Nokia N8 "redish" dysplay issue (possible FIX!)

I was comparing phones with a friend today (we both have the N8) and he has an "display bug", that I experience in a very low percentage.
We had the idea to test using the Light Sensor. It worked. When he put direct light into the senzor, forcing it to give the display maximum power and no "worked" colors (in the same way the HDMI outputs), the bug completely went away.
So this tells me it is a software issue, probably the driver for the video chip needs some rethinking.
I've posted this here in hopes that someone from the Dev team would come across my post and fix the software. The bug is best viewed opening the attached image.
Thank you and have a nice day

2.2.1.23 Sync Issue 'Possible' Fix

Sorry if this is already out there - there are so many posts, I wasn't sure.
Like so many of you I have had sync issues with the latest update - 2.2.1.23
I got the following reply from Nokia Customer Services when I sent them a **bleep** email and having followed this, my N95 now syncs automatically again on 2.2.1.23
I think the secret is in 5,6 & 7 as I had tried everything else. If, like me, you are running Vista, for 5 & 6 look for and delete any Nokia folder in C:\Users\<my user>\AppData
1. Disconnect phone from PC
2. Go to Control Panel-> Add and remove programs.
3. Uninstall ALL Nokia software. The Ovi, driver, software updater etc etc.
4. Restart windows
5. Once restart is complete, go to C:\Documents and Settings\<my user>\Application Data. Delete all Nokia folders
6. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<my user>\Local Settings\Application Data and delete all Nokia folders
7. Go to C:\Program Files\ and delete all Nokia folders
8. Download latest Nokia Ovi suite from the web (Nokia_Ovi_Suite_webinstaller.exe)
9. Install latest Nokia Ovi and try to resync again.
Good luck one and all

Sorry folks - bad news - it has failed again and now it is worse than ever.
I will update if I get a fix.

Invalid pre-shared wpa key issue possible fix (E63...

Hi. i had a problem with autenthification for my phone, invalid pre-shared wpa key error message. i had to put my wireless router on discoverable mode(unhide your SSID). this is a security change to your wi-fi router, note that you're going to be more vulnerable(but still you'll have the wep/wpa keys activated, so you dont have to worry about hat.) this fixed my problem, hope will fix your too.

i found the solution myself!!!...what i did was, i went to Settings > Connectivity > Destinations > Internet > Options > New access point > clicked on the wlan that I wanted to add and that's it! I can connect now to the wi-fi connection in my home... hope this could help others

After Effects error: Could not launch Adobe Analysis Server (515) ( 25 :: 101) *POSSIBLE FIX*

Hi. Im New to the forums so sorry in advance if i do something incorrect
Since my Purchase of Adobe CS6, I was not able to use dynamic link, or the plugins that required you to connect to the Adobe Analysis Server (3d Tracker, Warp Stablizer ETC) It would always give me the error
After Effects error: Could not launch Adobe Analysis Server (515)
( 25 :: 101)
Or if i would use dynamiclink
The Importer created a generic error
Through hours and hours searching through the internet, and trying possible fixes, i found possible fixes that might help people with this error.
*Before attempting any of these fixes, make sure you reinstall CS6 Using the Adobe Cleaner*
This guide is for Windows OS Only.
If the error still presists, try these options
-If your windows account is not a administrator, Run Adobe After Affects CS6 As Administrator
-Disable your Anti-Virus and your Firewall
I know you have probably heard this over and over again, but this is mainly the cause of the problem. Some Anti-Viruses even when disabled, go into some sort of one eyed open mode, where it still monitors your computer ever so slightly, so you may want to uninstall the anti-virus. As for the firewall,
1) Go to your start menu search "Check Firewall Status"
2)Then to the left of the window, click Turn Windows Firewall on or off
3)Then tick "Turn of Windows Firewall" on BOTH Home or work network and Public Network.
-Close and Uninstall filtering and spyware programs such as Netnanny and Premiere Opinion. This might be using the TCP Ports that is needed for After effects, dynamic link and adobe analysis server to communicate
-Start up Adobe Analysis server Manually. This can be done by going to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS6\Support Files and running Adobe Analysis server.exe as Adminisrator, Then starting Premiere, After effects, etc.
-If the Adobe Cleaner didnt already, Clean your registry. This can be done with free applications such as CCleaner.
If none of those options work, I would suggest a full format and reinstall of windows.
I hope this would help people with this issue.

