A little stressed

What is the best setting to import songs from a CD.
Right now I'm using the Apple Lossless, but is there one that will take up less memory?

Importing and compression are a trade off between size and quality. For the most part you can not have both small size and best quality. But in reality, many of us find that standard compression methods such as MP3 and AAC still sound perfectly fine.
You can also adjust the bit rate of methods, such as MP3, so that even though Apple might have the "Highest Quality" MP3 setting of 192 kbps, you can go with a custom setting and go even higher, for higher quality but also larger file sizes.
Personally I find 192kbs MP3 encoding to be great for my needs.

T420 Fan doesn't stop after stress even 40 °C CPU temp

Hi,
i have a little Problem after the exchange of my 500GB HD that was totaly noisy i have now the problem that the
fan of my T420 doesn't like to stop after some little stress.
for Example i'm running Prime95 for some minutes to simultate Compiling Stress.
In idle the system has someting around 40 °C. With Prime the Temp goes to 80-81 °C (no Turbo just 2.5 GHz)
after stopping the stress the temp drops back to 50 °C in about 40 sec
after a minute and a half its back to 43-44 °C but the fan is still running @ 3600 U/min
the fan then after about 10-15 minutes has cooled down to 35-36 °C but
even at 35-38 °C the fan isn't stopping anymore still running with 3600 U/min
anything i can do about this without 3. party tools? BIOS is now 1.46 but will still not regulate the fan down
if i wait a realy long time it sometimes stops the fan but this isn't a solution ^^
the noisy HDD nearly as loud then the fan @3600 isn't a Warenty reason or is it?

I have the same issue, also suspected it might be a problem with linux.
Posted the problem in the other forum ( http://www.s10lenovo.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1377); this behaviour also occurs with windows, seems to be a bios problem.

IMac no longer working with projector?

Hi folks,
I'm having a weird problem with my iMac (Intel dual core2 - White). All seems to have started going wrong after an upgrade to Leopard. The computer no longer recognises the projector. I know its the iMac cause it all works fine when I connect my Macbook. I'm using a MINI DV thing to VGA adapter.
I have done an archive and reinstall twice but still not working. When I plug the lead in the imac quickly goes to the blue screen as if its changing resolution but then just goes back to normal. System prefs doesn't recognise that anything is plugged in.
I have taken the iMac back to apple with the VGA adapter and 'sods' law it all worked fine! As soon as i get back to my school and re-connect it I get the same old problem! Is it a leopard fault or what? It all worked fine with Tiger?
I have reset permission/repaired the disk/ and zapped the PRAM. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Chris

I'm having the same problem.
I've turned up for two presentations in the last week where my new MacBook Pro did not recognise the projector. It looks like it's going to work (i.e. the laptop display blinks and alters resolution), but nothing is sent to the projector.
At my office presentation, I managed to dig out my old PowerBook -- which worked fine (I have never, EVER had any problems with plugging displays or projectors into my PowerBook).
But when at a conference, I had to suffer the embarrassment of moving everything to a PC laptop (which buggered the transitions, etc.)
It looks like Apple has given up on the whole "it just works" thing.
Its weird -- I'm not used to not being able to rely on my Apple laptop working... It's a little stressful.

Installd Ffox 3.6.15. Redo Flash AGAIN? How can I: Tweak 2 fix plugin-container crashes/hangs10X/day,and 2) Avoid need to reinstall Java, Flash,& other media plugins(Flash, Realplayr/Quiktime Alternative, Media Player Classic)? Ffox fan

