Its not all doom and gloom!
Ok, I'm coming to the end of my first week with BT Infinity and as these forums seem to be filled with tales of woe I thought I'd post something positive!
My Infinity FTTP 40Mb order went smoothly up until the engineer install which required a replacement ONT to get me going, but everything was handled professionally, the engineers turned up on time and always phoned ahead to check that I was ready. I was so blown away by the performance of the 40 MB service that I immediately went online to order the 100Mb service. The system advised that the 100mb service would go live in 2 days, and sure enough at 10am two days later I went to speedtest.net and my speed showed 102mb down 15.09 up I use a VPN to my companies network and the upgrade did not even break my connection!
Bravo BT!
On the down side I'm really mindful of a huge digital divide forming, where I have friends on the other side of town who cant even get reliable 512k ADSL

That pretty much sums up my feelings also. I did find that doing a restore, after day one helped my slowdowns a lot. People who are experiencing problems with lag should try doing a restore in iTunes.
**** it is better than when 2.0 came out, it was hard to even use my iPhone after the 2.0 update.

OS4... Its not all doom and gloom
Initially I was disappointed. I have cooled down a lot since the heated moments of failure after the Hype of OS4. I knew multitasking was not going to be the included; the heads up of knowing it won’t be included was fine and fare. After the install I was itching to change the home menu wall paper.
To my surprise, all my app’s had been removed, and my Itunes library. Everything else was still there.
When I finally came to my own conclusion that the home menu wallpapers were not included, I started to get a little furious. It was within this state of mind when I found every other problem I was extremely negative.
Now the dust has settled, and I have used the phone with OS4 for a few days, I am getting used to the slowness. Yeah, I shouldn’t have to, but what can you do?
My phone does work fine. The apps’s will lag, or some times just crash. It’s a new OS, so, teething problems are going to happen.
My process of upgrading was simple. I put the phone in, Itunes said its usual dribble of new updates.
I downloaded and installed. It performed the back up first, then installed the new OS.
Just a few things:
• I don’t believe you need to do all these complex steps that every one has mentioned. If you are concerned, just do a back up first. Beyond that, it should sought it self out.
• I do not really believe there are corrupt data files that are causing dramas.
• Once installed, turn the phone of, and then sync it again. This fixed my photos from being blurry.
• Battery life has suffered, but this is a more complex OS. I just accept that now.
The update more or less offers Folder’s and a dictionary function for SMS’s. A few other little things that really aren’t worth while mentioning.
But besides that, after the dust as settled, I am not really having many dramas. I think it was the hype that charged me up to start fuming.
If there’s people out there who wanna hear something positive, well, yeah there’s good and bad.
Im not going to screw around jail breaking or reverting to OS3.
It might be wishful thinking, but I do think Apple will release and fix, or something. If they don’t well, Ill worry about that then.
Besides that, as I said, there’s good and bad.That pretty much sums up my feelings also. I did find that doing a restore, after day one helped my slowdowns a lot. People who are experiencing problems with lag should try doing a restore in iTunes.

Hello, my mail is gone and I can't find it anywhere. Its not in library and I have not configured Time Machine yet. Help please?!
Use Find Any File, if the old messages might have been in a specific mailbox, to look for a file by the name of the mailbox to see if there are any larger versions of that mailbox.
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
If your Mail is indeed gone, you may be able to recover it with one of the data recovery tools here:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689
But act quickly. Every action while the computer is turned on weakens its chances of recovery. There is a slim chance also your email provider may have tape backup from before you checked your messages and after it arrived at their server for certain messages. You may want to ask them if that might have happened. -

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
In brief; backup the device, recover what you can from it, download other purchases from the iTunes Store, restore the device, add content, keep a backup of your library in future.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

BC4J - reverse generation - not all entities and views in same package
Hi
I want to use reverse generation, but separate all entity objects in package (my.entities) and View Object and view links in (my.views) not all in one package.
I can do this by generating entities first and then creating view objects and view links separately.
Can I do this in one step as we do if we want them in one package ?
UsamaYes, you can. No one step can do all thing for me.

I have got Iphone 4, now when i am back in pakistan. Its not working, cant connect to the service provider. Dosn't accepts the sim.
I would disagree to it.
iPhones sold in Japan are locked to carriers. Apple does not sell unlocked and contract free iPhones in Japan. -
I can't purchase anything because my Ipod Touch 4th Gen keeps saying invalid address
When I know its correct... and I dunno wut to do about it...There are a number of threads about it - it looks like Apple recently updated their address validation. Some people have recorded success by :
ensuring that their iTunes account address is exactly the same as appears on their credit card bill
putting something in the second line of the address (including just copying the first line)
expanding abbreviations e.g. St to Street, Ave to Avenue etc (or conversely abbreviating)
putting apartment or suite number on the second address line -

when i try to connect my ipod touch to my wireless network, its keeps saying the password is incorrect-this has been ongoing for several months now even though it used to connect when I first bought the ipod-is there anyway to reset the password?
All devices should automatically reestablish a connection after power cycling the router.
Also try resetting your iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try:
Apple - Support - iPod touch - Wi-Fi
