What exactly was the recent update supposed to do?

I just recently got this phone. It's my first smartphone, actually. But when activated, it was downloading the most recent update. Now, I read somewhere that this update was supposed to a lot of things for the phone, including fixing the bug that makes you receive duplicate messages. Well, I just received 4 texts from my friend saying Hey. I asked her if she sent it 4 times, and she said no. So, did the update not fix this problem? My expectations for a smartphone aren't too high, considering I had just upgraded from an LG Cosmos, but I at least expect problems to be fixed when new updates are released... I used to love LG phones, but right now, I'm not too thrilled with this one...

Hi there! I'm sorry you haven't seen the benefits of the recent software update! You can see the list of benefits online: http://bit.ly/vutR3O. I would be happy to assist with the duplicate messages you've been receiving! Does this happen with one or two specific contacts? Do they have you listed in their phone as a 10 digit number (Not 7 or 11 digit)? Also, are you using any third party text apps like handcent, etc? Please keep me posted with more info so I can help!
Thanks,

What exactly are the updates good for on an ipod

I ask because mine is windows format, and im having trouble transferring all the metadata off my ipod with senuti to a back up so that i can reformat the ipod to mac and then sync in my senuti backed up library. I was wondering if anyone knows what exactly are the updates that you get. my ipod is 1.2 5thgen.
If i were to have the latest update would i be able to see album cover art view when the ipod is plugged into itunes? I noticed that i can see that view in library mode but not in ipod mode. (my pod isnt synced)...
so what are these updates good for?

hey thanks for your reply.
I do have it set to manual and i can see the art on the ipod by itself, but even with manual transfer itunes wont let me view the artwork modes unless i am playing off my computers library (which doesn't have the songs on my ipod on it). I called apple earlier today and some tech support guy claimed that itunes does not support this feature. Is this correct? can anyone out there see artwork modes on an unsynced ipod through itunes?

Is anyone having trouble with there sounds on there iPad since the recent update? Anyone know what to do about it?

Anyone having trouble with the sounds on your iPad since the recent update this morning. Do you know had to fix it?

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

I wish I could remember what exactly happenned the last time I upgraded iphoto years ago, but something

I wish I could remember what exactly happenned the last time I upgraded iPhoto years ago. Did my address book go kaflooey? But whateverit was, it discouraged me from any updating eversince. Believe it or not, I have been limping along with Iphoto 6.0.6 and basically faring fine, given my needs. But I would now like to be able to order prints from my photo library -- and you can't do that any longer with 6. So my question is: what are the things that
can go wrong with the later systems? And is there any way around having that happen?

Make a back up.
Make a second.
Upgrade. Get on with your life.

What exactly is the auto letterbox and pillarbox option?

Can't find any reference to that preference in the help file. Can someone define exactly what that option does?
I'm guessing its affecting a project I'm working on. I just imported about 40 minutes of footage from a mini-DV camcorder. The person who shot it must have turned on one of those fake widescreen effects in the camcorder because the footage has black bars on top and bottom. Anyway, after the tape was finished importing iMovie put up a status box stating: "Letterboxing - Please wait this may take a while." Well its been about 2 hours now and its still not finished. I'm not even sure what the heck its doing.
Thanks,
Chris

What exactly is the advantage of VPN?

I work in an architectural office of about 15 people. We've always had access to our wiki, files and calendars when out of the office.
Currently we have a Standard setup of Leopard Server with the following services: iChat (using just a private local domain), iCal (with all calendars delegated to one another), AFP file server (3 different groups) and Wiki Server.
What exactly would the advantage be to us of VPN, over simply connecting to a file server via "Connect to Server...", accessing our Wiki via the office IP address, and subscribing directly to our calendars from home?

