Live Tiles, some not so live...

Hi, can anyone share what proffered "'Live Tiles' in Nokia Drive, Maps, Music and Transit (to name a few) actually do?? They do not seem to do anything for me..
In fact, and don't get this wrong I'm as big a fan of Nokia hardware as anyone - read my name, but I think the use of live tiles is actually less than ordinary and a bit disappointing.
Nokia and MS could do SO much more (in fact anything at all)... with the Nokia Music tile .. song, artists currently playing, album art, flip side of artists photo. Email client... large tile could cycle through ALL unread emails .. Calendar, large tile could cycle through several upcoming appointments. Maps/Drive: mid or large tile could show current location (when the app is running).. etc etc.
Not making anything like full use of the UX...

The Nokia music tile does nothing.. This is what i'm talking about.. Nokia could be doing so much better with their built in apps.. And Nokia themselves say that they have a huge amount of say in the UX and can customise as much as they wish.
In fact it says something, doesn't it, that in this way the native music app is actually better ??? Poor effort by Nokia, that's all i'm saying .. particularly when Nokia's music app is so nice, albeit slightly convoluted...

Windows Live Tiles are not working and refreshing

Hello,
I have looked for an answer but can't seem to find one so this is honestly my last resort. For some reason my Windows live tiles are not working nor refreshing. When I open my Netflix app for instance I get a playback error N8102, but I am strangely connected
to the internet. Oddly, however, Netflix does work well using firefox on the desktop.
I tried to check if I needed an app update for Netflix, but the Windows app store is not loading as well. Internet explorer app is not working, and IE on the desktop is taking too long to load. But firefox and chrome work perfectly well on the desktop.
Other problems that I have encountered are:
Microsoft Office 2013 is taking too long to open, and when it does it often crashes
I can't view my Windows Updates
Can't view control panel. It also crashes.
I am not sure what the problem is.

Hi GBell101,
Here I list these issues：
1. Windows Live tiles are not working
2. Netflix app not working error code N8102
3. Can’t open windows app store
4. Windows office 2013 often crashes
5. Can’t view Windows updates and control panel
Please share us more information for better analyzation:
1. What changes had you made before you met these issues?
2. Do you receive other error messages or code?
3. Do you mean we can’t open Windows updates and control panel or can’t find them?
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Install Silverlight on the computer and check if the Netflix issue persists.
2. Run the app troubleshooter, for more information, please refer to the following article.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/what-troubleshoot-problems-app
3. If the issue exists, we could conduct the system restore to restore Windows to a earlier point in time.

Microsoft Live Tiles do not update

I have two different PC systems with Windows 8.1 (with all the updates).
In both systems the Microsoft live tiles "Mail", "People", "News", "Sports", "Food", "Health"
have the following issue:
Starting from a fresh installation they update as live tiles on the windows start screen.
BUT
when I click on them for the first time, I get into the app which works fine and after I close it, the tile stops being live. That is, if I click the tile it opens the app ok but then it stops
to update on the windows start screen.
The only solution that I have found is to uninstall and reintall the speciifec tiles again.
But even then the problem recycles. At first the live tile is OK and once I have entered the app and then closed it the live tile does not update.
Note that, of course, all live tiles are set to ON and that other tiles from Microsoft, such as "Weather" and "Stocks", or from other publishers such as Accuweather work and update without problems.
Any help appreciated.

Hello,
There could be many reasons for it. You need to make sure that your Local Disk is not full. If it is not then follow the given steps below to solve your problem.
1) Change your screen resolution to 1024x768.
2) Run windows 8 app troubleshooter, choose repair.
3) Unpin the apps, then pin them again
4) Restart.
I hope the above steps helps you. If you are success then you may restore your previous resolution again otherwise not required.

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] JATO 1.1 - First Tile is not displayed in TiledView.

Hi Shyam--
I'm not seeing this over here. So, we need to figure out why you're seeing
it--I need some more information.
First, what model are you using to back the tiled view? Second, can you
please forward the page and tiled view Java classes and JSPs to my work
address? At what point are you writing the getTileIndex() value out--during
display, business processing, what?
Also, try putting a stack trace in the nextTile() method of the tiled view

Hi
We migrated our application from JATO 1.0 to JATO 1.1,
with 1.1 the nextTile() method is skipping the first tile in

with index 1 instead of 0.

