Why force the update?!

Now I really feel like I'm being forced by Nokia to switch to a competitor.
For a good while I've been avoiding Ovi suite updates, actually ever since Ovi destroyed my PC and forced me to reinstall everything, and I've been quite happily using the old version and having no issues with it.
But not anymore, ooohh noo! Somebody in Nokia decided that this time it's upgrade or die, Ovi suite doesn't want to start anymore, it's forcing me to upgrade. I can only imagine how that's going to work. Upgrade. Destroy PC. Can't reinstall because the old version forces the upgrade. Buy an iPhone or Android phone.
68 megs of **bleep** to be downloaded, and then we'll see...
Seriously, why are you forcing your remaining few customers to move away from your product?

There must be a reason for Ovi Suite to work at SOME platforms obvioulsy.
Otherwise they would never dare to release it.
But the programming team of Nokia workin on this Ovi Suite is way too amateurish.
I have spent 48 hours with some sleeptime now, trying to install and use this loads of **bleep** app.
Beacuse I wanted to have syncing my 700 contacts.
I made it almost.
Now. A progerammers manager should tell the programmer that there is some demands in design.
1. The app should be installed anywhere without problems.
That means it should NOT be dependant on imaginary files of certian versions existinng in the imagined envronment. Because they never do.
All files needed to make this app installed properly MUST be inside the installer app.
2. The apps position in the environment should preferaly be in ONE directory. (folder)
If you cannot do these simple things, you shoudl not pretend to be a programmer at all.
Nokia seems to be full of these types of guys never understanding what they are dealing with, And the manager is spendig too much time att the Nokia owners golfclub, instead of MANAGING the work.
How did I manage to make this work? 
Well I called the support. "shut off your windows firewall..."  Well it is not active, and has never been. Not any other firewall either. Not any virus program either except for Superantispyware. And Windows Defender which is run in a weekly basis. I have Acronis backups, but never used them. I have Win7 Ultimate (legal copy!!!)
Firewall I have in my modem... Why bother the traffic with more delays? Just because AVG and Norton wants my money?
If the crackers manage to put in some strange thing I usually fix it myself. I have been around PC's since 1984-85 when they first showed up in this country, With 20 mbyte harddrives large as 5.25 inch!!!  =)
So I packed up the OVI installer and ran the install app found in Packages folder. Worked better.
But not wel. So I thought, "these guys had PC Suite installed before they invented this OVI **bleep**"  So I installed the PC Suite first. Okay, ut worked for my old Nokia prety well, but not for the N8..  (duh)   How difficult can it be?  Here I understood one thing: OVI is all about me BUYING stuff.  For the LATEST phone. OF COURSE!!!  Phone allmost went out the window.
I do have made a near religious promise to meself that NEVER AGAIN BUY A FINNISH PRODUCT!!!
It reminds me about the wifes PC EEE which runs under a finnish OS: Linux... Holy **bleep** **bleep**!!!
Finnish that too. But like this: No management at all.
During I written this I have run the installer inside the installer again an repaired the OVI suite as it is full of bugs, hangs an crasches. It has 5mm green bar and about 95% left to do, but it has never moved.  I wonder what the hell it is waitin for?  Some windows VC80 that is too old for som OODB or some database app that "the guys" didnt understand how to talk with.   It is NET4 now, you see.... NET3 is oooold...  
Well I managed to sync the phone with my bluetooth app, so this "Nokias moneymaker" is now out the window. Bye bye!
Werll if you want you can always find out what error 1603 is, that shows upp 2 seconds after you run the OVI original installer. Your support did not know it.  And a support tech that is not having a programs error reporting list is just a clown.  You better understand this, if you want to grow up from that sandbox, that is....

  • Why is the update so enormous?

    Why is the update to 2.2.0.245 100MB? Can't you just update the components that need updating?
    It's a waste of (expensive) data.

