Why no SyncML-support for Harmattan??

I've used SyncML on my N95 with memotoo.com for years. Worked very well. I took it for granted that SyncML would be supported on the N9. But alas, it isn't. I find that really incomprehensible. Worse yet, CalDAV syncing with memotoo doesn't work - I don't know who's to blame for this, but on the desktop it works flawelessly so I do have a suspicion. Even worse: there is no way to sync contacts using CardDAV.
MeeGo (the true MeeGo) has SyncML-support out-of-the-box. And the N9/N950 does have SyncML-support for bluetooth.
Yes, contacts syncing is supported for Ovi. And Google. And Facebook. But I do NOT want to use those services, because of grave privacy risks and because they use yet again some proprietary protocols.
I wonder, what where they thinking at Nokia for NOT supporting some well-known open standards??
(While I'm ranting: why is there ^%@$ Facebook and GTalk-support over XMPP, but no self-defined XMPP account?? Yes, you can add such accounts from the terminal, using mc-tool, but really that's just a kick in the teeth. And where's UPnP/DLNA-support?)

Hey Guys, Did you figure out any way to do PIM sync via SyncML on N9?
I am struggling to get things moving as I come from N8.
N9 just doesnt have any way to sync calendar, tasks with Ovi. Same with Notes.
Best Regards,

Why no firewire support for new iPods?

If firewire is so much better and faster why did the geniuses at Apple decide to discontinue support for it? It took me over 30 minutes to upload music & videos to my new iPod w/ USB, which would have taken 5-10 minutes with Firewire. I don't get it!

They did it because they obviously didn't see the need for it.
Either you have a usb 1.1 port, or have about 500mb of music. The speeds aren't that different between USB2.0 and FW. In fact, i think USB is faster. Stop complaining here, this is only a user-user support forum.

Why no RAW support for the Fuji FinePix HS10?

This camera is well over a year old. Why is there no support for the RAW file?

It is definitely not only Fuji. I used a Panasonic Lumix FX-150 before that has been supported by Adobe Camera Raw for quite some time now. I replaced that camera by a Lumix LX5, but I see that the FX-150 is still not supported by Apple Camera Raw and probably never will.
If you want wide range RAW support, use Lightroom. (Not to say that Aperture doesn't have its strengths, e.g. support for geocoding.)

Why no RAW support for Fuji X10?

The Fuji X10 has been on the market for almost a year now and there still is no RAW support for it in Aperture. Why?

Only Apple can asnwer the "Why?" questions, I'm afriad.
Aperture menu -> Provide Aperture Feedback and let them know you want it.

Why is Verizon support for Backup Assistant so limited?

Folks, I have wasted a whole day looking for a solution to this problem. Perhaps this posting will save someone from wasting their time.
After over an hour on the phone with two customer support people and a wasted hour at the local Verizon corporate store, and endless hours searching for an answer online, I am at a dead end. There are hundreds of reports in these forums about problems with Backup Assistant (BA). There are instructions on the Verizon website that indicate BA will work if you follow the steps. It just ain't so. Seems to me all Verizon cares about is selling the latest and greatest smart phones.
Here's the story. Backup Assistant was working on an LG VX6100. It is a tedious program, but at least contacts could be backed up when it worked.
Today I transferred the 6100 to a new number for a family member, and activated an LG VX8300 for myself. The first phone customer support person directed me through the same steps numerous times and just couldn't believe that the menu options they spoke of were NOT on the phone. I was finally turned over to a second customer support person who directed me through exactly the same futile steps. I read them the same error message over and over again. It was: "Unable to retrieve catalog. Please try again later (3332)." Then I was directed to go to a Verizon store in town for help. Another useless venture. I brought along the following instructions which I found in one of the forums here:

