Wasn't the only reason we moved to Windows Phone i...

Hello Nokia, I've been a costumer of Nokia for a while now (3310) was my first phone.
I loved the N8 in theory and bought it as soon as possible and got over 6 months of waiting for updates that made the phone somewhat usable. in that same time frame other companies announced amazing devices then launched them , it really felt like my phone was out of the synq with whats cool/useful with the constant hangs and bugs.
then came the N9, it was by everymean a complete product on arrival with less bugs than any Nokia i've owned and in the first 3 months, it got all the firmware updates that made the experience amazing and i felt i used the phone to it's full potinitial and never was afraid of openning a certain app or activating NFC or Nokia drive , Never was i worried that i would hook it to a charger and wake up only to find it dead and unresponsive and have to reset the phone ...
Now that I own the Lumia 920 i'm always making a choice between my usage of Games and NFC and my phone not dying on me .
My phone died on me so much this 2 weeks and the only thing i could think of as a reason , is everything worth a damn , if the back of my phone got just a little bit hot , a while later it will die without me noticing.
Yesterday i bought the wireless charging plate from Nokia, i put my phone to take a power nap , and went to sleep , woke up and apparently my phone just swallowed its tounge and died AGAIN , and the battery isn't even fully charged when i woke it up.
Since i live in a Saudi Arabia and the return policy is just 3 days , and since Nokia Care in Saudi would only flash it with the same software.
Nokia , Microsoft is failing you in the one thing you got on board with it , faster updates ...

I've read similar questions and answers, but I am still terrified to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard. The only reason I want to is because I received an iPad which requires an updated system. I have an external hard drive. I have the disks to upgrade

I've read similar questions and have studied the answers, but I am still terrified to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard on my macbook pro. The only reason for doing it is in order to sync my macbook pro with my iPad. I do have an external drive which automatically backs up every hour. BUT.......I am techno-ignorant as well as techno-paranoid. I have the disks to update to snow leopard but knowing doing so may likely change/alter/lose/obliterate my current set-up, it actually makes me feel sick to think of it.
Years ago when updating via Apple Protection Plan tech support, my screen actually went blank, everything gone! The tech told me not to worry, that "we" would be able to restore things, but several hours later I was still looking at a primitive looking screen that wasn't anything like what I had before. His language was too technical, in that there was an assumption I understood things I had zero understanding of. Example: partition my external drive.
Anyway, living hundreds of miles from an Apple service provider, and no Apple techs in my community, I had to wait for a trip to an Apple Store where one of the wonderful guys at the genius bar spent a ton of time getting things back to normal and actually explaining it enough that I had a vague understanding.
So now I am in the predicament again and won't know what to do after installing the new disks and finding a likely mess or absence of documents etc. on my computer. I don't know how to access the external drive, and even if I did I wouldn't know how to move stuff from that to my computer.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm in the same boat as you, I've used Mac's since day one and neglected my Windows education and now it has come to haunt me as I have to learn it like a school kid.
Nearly 99% of all businesses and nearly 95% of everyone use Windows, Steve Jobs declared "The desktop wars are over, Microsoft won" a long time ago.
By 2015 tablets are going to be selling to consumers more than traditional computers, your living proof, you got a iPad.
Apple has already discontinued the Xserver, the Xraid, the MacBooks and the 17" Macbook Pro.
Apple has introduced BootCamp in OS X 10.6 and up, this allows a partition and drivers so one can install Windows on a Mac.
https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Why do you think they named it "BootCamp"
You can't run a older OS X version longterm like you have with 10.5 anymore, Mac's are being targeted for attacks and older OS X versions are dropped for security updates.
In fact your Mac might still be part of the 750,000 Mac strong Flashback botnet or infected.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_BackDoor.Flashback
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/04/how-to-check-forand-get-rid-ofa-mac-flashba ck-infection/
See here, Apple has no security updates for 10.5 users and soon 10.6 is going to be ignored next.
https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1222
1-1.5 years is the OS X upgrade cycle. Change everytime like it or not.
So I'm thinking about your long term future and how you obviously don't like change, need local assistance like it appears you first claimed.
So buy a new Mac and upgrade your OS X version whenever Apple shows it in AppStore.
When your machine can no longer upgrade to the newest OS X version, then you've got about another 2 more years of security updates before you have to buy a new machine or risk running a insecure one.
Learn here how to go about fixing your own machine and creating backups/bootable clones this way your not having to drive several hundred miles for a software or boot drive repair. Simply reverse clone your troubles away.
Most commonly used backup methods
https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro?view=documents
I'm of the maturity and experience that I know a Mac isn't always the best solution for everyone and even Apple doesn't provide the proper hardware, support or features for everyone. Why only store locations in high traffic ritzy areas?
Our SteveJobs fan here is under 18 years old with good eyes, he's not older like we are with bad or failing eyesight.
The new Mac's have hard to see glossy screens and the type/UI can't be scaled up easily to accomadate our older eyes, however a Windows 7 machine does allow up to 150% scale of the UI, type etc., and also there are anti-glare screen PC's and just about no more anti-glare screen Mac's.
I wrote this User tip in case you have trouble seeing the screen, at least you can scale the web browsing up
Web browsing for hard of seeing users
Apple might still be selling the anti-glare 15" non-retina on their online store, it's the "high resolution/anti-glare model"
But I can get a 17" 1080i HD anti-glare Windows 7 laptop at Sager for a lot more performance and screen size for the price than a Mac.
https://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=category_browse&selected_cat=2
Screen size is important as the UI and text can be scaled up for easier reading.
Of course you do now have the option of having Windows pre-installed alongside OS X to begin your transition to the dark side.
Just call and they will accomondate, hold the option/alt key at boot time to swtich operating systems.

