IOS4 Discovered Bugs

I am dedicating this post on iOS4 bugs, so Apple would get the chance to fix all of them. Now, here is what I found.
1- Deleting a photo from the Photo App leaves a black blank box.
2- Some albums had black blank boxes already when synced.
3- There's something off about zooming into webpages. I like the fact that it's faster than what it used to be, but there's something off about it.
4- The Cellular Data Network Details is lost when upgraded to iOS4. Also, after typing in all the details and rebooting. All details were lost and I had to do it all over again. At the 2nd time, it worked. This has happened to many people I know.
I'll update when I notice anymore "rough edges"

The "black box" issue appears to be part of a larger problem of the Photo app not updating itself after a sync, because it is still open under the new multitasking setup in iOS 4. Right now, the simplest solution is to either restart the phone, or quit and restart the Photo app. At that point all the black boxes should go away and all the pictures should be on your phone and display correctly.
This is a minor bug that Apple should be able to fix quickly.
What exactly do you mean by "there is something off about zooming into web pages?"

  • IOS4  - bluetooth  bug.

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone3G and I have successfully installed OS4. All works fine except fro the bluetooth: Now the name printed the car display are random char string. This is certainty a bug of the new iOS4 ... all worked with OS 3.1.3 ...

    I've had the same issue. iPhone 3GS previously worked flawlessly but would not maintain a bluetooth connection via the Ford Sync system after upgrading to 4.0. It could sometimes pair and connect and on one occasion I successfully spoke for about 5 seconds via bluetooth, but otherwise completely fails to be functional.
    AppleInsider reports that an updated iOS is being developed (4.0.1) for release early next week that addresses several radio and signal issues in 4.0.

  • IOS4 software bug #2 - Joining WIFI networks disables 3G

    I would best explain this software bug as the iPad Wifi issue in reverse! The iPhone 3GS forgets how to reconnect to the 3G network after joining Wi-Fi.
    In my case the 3G issues occur when wifi networks are in range and Ask to Join Networks is set to ON.
    This procedure seems to help me have a fairly reliable 3G reception:
    1) Keep Settings/Wi-Fi/Ask to Join Networks/OFF.
    2) I also found that turning Wi-Fi OFF when leaving my house, seems to reduce 3G issues on the road.
    3) If a 3G issue occurs anyways with the above settings, turning off the phone for a minute will resolve the issue again. Sometimes it may still be necessary to Reset Network Settings
    Regards

    i am having similar probs....
    I am hoping someone here can help me. I'm not a wiz with technology but here goes. I bought my iphone3g a month ago. It never seemed to connect to the wifi i searched on here and someone posted a message about putting a number thread on the dns bit of wi fi details it was fantastic worked great I was very happy. The problem has evolved after 2.0.2 update. Or at least I think that is why it's happened. Now my phone will not connect to my wi fi at home (it's a bt voyager 2500v-3b model). under wi fi settings the voyager is there with a tick next to it.Wi fi is on. In settings-general-network it is there. But my wifi will not work. the signal for it does not show up on my phone. The wifi is working because I'm using right now on my laptop) I've tried turning airplane mode on and off...turning phone on and off...iphone restore...i've tried 'forget this network' and starting again but nothing!! When i use safari it seems to be really slow but thats because the phone is using the (not edge/3g..the other one sorry cant remember its name) network. Is this a 2.0.2 issue? it worked brilliantly before i wish i had never updated new version. PLease if anyone could help me. I loved my i phone before its capabilities were great.. but now it doesn't do what i loved about it.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks from a disheartened iphone lover

  • IOS4 software bug #1 - Passcode Lock

    DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS PROCEDURE UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO RESTORE YOUR PHONE.
    After selecting Settings/General/Reset/Reset all Settings,
    if you go to Passcode lock/Require Passcode it will no longer offer longer time delays.
    Only one option will be available: "IMMEDIATELY"
    Only a full RESTORE will bring back all the other options
    Regards

    Okay heres the solution or at least for the time being.Go to settings under general then date and time. Turn set automatically to off and pick the city closest to you obviously. This will solve the issue. I live in Baltimore and work in d.c. and i have noticed the problem only occurs for me in the northern va and d.c. area. So the problem is not the phone it is the time signal it is receiving that is causing a conflict. The phone thinks that it has been on standby for a hour due to some sort of conflict in the signal.Its possible the phone may have a bug that causes it to do this but since it started after daylight savings time update im guessing its the signal. Plus it only happens in certain regions. I hope this helps

