Outlook Anywhere Issues and Questions

Exchange 2013 with 2 member DAG using round robin DNS. We seem to be having issues with exchange users on the local LAN. External users are working fine. We get:
I believe this is a autodiscover/CA error because external users are working fine. The active copy server has the following for outlook anywhere settings:
external users use hostname: oa.domain.tld
internal users use hostname: mail.domain.tld
Passive copy server has the following settings for outlook anywhere:
external users is blank
internal users has the server hostname.domain.tld
The settings on both the active and passive should be the same correct?
Now the CA; we have a godaddy cert and it is installed on the active server. However, on the passive server it is not installed. The godaddy cert should be installed on the passive copy server correct?
The cert needs to be installed on the CAS role servers.
I installed the godaddy cert and it does show in the certificates mmc. However, in ECP it still shows "pending request" and yes, I clicked on "complete" and completed the steps. Does it matter if the friendly name is exactly the same as
the friendly name on the active copy server? How about the outlook anywhere settings? Should they be the same as the active copy server?

Exchange 2013 2007 co-existence Outlook Anywhere issues

Sorted out all other issues (apart from a SSO issue- another thread) . Activesync, autodiscover etc all working- but Outlook Anywhere does not work for Exchange 2007 external mailboxes. It does work for 2013 mailboxes internally and externally-
and 2007 mailboxes internally.
Exchange 2013 SP1. Exchange 2007 Sp3 RU10. Legacy namespace is in use and on certificate. Outlook Anywhere IIS Authentication is set to Basic and NTLM on both 2007 and 2013 servers. Outlook Anywhere external client authentication is set to Basic.
Any sugestions what to look at next?

Tony,
I apologize for the stupid question, but was Outlook Anywhere working on Exchange 2007 before you started the upgrade?
When you open command prompt on Exchange 2007 and ping the Exchange 2007 internal FQDN or NetBIOS name, do you get an IPv4 address or you get the IPv6 one?

Toshiba Satellite a505-6005 hard drive issue and questions regarding options I may have

Issue: start up computer and windows does not start. It eventually goes to a startup repair screen and eventually says "resolving disk errors...", and that's if it even gets to that screen. Unfortunately I never made a recovery disk or system image discs (I know that was not smart). I did however kept my files backed up so that was good.
Steps I took: Took it to Best Buy and the tech advised me that the Black Tie 2 year protection had expired on Jan 30th 2012, and so it could not be repaired for free. I asked the tech there how much it would cost to fix and they had advised me that it was most likely a hard drive issue and that it would cost nearly $400 to replace/fix it. So I decided to buy a new Asus K53E-BBR14 laptop since it was not much more. When I got home and loaded everything up and got the computer to how I want, I went ahead and made a recovery disc and system image disc's. I tried using the recovery disc that I had made with my Asus in the Toshiba laptop and boot it from the dvd drive and it did not get anywhere. So I ASSUME that it really is a hard drive error because the RAM worked just fine in my new laptop and "repairing disk errors.." means something is wrong with the hard drive:
Now that you know the background of what has happened my questions are as followed:
1. Can I buy a new hard drive for the Toshiba and use the recovery and system image disc's i created on the new hard drive that i install in the toshiba? and just removed the bloatware from Asus (or does that not even get added to the disc's I created)?
2. If so, will it prompt me to enter the Windows 7 product key? and therefore using the product key located on the bottom of the toshiba?
3. What other steps could I take to make this toshiba laptop salvageable? This way i can turn around and sell it.
Thanks,
Russell States

Also,
I noticed that i can purchase (well pay the shipping anyways) recovery media from Toshiba. Can I use that on a new hard drive installed in the toshiba?
BTW ran the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool and no problems were found with the memory. and i do not care about the old hard drive as I have MY files backed up. I just want to try to get this toshiba laptop back to being "like new".
Thanks,
Russell

