N900 N97 fair trade in campaign starts here

Seeing as so many users are unhappy with their N97's myself personally included (but ive persevered)
despite having to reboot,hard reset,missing music files,missing artwork,backups not working,scratched camera lens,countless hours spent on forums trying to solve issues and hundred of hours of my spare time
and basically the product was launched in no fit state for commercial use and even now after the latest firmware still has software issues and bugs hows about someone from Nokia saying fairs fair we havent handled this situation well why not let N97 users exchange/trade in their n97's against a N900 which I am presuming has been beta tested better
as a loyal nokia customer I would happily pay an admin charge for this service somewhere between £50 and £100
which i think is a fair compromise bearing in mind the new n900 is launching for about the same price as the N97 did and the fact that the N97 mini is cheaper and has more ram !!
The campaign for nokia to do this starts here lets get lots of supportand take it to nokia

remember when the N95 first came out?it was buggy as hell compared to my grandma's attic..:manvery-happy:
I had one... Actually I still have one. N95-1, silver with a plum back.
I was an early adopter of that. It might have had bugs, but all the functions worked. It was quirky and used to eat the battery. That's okay, I can work with that, just had a spare charger in the office. Later firmware solved the battery eating habit.
The N97 however was quirky for me with V11 and V12... Fine, I've lived with that before, no show stoppers. V20 is a whole new kettle of fish... It's terrible. They made album artwork work in music player, and broke the player for me! I can't control the volume of mp3 playback (if it will even start the app without throwing one of a selection of error messages, including "USB Attached!", "Out of memory" or "System Error").
I did a complete wipe and reinstall V2.00.19, once finished I connect to my wifi and OVI Store app says it needs to update... Fine, do it I say... It then throws up and error "Unable to download nnnnn.sisx". Repeated via phone data connection... This is a fresh reload with formatted mass memory!
I eventually had to change the HTTP User Agent on my browser to pretend to be an N97 browser to download the new sisx with my PC and then install it with PC Suite.
I now have the N95 in my pocket to use as my mp3 player! At least the handsfree kit fits both.
I should have learnt... I never upgrade windows version until SP1 comes out, I shouldn't have gone to V20 until V21 appeared. I just didn't think it could have more quirks than V12... Well I guess it doesn't. Most of the quirks have gone... It just has howling bugs!

Nokia do have too many handsets and I disagree with Sapporobaby as they actually use three or four mobile OS's which have to be developed for numerous differently configured devices. This causes all of the problems with the firmware upon release of a new device and just when Nokia have most of the bugs ironed out they move onto the next device only to have to start all over again. Apple only have one mobile OS supporting the iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch and a few legacy devices so when they roll out a new model their developers can focus on resolving issues in just one device. Don't get me wrong, I know iPhones are not perfect but Nokia could learn a lot from the way Apple develops software and services and good quality hardware will only get you so far in this market. Even in this area Nokia have been dropping the ball lately with poorly designed/manufactured devices like the N97 (lack of RAM, lack of c: drive, self-harming camera lens, poor GPS antennae, etc...)
So matt please don't chastise Nokia users with a Mac just because you got chastised by some apple fanboys.

Hey froschy,
Long time mate. Hope things are going better with the N97 than before. I think I did not explain my position well, but actually I agree with everything you wrote. What I was trying to say is that while Nokia has multiple operating systems, they release hundreds of phones that share the same OS, i.e. E71, E90 or N85 and N86 and so on. Nokia can easily create a generic plugin across the board for these OS's with little or no effort but they have not done so. The fact that the N97 was (and still is a disaster in my opinion) should be proof positive to the Mac community that they are wasting their time on Nokia products. Or, they should realize that Nokia does not really care much for them and they should adjust accordingly. As I stated, I posted that the Mac community should forgo the N97 Mini until it is proven that there is support for this phone. Surely the N97 fiasco is a waking call that Nokia does not care about Mac, or at least not much. Any Mac user that purchases a Nokia phone without checking for support first has only him or herself to blame and should not come here complaining. There is a proven track record of incompetence on Nokia's part to look back on.

