N900 has OLD version of maps??? :(
Ok I've had my N900 for 5 days now and so far I'm enjoying it a lot. However I run a minibus company and I used the sat nav feature of my N95 a lot so I was very disappointed to find that the N900 only seems to have version 1 of Maps available for it. Is this likely to change in the near future or have I waited my money moving from the N95 to the N900???
Also the PC based map installer doesn't seem to work either, when I try and run it I put my N900 into mass storage mode as the nokia site advices me to do and map installer just sticks at the waiting for phone stage. If I connect in PC Suite mode map installer complains that either I have installed maps on my phone (I have) or I haven't used maps yet (I have)...what am I missing???
The version on the N900 is of course version 1 because it's a rebuild of the symbian versin which wouldn't run on maemo. You are not wrong that it misses some core features at the moment such as Turn by Turn voice guidance and lcating contacts addresses though.
We (all N900 owners) hope that Nokia do up the ante and create the full version but until then I have retained my E75 with full TbT for satnav purposes!
There are ways to get the map installer functioning. Can't remember off the top of my head but a quick search on here or more likely maemo.org forums should uncover something!

How do I clean up iTunes Mobile Applications folder that has old versions of apps?
I am using the latest iTunes 11.0.3 on my recently new iMac. Previously I had iTunes on my MacPro. The media folder was located on one of the extra (non-boot) volumes on the MacPro (MP). When I got my iMac I changed (in the Advanced section of Preferences) the location of the media folder to point to the same folder on the MP volume as I had been using. Everything seems to work fine. I can plug in my iPhone 4s and sync which goes thru a backup step.
I was then poking around in the iTunes media folder on the MP and found that the Mobile Applications (MA) folder was full of older versions of the apps on my iPhone. They dated back to 2009, 2010 and most were 2011. A few were 2012 or 2013. I would like to get rid of the old versions as they take up space. Being that old I doubt they are useful for anything anyway. But my question is how?
I have read and searched for other threads on this topic and have not found a solution. It appears that iTunes is supposed to toss old versions into the trash. I suspect it is doing that now but for some reason has lost track of these older version. The problem here is I don't know what happened.
My inclination is to take all these app .ipa files and dump them... then do an iPhone sync and have it repopulate this MA folder. But I wasn't sure iTunes would do that. So I selected one app that is currently installed on my iPhone, found several older .ipa files in the MA folder that correspond to that app and deleted all of them. I then sync'd my iPhone and watched it go thru the Backup step. When it was done I checked my MA folder but it still had NO .ipa file for that app. Why is that? To make sure the backup step didn't place it someone unexpected, I did a system wide search for that app name (the core part of the name, not including any version numbers, etc) but it found only one match. It was old (2011) located on an all-together different MA folder so did not come from this iPhone sync.
I wish someone would clearly document what goes on during an iPhone sync when the backup location is iTunes (not iCloud). Does iTunes store the current version of each app in the MA folder? I didn't see that happen in my example above.
What does it mean to remove all .ipa files from your MA folder? It would seem that it doesn't matter EXCEPT for apps no longer available in the App Store. Otherwise I could re-install them, right?
What can I delete safely without ill consequences?
How can i indentify what to remove if I should keep the latest version around?
Help would be appreciated.
To be clear:
* I use iTunes to store my Backups, not iCloud.
* I have used Consolidate after making sure that Keep iTunes Media Folder Organizaed is checked and Copy File to iTunes Media folder is checked. It did not help here.
* Given the dates of the .ipa files in my MA folder, this problem pre-dated my recent addition of my iMac.
* I believe I'm using a new local (to my iMac) iTunes library file but my media folder is on the MP as described above. When I access iTunes app on my MP it too accesses the same media folder. It is used primarily for adding music and movies to, not iPhone apps as I now sync on the iMac.ITunes has been a disaster for me. It is filled with all sorts of things and there is no way to reorganize any of it. I'm forced to use iTunes because I have an iPhone but the experience has convinced me that it is best to avoid Apple products and I would recommend that course for others.
The operative word here is "avoid." For products like the iPhone and iPad for which Apple has a superior product there is no choice. The problem is Apple control. That means that everything is compatible with everything else which is good. It also means that everything is limited to products that serve Apple's bottom line, which is questionable.
Hopefully, now that Apple's creative genius has sadly left us, other companies will step forward to create products that will allow us to avoid the complications of Apple. I have found iTunes to be the principal complication. iTunes regularly updates itself, practically every Sunday, and then I have to restart my computer which interrupts all the tasks that I have underway.
Despite all these updates I don't use iTunes except for the iPhone and even that is problematic. The entire experience makes me glad that I don't have an Apple since it must be very difficult for Apple users to work with Apple constantly demanding updates and restarts and proprietary software and the like.
If you're not an Apple customer, but you've been listening their hype with their execs pacing a stage clad in jeans, then read this and heed. My experience with iTunes is a warning for all. Watch out. Apple is not your friend. It's a corporation bent on control, monopoly power and coerced profiteering. We may all soon need nets to save us when Apple drives us out the window. -
XI Message Mapping - Old version gets picked up
Hi All,
I changed XI message mapping in my BPM. Sometimes changed mapping gets called and things work correctly. However, most of the times, older version of mapping gets called and program works the old way.
I refreshed the cache in SXI_CACHE. But the problem is persisting.
Does anyone has any idea why this is happening and how to correct this?
Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Regards,
Riyazpls look at this doc page # 13 & 14.. u can understand abt the cache better..

