RIM missses the obvious

or did they?
why in the name of all that's holy did RIM not make it possible to access all the functions of the bb most notably the calendar through the desk top manager?
was it stupidity or was it just beyond their capability?
I wonder if they have ever had the hmlity and wits to ask users how it could be improved
I,ve got alist of about 8million things

So by now you have about 7,999,898 left to go.
RIM chose not to reinvent the wheel in offering yet another desktop PIM application (like Palm does) and instead allowing the user to sync their BB device with one of a number of already tested and proven applications. For the most part, Outlook is used by many for that purpose.
I, for one, would not want to lose the Outlook integration with my calendar, contacts, notes which would be help by a third party applications such as you propose. Then so many of us would be "syncing" that application with Outlook. The way it is designed, I have no problem, works great. Try it.

I don't think it is beyond their stupidity.

TS2776 Any ideas why my Outlook 2010 is syncing with iCloud for e-mail but not for contacts and calendars? I am not a novice user and have done all the obvious things. The situation is odd because the original calendars all came from Outlook in the first

I use iMac, iPad and iPhone but also an HP laptop. I have used Macs since 1986 so I am not a novice. I set up my iCloud account, moving from MobileMe recently and everything works fine on my Apple devices. The bizarre thing is I can see all my e-mail accounts via iCloud in Outlook but the contacts and calendars are not syncing in Outlook even though the original calendar material came from Outlook (the contacts data is all from the iMac). I've tried all the obvious things and read most of the articles on the Apple Support website. All the relevant boxes are checked on the iCloud dashboard on each device but I just wondered if I was missing something obvious. I'm sure some of you will have had the same expereince and solved it. Can you help me?
Thanks in anticipation!

This forum has several active threads per day on Babylon. It really seems to be getting around. At the risk of pointing you to steps you've already tried, can you check this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/933577 Every time i open a new tab babylon search opens up! i tried looking for it in add ons but itsnot in there!

First off, this image is not a raw image. It is a compressed small-raw of some sort so Adobe's normal demosaicking algorithms are not being employed, and Adobe is having to reverse engineer R, G, B channels from Y, Cb, Cr channels, so something may be non-optimal this conversion.
Secondly, at least with this non-raw Y, Cb, Cr image, there are some Y pixels that have zero value in the file, so no matter what you do, other than adjusting the bottom of the tone curve above zero, they will be clipped.
It also seems that the clipping indicator triangles are not affected by the Detail settings so turning off any noise-reduction or sharpening is required show you which pixels the clipping triangle is keying off of.
Here is your image opened in an RawDigger which is a raw analysis program that indicates the Y channel does have a minimum value of 0:
Here is a screenshot of LR with a very small crop on the shadowed background area above the performers, with the Detail settings turned off--no noise reduction or sharpening, and the Toning settings as bright as possible, and in that small crop area, there are a few black pixels that are highlighted blue if I turn on the clipping indicator, so it's not surprising, that with this image, at least, the black clipping indicator doesn't turn off very easily. In this side-by-side, they have the same settings, but the Before image is without the clipping indicator and the After image is with the clipping indicator engaged so you can see the 4 pixels that are 0 in the tiny cropped area:
Here is a DNG of the settings as in the above LR screenshot, other than the embedded preview that appears to be the entire image not the tiny cropped area:

Exporting slideshows results in file with only the first picture then a blank white screen with music. Apple bug or am I missing the obvious?

When I export slideshows the result is a file with only the first picture then a blank white screen with music. Apple bug or am I missing the obvious?

Usually when the phone shows just the white Apple logo, it indicates an issue with the system software that prevents the phone from finishing it's boot sequence. When this happens, you will need to restore the phone, which removes all data and replaces the system software with a fresh set.
Since the phone is not seen in iTunes when it's in this state, you will have to put it into DFU mode for iTunes to see it.
To put the phone in DFU mode:
- make sure the phone is connected to a computer with the current version of iTunes on it.
- hold the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously for 8 seconds.
- let go of the sleep/wake button and continue pressing the home button. The iTunes screen will show a short progress bar then show a dialog box stating that an iPod was detected that is in recovery mode.
-click OK
-click the Restore button in the middle of the iTunes page
After the restore the phone should be back up and running and you can sync your data back.

I have the ipad2 wifi and now want the 3G instead, any options out ther besides the obvious.

I have the ipad2 and now I want the 3G instead. Any options out there besides the obvious??

