The way of dealing with the N95 maps problem sucks...

Hi..
Well, so it seems that a lot of people have problem using the maploader on WinXP to get those maps on their N95s.. I'm one of those.
I'm a software developer myself - I know that those problems can arise, be complex and cost time to solve. But it seems that Nokia simply doesn't care as I don't see any FAQ entry for this problem - the only source is this forum.
AT LEAST tell us a possible workaround. Give us a way to save those maps to the harddisc and tell us where to save those files on the memory card.
I've got up-to-date components (firmware, pc suite, map loader, drivers), I tried with the connected phone or via card reader - it simply always ends up with the same result, the error about the interrupted connection described by various posts.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry, I'm just really annoyed by the way Nokia helps his customers with this highly acclaimed feature - I paid much money for the N95 - I don't want ending up buying tomtom or route66 again..! I even would pay the navigation fee (which by the way surely was never mentioned when reading about the GPS feature)..
So, if you can't provide loader updates in time, just tell us a workaround - where to get the maps/vocals and where to put it on the memory card, that's fine for now..! please!!
Thanks! ;-)
PS: And yes, I tried the 1.2.1 maploader today.. with the new dotnetfx.. didn't help.

Help please!
So I managed to know which .zip being downloaded via Maploader (modem connection ) using the %temp%download_temp% run command (thanks limdul !)
Then I downloaded it again directly through http://static.s2g.gate5.de/maploaderzip/0.0.7h/ (thanks jtremaine !) because it was much faster and because Maploader isn't operating through my location's proxy.
Now the problem .... Nokia Maps now only shows the globe during the loading percentage status bar. After 100%, the screen goes black and then goes directly to the city level; no more fluidic graphic transition from the globe level to the city level! Even if I zoom out, I no longer have any geographical imageries ... all the zoom out levels half way and all the way to the globe level are gone. Even when the on-line update is on, nothing happen.
In a desperate effort to restore my dear Maps to its old fluidic graphic transition from the globe level to the city level I deleted the SD's \Private\20001f63\diskcache folder, restored the last backup, restarted the phone, downloaded the latest Maps, the latest loader .......but nothing helped
..... can you please? Message Edited by schatila on 11-Sep-200707:54 AM

Bought a new monitor.. wide screen 23"... Firefox is not filling the full window. IE works fine but I prefer Firefox. What do I need to do to fill entire window, not just the way it was with the old monitor?

Bought a new monitor.. wide screen 23"... Firefox is not filling the full window. IE works fine but I prefer Firefox. What do I need to do to fill entire window, not just the way it was with the old monitor? edit

Most pages are defined to be a certain size, regardless of how large or small your monitor is. You can use Firefox's zoom feature (View menu) to enlarge the text and images (or just the text, if you prefer) on a page.
In addition to making individual site adjustments, there are some add-ons that will default every site to a higher zoom level. For example, check out:

Does that help?

