Tethering issue with the T-Mobile Mytouch 3G and Macbook

I am a very happy Mac user, I have been so for 10 years. I have a 17" 4G MacBook Pro. I am also a customer of T-Mobile, and I have a Mytouch 3G, which uses the Android operating system. It's OS was just recently upgraded to Froyo, which now allows the phone to be tethered to your laptop so you can have a mobile hotspot.
I was very happy about this feature, until I found out that tethering only works with Windows and Linux only.
I went to the official T-Mobile forums and posted this:
"The tethering option in Froyo needs to be available for Mac.
As a Mac user, I find it very unfair that tethering is only available for Windows and Linux. As a photographer and graphic designer, I use a Macbook Pro that I take everywhere with me. If I can't get a good Wi-FI connection, I'm in trouble.
I would hope that this situation is corrected soon, so everyone using a MT3G and Froyo can benefit from this feature. The world does not run on Windows alone."
This is the response I was given by someone:
"Well, you're barking up the wrong tree in this case. Complain to Apple and tell them to support Remote NDIS (RNDIS) like Windows and Linux do. It's a published standard in USB Communication Device Class, Version 1.1
It's not the phone's or Google's fault that Apple has decided not to support the standard."
Now, I don't really understand what any of this means. Could some please explain it so I can understand it? Also, Is this person correct, or is there any other way to tether the phone?

Cumbersome??? ......you are very kind. Unfortunately I have not found anything but Studio that will do it.

Has anyone had issues with the new Mac Pro computers and the Adobe Application Manager?

We just purchased a new Mac Pro and transferred everything from the old computer to the new one. Now we are getting Adobe Application Manager errors and it wants us to download Application Manager. That leads us to the Adobe Installer that encounters the following issues
Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem. But that doesn't work either.
Anyone run into this?

Yep, half of my tracks are coming up displaying an error -69 ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302684 ) and every time I remove a track from the shuffle or update the shuffle, Itunes opens a window displaying the contents of J:\ (obviously the ipod) and hidden folder \iPod_Control.... I'm really irked with this. Been mucking around with the stupid thing for hours now.
Nothing was wrong with it until it suddenly decided to stop working, it wouldn't play tracks and Itunes wouldn't recognise it, hadn't missed a beat up till now. Sifted through the Support site for an answer and getting told I needed to update Itunes and update the Ipod software, ***?? It was working fine before. Me thinks Apple have inserted software in ipod to force users to update to newer version of Itunes. Anyway, ever since updating to the latest Itunes, the Ipod is back in action, but it is trying to tell me that half of my mp3s are corrupt (see error -69), rofl, um no, it's your stupid software Apple, I'm off to by myself a decent MP3 player without the bloat software.

Anybody have issues with the iTunes 7.1 update and Logic?

Scenerio:
Working happily in Logic Pro. Software Update appears with available updates to iTunes and Quicktime. I needed a break from editing, so I accpeted the update.
Immediately relaunched Logic Pro and at the Updating the Tree stage my machine freezes, with the following message appearing in four languages:
"You need to restart you computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the restart button."
Chances are overwhelming that this is directly related to the 2 updates, with the iTunes update being the likely culprit, in my opinion
I repaired permissions which had no effect.
What should I try next?

Hi,
MacFixit has reports from several readers reporting Kernel panics after updating:

"I had a kernel panic this morning after I installed the itunes and quicktime updates that apple released last night. Last night after installing the updates I shut my machine down and then this morning I powered it up and got a kernel panic (gray screen with various languages telling me how to power down my computer). I don't think there was anything else that I did to my computer last night that could have affected this."

Index EKKO~D consists top-down of BSTYP and BEDAT. BSTYP is already an EQ-condition in your selection, but not very selective (many rows with the same value). So including BEDAT should help in efficiently reducing the data that needs to be scanned for finding the relevant rows. However, just a new optional S_BEDAT select option that can be left empty by the user would not help, you must force a narrow selection (one month, one week, even one day? the less the better).
This is just a quick guess from my side, there might be other options that occur to you once you have analysed the available indexes. Sometimes alternative tables could be the solution, and even less sometimes introducing a new secondary index for a standard table might be the last option (takes up space and adds processing time to insert/update/delete operations).

Issue with the functions "add matching sets" and "modify matching sets"

Hi,
Though 'None' access permission is set for the functions 'Add Matching Sets' and 'Modify Matching Sets', they are accessible.
Is this a bug with the tool? or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,

Having an issue with the latest Indesign CC update and Easy Catalog plugin.

After the latest CC update I had this strange behavior start occuring. I have multiple pages that load in data and images via Easy Catalog, I've been using the same pages for years without any issues, within the past couple days I've noticed that now, when I run "Update Easy Catalog Fields" on a book all of the images get loaded in at about 25% of their size. If I instead run "Update Document" on a single file it loads in correctly. Any one else having similar issues?

