Story about texting problems on abc nat'l news

sprint is having issues with texting, messages not being sent, duplicates, errors of not sending, so if some of the texting you're having problems with is from sprint customers, this may be why.

I'm sort of curious about this. While I have seen a
number of posts with people having this problem (this
thread for example)... I would expect to see quite a
few more if everyone was having trouble. I haven't
had any trouble using 802.11g and WPA. I'm curious
if it's a problem with specific wireless routers.
The chipsets for just about all the wireless routers
out there are made by only a handful of companies.
For those of you experiencing the problem, would
you be able to post the brand and model of your
wireless router? I ask for the model as well
because sometimes manufacturers will use different
chipsets for different models. I'd like to see if
we can narrow this down to just one or two chipset
manufacturers (preferably just one).
Well seeing that all the problems are with the new C2D macbooks and not the CD macbooks i'm guessing it has to do with the wireless chip in the C2D. According to the rumor sites (thinksecret.com and macrumors.com) the C2D macbooks have a wireless N chip in them. So I am beginning to think that the problem is with these chips. Hopefully at macworld we will see a new airport extreme that is wireless N capable and the driver available for the chip in the C2D's to become wireless N capable. Then maybe all the problems will be gone.
However i'm and just guessing here

  • Texting problem. Glitch with the new iOS 6.1 update

    I just previously updated my iPhone 4S to the new iOS 6.1 and now when I open my texting app it is just blank. I can receive text messages but there is not way for me to send any. I have a verison network so I don't know. I have called the support line and went through so many steps to try and solve this problem but no one has a clue what's wrong. I'm pretty sure is a bug or glitch in the new update.

    Start with something easy and see if it helps.
    Quit the Photos app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My story about the Blackberry 9320

    My story about the  Blackberry 9320....
    I have asked question's about buying a Blackberry for my Mom/Me for personal use from a few people and all very knowable in the IT world, and from one i know who uses a Blackberry as well manage there enterprise. All said it's too much phone to buy for you Mom.....
    But as it would have it Mom really needed a new phone and when i saw the 9320 on sale i ask her to have a look at the phone and let me know what you think of it. She did... and just loved  phone...the feel..the size..key board..even the white colour.
    So the following day i went and bought the white 9320 for her, and really thought i had a  challenge on my hands to teach a 76 year old to use the phone. Boy was i and every one i talked wrong about the 9320 being too much phone for her to use.
    First off she was very happy to get this Blackberry, and secondly the setup was as easy as easy can get. We logged in to Virgin Account setting applied the new information and with in 5 minis it was updated and live.
    Then came the part to show her how to text and use the phone, and in less then an 30 minutes she had the basics and was texting and calling with easy. I wanted to show her more about the use of what it can do and was told, no i want to figure it out myself so i can learn and remember. But Mom's it's a lot of phone and if you get frustrated you may not be too happy. And the answer i got was that's ok i can figure thing's out on my own, and that way i can learn.
    With in a few days my 76 year old Mom figured out own her how to do just about anything wanted to do with the 9320, contact's, calendar, texting, bed side clock, tasks, making appointment's attaching photo's to texting, using the documents to go and more all on her.
    I was so impressed by how easy and comfortable she felt with the phone i went and bought one for myself.
    We both have had a phone before Christmas and tho it was a learning Curve (lol no pun in tended) in the being we both feel very comfortable use it.
    This is a great little phone and thought i would sharing this story from these two very happy user's.

    I have a hard time understanding why I can't contact support about THEIR problem. I plugged my iPhone into my pc. iTunes came up. It said there was an update available for the phone. I accepted that. Clicked on the "download only" because I didn't have the time to install it at that point. It downloaded but didn't stop. It continued to the 'backing up your iPhone' segment then froze. I waited at least an hour with no change. Finally I unplugged my phone..iTunes wasn't responding.I rebooted my pc then tried the same thing again. Same outcome even though I let it "Back Up" for 7-8 hrs while I slept. Same Story...............         iTunes 10.4.0.80 is the software I'm using. When my phone is 'plugged' in what I see on it's face is "Sync in Progress".....for hours!

  • Contacts error: The Operation could not be completed. No other information is available about the problem.

    I get about one or two of these error messages, from Contacts each day: "The Operation could not be completed. No other information is available about the problem." It seemed to start after I deleted some of what appeared to me to be the duplicate cards between "On My Mac" and iCloud. I have Contacts version 9.0 in OS X 10.10 Yosemite on a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011). Anyone else seen this error?

