A very frustrated NEW customer
I have decided to vent some frustration on this forum hoping someone will actually be able to help me or at least point me in the right direction.
I have sent 2 emails to the complaints team with no reply (email below) and have just got off the phone from customer services (who didnt actually seem that bothered by my concerns), the reason why I got in touch with them today was to add another problem to my ever growing list.
Here is the email i sent:
Dear Sir/Madam
I have finally today had my broadband installed (16th July), overall though I am not satisfied with the service that has been provided and feel very let down by BT. I originally placed the order for infinity and telephone on the 21st June 2012 and for it to be installed on the 9th July. The reason why i chose this install date was due to my current contract with virgin media coming to an end and after seeing what “great offers and service” BT were offering i decided to place an order. A week before my install i received a telephone call from the infinity team stating that the install for my broadband would need to be re-arranged as they cant install until my telephone number had been activated. Nowhere online did it say anything about this. I had already arranged to take that Tuesday off work, and in my profession it isn't easy to change my days at such short notice. Also my father is disabled and relies on the internet for shopping and day to day use. I then had to wait for my phone line to become active before a new install date could be arranged, this took a week hence why i am writing this complaint today.
As my previous emails state I don't think this is a good way to start off with a new customer.
It cost me £25 to buy a wireless dongle from 02 so that we were not without internet for the past week, an expense I shouldn't of had to pay out for.
I currently have 3 sky boxes and after the engineer has been today I only now have 1 box connected to the telephone line where as prior to his visit all 3 were connected, this is not down to me nor is it down to sky to resolve. I am not sure if you are aware but all sky equipment needs to be fitted to a working telephone line, if not i am in breach of my contract.
I am also not happy with the wiring that has been put in place, and in my opinion the engineer was rushing to get to his next job
The overall attitude of the delay i have had to wait when none of this was my fault, and in hindsight it would of been a whole lot easier to stay with Virgin.
As mentioned in my previous email ( and I know that you say that your not responsible I still feel as though you are) I went through the quidco website where they were offering £80 cash back, but due to you replacing the order that offer doesn't stand anymore either.
I have different order numbers from you as well, and i am yet to see how this will effect my £100 Sainsbury gift card from yourselves.
New issues 18th July:
No dial tone on my landline
Also after requesting a new telephone number (wasnt given the option when placing the order) on the 16th July, agent telling me it would be active on the 17th by 3pm I still have my old number!
I can be contacted on **********where I hope we can discuss these matters further.
As you can see by the above email I sent things just seem to be getting worse, when speaking to the agent today who's accent wasnt very easy to understand she told me that my dialtone should come back on the 23rd July at the latest.......
I really hope someone can help me as if this continues I will have no option but to cancel and look elsewhere!
oh and one more thing i have confirmed my bt email addrss with customer services but when i try and use it is not recognised meaning i cant set up bt wifi
Sorry to see you are having problem's i had problems with broadband and the only way i could attually get through to them was refussing to pay well it still took them nearly 3 months but hey ho i didn't pay for it. The dial tone is probably to do with none of the other sockets have been wired up as you said just one Sky box is connected take the phone over to their and plug it in to see if you get dial tone. If you get dail tone you know that the phone socket isn't wired up but the line is working.
BT are responsible regardless of them using a different company. The service is what they told you they would supply the failing is on the company THEY USE or HAVE TO USE this is not the customers responsiblity. If i where you use the Sales OF Goods Act 1979 along with the Supply of Goods act 1982 amended in 1994 i have used it on BT and other companies and it got the right effect i was after. Read up about the acts. Argue the goods are a product not a service and is marketed as a product so it all falls on you ISP, BT in this case. All the best

My itunes is on an old computer. So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years. How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again? Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.
I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts. Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins? Really concerned about losing any music, etc.These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

I'm having multiple crashes on my new 5s. I can't connect to my Mac Pro!! Power cord broken. How can I fix this without connecting to my MacBook? Very frustrating and disappointing. Please help!!!
Hi there Rlong50,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

I ordered a new phone and shipped it to a friend in Dubai, UAE. without knowing i have to activate it by making 5minutes calls, please i need a way to activate it without sending it back to the US..any help? this has been very frustrating for me this past few days
scottxx,
That was very nice of you to provide your friend with a new phone! I am sorry to say that the device will not be able to activate while in Dubai. For a device to activate it must connect to the VZW network to become active. I apologize for any inconvenience.

My husband bought me a new Iphone today, but first backed up the old Iphone to Icloud. How do I download the old stuff. Have not been able to follow on-line directions. It's very frustrating. Give me my OLD PHONE BACK!!!
If you still have your old phone back it up via iTunes, then restore your new phone via the old phone's back up. Hope that makes sense.

My new birthday present of an i-phone 4s, can not be synced with the navigation of my 2011 Honda CRV. Can anyone give us hints on what to do, as the Honda dealership can not enable the phone to work with hands free. Help, this is very frustrating as the old cheap phone,worked perfect. Apple did not make this a user friendly product for cars.
Start by reading the User's Guide which will provide details for how to pair the device with other bluetooth devices. This may also require reading the Owner's Manual for the vehicle to find out how to put it into pairing mode.

So why doesn't the new software upgrade the Apple TV to 1080hp...from the 720hp? Do I have to buy a new Apple TV to get that Upgrade? Mine is only about 2 months old! Very frustrating if thats the case!
If you want 1080, you will need to purchase the new Apple TV.

Dear Customer Service:
It is very frustrating for me. My Visa account keeps getting declined at Apple. I used this very same Visa card on Amazon with no problem. I checked my status for
the card and it is still all good. My friends and I buy a lots of Apple applications on iTune.
We have the correct CVV2, Expiration Date and Billing address, but you keeps declining us. Please fix this problem for me. The issuing bank for this card is Techcombank, one of the largest banks in Vietnam. According to the bank, the transaction is processed in the US. This is a legitimate Visa card.
Please let me know as soon as possible. Apple does a disservice to its brand name by declining legitimate Visa account holders from using the cards in Vietnam.
Sincerely,
<Edited by Host>Just as a warning, your credit card number has been sent in the clear to probably thousands of people, including anyone who subscribes to e-mail alerts to this forum. That's very, very bad. The credit card should be considered compromised at this point, and you should cancel it immediately, if you haven't done so already.

I need help installing Lightroom 5. I tried the trial and it does not have an uninstall feature. Thus, I'm trying to activate with my new $9.99 per month subscription and it simply will not work. Very frustrating you already took my money and no results, and very difficult to get help.

Just for clarity, "we" haven't taken your money - this is a user-to-user forum, and you're not talking to Adobe.
Like Rob I'm a Windows user, and - like him - I thought "uninstalling" on Macs was simply a case of trashing the application. Google would seem to concur.
Not really a Lightroom/Adobe issue, then? -

Please try one of HP workstation machines, they are machines which can do the real works. They are much more expensive than your HP 15 . Regards. -
