How Exactly Are You 'Meant' To Log Onto BT Wifi?

Can someone tell me what exactly are you meant to use to log in to a hotspot ?  Is it the BT ID/Password you access your online customer account with?  Is it the @btinternet.com with the same or different password?  Is it something else?
We got BT Infinity this past Monday (that bit works fine).
We can see/access the local hotspots (BT Wifi/FON), but they fail to recognise our logins details as valid.
When I use our valid BT ID/Password on the "Check the status of your BT Wi-fi account" page, it reports "Enter valid Username". If I switch it for the @btinternet.com address we were given, it says "Authentication failed. Invalid username or password" .
The "Register for BT Wi-fi", section says "Enter valid Username" or "Resubmission Error!" respectively.
To make matters even more confusing, when our broadband was originally switched over to BT from Plusnet (but the engineer had not arrived yet) I phoned up to ask how to access a hotspot, and a lady in one of the Indian call centres gave me a string of numbers to use as a username/password (eg 10563482 cgnywtbe).  Suffice it to say this made no sense, nor did it work.
So exactly what is the correct process?

  • Trouble claiming OSX Mountain Lion - When are you meant to receive the email?

    When are you meant to recieve the confirmation email, it's been a day and I'm not sure if my claim has been successful or not. I bought my iMac from an official apple reseller who had not the mountain lion in stock yet.

    Apple has been making changes all over the place in the last few days. With those changes come problems, like Email notifications for this forum were out for a day +. And some people have not been able to sign in to iTunes store. And some people have been unable to even sign up for the ML free upgrade.
    So all these changes may affect the delivery of the ML code email. If it doesn't show in the next day or so then call Apple.

  • [SOLVED]How exactly are USB drives mounted?

    When I plug in a USB drive, Cinnamon brings up the device in Nemo so I can see its files. The location it's mounted at is /run/media/<username>/<long string I assume to be a UUID>/. How is it that I can mount it again at another directory and use it from there? Also, when I unmount it from the second directory, is it already safe to remove it or do I need to unmount it from the first one as well?

    I had it mounted at that default location and then I had mounted it onto ~/mnt (I recreated /mnt in my home directory)
    tomk wrote:You seem to lack some understanding about your own system. If your USB devices are automounted when you plug them in, that's because you configured your system to do that. The fact that you are asking how that works should worry you IMO.
    I never configured my system to do that. When I used Arch and XFCE, I don't remember USB drives being automatically mounted. I had to do it myself. Cinnamon apparently does it automatically. What I wanted to know was why, if it does it automatically, does mount not give me an error about trying to mount the same partition again in a different place.
    Thanks for your answers everybody.

  • How do i log onto public wifi

    hi, i am a relative newcome to ipad.  how do I log onto wifi in a public place?

    Use Settings > Wifi. This will show you a list of WiFi networks that your iPad can see. Public networks are usually not locked (no padlock icon - which requires a password to sign on). To signon touch the network name. Many public sites will direct you to a web page to agree to conditions of use on their network.
    See here. http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/wifi/

  • How exactly are item shown in item LOV on PO Line

    Hi everybody,
    I want to understand how exactly items are shown in item LOV on PO Line.
    The reason I am asking is we can set purchaseable property on individual organizations not just at validation organization .
    what I mean is lets say if I have three organization in a operating unit Organization A,Organization B and validation org Organization V.
    now item X is assigned to all organization but purchaseable only in B and V.
    If I am creating PO,should I see this item in item list on PO line?
    At this stage I wouldnt have entered ship to organization , so if system is going to show me this item and I am going to select organization A in ship to organization field in Shipments screen, will system prevent me?

    All the items that are purchasable in the organization which is chosen as validation organization in the purchasing options ->purchasing will show up. Usually this is master org. If you are controlling this attribute at the child org level, it will still show up in the LOV in PO Lines as this is defined as Purchasable in the master org which you might have used as validation org. But if the item is purhsable only in B anv V and only these two orgs will come in the LOV in the shipments.A will not come in your case.
    Thanks

  • How exactly do you Export GB midi song so it Sounds at the level of prof CD

    I mean volume.
    Because i've tried it many times and
    either the made CD that i make, the song sounds too low volume even if i put the CD Boombox at full volume, the song is at a looow volume,
    or other times it sounds SOOOOO loud even at 5 percent of the total CD boombox volume.
    I've treid it with Normalize option on and off.

