Left in the dust again

My sister works for a telecom company now located in Frisco, Texas. When she has visited I have often heard her say "Vermont is a telecom nightmare" referring to the problems associated with having good signal. At the time U.S. Cellular and Unicel (formerly Cellular One) were the only options here. Then came Sprint which wasn't that great signal wise, but at least they were making an effort. Now we have Verizon and Nextel has started to creep up in places and were not as behind so much as we once were. So here comes "iTunes Mobile". Naturally I was excited because it has been 2 years since I got my last phone. Well after all of the progress and upgrades we have had here who does Apple launch there mobile platform with? Cingular. That really stinks. I'm not knocking Cingular as I have never used there service before, but it's not available here and once again we get left behind. I know there will probably be iTunes compatible phones in the future, but this is something that I have been waiting for for years. It's very frustrating.
Thanks for listening,
LM

Apple mentioned that they are open to work with other carriers... Perhaps they will.

Fireworks Users Left in the Clouds Again

I'm not a fireworks user and have dabbled very little with it in the past, but how come adobe is not updating this product? Can someone give their feedback and insight on why this product is being left in the cloud and no updates and new technology is being added to it?

Fireworks CS6 is the last version. From Wikipedia:
On May 6, 2013, Adobe announced that Fireworks would be phased out, much to the dismay of its users. Adobe will continue to provide security updates and perhaps bug fixes for the current version, but does not plan to add any new features beyond what is in Fireworks CS6.
Muse is a completely different application: basically a wysiwyg web design app for designers who do not want to or are unable to code html pages. Muse can also be a very nice prototyping app, though.
But currently there is not any true replacement yet on the market - I suppose Adobe is trying to turn Photoshop in a more web-friendly tool (which I think is only semi-successful). If you work on a mac Sketch might be a partial alternative.

TPTwist - 3 Repair attempts before breaking my computer. Now, left in the dust of pure incompetence