Exchange Server 2013 Outlook Anywhere issue

I am working on an issue with Outlook Anywhere in Exchange 2013 where external users cannot connect. This is a new server co-existing with an Exchange
2010 server that will soon be decommissioned.
When I run an Outlook Connectivity test on testexchangeconnectivity.com I get the following error. I am not seeing anything in the application or system logs.
I already applied CU 6 (which was released today) and am seeing the same results. Port 443 is exposed directly to the web (no TMG, load balancer, proxy server, or SSL accelerator). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Does the issue only happen to your Exchange 2013 external users? How about Exchange 2010 users?
Please make sure the external host name in your external Exchange URL is pointed to your Exchange 2013 in public DNS. For your coexistence environment, please make sure the Outlook Anywhere configurations are correct in both Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013.
We can run the following command to check it:
Get-OutlookAnywhere | FL
If the configuration is not correct, we can run the following command to set it(supposing the mail.domain.com is your External host name):
For Exchange 2010:
Set-OutlookAnywhere -Identity “E14-01\Rpc (Default Web Site)” -ClientAuthenticationMethod Basic -SSLOffloading $False -ExternalHostName mail.domain.com -IISAuthenticationMethods NTLM, Basic
For Exchange 2013:
Set-OutlookAnywhere -Identity "E15-01\Rpc (Default Web Site)" -InternalHostname mail.domain.com -ExternalHostname mail.domain.com -InternalClientAuthenticationMethod Ntlm -ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod Basic -ExternalClientsRequireSsl
$True -InternalClientsRequireSsl $true
After all settings, please recycle MS Exchange RPCProxy AppPools and Default AppPools on both Exchange 2013 and Exchange 2010. Then restart IIS service by running IISReset /noforce from a command prompt window.

Exchange 2010 Outlook Anywhere issues

I have an Exchange 2010 cas server that works fine with OWA internally and over the internet, and Outlook Anywhere works fine internally. When I try to access it outside the office though, the authentication prompt just keeps coming up for any user I try
it on. I have used the connectivity analyzer, and it gives me what I've pasted below. I have disabled OA and uninstalled the RPC, rebooted and installed again and set it back up, with no luck. I've also tried both NTLM and Basic setups on the server side,
and they both give the same error from outside the office. I also have checked my firewall settings, and everything is good. The only thing I can think of is that my reverse proxy is causing an issue. We have RHEL 5 with apache doing reverse proxy. Everything
else works though, so I'm not sure why OA wouldn't?
RPC Proxy can't be pinged.

Hello
501 is an internal server error.
Please browse RPC virtual directory from outside, and see if you are getting a default response - Which should be a blank page.
If you are not getting a blank page, then you need to troubleshoot that first - May be re-install RPC over HTTP.