I bought a second hand Macbook Pro and colorful stud
Only after a few months I decided to reformat it
Bad movie started here I did not get it with a disc and I come to install the operating system
And he asks the name of Apple's user ID financed had been bought Lion OS Now
And who sold me does not answer then I found the phone number of his mother
She said he lived in USA and paid him more than the lion version of the MacBook and now I can not install Lion
And I'm not from USA

Unless you go back to the original owner, yes you need to pay for it again.
You're entitled to the OS that shipped with the device from Apple, but if you don't have that media there's nothing you can really do. If the system originally shipped with 10.7 or 10.8 then when you boot it to Internet Recovery, it will automatically offer you that OS version (as the serial # is registered with Apple). If it shipped with an older OS, then you need to enter the Apple ID that purchased 10.7 or 10.8. You didn't purchase it so that's not you.
The options you have are to buy Lion for $29 US (I don't know the price in Palestine), or Mountain Lion for $19 US (don't know the price in Palestine either), and install from scratch.
And it's a good idea to know you have restore media before you reformat your machine.

Illustrator CS2 and InDesign CS2 not starting - here is how it was solved.

This document is merely a compilation of information found at the sources named at the bottom of this document.
Basically running older Adobe CS2 Software on a MacBook Pro 10.6.x Snow Leopard - probably like many of you that either can't afford the upgrade to CS3, CS4 or CS5, or maybe don't see the need to do so. It's running good but it is slow since it is using Rosetta, but it does work - well, used to work.
Illustrator CS2, InDesign CS2, Photoshop CS2, etc. were all running fine after the upgrade to Snow Leopard (under 10.6, 10.6.1 and 10.6.2). Then the update to 10.6.3 was installed. At the same time a bunch of other updates - including the Acrobat 8.2 update - were installed. Not really sure what did it, but all of a sudden Illustrator CS2 stopped responding at the start up screen - no longer started up and InDesign CS2 popped the registration/licensing screen. When trying to enter license info on first key press the application quit entirely.
So maybe the 10.6.3 update was the culprit. Never even thought that it could be the Acrobat 8.2/8.2.1 updates. Then I found this thread here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/613287?tstart=0 (good reading)
Which ultimately pointed me the the instructions here:
>start quote from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/534/cpsid_53468.html
Replace the corresponding files present in the “ /Library/Application Support/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/” folder with the one attached to this document.
Download the attached Mac.dmg (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/534/cpsid_53468/attachments/Mac.dmg) file to a machine where the issue is seen.
Close all Adobe applications
Double Click the Mac.dmg file to mount it.
Copy Mac folder from mounted image. Paste it to /Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/.
A message appears to confirm to replace the existing 'Mac' folder. Replace the 'Mac' folder.
Launch Illustrator or InDesign CS or CS 2.
The Mac folder attached to this KB document already has the correct permissions set, so it should not be necessary to complete the steps below. However there may be cases where the permissions for the Mac folder get overwritten. In such a case, the original issue can reoccur. To solve this issue, complete the steps below:
Follow Solution 1 and make sure that all Adobe applications are closed.
Right or Control click and select 'Get Info' on the Mac folder in “ /Library/Application Support/Adobe/TypeSpt/Unicode/Mappings/”, which you have copied from the .dmg file attached to this document.
Verify that under 'Sharing and Permissions' all users listed have no write access
If a change is required, click the padlock symbol and provide your Administrator credentials
Select the user which has Write access and change it to 'Read Only'.
Ensure the user 'Everyone' is set to 'No Access.
To check if the issue has been solved, launch Acrobat 8.2 and then Illustrator or InDesign CS or CS 2.
< end quote
Even after following the instructions still "no love" from Illustrator CS2 or InDesign CS2. InDesign did no longer show the registration screen, but it didn't continue launching, and Illustrator progressed further along in the start up sequence but also never finished launching.
Then I found another article on the adobe site. I am just quoting the part performed and which ultimately did the trick.
>start quote from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/326/326388.html
Steps 1 and 2 are not relevant so no need to do them
3. At the Finder, choose File > Find.
4. TypeAdobeFnt10.lst (Illustrator CS2), select the system drive, and then press Return.
5. Delete all AdobeFnt10.lst files found.
6. Restart the computer.
7. Restart Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new Adobefnt10.lst or AdobeFnt07.lst file.
< end quote
So, this solved the problems at least for the time being. Hope this helps someone else a bit.