My computer The File "itunes library.til" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your itunes library and renamed it to "iTunes Library (Damaged itl)"

My computer crashed when I was using Itunes. I got everything up and running and got this message "The File “itunes library.til” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your itunes library and renamed it to “iTunes Library (Damaged itl)” Everything loads up put in takes 10 min. then my music playlists are deleted everytime I turn Itunes on. What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks.

Hi shyanne23,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your iTunes library file has become damaged in some way, you may want to try recreating your iTunes library and playlists by following this article:

Latest version of Tiles appears not compatible with JSF 2

I have been doing java server faces for about a month now. In general, i very much like what I see. However, I found significant problems with Tiles. I have now spend about 8 hours trying to debug it. The book by David Geary and Cay Horstman have a whole section on tiles. However, the latest download of Tiles has changed significantly since the authors wrote the section. I have debugged and debugged to now I get the following in NetBeans:
SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener
java.lang.VerifyError: (class: com/sun/webui/jsf/renderkit/html/AccordionTabDesignTimeRenderer, method: encodeBegin signature: (Ljavax/faces/context/FacesContext;Ljavax/faces/component/UIComponent;)V) Incompatible argument to function

at com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener.configure(ConfigureListener.java:1028)
at com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener.configure(ConfigureListener.java:1100)
My only conclusion is that the latest version of tiles is not compatible with JSF 2.
Is anyone able to get the latest version of Tiles to work with JSF 2?

JSF + Tiles is not going anywhere. Most of the JSF components render at runtime whereas Tiles only works at compile-time. Tiles was designed to work with JSP not JSF, even though some people tried to use it for a while until they realize the big limitation.
Go and try JSF + Facelets. It'll solve many of your problems.

HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

CSS (some, not all) not showing up in browser, but fine in DW. Plus other desperate issues....

I would really appreciate any and all help I can get to solve these problems as I'm new to CSS/HTML (completely new) and have been attempting to code my design just well enough to get it uploaded and working as a site. Once I can atleast achieve this feat, I plan on completely converting to CSS. But for now, I need to get the site working and I really didn't want to come and bother all of you on here with my problems and have been procrastinating posting on here for absolutely ages now....but since I can't figure all of the messy-uppy ness going on on my own, I beg forgiveness for any of your time wasted on my problems .
Okay, so the "main" issue here is that I can see some(some, not all) CSS on DW, but I see NONE whatsoever when I go to preview in browser, same after uploading. I do have all of the files uploaded and placed in the correct directories, including the stylesheet, and images folder. But, nope, nada. Now, I did think this was a root/directory problem, maybe the url's weren't pointing to the right directories. I checked and attempted to fix this several times and any changes made no difference. Also, uploaded to the root of my site, where all files and folders are where they should be, yet no change. I am utterly clueless as to what is going on here....
Second: Padding, or margins added through CSS for the divs is simply not working in DW or otherwise. I have padding placed on all of the content type areas with writing/content in them and despite the fact that the changes to the font/text formatting I've made show up, the padding does not. This is only in DW since no CSS whatsoever is showing out of DW anyways. I would like to know how to get the padding and the formatting, just all of the CSS in general to actually show up in browser/when uploaded.
Third: The next issue is also confusing, and this only occured after I made the page into a template and uploaded the home.htm page I created from it to my site. For some reason, the image called "../images/aurora2_14_content_marg.gif". Is appearing at the very top of the page for no reason at all. I don't understand why it is there, or how it even got up there in the first place.
Fourth: This was actually next on my list of things to figure out once I've gotten all of the above issues taken care of but since I'm still drawing a blank after 2+ weeks on how to get this done in a way that will work I guess it couldn't hurt to ask on here and get some expertise on the matter. The issue is that I have a repeating background (images/bg.png) that I want stretching downwards as I add content to the page. I have this placed as the main background for the entire site as you will be able to see in a moment through my code/site. Now, the place I want this to start is from where the aforementioned image (../images/aurora2_14_content_marg.gif) stops. However, I want the content to actually start from 20 pixels or so from the top of that very image. I want to try and achieve this through the use of margins but since the margins and padding are not showing up I hve been unable to experiment with it enough to figure out any other way to achieve this. Any suggestions on how to achieve this would be much appreciated.
Fifth (yes, unfortunately we're still going): As you may be able to see through the design I have two seperate areas for the main content and the navigation and other such items to be placed. To clarify, the content will be placed(through the use of expandable content boxes, once I figure out how to work that) beginning at the aforementioned image/td/div (../images/aurora2_14_content_marg.gif) with a bit of padding or margin from the top and sides (too pull the content towardsthe center of the site rather than all over from left to right like it is appearing now). The navigation etc will be placed where the long cyan area is under the search bar. For both of these, I cannot figure out how to split my one background image and also the content_marg.gif image into the two divs/or whatever else would work to split their contents from eachother. I think that seperating them into 2 divs with padding from the sides and eachother and seperate top paddings (I want the navigation to begin more near the top of the page than the content). The issue here is, I cannot figure out how to do this.
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, any tips on how to achieve the code for the solutions provided would also be very much appreciated, as I am only just starting out coding.
The site/page:
http://aurora.comeze.com/home.htm
The stylesheet (style.css):
http://aurora.comeze.com/style.css
Like I mentioned above, all of this except the padding shows up in DW. Whereas, none of this shows up at all in browser view, or through the site.