OS 10.3.1 Update - issues and question on how to uninstall / rollback

Hi.
Up front, I'm trying to remain calm, professional, objective. Pretty sure I've missed the mark, but, then, read on...
I'm having some issues with OS 10.3.1 update. Before anyone says search the boards, I have. For hours. On various websites. I'd appreciate (but am not hopeful for) an official response from BlackBerry.
1. I am using a Z30. Carrier is Rogers Wireless (Canada) Updates are set to off. Yet, unbelievably, the update came down anyway, when I was driving, didn't know until I got home. Device rebooted and now 10.3.1xxxx is on my smartphone.
ISSUES:
1. The screen blacks out. EVERY TIME I wake it, the display is zoomed in. I have to gesture and gesture and gesture to get the display to fit the screen so I can unlock the phone.
2. The home screen is not customisable, and is the default. Now I have to swipe to get to either the hub or my applications. Twice the work = 1/2 the productivity.
3. The much-vaunted Assistant does what, exactly? All I know is when I did voice dialing via Bluetooth earpiece, the call would (75% of the time) be made. The other 25% of the time, I have to tell it "Call Mom Home" is not the same as "search battery charge". Yeah, my bluetooth is a very expensive, highly-rated one that has no issues in recognition with any other device. Now, the Voice part (Assistant?) doesn't make ANY calls. At best, it offers me suggestions, usually not related (Linda <> Tom) and wastes my time reading out multiple PHONE NUMBERS. Good grief, If I knew the darn phone number, I'd just tell it, Call (phone number). It'd be faster than sitting through all that. Otherwise, Voice Assistant whatever doesn't do much of anything for me. I have it set, as far as I can tell, to do the minimum, not interact with everything on my phone.
4. Although the new Camera app now (finally!) renders colours more-or-less correctly, whereas before everything was tinted blue, I'm not a fan of the new positioning of the controls. Putting the video button beside the "Take picture" button is ridiculous. The touch sensitivity is so off, that I find myself recording video rather than taking a wanted picture --- and the moment is lost. I really miss being able to tap the screen to take a picture. Now I have to aim for a small dot at the bottom. If I wanted an iPhone, I would have bought an iPhone!
5. More on the Camera front, it's now difficult to get to photos. As in, I touch the icon to bring up the list of photos, and the latest shot never appears. I have to swipe to find it. And in a different direction now.
6. In the Hub, especially, the "select multiple" used to be right in the middle of the menu. Now I have to scroll down to find and activate it.
7. What's with the honking battery drain? More tinkering required on my part to get it back to the 4-day standby I used to enjoy?
MISSED FEATURES UPDATES:
1. I was really hoping this latest update with display the NUMBER of the phone entry. Such as Work 1, Work 2, etc. I find it useful to assign direct number always as Work 1, then toll free as Work 2, Main reception as Work 3, Home as Work 4, and so on. Then it's easy to use (or used to be) voice dialling to call the number I want without knowing what the number actually is. I was also hoping the update would eliminate that so offensive message "next time, just say call xxxxx Mobile 2" or whatever. Which I darn well would, if there was anything in the contacts to display the sequence of numbers.
2. Calendar. Seriously, why can't I set a reminder for somewhere between 3 and 7 days???? I'm so tired of setting one for (7-3) days, doing the calculation in my head to bypass weekends or other events) then having to update the reminder when I get to the BlackBerry-approved 3 day range. Other smart phones allow any custom setting. Allow me to also ask, put the custom reminder FIRST. Don't make us scroll all the way to the bottom to find it!
3. Allow me to put my most-used icons on the fricking HOME SCREEN! I don't care about the cutesy pictures. I care about getting my job done as quickly and conveniently as possible.
4. Fix the darn voice control mechanism. I bought expensive Bluetooth pieces. All I want to do is do voice dialling. That's it.
5. Give me some control over the spell check. There's no way to edit the words that are "learnt" through monitoring usage.
6. Enough with the US-marketing. Mountain Time is Mountain Time. Not US-Mountain Time. I'm not picking something like that, I don't care who that offends. It's as dumb as as settting time zones (as Apple used to) to "Calgary, Alberta." I don't live in Calgary. I do live in the GENERIC Mountain time Zone.
7. Speaking of, I also speak English. Not US-English with US-spelling. How about giving Canada some love
8. Give me the option to rollback the update. Or at least choose which parts I want.
9. Expand support for file formats. At this point, I can only load documents onto my smartphone if they're Adobe or Microsoft Office. Here's the thing - I operate in the Corel WordPerfect universe. So the Z30 is limited in what I can / can't do with it. Why on earth can't I just copy my FILES to my phone? Even if I can't edit them, I can use the whopping 64 GB memory chip as a flash drive to take my files with me when I travel. I don't always take a computer ...sometimes I use what's at destination. Plus having them on the phone SHOULD allow me to email them or send in other ways...whether or nor BlackBerry can read them.
===================
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE:
Better - release an immediate UPDATE to fix these problems and add the features I've noted above. Surely I'm not the only one struggling with the built-in limitations of the interface and info-displays.
Please tell me how I can rollback / uninstall / whatever this "update".
I shudder to think the only solution is to backup, restore, then reload the Z30. Others have tried and have not been successful.
MORE VENTING;
The only reason I'm still on BlackBerry is that the issues and to an extent a difference in perspective regarding phone layout / features are still less problematic on BB Z30 than they are on ios or android platforms. Absolutely in my opinion. But then, I'm the one with a frustration level well into the redline.
Thanks for reading. I'll be even more grateful for some resolution.