plugin-container crashes and hangs many times daily all my time eaten up by upgrading too frequently to new Ffox versions, only to find that I must then spend a whole day jumping thru hoops upgrading almost all of my add-ons too.
I now find, to my horror, that the hideous virus-magnet IE 8 is needed if I want to surf at a reasonable speed and not spend all day dealing with Ffox new versions' Known Issues. Only good thing I have seen about ver. 3.6.15 is slightly better launch-times. Since 3.6 cane out, I must spend 10 minutes just waiting for Firefox to load and give me a browser screen. Help! I love you guys, but your core browser developers need to have better comms with the Javaa/flash/Adobe and other must-have add-on people! And PLEASE fix all these "plugin-container" crashes and hangs I get, that lock my machine for 10-15 min at a time. Not everybody has 16 gigs of RAM, you know! I think the "plugin-container" running as a separate process idea might need to be COMPLETELY re-engineered! YOU CAN DO IT! LET'S GET BACK TO LEAN AND MEAN, and not bloat ourselves off our hard-won User Preference / great security pedestal with the kind of feature-creep that IS DEMOLISHING IE's slave-userbase with the hard-won advanced-user preference for Firefox
and our core values. FAST-LEAN-SECURE.
Where have they gone? I LOVE Firefox
and all it stands for! Let's not trip
over our own features here. Already I
see SeaMonkey and leaner, faster
browsers hot on our heels, THIN and
FAST! Firefox doesn't need to integrate
with EVERY thru-the-browser media tool
on the planet! I've been writing code
since 1968, and I can't imagine how a
lesser-experienced user (that code
should be written for) could possibly
have navigated all the side-upgrades
and Known Issues to make Firefox run as
sweetly as it used to! He'd just give
up when he finds he has to separately
find and install the EXACT 3rd-party
version that Firefox needs for its
newest release: things like a new Java
runtime environment, and hunt down and
correctly install ALL the Flaming-Phox-
compatible buggy plugins from half the
browser-media warezmakers on the
PLANET! He'd give up halfway thru trying to navigate to, D/L, and install
what he needs from Oracle Java, Adobe,
Flash, media players and their codecs,
etc etc.... WRITE FOR THE NOOBS! As it
is, I have invested 2 full workdays in
just keeping your last 2 quick releases
happy. And having another release spaced only 3-4 days apart from the
last- well, that just doesn't fly.
Better to release a hotfix or patch that a user can set FFox to automatically D/L and self-install on
schedule. Just look! Now you've got me
talking like that lawbreaking swine
Gates! We want to keep on absorbing
the average-user center and take it ALL
away from him, not go on feature,
plugin, and upgrade-bloating the best
browser EVER!
You're facing choices that can kill
us! PLEASE DONT BLOAT! AND PLEASE ONLY
RELEASE A NEW VER WHEN YOU CAN REALLY
GET RID OF SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND MAKE
HER FASTER AND LEANER AND BETTER UNDER
THE HOOD! Already the Noobs are getting
mindlessly scared when you talk about
"fixing a Security problem"- really a
minor issue that SHOULD be taken care
of by their antimalware solution- in
the Release Notes splash screen they
get on install of a new ver! Thanks, my
friends, for all your work, and YES I
WILL sit here all day trying to find
the add-ons that need to be selected,
downloaded, and upgraded from 10
different 3rd-party sites who are
fighting our browser, not dancing with
it! DON'T EVEN LOOK Evil! But I have
to confess that at this point, Gates-hate is all that keeps me on
these all-day new-release tasks. Even
my best techs are starting to advise me
to install SeaMonkey or another of the
newer, thinner browsers... or just stop
upgrading Firefox and roll it back to
when it was sharp, fast, and lean! Look
at all the users wanting to go back to
3.6.13 or earlier and looking for archives of old versions. THANKS AND
GOOD LUCK! I'LL DIE BEFORE I GIVE UP ON
MY BELOVED FIREFOX!
-The CRASHMAN, ATTORNEY AT LAW

Thanks! I've already used the built-in plugin checker but it gives very vague answers like (research this" and update this" all of which I did, starting with Java and Flash, Adobe Reader, Shockwave, 100% reinstall of Java newest ver. TWICE- but FFox keeps reporting that I only have the FORMER version installed, although when I go to Java console or Check the Flash executable at the MFR's site, there is NO doubt that the updates were successful!
But the browser just seems to refuse to acknowledge the update!
And I don't HAVE 6 hrs/day at the 'puter just to play with add-ons
and plugups. So I'm going down the line now, ripping out extension
programs and replacing/reinstalling/updating the plugins one by
one- even went to M$ to get advice on THEIR For-Firefox ActiveX
stuff. No dice so far. And yeah, The plugin-container WAS made so
that a plugin, add-on or I guess extension app failure wouldn't take
the whole FF browser down with it if the 3rd-party ware crashed. It's supposed to shake it off and go on, kinda like how XP sometimes
restarts Explorer (not the IE browser) so I don't have to reboot the
whole sys.
That was the foundation of my remark about stepping back and
re-engineering the whole "Plugin-container" idea, because it seems
to do more harm than good. Maybe that's why the Firefox core
engine won't recognize my upgrades- for example I TWICE installed the Flash update to 10.2.xx (latest ) and the Flash Mfr's
site verifies my upgrade as a successful 10.2, but Firefox plugins
check say I have a 10.1, the old one. What gives here? The sneaky
PLUGIN CONTAINER, METHINKS!
Now I'm disabling things on the Extensions Apps list, thinking
that might help, like disabling my video downloader and other
download helpers/managers... and I notice that there is a LOT of
Java stuff in there too as well as in the blue Lego Plugins List... and
in the past the FFox always told me if a new version of Ffox was
incompatible with any older 3rd-party app Extensions and notified
me QUICKLY if something I had in there was Outdated. I'm big on
using the neat-o "find updates" button at the bottom if that happens, and usually get a newer version right away. The prob
really lies in the Blue Lego Plugins and their new Container, I
believe.
So Ill still keep Plugin-innin' away! Will post here what success I have! (OR maybe M$ is deliberately sabotaging our ActiveX-cripple
mess as it loads!) Thanks for the suggestions a37271!
FIND UPDATE...FIND UPDATE.. ALL OK..ALL OK.....

Missing Files in Finder from External Hard Drive - PLEASE HELP

Hi everyone, found myself with a bit of a problem and feeling a little stressed out.
I have an external, Thunderbolt hard drive which seems to be working ok. Suddenly, after a reboot I am unable to see any files on the drive and the finder says 0 files. The disk size however remains the same, indicating the files are still somewhere on the drive. I am running 10.10.1 (14B25).
Before the reboot I was writing to the drive using Compressor, I cancelled the export and then rebooted. Since then I have attempted the following with no luck:
1. Rebooted the computer / PRAM and SMC reset.
2. Tried accessing the drive on another computer and account. No luck.
3. Verified the drive with Disk Utility
4. Repaired system permissions
5. The external TB drive is a raid, I have checked the raid with the software for error and no errors are present and the Raid looks in good shape. No red lights, flashing, warning sounds etc.
6. I re-indexed spotlight.
7. I made all hidden files visible, and couldn't see the files but i found the following hidden files in the attached picture.
Could someone please give me some advice which could lead to the recovery of the data?
Many, many thanks in advanced, I look forward to hearing form you.
Best, Jim.

