I helped an engineer and i now need help with conn...

Hi,
I recently got BT Infinity installed in my home. The HomeHub3 was installed along with a white box which it connects into and it connects to my phone socket. Everything is working fine.
But to cut a long story short, my Engineer was "Snowed Under" and could not install the extra socket for free as he did not have time. He did say that he could leave me the bits if i weas happy to do it myself. I fix copiers for a living, so i said "no Problem" and hey presto, my good deed for the day was done.
He left a socket (Network port type with 3 slots for wiring on the rear face. a length of 6-core Cat5 type cabling with one end pre wired to a network-type plug. and a small leaflet that came with the cable. The leaflet says to connect the blue and blue+white to two of the connectors on the socket rear face, which i have done. none of the other colours are required apparently.
Now...
I dunno what the pre-wired end plugs into? I have tried the following combinations:
Wall > Infinity white box > Hub3 > Extra socket > Network cable > PC
Wall > Infinity white box > Extra socket> Network cable > Hub3 > Network cable > PC
Basically what i need to know is where do i plug the extra socket cable into???
I should say that the Phone socket/master socket in the hall has only one socket on it, so i cannot plug it in there?
~please help~
Richard...

Yes, it is infinity. what i should have said is that the master socket has no SPARE sockets to plug anything into.
So having read this, does this mean that my data extension kit is simply the same as my master socket but farther away?
i.e.: i plug the data extension socket into the master wall socket in my hall and then the modem and HH3 into the other end in my living room?
I thought it would have been an EXTRA socket, in the same style as if i just ran a long Network cable to my living room PC from the HH3?

Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5.

Object is to sync address and calendar between laptop with Max OS 10.4.11 and iPhone. Upgrade of our 10.4.11 laptop to 10.5 is accomplished and we now need to upgrade Quicktime and iTunes; however, the user name and password for the laptop is now not working after the upgrade to 10.5., though it was working prior to the upgrade, for file sharing.

@ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
@ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!)
@ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack. i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot.
Thanks fo rall yor help!

I installed Mavericks yesterday and have now got problems with QuarkXpress 9. Every time I click on an image and try to move it the application crashes. Anyone had similar problems or got any suggestions?

I installed Mavericks yesterday and have now got problems with QuarkXpress 9. Every time I click on an image and try to move it the application crashes. Anyone had similar problems or got any suggestions?

Hi Guys
Updated my 2 imacs to Maverick yesterday. Schoolboy error on my part not checking if there were problems with any programmes before I did.
Quark is now a nightmare with no short term answer on the way. As a Quark user for over 20 years this is just another reason to hold your hands up and say OK Indesign you win I will have to learn how to use you and Quark will be a distant memory.
I am told there will probably be no solution to getting quak 9 running on Maverick and that you will need to update to 10 in about 2-3 weeks to get back to normal. Having spent a few bob on 2 versions of 9.5 only in Feb this year i didn't really want to upgrade yet.
So its cough up to carry on using Quark or learn Indesign.
I have lost faith in Quark as they are quick to send me e-mails asking me to upgrade to this and that version, why didn't they send one out saying do not upgrade to Maverick. Perhaps they know there loyal follwing will uograde to 10 and will generate a nice little bonus before Xmas.
Lots to do today and will now take 10 times longer to do it. Is this 2013 or 1974!!!!!
If anyone hears of a solution please post ASAP

Dictionary not scanning words by hovering. Click and select now needed?

Before 10.6 you did not need to click and select text to look up a definition. If you just hovered the cursor over a word and typed cmd-cntl-D then the dictionary popup appeared with a definition. By continuing to hold down the cmd-cntl key and moving the cursor along the sentence, the panel followed, recognising each word and providing a definition. I used this a lot to read Chinese websites as it was able to recognise Chinese words and phrases well. Now to look up anything you must select the text, lookup the word, and then select the next text. With Asian languages the word-breaks are not obvious, but the dictionary in 10.5 was able to parse them perfectly. This is a major degradation in functionality, going from an elegant, powerful translation to a clunky non-existent one.
Some people report still being able to get dictionary popup *without selecting* the text - by hovering over it - HOW? Thanks.
BTW using right click is not the point, before 10.6 the dictionary tracked the mouse cursor without any clicks being needed. Thanks

Thanks Carolyn. No it was not Tool Tips. This was a functionality of the pop-up panel of the dictionary, that allowed it to break sentences down into words and then move along a line of text translating as it went (tokenising). The Mac has powerful tokenisers built into Cocoa (I programme with them) but seems to have disabled this functionality in Dictionary 10.6. Probably something got left out in the 64 bit re-write...
I had done a clean install so prefs were default. Tried deleting and no help.
I have noticed that the whole way Services are implemented in 10.6 is different. Before, all Service menu items were always on the menu, now the System tries to double-guess whether you need them or not, and the items on the menu change with the context. So another broken thing is that there is a Service to translate between simplified and traditional chinese. Now the System will not show the menu item if it thinks text is not in one or the other (and gets it wrong a lot). Before, you could select the service and if it was already in the right format the text stayed the same - it was a neat way to look see if there was a Traditional variant of some Simplified text. Problem now is that the code hiding the menu item is getting it wrong and wont even let you try.
Seems to me that they have tried to "simplify" the interface by getting the system smart, but not smart enough... please can the user be put back in control, leave our menu items alone ! I have submitted feedback to Apple. Maybe in 10.6.999...
Thanks anyway.

(06 Oct 14) updated firefox and Kaspersky, now have problems with Barclays site - firefox "not responding" and plugin error on trying to close. Help!