Problems installing windows on a clean Mac Pro internal drive - issues and questions

Hey,
I have a Mac Pro mid 2010 with the following drive configurations:
3x120GB SSD in a RAID-0 as Boot (OS X 10.8.6) and SSD Scratch (working files)
3x4TB HDD in a RAID-0 as Master (data) and HDD Scratch (downloads)
1x100GB SSD (Spare...to install windows on)
I have literally tried every possible way of installing Windows 8 on that single SSD...both using bootcamp and without.
I can get it installed and working, install all the drivers/updates/software...involving multiple reboots into windows. Everything seems fine, and i shut down and boot into OS X, which works perfectly as expected. BUT, when i try and boot into Windows again (using <option> key at startupand selecting the windows volume, called "EFI Boot" which i did not name) I can log in and start using apps and then 20-40 seconds later i get the BSOD.
I can't for the life of me figure out why.
It's the easiest thing in the world to partition a single OSX drive to boot windows ON THE SAME DRIVE, but i can't seem to boot stably into a standaloe internal drive.
NOTE: I prepare the Windows drive by formatting the entire thing to "Free Space" using disk utility in Mac OS X, and can see that there are no partitions (EFI or otherwise) on the drive. Then I pull all the other drives except the target drive, reboot with a Windows 8 USB drive (created by BootCamp Assistant on my macbook air, because apparently some genius thought that task was too complicated for a Mac Pro...jks) and install from there. The funny part is that i can pick out the target drive in the windows setup, it's registering as 1 disk/partition of UNALLOCATED SPACE, as expected, but there is a warming that windows cannot be installed on this drive because my computer does not support booting to this disk, and that i should check that it's controller is enabled in the BIOS.....which to the best of my knowledge is not used by intel-macs, which use UEFI. But i can still click "Next", so I do and install Windows and boot to this drive, restarting and installing software updates and drivers as mentioned above.
The BSOD seems to pop up only after i've rebooted to Mac OS X and then try to go BACK to Windows 8.
The version of windows 8 and install USB were checked using my macbook air, and they work flawlessly. ASLO that warning about not being able to boot to the drive during windows setup isn't present.
I'm wondering if the fact the the RAID volumes are a software RAID, using Disk Utility in OSX is causing windows some issues...which makes no sense.
I'll keep playing, but I'm not confident I'm ever going to find a solution.
Somebody be my hero...

Hey Hatter,
Another question for you:
I can't seem to use system preferences>>startup disk to boot into windows. When I select windows and then restart i get a black "BIOS-like" screen which then cuts out and a message is displayed that says "there is no bootable disc"
This stumped me, because I know i can boot into windows from the boot screen (holding down option and selecting "EFI Boot" which apparently is what my windows drive is called.
because of my Mac OSX Raid arrays, i had to install windows by formatting a drive to HFS+ (GUID) pratition table, then repartition to "Free Space" then using an install usb that i made with my macbook air, pull all my other drives and install by selecting the usb drive to boot from.
I went into disk utility to see if I can repair the disk, and disk utility says that the disk has to EFI partition and that we won;t be able to boot from it....which is very confusing because i can boot from it.
Windows 8 apparentl;y uses UEFI from my research....so i'm utterly stumped.
I beleive this is also the cause of my newly purchased graphics card Mac Edition HD 7950, throwing me a BSOD when i select to boot in windows from the boot menu...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Outlook anywhere issue for exchange 2010 users

Hi Guys really hoping some one can help me out here.
I have just introduced 2 new exchange 2013 servers into our existing exchange 2010 environment. 1 CAS server and 1 mailbox server.
The issue i'm having is that any users that are on exchange 2010 mailbox servers can't connect to their profiles in outlook via the exchange 2013 cas box. OWA works fine and users that are on exchange 2013 mailboxes also work fine.
Authentication is set to on exchange 2013 and 2010 cas boxes to
Exchange 2013 cas
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
IISAuthenticationMethods           : {Basic, Ntlm}
Exchange 2010 cas
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Basic
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
IISAuthenticationMethods           : {Basic, Ntlm}
I was also wondering should I have a reg key on my exchange cas box of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\RpcProxy\validports_autoconfigure_exchange ???

Thanks for the reply i have changed it to the following
Exchange 2013 cas
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Basic
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
IISAuthenticationMethods           : {Basic, Ntlm}
Exchange 2010 cas
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Basic
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
IISAuthenticationMethods           : {Basic, Ntlm}
and reset iis but still no luck authenticating with outlook on existing profiles or a new profile.

