I am looking for a device that will answer phone calls on my Mac. I have had a Phonevalet, and it is great, but it is no longer made.

I am looking for a device that will answer a landline phone. I have a Phonevalet, which answers, takes messages, has call block and is pluged into my Address Book, but it was discontinued, and I would like to add another line. Ovalabs made a similar device, but it also is gone. Is ther a way to use an Apple Modem to take calls? Any other product? The best part of the PhoneValet for me was it would announce the caller ID over my stereo (pluged into my Mac) and I could hear who was calling in my workshop and decide if I wanted to interupt the call.

I know I'm talking about expensive apps, but having been in prepress for about 30 years now, I really don't look at anything other than Quark XPress or InDesign for page layout apps. Your printing vendor will also be much happier with you when you use these products. Some areas of the U.S. tend to be mostly Quark oriented; others, InDesign. Ask your vendor what they would prefer, and if there are any free or cheap alternative apps they'll accept documents from.
Apple's Pages app (part of iWork) is a decent page layout program, but hasn't been updated in four years. It also doesn't support CMYK. If you place a CMYK image in the app, it will export out an RGB version of it. Not good! You can work with RGB images if you prefer, but your CMYK translations will be left to the skill of the print shop you use to do the conversions.
Don't even think about using Word. It has what it calls a page layout option, and does pretty much work like one, but there's no good way to import it into a real layout app such as InDesign. You end up paying the printer for their time to rebuild your entire project in either XPress or InDesign so they can actually do something with it.

Here Drive stuck on 'Looking for GPS"

Running version 3.0.4087.0 on Samsung Ativ S (in Canada). Nokia Drive seems to find my location without any issues for a short period of time. Later when launching it just shows "Looking for GPS" in the status bar and cannot find my location at all.
Location services are turned on for the phone and the app. All other mapping apps on the phone (including Here Maps) find my location very rapidly.
Yesterday I tried uninstalling and re-installing Here Drive but the "Looking for GPS" error is back again today.

Yup, me too. I love the Here Drive (on my Lumia 810), and it's been working perfectly well until last week. Now it's stuck on looking for GPS and showing as start location the place I was last week when I used it the last time.
Please, need to get this fixed! Nokia MAPs work just fine but not HERE Drive.
I have latest updates on both the phone and my Here drive. I uninstalled the app, and re-loaded it yesterday from the app store. Same thing again. Thought it may be due to being inside of the building, went out, changed locations, drove a bit and nope still not working. It's stuck. I've left it running for more than an hour and no luck what so ever.
A colleague with Lumia 920 has the same problem.
Not question of having a case covering the antennas either, his does not have a case, I took mine off the case, and the result is still the same, looking for GPS.
Please get this fixed ASAP!

Looking for a device to control the incoming audio

Hello together,
I use my MacBook Pro as a visual artist, who does audio-reactive stuff.
I usually hook up to the DJ mixer, who provides me with a stereo cinch signal.
But every DJ mixer has a different signal level. And often the DJ gets drunk & turns up the volume during the night.
I'm looking for a device that I can plug between the DJ's cinch cabel and my microphone input jack at my MacBook Pro. A device that shows me the actual signal level via LED or a gauge and let me adjust the audio level. Up or down. To make sure I always have (more or less) the same level reaching my MBP.
I cant open the SysPrefs 10x a night to adjust the audio signal. Plus I want to protect my MBP agains high peak levels.
Maybe something like this microphone thing:
http://behringer.de/MIC100/index.cfm?lang=ENG
Do you have other suggestions?
Kind regards, Jan

Hi,
The item you listed is a pre-amp usually used in conjunction with microphones to provide phantom power (to large diameter mics) and to boost/warm their signal.
From your description, it seems you are looking for an audio interface. An audio interface would convert the incoming signal from analog to digital at the interface, instead of inside the computer, and route the signal into your computer through the firewire or usb (depending on model) port. The advantage is that the AD/DA converter on these units is normally of much higher quality than the one included with the macbook pro and the signal is subject to less interference.
I've linked a unit in the mac store http://store.apple.com/us/product/TQ936Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3MA&mco=MjE2MzAxNw which is very popular, but it's a little pricey considering it's only 2 channel but then, for your application, that's all you'll need. There are cheaper alternatives to be found at music hardware sales websites eg. musiciansfriend.com . Again, you'd search for 'audio interface' for a mac.

I am looking for a device that I can use to record a lecture (2 to 3 hours long or more) and later access to write notes to paper or convert the file to a printable file, is the iPad 2 the device that will do this?

In your reply you stated that iPad microphone is not very sensitive. And that you could hardly hear the play back.
Are you speaking of a speaker's nature voice or an individual using an audio system. Also how close were you to the speaker?

Looking for a "device desktop" type app.

Something that shows my today's appts, my tasks, all on same page. I tend to forget my tasks unless they are front and centre for me every day.
Also looking for a good world clocks application.
Recommendations appreciated!

For the BlackBerry?
Try getting a new theme for the device, look for one that is called a "Today" theme, which includes calendar and task items.
You don't say what model you have, but look at various theme sites, like phttp://www.pimpmyberry.com/

Looking for a device. Need suggestions

Looking for a reasonably priced device that will allow me to plug in at least one usb mic, (ideally 2 in the future), and a headphone jack so two people can listen. I have headphone splitters. I'd like to record right into Garageband. Let me know. Thanks

Looking for GPS wth muliple destination routing. (like Mapquest's route planner)

I am looking for a GPS that I can put in ?? destinations and can continue from one to another. I currently use Mapquest's Route Planner, and then put each destination seperately so I do not have to read while driving. I think there are some available someplace. I can get up to 26 in Mapquest, but, I am looking for something like that.