The way I deal with error message 1417, 1418 and 1428

Firstly, sorry for my poor English, but I would like to share with you my experience, and hope that it may helps you.
Since the release and update of iTunes 7, I have not faced any problem, but I heard a lot of articles from this forum about the errors 1417, 1418, 1428 and 50 etc. I could not make any suggestion and find a solution about it, all I could do is to copy some threads from some successful cases mentioned on this forum.
Until yesterday, I finally received a 4th Gen 20GB iPod (around 2 years old)from a friend and asked me whether I could fix it for him, which has been left untouched as a paper-weight for almost 2 months.
I tried to turn it on, and the screen was completed blank and the device looked dead. Before doing anything I prepared the following:-
1. A window based PC
2. A Mac computer
3. An USB iPod cable
4. A Firewire iPod cable
5. An iPod AC charger
As the iPod was previously formatted on a PC, therefore I tried to plug it with a PC via USB cable, it did not response and not able to get recognized by the PC. I ejected the iPod and connected with an AC charger, after a few minutes, I did a Reset for the iPod
How to reset iPod
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
The iPod showed an Apple sign, it stuck there for almost a minute, the screen then showed a battery with an exclamation mark sign, and after a minute, the iPod turned off itself. I was sure that the iPod carried very low battery, and could not be charged by connecting it with any computer (both Mac and PC).
I decided to let it have a charge with an AC charger for a bit longer, after 10 minute I did the Reset again, this time a sign of folder with exclamation mark showed up after the Apple sign, and again could not get recognized by a computer.
I changed my mind, and put the iPod into disk mode
Putting iPod into disk mode
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
Instead of connecting with a PC, I plug it with my Mac using a Firewire cable, it did not response, so I switched the cable to an USB, interestingly, the iPod got recognized and a window pop up indicating that the iPod needed to do a Restore. Therefore I clicked “Restore”, after a few seconds, an Error message pop-up with Error Message 1417, the sign that I have been waiting for quite sometime.
I ejected the iPod and the screen immediately showed a folder exclamation mark (a sign indicating a corrupted or a failure iPod OS). I am forced to put the iPod into disk mode again, connected with the Mac computer and open the Disk Utility
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
It managed to complete the Restore process, and started to sync with the iTunes. However, it got stuck at the song no.238 from the total of 2000. I left it for an hour, but with no process, instead the iPod became “Hot” and the iTunes showed an Error message of 1428. I ejected the iPod from my Mac computer, the iPod’s screen turn to show the famous killer icon;“The Sad iPod“.
This time it was totally dead, even failed to put it into Disk Mode and non of the computer could recognize it. Sigh, I hated to do it but I knew that I must did the following:-
Holding the iPod in my Palm, and hitting it on a surface of a Sofa with 5 attempts.
Did not surprise me, the iPod turned on and it showed the Language Menu on the screen. So, I put it into Disk Mode and connected with my window PC.
The PC showed a sign and indicated that an USB device had been connected with it. I opened the iTunes and did a Restore there.
However, an Error Message 50 showed up, but I were not worried about it, connected it back with my Mac computer with it in Disk Mode. As expected the iTunes opened and allowed me to do a Restore there.
This time it managed to complete the process and a window of register pop up. After the completed the process, the iPod started to sync with the iTunes again, which finally managed to complete the process.
I left it connecting with the AC charger overnight. In the next morning, I switched it on and have a play with it, I am so glad as it is working like a charm.
From the above experience, I would like to share it with the user the following:-
1. It always better to charge with an ac charger instead of the computer, as when an iPod carrying with very low battery, it may not able to get charge from a computer
2. Try to connect the iPod with a computer, switching between USB and Firewire
3. Try to format an iPod with HD problem, with a different kind of computer e.g. Mac or PC, as the formats are totally different, the way it formats may able to solve the bad sectors on the HD
4. It may get better chance to get your iPod recognized, if you put it in Disk Mode
I hope the following works in your case as I did.

a pop up error message says itunes couldnt be configured
I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please.
Generate the error message again. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.
Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.

Inability of the staff to deal with the problem in the phone

I bought the experia z1 in February 2014 . The phone was supposed to be waterproof. I used it while standing on a rock againt which waves striked and their were splashes of water. I was cautious that the guard of the charging port was closed. After that the phone was working absolutly fine until it ran out of charge and den switched off. But when i charged the phone and tried to turn it on , the phone didnt switch on at all. I was also simultaneously also using a samsung galaxy s4 there which does not claim anything about being waterproof and is still working absolutely fine. I took my experia z1 to the service centre in jodhpur, india, where the the staff was extremely rude and non cooperative, dey at first even denied dat experia z1 was a waterproof phone . Despite my repeated reminders no action has been taken. The last time i went there, they said they were going to send it to a higher centre as they were not authorised to open the set . I was waiting for the response and aftr 5 days when i called them again to know the progress i was informed that the set hasn't been sent to any higher centre at all, also then i was told that they cannot do anything about the problem. Pls look into the matter..