A small update:
I have tried using DiskWarrior - it sees the files and folders are there, confirms there is no physical disk problem but after a rebuild of the directory there are still no files present.
Is there a preference file or hidden file I could try and remove?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Jim.

WD External HD won't mount after moving/deleting files in 10.9

Hi, Apple Expert Universe.
Preface first with my setup:
15" MacBook Pro w/Retina Display, 2.3 GHz i7, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, OS X Mavericks
Western Digital External Hard Drive, 1TB, USB 2.0
(WD applications removed per WD's suggestion after upgrading to OS X 10.9)
Today I was organizing my files on my external hard drive and computer to free up space and eliminate duplicates. I ran countless files through the application Gemini and moved and deleted hundreds of GB of data over the course of a couple hours.
At one point, I emptied the trash. I had had difficulty doing this at first because of some permission issues between users, so I went to Finder and did a CTRL + Click on "Empty Trash" to bypass these issues. This may or may not be relevant to my problem.
Now, my WD HD will not mount on my computer. I plug it in (have tried both USB ports) and all that shows is the "WD SmartWare" which always shows up alongside the HD itself under "Devices."
In Disk Utility, my named disk is greyed out under the main HD heading. (So where it tells me about the formatting of the disk and calls it what I've named it, it's greyed out, but it clearly sees the hard drive attached.) I tried to Repair the disk but it stops after a while and tells me that I need to back up my data, reformat the disk, and restore the backed-up files.
I don't know what to do next. I have looked in several other forums here and elsewhere in Mac-related sites but haven't found anything that exactly matches my problem. If you know what to do, or have suggestions that won't risk losing data, or know of another string or forum where this has been successfully resolved, I would greatly appreciate the assistance. I'm an advanced user, but I am also a dummy who put the only copy of my 100 GB photo library and many other things I would like to keep on this drive. Needless to say, I'm a little stressed out right now.
One last point: I don't have enough space to put my things on my computer's hard drive, but if I have to I'll go buy a new hard drive. I was planning on doing that anyways because using UBS 2.0 on a MBP Retina Display kind of defeats the point. Buying a new external hard drive with Thunderbolt is definitely in my future.
Thanks very much,
Christie

Hi V.K.,
Thanks for your response, can you provide some more details?
OS X has very limited support for NTFS. you need to repair the drive from windows.
How do I do that? I mean the disk works normally in Win XP and it worked normally in the previous OS X version. Btw. I've also installed NTFS-3D which allowed to write on the disk and search from spotlight (of course when it was mounted).
run chkdsk in windows and see if it finds any errors.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265
it can also be that the problem is caused by ntfs-3g which is known to have a number of bugs. you can try uninstalling it or plugging in the drive in a mac without ntfs-3g installed.
there is no "issue" to solve.
Well if it worked in 10.5.6 and it works in Win XP and it doesn't work in 10.5.7 I am tempted to say 10.5.7 has an issue.
the fact that you have a problem with one drive on your particular system doesn't mean there is a problem with os x in general. an issue is when all or at least many people have a problem, not one.
furthermore, NTFS is a proprietary file system of Microsoft with closely guarded secrets about its inner workings which is why it has very limited support on other types of operating systems. apple is under no obligation to provide ANY support for something like that. programs like NTFS-3g are essentially unauthorized hacks.

MTA Exam 98-361 CS - Please Help ASAP - It would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys:
I am brand spanking new to this development scene and have zero background in any type of IT so, please bare with me..I'm currently active duty military planning on getting out in the fall. I heard about the MSSA program
offered by Microsoft and decided to give it a shot since I meet the requirements (well, most). The reason I say most is my lack of background. Anyway, I just heard about the program about three or four weeks ago and didn't find out I met the requirements till
about two weeks ago..At that time, I was also advised that to get into the program I had to pass this exam (MTA 98-361) , and I had to pass it before the new year to get into the course starting in January.
Because I had such a short amount of time to prepare for the exam, of which I had no knowledge of, my leadership has been very flexible in letting me have time to study. I've taken great advantage of this and have spent countless hours at my desk studying.
Probably around 12-14hrs a day, to be honest. I thought I had been taking this stuff in and really learning a lot getting all of these hours in in the past couple of weeks, until today. I get to the building that is holding my certiport proctored exam, I sign
in, and when I do the proctor asks me, "is this the first time you're taking this exam?" At which point I replied yes and she advised me I had to pick the Visual Basic version of the test because it was my first time..My heart dropped and I got very
nervous. I began the test and it looked completely foreign to me. These last two weeks I had focused all of my energy on learning C# and didn't have even a slight idea of how to apply these methods to VB. I know, most of you guys that have been in this awhile
say this test is easy either way, but it wasn't for me, I'm not at that level. Needless to say, I failed...miserably, and was advised I could retake the test in 24hrs and I could take the correct test..real reassuring...When I say I did bad, it was BAD. Now
I'm beginning to question if I even have a grasp on the simple stuff, the basic understanding of all of this. I enjoyed what I was learning, hence the keeping motivation through those long days.
Is this not for me? I was advised that my results would be sent directly to MS and all I could think was GREAT, and I'm trying to get a job in this industry..is this going to look negatively on my behalf when MS sees that, even if I do somehow still manage
to pass the test that I've been studying for and make it into the program? I'm dedicated and wiling to put what I need to into this because, like I said, it really interests me..I'm just looking for some insight if this is a realistic path for me or not and,
if so, if anyone can enlighten me on how I can better prepare myself for the exam next week (CS version).
Is the MeasureUp practice testing as good of a source as it's made out to be? Or should I be going elsewhere? I've watched the MSDN MTA modules multiple times, read Wiley cover to cover, and looked up things I didn't know or wasn't sure of all over the internet.
I'm just wondering what all of you dev gurus would suggest for someone totally new, to learn all of these fundamentals in this short amount of time. Sorry for the lengthiness of this thread, I'm just a little stressed and frustrated.
Thanks much,
Joey
////I know there's lots of threads about the MTA 98-361, I'm just looking for particular help in regards to ////my current situation, thank you.//