VPN: Virtual Private Network.
Virtual: implemented without needing specific hardware; uses existing networking hardware and connections. Non-virtual ("real" or "physical") private networks typically involve dragging network wires around or broadcasting signals of your own, or leasing T1 or SONET lines and other such gear from a communications vendor.
Private: A private network is (preferably) difficult to eavesdrop from the open WiFi at the coffee shop, easier to control access. Non-private networks are also known as open networks, and that ftp or telnet or imap/pop password you just entered can be read by others on the same network. That, and the entire contents of the mail messages you have sent and received over the open network are also accessible.
Some private networks are less secure than others. The WEP-based security provided by some WiFi networks is now usually considered to be analogous to a wide-open WiFi; WEP is quite weak, and tools to break it are widely available. WPA is rather better here, and anyone using WEP should move to WPA, or better. (qv: the TJX credit card data exposure was reportedly due to the use of WEP.)
Most VPNs also have some form of authentication; a certificate, smartcard or token card, or other such challenge. Passwords are one of the weakest mechanisms here, but there are VPNs that use just passwords.
+I guess too, there is some additional functionality added. For instance if you're logged into the VPN with a work laptop, presumably if you update your server-based calendar it will update the server as well.+
No. A VPN is and should be assumed nothing more than a network connection. The difference is in the degree of privacy provided. Beyond the encryption and authentication typically inherent, VPNs do not add application-level features over what an open network connection might provide.
An ssh tunnel is a specific form of VPN, and does reasonably well at providing security and at avoiding exposing your password and your data.
Network: as with open networks, VPNs can be used to allow client systems to access a network, or to bridge two or more networks together. VPNs can also provide a reasonable way to manage the connections between these networks, or a client connecting into a network. For the purposes of discussing connectivity, a VPN is another form of a network connection.

What exactly is the difference between enqueue,latch & lock

Can someone explain in simple words (with example if possible) what exactly is the difference between enqueue,latch & lock?
I have gone through documentation & other links,but just not able to figure out the exact & clear difference between these three..
Cheers,
Kunwar

In addition to links provided by Sb and nice explanations by Aman, i would like to add below :
1.Latches and enqueues are lightweight serialization devices used to coordinate multi-user access to
shared data structures, objects and files.
Latches are locks that are held for extremely short periods of time, for example the time it takes to modify
an in-memory data structure. They are used to protect certain memory structures, such as the database
block buffer cache or the library cache in the shared pool (as described in Chapter 2, Architecture). Latches
are typically requested internally in a ‘willing to wait’ mode. This means that if the latch is not available,
the requesting session will sleep for a short period of time and retry the operation later. Other latches may
be requested in an ‘immediate’ mode, meaning that the process will go do something else rather than sit
and wait for the latch to become available. Since many requestors may be waiting for a latch at the same
time, you may see some processes waiting longer than others. Latches are assigned rather randomly, based
on the ‘luck of the draw’, if you will. Whichever session asks for a latch right after it was released will get it.
There is no line of latch waiters, just a ‘mob’ of waiters constantly retrying.
Oracle uses atomic instructions like ‘test and set’ for operating on latches. Since the instructions to set
and free latches are atomic, the operating system itself guarantees that only one process gets it. Since it
is only one instruction, it can be quite fast. Latches are held for short periods of time and provide a
mechanism for clean-up in case a latch holder ‘dies’ abnormally while holding it. This cleaning up
process would be performed by PMON.
Enqueues are another, more sophisticated, serialization device, used when updating rows in a database
table, fro example. They differ from latches in that they allow the requestor to ‘queue up’ and wait for
the resource. With a latch request, the requestor is told right away whether they got the latch or not.
With an enqueue, the requestor will be blocked until they actually attain it. As such, they are not as fast
as a latch can be, but they do provided functionality over and above that which a latch can offer.
Enqueues may be obtained at various levels, so you can have many ‘share’ locks and locks with various
degrees of ‘shareability’.

What exactly des the HT multiplier affect?