Thanks

Have you contacted Tech Support for 65bit Software, who make Easy Catalog?

Is there a compatibility issue with the iPod Touch 4th generation and the TomTom carkit that worked fine with my 1st generation iPod Touch?

I recently purchased a new iPod Touch. The "keyboard" of my first generation was beginning to play up, but it still worked fine with my TomTom carkit (if you'll allow for the fact that being restricted to OS 3 meant you couldn't update the software either). But, contrary to what I'd been told, the fourth generation one refuses to work. I think it's making contact because I hear the connection beep, but it doesn't charge up or seem able to find the satellite connection. I've seen someone saying it was a physical width problem. If it's making contact, why isn't it capable to pick up a signal? Is there a compatibility issue after all?

Got you! Why this didn't come up in my search before, have no idea. So it's all a question of design... How mean not to inform manufacturers of accessories about the change in specs. About to try the folded-over business card solution and then Velcro if the former doesn't give satisfaction. Did actually buy a silicon case, but it makes the protective filter buckle as it gets under the edges which isn't exactly useful. Went back to my previous leather case which I have to remove to use the car kit...

Is Apple or anyone aware of the security issue with the iPad 2, iOS 5, and Smartcover?!

See here for a demonstration of what I'm talking about...makes me very nervous:

Mail stopped recognizing my gmail and other, non-iCloud, accounts. Anyone else have this problem? No issue with the same software installed on my MacBook Air.

Mid morning, before Christmas, my iMac stopped downloading all mail from gmail and my personal domain. Only the me.com account is still functioning. Thankfully I am able to access my mail on my MacBook Air but would like to get the problem resolved on my main computer. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi Susan,
Can you loginto gMail's Webmail in a browser using the same login credentials?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

Issues with iCloud - syncing Notes between iPhone and Macbook

Why won't my Notes sync between my Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion) and my iPhone 5? The iPhone and the Macbook Pro are both linked to the same account, iCloud is turned on on both, and I've tried signing in and out of iCloud.com, but it doesn't seem to work.

First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

10.4.11 Has Apple addressed/fixed issues with the latest update to Tiger?

Like many of you, I installed the 10.4.11 update last weekend with disastrous results. I eventually had to Archive and Install and my machine seems to be recovered. Has anybody had this problem and gone on to try the update a second time with better results ?? Any words of wisdom?? or had some sort of feedback from Apple to indicate they have or are going to resolve the problems with this update.

+I just posted this on the thread that seemed geared to those who "had success" (many more than half had issues) with the recent update after pi55ing and moaning due to crashing several times while trying to post there. Subsequently I found this thread and a bit of absoultion. I have eliminated the links, thinking them redundant but they are posted to that thread.+

A little story, when I first tried to install Jaguar on my then Beige (Yeah, remember them!) G3 MT, it took me a full six months to get that "Darn Cat" in that house! Oh, how I sweated and swore, you talk about "legacy", I waved every "dead chicken" that was suggested to no avail. Ended up that before I bought the unit someone had switched out the CD/ROM for one from one year later, still Apple issue, mind you. I sent to OpAmp and got an original and "The Cat" slid in as quick as grease through a goose. That's how tightly wound Apple was and still is in many ways and is why they stopped the clones. This was one of a slew of many little things you had to get used to in "Mac Land".
One other small thing you used to do a "clean install", you still can, but under OS 9, after you were satisfied (Conflict Catcher made things ever so easy!) all was peachy, you could simply trash your Previous System Folder and get back some valuable disk space. Well not to long after my success with the install of Jaguar and still not understanding OS X at all, I was still working mainly in OS 9, I did a Clean Install on my OS X, horsed around with settings which was difficult without Conflict Catcher and bravely trashed my Prev Sys Folder. Don't ever, EVER do that. What is a seemingly empty shell but for redundant Apps and meaningless abbreviations, is indeed a necessary if gigabyte eating Albatross you are doomed to carry!
My point with these two parables is that we are creatures of trust and habit, living on borrowed time. We have been blessed with a computer system that is virtually foolproof given certain caveats, caveats if adhered to even marginally would guarantee success. I my self have gotten into some very bad habits of late and think that this may be the cause of my computers malaise.
Drop to your knees and be grateful you don't have a PC (shudder!)! Yes Virginia, there is an Insanity Clause! I just installed WinXP on an Intel Mac, and after it was over all I wanted was a stiff drink and a shower!

Several severe Issues with the Nokia 808 (camera, ...

Hey Guys,
I was a avid user of the Nokia N8 with its amazin camera features. So i made the switch to the 808. While the initial Impression was awesome, when traveling over the last few days my experience wasn't that great. There are several in part very severe issues i am having:
1st and foremost: the cameras automatic shutter speed is too low for nearly every shot. No, my hands are not too shaky, I've doing professional photgraphs since 10 years now and am able to shoot with 1/10th and lower. Yet, when enjoying a boat tour in Copenhagen and taking pictures of the passing scenerey, nearly all images have noticeable motion blur due to the slooooow movement of the boat. And this in bright daylight. The only way to bypass this was by using the sports mode - but then again you are limited to 5 megapixels. You can also notice the very long shutter time when simply taking a picture of your local metro station. MOst of the people walking by have motion blur.
This brings me to issue number 2: I really don't get why i am unable to influence the focus method. You get the Landscape and Sports mode (which use a fixed focus) but that's not available in the creative mode. So even when doing simple panoramic shots in the creative mode in 5, 8 or 34 megapixels the camera has to focus. Problem here: when shooting panoramic stills the focus sometimes decides to focus on a nearby person instead of the 'big picture'.
Issue number 3: When manually selecting a very low ISO value (for decent night shots) the Camera makes that artificial shutter sound WAY before the shutter actually closes. Therefore you THINK that taking the picture is already done and move the camera around. This results in awful images
Issue number 4: Battery usage is way to high on the 808. I was able to take my N8 around town all day, shoot over 300 (Yes, 300) images, do a bit of navigation, email, browse and tak without the battery being drained below 15%. I ran out of battery with the 808 after only 136 images, 15 mins of Navigation, Wireless Lan and 3G turned OFF. So the entire point of having a device that combines phone and camera and lasts all day is simply gone I had usage times of 3-4 days with the N8 (when not on vacation) - the 808 is drained after the first night under the very same conditions.
To sum it up - i'd like to see the following things fixed/added:
- Behaviour of the automatic shutter
- Option to manually select shutter
- Option to select different focus methods (on / off ) in creative mode
- BATTERY USAGE NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED!
- black on white color theme for email
- ability to select multiple images in album view like before
- ability to get additional information on the image like with the n8 when you press and hold and select 'details'
- Ablity to turn of autofocus in video mode
- when deleting an email while reading the email, display the previous mail instead of the inbox
Would be great to get some feedback from you guys on that!
thanks

Hello…I own an 808 PureView device. At the outset, I must congratulate you for creating such a marvelous device. It’s in all dimensions a brilliant Smartphone and has no major lags except a few which I would like to mention as suggestions to improve the general smoothness and usefulness of its User Interface (henceforth-UI).
The in-built gallery lacks ‘mark multiple items’ option which, if integrated, can be fruitfully used to delete or send multiple items though Bluetooth. Also, the in-built gallery lacks ‘renaming’ function which would otherwise be helpful in organizing the gallery items, and in giving custom names which are easy to remember and deal with.
The generic MUSIC PLAYER lacks the track/music search function from within the music player, and so, to search a song out of the vast collection, the user has to use the generic SEARCH application by exiting or minimizing the music player, which in itself is a cumbersome exercise. The search function, if integrated into the music player, will help a great deal in making the music experience really customized and precise as also time saving.
The in-built VIDEO editing options available in the video viewing dashboard are relatively much naïve and rudimentary as compared to PureView’s lesser predecessor, the N8. Now, since 808 is a full-fledged camera Smartphone, it is bit logical on part of the user to expect the video editing dashboard to be as efficient and complete as the photo editing dashboard of the same is. Advance options like adding music clip can be added to the video editing console to mitigate the need of using any third party application to do so, and thus, it will further enhance the utility drawn from the cell-phone UI in terms of video editing and viewing.
The generic MESSAGING application has the default view as CONVERSATIONS view and manual selection every time is required to switch the view to FOLDERS mode. If there had been an option to make a choice in setting the folders view or the conversations view as default as per users convenience, it would have been again a smooth messaging experience.
To end up, the generic CONTACT application lacks the facility to edit the contact labels unlike the one which was available in S60 V3 devices (I owned N79 prior to owing 808 PureView and so I am well aware of this utility). Facility to edit the contact labels makes it easy to differentiate between multiple contact numbers of the same contact so as to have an ease of remembrance and clarity of use.
I earnestly hope that Nokia will incorporate some or all of these suggestions in the next-to-come firmware upgrade for Belle FP1 devices. These modifications/additions, if done and made, will make the Belle OS fully competent with its various other contemporaries as it just lacks these things but otherwise is a fluid and extremely useful OS. I request you to kindly pay due heed and consideration to my observations and work towards making the Belle OS an all-encompassing mobile platform. Thanking You.