To start with, I think that your proctor made a mistake. If you have been doing all your studying with C#, you should have taken your exam in C#, not in VB. Although the change from C# to VB is trivial for someone who has years of practice with both languages,
in your particular case you should have stuck with the one with which you were most familiar.
As a second piece of advice, you need some practice rather than just stuudy time. The questions in the MTA exams are in general very easy to reply if you have actually done the things that they are talking about (versus just having studied them on paper).
For this exam about "development fundamentals" I would recommend that you write a few simple programs that exercise the various topics covered in the "skills measured" section of the exam description page. For instance, when you see the
topic labelled "For loops, While loops, Do...While loops, and recursion", go ahead and write a programs with several types of loops and verify that you understand how to write them, how they work, and that they produce the results that you expected.

I would like to purchase a new Mac before this good old Mac revolts completely. I store my images on external hard drives and have heard nightmares about others attempting to transfre to a new Computer. How do I safely transfer Lightroom to a new computer with as little stress as possible?

Multiple printers on the same network problem

I have 2 HP OJ Pro 8600 printers and one HP OJ Pro 8500 Plus printer on the same network. My question is whether it is possible to change the network name of these printers so that it is easier to identify them.
The printers are in three different buildings so there is little stress to run around to find out where the print comes.

Hi JObbern
If all the printers are on the same network you won't be able to change the network name on the printer.
You can change the name of the printer though on each computer. Depending on the operating system you are using, go to the printers window, right click and rename. Example Office1, Office 2.
If the option isn't available you can go to the printer window and add a printer and change the printer name through the wizard.
Hope that helps.

BT Phone Line Order – 9 months of total failure – ...

