Am I allowed to ask......

Dear Sirs,
Am I allowed to ask a question about the Microsoft Java SDK? Will I get abused?
Windy

Ok, here goes <braces himself>
How the bloody hell do I use the RichEdit object to simply append some text to it?
I know I shouldn't have asked, and know one will care, but if anyone knows, just off hand the answer, that would be great (I promise no more Microsoft stuff!)
I looked on their website, and it's really poor.
Thnaks for any help/non-abuse,
Windy

  • How can I use family sharing, but allow my daughter to purchase with her iTunes allowance without asking permission?

    I love the idea of iTunes family sharing, but I don't think it currently supports my situation.
    My daughter's iTunes account gets a monthly allowance (plus occasional gift cards), and does not have a credit card tied to it. That way, she can buy whatever she wants, but only with her existing account balance.
    I'd like to tie her account to mine via family sharing, but want to keep her spending limited to just her allowance balance. Also, I don't need to grant permission each time she wants to buy something when using her balance. Ideally, she would be permitted to buy exactly as she does now (no permission necessary, no credit card on the account, and only using allowance funds), but also be tied my family account to listen to music I've already bought.
    It appears that my 3 options are:
    Do not do family sharing and keep the accounts separate.
    Tie the accounts together, put "ask to buy" on her account, and then get bugged for permission each time she wants to get something (as well as keep track myself of her going over her allowance and dipping into my credit card).
    Tie the accounts together, don't use "ask to buy", and keep my fingers crossed that she doesn't spend more than her allowance amount (because iTunes would permit spending more than that and charge my card).
    Options 2 and 3 don't work for me, and option 1 doesn't take advantage of family sharing.
    Can I have a family sharing account that *doesn't* charge to my credit card?

    Hello jeffchr,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you don't want to be billed for a family members purchases. I would recommend that you read these articles, they explain the features options. 
    Family Sharing
    All new iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases initiated by family members will be billed to the family organizer’s account.
    Family purchases and payments
    Making purchases
    After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer's card.
    How iTunes Store purchases are billed
    Which payment methods will be used first?
    When you make a purchase, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits. Your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • Are BB technicians allowed to ask for Yahoo! or other third party password?

    Hi, I need to know from the BB policy stand point, if their technicians are instructed to ask for third-party email password for whatever setup/troubleshoot reason.
    Thanks 

    Yes there should not be any problem. How else would you expect them to troubleshoot the issue? You can temporarily chnage your password and then change back to  original pw.

  • Why is pokerstars allowed to ask for credit card inside the app ?

    I'm pretty sure that such thing is banned from the Apple Store.
    It is possible to buy credits for PokerStars inside their Apple APP without using the AppStore.
    Apps cannot have their own built-in way to charge people for their services.
    Apps should only use AppStore to sell stuff with their apps.
    Am I wrong ?
    I sense something wrong here.
    Looks like they are avoiding the 30% fee that should go to Apple.

    let me illustrate it for you

  • Am I allowed to ask about installation rights on new OS ?

    We have two Apple products in our home a Mac Book Air & a Mac Book Pro.
    When new OS get released do we have to purchase the new OS twice, to install in two of our Apple products. I have only one Apple iTune account.
    If any one know the answer or will l have to contact Apple to find out about my rights?
    Regards

    Products purchased from the Mac App Store, including Lion and the upcoming Mountain Lion, are licensed for use on all computers you own or control. So no, you will not need to purchase it twice.

  • How to allow only part of users in AD login sharepoint?

    We have a SP2013 farm using windows authentication. On the AD there are 10,000 user accounts and we have no edit permission on AD. (Hence, I cannot setup any group there) As the Sharepoint admin I only have a list of 1,000 users allowed to access. There
    is no existing group setup to indicate these 1,000 users.
    My question is, how can I allow these 1,000 user login Sharepoint while blocking the other 9,000? 
    My concern is these 9,000 users will get their My Site self-created when he browse the My Site web application. Another concern is when they access some page without authorization, they will get a form allow them asking for access. The site owner may grant
    access to them by mistake which I need to avoid.
    Thanks.