Okay,
I purchased my Thinkpad Twist about a year ago. Purchased the accidental damage warranty because its a twist and i am kind of a clutz.
About six months later...
-Fan Grinding.
-Minor Touchscreen issues.
No problem, this is my primary business/school machine so I can put up with the problems for now. Just be sure not to use the machine in tablet mode and all is well for now..
About four months later...
-LCD Panel volume buttons malfunction. Any time the screen is opened beyond a 90 degree angle or twisted, it thinks I am holding down the volume up button. So I cannot use the machine in a public place without headphones plugged in.
Okay. Despite the Lenovo Support horror stories, its time to make use of my extended warranty.
It Starts.....
Contacted support, they were awesome, had a box sent to me within two days and i sent my computer in no problem. After my computer arrives at the lenovo repair center, it isn't there for more than a few hours before they sent it back to me. The ESC website has 0 updates on the status/progress of the repair.
I recieve the computer and think, awesome! Lenovo has a rockin turn-around time!!!
FALSE!!!
Problems reported:
-CPU Fan noise
-Random ScreenTouches (Even out of tablet mode)
-Volume Key Malfunction
Problems Fixed:
-NONE
I promptly contacted support and calmly explained my situation. After apologizing they informed me that it was my fault the computer was not fixed as they were waiting on my to contact them concerning the problems and repair... But wait, the ESC website did not update once after I sent the computer back, how was I supposed to know I needed to contact support? Why couldn't they simply open and power on the computer to verify there were issues?
Watev, I understand sometimes customers can fall through the cracks. I have four years of experience working in computer repair. I re-sent the computer in immediately after recieving it.
Once again, the computer was recieved by the Lenovo repair center and within a few hours was immediately sent back to me. Again, no updates at all on the the ESC website..
2nd Repair Attempt:
Problems reported:
-CPU Fan noise
-Random ScreenTouches (Even out of tablet mode)
-Volume Key Malfunction
Problems Fixed:
-Motherboard Replaced????
-None..
Problems Caused:
-CPU Fan Error on first boot.....
Okay, I understand that sometimes mistakes happen. This has gone from an innocent oversight to a weakness in Lenovo's Quality Assurance. I again promtly contacted support and calmly expressed my concerns. By now 2 weeks have gone by. The support representative did not blame it on me this time (which is better I guess) but instead offered oodles of apologies. The rep assured me that they would keep the computer for at lease 1 extra day to perform extensive quality tests, and ensure the computer is 100% functional before its returned to me. It was at the end of the week so they didn't get another box to me until the following Wednesday.. But wait, why ship one box when you can ship two??!! That's right, I received two boxes for my computer under two different service tags with two completely different problem descriptions. I sent the computer in under the service tag I was provided over the phone. I included the second overnight shipping label in my box as to not waist time shipping an empty box next day air back to Lenovo.
It Continues.....
The computer is once again shipped back to me after having been at the repair center for no more than 5-6 hours.
Problems reported:
-CPU Fan noise
-Random ScreenTouches (Even out of tablet mode)
-Volume Key Malfunction
Problems Fixed:
-CPU Fan
-Volume Key Malfunction
Problems Caused:
-Pinched LCD Cable in the hinge of the laptop and broke the LCD top plate and Bezel near the hinge.
- Now the LCD Panel grinds against the chassis above the keyboard and the finish is wearing off. The LCD Panel is split open at the bottom and the Touchscreen issues are still occuring. There is way to much tension when opening the lid and its caused by the LCD cable pinching in the center hinge.
Okay...
I immediately contacted Lenovo and expressed my frustration (calmly I might add - with experience working in computer repair I know that they are not going to want to fix the computer of some @$# yelling at them over the phone). The support representative related with me, and assured me that I was the exception not the rule and that service issues like this are highly uncommon. He told me that they were going to replace the machine with a brand new laptop and submitted an escalated service request for me.
I was told: "It will only take a maximum of 48 hours for someone to contact you and let you know if the escalation is approved."
2 days and no attempt made to contact me later, I called back. A different representative informed me that I was wrong and that the minimum time frame for someone to contact me is actually 72 hours.
Okay, 4 days later and still no attempt made to contact me. I called back. "We are very sorry, unfortunately there is nothing we can do. This has to be handled by a seperate department. Someone should contact you within 48 hours.
3 days later, no attempt made to contact me. I am at 1 week since the escalated service request was submitted. I call back. The supervisor at the support center is taking my calls at this point, and has been very helpful. I wish the department that needed to contact me had .01% of the compitence of the supervisor "####" (I will not use his name on forums) I have been working with at the support center. If they did, I would have been sorted a long time ago. He informed me that he emailed the VP of the sales department as well as a sales rep to try and prod someone to wake up and take action.
1 week later... no calls made. I am livid as Its been over a month and a half and I have been unable to use my computer once. It is now in worse condition than it was before I sent it in, and aside from the support supervisor I have been working with, no one at Lenovo cares. I call back and was informed that they are contacting some hotline and that a representative would contact me no matter what within 2 days.
Its been 3 days and I still have not had a call. Its over the weekend so nothing can even be done until monday. Its been two and a half weeks since my computer arrived trashed by the repair technician, and no attempts have been made to contact me despite my efforts to politely acquire help from Lenovo.
Lenovo took my money for the extended warranty, broke my computer and is currently giving me a long middle finger as I wait for any kind of help. I have only ever owned Thinkpads and in a house full of a family that only ownes apple products, they are laughing at me now for talking up my Lenovo products. I feel like the but of a bad joke. I cannot beleive the Thinkpad brand name has fallen so low. Bottom Line...
Regretably I think I am going to have to cross Lenovo off the top of my list for my next PC. I can't stress enough how dissapointing this has been for me. I hope I really am the exception and not the rule, but judging by the information I have found online, This is more common that I would have suspected prior. I hope you all have better luck if you ever need Lenovo to fix your computer. I mean it, Good Luck.

Luckily got the nano working (showing in iTunes). Actually I loaded TouchCopy to see if that recognised it and it didn't, but next time I launched iTunes it did recognise it, so all is good now.

Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Restart your Mac after freeing up disk space then check Stoage again.
Another way to view avialable space:
Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop then click Get Info.
In the Get Info panel you'll see: Available & Capacity
Again, make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.

Why firefox 3.6 downloads all of the files again after restartarting the browser from a website if the "clear history when Firefox closed" is not Enabled?