Windows 7 looks just as good as OS X, the secret is having a good monitor with most PC's come with don't.
Good Luck and I hope I've given you a lot to think about.

I love my Verizon, yes I really love my verizon that the only reason behind this story

Hi there,
I love my Verizon, yes I really love my verizon that the only reason behind this story but the service made me hate the same Verizon. When I took the Verizon connection I was so happy because I am doing a right thing. but now I feel the same that I have done a wrong thing.
1. Gift Card is reaching me till now.. hope I will get it when my contract ends!!!
I ordered this FiOS service by February and got a offer of 200$ gift card from Best Buy... I am getting the card till now.. no tracking.. no response... whenever I call them the response is really very nice. the call will be on hold for about an hour and then a voice will come then I have to explain the situation for about 20 mins, then he/she find the gift card is delivered to some other address. Then give me a waiting period of 3 weeks. I have waited atleast 5 * 3 weeks, between these period of time atleast 20 calls to you guys.
Don't you think how lucky I am... ha
A GREAT customer service.. which made me so happy. Thank you one and all.
2. Billing Issues:
I took a plan called FiOS freedom bundle offer. It costs $ 94.99 when I ordered, but later I came to know that is excluding taxes, that is fine so the total expected was some where around 105 to 110 $. But how great it worked for me... I haven't paid that less amount till now. see how much I paid till now...
Month Amount
March $189.53
April   $120.07
May   $120.07
June  $113.40
July   $113.39
and now the story begins again...
August $152.83
Whenever I call the customer care to ask clarification they will tell "**this will not be charged from next month". But there will be no answer why that was charged. I never even thought of writing this big story to some one like you but I am really sorry to say if this continues then your business will never endup in success.
Please consider this as me one and only request and do something.
$200 worth of Best Buy gift Card and
Take away all the additional options in my package and give me the bundle offer bill I ordered $94.99 + Taxes. I wont encourage paying not even one dollar more than that.
With lots of worries on my ever best Verizon,
James {personal information removed for privacy}

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since this is a user Forum, James, you'll probably need to contact Verizon again. Contact Us
The only thing I can offer is this link: http://www22.verizon.com/awaitingfreereward/
Good luck and sorry we couldn't be more of a help.