    A couple of things maybe worth mentioning...
    Modern CD's are way over compressed and too loud...it's not a bad thing if your tunes are not as loud necessarily.
    However, if you want them that way...you need to work with the tools to do so.
    For a typical GB user that means working with the tools provided in GB or using third party plug-in.
    Of which there are many to choose from at vastly differing prices.
    An example of a good sounding 3rd party plug-in that is also inexpensive and easy to work with are Stillwell's Major Tom and Vibe EQ.....
    http://www.stillwellaudio.com/?page_id=13
    If you don't want to do the work or understand the process....options are using pre-sets.
    Ozone 4 for example can be downloaded as a demo. And includes quite a few presets.
    http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/ozone/
    While it may seem daunting to understand..it's not really...google how to use compressor's. Check youtube for it too...I think you will see it is not that hard and the rewards far outweigh any reluctance to learn it.
    On another note why are you exporting Mp3's?
    Export your audio as 24bit Aiff's.
    Encode from there...

  • Logging onto a WiFi hotspot

    I'm trying to log onto WiFi at Starbucks.  My Pre sees the network (AT&T WiFi) with a strong signal.  But usually this network requires me to give a username and password when opening a web page.  When I open my browser it does not take me to a log in page.  This makes me think that I am being connected through the phone/3G browser and not through the WiFi.  Any suggestions on how to bypass the phone browser in order to use the WiFi?
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    Try connecting to a network with an ethernet cable and see how it performs. If that is also not responding this would indicate a possible software error.
    problem with my battery and all the owner's said that you just have to take it to the Apple store and get a new batter)? If I can't take care of the the defect(s) here is there any way to extend my warrenty for a month
    Apple does not cover batteries under warranty as batteries do loose their capacity over time. If a battery suddenly stops working then apple may look into that. You would have to speak to apple care about that.
    You cannot extend a warranty for 1 month you could purchase apple care and get 2 years of extended warranty. Although if the problem is reported to apple care prior to your warranty expiring then you may be ok, but I stress you would have to talk to apple care directly about this.
    Why not take the mac into the apple store I am sure you can make an appointment to see an apple genius anywhere in the world.

  • I can't log onto my WiFi with my Touch

    I'm using my Touch, AirPort Express and the remote app to control iTunes and play music through my stereo.
    I like it but I'm having some problems. For some reason I can't log onto my own wifi with the touch when I have the wireless network secured, even when I type in the networks password. When I have the wireless security disabled it works fine but when I make the wireless connection secure I can't log on.
    Does anybody know how I can solve this problem? I love the set up but it does me no good if I'm vulnerable to hackers. What am I doing wrong?
    I don't know if it matters but I have a Linksys router.

    I have a PC if this helps.

  • How happy are you with Tiger?

    Is Tiger "buggy"?, or does it work smoothly? I'm considering upgrading from Panther. Would I regret it?
    Thanks.

    I'm basically satisfied with Tiger, but there are a number of "anomalies" that I keep stumbling over.
    Biggest problem: if you have to deal with any OS9 machines, YOU CAN'T NETWORK THEM!!! This is the worst! I know that Apple is not going to support OS9 any longer, but what's so bad about allowing the machines to network? Even Windows machines can be networked; why not older Macs? Many of my publishing clients still require older programs, so now I use sneakernet between machines.
    Other problems all relate to file format issues:
    Lots of fonts turn into unusable Unix Executable Files when brought onto the hard drive. (I solve this problem by stuffing a font folder before placing it on a 10.4 machine.) This was not a problem in 10.3.
    There are problems with long file names and problems with files without suffixes (.tif, .doc, .txt, etc.)--apparently Mac/Unix doesn't play so nicely any more. This is probably what destroys the fonts, too.
    Even when a TIF file has its proper suffix, something weird happens when copying the file to OS9: it changes from being recognized as a Photohop document to a PictureViewer document; even the preview icon is dumped for the generic PictureViewer one. My preferences are set to open TIF and JPG files with Photoshop. I finally found out how to get my screen captures as PDF, not PictureViewer. (What's with this PictureViewer, anyway?) Again, this was not a problem in 10.3.
    Maybe most people won't have these problems, but I seem to be tripped up at every turn by 10.4 taking over unnecessarily. I keep looking through the forums and documentation for solutions, without much success.
    Bottom line: I have to keep up with the latest software and hardware to stay in business, so I'm not going back. But some of the aggravation seems unnecessary.