We have a corporate website, we officially support FF3, FF4, IE8 and IE9. Our web site is quite big, so we really need browser caching, first time page load is around 15 seconds. With files in the cache getting new page is less than a second.
Everything works perfect except with FF3. With FF4, IE8, IE9 if we are on the website, clicking everywhere is fast, the page is in the cache. If we restart the browser, it is still fast, it loads files from the cache.
But with FF3 we have a problem. Every time we restart the browser, it is loading the files again from the server, instead of using the local cache (checked with Firebug). I can reproduce the problem anytime, it is the same with every FF3 instances. I double checked, the "clear history when Firefox closed" option is not enabled.
Could you advise please how to use the local cache either after browser restart?
Thank you!
Chris

Just read that the default memory storage on FF is set to 5 mbs. You can up that by clicking on tools, advanced and overriding the default and set it to 50 mbs (if you use lots of tabs) or 10 mbs (if you use just a few).
I open a blank tab and clear the cache periodically, while I am working. I can have several tabs open and watch videos on Youtube, by doing this. Have you cleared your cache?
Since I have an older computer, I've also used CCleaner for years. I use it often, but always before signing off. You can get it free...search for CCleaner, download from Pirifoam free. I didn't change any of the settings and it clears crap left behind from uninstalling programs, clears all browsers at once of: cookies, history, passwords, etc. I love it!
I had freezing, before using the "open blank tab, clear the cache" thing. Now I have no problems. Plus, as I said...you can change the default memory usage for FF and that should help too.
Hope this helps! Good luck! :)

Here you go:
You should be able to hit the "Agree" button, if you are on an iPhone right now. On a Mac, you should just left click the button where it said "Accept". I hope this helped.
To quit the app store, simply hit these keys:
Than, you should come up with this window:
Select the app store with:
a) The up and down arrow keys
b) Your cursor
Than hit the 'Enter' button twice. This should close the app store. The force quit window is also accesible through the apple logo in the top left corner of the screen. It should say:
Force Quit...

Anchor in Safari is not working from left to the right (visa versa) other browsers are working corectly with this!

Hi,
The Safari anchor problem is back! But now for using an anchor from the left to the right and visa versa (it is for a website design).
Apple solved the problem for using the anchor from the top to bottom and bottom to top but NOT from the left to the right and right to the left.
I test it in several browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, IE8, even in IE7 is it working ;-) but not The Safari of the Big Apple!!!
You can test it here: http://www.douma.biz/anchor_problem_safari/
I put a little script in it so it is going smooth to the right and left. It is also not working without the script, so that is not the problem.
You can test it in: Firefox, IE8, IE7, Chrome, Opera etc. But Safiri is it not working!
So can somebody help me? I tried the max-height, max-width, with and without overflow-x hidden, etc etc. but it is still not working in Safari.
Best regards,
Stephanie

Is it again a bug???

[FIXED BUT NOT SOLVED] NVIDIA - Desktop shifted left off the screen...

Hello Community!
For a pretty long time right now, I am trying to fix the video setup of my HTPC but without success. Because I'am run out of ideas, I really need Your help.
PROBLEM:
The desktop is shifted left off the screen, round about 100 Pixel.
It started some time in the past, while upgrading a one year old Ubuntu installation (NVDIA drivers). Because I couldn't fix it and also wanted to replace Ubuntu with ArchLinux, I performed a clean ArchLinux installation.
First I used the nouveau drivers ending up with the same problem. I read an configured using xrandr and cvt, but with no success.
So I restored the system to a snapshot taken before X11 and nouveau drivers installations, thank's BTRFS, and installed the proprietary NVIDIA drivers ending up with the same problems. Again I tried all the tips and tricks found in the documentations and forums, used nvidia-xconfig, hand crafted the xorg.conf all with no success.
HARDWARE
The system is a MSI Media Live (http://www.msi.com/product/desktop/Media-Live.html)
. Support AMDR Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64 and Sempron in the Socket AM2 package
. North Bridge: nVidia® C51PVG Chipset
. South Bridge: nVidia® MCP51 Chipset
. Graphics is Integrated NVIDIA GPU GeForce 6150 LE
. VGA, SCART and HDMI - Connectors
The display Problem is on VGA and HDMI now, where in the past the VGA was perfect. Therefor I connected and used the VGA port only, in all tests.
INSTALLATION HISTORY

As You can see, I installed only a minimal X11 environment for test. The lxdm display manger shows up but with very small font and shifted to the left. Only if I force a resolution of 1024x768 the image is centered on screen/tv but still the very small font. Obviously not a solution for a HTPC.
Here are the xorg.conf and the Xorg.0.log of my last test configuration.