  • N78 v20.149 Bug List Thread

    Hi everyone, thanks for all your advice and comments now that v20.149 has been released here (only on FOTA and not NSU yet) are the changes I have noticed, along with some newly discovered bugs:
    NOTE: all the documented features/improvements are performed with the Theme Effects turned on.
    Changes/Improvements/New features I have noticed from v12.046 to v20.149:
    Standby screen:
    *While scanning for wireless networks in the home screen, instead of saying “No networks found” as in the past, it says “No WLANs available”, also some other minor name changes in this menu.
    *Share online icon in standby screen seems to be different
    *When going back to the music player via the standby screen, it goes straight into the player without a fading in/out transition as it did before when Theme Effects are turned on (an instantaneous response). However, for going into other sections from the standby screen the fade in/out transition still occurs.
    *When Music Player is operating, and seeing the track name on the screen, and then when one song ends and goes to the next track, the speed at which this happens is much improved although not flawless (there is still some lag).
    *Scrolling up and down through the entries in the standby screen is very fast and not slow like before.
    Call log, Contacts and calling function:
    *Calling speed (from standby screen to Contacts or Call Log) and transition to call/disconnected screens much faster and improved
    *Faster resume of music playback after call is ended
    *Volume bar is changed from ten dotted increment to continuous coloured volume triangle (this has also been reflected in other menus and options throughout the phone)
    Maps:
    *Maps updated to version 2.0
    Music Player:
    *Much faster interface and speed through all menus
    *Pressing volume keys is much improved and faster and more accurate response than before (where it may have taken time in the past for the volume level to update)
    *Music controls (i.e. Rewind, Fast forward, play/pause, stop) are no longer the same colour as the matching theme, now it is just the same light green colour across all themes
    *Visualisations are still a bit slow, but faster than before
    Photos:
    *Transition into the Photos application is much faster than before
    *Scrolling through photos and videos and the like is still jerky and thumbnails still take a while to be updated from pixelated to clear thumbnails
    Settings:
    *In Themes, there is a new theme called Music (very yucky looking I must admit)
    *Power saver now includes “Now playing” option, so when the backlight goes off, the currently playing song and time are displayed on the screen for a number of seconds before disappearing. This occurs before keypad lock is activated, and when any key is pressed, the names of the song light up (in green or red). Also when going from one track to the next while this screensaver is activated, the date is displayed briefly.
    Other:
    *General speed improvements across all menus and applications
    *Help function is much faster and speed improved
    *New help topics added to Help function
    *Speed dial now works without any lag
    *New RealPlayer interface and version updated (where the RealPlayer screen is no longer displayed but grey bars on top and bottom of the video)
    *About application has been updated for the year dates so that they are all “2009”.
    *Installation of applications and refresh of available applications within the Application Manager is much improved and faster (although icons for installed applications are now not displayed)
    *”Application update” added to Applications
    *Carousel menu has new options under each heading
    *Navi-wheel seems to have been tweaked a bit more
    *Background light settings actually work now
    *Truncated email-account login name fixed
    Other documented changes that have been stated by others for v13.052 and now v20.149:
    *Improvements:
    Connectivity:
    - System Error message appears when trying to stream a clip from a busy server
    - Timestamp corruption error in long streaming which leads to 'Error in receiving live
    content'
    -VPN not working through WLAN in offline mode
    - Priorities of protected IAPs could not be changed via UI
    - Mail For Exchange did not play tone for every mail received as per S60 3.0 and 3.1
    products
    - DM settings were not generated automatically when Email settings are defined in variant
    Photos:
    - Thumbnail displayed does not match actual image if user deletes thumbnail file in
    memory card private folder
    Internet:
    - UI issues when viewing Youtube videos
    Music:
    - Playing WMA audio files improved
    - IHF cannot be enabled during call when FMT is on

    I have yet to check all the bugs that were documented for v12.046 in the thread /discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&thread.id=42047&page=4, but I will go about that very soon and document all the changes here in this thread. But so far, so good, the firmware appears to be a lot better and more stable than 12.046. Again, thanks to all users for their current feedback on problems. Remember to be sure to add your experiences with the N78 here!

