Really frustrating internet issues (N8 Belle)
Hi guys,
Just got my phone back after more than four months of it being stuck in the repair shop for camera issues. The net result was that they eventually just replaced the entire motherboard and case - the phone I got back wasn't the phone I dropped in. Not that that bothered me - the case was in better nick than my old one, and everything worked - just had some data loss to deal with.
The point, though, is that not only were all my settings lost, but the guys at the shop took the opportunity to install Belle onto the handset as well (which is not yet officially available here in Australia). Since I've had it back (the last 6 or so hours of fiddling with it) I've yet to be able to get any of the additional apps that require internet connectivity to work - Social, Ovi store, Email, the Weather app from Beta Labs - nothing. I know that the internet is working on it, since the main web browser will access the internet. I don't have wi-fi to test it on, so this is all going through 3G (Telstra, if it's relevant).
I honestly can't figure out why it's doing this. Do I have a faulty unit? Or is this some kind of externally imposed 'punishment' for people accessing Belle before it's officially released in Austraia? Or are their legitimate problems with the OS that mean it doesn't yet fully integrate with our carriers? Or am I just doing something stupid and not setting the phone up correctly?
As frustrating as it will be, if it is just a matter of waiting until an official Australian Belle release comes around, I can handle that (I've gone 4 1/2 months without the unit at all, I can wait a couple more without email and facebook apps), but if there is a solution, I'd like to know about it, similarly if it's a faulty unit... well, at that point I'll probably just give up and downgrade to an N9 (I like my big fancy 12mp camera, though ).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.
The networks wouldn't be able to detect your OS, so you can rule that out. It can only be the settings within your phone.
Forgive me but I no longer have a belle device so this is from memory:-
Try going to settings-Connectivity-Internet Connections-Internet
See what order they are set to access the internet and make sure the correct one is top of the list.
Again, apologies this is from memory, but the required settings should be around there.
If I have helped you, please hit the star at the bottom of my posts - it's appreciated!

Error - 50 and other really frustrating issues, none resolved so far on online community
Hi all,
I'm on the verge of giving up on Apple Itunes and the Store altogether. Since the second last iTunes update came out I've had continuing issues with downloads that get interrupted with a range of error messages coming up, the most recent and by far most common being Error -50. These days it's a 50/50 gamble whether iTunes actually opens or not. When it is open and I download something from the Store, chances are the following will happen:
*The download will be intterupted and iTunes closes, not to be opened again until the computer has been restarted a couple of times.
*The sound and moving image will abruptly get out of sink
*The sound will stall then disappear altogether, following by iTunes stopping to work completely
*I've also had it that a downloaded rental will abruptly stop and when I restart the whole rental is gone and forefeited.
This is really frustrating and I've already begun to buy most of my online content elsewhere.
Customer Support are all very nice people, but they've politely said to me, we can help you to a point -- from hear on in you have to pay for support! Pay for it?! When there stuff isn't working. I haven't changed anything about my computer until those new updates came along and ruined a perfect relationship!
Nevertheless, for those of you that think you can help me, I have done the following:
*Checked computer date and time
*Running Apple as administrator (though I've never had to, and it doesn't seem to fix anything anyway!)
*Checked that iTunes is allowed by my firewall and anti-virus software AVG.
*Re-installed iTunes
Any (conclusive!) help would be massively appreciated!
RichardMy home is 2880sqft and a two story, I have the router in the game room upstairs (moved from the office to a more central location recently). However, my signal strength on my devices is 100% but my connection speeds when connected to wireless just always drop or are sometimes non existent and I have to disconnect my device from wireless and re-connect. It is as if I'm connected to the router but I'm just not getting internet connectivity. I can be sitting right next to the router and this happens. This only happens with wireless I always have a steady connection when connected with ethernet.
If I change to different SSIDs won't that disable the devices being able to see each other on the same network? Mainly need to be able to stream content to my devices.
I will try this solution, but if this doesn't work should I be looking at upgrading to a newer model (hate that I spent so much on this one) or look elsewhere for my wireless router solutions.

It's so annoying!! I have created a new Apple ID but after I click verify it just goes back to the previous page!!! It''s really frustrating I have tried for more than 4H, and the problem is not about the apple ID. I can download apps with the apple ID, which means IMessage is the problem! I restarted my iPad, I logged in and out of the apple ID in the store, AND YET IT STILL WON'T WORK, PLEASE HELP!
Hi Vmanfromusa!
It sounds like you are having an issue with activating your iMessage app on your iPad. An article outlining some troubleshooting steps for this issue can be found here:

Hi All
i have been trawling through the fourms and still cannot find a solution to my iMac internet issues. I have done a complete format and reinstall of Mac OS X 10.3.9 (to be fair i downloaded update on another computer and instelled via USB stick) everything works great can import into firewire from camcorder etc. Airport card can see the wireless connection but when i enter the password it states there is a problem and connot connect. I have tried everying (to what i can understand anyway) and teh main reason for a clean install was to get rid of any possible conflicts that may have been there.
everything else can use the internet including my MacBook (intel) fine. Some one did suggest once that DNS settings were not correct which to be honest i did not userstand how to alter them, plus if eberying else was ok why just this iMac playing up.
Please can you assist just want to this to connect so my son can upload his filming to pleople for his re school assignments.
thank you in advance
PeterOops!
Could you specify what iMac you have, the specs of the system & computer,
as that may help research or find workable ideas for you to try. This would
help in troubleshooting, or in discovering Support articles to link you to in
the course of a discussion.
I just re-read your post and had thought it was for a later
mac + OS X that would not run in PowerPC vintage!
(The mention of MacBook threw me off, as did a recent newer
OS X upgrade that may run -- in that newer hardware 10.9.3)
So you've upgraded a PowerPC iMacG4 to Leopard 10.3.9
and the internet doesn't work? The wireless router may be
using a different security protcol than the old Airport Card
can support; you may have to test the unit via Ethernet to
be sure the computer itself is fully updated. It may go to
Apple servers to look for Software Updates.
The settings for the wireless security may be incorrect,
since later WPA2, won't apply to vintage AirPort card.
With a later OS X such as Tiger 10.4(.11) the odds do
improve for connectivity to the internet.
The DNS settings should not be an issue if you can use the
internet with a recent version computer and later OS X.
Not sure how to help, except to try as a test, to run without
the security you'd really want with the wi-fi (WPA2, etc)
turned on, to see if the old iMac can then use it.
Another issue would be the lack of correct frequency; a
newer Wi-Fi system may not be set to be backward
compatible to 802.11a/b, newer ones use 802.11/b/g/n/+
You may check to see if the router has a setting to allow
use of lower or older spec connection.

Take it somewhere that has better broadband. The best you can do sometimes is invest in new modem that works with your system instead of the rental etc in most cases.
Do a Safe Boot.
Make sure your firewall is set properly. Don't use 3rd party. AV software can get in the way.
Make sure you are getting the service and a clean strong modem signal - slow is one thing but if it drops off and can't maintain a connection you have hardware issues, not software - and upgrade to a new OS doesn't tend to improve, it may even not work with older networking equipment once you do get it.
I agree and think electronic only goes too far. And when you do get it: burn the package and manually set it aside first before running the intaller! make a flash memory installer, put it on DVDs too. -
[URGENT] Really frustrated over 'Not Charging' Err...
Hi,
I have Nokia x6 16gb and when I plug it to charge it it shows 'Not Charging' which is really frustrating :/
I use the charger that came along with my phone, I also used the charger which came along with another Nokia Phone (Both Orignal Chargers) and still this happens.
I had this problem before (Oct'13) but I pulled out my sim and then charged it and it worked, I tried the same again but no results.
When I open my phone, I have an app (iON Battery Charger) which displays my battery charge to be 7% but after I plug in my charger, after it displays error the App says 'Battery API Error'.
I have over a hundred problems with my x6 but I'm living with it but this one is serious.
Please help its Urgent.We understand. If there's a Nokia Care Point near your location, you may consider bringing the phone in to possibly test it with another battery. In the event it's identified that the issue is with the phone, it has to be evaluated by the authorized technicians.
You may visit the below link to select your local Nokia support site for repair instructions/store locator:

Really frustrating update failures. Slowed down my PC by 1000 times
Hello, I've been using windows 8 from its beta days. But after upgrading to windows 8.1, every major update seems to fail. I've also looked into the history and tried installing them manually but it fails after the stage "copying packages to the windows
update package". And if this isn't bad enough, my laptop takes about 20-25 minutes to shut down. It keeps showing "preparing updates, please don't turn off your computer".
I am getting really frustrated since there is nothing I can do about this. And this doesn't seem to be the first time, it happens every time there is a major update.
Also after this update failures, i seem to have other issues such as
Wifi stops working after 5 minutes of youtube streaming
chrome crashes more often than ever
performance in general has been absolutely awful
None of these happened before. Also I do not have any viruses or malwares.
Currently failed updates.
KB2887595
KB2919355
Should i just downgrade back to windows 7? Or is there a permanent solution to this problem.
Also when I install the update manually, the error says "The system cannot find the path specified"Hi,
Are there any error code? please also check Windows\logs\cbs for the detailed information.
for KB 2919255, this is a known update , we call it Windows 8.1 update 1, you can refer to this link ans see if it can help you
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/install-latest-update-windows-8-1
You can also clear the software distribution folder, then install the updates again.
At the Command Prompt type the following commands one at a time:
net stop wuauserv hit enter
net stop bits hit enter
Now browse to the C:\Windows\Software Distribution folder and delete all the files and folders inside.
net start wuauserv hit enter
net start bits hit enter
Meanwhile, keep your windows uo to date before installing the two updates. KB 2919442 is the prerequisite to install KB 2919355

