I need to get back in touch with UK based technica...

Background - a few weeks ago I received help on the forum in connection with my modem re-booting, usually in the early morning. I got in touch with Bt Customer support who helped by getting the noise level back down but I still suffered from re-booting, consequent increases in snr and lower speeds. I switched from the HH3 to a Billion bipac 7700n router. This was a vast improvement. No more re-booting but occasional re-syncs instead - at least the snr and DSL speed stayed roughly at the same level. I did however want to eliminate the 4-5 re-syncs per day - a nuisance if you are trying to use the PC or streaming music when the connection drops. Customer support advised me to test the router in the BT test socket. Alas, when I looked inside my BT master socket I found that I hadn't got a test socket. Bt Customer support splendidly arranged for a BT engineer to come the next day to fit a test socket. This was just before Xmas. 
With Xmas over, guests having gone and continuing to suffer from re-syncing, I connected the router directly to the new BT test socket. In the space of 9 hours there were 4 re-syncs.
I e-mailed Bt customer support an extract from the router's systems log to seek their help. Within minutes I had a call from an operator in BT India who put me through to their technical desk. Unfortunately the technical desk did not have my e-mail and did not seem very interested in the background to my issue. After an hour in the phone I spoke to a supervisor who explained that he could not take my problem further until I had tried a new HH3. 
Well the HH3 turned up today. On connection my snr went up to 10db and the DSL speed down from 6656 kbps to 4344 kbps. Needless to say I have disconnected the HH3.
I should add that the BT engineer who fitted the new master socket said that in his view I needed a Broadband boost engineer and that he would put this in his report. 
Advice on how to get back in contact with Uk based support would be welcome.  I had been making good progress!

  • I need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. Please help

    i need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. this is an attempt to consolidate all my data, new and old so I can uninstall Maverick and put Mountain Lion back on my iMac.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If the files have been overwritten and you don't have a backup, they're gone.
    If they have not been overwritten, then there are third-party apps (for example Techtool Pro 7 ) with data recovery functions that might be able to retrieve some or all of your files.
    Backing up is good.

  • Telstra "Get Back In Touch" - can be so confusing sometimes

    "Get Back In Touch" email is a great idea of re-contacting the Telstra consultant after an issue etc has been addressed (it saves a lot of time repeating oneself all over again!!). However, can be more than confusing if customers phone Telstra to  (a) Discuss more than one issue requiring different departments and/or (b) are referred to another technician re. the same issue.  In both these instances, the customer receives more than one "Get Back in Touch" email - too confusing! I don't know about anyone else?? but I can never work out what email refers to what conversation I had or with who, and end up deleting them all. My suggestion is - Can't there be a simple word reference stating what the call was about on these emails to make the above much easier??? e.g. "Thanks for your time today. I hope I’ve addressed everything regarding your TboxShould you need to follow up, your reference number isINT x-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" OR "Thanks for your time today. I hope I’ve addressed everything regarding connection problems with your internetShould you need to follow up, your reference number isINT x-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" Any other thoughts, anyone?? 

    Hi Dr. Qwerty,  I think your suggestion plus my suggestion added to these emails would be a grand idea!!  At the moment, I have 4 "get back in touch" emails sitting in my inbox as I contacted Telstra recently regarding my Tbox and my Bundled Plan.  The Tbox issue was referred to another consultant.   Unfortunately, I  haven't got the remotest idea which email is in reference to what topic , so will be deleting all of them. There has to be more customers out there who have experienced this, surely?? Thanks Qwerty

  • I had iweb on my last computer - bought a new 2013 macbook pro a few months ago and it's gone.  I have a webpage I build on it and now I need to get back in to update it.  Help.

    i had iweb on my last computer - bought a new 2013 macbook pro a few months ago and it's gone.  I have a webpage I build on it and now I need to get back in to update it.  Help.