I'm running the latest version. Just installed yesterday.
You can download and install the latest version (and older versions) of versions 11, 12, and 13 from Adobe right now. That is why I was asking for the exact version number with decimals. Just the other day, someone said they were running the latest version and they weren't aware that CC was even a thing. They were running version 11.0.3 (which isn't even the latest version of CS6 - it's 11.0.4). That's why I always ask.

I'm on a Mac so I don't have anti-malware, or other security software running.
That doesn't seem like a good idea. While there can't be anything technically referred to as a "virus" on the Mac OS (due to the underlying structure), there can be (and are) malware variants out there that do attack machines running the Mac OS. As Apple products have grown in popularity, developers have been creating more and more malware aimed at OSX.
I certainly hope you at least have your firewall running.
captain_astronaut wrote:
I tried launching Premiere yesterday and it crashed.
This points to a much more serious underlying problem. Thousands (if not millions) of people are running Premiere and After Effects on Macs. What sort of error messages did you receive when it crashed?
Try installing version 12 of AE and the previous version of Premiere as well and see if they run.

Possible fix for embed tag problems in Safari 5.1 - Quicktime 7.6.6

I would be grateful if anyone can confirm the following problem and fix:
A user of my website reported that embedded audio (mp3) files ceased playing after installing Safari 5.1 on OS X 10.6.8. I updated my test machine's Safari from 5.0 to 5.1 and confirmed the issue. Some audio would play, some wouldn't. Wierder, a random selection of Javascript-triggered embedded audio would report, "Error calling method on NPObject".
I had a very similar issue with 64-bit Mac Firefox 5 and Quicktime Plug-in 7.6.6. In the case of Firefox 5, the fix was to open Get Info... on Firefox and select 32-bit mode (this also stopped an annoying Quicktime dialog).
The Safari problem with embedded mp3's didn't occur under a fresh user account, so I came up with a possible fix:
In Safari, choose "Empty Cache...", followed by "Reset Safari", checking only "Remove all website data" (if you don't want to lose your auto-fill, passwords and history).
My system seems to have recovered its senses... I'm just wondering if the fix above was what did the trick.
Cheers,
Chris

I followed these steps and it did not fix my problem. I still click on an mp3 link and it downloads, rather than opening in the browser.
It gives me the option of choosing, and works both ways (download/open) in Firefox.
sample link: AccNoir+Fest+2011+PRA+mp3.mp3
Curiously, if I click "Open With" on the dowloaded file and tell it to open in Safari, it opens fine like I want. So it's not that Safari can't, it just isn't being told properly.

A possible fix for adobe reader icons on windows 2000 with SP4

*This is not a problem! I am posting here because I have received help from some other part of this problem and I have read in other places where people have problems with making the pdf icon appear.*
If the icons won't show after installing adobe reader 9 on your computer, then there is a possible fix you guys can try. Right click on 'Start' for explorer or click on 'My Computer'.
Click Tools > Folder Options > File Types (tab)
Try to find the pdf extension in that long list of extensions.
Below the 'Change...' button, it should read 'Restore' (i'm not sure about this). Click on it once so that it should now read 'Advanced'.
The restore function is to restore the icons to those files which have lost their identities, so to speak.

No issues when setting back as per you instruction below.
Thank you very much.
Why would I have such an experience in the first place?
Rgds,
Dave

Possible Fix for the 3.1.1 app crash problem

THIS IS A POSSIBLE FIX ONLY!!!
So like many of you I upgraded to 3.1.1 and after the update all of my apps would no longer work. They contiually crashed to the home screen when I tried to open them. I tried downloading random new apps, deleting all my apps and re-installing them with no luck. I tried reseting the iPod and even restoring it through iTunes. I also tried de-authorizing and re-authorizing my computer. None of these things worked for me. Today I tried to go back to the 2.2.1 update (which is the only one I could find that would download) when I tried to upload that onto my iPod I got an error #20 so I ended up restoring back to 3.1.1 the only difference was i told iTunes to start my iPod as a new one instead of loading it from a backup. This actually worked, the only downside was I lost my favourited websites and all the saved info in my apps but hey, atleast they work.
So long story short try wiping your iPod clean and restoring as a brand new one with the 3.1.1 and it might just just work.

