Nokia N91 - 02 Network, a replacement and more thi...
Had my Nokia N91 for 20 days now
overall im very impressed
music quality is Amazing
but it keeps freezing, and is very very slow..
and i have to keep rebooting it!
also, when you program the shortcut keys to do different things, they sometimes work and sometimes dont!
O2 Network are sending me a brand new one tomorrow morning...
hopefully it will be better, and maybe, just maybe, may come with the latest firmware..
if it doesnt, and comes with the **bleep**py 1.00 version, i am then going to drive from Oxford to Northampton to have the Firmware updated to Version 1.10
i phoned them today and they said they would do it within 1 hour.. excellent!
doesn anyone else know if this phone comes in a different colour? or do 02 just give out ones that are plain silver?
anyone else having these issues?
why cant Nokia sort out all these problems, BEFORE releasing it on the General Public!
Hi
Try resetting factory settings *#7370#, passcode 12345. It will set it back to what you get out of the box however it will erase your DRM activation keys for Live8! etc so back them up first by backing up the phone memory (not HDDD but phone ROM) in PC suite
This gets rid of the slow SMS issue (for a while at least)

Iphone getting hot got replacement and this one is doing the same thing
After having it since November 2011 my iphone 3GS started getting hot to the touch last week and would not come on in any way. I went in and it was under warranty so they gave me a replacement and now this one is doing the same thing. UGH! Why?
Yahoo services have been having problems today, so I don't doubt that mail is one of them. They are having trouble updating the Weather app as well.
What is wrong with your voicemail. Remember that voicemail is a carrier function. The only thing Apple has to do with it is how it is retrieved. Can you describe your problem a little more clearly than "totally screwed up"? -

So my head's swimming with "I dunno's" and I've been perusing probably all the wrong threads trying not to sound like a noob and find the literature that will finally lead me to a solution. This is my first rodeo so make no assumptions about my experience (maybe).
Short Version
I can't login network users. I get an error "You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time. Logging in using >console tells me this No home directory: <path to home directory> i.e. /Network/Servers/department.domain.com/Department/Accounts/bbunny
If anyone can point me where to read, I will do so.
Perhaps a longer discussion on how to verify that the proper permissions exist on the share/home directory in question and what those would be.
More detail...
I want to setup a Mac Mini server to have network login accounts stored on the 2nd data volume in a directory we shall call Accounts*. Here all the "network users/logins" have their home directories, so that when they login at the workstation the idea is the workstation will sync their account and allow them to login, if the server is not available, the hope is I can configure it to allow them to login if they've logged in before and the files will sync when they are able. That being the ideal, I get the impression that for best practices, Apple is discouraging the use of mobile accounts that use Home Sync perhaps because it's reliability has been iffy, please advise. A windows user might think of this as "roaming profiles" but, if I understand it, its a little more than that.
Note, I do not want to login to the server and actively work on that network share, I want the account to be local and sync'd as needed. But I want the user to be able to sit at any of the 6 other workstations and see the same documents, emails etc. Obviously if the server is down, it won't be possible to authenticate, but I think it should have cached credentials that should allow the user to login if the server is down and still go about their work.
This is the small picture...there is a larger picture that involves, parallel virtual machines of Windows Server 2008 R2 on server and and Windows 7 on the client, ical, ichat and perhaps wiki's.
I apologize for the roughness of this question, in the interest of brevity, I have plenty of problems that led me here that I can expound upon if asked.
Also a silly question someone might know the answer too, Why does the login payload settings that I have pushed to a workstation device, sometimes vanish inconsistently upon logout?Ok, Some Good news and clearer understanding to disseminate in this post I hope it helps
"the Universe" so I am posting it here in my "ever-the-noob" blog on apple forums.
Problem
What do you do when you get an error when logging into a mobile account setup?
One symptom would be the error message below...
"You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time.
Logging in using >console You get the message…
"No home directory: <path to home directory>"
or
"You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time.
Logging in using >console tells me this No home directory: <path to home directory>
Solution
Do the check list…
Short Version
Sever Admin.app > Access (Key Component)
Check Permissions on directories for your file shares.
(The reason stuff doesn't work especially when you're rebuilding/recovering a server)
File sharing setup (Turned ON, Home sharing Enabled)
Directory Utility > Directory Editor or dscl
( Do not underestimate the importance of this part!!!!
Use white-gloves when you're handling it though!!! )
Workgroup Manager
(You're poopy "main" interface that really is a "window", not a "door", but maybe Apple likes to do things "Dukes of Hazard" style?)