HT1238 Using this process I will not be able to keep any of my music? Because that is the only reason I kept my iPod Shuffle.

Will resetting my iPod erase my music? Because that is the only reason I kept my iPod Shuffle.

Running that utility will erase any music stored on it. An iPod shouldn't be the only place your music is or be considered a backup device.

Qmaster: The only reason to keep my G4

I have been learning the programs of Final Cut Studio for about 4 months now. Until I upgraded to a Dual 2ghz G5 recently, I was using my good 'ole G4 867mhz. I am thinking of selling my G4 to get a new monitor. The only reason I can think of to keep it is to use it for rendering via the qmaster program. Would this even make sense or is it more hassle than it's really worth, given how much slower my G4 is? Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.

We have eight dual G4s which we have configured into a QMaster cluster with G5 as the server. The G5 dual 2.5ghz is fast but you can definately see the additional rendering capabilities of the cluster as each node is tasked and begins it's rendering activities. I can't say that it is as fast as "real time" but I recently converted 114 MOV files to WMV using Compressor 2 and our Qmaster cluster. It took less than 2 hours to run the entire batch. The last time I did this it was an all night job.
Our G4s range in speed from 867ghz to 1.42 ghz speeds. I'm not sure what kind of impact that has but we have also set up a separate GBit ethernet subnet for this "render farm". It is fast enough right now to justify keeping our aging G4s before investing in a hardware rendering solution at a several thousand dollar cost.
Then again I don't need real time rendering either so a slower workflow is oke with us.

I don't know what i need. I'am a mac user but i need to run quick books premier. This is the only software i need in windows 7. Could i have some advise in what is better for me, Bootcamp or parallels

I don't know what i need. I'am a mac user but i need to run quick books premier. This is the only software i need in windows . Could i have some advise in what is better for me, Bootcamp or Parallels

The Intuit rep said they don't "support" QuickbooksPremier on a "virtual machine." Do you know what I risk by using it, anyway? thanks for the advice about Boot Camp vs Parallels, BTW!
I use QuickBooks Pro for Mac, so I haven't had need to try any of the Windows versions in a VM. But I can't think why it wouldn't work. From within the VM, QuickBooks Premier would believe it is operating on PC hardware within Windows.
I would guess they mean that the multiple user support wouldn't work from within the VM. But I would think that would also work. Windows can see the Internet from within the VM, which means it can see your network. So if Windows can see the network, then QB Premier should be able to, too.
I know you can get Parallels as a demo, and maybe you could get QB Premier as trial software. So if you already have a retail copy of Windows to load into a VM, it would only cost you time to test what's possible.

Just downloaded DW CC. Bought expensive book that tells me to use "Expanded Workspace" but the only options I see in window or workspace button are "Design" Extract" and one other. No where can I find "Expand" or "Compact" which the books says are the two

Just downloaded DW CC. Bought expensive book that tells me to use "Expanded Workspace" but the only options I see in window or workspace button are "Design" Extract" and one other. No where can I find "Expand" or "Compact" which the books says are the two choices.

Glad to be of help .
I won't be spending any more money on expensive books now that I know you can't actually get one that applies to the latest version.
Don't get me wrong. I like books. Classroom in a Book series is an excellent resource to have. You will learn a lot from it. Just don't get side-stepped by Creative Cloud's update schedule. No publishing house can keep pace with it. If you stay informed about new releases from Adobe's "What's New" Blogs, you will get your money's worth out of your books. Online Help (F1) is another good resource to use since it is updated fairly often.

I have been trying to put some of my music and artwork, on youtube. Youtube says you need an encoder to upload music. But the problem is the only encoders available are for windows. Please help, thank you

The formats YouTube supports can be found here:
http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=55744
Since YouTube supports AAC, the file format iTunes uses by default, it's probable you don't need any sort of converter.
If you continue to have problems with uploading to YouTube, I'd suggest you ask for assistance in their forums:

I "think" I upgraded to Mountain Lion. The only reason is I need to back up my mac to iCloud. Now I can't find how to do the back up.