I just purchased the 64GB iPod touch and it had the same issues from the start. While I had the same issue with the apps I also had intermittent problems with movies not working. I reset the entire iPod touch 64gb and re-synced as 'new' (described earlier) and it is working for now. I am planning on loading some new apps and movies and re-syncing to see if it stays working.
Also, I upgraded from 3.1.1 to 3.1.2 and everything stopped working again. I am staying on 3.1.1 as long as this solution keeps working until I see something from Apple addressing this issue.
Apple usually does a better job with their software. I am hoping that this is only a software issue and not a hardware issue.

Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7, losing connection after sleep, restart

Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7, Airport, losing connection after sleep, restart, or cold reboot.
Issue: (For OS X 10.5.7 on iMac5,1, Intel Core 2 Duo)
=============================================

5.Restart computer. Test a web page.
6.Shut down & Start computer. Test a web page.
7.When everything is working fine, you can delete the extra location that you created in step #1.
8.Click the lock on the left lower corner of the Network Preference window to safeguard the setting.

If my assessment is correct, the LIDE 200 driver is version 14.8.1 and dated 26-Sep-2008. It is possible that the driver will not work with the latest version of OSX. I would advise that you contact Canon and ask them the question.
(Removed link because of the way Flash drives the Canon site).
It is not uncommon (though irritating) that devices no longer work when an OS is upgraded. One has to ask the question if (or why) the driver was not written in such a way as to be OS version independent.
Chris
I spoke to Canon over here in Australia. Not helpful at all. In fact they were about as useful as an ashtray on on motorcycle. Having said that the tech seemed to think that there would be an update soon. But that is assuming that Canon are aware that there is a problem with that Scanner under OS X 10.5.7.

A possible fix to messages not being downloaded from the server?

there is a previous post about this that has been archived with no solution. i googled this problem and found only a bunch of people saying "yeah, i have this problem too". so i'm posting this to see if my theory helps anyone.
the error on my new 3g iphone read "the message has now been downloaded from the server" after i set my exchange account to push emails to my phone. so i checked my calendar to see if that synced up. i noticed that my date was all wrong. so i went in to general settings and fixed the date. once i did that i was able to read all my emails from my phone.
to test that i set the date to be a year from now and i got the same error. i changed the date back to the correct day, restarted my phone and i could download all my messages once again.
my theory is that typically servers do not like a dissonance like that between it and the device it syncs to. could anyone out there with the same issue confirm or deny this possible fix?

No one goes home tonight until the WiFi issue is fixed

I wouldn't let anyone go home tonight at Apple until this WiFi problem has been licked. Let's see some action here folks.
Anyone having any luck with the Genuis bar besides being given a new iPad with the same issues as old?

Graham,
If that's true, then wouldn't the issue be fixed if we turned off N and made the router G only? I've done that and still have the same issue.
Wouldn't I have the same tendencies using a different computer? I have a PC desktop, two PC laptops, a Macbook... heck, even my Xbox 360, PS3, and PSP Go don't have issues talking to the router.
I've tried every trick that I can find on these forums or think of myself. None of them fix my particular problem (wi-fi goes into standby mode and will not re-connect until I turn it off and on). I've tried it at multiple locations, one of which only had a B&G router.
I'm not getting on your case, Graham... but it's not an issue with the routers.
Here's all that I've tried:
1. Changed router from B&G&N to G only.
2. Changed each of the router's security settings (unprotected, WPA, WEP).
3. Changed the router's channel from 11 to others.
4. Changed the iPad from DHCP to static IP.
5. Sat right next to the router.
6. Changed the brightness to the maximum.
7. Checked the router and all other devices for a possible IP address conflict.
8. Had the iPad switched at the Genius Bar for another device.
9. Reset the iPad networking using the iPad.
10. Reset the iPad to factory defaults using the iPad.
11. Reset the iPad to factory defaults using iTunes.
12. Tried to wake the iPad up using only the top button instead of the Home button.
13. Changed the proxy from NONE to AUTO.
14. Tried at two locations with two different brands of routers.
The only thing that gets it to talk on the wi-fi again is to turn it all the way off and back on. Once it goes into some kind of standby mode, it will not come back. The Genius Bar couldn't tell me anything I haven't tried. So please tell me what else I can do.