Long Version
Check Sever Admin.app > Access
Make sure that your user has the "Proper" access. For me I created a test user from Server.app and saw what access he had as a way to "check myself for a properly created users" and because I think one is kind of on his/her own using WGM and duplicated the same access. (I was a little neater, though and did it with a group, not individual users, that would have been a mess!)
Server Admin.app > Access
Click the "+" sign, sort by UID and Add the imported users to the following Services…
( You can use a group, but understand when Server.app creates users they get added
individually to each of these groups. )
Address Book
AFP
iCal
iChat
Mail
Profile Manager
SMB
VPN
Check Permissions on directories for your file shares.
(That's an understatement) I could go in depth about all the crap I had to read about, I still
know I am missing a chunk of tech brain when it comes to the particulars. Basically, I boil
it down to this…
Permissions require thinking about things first with regards to POSIX permissions... good
ole ls, chmod, chgrp, chown to the rescue with ugo permissions or the old 755, 600 etc
stuff.
Apple's file-sharing access uses this as a starting point to see what the user is allowed to
access.
I also needed to use chflags once to unhide a file that I mucked around with using xattr.
I still haven't figured out why folders can lose their triangles, but I didn't find out if you cp or
move them from terminal, the triangles come back in the moved or copied directory. For a
minute I thought it was because cp alone doesn't preserve flag attributes, but mv actually
works by doing a cp that preserves the flags, unless it's a bug. I dunno.
This helped me get my file visible again...
chflags hidden path_to_file
chflags nohidden path_to_file
Read up on those manuals, if you're not a terminal type go to apples website
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/
or download...
http://www.bruji.com/bwana/ I thought that was cool.
or if you prefer to read the manual in pdf try…
man -t sharing | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/Sharing\ Manual.pdf
man -t chown | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHOWN\ Manual.pdf
man -t chmod | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHMOD\ Manual.pdf
man -t chgrp | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHGRP\ Manual.pdf
My basic guideline was avoid using ACLs if at all possible, if you try to use them, things
can get crazy complicated, take notes and plan, baby. If you read above, opening up
permissions wide is wrong though. You would restrict permissions tightly to begin with and
then place ACE (Access Control Entries) to specifically target the rights you want to enable.
Here's one that's obviously a novice attempt to do this, but since the novice is the only one
speaking…. here it is, Universe… >:P
sudo chmod -R +ai "admin allow read,write,delete,file_inherit,directory_inherit,search,list" Department/
That allowed my admin to do all the things a normal user could do so far… It fixed things for
my admin, which made me happy. I really hate having to authenticate or sudo just to see
the contents of a nested directory. I could explain it, and even give a few notes on why its
probably overkill, but I will attempt to look less stupid till "poked".
There's another command line utility I STILL haven't read, which may bear mentioning
because…well I haven't read it. umask (see wikipedia or unix.com)…I worked past my
problems without going into it so far, but obviously it's there, and it serves a purpose.
I also found this article helpful…and educational. :O
http://www.bresink.de/osx/300321023/Docs-en/pgs/ACL.html
( Its enlightening to hear the air whistling between a developer/coder's ears, still it's
apparent he has a clear idea what's going on.
Ever wonder why when you use get info to check or assign permissions it kind of
flakes out and doesn't take? Read this article! )
Second, if you can't obtain the "specific" permissions you need with POSIX, chmod also
can set the 2nd category of permissions, which windows users may be familiar with
Access Control Lists (ACLs) and here you get some really fine granularity...messy stuff.
All in all, if I felt I could guide you through these murky waters, I would, but I think I'll let
the professionals weigh in on that one and cut my wall-of-text to ribbons.
To heuristically check I would connect from a client as one or two of my users and see what
folders I could mount as a share, armored with an understanding of what ls -le@O * showed
me in Terminal.
3.) File sharing setup (Turned ON, Home sharing Enabled)
Here is an example of using command line sharing utility where each share is properly
labeled (that took a bit for me to figure out) still this share only enables the AFP share as
you can see from my flags.
sudo sharing -a /Volumes/Hard\ Drive/Department/Database -A Database-afp -F Database-ftp -S Database-smb -n Database -s 100 -g 000 -i 10
Then you do a sudo sharing -l and get back what you just did…
List of Share Points
name: Database
path: /Volumes/Hard Drive/Department/Database
afp: {
name: Database-afp
shared: 1
guest access: 0
inherit perms: 1
ftp: {
name: Database-ftp
shared: 0
guest access: 0
smb: {
name: Database-smb
shared: 0
guest access: 0
If you mess up the sharing command, you may not be paying attention (I wasn't) but there
are a lot of defaults that Apple will just assume you meant to do anyway and it won't read
any of your flags, you have to get it right or the flags will be defaulted.
