Does distance of hub to appliance make a differenc...

Hi, please bear with me as I am technologically challenged!
I had BT broadband fitted a couple of months back and everything was fine. The hub was in my lounge and I have a Vodafone Sure Signal booster box for my mobile signal which is connected to the hub via an ethernet cable. I decided to have BT Infinity installed but when the engineer arrived he said the only place he could install it was downstairs by the front door. This means that the Sure Signal box is now downstairs too and now my mobile signal is very low in my lounge and practically non existant in the bedrooms. Also my wireless connection in the lounge is OK (but really no better than it was on normal broadband) and non existant in the bedrooms. I am guessing that the distance of the hub is the problem, is it possible to have it installed elsewhere or is that an impossible question to answer unless you are a BT engineer on the premises?! And if he/she can install it in a different location, will I be charged for this?
Thanks for any help/advice.
Sharon 

I agree that you should complain; though I don't know how far it will get you.  
Depending on your house layout, an alternative may be to run a longer ethernet cable from the modem (which is now pretty much fixed unless you can get the engineer out again) to the HomeHub (which you can move pretty freely).  You could then put the HomeHub back where it was.

    Hello, I had the same problem (repeatedly) until I did this, it works!
    Remove sim, very very lightly rub the sim card's contacts (the metallic parts) with a standard pencil eraser. I suspect its just a micro-residue from the manufacturing process interfering with complete contact. 

  • Does anyone here know how to make a background soundtrack for a Tai Chi Video?

    Good morning,
    Does anyone here know how to make a background soundtrack for a Tai Chi Video in Garageband. I have been looking around at the different sounds and music in Garageband but I have not been able to find anything that would go with the video.
    Here is an example of a Tai chi video if you were wondering
    http://youtu.be/a6pJf2otwv8
    I want to create something like this for a video I did for a fitness gym for a Yoga instructor and Tai Chi instructor.
    Any tips would be appreciated.

    Brandon,
    you will not have to do any importing in GarageBand. Intalling Mainstage will extent GarageBands Loop Library and Instruments Library.
    After you installed MainStage the additional loops and Instruments will show in GarageBand just like all other Loops. you will simply see more loops.
    For example:

  • Simple question, does TM delete oldest files to make room for the newest?

    "Time machine could not complete the backup. This backup is too large for the backup disk." (requires 12.37 Gb, only 7.34 available)
    On the 500Gb TC, why can't it delete 12.37 and continue?
    It was working fine, using TM for three systems, 2 MBAir, 1 MMini.
    Nothing was changed.
    Does TM delete oldest files to make room for the newest?
    If the backup were bigger than the TC, that seems to be the only thing TM/TC can't handle. True?

    I'm taking this Q down because I know the answer is true, so I've stated the wrong Q.

    Why does Lion KEEP reversing changes you make in address book and other applications without your consent and without wanting it to??? Plus address book will NOT import old address book contacts from Snow Lepoard 10.6 and keep them.  This Lion OXS 7 is .. becoming very frustrating ... it will NOT keep changes made in the Address Book and it has destroyed my contacts which I only have electronically since 10.4 in my address book. I am NOT happy with this OS7 it has a lot of issues and faults.  How can one stop automatic reversing of data when inputting???
    Please help! 
    Wished I NEVER upgraded to this Lion!!!
    Carmelo

    Relax. Your address book database is corrupted.
    If you are syncing your Contacts with MobileMe or something else, disable it for now.
    Backup your address book by going to File>Export>Address Book Archive.
    Quit Address Book.
    Open your Library by holding down the Option (alt) key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. Select Library. Navigate into your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook-v22.abcddb file.
    Open Address Book. It will recreate the database from the raw data.
    See how that works. If it is ok, then reenable syncing and see how that works.

  • Why does our new hub 4 make ou phone line busy

    received today, and know it needs 24hrs, but it makes my landline engaged.  Swapped adsl for 3 different ones, tested the test and does exactly the same.  
    Can take the Hubs connection from the ADSL and hear my dial tone return.  BT's script readers say there is a major problem in the area, but people I know have no problems.  
    I can't leave this plugged in as waiting for calls. Had a router on this line previously with no problems at all. Suffered problems with BT in the past (no surprise really!) so any help would be great before my child drives ne completely bonkers and I cancel our new contract and go elsewhere - thank you...

  • Does the 4th GB of RAM makes any senses in the nem MacBook Series?

