N95 and OSX - Issues

First, Nokia should be supporting it. It's ridiculous that they don't.
Now for the meat of it:
Leopard 10.5.5. Nokia N95-4 8 Gig phone.
Apparantly iSync needs a plugin to connect to the N95, which I have installed.
The phone connects when the USB cable is plugged in, and I get the menu on the phone to select PC Suite or USB transfer mode. However, I get this message upon connecting:
"The Nokia device "Nokia N95 8GB" is currently connected in a USB mode not supported by Nokia Multimedia Transfer or iSync."
It seems it should work, but in System Profiler there is this:
Host Controller Location: Expansion Slot
Host Controller Driver: AppleUSBOHCI
PCI Device ID: 0x005a
PCI Revision ID: 0x00a2
PCI Vendor ID: 0x10de
Bus Number: 0x02
Nokia N95 8GB:
Version: 1.00
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Nokia
Product ID: 0x0070
Vendor ID: 0x0421
USB Device:
Version: 1.03
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 1.5 Mb/sec
Product ID: 0x0005
Vendor ID: 0x0430
USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse:
Version: 18.00
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 1.5 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Logitech
Product ID: 0xc01b
Vendor ID: 0x046d
USB Device:
Version: 1.00
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Product ID: 0x0181
Serial Number: 000E6J670584
Vendor ID: 0x04f9
So the phone is there, visible. But iSync will not detect it on a scan, and I get that strange message 100% of the time.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled both the plugin and the Multimedia Transfer program. Nothing has worked.
Any help would be appreciated.

which mode did you use, PC Suite or USB Transfer? the proper mode to select would be PC Suite (USB Transfer only provides a direct conduit to the storage on the phone: ie your phone would be an 8GB thumb-drive when connected in this mode, whereas iSync needs both ends to be intelligent and therefore needs to communicate with a SyncML engine on the phone which is enabled when you select PC Suite)
i have an N95. it connects via USB to my mac easily and without issue. i dont, however, use USB for iSync: i only use it for large data transfers (like photos and music, or map loader). i find iSync works very well over Bluetooth (your phone has bluetooth, and bluetooth has been a standard option in pretty much every mac for the last 5 years). connecting with bluetooth, isync fails 0% of the time. right, it always works. keep your phone in your pocket, start isync, click the sync button, smile.
again, usb should work (to the best of my knowledge) but i've never tried isync via usb and don't want to: it would be far less convenient than the usb option.
so - respond with acknowledgment that you are connecting usb in PC Suite mode, and alternatively try isync via the vastly more convenient bluetooth connection (and pity the Windows users which have a harder time, even with PC Suite installed, trying to get bluetooth to do anything useful at all).
-bit
N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
(N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 and OSX 10.6 - Compatibility issue

    I've bought a new MacBook Pro (2,53 GHz, 4 GB RAM) and OSX 10.6.4 . With the old one (MBP 2,16 GHz, 1 GB RAM, still with OSX 10.6.4) the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 went perfectly.
    Now I'm experiencing a major compatibility issue: the same mouse, even with the same OS version but only a different MacBook Pro, won't be recognized.
    Bluetooth: activated
    Bluetooth firmware: latest
    Mouse: ON with batteries OK
    OPERATING SYSTEM: same (first restored via Time Machine and then updated with Apple Software Update)
    Suggestions?
    Message was edited by: Tyrexionibus

    I went through many of the same frustrations as the members above...my mouse had been working after the upgrade and then when I set up for a presentation with a room full of teachers it wouldn't connect.  I replaced batteries, etc... so I resorted to the pad.
    When I got home i checked the batteries and tried to reconnect following all the "normal" steps until I read the comment above about removing the existing device in the bluetooth preferences.  Once I did that - the 5000 connected like a champ!  Yeah!  This is the one mouse that I have really appreciated, especially since both of the USB ports are side by side and don't allow for multiple USB connections from my "wide" cellular USB card.