Question
How can I shift the display to the right?
Many thanks for any hints.

Thank You Mr.Elendig!
The simplest answer often is best. After I connected a TFT display, instead of my TV, I was able to calibrate the screen output and got the desktop shifted. Knowing that, I tried the settings of my TV again. There is a hard to find option for calibration wich is set to automatic but doesn't do it. Trying to turn it of did the trick. Even the option stays on automatic and even the display format is fixed to 4:3 instead of 16:9, finaly the TV adjusted the display correctly.
None the less, the problem not to be able to shift the desktop using the screen paramters in xorg.conf remains.
Thanks

Text has just one line left on the bottom to write in.

I have a BB Curve 8900 v5.0.0.900 (Bundle 1626, PkRDIEN 5.2.0.96) with T-Mobil service. I did the update for my phone a while ago. When I want to do a text message, the screen displays the previous message over most of the screen with just one line left on the bottom to write in. It makes writing a text a pain because I have to scroll up every time to make sure my text is correct. I've tried to live with this but I don't love it. Can I change this?
Thank you,
Girlfriend

The easiest solution is VPN on Demand
System Preferences -> Network -> (VPN) -> Advanced -> VPN on Demand
Add the hostname/domain name of the resource you're trying to access over VPN to this list. Now the OS will track any access attempt to the specified hostname/domain and will automatically bring up the VPN connection (prompting for username/password if needed).
As for the Dock icon, that depends on the resource you're accessing.
If it's a file share, just mount the share manually then drag the share's icon from your desktop to your Dock. You can now click on the Dock to mount the sharepoint (initiating the VPN connection thanks to VPN on Demand).
If it's a web site, drag the URL from your browser to your Dock. Clicking the icon will launch the URL in your preferred browser (again, triggering VPN on Demand as appropriate).

BT can't find the phoneline - again!

Hi
I'm trying to move house. As usual I have a massive list of address changes to make and utility accounts to close/transfer. As usual, I got to the item "BT" and my heart sank. But I pressed on. Maybe for once it would go smoothly?
This time - I told myself - it'll work. Because this time, the current tenant of the new property kindly took the time to meet me there (he doesn't live there any more, though he has the keys) and let me in so that I could do a 17070 on the line. I got the number read out to me by the automated service, thanked the guy for letting me in and left happily.
No. Surprise, surprise. BT can't find any trace of the number their own automated service has read out to me. As usual, the actual service guy on 0800 800 150 was trying his best to help me, but his system had no trace of this line. There is no line listed at that address (apart from two other lines which are in current use); and the number I was given on 17070 is listed at another address in the area.
The only option I'm being offered is to "book a line installation"; when there is, perfectly clearly, a BT line, with a BT Openreach labelled socket, and a dial tone, already there in the property. I am not prepared to do this. I just have no faith that the engineer will turn up and confirm that there is a line, and that I shouldn't be charged. If the line happens to be currently/last operated by TalkTalk, or DeutscheTelekom, TwoBeanTinsTelecom, or whoever, that's not my problem. Should I call every telecoms provider operating in the UK just to find out who can provide me service without charging a ridiculous "installation fee"?
£130 for installation, or signing up to BT Broadband (which I don't want), or signing up to an 18-moth contract, are simply not options. I'm already having a to break an 18-month BT contract and pay the cancellation fees to move away from this property, because there was no BT line here (I got fooled by the similar-looking Virgin socket).
I've had to move house quite frequently in the last few years: simply because sometimes a landlord or property turns out to be no good to live in. I take this into account when I move house. I look for a BT socket precisely so that I won't have to pay this kind of amount, or sign up to 18-month contracts that I'm never going to reach the end of.
What are my options?
Apart from concluding that BT simply don't want my business unless I
- Pay a massive upfront charge; or
- Buy into services I don't want or need; or
- Buy into a longer contract than I'll honour, and end up paying cancellation charges