    Thanks!  I looked at the Busycal post:
              To fix this, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy, select Contacts in the left sidebar, then check BusyCal.app.
    On my system, only Skype, Parallels, and Contacts Cleaner are enabled to access contacts.
    FYI, LinkedIn doesn't list any apps as having asked for, or been given access.
              If that doesn't work, here is a bigger hammer:
    OK
              1) Launch Terminal in /Applications/Utilities.
              2) Paste the following text and hit return:
                   tccutil reset AddressBook     
    First, I want to see what that does so I ran man tccutil
         NAME
              tccutil -- manage the privacy database
         SYNOPSIS
              tccutil command service
         DESCRIPTION
              The tccutil command manages the privacy database, which stores decisions the
              user has made about whether apps may access personal data.
              One command is current supported:
              reset    Reset all decisions for the specified service, causing apps to prompt
                       again the next time they access the service.
         EXAMPLES
              To reset all decisions about whether apps may access the address book:
                    tccutil reset AddressBook
              3) Quit Terminal.
              4) Launch BusyCal, and click OK when asked whether to allow access to your contacts.
    Now I see under System Preferences->Security&Privacy->Privacy->Contacts that all apps were removed from the list.
    I haven't had BusyCal in years so I just launched Calendar and Contacts.
    Unfortunately, as soon as I launch Contacts, I get the pop-up again about the LinkedIn

  • A ridiculous story about Sony services in Israel

    Good day.
    I've bought xpereia Z 2 on 28.09.2014 in the KSP market. SO from the first day of using it i've found out that people do not hear me. After chating with support team, i tried to reset tepelephone, but nothing helped. I went to store and asked to change it, they told that it was impossible and told me to repair it due to warranty list (i have 2 year warranty with taking and returning telephone from my place)
    Here goes the interesting part.   I called due to warranty and got a wonderful answer: "no problem to repair, but i have to bring it" .; When i came to the department (on october 5 2014 AD) they pushed me to buy more warranty from them (screen change), i told that i'll think about that proposition. They took the telephone, copied the warranty list  and told me that it (would will itself like a newborn) be ready to use in 48 hours.
    On the next day (7 of october 2014) they called to me and told:"the telephone will be ready in time, the repair will cost about 200  new shekels, how would you like to pay?" I asked:"why should I? i'ts on the warranty and i've bought it broken." They agreed to repair it for free. 
    The very next day (8.10.2014), when i was supposing to take that wonderful telephone repaired, a man called from and asked to resend the copy af the warranty once again, cause he could't find the copy he made almost 48 hours before. The copy was fotografed by tablet and sent to his email. It was very suddenly for me to hear such a good news 3 hours before i wanted to get repaired telephone. The man also told me that the telephone would be ready on 12.10.2014 and not before. 
    On 12.10.2014 no one even called me to inform about telefhone status. 
    On 13.10.2014 i called that company, they told that the telephone would be ready 19.10.2014 (cause they send request to company to get a new part for repair and it was strange for me , as i wrote before they could repair it in no time for 200 new israel sheqels). I was a little bit sad and called to some sweden department, but because of my english speaking was redirected to UK department. I decribed all the situation to representative and ask for help, advice or (at least) a phone number of someone in that huge and wonderful company named "Sony" who could help me, who could maybe influence on israel department, or just do some work to help customer in such a hard day. A representative told me that she didn't know the instruments or even a man of such a great influence, and adviced me to talk once again with israel representative. (i couldn't do it because of holifays in country).
    The same day i called to the KSP market support team, described to them my situation, and asked to change the telephone for a new one, because i was afraid not to get repaired one in time. They told that they will try. 
    On th 16.10.2014 I've got a call from KSP and i was insured that i'll get a change ' and the representative will call me on 19-21 of october this year.
    On 22.10.2014 i called to ksp just to ask "what's up? where is that verybestcool telephone?" They told:"it is very strange that u didn't get it yet, we"ll find out" After they "found out" i called to company which took it for repairwork, they told me that i canceled the repair and in the light of this story i should talk with KSP market. Very that day KSP representative insured me that the telephone will be send to me on the evening 22.10.2014 and if it will not, to call to Sony representative on 23.10.2014.
    Today 24 of october 2014 year due to julian calendar. I called to Sony representative in Israel they told me that they will not change me the telephone, it is the problem of KSP company, my old broken one is stil on the verification after repair and maybe they will call me back on 26.10.2014. I called to KSP they told me that they will call me back when they will find out what's happening.
    My costs - about 10 hours of my life, nerves, gas, 950 usd for phone, and don't know even how much i'll pay for international calls.
    WHat do i have now? minus 950usd in my bank account', no new telephone, i quarreled with many different good people by phone.
    The question is where is my new phone or my old money? 
    My next steps (after emailing)  i suppose i will not get no telephone on 26.10.2014, so i'll will do the stream on PSN (yes i have an account there), Facebook writing, thinking about calling to the radiostations.