How can I delete or transfer some (not all) Albums, Music and pics in "Photo Library" NOT purchased in iStore from my iPhone to a computer, when the original computer that did the original iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?

The iPhone iOS 4 User Guide sees to indicate that the SYNCH function is all one way from computer to iPhone, unless it is for purchased items in iStore on the iPhone.
1. How can I delete some (not all) Albums and Music from my iPhone when the original computer that did the iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?
2. How can I transfer Albums and Music (not purchased from iStore on iPhone) from my iPhone to the new computer?
3. How can I delete some (not all) pictures in my iPhone "Photo Library" when the original computer that did the iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?
4. How can I transfer pictures in my iPhone "Photo Library" to the new computer?

Hi wjosten,
thanks for the "TouchCopy" software link. I have downloaded a demo copy and it will resolve my transfer of music from iPhone to the new computer. I can then delete any unwanted music on the new computer, then re-synch the updated music to iPhone.
I am not sure about the photos. On my iPhone, there are two photo "albums" - one called "camera roll" and the other called "photo library." TouchCopy finds the pictures in the "camera roll" DCIM folder, and I can copy them to the new computer etc.
However, TouchCopy does not seem to find the "Photo Library" folder. Any clues?

For the new iPhone 5s - is there not an option anymore to edit imessages without deleting the whole stream? There are some things I need to keep within a stream and some not necessary, and it looks as like no editing within a conversation?

Now I also know about pulling the message to the left to see the time stamp. Good to know, although I preferred it being right where I could see it without having to do a swipe or keystroke.

Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear. Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not). But they no longer appear as a recent import. Lots more happens

Lately I've been importing photos from my iPhone to iPhoto and when I attempt to edit them they seem to disappear. Some reappper as a photo stream pic (some as the edited version and some not). But they no longer appear as a recent import. Lots more happens and I'm wondering if it's because I have a 5-year old Mac book or iPhoto is having issues. I'm not happy with disappearing photos especially after I've deleted them from my iphone after importing them to my macbook.
Has anyone experienced similar difficulties and what can I do?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Some notes lost, some notes duplicate

Hi,
i have a problem with my iCloud notes. I sync them via iCloud between my Mac, IPad and IPhone. From time to time i get some duplicate notes with different dates. On each device it is different.
As i cleaned up the Notes i deleted the oldest Version and everything was fine.
Now after a clean Install of Mountain Lion on my Mac some Notes are lost. They were deleted on all devices.
Is there any chance to recover them from my last TimeMachine backup ? Im sure they are also stored local (maybe only temprary) on the Mac.
q
Best Regards
Marco