i have old ipod touch which has software version 1.1.5 i would like to know which version i can update in that and ipod and how
You probably have a 1G ipod. To get the latest iOS for that mode go to:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
It is a paid update. You may have to use a different browser to get the sublink to work correctly.
Go here to identify your iPod:

The 2G can go to 4.2.1. -

You mean for Office apps? That, I don't know for sure as I don't use MS Office on my Mac. I would check to see if there is some sort of MS Office uninstaller that needs to be run before dragging the icons to Trash. Either from one of the Office apps Help or About or search the Internet for a solution.

After much consideration, today I decided to join Adobe Photoshop CC only to discover it is not available to me as my laptop has Windows Vista. What are my options other than having to buy a new computer or an old version like Ps5 or 6?
1-Do some more reading about a Windows "upgrade version" which, according to my experience, does NOT require you to format your drive... it upgrades over what you have, without disturbing installed programs... at least that is what happened the ONE time I installed an upgrade version, so I can't give a 100% assurance it will work that way with your computer... search link for all things Microsoft http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
2-Depending on the hardware you have, you may not be able to run CC programs well, if at all
3-CS6 is 3+ years old and is the ONLY non-CC version still being sold... unless you can find a "legal" CS5 somewhere

My old version of Outlook Express has gained several problems. It is time to change, will these errors be imported into a new Thunderbird account. I'm hoping that all would be well based on the belief that the two programmes are totally different.
You're not saying what problems you have with OE, so how should anyone guess?
There is no such thing as a 'Thunderbird account'. You do have an account with your email provider. You can use OE or Thunderbird to access that account.
But Thunderbird is not your email provider. -
The Yahoo password in the mail setting on all my apple devices - iPad, iPhone 5, mini iPad - has permanently reverted to an old version. I have tried all the suggestions provided by the community so far but nothing works. When I delete the account and re-enter the details, the updated password is recognised and seems to save but, when I go back into the account, the old password is the one that is there.
I am desperate! How can I solve this issue please?See:

File has reverted back to old version
Hi,
I opened up an excel spreadsheet and somehow it has reverted back to the original old version that I first made in 2012, I have no idea why it did this.
Normally this wouldn't be a problem as I have saved it multiple times and I back up my mac regularly using time machine, but for some reason all of the versions of this in time machine have saved as this old original from 2012?! I read and edit this spreadsheet at least 2 times a week and have now lost 2 years worth of updates, has anyone had this happen to them before or managed to retrieve any information?
Thanks for any help!Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and sign back in
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I upgraded the Pages version on my iPad and iPhone some weeks ago. The App has not synced previous data on both AND it's unstable on both. Luckily I didn't upgrade on my Mac where the old version is working ok!
You need the new versions of both to sync data between them. If you don't have the new versions on your Mac, they will not sync.
BTW, the new versions do NOT overwrite the old on Mac. When you install them, the old versions are retained. -
I saw that the new version of firefox had come out, and I was prompted to download it. Version 4.0 asked me if it could replace the old version and I said yes. When I discovered my operating system would not support v 4.0, I was unable to find where to re-download the old (3.6) version. Currently, Im being forced to use safari. PLEASE HELP!
Previous versions are available here: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
You may also wish to back up your profile for safekeeping prior to rolling back: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles
If you roll back, you will want to change your update regime to make sure you won't automatically update against your wishes. -
Old versions have a down arrow next to the front and back buttons to show all the pages you have visiteed and can return to but the new version does not have this feature
( Windows) right click the arrows and the listing will appear. The change may well be documented somewhere but if so I do not recall where. Presumably other OS such as Mac's will also have the feature using some other shortcut.
If this solves your problem please '''log in''' and then click the solved button, the question and answer will then display in search results and should help others. -

For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