I've been trying to get a phone line and internet connection from BT installed into a London flat since the 07th of January 2012.
This email/letter does not contain every contact with BT in the last 9 months – as I have not kept records of all the dozens and dozens and dozens of calls, texts, and emails but it is a good enough list to show the general theme of total failure from BT in all aspects of both technical and customer service.
(I have re-written this and removed my 5 or so BT account numbers, the various fault numbers, the dozens of VOL numbers and removed any surnames of people in it in the hope that this will get posted.)
07 Jan 2012
Place first order for phone and internet. BT.com reference: <removed for forum post>.
You can only do Mon to Fri installs. My next day available day off work is 19 Mar 2012 so the line engineer’s appointment is made. 8am to 1pm. I am self-employed and it is not easy to take time off work. In fact it costs me money every time I have to take time off work.
19 Mar 2012
The phone line engineer is late. Arrives after 1pm. He looks at job and says he can't do anything. It needs a new line installed even though there is already a line installed? New line involves a cherry picker and another visit by the line engineer. More time off work. New phone is line installed into flat.
27th Mar 2012
I am informed that the new phone line does not work. Order is cancelled? I get no details on what the problem is and why I can't get a line or what to do next. I have no phone at home so I’ve not tried to use the line; yet BT has already cancelled my Order.
I called ‘BT help; somebody tells me the line is connected to the wrong exchange. I spend lots of time and many calls talking to people in India and I think other parts of the UK. People tell me they are going to call me back and don't. I tried to speak to supervisors in India but nobody returns calls. I’m getting nowhere for weeks and weeks. I give up; it all seems too hard…
7th June, 2012:
Over the internet I place a new order with BT for phone line and internet:
Your order number is: <removed for forum post>. Phone number: <removed for forum post>
6th July:
BT infinity engineer appointment. 8am to 1pm. He is late. After 1pm. He arrives, looks at job and says he can't do anything. He says the phone line does not work.
I inform him the order I placed with BT is for a phone line and internet. He says there is nothing he can do as he does not ‘do’ phone lines. Another day off work. Lost wages, lost time.
No phone & no internet.
Fault is raised:
Date closed: 6 July 2012
Fault/VOL number: VOL012-<removed for forum post>
Open Product affected: Phone fault
Telephone number: <removed for forum post>
Lots of calls to BT. But getting nowhere at all. They tell me there is no fault on the line but will send an engineer that I might have to pay for.
8th July:
Phone line engineer arrives 8am to 1pm. He is on time. He informs me all the existing work is incorrect. They have connected all the equipment to the wrong exchange. It should be the Putney exchange but they have attempted to hook me into the Wandsworth exchange - which won't ever work. Still no phone & no internet. He raises a fault number: LS6 W80 <removed for forum post>
10th July:
9am call from Open Reach engineer. This is not a scheduled appointment. I've had no contact from BT. I am at work. He does not know the problem or the fault number. I give him the fault number and call him back 90 min later. He confirms that I have been connected to the incorrect exchange and cabinet? He can't do anything to fix the problem.
I want somebody to call me with a solution.
I don't want to talk with more people in India who can't help me or even understand the problem. How can this be such a failure?
I use website to email in a letter with the entire listing of existing fault details/number, order numbers etc.
Thank you for your enquiry. We will respond to your enquiry as soon as possible. Please make a note of your enquiry reference number and use it in further correspondence.
Your enquiry reference number: 120710-<removed for forum post>"
One of the issues I am finding is that BT does not link previous faults with new ones, or previous Orders with new ones, or previous Customer Numbers with new ones. Every time I speak to somebody they cannot find any details of the history of these problems so far. BT keep on cancelling my Orders and placing new ones; raising new faults etc. But nothing is linked and when I speak to people for help they can’t see any of the history of the line, faults, address, etc.
19th July, 2012:
I get an email from BT. They have cancelled their own Order again.
Order cancelled. Your order number is: BTCAA6<removed for forum post>
Dear Mr HUNTER, We confirm your broadband order's now cancelled.
23rd July, 2012:
Email from BT as they re-raise a new Order:
Your order number is: VOL012-<removed for forum post>
Check out your account and more about your service
Phone line starts(SL-N)
Phone number: <removed for forum post>
24 Jul 2012 before midnight
Track your order - you'll need order number VOL012-<removed for forum post>.
24 July, 2012:
Email from BT as they re-raise a new Order:
Good news Your order number is: VOL012-<removed for forum post>
Dear Mr. HUNTER, Your phone service is ready for you.
BUT IT IS STILL NOT WORKING..
Sometime around this date BT Priority Help gets involved and lots more phone calls ensue.
27th July, 2012:
After I talk to priority help line and say please don’t waste our time anymore with line engineers that come around and say ‘we can’t do anything’.
BT Priority Help book another engineer visit & we need more time off work again.
The next line engineers visits and he says it is the same problem. He says he can’t do anything. He says it is connected to the wrong exchange. And leaves.
He says his manager will call me. Fault Number: LS6 WPE <removed for forum post>
28th July, 2012:
Call from somebody from BT asking about my street address.
They say the address might not be correct.
29th July, 2012:
Next day call from Franz’s, fault line engineer manager.
He says:
A new order is going in.
Equipment might not be installed in correct place. Correct place should be CAB7 PCB 7 Putney.
Some part of the equipment might still be pointing to Wandsworth.
A new order to the exchange is being place to do it all again.
The address BT has for this flat will not be the problem as it is a new line installed by BT.
I need to wait till Tuesday and see if it works.
A New Order is booked; again.
Monday 30th July, 2012:
I call the priority help line and COMPLAIN again that BT are getting nowhere.
I explain that whatever you have been doing since MARCH 2012 to get this line working HAS NOT WORKED. I repeated what one line engineer told me that it might need to be connected to another exchange. Not WANDSWORTH & NOT PUTNEY but one called PUTNEY/CHISWICK???
I explain to somebody from BT Priority Help Care the days and days and days I have lost trying to get a phone line and internet installed into this flat…
I get a call back 30 min later.
Lady on the phone tells me that all the previous 5 orders have been placed with Wandsworth phone numbers. She has created a new Order, Order number 6, and it is an Order with a PUTNEY EXCHANGE phone number because all the other orders have been for a mix of the wrong exchange and all have used WANDSWORTH EXCHANGE phone numbers – which would stop this working even if the line and equipment was connected to the correct PUTNEY exchange…
1st Aug, 2012:
Text message from BT saying they are having "systems issues trying to correct and update data in the background, and exchange problems".
Monday 6th Aug, 2012:
Voice mail from BT priority care team: Informed "Problems with Engineering and Exchange. They will call back on the 08th of Aug."
14th Aug 201:
Emails arriving saying that your new line is now working.
But it is not.
6pm - ish I am called from BT Sunderland priority help care. Lady does not know the details of the case. She tells me the line should now be working.
I explain there isn’t a dial tone.
She tells me there is an address problem. Probably.
I explain the 8 months of issues I have been having.
She tells me to not get upset. She doesn’t know anything about this case.
She tells me “It can actually take up to 12 months to get a phone connected in London”.
She tells me “that it can be very complex to get a phone connected”.
She tells me there is a long winded email attached to my case. I tell her that the ‘long winded’ email she is reading was written by me in an attempt to show all the problems in the last 8 months IN ONE PLACE – something BT seem incapable of doing.
She tells me I have to wait 10 days until the address team finish their address checking.
I explain to her that the line engineers have told me it is not an address problem.
She tells me there is nothing she can do.
28th Aug
BT priority Care called me. Told me that they are still waiting for results from the Address Team.
29th Aug
BT priority Care called me.
Told me that it is connected to the incorrect exchange now. Wandsworth… The same thing I was told last March.
I got ‘annoyed’ and tried, again, to explain the entire story to the lady on the phone.
She told me she cannot see any records of my orders back to January.
She told me that she didn’t understand what the problem is, and that the records they have shown the line was working in Aug...
I asked her to get her manager to call me.
No manager called me; instead I get a call back from the same lady later in the day. She is trying to help but we are still getting nowhere. BT Priority Care are just trying to do the same things again, that have failed multiple times in the past. They have no solution because they do not know what the problem is?
30th Aug 2012
BT priority Care called me; lady might have been called Sharon? Another lady anyway.
She tells me a new order is going to be placed to get the line connected back to Putney.
I ask to speak to her manager. She says she will call me back.
She calls me back and tells me that her manager Kelly W<removed for forum post> a BT Priority Care Manager Sunderland(maybe?) is going to call me before 6pm. This is the 3rd time I’ve asked to speak to a manager at BT Priority Care. Nobody calls me back.
All I get from BT since March are people trying the same failed thing, again and again.
Now they want to check with the address team. Again.
Now 6 months later after getting it connected to the Putney exchange, they want to put it back to the Wandsworth exchange, where it was originally – and never worked? I question this decision? I ask why this is going to fix the problem if it is the opposite advice to what every line engineer (5 of them) has ever said. I get told that nobody can answer that question.
Friday 31/08/2012
Another set of emails and text tell me I have a new line that is working.
But of course it does not. The phone line is dead. No dial tone.
Phone number is: <removed for forum post>
VOL012-<removed for forum post>
Monday 03/09/2012
All the BT priority care line numbers with the PIN numbers I was given have stopped working.
I can’t make a call to get through to the BT Priority Care Team anymore.
So I phone the normal BT help number…
An automated system tells my phone number is on exchange that is having a high level of faults for the last 2 hours and then it automatically disconnects my help call.
I phone back again and I have to NOT give my phone number for about 4 levels of automated systems to get to speak to a person. This time get through to a person. In India.
I ask for help trying to get put through to the Priority Help Care Centre in the UK. I am informed by somebody in India that all BT Priority Help Centres in the UK have been closed for good – since last Friday. I have to explain, again, the now nine months of trying to get a line connected – to the Indian help desk. I told to wait while she speaks to her supervisor.
I get put through to a different BT Priority Help Centre in the UK. Not Sunderland.
I speak to a man. He says he will email the Sunderland Help Centre and Kelly W<removed for forum post> and get somebody to phone me.
I ask him for advice on what I should do to try to get a phone line connected – after 9 months of trying. He says he will try and escalate it but he does not want to step on other peoples toes?
I ask him to CC in the CEO of BT to the email he is going to send to Kelly W<removed for forum post>. He thinks I am joking….
It is Wednesday night of the 04th of September 2012
Still no call back from Kelly or anybody from the Help care team. This is the 4th time I’ve requested a call back.
And now my PIN numbers for the priority call number have been disabled so I can’t call them.
Of course; why would you expect anything less?
LETTERS OF LATE PAYMENT:
In the last 6 months I’ve got multiple letters from BT telling me I am late in paying for my line service. I get ‘account overdue’ letters even though I prepaid the 12 months line service in advance for a line that has never worked.
SADLY:
There are phone lines in the flats below me, either side of me, and all down this entire street.
There are phone lines all over London. There are phone lines all over the UK.
But sadly not one that works in my flat. I’ve been without a phone or an internet connection since I moved in. 9 months ago.
MARS:
The Americans have flown a Mars Rover, which weighs a ton, from the Earth to Mars, landed it, and driven it around a bit – all on another planet - in the same time BT has failed to install a working phone line into a flat in central London? I wish it was this funny..
GIVEN UP:
So now I give up. My endless frustration at BT’s total lack of anything even close to coordinated fault tracking or anything like co-ordinated customer care service isn’t worth the time or stress any longer. 9 months of stress, lost wages while I’ve waited at home for engineers, and countless hours and hours of my time wasted on hold or speaking to people that can’t help.
YOU SUCK:
BT you are the total pits.
I don’t think you could suck more.
Some of my account numbers have been GB 1084 <removed for forum post>, GB 1099 <removed for forum post>, GB 1038 <removed for forum post>, GB 1105 <removed for forum post>
Dozens of other reference numbers: <removed for forum post>

