IOS issues that may cause me to eventually switch...
I am frustrated by lack of configurability. for things like Maps problems, I'm ok. I know you'll fix it eventually. but I DON'T want to use gamecenter. why can't I turn it off?? also, the standard weather app *****, I don't want a VIP mail folder, and newsstand is useless. if I am going to continue buying apple products, I need to be able to disable these sorts of things from MY phone. thank you.
Thank you!
May be cause is Hynix memory.
I installed two modules by 4 Gb each (Hynix 4GB 2Rx8 PC3-10600S-9-10-F2).
Now, I want to change it to Crucial memory.

Indesign CS6 - 8.0 on iMac 10.9.1, a few issues that may be connected, Shutting down & PDF Issues
Indesign CS6 - 8.0 on iMac 10.9.1, I have a few issues that may be connected:
1. My computer shuts down goes to a black screen then restarts on its own.
2. My InDesign will crash when I am working and there doesn't seem to be a pattern it just happens sometimes.
3. I have an InDesign file that all of a sudden now takes 30-40mins to PDF 50 pages, I think there may be an issue with fonts but I am not sure, none of the other files take this long.Thank you so much for responding Bob, I tried to update but when I tired I get a message "Contact Administrator if you wish to apply updates on your machine, Updates have been suppressed by the administrator...". I actually have admin rights and I called in my IT guy, he could not get it to update. The Application Manager says I have all current updates. Am I suppoes to update using "AdobePatchInstaller"? Is there a manual way?

I have confirmed this is an AIR SDK 13.0.0.83 bug.
I have reported this bug to Adobe Bugbase, and I also included the workaround:

Simply comment the <externalSwfs> tag in your -app.xml will solve this bug, like this: <!-- <externalSwfs></externalSwfs> -->

New Issue that may be Spotlight related
Hello all.
In the past week I have been having a long delay whenever I do anything that may be spotlight related.
Here are a few examples...
If I try to upload an image, or any file, on any site, I can navigate to the image or file, but once I select the file, I get the fruity beach ball and it takes a few minutes before I can click the Choose button.
If I search my Address Book contacts for anything, I have the same delay.
If I attempt to attach a file to an email, same delay.
If I download a file, same delay.
If I search mail or anything in Spotlight, same delay.
I had a similar problem in the past, and it turned out to be a LaCie External Drive gone bad. This time, I turned off all external drives and I am still having the issue.
I recently upgraded to Suitcase Fusion and thought that may be the issue. I quit the application, still have the issue.
Anyone have a solution?
Thank you
for your time.
CoochOpen ActivityMonitor and look to see what is taking up the CPU.
If it's Spotlight related, you'll usually see a jump in mds or mdimport activity.
I think there were some issues with fonts choking Spotlight way back when.. So that may be an avenue worth looking into. -
APPLE resolve the issues that IOS4 causes iPod touch owners ASAP !
I remember there was a time we would say thank god at least there is one provider whose OS updates is not crap. Well guess what ? Apple proved they can ruin customers Ipod touches by bringing out the IOS 4.
Oh now don't get offensive that your iPod is ok and blah blah. Go read fourms filled with angry customers .
Now, Apple should sort this problems out ASAP !
What issues I have experienced ? Here is the list :
- High reduction in WiFi performance and connectivity
- Extreme reduction of battery life
- Huge amount of memory usage resulting in slow response and frequent crash of applications
Before the upgrade I never had any problems with my IPod touch and I am a geek so dont come and tell me : Have you cleared your Safari cache ?? and stuff like that !!
What else has left for us to enjoy from iPod ?
Someone from APPLY customer service get in touch with me and explain...
I want to go back to firmware 3.3 without going through dodgy ways ! Yea I am a paying customer and want to be treated as one !
Message was edited by: bennz10The WiFi issue I have no idea about.
But the reduction of battery life could be that you leave a bunch of apps running in the background with the multitasking feature, so when a bunch of different apps run at the same time all the time it could really drain your battery.
If you've ever gone to AppStore and updated your apps you can see below the title of an app it says the version number. Now that iOS 4.0 has been released the creators of the apps make updates to their apps so that they will be compaitable with iOS 4.0. When you update an app now you might see at the version number that it says iOS 4.0 in paranthesis. -
Would somebody please explain to me why I should have to PAY Apple Support to help me with an issue that THEY caused to begin with??? I still cannot connect to WiFi with my iPhone since the upgrade yesterday. Will they pay for my data overages??? I have tried every suggestion that has been on the Apple Forums...and none of them work. Then when I tried contacting Apple..I found out I have to PAY for their help. Are they kidding me??
But it's Apple's fault I'm having a problem...not mine. It's not right.

