N8 frozen at start-up on 2nd day after Nokia Belle...
Hello,
I bought my phone in Aug 2011. Have been enjoying it for over 6 months now. Updated to Symbian Anna in Oct 2011 (I think) and been using it without any issues. Yesterday afternoon I updated to Nokia Belle, installation was successfull, no issues at all, spent the rest of the day customizing the phone n stuff.. Today evening, while listening to the songs, the phone suddenly restarted, but it wouldn't start up now.. That Nokia hand-shaking animation comes and after that phone is just frozen with the screen showing only the wallpaper, nothing else, no menus, no icons, nothing! In the Notification area on the top, I see "Offline" (coz I removed the sim card), network icon with a "x" next to it and an empty bettery icon. I don't see why the battery would be empty coz before I started listening to the songs, it was 50% and so I was charging it while listening to the songs. Now since about 2 hours I've been trying to switch off the phone and start it, but no use.. It restarts n is stuck on that wallpaper. The backlight of the menu button is on for a few seconds after restart, but then it goes off and even if I tap on the screen or toggle the lock key, nothing happens. I have already tried "hard reset" as given on one link I found on google.. http://mynokiablog.com/2010/10/12/how-to-hard-reset-your-nokia-n8/comment-page-2/#comments
Another thing I found is something about "XXXXXX Software" on this site -
Has anyone tried it? Would it help in my situation?
Please tell me what to do? Is there anything else I can try? I have some private data on phone, so I'm a little hesitant of giving it to service centre. Is there any way to format the data or something. I tried connecting the USB, while the phone is in that frozen state, but it doesn't get recognized on computer. Please help!

I successfully used Advanced Device Locks Pro, and later Security lock on my previous phones (N86/N82). Recently I bought from Nokia Store the newest version of SL. It worked on Symbian Anna without problems. After Belle update I got after few reboots serious problem... Phone Menu could not be accessed in any way. Failure resulted 4 times, so I'm now convinced that it is caused just by the SL application.
Now I have returned all the applications that I previously used, (except SL) and the phone works, and it can be run repeatedly. I found out that Security Lock is obviously incompatible with the current v. of Symbian Belle. Diagnosis and identification of the problem required 4 times triple code format included FW reinstallation.
The problem itself: after installing Security lock on the N8-00 Symbian Belle a phone restart was done correctly. After another reboot, or simply switch off the phone with active Security lock protection, only a blank window appeared with a basic wallpaper without any context menu options or the possibility of inserting security code.
The phone did not respond to any touch, soft keys were not initialized at all, only turning off using 10 sec. long press was possible. There was absolutely nothing to help. I tried to uninstall the application through PC Suite, but it was protected against the uninstall by a computer. Removing other programs in that way works. So the advantage of the security application turned against the user, and I managed to solve the problem only using triple code. I tried to describe the problem as precisely as possible, I hope you manage to solve these difficulties. In addition, I installed the current Belle v. 111.030.0609 on absolutely clean formatted phone without any data from the previous applications in *sys and * private folders.

I cannot log on to my Comcast e-mail from my IMac anymore. This is a new issue, recently I had to delete cookies from my system in order so my email wasn’t frozen, but over the past few days it has went from bad to worse. I am able to enter my login information, but it just goes right back to the home page. Any suggestions…maybe I deleted something else in the process.
OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount..... -
For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps. I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together. Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail. Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.
Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck! -
It does happen when I have multiple tabs open, but I generally have a LOT of tabs open so this is not new behavior from my browsing, Firefox is just not handling it anymore. All of this started with the 2nd-to-last Firefox update -- I refuse to do the new update because I'll lose an invaluable --to me-- add-on, ljlogin
Are you sure the multi-links icon on the bottom bar of your firefox window is enabled (ie not greyed out)?

