I do not know if I have a fault with Phone, Broadband or TV.
I have a White Box with the label "Openreach" on it. There are three green lights on the top labelled "Power" "DSL" & "Lan 1". The "Lan 1" loght has very recently started a continuous flashing.
On the back of the box there is a cable with Red Connectors which goes from that white box to my BT Broadband Hub.
There is a Green & Orange Light by that cable. The Orange Light is also continuously flashing.
I phoned 0800800151 last night and was eventually told I had "A Glitch in my system" - The Asian lady (who was very difficult to understand) said she'd send me a text and I also confirmed my mobile phone number but have not received a text.
Everything, that is Phone, TV & Broadband work excellently and without fault except...
That White Box is getting "Quite Warm" (approx 7 degrees f.) above room temerature and that makes me worry about a fire risk.
BTW - I have OCD's so regularly check every item of electrical equiment for any sign of overheating, for that reason I am able to say this is "Warmer than usual".
I am very worried about this, I'm disabled and live alone. I'm very frightened of the fire risk, can someone please explain the "Glitch" and the overheating please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry, not quite accepted, I see that I missed something out...
This rapid flashing has only occured since I had BT Sport included in my package a few days back. Before then the light had been stable green with the occasional rapid flashing whilst I have been connected to the internet. That obviously does indicate data transfer.
However, when I was not connected to the internet, the light glowed a stable green all the time. Now it flashes rapidly even when I'm not connected - I'll add there that my BT Vision box remains on all the time.
Heat - The unit IS WARMER than it was - That may sound nit-picking but with my OCD's I "Touch-check" every item of electrical equipment every time I leave my house and, when I go to bed at night so I am very well used to "How warm something should be" so that in my mind, I "Feel Safe". At this time I don't "Feel Safe" with the increased temperature so have to switch it off overnight, or when I leave my house.
** The unit may of course be warmer due to extra data-transfer but then, why do I suddenly have extra, and constant data transfer when my computers are switched off and I'm not using the internet?
A thought about that I think could be that someone else is constantly accessing my connection though I've no idea how that could be so or if that ever could happen.

You need the Apple ID and password that was originally used to set up the device. Ask the seller to give it to you. If the seller is unable or unwilling to provide the information, the Phone is probably stolen. There is nothing you can do.

Not Knowing When I Have Received New Email

I just got an iPad a couple of days ago. The only problem I've encountered with this device is the mail. The little red number that is supposed to show up on the Mail icon when you receive a new email does not show up. I do not know that I have any mail in my inbox until I go to the application. I've tried deleting all the mail in my inbox, outbox, and trash but that has not solved the problem. If you could help me, I would be more than happy!

Hi and welcome.....
Tap Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Make sure Push is turned on.
Tap Advanced / Push. Select Fetch.
Restart your iPad.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.

My iphone is locked by a password that I do not remember. I have never sync my phone with my computer. What can I do to reset my phone?

See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212. If you have not backed up your iPhone to either a computer or iCloud you will reset the phone to a New state.

Everytime i plug my iphone into my computer it says device not recognized i was syncing my phone and it got interupted and has not worked since i have iphone 4 with 4.1 software lol what can i do to not lose everything

Everytime i plug my iphone into my computer it says device not recognized i was syncing my phone and it got interupted and has not worked since i have iphone 4 with 4.1 software lol what can i do to not lose everything

I'd start with the following document with that one:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows

I have changed my apple ID but cannot get my Mac computer to change it on iCloud. I have signed out but do not know how to sign back in with my new id.

I have successfully changed my apple ID and password, but cannot get my Mac computer to change it on iCloud. I have accessed system preferences, iCloud and sign out. But now I do not know how to sign in using my new id and password. I would like iCloud to work on my Mac so that it will sync to my iPhone and iPad. I have installed all of the latest software. How do I change this account on my Mac?

