Can I bypass the "computer says NO mentality"?

Hi,
I recently had a BT engineer out to my hosue to fix a phone line problem. Superb bloke. I wish all those people in sales were as useful as this guy. I mentioned my slow BB speed and lack of infinity (separate topic elsewhere..) and he mentioned that my BB speed is being purposefully limited to 1.5Mbs due to possibe reliability issues. He mentioned that if I am will to "sign a disclaimer" then BT would push my speed up higher. Possilby even to 8Mbs. To be honest, I am happy to do this - but just wondered if anyone has any experience of this? I am going to talk to sales tomorrow - but I have already spent 3 months on/off talkng to them about infinity, so I don't hold much hope of talking to anyone who knows about this disclaimer.
I used to to be "at the end of line" for BB - but we have just had a fibre cabinet fitted in the village which i am told effectively reduces the copper distance from the exchange to your house. So I shouldn't be classed as "at the end of the line" any more.
Any suggestions?
Richard

hi a few things
1 there is no such thing as a disclaimer for speed
2 because there is an infinity cabinet in your village does not reduce your distance from the exchange as that cabinet will only be used for customers ordering infinity
the diiference is that fibre is connected to the new cabinet and that goes directly to the exchange and the the existing copper between the cabinet and your home carries the infinity service normal broadband services are still carried over the existing copper network to the exchange there fore your line is still the same length as before

Is your Apple Intel-based, poppelmacbook? If not, you should consider treating yourself to a new Mac. Last December I gave up my old because it just could not update...anything because it was not Intel-based. Updating everything on this OS to 10.9 has been confusing for me, but I just could not work with that old Mac because the updates were too smart? for my 10.6. It is upstairs now...for visiting family: games, garage band, etc.--things I never did use. Apple refurbished and purchase the extended warranty. Apple loyalist since late 1980's.

I can't get the music I bought while on my computer to transfer to my iPod touch. I synced it but nothing happened. The computer says my Ipod has all the music but the iPod says differently.

I can't get the music from my computer to my iPod touch. I put it in sync mode and the computer says it did the job and transferred the music correctly but the iPod says it doesn't have the music transferred.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

OK, let's try these................
1 - Boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu. When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer. Re-connect your printer.
2 - Download & install the Gimp drivers. Make sure the one you install is compatible w/your OS-Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1. Repair permissions, restart your computer & re-connect your printer when done.
The Epson model I have, in order to get it to print wirelessly, I had to install a Gimp driver.
3 - Check out the following KB Articles:
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Connecting to a network printer
Epson Printer Drivers v2.10 OS X
Adding a printer to your printer list in Mac OS X
Mac OS X 10.4 Help: The printer I'm adding says "Driver not installed"
======================
If still unsuccessful after trying all of the above, the problem could be your iBook or human error. You can either call Epson & ask to speak with a Mac savy supervisor or return the printer & find another that is compatible w/your current OS.

You are looking at the drop-down menus at the top of iTunes e.g. on a Mac :
If you are on iTunes 11 on Windows then press Alt-S and the Store menu should appear at the top.

It looks like the card may be the problem, and your best bet is to try the Card Reader - this will make the card accessible by the Finder and you may be able to drag the pics off to the desktop or, at worst, try recover the pics with an app like MediaRecover

Try

I would start with

or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

No idea what you are saying or asking.

My computer is not recognizing my ipod shuffle. The computer says to use the ipod reset utility. When I tried doing this it told me that it was for a 32 bit version which I obviously do not have. My computer is only a few months old. What do I do now?

My computer is not recognizing my ipod shuffle. The computer says to use the ipod reset utility. When I did that it came up with another message that it was only good for a 32 bit version. I guess I do not have a 32 bit version. I just purchased my computer a few months ago and it uses the windows 7 operating system. What do I do now?

Not sure if this helps:-
The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work. Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them. The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

I'm getting the grey screen during start up and can't boot the computer. I did a cmnd R but worried it would automatically wipe my hard drive and reinstall OS. Is there a risk at cmnd R will result in wiped HD without me actively making that choice?

I'm getting the grey screen during start up and can't boot the computer - MacBook Pro with lion.
I did a command r after doing some research but got nervous that it would automatically wipe my hard drive and reinstall OS.
I was nervous because it asked me for language for software use before any options were presented (such as repair via disk utility). It looked similar to an OS install.So I powered off....Is there a risk at command r will result in wiped HD without me actively making that choice?

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
three times faster than wireless.