I created one apple I'd when I started using the iPad. After some days, I had to create a new apple id
as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple Id is appearing. Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.Anything you downloaded with the first Apple Id will forever be tied to it, and will always require it to update.
The question here is, why did you think you needed to create a new Apple ID? What was the problem with the first one?
To get rid of th old one, you'll need to delete everything you downloaded with it, and then sign out of the ID in several places around the iPad.
Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign out.
Repeat the process, for Facetime, Messages, Mail and any other App you need to sign out of. -
I bought this nice BB Storm2 GSM Phone from one of the direct Verizon's own stores in Hazlet, NJ (Route 35), because I was in need of making calls from abroad to US and other places on business and personal calls. The unit was working fine on the 1st day, and while I was traveling on the 2nd day in Paris - it simply stopped working!...
(* I have a small bit of ditsy/bitsy doubt that they gave me an old one...But I am not sure...and now I cannot even prove it to them! - but don't know what to do and get exchange for a brand new - sealed one!
First, I thought the battery must have drained out (although I was suspicious because I just charged fully the day I bought it and I hardly made a few calls only).
Then, I took the battery out and cleaned and waited for some time...3-5 minutes...and then I put it back. It did not make any difference.
The phone seems to be kind of getting some charge..The screen is trying to light itself showing the bottom buttons as if they are ready to operate...But the screen is completely blank...nothing is coming no matter what button I press...
I tried several time regarding the battery exercise...But still nothing has changes..My cell is just 2 days old..And this high-tech...freaking device is giving me problems. Now I am traveling all over the places and I don't even have any phone.
Shame on BB,...Very poor quality! They look pretty ,..but don't deliver real service
Dont know what do do and get help from Verizon. Any body can shed some light...what to do if I am outside the US on a business trip.Try this, put a small strip of something like a Manila folder cut to battery's thickness so you can get the bat. door back on the back edge of battery and see if that creates enough pressure on bat. to work. I remember a problem when the S2 first came out that the battery's were a hair to short and kept causing the S2 to reboot.

Events past midnight, now showing up with start time on BOTH days.
If you have an event on one day that goes past midnight, iCal now puts the event on both days with the same start time on both days. How do I stop this and have it only show the start time on the First day (like it did before Mountain Lion)?
Hi -
Thanks for doing that. I clicked on the annotations, nothing happened, was I supposed to see additional stuff or are they just markers? I just see text balloons now.

As far as the filter, I am just using the built in filter to FCE.
OK, so you are basically replicating the clip on V1 on V2 and applying a blur, then using the crop tools to constrain the blur to the area that you wanted blurred - so that the blur is the only visible part of V2, the rest of V2 has been cropped transparent and is just showing through to V1 below?
OK, click on V3 and type Control - B to temporally hide the clip. Does the effect work for masking the first ID, all through the clip?
Now click on V3 again and type Control - B to re-enable the clip so that it is visible.
So on V3 you replicated the clip on V1 to V3, and applying a blur, then using the crop tools to constrain the blur to the area that you wanted blurred - so that the blur is the only visible part of V3, the rest of V3 has been cropped transparent and is just showing through to V1 and V2 below?
If you did it that way - should work.
Let me know if I don't understand what you are doing.
thanks

Recurring task to start on a certain day. Delay Problems
Hi,
Is there a way you can insert lag time but ensure that the next task will only start on the next available day of either a Monday or a Friday. currently
i am having to manually change the dates of a recurring task if i am delayed in the processes running up to the task. so if the task previous was finishing on a Sunday, the task next would start that next day on a Monday. Though if the task was delayed a day
it would obviously run into Monday meaning the next task could not start till the Friday. The task in question needs to be done Monday and Friday so adding lags just pushes the dates out and i have to manually remedy this which is time consuming.
Any help is greatly appreciatedLeep18,
There are a couple of ways to insure a task starts on a particular day, and you're right, using lag time is not a good way.
The first way is to set up a custom calendar that has only Monday and Friday as work days. Then set up a one minute duration task that is the successor of the driving task and assign the custom calendar to the one minute task. Use the one minute task as
the predecessor to the task that can only start on Monday or Friday. The one minute task will control the timing (i.e. Monday or Friday start) but once the one minute task is "triggered" it will set the start of the next task, which once started,
will continue through completion. The disadvantage of this approach is that the successor task will start at 8:01 AM instead of the default 8:00 AM.
The second way to do this is with VBA. The following macro will insure a successor task, marked by setting the Flag1 field, always starts on the next Monday or Friday at the beginning of a work day.
'This macro ensures all selected tasks can only be started on a Monday or Friday
' at the default project start time
' Tasks are selected by setting Flag1. Note: this procedure does leave a

