New phone.....Help me please!!
I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I've had it 15 days. I HATE IT!! I don't get any voice mails until I go in and manually refresh it and then sometimes I'm able to and sometimes I'm not. I just sent someone a text and it showed on my screen that it sent but he forwarded me the message that actually got sent to him. One that I sent probably 3-4 months ago. I also can't get the sounds to change on my text message alert. It still does the whistle when I have it changed to something else and it shows in settings that it is changed to a different sound. The whistle is driving me crazy. Also I'm wondering why when I turn my volume on the side down, it doesn't affect the text message or ring tones. I still get blaring loud notifications at work and if I turn it all the way down to vibrate, I either don't feel it or hear it. Last but not least, I deleted google play on accident when I first got the phone (which is my own fault) so I also can't get any apps. Does anyone have any ideas how to help me fix some of these things?
Google Play is considered a system app, and many people who think they have accidentally deleted it have actually only disabled it. Go into app manager, scroll/swipe over from the default downloaded screen over to All. Scroll down in the All page and look for Google Play Store. Is it there? Is it disabled? If so re-enable it. (If not post and let us know - there are places you can download the Google Play Store app from). After you get Google Play up and running update all your apps. (It may help with your other issues).
What text messaging app are you using? the default texting app, Verizon's message+, Google Hangouts, or something else? You could try a different texting app (some of which should have already been pre-installed), and see if that makes a difference with your texting problem.
When you're adjusting volume do you see a wheel/sprocket/tool icon on the screen? If you click on that symbol it will bring up a screen that lets you adjust different volume settings (ring tones, music/videos, alarms, notifications, etc) independently.
In addition you could try a system clear cache that fixes a lot of problems, for a lot of people (you don't loose any data).

Tryed to sync and update Iphone 3GS and it started as New phone HELP!
I tryed to sync and update my Iphone 3GS to my macbook computer. In doing so, I think I pressed start as a new phone and now I dont have a phone please help!
Go to iTunes/Settings/Devices and see if there is still a backup from the time before you synced the phone.
If yes, use it to restore from: Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software
If you're running TimeMachine as well, restore the iTunes backup folder, located here:
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac:~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

Will a new phone help? If so, how do I make it happen?
For the 7th or 8th time in less 6 days, I'm waiting for my iPhone 3G to finish restoring after in went into permanent "broken-apple logo" mode. I've tried everything I've found listed here (turning off and on before each application installation or update, doing a restore from scratch and redownloading all my applications, etc.), and nothing seems to help.
Will a new phone be any better? If so, how do I convince the "Genius" to make the exchange for me?
If a new phone won't be any better, how can I get my money back? I'm outside the 30 days, but it seems like the phone is clearly not delivering on Apple's promises (3G is iffy at best, applications seem to crash the phone and prevent using it for hours at a time). Do I talk to the manager? Someone at Apple?I'm hoping to do the same. I'm currently waiting for my 5th restore. I have little hope that a new phone will help, but I'm just out of ideas at this point. My wife also has the iPhone 3G and hers has been pretty solid. I'm thinking mine might be defective.
On a somewhat related note, am I the only one who finds the "Genius" label a bit pretentious? I don't know why but I cringe every time I hear it. It's almost as lame as "Geek Squad". -
my iphone 5 has been put in washing machine by accident and i have dried it out it works but there is water behind screen pleasehelp dont know what to do i can repair would it be best to buy new screen
HELP!!!!It is likely that the device has unrepairable harm done to it having it washed in the washing machine. However, one thing that could be tried would be to have the device placed in a glad bag full of un-cooked rice and leave it there for 72 hours to see if this will absorb residual moisture showing up on the display glass. It could be assumed that if there is that much moisture showing it's unlikely attempting to draw out moisture will be sucessful.
Good luck. -
New Phone, Help needed.. Unable to update... Please Help!!!
I just picked up a new Curve 9300 3g. I figured since OS6 is out for this model, i might as well update it to the new platform before I start using it. But I am stuck as the update does not seem to go through.
Here is what I did.
1) I installed BB desktop SW (ver 6.1.1.18). It detscts my phone, and is running fine.
2) I downloaded the Device SW(Starhub version) from the Site.
Software For BlackBerry® Curve™ 3G smartphone (model: 9300)
BlackBerry Handheld Software v6.0.0.1478 (Multilangauge)
Package Version: 6.0.0.1478
Consisting of:
Applications: 6.0.0.380
Software Platform: 6.6.0.86
File name: 9300jAsia_PBr6.0.0_rel1478_PL6.6.0.86_A6.0.0.380_StarHub_Ltd.exe
File size: 148.79MB
3) Installed the device on my PC.
4) Deleted the 'vendor.xml' file from program files/common files/RIM/apploader
5) Ran the 'loader.exe' in the same folder
After clicking next a couple of times I get an error "The BB desktop SW does not have BB device SW for the device that yo have connected to the computer... contact your.."
I am attaching a screenshot with the error. You can also see the apploader folder behind.
I have tried this in two machines one with XP and the other one with Win 7 on it.
Same result!!!
Please advice where am i going wrong.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Sadly, i dont have an answer for you, but thank you for posting this incredibly detailed post, because i have had the exact same problem.
i have gone through all the steps that you went through and came to the exact same result.
i was told from pretty well every source that what i did should of worked, so im just as lost as you are.
thankfully telus said on their offical twitter account that the 9300 will be getting an offical update by the first week of february at the latest
hope all works out for you -

