The news is making the activation issue seem like a SMALL number of people

One articles title is "Some iPhone customers put on hold"
- http://news.com.com/SomeiPhone+customers+put+onhold/2100-1041_3-6194446.html
A quote from that article:
""There are a small percentage of iPhone customers who have had a less-than-perfect activation experience. We're working hard to resolve any issues quickly," Natalie Kerris, an Apple spokeswoman, said via e-mail."
Another article :
Piper Jaffray: 500,000 iPhones sold over the weekend
- http://news.com.com/8301-107843-9738446-7.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-10403-0-5
#### If they sold 500,000 iPhones this weekend and they say 2% of the people are having some issues. . . . that is 10,000 people . . . (If my math is right)
That sounds like a LOT!
(The iPhone itself, ONCE it's working has been terrific, but the activations woes stink!)

Statistically, it like a pimple on an elephants a--!
Look at it another way. 3 million phones built. There will be between 30,000 - 150,000 phones with internal problems. A lot of phones, yes! But out of 3 million!!!
So people need to put perspective on the issues.

  • To make a new site or not? (for branch office with small number of people)

    We have a main office, with our DC (DC01) and a single site (SiteHO), and we are about to open up a new branch office in another city.  This branch office is connected to the head office via a 5 Mbps MPLS network.  The branch office will have around
    5-7 domain joined workstations, and the people there will require access to the existing file and exchange servers in the head office. 
    I was thinking about not adding a RODC in the branch office and not creating another site in AD for the branch office either.  My thinking is that since the number of users is relatively low, it doesn't warrant having a new RODC and site.  The
    traffic generated by the 5-7 user logon activities will be minimal, and the local profiles are stored on the workstations (no roaming profiles), so there shouldn't be much WAN link impact.  Obviously I would have to add the subnet from the branch office
    to the SiteHO site. 
    Can anybody think of something wrong with my reasoning?

    I think the dedicated line has a little to do with AD since its used both to authenticate the users and move the data.
    I am not sure what bandwith you get from an internet provider in your location, but for example you might get a 100Mb internet connection from an ISP. A VPN tunnel over a 100Mb internet connection I am guessing is faster then a 5Mb guaranteed MPLS link.
    The advantage of MPLS is that you can have QoS policies for voice and video traffic.
    If users move 'very large files' perhaps a local file server might be an good option. DFS replication can save a lot of bandwidth in that case. And then you would have 'local resources' in the branch and in case of wan failure the users will not be able
    to access the local file server resource. So you would need a secondary DC in that location.
    And if they are moving the files think (and check) the impact on the MPLS, because authentication requests go through that link, Exchange traffic (RPC MAPI) goes through that link so these might be affected. For example, lets say you have 2GB mailboxes.
    All Outlook users use OST files. One user's profile gets corrupted and needs to be rebuilt. The Outlook client sets up a fresh OST copy of the mailbox so now its downloading a 2GB mailbox copy over a 5Mb MPLS while some other user is moving a 'large file'.
    By local resources I am referring to file servers, printers, applications in the branch location that require AD authentication. Authentication works with both VPN and MPLS and in case the wan/vpn is down users can even log in with
    cached credentials.
    Hope it helps.

    Re: That garbage is unreadable.
    If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
    Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
    I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

    I need some help.... I Have the iPhone 4S and downloaded the new software (6.0) and everything seems great so far except when I try to open a link in safari from a different app (ie..messages, Facebook, ect..) it glitches and won't load. The blue loading bar will just jump back and forth and the page will not load properly if at all....

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

    I have this issue.  Album artwork was totally fine before.  After this update, it is all messed up and even got messed up when transferred to my iphone.
    iTunes doesn't have the artwork anymore, but then iPhone has it but shows wrong artwork with wrong albums.
    Please fix!

    Hi..............I have a new Creative Cloud registration and have bought the new Dreamweaver CC but I cannot seem to down load it? My Creative Cloud has downloaded but not my new Dreamweaver CC?  I currently have the old Dreamweaver CS4 on my system! Can anyone help?

    The first thing you need to do is download and install the Creative Cloud Desktop Application. Then, open that program and click on the Apps tab. You download and install creative cloud applications from there.
    If your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements to run a given program, it won't show up under the Apps tab.
    Once they are installed, you'll need to go to your Applications folder (Mac) or Program Files (x86) folder (PC) to start the program itself.

  • HT201077 My Iphone 4s was replaced by the Apple store today. I previously backed everything up to Icloud. I'm downloading everything from Icloud onto the new phone. The pictures seem to have stalled on number 215 for the past hour or so.

    I had my I phone 4s replaced today at the Apple store. I previously backed it up on ICloud. I'm downloading from ICloud to the new phone. The pictures have been stuck on number  215 for an hour now. I've turned the phone off and on several times, but it won't progress in downloading the pictures. This happened the last time the phone was replaced and there was something I could do to get things moving, but I don't remember what?

    Then you'll have to decide when you think it's hung and unlikely to restart.  At that point, you'll probably have to reset it (by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release) and try restoring the backup again.
    The only "solution" I've seen posted on photos that fail to restore from a backup that seems to have worked for others, is the on posted by ezjules here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589.  If you restore the backup again, you could give it a try and see if it works for you.

