Software perhaps

Hi
my blackberry 9300 is acting up.
i've cheacked my charger and battery but it just wont go on. the LED light keeps flashing but nothing more. urgent help needed. any advice?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
Good luck and let us know!

Can any Apple software allow me to edit AVHDC (H264) natively ?

I can import AVHDC (H264) in to iMovie 08, then make changes, edits etc, but when I try to publish at 1080i or any of the hi def formats available to choose from the options list the iMac reports that 6 minutes of footage will take 100 minutes to export !!
I am doing something wrong ? I can share at 960x 540 easily enough from the share > Export movie menu, but on my TV this drop in resolution is noticeable.
Is there any Apple software (perhaps FCE) that will allow me to work directly with the AVHDC video and then export the edit file without loss of quality ?

Well, that did not work. I had my project export to quicktime at full res 1440x1080. It took a while but it worked. It played very well on the iMac.
However when I took the resulting.MOV file to my PS3 it would not even see the file.
This despite the fact that the codec is used is playable by the PS3 (i used H264).
iMovie only seems to allow export to .MOV at these high resolutions.
I think I have three possible answers;
1) buy Apple TV and play the full res 1440x1080 .MOV file on that.
2) buy a mac mini just to play these files
3) find some software that will convert the .MOV to another format that the PS3 can work with.
Can you see any fault in my logic ? will the Apple TV device play the full re .MOV file ?
Do i need to go to xetreme of a mini for this application.

Can't get Desktop software to show on PC :(

Hi - I've just "upgraded" my previous BB from the older wide style to the 7130v and am now trying to setup the Desktop software so I can transfer some ringtones to it. I downloaded the file from the phone supplier's site (Vodafone) and it seemed to run okay but all it did ultimately was to setup the software on the phone itself - I never got any icon or folder on my PC to run the desktop component. There were a load of other files that were of various versions, but no info on which one I should be downloading, so I'm presuming I need one of them but no idea which. Site is at: Blackberry Vodafone: https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=1141938BA2C2B13F5505D7C424EBAE5F
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the right software perhaps? Thanks.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

That's my problem - it's not showing up in the Programs nor in the folder I installed it from, which is why I'm stumped as to how to get it show itself! Really frustrating. Even in the D&S/Application Data folder it only has a couple of entries for Loader history but no actual Loader in there either It never actually asked me where I wanted to install the program anyway, if memory serves me right, just went ahead and started connecting to the phone and updating the software, which is why I'm assuming it's the wrong program perhaps?

Software update memory leak

Hey Folks,
I've been a happy OSX user for the past 3 years. I've upgraded several times and computers are definitely not "new" to me.
For the first time I've encountered a pretty signifiant problem from the upgrade process.
I initiated the upgrade last Thursday morning (11/20). It completed with zero errors and rebooted.
Since then, the memory footprint of the process softwareupdated will grow without bounds.Over 4-6 hours it will grow to consume all available memory (16GB) and force a reboot/error-reboot.
While running the process will spawn multiple children processes "softwareupdate", each occupying 1.1 - 1.3 MB RAM.
I also installed the 10.10.1 update yesterday, which appeared to have fixed the problem. However today I'm back to rapidly growing softwareupdated process
Additionally the softwareupdated process utilizes 75% - 110% CPU (from the Activity Monitor app).
Working with Apple support I've reset the SMC, PRAM and verified / fixed permissions on the OS drive.
I don't see many hits from several different searches (these forums, google, etc.).

It seems strange that I would not have heard of this issue and at least two people at your work have the same problem. Does your employer require some kind of antivirus or other 3rd party software perhaps?
Agreed. I'm preparing for a fresh Yosemite install over the Thanksgiving holiday this week. Based on my review of the originally loaded company tools, it looks like there are several that are no longer supported in Yosemite. I've been performing upgrades since Snow Leppard. Probably a good time for a fresh load regardless.

When I turn my computer on (Windows 7) I receive a message that Apple wants to make a change to the hardware. I click on yes but nothing happens. The change has something to do with Apple "push". I recently had a problem with"push" on iTunes when I tried to sync my iPod Touch. I have latest software for iTunes and iPod. Can anyone tell me what to do to get this change to install?