    Well of course you won't have iWeb on a new MacBook from this year.  iWeb has not shipped on new Macs for a long time now and Apple has not sold iLife through its stores or online for over a year and does not support iWeb any longer.
    If you want iWeb now, you will either need to purchase a new copy of iLife or try and find the old install discs from your old Mac and re-install iWeb from that disc.  It also depends on what iWeb version you were using too - iWeb 08 or 09?  If 08, then this is not compatible with Mavericks which will be running on a new Mac, so you'll need iWeb 09 for this.  If you can find your old install discs and they are iWeb 09 then go ahead and use these, but if not, you will have to purchase the iLife 09 or 11 boxed set from Amazon and both of these contain iWeb 09 and you can then install it.
    Also, when you set up your new Mac, did you migrate info over?  If you had built a website on your old Mac, then you need to data file where all iWeb info is stored and that is called your domain.sites file and you need this file to be transferred if you want your website back again.
    Can you get access to thhis file on your old Mac and transfer it?  If you can then fine, you can access your website again, but if not, you are out of luck and you'll have to re-build your website from scratch using iWeb.
    If you don't have iWeb, then now might be a good time to move forward and look at the many alternatives that are out there such as RapidWeaver, Sandvox, and EverWeb which is billed as an iWeb replacement and is very much like iWeb, but with SEO and the ability to create drop down menus built in (check out http://www.everwebapp.com). Other alternatives also include Flux 4, Freeway Pro and Express and WebAcapella 4.
    Have a look and most of these allow you to download free trials so you can try before you buy.

  • I have done an icloud backup on my iPad mini. I now need to get back one of the iMovie videos that I backed up. How do I restore one individual file?

    I have done an icloud backup on my iPad mini. I now need to get back one of the iMovie videos that I backed up. How do I restore one individual file?

    You can't. When you restore from a backup it will restore everything in the backup. You might be able to find a third party app that will allow you to extract individual files from an iTunes backup, but not with an iCloud backup.

  • I need to get back to ff4. I know this came up before but I don't have a link to the answer. My concern is the loss of use of Roboform.

    I need to get back to FF4. I did this in the past but lost the procedure. I need to get to FF4 so that Roboform tool bar works.

    Thanks for the right fix.
    By the way RF is now up to7.4.1
    Also when the install of FF5 ran it said that the Roboform toolbar was incompatible and said there was no upgrade. That is what sent me searching for away back to FF4. So I didn't even look at RF's site believing there was no upgrade available.

  • Mac start up wont work. I have tried safe start, command s / v , command r, pram, and more. Nothing helps!!! I really need to get back onto it. PLEASE HELP ME

    My mac is only a year old. I am still under warranty but don't want to have to go to the store. I know it has something to do with not connecting to my hard drive and I want to make it clear that IT HAS NOT BEEN DROPED,BANGED OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY!!
    Here is what I have tried so far:
    For safe start The loading bar shows up but then doesn't load. After a few seconds it disappears and the wheel continues to spin.
    I have tried PRAM but it doesn't help at all.
    The only way I can get it off the start off page is to either go to fsck or Mac OS utilites.
    Fsck comes up as an error message for me when I put in fsck -FY. /sbin/fsck -FY also doesn't work.
    Mac OS utilities really also doesn't much. When I try to back up my hard drive it recognizes the external drive but then has no where to put it to??? So then I tried reinstalling the lion software part bit it won't allow me because for some reason it is locked. So I also try to verify and repair my drive. An error message comes up so I know there is something wrong. But not what to do about it. So now I am here on the Internet.
    I Really need to get this fixed!!! PLEASE SOMEONE PROVIDE ME WITH AN ANSWER TO HELP FIX MY PROBLEMS.

  • Friend deleted app (my disk for iphone) and need to get back data from my icloud backup...need help!

         I had this app called my disk (app store name is: Lock photo+video safe - secure folder manager to protect private photos vault & hide secret picture file privacy) This app lets me have two passwords with different pictures and videos in each of them. It's a really great app.
         My friend deleted the app by "accident" and I need to get the app back with all my data. I have a backup of the app on my icloud backup that was taken place two months ago (around same time the app was deleted). It shows up in the cloud saying I have 4gb worth of that app in the cloud. I restore my phone back to that backup but the app data is not there. I wasn't sure if I had to wait till my iphone backs up everything (like music and pictures for example) for it to show up but as soon as the app downloaded I opened it hapilly knowing I have my data back but unfortunately it was not there. In the app itself, there's an option to backup from the cloud but it just brings up this window that says you can back up from the cloud (doesn't have a place to hit that says restore or anything).
         Is there something I am doing wrong? Can anyone help me? I really need that app data back because I have pictures of memories with friends and family inside that app that I do not have anywhere else. Once i get the back back ill be sure to save the photos onto my computer just incase anything goes wrong again.
    Thanks everyone for the help!

    fwiw
    It seems that in a case like this you'd need to reset the device to factory settings and then restore from iCloud backup.
    Sadly the reset to factory settings could cause more trouble than its worth.
    Apple's iCloud backup, could, but does not let the user restore one app or its data.
    You'll also find that even though that App's data is in the cloud, you as its owner do not have access to it.
    Hope it helps/

  • Can't get back to 300Mbps with my wrt300n v1 router?

