I-Phone @ Inaugural - AT&T Fails Again - Damaging Apple Brand Name

Once again AT&T let down i-Phone users. Terrible coverage across Washington DC while my Blackberry friends enjoyed great service.
We missed our ride at one point because AT&T system went down.
In the coat check line at one Inaugural Ball I overheard a group discussing going back to Blackberry. Too frustrated with AT&T's lack of coverage and poor service.
I have used Apple products since 1987. While I appreciate the i-Phones many features, the first mission of cellular phone is to connect callers.
AT&T is doing damage to the Apple Brand

The iPhone is a wonderful product tethered to a 2nd rate carrier.
What I heard at the Inaugural were iPhone users frustrated with AT&T and pondering returning to Verizon and Blackberry.
Calls to AT&T are a fruitless exercise. I am president of our local citizens association and have had to deal with all the carriers on various permitting matters. I have found AT&T the least responsive and T-Mobile the most responsive.
It would be much preferred if Apple could put pressure on AT&T about their service quality, or release us to use iPhones on competitive carriers.
This long-time Apple user is seriously considering moving back to Blackberry on Verizon because of AT&T's poor performance, not any deficiency with the iPhone or with Apple. And I will return to the iPhone when I can choose my carrier.

BlackBerry 8100 - Loading Software Fail Again and Again

Hi Dear BlackBerry 8100 Users.
      My history is very sad, because some days ago I try to load the software from version 4.5 using the application loader for my specific celular service provider, but The process fail again and again and again... My BlackBerry is dead..
      Well The problem with loader after the process of "LOAD JVM and System Software" after this step the loader goes to step named "Wait for device initialization" in this process the phone lost connection with PC and gain connection many times finally the winner is lost connections with PC and ofcourse the entire process fail with the first message "USB Device Not recognized" and finally with messages "Unable to complete the load operation" and entire process of loading system software stop and nothing.
    ¿Anybody has a possible solution for this problem or advices or procedures to follow?
Note: I configure the USB hub to avoid the process of saving power
Thanks in advance

Hello and welcome to the forums!
It sounds like maybe you computer isn't able to power the device when the process is "Waiting for device initialization". Are you using a laptop computer? Here are a few articles about USB connection issues.
Troubleshooting USB connections
A 507 error message appears on the BlackBerry smartphone while upgrading BlackBerry Device Software (see number 4)
And here is a post on the forums about how to use the Web-Based software loader to load your device software - I have had some success using this when other methods fail.
hope this helps

Here we go again,....iTunes update for Windows 7 fails again same problem as back in Feb update

Why is it that Apple is failing to get it right lately with their updates?
Tried to install latest iTunes for Windows update on my PC Win 7 and it fails again wioth same error messages as with the previous update in Febr.
Sooo very disappointed!!!!!
To go thru all this again is taking me a few hours again to fix this problem assuming it works again this time, maybe I should just give up on iTunes instead.
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
really *****,
NE1 have any suggestions for an easy fix?
thanks

First off the automatic install fails nothing happens.
Then tried the manual install after download, get the message that Apple mobile service failed to start and make sure i have required privileges to do so(Total BS)
the SetupAdmin.exe file does not provide any action.
Then right clicked the iTunes6464.msi file and installed it. Seems to install the update but when iTunes starts get the: "error 7" msg with iTunes helper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. then w're in that **** loop......LOL
I believe this is because I have a 4 yr old laptop with old graphic card.

I updated my 4s to IOS 8 and now it won't automatically connect with my Ford SYNC. I have to turn the phone off and then on again for it to connect.

I updated my 4s to IOS 8 and now it won't automatically connect with my Ford SYNC. I have to turn the phone off and then on again for it to connect.
Why is this? My husband's 4s is still on IOS7 and it still connects automatically.

I do not know if this will help.
For a limited time Apple will allow you to downgrade to 7.1.2. Hurry do not wait.

