Just Moved into a new House, previous tenants took...
Hi all,
I am just about to move into a new house and I believe the previous owners are going to take their phone number with them.
How do I go about getting my own phone number for the property, and does this cost any money?
If someone could let me know, that would be great.
Thanks.
Telephone numbers aren't allocated to specific properties, getting a new number is easy.
Just pick which service provider you want, i.e. BT, Sky, TALK TALK, etc then call that company's sale team or if you can place the order online as they normally put the better deals online because it is cheaper for people to do that then phone their call centres.
In regards to cost, again that depends on what company you go with and if they have any offers on. Best thing to do there is shop around.

New houses can do that.
We need more info - what email service is this issue about. Do you use several (gmail, yahoo, icloud,...) and is this issue the same for all? If you also use a computer or other device, is this issue common to them all? -

Time capsule not working properly after moving to a new house
Hello,
I have a macbook pro and a refurbished time capsule 2tb. I purchased both in 2013 and the time capsule at that time was used as both a wireless router for our house and my back up.I recently moved and didn't have access to the time capsule for over a month. Once I settled into the new house I plugged the power cable and internet connection into the time capsule and assumed that automatically it would keep working. It appears that it is backing up my system as I can pull up the application and see appropriate in-time documents however it consistently has a slow orange light blinking. I am not currently using it as a router as we have xfinity and have a different router for the house and when I try to use the time machine instead it cannot connect.
My internet connection is fine and I would like to leave it as is. It also appears the back up function is working for my mac. The question is, does the orange blinking light matter and or is it indicating that I am improperly using the machine? It it because the ethernet cable is attached and can the time capsule work without this?
I have tried resetting the capsule with the 10seconds hold on the reset button etc as seen on other posts but the orange light remains.
Thoughts?
Thank you for your time and assistance,
ahahn063The question is, does the orange blinking light matter and or is it indicating that I am improperly using the machine?
The amber light is like the "Check Engine" light in your car. It blinks for a reason......the Time Capsule has a message for you.
That message might be that there is a firmware update available for the Time Capsule that needs to be installed....or....that AirPort Utility has detected that the Time Capsule is not configured correctly to work with the Xfinity router that you are now using.
To see the message.....open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the amber dot
Then look for a Status setting, and click on the small amber dot there
A message will appear to tell you why the Time Capsule is whining, along with a suggested action to fix the issue.
If you are still having difficult, we for you to post back with the exact message that you see. -
I have a Macbook Pro (2013) OS 10.8.1. Moved into a university house and need to use ethernet cable. Bought the Thunderbold connection but when I try to use the ethernet with it a webpage comes up saying Wireless Setup and Router Setup? I have previously used ethernets in similar situations and never had to input information like this?
I have tried to turn of the wi-fi but that doesn't work either. I think it could be a something to do with the internet provider because virginmedia comes up on the webpage. This is what comes up:
Wireless Setup
WGR614V9
V1.0.11_1.0.1VGUK
Wireless Setup
Name (SSID):
Security Passphrase (WPA-PSK):
(8-63 characters)
Channel:
01 06 11
Router Setup
Router Password:
(8-63 characters)
any ideas?!? -
I've got an apple 3TB time capsule. It was working fine until we moved to a new house. The day the ISP showed up to upgrade my speed it stopped working. Now will not pick up signal. What happened what do I do?
What signal is it picking up? Are you joining wireless network? If so don't.. it is really poor way to run things.
Is it connected to a cable modem? Full router or just a modem type?
Try a reset?
Plug in via ethernet.. turn off everything.. wait 5min then restart cable modem.. if that doesn't work, give it a longer off cycle.. 15min or overnight.
We need more info. -
Hi,
My friend and I are moving into a new flat and are attempting to get our utilities set up before we move in. How do I go about finding out if we have a Bt landline when I cannot get access to the property and do not have a known phone number for the premesis.
If there is no way to do that could you please tell me the conventional method of finding out so I can tell my letting agency as they do not seem to know ( appauling isn't it).
Any help is appreciated,
Cheers.Hi Tomkix,
I can check the address details for you to see if there is an active line. Please could you drop an email, to the email address found in my profile? Please make sure to include the address details and a link to this thread.
Thanks

Despite booking the House Move Transfer 9 weeks before moving - yes NINE weeks - it has taken another four weeks for me to get an active line. Excuses from BT Retail, have in the main blame BT Openreach (i.e. no cables installed - yes there are!; not enough circuits in the exchange - Duh, there is substantial developments going on in the area, surely not a surprise; then the best of all, after arranging an appointment date, it was brought forward and it seemed impossible to put it back to the original date!!)
Anyway I have now a working phone line, the data usage on my mobile phone has melted, and a broadband connection which is currently running at around 300kB/s - yes that is 300kB/s. The upload speed is well over twice that at around 800kB. We are now well past the three days that BT advise is normal for the speed to get up to an "normal" level. BT Homehub 3 working well, networking the laptops, printer and smartphones well.
The Homehub is plugged into the master socket and I have done a restart, however I guess I will need to be patient, and maybe sometime I might have a usable boardband speed.Second time - this time I appear to have a formatting available
"This took a while. The only way I could initially get onto the forum was by using my MobileWifi. Hooked back upto the HomeHub to get the details. Not sure about the formatting of the message, however it is a miracle I have managed to get it it this time."

I Moved From New York To Florida, But Kept The Same WiFi/Router, But The Maps App and My iPod Touch(4th Gen. & iOS 6) Is Still Registering My Location In New York.
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds -

Hi Wenda,
This is likely a permission issue. Our Parameter prompts and dll's have dependencies on Java. Assuming this is a WEB app it's possible your browser is not allowing scripts to run or your local firewall of MS firewall, anti-virus etc. may be blocking your code from passing the values. Check the browser settings and try lowering the security to see if that works.
Thank you

I currently have iTunes on my laptop for my iPhone, but I'm getting a new laptop so is there anyway of just plugging my phone in and getting all my iTunes stuff back
You need to... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Backup iTunes to an External Drive

An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes... -
How can I fix this it is screwing up Siri and everything.
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that Apple has not yet updated their database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.
Just make sure the users with iPhones visit you and connect o your wifi. -
Does a HDTV need to be present during install? (I'm moving into a new place).
Hello,
I won't have my HDTV until later in the week but my FIOS install is on Monday.
Does the tech absolutely require a TV? Or can I just bring my TV in later, plug in the HDMI and start watching.
Thanks.templecity wrote:

You can have the TV connected later, but it's always a risk. With a TV the tech can confirm proper operation before they leave.