    My n78 froze at the standby screen when it rebooted itself during the upgrade from v12 to v20.149. The background image and active standby icons appeared, but nothing else - no network provider name, no battery or signal level indicator, no clock, no calender entries, no wlan scanning, no share online. I left it for 15 minutes or so before crossing my fingers and removing and replacing the battery (since the power button did nothing). Not a great start I thought. But it started up ok.
    new/unfixed bugs
    The clock alarm did not switch the phone back on after the first 5 minute snooze, but it did do the snooze resume thing when I actually switched the phone on 15 minutes later... I setup a "within 24 hours" alarm and that had no problems switching on the phone several times with a 1 minute snooze so I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to see if my weekday alarm snoozes properly now...
    The FM transmitter was transmitting at 107.5 even though the settings screen and active standby message showed 106.9 which I had set it to before the update... Viewing and saving the fm transmitter settings did update the frequency to 106.9 though.
    I'm still unable to set default numbers for some contacts - the contacts app exits to the standby screen.
    Unable to zoom camera/photos when musicplayer and fm transmitter activated.
    improvements
    At least the loudspeaker function works after using the FM transmitter now.
    Playback of videos through the images app seems much improved - i.e. it actually plays video clips all the way through without freezing the picture.
    I'll post more if I notice anything

  • Has anyone seen this BUG with Time Warp and Dissolve?

    I'm doing some real basic slow-mo clips, transitioning with various dissolve wipes. I've come across a problem that is extreemly frustrating! I'm wondering if anyone has insight on a fix or if Adobe does service packs or fixes that I might be able to install.
    If you put two clips adjacent to each other on a timeline, apply time warp, set percentage to say 30% of realtime, then apply a dissolve between the clips, clip B, the outclip will play in reverse for a period equal to about 1/3 of the duration of the clip.
    This is true scrubbing through the timeline and even rendering.
    VERY ANNOYING!
    I'm going to call support tomorrow, but that's not going to help me get my project finished any sooner since this is a critical element in this composition. I've tried the time remapping method, but the frame-blend is no match for the pixel motion of time warp.

    Steve,
    I think your post #11 was being sarcastic, but you left a little wiggle room for it not to be. With the sarcastic interpretation, I must add my thoughts:
    Here is the link to the Adobe bug report form
    . It is important that users who discover bugs with reproducible steps file them - otherwise they don't stand a chance of ever getting fixed. Steven Gotz's advice was sound in this regard.
    As to the discussion of workarounds - since this is a User-to-User forum, the best that we as a community can do is help each other out with workarounds, since none of us here have the power to actually fix anything.
    The important thing to glean from SG's post is the definite need to file a bug report.

  • Please Fix This Bug - Mac Version CS4

    Mac OS 10.6.3 (bug has been around a while)
    Mac Pro
    Flash CS4 10.0.2.566
    Open up Flash using the Designer workspace (it can be any workspace, though).
    Now select Import so the OS X file dialog appears. Drag the dialog to be longer vertically so you can see more files listed. Select Cancel.
    Now drag the divider between the timeline and the stage down to be bigger vertically so you can see more Layers in the timeline.
    Now select Import and watch the file dialog spawn from the top of the stage, move down, hit the bottom of the screen, and shift your entire workspace. This is a bug. It shouldn't do this. Try fixing this weird anomaly at the top of your screen where it's a gap in the interface and you can't see the top part of the workspace.
    How long has Flash been out and this bug still exists?
    Steve Jobs was right. Adobe is lazy, though Apple's own Final Cut Studio has its share of ignored bugs, so he has no room to talk.
    I suppose I'm going to have to buy CS5 to get a bug fix...or it will carry over. I remember when Macromedia was around creating competition. The consumer benefited from that competition.

    Have you reported this bug?   Based on the series of steps you need to create this scenario, it is possible no one else has encountered it, so it may not have been addressed at all.  It probably has nothing at all to do with laziness on Adobe's end, though they are unlikely to release a new version every time a newly discovered bug gets arises.

  • Is this a Calendar bug?