Operations Manager 2012 Reporting Service installation failed again

Hi dear guys.
i'm an administrator in a company. and our company decided to have monitoring tools for our servers located in two sites.
i started installation of SCOM in Two servers: 1- SQL server 2-Management server, Operations Console, Web Console
all MP's that needed has been installed and configuration completed successfully. then i decided to have Reporting Server too.i did proper tasks and started it with coordination of DBA team. but because of miss configuration in SSRS installing failed. after
repairing SSRS by them installation failed again but reporting Icon appeared in Management console
because of too many communication with DBA team, I installed a SQL server on a separate server(Full Featured) and configured SSRS too. and then started installing SCOM reporting on this server. but it again failed.

I wanted to send whole log but 60000 is maximum allowable character. here's some logs with error event:

Hard drive fails again

I have had 2 new hard drives put into my MacBook Pro ( mid 2012 ) since July this year but the third one has just failed again.
I collected my MacBook on Saturday ( 7th September ) and I didn't have it 24 hours before I saw the same problem happening again.
The machine will constantly beachball on me and then freeze up completely, I end up getting the folder with a question mark in it.
I'd tried to reinstall the OS but it cannot find a disk to install it onto.
Does anyone know what's causing this constant problem?
I'm getting really annoyed at having to bring it into compub for them to say they will replace the hard drive only for the same problem to napping again when I get it back.
Could it be something else in the MacBook that's causing this problem?
My mac has been out of it's 1 year warranty since the end of july but the new hard drive has a 90 warranty and under the European law I know that the machine has a 2 year warranty on it excluding certain parts ( hard drive, charger etc. )

Since you're having so many hard drive failures, your problem may be with the SATA cable used to connect the hard drive to the logic board.
If your last repair is still under warranty, I would return the machine to the Apple Store/AASP that completed the repair and ask them to check the SATA cable. While it may be that you're simply having 'bad luck' with drives, I suspect the cable with so many drive failures.

Logic Board Fails- again.

Hi everyone.
I have an iBook G3, purchased in Sept. of '03. The logic board crashed in Dec. of '04, and again in March of '05. Both times, I had the notebook sent in, and apple replaced the logic board free of charge, under the logic board replacement program.
Now, however, it has failed again. And, I'm getting a little fed up. I'm wondering what you think I should do- send it in for a 3rd replacement (which it's still under the 3 yr- policy until Sept), or try to fight for a replacement of the computer altogether. I'm afraid that if I get it replaced, it's just going to crash again outside of the 3 year plan, and then apple won't do anything. Should I attempt to demand a new machine now?
Times like these are soo frustrating. Mac's are great, but when they have problems, it's like the whole thing falls apart and there's never an easy tweak or fix.
Thanks for your opinions...
Melanie Patterson

I was kind of afraid of that. I'm not surprised.
When you get it back, avoid picking it up by the left front corner alone. If you're going to pick it up with one hand (as I usually do), pick it up in the center, under the trackpad.
The theory is that picking it up by the left front corner causes enough flex in the case that it puts pressure on the logic board and causes the solder on the graphics chip to let loose. So, if you can avoid doing that, it may help your iBook last longer.
Have you seen the new MacBooks (just announced yesterday)? Maybe your G3 will last you long enough to save up for one of those little sweet things. I'm looking at them longingly.

Make gcc fails (again)

after all the previous problems, make gc failed again because this comand
/cygdrive/c/crossbridge-master/sdk/usr/avm2-unknown-freebsd8/bin/ar rc ./libgcov.a libgcc/./_gcov.o libgcc/./_gcov_merg
ran for a short time and exited without producing the libgcov.a that was expected. the "ar" in question
seems to be running and accessing input file, but produces no output.

I also wanted to let you know, that I find it incredibly stupid, that cookies are hidden away in a tools menu; when most internet users would obviously prefer to be able to immediately see what cookies are being used, and could then just click and delete them immediately, without having to click 4 different buttons and then delete them. PLEASE MAKE THE COOKIES EASIER TO GET RID OF, BY SHOWING THEM IN THE BROWSER ALL THE TIME. thank you
