Newbie: I am lost as to the Amber update process

Hey, I don't know when I'll receive the Amber update. I know that there's a list that shows you the update availability by country and carrier. The problem is that I live in a small country called Guyana that doesn't make it on to the list. So is there some way that I can get the update? Does Nokia have a solution for niche users that aren't on some big carrier? Or am just left behind? Would love to know because I need the updated battery life and processing API to curb my 920's overheating problem.
UPDATE: My phone was purchased overseas through the American Bestbuy website
SKU :1463241
UPC : 899794011237

Here's my info (no carrier listed and no carrier branding on phone). I can't figure out what variant this phone is. I know RM 820 signifies North American but the full manufacturer code is RM-820_Ita_Ita1_275 and I can't find any reference to it on the net. It's not a knockoff phone. I purchased it from Bestbuy and the features, MS services, camera quality and previous OS updates all came through fine. The last time I updated my phone was a few weeks ago when I recieved an update notification and performed the update over wifi without flashing or plugging into the computer. Does Nokia have a public list of phone variants? At this point I'm thinking that it has to be dependent on AT&T since the RM-820 in the manufacturer code signifies North American and AT&T is the only carrier with Amber pending.

Why is the Amber update different for ATT and China? For Lumia 520, it could tap to unlock but, in china, this function is disappeared disappear. Could you give an expain as the matching hardware, otherwise I think it's a definately discriminatory to Chinese.

Double tap to unlock is not available for any 520, anywhere in the world. See link below. You should always check first before making allegations.

HT201210 Ok so I'm trying to update my iPad, and it keeps "timing out." I got to the actual update process, and it failed and asked me to restore my iPad, but I just can't lose all of my apps and photos! Someone please help.

Ok so I'm trying to update my iPad, and it keeps "timing out." I got to the actual update process, and it failed and asked me to restore my iPad, but I just can't lose all of my apps and photos! I payed for a lot of my apps, and my photos are just too important. Someone please help!

If rhe apps and photos are that important you made sure that you took the steps in order to keep them safe in an event like this didn't you?
You did backup the iPad before you decided to update the iPad correct?
And you did transfer all of your apps and other purchases into iTunes before you decided to update correct?
If you did, just restore the iPad and then restore from the backup at the end of fhe process and follow that with a sync with iTunes and you will lose nothing,
Now if you didn't do any of the precautionary steps ....

The resource requires a restart to complete the patch update process

Has anyone seen this message?
"The resource requires a restart to complete the patch update process"
Ever since I updated Safari to 7.1 on my MacBook Air on Friday, I've been getting this pop up every couple of hours. It tells me that the computer will restart automatically in five minutes if action is not taken. So I can either restart manually or postpone the restart. I've never seen this type of pop up on a Mac before so I hesitate to restart. It just doesn't look like an update Apple would have. Attached is a screen grab. Please let me know if you know what this might be for. I just want to make sure nothing has infected the Mac. Thanks

Have you downloaded anything lately?
It might be adware.

Just download the Amber update for my 820 - proble...

Just downloaded Amber update. Some nice features added...if they worked.
The glance screen is set to peek and clock and notifications --> on. night mode --> off
When i hover my hand over the display, all i get is the clock but no notifications or battery symbol. I still need to to press the button on the side to see i have a new message/missed call.
When i turn clock and notifications off, but glance mode set to peek, the glance screen does not appear at all, which is the expected behavior. All the other glance mode settings (always on, interval) do not show notifications or battery life either - just the clock.
The double tap to wake also does not work. Can anyone shed some light on this problem please, i have already tried a soft reset.
PS i am a keen Q.A. tester, so if Nokia need help testing/resolving defects - i am your man!
Solved!

I lost artwork after the latest update?

After the latest update I lost most of my artwork but oddly not all of it. I am now trying to fix the issue and have run into a roadblock: the artwork won't take. I've tried several different approaches to adding the artwork but none of them are showing up on my iPad, though it looks like they are there on my iMac. I manually manage my music so I can't sync the stuff. When I tried deleting an album and replacing it my iTunes freaked out ("preparing to update" and a swirly mouse pointer is all I get.)
How do I fix this issue?
I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to having the artwork boxes filled so this is driving me a bit crazy... ugh.

Okay. You've mentioned an iPad and an iMac and iTunes. So what brings you to the iBook Discussions?
When posting in one of those other discussion areas, it may be helpful to include which version the OS and iTunes you're running on the Mac you're using to sync the iPad.

As anyone else lost Bluetooth after the last update?

I updated my software this morning and ever since bluetooth is not available and I can't switch it back on. Anyone else having issues? Thanks

No, you cannot keep using Safe Mode, but it indicates that some third-party startup item is interfering with Bluetooth. I have no idea what that could be. Do you have any third-party devices or software that uses bluetooth?
This program, written by one of the contributors here, will show what you have installed:

I lost sound with the last update, how can I get it back?

Working with Windows Vista home Premium. All worked before update to firefox 13.0.1. Other sound works but internet sound is gone.

Many sites use the Flash player for audio, as well as video. Could you review this article and see whether it helps? [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

The jnlp update process is corrupting the cache through hotspot network

Hi all,
This post is about a problem from the Java cache. We have a jnlp file responsible of updating our app (so we cannot put it “offline”). The problem is that some of our users run the application behind a hotspot network through wireless. In this case, they have no access to Internet but the java webstart mechanism try to download the JNLP in despite of this. In this case, JWS downloads the HTML login page and put it in its cache without any check. In consequence, the next access through shortcut is impossible.
Is it a known issue and is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance for your replies

FYI
We have removed the tag href from jnlp file and it's now ok. The jnlp is never updating but it's ok for us.

Stuck with the software update process (to the 8.1.3) and didn't find any help on the Support section, what can I do?

Dear Community
For the second time I tried upgrading my iPhone 5S to the latest software, the iOS 8.1.3, but as I expected, it failed. The process stops and my phone gets stuck on the same "software upgrade screen" without proceeding. The first time this happened I had to contact the iDoctor/Apple Support to get some help. However I was told there was nothing they could do, so, as my phone was still in warranty, they gave me a new one. I tried reseting,'backuping', restoring and syncing, but none of that helped. I look forward to hearing from you and I hope you can help, because I am still with a non-working cellphone. Thank you,
Yours faithfully,
Bruna

If this is the second iPhone that does that, visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store instead of contacting Apple Support over the phone. They can update the phone for you, just to make sure that your backup data or iTunes on your computer has nothing to do with that.
You can find Authorized Apple Service Providers or the next Apple Store by using this link:

AT&T and Lumia Amber Update DELAYS and delivery ti...

1) AT&T customers who are also Lumia owners now know that AT&T missed the Nokia deadline for all Lumia phones receiving the Amber update by 9/30/2013.
2) Here is an AT&T Facebook session I had with Nicole L. yesterday. You will note their (AT&T's) best answer is we affirmatively will receive the update in a few weeks:
My post - "AT&T Decision Makers (particularly in AT&T Mobility),
Several hours ago we passed 9/30/2013. Over a month ago the Nokia Corporation published a statement (see http://conversations.nokia.com/2013/08/30/lumia-amber-your-questions-answered/ ) that Amber updates would roll-out world-wide by 9/30/2013.
Along the past month, queries to customer care reps and social media "managers" about the release date of Amber (and GDR2) were routinely met with condescending replies that we're (AT&T) working as quickly as possible, please be patient, stay tuned, updates can be challenging to implement properly, and so on.
Now, several thousand Lumia owners who are AT&T customers are left to ask two questions. The first requires only an affirmative or negative response, the second an actual calendar date.
1) Are Nokia Lumia owners who are AT&T customers going to receive via OTA the Amber (Pr2) and GDR2 updates?
2) If #1 is answered in the affirmative, then what exactly is the AT&T deadline for OTA availability? If answered in the negative, exactly why are your customers not going to receive a manufacturer certified equipment update?
Thank you for your prompt and concise reply."
AT&T's reply: "AT&T Affirmative, Michael. Our best answer is a few weeks. It's been a long road, but I hope you'll be happy with the update when it gets to your device. Thanks for your patience! - Nicole L. "
In a conversation I had with AT&T Customer Care rep "LaTonya", she was unable to confirm a timeframe. I made mention of the fact that when Apple sneezes AT&T gets a cold; however when Nokia speaks AT&T yawns. LaTonya enjoyed my observation.
Is there a way to press Nokia USA corporate into advocacy on our behalf?
Thanks!

Actually what it said was:
With Lumia Amber we expect to have the update arriving in all Lumia Windows Phone 8 phones by the end of September. Be patient – it’s coming!
So there is no deadline like you claim and Nokia would never make such claims. That said, you bought an ATT device made by Nokia and as such ATT is the company ultimately responsible for this. It is up to them to approve the update and allow it to be made available to their product(range).

AT&T Amber Update Lumia 920

I was the first person in my state to have a white 920. It was the only one available according to the rep, to the dismay of everyone in line behind me. (I was first in line at the store ) I have been amazingly pleased with the updates, in both speed of release and quality. Up til now.
My girlfriend liked my phone so much that she bought the 928 when it came out for verizon. But she has received the Amber update. Its been about a month since she has updated her phone to Amber but according to AT&T, its still waiting for approval!!!
I understand that it is up to the carrier to release the update, but it is leading me to believe that either AT&T is dropping priority of Windows Phone or something isnt right with the update. They used to roll out updates almost immediately. I know i'm being impatient, but it is already early September, the latest that we were supposed to get the update. It is almost mid September.
What's the hold up? Is Nokia fixing issues that were causing problems on AT&T's network, or is the priority of WP slipping?

It is September 27,and AT&T still has not released the Amber update. This isn't news to anybody waiting for the update, but I want to state the facts. Nokia released a statement that all Lumia handsets would receive the update by September 30th, which gives big blue 3 more days to release the update before stated timeframe expires. It also give Nokia 3 days to address any possible issues with the update that might delay the release further. At this point, I continue to hold out hope that one or the other occurs.
However, if neither the update is released by AT&T, nor another public statement is issued by Nokia regarding delays by the 30th of September, you will start to see posts on every public forum and social media available slamming BOTH companies for not supporting their customers.
These are the facts.
If anyone from Nokia or AT&T cares to respond, consider this a formal request.
Sincerely,
A loyal customer and supporter of Nokia and Windows Phone since day one.

Missing MSVCR80.dll after the latest update solved.

To all of you who lost iTune after the latest update, obviously there were some kind of bugs at their end. Very annoying. But here is the fix you can do it yourself. And don't worry your iTune is intact inluding your library.
First, you have to uninstall every Apple product via Control Panel, Program Uninstall. In that list you should have 4 Apple items; Apple Applicaiton Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Software Update, and iTunes. Uninstall them one by one.
Imoortant ot re-boot the system.
Then go to www.apple.com/itunes/, and look for the download button. That's it. As you go through the steps, be sure to instll as amdministrator.
You should get back your old iTunes with nothing missing.

Apple have a recommended order for uninstalling the components, and there are some other tips below...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