Hi guys.
I recently built a new rig with the K8N Neo2 Platinum primarily based on Anandtech.com's review of it. I've been trying to overclock my system that I built but believe I fried my ram somehow while doing it. Which I still don't understand as Anandtech did some reviews with my ram on this board and were able to get a lot more out of it than I was at.
At any rate my question is:
What exactly does the HT multiplier affect in the bios settings?
Some overclockers have said if you get your fsb over 260 you need it at 3x and if less than that at 4x. I'm assuming this has something to do with your ram but I'm not sure. If someone could shed some light on this I would appreciate it!
Thanks

HTT (or HT):
HTT (HyperTransportTechnology) is what the Athlon 64 uses as sort of an fsb, the complete story is above so I won't tell it all here. The HTT is the link between the CPU and the Chipset, that runs at a certain speed. The A64 systems get a lot of advantage out of this fast connection. Here are the speeds for the different chipsets:
VIA K8T800pro/nForce4: HTT Multiplier: 5, Actual speed at 200Mhz: 1Ghz
VIA K8T800/nForce3 250: HTT Multiplier: 4, Actual speed at 200Mhz: 800Mhz
nForce3 150: HTT Multiplier: 3, Actual speed at 200Mhz: 600Mhz
Note that any speed above 800Mhz is pretty much overkill, you don't need it because you simply have too little devices to use all the bandwidth. In fact, the 600Mhz of the nForce3 150 hardly gives it a disadvantage, its just not being used...

Before the recent updates to Firefox, clicking on the back button always brought me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page. How do I restore the previous feature?

Before the recent updates to Firefox, when I would go to another page in the same window and then clickon the back button, Firefox used to bring me back to the same place on the page where I had been, but now it brings me to the top of the page, meaning that I have to laboriously scroll down to the old place. How do I restore the previous feature?

That change was made in Firefox 4, 6 months ago.
Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button <br />
or <br />
right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored. <br />

I have an iPhone 4S I have done the recent update 6.1 and now my App Store is not working when I go into the feature tab I get an error " too many HTTP redirects" how do I fix this ? The other tabs are working and it is working on my iPad also

I am having a problem getting into the App Store on my iPhone since the recent update, I have a 4s and it appears the feature tab is not working. When I try to go into the feature tab in the App Store I get a message "too many HTTP redirects" ?... Does anyone now hoe to fix this issue, the other tabs are working okay and everything is working on my iPad ?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

What exactly is the issue with CS5 and the retina display?

Just picked up a late 2013 MBP with retina display and have PS CS5 running on it.
What is the exact issue that I should be having when it comes to running CS5 on these machines ? Is it just that the UI looks fuzzy? Other than that it seems to run fine and my photos look fine also.

What issue?"

After the recent update I am having issues with Flash based games freezing and not responding.

After the recent update I am having issues with flash based programs not running or loading correctly. The programs will not load or take an extremely long time to load compared to jsut a few days ago. This happens across the board on anything flash based. Also, once they do load they will freeze, stop responding or need to be constantly refreshed to come back alive which is short lived at best. I went thru the help and did all the file deleting, cache clearing, disabling hardware acceleration, removing then reinstalling flash, and even removing and reinstalling my browsers. None of this has helped at all. I am using Chrome and it is up to date and I checked my Flash player and it is up to date. I am running windows 7 64bit.

Here's what you're up against guys,
Adobe writes the base code for Flash Player, and then hands it off to Google, who adapt it to a PPAPI plug-in (it's NPAPI when Adobe writes it). It's then "PepperFlash" and Google embeds it in their Chrome browser. While Google is pushing a "webwide" move to PPAPI Flash Content, a reinvention of the wheel so to speak, not everyone "got the memo", and Google is slowly making it so that PepperFlash will block NPAPI Flash content from running properly, and you have to disable PepperFlash to force the NPAPI plug-in to work, which sometimes fixes it, sometimes not. I have a feeling this is only going to get worse. HTML5 will eventually resolve the video end but game developers need to come up with something that won't require a plug-in.
And to the first post: Since PepperFlash is embedded in Chrome by Google, you can uninstall and reinstall Flash Player from here until your hard drive literally seizes up.... guess what? It has NO EFFECT at all on the PepperFlash plug-in in Chrome because it's a separate file in a separate folder and the uninstaller & installers don't have anything to do with it.

Any suggestions?

The restriction passcode is not necessarily the same as the device passcode.
The restriction passcode can not set itself. It had to be set by you or by someone with physical access to your phone..
Ask the person/people you live with if they set one... A spouse, a parent, a jealous boy/girlfriend, etc.
If they deny it, and you don't know what it is, then the only thing you can do is restore the phone using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restriction settings are contained in the backup.
