What did 4.0.4 do for you?

Finally got my update, I have had it almost 20 hours and I am trying to figure out what it was supposed to do. Screen orientation issue is fixed but that was the least of my problems. I am still operating at -115 dbm. So signal strength issue not fixed. Bars do display differently but the dbm strength (the real indicator) is exactly the same. Call quality has not improved at all, in fact it may be worse. It has a different sound that is more muffled instead of the robotic sounds. Still have tons of background clicks and squeals etc. I am trying to patient as I have been for the last almost six months but it doesn't appear that the update has helped in the ability to use the GNEX as a phone. I'd love to hear from others, what did 4.0.4 do for you?

I have had the update since Saturday. I get much longer connection times to the 4g. It also switches off a little better. I still have issues with it dropping the signal as soon as I start a phone call and try to send a txt message. So I went to the store today and a Tech told me it was a sim card issue. So he changed the sim card and said your all set. I walk out of the store try to make a call........no signal. 10 feet outside the store. I walk right back in and show him no signal. He changes it again and said it must have just had luck of getting two bad sim cards in a row. So I get another one. Leave the store and about 10 minutes into a phone call it happens again. I am going to give this another day or two and if I have to go back in I am going to demand a droid maxx. I am over this ipod touch trying to disguise itself as a phone. Oh yea he also told me I should just leave the phone on 3g most of the time and only change it back if I need to download or stream something. If that is the case why even have 4g at all?

I've got 4 Creative .mp3 players: 52 Mb MuVo TX FM, 5 Gb Zen Micro, 8 Gb Zen MicroPhoto and a 20 GB Zen Sleek Photo.
I probably use the 5 Gb Zen Micro the most, as that's the one I have in my car. It was the first Creative .mp3 player that I bought. I like it best for the car, even though its capacity is smaller than the ZMP or Sleek Photo because its LCD screen is always readable even when the backlighting is off, unlike the OLED screens on the ZMP & Sleek Photo.
The MuVo TX FM is nice for outdoor activities and can hold enough music for an afternoon at the beach. There's always the FM radio in case I run out of fresh tunes and having a couple of spare NiMH AAA batteries along keeps the music playing.
The Zen Sleek Photo has pretty much bumped my Zen MicroPhoto out of contention. I use it in the house, hooked up to my Creative Megaworks 550 5. speaker system.
I keep the ZMP in the TravelDock Zen now and have it on my other computer's desk.
I chose my Zen Micro over the iPod mostly for the user replaceable battery and FM radio and my dislike of iTunes. I've had almost zero problems with it and it's over 2 years old, used daily. It's the one that convinced me to buy more Creative products.

How long did it take to download for you on the Macbook pro? Mine's only at 1.38 GB and been going for 3 hours.

On a very slow wifi connection at my University, but I'm just wondering for a rough estimate.

what is your advertised download rate from your ISP?
when it completes downloading, Do not install right away!
before you install, make sure you have a time machine copy of your Lion setup saved to an external source. This will be useful.
then you should go the Disk Utility and select the Disk Drive that has Lion on it, Verify and Repair your disk and permissions and then go to applications folder and right click the installer app for ml.
Find a file called InstallESD.dmg and save a copy of it to your computer. This will save you the trouble of having to install it from mas again, should you have to reinstall Mountain Lion or install it on another computer.

XP 64 users what version of firefox works best for you

xp64 is not supported and never has been, outside of that some versions of firefox work quite well with this OS, looking to find which version has proved to be most successful with minimal operational problems.

Firefox is not compatible with XP-64. Use Opera, you should be fine. I don't think Opera runs as 64-but native though, but at least it works.

Words/Phrases That Throw Up Red Flags for You

I was working on an issue in the PrPro Forum (this THREAD), and the word "hacked" came up. I assume that the user had flashed his firmware in his camera to attain some feature, that it was not originally intended to have. This got me to thinking about terms that throw up red flags, or just make you uncomfortable. In my case, the word "hack" has all sorts of very negative connotations. That does show my age, and probably a bit of my mind-set. I began to reflect on other such terms and came up with a few:
Hacked
Matrox
Dazzle
Memorex
MKV
DivX/Xvid
ACC Audio
MP3
Warez
Keygen
"I'm a poor student and can't really afford PrPro... "
"Borrowed from a friend... "
"The dog ate my media and my S/N, and can you FTP me the... " (Hey, I have Bulldogs, so if any canine would eat something, it would be a Bulldog - never had this issue)
CODEC pack
FFDShow
Partitions
SSD (but that is easing up a lot, and will probably disappear from the list in a generation, or two)
Pentium D
1GB RAM
Intel embedded graphics chip
"I don't care what Harm says... "
SLI/Crossfire
"1 HDD with 5GB free... "
I'll even start Jim Simon's list, just to save him some typing:
Commas,,,,,,
Elemental streams
"Point and shoot camera"
HDD camera
iPhone
Flip camera
Cellphone camera
Lipstick camera
Rod's Snake-cam
"I only have a BA in video production, and did not finish my Masters... "
Divx/Xvid - as above
Apple_____ (really anything in the blank)
For Rod:
Package from Hunt
Scary snakes
"4K RED footage in CS3 with 4GB RAM... "
"Gooseneck mic stand... "
"Duck tape... "
And for Dave:
What throws up the red flags for you?
Blizzard warning!
Hunt

Great list so far! Here are my additions...
"We need to use every available resource"
"Not enough money"
"My budget is blown for this year" (which doesn't end until June 30th!)
"Hey y'all, watch this!" (Typical Redneck line, usually shouted just before the friends call for the coroner...)
"City units, stand by for tones" (what they say over the radio before they drop tones telling us we have a fire somewhere here in town)
"AVCHD"
"David, can you teach my class?"
"Our iMac's are having trouble"
"Can you rip this DVD and re-edit it and then put it on Vimeo in HD?"
"overdraft"
I'm sure I can come up with more, but my brain's a bit fried right now from starting at 7:30 this morning...

Thank you. I already have that checked. After an update, it started doing this. Preferences> Display>Page Content & Info > Show large images is checked.
It is almost like a protection on the document that grays out all the content.

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

When syncing my iPhone with iTunes, I get the error, "some items did not sync, see itunes for help", but can't find any helps for this in iTunes. Where can I find out what is not syncing?

When syncing my iPhone with my iPhone, I get a message that 2 items did not sync - use iTunes for help.
But I can't find any help information in iTunes at all, let alone when items are not syncing.
How do I figure out what is not syncing?

Since it seems App related, I'm not sure what to offer you. I guess the only suggestion I have is for you to reboot your iPad and then try again. To reboot, hold the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You won't lose any settings or data, so it's worth a shot.

HT202696 What happens if Apple Support expires for a product? Does it mean there is no more help available and you are on your own just because you have an older Apple product?

We have a family of Apple products at home, and with every new one, we learn a new aspect of the Apple Life. After switching to iPhone 5S and struggling between some applications, I've decided it is time to upgrade rest of my older devices requesting an IOS Upgrade to 8.1.2 for weeks.
My older iPhone 4 didn't have an upgrade, which was not advanced enough anymore to carry a new software, this I understand. The upgraded iPod Touch and iPad Mini don't seem to have any problems with the recent changes so far. However, the older iPad (2) we had is messed up, just like many other people's as mentioned on the pages of these discussion groups. According to these user comments / complaints, it is obvious that upgrading to IOS 8.1.2 was not the right option to older version iPads just like it was not for iPhone 4; actually it shouldn't be an option in the first place.
On my previous problems with iPhone 5S, I've come to realise the practicality & functionality of the Apple Support system when contacted directly, instead of going through many discussion pages of people with same or similar problems where everybody is asking but just a few is replying. So, I wanted to give it a try to find a solution to my recent problems with iPad, but this time Apple Support pages replied with "Technical Support & Service Coverage are both Expired" message.
First, I did not know that Apple supported its users personally, and I loved it. Maybe this is because I didn't have previous problems with my old iPhone and iPad. Especially the Apple Support - Chat option I preferred, where I got help step-by-step from Apple operators. And then, I did not know that this service support was only for my devices until an expiration date, and this did not please me much.
Can anyone enlighten me on how to receive any response from Apple about what to do with problems of an old Apple device?

And as far as paying for phone support, here are a few tips:
If you call your carrier first and then they route you to Apple, you usually don't have to pay for phone support.
If you are talking to Apple and they ask you to pay a support fee, ask if you can get an exception this time. That usually works once, but they keep track of the times you've been granted such an exception.
If you still end up paying the support fee, that fee only applies if it's not a hardware related issue. In other words, if it can be fixed by just talking over the phone and following Apple's instructions, then the fee applies. But if your device is deemed to have a hardware failure that caused the issue, then the fee should not apply, and you can ask for it to be waived after the fact.
This forum is free, and almost all of the technical support articles the Apple tech advisors use are available on this website. Literally 99% of what they can do over the phone is just walking you through the publicly available support articles. In other words, you're paying the fee to have them do your research for you. It's like hiring a research consultant to go look stuff up in the public library so you don't have to. You're capable of doing it; you'd just rather pay someone to do it for you.
It's like Starbucks. You know how to make coffee. Everyone knows how to make coffee. And Starbucks coffee isn't any better than what you could make at home for far less. But you want the convenience. So you're really paying a convenience fee. Milk is more expensive at 7-Eleven than it is at the grocery store... because it's a convenience store.

Hello Pushtheriver,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:

Understanding iOS device capacity
You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

I had microsoft exchange added and when I synced I lost all of my prior contacts. Also, thenames all turned to numbers. Example when you get a text from a contact, their name appeared. Now just a phone number. What did I do wrong and can I get it back?

Since adding microsoft exchange I sunced my phone and lost all of my old contact, notes. etc. Also, when I do get a text message it appears as a number instead of a name. What did I do wrong and can I get my old info restored. When I tried restoring it only gave me the same thing.

That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation. A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number. I suggest you turn iMessage off. In settings/phone turn on dial assist. Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage. Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

In short, firefox was my web browser with a google window. Now, I open the mozilla window only to have google totally dominate the screen. Only for me, not my wife. What did I do, how do I correct???

I was using both firefox/mozilla and google but now when I click
on mozilla it trys to open but google dominates and I can't get into firefox to browse. Yet other users still have the normal screen and no problem. What did I do and how do I correct this problem?
Thanx in advance. Also, is there a cost for this assistance??

First make sure that no application is using or has open any files on the disk. Then:
Click and drag the disk icon on the desktop to the trash. Wait for the system to recognize the action, and the icon should disappear from the desktop. It is then safe to remove the device.
Alternatively, you can secondary click on the disk icon, and then primary click "Eject (name of disk)". Wait for the icon to disappear off the desktop, and then it is safe to remove the drive.
Here is a detailed help document on the subject.