    Hello Mark,
    Regarding the second part of your question. You can uncheck the option 'Allow requests for Access', it is described how in the following thread:

  • Safari asks for password twice.

    I have a membership to a web site. Gaining access to the Members directory requires a user name and password. Once into the member's area there is a subdirectory that contains Quicktime movies to which I should have unfettered acceas. I can access the movies without any difficulty using Internet Explorer or Firefox, but in order to do so with Safari I have to enter my user name and password a second time. The HTML pages inside the Movies directory will draw but I see a question mark where the movie should be and a dialog box demanding my user name and password is presented. It's not a huge problem, but is is an annoyance.
    Is there some setting in Safari I can tweak to stop this from happening? Is this a know bug with Safari? Thanks.

    Thanks for your suggestion, but I've tried it two or three times without success. Maybe I'm doing something else wrong?
    Clicking "Always Allow" adds Safari to "Always allow access by these applications" in "Access Control" and next time I go to that page it just fills in the password and lets me log in without even asking once. I really wanted to keep Safari out of Access Control so it would ask.
    After experimenting, I think the following does what I want...
    1. Create another keychain
    2. Set it to lock 1 minute after use
    3. Click "Always Allow" when asked
    Now I get asked once for the keychain password every time I log in to the site. I guess that fixes it so I'll call this one resolved.
    Thanks your help anyway.

  • Why can't I install the latest version of Flash Player?  I have all plug-ins allowed.

    Why can't I install the latest version of Flash Player?  I have all plug-ins allowed.

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Close the window. Then select
               ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
              When visiting other websites
    From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
    b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Step 6
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
              Flash Player (failing).plugin 
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 7
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 8
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked  
              Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
              Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 9
    Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • To Mac, or not to Mac, that is the question...

    Okay, so I don't know if I'm allowed to ask this in this forum, but I'll give it a try anyway.
    I will be starting college in the fall and will need a computer. I've had myself convinced for a while now that I want a MacBook...but now I'm starting to have second thoughts.
    It's just that I've always used PCs in my life, I know how to do anything I want really on a PC, and I don't know if it's worth the bother to relearn a whole new system. Plus, I mean, I'm starting college, I should know how to use my computer before going, don't you agree? Just how hard is it to adjust?
    Another issue is the whole windows/mac os thing in that I'm worried about programs running on it. I don't really understand how Boot Camp works. You just install Windows XP (do you have to buy it? is it a special mac version?) and your Mac turns into a Windows machine? As in it looks just like my HP lap top looks now, wiht the bar at the bottom, etc.? But then I've read some posts on these threads and ppl say you could get viruses that way b/c you are using windows. Which is one of the reasons I would want to switch to a mac. If you do use Windows and the Mac OS, you can just switch back and forth whenever you want? Are all the programs and files the same then in both systems? Like I wouldn't want half my files to be in one program and the other half in another. I don't know, I don't really understand it all.
    Also, my mom got a MacBook and I guess they bought a new laser printer yesterday and had to return it today b/c they realized it's not apple compatible. They went to Office Max and realized barely any printers are apple compatible! The had the toughest time finding an affordable printer that they liked! How can this be? Is this how it's always going to be when I'm buying accessories?
    I just love all the features the Mac has. I am constantly frustrated w/ Windows and all the **** viruses and adware I have on my computer, which is a major reason for my wanting to switch. FrontRow seems like the coolest thing ever. And the cool magnet things. And I already have an iPod, so they'd run nicely together. Plus, it's pretty. (I know it's a dumb reason to buy a computer, but I'm a girl, what can I say, that stuff is important to me.)
    So anyway, I'm now debating between a MacBook and a tablet PC, possibly Gateway or IBM. Could anyone try to convince me one way or the other (considering I'm on a Mac discussion board, I'm sure it'll be the Mac way)? Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your help.