  • Are You Having To Log In Every Time - Or Is It Just Me?

    In the past couple of days I have to log in every time I visit the forum with a fresh browser window, even though I click the [  ] Remember Me checkbox during login.
    Is this something I've neglected to flush/clear, or am I not alone?  This is a definite change between pre- and post-update, and I haven't done anything else to my system, which is otherwise functioning perfectly.
    Why is it so much to ask that things just work the way they're supposed to?  Through these little things those of us who help Adobe's customers are made to feel more and more unwanted.
    -Noel

    Hm, I seem to have worked around it...
    Somehow my "Delete Browsing History On Exit" option was set in IE.  Clearing that seems to have made it possible for me to be logged in persistently.  Perhaps someone used my computer and wanted to cover their tracks.  I'm not sure I would expect the "browsing history" to affect my login status, but I suppose it could make some kind of sense.
    I don't see how that would affect my iPhone, though, but just now I found I was persistently logged-in there as well when I started Safari.
    Possibly something was coincidentally changed at Adobe.com in the last 10 minutes?  If so, thanks for the fix, whomever did it!
    Anyway, I seem to be back to having more convenient forum access.

  • How often are you using the Internet on the iPhone?

    I was wondering how often you guys are using the Internet on the iPhone?
    Do you guys enjoy using the the Internet on it?
    Also, do you like the keyboard on it?
    Just letting you know that I am typing this on my iPhone!!
    Sam

    I flew from PDX to DAB today browsing the internet both via wi fi (fast) and Edge (slow, but usable) at various airports and other locations. This browser is the best! I do not have to take a laptop with me anymore. The re size feature is the key, all phone browsers will have this in the future.
    Its been years since I was excited about anything in the tech world (and I own a Software company) but I gotta hand it to Apple they really did a job with the iPhone.

  • SCCM 2012 and .PCK files - how exactly are they used?

    Ok, no one, not even Microsoft engineers can seem to provide a clear and definitive answer on this topic, everyone's understanding of the .PCK file with relation to SCCM 2012 is clear as mud.
    I understand what .PCK files are...in the SCCM 2007 world, and how they work, all that jazz, what I don't understand is how/when/why they would be used by SCCM 2012...it seems that sccm 2012 would only need these .pck files during a reassignment of a shared
    DP in a migration scenario...even that surmise is sketchy since I've watched very closely the DP content conversion process and at
    no time did the server access the .PCK files to populate the single instance store.
    I am going to do some more testing on my own, my ultimate goal is to permanent delete the contents (not the folder itself) of the SMSPKG folder, essentially all the .PCK and .DL$ files to save space on my server.
    If any soul out there knows..not guesses...the purpose of the .PCK file in 2012, let me know please, don't just copy/paste other people's posts as an answer, explain in clear terms each step of the process that 2012 would utilize a .PCK, or if the answer
    really is that 2012 does not use .PCK files at all, let me know.
    I have a single primary site with 16 secondary sites in my SCCM 2007 environment, I'm migrating to a single primary with 16 distribution points...so even if .PCK's are used to populate secondary sites, I should not need them since I won't have any secondary
    sites once all of my DP's are migrated...yeah?
    Thanks!
    Terry

    Thanks for the reply Torsten, that would make sense if my primary site had any .pck files at all (my sccm 2012 site that is) only my DP's have .pck files. I have no child sites in my 2012 hierarchy unless DP's are child sites (I thought secondary sites are
    child..) When my DP's require a package they get them from my primary site, not other DP's. I have no 'Pull' DP's setup.
    If SCCM 2012 uses a 'single instance store', which contains 3 folders itself that seem to contain compressed versions of the package files, then there should be no need for another folder that also contains compressed files...just a thought.

  • How old are you people?

    I haven't posted a question for a while, so I figured it was about time. For starters, I'm only 19. I'm on my first programing job and a freshman in college. I was wondering how old the rest of you were. I keep reading posts about people that wrote code when I was still young enough to think I was going to be a proffesional baseball player. That was about second grade by the way. Anyway, just curious.
