How difficult can BT make it to find the cost of a...
I wanted to find out how much it was going to cost me to phone my garage, which has a number 08433 08 02 86.
How difficult can that be? Google does not know. BT search does not know. ON about my 5th attempt I found a link that took me to the BT pricing download section. There must be a hundred downloadable zip files. The one I tried had 1001 (yes, one thousand and one) files in it - htm and pdf. I had to guess as they had names like FrameworkIMP8745874574.htm
Could not find anything that made any sense, so I went back to searching the web site..
I thought I finally had a solution, which linked me to http://www.bt.com/pricing/current/Call_Charges_boo/1632_d0e5.htm#1632-d0e5 which is a page where I had to go to more pages. In the end, it required me to look up 3 different pages to find out how much a call to a number 08433 08 02 86 would actually cost.
Do you realise just how many different tariffs there are for all of the different numbers? I had thought 084 was a local number, but it seems 08 is just a non-geographic and specialist code that could cost almost anything. The price lists are updated constantly, so if you did download a copy, it would be out of date very soon.
I am appalled that BT don't have a quick way of searching for the cost of a call. Clearly they can do it very quickly in the billing software. Why do they make it so difficult to find the information for a normal residential user? Is this not what databases are for? Surely I should be able to go to a page that allows me to ask the question "How much will it cost me to call the following number?"
08433 08 02 86
That is nearly how I eventually found it. But it was far from easy to find, and it is extremely difficult to use.
Initially I found http://www.bt.com/pricing/index.htm but for goodness sake, it is just incomprehensible at first sight, and second.
To find 08 numbers other than 0845 and 0870, you have to scroll down to
Section 2:Call Charges & Exchange Line Services
then find
Part 13:National and International Number Group Codes Used for Specialised Services - 08xx Numbers
As you say ,
http://www.bt.com/pricing/current/Call_Charges_boo/1632_d0e5.htm#1632-d0e5
There are different sections in the left hand frame of that page that give other numbers
I found instead of your pdf, which is a big download that goes out of date, you need this web page for charges:
http://www.bt.com/pricing/current/Call_Charges_boo/0016_d0e5.htm#0016-d0e
and tehn as each line on the first web page gives a discount code, you need this page for hte discounts.
http://www.bt.com/pricing/current/Call_Charges_boo/1632_d0e48078.htm
Now can someone tell me that this is an easy way to do it?

I simply want to record myself reading a story and share it with others. How can I do this simply? I find the Garageband interface is not intuitive about this at all. Or would the voice memo recording work better? Thanks.
Thoughtful
You just need to adjust two default settings:
Turn off the metronome and count-in in song settings.
Set the Song setting section length to auto.
You can now record a section without it being prematurely stopped.
GarageBand has can record a maximum 320 measures (bars). At the slowest metronome setting of 40bpm and with a time signature setting of 4/4 (the maximum beats per measure) this gives a theoretical maximum of 32 minutes recording time.
Hope this helps

How difficult can you make it! wanted to print from ipad to wifi photosmart c6180.
I have an iPad3 and Photosmart C6180 WiFi in my network.
Installed HP Home&biz. Why does connecting/finding to the printer so long?
While it took so long I bought 3 (NOT HP) apps to get it working....
One of those, PrinterShare find my printer directly after start. So is is possible....
Is HP planning the option to print from the browser to?
Finding information is a lot of work. I am not the first going to a forum while it does not work, and than find out during my search that suddenly the printer is found.Hello hmroep,
Your c6180 was not made to work with any of the HP web services. That is why the Home & Biz app will not work. The app that you did get to work was desigined by a third party, and is not supported by HP. To the best of my knowledge, HP has not plans to upgrade older printers to have web services capabilities. The companies that have released apps that allow you to use non-ePrint printers to print from mobile devices, can tell you more about how those apps work.

How can I make a folder in the TV for my home movies
How can I make a folder in the TV shows for my home movies collection? I have created a folder in the library in finder and put all the videos in there but they do not appear in itunes.
pshultzIt's best to never move iTunes media around in Finder. Add it to the Library through the iTunes interface by dragging them into the window. Once they've been added to the library, you can try using Get Info on the files in iTunes and change the tag info to make them group together. (A unique album name should do this.) If you want them to be included with TV Shows, you can try using Get Info to set the Kind to TV Show (found under the Options tab in Get Info), but I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise, you could make a playlist and drag them into to access them all in one convenient spot.
If you add the items as noted above and they still do not appear in your library, it's probably because they are not a compatible format.

How can I make different catalogs from the same image
How can I make different catalogs from the same image where that image has been changed in some way between the catalogs. For instance if I wanted to have a catalogs for cropped images and have 3 catalogs one for 4x6 , 5x7 and 8x10 cropping. When I tried this , if I changed a file in one catalog that same image in the other would change also.
Do not confuse the creation of the crops and the display in collections per crop ratio.
Of course one virtual copy (VC) per crop ratio is needed. If the same image should be cropped in all 3 mentioned ratios there would be 3 VCs.
The OP asked how to have/see a set of same-crop-ratios.
After having created the virtual copies for whatever crop ratio he wants, the way to display this result in the fashion asked for is via smart collections, provided they can be found. Without a plugin the naming of the VC with the crop ratio applied is a straight way to achieve that.
IF the wish is to get new crops automatically added. (See my answers 2+3)
IF the wish is to creat static collections per crop ratio for a certain set of images, I'd go as follows:
1. Select all images you want to have cropped in that way,.
2. With this selection click on the + to add another collection and fill the dialog box like this:
Then navigate into this newly created selection and perform the 4x6 crop - according to taste individually or by synchronizing the first crop.

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?
You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

How can you make your persona show on the top and bottom?
Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?
How can I make iTunes sort on the first word by default, even though that word is "The" or "A"?
I myself think that (for instance) "A tribe called Quest" should be sorted under "A", not "T".
Now I can edit the sort options manually per track and/or per selection, but I would really like to just kill this "iTunes-knows-how-you-should-sort"-feature in iTunes.
Anyone any suggestion on how to do that?
ThanksHere is a modified version of one of Doug's Scripts. My modification was to add Sort Name to the list of tags that could be changed. I tried it on a single track and it worked. I recommend backing up your library first. Select the tracks you want to change (or all tracks) and run the script from the Applescript Editor. If it works as intended, save it so you can apply it to newly imported tracks. And, yes, I know this isn't the exact answer to your question, you want to change a preference setting in iTunes (if there is such a setting).
Original script can be forund at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=thistagthattag
Modified script is below. Start up Applescript Editor, paste it into a new window. Start up iTunes and select the tracks to modify. Click Run in the Applescript Editor. Follow the instructions.
(* Put This In That
v2.0 april 22 2008
- runs as universal binary
- adds "Show" tag
- consolidated code
- saved as script bundle
v1.7 October 3, 2006

Logically a structure something like below should work BUT whether or not it will upset the FG I don't know as I wouldn't ever use it.

How come I can buy foreign books through Amazon as e-book, but the same book can't be downloaded from iTunes? That doesn't makes sense.
Why would you think that all stores would have the same policy?
Amazon allows it, iTunes does not. That is why. Like most companies, Apple does not forward explanations to al of their decisions to the general public. It does not have to make sense to you, for it to be true. Apple has teams of experts that have determined that this is how they should conduct their business.
With iTunes, you cannot use other countries stores.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Apple's policy on sales of digital content is that all sales are final. If however you wish to appeal to Apple, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will not be redirected to the report form, in this case use the report a problem option from the invoice that was emailed to you.
I believe your issues are probably a network issue, which unless you resolve are likely to be repeated again.
