Lack of intelligent assistance when a fault is rep...

My elderly neighbour lives alone (her dog died yesterday to make things worse).  Her phone stopped working on Monday and since then she has been housebound without any form of means of contact whatsoever.   No mobile works at her cottage as it is deep within Ashdown Forest and therefore she has no way of seeking help, advice etc.   In order to call BT Faultline she borrowed my phone and they undertook to mend the fault within 4 days.  FOUR days!!!!!!!   In the meantime she is stuck unable to order shopping, speak to a frend, relative, hospital or doctor.   Can't BT grasp the difficulty involved for her and just fob her off.  Day 4 has arrived and so far no repair has been made to the phone.  Have BT no way of putting vulnerable and elderly people to the top of the queue or even using common sense?  Their profits should allow them to ocasionally make an exception and a human being help her rather than an automated dalek.   They should have a special emergency line for people like her who are cut off with a fault on the line.

    Clear space on your iPhone (go to Settings > General > Usage) and complete the download there.

  • SL3100 Pairing problem and the lack of intelligent reply from creative

    I posted a message a day or two ago about having trouble pairing my SL300 with its own adapter. This was a brand new out of the box unit. Since the unit was new I thought I'd ask Creative to assist and wrote to their tech support, who returned with following response. In my opinion this response shows a total lack of product knowledge or any concern whatever that one of their OWN products does not work. Here is the response I received when I could not pair THEIR ADAPTER with THEIR HEADSET? both of which came in a sealed box from THEM?I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. However, let me try my best to help you out in resolving this issue.
    To assist you on this, you may want to try on the following
    troubleshooting tips and see if they could help:
    1. Try unpairing the headset. A headset can only be paired to one device at a time.
    2. Recharge the headset and try pairing the headset once more. A headset will not automatically pair with the device again when powered on.
    3. Check that the device being paired to the headset has its Bluetooth feature(s) turned on.
    4. Ensure the headset is turned on and the battery is fully charged.
    5. Ensure the headset is within one meter of the device while pairing.
    6. Remove and replace the device's battery (if the device has a replaceable battery) and try pairing the device and the headset again.
    7. If prompted by the device for a passkey, enter 0000.
    8. Make sure the Bluetooth headset and the device are both running compatible protocols.
    9. Make sure the Bluetooth headset and the device are both running compatible protocols.
    10. Make sure there are no obstructions between the device and the headset when pairing.
    11. Make sure the pairing is being initiated on the headset, not the device the headset is being connected to.
    If the issue would still persist, the product may need to be repaired/replaced.
    The problem you described indicates your unit may require repair or replacement. If possible, try exchanging the product for another from the vendor, for this may be much quicker and easier than having an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) issued. If this is not possible, an RMA will need to be arranged to have your product tested for repair/replacement.
    If the product has exceeded its one year warranty period, an out-of-warranty RMA will need to be issued. This type of RMA requires a non-refundable US $25.00 diagnostics and handling fee for each out-of-warranty product. The fee is applied toward the complete cost of repair/replacement. If the cost of the repair/replacement exceeds the initial diagnostic fee, the RMA department will contact you to obtain your authorization for finance of the remaining fee. If the product has not exceeded its warranty, no diagnostic fee is required.

    It is pretty standard practice for you to get a more general response first time as it eliminates most users problems. And, unless you doing the pairing incorrectly, it seems the email does suggest an answer (its faulty) and recommends replacement.
    I would assume the problem is its broke too, so just try to return it to the shop you got it from.

  • Installing Sirius open-source intelligent assistant for Ubuntu on Arch

    I'm looking to install Sirius an open-source intelligent personal assistance similar to Apple's Siri or Microsoft Cortana   http://sirius.clarity-lab.org/. As of now all of the install scripts and packages are set for Ubuntu. What would be the best way to install this on Arch?

    So, let me get this straight. You have a precompiled binary for Windows and a source package for Arch. And you are wondering why does compiling take time? If an Arch binary existed, which you can obtain by compiling, installation would be fast in Arch too.
    Also, this is not about "FreeCAD not being for Arch newbies", it is about knowing the binary/source difference and if you are having problems comprehending that, then I suggest you do some reading before putting the blame on Arch.
    I am specifically complaining about the lack of a pre-compiled binary package for freecad (and its dependencies, like the huge opencascade) in Arch Linux. I regularly use Arch Linux, Gentoo, Debian and Ubuntu so, yes, I know the difference. I am just saying that Arch Linux + binary package for freecad is better than Arch Linux without it, so I'd like to know why it was excluded and/or nobody ever tried to submit it for the [community] repo.
    Too many packages, to few people maintaining them.
    This is the information I needed. Thanks. I have asked because I really didn't know the reason nor could find why it was not on [community]. I thought about non-free dependencies, security issues or whatever, but I really didn't know.
    karol wrote:Please, just because the package *you* care about is not in the [community] you have to start a thread?
    I don't care particularly for this package or for any other...I just picked up an use case which (partially) fails because (1) you can't know in advance how long it will take, (2) system can hangup (it just did!) and then you loose the partially compiled package, (3) the future upgrades will be bloody as well.

  • ORA-01017 error in Database Configuration Assistant when installing Oracle

    I am installing Oracle 9i, 9.0.1.1, on an NT Workstation.
    When I get to the Database Configuration Assistant step, after the software has been installed, I get an error when the database is being created:
    ORA-01017 Invalid Username/Password; Login denied
    I have tried several times with different database creations. The first time I got the error was when I did a custom database creation, the other time was when I created a general purpose database, which clones an existing database onto the NT workstation.
    The NT system that I am using had an earlier version of Oracle installed on it, which I completely uninstalled.
    Any ideas what might be wrong?