I just updated my iPad to IOS 7.02 and unfortunately can no longer sync with my MacBook running OS 10.5.8. I'm wary about updating to Lion as this may cause any number of apps on my Macbook not to work at all or malfunction. Also my MacBook is 5 years old, and I was thinking about purchasing a new computer. I would like to decide when rather than be forced though. Does anyone have any suggestions for a work around? At the moment I do not subscribe to the cloud, and it looks like that is the only way I can back up my iPad now.
Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard. -
Hi, face issue that can not activate iPhone but can log in iCloud web page with same Apple ID and Password after iPhone been update to IOS 8.1.2
Also in the iCloud 'Find my iPhone" , no Device been found.
Been raise this incident, got the Case ID and call to Apple Support but it seems like out of office hour
Need Help ThanksYes, able to make a call to Apple Support but in the end still keep on going to try the Apple ID and Password.
And it seems like the iPhone ID in this device been locked
May to know is that possible to ask the Apple Technician to unlocked the ID so i could activate the iPhone without log in any Apple ID? -
iPhone 4s will not boot after trying to install ios7 beta 4. Stops at apple logo with progress line under it. how can I reset it or get it back up to do a restore then try the iOS 7 beta 4 install again. Issue was probably caused by disconnection
Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer. As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum. Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
Thanks, and best of luck to you.

Does anyone else have Mountain lion stability issues that cause a crash once a week?
I have a mid-2011 27-inch iMac with 16GB ram and upgraded to Mountain lion as soon as it was available (like always for last 5 years); 8th Mac I've owned. Early on there were a few bugs and issues that I thought would go away just like previous upgrades. But it's been half a year now and I crash about every other day! This is by far the worst Apple OS change ever, from a stability perspective. What happens is I will do some mundane task (could be anything really) that will give be a spinning beach ball and then it gets worse. No programs respond and eventually the only thing to do is complete power off shutdown. What triggers this: clicking to open photo in Aperture, clicking a website icon in Safari, clicking upgrade software in App Store, running a backup with time machine, etc. etc. I can't detect any pattern as it's happened a lot. I'm a photographer so I spend more time in Aperture than most users and see a lot of crashes from there, but it's not just Aperture. This is getting to be like MS Windows. Apple - help! Please fix this OS before I have to buy a PC for better stability.
Here is from last boot yesterday morning:

Having issues with low memory that is causing some of my apps to crash, need help please !!!
Having issues with low memory that is causing some of my apps to crash, need help please !!!
Is the device actually showing low memory errors?
What is really occurring?
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried? -
I am having trouble connecting to internet with my iphone 5, Are there any issues with with iphone 5 that would cause this problem?
Perhaps something in Apple's support article on troubleshooting problems with WiFi connections will help:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Regards. -
We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this? We're running two Macs wirelessly with no problems. And the Wii did connect before the switch.
Hello and thanks for the reply. I gave this a try, turned off Airport on one of the computers and tried the Wii again. Still no connection. I should say that we're also running an old G4 (wired) off the Airport as well, with no problems. I've tried many things to make the Wii to work, including power cycling the Airport, turning off the security settings in the Airport, resetting the Airport to it's default and redoing the network, resetting the network setting on the Wii (several times), moved the Airport closer to the Wii, all with no luck. The Wii "sees" the Airport but won't connect to it. I'm at a loss for anything else to try, so any help is appreciated.