  • OSX Lion and Preview issue

    Hello, recently I've bought Lion on mac app store and a issue of preview is freaking me out.
    With Snow Leopard, when I open a .pdf file, edit it (example: deleting a page) and save it, a bar shows the progress of the saving. But when I do the same on Lion, the bar does not appear and the preview crashes. I already sended the report for apple, but I wanna know if someone can try this on your system and see what you got.
    Thanks

    so do i... same symptoms...
    and
    my macbook crashed preview, textedit, and the most bad thing is installer....
    OMG
    what should i do???
    somebody help me..

  • Just installed OSX 10.9.4 - have browser and email issues

    After updating the OS to X 10.9.4, I am now getting sporadic browser and email issues.
    Email will send one message from each account, then locks up and the message is "authentication refused".
    Browser will bring up an internet page or sometimes several, then will lock up and no further URLs can be accessed.
    Both issues are temporarily solved by rebooting the machine - but recur almost immediately.
    I am pulling my hair out.  Any thoughts?
    Don Hutchins

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Server File Sharing unstable on mac and windows network on Mavericks and OSX Server 3.0

    Since I've updated our mac mini server from Mountain Lion and OSX Server 2.X to Mavericks and OSX Server 3.0  we are having sharing issues with Windows (7 and 8) and OSX Mavericks users, not being able to access files on the mac mini server.
    What I've notice is that OSX Serer 3.0 stop working and I have to restart the Mac Mini Server to make things start working again.
    This was not happening with Mountain Lion and OSX Server 2.X.
    On the Windows and OSX users what happen is the computers keep trying to connect to the server and are not being able to open or copy files. Again this is intermittent, and I suspect it might be a OSX Server bug.
    Any one having the same problem or can give us and advice would be great help.
    Thanks.
    Andre Tenenbaum

    I too am having this exact problem as well as a few of my network administrator contacts that have gone through the Mavericks / Server 3 upgrade.
    It may be worth noting that before the upgrade I had run a mac mini server (core 2 duo) that never had any unintentional downtime, and the current mac server had never gone down or lost connection so I know it has nothing to do with user or network configuration.  
    NAS server hardware:
    - Mac Mini core i5
    - 16 GiB ram
    -  Promise Pegasus Raid5 external drive (thunderbolt)
    I am NOT running time machine as the backup.
    Everyting posted above is occuring although the rate at which my users lose acces is sporadic.  Sometimes the server will stay up 24-36 hours and sometimes it will only stay up for around 4.  Every user, every group loses acces AT THE EXACT SAME TIME EVERYTIME to EVERY SHAREPOINT...all of my local users as well as my remote users.  All of my users are on Windows machines (mostly win7, but a couple of XP and 8 users as well).  The share is accessed via a mapped drive using the format x.x.x.x/share and I have had 0 issues with getting users connected.  The problem is 100% keeping them connected.  When the users lose access the get the "drive cannot be accessed" error on their end, however when I check the server 3 app, it still shows all users connected and I have let it run for a few minutes and the idle times do change. 
    I also cannot see any spikes in the Activity monitor that might indicate a memory strain issue on the server side, but I assume that is because I am not watching the Activity Monitor at the moment everyone loses access.
    Let me say that the SMB2 protocol does work much better when it actually works, much faster, but intermitent connectivity is a VERY SERIOUS ISSUE and has resulted in several corrupt files for my workers already.  Also, because I was one of the unfortunate people that had the upgrade lock up on me and I had to restart it, I lost my 10.8.x recover backup and so I would have to do a clean install in order to restore my server back to its original state. I am also hesitant to do this because I would most likely only be able to download the Server3 app from the app store and I have not heard from apple or any other power user group on whether the bug is with the app or the OS. 