    If I set a day to 30th April 2008 and add one day, I obtain 31st April, which is a day that does not exist. Is this a bug?:
    import java.util.Calendar;
    public class DateTest
         public static void main(String[] args)
              Calendar myDay = Calendar.getInstance();
              myDay.set(2008, 4, 30);     // 30th April
              System.out.println("30th April: " +
                   myDay.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + " " +
                   myDay.get(Calendar.MONTH) + " " +
                   myDay.get(Calendar.YEAR) + " "
              myDay.add(Calendar.DATE, 1);     // Adds one day
              System.out.println("Next day: " +
                   myDay.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + " " +
                   myDay.get(Calendar.MONTH) + " " +
                   myDay.get(Calendar.YEAR) + " "

  • File Dialog Box often takes a long time to execute

    Hi all
    The Labview File Dialog Box Express VI sometimes takes 5 to 10 seconds to execute. On other occasions, it executes in a blink of an eye. Why is that so?
    I have tried to use the older Open/Create/Replace File VI as suggested in one of the forum's posts...but it behaves exactly the same way. Another problem is the trimming of the filename, which has also been reported and has NOT YET been solved.
    (By the way...Recently, I updated to LV 2012 SP2 by suggestion of the NI Update Manager, only to find out that I was not entitled to this SP (which apparently only includes bug fixes) and I will have to roll back to LV 2012. Still,  in the evaluation version I can see that the bug is not fixed. Labview must have a lot of serious bugs for NI to ask for a paid bug fix, in which some bugs remain after having been reported a long time ago..well...)
    What worries me now is that intermittent lag in the execution of the File Dialog (such a basic basic function of a program...). Anyone have any idea about this? The support menu said "Ask an engineer"...any of the NI engineers has any suggestion?
    Regards
    Helder

    First of all: Thank you very much for the objective answer. I suppose that yor actually ARE a NI engineer, as I had hoped for.
    lease find my comments above (helder---------------------)

    The file dialog is provided by the OS, so if it is slow it is not LabVIEW's fault.
    What kind of computer do you have? Is this a laptop that spins down the HD to save power? In this case it needs to wait for the HD to spin up. (You can change the windows power profile or you can spend more money and get an SSD).
    Are you very low on memory?
    Does your LabVIEW program waste 100% CPU in parallel doing nothing due to bad coding?
    Are you pointing to a location that has millions of files?
    Are you pointing to a network location?
    helder:---------------------------------------
    I understand that the File Dialog is provided by the OS. But I have other applications on my PC and this doesn't happen - just in Labview. Sorry! And sometimes it
    doesn't happen. Every 10 times I open the File dialog Box, 5 times it takes long and 5 times it is immediate.
    (I am not low on memory, my coding is not bad>-look at the VI I sent, it just contains the fragment which uses the File Dialog Box and it behaves the same way! I am pointing to the same location that the other applications point to, I am not pointing to a network location, the PC is not spinning the disk down, etc etc.)
    But yes, I will try it on another PC
    (There was another post on the forum on this issue, but can't seem to find it now, just find my own post )
    I attach a video demo of what happens.

    What problem is that? Can you elaborate? There is a known bug in the windows dialog box that sometimes the pre-filled file names are shifted and not fully visible. This is a windows bug documented by Microsoft and LabVIEW has no control over it. It is not NIs job to fix OS problems.
    helder:-------------------------------------------
    Of course you can't fix the OS.
    If it is a windows bug, we will have to live with it.
    A previous post on your forum did not provide me with that information (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/File-dialog-trimmi​ng-the-default-name/td-p/2189874). The fact that it is a windows bug was not mentioned there.

    Patches are included, service packs are not included. I think this is well documented. Most users are on SSP, this way you are always entitled to the newest version.
    As with anything else, software has bugs. It is impossible to test a huge, complex system like LabVIEW under all scenarios. The possible number of combinations of hardware and other installed software on any particular computer probably exceeds the number of atoms in the universe. It is actually amazing how few bugs there are and how well it works. What "bug" are you talking about? Bugs are prioritized according to rules. Critical bugs are typically fixed very quickly. A cosmetic issue that only affects you and nobody else will take longer or might not even get fixed. Are you talking about a confirmed bug that could be reproduced by NI? Do you have a CAR#?
    helder:----------------------------------------
    I was referring to the file-name-shifting-cosmetic-bug that the October-2012 post had indicated. But if it is a Windows-bug, NI does not have any responsibility, of
    course.
    Regarding the bugs, of course they are unavoidable.
    helder wrote:

    That sentence makes no sense! Why would the number of serious bugs depend on the cost of upgrading?? You are just rambling here....
    In an ideal world, NI would have an unlimited number of programmers that can work 24/7 to immediately fix any discovered bug. This would only be possible if all users are willing to pay an unlimited amount of money for the software. As I mentioned, bug fixes are free in the form of patches, and they come out regularly. Service packs include new features and are not free.
    helder:---------------------------------------
    "....include new features"..????
    ---->>From http://www.ni.com/labview/release-details/
    "LabVIEW 2012 Service Pack 1 is an exclusive update to LabVIEW 2012 for NI Standard Service Program (SSP) customers. There are no new product features introduced in service pack releases; instead, these releases provide bug fixes and improved stability for LabVIEW 2012. For a list of these bug fixes, click here."
    No new features, just bug fixes!"
    Moreover: If it isn't free, it shouldn' have let me update if I am not a SSP costumer.
    Now I have a 45 days evaluation version. After that, I have to uninstall and reinstall everything.That takes some time and effort.
    If there is a more direct way of rolling back t the previous version, please let me know.
    Thank you

  • 9i Forms Challenge! Query records from a data block based on this view

    According to Oracle Support, it is not unusual that complicated views like the one shown below fail to work in Forms. They recommend that I "try using a When-validate trigger" to solve the problem. I would be grateful if someone could show me how. It would also be helpful if someone could explain why Forms would have a problem querying such a view in the first place.
    Thanks very much!
    CREATE TABLE t (
    id NUMBER,
    property VARCHAR2(2),
    val NUMBER
    INSERT INTO t VALUES ( 1, 'A', 10 );
    INSERT INTO t VALUES ( 1, 'B', 11 );
    INSERT INTO t VALUES ( 2, 'A', 12 );
    INSERT INTO t VALUES ( 2, 'B', 13 );
    INSERT INTO t VALUES ( 3, 'A', 14 );

    FROM t

    Steve,
    Your suggestion to put the view definition into the tablename field of the forms properties sheet was fruitful.
    Instead of the ORA-01403 error (No data found), I get ORA-24347 (Warning of a NULL column in an aggregate function). This error led me to discover bug 2457121, filed 11-Jul-2002, through Metalink. This bug is reported to only be a problem in Forms 9.0.2.7. It is reported to be fixed in Forms version 9.0.2.12.
    Thanks for your interest and help.

  • Short dump while executing Market Planner

    Hi,
    Working on CRM4.0 sp6 .
    While executing Market Planner(CRM_MKTPL) getting dump....
    Syntax error in program "CL_CRM_MKTPL_APPL_BASE==============CP".
    Can enyone help out.
    Thanks,
    Anirban

    Hi Anirban
    In general, if you are getting a syntax error in a standard SAP program (non 'Z' namespace for ABAP) then you probably should search the SAP Service marketplace for notes. Particularly in an older SP like yours.
    There are other notes to consider, eg 735219.
    If you do not find a note, then you probably want to take advantage of SAP's AGS and create a customer message. It may be a newly discovered bug.
    Cheers

    Any Help?I know the update has only been out a while but if anyone has an idea why it is doing this, please let me know!

    But you are telling me something I already know.
    Be precise.
    It is not Pages '09 that is broken.
    I am back in Mavericks and testing Pages 5.2.
    There are improvements, we shall see how useful, but in less than a minute I have already discovered bugs.

  • Share Media Browser - "Unable to prepare project ... error occurred (-108)"

    Finally got my sequence rebuilt after discovering bug/quirk with iMovie (details later). When sharing movie either via/Media Browser or "Export Movie" option after 10-15 min. get this exact message: "Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred (-108)." It plays wonderfully in preview (full screen or normal) from beginning to end. Any ideas?
    Bug/quirk discovered. Long time on this project. Had it exactly like I wanted, would generate movie and have mysterious background audio when video tracks were purposely muted. Playing within iMovie environment it worked flawlessly and would only show up in rendered movie. Also the background audio didn't match the playing video clip but was coming from other included clips elsewhere in the movie. BIG mystery. Tried breaking apart movie and re-doing. Still crept in. Finally discovered I had duplicate video files in the ./iMovie Events/ directory, "<filename> 1.mov". I surmise that iMovie is using the most recent duplicate, "<filename> 1.mov" which I was muting but the rendering process was using the original "<filename>.mov" clips. Still a mystery on audio not matching clip but it could be due the trimming I had done throwing the timing off. The duplicates happened when I had moved/copied video content in "Event Library" to manage disk consumption. It failed somewhere in the process and I ended up with duplicate video clips. The aforementioned quirk/bug still appears to not be corrected with latest update as it still occurs.