Calendar and Outlook sync issues and inconsistencies

Hello,
These issues have existed since my first iPhone (3GS) and Outlook 2007, and they continue today with my 5S and Outlook 2010:
1. When I add an appointment on my iPhone calendar, after I sync with my PC the appointment in my Outlook calendar has a 99 day alarm and is marked as private. I do not set either of these attributes when creating the appointment on my iPhone calendar.
2. Some all-day appointments that I create in Outlook show as 12am to 12am across two days on my iPhone calendar.
3. Some all-day appointments that I create in Outlook show as No Time on the iPhone, others show as the entire day.
4. After syncing through iTunes, some iPhone calendar items that have specific times get moved to the no time area in Outlook.
5. Notes for calendar appointments lose their formatting when I edit and update the note on my iPhone.
Looking for resolutions to the above annoyances.
Thank you,
Jeff

There was a setting I hadn't found in the PC Companion software:
On the start sync page there is a settings heading next to a spanner on the righthand side - this takes you to sync settings
Select Personal Data Selection and then the properties button for Calendar
You can then set the sync to select all your appointments or a subset.
I hope that this helps someone - it has taken hours to find this setting!

8.3.1 SVM DR - issues and questions

Hi everybody, I know that the SVM DR feature is just our with 8.3.1 RC1 but we need to test it in advance because one of our customer we're transitioning to cDOT from a consolidate and 10 years of 7Mode history! A very smart customer deeply customizing solutions, a pioneer in WFA and SnapCreator features and so on! We've tested the SVM DR feature and it roughly do what is declared on doc. But... We’re still experiencing a lot of issues related to porting what they have now to what they exptect to have... As reported it seems that it does the work that someone could expect as…basic way. But at this customer the world is a little bit more complicated (does it is the only one using that DR way with 7Mode? I don’t think so!) We need to understand how to proceed to set up this DR. Or we (better NetApp!) must officially communicate to customers that they can wast their –perfectly working for test and troubles- DR approach for it’s not possible in cDOT! Let me resume the issue.This customer, since years, doesn’t use the vFiler DR direct approach but, at the snapmirrored destination flexclone volumes are created and on this run vfiler with –d option that start from the root volume of the vfiler. I.e. (the ✓ stands for running, the X for stopped/offlined/mirrored) ✓ ✓ X ✓ ✓ Production ----sm---> DR ---flexclone---> DR_clone –vfilercreate --> vfiler in dr This permit to have a point in time instance with all the initial configurations (share/exports/MSAD domain join, users, security ecc).This also let have the choice to choose the snapshot used as starting point and, overall, this let to maintain the source-destination replicas active and updated. All of those is automated using WFA, so it’s enough a click and everything go! We’ve seen that SVM DR more ore less work as vfiler dr worked. ✓ ✓ XProduction ----sm---> DR < break of mirror relationship – a MUST > X X ✓Production ----sm---> DR We’ve also seen with some trick and maintaining the production and test network separated in different IP spaces (and ports, switches, vlan…) that we can have both running the source and the destination, but we must also break the sm relationship! ✓ X ✓Production ----sm---> DR These releationships unfortunately are essential prerequisites for this customer. Let me say vols (in SVMs) must continue to replicate for the DR test SVM could be up also for 10 and more days! And customer cannot permit the risk to loose its replicated/updated copies… The questions are: is there something like vfiler create –d? (documentation does not report anything else than “normal” usage)Something that let us create an SVM with all configurations inside but starting from cloned vols at destination snapmirrored site? We’re really in trouble for customer is starting to suspect that this cDot could be a boomerang and, except for VSAN and VVOL support for VMware 6, the things they’ve loosed are more than the one they’ve gained! Any help will be appreciated!

We have been part of the beta program for SVM-DR for a while and are now still testing it in RC1. We are huge vfiler-dr shop. If you have any need to flexclone off the DR, then svm-dr will NOT work for you since you cannot flexclone off an SVM-DR. We aren't even considering SVM-DR because identity discard/preserve methods just don't fit the bill.