  • Encore keeps crashing on startup on macbook pro. I have all the latest cc and osx updates

    encore keeps crashing on startup on macbook pro. I have all the latest cc and osx updates

    What specific OS and Encore versions? Since you say "latest OS updates," I assume Mavericks, and is this the relatively new 10.9.1 version?
    Where in the startup does it crash? Is there an error message?
    Mavericks causes a variety of issues, and we don't have enough data to really pin them down. At least with the original Mavericks, some users appeared to get CS6 to run with some serious but workable problems.
    Make sure you have handled any permissions issues.

  • Mail attachment drag and drop issue

    Been facing serious mail attachment drag-and-drop issue since 10.8 (if not from 10.7) and was disappointed to find the same behaviour still in 10.9.
    When I drag and drop a picture file (from Finder for example) into a message window or onto the Mail.app Dock icon, the system's window management somehow gets confused: my next step is to click on the message window in order to start typing. However, the mouse click causes that very window to escape under all other open applications / windows. Further on, I dig under to find the escapee and click again: once more it escapes. This can go on for a few annoying rounds until gets solved in an unexplainable way. This behaviour in not consistent, but has happens in about 8 cases out of 10.
    Apart from Mail.app I do not experience drag and drop issues of any kind.
    Anyone else suffering from this?

    I'd be interested in the answer to this too.
    It only just started happening to me a day or so ago, about the time that I think I did an OS upgrade.
    I'm on OSX 10.8.2.
    Its annoying.
    I can drop and drag in Finder but it just affects email.

  • Ps CS5 and OSX 10.7.3 (Lion) Problem

    Ok, so I asked this awhile back when I was running Snow Leopard (10.6.x) on this late 2009 27" iMac.  Someone mentioned that I should disable Open GL drawing to resolve it, and it worked, for awhile except for many of the features in CS5 you need Open GL enabled.  If no one else is having this problem on the same OS then I am going to take this computer back to Apple and have it fixed/replaced.  Maybe it's the graphics card, I don't know.  But here is what my PS documents look like about 75% of the time.  Sometimes it is worse than this and it makes working very, very hard:
    The very strange white pixelation that appears is also appearing on the panels now as well (look at the layers panel in the above image).  It is becoming very frustrating.  I updated to 10.7.3 to hopefully 'fix' the problem, but no cigar.  I don't know if this is an Adobe problem or an Apple problem.  I notice it appears on applications like Safari when a webpage with Flash is running as well.  I know Adobe and Apple don't get along but this is becoming a regularity for my Photoshop experience.  It's also starting to affect many other applications on my computer.  It happens almost every time I run Photoshop, and it affects other applications that I run if Photoshop is running simultaneously.  If I quit Photoshop it clears up this issue in many other applications.  Any ideas?  Is anyone else running these system specs having this problem?  If so, have you done anything to fix it?  I am considering sending this iMac back to Apple and having the graphics card looked at.
    My intuition says there is either a clash between Adobe programs and OSX and that is the source of the problem, or I have a bad graphics card, but I have no proof of that.  It happens on websites with Flash and it happens directly in Photoshop.  It doesn't happen in Illustrator, InDesign, or Dreamweaver though.  I am totally at a loss for what is causing this.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    That's a pretty classic example of a bad GPU or bad VRAM.
    Yes, your video card is bad and needs to be replaced.

