As well as this whenever I go into iPhoto and edit my images the image distorts or goes blank. Why is this?

Have no idea what you're referring to. How does that relate to iPhoto?
whenever I go into iPhoto and edit my images the image distorts or goes blank. Why is this?
With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see in the iPhoto window when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

The vibrate symbol that appears on screen when turning vibrate on, continually appears on my screen and vibrates all day. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?

Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
Let us know how you get on.

Key symbols that appear as shortcuts?

Is there any reference source to that have simple descriptions of which keyboard key corresponds to which symbol for keys that appear as menu item shortcuts? I wanted to know what key corresponds to the third of the key combo that invokes the Force Quit command in the Apple menu (see below). The help function in Finder was useless and the manuals available for OSX versions from the Apple support site were even worse ... they only had links referring to manuals for apps!
After much wandering around and wasted time, I finally stumbled across a question in this forum that incidentally gave the needed info ... its the escape key. Who would have thunk it?!
In general of late, I have found the Help functions in OSX to be decreasing helpful. Has anyone else this experience? I find that I need to come to this discussion forum to get any useful assistance.

baltwo --
First, thank you. This was both the most concise and the most relevant of the responses I received. Only one point to pursue further. It is the means/path to access this information in which I am most interested. (In fact I had already found out the meaning of the mysterious symbol - i.e. for 'esc' - by the time I received your message.)
But because your reply was a screen shot with precisely the information that I was seeking and not able to find in "Help", I wish to know how you discovered it? Are you willing to share your 'secret'?
Cheers -- Norman

I have a symbol that has appeared on my iphone 4s top right just left off the bluetooth sign, it's an arrow on a circle with a padlock in the middle any idea where it came from and what it is

i have a symbol that has appeared on my iphone 4s top right just left off the bluetooth sign, it's an arrow on a circle with a padlock in the middle any idea where it came from and what it is

That's the portrait orientation lock (keeps the screen from rotating to landscape mode). To turn it off, double-tap the home button, swipe the list at the bottom to the right, then tap the left-most icon (to the left of the music controls).

I have a thick grey bar that has suddenly appeared at the top of my viewing screen below the navigation bar. it has a symbol that looks like the add-on tool

The symbol in the middle of the bar is a box with an arrow in it and two small round cylinders on top.
If I right click on the bar and inspect element it returns object#SCB_Bar Then if I copy inner HTML element it gives me this info.

Something that appears on all pages could be a feature of an add-on. You could review your extensions and disable ALL nonessential ones here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
Take nothing for granted because rogue add-ons may use the names of other publishers and products, including Mozilla and Firefox.

What happened to the "lock" symbol that used to appear when on a secure site? I haven't seen it since the last update, so it's either moved or you took it out. I really miss it!

It's stuck on a yellow question marked "multimedia audio controller." It doesn't like the CD drivers or the drivers snarfed from the aborted "you don't have an sb controller installed" pull from windows\temp\CF whatever it was. It's 3am and I've been trying to get this stupid thing running for 7 hours now. I'm going to bed. I will see if it is any smarter tomorrow morning.
It was running great until I did an "update from the web." If I hadn't have done that I'd have no complaints. Now it's hosed and I can't even get back to where I was before. I'm not impressed with creative's installation procedure.
However, there are many people complaining about the "you don't have an SB installed" problem. Creative needs a "delete everything" button, and an "install all new drivers" button. Take a page out of ATI's book in the number of headaches created by windows installer and come up with a way to fix them yourself. ATI did. This would at least get me back to the BSOD, which right now I'm longing for.
This is on a shuttle st6g4 with a disable ac97 sound nonsense with those drivers removed.

Since you have Lion v10.7.4 installed, use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.