Updated Kaspersky to 15.0.0.463(a) - ( comes with "safe money" - now turned off).
Updated Firefox from (old) version to 32.0.3.
Barclays bank site loads properly, and allows access to accounts BUT when I try to look at a statement, Firefox "not responding" and a blank/ unresponsive page is displayed.
In order to acheive any movement I have to close firefox... this gives rise to windows wanting to send error data, and Firefox apologising for loosing the tab.
None of which allows me to do essential banking transactions.
It is this machine that has the problem - I can access without problems via work computer (using google Chrome)

My guess is that your statement is a PDF document, since banks and other companies often use that format for statements.
Firefox has various options for viewing PDFs, including a built-in PDF viewer (not as full featured as Adobe's), or the option to use a plugin such as Adobe Acrobat, or to launch the PDF in an external application. This article describes how to experiment with that setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
On another subject, your plugin list has various plugins described as "Google Chrome Extension". I haven't seen that before. Could you review the list and see whether they really should be active in Firefox or can be deactivated?
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
For those that are not essential, I suggest changing them to "Never Activate". This might not take effect immediately in that window, but should disable them in new windows.

HT4623 My iPhone 4S does not show ringer bar and i now need to use ear phones to listen to music

My iphone 4s is not showing ringer bar and i cant listen to music without earphones

Hey chirambab,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 4s in regards to audio.
The following resource may provide a solution:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
1. Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
2. Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
3. If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
4. Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
5. If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
6. If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
- Try turning off Bluetooth.
- If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
7. Restart the iPhone.
8. If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
9. If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
If the issue persists, please follow the last step by contacting Apple Support for support and service options.
Thanks,
Matt M.

FireFox just loaded an update and is now not compatible with my Antivirus program. What can I do? am I still protected? do I need to delete Firefox?

I am using Kasperski Internet Security

I do not use this, but a quick web search suggests problems may be with the add-ons rather than the core Kasperski Anti Virus program.
See for instance:[http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=211298&view=findpost&p=1682494] where a forum moderator says "''Kaspersky is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.''"
Additional info: <br> see also thread [/questions/843375]
If the problem is a simple one of the toolbar compatibility, and the toolbar is an add on then try downloading, installing and running [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ compatability reporter] that may be a quick fix.

Firefox 14 is not compatible with Trend Titanium Max Security 2012 and I now need an earlier version of Firefox. Where is a safe place to get it?

Using Windows XP Professional
After installing Trend, most websites no longer load completely. After hours of trouble shooting, I finally did a chat where I found out that Trend 2012 is incompatible with Firefox 14 (version 9 was recommended).

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

When using Firefox today a strange page with the title wonderhowto showing video instruction appears and all other open pages are closed. I have minimalised this stranger to the screen base and it now shows there with a mini firefox attached!

Please bear with me as I am quite new to computers. Early today on start up I was asked to upgrade an Apple app. I declined as I did not have time.
I opened Firefox as usual and went into several sites mail news etc and all seemed fine. Late morning this strange and quite professional looking video instruction page appeared full of photo's and instructions etc, the page took over the whole screen I thought it was strange so I closed it and all my open Firefox sites had gone. This has now happened several times. I have now noticed that when it is up there is a website address at the bottom of the screen. I tried to copy and paste this but it would not let me. There is a name scorecardresearch.com. Does this strike a bell with anyone?

Hello,
My name is Bryan Crow, and I am the CEO of WonderHowTo.com. This problem was brought to my attention this morning by others who have reported the same problem to our contact address: [email protected] I'm very sorry to hear this is happening.
I assure you this is not something our website created or installed on your computer. Most likely it is some form of spyware or virus that is opening our website in order to hide it's true purpose. We are a large and trusted source for how-to articles and videos, so there is no reason we would choose to annoy people with such an obnoxious and intrusive behavior. Frankly it's very upsetting that someone would create malware that directed people to our website.
Naturally, our team would like to do whatever we can to try and find the culprit behind this so we can report them. If any of you can provide me with additional information by emailing [email protected], it could help us get to the bottom of this.
Specifically:
* Have you installed or updated any Firefox Add-Ons recently (go to Firefox -> Add Ons to see the list of add-ons you have installed)?
* What Firefox Add-Ons do you have installed?
* Have you tried running a virus or spyware scan on your system? If so, which software did you use and did it help?
* What URL is opening up when you see WonderHowTo, and what exact time of day (and in what time-zone) did you see it?
Thank you for your help.

Tried to restore iPod and am now having difficulties with formatting

Hi everyone,
I had been having problems with my iPod Classic recently and I tried to restore it to factory settings. I believe the restore worked but I had walked away from my computer while it was going. Now, each time that i try to plug in my computer a folder pops up saying that I need to reformat the disk, but it won't let me. I'm not sure what to do. When I unplug my iPod from my computer and am looking through it, in my settings it says that I have 0GB free, yet, I have no music or anything on the iPod. Everything is listed as Other. Any ideas anyone has would be greatly appreciated! By the way, I've already gone through the recommended restore and reinstall steps.

Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Updated to iOS 6 and am now having problems with wifi

Recently- I am having trouble with the wifi in multiple locations. Initially I thought it had to do with my own house internet- but my fiance has no trouble with his wifi on his iphone. We have both updated to iOS 6 and 4G tends to work fine but when connected to wifi both at work and my home it is extremely slow or does not load.

That sounds like a data system issue, call your carrier about it.
Try resetting network settings on the iPhone.

Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.