Since hardware cannot be changed with software, perhaps you would be so kind as to post the exact wording of the message?

Can't download iOS 5 to my old iPhone 4 - I get an error message saying I don't have enough space on my computer, but I know that I do. How can upload successfully? Or can I hook up an external hard drive to ENSURE I have enough space? If so, how?

I just tried to download the new iOS 5 software during my sync with iTunes on my computer to my iPhone 4, however, I got an error message saying that I did not have enough space on my computer to continue (even though I am pretty sure I do). It offered me the choice of deleting much of the media on my iPhone in order to continue, which of course I declined.
How can I ensure that I have enough space on my computer to download the new iOS 5 software? I don't want to delete anything on my computer and I have already defragged. Can I just hook up an external hard drive which I am certain has enough space? If so, how can I ensure that iTunes recognizes the external hard drive as the drive that it should be downloading the software to?
Thanks

Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

I have two separate iTunes libraries on two separate Computers. I need to consolidate them so I can play them on a brand new computer. How do I do this so I can play them off an External Hard Drive on my brand new computer?

Apple Mail: Not Responding

When I open my Mail program over the last few days it does nothing - does not even show the Mail Message Window. I have to Force Quit (message says Mail Not Responding). This happens over and over again. I used Disk Utility to check preferences and repaired all (not much there and nothing relating to Mail). Still won't work. In general Apple Mail has not been working well for awhile that along with MobileMe... delivering multiple emails of the same message and loosing Sent messages. What is happening to this program? Do I have to use Microsoft Office to find a dependable eMail Client software? As it stands I have started using Office on our other computers just so we can receive our email and not worry about loosing or storing Sent and Received Mail.
I am running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 on my workstation. I have Snow Leopard ready to install but was waiting to complete time critical work before installing new system software - perhaps that will be the answer to the problem(?). Anyone having this problem and if so - have you found a solution?
Note: I do receive mail on my iPhone and on iPad thankfully using Apple's Mail program but those are mobile devices - we require dependable email to run our business on our desktops.

Mail in Leopard should not have such problems. Disk Utility repairs permissions, not preferences. I'm assuming your only e-mail account is with Mobileme?

How can i back up my wifes iPhone 3GS with my iTunes ?

I'm having problems trying to backup my wifes iPhone......
Basically, she has been using a 3GS that was my sons some years ago.....but now that my Daughter has upgraded, we have an iPhone 4 that she can start using instead.
However, when I connect to my iTunes, although it can see the 3GS, it doesnt give me any option to 'Backup', - which it did recently when I did the same exercise for my Daughters 'upgrade' and change of phone. (4 - 4S)
My iTunes is only giving me the options to 'set up as a new iPhone', or Restore from the Backups of either mine or my daughter's phones.
Is this to do with the software perhaps ? Or does iTunes limit the number of handsets it will 'sync/backup' with ?
Any ideas/advice gratefully received......
Many thx .
Chris

Select setup as "New", the next screen should prompt you to rename your phone. Just name it what you already have it named. After that, you should be able to sync/backup and all of your data & settings will still be exactly as you've already set them up on your phone. That message is more threatening than what really happens.

IMac G4 Flat Panel 1Ghz - 1 beep when turning it on.

I have an iMac G4 Flat Panel 1Ghz that beeps once when you turn it on. After doing some research, I learned the 1 beep could be no RAM or RAM problem. I replaced both the internal RAM and the easily accessible RAM with RAM from a reputable dealer that markets this RAM just for iMac G4s. I still get one beep after startup. I tried taking one stick out and all variations of using the old and new RAM with no difference. I did more research that maybe it was the power supply. By the way, originally this iMac was shocked through its Ethernet port with lightning. I since bought a new motherboard, new RAM as stated, and now also the power supply. After putting it all together, I still get one beep at startup. I have reset the PMU also. Also added a new battery. Looking forward to your suggestions.

