I have Iconia Tab A500, running 3.0, need help updating using microsd card, got Acer update download
I have Iconia Tab A500 running 3.0, need help updating, I downloaded all updaes list in the acer supprt, all versions, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and 4.something, I read on the acer support somewhere I can use a microsd card to update my device, because acer no longer provides automatically, when i try it says "poor network connection, move to anthoer location.", Do I need to update all the listed updates, or can i only update, using the 4. 0? to get the last known update. I also downloaded, "Documents, Apllications, Drivers, Patches, and O.S..... How do i intsall all these updates, I think am running the very lowest version available, Please Help me... Thank you in advance.
the update listed on the acer website, that mentions the a500 update is 'kernal source code (for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich) it's 96.7MB's released 2012/05/08' is that the right one i need? There is also a list of 3 O.S updates, released in 2014/09/05, 391.5MB's, 394.3MB's, and 391.5MB's large, what are those updates, I clicked the model and followed the directions that the acer website asks, and i ended with a list of update released in 2014/09/05, and a Document update released in 2014/12/17, 112.7KB's large, list of updates reased in 2014/.... and in the Android 4.0 culumn, there is an update that says O.S update released in 2014/09/05, 434.2MB's large, and a Patch Update, that was released in 2013/03/21, what are these updates? listedin the aver website... http://www.acer.ca/ac/en/CA/content/drivers

Cannot transfer from ADE to Acer Iconia Tab a500
I have used my Adobe ID and password and installed ADE on my pc (XP), but ADE does not recognize my Acer Iconia Tab a500, which is listed as a supported device. I have registered the Iconia tab and also authorized it with the same Adobe ID and password. The installation instructions tell me that my e-reader device will appear as a new bookshelf in the library when the device is connected to my pc, but it does not, so I am unable to transfer from my pc to the e-reader. Any ideas?
I just got an Acer Iconia A500 for Christmas and was going through the same problems as "cantreadit". Since I'm not the most technically advanced person in the world (I'm an old fart in his 60's), I was panicking about not being able to use this part of my tablets capabilities, and started looking for a cure on the internet (Acer was almost no help). I couldn't get past the sign-on to Adobe ADE, and always got an error message. I saw a comment about a "time-expired" error being caused by the tablet and the computer mot having the same time shown, but my tablet was the exact time as my computer. When I went a little deeper, I found that my tablet didn't have the "TIME ZONE" marked correctly (mine was set off of GMT, the default). When I tethered my tablet and computer together and had both open to the time I reset my tablets time (the tablet doesn't set to the second, so I waited until the computers second hand got to the exact minute and clicked on the tablets clock - I don't know if you need to get that exact, but....). When I went to my tablet and signed in, this time my authorization was accepted.
Note: Adobe ADE still doesn't show my tablet as connected, and I can't download from Adobe directly, but (being an "old fart") I always save my books first to a folder on my computer before opening them to ADE. When I went to my tethered tablet and copied the folder with (the DRM protected) e-books on my SD card, then went to LumiRead, then settings, then to "manage my book folders" and added that folder to the folders that LumiRead looks at, ALL the books were there and readable. Saving the books to a folder first (which my Techno-Geek" son and son-in-law said was un-necessary) seems to have worked out good for me.
My last concern is that I don't know if Overdrive will also "see" the ADE authorization and let me download books from my local library on line (which I use a lot for my dedicated e-reader), but I'm going to check that out later today (here's hoping that works too).
This may not be the same problem that the rest of you have been facing (my problem may have been too simple for the rest of you guys to miss), and it may not be the complete cure (I still have the Library & Overdrive to checkout). Also, the rest of you may have trusted the system to work properly, and not "stupidly" saved the books you bought to a folder on your computer (like a skeptical "old fart" like me would do), but for the other "Old Farts" out there, this may be the cure your looking for (no matter how simple it may be). -
Acer Iconia Tab A500 and UMW190 USB Modem?
Can the UMW190 USB modem be used with the Acer Iconia Tab A500, or is this tablet supposed to be compatible with Verizon 3G/4G?
I'm sorry but the Acer Iconia Tab A500 is not supported by Verizon Wireless. This tablet is not one of our devices.
Thanks very much for your posting! -
How do I remove a credit/debit card from my account? I ask because I currently have a VISA gift/debit card with 50 dollars on it, but the money has run out so I want to usea new card. Also, there is no 'None' check option for payment type on my account.
Depending on how you created your account, "None" may or may not be an option. I believe it has something to do with whether the account was made through an App Store request or the regular iTunes Store. For example, my account allows no card but my father's doesn't allow there to be no card.
To change the card, go to your account settings and change the information to your new card, and hit save. -
I have an iPhone 5 running IOS 6.1.4 and I don't want to update to IOS 7 because I don't like it. Can I download the security fix 6.1.6 or am I now going to have to go with 7.0.6 for this phone?
This was my question exactly. Thanks for getting to the answer even though it's not what I wanted to hear. When I tried calling Apple earlier today to get an answer, I was unceremoniously disconnected twice while on hold for several minutes.