The iPad itself can't be upgraded. If you want 3G and you don't want to sell yours (or return it if you are within the returns period), then you could use an iPhone as a personalobile hotpost for it, or get a mifi device which act as a mobile hotspot

How to remove block from trusted web site. I did the obvious by pasting the web address in the allow content area. What are the other ways

I am a cityville game player on facebook and for some reason today I am unable to send out blasted on the game when if fact this was never a problem. Finally I went to internet explorer and the same problem happen, but internet explorer let me know that the content was blocked. All I had to do was unblock it and that was easy and know I can blast out. However trying to remove the block from fire fox is a issue. I went into to tools and removed every block and it still want work right. Therefore, how to remove block from trusted web site. I did the obvious by pasting the web address in the allow content area under tools options. What are the other ways

Hello,

"ZENNW32.DLL is misssing the entry point nwappLoadOD."

We are getting the error
"ZENNW32.DLL is misssing the entry point nwappLoadOD."
I have found this in some other threads in this forum, but they did
not go
in a useful direction for me. This error message is appearing on a
WinXP Pro
workstation before the NWgina appears after boot up. Zen policies are
not
working.
The history of this error is that we installed SP1b on ZfD 4. We thenupdated our workstations from client 4.83 to 4.9 and afterwards the
Zen
agent to the MSI version shipping with SP1b. I have tried deleting the
installpath registry key as suggested in TID 2967507 and also followed
the
other suggestions. No luck. I also think I got the same error at some
point
after rolling back from 4.9 client to 4.83, without updating the
agent.
ZfDagent.msi will install fine on a clean machine that has not had the
previous version of the agent or client installed and policies will
work.

> interesting, someone else has reported this problem, but it looked like
> a terminal server issue.
I also found a few thread with this on the forum, but they were with
Win98 or 2k on the workstations, and we have XP, so the client is
different. Also, their problem was different, and the error message about
the missing entry point was just another one of their symptoms. My
problem is that the agent is not working on my XP workstations and I
cannot apply policies or register a workstation (which I can do with the
new wstations where we never had client 4.83 or the Zfd4 agent installed,
and also on our Win98 workstations).
> I'm still not clear on the exact sequence;
Ok, we had client 4.83 and Zfd4 installed. All was well re policies etc.
We updated to SP1b with Zfd, then we updated all our clients from 4.83 to
4.9. Then we deleted the InstallPath key in the registry, uninstalled the
Zfd4 agent and installed the .msi version tht comes with SP1b.
> If so, what options did you choose with client 4.9 during install?
The tech who did the client upgrade tells me that when she did a custom
install of 4.9 (with the old management agent present), she didn't get
the ZfD options in the client she used to get with 4.83. There was only
one box which was ticked and greyed out (i saw this too when I was
playing around). But I have since discovered, that when I took the
management agent off and then uninstalled 4.83 and installed 4.9, I had
all the ZfD options to tick I had with 4.83.
> Have
> you tried 4.9sp1a?
We did try it on a few machines, but found that a staff member who logs
in on lab machines as xxxxx.staff could not log in on the patched
clients. When we put the 'staff.' into the context field in the advanced
section of the login and only his username at the top, it worked! We
tried this on all the patched client machines and it happened on all of
them (I won't be upset if you don't believe me, it's too weird for
words!).
I'll try patching the client and see what happens when I update to
the .msi agent.
Thanks for your help, Shaun.

Missing the obvious?

Am I missing the obvious here? From FAQ:
<snip>
Q: Does ODP.NET support Windows Server 2003?
A: Yes, Windows Server 2003 is supported with ODP.NET 9.2.0.3.0 and higher
</snip>
9.2.0.3.0 does not appear to be available anywhere.

The answer will be clarified tomorrow on the FAQ page.

Besides the obvious, does anyone have any info. as to what this means:"Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired."

Besides the obvious, does anyone have any info. as to what this means:"Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired."

what do you mean by the obvious?, it's a permission issue, ARD must run as systems administrator to boardcast, tunnel IPv6 calls, etc.

Preview doesn't do the obvious...

