I also need mac compatible forum software. Any suggestions? Thanks, Bryan

If you have to use old Digidesign now Avid stuff, try to get hold of a DIGI 003 or a MBox pro. The 002 really sounds horrific (no offense) and I doubt it will be of any use in ML, even the MBox pro sounds better……..
By the way, I thought that since ProTools 9 one could use any hardware of choice in combo. If you must use PTools, I would defiantly look for a more up to date hardware and Avid wouldn't be my first choice!
Have a nice day!

HT1338 i cant update my MAC OS X 10.5.8 to a new version. (Im trying to update my itunes software) any suggestions

i cant update my MAC OS X 10.5.8 to a new version. (Im trying to update my itunes software) any suggestions

HI, sadly 10.5.8 doesn't support the newest iTunes.
First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

Desktop Software Improvement Suggestions

Comments and suggestions about Desktop software v 4.5.0.81 (platform
2.7.0.78)
The Main Menu that pops up when launching the synchronization software shows icons for : Application Loader, Media, BackUp and Restore, Synchronize, Device Switch Wizard only.
The most obvious option, START SYCHRONIZATION isn't available. Since this option is not provided, the device automatically starts the synchronization process itself unless the "synchronize automatically" option is not checked. This is inconvenient because users may want to open the Desktop Software to perform other tasks while the device is connected, without starting synchronization.
Synchronization isn't really automatic when the device is connected because it is necessary to sit and watch it slog along as it processes and reads first from the device, then Outlook and so on. The process takes several minutes to complete, and the user is required to click ACCEPT at least four times until synchronization is complete.
Version 4.7 is advertised on your website, but my mobile carrier, T-Mobile does not yet show it as available. I hope that version 4.7 of the desktop software will allow scheduled synchronization to occur at a time the user determines, provided the device is connected. Version 4.7 should also allow the synchronization process to run from start to finish without manually accepting modifications at several intervals while the process is underway.A report allowing users to review (and perhaps modify) changes once synchronization is complete would be adequate, in my opinion.

1. Allow files you want to transfer to your device to simply be dragged and dropped onto the desktop manager.
2. Provide access to basic apps such as the Calendar at the desktop (hint: Palm had this figured out years ago.)

Best software/update suggestions for Flash design

We are interested in implementing flash into our web design, but I'm a little confused as to which product to
actually purchase/upgrade to in order to create and run it. We currently have CS2 and DreamweaverMX2004. Should we
purchase Adobe Flash, upgrade to CS4 which has some features in it, or upgrade to the latest DW? Any suggestions?

Im my opinion... In the long run I think you would be better off upgrading to the Creative Suite 4 Design Premium or Web Premium, depending on what other software you use. I would lean toward the Design Premium.

Looking for finance organizing software & scanner suggestions

I would like to organize piles of receipts (some wrinkled and faded) and would like to know if anyone has suggestions for quality/fast scanners and programs. Portability, speed and quality are at the top of my list. I have heard about NeatReceipts but do not know anyone using it so I don't know how quickly it scans ( i have a ton of receipts) and how well it works. I would also appreciate suggestions on finance and organizing software that helps prepare and keep you organized especially for tax time.
Thank you

I'm looking for a pro or semi pro cabinet layout software any suggestions?

I am a remodel contractor. I previously had PC's in the office and have converted to Mac. I cannot find decent cabinet layout software that is also Mac compatable. Any suggestions?

There are no layout programs, specifically, designed for OS X to deal with just kitchen cabinet layout work.
There are a few interior layout programs both 2D/3D as well as straight CAD type programs for doing both 2D and/or 3D layout work.
Here's a short list of all the top CAD programs for Mac OS X

Software & equipment suggestions

I have just been told that I need to turn in a list of software and equipment our school needs for *iTunes U* - +by the end of the day!+
I've seen several *iTunes U* sites (for example, Penn State) that talk about the software and equipment they recommend for creating content for *iTunes U*. I'd like to get suggestions from others.
What hardware are you using for audio? for video? for mobile recording of "man on the street" and other interviews?
What software do you use for editing the audio? the video?
Are you using *Podcast Producer* (part of *Leopard Server*)? If so, what hardware are you running the *Leopard Server* software on?
I need to submit my list by 5:00 today. I'll be checking back here throughout the day.
Thanks in advance.
--Don