Further onwards (actually downwards or backwards):
I did respond (last week) to the request to contact the forum moderators directly and was told that that they could not help because this is now being referred to Ombudsman.
Thanks for the offer of help anyway.
Two days ago I did receive another letter from BT. Dated after I was told that I would never get another letter from BT asking for payment for something that was never done. "You will never get another bill". I get another bill.
So more, painful, calls to BT in India. Have to explain the entire 9 month situation again. More wasted timed.
Asked to wait while supervisor is contacted.
Told she can't help but I should call this number: 0800 169 4109.
Which I did. But of course that number requires a number and a pin. And they don't give you a pin number. So they have effectively just cut me off.
So I have to start the entire 'call for help about this bill' processes again.
(Don't forget I've been talking to BT now since January 2012. 9 months, coming up to 10 months and I still can't get a working phone line and I still can't stop getting bills for something that has never worked).
Additioanlly on top of getting sent another late payment letter I’ve see no letter regarding the ‘Deadlock’ process between BT and I – as ‘promised’ by BT. I was told, verbally, the letter would go out last Monday. It is still not here. I want to know if the process has began. So I try to get help with that on BT Help Chat.
My goal in the chat below was to:
1. Get help with the Ombudsman process. I wanted to know why I had not received a letter from BT as I was told I was going to on the date I was expecting.
2. Get a phone number to speak to somebody about the Ombudsman process that BT had started.
3. Find out why I am still getting late payment changes for a line that has never worked - in the 9 months since the initial line order was created.
I was not given a number to call for help. Claire, the Help Chat lady, would not give me the number.
I was told I was going to be 'called back,' which I was not happy with as I know from 9 months of past experiences with BT that I will not be called back.
Sadly I was getting very frustrated by the end of the ‘Help Chat’. 9.5 months of tryign to get a phone line working in Central London has left me a little stressed...
Please note that today is the day after the chat transcript below. While Claire was trying to be helpful:
I was not called back. I received no help regarding getting details on what stage the Ombudsman process is at and what I have to do next.
9.5 months now. No phone line. No solution. Lots and lost of endless frustration.
Days and days and days of stress and my own time and hence money wasted.

What's happening to my site?!?

I've designed this site in Photoshop, sliced it up and then exported it to HTML format, then opened up the HTML file for editing in Dreamweaver. Everything looks good and when I go to preview it in Safari, it looks great.
So I sent this project out for testing by some of my family and a cousin came back and told me to look at the site in Firefox. It looked like crap! Really, there were spaces where there shouldn't have been and some links had blue borders around them. I managed to get the blue borders off, but the site still looks kind of truncated.
So, I had to make a flash site which looks great and does everything I wanted it to, all for this truncated table reason.
Would someone be so kind as to take a look at the site and the code (I'm a designer by the way, not a developer and this is just beyond me!) and give me some suggestions? This project is my first web project and I'm getting a little stressed out that I can't find the answer to a problem that seems basic.
Thanks
eDz
You can view it here - http://www.temanametalpolishing.com/ and be sure to choose the non-flash site.
P.S.
I've got Dreamweaver CS5 on a Mac platform by the way.

Unfortunately web design is not like print design. You can't just drag and drop and expect things to work. Web design does require a little bit of coding knowledge. Typically most here will suggest that you create the slices in Photoshop and export the slices you need. Then in Dreamweaver build the HTML instead of using the Export function from Photoshop because all Photoshop does is create a table with images in each cell. Not ideal for a web design, it fits everything tightly which is why when you add a link you get a blue border since when images become links you get a blue border unless you turn it off.
Also what is happening is that fonts might display differently in browsers and because of the tight fitting structure when you add too much text things get pushed out of alignment even if it does not appear that way in Design View.
If time is important give this tutorial a read over: http://layersmagazine.com/image-slicing-in-photoshop-cs3.html . It is an excellent tutorial about the current method you are using and will get you setup with best practices.
I'll try and look to see a better tutorial of what I am explaining about coding the page manually from Photoshop slices unless someone else on here beats me to it. But that first link should get you going.

IPod Toch G.3 / Applications open for 3 seconds, and shut down automatically

Hello,
I have a customer on an iPod touch Gen. 3 / iOS 4.x with an issue running my own app iRuleThem. He wrote me that my App won't open or start. The screen turns black when he taps the icon and then remains black. According to this out-dated thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/8804168#8804168 there are/were others out there with the same bug on different universal third party apps. Comment: "They should work on the iPod Touch because they don't require an iPhone environment."
But the thread wasn't leading to any satisfying solution at all.
Have you self experienced such issues on other apps?
Was an update of the iPod Touch to iOS 5.0.1 of any help?
rikeebytes

I could fix the issue. But I have to buy an iPod Touch to see behind the cause. Therefore I decide to keep other developers up-to-date to save their money :). But currently I'm falling in love with this device - G.4 rocks!
This information is very useful for iOS developers who wan't to support all iDevices. The way to go is building an universal app.
In the 'App.plist' configuration file you define the starting point with the 'Main nib file base name' Key. It leads to the UI's first window for all given platforms. There are 3 keys I have now in use to support iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. The iPhone 4 and the iPod Touch G.4 are nearly the same in hardware (resolution, processor, memory, ...) but they use different keys. Something I haven't expected properly :(.
- 'Main nib file base name (iPhone)'
..... is only meant for iPhone and doesn't execute on iPod Touch !
- 'Main nib file base name (iPad)'
..... is iPad only with other resolution
- 'Main nib file base name' - without any parentheses nothing like (iPod)
..... is used by iPod Touch or iPhone (not tested with iPhone --> I use this key only for the iPod Touch)
That's because the Touch was released after the iPhone. It's absolutely fine to could define another interface. When this key ('Main nib file base name' - without anything) in the configuration file is missing it won't execute the (iPhone) UI. That's was unpredictable for me so I was a little stressed during the last few days. It's now fine and and my update will reach soon the stores..