    Risking to start a neverending troll, and risking, the topic was discussed in exteso earlier, I have to admitt that I am a little bit ****** about a company that merchendizes computers with larger RAM-possibilities than the CPU can handle (to my knowlwedge also RAM doesnt grow on the floor for free...). And in particular, have their local dealer to sell those 4GBs w/o mentioning this limitation (Dataquest company Zurich Switzerland). I actually was so noobish, that i have built in 4GB of RAM in my Dual 2.16 17" 3 months ago, unfortuneately it went broken yesterday, so i wont be able to do any checks myself. The following english statement of Apple dates to October 26, 2006, so maybe it was kinda a 'childhood sickness' that has be fixed in the meantime, and my investement in the 4th MB wasnt for nothing.
    What makes me more suspicious is the fact that in the german translation of the topic, which dates to the June 07, 2007, this limitation to 3GB RAM for MacBook Pro (with 4 built in) is still mentioned. Well, because my poor Dual did only survive 3 monthes (dont let em drop on concret floors, Steve Jobs wont give u a new one, although he argued, the comp would survive the drop w/o any scratch...) i need a new one and i wanna be informed about the actual situation at the RAM's front best.
    *Does anybody know, do the newest models of MacBooks not only accept 4GBs of RAM, but can they also access them all?*
    +The MacBook Pro (15-inch Core 2 Duo) and MacBook Pro (17-inch Core 2 Duo) notebooks have two SDRAM slots in the bottom of the computer, and they come with at least 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM installed into the bottom slot.+
    +Although these notebooks will accept up to a 2 GB SO-DIMM in each of the two memory slots, the MacBook Pro will only support 3 GB total memory. If you want to maximize the amount of SDRAM in your computer, install a 2 GB SO-DIMM in one slot and a 1GB SO-DIMM in the other.+
    +You can use Small-Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SO-DIMMS) that meet all of these criteria:+
    PC2-5300
    unbuffered
    nonparity
    200-pin
    +667 MHz+
    +DDR2 SDRAM+
    +You can use RAM module sizes of 1 GB or 2GB in the top or bottom slots.+
    +DIMMs with any of the following features are not supported in the MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo) notebooks: registers or buffers, PLLs, ECC, parity, or EDO RAM.+
    +Note: If you do install a 2 GB SO-DIMM in both the bottom and top memory slots of the notebook, the About This Mac window and Apple System Profiler will both show that you have 4 GB of SDRAM installed. However, Activity Monitor and other similar applications will reveal that only 3 GB of SDRAM has been addressed for use by the computer.+
    *Kindly, Dhura*

    Yes, the latest 2.2 and 2.4 models can see and use 4gb of ram.
    The previous model can see 4 but only use 4 maximum - this applies to all Core 2 Duo machines pre-dating the latest ones which are based on the intel "Santa Rosa platform".
    The original Core Duo machines could only see 2gb.
    These are limitations of the intel chipsets - not of the Apple MacBook Pro per se.
    Best of luck.

  • Does Classic report provide facility to make report total to be hyperlink

    Hi ,
    Does Classic report in apex provide provision to make the report-total row editable(hyperlinked) ? if so how to implement that.
    Acq     WIP     Closed
    Abc     1     3
    Def     2     5
    report total :     3     8
    Also is it possible to provide more than 2 downloadable options for classic report :
    For eg: now i have provided options to export a report to csv and excel format, along with these two can i provide pdf option!!!!
    Thanks in advance

    You didn't mention what version of Apex you are using. If you are on 4.0, this can be done easily using dynamic actions.
    Here is an example http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=24317:92
    One DA that looks like this http://screencast.com/t/djyAG6F4WFM
    The first TRUE action (fire on page load) changes the cursor style to indicate that the row is clickable http://screencast.com/t/Z3YIXo6c
    The second one actually does the redirect http://screencast.com/t/jHMtyDwK8lM in the example it just shows an alert message but you can modify it to pass in whatever parameters you need and construct the location.href to redirect to.

  • What is the best I7 Intel processor to get on the Macbook Pro 15"?  Are these processors 2nd generation processors?  Does it matter?  Should I wait until - when? - for 2nd generation processors to be used?  Does the 2.5 Mh processor make a difference?

    I'm about to order a MacBook Pro 15".  I wonder if the I7 processors are 2nd generation or if it matters.  Also, is there significant benefit to getting the 2.4 or 2.5 Ghz processor over the 2.2?  I'm not a gamer or graphics manipulator, but I do look at (not edit) a lot of video for my work, and I typically multi-task, having many applications and internet windows open at once. Also, I will be running Windows for work access and applications.  Of course, I have little idea what makes a difference in my use experience, except I plan to get max RAM and probably the fastest hard drive.  Any advice welcome.