This response several months ago from MikeS_VZW - there IS a fix but as rep may have to look to find it -
We hear your! I have posted several things about not being able to access the Get It Now catalog on some older devices. Before, there was no way to get your access back to the catalog. You had to upgrade to a new device if you did not access the catalog between September and March 25, 2011. There has been a lot of feedback about not being able to access the catalog, so we made it possible to get it back.
Here's what you need to do to get your Get It Now access back on your older phone:
1) Ensure you are able to access other data on your phone (go to settings & tools> My Verizon or My Account) this does not charge megabytes, but does connect to data. This will ensure other data is working.
2) Make sure you don't have blocks on your line that is preventing you from accessing the Get It Now catalog (app blocks, etc.)
3) Take it into any Verizon Wireless corporate store (authorized dealers/premium retailers will probably not have this ability).
4) Explain your issue to them. If you are getting error 3332 when you bring up Get It Now, let them know.
5) A representative will plug your phone into a computer and flash the certificate/update onto your phone (we have articles in our information database to walk them through that if it's their first time.
6) Enjoy having access to your Get It Now catalog again!
This is new information. Before, the only option was to get a different phone. I know this sounds cheezy, but we do hear you. Lots of feedback came about due to this change, and although we tried to be proactive as possible to alert the affected users, there were some that fell through the cracks. Feel free to PM me or call customer service at 800-922-0204 for further information about this.
Good luck! And note it specifies CORPORATE STORE - that may be why you weren't getting anywhere before. Use the Store Locator (top right of your screen) to make sure you are dealing with a corporate rather than "authorized reseller".
The store clerk read it. After dinking around with the phone for 15 minutes he said he thought a software update for the LG VX8300 might help. He took it in the secret back room, and came out a few minutes later and said that they didn't have the latest version because the IT people hadn't made it available to them and probably wouldn't because the phone was an older phone. Apparently anything older than 4 years is ancient in Verizon's eyes. He suggested I might be able to get it directly from LG. He also said I could bring in the VX6100 and maybe they could transfer the contacts directly from it to the VX8300 if they could find a cable. However, that still leaves me with no Backup Assistant. That was that.
LG does indeed have updates available online, but it requires a special LG USB cable which I do not have. For instructions visit

http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-VX8300
Ideas, anyone?
This whole ordeal does not make me want to commit to a 2-year contract that comes along with new equipment.

I noticed that you posted this a couple of months ago... I just activated an old VX8300 as well and am having the same error messages. Did you have any luck getting it figured out?
I agree with you as well. I am getting married in June and do not want to upgrade to any kind of data plan for 2 years and after we get married we're switching to Sprint, not this Verizon garbage with the worst customer service that only cares about screwing people over in this terrible economy. (Sorry, enough ranting from me, just curious if you ever got it fixed? Thanks!)

Why HP remove support for msata drives in the ENVY 15t - q100 ?

The previous models had msata support, but the ENVY 15t - q100 (the one with no dvd drive) has the space for a msata drive, even with the screw hole but they remove the slot from the board. This is a $900 laptop, why they did that?

Why no boot support for external USB HDs?

I found this after laying out cash on a Lacie 160gb Porsche drive - i Carbon Copy Cloned my startup disk onto the external, go to start-up disk in Sys Preferences, and choose the shiny new drive. It doesn't boot.
So I search and find this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106474
My questions:
1. Why is USB booting not supported by OSX?
2. Is there any workaround?
thanks in advance,
Mike Power

thanks foir the replies, everyone. Even though firewire is faster, i thought at least apple would keep abreast of latest technology and create USB drivers that can handle prevalent technology.
I don't intend running my mac from the external HD permanently, only in emergencies when I have a hard drive failure on the laptop, so I couldd clone the OS across using drive genius or Carbon Copy and save hours of installation, and downloading updates to software.
Does anybody know anything about using the "burn image from" and "restore" commands on Disk Utility? Is there a disk image size limit? <derails own thread into tangent>
that way, I could simply burn an image of my laptop to the USB drive, and if all else failed restore it from the OSX install disk using Disk Utility.
All this because Apple have failed to supply working drivers... feels more like windows every day!
thankss to anyone who can answer this or earlier questions.