Possible fix for unable to eject ipod, files are in use by another program

If you get the above message and are using itunes 7, this may be a possible fix. Open itunes and connect your ipod. When you get the main screen, uncheck the box "open itunes when this ipod is connected" and then click apply in the lower right of the screen. After your ipod has finished updating (top of itunes says update complete) you must eject the ipod using the safely remove hardware from your tray in the taskbar. Unplug you ipod, close itunes. Now, open itunes and connect your ipod. After it updates, you should safely remove the ipod. Good luck.
pc Windows XP Pro

Easy way. Reset the iPod, then disconnect when you see the Apple logo.
Another way. Hold ctr-alt-del to bring up the Windows Task Manager. Go to the Processes tab and look for iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe. Select them and hit the End Process button. Close the Windows Task Manager Window and try ejecting the iPod via the safely remove hardware method.
  If you are still having problems you can try one more thing. Right click on the My Computer icon and select Manage from the list of actions. Go to the Services and Applications item and from there the services item. Double click on the services item to bring up the list of services currently installed on your computer. Look for the iPod Service and double click on it. From the new window select Stop. Now try again to eject using the safely remove hardware option.
  If all else fails shut down the computer and disconnect the iPod.

Possible fix if your iPhone 3G isn't being recognised by iTunes!

Hi all,
I was having this problem, my iPhone was being recognised by Windows XP as a camera but would not show up in the left hand column in iTunes. After going through all the tutorials, checking services and drivers, I decided to *turn WiFi off* and try again. Bingo. It sync'd first time and I have tested this method and it works everytime. Seems being connected to a wireless home network interferes with iTunes or something like that.
Give it a try and let me know how you all go!

You're in luck because i just ran into this issue and fixed it.
For some silly reason your apple iphone device driver gets moved under device manager and itunes can't see your phone as a result.
To fix the issue:
on your keyboard: windows key + pause/break key. Then select Device Manager on the left of the window.
If you expand Universal Serial Bus controllers you will likely not see "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" listed.
You'll have to do some poking around, because it will be under one of the other headers... found mine under "Portable Devices", but yours could literally be under any of them.
Once you find "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver", right-click and select uninstall. Follow prompts to uninstall.
Then right-click "Universal Serial Bus controllers" and select scan for hardware changes. Your PC will then install it to the proper location and iTunes will be able to see your iphone and sync.
Dunno why it does this, but it does.
Hope that helps,
Cheers!

Sync SHARED Outlook calendar with iPhone (possible fix!)

Hey all,
My business uses a shared calendar in Microsoft Outlook 2007. Our personal calendars sync fine. However, the shared calendar does not appear in iTunes.
POSSIBLE FIX: If you create a local copy of the shared calendar by clicking and dragging from Public Folders to Calendar in Outlook, it will appear in iTunes and will sync.
QUESTION: How do I automate this process, so that a local copy is created whenever the shared calendar is updated?

1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care.

Should apple have an upgrade tool that checks the computer for issues and fixes them prior to installing ML

I had a nightmare upgrade to Mountain Lion after downloading it from the APP Store I went to install and it got to the hard drive and it was greyed out and said it could not install on the startup drive I tried all the solution mentioned already, checking the disk the permissions, time machineetc and then started removing third party apps/software and it still wouldn't install in the end I saved everything I could to disk that I required and erased the disk, re-installed snow leopard and then re-downloaded Mountain Lion and then it installed perfectly and is running fine. I wish to ask if Apple can't make the upgrade process less stressful with some kind of tool that checks for issues prior to upgrading to ML and fixes or advices of any issues. Microsoft have had these kind of tools so surely Apple can do something similar that can advice of incompatibilty issues and fixes so that us MAC users aren't left scratching our heads trying to work out what is wrong, it's poor support when you can't help users get the software you make and sell onto our hardware Apple.

You should let Apple know of your concerns at:
