New K1 owner unhappy with GPS

What's the deal with the GPS on my new K1? It never can get a lock on satellites no matter how long I leave it out in the open sky.
Is there a software fix for this or should I consider warranty return / replacement?

I tested it (stood under the sun for 5 minutes) Google maps was unable to get a lock ... Download a app called GPS test, the app was able to get a lock on 6 satellites ...
Will escalate a case to engineering.

Help a new Mac owner out with my iPhone

Yesterday I purchased the new 13.3 Macbook, and so far I'm learning what all the new computer has to offer. I'm a new mac user, and all of this is new to me... heck, I'm just not very savy when it comes to ANY computer.
I'm at the step where I need to sync my iPhone to iTunes. I plugged in the phone, hit sync, and when it was finished - all my contacts were there, but all of the applications are gone.
Only the original ones remain, the ones that were there when I purchased the phone.
Is there a setting I'm missing here?

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only. When syncing iTunes content with iTunes on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
You need to transfer your iTunes library from the computer you were syncing iTunes content with for your iPhone to your new Mac. If you live near an Apple Store, the store will help you do this with a new Mac purchase. The same for photos and any other data available on your previous computer that you want/need available on your Mac.

I am a long time iTunes user but a new MacBook owner! I keep the majority of my music files on an external hard drive. I'm trying to view all those files on my MacBook through iTunes. With windows you would go to : File/Add To Library, and iTunes would add all your selected files to your music library BUT WOULD NOT COPY THEM TO YOUR HARD DRIVE. In other words, if the external hard drive was connected, you could listen, drag/drop, and edit the files. When I tried the same thing with my new MacBook... it actually started coping the files to my MacBook harddrive. I don't want that, it's millions and millions of mp3's that I don't want to keep on my computer, only my external hard drive. Can anyone help? I'm sure it's something easy, I'm just so new to the Mac world. Being an iPhone owner for many many years I'm picking up things fast, but this is getting the best of me! Help !

In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

I am a new iPad owner with Mac OS 10.4.11. Currently I have iTunes 9.2.1. What do I need to do to be able to sync my iPod settings in iTunes to my iPad? The newest version of iTunes says I can't install since it requires 10.5 or later.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

I received my new Verizon Edge bill in the mail and it is $80 higher than my old plan. I have been so unhappy with this change over. Went through hell getting our second phone activated because of a weird computer glitch and when we asked if we would receive any consideration for the time, travel, and money we put into getting the phones the way they were supposed to be, we were told to wait until the bill came and then they could make adjustments. Now I have the bill and have no idea "who" the we would be that could make adjustments. To top it off, the only way I know my account will get any attention is to post this in chat. I am so disappointed and will be counting the months until our phones are paid off and we can change companies.

I just purchased a new device using Verizon Edge. Why does my bill look higher than normal?
There’s two reasons why your first bill after signing up for Edge might be higher than normal:
Prorate Charges – If you upgraded an existing line and did a price plan change, you may have price plan charges and credits that went into effect the day you upgraded.
Sales Tax – Most states require sales tax on the full retail price paid by the customer, which in most instances will be charged at the time of the first invoice.
Note: Customers who purchased devices in AL, AZ, CO, IL, NM, ND or SD will be billed taxes and surcharges monthly as payments are made.
Your bill will normally include:
Your last Edge installment payment
The next Edge installment charge
If you are on a MORE Everything Plan, a monthly access discount for each qualifying line.
The details of Edge installments and discounts can be viewed at the line level portion of your bill under Monthly Charges and Equipment Charges, or in My Verizon, My Bill then Charges By Line.

TS1398 I did everything you are recommend to do and still cannot connect to the network. "Unable to join network" shows up even that is a university network working for other users - students and staff. I am very unhappy with my new iphone 5 :(

I did everything recommended on apple store support site and still cannot connect to the network with my new iphone 5 but my co-workers and students (I work for the university) can keep connectivity all the time. I am very unhappy with my new phone

Be patient, Apple is coming out with a update soon, its been reported that they have sent the update to the carriers to test, which means it will be soon. And is suppose to address this issue.

Defective Keyboard on new HP DV7. I am so unhappy with HP.

I am totally frustrated and unhappy with HP. I just purchased an HP DV7-1285. Within two weeks of owning this $1200.00 laptop, the paint on the keyboard is rubbing off leaving my keys unreadable.
Online customer support could not help except to say that I should mail my p.c. into a service center to be repaired. They would not send me a new keyboard for me to replace myself.
I am so unhappy with HP. I have never had this problem wth Dell or the other manufacturers of p.c.'s.
Does anyone have a clue what I can do?
Thanks!