  • JDev 10G OSX Issues

    Hi-
    I am starting this thread as a discussion area for bugs and issues with JDev 10G on Apple OSX 10.3. JDev is not officially supported on OSX, however, I am hoping that by providing well defined issue lists we can move that process along. Please add to this list if you are running JDev on OSX and find other issues!
    Thanks Gerard for encouraging me to post these (and sorry for my slow response).
    Eric Everman
    ___Problems in the 10G release that were present in preview release___
    -The Apple LnF has some missing icons and general painting issues in the file browser.
    -com.apple.macos.useScreenMenuBar has been depreciated message on startup (noted other places)
    -(MAJOR) JDev cannot correctly resolve paths using symbolic links. I haven't tried this, but I would suspect this is a problem on Linux as well. If I open a project that uses a symbolic link within its path, JDev seems to think there are two copies each file - one on the linked path and one on the fully resolved path. Somehow out of this, Jdev ends up placing all files into a Miscellaneous package under Web Content and Application Sources.
    -Import... The dialog seems to have a hardcoded background color. When running under OSX with the Apple LnF, the background color is the dark color of the Oracle LnF in portions of the dialog.
    -The sort order for files in the file dialogs is case sensative is a unfriendly way: A-Z sorts as a group before a-z. Preferable would be Aa, Bb, etc, as OSX applications (and windows applications) do. Is this also a problem in Linux?
    -Quiting JDev results in the following error (terminal text from JDev start to JDev Quit):
    ================================
    Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.SecurityException
    at oracle.ide.IdeCore$1.checkExit(IdeCore.java:165)
    at java.lang.Runtime.exit(Runtime.java:88)
    at java.lang.System.exit(System.java:715)
    at com.apple.eawt.Application.handleQuit(Application.java:406)
    JavaAWT: Assertion failure: Java exception thrown
    JavaAWT: File src/macosx/native/apple/awt/util/AWTException.m; Line 40
    JavaAWT: Assertion failure: _javaException
    JavaAWT: File src/macosx/native/apple/awt/util/AWTException.m; Line 48
    2004-04-30 10:54:36.344 java[2230] See Java exception object
    ================================
    -Dual monitors Issue: (partially fixed) Works great under Apple LnF as long as com.apple.macos.useScreenMenuBar is 'false'. When set to 'true' and working in the non-main window (the window w/o the menubar), context menus pop-up at the edge of the main window instead of at the mouse location.
    -Command-Q will quit JDev, but will not always kill the associated Embedded OC4J instance. I can't always reproduce this - perhaps it happens after I've switched projects, recompiled somethings, etc..
    -Quiting JDev using any method other File|Quit results in the open file list not being saved. (Other methods are Command-Q or the JDev menu item Quit option)
    ___Problems in the preview release that were fixed in the 10G release___
    -Fixed: The close/minimize buttons on tabs and panes now display properly in the Apple LnF.
    -Fixed: Save As... removes the original file from the project list. So it looks as if the file has been renamed - in reality the original file is still on the disc, just no longer part of the project.
    -Fixed: The state of open files is not restored when JDev is resarted. Somewhere along the line I ended up with the JDev Welcome page and a class file as being the open files each time I start JDev, regardless of what files were open when I closed JDev. Tried with OSX LnF and Oracle LnF.
    -Fixed: When running under OSX LnF, editing code will result in the addition of a 'Code' menu to the menu bar, however, all of the other menu items are de-activated (greyed out). When the context changes to something other then code editing, the 'Code' menu item disappears, but all of the other menu items remain de-activated. Also, the Code item is added after the Help item, which is non standard. Under the Oracle LnF, the behaviour is as expected.
    -(Have not replicated in 10G release) After switching from MS Windows to OSX using JDev 10G for both, leading square bracket characters ([) seem to be stripted from JavaScript in JSP pages. Additionally, an extra space is sometimes inserted after a litteral in square braces.  If you see something similar, please submit more details.  I have a more detailed writeup in the Technologies|Apple section - search for 'square bracket characters'.
    -Fixed: Structure pane incorrectly displayed multi-line JSP comments that started with carriage returns.
    ___New Issues in the 10G release (or not before found)___
    -On startup, several errors are listed in the JDev message pane:
    ================================
    /Applications/jdev/jdev/lib/ext/bc4j_installer.jar!/META-INF/jdev-ext.xml
    Error: <Line 4, Column 22>: XSD-2034: (Error) Element 'feature' not expected.
    Error: <Line 24, Column 14>: XSD-2021: (Error) Element not completed: 'extensions'
    /Applications/jdev/jdev/lib/ext/bigraphext.jar!/META-INF/jdev-ext.xml
    Error: <Line 4, Column 22>: XSD-2034: (Error) Element 'feature' not expected.
    Error: <Line 17, Column 14>: XSD-2021: (Error) Element not completed: 'extensions'
    ================================
    After adding the JUnit extension, I also get these messages at startup:
    =================================
    /Applications/jdev/jdev/lib/ext/jdev905_JUnit Folder/bc4j_junit_addin.jar!/meta-inf/jdev-ext.xml
    Error: <Line 4, Column 22>: XSD-2034: (Error) Element 'feature' not expected.
    Error: <Line 39, Column 14>: XSD-2021: (Error) Element not completed: 'extensions'
    /Applications/jdev/jdev/lib/ext/jdev905_JUnit Folder/junit_addin.jar!/meta-inf/jdev-ext.xml
    Error: <Line 4, Column 22>: XSD-2034: (Error) Element 'feature' not expected.
    Error: <Line 98, Column 14>: XSD-2021: (Error) Element not completed: 'extensions'
    ================================
    -The window location and/or size is not restored on startup. I typically run dual monitors with jdev full-screen on the larger of the two. jdev often starts less then full screen size or not in the full screen location.
    -Inner Classes are not properly used by JDev. This chunk of code:
    ================================
    import java.util.Map;
    //code in a method
    Map.Entry entry;
    ================================
    Results in JDev underlining Map.entry with a mouseover note that says 'Access not allowed for class 'java.util.Map.Entry'.
    -Find and Replace with 'prompt' option locks the editor (hard to replicate)
    -JDev will sometimes 'swallow' a keystroke while it is poping up a Code Insight box (hard to replicate)
    ___General Feature Requests___
    -Several of the common File menu options could be added to the context menu in the Application Navigator tab. For instance, Save As, Remove From Project, Delete, and Refactor-> are all common functions that are nice to have 'right there'.
    -When typing import statements, is there some way to have jdev continue showing context lists after a selection is made? For instance, when entering:
    import org.apache.commons.lang.RandomStringUtils;
    I type "org." which allows me to choose apache from the list. Then... nothing - I have to backspace to delete the '.' and retype it in order to get the next code completion popup. In JBuilder there was the option to select an item from the list by pressing the '.' (dot), which would immediately continue with another context selection box.

