Fantastic news from BT

In my quest for a replacement viewing card I have made 39 phone calls, 19 of which began their tour of BT's departments from the Indian call centre onwards. I have spent a total of 23 hours and 14 minutes in various phone queues, sometimes never speaking to a human being before getting cut off. I have made 3 official complaints and had some help from a moderator on this forum. I once spoke to a guy who said he had only been there two days and he had a list of extensions to put callers through to but he didn't know who they were. Another girl told me she "hadn't been trained on the system" so couldn't help me. I have made so many friends at the Indian call centre that I have been invited to their annual staff do at Xmas.
Now I have had an email from BT saying I will be sent a new card. I have even got an order number - yes it's true, an order number. The bunting is out, the flags are up, the helipad is ready for Prince Charles to arrive to open the envelope. It was an email sent by a BT person who actually put their name on it and even the department they worked at. What next - will they be having one of those customer service thingys?
But will it be sent ??? If so, will it work?? The last one didn't. What a drama, what a farce, that nice chappie Will Shakespeare could have written a play about it. (By the way did you know he is the next one to be named in the Jimmy Saville/Stuart Hall/Rolf Harris business?). It certainly has been much ado about nothing, well just a viewing card. How difficult can that be?
Who was it said "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians"?

Hi Andy_247
Thanx for your comments. What really bugs me is that I've been with BT Broadband/TV/Phones since the day they started it all and yet people in my situation are the ones who are getting a bum deal, having been persuaded to move on to YouView where you can't have Sport on TV unless you're in an Infinity area.
We have only just got used to having electricity never mind Infinity. I am lucky in that I hung on to my old black Vision+ box, many people will have junked them when they got the all singing all dancing YouView box.
Anyway I wish you well. You just have to keep on and on and on, there seems to be no other solution. Like having a part time job really without needing a CV.

Not able to run a program to extract news from news channel websites.

Let me start with stating the fact that I am a super greenhorn, so please be ultra elaborate with the answers .
This is my code, I copied it from Mr. Alvin Alexander (http://alvinalexander.com/java/edu/pj/pj010011?). I am trying to use it to extract news from news channel websites.
I used the following URLs:

// Step 1: Start creating a few objects we'll need.
URL u;
InputStream is = null;
DataInputStream dis;
String s;
try {

Also, when I try a local server URL, the output screen goes blank, which I guess is due to lack of Text on the local URL. So, the little research that I did, made me believe that the code not running on external server was due to firewall on the server side. Please help me run it. Also : I work on a proxy network.( if that has something to do with this).
P.S : Advanced gratitude for any assistance.

any decently secured server would reject such a blatant attempt to steal its content.

I have a pioneer 50 inch plasma   I purchased new from the company back in 2005.   I tried to hook up an Apple Tv to the pioneer receiver that came with the TV.   I can not get it to work.   The receiver has two HDMI inputs in the back.

I have a pioneer 50 inch plasma + I purchased new from the company back in 2005.   I tried to hook up an Apple Tv to the pioneer receiver that came with the TV.   I can not get it to work.
The receiver has two HDMI inputs in the back. However they say they are not for PC's. Furthermore they must be set up by going to the home menu.    I tried everything, but I can not get the receiver to talk to the Apple TV. I even tried a connector that uses an HDMI to the Apple TV that has the other side of the cable as 5 RCA cables. I could not get the receiver to see the Apple TV.   I have a newer TV in the house, it has no problem talking with the Apple TV. But this older system seems to be handicapped in its ability to talk with the newer Apple TV system.
My Email is [email protected]
Do you have any suggestions
Thanks
Bob

I could not access the Apple TV on the television.   If I put the Apple TV directly into by TV, I have an external sound system (entertainment system), therefore I worry that I would by pass the audio.
Thanks for taking your time to attempt to help!   Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do?

The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do? When i go to the camera, it is stuck on a black screen. the only way to use my camera is through other camera apps, but if I try to switch it to the front camera, it freezes again.

If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required. You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button "live radio" I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

That is probably just a generic error message and you might not ever know what is causing it. Assuming that you have been able to play live radio with the app in the past (I know nothing about the app) and assuming that all other Internet related functions (Safari, email, etc.) are working properly on your iPad, quit the app completely and reboot your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that fails to resolve the issue, you might want to reboot your router, unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

New From Template Changes Relative Links to Local Root?

Thank you for taking the time to read and understand my plight with Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac. I apologize for the lengthy question, but in the effort to provide detail I shall go. First the background:
I'm updating, editing, and appending an existing site that was previously created with Dreamweaver.
I'm new to Dreamweaver but have a pretty good understanding of things
I created a new site on the local drive on my MacBook Pro and then downloaded the entire site via FTP (live site: domain.com)
I then replicated the site and exact file structure using FTP to a staging server (staging.domain.com)
There are three existing .dwt templates. I've successfully updated the template file and auto updated all other pages that were based on this template.
But my problem comes from creating new pages FROM the template. It appears that while the .dwt template file shows relative links (../xxxx) in the code, when create a new file from the template the url of these links is replaced by the path to the file on my local drive... I want non of this (.../xxxx) is fine.
What is happening is that a javascript drop down menu is disappearing when I create new from template. I am assuming it's because of the path changes.
This is the ORIGINAL (good) code from the .dwt:

<tr>
     <td height="31">
          <table width="718" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
               <tr>
                    <td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(../images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
But when I create a NEW page from the above template the code is changed to the local path:

<tr>
     <td height="31">
          <table width="718" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
               <tr>
                    <td width="24"><img src="file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/site/site staging master/images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/site/site staging master/images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/site/site staging master/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
To be sure all links in the template file are changed too.
This is the .dwt file itself
This is a random page created from the above template.
And this page was created by simply altering the .dwt template file linked above and then SAVING AS. You can see the relative links remained and the navigation bar looks and operates as normal.
To provide easier visual reference I offer the following:
This is the .dwt file when opened in dreamweaver:
Note the black area where the javascript drop down menu is in the top navigation when the page is correct:
But when I create a NEW page from template this is what I get in the top navigation bar:
And then this is what it looks like when posted:
Ultimately what I'm trying to do is:
1) work on site files on my local drive
2) sync the local drive with staging.domain.com so my client can proof and approve
3) sync to the actual live site at domain.com
I assume I could simply do this by changing the ftp info and given the site structure and all files are same and ideally all links are relative this should be accomplished easily.
Though perhaps my problem stems from the fact my local site is buried several layers deep on my local drive Local Drive/Users/Me/Clients/Client.... etc... but I haven't checked this yet.

Great... Thanks for your patience....
Here are links to all questioned files on the staging server:
This is the .dwt file itself
This is a random page created from the above template that shows the image/navigation incorrect.
And this page was created by simply altering the .dwt template file linked above and then SAVING AS. You can see the relative links remained and the navigation bar looks and operates as normal. (obviously the wrong thing to do.
And this page is one that was created prior to my working on the site and was based on the subpage template and displays correctly.
Now bear with me here as I notice this behavour too.
In the code snipped taken directly from the DW .dwt template (linked above)
<td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(../images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
you'll notice there are two images L-Header-Corner.gif and one that is Header.BG.gif.
The difference here is that the BG gif has a style attributed to it "Background-Image) which is followed by some strange code that says (url)../
Opening that file Background Image and it's a tiny slice of what I think is part of the entire missing gray bar:
In a page that displays correctly the code looks like this:
<td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(../images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
And in a page that is displaying incorrectly the code appears like this:
<td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/koolfog/koolfog website staging/images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
So you can see that the link in this case (with the URL and style) has actually been converted to a site (my hard drive) relative link when saving.
So the pressing question stands: Why doesn't dreamweaver convert that URL link when saving a page created from a template back to the same directory?
Also, it appears that in that .DWT all the links have the leading periods and therefore are document relative... since I didn't set this up, how do you think this happened?

And for Master Layout you can import the PLDs as you created independent Via. Reports And Layout. It will ask you the path to store the PLDs. Give the relevant path and your Crystal Report will be executed......

Need help - have new version of photoshop on trial only ATM...
Want to know - HOW TO:
1. Create new from clipbaord
2. Process multiple files
Please help.

For clipboard copy, I start with File > New and the size will be set to what's in the clipboard. Then once the new file is opened, Edit > Paste will place the clipboard contents as a layer in the new document.
You must remember to use the command Layer > Flatten Image of you want to save as jpeg or any other file format that doesn't support layers.
For processing multiple files,
File > Automate > Batch or

You need OS X 10.8 mountain lion, mirror is a feature of that OS and you need to buy it from the app store, OS X 10.7.5 does not do it.
If you don't want to change visit www.airparrot.com a third party app that can do it.

InDesign CS5- where is create new from template?

Hi,
I was looking for creating something new from one of the default templates of CS5, like I've done in the past with CS3 and CS4. However I find that there doesn't seem to be an option to create new from template.
Am I completely missing where it is? Have they called it something else? Have they removed the default ones completely from InDesign?

I should perhaps amend that to don't waste time with a template for multiple labels on a sheet. If you see something that works for you as far as basic layout, make a one-up lable from it (cupy the elements from a single label into a new file sized for only one label). Get a sheet full of blank labels, place that file in the upper left position on your larger sheet layout, then use Edit >Step and Repeat... to make the grid. This is much more efficient as it allows you to edit the entire sheet at one time by editing the single label file.
If you need to d a data merge, you can do nearly the same thing -- put a single blank label layout in the upper left position, add your merge field placeholders in that one label, and run the merge. DO NOT put anything beyond the single label layout on the sheet for a Data Merge job. Also, note that there is a bug in CS5/5.5 that will give you an incorrect multiple records merge if you try to preview. If you preview you must use Undo before the merge to go back to the pre-preview state.

Preview "New From Clipboard" issue

I used Preview's "New from clipboard" feature to send a small piece of a larger .pdf and then emailed that .pdf to a client. He sees the small section on his Mac in Mail, but when he opened it by double-clicking on it, it opens the entire original .pdf! This is a major issue with sensitive documents. Is this a bug, or is there a way to make sure that the "New from clipboard" document is only the part intended? Odly, when I open the new .pdf on my Mac, it only opens the small part, *** is the expected behavior.

Can anyone else replicate this behavior, or is it only me?
