Hi,
Ive just moved into a house which has a bt phone socket but no other info.
a: do i have a number (ie: can i plug a phone in and go?)
b: as i have no previous history with this address do bt just start sending me bills?
or
c: do i have to contact bt to get connected, to find out tariffs and if a subcontractor ie: unicom etc are involved?
thanks in advance.

Hi
Welcome to the forum, you may well have dialtone but this is prob only "soft dialtone" all this will do is allow you to contact the customer services dept, this may not be BT as it depends who the previous tennants had service with.
Best bet is to plug a phone in and see what you get, if you get dial tone try dialling 150 and see who answers.
If you don't get dial tone you could contact any of the line service providers who can supply you with service.
They in turn will contact BT Openreach who will activate the line for you.

Do you still have the iphone? I know this has been an issue with phones that were lost or stolen, but if you still have your iphone try going into settings on that iphone and turn off imessage. See if that helps,certainly cannot do any harm.

ITunes 11 - I can't manually manage my files. Is there a work around? I have manually manage clicked. I win7 32. It worked after awhile after updating then it just stopped. I have reinstalled 11 but the same issue ocurred!

Sorry this is the 1st time and I don't know what to do. I have lost the ability to manually manage my music/video files. After upgrading it worked for a few days as I was adding music to my phone. After 2 days, I couldn't anymore. I have windows 7 ultimate 32, iTunes 11, and iPhone 4 on 6.0.1. With the iPhone connected, under the summary page, manually manger is clicked. iTunes Match is off in iTunes and on phone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Copied my media back into the media folder. I have also done a factory reset and restored from back up and still can't add music manually. All my music is stored on an external be aide the media folder is in the primary hard drive. I can try adding to the iTunes library and add that way without manually adding each song but I feel that defeats the purpose. I'm in contact with individual DJs that make their own music and yes it is sold intubes and that was never the issue before. I will do a factory reset on the phone, so a clean install of 11 again and just add my apps back but I don't know what else to do. Also, I am only using one computer to manage my files and it is the only computer authorized for my phone. There is no other computer! I am open to any ideas.
Thank you in advance

Update:
I mean that the dj's create their own music and the music isn't sold in iTunes. Also, I have done the factory reset clean, installation of Itunes 11 (*lost all of my apps - yeah the back up i have didn't have all the apps or they are read as apps but said that they are missing - redownloading them now the ones that can be retrieved now) and it still gives me the black "no" arrow when trying to drag and drop - but I have figured that I would just copy the files into the main library, but it defeats the purpose of having an external with all my files. Is there away to get iTunes to recognize my hd as the library? A new issue developed, it kept saying that it was connected to another library and to connect it would have to erase everything on the phone so I agreed. And it seems to be fine now besides the copy and paste. I have added a few more issues that risen since this began below.
A few more questions:
After a clean installation: I have lost most of the paid apps. Does Itunes back up a history or was it stricly on my computer? Some of these were paid apps and I dont want to have to purchase them again. There should be something connected to your name within the store account that stores all the purcchase you have made and allow you to redownload them as in the playstation network. Also, how do people retrieve lost apps if the only back up was on their computer that crashed? Is there any to get Itunes to recognize my external HD as a library of my music?

TS3406 My IPhone4 will make calls - they can hear me bu I CANNOT HEAR THEM!! This has only just started happening, I have checked settings but all seems OK can anyone help please

MY IPHONE 4 which has been working perfectly well has developed a fault on calls.
It will make calls OK and they can hear me perfectly but I CANNOT HEAR THEM AT ALL.
I have checked all the settings and cannot see anything wrong, can anyone help please!!

Thanks for answering me. I tried what the help page said but still no luck. My son jut told me that his phone (same as mine) did the same thing and then resolved a little while later. I guess I might just have to wait and see.

Since you're on a Mac...
For converting DVDs for the iPod, use Handbrake:

For converting video files you already have on your computer for the iPod, use iSquint:

I have a Mac Pro 4,1 quad core intel Xeon running mac OSX 10.6.8 and I have just moved studios and now need to use the Internet wirelessly but there's no airport facilities on this model can anyone tell me what model of airport card I would need for this

Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

HT1349 I have just moved from one pc to another. I had used 5 computers to attach to itunes. I went in and disabled all 5 of my accounts but cant get the new computer to give me a prompt to authorize this computer. Any ideas?