Nokia 1520 shortcomings and lack of proper support

I have been given a Nokia 1520 as a gift (after i had suggested i liked it). I have owned it for 3 weeks roughly and it's been a total saddening experience. Amongst the countless issues i am meeting are:
- The infamous oversensitive display issue. Can't type any sms or email straigth without having multiple characters repeated over and over. This also means that while i try to scroll the screen i happen to open unwanted apps or unwanted links in the browser or in newsreaders. Also, trying to select a tile to resize/unpin it, it most often results in opening it countless times before i actually manage to unpin.
- Lack of a keyboard allowing me to input Traditional Chinese with Pinyin (It was requested in 2011, ie 3 years ago).
- Timed stroke writing for chinese characters means that if you are too slow (as most westerners writing chinese are) you can't even write characters (maximum timing is 0,8 secs).
- Lack of any form of quick input like swiping or so. Multiple issues also at downloading languages for the keyboard. A nightmare.
- The OS won't allow users to select single words or place the cursor in a specific position inside a word. This can be done in some places but not everywhere.
- Bing Translator honestly sucks and there is a huge shortage of dictionaries and language related resources in the market (nothing comparable to Pleco or Hanping
- Lack of a decent notification bar and a LED telling people they got mail or messages or calls when the phone is muted. This caused me to lose two important jobs.
- Very poor/shaky reception for the phone and Internet. Where my Galaxy Note 2 works full broadband, the Nokia connection goes up and down or is none at all.
- I took the device to Nokia Support Centre in Taipei and the person in charge was a kid who not only didn't know anything about the, now well known, issues of the device but he also got very arrogant, talking carelessly and with a very bad attitude and claiming "people shouldn't buy phones without being able to use them" and "if you tried it before why you complain now?". Tested the phone for 2 seconds and he decided it had no issues, so apparently no chances to have the phone sent for a repair/substitution.
Is this the path Nokia and Microsoft are taking with Windows Phone?
I am so disappointed that i am considering reselling the thing and going back from where i came from, IE Android.
It's a shame Nokia hasn't learned how to treat users yet. I am particularly disappointed at the defective device and at the attitude of the part time, lazy, sleepy teenagers they use in Taipei to cover the service making customers run (or worse since some of those guys really push your patience far above the limits, maybe they don't like foreigners or they are scared at speaking English, whatever it is, it's very uneasy and unpleasant). I have never seen such a bad service for a such a malfunctioning device in my life. I have owned maybe 20 or more devices to date (including old Windows Phones) and never had so many negative experiences piled up all together at the same time
I just wish i had been given a device with some other OS rather than a device with a Beta version of an OS supported by part time staff.

This would appear to be a genuine issue with the 1520. Do not have one so could not comment
- Yes indeed i can grant you it's genuine. Haven't sent an email in the last 2 weeks. Just too frustrating.
I know there is several Chinese language settings but as I am not Chinese could not comment beyond this is not something Nokia could do anything about as it is a core OS issue and not a hardware/firmware one.
- Well, it's easy to see if you have doubts. Enter: Settings-Keyboard and go search for any form of input that says "Traditional Chinese with Pinyin (PinYIn is the romanization of chinese characters. You type say "Wo" and the chinese character for "I" pops up amongst other choices. This has been existing from day 1 in any decent keyboard. It has been requested at MS suggestion board 3 years ago. Is still to be implemented. I find it hard to think how they can sell these phones here (especially considering the relations between China and Taiwan and the fact they use simplified/traditional respectively). It's not only a mad marketing move, it's also politically sensitive. No one normal does that here, believe me.
There's several swiping keyboard shortcuts such as typing special characters or numerals (tap hold the 123 key and swipe to the desired character)
- Sure, then do one thing. Download any swiping keyboard on an Android device and then compare the speed at which you type and amend words. The WP keyboard is primitive. The fact you can't resize it combined with the screen oversensitiveness make it useless. Other Nokias are much much better, but you can't beat a real swipe keyboard, especially if you type as a profession. How can someone use such a keyboard on a device in 2014 is beyond me and and anyone else who has used an Android but even a Blackberry in old times. It's simply inefficient compared to anything else out there. Then we can argue on what we like or not but surely not on its lack of productivity compared to else (whatever else)
As long as the app does not use it's own code anywhere you want to enter text tap and hold to have the cursor appear and swipe to the location wanted.
- Then do a test. Take an email sent by someone else. Then go to the portion of text he sent you in the REPLY mail you are writing and try to select one of the SENDER's words. You'll see it's impossible. Then move down and try to select a single word of your reply. You'll see it can be done. Different menus pop up based on where you are or which app you are.
Same is TEXT PREDICTION. It works in some places, doesn't in others, even when you'd need it
Never used it, as far as I heard especially since tha latest (recent) update this got a lot better)
You don't. Try to be a foreigner permanently based abroad and the usefulness of these tools (Dictionaries, translators, etc.) will appear immediately, especially when you have to handle or even study characters based on ideograms. Now, Android (Which i insist in saying i don't like due to their philosophy), offers not only a good mobile translating app (including a function where you take a picture then just scroll your finger on the words you want to be translated and translation pops up in a moment) but if you don't like it you can also find a wide choice of tools (Pleco and Hanping being among them and their developers having no intention to expand on WP for now and some not even in the future). In this perspective, what for you is useless or secondary, for people like me (and other expats who do business and work abroad) is a killer application. Google got it. Microsoft and Nokia, it seems, don't.
Never understood the obsession with a notification bar when your apps and services all give up constant updates and notifications on their tiles. I would not want a blinking light on my phone ever. If you are unable to check your phone even once an hour that is really not the phone or OS problem. Don't try and pin your own negligence on the phone that just makes you look silly.
Let's try to be constructive. This OS must not be built based on what you as Blog Admin like or don't like. It has to be built to cater for a wide range of users. Now, you don't like that led because apparently your tiles make you happy. I, don't spend all my day watching tiles. I work too so the phone goes in standby and since it's permanently muted (no ring, no vibration), LED is key to understand when i get emails or sms' or other notifications. I am not asking a multicolour LED as in Samsung devices (which allow you to assign a colour and vibration combination to different accounts so you understand based on colour and vibration what is important and what is not; but at least a basic primitve LED telling people "Hey you got mail or SMS". If it's not a LED, a screen notification waking up the phone from standby would to as well. As far as i know it's not present. It was present in many Android devices as both standard or third party app since the very first basic versions.
So you use a Note2 and 1520 at the same time? this may well have nothing to do with the phone and it won't be the first time it turns out a WiFi router is actually at fault.
So what do you do? Go to Starbucks and tell everyone to stop using the free Wi-Fi because your Nokia 1520 needs a dedicated connection and i threaten to suit Starbucks for not letting the King have the whole bandwidth for itself?
Galaxy works fine. Nokia doesn't, especially when broadband gets weaker (Taipei has Wi-Fi also on Metro wagons and any restaurant or other outlet you may think of). Core point is everyone is there reading their content on their mobiles. I am there trafficking with settings and **bleep**. Ended up using my Galaxy which works fine.
Those are not Nokia owned nor operated stores, go complain to them
Let me explain you a basic of marketing so you understand when it's not the case to defend a brand beyond reasonable limits even when you administer their blog.
If i, as a customer, enter a BLUE SHOP carrying a big, huge, NOKIA brand with all people wearing Nokia shirts i (and the other 23 million users who almost stopped to buy Nokia in Taiwan) assume whoever is running it, is running it on behalf of Nokia (Officially or unoficially doesn't matter as they get the license to sell from Nokia in any case). So, if your licensee works good, people are happy and buy more; if the staff shows signs of laziness, arrogance, treating adults without respect, showing ignorance on device's issues (They didn't even know about the global issue of oversensitiveness or about keyboards...the phone was an alien in their hands), people RUN. And i did RUN.
If you combine the bad support with the fact that the device is actually malfunctioning and lacks a lot of basic functions that in 2014 are given for granted, i beg to think that the only users left once they try the phone for one or two weeks will be some Fans of the brand and a few people who need it to watch movies and take pictures but you don't need a phablet for that. When you sell a bad device and have an as bad support that instead of solving the issue denies it you are turning the market in a self-help environment where users get angered (And you can see how many there are about Lumias and 1520 starting to get on top of the list). So, as much as you and I may stay argue in your blog, i think that if this issue is not solved this OS doesn't have much future.
Finally, a phablet is a sophisticated device where screen size, hardware and software package combine to offer a certain experience that ranges from entertainment to work IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT (Not in your garden, in your living room or when you show off the device to friends to let them see all those useless tiles which you can't even interact with as they open when you want to resize them etc. due to the bad screen). It means the device must be ready and functional in your country or in mine or wherever you live. In this case, Galaxy and their cheap plastic trash got it right with the Note family. Others like HTC and Nokia are lagging behind and 1520 in this respect is not helping people who want to jump from Android to Windows Phone to make that jump.
Test the device simulating the job a professional user doess (typing mails all the time, text messages, interacting with web content, copy/paste, translating and sharing data, sending data to other apps in a snap), then multiply that for 7 days a week and then experience the frustration accumulating day after day. In my case, this is further amplified by the fact that i come from a device that has spoilt me allowing me to do things in a snap.
This phone, as is, is no game!