  • Blocking verizons search assist when typing in the safari search bar

         Ever since updating to Yosemite, I've noticed that verizon's search assist annoyingly keeps popping up when I search terms that before would automatically be going to google.
    Is there any way to fix this?
    Thank you!

    Back up all data.
    Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
              8.8.8.8
              8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
    In Safari, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
    Notes:
    1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the  Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
    2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

  • I have copied Iphoto library from other MAC using the migration assistant, when starting Iphoto the rebuild however stops half way (no progress after 24 hours)

    Using the migration assistant I copied my users from an old MAC (2007) to a brand new on. After a few attempts and software updates this worked. For Itunes and mail for example all data was available. On starting my Iphoto however there was a problem. When starting there is the message that the library, to be able to work with the new Iphoto Version, needs to be updated. In the process of doing this the programm seems to get stuck after 40 % of progress and even after 24 hours does not continue. I have tried to use the I-Photo First aid, but before starting any of the steps it wants to re-allign the old library to the new Iphoto version ans subsequently get's stuck on the same spot again !! Is there any advice you could give ?
    Thanks,
    John 

    I have tha same problem.
    iPhoto asks for updating, then it shows a bar about the conversion in progress, then it shows that it is working on faces library and then the circle spot stop to turn on faces library and starts in the middles of iPhoto window.
    After three days nothing changed!

    May not help but give this a try on the G5:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    I would also first turn off both computers then connect the FW cable. If both computers have a FW800 port then you can use a standard FW800 cable. Boot the G5 into TDM. After the TDM screen appears boot the new computer normally.

  • I did "Repair Disk" on OS 9 drive. Now I get the OS X Setup Assistant when I try to restart from it. How do I bypass it so I can restart from OS9?

    I run OS 10.6.8 on the main drive of a Mac Pro. On a separate drive, I run OS 9, so I can use Protools LE 7.3.1, an older version.
    Using Disk Utility, I recently did a Repair Disk routine on the OS 9 drive. There was nothing wrong with the disk, I was just trying to do some maintenance on it.
    But now, when I try to re-start from the OS9 drive, I get the Mac OS X Setup Assistant. The old files all seem to be still present on that drive.
    So how do I bypass the OS X Setup Assistant, and get it to boot up from OS 9?
    Thanks!
    Bruce

    Thanks Gary, Neville, and Jeff! I really appreciate the help.
    Jeff said the magic words:
    How were you running Mac OS 9 — with SheepShaver?
    Suddenly I realized--and this is embarrassing--that I was NOT running OS 9 on that drive, it was just an earlier version of OS X.
    What happened is that after I did that repair disk routine, I lost all my prefs on this drive, and so when I re-launched into it, it looked totally different than it used to look. You see, years ago, my Protools app wouldn't work in the then-current OS. And it seemed so long ago, that yesterday, I assumed that OS 9 must have been involved.
    Thanks again!

  • I recently purchased a MacBook Pro, I did not transfer files from my old pc with migration assistant when I set up the MacBook. A few days later I did the transfer, now my Itunes library and everything else from my old pc is under a different user account

    I've already setup the original user account and do not want to do it again, how do I merge the two user accounts into one so all of my stuff is under one user account?

    They are the same Itunes account (mine), but since I transferred the 'user account' with my Itunes library and other files from old pc to my new MacBook, I now have two 'user accounts' on my MacBook. The original I setup when I got the MacBook and the one I transferred from my pc. I've already went thru most of my photos in Iphoto and named all the faces along with general setup of how I want all my settings on my MacBook under the first user account, I don't want to start over and do it all again with the transferred user account, I just want to move my Itunes library I transferred over to my original user account on my MacBook. Does this make any sense? lol

  • Lack of free space when updating Whatsapp (dual SI...

    Hello, I have a dual sim 206, the phone goes OK, but when I try to upgrade Whatsapp it tells me that I need 1,5 mb of free space. The preinstalled apps (that I've never used) are consuming the space needed for this upgrade. I have a MSD card of 8GB.
    This problem is rather annoying, I don't understand why I can not choose the apps I want, especially when these preinstalled apps are giving me problems.
    Thank you in advance for your comments.

    Did you try without microSD? For some users, this gave a little bit more free space. Furthermore, did you try the Nokia Suite » (lifebelt) Support » Phone info and tools » Make space? Did you try to remove those app you can?

  • Do you run Pre-Upgrade Assistant when migrate from 10.1 to 10.2

    Hello,
    I tried to upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2 on Windows. Base on installation guide, you have to install 10.2 in a separate ORACLE_HOME, then run utlu102i.sql through SQL before run DBUA. Since I installed 10.2 without create start database because SID is same as 10.1. How to run pre-upgrade assistant? Or should I setup new SID for 10.2 and change it back after migrate database from 10.1 to 10.2.
    Your assistance will be appreciated,

    I'd suggest to check the "manual upgrade/migration" method described in upgrade doc.
    As a summary:
    utlu102.sql is just a step to verify some prereqs needed before going to 10.2
    You'll need to shutdown your 10.1 DB. Copy your .ora files from 10.1.to 10.2; adjust them appropriately.
    Set your Oracle_home to 10.2; keep same SID. Startup upgrade, then run catpatch.sql (if i remember correctly).
    All these steps are well described in the manual.
