N9 thinks it's connected to PC all the time
A small but annoying bug again :-/ I can't make backup because my N9 think's it's connected to computer. When I select "settings -> synchronize & backup -> backup" my device reports: "Can't make backup while connected to PC" (or something like that). This hapends also when N9 is NOT connected. Connecting & disconnecting USB cable, rebooting and deleting old backups didn't help... Any clues how to fix this problem?
Solved!

@andresno
did you try to reset the device?
settings/Reset/Restore settings
this will not delete any data on your MyDocs folder, but it will reset all your settings to factory. depending on where your applications were installed to, you may need to reinstall some or all of your applications.
most of the applications store thier data on the /home/user/ folder, which will also not be deleted, so after you reinstall them, if necessary, you should still have the same data on the applications.
in my case, it remembered my safe data, and my game data.
if that doesnt work, you may need to try and reflash your device.

N8 re-connect to wlan all the time.
I have search the forum and it seems that many people have the same problem. However I have not yet found a solution to the problem.
Widgets are set to offline. Datapacket is "only when needed".
Switch to wlan is "manual"
Data use in home country is "Always ask" . It connects without asking anyway!
Email is set up to sync every 30 min. This is not the issue.
I have social 1.2 installed but widgets are set to offline so it doesn't update.
The phone is ALLWAYS connected to wlan. If I tried to disconnect, it reconnects immediately. I can make it work by setting the phone to offline -> remove the access point (home network) -> put it back to online.
If I try to connect to home network via wlan guide now, it says "connection not available". However, if I restart the phone here then I can connect via wlan guide.
This will make the connection work properly. Email will connect when syncing and then disconnect again like it should.
If I restart the phone once more (now the home wlan connection is set up) then I will be back on square one. WLAN connected all the time I refuses to disconnect.
I would like to call this a proper BUG. This has nothing to do with setup.
Does anybody have a solution for this or do I have to wait until Nokia FIXES this?
I'm running PR1.2
regards
/JensI do have the wlan set to a higher priority than packet data. This is the way it should be I believe. I want it to connect via wlan first then packet data if no wlan is available.
I just tried to kill the "xmppservice.exe" process and this solves the problem. However this requires that I buy a 3rd party task manager. So this isn't really a solution. Also this needs to be done each time the phone reboots.
I also noticed that it is not just connected all the time but it is continuously sending data at slow rate.
The question here is really what does the xmppservice do I why does it work when shut down?

Once airport is setup, does it need to be connected via ethernet all the time?
Once airport is setup, does it need to be connected to the router with an ethernet cable all the time?
AirPort Setup....the configuration utility in Mountain Lion...will look at the connection and configure the Express accordingly.
If you have an Ethernet cable connected during the setup, then you will need to leave the Ethernet cable connected after the setup.
If you want the Express to connect using wireless only....then you must configure it using wireless only. -
Nokia 97 wants to connect to intenet all the time
Hello all
I have a problem with my N97 that is eating my nerves.
All the time in a inteval of cca. 5-10 minutes a popup appears on the screen where the phone asks me to which network I want to connect. If I click any connection the connection logo appears in the upper right corner and goes away at the moment.. in 10 minutes the same problem and so on and on and on :/... It's very disturbing because it appears really often and everywhere - if I write sms, call someone,...
Did anybody have the same problem and has anybody an idea how this could be solved.
Thank you for you answers!
Kind Regards, BojanOvi Contacts is now built-in to the main Contacts app. To function properly, it needs an active internet connection so it may be this causing your problem too.
Nokia N8 on O2-UK
Firmware 022.014 -
N8 Tries to connect to net all the time
I've tried everything. I have even deleted the access points in Destinations for all my Celullar data.
This is what I have done (step by step).
Issue - Trying to totally kill Cellular Data connection
Steps taken
1. Switch network to GSM only mode (EDGE will still be available apparently - Whay is that?)
2. Went to Connectivity settings and changed the data usage in Home Netwrok to "WLAN Only"
The double arrow is now gone (no data connection) but I am now getting this error message (as if it's trying to cycle through all the available operators access points settings such as internet, WAP, MMS and Streaming) and since I only allowed WLAN, can't find anything so getting this Connection Failed, Acess Denied box near the Signal bars
So I figured that some widgets or application is trying to access the net.
Steps taken
1. Removed ALL Widgets except the shortcuts and things that I know does not need the net.
Still not working, still getting the Connection error ...
Steps taken
1. Removed the GMail mailbox since there is no option for Manual retrieval for Gmail (what the heck is up with that?)
Still not working - Still getting the error.
Steps taken
1. Rebooted the device and saw that Whatsapp is running automatically from restart. Checked the settings. Yeap, it's setup to look for Cellular Signal. Changed that to Wifi.
Still getting the damn error!!! Maybe need to restart the N8
Now waiting if I am still getting the error .......
Any other apps that I should look into? I've only downloaded like 15 apps since I bought this.
I get a strange feeling that with all this issues I have, I now see the wisdom in Apple Review Process for their App Store. All sort of cow dung is in the Ovi Store and it's causing all sort of grief to the end user.
The pendulum is swinging so far to my iPhone it's not even funny.
EDIT: Just as I post this message, I get the error message again .... seriously Nokia? Come ON!!!! Give me a toggle button to kill Cellular Data and make sure that once that is off, I don't get all sorts of error message.WhatsApp tries to connect to the internet constantly, no matter what you do.
I had it installed and it was doing the same thing, it didn't stop until i uninstalled it. There are other Apps that do this too, but I don't know what they are.
It's not the phones fault that you downloaded an App that requires the internet, and its not Nokia's fault the App requires the internet.
Hit the white star if I have helped you =] -
My 4S will get on internet but will not connect to any site including the App store or I tunes. If I cut Wifi off and go thru Verizon network then it is just fine. It is very slow loading tho. Everyone else in my house connects just fine.
Jglee,
I can understand how connecting to Wi-Fi is very important to maintain better control of your GB. I appreciate all the troubleshooting you have already tried to get this issue corrected. Does your 4s have the most current software? You can check this in setttings: Settings>General>Software Update. Keep us posted. We are here to help.

