Why doesn't the dictionary spell colour correctly?

I'm English, I bought my iPhone in England, it's set to English (British) But it STILL tells me there is no U in colour or rumor or honor oar anything else. It tells me I spell everything incorrectly like aluminium just because I put all the letters in the word because I'm NOT american. Is there any way of getting an ACTUAL English dictionary for this thing instead of an American one? People spell badly enough as it is, without phones correcting already perfect spelling and swapping it with incorrect spellings! I'll be honest, as I'm sure you have noticed... I'm absolutely infuriated by this! Please can it be sorted out somehow!?

oar
Sp... Sorry couldn't resist, Canadian humour.
I set my iMac to British and it's correcting as it's supposed to, but you're right, when I set the iPhone to British, it's trying to revert to color, etc.
I'm going to play around some more with this and file a bug. You can file to:

Why doesn't the iPhone organise music correctly?

I am running iTunes 10.7(21) on a 2011 iMac. I have an iPhone 5 on iOS6. I have never been able to correctly organise my music on the phone. Compilation albums showing up 100 times, with all 100 songs in each instance of the album... etc. I am no longer adding compilation ablums because I can't get them to display correctly. Shame.. Anyway.
With the iPhone 5, i added a load of music, and realised some of it was *missing*. It would show up under "Songs", with all tag info (artist, album track name), but the same tracks would not be listed under "Artist". All track info is immaculate.
I wiped all the music, and now have just begun re-adding it all. I have 3 Artists on there so far, and they all show up. Tapping on an artist brings up the one or two albums I have copied on, the tracks play. However if I try to view all albums, only one album apprears to be on the entire phone.
I sold my prefectly organised 160Gb iPod when I got the new iPhone.. Not happy that I can't get everything the way I want it on the iPhone!
Also how difficult is it to get artwork to add to an album properly!! I spend way too much time swearing at iTunes.
Anyone with any help or advice, I'd love to hear it!
Thanks. Tony

Seems to have worked. I think. The album has copied on, all 100 songs show up in iTunes and on the iPhone under "Songs". But in the album or compilations list it is not there? Frustrating as the files are obviously on the phone, they just don't show up where they are supposed to.
As for the artwork, it's just hit and miss. Sometimes perfect, other times it doesn't sync over. Can't seem to work out what causes the difference. It updates and syncs, then there is no change on the phone. Beats me!
It was so easy to organise music on an iPod classic. Compilations were all under the right heading, artwork copied every time, it was heaven! This is just rediculious. I know my way around a computer!
electronicsguy; I have Group By Album Artist enabled, and now all the other (non-compilation) albums are visible.

Why Doesn't The App Store Display Correctly on my MBP?

Ever since OS updates were included in the App Store, I noticed that product icons never fully load on the storefront. I'm always having to reload the page to get everything to display properly and sometimes that doesn't work! Hey, Apple... fix your store or I'll be using my Windows 7 Virtual Machine more often!
The Mac App Store rating...

It doesn't sound like an Apple issue but rather one about your user profile.
I have a few apple comptuers running the same OS, and they have no issue. As the iApps store, is an internet store, other people in your area would also be having the same issue if it was the iApps store that was causing the problem.
Try some basic troubleshooting on your computer to see if it helps.

Why doesn't the iPad have a guest screen like the PC for extra security?

I just want to start off first by saying I just purchased my iPad about six months ago and I'm really enjoying it,but if you're like me,I believe in protecting my privacy.
I don't like to turn down any of friends or coworkers when I'm asked to use my iPad,but when you have such things as your personal pictures,movies,music,business documents,etc...you'd like to keep them from prying eyes. I thought that with the new iOS 7 update,that issue would've been fixed, but I was wrong. I'm hoping Apple would correct this problem with the next iOS update,it would make a lot of loyal Apple consumers & anyone who's new to purchasing the iPad for the first time very happy to know that feature is available.
Why doesn't the iPad offer a guest screen?

Why Doesn't the XIRR function work?

In Excel if you have 5 records from a1:b5 then XIRR looks like this:
XIRR(A1:A5, B1:B5) you get a nice neat answer like .35
Here is a version that works in Crystal that would require manual entry of any new quarters numbers and dates-- and if you plug this into Crystal it works:
(XIRR([1000000,-100000,-100000,-100000,-100000,10277.49,-100000], [DateValue(1999,2,1),DateValue(1999,3,1),DateValue(1999,6,1), DateValue(1999,12,1),DateValue(2000,3,1),DateValue(2000,6,1),DateValue(2000,9,1)]))*.100
You do get a nice answer of something like .035. But this is all done manually and I need it to function automatically when the report is refreshed.
So you have a range for the currency and a range for the date fields. I need to simulate this in crystal. Crystal has an XIRR function, and with the arrays, I should be able to fill in the range, but am having difficulty getting it to work.
After building the arrays, I made another formula to combine the arrays in the XIRR formula.
I am down to this error now after getting this formula this far --
"Numerical method did not converge; try another value for guess."
Here's where I am with the formula, although they don't want to use the guess part of the XIRR function - they just want to use the XIRR(number/currency, date). Maybe you could pass this on too?:
/{@Reset} for the group header (NOT using a repeated group header):
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x := 0;
datevar array y := date(0,0,0);
numbervar i := 0;
numbervar j := 0;
//{@accum} for the detail section:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x;
datevar array y;
numbervar i := i + 1;
numbervar j := count({table.groupfield},{table.groupfield});
if i <= j then (
redim preserve x[j];
redim preserve y[j];
x<i> := tonumber({table.currency});
y<i> := datevalue({table.datetime})
//{@xirr calc} to be placed in the group footer:
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar array x;
datevar array y;
xirr(x,y)
The array works correctly. So why do I get that error and why doesn't the XIRR formula work like they say it should? Has anyone used this successfully in Crystal--maybe you could shed some light?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am receiving that same error when the last item in the array is 0, otherwise all works perfectly.
When I run the same group of numbers and dates in Excel it returns without issue.
-265500.00,-690000.00,-570000.00,16814.25,-855000.00,-619500.00,55293.46,30411.40,15183.76, 0.00
01-25-2007,03-06-2007,05-02-2007,06-29-2007,08-01-2007,08-24-2007,09-17-2007,03-14-2008,05-28-2008,03-31-2010
=XIRR(A2:J2,A1:J1,-0.1)
Is there a known bug in Crystal's XIRR function when the last value is 0?
Or a hot-fix that will repair this?
Thanks in advance,
Gary
PS. I am using Crystal XI Product Version: 11.0.0.2495