I am so sorry that no one has provided you with an
answer. I have done some research on this topic and found that most major
manufacturers offer this on their GPS systems. It is know and route/trip
planner or something along those lines. I looked through a few GPS systems and didn’t
see that this option was included in the features. This either means that it is
such a standard feature that they don’t note it, or the models I looked at just
don’t have it.
I would consult with a GPS sales associate at your local
Best Buy® store to see if the unit you are interested in definitely has it. Sorry
again for the delayed response. Please let me know if there is anything else I
can help you with.

SOLVED: Here Drive 'Looking for GPS' Solution!

My original post:
[quote]Have had the same problem since I bought my 520. The GPS never, or rarely worked with any apps. Mostly tried it on Here Drive. Sent back to the store, they examined it, then they sent it to another place in for repair. They couldn't fix it so they again sent it to Nokia Care. The phone came back in 3 weeks and I was told there was no problem with it.
The fascinating part is that it worked for the day when I got it back. Whole day. Then the next day which is today, it doesn't. It's stuck again, completely. In between these days, I installed my apps back: Amazing Weather HD, SSH Pro, Unit Conversion Tool, Scan QR. Could one of the apps interfear with the GPS signal causing it to stop working? I know for a fact that Amazing Weather uses the GPS to get my location. I did a soft reset which deleted the apps and now the navigation works again. Well, still at least. I installed some of the apps back and I'll keep on looking what could cause this.
This problem shouldn't exist.[/quote]
I'm using Lumia 520.
I have managed to solve this issue. Follow these steps in order to get your GPS working again:
1. Backup any data you need
2. Do a soft reset by going to 'about' -> 'reset my phone' (this factory resets your phone, backup needed!)
3. Find the culprit app by installing your store apps back one by one and testing the navigation each time. In my case the culprit was an app called 'Amazing Weather HD' which used GPS to track the location. It messes up the GPS so that navigation no longer finds signal even if the app OR it's background task is NOT on!
4. Do the soft reset again once you have found the culprit, then install everything back except the culprit app. Problem solved!
ATTENTION! It IS NOT enough to just uninstall the culprit app or disable the background task, YOU NEED TO do a soft reset in order to get the GPS working. I have no idea why, but Nokia needs to fix this.
- Nico

True, but it would be useful if Nokia could work out what the rogue app has done and provide a fix which gets GPS going again, without having to reset the phone.
This makes more sense to me as the cause of the problem. Although I don't have that particular app, I have others that use GPS which may have done something similar. But going through that process to find out which app it is will be a pain. There are a few obvious candidates, but having to backup, reset and reinstall everything will take a long time.

Looking for cheap device to view VHS

I've done a quick search through the forums and haven't found an answer yet. I have an old pile of VHS tapes that I need to quickly scan through. I don't know whether there's anything worth saving (or if they have degraded enough to the point where they're no longer viewable), but I need a way to quickly plug in the old VCR into my MBP and casually go through them.
I've noticed a number of cheapie devices on the market. Can anyone recommend one that works well enough to just view them? If I find anything worth of value, I'll spring for better equipment later on (as I don't want to invest in a Grass Valley device at the moment), but for now I just want to go through the stack and put things into a bulk erasure pile as needed.
Thanks.

if you got the vcr, then i'd just hook it up to a tv. you can pick up an older analog, like a 13" or so at a goodwill or salvation army / similar resale shop. they are littered with them. now for converting, elgato makes a basic usb input under $100. the eyetv hybrid costs $50 more, but adds ota hdtv & fm tuner. grass valley is about the only one that still makes a firewire input box that doesn't cost a fortune. blackmagic also has some good stuff. I picked up a matrox mini, but it's an expresscard interface. hope to see some good boxes come out for this thunderbolt port...

Little progress = still looking for usb devices

hey there. i am running Arch w/ 2..6.7
my usb system seems to be jaxed up. xcdroast did not find my usb cd/writer and although gtkam selects the right camera for my usb camera, it gives me an error like
"cannot list folders in / " -
i may have some kernel modules that still need to load but i dont know which ones.
any help here would be great. How do you get usb working in Arch ? thanks all

ok, well i got the usb camera working. Google prodced this, modprobe ochi-hcd. so i did that and added it to rc.conf and now the camera works ok. still think i am going to go for digikam though. he he.
the CDRW is a TDK usb one. Its usb 2 but i think that my motherboard usb port is only usb 1.
It works fine in Debian ( which i got rid of for Arch ) and thats cool. This is the last piece of hardware now i have yet to get going.
the google results also suggested loading echi-hcd but when i tried the messsage i got was "could not find module echi_hcd.

Nokia Maps looking for Bluetooth

Hi
My Nokia maps (2.0 and 3.0) keeps searching for bluetooth devices. Even if I select a bluetooth device it keeps looking for other devices.
Can anyone help me change this? I don't know how to change it in maps or in bluetooth settings.
Thanks

Your Nokia Maps is actually looking for a bluetooth external GPS reveiver and not just any bluetooth device. In order for it to stop serching, you have to disable bluetooth GPS. In order to do this, from the phones main menu, goto Tools>Settings>General>Positioning>Positioning methods. Untick/disable Bluetooth GPS.