( Basically I could tell I was bombing it for one, I explicitly only wanted afp working, but
the default was afp and smb. So each time I ran sudo sharing -l after I shot my sharing
command…back would come smb shared: 1 and I knew that wasn't right. Also my
custom names were defaulting to the name of the directory not the name I had
specified. )
I like to know what protocol my share is over so when it doesn't work, I know which protocol's
are connecting. It's not full-proof, but it's a bookmark. I wish the network browser would
identify the protocol that its available listed shares are using, because small visual queues
like that help when you're trying to see what works. Maybe that's something I should
investigate via the command line?
As a note about reading forums, I discovered using command line that "\" is kind of like a
way of going to next line neatly with long commands…."\ " is a way to insert a space. As you
can see above where I have a volume with a space in it.
Removing shares was a little trickier though, sharing -r Share\ With-space didn't work….I
had to enclose it in quotes and do "Share With-space" instead. So nooby beware!
( *nix users are now rolling their eyes at this tip. )
I wasn't sure how you enabled a share for home directories from the command line, maybe its
in the manual, but I was up to my eyeballs in manuals already so I haven't gone back to
revisit this question since my work around was to go to Server.app and verify that what I set
up in the sharing in terminal was being reflected in the gui…sort of my own MVC
(model-view-controller) check.
4.) Directory Utility > Directory Editor or dscl
Make sure what you see in WGM and Server.app are reflected here….to that question let's
take a journey where I did some exploring about that.
Ever really wonder "WHY CAN"T I REMOVE AN OLD HOME DIRECTORY SHARE?!!!"
Ah, then you will - LOVE - this tip…
( Provided my testing or yours, later, doesn't prove that in my ignorance I've broken
Open Directory. Remember, WHITEGLOVES!!!! but here we get a little dirty. I think of
OD as Apple's Registry, but that's not what it is at all. However, you as the user do have
to "****" around in it from time to time. )
I scoured the forums and everyone was saying things like "You have to change your server
role" etc. which seemed a little bit dumb to me (dumb because you're pushing views around
not "controlling"), and well, yea, that share that I couldn't modify or delete was REALLY
bugging me.
Now hmm… Before you do ANYTHING, how do you try to not hurt yourself…in Windows you
can make a Registry Backup….(yea bad analogy) In Server Admin.app you can go to your Open
Directory Service > Archive and Choose a place to Archive your information. (Figure this out by
yourself, this is getting long…sheesh! It's easy. Restoring is just as easy and painless.)
Before we can remove the entry we "SEE" in WGM we should make sure no
one has it selected so as not to "corrupt" the OD db, so in WGM first before going to Directory
Utility set the Home directory to "None". (We need to remember to set this to a correct share
later….Mental Note!!!)
Now Open Directory Utility
Method 1
System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options
Click the Lock to make changes…
Authenticate -> click "OK" (do I REALLY have to step-by-step this?)
Network Account Sever: • Local Server - click "Edit" button here.
Open Directory Utility > Directory Editor
( Wow, did Apple hire someone from Microsoft? You'ld think with all their research in to
Human Interface Design that's WAY too many clicks to get to something you need. )
or
Method 2 (It's good to know about this directory, neat-o speed-o app's hidden here.)
Use "Go to Folder" Under Finder > Go > Go to Folder...
⇧⌘G /System/Library/CoreServices/
Click "OK"
and Double click Directory Utility.app
or
Method 3
Terminal
open /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory\ Utility.app/
Now From the Directory Editor Pane you will see a Pop-up menu Labeled "Viewing"
You should glance through this and get to know it. You should use it to see what
information is really being stored about your Users, Groups, Mounts…
We are interested in Mounts, which is where we want to go…and there is the pesky
mount that you will see reflected in WGM.
Authenticate, and delete the bugger.