You have to send the unit in to HP for repair, because the keyboard is not classified as a user-replaceable part. These are their warranty terms.
If you don't want to do that, you could always purchase the keyboard and install it yourself.

New A7ii owner with improvement suggestions

having recently migrated from a micro four third camera here is what I found:... but love the A7 ii overall the app Sony Smart remote control leave something to be desired.... aka GPS data does not work to be transferred back to the camera images RAW files or jpg like on Olympus...(only the ones that were transferred to the phone in the phone show gps location) But the photos and RAW's in the camera won't get updated with GPS location data.
Camera time does not sync with smart phone time when the phone and camera are synced (Olympus does that) useful when travel to different time zone.
however can be done in LR afterwards with a gpx file.... but could also be improved with Sony Firmware upgrade
Then there is no copyright info input in camera... however can be done when importing the images into LR. Just if you email or post the jpg's right away you have no copyright info in your image exif files.
but could also be improved with Sony Firmware upgrade

Don, to re-state the primary issue in discussion: we need the FTP service to set read AND write for a user's group when at the time that the user transfers the file through FTP for the very first time (the file did not previously exist on the server).
Are you saying that enabling and using ACLs on the shares is a way to make this happen?
So far, my research has led me to command-line edits of the FTP configuration files to set "umasks" and "upload clauses" that the FTP service uses. It seems that Tiger Server uses "WU-FTP", but unfortunately the WU-FTP website has been down this entire week, so I'm searching the Web for how-to's.
If ACLs are the answer, this would most likely be a better approach. I just need to ensure that there are no issues when activating ACLs on a server that has not had them before.
Thanks,
Ted

Unhappy With Veterans United Lighthouse Program- Anyone know about breaking the agreement?

We started on the Veterans United Lighthouse program at the end of May, at that time, we had two of our three credit scores over the 600 mark and were told we only needed to gain 19 points on our credit score to be preapproved for a loan. When contacting them, we had planned on paying off some delinquent medical debt to help our score but they said not to touch it that all we needed to do is open one credit card account and that would probably do it for us... the lady suggested Wells Fargo for the card... and we were rejected and lost points on our credit score. We did find a card that approved us but then also saw another drop on our score. Anytime we call to try and get direction or answers to questions, she gives us conflicting advice... and now that our credit score fell she says "maybe you should pay down that medical debt"... this is what they told us not to touch when we began. It's very frustrating.We were supposed to at least be under contract and moving forward by now because we need to move to a different city for my husband's job in August but now she says it will take several more months... we are VERY unhappy with the service (or lack of service) we've gotten there and think it would just be better to handle our credit on our own because all she's done is give advice that caused it to fall. SO, here's my question... when we started the Lighthouse program, we signed an agreement that said something like "if you use the lighthouse program you agree to use us for your VA loan"- so now that we are very unhappy with the program, are we still bound to use them for a VA loan? I have read so many negative comments about Veterans United since I started myFICO message boards yesterday and this is very concerning for me. This form I signed was a digital, online form so I don't have a copy (I know, that was dumb of me to sign it- we were recommended to the program by a friend of ours who had a good experience so our guard was down a bit). ANY ADVICE?Current credit scores are now: 586, 602 & 583... rental houses are very expensive where we're moving to and we really NEED to buy but now it seems unatainable.

Welcome to the forums! If you want to make gains in your score, my first and always recommendation is to do the following: 1) Post all your negatives and ask for help resolving them in the Rebuilding Your Credit forum, there may be some simple quick wins for getting them deleted.2) Post the whole darned enchilada in Understanding FICO Scoring: card limits and balances, loans, negatives, etc; this is for putting lipstick on the pig to optimize an instant in time pull. We're not FICO employees but this forum and one or two other places online are the next best thing when it comes to FICO optimization. LO's unfortunately often don't know what they're talking about when it comes to FICO scoring, though your LO was right the first time, don't touch those medical collections by simply paying them, if you can't get them deleted they will not help your credit score and might even bring it down further. The card advice, ugh, there's very few circumstances where that would have helped immediately and there's always a tradeoff involved with opening a new account when we're weighing potential advice on that front. I don't know anything about that particular program but hopefully someone will be able to give you better information on that. Thank you for the advice- I'll give it a try!