Problems opening Captivate 5.5 after CTD

Hi there forum,
When closing a Captivate 5.5 project today, it asked if I wanted to save the file. I said yes. The procedure the save the project commenced and the Captivate progress box appeared as it was going through all its compression techniques etc to close the project. It finished the save, and closed my project file and the progress box disappeared, but just before the actual Captivate shell completely closed off my screen, all of a sudden my laptop 'blue-screened'.
No problem, this laptop has had some CTD's before over its lifespan, (not many, but it has happened) and then everything reboots and starts ok. Only this time, Captivate 5.5 won't start. Big problem! Just to confirm, I have been using Captivate 5.5 for a few years now, never had any PC memory issues or the like and Captivate 5.5 has run seamlessly on the this laptop for the same amount of time. I also have Admin rights.
OK, so rebooted the computer ok. Went to open my project file, and within 2 seconds of opening my .cptx file I get an Adobe window error saying, "Adobe Captivate has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Also on this message box is the standard "Tell Microsoft about the problem", a debug button, send error report button, don't send button, and also "To see what data this error report contains, click here" --> So I Click Here and open another window with then gives me the error signature.
The error signature window says AppName: adobecaptivate.exe AppVer: 5.5.0.257 ModName: cpdatabase.dll ModVer: 5.5.0.257 Offset: 0002c3f6. Then there's an option to find out all the technical details about the problem which just opens up strings and strings of information like a log which really means nothing to me. OK, so I closed all of that. By the way, the debug button doesn't do anything, so not really sure why that exists... it's like a false hope, lol.
OK, so first of all I thought I thought my .cptx file must have been damaged during the save/close process when the PC crashed. So I went to open a different .cptx project file to see if that worked, but unfortunately it didn't, same error popped up. Then I navigated to c://Program Files/Adobe/Captivate 5.5 and tried to hard launch the adobecaptivate.exe file from there. Nup, still the same error.
OK, so then I rebooted my pc a couple of times to see if that would refresh any of my directories and tried again, still, same error on any .cptx Cap5.5 file.
Then I thought I'd find a suitable System restore point and try that. Went back one, then two days of system restore points, to no success. Same error when opening my .cptx files.
Then thought to reinstall Captivate 5.5 over the existing install, thinking it might be damaged program file in the executable directory, and hopefully a fresh install would rectify the problem. Did the install, rebooted, and tried to open my .cptx project file. Still the same error appeared.
Was really struggling now. Hit the forums. Then the only other thing I could find via a brief search was a solution to remove all the deletable fonts from c://Windows/fonts directory as previous problems had reported problems with third party fonts. OK, so removed all the fonts I could, and then tried to open my .cptx file. Still, the same error occurred, only this time in a different font, ha! Restored all my fonts as that too was not the solution.
Then I tried to open my Captivate 5.5 .cptx project file with just Captivate 5. OK, Captivate 5 opens, but then I get the error about cannot open the file due to it being open elsewhere etc..... so I put that down to backward compatibility and that Cap5 won't be able to open Cap5.5 projects. But at least now I know for sure, Captivate 5 opens and works. Tried that numerous times just to make sure, so it's definitely a 5.5 issue.
Failing all of that, my last hope was to try to uninstall Cap 5.5 totally and then reinstall 5.5 all together, but I thought I'd check in here first to see if there's a much simpler solution.
So here I am now, hoping someone may have some ideas for me. I feel I've exhausted everything reasonable to my own PC skills and knowledge of dealing with these types of issues so I really hope I can get some support.
I'm happy to send screen shots, log files, or even join a remote desktop session to get this sorted. I'm using all genuine copies of Cap5 and 5.5 with genuine serials all on a genuine Work laptop, and yes, my problem is genuine
I'm a little stressed as I have some deliverables by Monday and I know it's the weekend!!
Thanks in advance!!
Cheers
Kurt

Hi CarynED,
Due to the urgency of my problem at the time, I actually had my laptop reformatted to get Captivate 5.5 to work for me.
But during the stress, no amount of uninstalling and reinstalling of Cap5 or 5.5 helped unfortunately.
To the credit of the previous two replies before yours (parthvyas and puspendra yadav) Thank you for responding with ideas for solutions and support. I unfortunately didn't get the chance to try either of these two options before I went for a hard reformat.
Since then Captivate 5.5 of course works on a refreshed laptop and instal, and I have now even updated to Captivate 6.
Also no CTD's to report to date either. I think I just had hard luck at the time.
Have you tried either of the above ideas or contacted [email protected] as per above? I'd be keen to see how you get on. Good luck!

Menu gets strange in IE7

Hi,
I've created a sprymenu vertical. I had to add a hack so the
iFrame won't show this white frame when mouseover.
It solved the problem on IE6 but now on IE7 the menu get
stretched out and shrinks back on mouse over.
Any idea how to fix that?
here's the link:

Kin...
I am sorry for my attitude. This has been a frustrating
couple of months for me since switching to CS3 and the developer
toolkit. Having been forced at the same time to stop using my
Interakt tools, this has made my life a little stressful.
I put off some sites I needed to develop because I didnt want
to get stuck between software releases, and many of the tools I
took for granted with Interakt, dont even exist anymore.
Add to that the learning curve with Spry, and all the extra
time needed to work with all these tools, and it has been very
frustrating. Please accept my apologies, I know you guys are
working hard on all this, and in the end I'm sure it will all come
together for all of us.
That said.. I did look at that page and its fine in IE7
running Vista. What does this mean. Do I not have the latest js
file? I thought I did. OR does this mean it wont look right in the
other browser versions?
Thank you thank you thank you.... for getting back to me. I
wasnt looking for instant gratification, only to know that someone
was taking the issue seriously. The last mention of it I got was
that it looked fine on your end...so I was worried.
Please accept my apologies for being pushy. What should I do
to get that new file... or do I need to do anything at this point?
Neil

A little stressed