    Hello All, My wrt300n, v1 router has always worked great, straight out of the box. 
    I use various adapter cards and have never had a problem?  All of the cards have connected at their individual full speeds?  Except 1 Airlink 300n that connects at 270mbps?  Still very nice, and what I see most people connect at.   
    The main PC on the network has a Dlink adaptor card, and has always connected at a full 300mbps, until now.   I just moved, had my broadband installed just today.  Everything is back up and working except the main PC is only connecting at 130Mbps? 
    Here's what I did that may have caused this. I had both homes for 2 weeks; I left my modem and Router in the older house.  So I could use my laptop there if I had to until the new house was hooked up.  Well when I went over to the old house and tried to connect the laptop I couldn't?  I connected to the router but couldn't get to the net?  I thought it might be a router setting, now that the rest of the pcs were not on the network any longer?  So I logged into the router settings and restored factory defaults?  The laptop still had the same problem?   I just disconnected the whole setup, brought it to the new house. 
    Cox came today to set up.  They actually used my laptop to connect to the network and test the lines?  It connected as soon as we turned it on and didn't have a problem? However, when I tried to connect my main desktop it only connected at 130Mbps?  Now my network is just called linksys of course because I restored defaults.  Could I have changed anything else that would affect the Mbps on this PC?  I was going to upgrade the firmware a while back just for GP, however I don't think I did after I read here; "if its working don't mess with it"?   As I said though, this PC connected at 300Mbps when I first bought the cards and I don't think I had to do anything to get it to do that?  That was close to 3yrs ago, w/o a problem until now? 
    Sorry for the long post but I wanted to explain as fully as possible. 
    Does any one have the answers, or even an idea as to what I need to do to get back to where I was?
    Thanks in advance for all your efforts.  This Forum and its users ROCK!

    After you resetted your router you should try adjusting the wireless settings on your router...
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
    Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    -Here select manual configuratioon...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    -Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation...
    Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...See if you get the desired speed...If not you should un-install and re-install the wireless adapter...

  • I set my computer to factory reset and I need to get back my pictures .how do i get them back

    Hello
    Please help I need to know how to get my pictures back from a factory reset on a pavilion g7-1338dx notebook PC
    Thank you, Donna

    Hi
    It depends on your luck how much you'll get back depending upon the overwriting that has been done on the hard drive by recovery.
    These tools are decent ones you could try upon:
    http://www.puransoftware.com/File-Recovery.html
    https://www.piriform.com/recuva
    Each file has certain level of recovery success & you'll get either the whole for as it is or with some corruption.
    Connect an external drive or USB to copy or save all the recovered files on to, must be large enough for them.
    Or if you have different partition in your hard drive you can copy the files on to that from system.

  • Cannot get back to Touch Instruments

    Hi - I'm new to iPad and GarageBand. Was toying around with it last night and after trying out the touch instrument browser I went into "My Songs" and checked out the demo song, but now I cannot get back to the instrument browser. I cannot find a back button, I can't find a close button to close the song, and I do not find any menu option that returns me to the Touch Instrument browser. I see plenty of options for touch instruments as they relate to the currently loaded song, but no way to get out of the currently loaded song and back to the instrument browser. Thanks for any help.

    Hi chabuhi - you can press "my songs" again, and GB will always save your current open song in its most recent state, and take you back to your project list. Then, press the + icon to either create a new song or duplicate a song (or alternatively, swipe side to side to get back to the song you were fooling around with before you explored the demo), tap to open the song, and then you'll see "Instruments" button at the top left, which will take you to the instrument browser.
    Once you have used all 8 tracks on a song (like the demo song has) you can't go straight back to the instrument browser either in case that's the issue you're having... you'll have to delete one of the tracks in that song before you can go back to the instrument browser, since what the instrument browser is really doing is "assigning a new instrument to an available track."
    Hope this helps!