    Okay, lets see how many of these we can already deal with:
    ** General Look And Feel Issues:
    * Missing icons and redrawing issues in the file browser
    Loged as new bug 3609752
    * ...useScreenMenuBar has been depreciated message
    Can find this, are you sure this is not being confused with the antialiasing messages?
    * Dialog background colors
    Logged as bug 2610818
    * Open dialog sorting
    Logged as new bug 3609768
    * AWT exception on exiting:
    Logged as bug 3525259
    * Multi monitor bug
    Unfortunately we only have a few macs and non of them have more than one monitor at the moment. But from your description this problem seem to lie with Apple rather than us. I will keep an eye on it for you though.
    ** Error messages on startup
    I belive this is a common problem accross all platform.
    ** Inner classs issue
    Again this is a problem with all versions of JDeveloper. Logged as bug 3546309, not currently scheduled to be fixed until the next release. Note that this only seems to affect the highligthing in the editor and nothing else.
    ** Items not being saved, position not being restored.
    If you press Apple-Q the Java virtual machine will kill jdeveloper and not allow it to close down properly. This can be resolve by addin hooks provided by apple. For the 903 preview release we had an addin for this. I will look at providing a drop in for 9.0.5.1
    ** Symbolic links, and other enhancements
    In will invetigate symbolic links and get back to you. I will also look at tracing down ER or log bugs for the other enhancemnts you mention
    Thanks for the details,
    G.

  • Windows 8.1 Audio and Video issues

    I recently updated Windows 8 to 8.1 on my 2012 MacBook Pro and it now appers that Headphone/Line In have stopped working.
    This only occurs in Windows mode, when running in OS X Mavericks the issue does not occur so I am assuming that it is a driver related issue rather than hardware.
    I also have an issue with dual monitor setup, if I attempt to change the resolution or go from Dual to Single then back again, it fails to locate the second monitor again.  Once again, this all worked with no issue before the 8.1 update and no issue occurs while running OS X.
    Has anyone else experienced these issues and/or know how to resolve them?
    I have gone through device manager and it indicates that all drivers are up to date.

    i too have the same issue.  I did a fresh Bootcamp install of Windows 8.1 64-bit on my mid 2011 iMac and my built in audio and headphones have stopped working on the Windows side.  OSX Maveriks is ok. 
    i also went to the device manager and all of my audio drivers are up to date...still no sound.
    i have uninstalled and reinstalled all audio drivers, disabled then enabled them several times...still no sound.
    i have unistalled the graphics driver (i read somewhere else that there was an issue with it)...but still no sound.
    can someone help us out?
    NOTE: i have a usb audio dongle that works on windows.  but it only controls my headphones.  when i plug in the headphones into the built in audio jack on the iMac it doesnt work.

  • Elements 6 and OSX 10.5.6

    I just purchased an iMac with OSX 10.5.6 along with a MacBook with the same operating system. I've previously been working with a Mac Mini with 10.4.9 and Photoshop Elements 3. I've loved it and was going to purchase Elements 6 for my new computers, but I'm finding lots of information about issues with Elements 6 and OSX 10.5.+. Will there be issues with Elements 6 and my new Macs?

    Thank you Barbara. I'll do just that. Out of curiosity, if I do have problems, do I have many other options available? Will it just be a matter of time before the bugs are worked out?
    Also, I'd like to say thanks for The Missing Manual (Elements 3) that taught me so much. You know, the one you just happened to write. That was three or four years ago and my understanding of PE has grown leaps and bounds ever since. Without it I believe I would have remained far to confused - especially when it came to adjustment layers and their importance.
    Thanks again!

  • No updates for N95 and more

    Well it seems to be that there's not going to be more firmware updates for N95. That's a big shame for Nokia because at least I was expecting ASR. I got an iPod Touch and I've seen that even the old iPhone 2G is receiving updates to the next firmware 2. But if you want Nokia's ASR and newest services, you have to buy a new Nokia like the new N96 or N85 they're launching. I've paid so much for my N95 not so long ago and now it's a forgotten cellphone.
    That's why I'm planning to sell my N95 and buy the new iPhone 3G, I know it will not be unlocked, I'll have to unlock it by my self, and I know that it's 2MP camera will not be the same than the N95 camera; but I'm happy because I know that I will always have updates for this device, will have ASR and other things that Nokia could update on their devices instead of making them obsolete.
    Come on Nokia, when are you going to learn?

    hi mate simple threats of going to the iphone will not help them bring out software for your phone , i doubt any software peeps from noia even read this forum its a users forum if you have a problem you should email nokia directly through their contact us pages
    if i was a nokia technician though id have to stop myself from laughing at you for going over to the iphone i mean that would be a major step backwards and youll only be lining o2 and apples allready bulging pockets some more and have a rubbish phone with outdated features for the next 18 months , i mean cmon how long has 3g been out for and apple act as though its new lol anyways i dont want to start the n95 vs apple debate again any power user will know that the n95 is still top of the pile
    there will be 1 more new firmware for the n95-1 , and iam sure it will contain asr and geotagging for the 5mp camera just like the n82s last update did and n95 8gbs added it too, yes thats right the n95 8gb did not come with asr as standard from release it was added in v20 if iam correct v15 for the 8gb dosent have it so it was pretty dam good for them to add it
    anyways v21 on the n95 is very good just add rotate me or landscape pro and your phone will have asr, the nokia technicians dont really have to sort out any issues at all with v21 , it has transformed my phone into a top hanset with decent battery life for such a feature packed handset , new firmwares roll out mainly to iron out bugs if a handset dosent have bugs why would they update it??
    we are lucky that nokia can even be bothered to add new features really , they dont have to do they , the handset isnt advertised with asr is it , nope , so we are lucky they listen and add features
    i seriously cant believe youd leave the n95 for the iphone but hey everyone to thier own
    i personally think nokia do well with their updates and nokia users are lucky that their phones get updated via the net and that nokia can be bothered to add new features etc into the firmware and not just iron out little bugs
    anyways mate id be more patient before you go over to the darkside i believe the new firmware for the n95-1 will be avalible just before the n96 release as the developers are going to be busy with their new hanset and ironing out the new bugs on that n96 , once the n95-1 has asr and geotagging bult into firmware it will be more then the device we was promised and i think nokia will leave it like that for a bit and work on the n96