Do you have your Mac backed up?
If not, you should use Time Machine to back up your Mac to an external hard drive just "in case".
But if all you did was change your existing ID, then deleting the Calendar infomation from the Mac when you sign out should not be an issue. Since it is the same Apple ID, it is the same iCloud account (just with a different name), so your Contacts, Calendars, etc. are stored in iCloud. When you sign back in, you will have the option to sync Contacts, Calendars, Notes, etc. with iCloud - it should already be checked. Just sign back in, and your iCloud info will re-download to your Mac.
I just tried this, and all of my stuff showed up when I signed back in. Notes took a couple of seconds to load once I opened them, but they are all there.
Note: If you are signing on with a brand new Apple ID, then nothing will be downloaded because it will be an entirely different iCloud account. But if it is the same Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID with just a new email, then it will all be restored.
Cheers,

Tried to download itunes and now my iphone does not even work.I have been on the phone with apple for 3 hours and it still won't work.I have a service pack 2 in this land computer and it won't upgrade .I do have the latest verision of itunes.Then we put

I tried to download itunes to my phone.First it wanted it to download the new itunes.We also updated our Windows xp.I kept coming up can't complete because there was an error when setting up.One time is was error 9 and they tried to help me.I have a laptop with the internet and we tried it there.We were able to get service pack 3 downloaded.So we did upgrade the itunes on the laptop even though I have never put music on there but there is some from someone .I never heard of many of the songs.Any how I did try to download and restore on the laptop and then come to the land computer and see if the box comes up to restore the contacts.Well it didn 't work and now my phone won't even turn on .I have no one to call if something happened to me.I am going to the Apple store right off the bat tomorrow morning.I have everything in the box and the phone and reciept and see if they make it work or give me another one.I have to take my sim card again since They gave it back to me.I bet it means I can't sync the photos in the phone.Even with 2 computers and talking with 3 people it still did not work.All because I wanted to download the itunes to my phone.I don't care now if I can just get my phone to work and my contacts are in there.I hope I don't have to buy the ringtones again I bought 4 of them.Any one have this problem and what did you do to fix it?

The Apple rep tried both those ideas and both failed. The rep was connected to my computer so she
could see my screen and show me exactly what to do. My iPhone (not ipad) never has synced photos to my computer,
I have to use explorer to copy and paste or cut and paste them to my PC . It is the syncing back to my iPhone of only the much smaller selected photos that used to sync in itunes but now the itunes sync button cannot be clicked to make that happen. And the reason I only sync back selected photos is that my total PC pictures file is about 40 Gb. Also I find it a lot more useful to have a small number of folders ( no sub-folders of course) so I can quickly locate on my iPhone pictures from different categories such as family, autos, etc. None of this posed any problems for over a year until just recently. I am reading on other threads of many people with other iTunes syncing problems, and wonder now if it is the latest iTunes updates that are causing the problems? While I have tried removing and reinstalling iTunes on my PC, I don't know how or if you can, install a previous version?

I installed Firefox v7.0.1 and I wasn't able to figure out how to pin the bookmarks to the left of the screen as in earlier versions. Any idea how this can be done in v7.o.1? If it's not possible I'll have to stay with an older version or go back to I.E.

no other details.

Does that make sense to you, you're going to back because you can't use a new option so the tabs are the same as before.
Right-click on a tab and choose "Pin as app-tab", and never do anything unless you know how to reverse it -- "Unpin tab" or delete the tab like any other tab.
I would suggest you bookmark the tabs you want as app tabs into a folder, so that you can periodically recreate them. Do not include your home page in your app-tabs or you will have two copies at Firefox startup.
Although I don't have a problem with them disappearing when I start Firefox, they always seemed like a potential problem over time. I use them but I often do start them over from a bookmarked folder so the are "clean" only one page per app-tab. Besides app-tabs can be accidentally closed like any other tab (use "Ctrl+Shift+T" to restore a tab, if you notice the loss immediately).
* https://support.mozilla.com/questions/848046
I would suggest installing "Multiple Tab Handler: it will make working with tabs, and app-tabs easier.
More tips whether you like the new styling of Firefox or not see the first 60 or so items for things you can change.
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.
Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

I would like to get rid of yahoo on top of the page (next to Bookmarks) Why is Yahoo there? Is it not Firefox independent or have a deal with yahoo?

I absolutely hate that on top of the page it always appears Yahoo in between Bookmarks and Tools. I will stop using Firefox if this persists. Please let me know how to solve this problem. Many Thanks

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