    Hi
    -108            memFullErr            Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]
    My guesses are
    • Turn off TimeMachine during use of iMovie - use to set Heap Zone right
    • Turn off Mac totally and re-start - Frees up RAM
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk - so that iMovie and Mac OS can store it's temp.files here. IMPORTANT

  • Safari with an iBook G4 (1.33Ghz)?

    Hello Everyone, What is the best version of Safari to use with an iBook G4 (1.33Ghz)? Currently has 512mb RAM and upgrading to a total of 1.5. Many thanks in advance.

    Pommeg I'm really sorry to hear all this. Of course like everybody on these forums I'm just another Mac user albeit some are more knowledgeable technically than others. I've been using Macs since the early nineties, never used a PC. My suggestion re WebKIt was because having seen on the Nordkril pages someone say it was the way to go with PPC, the webpage where it is sited contains comments up to December 2013. So I reckoned that it was still at least unofficially  found good by some users, which is why I gave it a try and found it snappy myself. Regarding the Leopard I wouldn't have downloaded it with those caveats printed and would have warned you had I known they were there.
    There's no official version of this Webkit as it stopped being run in 2009 with the demise of the Safari 4 to which it applied. The questions you are being asked would have been something you would have been able to take up with them when it was extant; the whole point of a WebKit was it was an ongoing try-out with dialogue between the ordinary users reporting back discovered bugs, and the Safari developers. It was a stage towards the provision of a more uptodate browser. My only decision to try it out was because looking for the best browser for these old iBooks has been a recurring problem the older they get. I surmised that if this webkit was being recently still recommended by some, perhaps it therefore had reached a stage of useability when last updated that meant it could still be worth using in our circumstances now. But when things go wrong as is happening with your Leopard, there's nothing I could suggest other than try a software update.
    In truth as K Shaffer has indicated maybe it's TenFourFox is the best current browser for us, but as I have mentioned I couldn't get the Flash workaround to work in it; and on a personal quirky note I just don't like Firefox and its variants. A personal thing to do with that there's no toggle key shortcut for hiding the navigation toolbar, and that has always irritated me. Browser use is subjective.
    I'd go with iCab, that way you could use the Flash workaround and be certain of the browser being kept securely updated. There is the matter of $20 though (which gives you a registration number you can use again whenever you put iCab on another machine) but you can try it out as has been suggested, free; there's a kind of see-through advert hovers on and off occasionally to remind you to pay if you want to use it properly.
    Again my apologies for what of your hassle is down to my advice.

  • Has anyone seen the quirk with iphones, yahoomail and outlook?

    Here's the situation - and not really documented that I can find - I am interested in anyone's solution and if it spills over to apple computers with outlook as well.. I have a friend with a Dell desktop, Outlook 2007, and an iphone. She has att.net as a provider and uses their yahoomail. She has one primary and two secondary email addresses with att.net. She was getting repeated internet explorer errors (IE would close and reopne) and her Outlook client would indicate "communication error". Previously I noted - when installing her new PC and importing her pst file that we could not have her iphone on if we wanted to delete anything in outlook. That was maybe 8 months ago.. so when the errors weren't going away, we narrowed the issue down to the iphone being connected to email at the same time outlook was syncing - IE would crash, and outlook would kick out errors for the primary account. I am only guessing but I am thinking that for pop access, with att.net at least, one can only be accessing the user db once at any time, there perhaps is a file lock.. We turn off the iphone, no issue. Turn back on- and connected to email - issue... Thoughts? Experiences? Thank you in advance.. spit

    Steve,
    I think your post #11 was being sarcastic, but you left a little wiggle room for it not to be. With the sarcastic interpretation, I must add my thoughts:
    Here is the link to the Adobe bug report form
    . It is important that users who discover bugs with reproducible steps file them - otherwise they don't stand a chance of ever getting fixed. Steven Gotz's advice was sound in this regard.
    As to the discussion of workarounds - since this is a User-to-User forum, the best that we as a community can do is help each other out with workarounds, since none of us here have the power to actually fix anything.
    The important thing to glean from SG's post is the definite need to file a bug report.
