Mix reactions with N8 - Solutions needed

Hi,
I have been using the N8 now for the last 20 days. The journey has been mostly pleasing but I found some nagging issues, when I was travelling in the US and Germany:
1. Data connectivity works perfectly in Finland, did not work in Germany and the US - whenever it tries to connect to the internet, it says "Authorization Failed". Does this mean I have a problem with my operator? With my E71, I have never had this problem.
2. In the absence of a data connectivity, GPS and almost everything is sluggish in the phone. GPS lock takes a long time as well.
3. Accuweather never auto updates (even in Finland), always requires a manual update
4. Even when the wifi access point is known, it never connected automatically, again the moment I came home in Finland everything worked. 
5. The charging led went on suddenly when I was in the middle of a trade show (no I was not charging the phone at all), and restart was needed.
6. General slowness from the time I press the unlock key to the time the phone gets unlocked ( a 3-4 seconds delay).
Any idea if these are related to the HW of the particular unit, should I get it verified at Nokia (got it from the flagship store in Finland),
Am I missing something, atleast I feel that my settings are wrong (but them it worked in Texas, did not very at all in Manhattan),
Cheers

Wifi on N8 needs some work. I disable subsystem name broadcast on my router for security reasons. The N8 asks for subsystem name under the "Other" prompt and then finds it, but it loses it after a short time. So I have to reconnect each time. The worst part is I have to re-enter the subsystem name to re-connect!
I finally got so frustrated that I loaded up the "HandyWi" app. It remembers the subsystem name but still loses the connection frequently.
GPS is very sluggish for me too. Sometimes I have to power down/up the phone to get it to locate.

  • Mixing functions with text

    Is there a way to mix functions with text within a formula?
    eg =DATEDIF("21/9/96";NOW();"Y")&DATEDIF("21/9/96";NOW();"YM") produces 183
    How do I parse this formula to produce 18y 3m?
    All my attempts produce a parsing error.
    I'd like to avoid splitting the result into two adjacent cells (my current solution).

    Hi zebadee,
    I adjusted the dates and syntax for my region but this should work once you adjust it back.
    While this gives you the desired result it will not be recognized as a duration in Numbers. If you are looking to use this value as a duration you will need to use weeks.
    Hope this helps.

  • Using an Analogue mixing desk with garageband?

    Hi guys,
    As you can tell i'm really not a techie!
    I'm looking to use a mixing desk with garageband, it's analogue and i have the new macbook pro retina, but I don't know how i could connect it to my mac. I need it for recording demos, but firstly will it be compatible? I dont wanna have to spend £90 on a pricey iRig when i already have a perfectly good Roland vs1680 sat here. Also, would I be able to use it to convert my guitar sound and output MIDI synthesised sounds from my mac to my Line 6 Amplifier?
    Any help is appreciated,
    Blake

    unfortunately I do not have a second mac (g5 or otherwise as I sold it when I bought new one lol) to try this method. I did notice m-audio had updated there drivers for osx 10.4 but unfortunately these drivers only work for g5/g4/g3 mac and not for the intel mac keyboards so at the moment I do not have a workaround for this problem. I have emailed m-audio and asked for a timeframe for drivers but have not received a response yet so at the moment I am unaware of any usb midi keyboard that works natively for a intel mac which is rather tragic lol as garageband is basically unuseable without a method of inputting midi but hopefully someone will prove me wrong and suggest a solution. On another issue my usb keyboard and mouse had the freezing problem that seems quite common but after a lengthy phonecall to apple I asked for a replacement wireless bluetooth keyboard and mouse which I have received and can report works absolutely perfectly so there may have been a bad batch of usb keyboard/mouse combinations made. Otherwise everything is working perfectly and I am delighted with the new imac