I can't download Ikea 3D kitchen planner. It's really frustrating - a message is appearing on my mac book pro that I ned to get info and check that various files are unlocked. I've checked that all other requirements are fulfilled, still won't download. Any help very gratefully received. Thank you.
Hi, I'm not really very good with computers and am having the same problems when trying to install the Ikea 3D kitchen planner, please could you take me through the steps?
1. Download (save) the disk image file 2020PluginInstaller.dmg
I double click on the link which says "Install 3D Planner"
I agree to the t&cs
A file downloads to my download folder called 2020PluginInstaller_IKEA.dmg
2. Mount the disk image (open/run the downloaded file) if not mounted automatically
I double click on the downloaded file
3. Find the 2020PluginInstaller window (might be behind the window on top)
A small window opens up with a lego brick called 2020PluginInstaller_IKEA.dmg and a folder called Internet plug ins. I highlight the lego brick and do File, Get info and unlock it
4. Drag the lego piece to the folder (if you do not have admin privileges you will be prompted to authenticate)
I do this and put in a password to authenticate
5. Restart the browser (it is not enough to close the browser window, you need to restart the browser
application)
I've tried restarting Safari, I've tried re-starting the computer
6. Access the same link and you will now see the Start button and be able to start planning your room!"
When I go back to the IKEA kitchen planner I don't see a start button, I just see the exact same screen as before prompting me to install the 3D planner
Please can you help? -
Hi there
It's been a while since I last posted on these forums with an internet issue, but my connection is really messed up. I'll see if I can do the speedtester stuff in between the constant disconnections that I am getting.
My router stats are at the end of this message. Despite the fact my Downstream speed keeps switching between 6Mbps - 7.9Mbps, I am getting around 1.6Mbps, which I expect. The very high number of errors is telling me that my line is really noisy: my parents have told me that the line, when using the phone, was very noisy when calling other people, which would confirm that theory.
I do know that there are some works being done in a plot of land right next to the telephone exchange and I suspect it's BT adding the fibre broadband exchange in preparation of activating fibre in my area by the end of the year, is it possible this is causing line issues ? I know we've also had really bad weather and I'm suspecting this to be a factor in my connection issues.
Many thanks for any help I can get.

Im signed up for the unlimited offer that gives you free calls and Internet and I topped up by 20 euro last night to continue my free calls and Internet for another month I received the text to tell me I have topped up but the 20 euro hasn't been taken out of my account and I haven't received confirmation. Now I'm a couple days early topping up but that hasn't really been an issue in the past. Can you let me know what's up, thanks.
Maria.The 3rd of June was when the offer was renewed last but I had the 20 euro early to top up so I wanted to renew it early. I've been able to do it with all the offers I have had before.

Is there a way to reset my messages account, I can't get iMessage to work on IPad nor Mac osx. Help please this is really frustrating.
Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

How do you isolate an album or artist in the new iTunes? (12.0) It is really frustrating when trying to listen to one album and I get the album in the list with all 1,025 other albums in my library. Same with the artist.
Welcome to the Discussion Forums
... I assumed that if I played the 1st track, it would continue to play the rest of the album (as iTunes does on my Macs and PCs),...
You assumed correctly, and it should continue to play the rest of the album in order. Does this happen to all your albums. Have you tried restarting the tv. -
I'm getting really frustrated and could use some help
Hello there!
I'm not sure what happened because when I plugged in my ipod today (I have an 8g ipod touch) everything was reset to the basics in itunes. My entire library was delted. Honestly I'm not really that upset by that as I was going to change out all of my music anyways.
My problems are as follows:
I can no longer add more than 1 folder at a time.
-How can I change it to where I can add multiple folders again?
When I do add a folder it now automatically takes me out of the adding music on your ipod spot (sorry I don't know how else to describe that page) but it takes me out of there and automatically creates a playlist and starts to play the folder I just added.
-How do I stop it from creating playlists automatically? I absolutely hate playlists. I've never used them and I don't forsee myself useing them anytime soon.
-How do I stop it from automatically playing the songs/folders I add?
-How do I stop it from taking me out of the ipod page and into the playlists page?
My ipod NEVER used to do any of this before so I'm really not sure why all of that changed and why I can't change it back.
My audiobooks tab is gone.
-How do I bring this back so I can audiobooks again?
I've spent the last couple of hours sifting through manuals, let me tell you 138 pages is a lot to go through, forums and google and a lot of technical jargon and acronyms. All in all, I'm having a heck of a time finding exactly what I need to help me out and I admit I am starting to get really frustrated.
The other day it was so easy, add a couple of folders to the library, select them hit apply and VOILA all was golden. Today, not so much.I'm still having troubles getting the audio books to appear.
Heres what im selecting.
and then the books tab is still not appearing.
and then as far as adding folders here is what I am doing.
this was how i had it before. it gives me mroe control to choose what i want to add.
that is where i go to add the folder, like i did before.
selecting the folder like normal.
then this box immediatly pops up. not allowing me the option to select and apply any music i may have added.
the music starts playing and it takes me to the playlist page.
but when i click on the ipod icon and go back into this area. the folder is there.
all the steps ive just shown you is how i have ALWAYS done this ever since i got my ipod. Ive never had any of these weird problems utnil today.