    Stu Ducklow
    Why is my finder so slow to update. For example, if I
    download a file (using Safari), I can't find it on
    the desktop. If I use Find at the Finder level, it
    says it's there, but I can't see it.
    Same thing happens with Mail, trying to attach a PDF
    I just made. Mail can't see it.
    I love all the wondrous glitz of OSX, but wouldn't it
    be nice if it could do the basic stuff as well as
    System 6? At the rate Apple's going, we'll probably
    get a breathless announcement about a spanking-new OS
    called Snail, which doesn't do anything but look
    pretty.
    Stu,
    Did you ever get an answer to this? My finder is pathetically slow to update, a minor irritation a dozen times a day. System 9 never had this problem. Is there a way to get my expensive computer to do this simple task? Is there any news on this?
    thanks,

  • Why does the update icon always on my desktop photoshop elements 10 icon

    why does the update icon always stay on the photoshop 10 icon on my desktop?

    We don't know because update function is hidden so deep in the Menu bar's help item that many people don't even know about it.  Now you are telling us that an icon is on your desktop so this is completely unusual.
    Are you sure it is not the icon for the PSE10 to make it easy for you to launch it?  Can you post a screenshot of what is on your desktop.
    We look forward to hearing from you soon.

  • Why does the update change my home page and make Google so prevelant?

    Several of the last "updates" involved the changing of my bookmarks and home page,. The so called update required me to spend more time in refreshing the browser to its previous condition. This is frustrating to say the least. Second why does the updated version of of firefox seem to favor google?

    Normally, an update does not change your home page...
    What did you home page change to? That might help identify the source of the problem.
    I assume you have tried changing your home page back to your preferred site, either in the Options dialog or using one of the other methods:
    * [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    * [[How to set the home page]]
    Did that work at all? By "at all" I mean:
    * Immediately after making the change, if you click the Home button, or launch a new window using Ctrl+n, does your preferred page load? Or is that ignored?
    * Does the setting revert later in your session (you see in Options it has changed)?
    * Does the setting revert after you exit and start Firefox up again?
    * Is the problem only when you use your Firefox desktop shortcut?
    With that information, it will be easier to recommend a solution.
    I'm not sure I understand your second question. Google has always been the default search provider in Firefox. Are you seeing even more Google than that?

  • HT4623 Why did the update of my phone to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

    Why did the update of my iphone4 to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

    Apple is no longer supporting YouTube with a native application starting with iOS 6.0.  The "old" YouTube application was automatically removed when you upgraded, and it no longer exists in the new iOS.  There are however, numerous third-party apps in the App Store which will allow you to view YouTube, including one from Google, which is the parent company for YouTube.  Passbook is a new application to iOS 6.0 and is not at all related to YouTube.

  • HT4623 Why is the update to 6.1.3 forcing me to erase my phone to work with iTunes?  I don't need it to work with iTunes!

    Infuriating!!!  I tried to install 6.1.3 -- my phone happened to be charging on my work computer.  Now I get a picture of the doc and an iTunes logo on my iPhone screen, and am being forced by iTunes to Reset my Phone.  Taking forever.  Tried turning the phone off and on several times to no avail. 
    Shame on me for trying to to the update in the middle of the day -- but previous iOS updates have been very smooth. 
    Biggest joke is that I no longer use iTunes for much of anything.  And now it's just messing me up and adding no value.

    Thanks for sharing.

  • Why has the updates taken performance away.

    I have owned an iPhone 4s 16gb for 2 years roughly. ( I only use 4gb of its capacity) It was the best smart phone in my opinion among 98% of the surrounding people i know, opinions also.  I can not come up with any other reason as to why the performance has dropped off the charts except for every time i was prompted to update its software with the little red dot notification, the phone immediately showed signs of being very unstable and unpredictable.  This makes me very hesitant to purchase a new iPhone 6 for a disrespectfully discounted price from the service providers ($199.00) I would have been more than happy to upgrade had the updates didnt make the phone so glitchy.  For example, when i rotate the phone while texting from vertical to horizontal, one of the following or ALL happens every single time since update. 
    1.screen turns black
    2.it records an audio text on its own
    3.half the keyboard disappears
    4.the texts appear to continue across the screen repetitively mirroring them
    5.that bar onto of the keyboard to help with words you're possibly spelling blinks and opens and closes by its self
    6.while texting horizontal and receiving notification of another text the screen freezes, and the notification appears opposite of the position of the phone.
    7.the safari history never clears after i clear data and history in the settings.
    I think thats all of them, but maybe 2 more.  Anyway, this is ridiculous change from the update, its embarrassing to complain about these problems in front of the now 2 people out of 37 that have samsung and LG phones.  Its really dissappointing and very unexpecting for me as I've never experienced such problems in the time I've owned iPad mini, iPod, iMac, and iPhone.  I have atlas 3 friends that have switched to Samsungs and LG phones because of these very problems i listed above.  APPLE REDEEM YOURSELVES, THIS IS WAY BELOW YOUR REPUTATION LATELY. 

    I agree.  The issue is the 4S is now 4 generations old, with 32 bit architecture trying to run an operating system designed for 64 bit.  The reality is Apple would have been better off not permitting the 4S to upgrade beyond what the 4 can (7.1.2).  But then people would have cried and moaned that their device was left in the dust.  Technology moves fast and a phone that is now 4 years out, just isn't going to handle the iOS like a newer phone.

  • How can I force the update of items from my local iTunes media onto cloud?

    I have a complete library of music in iTunes on my Mac. When I create
    a new playlist or import some new CD into the iTunes music library I want to
    export and refresh all music files, directories and playlists to the cloud (iMatch).
    How do I force an update of my local music library back into the Cloud
    (and not from Cloud onto my computer)?

    Thanks everyone for the many solutions.
    I ended up un-selecting all the songs in library(edit->select all, then right click and uncheck), setting the ipod to "update checked songs only", then syncing which removed songs.
    Then select all songs again, re-sync and solved.
    Don't forget to undo the "update checked songs only" option.
    I think the manual solution above may have been easier, but only read that solution now.

  • Why does the update list not clear after the app update with the new 7 system?

    Can I clear the update list, it is getting full, from all the updates. It say open only when I do it is still there.  Help please.

    Easiest way to clear list is; go to settings>general>date and time and set date manually to a point at least one month in the future (I set mine to two months ahead) and then open App Store and check for updates. The list should now be clear. This is just an update history list. When finished just turn on auto date/time or set it back manually if you like and list should still be clear. If you do nothing the updated apps should start to drop off the list in about two to three weeks.

  • Why is the update all button missing?

    Self explanatory.

    @PogoPossom: Thanks for your efforts in answering this question. I faced the same mystery of the Update All button missing, even though I'm logged in. I tried powering down the iPad and restarting and that fixed the issue - now the Update All button appears. Is this a bug or a feature?

  • Why after the update is my version still indicating 3.7.2 and only the one computer is even getting the update?

    I have 10.9.5 on an iMac 27 and a macbook pro 17 both having ARD Admin 3.7.2 but only the iMac showed the 3.8.2 update available. I downloaded that one before everything and it allowed me to update clients to 3.8.2 but after discovering that my Macbook didn't get the update offer, I looked at my version on the iMac and it still shows 3.7.2 yet when I select targets to upgrade client software it offers the option to upgrade them to 3.8.2 from my version indicating 3.7.2?

    Try to restart your computer, then restart your phone and try again. Let me know the results.

  • IOS 6: Why is the Updates icon in the App Store app jumping around?

    When I open the App Store app for the first time, the Updates icon is in the middle.  If I hit the Home button, then tap the App Store app again, the Updates icon moves to the far right.

    Ohmigosh, ohmigosh, everybody! I managed to fix it!
    Quiller, sir, you should try this.
    Although I have tried everything written in the post above for many times, I have never done "Reset All Settings" to fix the bug.
    General --> Reset --> Reset All Settings.
    Try it, it worked!
    Good luck!

  • Why Does The Updater Wreck My Win 7/64?

    I have Acrobat 9.3 on a Windows 7/64 bit machine.
    Every time the updater runs, in finishes successfully and tells me I have to restart.
    OK, I restart.
    Then Windows says "We were unable to start windows" and after 30 minutes of looking for the problem, it allows me to restore to a previous restore point.
    That usually works.
    This is the third time in two different Win 7/64 installations that the Acrobat Updater made my Windows unbootable.
    For now, I've turned all updates off.
    Any ideas? Is this a known issue?
    Is there some kind of weird conflict (I also have Adobe CS 5 Web Suite installed)?
    Thanks for any help.
    Alan.

    I've disabled automatic updates as well, and instead do manual updates: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
