Is the windows PDA sync software officially released yet (out of beta) and is there or will there ever be a MAC version?
I've just tried to get PC Suite version 6.86.9.3 to recognise my Nokia 6220 classic on my Mac by running it on Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 by way of Microsoft Virtual PC 7.0.2, and it's bad news.
PC Suite installs & runs fine, but when it comes time to connect the phone, despite selecting PC Suite mode on the phone when I plug the cable in, the software just can't see the phone. This doesn't surprise me, given that the phone isn't connected to a real PC USB port - it's merely connected to a Mac USB port masquerading as a "virtual" PC USB port.
Plan B involves borrowing my Dad's PC laptop & making a back-up using that.
My Mac is an old model that can't run Windows software natively. Current Macs can though, so eventually when I get a new Mac I'm sure PC Suite will see my phone perfectly.
I would have bought an iPhone 3G instead of the Nokia (which obviously wouldn't have given me the compatibility problems) but the iPhone only has a 2 MP camera, has no flash, won't record video & can't send or receive picture messages. Hopefully a future iPhone will have as good a spec for imaging as the 6220 classic, but that's probably a long way off.

MacBook Pro won't download the Windows 7 support software
My mid 2010 13" MacBook pro cannot download the windows 7 support software from bootcamp. Bootcamp claims that it is not connected to the internet, however, it is. I have tried connecting to the internet via ethernet also, but no success. Is there a fix to this problem or maybe an external link?

Hi, I bought an iPad and was so impressed by Safari that I replaced Chrome with it on my Windows XP Toshiba laptop and now when I use Safari the icons on the screen continue to flicker until I come out of Safari. Is there a cure other than using a Mac
When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Hi BC,
I have an issue with BC. When the shopping cart is used it takes stock out of inventory and holds it, regardless of whether or not a customer proceeds to purchase. OK.
To make matters worse, the stock is only cleared from the shopping cart when the customer closes the browser - not when they close the shopping window.
Now lets say a customer doesn't close their browser for a month - it happens! .. when their stock is finally returned it may throw out our stock levels that have in the meanwhile been adjusted. So their stock will be added on top of an accurate stock take, putting stock in that isnt really available.
This is causing us mayhem.
We have not yet seen if stock is actually returned at all. In the test we did today where we filled a shopping cart then closed the browser without making a purchase, the stock was not returned immediately. So we dont even know when it will be returned - thats IF a customer actually closes their browser. Any solutions out there?
JoHi there,
The way stock is managed in this situation is desirable for many in that case otherwise shopping on a site and adding to cart would not be viable or use friendly.
What you mention about not closing a browser though is a case that is not true. IF you go into the shop settings in the admin you can see the cart restore timer which is by default 24 hours but you can change this to as low as 1 hour if you wish. -

Hi I'm a total novice, as you will see. But Iam trying to use template of an employee schedule but when I try to add extra columns it does not add the preset formula with it, so it works out total hours and total pay? If any one can help please before I throw it through the window!

Hi Grum,
If the formulas aren't filling to the new column, you must have changed something in the template since you first opened it. Numbers is rather fussy about filling row content in columns as they are added. Only rows with the same expression in every Body Column will fill when a column is added. Just as an experiment, start a new Employee Schedule document from the Template Chooser and then add a column by clicking the Add Column handle in the upper right corner of the table. If that works, as it should, then think about what might have changed in your working document to disconnect that feature. Maybe we can figure it out together.

No, you are not. Apple merely encourages there customers to secure their own data. Only fools choose to not have a passcode lock. I hope for your own laziness that you never keep any personal data on your phone... otherwise you are setting yourself up for major issues when your phone falls into the hands of an unscrupulous person. -
I am not able to open the settings icon from my old iPAD. When I try to select the settings icon it looks like it's about to launch and open however; it will not stay open. I am trying to transfer all my data from my old iPAD to my new 4th gen iPAD.
Try a soft reset - press the home and power bottons and keep them pressed until the Apple logo comes on. Then see if you can access Settings.

UEFI (unified extensible firmware interface) boot requires Global unique identifier Partition Table (GPT) as opposed to the older Master Boot Record (MBR). If your existing drive is formatted in MBR, you will need to adjust BIOS settings to enable legacy boot in order for it to work properly.
Is there a performance difference between GPT and MBR? If GPT is better, I do not mind formatting the drive with it.

Thanks. What about the thunderbolt port?

Hi,
There was a serious BIOS/UEFI problem with that SSD . Perhaps this thread will save you some headaches. Someone is recomending shutting off Rapid Boot in the setup, which would probable mean little with a SSD, anyway.
I read through this, and it looks like the problem was fixed in a BIOS update, which I plan to do. However, it also seems like Intel Rapid Start is not even worth it in the first place, as sleep consumes almost no power at all.

Issue 3:
Cannot connect this computer to the network (Account related)
The computer cannot be connected to the server using the user name and password credentials provided. This may be because an existing computer account having name “ComputerName” was previously
created using a different set of credentials. Rename this computer and then try to connect this computer to the server again, or contact your administrator to remove any old conflicting account.
When you connect the client computer to server essentials with a new user account, please check if the client computer has been connected to the server essentials, and didn’t remove from
Dashboard. You may encounter the following error.