At first I was not sure what you were asking. After looking more closely, I think I can answer your question.
First of all, you need to initialize your shift register. This is the array of Boolean results. The first time through it works OK, but subsequent runs are also added on instead of replacing the results, even though you used a local to "clear" the array first.
You are adding 2 to the iterations and indexing on the new number. This is a so that you skip the first two "bad" values. Therefore, you only have 13 data points and should only be running the FOR loop 13 times. Change the FOR loop count constant to 13 (or get the array size and subtract 2 and wire it in if the number of tests is variable).
Also, there is an 'In Range a
nd Coerce' node that will perform the two tests and the AND all in one node. This was not an error, of course, but it does make it a bit easier to read.

Why doesn't the cloud sync my calendars?

Why doesn't the cloud sync my calendars?

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Why doesn't the App store recognise that I already have Facetime installed and want me to repurchase it?

For some reason the Apple servers are having an issue retaining the bank card's CVV code (three digit security code) in the payment method area. Every time I run into an issue, whether in the iTunes Store or the Mac App Store, when I check my account info the CVV code has been missing every time!
Try resolving the problem from iTunes, you have more access to your account details in iTunes. Sometimes it seems that when there is a problem with incorrect or incomplete information regarding your method of payment the Mac App Store's warnings get confusing.
Open iTunes, enter the iTunes Store, then log in and review your account information. Make sure that the billing address is correct and that if needed, the CVV code, the three digit security code from your bank card, is correct. On your way out reset the notifications.

Why doesn't the CC app work properly?

I've been using Creative Cloud for some time now and am really loving it, however I must say it is a source of annoyance that the Creative Cloud app just doesn't work properly.
Firstly, I used it initially to download all my apps, then after an update those apps no longer appeared in the "Apps" list. Now only those that have been installed since that update appear in this list. Why doesn't the "Apps" list display all of the Adobe CC apps that I have installed on my computer?
Why does it keep reinstalling fonts? I'm always getting "Lush Script Regular" and other fonts being added.
It regularly comes up telling me that Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro need to be updated, but always I get an error, then the update request disappears.
I'm regularly getting 4 files that it can't sync - even though they are the same files as others in the folder. If nothing else, why can't I say "Great, got the message". Also, why is the error message just "due to server error" with no advice on how to resolve it? Why is there a server error on only these 4 files?
It seems to me there are still some teething issues with the CC app, but what I don't understand is why they aren't being resolved much faster, given that this is the portal to the service.
Of course, given Adobe I doubt I'll get satisfactory answers – a little jaded with their responses. Anyway, thought I'd at least post the questions.

Questapo I am sorry you have been facing difficulties with your Creative Cloud experience. I don't believe it will be possible to address all of your concerns in one discussion. I would not be surprised if at least three of the issues are related to the same root cause.
First in order for the applications to be visible are you regularly needing to delete the OPM.db file? You can find this listed as solution 2 in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

Why doesn't the location information in an iCal meeting show up on my iPhone, when it does show up in iCal?

Why doesn't the location information show up on my iPhone 4S calendar when I accept an invitation to a meeting?
The other information such as the date, time and invitees all show up on the iPhone, while in iCal all the information including the Location field is showing up.

If it won't charge you probably need to try a different dock to usb cable. More information on troubshooting this is available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591.

thanks for the reply. You prompted me to check and I realised it wasn't installed on my test laptop and opening in Microsoft Reader. I've installed it now and it works.
My next challenge is to prevent the mailto: command opening Microsoft Mail instead of Outlook, but I guess every user will have a different default.
Thank you

Without more information, speculation is a waste of time. At the least tell us what you do, what the results are, and how that result differs from your expectation. Then tell us what steps you have taken to resolve the issue, and what the results of taking those steps was.

I have Adobe Reader X in Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Adobe PDF show up as a printer in my Hardware/Printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers? And how?

Adobe Reader - FREE - reads PDF files, prints them, fills forms.
Adobe Acrobat - $$ - as Reader, and makes PDFs and edits them, sorta, and does a bunch more.
So if you had Acrobat try and find the license to avoid having to pay again...

Why doesn't the sd card or the usb connect to my mac ????

why doesn't the sd card or the usb connect to my mac plzzzz help meeeeeeeeeee

The reason no one has replied is that you posted in a little-viewed forum for an obsolete Apple software suite. I am asking the Hosts to move you to the MacBook Air forum.
Also these forums are NOT chat rooms so you will seldom get an instant answer. No one here works for Apple; we are end users like you who volunteer on a time-available basis to help our fellow Mac users. Patience is required here.