Quit WGM and restart it. Voila, bad share is GONE!!!!!
a.) First select all my users
b.) Then I clicked on the "+" and added the correct share
( Remember, I only showed you the first one we created, this is another and
for THIS one you HAVE to go into Server.app and verify that it is set to be
available for Home Directories in this case for AFP. )
For the home directory entry you do this...
afp://computer.domain.com/Accounts-afp
%short_name%
/Network/Servers/computer.domain.com/Volumes/Hard\ Drive/Department/Accounts/%short_name%
%short_name% is a wild card for the short name there are other wild cards check out Apple's
Documentation on them. I lost the link sorry \<shrug\>
Interesting dscl commands…(check it out in command line form and compare side by side with
what you see in the GUI Directory Utility)
dscl . list /users
dscl . list /groups
If you want to output information about each user, though, use readall:
dscl . readall /users
dscl . readall /groups
And if you need to programatically parse said information, use -plist to make your life easier:
dscl -plist . readall /users
dscl -plist . readall /groups
This made a little more direct sense to me, language wise…but fyi "." is kind of a wild card I think so the first
commands I think look in ALL directories local, Search, LDAP whatever you have. The command here
corresponds to the Entry from the Pop-up menu "…in node > Blah…" see GUI of Directory Utility to confirm.
dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /Users
dscl /Local/Default -list /Users
5.) Workgroup Manager
Remember this is a utility that is not long for this world. Apple's Mountain Lion is rumored to fully
replace it, why? Yea, Apple's making a go at MDM (Mobile Device Management) and somehow
desktop computers are being pulled/dragged along for the ride. I have plenty of issues with
Profile Manager, but I'll likely revisit it in a couple of months and see where we stand.
Anyway, treat this baby like the bottom rung, because, well it is built like you start your
foundation here, but it's just a viewer with controlling "tweaks". Use the other areas to get a solid
grasp of what is actually going on. Server.app is where you should create accounts you can
feel are safe. When you create accounts in WGM, you are responsible for making sure they
have the appropriate EVERYTHING.
This list is by no means complete, but these are the areas this noob is or was prepared to talk about.
Good night for now. Enjoy climbing my wall of text, and yea sorry about that. :O Run for you lives!!!!

i will be changing phone by Wednesday this week, from N90 to N91.
any N91 users who can share their experiences with iSync 2.2?
N90 is Symbian OS v8.1a (Symbian60 2nd Edition)
N91 is Symbian OS v9.1 (Symbian60 3rd Edition)
So modifying again the metaclasses.plist will not work since iSync 2.2 uses "family.com.nokia.serie60v2.3'
I will also post if it works with or without modifying the .plist once i got my N91.Update 2:
CONTACTS:
As for the contacts, here's what i did:
- Created a "Contacts' folder inside the "Others' folder of the Nokia
Hard Drive;
- Open "Address Book' (Mac) and one by one drag and drop each
contact(s) to the created 'Contacts' folder.
- After transferring all contacts, open Nokia N91 Contacts, Options,
scroll to Copy, select 'From hard drive" and everything will be copied
to Nokia's Contacts.
**Finder will experience "Application not responding" at times.. Just wait for about 5mins or more and will go back to normal.
**Never disconnect N91.
The only thing i've noticed here is that the Mobile number is changed to as "Telephone' you can manually edit it..
Easy but tidious way:
Input contact individually in N91 and after go to Contacts, Options, Mark All, Option, Copy to hard drive, Choose "Yes' to "remove exixting contacts from hard drive' so there will be no duplicates. So next time you format the phone you can easily copy your contacts.
Peter.. whats your firmware version?
Please post any tips/comments/complaints here. Lets just wait for Apple to update iSync to work with the new NSeries.. -
THE SHORTER STORY
My goal is to successfully use my existing Time Capsule (TC) with a new and more powerful wireless router. I need a new and more powerful wireless router in order to reach a distant Denon a/v receiver that is physically located in a master bedroom some 50 feet away from my modem. I need to provide this Denon a/v receiver with an Internet connection so that it can obtain its firmware updates and I need to connect this Denon a/v receiver to my network in order to use its AirPlay feature. I believe l still need the TC's Network Attached Storage (NAS) features because I am not sure if the new wireless router will provide me with the NAS like features / capabilities I need to share files between my two Apple laptops with OS X 10.8.2. And I know that I absolutely need my TC's seamless integration with Apple's Time Machine (TM) application in order to continue to make effortless backups of my two Apple laptops. To my knowledge nothing works with TM like Apple's TC. I also need the hard disk storage space built into the TC.
I cannot use a long wired Ethernet cable connection in this apartment and I cannot use power-line adapters. I have read that wireless range extenders and repeaters are difficult to successfully set-up and that they will reduce data speeds, especially so when incorrectly set-up. I cannot relocate my modem and/or primary base station wireless router.
