Loss of pointer

I have a 21.5" iMac with mavericks,a wireless keyboard and trackpad,during normal use I am experiencing loss of pointer and a locked screen.The only way Iknow is to switch off using the rear power button,switch on and wait for a reboot.
I have tried a "safe start" process but this doesn't help.
Can anyone advise me please.

Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
Run Repair Drive and Repair Permissions using Disk Utility in Recovery.

Odd, Points showing and then taken away?

Hello everyone,
I just noticed a rather odd thing happen to my point count in 10.3 and ealier usage forum. My point accumalation was such that it was showing in the sidebar "Top Rated Members" as 570 points after I had been awarded what appeared to be 10 points. I didn't at the time know where the points had been awarded but went off searching of my post and saw a "Helpful" 5 point award in one of the last topics I had posted to but I could not find the other 5 points........
With the above as a preface, I now just saw that I have 565 points in the sidebar of the 10.3 and earlier usage forum.
Is the forum software giving errors of point totals and then correcting?
Has anyone seen this before? Perhaps it's a common problem that I have just never noticed before?
I'm truly not concerned about the loss of points but just more interested in what could have caused the problem.....
littleshoulders [:-)

I have seen this happen to me as well. I saw it when I received points in a thread that was then removed and thought that it was just plain gone.
However, they aren't really gone. The current forum software doesn't allow for posts or threads to be deleted. They are actually moved to an administrative area that is not for everyone to see.
If a thread is moved, the points are still on your ID, but they will show in that administrative area instead of the 10.3 area in this case. They are still part of your overall total, but not part of the 10.3 total. I saw this myself when either Kappy or Tuttle showed me this area where I am one of the Top 10 - LOL!
Hope that makes sense.

Randomly jumpy mighty mouse (bt) pointer and trackpad too (once only)

Gents,
I have recently noted that, sometimes (randomly and rarely for the time being), the pointer of my bluetooth MM (Mighty Mouse) moves farther than what I was expecting it to move. This happened probably in concomitance with the opening of some application, as Iphoto. In other words, it appeared to me that the pointer accelerated more than what I demanded it to move with the displacement of the mouse. It was not really a jump but almost one, like a transitory, but contained, loss of pointer control.
I believe that a similar event occurred also once with the trackpad pointer when I went to the bottom of the screen to make dock appear in concomitance with a skype call launch....the pointer seemed to move fast to the right although I am quite sure it was not my finger to command this motion on the pad.
I have tried (with respect to MM) to delete and recreate the bluetooth .plist but it did not prevent from having this occurrence (note also that the batteries are OK).
I have read in some other forum that this might be due to OSX pointer acceleration (not perfect) management, but I would like to be comforted by any similar feedback / experience of yours.
Thanks
Cheers

I had a similar problem. I would move my mouse across the screen but randomly it would "catch" or "get stuck" very briefly throughout its movement. Like something was holding it back. I tried replacing mousepads, deleting the Bluetooh connection and re-pairing, deleting preference files...nothing. I even tried buying two new mice but they all had the same problem.
I headed to an Apple Store and a Genius reproduced the problem. He had not heard of this before but it was clearly reproducible in front of his eyes. And sure enough, my Mighty Mouse was working fine on other Macs. So they set up repair job to replace my Bluetooth chipset (which is integrated into the display so they had to replace the display). A day later I picked it up and it works perfectly!
I suggest going to an Apple Store and getting your Bluetooth chip replaced!

hi all
i have defined a new survey in the survey suite.
after that i added this survey to an example opportunity, filled out the questions and saved all.
now the following is displayed in my opportunity:
"You have reached of 1 points, this is equivalent to 0%"
how and where can i define that i wouldn't display this points/sentence?
thanks for any hints.
best regards,

Good Day Kady,
i have to admit since the change over i stopped coming to the forums for months. much of it had to do with the loss in point system and the changes in the level system componded by the incorrect number of posts i was credited with.
in a nut shell, i gave up on increasing my level or any real points. at the time of the change over, many of us posted on the pros and cons of the point system and the issue of reliablity.
i would guess now that months have come and gone, we will probably not see the point system back. your reply of ...hoping this will happn soon." was a similar one i say, not by you, in posts months ago.
yes, i am being negative about it. i guess it would just be easier if we all just forget how it was and just work with what we have. hence my post here. i know the vast majority of the posters here are volunteers and have nothing to do with apple, but if you or anyone else that reads this does. We need to add some way of indicating a posters reliability in their advice.
i have put up many posts and to my knowedge none are given points and since the number of posts don't matter. i guess will not ever make the new L3, but that isn't the point.
thanks for your hard work.

How do I use a quadrature encoder as an external clock (PCI 6229)

Hello, ( a similar post has been placed on DAQ forum apologies as I did not know best place)
I have a PCI 6229 M Series data acquisition card. I want to use a quadrature encoder to be the external clock driving the acquisition of a number of signals. I have set up reading 24 signals each time a clock pulse is received using the DAQ assistant and set my external clock to pin pfi8 (I think) this is then connected to an encoder output. This works well enough until the encoder is run too fast when it appears I am either missing pulses or getting bounce.
How can I set up to clock using a quadrature encoder? I have seen a number of questions on this forum regarding quadrature encoders and reverse counting but not on using them as an external clock.
Basically I want to have the stability and "bounceless" nature of using two outputs from a quadrature encoder whilst still using an external clock. Is this just a case of configuring controls to certain pfi's? If so how is it done?
Any help or pointers would be helpful. So far I have managed very nicely by simply using the DAQ assistant and the interface it has would suggest that if configured for a certain pfi pin I could actually still use it.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

Hi,
Well I've had alook into this for you and I'm not quite sure I understand what you are looking for.
Is it possible for you to phone back in to support?
The reason you are seeing bounce at high speeds, or indeed loss of points, is due to the sampling rate that you have set up.
What you will find is that the trigger will start an aquisition of a number of points at a certain rate. If your sampling rate is too low then you will not finish that sample batch before the next set of samples is recorded.
It is possible to use an external clock into a trigger or digital line, however this will limit the number of samples you can take to the speed of your encoder.
If you increase your sampling rates, and then configure a start trigger from a single input from the encoder you will be able to record a number of samples after a rising/falling edge. (Set the clock as an internal clock)
Hope this helps

Windows 7 (x64) taskbar not working after using digitizer in tablet mode. x61t.

Hi,
I have Windows 7 professional x64 on my thinkpad x61t. I updated all drivers from windows update and also from lenovo.com. So far it's been about two weeks with no problems. But when I started using tablet mode (fold) for lecturing a class (clone video output) in tablet mode, the taskbar stops responding to my clicks. No error message or anything, but I just can't press the start button or anything on the taskbar using a stylus. The point on the screen moves and follows my digitizer/mouse correctly, but I can't press anything. The keyboard works though, so I can restart the computer to get it back working. What could be causing the problem?
I've tried installing lenovo-wacom dual touch driver, but it only caused more problems, so I had to remove it and use the windows update driver.
x61 tablet / multitouch / 3GB Ram / intel wifi / bluetooth

Workaround: Press 'Control + Alt + Del' to open task manager, and click 'Cancel'.
Stylus worked okay during teaching using Onenote. The problem starts when I start clicking the start menu and try opening other programs while in tablet mode. Once the loss of pointer, the only thing works is the keyboard.
I found a workaround for this. Press 'Control + Alt + Del' to open task manager, and click 'Cancel'. Then you can gain control again, at least until the next time you loose mouse/tablet control.
I currently have hotkey driver and sound driver (final driver for win7). For system interface driver / tablet button driver / tablet shortcut menu, I installed beta drivers. All other drivers were updated through Windows Update.
I'd appreciate if anyone finds a fix for this problem.

Urgent complaint against the company for the game (Call of War 2)

HI Apple Customer
I want to lodge a complaint against the company for the game Call of War 2 where they were paid large sums of money to buy gold from within the game , and the problem is that the game does not work properly in this talk to my complaint on behalf of a lot of people affected by this game
The beginning of my problem with them is that I paid $ 10 dollars to buy gold from within the game and did not I receive gold and filed a complaint and you 've Pthoila link to the company and the amount demanded , but did not recover to now
Second, you then ship went at least $ 200 in order to increase my points within the game , but what happened unlooked
Where she lost a lot of points in the game through suspension compulsory in the game during the winning entry for the battle where the message appears ( There was an error in the game and is being re- loaded (
Causing heavy losses to me where I went in the amounts paid by the wind
I am not the only one suffering from this problem , but all the players in the game and what they are Arabs and our own website in English , they do not know how to make a complaint to you
Of the problems that I face when I entered I battle to download and try to destroy the enemy soldiers and earn points .. got an error message appears and the game is being re- uploaded because of this and lost a lot of points
In contrast, the enemy attacked by Ali and win and take the points, losing my points from both sides , not only one side
To prove that you have attached pictures
In addition to this when my complaint is they do not respond quickly , and that was answered say that Gary solve the problem for them and what has not been nearly two weeks to solve the problem
The tickets are closing the complaint without my consent and my advice so
Lost in the game nearly 100 points and lost a lot of mattresses because of their problems and in spite of my claim Ptaubi but they do not care about it any attention , where only care about attracting players to buy gold through without paying attention to the daily announcements technical support and solving problems of the game
Picture number one shows the attack, which I've done and lost it , and the reason is that the game is stopped and failed landing soldiers what caused the loss of points
The second picture shows the defense so that also lost a lot of points
I can not attack while the other players came to heavy losses and lost
I hope compensatory and accounting problems that the company did not end
And to you my thanks and appreciation

Complex SQL calculated/Group Query

I am trying to write a complex aggregate query(s) to compile a standings table for a soccer league.
There are four related tables:
Matches
Goals
Players
teams
I have yet to finalize the database structure so I can add fields if necessary.
In the goals table I track the match that the goal was scored in and which player
scored it.
I am trying to create a query that will give me a standings table.
The fields I need to calculate are:
team name
Wins
Loses
Draws
For instance: There was a match on 4/21/2012. The players on HomeTeam(A) scored a combined 6 goals. The players on AwayTeam(B) scored 1 goal (All stored in the Goals table). Therefore, Hometeam won by a score of 6-1. I need
a query that spits out:
Team                Wins          Losses          Draws
Points
HomeTeam(A)      1                 0                 0
3
AwayTeam(B)       0                 1                 0                 3
Wins are worth 3 Losses 0 and Draws 1 point each team.
I am a long time SQL admin, but I think the complexity of calculating this is a little beyong me. I need some help to get where I need to be.

Okay, I haven't yet been able to figure out the draws because of the trouble of linking back to both teams, but here's what I have so far.
First, here is the test data:
Declare @tvMatches Table (
MatchID int IDENTITY(1,1)
,MatchDate datetime
,HomeTeamID int
,AwayTeamID int
Declare @tvGoals Table (
GoalID int IDENTITY(1,1)
,MatchID int

Declare @tvPlayers Table (

,TeamID int
,PlayerName varchar(30)
Declare @tvTeams Table (

,TeamName varchar(20)
Insert @tvTeams
Select 'Winners'

Select 'Planes'
Insert @tvPlayers
Select 1, 'Bill'