What's the best way to deal with floating point errors?

What's the best way to deal with the decimal number errors in Flex?
Lets say I have:
var number1:Number = 1.1;
var number2:Number = 1;
var result:Number = number1 - number2;
trace(result);
I get "0.10000000000000009".
What's the best way to deal with this so that i get the right result?
Using the trick: result = Math.round( result * Math.pow(10,13) ) / Math.pow(10,13); is not useful as such when using big numbers.
For example, If number1 = 100000000001.1, and number2 = 0.2, I get "100000000000.90001" as result. The previous rounding fixes rounding errors after 13th decimal, but here the first rounding errors come after 4 digits.
The toPrecision method in Number and NumberFormatter dont seem be of use by themselves because of the same reason.
So I'd have to check how big the number is, and then round the number based on that.
So far I've constructed a method that does that with logarithms like this:
public function floatFix(number:Number):Number{
      var precision:int = 14-Math.floor(Math.log(Math.abs(number))*Math.LOG10E);
      var precisionFactor:Number = Math.pow(10, precision);
      return Math.round(Number(number*precisionFactor))/precisionFactor;
It just seems rather odd that one would have to create and use something like that to just count 1.1-1; There's a lot of calculating in that method, and i'm guessing that having to use that in a loop could slow down a program quite a bit.
I think there really should be a pre-built method in flex for something like this, but I can't find any.
Anyone know any better/faster ways?

Use the application server database pooling services to create a datasource that can be access using JNDI.
Move the database access code to a Servlet so that a JSP submits a form to the Servlet that does the database access and packages the data into a bean which is passed to another JSP to be displayed.

"Built In " battery ... what is the best way to deal with it ?

Hi ... I just bought this laptop envy6-1100se with a built in battery and I actually heard alot of diffrent opinions about the best way to deal with the battery and charging and I don't know what to trust to make my batterylife the longest so hope u can help me with that .. I want to know also if there is any damage to the battery if I kept it plugged to Ac Power even after it's totally charged ... ??

You want to minimize the number of charge/discharge cycles so yes it is actually a real good idea to have it plugged in whenever you can. Just to illustrate, Samsung makes several models with integrated batteries and they actually have a setting in the BIOS where you can choose to cut off charging at 80% battery power. If it never goes above 80%, then discharging and charging below the 80% level never registers as a cycle. The battery has a smart chip that counts cycles. After a certain number, say 500, the battery will no longer work. This is to minimize the fire hazard from older Li-ion batteries. In other words, you trade runtime on a "full" charge for longevity of the battery. You might go from 5 hours to 4 on a single charge but the battery will last 4 years instead of two and a half. The battery can actually be replaced but it is a huge pain. The "Samsung" solution is not available on HP's that I have been able to determine.
So, as I said there is not much you can do except use AC power as much as possible and treat the battery like your life savings; use it sparingly.
And I recognize that when it comes to batteries on laptops, it is like a discussion of religion. There is more than one respectable opinion but this is mine.

How is the best way to deal with duplicate photos

I am using a new retina 27" iMac 16gb ram OS X 10.10.1

What is the best way to deal with duplicates that get in Aperture Vaults
I have used Gemini and it finds duplicates, but I have no way of telling if the original are still there.
I don't want to go through 15000 photos to try to find the duplicate.
Thanks Charlie

You mean - one image in a vault, one in a library? Or duplicates in the same library?
Photo Sweeper can scan several libraries or folders at the same time and display the duplicates side by side to let you pick which to keep. You can define rules to mark photos for automatic deletion as well.

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2.

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2.
I have heard of memory leak in OS that too because of some external application or rouge drivers SQL server 2008 R2 if patched to latest SP and CU ( may be if required) does not leaks memory.
Are you in opinion that since SQL is taking lot of memory and then not releasing it is a memory leak.If so this is not a memory leak but default behavior .You need to set proper value for max server memory in sp_configure to limit buffer pool usage.However
sql can take more memory from outside buffer pool if linked server ,CLR,extended stored procs XML are heavily utilized

What is the proper way to deal with cascading triggers in AcroForms?