In short, I want to use my TC with my new and more powerful wireless router. I need to stop using the TC to connect to the modem. However, I still need the TC for seamless TM backups. I also need to use the TC's built in hard drive for storage. And I may still need the TC's NAS capabilities to share files wirelessly between laptops because I am assuming the new wireless router will not provide NAS capabilities for OS X 10.8.2 (products like this/non-Apple products rarely seem to work with OS X 10.8.2/Macs to provide NAS features and capabilities). Finally, I want to continue to use my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also want to continue to use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Can someone please advise on how to set-up my new Asus wireless router with my existing TC in such a way to accomplish all of this?
What is the best configuration or set-up to accomplish my above goals?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!!!
THE FULL STORY
I live in an apartment building where my existing Time Capsule (TC) is located in my living room and serves many purposes. Specially, my TC is at least all of the following:
(1) Wi-Fi router connected to Comcast Internet service via Motorola SB6121 cable modem - currently the TC is the Wi-Fi base station that connects to the modem and has the gateway address to the Internet. The TC now provides the DHCP service for the Wi-Fi network.
(2) Wireless router providing Internet and Wi-Fi network access to several Wi-Fi clients - two Apple laptop computers, an iPod touch, an iPad and an iPhone all connect wirelessly to the Internet via the TC.
(3) Wired Ethernet router providing Internet and Wi-Fi network access to three different devices - a Panasonic TV, LG Blu-Ray player and an Apple TV each use one of the three LAN ports on the back of the TC to gain access to the Internet.
(4) Primary base station in my attempt to extend my wireless network to a distant (located far away) Denon a/v receiver requiring a wired Ethernet connection - In addition to the TC, which is my primary base station, I am also using a second extended Wi-Fi base station (a Netgear branded product) to wirelessly extend my WiFi network to a Denon receiver located in the master bedroom and requiring a wired Ethernet connection. I cannot use a wired Ethernet connection to continuously travel from the living room to the master bedroom. The distance is too great as I cannot effectively hide the Ethernet cable in this apartment.
(5) Time Machine (TM) backup facilitator - I use my TC to wirelessly back-up two Apple laptops using Apple's Time Machine (TM) application. However, I ran out of storage space on my TC and therefore added external storage to it. Specifically, I added an external hard drive to my TC via the USB port on the back of the TC. I now use this added external hard drive connected to the TC via USB as the destination storage drive for my TM back-ups. I have partitioned the added external hard drive, and each of the several partitions all have enough storage space (e.g., each of the two partitions used by TM are sized at three times the hard drive space of each laptop, etc.). Everything works flawlessly.
(6) Network Attached Storage (NAS) - In addition to using the TC's Network Attached Storage (NAS) capabilities to wirelessly back-up two Apple laptops via TM, I also store other additional files on both (A) the hard drive built into the TC and (B) the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB (there are additional separate partitions on this drive for these other additional and non-TM backup files).
I use the TC's NAS feature with my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Again, everything works wirelessly and flawlessly. (Note: the Apple TV is connected to the network via Ethernet and a LAN port on the back of the TC).
The issue I am having is when I try to listen to music via Apple's AirPlay in the master bedroom. This master bedroom is located at a distance of two rooms away from the TC's current location in the living room, which is a distance of about 50 feet. This apartment has a long rectangular floor plan where each room is connected to the next in a straight line. In order to use AirPlay in the master bedroom I am using a second extended Wi-Fi base station (a Netgear branded product) to wirelessly extend my WiFi network to a Denon receiver located in the master bedroom and requiring a wired Ethernet connection. This additional base station connects wirelessly to the WiFi network provided by my TC and then gives my Denon receiver the wired Ethernet connection it needs to use AirPlay. I have tried moving my iTunes music directly onto my laptop's hard drive, and then I used AirPlay on this same laptop to connect to the Denon receiver. I always get a successful connection and the song plays, but the problem is that the connection inevitably drops.
I live in an apartment building and all of the many wireless routers in this building create a great deal of WiFi interference on both the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands. I have tried connecting the Netgear product to each the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, but neither band can successfully maintain a wireless connection between the TC and the Netgear product. I also attempted to maintain a wireless connection to an iPod touch using the 2.4 GHz band and AirPlay on this iPod touch to play music on the Denon receiver. Again, I was able to establish a connection and successfully play music, but after a few minutes the connection dropped and the music stopped playing. I therefore have concluded that I have a poor wireless connection in the master bedroom. I can establish a connection, but it is intermittent with frequent drops. I have verified this with both laptops by working in the master bedroom for an entire day on both laptops. The Internet connection in this master bedroom proved to drop out frequently - about once an hour with the laptops. The wireless connection and the frequency of its dropout are far worse with the iPod touch and an iPhone.