Why such poor support for iCal?

On the first two pages of this forum, only TWO questions are marked as answered (My own question has been viewed 36 times - no responses at all). Many of the questions refer to fairly serious 'buggy' behaviour by the iCal application. By doing a little Googling, I have found many similar complaints elsewhere, going back several years.
It seems that Apple has a rather unsatisfactory application here. Why is this not being fixed? Does anybody know of any impending major updates that will produce a calendar app without the kind of problems encountered on this forum?

These forums are user-to-user. Apples involvement is limited to providing the platform and monitoring for adherence to terms of use (which your post probably violates!).
Marking of questions as answered is something that has to be done by the question poster. One of the great frustrations of answering questions here is that original posters frequently fail to give any feedback at all on answers, so other visitors don't know if the answer could help them, and the helper doesn't learn how to give better help.
As for unanswered questions, you must remember that the answerers are just ordinary users. If I, for example, had seen your original question, I would probably have decided not to answer it (I have now answered it with a request for further info) as I don't use invitations myself and so have limited knowledge with which to help you. If someone answers a question, and is not able to help, there is a smaller chance that someone who might know the answer will look at the question.
As for bugs, two points. First, there are millions of users for whom iCal performs satisfactorily. Second, this is not a bug reporting site, so if you don't use the OS X Feedback site, or better the developer site, it doesn't register on the developer's radar.

Why is no support for raw file of fuji x10 from Apple ?

I have waiting for sometime for the update to support fuji x10 raw file from Apple. Please make it happen .

We can't. This is a user to user forum. You can sign up for a free online developer account on http://developer.apple.com/ and submit a bug report on http://bugreporter.apple.com/
You can request Fuji to do the same.
You can check the complete listing of RAW updates on:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757
If you look there the x100 is supported, but no x10 for Lion. So the chances of x10 on Snow Leopard support is that much more remote, since Apple typically builds on their support with each new operating system.

HT201071 Why no Raw support for Fujifilm XF 1 in Aperture?

When will Apple support my camera the Fujifilm XF1, I prefer using Aperture but will be forced in to Lightroom.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Why no more support for AppleScript?

I am a graduate student, and I need to be able to cite sources easily. In the previous version of pages, I was able to use Papers2 to easily insert citations and build a bibliography. Now that function is no longer available. Until it returns, I will have to use word, as creating citations myself is a royal waste of time. Does Apple have any intention of bringing back this function?

Who knows?
Until they do why not go back to Pages '09 which is in your Applications/iWork folder and rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

Why no raw support for Fuji XF-1?

The XF-1 has the same sensor as the X10 so it should be easy enough to add to RAW support I think.

L10N: Why is implicit support for Thai numbers, missing from DateFormat

If a Locale happens to have different characters for representing numeric digits from 0 to 9, then the year received back from formatting a date shows the characters for the year in the localized form as well.
For example, the following code:
Locale hi_IN = new Locale("hi", "IN");
sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy", hi_IN);
rptDate=sdf.format(new Integer(2009));
sysout.println(rptDate);produces the following output:
१९६९But running the same code for th_TH locale produces 2552 which doesn't have the Thai digits applied to it and I think that it should really look like: ๒๕๑๒Perhaps this is more of a Localization (L10N) question rather than internationalization (I18N) so please feel free to point me to the correct forum.

You can specify "th_TH_TH" locale to display digits in Thai. For more detail, please take a look at

No Direct support for BlackBerry PlayBook tablet - why not I just bought it?

I've just bought a playbook. It says it comes with complimentary technical support for 90 days form the date of purchase. I have attempted to register the device using the S/N number as required and I get the following:
Unfortunately, your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet does not qualify for Complimentary Support. You can, however, get assistance using incident based support from Research In Motion.
Why? grrrrrrrrrrrr

It should be. The complimentary support is just for help setting it up.
If you visit http://blackberry.com/support and follow the link for PlayBook you should get a phone number you can call, and RIM support will be able to help you.