(this has already been posted in the Scripting forum. Due to the lack of response, I am coming here to the Land of C/C++ Developers)
What is the proper way to deal with cascading triggers in AcroForms?
My question refers to the forms in which there is a binary question such as:
"Are you interested in travel?"
When the user clicks "Yes", there are further questions whose interactive fields are dot.hidden (or "!"), depending on the answer.
So far, I can handle the 1-level cases fine, but my doubt is how to implement nested dependencies. For the sake of simplicity, I would prefer to define the cause-effect relationship once ("Every time the 'Interested in Travel' box is checked, the field 'International or Domestic' should be visible") and send some sort of message/trigger downstream.
I would like the right things to happen (cascading triggers included) when the "Clear Form" menu command is selected.
Are those desirable features available in JavaScript (the particular JS used by the traditional AcroForms)?
Maybe I should look into C/C++ programming?
TIA,
-Ramon

I guess my problem is that I have some basic college experience in digital circuit design, and would like the forms to be programmed and behave in the same fashion as digital logic.
The "Clear Form" menu item, of course, would be equivalent to the reset button.
Perhaps it is possible to hook my code onto the "Clear Form" menu item?

What is the best way to deal with different audio sample rates on the same timeline ?

what is the best way to deal with different audio sample rates on the same timeline ?

You don't have to do anything special. If possible, start your project with a clip that has the desired target frame rate and audio sample rate, and your project parameters will be set automatically. Other sample rates will be converted under the covers.
For example, if your video is shot at 48khz, you can add music files at 44.1khz with no problem.
If you are recording audio that you want to synch with video (multicam), you will get best results if everything is 48khz, but you can use 44.1 if that is all you have. Once I forgot to reset my Zoom to 48,000 and it still worked.

What's the best way to deal with having different units plotted on the same graph?

They are all using Voltage, so I guess I could have a way to switch between voltage and other units. The main readings will be temperature and strain gage readings, which I've then configured using the Measurement & Automation Explorer as Virtual Channels.
Any ideas/suggestions from people who've dealt with this before?
I'm using Labview 6.1.
Thank you!

I attached an example jpg plot of an application that I had.
I did not necessarily divide the data arrays by their maximum, even though it is an option. In this case 100% equals the maximum.
I divided them by a value that the operator sets(it is defaulted to some value). If that changes, the graphed is replotted, with the new normalized data

My brand new Macbook PRO crashed completely after it went through the iOS 10.7.4 update, I lost everything and Apple just wants to replace the HD and let me deal with the hassle.