I cannot relocate the TC. Also, this is an apartment and I therefore cannot extend the range of my network with Ethernet cable (I cannot drill through walls/ceilings, etc.). It is an old building with antiquated wiring and power-line adapters are not likely to function properly, nor can I spare the direct power outlet required with a power-line adapter. I simply need every outlet I can get and cannot afford to block any direct outlet.
My solution is to use a more powerful wireless router. I found the ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router which will likely provide a better connection to my wireless Internet in the master bedroom than the TC. The 802.11ac band of this Asus wireless router is totally useless to me, but based on what I have read I believe this router will provide a stronger connection at greater distances then my TC. And I will be ready for 802.11ac when it becomes more widely available.
However, I still need to maintain the TC's ability to work seamlessly with TM to backup my two laptops. Also, I doubt the new Asus router will provide OS X 10.8.2 with NAS like features and capabilities. Therefore, I still would like to use the TC's NAS capabilities to share files on my network wirelessly assuming the Asus wireless router fails to provide this feature. I need a new and more powerful wireless router, but I need to maintain the TC's NAS features and seamless integration with TM. Finally, I want to continue to use my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also want to continue to use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Can someone advise on how to set-up my existing TC with this new Asus wireless router in such a way to accomplish all of this?

In regards to a Plan B, I hear ya brother. I am already on what feels like Plan Z. Getting WiFi to a far off room in an apartment building crowded with WiFi routers is a major pain.
I am basing my thoughts on the potential of a new and more powerful router reaching the far off master bedroom based on positive reviews on cnet.com, pcmag.com and pcworld.com. All 3 of these web sites have reviewed the Asus RT-AC66U 802.11AC wireless router as well as its virtual twin cousin 802.11n router. What impressed me is that all 3 sites rated this router #1 overall in terms of both range and speed (in both the 802.11n and 802.11AC flavors). They tested the router in real world scenarios where the router needed to compete with a lot of other wireless routers. One of the sites even buried this Asus router in a media room with thick walls and inside a media cabinet. This Asus router should be able to serve my 2.4 GHz band wireless clients (iPod Touch and iPhone 4) with a 2.4GHz Wireless-N band offering some 50 feet of dependable range and a 60 Mbps throughput at that range. I am hoping that works, but it's borderline for my master bedroom. My 5 GHz wireless clients (laptops) will enjoy a 5GHz Wireless-N band offering 150 feet of range and a 200 Mbps throughput at that range. I have no idea what most of that stuff means, but I did also read that Asus could reach 300 feet and I got really excited. My mileage may vary of course and I'm sure I'm making some mistakes in my interpretation of their data. However, my Winter 2009 Time Capsule was rated by cnet.com to deliver real world performance of less than that, and 802.11AC may or may not be useful to me someday. But when this Asus arrives and provides anything other than an excellent and consistent wireless signal without drops in the master bedroom it's going right back!
Your solution sounds great, but I have some questions. I'm using OS X 10.8.2 and Airport Utility (version 6.1 610.31) and on its third tab labeled "Wireless" the top option enables you to set "Network Mode" to either:
Create a wireless network
Extend a wireless network
Off
Given your advice to "Turn off the wireless on the TC," should I set Network Mode to Off? Sorry, I'm clueless in regards to how to turn off the wireless on the TC any other way. Can you provide specific steps on how to turn off the wireless on the TC? If what I wrote is correct then what should the rest of this Wireless tab look like, or perhaps it is irrelevant when wireless is off?
Next, what do you mean by "Configure the TC in Bridge Mode?" Under Airports Utility's fourth tab labeled "Network" the top option "Router Mode" allows for either:
DHCP and Nat
DHCP Only
Off (Bridge Mode)
Is your advice to Configure the TC in Bridge Mode as simple as setting Router Mode to Off (Bridge Mode)? If yes, then what should the rest of this "Network" tab look like? Anything else involved in configuring the TC in Bridge Mode or is it really as simple as setting the Router Mode to "Off (Bridge Mode)"?
How about the other tabs in Airport Utility, can they all stay as is assuming I use the same network name and password for the new Asus wireless router? Or do I need to make any other changes to the TC via Airport Utility?