  • ''The new king of the desktop'' cannot even catch the internet!

    Ever since I bought Lion for my MacBook Pro my internet wireless connection has constantly been dropping off without any warning. Restarts sometimes bring it back but I find it frustrating and embaressing that ''the new king of the desktop'' cannot even catch the internet!
    I brought my machine to an Apple repair store here in Barcelona and the assistant assumed straight away it was a Lion software problem and how that he now advises everyone not to change over to Lion as it cause too many problems . They checked my MacBook Pro and confirmed the hardware was totally fine and that the problem was in fact the software.
    I asked if they could fix it, (I mean there are laptops that are built in garden sheds that can carry out the simple task of picking up wireless internet!!!) I picked it up the next day and the internet had returned to my machine however a few hours later the same problem of the internet server not being found was regularly recurring. It is just not good enough. I spent 70 euro for nothing!
    If anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this, they would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise I will just have to follow the Apple assistant´s advice and 'just go back to Leopard'

    This seems to be a well-known issue. I had issues with my mid-2009 MacBook dropping its WiFi connection under Snow Leopard as well. Lion made it worse and it happens at least once a day now, although there are some weeks where it doesn't happen. It's the only WiFi-enabled device for it to happen. I don't know of a fix.

  • Error while adding a used relationship between the New DC and the Web DC

    Hi Gurus
    We are getting the Error in NWDS while Adding  a used relationship between the New DC and the Web DC.
    Steps what we are Done
    1. Create the custom project from inactiveDC's
    2.creating the project for the component crm/b2b in SHRAPP_1
    3.After that we changed the application.xml and given the contect path.
    4.Then we tried to add Dependency to the custom create DC we are getting the error saying that illegal deppendency : the compartment sap.com_CUSTCRMPRJ_1 of DC sap.com/home/b2b_xyz(sap.com.CUSTCRMPRJ_1) must explicitly use compartment sap.com_SAP-SHRWEB_1 of DC sap.com/crm/isa/ like that it was throwing the error.
    so, we skip this step and tried to create the build then it is saying that build is failed..
    Please help us in this regard.

    Hi
    Please Ignore my above message.
    Thanks for ur Response.
    After ur valuble inputs we have added the required dependencies and sucessfully created the projects, then building of the  projects was also sucessfully done and  EAR file was created.
    We need to deploy this EAR file in CRM Application Server by using the interface NWDI.
    For Deploying the EAR into NWDI, we need to check-in the activites what i have created for EAR. once i check-in the activites ,the NWDI will deploy the EAR into CRM Application Server.
    In the Activity Log we are able to check the Activities as Suceeded but the Deployment column is not showing any status.
    When i  right click on my activity Id the deployment summery is also disabled.
    So finally my Question is that where can i get the deployment log file, and where can i check the deployment status for my application..
    Any pointers in this regard would be of great help..
    Awaiting for ur valuble Responses..
    Regards

    http://blog.jussipalo.com/2012/01/sharepoint-2010-data-source-control.html
    While there can be many causes for this generic error message, in my case the first parameter or ddwrt:DataBind function inside the SharePoint:FormFields element was
    'i' and I was working with an Edit Form. Changing it to
    'u' as it was with every other FormField fixed the issue.
    <SharePoint:FormField runat="server" id="ff1{$Pos}" ControlMode="Edit" FieldName="Esittaja" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('u',concat('ff1',$Pos),'Value','ValueChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Esittaja')}"
    />
    Explanation:
    DataBind operation type parameters (the first parameter) are listed below:
    'i' stands for INSERT,
    'u' stands for UPDATE,
    'd' stands for DELETE.

  • How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?

    How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?
    My 3GS is dying and it's synced to an older computer.  I have tons of datafiles as well as apps, music, text messages, etc. that I need to get moved to the new iphone4 I'm getting.  Then I need to move the sync to a newer computer so that I can sync the new phone and new computer.
    I understand how to get my apps to transfer to a new pc.  That's not the issue.  It's getting ALL the data from the 3GS to the 4 and then to a new computer.
    Thanks.

    Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone).  Very clear. 
    However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer.  How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?

  • How do I transfer my boot disc data to a new disc and have the new disc become the boot disc?

    My original 500 Gb boot drive is full (~800 Mb available).  I purchased a 1 Tb drive and installed it (no problems).  Now I want to transfer everything on my original boot disc to the new drive and have the new drive become the boot disc.  I would then wipe the original disc and use it for data backup.
    Can I simply copy all the contents of the original disc to the new disc (this seems too easy...)?  I am in that process, now, but am feeling insecure about it.  I do have Time Capsule.  However, when I went into it to restore to the new disc it wouldn't perform the task - maybe I am overlooking something...
    Suggestions are welcome!
    Thanks
    Jim

    No, the system won't 'copy' but you can clone it.

    http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
    You could also copy or clone  /Users to the new drive and leave the system where it is and free up most of the file space being used. OS X only needs 100GB. That way all the data is on the new drive.
    And I think you want to add CCC along with TimeMachine to your backup strategy.