There may be some indication of the beep's cause after some thorough
testing of the computer with some utility software; perhaps even the basic
Apple Hardware Test which would have accompanied the computer when
new could be helpful to some degree, if the machine were run in that, in a
long continuous loop to see if at some point, it may generate some codes.
However, the startup sequence itself is where such a hopeful bit of information
would more likely be generated; and this is the kicker, in that some of the info
at start-up is too early in the beginning of the run-cycle to be recorded or read.
But, you may find evidence of the issue in the Console error message reports
in that utility; and there are a few different sub-titles of places in Console to look.
Also, you may be able to find some error or crash messages, or other runtime
messages and glitches, in the System Profiler> Software> progression path.
There may be another source of the single-beep on startup tone. Not sure of
any other, though; since the Power-on self-test is generally what checks out
those computers on start-up. And the 'single beep' suggests there is a RAM
issue, as this Beep would replace the normal startup chime.
So, that early in the startup, and without a booted system, the error logs or
crash and failure reports would not be generated to be read later.
Is the computer you have really a 20" LCD and does it truly have a 1GHz
CPU? Or, does it have a 1.25GHz PPC processor, as it should? Did the
company you obtained the replacement logic board from, have anything
to say about the kinds of issues you've noted the computer displaying?
There may have been a limited duration warranty on the rebuilt board.
There have been a few of the old iMac G4 17" & 20" 1.25GHz models
generating an odd, single 'buzz' sound after the normal startup tone.
Is your's making a 'single beep' or a 'buzz' sometime after booting?
Do you have any other RAM chips of correct supported version to
replace one or both RAM slots, of reliable quality product? How was
the OS installed into the computer, or have you been unable to do so?
Once in a great while, new correct RAM could be bad on arrival. Rare.
{This is a lot like chasing gremlins or setting a trapline for gnomes.}
Maybe someone, such as the contributor alias 'spudnutty' may know of
some other factor in this matter that he has found, that may cause that.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have never updated ios on my iPhone 4. I am currently running ios 4. I tried to update yesterday to ios 6 but many hours into the backup I got an error message saying that continuing would cause all of my phone contents to be lost. What should I do?

In preferences does not exist "composite" or "S-Video"

Hi,
In my Quick Time Player "preferences" does not exist option "Composite" or "S-Video" only FaceTime camera.
So i cant record my video from other devices.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you very much.

QuickTime Player to my knowledge does not have the capacity to capture from external video inputs, nor does any Mac have composite nor S-video inputs built in. You'll need a video capture device and appropriate software, perhaps iMovie if the video capture device doesn't come with software, to capture from such a video source.
Regards.

Macbook Air suffering loud fan, extremely slow

Hi,
I'm using a MBA Mid 2013 (warranty ended by June 31), and below is my story (verry sorry if it's long and waste your time).
By the third week of June, my MBA got a problem with the sound. Since it's still in warranty duration, so i took it to an Apple authorized service center in my place. They kept it for a week, and after that, my MBA's sound problem gone. But:
Actually, I made some quick tests in that center, and everything seems normal. So that, i closed my MBA and left the center.
When i got home, i opened my MBA to retouch some photos, but the MBA is extremely slow (opening a photo in Preview took around 1 min), and the fan went crazily loud.
I opened the Activity Monitor. Surprisingly, there's a process named kernel_task was taking ~300% of the CPU, thousands of the CPU time.
I did some research in the community, and found a solution: "Reset SMC". I tried that solution and magically, the problem has gone. So that, i thought it was just a software problem, instead of a hardware one.
The warranty expired...
The first half of July:
Everything seems OK and my MBA is stable.
The previous week:
The kernel_task error seems back. At first, i repeated the SMC reset solution and it still worked. But few times later, that solution turned useless.
Although my Mac was still usable, but during the kernel_task error, it's very slow that i could not do anything. Sometime, the kernel_task automatically turned normal (and my Mac is fast again).
At that time, i tried a list of other solutions and found something:
- Reset PRAM: The key combination was very hard to be succeed. Mostly, my MAC normally boot to the OS.
- Safe mode: Same.
- Recovery: Same.
- Apple Hardware Test: Same. But, in a success one, the result said that there is a problem with my thunderbolt (When i check in the System Information, the thunderbolt part said that No Hardware Found...??).
So, I guess that there's few problem with the OS.
So that, in the previous weekend, i tried to re-install the OS (Maverick). My Mac seems normal again.
But today, after a sleep - wake cycle (close, and open the Mac screen), the kernel_task disaster was back.
In this evening, i tried to re-install the OS once again, with a different installation. But... the problem seems more serious.
When i booted by a usb to install OS, the fan still loud and my mac still slow, which lead to the OS install could not be completed (stuck at 13%). And now, i almost cannot even choose the Startup Disk. Although i pushed and pressed the option key, my Mac will automatically boot to the Utilities for restoring the OS (because i formated that Mac partition).
Now, i'm very disappointed and confused. My mac is slow and the fan is loud anytime, i cannot install the OS. A software (perhaps?) error now turns to a hardware (perhaps?) error?
Could someone please tell me what is that error, and is there anyway to fix it?
Thank you in advance!