I am trying to set up a simple presentation of a series of images.
I can create a slideshow of them in Preview but can not save the slideshow. It would have been obvious to let you save them as a QuickTime movie or print them to a multi-page pdf file. No way.
In fact this has lead me to waste an entire day unsuccessfully chasing apps to let me do this simple task.
Quicktime is crude beyond belief and failed to create a slideshow with a large number of files. It wasn't even graceful in its failure, it just went through the motions and produced no file.
I tried several times, hunting through my desktop and HDs trying to find possible places it had dumped them, to no avail.
Keynote makes me drag each file into a tailor made file and then hand place & adjust each image. It won't even let me bring in the files unless I go via iPhoto which is itself clumsy and quite confusing in its organisation style. The alternative is to drag in 1 file from the desktop, create a new page & drag in 1 file from the desktop etc. Imagine doing this for 100s of images!
iPhoto only allows 3 sizes for exported movies, none of which match my file sizes and is excruciatingly slow and seems to hang at the end with a perpetually spinning beachball.
Besides I hate having to take things into iPhoto as it creates yet more duplicates of my files, in places I have trouble locating and eats up my bootdrive.
iMovie creates huge files, blowing everything up into ridiculously large sizes.
Pages has basically the same problems as Keynote with some extra gotchas thrown in.
So much for iLife which seems to consider Hidden Features = Intuitive User Interface.
I am now going through a dozen 3rd party apps all of which also fail to deliver the goods.
How hard can this be for a simple slideshow?

I have done all that. Next time I imported photos from my camera it stuck them back into the original iPhoto Library Folder on my bootup drive. By the time I noticed, I had a lovely shemozzle of some in one location and some in another with no clean way of sorting them out.
If you launch iPhoto with the external HD disconnected, it will create a library in the default position. A simple habit to get into is to hold down the option key when launching iPhoto and forcing yourself to choose the library each time, especially if you occasionally launch the app with the HD not available. Works for iTunes too.
As for all the rest there is nothing flagging whether a particular file has or hasn't been copied, or is merely linked,
There's nothing to flag. This is a one time decision. Either you want to Copy the Files to the iPhoto Library Folder or you don't. If you do, leave iPhoto in it's default settings, otherwise change the option at Preferences -> Advanced.
or you are dealing with an edited copy, or there is no edited copy and that is it.
The iPhoto Window always shows you the most recent version of the pic. If you can't recall whether you've previously edited it, simply right-click on it. If Revert To Original is available, it's been previously edited. If not, it hasn't. (Or a quick glance at the View menu will tell you the same thing.)
It is a mess which you are supposed to leave as an all or nothing or take extensive notes in a notebook attached to your monitor and consult before you do anything drastic.
I have 35 gigs of pics and no notebook. Of course, iPhoto is not for everybody. Many people prefer a simple image viewer as opposed to a Photo Organiser.
I can get my head around iTunes (even when it makes repeated linking errors) but iPhoto is a black cat tied up in a sack in a locked trunk in the bottom of the basement with the bulb burned out.
You do realise that both apps are databases, and like any database they require that you manipulate the data from within the app rather than through the finder. The good news is that pretty much anything you need to do can be achieved from within the apps. There's a very helpful community over at the iPhoto discussions.

Frustrated with iCal 3--please fix the obvious bugs!

I read that Apple actually looks at these posts, otherwise I would suffer in silence. So here goes...
After adopting iCal for all of my calendar needs and being able to rely on version 2 to work, I upgraded to Leopard and iCal 3. Now, I am frustrated with obvious bugs and very worried about the integrity of my calendar data (which is EXTREMELY important).
Some things that do not work or seem to work sporadically in iCal 3:
1. Delete events/to-do's after n days. Nothing. And why is this option applied globally rather than to specific calendars?
2. Publish calendars upon modification. Usually works; sometimes quits for no apparent reason.
3. Reliable syncing (OK, maybe this is an iSync problem).
Other frustrations:
1. Very slow operation. Slow to create event, slow to edit event, slow to even change from month to month.
2. Very slow or even crashes when I double-click on an event.
3. I seem to need to double-click after I enter an event to fill in all the info I want.
4. No easy way to archive (and restore) old events.
Please, Apple, do not lose your focus on software excellence, as you pursue lucrative new markets! Your recent software releases (like iCal, iSync, AirDisk, TimeMachine, etc.) are beginning to remind me of, gasp, Microsoft. They almost work.
Excuse me for venting on this forum.

I have all of the same issues Jeff. What gives?? This needs immediate fix.

Can i know exactly how far from the rim of the screen is the back light located

i had a smmal problem so any one who knows please answer

Really don't understand your question. What RIM and what backlight. The screen is lite by LEDs directly behind the LCD pixels.
What is your problem exactly?

HT4623 My iPhone will no longer connect to the internet or download my mail from iCloud. The software is OS6 and I have plenty of storage space on the phone and iCloud. I have checked all the obvious stuff in settings and can't resolve the issue.

Since late September my emails stopped arriving on my iPhone. Access to the internet via Safari now only ends in a message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding" I don't recall changing any settings and have checked the settings many times to try to figure out whats happening but without success. Ideas anyone?
Thanks

This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