Illustrator CS2 stopped working for me on Snow Leopard as well. What it all boiled down to was not to update to 12.0.1. Not sure which release of Snow Leopard I was on when I figured that out but I keep up-to-date, am now at 10.6.6 and CS2 still works fine. I keep getting prompted to update to 12.0.1 from time to time but just cancel it.
I'm fairly sure I was at 12.0.1 already when I moved from Leopard to Snow Leopard and it was that, not a Snow Leopard update, that "broke" CS2 12.0.1. If I remember correctly, if you now try to apply the update, it won't go through with it anyway.

Wife and I share itunes account. How do we save her info and start her own account?

When we first got our iphones, we were told at apple store we could use the same itunes account. We still do. Now with 2 iphones, 2 laptops, ipads, etc. it is a mess with facetime and sharing apps.
How do I save her information and start a new account for her?
Thanks

Your best bet would be to set up a separate Apple ID for her to use with iCloud, Messages, and FaceTime, but continue to use the same iTunes account for purchases (click on the second box "Use one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases" to go directly to the section which outlines how to do this). The reason you would want to continue to use the current ID for iTunes is because all of the purchases made under that ID will be forever tied to that ID - purchases cannot be transferred to another ID:
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support

TOP questions for Nseries devices - start here

My Nseries device is not functioning properly.
Always make sure that you have the latest software version in your Nokia device. You can update the software yourself using Nokia Software Updater, Nokia's free PC software. Learn more and download Nokia Software Updater at
http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/update-your-phone/
If you think your Nokia device needs repair, go to http://www.nokia.com/global/support/locations/ to find authorized Nokia Care Points globally.
How do I know when there is new software available for my Nokia device?
There are several ways to be notified about new sw versions for each Nokia device:
1) Use Nokia Ovi Suite
When you connect your device to a PC which is running Nokia Ovi Suite, you can check the available updates and install them in Software Updates menu of Ovi Suite.
2) Check online
You can easily check the latest available version on the
Nokia Software Update website.
3) Update over-the-air
Many devices allow you to check and install the software updates directly over-the-air by using 3G/GPRS or WLAN data connection. Go to SW Update menu where you can check the available updates and install them. Alternatively, you can type in the command *#0000# and select Options > Check for updates.
Currently Nokia does not publish the expected release dates for new software versions.
What has been updated in each new software version?
Main updates are published on the
Nokia Software Update website.
How can I make my Nokia device's battery last longer?
Here are some of the most common tips. Note that these tips do not apply to all Nokia device models:
Only enable Bluetooth and WLAN when you need them.
Set GPRS connection to "When needed".
Do not leave applications running unnecessarily in the background, e.g. applications which are using GPS or data connection (consuming the battery power).
If using Maps, preload the map data to your device to avoid the downloading of the map data when Maps application is in use.
Set the backlight time-out value to turn off the backlight when the device is not used.
Turn off the notification lights.
What to do if I get the error message "Memory full. Delete or move some data from C: Phone memory"
The device memory is low in this case and you should try to free some memory on your C: drive. Use File Mgr. application to view the contents of the C: phone memory. To get more free space on C: drive, check the following:
Clear the web browser cache to release memory used by the cache.
Move your own files stored on C: drive to memory card or mass memory (if your device has an internal mass memory).
Check that the captured photos are stored on memory card or mass memory, not on C: drive.
Remove applications which are installed in C: phone memory if they are not used, or install them to mass memory if supported by the application
The calendar entries, contacts and notes reside in the phone memory. Remove the objects which are not needed.
If using Nokia N97 device, select Menu > Applications > SW Update and install Memory reorganiser if it is listed in the available updates. Run the program by selecting Menu > Applications > Reorganiser, this will move some of the applications from C: phone memory to E: mass memory.

Very strange - or perhaps not that strange but just another issue.... I tried the Hard Reset code again at this time it worked!!! I'm now re-entering my details and remembering what I didn't back up But if it fixes my issues it will be worth it.
FYI from another fine post I found:
FOR SOFT-RESET:
- at Standby Screen type-in => *#7780#
It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
FOR HARD-RESET:
- at Standby Screen type-in => *#7370#
It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
FOR FLASHING- TOTAL RESTORE: (Do this if your phone does not boot up)
1) Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting it back
2) Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*], Three key [3]
3) switch ON the phone.
4) Do not let go the three keys until you see the WELCOME screen displayed and just let it complete the boot process
if this doesnt help contact Nokia Care Point-> http://europe.nokia.com/A4388379

Is this a fair trade?

