N97 has ruined my life...

...well nearly.
Had a problem where suddenly Mail for Exchange wouldn't sync contacts. The phone suggested contacting the administrator but other Exchange devices were working fine (blackberry, webmail, entourage). Eventually I backed up the phone (NPC Suite said it couldn't backup contacts and messages though) before resetting the N97. Afterwards it synced fine with Exchange with the small and devastating minor error of deleting every contact (over 1200) from my Exchange server.
How on earth could this happen? Any suggestions what I can do?

Hi, sad problem, but how did it happend? did you set Mail for Exchange settings to - "phone wins" in (in case of conflict) and "delete items on phone" in the (sync contacts)??
Don't imagine how on earth did it happened.. can you please provide more details?
If you are syncing your phone with a exchange server - try to contact your IT team, they should have backups of your data. I would get a box of beer and go talk to them =)
One question, I am looking forward to buy such a phone, I'm a MFE user myself. I know that provios Nokia N series devices accepted only a 5 digit lock code and our corporate standart (pushed by exchange) is a 6 digit code, can someone of the owners of this device try to set up a lock code of 6 digits and post the result somewhere on the board? appreciate it!

What is apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update? this update has ruined my phone

What is Apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update??? This update has ruined my phone! Why would you put out a update you know is going to ruin someones phone? Whats being done? I have tried everything to fix my phone which was just fine before Apples IOS 7.1.2 update!!!

I have also experienced issues with my iphone5 since updating to ios 7.1.2, prior to this update my phone was working perfectly fine and I know I didnt cause any damage to the phone because I baby my iphone as if it was my child. Ever since I updated to 7.1.2 my phone shutts itself down while I am using it, it can be while using whatsapp, browsing the internet or using apps, more than anything it fails while using the internet. The screen will either start to flicker or vertical lines will pop up and then the phone will fade to black, after this happens the phone will get really hot and to turn it back on I have to wait 5-10 minutes and hold down the power and home keys at the same time for about 15 seconds for it to turn back on, I have to wait 5-10 minutes because if I dont when I boot it back up it immediately shutts down again. This is a constant all day thing and for now i get by just making phone calls and sending regular text but I try to keep the action down to a minimum to prevent missing a phone call. I tried clearing the phone and rebooting it to original setting but this didnt fix it. After reading and speaking with several techs they tell me that ios 7.1.2 rolled out some performance adjustments one particular that affects the amp levels that the battery works at and supposedly the iphone 5 cant handle it, they explained that the phone for certain activities is asking for more or less power and the phone panics into safe mode and shutts itself down. My battery life is fine so I havent changed the battery like someone had suggested. In the diagnostic data it gives a panic.ips error. Id really like to know if there is any possible way to roll back to 7.1.1 through jailbreak or any other way, I was perfectly happy with this phone and didnt plan on buying another one for atleast 1-2 more years. If anyone can help me out this would be greatly appreciated, if not I hope apple is working to fix this.

Sorry to hear about your collections mishap, just keep in mind this is a peer to peer forum for customers and you likely will not receive the help you are looking for from Verizon.
Now you say that the account went to collections and you have paid it. So at this point I am not sure what you can negotiate anymore. I've read that if you have something in collections and tell the collecting company that you will pay them if they remove the negative mark from your credit, they will negotiate it with you.
In this situation, if things are as you say and you did not receive the final bill at the correct address, then you may have an argument to take to the credit bureaus. I would file a report with the credit bureaus and see where that takes me, also once your account goes to collections to my knowledge it doesn't have anything to do with Verizon anymore. The debt is between you and the collections company. I would try to contact them and see if you can somehow negotiate having the collection removed from your credit report seeing as the debt has been settled and the bill was never sent to your correct address.
I haven't really ever dealt with an account in collections, so this is just some helpful information I have thought of, if anything is not accurate in how you can deal with this, I apologize.

My N97 has been..

My N97 has been sent to my local nokia care centre, I turned it off since I thought I should restart my phone, just a casual restart nothing more to it, but then I tried turning it on again and BAM The Nokia logo appeared and was there to stay, I took out the battery and did EVERYTHING that has been posted in this forum but with no avail, so I had no option left but to send it to the Nokia care centre, in 5 days or so hopefully my phone will be back and better than ever..I also told them to check every little thing from A to Z..even though it was already an amazing phone I just want them to tweak everything and make it as close to PERFECT as possible; Also, An employee there said they were going to try and fix it by reinstalling the software update by Flashing it or something of that sort, and not through the internet method, and if it doesn't work..It goes to Level 3..which is where they check out the hardware and stuff, so I'm just wondering will i get an enhanced phone after the whole "Flashing process", or will it be the same? Hahaha..this is the first time I actually enjoy sending a phone over there..so yeah that's all.
Though..the only sad part is that they're going to format the phone..lol oh well, it's fun to do it all again I guess.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Flashing a phone at an NCC isn't any more special than doing it at home. It's more powerful and a lot less likely to fail, but it won't add any special features or anything, they're installing the exact same firmware available to you (unless clearly stated in the repair comments). The only kind of tweaking they may do is energy calibration which might increase your battery life, but that's about it!
As to your mass memory, generally NCC's will not format it unless it could have corrupt data or if the firmware updater does this itself.
Hope this helps you buddy