Select '20120201', 3, 4

Select '20120301', 4, 1

Using this test data, you want to compile the actual match outcomes. This can be problematic to do on the fly every time though, if you have a lot of matches or teams to calculate for. But, with a simple cte, we have:
;with cteMatches as
Select m.MatchID
,m.MatchDate
,m.HomeTeamID
,ht.TeamName HomeTeamName
,m.AwayTeamID
,at.TeamName AwayTeamName
,( Select Count(1)
From @tvGoals g
Where g.MatchID = m.MatchID
And g.TeamID = m.HomeTeamID
) HomeScore
,( Select Count(1)
From @tvGoals g
Where g.MatchID = m.MatchID
And g.TeamID = m.AwayTeamID
) AwayScore
From @tvMatches m
join @tvTeams ht
on m.HomeTeamID = ht.TeamID
join @tvTeams at
on m.AwayTeamID = at.TeamID
) --select * from cteMatches
This returns the MatchID, MatchDate, team information and the score. Basically, you have the match, team and player data tied to the goals table, so you just do a count (using correlated subqueries) to get the score of each team. Next step is
to calculate the winner and loser (and eventually whether there even was a winner) by comparing the scores:
,cteWinners as
Select cm.MatchID
,cm.HomeTeamID
,cm.HomeTeamName
,cm.AwayTeamID
,cm.AwayTeamName
,Case
When cm.HomeScore > cm.AwayScore Then cm.HomeTeamID
When cm.HomeScore < cm.AwayScore Then cm.AwayTeamID
Else 0
End WinningTeamID
,Case
When cm.HomeScore > cm.AwayScore Then cm.AwayTeamID
When cm.HomeScore < cm.AwayScore Then cm.HomeTeamID
Else 0
End LosingTeamID
From cteMatches cm
) --select * from ctewinners
This returns MatchID, team information and the ID's for winning and losing teams. For now it returns 0 if it's a draw. Once we know the outcomes of all the matches, we calculate the actual win/loss for each team:
,cteRecords as
Select t.TeamName
,Count( Case
When cw.WinningTeamID = t.TeamID Then 1
End
) Wins
,Count( Case
When cw.LosingTeamID = t.TeamID Then 1
End
) Losses
From @tvTeams t
join cteWinners cw
on t.TeamID = cw.HomeTeamID
or t.TeamID = cw.AwayTeamID
Group By t.TeamName
) --select * from cteRecords
That last cte returns just team name, and then the number of wins and losses for each team. This is where I got stuck with the draws, because I'm not quite sure yet how to properly assign a draw to both teams involved.
Now, finally you put it all together with some simple match to determine the points, and there you are:
Select TeamName
,Wins
,Losses
,(Wins * 3) Points
From cteRecords

DatabaseMetaData.getAttributes throwing 'unsupported feature' exception

Hi, maybe someone can help me with this.
For a given schema, I'm trying to find the definition of a user-defined type. However, the getAttributes method of DatabaseMetaData throws an exception, claiming that the feature is unsupported.
This is the code:
Connection connection = null; ResultSet resultSet = null; try { connection = DriverManager.getConnection( URL, USERNAME, PASSWORD ); DatabaseMetaData dbMD = connection.getMetaData(); System.out.printf( "%s %d.%d%n", dbMD.getDatabaseProductName(), dbMD.getDatabaseMajorVersion(), dbMD.getDatabaseMinorVersion() ); resultSet = dbMD.getAttributes( null, null, "BATCH_T", "%" ); // this is line 32 // code to print the ResultSet } finally { if( resultSet != null ) resultSet.close(); if( connection != null ) connection.close(); }
And this is the output:
Oracle 10.2 Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Unsupported feature at oracle.jdbc.OracleDatabaseMetaData.getAttributes(OracleDatabaseMetaData.java:10980) at udttest.Main.main(Main.java:32)
The driver is the very latest one from the Oracle site, ojdbc6.jar, version 11.2.0.2.0. According to the JavaDocs of OracleDatabaseMetaData, the getAttributes method has been there since 9.0.2. So does this means that the method has merely been present, and always throws this exception?
Alternatively, is there another way of programmatically retrieve information about a user-defined type?
Thanks,
- Peter