    My guess is that you're likely to find more Mac users at a college than most other areas, so I wouldn't worry too much about 'making the switch' right before going to college -- you'll have lots of help nearby.
    Boot Camp is pretty cool!
    It's a free utility from Apple that basically prepares your Mac so it can run Windows XP. Boot Camp divides your hard drive into seperate areas (partitions) -- one for OS X and another for XP. Boot Camp doesn't come with a copy of Windows XP -- you'll need to provide that. The XP that Boot Camp installs isn't a special version for Mac -- it's the same version that runs on any computer, although to work with Boot Camp, you'll need an XP install CD that has Service Pack 2 applied. Once XP has been installed on your Macbook, it should look (and act) like XP on your HP (with the exception of any special tools/programs that HP loaded on your HP laptop, obviously).
    When you restart your MacBook, it will boot into whichever OS that you set as the default. If you want to boot into the other OS, you just hold down the OPTION key when you restart and then you pick which OS to load. Your computer is basically divided into two systems, so no, programs are not automatically on both systems. If you install the Mac version of Microsoft Office in OS X, you're not going to have Excel/Word/etc when you boot into XP unless you specifically install the Windows version of Microsoft Office.
    Regarding accessories, you always need to check that they work with OS X. My printer was a problem too. It was an el cheapo Samsung laser printer and Samsung apparently didn't feel like spending the money to write OS X drivers for it, but it turned out that an older Samsung OS X driver worked just fine. I had zero problems getting my Kodak camera to work -- I just plugged it in an OS X started using it ... no drivers to install or anything, which made it way easier than the crap I had to do in XP to get XP to see it. My iPod nano worked with no problems too.
    I really, really love my MacBook. I don't know when you have to make your decision, but try using your moms as much as you can (if you can). I bought a Mac mini for my other half last year (birthday present). I had NO interest at that time in Macs or OS X, but after a few days of watching over his shoulder, I was hooked and got myself a mini (and then a PowerBook and then a MacBook Pro and then a MacBook) .. it's addicting.

  • Iphone's App store rejects payment method, even for free apps! Someone please help me!

    Hi
    Last night i downloaded some apps, that i had to pay for using my Visa Credit Card. I have had this set as my payment method for ages. Anyway, it all worked and i got the apps, but today i tried to download another app, which was free and i had to sign in to my Apple ID or whatever the prompt is, so that i could download the free app.
    I signed in and recieved another popup asking me to sign in and review billing information. I pressed OK and signed in again and was taken to the billing information and payment information page. On this page it says that there was an error with a previous purchase from the App Store and that i must check all my payment information is correct.  All the information that i had entered there when first adding my payment method was still there. Except for the security code.
    I re-entered the security code and pressed done, and the page said that the payment information was not valid, or not allowed and asks me to change my payment information and / or method. So i re-enter all my information for my payment method and it still doesn' t work. It still says that there is an error with a previous purchase and that i must recheck or change my payment and billing information. The error cannot be right though, as all the apps that i have either downloaded or bought have downloaded fine.
    Sometimes the error message changes to saying my payment information has been rejected, which cannot be right either, as i was using the payment method yesterday. I know i don't have any funds in my account at the moment, but that should not be relevant as i am trying to download a free app.
    I tried downloading different free apps, but was unsuccessful.
    Because I spent around an hour or so trying to download the app, i then downloaded the lastest software update, which was 6.0.1 or something. I updated from the 5.something software.
    I was still unable to download anything from the app store.
    I have tried to edit the billing and payment information from the App Store, Safari on the Iphone and from Google Chrome on my computer, none of these have helped.
    If someone has a soloution or if Apple can sort my account out, i will be so grateful.
    I use an Iphone 3gs and updated the software on it after my payment information wasn't working for about an hour.
    A slightly-annoyed person.
    Message was edited by: Entropicaful

    This happened to me about a year ago, call Apple customer service and they should be able to help. It had something to do with Apple's system not reading the credit card info correctly even if it had been stored and worked fine before. They fixed my problem instantly after I wasted alot of time trying to get things to work.
    Hope this helps.

  • Poor, poor service and STILL waiting for a callbac...

    The following information is a partial capture of the service standards that we have received from BT that has led to our complaint being made. Following this extended period of time we have had to take a considerable amount of our time to try to resolve this issue. We have spent a considerable amount of time waiting for calls that haven’t been forthcoming and waiting for engineers. When we did push for an engineer (otherwise we would be waiting for another week of intermittent service) he showed up and had no notes or any idea why we had requested his call out!
    You will notice that the last entry that we have made is for August 31st 2012. We have decided that our time is too important to waste on an organisation that cares so little about their customers that they cannot be bothered to follow up and resolve outstanding issues. The complaint has been sent on September 10th 2012.
    Between August 31st and September we have heard nothing about resolving this complaint from BT, despite assurances that that somebody would resolve the issues raised.
    The overall standard of service of BT has fallen what I would expect as a basis standard and in many cases has been deliberately evasive and obstructive. Frankly, this is the kind of shabby service that is difficult to reconcile with the image of a cutting edge communications provider in 2012.
    We can only emphasise just how let down and disappointed that we are with BT.
    9th August
    We experienced intermittent problems with the broadband connections causing issues with BT broadband, Vision and BT Anywhere mobile.
    We contacted BT to report the problem. It was confirmed that someone from the Technical Team would look into it.
    We spoke with technical team and confirmed that they would complete checks and call back within a specific time.
    10th August
    We had continued issues with broadband, vision and mobile. Losing connection every 3-4minutes throughout the day between the hours of 9 and 6
    13th August
    We contacted BT again to confirm issues still ongoing and broadband intermittent throughout the day. We were assured that line checks would be carried out and were contacted at 9-45pm to explain that the situation would be resolved.
    Various diagnostic attempts were made over this period involving changing filters, unscrewing the phone plate at BT’s request etc…. We were told that it was probably a faulty filter- even though it had been changed…..
    I received a call a couple of days later when I was at work and a co-worker dealt with it. He said the call referred to the BT fault but no message was left.
    In the meantime we received a call from a marketing team offering to sell us BT infinity ‘at no extra cost’…. This would resolve our issues and we understood this call to be part of the ongoing service issue.
    23rd August. After 6pm
    We called through to report a fault again and was on hold for 28 minutes. 13 minutes in I spoke with someone and as I had gone through about the telephone was told it was the wrong department and they would put me through to the broadband team. Total hold time 28 minutes
    Asked to speak with a manager
    Ashalt came on the phone and said that he would speak with a manager in the ‘level two team’ and find out what was happening. I said that I wanted compensation for the issues and the amount of time that this has taken with both myself and my partner. I said that it was not acceptable for this to have taken over 3 weeks to get this sorted.
    He said that he would call me back to discuss compensation as I would definitely receive compensation for this.
    I was put on hold and then his operator came back on the phone to say that she was putting me through. I explained that this was not what was agreed and that the manager was going to come back to me. She said that they have my telephone number and would call me after the call.
    Was advised would put me through to the Level 2 technical helpdesk as this is where it had been escalated and they would find out when an engineer would be sent around.
    Upon being transferred through to Level 2 the lady did not know why I was being put through. I had to explain everything again.
    She then completed the following script again:
    Apologies for inconvenience
    Checking the line
    Taking time with the check
    Problem at the exchange
    Sent a previous request to the wholesale team and they didn't find a problem
    Send a further request
    I explained that we were telephoned to say that due to our complaint they would install BT Infinity as this would help the situation. The lady confirmed that the issue needed sorting out as would still get the same problems.
    I asked if i had been miss-sold BT Infinity to which she said yes.
    Line test results completed and nothing is showing as an error. Explained that someone would need to come and physically check the line. Then told that if there is a fault in the flat we would be charged £99. I confirmed that we did everything that was asked of us and couldn't understand why it would be in the flat. It was again repeated that if there is a fault in the flat then we would get charged.
    The ‘customer service’ operative confirmed that the earliest date for an engineer call out would be Tuesday between 8-1. We suggested that this was not acceptable and that we would be without proper broadband for the whole bank holiday weekend. The lady said that's the earliest available time. She said that she was not sure why an engineer had not been called already
    Confirmed that manager a would call back to discuss compensation. We never received call.
    Saturday 24th August
    The BT engineer came today and fixed the problem within 20 minutes. The fault appeared to be with the connection from the terminal box outside and how our home line was attached to that. The engineer said that he had no notes relating to why we had called him out and was in the dark initially as to what the problem was. Once again we explained the problem.
    We called the cancellation team to find out whether or not there would be any charges related to cancelling all of our BT services. Spoke with John.
    John confirmed that there would be a cost of 159.91. I asked John for clarification of this. He said that we entered into a new 18 month contract on the 27th February. I did not know what this was for and asked for the call to be listened to. John said that they would have needed to confirm that there would be a new 18 month contract otherwise it would be invalid. John said it would take 7days for the call to be listened to. I asked for a full transcript of the call and John said that this would be provided. I asked if these were the only charges as we also have a mobile. John said that was the only figure being given to him. John offered to give me the telephone number 0800 169085.
    We called this number and were put through to the Welsh Language team - Michelle. She then tried to put s through to the correct department. We then went through to the offshore team who then tried to put us through to the correct Team who then put him through to "I'm sorry the number you dialed has not been recognised".
    Called through again to BT 150 number and went through to Rebecca. She managed to find the correct number and put me through to Maureen. Maureen checked the cancellation charges and advised the same figure. Maureen confirmed that she would put a note on the account as well to confirm that this would be the only cancellation charge.
    Correct number 0800 0322111
    12.58
    We received a call from a gentleman pertaining to be a manager. When question he had no idea why he was calling me and thought it was just to check that the broadband was working. I explained that this was a complaint and that a manager was to call me back. He admitted he was not a manager. He was called Jude.
    Jude transferred me through to Molly who was a manager and the phone was cut off.
    Molly then called back. I summarised the situation to her (again) and she confirmed that again it was unacceptable. I asked why I was not receiving a call back from the manager that had promised me the call. She could not comment. I asked why I was receiving the call at the very end of my call back slot as this would mean that I would not have to waste even more of my time. Again she could not comment on this.
    She confirmed that she would definitely help with compensation and that we have been reporting the fault since 9th August I confirmed that 160.00 would be a good starting point. I also asked several times that I wanted a full transcript of all of the calls made. This to date has not been forthcoming. I confirmed that I had been lied to on several occasions, had been given incorrect information, had not received callbacks when I had been promised them even by senior managers.
    I mentioned that the service appeared to be working. Molly said that they would need to wait 48 hours before been able to close off the overall complaints process.
    I asked when we would be discussing the compensation. She put me on hold and said that she would need to speak with the billing team. She then came back on the line to explain that any adjustment would take 48 hours. I said that so basically they haven't said anything and you still need to wait for 48 hours.
    She said that she would call me back on Monday. I confirmed that this was a bank holiday and asked if she was actually working on that day. She confirmed that she would. I mentioned again that it was a bank holiday but she said that she was working. She asked me what time I would like a call back. I asked her what time she started work and she said at 8am. I asked for a call back at 8am. She agreed and confirmed to this.
    We then received a call on my mobile from apparently Molly's manager confirming that we would get a phone call from Monday between 8-9 o’clock am and that they would call within that timescale.
    Monday Bank Holiday
    No call received. Called through to check at 13.47 and advised offices are closed as it was a Bank Holiday
    Tuesday 28th
    Call received and missed at 14.38
    Call returned by me at 16.54
    I requested to speak with the customer complaints manager on hold for 12 minutes.
    The operator advised that he wanted to put me through to level 2 technical support. I said that I did not want to go through to them as they were incompetent and incapable of dealing with this situation and it is very disappointing that I am having to call again and chase.
    Requested to speak with a manager
    Sunny came on the phone and I confirmed that I wanted to make a complaint and that I was not happy. Sunny attempted to put me through to the level two technical team again and I insisted this was not the nature of the call. I wanted to complain. Sunny said that I had not mentioned this and that he could try and deal with the complaint.