Nokia 1520 Usability

Hi,
I have been using Nokia 1520, Nokia Lumina Black Edition Windows Phone 8 for about 2 month, I find the phone really lack of basic functionality. Compare to Android and iOS.
Does anyone know where Bluetooth Shared File Store on Windows Phone 8?
I've been scratching my head about this one, no file manager so where does the Bluetooth shared files(pdf) store ?, Tried the Office Hub Icon (It is not in the document folder).
I have also notice that you only have one chance (and I must said one chance) to open with an appropriate app.
If you missed that chance, you can't find it (even it is already downloaded).
For example:
After the file finish downloaded onto Nokia 1520, you'll see a message tap to view done ... on top of the screen, you need to choose the appropriate app to open it.
Problems:
1. When a file finish transfer my phone go into powersaving mode (or lock screen), I then tap on the message while I am on the Lock screen (That it I have lost the opportunity to find my file) - (Once Chance).
2. You can send multiple file, but you can only tap once on the message (One Chance)
My annoying work around is to re-send the file (That mean there is another copy somewhere that use up my phone storage).
Another mind bloggling thing about Bluetooth Connection, I've seen question in the forum about bluetooth connection.
After the phone is paired with PC (You click on connect, it would connect for a few second and then disconnect, I was always under the impression that it mean the bluetooth is not working when it was disconnected after a few second).
From what I have understand so far is, Bluetooth connection only stay connect during file share and then disconnect.
I think if this is by design, then Nokia should documented some where that it is not mean to stay connected.
Can't Open PDF Link
When visit site that does not return file type of pdf (you have no way of open/download the document) as it is become unsupported document type event if you surf the Store.
Can't Easily Share file between program.
Let said if I have a pdf document on the phone, I want to open up in different PDF Reader Program. I have to put into the Document Folder for Office Hub to recognize then I can select which Program to Open With (No setting for Default Program - you have to select every single time).
Each Program that you open with seem to get a copy of this same file.
Viewing Multiple Account in 1 Mail Program
(This really need to have it own topic, since it have so many gotcha).
1. Linked Mail (Not obvious, someone in this forum was able to point me to this functionality) to allow viewing multiple mail account from 1 program (but this have it own limitation - you can't distinct which account the email is coming from unless you open the email and find there is a small text with the account name).
2. When you are creating a Draft email and you switch to another app, how do you switch back to your draft. You have to Tap and Hold on the Back Key (<-) then find the draft email that you are currently composing.
3. How do you find the sent folder for the mail account?
You have to Tap on ... Then select folders ( Not as simple as Android or iOS, just swipe/tap a button to show all the folder).
Viewing Video File
1. There is no option to lock the key, alot of time I accidentally tapped to the next section of the movies.
2. No easy access to the volumn control on screen when play back the movie.
PDF Viewer.
I am still waiting for a Good PDF Reader (With basic functionality, Highlight, Adding Bookmark).
I have try Acrobat Reader (But look like no one interested in improving it, the program is not optimized for Nokia 1520, therefore text is not very clear, I have raise the issue but no response).
I have sent the feed back to Microsoft regarding the default PDF Reader (Can't add bookmark, No Highlight), but no response. I guess, I am only a small fish in the pond.
ePub Viewer.
I am not sure is it me or what, most of the ePub Reader is Line Justified which leave a big gap between the text and it really annoy me, but no setting to turn this off.
Regards Dat.

And add up A) Oversensitive screen that doesn't allow you to type properly B) Lack of Traditional Chinese with Pinyin insertion (been asked first in 2011) C) Lack of consistency in when it allows you to select one single word or position the cursor accurately VS selecting whole words (It's OS selected not like Android that allows you to do what you want) D) Terrible support both online and in person (In Taipei i had a terrible experience) E) Free gift vouchers that you can't use because either your email or your current location DO NOT MATCH the gift card. In short it sucks 360°

View Photos in Nokia 1520

Hi,
I am using Nokia 1520, while taking photos and viewing it, it is said that it will show only a 5MP photo in the phone (easy for sharing). My question here is how to view the original 20 MP High Quality pictures? Even i tried connecting to PC and searched for it but not able to find any.
Appreciate your help
Vinoth

Hi JVinoth,
Welcome to the forum!
Did you use the default camera app to take the 5MP images? If yes, you can use the Nokia Camera app to take and view photos with higher resolution. Just launch the Nokia Camera app, tap More (...) > Settings. You can change the Capture mode from JPEG (5MP) to JPEG (5MP)+(19MP for 4:3 Aspect ratio, or 16MP for 16:9). This means that though the Lumia 1520 has a 20MP camera sensor, the maximum resolution that it can take is 19MP.
Once you take photos using Nokia Camera, you can try viewing the high resolution images using a PC.
Let us know the outcome.

Nokia 1520 (US AT&T) in UK?

I have an AT&T Nokia 1520 that I want to use in the UK while I'm there for a couple of weeks. Is this possible? A few people at AT&T stores have told me that this is as simple as inserting a UK carrier SIM card (I was looking at Three, they seem to have decent rates) but all of the conflicting information out there has lead me here to ask...Does the 1520 need to be unlocked for this to work? Mine is not, at least not as far as I know. What's my best bet here? Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

The people in the AT&T stores don't know so they just say anything that comes to mind, as usual, and they should know better. I would go back and tell them how bad their information is.
Your phone is locked, locked to an AT&T sim card. It will not work with another sim until it is unlocked.
AT&T unlocking information.