Msi gt70 with some issues and questions answer asap thanks

my first issue is my ssd it is just too small how do I increase it probably a step by step link to where I can purchase and learn how to install it second of all I really need my msi burn recovery so my f3 does not work anymore, I have my drivers cd but that doesn't have it, the next issue is softwares I use when the render the use my ssd and that makes them seriously slow the need more memory space I wish I could make them use the bigger harddrive at least for the main time till I get a new one, my soft keys work except eject and wireless off all others work

Wow.....
Well, first off, try and use some periods here and there. Or a list. Something to atleast break things up in a coherent manner.
So, you want a guide on how to install another SSD. That's a pretty complex matter, judging by what I can get out of your post, your technical prowess may not be where it needs to be in order to do that.
Also, without knowing what you currently have, other than it is a GT70, it really makes it difficult to tell you what to get.
As far as your software, I'm sorry, but there really isn't any way to help you since you seem to have not made the recovery disks like you were supposed to. I would contact MSI for more information on how to proceed at this point.
After we get the above sorted, we can work on your other questions.

A Few Issues and Questions I Have (GRUB, pacman, XBMC)

Hi everyone. (Skip to the third paragraph for where my questions start, I got a little carried away in the first two, sorry!)
I installed Arch Linux for the first time around a week ago. I am now on my third install. The first time I reinstalled because I was experimenting too much with window managers, xfce4 and other desktop environments. I tried to tweak too much and couldn't boot into a graphical environment. I know I could of removed everything using pacman and re-installing the programs I liked but I wanted to start a fresh completely, had no real other reason really. All went well and my system was up and running again with GNOME (previously my go to desktop environment). However now and again my laptop wouldn't boot GRUB. It would just stop after my BIOS screen with the Acer logo.
Eventually I started tinkering with window managers and installing just the bare minimum. I really liked what I ended with and so wanted to reinstall again. This time because I was going for the bare minimum approach, had a lot of installed bloat, wanted to move to btrfs and wanted to learn a lot more about how the system works. Previously I had followed a guide and taken very little in, if I was going to be working without a desktop environment I knew I would need to be in the command line a lot and so this time I had my longest install yet, as I read everything slowly and tried to learn what I was doing. Evidently this was my only problem free install. This time I still have my GRUB problem however.
So for my first install GRUB worked fine, however on my second and third it randomly doesn't load (Picture included at the end). After having to power off by holding the power button and restarting it will then load fine. It's unresponsive to just pressing the power button and waiting or CTRL+ALT+Delete. This can happen on a reboot or when turning on after a period of down time. AFAIK I installed GRUB the same way both times. I have tried reinstalling GRUB and the problem remains.
My second question is in regards to my many installs. Is there any easy way to see programmes I have installed so I can remove what I don't need? I have tried pacman -Qe but I still get a lot of programmes that I haven't installed, I assume they are in the base, or base-devel group, so is there anyway I can not have these showing in my list of installed packages? I don't believe an --ignoregroup option exists when running a query with pacman like it does when installing and updating.
Lastly XBMC doesn't recognise my second screen, a projector, after I have enabled it with xrandr. Now I have found a workaround by looking on google, with wmctrl and have embedded the command in my open-box menu. This makes my XBMC believe it is windowed however instead of being true full screen. I was wondering whether anybody knows of an explicit solution instead of working around the problem.
Heres the link to the picture for GRUB, this is all I get after the BIOS: http://imgur.com/a/uhVgp
Please ignore the second picture, I thought my system wasn't updating but turns out the application I thought wasn't updating was in fact in Community-Testing, not Community, oops.
I'm sorry if these solutions can be found elsewhere, I really have tried looking around but don't believe I'm finding what I need. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong terms, I'm not too sure.
Thank you for any help.
EDIT: Minor edit, but wow I've been running Arch now for 2 weeks, not 1, time flies sometimes eh?
EDIT2: FINALLY got Arch to listen to my line-in, my Wii-U audio goes through my external sound card and I have never got it to work under Linux. Been trying for over a year for this to work, had to use Windows to listen to line in. That's one less reason to keep Windows. I love Arch, guess it's time for some Smash Bros and Monster Hunter 3U tonight!

