Did anyone else ever get charged £100 to switch na...

I did !
We had a BT line at home for 16 years prior to changing the name on the bill from my mums initials to mine
( I always paid the thing anyways ), and B.T. insisted on charging £100 and giving me a new replacement customer number! At least I got to keep our phone number. That was back in 2007.
Has anyone else ever had that? I think it's really unfair, and 4 years on I'm still smarting about it.
It made no sense to me back then, and it still doesn't now.

BT contracts are not transferable from one persons name to another. The charge is actually to cancel a contract early while in term, and then BT set you up as a completely separate customer with a new contract.
It would be a lot more convenient if it was possible to simply have the existing contract transferred into another persons name, but it's not a service BT offer.

    No, but when the other party hangs up first I have heard the click of the disconnect.

  • Did Anyone Else Get 5.5.3 update?

    RESOLVED.
    Airport just updated to 5.5.3 while I was out and my girlfriend was using the Mac. Did anyone else get this update?

    Yes, just did and updated without a hitch. I did notice that the AirPort Utility now correctly distinguishes between the generations of the AirPort Extreme ... correctly identifying that I have both a 3rd & 4th generation models. I assume, at this time, it will do the same for the Time Capsule.

  • Did anyone else's ipad2 crash with the latest update of 7.1.1?

    Did anyone else's ipad2 crash after the latest update of 7.1.1?

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Has anyone else ever had a problem where you had to perform 2 datasocket writes before the datasocket read would pick up the change?

    I have a local VI that is simply a control that writes to the datasocket server whenever the control value changes.(the dataitem on the server is permanent - its initialized and never released by the server)
    In the same local VI I have a datasocket read polling a different dataitem on the server.
    The remote machine has a VI that reads the permanent dataitem on the server once per second.
    For some reason, after adding the local VI mentioned above, the remote VI stopped picking up the first change in the permanent variable.
    I'd start both the local and remote VIs...
    Then change the local control and the remote V
    I would not update - as if the datasocket write(upon adjusting the control) did not take place. So I'd change the control value again - this time the remote VI would update to this new value. And from here on out - the remote VI would update correctly. This problem only occurs when the local VI is first started up.
    What in the heck is going on?

    Gorka is right, this came up on Info-LV a few days ago. Someone
    described a similar problem. I replied that I had seen similar
    behaviour, reported it to NI, and they verified a bug. There is no fix
    yet, but they are aware of it and will fix it. No anticipated release
    date for the fix.

  • HT5129 Did anyone else have iPhoto just become unresponsive when it attempted to scan the old mobile me gallery?

    The migration fails, it never ends and makes iPhoto unusable....did anyone else have a similar problem?

    Is it the tell a friend email link that you're referring to? Can you click on the gallery link in iPhoto and get to it online? The link will contain numbers as the folder for the gallery is identified by a 6 digit number.
    If it's the link in the email that gets created by the tell a friend that you're referring to you might post in the Mail forum also.
    All I can think to do is go to iPhoto/Gallery preference pane and stop publishing. Then republish and see if you can get the email link to work.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • TS1424 Has anyone else been falsely charged by apple on their iTunes account. Because I have. I'd like to know how often this happens so I can take action.

    Has anyone else been falsely charged by apple on their iTunes account? Because I have

    If these charges are being made to a credit or debit card, the most immediate thing you need to do is to call your credit card company or bank and report the unauthorized charges. That company can contact Apple if they need additional information.
    Next, log into your iTunes Store account and see if the purchases are reflected in the Purchase History. If they are, immediately change the password to your iTunes Store account, making sure it's not something easily guessed or looked up. Then go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. 
    If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your credit card directly rather than an unauthorized purchase through your iTunes Store account and it will be up to your bank to handle.
    Regards.

  • Has anyone else been getting emails about reseting password

    Has anyone else been getting emails about reseting password when they have not requested it? I have been getting several emails for the past couple of days where it says how to reset when I never asked to do so. Is there anything that should be done about it? Or anything apple can do about it for my email is very different and not easy to guess or duplicate.

    Did anyone else see an Arabic caricature flash briefly when the white screen appeared?  I don't know for sure if it was before or after the "hello" greeting.

    If you leave it alone, it goes through several languages in a loop.
    It's character, not caricature.