New install help. Please and thanks!
I'm hoping somebody can tell me what's going wrong with my new install. Here are the details:
Win7 pro
i7 950
Quadro 4000 (with massive cooling blowing on the thing)
mxo2 mini max (because I'm slightly cheap, and yes, I feel a little like a hack plugging RCA cables rather than XLR for audio)
24g ram
Gtech 4tb graid
2 internal SATA drives (one boot, the other for utilities like tone, graphics I use often, etc.)
Software:
PremPro (AE, AME, etc) 5.51 (haven't updated to 5.52 - problem here?)
Squeeze 7
Trapcode plugins
Drivers:
NVidia: 276.14 (this is the Adobe approved one, at least so the download site said)
Matrox: mtxutils_551
So here are the issues:
--> Code 7 errors while editing a long program ("Open GL does not meet min specs for application"). Before this happens, generally premiere will become unresponsive, program screens will go black and then boom. On this program, I can get about 6 edits in before it blows.
--> Cannot export long program (2+ hours). (Matrox 1080i sequence - footage all P2 DVCPRO HD) Crashes after transcoding approximately 15-20 minutes of program. Exporting to Graid where project and footage is stored (is this an issue?) Premiere crashes and computer restarts. Tried many different export settings, from "match sequence settings" to Premiere's mpeg2 setting, to the Sorrensen and the Matrox ones.
(Adobe Tech support and a very nice guy named Vinay helped me with a small workaround which involved opening up a hidden admin login, and disabling some Microsoft services and exporting to my spare internal drive)
--> Also tried importing sequence directly into Encore and AME then transcoding through those. No luck there.
--> Premiere Pro on closing gives error message "Premiere Pro has stopped working; appcrash exception code 00005. Also, this is occasionally followed by a Visual C++ runtime error
--> Capture plugins from Matrox are unavailable. No Matrox capture settings are available.
--> No WYSUWYG control panel for MX02 (I know this is an Adobe site, but figured someone might have some insight maybe)
So there's the beginning. There are more, but these are the biggies at this point.
Thanks a million. I'm a very busy one man shop and sincerely appreciate any other busy people taking the time to give me some input on this.
ShaunnThanks Jim. Yeah, that was my suspicion as well. Right out of the box their damm plug-ins didn't install correctly, and it takes roughly a week to get familiar with all the "known issues" - a phrase that irritates me to no end - (if there are known issues - FIX EM before you sell me your s*%t! Can you imagine delivering a project to a client with a 14 page list of "known issues"?!?!? Seriously!)
There was a point where I really loved my Matrox products back in the old Digisuite days. But there was this point where their world class tech support policies changed, and frankly it seems that was the point where the whole company became hack. I was pretty skeptical about buying the mxo2 in the first place because of this, allowed myself to be "sold" because I needed to get back to work quickly, put the problem out of my mind and get back to work...and now I'm dealing with this.
Thanks for the link. I think you're right, it would be nice if Adobe would address monitoring through a gpu. But I'm guessing that won't be until CS6.5, by which point we'll all have to paying Adobe a monthly subscription vig to use their products. This crap irritates me to no end. I would love to see a reasonably priced and robust editing system that works like a hammer. I'm a busy 2 man shop - I gotta pound my video nails quickly and get on to the next house.
Assuming I get rid of matrox...what's the best current solution for monitoring? Doesn't sound like Aja or Blackmagic have any better solutions.

Syncing iphone on new computer - help needed please
Hi Everyone
I am stuck on a problem I have been trying to fix for a few hours with no luck after searching the community forums.
Last week we bough a new PC and set up iTunes one the new PC transfering the iTunes library successfully from the old PC to the new one.
All songs came across and appears to be working OK and iTunes is now looking at the correct library.
Tonight my son connected his iPhone to the PC to add songs. Problem is it wouldn't let him add any songs.
Went into his device and checked the 'Manually Manage Music' and when I went to 'Apply' I got a message saying that this phone was not sync with this PC but with another library, which I assume is the library from the old PC, which I transferred.
The message said that if I sync everything will be deleted and updated from the new library.
If I do this does it mean that ALL his songs will deleted?
There are about 1000 songs on the iPhone and he doesn't want to have to manually add them all again.
So, what will happen if I do select Sync? Will it delete his songs and he will have to reload?
Or will it delete the songs and replace them with the songs new library that are already on his iPhone?
Does that make sense?"Went into his device and checked the 'Manually Manage Music' and when I went to 'Apply' I got a message saying that this phone was not sync with this PC but with another library, which I assume is the library from the old PC, which I transferred."
This is correct. Iphone will sync or maually manage with one and only one computer ar a time. Sycning or manually managing with another will indeed erase teh current content and replace with the selected content from the new computer.
If you have moved everything from the old computer to the new one, then hes should be able to sync everything right back to the iphone from the computer. -
How much Ram do I need? (getting a new laptop, help me please!)
Hi!
So I'm in the market for a new laptop since my current one can't manage at all.
I've found an MSI laptop that I really want :
http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GS70-STEALTH.html#specification
It's a gaming laptop but it's got all the specs I've been looking for and the thiness and lightness of it is just astounding.
The only problem is that it's only able to have 16 GB of RAM, will this be enough?
I mostly use Premiere pro cs6 where I'm confident that 16 GB will be enough, I'm a bit worried about After effects cs6 though. I don't use AE everyday and when I do it's as a hobby but I do still sometimes use it quite a bit, at the same time as running Premiere. And once I get a laptop that can actually handle AE I will probably start using it more.
So what do you think, will 16 GB of Ram be enough?
I am currently using a laptop with only 6 GB (and it's a nightmare, although the other specs of this laptop aren't really worth smiling about either)
I would really appreciate any and all help!
/Lisa> I just recently realised that the graphic cards in all of the laptops I've been looking at are not supported by neither Premiere pro cs6 nor After effects cs6.
That is not a correct characterization.
The GPUs that you list are supported for use by these applications.
In the case of After Effects, there is one---and only one---feature that doesn't work on the cards that you list... and it's a feature that you don't need to worry about: GPU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer. That's all.
Put differently:
"IMPORTANT: A common misconception is that After Effects requires CUDA features of one of a specific set of Nvidia GPUs. That is not true. Only the GPU-accelerated ray-traced 3D renderer requires this. The other GPU features work on any GPU that meets certain basic requirements, including AMD and Intel GPUs. See below for details."
(from this page: GPU (CUDA, OpenGL) features in After Effects CS6 and After Effects CC)
The case of Premiere Pro is only somewhat different. You can use all of the features in the application; it's just that some of them will be faster with a certain GPU. Details:
http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2011/02/cuda-mercury-playback-engine-and-adobe-premiere -pro.html
Also, the CC versions of these applications allow you to use any GPU that meets certain requirements for the features described above. It is here that you do enter into "unsupported" territory, because enabling the usage of the GPU for these features can put the system into an untested and unsupported state. -

I ordered an iPhone 5s in early September from the orange shop in Chamonix Mont-Blanc France.
I needed a new phone as i dropped my iPhone and broke it so it thought i would upgrade.
I was asked in the shop if I wanted a black or white one, I asked for a Black one, as all my iPhones have all been Black as I DON'T LIKE White ones. (sorry)
I was told my phone would arrive in a week so I waited with broken phone for new one. The following week I was told it would be the following week, the following week i was told the same but the assistant in the shop told me they would ring me when it arrived. Three days later i recieved a text from the shop to say the phone would be in tomorrow, when I went in they said it had not arrived and they would call me when it was in the shop.
They called me on Thursday the 17th of October to say the phone was in the shop.
I arrived at the shop at 6:00pm after my work, the shop closes at 7:00pm. I recieved the phone, signed for it and extra unwanted insurance with I was told I could only canceled in a month. I was then told they didn't have any sim cards in the shop, i said no problem the Phone i assume will need charging so i will take it home and charge it and return for the sim tomorrow.
So the Phone remained boxed.
When I returned home and opened the box I realised it was a white one, I replaced the lid put it back in the bag, and returned it to the shop first thing Friday 18th October, to point out the error, only to be told "to bad" ?? I was told I could have changed it the night before but not this morning? They said I had ordered a Black one but as I had signed for a White one nothing can be done. I was angry and left the shop. I returned later the same day with a French friend to try and resolve this problem, as I wasn't sure if something was being lost in translation. I didn't think I was being unreasonable, it is a very expensive piece of equipment and this wasn't what i wanted. They told my friend that the phone was not available in Black, that was the 5, and that the 5s was only available in silver and gold, and that mine was a silver one.
I then thought it was my mistake as it was a new phone. She put a sim in the phone put it in the box and I left for a business meeting only to arrive and see a Black iPhone 5s sitting on the table??
So I then returned back to the shop with the Black one and mine still all boxed and untouched to prove they had blatantly lied to me an hour ago, only to be told that there was nothing they were prepared to do.
Is this fair practice ? I am at a loss with this and am looking for help ?Welcome to the Support Communities. This Apple doc may be of interest:

A minor point, but it may avoid a little confusion if, instead of saying "black" in reference to the iPhone 5s, say "space gray":
"iPhone 5s — Available in silver, gold, and space gray" (Source)