Whoah, Don, the end of the day!? Well, time to crank up those typing fingers of mine!
Okay, first thing is that ... "in principle" ... you might not need to buy anything to implement iTunes U at your site. You might already have what you need. On the other hand, you might need to buy stuff ... it depends on what you have.
The main thing that you do in iTunes U is turn a user request at your site into something Apple can handle. Generally this is done through a portal website ... a website you run ... that can take a user login and turn it into what's called a "token string". You may already have such a website ... a website that users log into to get "stuff" at your site ... a website that understands your "system" of doing things. The site might be commercial (Blackboard, say) or it might be homebrew. But if you don't have the site, you'll need it. It can be simple ... OS X Server running Apache 2, or Linux plus Apache ... or even IIS running on Windows Server. You'll be writing some CGI ... so pick the environment you feel most comfortable in ... assuming your site does not dictate the portal.
Podcast Producer is a bit different. Podcast Producer is sort of orthogonal to iTunes U ... iTunes U is mostly about distributing content to students/whomever through the familiar iTunes U interface. Basically, when you buy into iTunes U, you're buying into the synergy that exists between iPods and iTunes and using it to your school's advantage. But Podcast Producer is all about creating podcasts and processing them in an automated way. For Podcast Producer, you do need hardware ... typically one computer (a Mac mini makes for a good one) per classrom/lecture hall/other place ... and a bunch of servers/storage devices to do the podcast production. What you need depends utterly on the scope of your project. To do a pilot ... a proof of concept ... I'd get two Mac minis, two DV cameras, one OS X Server ... maybe a SAN to go with. The SAN is kind of optional for a pilot ... but the minimum you've gotta have for Podcast Producer is an OS X Server.
In addition, depending on the scope of your project, you might want to consider getting good microphones ... maybe some production software ... Camtasia, ScreenFlow, editing tools ... but this is strictly optional.
A "minimum" deployment of iTunes U (assuming you don't have a portal server) is some kind of web server ... let's say XServe running OS X ... and a good amount of your time and effort.
A "minimum" deployment of Podcast Producer would be one or two Mac minis ... maybe two DV cameras ... one OS X Server (XServe) with an optional SAN attached.

IPod Touch software update suggestions - Attention Apple Development!

Maybe this has occurred to you folks at Apple, but how about an iPod Touch software update that allows the user to create 'folders' to organize YouTube bookmarks? Even better, a way to do this in the sync-page of iTunes as well. And another suggestion - a way to select which Safari bookmarks are synched; better yet which browser to sync (Safari, Firefox, etc. - can't do this on the Mac as far as I can tell).

Antivirus Software - any suggestions?

Hello
I have a MacBook Pro 10.4.11 which I think may have a virus (someone told me that when I recently sent them an email, when they opened the email a virus started to download. And I get fireworks or UFOs appearing on the screen sometimes!?)
Can anyone suggest the best antivirus software for my Mac please?!
Thanks, Anna

Also, if you are thinking about installing a anti-virus program on your mac you should check out an article that resurfaced from a year or two ago.http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/12/01/applenow_encourages_antivirus_use_for_mac_osx.html
Apple recommends the following antivirus software programs:Intego's VirusBarrier X5, McAfee's VirusScan for Mac, and Symantec's Norton Anti-Virus 11
With a PC I have run Norton and McAfee and found both to take up a lot of system resources.

Nokia N8 software update suggestions

Okay guys. So the N8 is out in most places.
I am waiting for Australia to get it, so I don't have mine yet, but from all the reviews i've seen (countless) there are a few things that I already know I would like them to implement in future firmwares.
1) Portrait QWERTY for text input. Includes SMS/MMS messaging aswell as general text entry.
2) Improve the responsiveness when swiping through home screens. It should be instant, without the 1 second lag.
3) Improve the responsiveness of the pinch-zoom on the photo viewer.
4) Better integration with social networks, including the ability to upload photos and videos directly from the phone, without the added need of an ovi application.
5) Better more fluent web browser, instead of the outdated clunky one currently being used.
6) More fluent ovi maps touch navigation
7) S^4 will be released in the near future, I would like the ability to upgrade the OS to S^4.
Thats what I think so far, I think these features are a must have, I will add more in the future, you guys add what you think too.

Hi, I have just got my n8 and i think in the next software update they should fix the wifi problem. I disconnect the wifi and switch off the search for available wlan but it reconnects by itself and drains the battery. Also when i want to use wifi only my N8 says connected to virgin internet. I should be able to put the phone in offline mode and still be able to use the internet with wifi just like most android phones.
When you want to use WiFi only, have you ensured that you have set the connection priority in "Destinations". I had to set my home wireless as first, work WiFi as second, then Virgin Internet (or whatever your internet data provider is) to last.
Destinations is well hidden on S^3 devices, so you go to Menu Button > Settings > Connectivity > Settings > Destinations > Internet. Then press-hold each connection to set it's priority in the list.
Hope it helps you out blitzu.

Decent blu-ray authoring software - any suggestions?

Hi
I recently moved from PC to MAC and changed from Adobe to Final Cut Pro. I have no problems with authoring to DVD but I am struggling to see how I am going to do decent blu-ray authoring on MAC. Reason being is I have a number of clients that want both DVD and Blu-ray and I like to create interesting menus with background music. I am relatively happy with iDVD and DVD SP (which of course are not blu-ray compatible so no good to me) and I have just purchased Toast Titanium Pro and discovered you can not add music to the menu or do much else so it feels like a waste of money - any suggestions for good alternatives would be appreciated.
Thanks