Nokia Lumia 900 Issues and Questions

I bought my Nokia Lumia 900 last March and it's running pretty well. It's fast and reliable, although I have some issues regarding it.
1. When I'm in a conversation and I receive multiple text messages, I need to press the back button as many times as the number of messages I have received so I can go back to the menu. Not a big problem at all, but it can be quite annoying once you've already received a lot of messages and you try to go back to the messages screen.
2. I don't have the compass. When I try to download apps, it says my phone is missing some features that the app requires, which happens to be the compass. The phone's specification (on the Nokia website) says that the phone has a magnetometer, GSMArena and Wikipedia both say that the Lumia 900 has a compass.
3. It doesn't have Xbox Live. It's also included in the specifications that the Lumia 900 has Xbox Live, but when I go to Games, I only get Collection.
Issue number 1 isn't that much of a problem, but issues 2 and 3 are very disappointing. I tried searching for ways to fix these and I found an article saying that a reset will fix the compass and Xbox Live issue. I did that, and when I opened it, I saw Xbox Live on my Start Screen but when I activated my Wi-Fi, it changed to Games and still no Xbox Live there. The compass problem isn't fixed either. To those who experienced the same issues, can you please tell me how you fixed it? Thanks in advance.
Also, about the 7.8 update, I've been waiting for it for some time now and it's now available on my unit. Is it safe to install? I'm worried that if it fails it might make my phone useless. How long does it usually take?

Hi Ronio9riku,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
1. Once you received multiple text messages, can you not open one message and then press the Start button to go back to the live tiles and select Messaging again to go to the next message?
2. The phone supports compass (magnetometer). Have you tried to use the On-Device Diagnostic Tools to calibrate the Magnetomer? You can open the dialer and then input ##634#. Select Magnetometer and then calibrate the phone. Make sure that the location of the phone is On under Settings!
3. The phone supports Xbox Live which you can access on the phone by selecting Games on the start screen or by going to the App List. However, Xbox Live is not available to all countries/regions. You can visit the link for the countries/regions supported: www.xbox.com/LIVE/countries.
It's safe and recommended to update the phone whenever there is a software update offered. This improves the perfomance of the phone so why not connect your phone to your computer, open the Zune and install the update?

If you're asking how long the update takes, it is usually 30 minutes to 1 hour.

IMovie video issues and question

I am working with the latest version of iMovie and I'm having issues with my screen freezing and keep having to force quit my computer in order to get
everything back to a normal state.
I will be making a movie in imovie 10.
Everything appears fine for about 20 min.....
Then it freezes and then..... well.... see image below
I think it may have something to do with where iMovie (previous version) was set up to use an external harddrive to save and work with files...?
How do I change this in the new version?
I want to try and reproduce this issue where everything is on the internal harddrive.
My machine is
20-inch, Early 2008
Memory 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128 MB
Software OS X 10.9

mmmmm.
Well I opened imovie and watched the errors and such flow on console....
It is all jiberish to me......
Did a google search on a few and well.....more over my head talk...

Some issues and questions about StorE TV

Hi there! I bought stor.e tv a week ago and there are number of issues, in order of personal importance:
1. It slows down audio playback. It happens when playing standard mp.3s on my home stereo through the analogue outlet - my music sounds bizarre, slowed-down and with lowered frequency. I have to go back change, settings to HDMI output (normal speed play, no problem), then change again to analog, scroll through the folders to find the song I want to play and play it again - voila, it works normally. Quite a complex way to play a song properly, don't you think?!
2. When there are ID tags (especially album art) to the songs it takes ages to shift from one song to the next.
3. Audio settings are often forgotten after the unit has been shut down normally from the remote control only - you switch it on again and it's not how I left it but back to HDMI. So, I have to remember any time checking the settings before playing a song?! Even though, in a crooked way, that^s helpful having in mind problem 1.
4. Does not display correctly Cyrillic subtitles.
5. Heats quite a lot.
There are other things too (no playlists, slow, lagging, etc). I am actually writing that just before going back to the shop and ask for my money back.
Cheers, guys!

Hi
> 4. Does not display correctly Cyrillic subtitles.
Yes, this was mentioned in other threads seems that not all subtitles are supported.

Regarding the other issues;
I think you should try to reset the E Store TV to default again and should check how it works.
In many cases this helps to solve such annoying issues.