Well, when you use a secondary display you are making the graphics processor work harder. That would explain the fan noises. Also, be aware of where you place the comptuer. Try not to block the back so it can vent and not place it near other warm devices.

How do I save/burn photos with their intended orientation

When I upload photos they display with the proper orientation ie: landscape or portrait. When I burn photos or load them to a web site they all transfer in landscape format. I am using a canon program to upload and it is supposed to auto orient the images. Is the Mac by passing this? Is there a simple setting I need to change?
I am new to Mac and I find this very frustrating as my customers will not be happy having to look at hundreds of photographs sideways. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You may have to use an image editor software for either singular or batch correction of the rotation, where you would 'save' or 'save as' to assure a corrected file reflecting this rotational change is permanently retained.
Some time ago, I refused to further use camera maker image editing software; perhaps as long ago as Jag 10.2. There were other options in OS 9.2.2 & Before, which worked wonderfully and still do.
For OS X minor edits, I've used a third-party freeware and the author has made several revisions available, I've found it helpful, yet have barely used only a small fraction of the tools I see built in.
•ToyViewer for OS X: (freeware)
http://homepage.mac.com/t_ogihara/software/OSX/toyv-eng.html
There are other image editors, to include the OS X's own Preview app; perhaps it may be adequate. In some older Preview versions, the rotation tool failed to function, so that enforced my idea of using ToyViewer. Retail image editors and upscale software offer more detailed control over images, or similar controls, at a price.
With the idea of minimalistic and realistic photography, I've never had a desire to photoshop anything... One could take a terrible 'image capture' and after hours at a workstation, create a masterpiece of fiction. My background is in film photography and natural outdoor environments.
The ability to do batch corrections, to say, rotate all images -90° dropped into a folder, could be done in several ways; some may include creating a script, or finding one another user has made, & apply it.
While I have a Lumix/Panasonic camera and a Nikon DSLR, I've not used either of the makers offered software to edit or manipulate images I've captured with these cameras; and prefer to attempt to most accurately or satisfactorily get the correct image at the 'time of exposure' which means I only rotate the incorrectly saved horizontals to a vertical format, with software after downloading. And no other edits.
With a long film-related photography background, nice vintage equipment and a small collection, I have doubts about digital in several capacities; however convenient and hazard-free digital imagery is in the home or office environment. The fun and alchemy is missing, and so can the honesty in the resulting product.
Good luck and happy computing!

USB Detection Prob

Hello everyone. I am having a USB problem with my Inspiron 00 with Windows XP. It will not Detect my Creative Zen Micro. At first, everything was fine. Problem started when I upgraded from Windows media Player 0 to . When I "Rolled Back" to WMP 0, would no longer Detect My Zen micro. I have tried these Methods so far:
...Downloaded latest XP updates
2...Downloaded latest Creative Drivers thru hardware update wizard
3... Tried to Uninstall the ZEN in Device Manager. (Will not Uninstall)
4... Tried other devices in USB ports. Ports work fine
Any suggestions?

I also have a Creative Zen Nano Plus, and I had all the player recognition problems that everyone else has complained about. I tried all the recommendations (different USB port, going back to old firmware - not easy to do by the way, downloading hot fixes, etc.), but the one thing that finally got everything to work was I uninstalled IomegaWare software for my Zip dri've. I hardly use anyone, so that wasn't a big loss. By the way, I had to do more than just uninstall the software. There were still IomegaWare files left on my hard dri've and entries in the registry that I had to remove before everything started working fine.
If you have IomegaWare, I recommend removing it. If you don't, look for some other removable USB-based device that loaded special software, perhaps a camera? Good Luck!!!