Thanks for this File Path, but....
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes
even the Notes are stored in the iCloud.
I replaced it with the one from my TimeMachine backup and i got back my BBQ Recipes...phewww
Hope it helps someone..
The Problem is that There Is No Way to Recover an Individual Note or a Group of Notes! It's All Or Nothing!!! I.e. Let's say:
I Accidentally Deleted a Note at 3 PM.
My Most Recent Time Machine Backup was at 1 PM on the same day!
If Restore that Notes Folder from Time Machine, I might get a 2 hours Old Version of the Note that I've Deleted at 3 PM, but I would lose all Other Updates that have occured between 1-3 PM, like
Changes to Other Notes
New Notes
This Problem becomes a lot worse when the Time Frame gets wider! I.E change 1-3 PM to 1-3 Days, Weeks, Months!!!
Apple has to provide us with a Safety Net, like Deleted Notes Folder, ala Mail, iPhoto! Then we can set to Empty that Folder to 30-60-90 Days, or Never!
One should be able to Restore a Single Note or a Group of Notes as easily as Deleted Contacts!
I love having my Notes on Mac, iPad and iPhone, but the lack of such Basic Recovery Option is bad particularly if one is to Trust iCloud for some Important Stuff!!!
I've spoken to some nice folks at Apple Care, and they are looking into this, but so far they haven't offered a solution! I am eagerly awaiting their response and any Feedback here! Thanks In Advance!

I have transferred my iTunes library from windows 7 pc to new windows 8 pc. Music was in alphabetical order by surname but new pc has some by surname some by first name and some not in alphabetical order. How can I get sorted?

Question Hi - I've transferred my iTunes library from windows 7 pc to one with windows 8. My library was in alphabetical order by surname but after transfer is now some by surname, some by first name, and some not in alphabetical order. How do I sort this out and also make sure that new downloads list by surname alphabetically?

Sorting in iTunes is often controlled by selecting different column headings. The sort order for any given column may be further modified by a sort value, e.g. Sort Artist affects the sort order of Artist. If you transferred the library properly all of the metadata should have remained intract and you simply need to select the a column that sorts as you want. If you had to import the library then there is the potential for tagging effects that could mean metadata entered previously didn't import with the media. Note that iTunes has no mechanism for automatically deciding which values are in <Forename> <Surname> order and could therefore be sorted as <Surname> <Forename>. The only automatic process drops leading articles (a/an/the) so that "The Doors" sort under D as "Doors".

Still some 'Not Assigned' in query result

Hi,
In fact, I've built a query on a multiprovider ( 1 Cube + 1 ODS )
The ODS and the Cube are joined by the material (0material).
The Cube and the ODS are well filled. Queries on each Infoprovider correctly display the results.
When I launch my query on the Multiprovider, it seems the "joined" between the 2 infoproviders doesn't work as
I've still some '#' / 'Not Assigned' value in the query result, and it should give me a result.
In fact the data from the ODS aren't retrieved, they are replaced by '#'. And I don't why ?
Please help.
Thx a lot,
Erwan

Yes you are right.
I made a mistake in my explanation.
But the problem is that the characteristics from the ODS aren't displayed though the characteristic from the cube are correctly displayed.
eg.
In the ODS I've :
( Material, ZCHAR )
'ART01' '315'
'ART02' '412'
'ART03' '999'
In my Cube I've :
'ART01' '12,36' '59,00' '30 ST'
'ART02' '12,96' '89,00' '40 ST'
In the query(on the multiprovider) result I've :
( Material, ZCHAR, other values...)
'ART01' '#' 'Not assigned' '12,36' '59,00' '30 ST'

I want to add the oriental scale or detune some notes while playing - garageband.

Hello,
I want your help in teaching me how to add an oriental scale in the latest garageband version, I want to play middle estern music but that wont happen unless some notes are de-tuned, If i can't add a scale, could some keys be detuned perminently? I don't want to detune it or edit it after playing and recording it. I want it to be perminently detuned so i get that sound while playing.
PS: I searched google with no results!.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Christine,
In iMovie's menu go to iMovie>Preferences and, in the General tab, check (tick) the box labelled "Show Advanced Tools".
Drag the picture directly onto a clip approximately where you wish it to appear. As you drop the picture, a pop-up menu will appear. Select "Cutaway". The picture will now appear in place of the video but the original audio will be intact. If you double-click on the Cutaway, the Inspector will open - here you can make adjustments to the Cutaway, such as Opacity and Duration.
John
NOTE: As well as Cutaway, in the pop-up menu there are choices for "Picture in Picture" and "Side by Side". You may prefer to use one of those to show your picture, rather than doing a Cutaway.