    Steve,
    I appreciate your focus on assistance, and thank you for your help.  Couple of follow up questions:  What you said about the new specs suggests that the MacBook Pro line has recently been upgraded with, what, the 2nd gen Intel chips, some other incremental improvements?  So maybe it has paid off to crawl along with my old mac to get the latest tech.  For these kinds of upgrades, I guess Apple doesn't advertise that they have the latest chips (I've seen PC ads touting the 2nd gen chips, and checked out the Intel site, so that's how I became aware) and all?
    I'm planning to enjoy this computer for quite some years.  Of course I will get the 3 yr extended warranty.  And I was planning to get the hi res antiglare screen: that seems to be the best of the options.  It looks like one can now get a faster 750 Gb fast drive, instead of having to settle for 500 in the faster version.  The cost does add up, but my feeling was to go for broke and get the best machine I can.  So does getting the faster cpu and hd and max ram (perhaps buying third party) and all make sense, assuming I can afford it when I add everything up, or is it like a moderately good guitar player getting a top of the line guitar he can't really play well enough to warrant it?  (I remember a story about a student under Segovia arriving with a very very expensive guitar when he was still early in the learning process; it may be apocryphal, but story goes that Segovia took the guitar from the student and smashed it to smithereens.  I assume that was not just because the student mistook the instrument for skill in playing it, but perhaps also because he would be too careful with such an expensive instrument, and fail to master it.  Maybe not a perfect analogy, but I could be mislead by seeking the "best barn burner on the block" when what I need is what will work fine for my purposes.) So I think your original response was probably right on in terms of what will actually be of use to me.
    Thanks again,
    David

    Suggestions for Mac maintenance
    Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off-site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine.
    Keep your software up to date. Software Update can be set to notify you automatically of updates to the Mac OS. Some third-party applications have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
    Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” “extenders,” “cleaners,” “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this kind of material is useless, or worse than useless. The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.
    The free anti-malware application ClamXav is not crap, and although it’s not routinely needed, it may be useful in some environments, such as a mixed Mac-Windows enterprise network.
    Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until recently, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous. There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable. Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a known corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
    Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” “rebuilding the directory,” “running periodic scripts,” “deleting log files,” “scanning for viruses,” or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are for solving problems as they arise, not for maintenance. The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Don’t waste money on Disk Warrior or anything like it.

  • Officejet J3680 Control Panel does not respond to buttons, just make "beep sound"

    Hi everybody, thanks for reading.
    The problem is that my (brand new) J3680 control panel does not work until I press all the buttons, yes its weird.
    Note #1: The printer works perfect when used through the computer (I am Linux user).
    Note #2: Once I have pressed all the buttons at control panel the control panel (kind of) works.
    Heres how this happens:
    I plug the power cord
    Now, the printers start and not even the Power button works, so I cant turn it off, each time I press any button it just do a “beep sound” and the LCD screen keeps the same
    The LCD shows this:
    0 Speed Dial
    <One-Touch 1>
    Now I have figured out what the LCD screen initialization means:
    0: Thats the times I have pressed the “Speed Dial” button
    Speed Dial: Thats the button I have to press to make the Control Panel works
    <One-Touch 1>: This is the next button I have to press after the “Speed Dial” has been pressed
    The printer then makes me press all the buttons (...)
    I think this is kind of some “Control Panel button calibration", because the LCD respond perfect when I press the button the printer ask
    The other problem is that I don't know how to finish this calibration or whatever this is, because I reach a point where I cant find the button it ask
    The LCD ends showing:
    1 Color Start
    <Hidden 1+Black>
    Where “1 Color Start” was the last button it asked me to press, and the <Hidden 1+Black> is the next one combination.
    Note that “Hidden 1” is not “1” not “Speed Dial 1”, I have just tried that combinations, but does not work.
    Please help I have to do this each time I turn on the printer to make the control panel work. Thanks a lot.

    does lightroom have features to make someone skinny?

    Actually, yes - sortof: a new feature of Lightroom 5 supports "correcting" aspect ratio (see manual lens corrections in develop module) which can make people look skinnier all over - i.e. it's not "selective" (you can't target body regions, or individual persons) like the advanced tools in Photoshop (e.g. liquify), but if it's all you need..