Finally, in regards to your Plan B suggestion. I agree. But do you have a Plan B for me? I would greatly appreciate any alternative you could provide. Specifically, if you needed a TC's Internet connection to reach a far off corner of your home how would you do it? In the master bedroom I need both a wired Ethernet connection for the Denon a/v receiver and wireless Internet connection for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Power-Line Adapters - High Cost, Blocks at Least One Wall Outlet and Does Not Solve the Wireless Need
I actually like exactly one power-line adapter, which is the D-Link DHP-540 PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch. This D-Link power-line adapter plugs into your wall outlet with a normal sized plug (regular standard power cord much like any other electronic device) instead of all of the other recommended power-line adapters that not only use at least one wall outlet but also often block the second outlet. You cannot use a power strip with a power-line adapter which is very impractical for me. And everything about my home is strange and upside down. The wiring here is a disaster and I don't have faith in its ability to carry Internet access from the living room to the master bedroom. And this D-Link power-line adapter costs $90 each and I need at least two to make the connection to the Denon A/V receiver. So, $180 on this solution and I still don't have a dependable drop free wireless connection in the master bedroom. The Denon might get its Ethernet Internet connection from the power-line adapter, but if I want to use an iPhone 4 or iPod Touch to stream AirPlay music to the Denon wirelessly (Pandora/iTunes, etc.) from the master bedroom the wireless connection will not be stable in there and I've already spent $190 on just the two power-line adapters needed.
Extenders / Repeaters / Wirelessly Extending the Wireless Network
I have also read great things about the Amped Wireless High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Dual Band Range Extender (Repeater) SR20000G and the My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender. The former is very powerful and the latter is easier to install. Both cost about $150 ish so similar to a new Asus router. However, everything I read about Range Extenders points to them not being very effective for a far off corner of your house wherein it's apparently hard to place the range extender in the sweet spot where it both gets a strong enough signal to actually effectively extend the wireless signal and otherwise does not reduce network throughput speeds to unacceptable speeds.
Creating a Roaming Network By Hard Wiring with Ethernet Cable - Wife Would Say, "**** No!"
Even Apple seems to warn against wirelessly extending your network (see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145#) and otherwise strongly recommends a roaming network where Ethernet cable is used to connect two wireless base stations. However, I am in an apartment where stringing together two wireless base stations with Ethernet cable would have an extremely low wife acceptance factor (WAF). I cannot (both contractually and from a skill prospective) hide Ethernet wire in the walls or ceiling. And having visible Ethernet cable running from room-to-room would be unacceptable, especially to the wife.
So what is left? Do you have a Plan B for me? Thanks in advance for your help! -
in system settings 15 item are not accessible, get the message: cannot open it, is not possible on intel based MAC. Items like security, iCloud user and groups network and more.
Genius bar told me to erase the harddisk and install OSX Maverick again. This has not changed the problems with the system settingsYou need to Repartition the drive as One partition which will erase all data from it and then reinstall OS X. then with the initial setup system you chose the language on the first screen that comes up. That sets the language for the whole system.
There is no other way of completely removing certain information created by a previous owner. this hold strue whether you are selling or give a Mac to someone.
To do the repartitioning you need to use the Online Internet Recovery system, if the Mac came with Lion 10.7 or above, or from the original system reinstall discs that came with it when it was new. -

Nokia 5800 network going on and off
My 5800 XM has a peculiar issue. At times, the network comes on and after some time it goes off. When I do a manual search, no network shows up I have tried soft reset, hard reset, reinstalling firmware multiple times (51.006) Will this be a hardware issue ? As of now, my phone doesn't have any applications installed.
try anther SIM card on this phone. if not solved you've done all you can do. so take it to Nokia care center.
Glad to help -
I received a used iphone in a replacement and I was told it was brand new, Now more issues.
So I bought a iPhone 5s back in October 2013, I had to have it replaced back in June 2014, here it is less then a year with the replacement and I had been having trouble with it ever since receiving it, it would work perfect for them. The issue I had was the digitizer would stop functioning in the upper left corner, and about a week ago the finger print stopped functioning. brought it to apple and they would not honor an arrangement they had made with me to exchange if it still had trouble after resetting to defaults because it had been 4 months, stupid but understandable. They quoted me $269 for a replacement.
So today I decided to pop the screen off and take a look, first off I did not realize I broke the latches at the top holding the screen down, so I ripped every display cable. But once I opened it I saw there was the metal clasp holding the fingerprint cable down, but there is a huge gap between the cable and the clasp, so it does not stay plugged in. But the biggest thing I saw was the remains of a void sticker inside there (picture attached). When I got it replaced, I asked if the phone was a refurbished replacement and he said no, it was a brand new phone, it is was new there would not be stickers removed inside there.
I know I probably screwed up ripping the cables, but do I have any case here? I know that the paper work says refurbished products may be used, but I was told they were not and since they were, they were not even refurbished properly. Any input would be appreciated.rustykerr123 wrote:

Actually, you no longer have any case whatsoever. You've opened up the device. That voids all support for that device from Apple.
