N96 - Update and Format

Hi
is there a way to workaround the last option to format a phone after update?
Last update the multimedia key was not working after update,
whatever i did it not activate, so after formating it worked.
But to install always all applications is terrible and if you format the programs on the 16 gb drive
are sometimes not working too all and then last option is always to format this drive also :-(
Are there no folders or files a user can check, delete and maybe not having to format and reinstall everything
after update?
Or how to backup necessary files without appearing same problems after restoring?

The user data protection feature in this new model should protect the licence keys for preinstalled content, but just in case you should also backup the phone with Ovi PC Suite (note: not standard Nokia PC Suite) before taking the action.

I recently updated and after completion the selection format was changed. Under internet Netflix was no longer an option. I have tried unplugging the unit to no avail. The problem was clearly caused by the update. Help

Immediately after updating the format was changed and Netflix was omitted. I tried turning the uniton and off to no avail. I also went to settings and reselected my wifi connection. It indicated that I was connected to the internet. I tried using youtube but it would not conect to the internet. So much for updates. Help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check that your location settings are correct.
Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general from the settings menu.
Are you getting any time and date error messages.

"Lightrrom couldn't update the format of its catalog file and must quit. ..".

I had no trouble updating my small catalogs but my large one I tried several times. After around 45 minutes I see a dialog box that says
"Lightroom couldn't update the format of its catalog file and must quit. Your previous catalog will be restored".
Any help on how I can get LR to open the catalog. No problems with the integrity check. The catalog was working just fine in version 1.0.

I had the same issue.
Fortunately I had backed up up my db before the upgrade.
I exited then restarted LR and created a new db - so it would start.
With my backup copied to a safe location I then opened the backup db. The conversion completed successfully and everything appears OK.
Hope this may help

Few questions about partitioning and formatting in Windows 8

Hello,
I'm very shortly after a Windows 8 reinstall and I want to make use of this moment to finally understand partitioning and formatting in Windows 8.
Before using Windows 8, I was an XP user for 5 years and I actually never bothered myself with formatting my main system partition, that's probably why my computer ended up working like a slime for the last years. Anyway, by now I have been using Windows 8 for a year.
Three weeks ago I faced a system-related problem with my laptop (IdeaPad Y580) which prevented it from peacefully shutting down. A good friend of mine (XP user for his entire life, and now Windows 7 newbie user) told me, that I should keep all my non-system stuff on separate partition and that I should do the main system partition format from time to time to keep my PC out of trouble. It is sure that he took his knowledge from using XP, and here's my first question - does this method apply to Windows 8?
I mean as far as I know, back then, in XP, partitioning was possible only during Windows installation, and now, in Windows 8 we have a Disk Management for this, which do not require running Windows installation to create new partitions.
I'm mentioning this due to the fact that originally (I mean by factory settings) my drive has only one visible partition - C: (1TB), so I would need to use the Disk Management to take some space from C: partition and allocate it to the new D: partition.
In case I do this whole partitioning operation and create a D: partition, is it sure that formatting my system-only C: partition won't have effects on my D: partition, and all the programms and data I have here will stay on their places and work after format? (I'm worried about this because I've seen in some partitioning guide a warning not to format the main partition after the partitioning operation, because it would erase totally all data - I'm not sure if I misunderstood something or is it a mistake? EDIT: here's the link for this guide, just jump to the "Final Thoughts" section to see what I'm taking about: http://www.technorms.com/8438/windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition ).
If this whole method of keeping your system running fine doesn't apply to Windows 8, I guess I'm okay with having only one C: partition.
By the way, it doesn't matter for me if I create new partition in terms of conflicts with preinstalled Lenovo OneKey Recovery, since I had to reinstall my Windows 8 recently from non-Lenovo CD, and either way my laptop is now totally clean, without Lenovo stuff (I found Lenovo Recovery CD for Y580 on the internet, but it had non-single-language Windows 8 in it, and I needed a single-laguage one in order to have my Product Key recognised, so I just used a pure Windows 8 SL installer)

I just found out that I can't even transfer my Users folder or Program Data to other drive than the one with the system, because it would prevent me from updating my system or even from actually booting to my system. So apparently my whole topic is for nothing... I guess I should live with only one drive, and whenever my system totally crashes again I should do the backups to my external HDD. It's sad though that Windows 8 is a total opposite to user-friendly OS, to say the least.

CAN ANYONE TREAT ME LIKE A TWO YEAR OLD AND GIVE SOME GUIDANCE AS TO HOW TO ACHIEVE THIS UPDATE .
i WOULD BE VERY GRATEFULL AND KIND OF THINK IT WOULD BE BENIFICIAL TO A LOT MORE PEOPLE AS I SEE A LOT OF XP AND PROBLEMS OF THE KIND THIS UPDATE IS SUPPOSED TO FIX .

It says above 2 relevant and 1 correct answere available .............
I'm new here so could anyone direct me to these answeres?

How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents.

How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. Everything I can find is about wiping everything out and restoring everything. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents (and numbers and keynote that also locked up during updating).

What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

Blue screen, impossible to detect, update and restore

This is basically what happened a wekk ago before my holiday.
* tried to update songs, iTunes did not recognize my iPod
* got a message in a yellow balloon at the start bar with a HDD error and that I needed to preform CHKDSK (check disk for errors)
* had this error before, with no specific problems of updating and listening to songs
* my computer rebooted suddenly and showed up several times a blue screen when connecting iPod either with firewire or USB. (my system is win XP home SP1, don't want SP2 to mess up my system)
* I did not used my iPod for a few days then, so it went into sleep mode, and needed to reboot.
* iPod did reboot but only some songs worked, others were skipped, untill the ipod remained frozen
* reset with menu + select
* folder icon with exclamation, and redirection to apple support pages
* after MANY resets, back into main menu, same as above, some songs did played, others didn't untill it froze again.
* Can not preform any restore procedure since iPod updater won't recognize my iPod
* Can nor manually format coz windows crashes when trying to open explorer.
* Have no warrenty anymore
Anybody with usefull information how I could restore my ipod, since I think maybe some parts of my hard drive are damaged, and this is causing the firmware to go crazy.
I went into diagnostic mode (menu + select, back + select) and preformed frirewire and HDD check, both were OK...
I don't know what to do anymore...
the guy at apple support telephone line told me that connecting it to a MAC could possibly solve the problem to restore, I will try to pass at the local apple store this afternoon.
Tnx for all help!

I was able to recover my iPod and it's working again like it always used to work
Since I thought it was worthless I wanted to see the iPod from the inside, so I opened it up, and I saw a HUGE pile of dust around the hard drive connector.
I unplugged the harddrive, cleaned everything, and reconnected, and closed my iPod again.
When connecting to my pc I got a message my iPod needed to be formatted under windows, and ipod restore worked.
when disconnecting and reconnecting iTunes recognized him and songs were being transfered.
No errors since then.

IPod mini shows up as having 328.9 GB capacity in updater and iTunes

I have a 6 GB mini, and I have updated to the new iTunes since I last used it. So when I connnected it, it showed up as "Data" instead of my iPod name, and iTunes claimed it didn't have any songs on it even though it did. I got the 1.4.1 updater (2006-01-10) and it said it needed update but it only offered a restore option. I went ahead and restored, but when it came back it still said 328.9 GB, both in the updater and in iTunes. So I formated from the control panel, and it correctly read 5.67 GB free. Back to updater, it still reads 328.9. It seems to work, but it worries me that the disk size reads wrong. It claims in iTunes to have used 89.6 GB with 2hundred whatever free. No, I'm not looking at my hard drive, this is the iPod.

Never mind, mystery solved. I had a windows network drive assigned as drive J:, which is the drive my iPod decided to be. So the two conflicted, and iTunes was writing to the network drive.

Intel Matrix Storage Manager disables Windows Update and Windows Validation on Windows 7 64-bit

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad R61 8918CTO on which I did a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (64-bit) on a new Seagate Momentus XT 750GB drive. The installation was trouble-free, as were all of the post-install Windows Updates.
Then I installed ThinkVantage System Update 4.03 and used it to install most of the available Lenovo updates. Big mistake. I'll spare you a detailed account of the hours I wasted troubleshooting, rolling back to previous restore points, and doing more troubleshooting, but it turns out that installing Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver v. 8.9.2.1002 caused Windows Update and Windows Validation to fail.
Symptoms: Windows Update control panel can't check for updates and reports that the Windows Update service isn't running when it actually is. Online Windows Validation fails and the standalone Windows Validation utility won't install. Microsoft programs that require a validated copy of Windows (e.g., Microsoft Security Essentials) won't install.
Solution: Roll back the driver for the relevant SATA controller to the previous driver.
I've reinstalled ThinkVantage System Update 4.03 and hidden the proposed Intel Matrix Storage Manager update; since then, I've used it to complete my Lenovo updates without issue.
I hope this post will help other people with this problem find the solution a lot faster than it took me!

This happened after installing a new advanced format drive with 4k-byte sectors, I'd guess. If the storage driver doesn't report the physical sector size to Windows, update fails.
I just ran across this myself (again) putting Win 7 on a T400.
I don't know why this is still going on. It may be that the update lists for older machines still have pre-AF-drive drivers listed.
FYI, another fix is going to the Intel site and installing the latest Matrix Storage Manager AHCI driver. This may be more desirable than rolling back to an older driver in some cases.

How I got my Nano 1st gen to update and work

I just got my iPod nano 1st gen today (refurb)
I plugged it in......and got nothing but the flashing folder. I couldn't get it to restore or update...each time I got an error saying a file was in use or a 1418 error. Disk Utility wouldn't recognize the Nano but System Profiler would. I tried over 15 times...still nothing; would not update. I tried resetting the nano, putting in disk mode....nothing. I tried resetting during the update...nothing. Then finally, while using the stand alone iPod updater, I opened iTunes simultaneously and voila, something started happening. Whereas in the beginning, it was formatted for Windows (received that way) all of the sudden it said formatted for Macintosh, then lo and behold my nano rebooted and started working.
I'm so happy. I have previously only owned the shuffle and was so looking foward to this Nano (which I got at a great price, btw US$99.00)
So, what do I think actually did the trick? I'm not sure. The combination of resetting the iPod during the update using the stand alone iPod updater and lauching iTunes 7 simultaneously for some reason worked.
Hope this helps someone who is having a similar problem.

Which "standalone iPod updater" did you use? iPod Updater 2006-06-28 for Mac ?
My understanding was that iTunes 7.0 took away the need for standalone iPod updaters. I've been researching this topic for an hour, and hope of recovering my nano is waning.

Can I uninstall an update and go back to older the version ?

hi i have a macbook pro intel and i am using Mac osx 10.5.8, now i have a apple wireless keyboard, recently i just installed the "alluminium keyboard update 2" after which my keypad has stopped responding, i request is some one can offer a help ..... i just want to uninstall this update and go back to the older version .....

Hi,
One simple way would be to completely uninstall your keyboard drivers, updated that they are, and reinstall from scratch, then deny the unwanted updates the right to install.
Another way is to get details about the culprit by using Terminal and typing the following commands:
grep swupd /etc/swupd/com.apple.server.swupdate.plist > ~/Desktop/update_list.txt
(This will get you a list of software updates you've installed on you Mac, in text format, directly on your Desktop)
Then:
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/swupd/html/xxx-xxxx/
(Where "xxx-xxxx" stands for the actual update number you want to delete)
You'll have to reboot your Mac, and hope that the rollback that will ensue will take place without a glitch. You may find your keyboard unresponsive at first, time for the system to fetch the old driver back from it was stored.