My friend wants to trade his MacBook Pro 1.83 GHZ Core Duo with 512 MBs of RAM and a 120 GB hard drive for my MacBook 2.0 GHZ Core Duo with 512 MBs of RAM and 80 GB Hard drive. He says I also need to add 150 dollars on top of that. Does that seem fair? How much is my MacBook on the market? It has only one scratch on the bottom, but besides that, its perfect.

Not necessarily. Some had specific problems with a whine but this problem only affected about 15 percent of the early production model. Subsequent firmware upgrades helped with that problem and increased fans' idle speed to improve cooling. But most of the production were just fine. I have an early production 2.16 GHz model that's been perfect right out of the box, and it's still running perfectly.

N97 system error message when starting Maps

Hi all,
I do get a system error message when starting the maps app.
I know that this is not a new topic but I did not find after intensive search a solution.
- Firmware is updated
- soft reset done
- it seems that the app is not installed
- have deleted the cities folder and the qf file
Unfortunately no change - maps app does not start.
Not sure that this is important but I want to mention this for the sake of completeness:
- the maps did work once
- when I started them the next day and I was at a different location it still showed the location of the previous evening abnd did not recognize where the phone was
- after some time I could not start the the maps app.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Best

Ahhhhhh I want to scream. This phone is driving me crazy...so many problems.. latest among others is, opening maps it gives me the error like you all mentioned above.. so how and where do I go to download what you mentioned... and I did try to go into"download" and my phone just says I don't have enough memory to download anything.. HELP

I'm confused on how to get started here...??

I'm trying to create a very simple Flex app that simply
returns the eBay official time using their web services. I already
have PHP scripts setup to do this and a page that simply prints the
eBay time after grabbing it from their API.
If I understand correctly I should be able to simply create a
button in Flex and make it so that when you click that button it
calls this PHP page and displays the response in a text element or
a grid in my Flex app..??
What I don't get is how do I make the button actually do
that? I've got a Flex app created and I'm in design mode with a
button and a Text field dragged onto the design...and now I have no
idea what to do next.
If I can get a quick jump start on how to attach this button
to the PHP and display back in the text area I think it'll help me
understand a lot better how to move on with Flex.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. I just can't
seem to find a simple sample like this anywhere. Thanks!!

Yeah, for this kind of stuff you need to know some things.
The fact that you are unfamiliar with the <Script> tag,
or at least the CDATA section within it, tells me you need to read
at least these FB3 help section, and all its sub-sections:
Flex Programming Elements
If you do that most of your questions will be answered. I
never use design view, so I can't speak to those questions.
I'll answer some of your questions now.
The language in the <Script> tag is ActionScript 3. It
needs to be wrapped in a CDATA section because otherwise stuff like
< & > etc. will be intepreted as bad XML. Remember, the
MXML file is an XML file.
You will know what to import either because you have learned
the ActionScript you need to do what you are trying to do, or
because you will get errors and then you know you need to import.
Sometimes the import statement will be added automatically.
I always hand code my Flex apps, and never use design mode,
because once you get used to it, its not hard, and if you will be
coding AS (ActionScript) you will be there anyway. Being able to
code AS is where the $$$ will come as Flex grows in popularity. I
believe there will be a ton of cash for people good at AS over the
next 5 years.
Read Essential ActionScript and you'll be all set.
Be aware that events for things like HTTPService are a bit
different than events for things like buttons, etc. because they do
not get dispatched based on user input. And they are dispatched
asynchronously, meaning you call the HTTPService send() method, and
you can't depend on the data being available right away. That's why
we use the result event.
Go through the "Flex Programming Elements" and all its
sub-sections, and over time, go through the entire FB3 help system,
and you will reach Nirvana. I went through most of the FB 2.0.1
help system twice, compiling all the sample programs, a little each
day over a four or five month period, and I learned a lot.