And I really, really hate to tell you this, but that sticker you're seeing? That doesn't mean it's a used device.
And a verbal statement is really irrelevant anyways. Unless you have documentation that says it was a brand new device, then it's not.
The long and the short of it is this; if you had not tampered with the device and opened it (even if you hadn't damaged the cables, opening it up voids ALL SUPPORT), then you might have a case. But now (especially that you've posted a picture of the opened device; no way to try to deny that now), you no longer have the $269 option. Now you'll have to pay full retail price. Or seek third-party support like Chris said.
Best of luck. -
My screen was replaced and I can't see my photos and videos any more
I had my screen replaced and I can't see any of my photos or videos that were on my iPhone I used some trial software and found the photos but I don't want to have to pay to retrieve them is there other way ? Please help oh and there not backed up I wasn't expecting to have screen just crash like that . Thanks
It sounds like maybe you've unintentionally activated the Zoom feature.
Try going to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing, and make sure that Zoom is turned off.
Does that help? -
A Nokia N95 owner who just bought a Nokia N91 aswe...
Hi guys
popped out last night and met a guy off of Ebay, he had a brand new unused Nokia N91 with Version 2 Firmware, he got it as a replacement handset from his 02 insurance and then 2 weeks later he got a Nokia N95
i gave him £110 for it and im pleased with it, stll had the label on the screen! Result!!
i couldnt stand the lack of volume and audio quality while playing MP3`s on my N95, i wll still use my N95 as my main phone but have put a pay as you go simcard in the N91 and will use as a spare mobile whenever i go on a long trip
why is the N91 just so much better at playing MP3`s?
its louder, better sound quality etc
i feel like i been duped getting the N95 when it should have been as good for playing Music
so far the N91 hasnt crashed or rebooted or any of the problems that i had with my previous ones that i sent back with HD problems
anyone else done the same as me?
WAYNE HARRIS
wayneharris.co.ukN91 is better in the audio department.
N91 has higher output power
N91 has better frequency response (from very low frequencies to very high)
N91 has better SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio, also because it has more output power)
N91 has better THD (Total Harmonic Distortion)
N91 has better response at very low frequencies (10-80 Hz range) thus is much better at outputing bass (not through the internal speaker but through the 3.5 mm connector)
N91 has better playback time.
N91 comes with 4GB or 8GB.
I have played with both the N91 and the N95, don't get me wrong, the N95 is not bad, but the N91 is better (WRT audio).
Of course the technical differences in the end mean nothing and unless you really want the best sounding device, then N95 may be good enough for you.
The N91 is not fragile, but it doesn't 'like' some of the third party apps. and that's when you start having probs.
640K Should be enough for everybody

NOKIA N91 CARRY CASE POUCH CP-186 is it compatibl...
Hi can anybody let me know NOKIA N91 CARRY CASE POUCH CP-186 is compatible with N73 can i use this cover with n73
That will be a tough item to replace.
I would try calling in at a nokia care point, and asking them if it's on the parts list for the luna.
You will probably have more luck at an independent care point, not a chainstore (like carphone warehouse).

Nokia N91 crashes with SOFTAWARE UPDATER!!PLS HELP...
Hello,
I have this huge problem...I have a Nokia N91 ,for which I payed 500Euro and I just bought it for one week..I tried the The Nokia Software Updater and it all gone fine until the end ,when I got the message on the screen that the program lost the connection..and this is when the nightmare start...the phone crashed...now it only turning on and it staying on a white screen and it not doing nothing...not even turning OFF...I am very dissapointed about this,....I can`t belive that it is possible to releaase something that is ruining your phone...
Can anyone have a solution for this???The phone is brought from out my country and I can`t ship it to waranty!!!!Please help!!!!!
I just want my N91 back!!!Hi, reading from some other threads in this forum, could it be the update failed due to the phone not having enough charge?
Try plugging it into the mains for an hour or to. Then try the soft format suggested above.
completely remove all Nokia software from your PC, download and install the latest Nokia Updater, download and install the latest PC Suite for the N91. Now connect your Nokia to the PC via the USB cable, leaving it plugged into the mains.
If that doesn't work that I have no idea and an engineer may be the only solution. Your phone is under warranty, but bear in mind this may have been voided by your attempting to update at home. Also, for such an expensive phone, I'd only trust genuine Nokia service centres with it.
Hope this helps - may have an idea you've not tried yet.