IPad Retina Problem: Wireless Internet Connection Stops Working All The Time
the wireless would all the sudden stop working. What happen is, I'd be going from one page to another and then BOOM. No more loading, the little circular "loading" icon never ending.
Also happens with iTunes trailers app, in general all the wifi.
What i've already tried:
Performing a full ipad restoration (as new restoration). I dont have issues with my ipod touch 5 or my galaxy sIII or my pc's, so i assume the ipad retina is faulty?Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Airport Express and iMac connection cuts out all the time
I have an Airport Express set to 802.11n with b and g compatibility. It is connected to a DSL modem with a static IP address via an Ethernet cable. I use a MacBook Air in the same room as the AE. In another room, I have a 24" iMac (Intel). The iMac is always connected to the AE network as is the MBA. Everytime I make a connection to the iMac (via Screen Sharing or other), the connection cuts out after awhile. There is no interference with the iMac connection, the AE is using a channel no one else around me is using, it just suddenly stops receiving any packets from the AE. I have to open Safari, wait for a website not to load, click on the Network Diagnostic button, go through the reconnection process to the AE network and then it comes back and tells me all is OK. The energy saver is set so the computer never falls to sleep and it is not related to the screen saver coming on.
It just stops sending data to the iMac. All firmware and software are up to date. I have the same problem when using Back to My Mac outside the home. Sometimes I can connect and sometimes I can't.
Can anyone help?Hi, Thanks for the suggestions. Here are the answers to your questions:
Channel selection is on Automatic. I have tried switching channels on both my DSL router (and it doesn't go to the channel I select!) and on the AE. Performance is the same.
iMac still drops connection even if MBA is not logged onto the network.
Screen Sharing's performance is poor, even if iMac is receiving other internet data (Safari or iTunes downloads)
MBA always has a good connection
Each machine is using 10.5.5. This problem exists only in the last couple of months when my DSL provider (all Linux) changed some of their configurations.
I will try to do the terminal exercise today. So far this am and last night, no dropped connections. Go figure! -
during the update of my iPad some error report came and after that it is not working. i have tried pressing the off key and home key at the same time. i also reinstalled the iTunes bt it is not showing any results.
please let me know what to do?If you are seeing the "connect to iTunes" message - You probably need to restore your iPad using Recovery Mode. Here are the instructions.

my phone thinks that it is connected to a dock all the time and wont play ringtones or any other sound. I know that the speakers work because it will randomly play sound but for a very short amount of time and just recently stopped making sounds all together. the phone is almost brand new and has no damage I just bought it a few months ago. What can I do to fix the problem?
Clean iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. See if better. If not, clean again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. See if better. If not, try Restore. If still a problem, and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

I attempted to update my iphone 3 using itunes. I'm not certain but I believe I did a backup on my pc first. I am now unable to use the phone at all - the slide bar won't move and I have a camera icon next to the slide bar which is not responsive. I have tried to sync and even left the phone connected to the pc overnight. The phone is going flat within a couple of hours and won't stop beeping every few seconds and seems to be syncing all the time, even when disconnected from pc. I am fearful that I have lost all my contacts - nothing is working - can anyone help - please?
Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release. If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it. If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup. They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices. However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists. -
Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?
Hello. I can say that you have a quite strange „huge question”… It’s non-sense to stay connected with your car which is hundreds miles away. Unless…
I have a theory. You don’t want to controll your car, you want to controll somebody who is driving the car. Volvo XC 60 is a nice family car, usually used by married men between age of 35-45, probably with small children, so it’s very unlikely that you want to controll your teanage kid, mainly because probably even if you would give him/her to drive the car in the neighborhoud, I don’t think that he/she would be „several hundred miles away”… If your child is not young teneage anymore, and he/she has his/her own life, but you want to control him/her, that is sick… So I am convinced that you want to controll your husband who probably travelling often! Am I wright?
Isnt’t nice at all! Would you like if you would be monitorized in such way? I bet you don’t!
Anyway, iPhone is smart, you can use for many things, but come on, you really were thinking that there is such kind of application???
What could you do it's to put in the car a GPS survelling system, however I don't think that you could do it without your husband knowledge, otherwise he won't be able to start the engine... -
I think my computer has a virus, when I get on the Internet, ads will pop up all the time, I think it is called adware? Also pages will pop up saying something along the lines of my computer is at risk for some security issue. What should I do?
Remove Browser Pop-up Problems
AdwareMedic
Adblock Plus 1.8.9
remove adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and AdwareMedic. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.