TS1717 I have exclamation marks (!) which has ruined my playlist as it doesn't function as it should. I was downloading music when a scan had started which I cancelled. Ever since then I've had these exclamation marks anyone know how to fix it?

I have exclamation marks at the beginning of the titles which has ruined my playlist as it doesn't function as it should. I was downloading music when a scan started which I then cancelled as it was slowing down my download. Ever since then I've had these exclamation marks and now these tunes are not transferrable and I've lost them in my music file on the ipod nano and so cannot reload them again. Anyone know how to remove the !!!'s or clean my files?

You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed..
Usually the actual music files are still there, so you need to check to see if you can find them.
If they are there, open iTunes and select a problem track, right click and select Get Info.
Answer NO when asked if you want to locate the track.
Now you should see where iTunes thinks the tack is located on the summary tab, how does this compare with where the track actually is.
This info should help work out what has gone wrong.

IOS7 upgrade has ruined messaging, huge delay in typing before characters appear in screen on iPhone 4

IOS7 upgrade has ruined messaging, huge delay in typing before characters appear in screen on iPhone 4. Anyone else experiencing this?

I have the exact same issue right now!

Firefox has ruined my computer and there is nowhere on the internet with a decent contact option. my question, what now?

I had to download firefox in order to access school resources. I opted to perform the advanced setup as there are a few features I didnt want. I specified in the setup that i didnt want any toolbars. basically, i opted out of everything except for the installation itself. Now that firefox has been installed, I not only have toolbars, even in other browsers, which i specifically unchecked during the installation, but they are impossible to remove. I have tried toolbar options. The option to remove doesnt exist. I have tried to uninstall the toolbar. Again, not possible. In addition, I now have popups every time I do ANYTHING on the internet. Even when not using firefox. And in addition to THAT, my computer has slowed to a dead crawl. Even when i uninstall firefox, all the terrible features remain! This browser has ruined my computer. And ironically, the toolbar I never wanted ALWAYS has an advertisement for "clean up your computer" or "Repair CP issues" or "speed up your computer" and etc. So, what now?

Looks like your computer was infected by a virus, and unless it targeted an security gap in the browser, that has nothing to do with firefox.
Your best bet would be to run some malware scans. Malwarebytes is great.

Finally got round to buying an iPhone 4, really excellent to start with. The sharing of music from my Mac Mini was excellent. ios6 update has ruined all that! The artist view miss's out most of my music and the sharing sometimes doesn't work at all!

How do I get this feature working again? I am reluctant to move to iTunes 10.7 because I don't trust Apple at the moment.

My suggestion:
1) Always using MAC AIR with the power plug in.
2)Don' let the power level of battory fall under 30% percentage.
3)If the MAC can't be recharged now, just let it be with power plugged, WAIT...

As I said in my previous reply:
If defective, Apple will exchange the iPod at no cost unless they have been abused. That applies to Apple earphones too.

I just downloaded ios7 and it has ruined my new ipad.

I just downloaded ios7 and it has ruined my new ipad (which worked perfectly with ios6)
1.spotlight search isn't doing anything. Literally not searching anything. Just a plain search bar
2. my music won't play. - just silence
3. iTunes just crashes when I go on it so I can't download any of my music.
I've tried resetting, rebooting etc.
Kinda wish I hadn't upgraded to this software as I need my pad working for uni.
Any way to fix these things or back to the shop it goes. I'd rather have my money back than keep something that isn't doing what it's supposed to do.

Do it quick. It might not work soon.

Quicktime has ruined Safari!

I've noticed that lots of people are having problems with the latest version of Quicktime. I too installed this via the Software Update option only yesterday and since then it has ruined any sites that I view with Safari, my prefered browser, but strangely not with Mozilla. I seem to get a lot of that irritating "Q" logo with a question mark super-imposed over it. Can anybody help please?

Please use the "Search Discussions" feature (upper right of this page) to learn how to fix your install of QuickTime.
Since QuickTime works as it should in a different browser proves nothing is wrong with it. Only your settings need some adjustments.

My MacBook will not turn on unless it's connected to a charger. However, when it's on and charging, it says that it has 0% battery life despite the green light on the charger. How can I fix this?

Your battery has reached the end of its life. If you have a MacBook with the removable battery you can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay.