Z1 SD card issues..Often caused by FAKE SD cards, unbeknownst to the user and those trying to help?
Hi All...
Well for the last month or so Ive had problems with my 64 gb SD card..losing data, getting corrupt and requiring non stop formatting..until eventually it just died totally.
Of course, throughout all this I was searching various forums for fixes and reasons why...and as far as I could see it was the fault of the Z1 'killing' SD cards ( I tried the card in other peoples phones and it did not work either..so I assumed it had been corrupted BY the phone!......since it HAD worked perfectly when i first got it)...
Well...Once it finally died totally this week., I decided to send it back to Samsung for an RMA. The card I had was a good quality, 64gb Samsung Evo SDXC class 10...Bear in mind I purchased it from an Ebay seller that had 1000s of positive feedback (1 or 2 negs regards late postage only) and the card arrived in the post in packaging with hologram etc, and all appeared good quality....
Im actually pretty tech savvy..and indeed internet shopping savvy, and have never been ripped off or conned before.....I didnt buy a 64gb EVo that was ridiculously cheap or anything..I paid what they are worth (then about £27)
But Samsung took one look at it and informed me it was a fake...the issue I had come up against was that the card worked fine up until its ACTUAL (not listed) capacity was reached..which was 7 GIGS!!!..not 64!!!...it was at that point that it started corrupting files and failing in general....
Which in my case was a couple of weeks after installing it in my phone (and the day I got round to piling all my music on it!)......so I had a few weeks of actual use out of it while all seemd fine....enough time to leave positive feedback for the seller and all!.....DEVIOUS SWINES!!! : D.
Anyway,
Now Im wondering...since these symptoms (files vanishing, corrupting etc) have been talked about so many times on these forums and elsewhere...not only on the Xperia Z1, but on all phones and devices that use SD cards...I wonder just how many are REALLY down to fake SD cards.....They are VERY realistic looking fakes...they even work pretty well up to a point (though probs not as fast as a real class 10 if you were to actually test them)..
In future, when offering help to people with SD card issues..i think I will make an effort to ask them first about the provenance of their SD card, and maybe try and get images of it. (after the fact Ive found several websites that show the fake ones...I even found an image of the EXACT fake I have..same serial numbers, and same tiny printing error and all!....which was THIS site https://thecounterfeitreport.com/product/504/Samsung-micro-SDXC-Memory-Cards.html)
In all the threads I pored over, trying to find a fix for my SD card issues..I can not remember a single instance of someone asking if the card was definitely real or not..or anyone suspecting this to be the issue....(though Im sure there ARE, i didnt find one though..not that I would havee thought it was the case with mine,,,,since I had NO reason to think it WAS fake..what with the perfect packaging, and seller having no neg feedback after selling hundreds of them!).
Im not some sort of SD card expert..BUT I am pretty up to date with regards consumer tech.....and until Samsung revealed to me I had been conned...I had absolutely no INKLING that the cause of my issues wa a fake card...on no forums did anyone ask the person with the issue 'are you sure your card is real?'.....and I am really coming round to think that these fake cards are RIFE out there on the market....so realistic looking, package and all, that probably otherwise legitimate sellers are trading in them......the KILLER being the fact they do actually work...maybe for MONTHS if it takes you a while to reach its true capacity....and certainly long enough in many cases to mean the nefarious seller gets away scot free!
So watch out guys...I ceritanly will be in fuiture...Now I know that fake cards are a big thing.....its really easy to spot the fake ones (if the seller uses a REAL picture of the item on the listing!)...they are by no means identical to the real deal when you know what to look for (in the case of fake EVO 64gb like mine, just 'made in Taiwan' and the back being gloss black instead fo white, is enough to show it as fake.....but I did not know that at the time when an absolutely perfect lookng offical Samsung package turned up at my door!....
Anyone else have this yet? Im sure they have....also, anyone wonder now if the cause of their woes is a fake card? If you would like to post here, Im happy to have a look at it!
Thanks all!
(Here is my fake one for you all to see : D...apparently it is a VERY common fake....wish I had known! I also wish i still had the very realistic packaging too!)Well to be honest I wasnt aware of such things myself until I got stung.....or rather not aware that you could follow all the rules, and do everything right, like check for good feedback, (my seller had 1000s positve and 99% ratio....and not buy items that have a price that is 'too good to be true'...........and STILL get ripped off!
You live and you learn! Ive been shopping online for just about 10 years and this was the VERY FIRST time Ive had a problem of ANY kind!
I had gotten so confident shopping online, that I bought a pretty valuable watch online not a month ago..my first 'large' online purchase in fact.....a Casio GPW-1000 RAF edition... a quite rare '500 pieces in UK' item. Though it came from a large watch dealer, I realise now that it was still a risk (though I had the protection of paying by Credit Card..which I willl ALWAYS do from now on!)....as they may have sold a counterfiet item, and not actually realised it themselves...
Since I have had this experience of buying a counterfeit product,, I haev been reading into the phenomena..and it turns out that Casio G Shock watches (the type I spent a fari bit of money on...a legitimate one luckily!) are very heavily counterfeited...and are ALL OVER Ebay....who seems to do nothing about it!
I can understand (though not condone AT ALL) criminals counterfeiting a sought after watch design, or jewellery and things like that...because they have a market for them, in the shape of people that cant afford the real thing, and think its ok to buy a cheap and poor quality knock off, that only superficially appears to be real.......
...but I have to say its a big surprise to me that they would counterfeit something like an SD card, even if it is a quite highly regarded model.......and even go to such effort to copy the packaging perfectly......I think that the fact that so much effort went into faking a Samsung Evo 64gb sd card ..that it demonstrates that there are a LOT of them out there....hundreds of thousands for sure....but could there be millions?
Due to this prevelance, I think it might well be worth asking each person that comes on the forum with an SD card problem, in particular those with a'new' SD that is losing data, or needs to reformat all the time, or any of the 'giveaway' symptoms...to ask them for an image of the offending article as a starting point.....and to then compare it to images of the real ones that are online...
Im sure most of them will deny they own a fake....I certainly didnt think for one second my problems were due to a counterfeit card...as I said in my post...the first I knew of it was when Samsung themselves informed me!
Otherwise we end up going round in circles trying to 'fix the unfixable'..which is what happend to me : D
Anyway, I will keep an eye out for people on the forum, and a couple of other tech sites I frequent, and see if I can identify any more of these fakes, and hopefully can catch them soon enough that the customers can get their money back, since the problems often dont manifest themselves until the time for immediate refund is passed (once again, this happened to me, and Im having to claim through Paypal..though they are being very helpful...its only £22...but its the principle of the thing!)
Thanks all, and stay vigilant!
