One hell of a problem !!!!!!!!!!

OK, so I just did the v4 upgrade using the software updater, all good. One problem, and its a doozy. I left my memory card in when I did the update (my brother did and it worked alright for him, although he later informed me he doesnt have much installed on there, whereas I do). Anyway, now every time I restart (or put the mem card back in), it says "Installing" for about 3 minutes while it tries to instll suff from the memory card. After that time it fails and says "Unable to install remaining applications, to install go to Application Manager".
Problem #1 - I got to App. Manager (which take AGES to load), and it lists a whole heap of jibberish programs (like 20003cfb.sis and the like) which say "Not installed". 20003cfb.sis is the first in the list, I cant delete it so I try to install it. It asks me if I want to Install KeypadLock? I say yes. Bang, File Corrupted! So I thought I would format the mem card from the phone.
Problem #2 - I copied everything on my card across to a folder on my PC with the intention of formatting the card. "Unable to format memory card, card in use by another application". (There is nothing running, I'm guessing the thing thats trying to install when I boot up is still running somewhere). So, I thought I would format on the PC using the card reader.
Problem #3 - It does weird stuff here, it tells me the card capacity is 3.83GB (its 2GB), I try to go ahead anyway. No can do. Write protected. **bleep**?
So I just manually delete everything using PC Suites File Manager. Its all gone now except a folder called "Data" (can't be deleted). Which has a sub folder called "NEF" in it, in there is a file called NEFConfig.xml and another folder called "Log". Thats it. Interestingly my Java progs are still showing up as installed in App manager (but they arent working). So I try to format again both ways.
Problem #4 - Still nothing, cant do it. How do I stop it trying to install these non-existant programs?!
Software updater never told me I ad to rmove my card which makes this all the more frustrating.
I think that cvers everything Ive tried to date. Ive been at it a while now, any ideas would be appreciated.

Its a bit of a pain but i would do a full factory reset of the phone.
It will delete everything on your cards but at least you will start from a claen system.
I don't think the backup tool is any good when you have upgraded so you will have to re-install everything from scratch. (at least syncronising contacts is easy!)
At the end of all this your phone should be stable.
to do a factory reset enter *#7370# into your phone.
It will ask for your lock code (default is 12345)
You could try manually putting things back together but the phone will probably object and you will end up doing this anyway!

  • I was just told ML could not be installed because apple HD is broken and could not be repaired. I never had any problem ever to suggest a broken HD, on my 2 yr. old mac pro. 10.6.8. Any one else having this problem? Will I get a refund,  if so how?

    I have a 2009 MAC PRO 10.6.8. Had never had any problems. Tried installing Mountain Lion today. Was told, " Mountain Lion could not be installed because Hard Disk is broken"!
    Is it because HD is broken or perhaps incompatible? Has any one else had this problem? I had no symptoms suggestive of a broken HD. Will I get reimbursed if ML could not be installed? If so what do I have to do?
    How can I verify the status of the HD, in absence of symptoms for my own information?

    The solution to your problem is rather simple
    1: Get a external hard drive and use Disk Utility to format it with a GUID partition map and OS X extended Journaled.
    2: Export your browser bookmarks and any other needed data to a file,. Copy your User data folders of Music, Pictures etc over to the external  drive via drag and drop copy methods, disconnect the drive.
    I don't advise using TimeMachine at this point since your boot drive is messed up, thus so will be your TM drive, just transfering the problem later on back to the new install. We are proceeding with a "Fresh install" method to eliminate as many issues as possible which a TM restore can return to a new OS X install.
    3: Next you will need to follow these instructions to zero erase (important) and install 10.6 fresh, use the same named account (different password ok)
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    4: Before you return files or install programs, Software Update fully and use the AppStore to install 10.8, this way it will be on a fresh 10.6 install, free of issues.
    5: Install any and all 10.8 compatible programs as much as possible before returning your User files, this is a performance measure.
    If you need too, use this site to find one's that are 10.8 compatible.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    6: Last install your user files from the external drive backup into their respective Music, Pictures, Movies etc., folders, into the same named accounts so you preserve your iTunes playlists. When you open those programs, they will update their respective support files automatically.

  • How do i get backed up purchases from an old iphone to a new one, but the only problem is an ipod is backed up into the new phone and i cant get my iphone data on to the new phone because its under i pod

    how do i get backed up purchases from an old iphone to a new one, but the only problem is an ipod is backed up into the new phone and i cant get my iphone data on to the new phone because its under i pod?

    Thanks very much!
    Although I had to add everything again to the playlist, at least I can just copy it over in future!

  • I changed my ipad in warranty: the new one has a big problem!!

    I sent my ipad in warranty two weeks ago because of a problem with Home button.
    The new one has a bigger problem: the battery has a duration of maybe 1 hour!! I mean: i charge it, then i unlock it in order to run Safari. When i start the app, the buttery goes from 100% to maybe 93%.
    Other example: this morning it had 13% of battery. Just unlocking it, and using it to read some mails, the buttery went after 10 minutes to 3%!!!!!! it is absolutely unacceptable!!
    I tried so to go to the website of Apple, to order another changing of the iPad, but finally it gave me the error: Sorry, but you can't do this transition at the moment. Try again later o use the assistance centre. This since two days ago. How to solve it?
    I even tried to call the assistance centre but it said that all operators were busy, so i had to call later. and i did: every time the same...

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon.  The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).
    An irony is that doing a test (per the above procedure) to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.

  • For some strange reason the songs in my library are multiplying. For example, I really only have 4,000 songs but every time I open itunes I have 6,8,10,000 songs! Any one else have this problem.  How do I stop that from happening?

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • I copied my PS CS5 Plug Ins folder into my CS6  one & it started having problems opening & errors...

    I copied my PS CS5 Plug Ins folder into my CS6  one & it started having problems opening & errors... would someone be able to tell me what the basic/original ones should be in PS CS^6 Plug In folder please?

    That would be any other plug-ins you've installed after Photoshop.  Out of the box that folder is completely empty with Photoshop CS6.
    To be completely accurate, what you did wrong was that you copied plug-ins that were supplied by Adobe with the earlier version of Photoshop.  Those plug-ins logically conflict with the current ones Adobe supplies with Photoshop, which are now provided in another place.
    They've changed the folder structure, so no longer are any plug-ins supplied by Adobe put in that folder.  Hopefully for a future version update you can copy those you have in Photoshop CS6 without getting yourself into the same trouble.

  • My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

    My brand new MacBook Pro retina display not charging the battery any more after 3 weeks...no green or red Led. Any one now about this problem? Thanks

    Either the power brick is damaged, or the charging circuit is on the blink, or both. Either way, a trip to the Apple Store or the Apple Authorized Service Provider is in order, as this ain't no bargain basement toy.
    In the meantime, can attempt an SMC Reset to see if it helps.

    I am having the same issue. I am updating to 6.1.3 to see if that helps. It is really annoying. It seems to vibrate as well as hiss on my ear piece speaker while on a call. I keep looking at the phone thinking maybe another call is coming in.

  • Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk. My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standar

    Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk.
    My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standard Definition, now it just defaults to Standard Definition.(I'm using Apple's DVD Player)
    Can I fix this problem?

    Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
    I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
    IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
    IOFireWireAVC.kext
    IOFireWireFamily.kext
    IOFireWireIP.kext
    IOFireWireSBP2.kext
    I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
    The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
    So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
    So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?