'determine required shift in start time based on current start
If WkD = 4 Or WkD = 7 Then DOffset = 2: OFlag = True
If WkD = 5 Or WkD = 11 Then DOffset = 1: OFlag = True
If WkD = 3 Or (6 And (Hour(t.Start) <> Hour(StartTime))) Then DOffset = 3: OFlag = True
If WkD = 2 And (Hour(t.Start) <> Hour(StartTime)) Then DOffset = 4: OFlag = True
'shift the task start to the next Monday or Friday at the default start time
If OFlag = True Then t.Start = DateValue(DateAdd("d", DOffset, t.Start)) & " " & StartTime

Next t

I started getting messages 3 days ago that my Safari cannot establish a secure connection to Facebook, and it will not open that website. It worked fine for years before this occurred 3 days ago, what can I do to fix it? OS 10.8.3, Safari 6.0.4
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If nothing above helped, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall. -
The odd thing is that it is an on and off issue, meaning that sometimes the scrollbar distorts when scrolling, and sometimes it doesn't, and it started doing this about 2 days after updating. It didn't start immediately, which I find kind of odd. Is this just a graphical glitch? I'm pretty sure it is. I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.3.
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.'' -
How to set task to start on the same day its predecessor ends
I want my tasks with depdencies to start on the same day that its predecessor ends.
This is what I want for example (note differences in bold):
Task 1
Start-Finish Date: 3/3 - 3/5
Task 2
Start-Finish Date: 3/5 - 3/6
Predecessor: Task 1
This is what MS Project sets it as default:
Task 1
Duration: 3/3 - 3/5
Task 2
Duration: 3/6 - 3/7
Predecessor: Task 1
How do I change this? Sorry, the bold doesnt work on this forum (Not sure why MS did this)
MS Project 2013Hello,<o:p></o:p>
Please change the date format to show time, which will help to show start time and end
time along with dates. You can add time using below steps.<o:p></o:p>
Project 2010/2013: Click on File >> Options >> under general tab select the date format to show date and time<o:p></o:p>
Project 2007: Tools >> Options >> View >> Date Format<o:p></o:p>
By default task start time is 8 AM and end time is 5 PM. So if Task 1 finish date is 3.6 5:00 PM then the next task will start on next day 8 AM.<o:p></o:p>
You can change the duration of task1 to 1.5 days which will help to end the task on 3.6
12:00 PM and then the task2 will start on same day. <o:p></o:p>
I would not recommend changing the start and end date/time for task manually
as doing that will add constraint to the tasks. Instead of that you should change the duration for tasks and let MS Project calculate the dates for tasks.<o:p></o:p>
Hope this helps.<o:p></o:p>
Thank you,<o:p></o:p>

CNET Reports: iCloud our for 2nd Day....
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57511311-263/icloud-outage-affecting-users- for-two-days-running/
Here is an article I found on Cnet, that reports iCloud being down for 2nd day, with no explanation of why, or when it will be back up.
I am posting this so you won't think it's YOUR computer.Praise goes to Anthony Rayner_ (http://anthonyrayner.blogspot.com/) for a very instructive blog and smooth example applications.
Anyway, found out what the problem is: Some of my columns are derived from LOVs. In the column 'Report properties > List of Values > Column filter type' my default was 'Use defined list of values to filter exact match', so always all lov entries are available as filters. With e.g. 'Default based on Column type', the application now actually only states values present in the current (potentially pre-filtered) view.
I guess sometimes it is easy... :-/
Thanks for the help offered. Nice to see this forum working so smoothly
BR,