TOP questions about Software Updates - start here

How do I update the software of my Nokia device?
You can update the software of most Nokia devices by downloading the software directly to your phone, or by using Nokia Software Updater, Nokia's free PC software.
Learn how and find out which methods are available for your device at
http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/update-your-phone/
How do I know when there is new software available for my Nokia device?
There are several ways to be notified about new sw versions for each Nokia device:
1) Use Nokia Suite
Whenever you connect your device to the latest version of Nokia Suite with a compatible USB cable, Nokia Suite will check if there is an update for your device. Note that this notification only works when you use a USB cable connection.
2) Check online
You can easily check the latest available version on the
Nokia Software Update website.
Currently Nokia does not publish the expected release dates for future software versions.
What has been updated in each new software version?
Main updates are published on the
Nokia Software Update website.
Here are some of the most common questions from the Nokia Software Update FAQ:
Why has my device changed language after updating?
After an update, your Nokia device may restart in its native language. Changing back to your preferred language can be done from the phone settings. Full instructions may vary depending on the phone model, if you need help you can download the full user guide for your phone from the support pages of your country's Nokia web site - visit www.nokia.com/support for more details.
If your Nokia device was originally manufactured for use in another country or region, using Nokia Software Updater may revert the set of available device languages to the original language set.
If your preferred language is no longer available after using Nokia Software Updater, you may need to return your Nokia device to a Nokia Care point to have this language reinstated.
Other people can update their software but I cannot, although we have the same Nokia device model. What's wrong?
Update availability is based on many things, including existing Nokia device firmware version, country, and operator. It may be due to one of these variables that your Nokia device isn't eligible for updates.
Please note that your mobile service provider, operator, or carrier may not have approved the latest Nokia device firmware available.
Nokia produces many different variants of each product (for different countries and languages) and not all variants have the latest Nokia device firmware. It is our priority to update all variants as quickly as possible, and we apologise for any delay. New software may become available at a later date, however, so please check again soon.
Why doesn’t Nokia Suite detect my device?
Sometimes the drivers for your Nokia device and associated connectivity cables can become corrupted.
To resolve this, uninstall and re-install Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater:
- In your PC’s Control Panel, go to Add/Remove programs
- Uninstall Nokia Suite (if there are more than one entries uninstall all of them)
- Go to www.nokia.com/support to download and install the latest version of Nokia Suite
I am not able to use Nokia Suite on any PC and my device does not support updates directly over the air. Is there an alternative way to update my device's software?
If you are not able to use Nokia Software Updater, you can visit your nearest authorized Nokia Care Point to have your software updated. Note that this may incur a charge. Locations for Nokia Care Points globally are available at the support page for your country, for details please visit http://www.nokia.com/global/support/locations/

- only enable Bluetooth when you need it
- set GPRS connection to "When needed"
- enable "Sleep mode" if available

I wrote all my posts from 2005-2011 as an "Admin" for this community. I still work for Nokia as an external consultant, so my rank in all posts is now "Employee".

Very strange - or perhaps not that strange but just another issue.... I tried the Hard Reset code again at this time it worked!!! I'm now re-entering my details and remembering what I didn't back up But if it fixes my issues it will be worth it.
FYI from another fine post I found:
FOR SOFT-RESET:
- at Standby Screen type-in => *#7780#
It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
FOR HARD-RESET:
- at Standby Screen type-in => *#7370#
It will ask for “Restore all phone settings-phone’ll restart….”
Then it asks for security code enter factory default => 12345
FOR FLASHING- TOTAL RESTORE: (Do this if your phone does not boot up)
1) Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting it back
2) Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*], Three key [3]
3) switch ON the phone.
4) Do not let go the three keys until you see the WELCOME screen displayed and just let it complete the boot process
if this doesnt help contact Nokia Care Point-> http://europe.nokia.com/A4388379

TOP questions for Eseries devices - start here

My Eseries device is not functioning properly.
Always make sure that you have the latest software version in your Nokia device. You can update the software yourself using Nokia Software Updater, Nokia's free PC software. Learn more and download Nokia Software Updater at
www.europe.nokia.com/softwareupdate
If you still experience problems, you can try if formatting your Eseries device helps. Format the device by dialling *#7370#. The device will request a security code, the default code is 12345 unless you have changed it.
Note that formatting will delete all user data from the device memory so always make a back-up to a memory card or use Nokia PC Suite.
If you think your Nokia device needs repair, go to www.europe.nokia.com/repair to find authorized Nokia Care Points globally.
How do I know when there is new software available for my Nokia device?
There are several ways to be notified about new sw versions for each Nokia device:
1) Use Nokia PC Suite
Whenever you connect your device to the latest version of Nokia PC Suite with a compatible USB cable, PC Suite will check if there is an update for your device. Note that this notification only works when you use a USB cable connection.
2) Check online
You can easily check the latest available version on the
Nokia Software Update website.
Currently Nokia does not publish the expected release dates for new software versions.
What has been updated in each new software version?
Main updates are published on the
