16 days and still BT can't reset my IP Profile!
After getting one of the Hub 2.0 Type B in March I have been until June fault free. Gone are the constant random disconnects and the annoying flashing orange broadband light.
June 9th 2010 I rang BT and renewed my Broadband contract for 12 months. Was on Anywhere package but cancelled the BT Mobile and went to the unlimited Option 3, with the discount and saving from cancelling the mobile its down to £19.99 a month.
June 10th 2010 and thats the end of my constant 6 - 6.5mb download speed. IP Profile is down to 2000kbps. I ring the Broadband Helpline and its the usual plug into the master socket, change your filters etc etc etc. Then without even asking I'm put through to a floor manager. He checks my account and I ask is this anything to do with my broadband renewal the day before? Line goes silent. Apparently work is being carried out at my local exchange, everyone in the areas speeds will be a lot lower than normal but it will be completed by midnight on June 22nd. He'd personally call me on June 23rd at midday to check the speed has recovered. They carried out a line test and all came back as being fault free.
Asked a few local people connected to the local BT Exchange and funnily enough they have no Broadband speed reduction.
23rd June midday comes and goes, no call. I ring the helpline, there is no floor manager by the name I was given! Theres also no notes on my account from 10th June hence no call back. That's the next hour of my life gone down the drain having to explain everything again. I ask if the work at the local exchange has been finished. What work comes their response. So thats 13 days waiting for nothing. I'm told that my line speed is actually 5.6mb but when I explain the IP Profile is 2000kbps I'm put on hold again. Now onto another supervisor and re-explain yet again. A line test is run and now 3 faults are found. I'm told that an engineer is needed and I'll be called by that department shortly. 2 hours later engineering team call. All the faults have been fixed, its a BT Network fault. IP Profile has been manually reset to my original 7150kbps and within a day all will be fixed. I'm told the case will remain open for 5 days, any problems just ring the normal helpline number. Within minutes my IP Profile is now down to 1000kbps. So much for improving things.
25th June and still IP Profile of my line 1000kbps. Needless to say its a nightmare trying to do anything at all online. Once again I ring the so called Broadband Helpline. Spend ages explaining it all again. I'm told my IP Profile will be reset again as apparently its not been done and someone will call back in a few minutes. They indeed call and assure me its all fixed. I wait an hour (supposed to have taken seconds to fix) run bt speedtester and yup IP Profile for your line is 1000kbps. Another call, another excuse as to whats gone wrong, another supervisor and another line test, yes now apparently lines faulty again. So engineer booked for next day Saturday 26th June. I explain I've made arrangements and I'm out all day, I'm told if I'm not in I'll be charged, I asked about changing to a different day, not allowed you gotta take what your given. Thats my plans for Saturday out the window. I'm told without doubt whatever the problem is the engineer will fix it.
26th June engineer arrives. He's been given no information about whats wrong. I explain it to him and he tells me if its the IP Profile thats the problem he cant do anything as hes just there to make sure the line for the broadband is working. IP Profile is sorted out by Internet Service Provider (BT). The bungalow I live in is pretty new and the master socket is outside. Apparently all new builds now have no master socket inside the building its all outside in a little grey box. He connects to the master socket and gets 5.6mb download speed. Tries inside and gets slightly less. Fair play to him he checked every single telephone socket and took the wires out and re-connected them. There were some spare wires so he put a master socket inside and plugged directly into that. 5.6mb download speed. Connected my Hub and ran BT Speedtester.

He tells me when BT ring once he's gone tell them to reset the IP Profile. He explained how I can get over 5mb but until BT change my IP Profile 1000kbps is the absolute maximum. BT call, I ask them to reset my IP Profile. No that can't be done, an engineer needs to come out and do that. They'll ring back with a date and time.
They ring back, we've spoken to engineering department and we can reset it. It'll take a maximum of 2 hours. This was at 5pm. They told me not to use the internet or hub until 7pm. Then press the restart button on the hub and all will be fixed. They'll call to check too. Did what I was told, then ran another speedtest and get the same results as above. They call back, its all been fixed! I ask are they sure I'm still getting the same IP Profile of 1000kbps. Low and behold oh its not been reset yet again! Now I'm told theres faults on the line but I can get 5.6 download speed. Yes i can, but not until they rest my IP Profile which is limiting my broadband to 1mb! I ask what happens now? Gotta pass it back to engineers to arrange another one to come out. I asked what the line faults were but he refused to answer.
16 days and still no closer to getting anything fixed. Apparently its in the engineers report which they have been sent to that my IP Profile needs to be rest but apparently that is something which BT are refusing to do.

Hi and thanks for your reply. 10am today yes sunday and the 3pm callback is 5 hours early. Myself and the rest of the people in the house are woken by BT, then annoyingly when I answer the line goes silent and the call is ended.
The noise margin is a weird one, some people say that mine means I'd have a slow broadband speed but then I actually have a decent speed with the noise margin what it is.
Anyway good news, this mini war with BT looks like its finally over.

can't reset my apple id security question. I follow all the instructions and still I can't reset it. All I get is this We’re sorry. The system is unavailable. Please try again
If you are trying the reset link to your rescue email account and it's not working (Apple may have been doing maintenenace) then have you tried clearing your browser's history and cache and/or trying a different browser ?
If that doesn't work either then you can try contacting iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 -

dropped my iphone...getting nothing..let it charge foe a day and still nothing.
Since you dropped and damaged your phone, you've voided your warranty. As such, you can bring it in to Apple for an out of warranty exchange, which will cost 199.00 USD. Or, since it's now out of warranty anyway, you can Google an iPhone repair shop in your area and see if it will cost less than that for repair.

How to remove an old iCloud account from my IPad. The account (email) was on my dad's name and he resently change it and now i can't reset or delete his iCloud account without his password. Please advise on the procedure. Thanks.
If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

Hello. I have an iphone 5s and i can not activate imessage nor facetime. I followed all the steps provided by the apple page and still i can not make it connect. The phone is connected to wifi at all times and has ios 8.
Can you send SMS by using the mobile data network instead of Wi-Fi? I had the same problem setting up my 5s from a backup of my 4s. Only after I sent an SMS via mobile data network, somehow iMessage and FaceTime got activated a couple of minutes later without me doing anything else.
I even changed my Apple ID password, because at one point I could not log into my account when iMessage asked for my account details.

3d day and still no shipping :(
It is the third day and still no change in my order, if it was delayed because of the earthquake would it say somewhere?
Current shipping indications, for iPad 2s ordered on 12 March, are for shipping on April 11, with delivery about the 17th of April.
This is not Apple's first rodeo. You'd think they would make some provisions for supplying customers who choose NOT to get in line at 3 AM, taking their chances of even getting an iPad 2, much less getting one the way they would like it.
It would be nice if Apple would at least compensate those who place their orders online on the 2nd day of supposed availability of their product by either offering a slight price advantage, or possibly some added accessory, such as a pair of earphones, which, by the way, the device should come equipped with in the first place!
Instead the give false estimates of shipping dates, then switch the dates once the order has been placed. It's a great product, and everyone knows it will be in high demand. I suspected there would be a one-month delay after the first day's rush, and sure enough, that's what there is. Why not tell it like it is from the beginning? -