Also now I can't hold down the "control" button and use the "wheel" on my mouse to enlarge the page so I can see the **** thing.

Open Accessibility preferences in System Preferences. Click on the Zoom icon in the list:
Set your desired Zoom options in the attached panel:
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
Mac 101- Time Machine
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

Hi, i am using ipad for some dental apps from itunes like Biohorizons but my Biohorizons app doesnt open up on my ipad recently, soon after i click the app it opens n shuts down by itself, the only reason i am using ipad is patient education. help n

HI, please help me use itune App on my ipad, Biohorizins doesnt run on my ipad. Please help

If the iPad is an older model or one of smaller capacity, try fully unloading it before running the app as a test.
Double-tap Home so the list of loaded apps shows up, then terminate all by swiping upwards on each. This does NOT erase anything. Tap Home to finish when the only item left is the home screen. Then do a force-restart by holding down Home and Sleep simultaneously until the screen goes dark and the white Apple logo appears, then wait till it finishes starting up.

This is for Verizon Customer Service: Is there an estimated date for the 8.1 Denim update for Windows Phones?

Will Cyan be rolled out for the Icon, or should we expect to wait until Denim is supposed to be rolled out around October
<< Moderation discussion removed to comply with Verizon Wireless Terms of Service >> This is a very specific question and Verizon Customer Service can't answer it if they don't have a chance to read the question.
I spoke with Microsoft Customer service, and the agent specifically said MS already pushed Cyan to Verizon, and he, as a WP owner on Verizon, was also frustrated that the updates haven't been rolled out by VZW.
So bottom line question: Skipping Cyan? If so, what is the Denim date?
Message was edited by: Verizon Moderator

Unfortunately the answer is unknown. The majority of the Windows phone threads here are about this exact subject, and that says a lot about Verizon and their ability to communicate on a basic level. You might get your update, you may not. Verizon is in control and doesn't really care.

How to change the Button content as CamelCasing in Windows phone 8.1 Message dialog

This was already raised in
Stack over flow, While showing the native Message dialog in Windows phone, i cant change the captions as camel case of command buttons. Is this a bug with windows phone 8.1(WinRT) are is there any workaround to fix this issue?
Sankar

This isn't recommended and violates the system style.
If you want a custom dialog you need to use a different control. The MessageDialog always lower cases the buttons to match the system style and is not generally customizable.
If you use a ContentDialog you can customize it fairly extensively, and it doesn't try to fix the case of its buttons. You'll probably want to create your own ContentDialog class (there's a template under Add.New Item...) with your desired contents, but here's
a quick content-free example:
ContentDialog cd = new ContentDialog();
cd.Title = "My Title";
cd.PrimaryButtonText = "CoNtInUe";
cd.SecondaryButtonText = "sToP";
await cd.ShowAsync();
Also note that the guidelines
for message dialogs suggest using clear and specific verbs rather than generic OK/Cancel.

When is the release date for Firefox on Windows Phone? (Specifically the 'phone of the year' - the Lumia1020). Thank you.

New to the Windows Phone environment (former Apple fanboy/big Android fan)... the Lumia1020 had such an amazing camera, I had to switch. And it's incredible. No regrets so far...I really am surprised how much I like the WP interface... the live tiles/customization is incredible... and they are starting to get all the major apps now (obviously no where near the selection as the competition, but enough of the big ones where I can still function as I did). Sadly though they are still severely lacking in this browser category. Internet Explorer is too slow. Whoever comes to market first - Firefox or Chrome is going to have a monopoly on their hands going forward... I'd highly suggest you get a team of developers and start working on an app as soon as possible. It's a win-win for everyone!
Thank you

Currently there are no plans for a version of Firefox for Windows Mobile.