Thank you for your further explanation, plainview.
Unfortunately it doesn't change my situation, which is that I'm stuck in a bureaucratic hole. No-one is taking responsibility for telling me who this - evidently operational, if not activated - phone-line belongs to, so that I can make a choice about how to start up service on it. If it's a LLU line, it must "belong" to some company, and I should be able to make a choice whether to take up service with them (with minimal startup costs), or take up service with some other company (and pay some conversion/connection/installation charges). But who does it belong to?
If I don't get some answers, from somewhere, soon, I'm going to take this up with Ofcom.
Here are the further checks I've done:
1. Got access to the property again, and did a 17070. Result: a phone number is read out to me, which shares the same 3-digit code as my current BT line down the road (the code is 0141-XXX). The voice then says "BT line test facilities", and gives me 4 options, probably used by engineers.
2. The phone socket clearly has BT Openreach written on it.
3. This phone line does not exist on BT's database. Or it does exist but is not at that address. Or it used to exist but has "been re-assigned". I get a different answer every time I call. One woman at BT tried to help me by looking it up on an older system, but before she got far the system crashed/shut her out.
4. It doesn't exist on Zen Internet's (probably same) database. (These are the providers I would like to go with, but they require a non-LLU line).
5. In case it might be a Sky line, I ran it through the Sky Line Check at Sky line check. Entering the number and postcode, I get some results, but "Phone number lookup failed". This is similar to what I get on other line-check websites I've found.
6. Calling the number, I get "This line does not accept incoming calls".
7. Tried calling BT Openreach on 0800 023 2023. I had to fight a little to explain that I can't go through my provider, because I can't get a provider, because I can't get any provider to acknowledge that this line exists! They couldn't help me, and referred me to BT Faults on 0800 800 151 option 1. I called that, and tried to get some sense. They couldn't help me either, and referred me to... guess... Openreach on 0800 023 2023!
8. Other numbers tried from the line in question:
        150 "Number not recognised"
        100 "Number not recognised"
        1571 "Number not recognised"
        1471 "No received calls"
        0800 800 150 "Number not recognised".
Here's my position:
- I agree that this problem is not BT Retail's responsibility
- There is no malice or bad service involved: the people I talk to try to help me, but run up against what seems to be the immovable object which is BT Openreach's refusal to admit the possibility that their database of lines is incomplete or inaccurate, especially when flats are involved. Service people cannot deal with this by escalating it to Openreach; the only procedure in place seems to be to suggest that I fling £130 at the problem and see what happens - which means I'm committing to a provider already!
My experience is that BT being wrong about the presence of a line is not a possibility, but a constant reality. Every single time I've moved house in the last 10 years, there's been a BT socket there, with a dial tone (except for this last place I'm now in); every time BT have claimed that there's no record of a line. Every time they've wanted to charge me for line installation. Every time I've had to fight like hell to convince them that there is a line and not pay for installation. Every time they've found out that, surprise surprise, there was a line there all along I'm sick of it. It's simply an attempt to gouge £130 out of me, when the problem is that the database is inaccurate.
Now I want to choose my provider; it may be that the line currently in the property allows some choices and makes others more expensive. For example, if it's a LLU line, Zen Internet or BT would have to charge me an installation fee. But I can't get this information!! BT's attitude is "the database is right; if it's not on the database, it doesn't exist; it belongs to some other company, but we're not going to tell you/can't tell you who". So who does have responsibility for telling me who this line belongs to?
I've spent hours on this.

After Maverick Install, how do I get windows from randomly locking to the upper left of the screen?

This has only began to pop up since installing Mavericks. Seemingly at random, windows (Finder, Safari, etc) will lock their positions to the upper left of the screen. What's worse is that it is always half on the screen and half off. There is no title bar to move the window, but I can still three-finger move it from another area of window. Unfortunately, when I place the window where I want it to be, it immediately snaps back to its original screwed up position.
Any insights?

Yes.. someone else!!

I found if you adjust the refresh rate (in display settings) then back again it stopps snapping.
Do you all have an AOC monitor connected by HDMI?