Last Thursday May 10th I received a prompt from the Automatic Update to update the iOS to Ver. 10.7.4, set the start and was watching the progress when it stopped with an error message saying that it was not able to update, right below there was a buttom "RESTART", pressed the buttom and waited to re-boot.....That was the end of my computer, somehow the update crashed my HD beyond recover, it would only show the gray screen with Apple logo in the center and kept beeping, BEEP BEEP BEEP.....PAUSE.....BEEP BEEP BEEP.....PAUSE.....on and on and on and it never past that.
Friday May 11 I took it to a retailer where I received the bad news that the HD was crashed and the teck couldn't even try to copy anything from it as it couldn't locate it. I checked iCloud on a hope that all my stuff would be there but new surprise, iCloud didn't kept all of my stuff as it was programmed to.
Now here is the funny part, the tech from the retailer informed me that the only thing they could do was to order a new HD for my 4 months old Macbook and that the time to have my computer back will be at least 15 days, now that is the funny part, I fail to understand why do I have to suffer the hassle of loosing all my data plus wait at least 15th days to have my computer back (meanwhile loose work) on a problem caused by Apple, PROBLEM, not machine defect, clearly my computer had no problem untill I followed the procedure to update.
On Saturday May 12 I contacted Local Apple Support (I have failed to mention that I live in Brasil) and they informed me that what the dealer said was the only thing that could be done, too bad for me if I lost everything, going to loose several days of work and whenever I receive my computer back will have to re-construct all my life and deal with the forever lost data.....DEAL WITH IT
After a couple of discussion with Apple Support and the Dealer, I made my decision to take the Macbook to the dealer today for repair and meanwhile I'm opening a case with the Brazilian Justice to have Apple honor with all the trouble and hassle that it is causing me, it's said that I have to take this type of action as I'm a very fan of Apple and it's products, have had several iPods, iPhones, Macbooks, Keyboards, Mouses, Apple TV, etc.....This i the first time I have a problem with a Apple product and got a taste of the "Apple Care", it seems like Apple is more concerned on seeling products then keeping long time customers happy.
One last thing, today when I was at the dealer to drop my computer for repair, the Technician informed me that he also had a computer crashed and the HD erase on Sunday May 13th in the same way of mine, after the update everything was gone, also he said that we were not the only ones, iPads and iPhones were going trough the same situation, update causing complete breakdown.
WORD OF ADVISE, BE 1000% SURE THAT YOU HAVE EVRYTHING BACKED UP BEFORE YOU GO THROUGH AN UPDATE.

That's exactly what Time Machine does for you. It backs up every hour, so you don't have to. While it is backing up, you keep on working. Time Macvhine came with your Mac and you chose not to use it.
The 10.7.4 update did not cause your hard disk to fail. Hard disk fail due to mechanical causes. They are extremely reliable, but that doesn't mean every hard disk will last a long time. Your mileage WILL vary!
If you are dependent on your computer and the data stored on it, then you should make sure you have AT LEAST two copies of all data and probably three or four. You should use at least two means of backing up in case the backup software has a problem. And you should consider having a backup computer if you live in an area where replacement takes too long (whatever too long is for your business).
Apple hardware and software is very, very good. You have documented your experience of this. But NO hardware or software is perfect. You also have experience of this.
It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your system is set up to protect your data and availability of computing resources.

Advice needed: The way to solve out of memory problem (or the way to work with big csv files)

Hello:)
I'm in trouble: I have a big csv file (over 5gb of web-analytics data) and my 64 bit excel (and 6gb ram)
I cant load file to data model because of it's size. There is an error "out of memory" in power query.
This is the first time when I encountered such a problem.
What options do I have to work with such a file? To increase memory in my computer? Would it solve the problem? How much do I need to work with 6gb csv?
Or may be I can upload my data somewhere to azure and work with it there?
So the problem - is there any way to deal with big files using power query? Or I need to become a developer and learn sql or other languages?
Thanks in advance.
Max

Hi Miguel!
Thanks for your answer.
I've tried to load this file on virtual pc from azure cloud with this config:
I have increased memory limit in power query settings:
And still, the proble is the same:

What's the deal with the CC menubar panel?

What's the deal with the CC menubar panel? The tab to the apps are gone -- looks like it wants me to update the panel itself rather than list my installed apps. I've been on CC for about a month, is this common? Thankfully I can still open all apps normally, but the internet seems to think the "CC Way" is a horror show.
Do you guys have trouble after updating the updater? All this talk of running "the cleaner" (a mafia term?) and reinstalling everything with each version bump is kinda scary. It could be that people only post online when things go wrong, and 95% of people update just fine. But since I'm new I guess I'd want some reassurance before committing to a night of Cleaning and Reinstalling...
I'm one of those people who think app updates very 12 to 18 months was just fine (and stable). Would it be harmful to ignore updates for a few months? Lets see, I have a healing brush, smart objects, a blob tool, pretty good 3D in AE, ID seems to handle type pretty well… there's really no reason to update every month is there?