  • N95 and Toyota Bluetooth hands-free system

    On 11th March I purchased a used (55 plate) Toyota Corolla Verso and as part of the deal had the Toyota Bluetooth hands-free system installed.
    Everything worked fine with my Sony K600i which has eventually given up the ghost and required replacement.
    I opted for the Nokia N95 and after a short wait due to stock availability it was delivered to my home address on Friday 4th May.
    My initial "very impressed" thoughts soon changed to disappointment when I tried to pair the N95 with the Toyota hands-free system...
    Unlike the Sony, the phone does not automatically detect that the Toyota system is searching for it.. but I can bypass this by manually searching for other devices with the phone whilst the Toyota system is searching.
    I'm then asked to input the pass code (default 1234) on the phone... which I do... and the Toyota system announces that the pairing has been successfull... connection in progress... however the phone then flashes a message stating that it is not possible to pair with the Toyota system at which point the Toyota system declares "connection failed".
    I've tried numerous times now with Remote Sim on and off, deleting all paired devices and starting from scratch etc etc...
    I've been and spoken to the Toyota Dealership and of course they claim that there's nothing wrong with the car kit - it worked with the phone I had when I bought the car and it's not their fault I've changed to a phone which is incompatible.
    As far as I can tell, the N95 has Bluetooth 2.0 installed (so did the Sony) and I understand that this *is* backwardly compatible and as such should meet the technical requirements of the Toyota System... however the lady on the service desk at the Toyota Dealership stated that there could be other issues too, but was either not able or not willing to specify what those issues would be. She suggested that the only way they would possibly be able to do anything about it would be only if Customer Relations gave them authorisation to do so and gave me their telephone number (01737 363633).
    Having spoken to Toyota Customer Relations, they simply infer that it's my fault for purchasing a phone that is not compatible - but even they declined to provide me with documentary evidence (which they claim to have) proving that it is not compatible. Instead they suggested that the only course of action I would possibly have would be to speak with the dealership.... who have of course already told me that they are not able to do anything without the say so of Toyota Customer Relations.
    I get the feeling someone isn't quite telling the truth...
    I figure that the only way I'm going to have any recourse with Toyota is to prove beyond doubt that the phone is compatible with the requirements of the Toyota system... according to the Toyota Bluetooth hands-free system owners manual I merely need to ensure that any desired phone supports Bluetooth hands-free profiel 0.96 or 1.0.
    I've tried asking O2 - they didn't know the answer and suggested I should call Nokia.
    I've called Nokia on the following numbers:
    08450 545454
    08700 555777
    09067 547540 (premium rate £0.75 per minute)
    08706 092832
    08450 045555
    Each without success... note that the 08706 092832 number was answered by an extremely unhelpful, arrogant lady... you can probably sense I'm beginning to get a little irate now...
    I've also tried to call Nokia on 08450 045555 given to me both by the Nokia website and the arrogant lady I refer to above...
    At the time of writing this post, I've had the phone to my ear ringing away for 1 hour 16 minutes and counting....
    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.... (Me catching my breath so as to stay calm)
    Can anybody whatsoever with the slightest element of confidence tell me whether the Nokia N95 supports Bluetooth hands-free profile 0.96 or 1.0??
    Any advice, assistance, stress and frustration relief would VERY much appreciated.

    Hello again... I thought some of you may like to know that I have made some progress.
    After a rediculously long time on hold with Nokia I eventually opted to hang up and call back... frustratingly I did of course get through straight away only to be told that it was actually one of their quieter days and that there was no reason (as far as the guy knew) why I should have been on hold for so long... regardless... the guy was extremely helpful.
    I explained my issue in detail and he advised that as far as he knew, because the phone has Bluetooth version 2, it could/would/should be compatible.
    Separately I had also emailed Club Nokia with the full details of my issue.
    I had also logged an appeal with Toyota Customer Services (Head Office).
    Initially Toyota's response was that technology moves so fast, specifically the mobile phone industry, that technology such as car kits etc are often left inferior. As polite as they were, they basically washed their hands of the problem putting the blame squarely at my feet for purchasing a phone that in their opinion was incompatible.
    My appeals regarding viewing it as unreasonable that having only bought the car in March of this year and one part of it already being relegated to a fancy dashboard accessory that doesn't really do much apart from ignore my requests to pair with my phone, fell on deaf ears to say the least. Even though I had directed them towards this and at least one other online forum upon which other Toyota owners claimed to have had their Bluetooth system upgraded under warranty.
    Then an email reply arrived from Club Nokia. It specifically stated, "this handset [Nokia N95] has a bluetooth version of 2.0 and does support the headset profile"
    Of course, this prompted an immediate phone call to Toyota Customer Services again... quoting my reference number (for my earlier conversation(s) with them) and informing them of the information/clarification received from Club Nokia their tone shifted a little and I was told that they would call me back.
    A couple of days later I received a phone call from Customer Services informing me that they had authorised my local dealer to upgrade the Bluetooth system under warranty.
    Approximately two days later I had a phone call from the Dealer informing me that the part(s) had been ordered.
    And as I sit here typing this right now, they're fitting the new system to my car.
    Granted I think there's a chance both the guy I spoke to at Nokia and the emailed response from Club Nokia miss the point slightly as they appear to be relying on the fact that the phone has Bluetooth V2.0 and therefore *is* compatible... this may not necessarily be the case - somebody suggested in an earlier post that the phone is only compatible with handsfree profile 1.5...
    However, if Nokia are telling me it's compatible I figured I'd quote that to Toyota and see what happened (afterall I'm not telling porkies, I'm simply passing on the info I obtained from the people who *should* know)...
    I think this proves a little persistance certainly goes a long way!
    (I guess I just need to test the damn thing when I get my car back later today)

  • IPhoto 9 (8.1.2 (424) and OSX 10.6.4) will not import jpg's

    I purchased and installed iLife '09 yesterday. After downloading the latest software updates to iPhoto 9 (8.1.2 build 424) and OSX (10.6.4) I cannot import jpg's into iPhoto. It says "The file is in an unrecognized format." Under GET INFO, the file kind is "JPEG Image". This same photo imported just fine in iPhoto '08. Obviously, iPhoto '09 is designed to import jpg's. How do I fix this?

    Thank you, that worked. I was able to import random jpg's, but NOT able to import any jpg from a scanned picture from my Lexmark X7675. They all failed, but other jpg's imported fine. So the problem is with the scanner. I downloaded the new drivers, but that didn't work. I'll now exit this forum and take up the issue with Lexmark. Thanks for your help.

  • Browser and email issues with OS 10.9.4

    Had a problem that I thought had been solved.  See thread here: Just installed OSX 10.9.4 - have browser and email issues
    Now a week or so later, it's back.  Same symptoms.  I have followed the procedure posted by Linc Davis.  Anybody have further ideas?

    If you are using Safari, try going to Safari/Preferences/Advanced and set the develop menu to show. Go to the develop menu and select Empty Caches.
    If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari/Remove all web site data.
    For Mail, try:
    Do a backup.
    Quit Mail.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.