Hellow everyone,
I have just moved from one PC to another. They are windows pc's not macintosh. When i installed itunes on the new computer it stated that I already had 5 devices authrorized for this account. I did a little reading and went in and deathorized all 5 PC from the account as I am sure it was a couple pcs ago and a few iphones. When I try and go in and authorize an account I cant see anywhere where there is a prompt to authorize the new PC. I go into store and all it says is that there are no devices associated to this account. What I would like to do is associate my new PC and my iphone to this account and hopefully restore from the cloud all of my music and programs.
Any idea what I am doing wrong here or how I can resolve this. Thanks in advance.
Respectully.

if it's music then drm is not used there any more and drm can be removed from previously bought drm material without cost

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening

I am having problems gettting my mail to work ... Mac telling me that my start up disk id full and to delete some files to free up space ... have done this but when i open mail from the dock it just brings up the colour wheel and nothing happening ... it shows when you right click on the mail icon that " application not responding"

If your hard drive is getting full, you need to free up, at least, 20 GBs of space on your iMac's hard drive.
If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it run the automatic ans S.M,A.R.T. tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the tabs that have the ability to clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

I have just moved from MobileMe, where I had a 'Family account' (with unique email addresses for my wife and myself) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have iPads and iPhones? Mine sync OK...

We have just moved from MobileMe, where we had a 'Family account' (and we each have our own @me.com email addresses) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have an iPad and an iPhone, but with different accounts set up for mail. Mine syncs OK to Cal and Contacts, but hers doesn't. There must be a way! Please help.

According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account." You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

HT4623 I have an ipad 2 on ops 4.3 and have just updated to 7.1 via itunes. I backed up first and have synced repeatedly but keep getting a message on my ipdad screen that the ipad is not set up - I chose the set up option restore from itunes back up

To free up hard drive space the best bet is to move data files that you don't need access to all the time. Likely candidates are music, video, and photos. Things like word processing and spreadsheet files can also be moved but they tend not to be very large and so don't free up much space. The problem with moving the above mentioned files is that iTunes and iPhoto need to know where the files are stored.
Here's an article explaining how to move the iTunes folder. You can move the iPhoto library using the Finder but there is a slight complication. Start iPhoto, open the Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. The first option is "Copy items to the iPhoto Library". If this option is checked, copy the iPhoto library to your external folder (drag it from the Pictures folder to your external drive) and then delete it from your Picture folder. If this option is not checked, it is a bit more complicated and we'll need to talk a bit.

Dear all, I have a MacBook Pro bought in April 2011. Last April, it got stuck while the wheel was spinning and I had to force it shut. That cost me my hard drive. Now, it's stuck again. I tried esc, cmd tab, moving the trackpad on the apple, but no. HELP!

Dear John,
thank you for your prompt reply. After I sent the email, I left the wheel spinning to see if it would eventually stop. It didn't, but after a while the screen turned blue, so I decided to switch everything off with a forced shut-down. I could not restart with the OS DVDs because I am currently away from home, but fortunately everything was more or less fine after restarting. It then got stuck again, I forced it shut again, restarted again, and now it seem to work but I won't overdo it and will switch off smoothly after writing this (unless it gets stuck again). Last April I have replaced the HD, so it's now just under 6 months old. And, of course, since the crash occurred when I was abroad and had backed up just before I left, I have lost only a few days' work. Still, and I know this will make me hugely unpopular here, with my 5 previous laptops running on MS Windows I never had a problem. Which does not mean I loved the OS, or I would not have switched to Mac.
Anyway, and this is the main reason for this message, thank you very much again for your speedy intervention.

I have a iPhone 5 and mini ipad which I bought unlocked in the UK. I have just moved to singapore and have been told the iPhone won't accept a sim here as the phone is locked to the UK. Any ideas how to unlock. Will this be the same for my ipad?

I have an iPhone 5 and mini ipad which I bought in the UK Unlocked. I have just moved to Singaporen and have been told that my iPhone won't accept a sim as the phone is locked to the UK. Any ideas how to unlock as apple say they can't do it. Will I have the same problem with my ipad?

Unless you purchased the iPhone direct from Apple in the UK and paid full price either on line or In an Apple Store then it will be locked to a UK Carrier and only that carrier can arrange unlocking
It is unlikely that the iPad is similarly locked as most are sold carrier free unless specifically purchased from a UK carrier as part of a packaged deal involving a subsidy on the price of the iPad ( not very likely but they do exist )

I have just moved from using Windows all my life to Mac OS Lion. My accounting software "Tally" does not run on it. Please help !

I have just moved from using Windows all my life to buying a Mac Book Pro running on OS Lion. But my accounting softwares Tally 7.2 and Tally 9 do not run on it.
I just learnt that the software platform of Tally Accounting softwares are specific to Windows only.
I need to run the accounting software, Mail and several spread sheets and documents at the same time.
Is there some way I can do this on the Mac Lion OS?
Help solicited !

Yes, you can share files across a network as long as the network server is setup so your Mac can connect to it. See Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect to shared computers and file servers on a network, Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect your Mac directly to a Windows computer, Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect to a Mac from a Windows computer, and Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect to shared computers and servers using a network address.