  • 9 days and counting with no solution...thanks verizon

    8/24, all three of my tvs start experiencing pixelation where the screens constantly cut in and out along with the sound.  I try the support center provided through the menu section.  I try all trouble shooting methods and none fix the problem.  The next day 8/25 I call verizon customer support for assistance.  The gentlemen that answers has a thick accent that is very hard to understand when he speaks english so I ask to be transferred to someone who speaks english as their primary langauge.  He indicates that it is impossible for him to do that so I hang up and try again with another call. 
    The second call leads to the next technician testing my line and restarting my tv boxes.  This does not fix the problem so we schedule a technician to come out to my house.  The next available time would be from 4-6pm on Wed (8/28).  I was told the technician would call thirty minutes prior to arriving at my house.  About 5:28pm on 8/28 i recieve a text message that my request was closed.  No one ever showed up at my house and my tvs were still not fixed....I call customer support at 5:48 and ask why my request was closed, I was told that the technician found no one at home so he closed the request...I was at home the entire time anxiously waiting his phone call and arrival.  Without explanation I was told my option was to make a new ticket and schedule another day for service...Needing this problem fixed I have no choice but to schedule another service date so the next available is Fri (8/30) from 2-4pm.  I take off work again and sit at my house for two hours.  I recieve a call from a blocked number at 3:35pm on Friday and the call drops.  Minutes later I receive a voicemail notification.  It's the technician telling me that there are multiple requests for service in my neighborhood so my problem is not isolated to my house.  He said they were aware of the problem and would have it fixed soon so there was no need to come to my house.  
    Now to Sunday morning (9/1), the problem is still not fixed so another call is made to customer support.  I tell the technician the problem and the history.  He doesn't seem to listen to what I have told him and tries to give me steps to troubleshoot the problem.(this troubleshooting had been done 3 previous times)  I ask to speak to a supervisor which he does not want to transfer me to.  Eventually he puts me on through to a supervisor who doesn't listen to my actual problem but just assures me that the technician can troubleshoot the issue. (He cannot because I had already tried to troubleshoot the issue with other technicians) 
    So here I am 9 days from when the problem started with no solution.  No management that can take care of my issue or really seem to want to take care of my issue...Directv here I come!

  • My old computer no longer works.  I want to transfer my music from my Ipod to itunes on my laptop, but now mix it with my wife's music.  How do I do that?

    My old Gateway is dead.  I have saved my 20 gigs of ipod music on an external hard drive. 
    On our Dell laptop, my wife has itunes music installed.  I want to add my music and use itunes to add more,etc., but I want to keep it separate from her music. 
    First, how can I transfer my music from the external hard drive to itunes, without it affecting her itunes.  Do I  need to set up multiple itunes with separate names, or, as support mentioned, make two playlists.
    If it's the playlist version, how do I make a playlist with my 20 gigs of ipod music?  Thanks, Hup42

    Hey Hup42,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, the best option may be to operate multiple user accounts on your Wife’s computer. The following article outlines this solution, along with another solution of having multiple iTunes libraries:

    Create multiple user accounts
    Do you share your computer with someone who has different tastes in music and media? You can create separate user accounts for each person who uses the computer. You can maintain separate, personalized iTunes libraries and customize each devices' sync settings accordingly.

    Windows users
    Look in your computer's Help documentation to learn how to set up other user accounts. To find this information:
    1. Click the Start Menu and click Help or Help and Support.
    2. Enter "new user" in the Search field.
    3. Press Return.
    If you create multiple user accounts on one computer but want the same media to be available in iTunes for all users, you can share music between different accounts on a single computer.

    Is there a way to create a PDF from outlook e-mail that does not embed the attachment? better, is there a way to convert the e-mail with attachement (not embeded) as pdf pages?
    - Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
    System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

  • Please help with "You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." I have seen other responses on this but am not a techie and would not know how to start with that solution.

    Please help with the message I am receving on startup ""You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
    I have read some of the replies in the Apple Support Communities, but as I am no techie, I would have no idea how I would implement that solution.
    Please help with what I need to type, how, where, etc.
    Many thanks

    I am afraid there is no solution.
    PowerPC refers to the processing chip used by Apple before they transferred to Intel chips. They are very different, and applications written only for PPC Macs cannot work on a Mac running Lion.
    You could contact the developers to see if they have an updated version in the pipeline.