most of App free for my Mac air appear to my in topic free but i have to paid to get it i need help ?
The Apple apps that appear in the Free app section are not normally free and they are free only to people who qualify. To qualify you must have bought a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. Or you must have the older version of these apps on your Mac when you upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9, after which you get the Mavericks versions for free.
If you qualify for free apps the Buy button sats free. If the Buy button has a price, you do not qualify for these apps for free. -
i have printers at home and work. i need help programing my macbook print utility so computer knows which printer to use depending on where i am. thanks
Look for cloud solutions such as DropBox, OneDrive, SugarSync or others. They are all cloud based services that sync documents between computers via the cloud. Of course another solution is simply a flash drive formatted in exFat so that Macs and Windows computers can read it.

How to unbrick Iconia tab A500
On power up I get just the Acer logo. There is a post from 2013 that describes how to unbrick but the instructions don't work. It suggests going to the site that lets you download Acer drivers and manuals, viz http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers#_ga=1.181574820.267539145.1417479834. This should give a zip file that contains 'update.zip' but it doesn't; it contains a file with a name that ends 'Driver Setup.exe' and I don't think that is what I want. The site address has 'US' in it so I looked for the corresponding UK source for drivers and manuals which is http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/drivers and I then typed in my SNID and selected the OS Android 3.2 Honeycomb (ice cream is 'not available' and I can always upgrade later). The zip file that results contains the two files H_A31H_A32H_A500_A501/1.inf and
USB_Acer_1.00.0524_A30H_A31H_A32H_A500_A501/ICONIA TAB USB Driver Setup.exeand again this doesn't look right (the 1.inf file is all about Windows). I have not tried running this because it is not 'update.zip' and I'm afraid it will install Windows instead. . I need the file update.zip. Can someone please tell me where to find it? Or any other way of unbricking an Iconia A500.Hello Ironfly. Thank you for your comment. I have tried a factory reset, if you mean that game with the volume button. If I hold down Volume- and press power on I get the Acer logo for ever and if I hold down Volume+ I get the dead Android. You say that to get the file update.zip I should click on the OS tab but where is this? Do you mean in the Drivers and Manuals page? I did that and selected Honeycomb 3.2 which was the OS installed on the tablet when new. I should be delighted to hear any other ideas about how to get a file update.zip and not some Windows substitute.

I have a new iMac running OS 10.9. When I use the Command S shortcut in any of my apps (numbers, text edit etc), it no longer saves the active document it speaks it instead. How can I revert to the save shortcut function?
have you looked in
system preference->Dictiation & speech if it's assigned there?
or system preference->accessibility if it's assigned there? -
Major Problem Here! I have no idea what to do and need help with OSX
Hello all, thanks for viewing my topic.
First of all, I have OSX 10.2.8
I just got a christmas gift - an Ipod Nano
I went into my Itunes only to find out that I need Itunes 7.0, but when I went to download it from the site, after running the install, it said I needed OSX 10.3.4
So, I looked over and over for 10.3.4 only finding I needed 10.3 to run that
So basically, i'm stuck here. Can I not use my Christmas gift? What do I have to do to get either the newest version of OSX to work with Itunes, or get my new Ipod 4G nano to work with my Itunes. Either solution would be great.
ThanksWelcome To Discussions CJAAA!
Some additional information.
Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
The point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.8 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
The discs must look exactly like the images in the above links.
Additional info in these links.

Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that.
And then use the PPC 10.4.8 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.

i need safari on my ipod i had it now it is gone and it is really annoying i cannot download some apps all because of an ios thing i would appreciate it if i could get ios 7 so someone please help me
You may have to consider, if possible, a visit to an Apple Store with Genius
bar. Usually it's best to try & set an appointment. If you know an actual Store
you may call and ask if they can help you set a time to discuss this issue so
as to save you some trouble with using the online Genius bar scheduling.
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Visit an Apple Retail Store

The iPod Touch you have may not accept the latest iOS8.x system, so if you
have older marginal Apps, they would not work and may not have equal or
similar replacements under the latest iOS version. iOS7 may not be available
and if you should upgrade to iOS8, you probably won't be able to revert back.
After looking around Support online, I do not see a method of restoring Safari
but your device may have one built-in to it; perhaps part of a reset process.
I am not certain... There are some items you may have to attach the Touch to
a computer and use it to see about updates or replacement software.
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
To ask a knowledgeable product specialist, and have the iPod Touch model
and serial number handy, may be the best way to go. Expect that with any
upgrade to a newer iOS system software, old apps won't work and new ones
that could be available, may not look, feel or act in the same way as old ones.
Good luck & happy computing! -
ok guys i need help anyone with my ipod it froze during an update now it will not work at all i ahve put it into the recovery mode or dfu and it will not reset it self it comes up with an error message 1603 the number is and says the ipod cannot be reset anyone please help me i have tryed everything googled you tubed everything
Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Error 1603
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. -