    so, here is the end of the story.
    about 3 days i tried to talk to 3 companys (1 sony supporter company, 1 their logistic, 1 market) to find out where was my phone.
    Nobody could give such an answer.
    Then i was driving by that place where i gave the phone for  repair. So i came to that company, and guess what?
    the telephone was waiting for me from 23 of october. A new telephone, it was changed, and nobody told me to come.
    So the case is closed, and still it is a magik for me to anderstand how sony does work in Israel? 
    About psn i am not talking, cause it is awful

  • Weird texting problem

    I have a Z1s running 5.0.2 and I'm not a big texter.  I'm using the stock apps for texting and contacts.  I was trying to send a text to someone I had never texted before.  I brought up their contact page and pressed the little text icon and I got a texting screen except that it was covered by a menu that had options like 'add video', 'add picture' and a bunch of others that prevented me from actually being able to text.  The options did nothing and the back arrow also did nothing, so I was prevented from composing and sending a text.  I sent the text I needed to from my desktop using mighty text.  When I received a reply, I was prevented from reading it by the same menu which still did nothing.  That was yesterday.  Today, the menu was gone and I could read the return text.  For a while though, I was prevented from reading any other text I had received.  I would press on one and the first one I looked at came up instead.  Then that went away after a while and things seemed to have returned to 'normal'. I really don't understand what is going on with my phone.  I like the phone and I love the battery life, but this bit of weirdness and the fact that some apps that worked just fine on my N4, don't seem to work at all on the Z1s.  I have an app named Move that counts your steps during your day.  It worked just fine on my N4, but on the Z1s it's only counting maybe 1-3% of my steps.  It says I walked 89 steps yesterday and that is absurd.  I assume that the app uses the accellerometer to do its work.  I have another app that uses the gps for tracking and it's not registering anything even though the gps seems to be functioning.  And the phone doesn't have as good a connection during calls as my N4.  I get a lot of static and breaking up during calls that I never got on my N4.  99% of my calls are made and received at my home, so that is what I'm comparing.   Anyone have any clues as to what is going on here?  The update to lollipop was done through the pc connection.  Any additional updates have been done OTA.  I haven't rebooted in a while and I think I'll try that first. TIALT

    The texting problem has gone away for a while, so I can't take a screen shot.  I loaded the suggested messaging and google fit.  I don't like changing apps if what I had worked under lollipop on my N4 and now that I have the Z1s also running lollipop they don't.  It seems to me that Sony must have something to do with this problem.  Either the hardware or the software (os) is significantly different (inferior).  The gps tracking app I'm using is called Bubbler.  I tested it today and it only registered my location a handful of times instead of the every 5 or 10 minutes like it's supposed to.  To me this indicates that the gps is not functioning properly. The phone and the sim card are about a month old and it came as a micro sim. I don't mean to be a whiner, I'm just confused and disappointed that things are not functioning as I expected.  And on top of all that, the call quality is less than stellar. SorryLT

    Wes: I purchased a Behringer mic200, which is a low priced tube preamp with +48v phantom power for a condenser mic. I have been very happy with the results and features. I know that A.R.T. also makes a good one. Only problem for you is that these preamps are powered via a wall wart. Set up is via the audio input jack as opposed to usb.

  • TS3212 Why can't I find a help # to call about my problem "iTunes has stopped working"

    "iTunes has stopped working"
    Acer  system, Windows 8, trying to download iTunes for Windows 8.  Partial loads but at @ 75% stops. Worked with prior version of Windows transferred over.
    Full message: "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    Troubleshooter didn't help, removing and down loading iTunes for Windows 8 did not work. same message each time.
    Windows message says its an "incompatible program."
    How do I get this to load correctly?  AND HOW IN THE WORLD CAN I TALK TO SUPPORT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE SPENT 1/2 DAY TRYING

    Apple don't provide free telephone support for iTunes.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Firefox 4 Beta crashes everytime I open it. Then I'm forced to close the program and it won't let me restart it since it says it's already running. Which isn't true. I'm done trying it. Do you guys know about this problem?

    Everytime I start Firefox 4 beta it crashes. I usually can visit one site on the web (doesn't matter what site) and then it locks up. The only thing that works on the browser then is the close button. After clicking the close button I'll try to restart the browser and I'll get an error message saying it can't open Firefox because it's already open. Which is a bunch of BS. The only I can get Firefox started again is to restart my computer. This is so frustrating that I've given up trying. Hopefully you guys know about this bug and can do something about it. I wasn't trying to post a question here I just wanted to make sure you guys heard about this problem.

    yeah it is the gayest thing that happens :S what i do is turn off the internet, then open it, then turn on internet, then use it. :S OR make your homepage a tab.

    Hi
    And without info - it's near to impossibly to help. Try my general troubleshooting note:
    Troubleshooting note
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    Creating a new User-Account and log into this
    This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
    Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
    version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
    Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
    iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
    This You do by
    First -  close iPhoto
    Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    Thirdly - now select all five options presented
    THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
    free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    Screen must be set to million-colors
    Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it