    Cannot auto size columns in iTunes 10.4.  Columns are all mixed up with headings I have never seen. Cannot change by right clicking on columns. Cannot order albums alphabetically by double clicking on heading.

    Very many thanks to you, Putaro!  Your answer provided the solution. It was a buggy plug-in that turned out to be the culprit.
    You're off the hook, Apple, and my apologies for stating that you let a dog run loose. You skated by this time, Apple. But I'm watching you.
    But again, Putaro's reference to the plugins I had installed over the years turned out to illuminate the problem. I have several plugins in my iTunes plugins folder, pretty much all designed to add more visualizer functionality. I removed all of them, and ALL of the problems I noted in my post went away, with full iTunes functionality restored.
    I began adding the plugins back to hopefully single out the culprit. Among the ones I had been using included fielder, G-Force, Timestrech, volcanokit, QuartzComposer, and Jax. I hadn't used any of them in a while - probably at least a verison or more back in iTunes updates, but iTunes continued to work with all of them installed. Currently, only QuartzComposer continues to work in iTunes 10.4. The rest no longer even show up as visualizer opitons, with one exception. Jax does show up, but does not work. AND THE PRESENCE OF JAX IS WHAT KILLED MY ITUNES.
    I looked into it and went back to the developer, and it appears that they discontinued developing Jax some time ago - evidently, it was buggy and crash prone. I remember after buying it, having problems with it - having never worked to its touted potential, but I didn't pursue it, and never uninstalled it. Leaving it in there caused all iTunes functionality to cease with the iTunes 10.4 update.
    If you've got Jax installed, consider removing it before updating to iTunes 10.4.
    My iTunes is now working right as rain, thanks again to Putaro!

  • How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address b

    How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address book. I already have three address books created for me by Thunderbird. I add all new addresses to one of those but am afraid to delete the other address books because some of their addresses are not repeated in my "main" address book. So if I don't delete all the names in one of the existing books, I need to create an empty book that will not mix the addresses with those in another address book. HOW DO I CREATE A NEW, EMPTY ADDRESS BOOK? I want to be able to create various mailing LISTS using the addresses in this new book so I will eventually have a special address book with a variety of mailing lists I can use as I wish.

    In 24.4.0 there is no File|New|Address Book. There is File|New|Address Book Contact. How do I create a new address book ?

    hi
    Just take all required fields to create PO into one internal table . Just use BAPI_PO_CREATE1 function module. In that function module give internal table name. It will create the PO. Extra decorations like error messages and all you need to take care.
    Reward if it helpful.

  • Album mixing in with another album

    downloaded an album and it has mixed in with another one. eg track 1 from one then track 1 from the second track 2 from the 1st then track 2 from the 2nd and so on. So 2 albums have merged into 1 on itunes then transferred onto my ipod as 1 album?

    Any effect you apply to an individual track will only affect THAT TRACK, and none of the others, unless you have applied it in the MASTER TRACK, which will affect all tracks. You should only apply effect to the Master Track that you want to affect ALL tracks. If you only want distortion on a single track, then you need to assign it to only that track, in the track info box, not the Master Track info box. Is that by any chance what you need?

  • My magic trackpad fell yestarday and the start button appeared blocked and now it does not work. Apple is not competent in giving a solution. Only replacement is possible paying a new one. They simply do not repair it. Anyone may help me with a solution?

    My magic trackpad fell yestarday and the switch button appeared blocked and it is not possible to make it working. I contacted Apple support and it is not competent in giving a solution. They only suggest replacement and pay a new one. They simply do not repair it. It is a very poor solution since there would be other solutions. Anyone may help me with a solution?

    Hello folks!!!. I found out a solution. I simply take the start button off with a screwdriver and now the trackpad works properly. Since it initializes automatically when the computer turns on, the magic trackpad works without the need of using the start button. The only drawback is that there is a loss of aesthetic because the trackpad has now a gap, which was occupied by the button, but it is not easy to notice. It seems to be a better solution than that given by the apple customer service, which was to pay a new one.
