The deal breaker, or why I won't upgrade to Nokia ...
Why can't Nokia come up with a really competitive budget smartphone offering? Why can't it give as an all-around decent phone like it used to do in the good old dates?
For the last 2 years, I've been using Nokia 5530. It was a nice budget offering for its time, but the experience was hindered by an abysmally slow CPU and low amount of RAM (which might have been acceptable for a entry-level smartphone in 2009, but to put exactly the same hardware to models 5800 and C6-00 was a crime; it basically killed otherwise capable smartphones). The software also wasn't up-to-par, with a totally tragic attempt at creating a web browser, (somehow improved as of now, but it still can't overcome the hardware limitations, thankfully Opera manages to save the day) obstacles to install new apps (I finally figured out how to sign them myself, but why was Nokia forcing me to do that, making my life harder for apparently no purpose?) and certainly not well thought-out UI.
Now it comes the time for upgrade and it seems Nokia has finally learned its lesson. New budget Nokia 500 runs at whooping 1 GHz, has a vastly improved UI, comes with a GPS with free maps, has a new, significantly better screen and is finally the Nokia phone we've been waiting for for a long, long time...NOT
Because, as it is customary with Nokia lately, someone had to break it.
For quite a few years Nokia phones have been famous for their excellent cameras, so on e would assume e that at least THIS won't ever be a problem. Well, one would assume wrong as Nokia 500 totally neglects this feature. Don't get me wrong, it's a budget offering and I'm not assuming I'd get a N8 style hardware, but even my entry level 5530 more than 2 years ago had an autofocus with a LED flash. The 500 is unmistakably targeted at value conscious high school and college students yet it doesn't have this crucial feature of being able o take a quick photo of their notes, a page in a book or some printed announcement. It's the year 2011 for God's sake, autofocus is not a premium feature, it's a MUST for any (semi-)decent phone. Ho could anyone overlook it?
Goodbye Nokia, welcome Android.

Why itunes won't upgrade to the newest upgrade

I was deleting photos when the screen froze and I had to shut down the computer manually. Now after the first minute of being turned on the screen freezes and the mouse arrow goes into that rainbow whirling disc and won't stop no matter how long I let it go. My keyboard is Turkish. My keys are not marked the same as an English one is, further complicating resolving the problem.
The dealer I bought it from doesn't speak English and wants to charge me for repairs. I refuse to pack the computer up and ship it UPS out of town for a repair I can do plus pay for shipping.
When I received my computer I was only given the manual and no system restore discs for situations such as this. I asked where they were and was told there were none.
I suspect this is a tactic to make money on bogus tech repairs off their customers. To purchase new discs, if I can find them, can cost from $30-$40 - the dealer more than likely is re-selling the discs at 100% profit. This is Cizgili Apple Store in Adana, Turkey. I wish to report them. It is a national company too. I don't have a receipt handy, but have an emailed receipt. I can't get my computer's number to get further assistance on the Apple website withput it.
I was a dedicated Windows customer until I started doing desk top publishing. I'm fighting the urge not to regret buying this computer.1-800-676-2775 apple support tech support 1 800 275 2273
If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number. You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers. A camera might help.

I bourght "E O Wilson's Life on Earth" and backed it up to my iMac. Now it won't sync back to my iPad because it says I don't have permission on this computer. I don't want to download it from iTunes again because it took up a lot of bandwidth. What's the deal?
I also made the big mistake of downloading a free book about the making of the movie "Frankenweenie." Mega-memory eater. Now it wants to download additions and started to do so---now says paused. I can't delete the bloody thing. Seems like nothing I've downloaded, including free books, can be deleted. How can I get rid of this garbage?
Is there any way to just transfer my music from my iMac to my iPad and not affect anything else on my iPad? The whole iBooks thing is just a mess as far as I'm concerned. Is there any way to just drag and drop?"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one. -

I get the same thing... no matter what site i try to pull a pdf for IE10, it gives me the black x... if i use chrome it works, but my client does not want to use a different browser.
I followed the guide that Pat posted... nothing worked... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java, Adobe reader, Adobe flash,.. upgraded to IE11, then back to IE10 due to medical software that is not compatable with IE11...
The kicker is that my Admin profile works just fine.. no issues.. so i know it has something to do with his profile....

In list view: Why don't searches include results from the Collections field? Why won't the Collections column sort properly?
I create a new index on column2, (INDEX_N3)
and change SQL to
select 1 from table T1 where
T1.COLUMN_002 = '848K 36892'
This time INDEX_N3 will be used.
but change SQL to
select 1 from table T1 where
T1.COLUMN_002 = '848K 36892'
and T1.COLUMN_004 = '1000'
The explain plan will show full scan.
Why?
Thanks. -

I try to download music I purchased and it won't download. It comes up and says "download error. Tap to retry." Every time I retry it does the same thing. Why is my phone doing this??
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -
