BT Cloud PIN Issues

Having a frustrating time here, and trying, but mostly failing to be positive about a change I did not ask for.
So I've played ball and asked for a Cloud PIN (err why? It's BT offering it me in the first place, and BT has all my account info already!)
Nevertheless the letter arrived yesterday, no hints about PIN expiry. I try to set it up today and it fails.
Firstly telling me the PIN has expired and/or is incorrect (no, I can get 4 digits right) then eventually telling me I need to wait 24 hours before I can try again due to incorrect attempts. Brilliant.
So, simple questions, hoping this will not turn into an epic (that's after spending 10 pointless minutes on the phone when I was called over this one)
-Does the PIN have a validity period, if so how long, and does it take into account the tragically pathetic service offered by the Royal Mail?
-If I try again in 24 hours or so, and it still fails, what do I do next?
thanks in advance

Updates...
Even though I have not been able to reach a webpage where I could request a new PIN, a PIN letter arrived in the post 20 minutes ago. I duly tried to log on to www.bt.com/mypin, logon accepted,  but instead of taking me to a page where I could enter a PIN, it immediately went to the error "you have exceeded your incorrect attempts limit. please try again in 24hrs". Puzzled.
Called the suggested number (not the one I called yesterday as per the details in the PIN letter(s)) After a lengthy hold I spoke to someone and explained what has happened. Eventually I was able to get the point over that I was still getting an error, even though I had not had the chance to actually input the PIN.
On providing my PIN and account info, the person then confirmed my PIN was actually active, and the suggestion is that the premature error is based on my old PIN issues, and to try once more, with new PIN in 24 hours.
I'm expecting a reasonable hangover in 24 hours time, as I'm on a stag night tonight, so I really hope I don't have to get on the phone again tomorrow

    After the i-cloud server issue yesterday, November 26, 2012, my i-cloud mail account on my Macbook Pro stopped receiving mail.  I changed some mail account settings to fix the issue, and was able to start receiving e-mails.  However, all of my historical e-mails are gone.  How do I retrieve all of my old e-mails from the server?

    What settings did you change, what were the changes, have you visited www.icloud.com to see what mail is actually there? and do you have a backup?

  • Bt Cloud Pin

    Ok so i fill all the info needed to be able to use Bt cloud and wait for Pin to arrive....Pin arrives go back onto the site to enter pin and states Pin has expired...I have only just recieved it through the post!
    If there is an expiry on these pins why send by post send by email!
    Totally give up seems everything BT does seems to be different to any other company in the way of doing things and then when they do send out these 4 digit pins they state expired!!!!
    I AND OTHERS SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM !

    @Simon
    Yep, same issue here. Whilst I've been invited to contact a mod (done, awaiting next steps) I've also just tried calling the 0800 number that's been supplied. The call centre person I spoke to told there had been some major Cloud outage which meant the issued PINs would not be valid, and lots of people have this problem. Went through the rigmarole of trying again, only to get the "exceeded incorrect attempts" message" (wrong, I put the issued number in)
    Then told to wait another 48hrs, try again, ignore the "enter PIN" prompt, goto "continue" where apparently another page will appear inviting me to apply for a new PIN as one has not arrived. Then I should expect a new PIN letter to arrive in .......7-10 working days. Awesome.
    I asked the question why the count against invalid PIN entries could not merely be nullified, allowing me to use the existing PIN, but they can't do that. Seems a missed opportunity there, as that would be quick, easy, and cost effective to BT where additional letters and postage are concerned.
    Sorry but this seems another ill conceived plan, and doesn't really launch a new service that was not asked for, in the best way, IMHO.
    Should my contact with Mods move things along, that would be great, and I'll update.

    Hi,
    Following the resolution guide for this issue on the adobe site, I have deleted the opm.db file from the oobe folder.  But the issue still remains.
    Steps carried out
    Quit the app
    Deleted opm.db file

    same error
    I have also done a restart after deleting the file.

  • 11g - 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit PL/SQL library cahce pin issue

    We just upgraded our production a couple of months ago to 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit and having a lots of fun :) The main issue we started to see is that we tried compiling the package the other day (the package which doesn't have any dependency at all) and it just got hung. We tried again the same thing again later and it just didn't compile and just got hung. Then later DBA called us saying that database had about 100 copies of the PL/SQL block in the memory that are trying to do library pin. At this point of time the database started to reject new connections therefore the application started to fail. Then we looked at the library pin and found 100s of the statement below - basically for the same package that we are trying to compile - we use the HTP package call to present the web page from PL/SQL. Any hint on what might have happened:
    - call that is generating the library cache pin wait events:
    declare
    rc__ number;
    simple_list__ owa_util.vc_arr;
    complex_list__ owa_util.vc_arr;
    begin
    owa.init_cgi_env(:n__,:nm__,:v__);
    htp.HTBUF_LEN := 255;
    null;
    null;

    if ((owa_match.match_pattern('cms.era_data_view.show', simple_list__, complex_list__, true))) then
    rc__ := 2;
    else
    null;
    null;
    cms.era_data_view.show(p_page=>:p_page);
    if (wpg_docload.is_file_download) then
    rc__ := 1;
    wpg_docload.get_download_file(:doc_info);
    null;
    null;
    null;

  • EPrint / cloud print issue.

    Hi,
    I have 3 HP Officejet Pro 8600 + printers running on different network setups at 3 different locations.
    When I try to print from remote locations using Google Cloud Print, it doesn't work.
    When I login to HP eprint manager (https://www.hpconnected.com/us/en/#devices/) the printers are each listed as "Online - Problem with Printer". When I select "Problem with Printer" I receive the following error.
    An unspecified problem was reported. Please check your printer. See printer front panel for information on resolving this condition
    This is really beginning to frustrate me.
    So that you are also aware, the problem occurs on devices including:
    my Macbook Pro (OS X v10.9.3 - latest at this time) using Chrome (v35.0.1916.153 - latest at this time).
    my iPad (iOS 7.1.1 - latest at this time) using Chrome (v35.0.1916.38 - latest at this time).
    my Fiancee's iPad (iOS 7.1.1 - latest at this time) using Chrome (v35.0.1916.38 - latest at this time).
    The devices are connected to the following modem/routers at the 3 different locations:
    Netgear DGND3700v2 (with latest software)
    Netgear DGN2200v3 (with latest software); and
    D-Link DSL-2890AL (with the latest software)
    And just so we are absolutely aware, my Xerox at the office works perfectly using cloud print!
    Thanks.

    Hi masinij,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. 
    HP Connected sometimes gives a false report that there is an unspecified problem with the printer. HP has been able to reproduce the error.  If there was a true error, then the message would point to the problem (low on ink, out of paper, etc). The unspecified error message will not stop you from using ePrint and Google Cloud Print.
    Are you able to send an email to each of the printers ePrint email address and have it print?  If it doesn’t print, what does your HP connected account say about the failed print job?  I’ve included the Learn About Print History in HP Connected for reference.
    If the email prints successfully, that would indicate that ePrint is working.  I have included Google’s Cloud Print Help section.  It has a section titled “Troubleshooting Google Cloud Print”.

  • Creative Cloud App issues

    This CC desktop app constantly crashes and will not reopen. I have to uninstall and reinstall it at least once every couple weeks so it'll work. I won't get any error that it stopped working, it just won't show up in the Menu Bar anymore. trying to launch it does nothing. restarting my machine once or twice will usually bring it back, but for only a while. Tried quitting the process in the Activity monitor and re-launching the App, but that doesn't work either. This is very annoying. is there some wort of conflict with a traditional install of CS6 and the new CC?
    System info:
    OS 10.7.5
    Mac Pro 5,1 - 2 x 2.66Ghz 6Core
    64Gb RAM
    Geforce GTX 570 2.5Gb

    I think I've tracked down the source of this issue, but it nearly destroyed all versions of any Adobe application on my system. I have every version of Production Premium from CS4 on my system incase I have to go back to it for any reason. the conflict came about when I noticed the Adobe Application Manager Loaded in the Dock, but had locked up. (I think AAM may have been activated from the new AE CS6 - 11.0.3 update). I force quit the AAM and shut down all my apps. Then tried loading AAM again, it still froze. I restarted, reset the PRAM, repaired permissions, verified the system disk, but AAM would still not load. I ran the Cleaner Tool to remove the Creative Cloud Desktop Application.  then restarted my computer. AAM came up and offered to update AE CS6. I let it install, closed it out and then started to deauthorize and uninstall my older versions of CS. I started with CS5 but AAM wouldn't load anymore. it just locked up right after launch. Since I couldn't uninstall anything, i ran the cleaner tool and removed only CS5. doing so removed any ability to run any Adobe program at all on my computer. AE couldn't load because it said QuickTime was no longer installed and immediately quit. After a Time Machine restore of the adobe files in the HD/Library/Application support and ~/Library/Application Support plus all the Preference files, the applications finally loaded again. I then reinstalled the CC Desktop Application which actually loaded and it told me to update AE CS6, doing this corrupted CS6 and that had to be restored from Time Machine as well.
    after all that, I'm back to where i was in the beginning; AAM won't load, I can't uninstall older versions of the software and it's only a matter of time before the CC app stops working again. add to that the wondrous updating corrupts your application thing.

  • How do I get Apple to fix an incorrect pin issue in maps?

    There is a very popular place near downtown Atlanta called Atlantic Station.  It has Businesses, Movie Theatres, Restaurants, Bars, etc.  Apple drops the pin on my quiet street instead of the real location.  We get a steady stream of cars with people looking at their phone with a puzzled look on their face.  Every chance I get I give directions and ask if I can use the "report a problem" feature.  This hasn't helped and the issue still stands.  I even filed a bug with the Apple Bug Reporter, as per the suggestion of an Apple Employee.  That was December of last year ... never received any reply.
    Any suggestions on how I might get in touch with someone at Apple to get this fixed?

    No, they do not. Feedback is at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link. Report map issues with the Map app. I know you will not receive a reply from the feedback page, but I'm not sure if you get a response from the Map report. The map data issues are sent to the provider of the map data. That is not Apple itself. I know this has been discussed a lot, and I don't know any other way to handle it. Sorry.

  • Creative Cloud updating issues (OSX Mavericks)

    I've been having major issues with updating Creative Cloud apps on my Macbook Pro; I simply cannot update an app. I've tried uninstalling CC, cleaning it with the Cleaner tool, installing it through a root account, etc. etc. but it will simply not work.
    Yesterday I again removed the whole Creative Cloud install, cleaned it with the Cleaner tool, and reinstalled everything on my Macbook. Installation of every app hangs at 90%, but when I cancel the install, it appears to have installed the app fine. After install, the Creative Cloud Desktop tool mentions the freshly installed Photoshop CC has an update, but when I select update it hangs at 0% forever, not updating at all.
    What can I do to fix this?

    The Golden Master is actually the exact same version that will be released to the general public in the next few weeks. A Golden Master used to be the master disc that was sent off to production (think of CDs/DVDs, etc.), and now it just denotes the final build that will be seeded to the public. 
    I have seen some responses by Adobe stating that they will update CC in time before the launch of Mavericks to make it compatible, so it shouldn't be too big of an issue.

  • Creative Cloud collaboration issues

    I'm having a few issues with an indesign CC file on Creative Cloud.
    Firstly, although I have no missing font warnings, and I've double checked my Find Font panel, the document isn't rendered on Creative Cloud with the correct fonts.
    Secondly it includes, in its typeface list, a typeface that is not used in the document.
    Thirdly, it is a four page doc and I can only view the first page.
    These issues render the platform almost completely useless for collaboration with a client.
    Anybody out there had similar experiences or can tell me how I can rectify matters?
    I've tested this with Safari 6.1.1 and Chrome 33.0.1750.152 on Mac OS 10.8.5
    Thanks

    Just an update as I think I have one problem solved.
    Problem: Can't view multiple pages in an indesign doc
    Possible cause: this particular indesign file began life as a single page doc.
    Fix: since I've changed the filename of the indesign doc, Creative Cloud appears to recognise that it has multiple pages!

  • Unity 4.05 Bulk import and bulk edit PIN issue

    Hi Unity community!
    I have previously used Bulk Import successfully many times in the past. Now however, it appears the DTMF PIN is not being assigned the default PIN for some reason. Also tried defining explicitly in csv input, no help. All subscribers add ok, put when trying to access mailbox for first time it says PIN is not valid. Also tried using bulk edit after the fact to force PIN to a known value. (with trivial psw allowed turned on). Bulk Edit says it changed PIN but same result. Does not take PIN. If we create a mailbox using standard Web/sa Add subscriber. it works fine, default PIN works.  Any thoughts? Thanks, Tim          

    When you were placing the internal test calls, where was your phone located?   The RTP streams are usually only set up between the two endpoints (assuming no transcoder or MTP is used).
    Have you have already checked calls between IP phones at your central site (where Unity is located) and IP Phones at site A?   Are these working fine?   If not, then it's likely you do have a QoS issue over the WAN to Site A.
    Have you confirmed whether or not calls from the PSTN gateway at site A experience any voice QoS issues when transferred to an IP Phone at the central site?
    Is the same codec is being used for the MGCP gateway as for IP Phones at that site (check the Region settings for the Device Pool it's in)?
    If these things have all been checked, then you may want to consider collecting a simultaneous sniffer trace from each end of a single call, and comparing what's seen at the two endpoints.
    Kind regards,

  • Vmm Protection Error, Unable to perform the live migration due to cloud protection issue for G2 system..Error (23833)

    Error (23833)
    The selected cloud does not support protection, or the recovery point objective requested for the virtual machine xxxx (30 seconds) is not within the range that the cloud supports.
    Recommended Action
    Select a different cloud, enable protection for the cloud, or change the requested recovery point objective for the virtual machine to a value greater than or equal to NO_PARAM seconds, and then try the operation again.

    Microsoft has not provided me with much support on this issue, but I was able to resolve this myself. What you need to do is remove the DR Protection attribute from your VM using the command below.
    Source:
    Stop protecting a virtual machine
    $vm = get-scvirtualmachine -Name "SQLVM1"
    Set-SCVirtualMachine -VM $vm -ClearDRProtection
    It is important to note that this command does nothing, unless the Azure Site Recovery provider is installed on your VMM server, and your VMM server is registered in ASR. Once I had run this command against my virtual machines, I was able to uninstall the
    provider and unregister my server from ASR. Now my VM's are free to live migrate again.

  • MAJOR Creative Cloud installation issues - any advice?

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop a few weeks ago on an older computer and now want to install a second copy on a new computer (Mac Mini, brand new with plenty of memory and disk space)... I started by downloading Creative Cloud to install. On both Firefox and Safari, the link to install comes up as an 'address not understood...' Looks almost like a bogus link. If I skip this step and jump directly to Photoshop installation, it takes me to a page that asks me to click on the link to install Creative Cloud... and now I'm in a circle.  If I switch over and install Adobe Applications Manager, I get a message saying that the "Installer failed to initialize, please see Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." When I click on the link in that box, the site tells me that the product is no longer available. I've been working on this problem for about three hours now, and every link I can find online to the Creative Cloud download goes to a bad address. I've also empties the browser cache, zapped the PRAM... all kinds of things. Still, no luck.  Anyone got an idea of what might be causing this? Install was so easy a few weeks back on my older Mac (both are running Mavericks most recent OpSystem....).
    Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated!