    I asked to speak with the center manager and advised that his manager was Rhuel. He then said that he was not allowed to give me the name of the center manager as he was not authorised.
    I explained also that we were mis-sold BT Infinity as we had received a call confirming that they were calling on the back of our issue and that if we had BT infinity it would rectify this matter. We were later advised that even BT Infinity would not have worked until the issue was rectified.
    Complaint finally logged under the following reference:
    VOL012-xxxxxxxxxxx
    Fault logged under reference:
    VOL051-xxxxxxxxxxx
    Sunny then advised that I should call the billing team myself as he only had a limit of £10 compensation. I explained that I cannot understand why I needed to do this and that they could not do this as part of the complaints procedure. He said it would be quicker if I did this. We agreed I would call and then he would call me back on Wednesday between 5-6 pm.
    Sunny did not call back.
    Tuesday 28th August 18.22
    I went through to billing team and I was offered £16.42. I asked about waiving the £160 charge and was told that I would have known about being entered into a contract again. I confirmed that this was not discussed in the call of the 27 February. I was advised that I would have been sent out information and I should have read it. This ‘information’ has never been received. I confirmed that I was not happy with this and asked about about the compensation for my time and emotional distress. It was explained to me that BT don't give out money for that. I asked to speak with a manger
    I was told that Jason Puchowski (who I was told was the manager) was not available and that he would call me back in 48 hours. I explained that this was not acceptable. The operator confirmed that Mr Puchowski would call me back the following day at a time between 2 and 3 pm.
    No phone call from Jason was received
    Wednesday 29th August 5.27
    I received a call asking me if my broadband has been resolved. Understandably I was very annoyed with this as it was not Sunny or Jason calling me back but one of his team who had no idea of what the problem was. He had not even got another manager to call me back. I asked to speak a manager
    I was put through to Sagarika who apparently is Sunny's manager. She said that it was due to personal circumstances that Sunny could not make the call.
    I again explained the situation and that a call had not received a call from Jason. She confirmed what I was saying in that the service was unacceptable, upsetting and distressful and that the current offer for compensation was unacceptable.
    I repeatedly asked to speak with the Centre Manager which by the terms of your complaints policy I was allowed to ask for this. I was advised that she was not allowed to give out those details.
    I asked for the email contact for the center manager as I was putting together the complaint for Offcom and wanted to copy him in. She asked me not to do that and that she would try and resolve this.
    Sagarika said that she would look into this to see what she could do and call me back that evening between 7-8 pm.
    No call back received
    Friday 31st August
    No call back received from either manager. I had received a text from BT confirming that my direct debits were cancelled. I went online to try and reset them but couldn't do this and went through to the billing team.
    Spoke with a very helpful individual who reset my direct debits. I asked if he was aware of a manager called Jason Puchowski. He said that he was. I explained a little to him about the situation and circumstances and he said that he would instant message Jason. A reply came back to say that Jason was away from his desk. Then an email was sent to Jason and the operator, who originally took my call, confirmed that I was calling and that I was very upset. He forwarded to Jason that not only did I not receive a phone call within the agreed time slot but did not receive one within 48 hours.
    This was the last communication that we have received from BT on this issue.
    The only communications that we have received from BT is to tell us to return their ‘BT Infinity’ box within 2 weeks or we will be liable to pay a fee.
    it is now Tuesday 25th September and today I have checked the bill and no compensation or reimbursement has been received.  No telephone call forth coming.

  • How to edit a pdf file?

    I downloaded the free Adobe and i want to edit a pdf file and it wont allow me. asking me to subscribe.

    You want to go to the source program you first edited and authored the file in and create a fresh new PDF from that file. You should always save a current copy of the program file which you authored the PDF file in. Acrobat is not really intended for creating content as such. You can do quick edits in Acrobat by setting up the Touch-up preferences, Preferences>General>Touch up, These should point to the programs you use to edit PDF content, in my case the Object editor is Illustrator and Image editor is Photoshop. Now if you select the touch up object tool and the click on the object(s) you want to edit selecting them, then right click to get the contextual menu and select, Edit Object, Acrobat will create a temp file and open it in the program which you selected in preferences. Do the edit and close the temp file, Acrobat uses the temp file to update the open Acrobat PDF file you were working on.
    Hope this helps