+"One issue we have at work is to pass to or receive from a PL/SQL stored procedure a Java object."+
What I read from that is that you wish to get/send a "java object" to PL/SQL.
Thus PL/SQL would in fact need to know what a "java object" is.No, you forgot to read the context: I wanted to know how Java could figure out how an Oracle user-defined type looked like, not the other way around. This business of "PL/SQL knowing about a Java object" is something you invented, that you keep harking on, and which I never said. So could you please drop it?
I read what you posted, not your mind.
Well, I could think of having the business logic for an application in PL/SQL, and using Java to create an API or web > > > Specifically, it's about an SMS sending application, which is interacting with just one table in Oracle and an SMS-C. Want to send an SMS? Insert it into the table. Want to receive one? Read it from the table. Any application that wants to send any number of SMS's, would therefore interact with this database, and a lot of things can be done purely in Oracle, without the need of having a separate application requiring the attention of support staff.Which I can implement completely and easily without using PL/SQL user defined types.Really? There are a lot of optional parameters when sending an SMS. It's not just sender, recipient and text content. So if I want to send, say an identical message to 10,000 recipients, or I want to send 10,000 individual messages; in both cases, with certain parameters for such things like time-outs, SMS-C port, protocol ID, data coding, delivery report options, priority, and all the other things that SMPP allows you to define, how would you pass those in a manner that doesn't lead to dozens of stored procedures, or very long parameter lists?
Standard normal form in relational databases - an option table.
And I doubt a valid format for delivery would work with 10,000 recipients stored in a single UDF verus a receiptant table.
Not to mention of course that the fact that there might be one case for a UDF doesn't mean that the usage is a good idea for most applications. Or even that one application that uses a single UDF will need more than one of them.
Restating what I said "...doesn't mean that it *normally* a good idea to use it."
To clarify your confusion about that statement it means that there will in fact be some cases where it is acceptable but most cases it is not.
Or do you prefer calling stored procedures with endless parameter lists? Or to have a whole bunch of insert and update statements called from Java?No idea what you are talking about. See the above example about sending SMS messages.
Option table.
First what you mention above is a standard idiom in all programming languages and used extensively since interactions between programming languages and relational database began.What, whole loads of stored procedures, or doing all the updates and inserts from Java? We've come to the conclusion that the inability to validate an SQL statement in Java source code is a bugger, and that it's better to do this sort of thing in a stored procedure. Also, using arrays means a significant performance improvement, and an array of objects/user-defined types is the next thing that comes to mind.
That will not be a consideration in most applications. And for those applications where there is a proven performance bottleneck at the database layer most applications would be better served with one or more of the following
1. Redoing the architecture/design
2. Using a caching mechanism.
3. Even look at redoing the requirements.
Secondly I have no idea what you mean by "endles parameter lists". I do not have that problem. If you do then I can only suggest that you should look at problems with your design rather than than attempting to solve it with your implementation.If you have a lot of parameters, like with sending SMS messages, some of which are optional whilst others are not, and when many of these parameters are identical between different insert statements, you have two options:
* use very long parameter lists.
* use user-defined types; for example, an array with 'recipient + messages' types, and a single 'all other options' type.
Or an option table.
Perhaps not, but I didn't take off at a tangent. Anyway, one way of preventing binding is by having one of the frameworks figure out on its own what the other is doing. The whole reflection and annotation thing in Java lets you do that. Unfortunately, the getAttributes() method does not.
First as you yourself noted it is irrelevant.No, that's something you claimed. When you ask for an example, don't brush them off as being irrelevant.
My mistake then.
Second dynamic interface code is NOT a mechanism that reduces coupling. The fact that it is dynamic does not alter the dependency.It reduced coupling between source code, which is what it's all about. I can always fix a library; it's a lot easier than changing dozens of applications.
No it doesn't. Coupling is coupling. The manner of calling the methods doesn't alter the semantics that require that the method is called in the first place.
That is similar to claiming that something like perl/javascript is less "coupled" because the language is interpreted versus C++ where the method calls are compiled. Which of course is not true.
I can store data in a database, any database, in any number of ways. None of which would require a Oracle user defined type.True, but I'm using Oracle for more than just storing data. PL/SQL is extremely powerful for certain operations, and it'd be silly not to employ that power.Which has nothing to do with what I said.Quite frankly, I'm at a loss what point exactly you're trying to make. Passing data between Java and Oracle user-defined types and arrays is a total pain, so as a programmer I'm trying to find a way to do this in a standard way, something that can be put in a library. I agree that it a complex issue.
It however is not something that most applications need however since most do not need UDFs.
And so I have written such a library: small, database-agnostic (should work with any JDBC data source, although I haven't tested it yet), but with annotations to mark what UDT a class maps to, and to what field within the UDT each field of the class maps to. It's the annotation bit I was wondering whether it could be avoided. Obviously, because Oracle doesn't support the getAttributes method, it would no longer be database-agnostic. Which is not really a problem, because we only use Oracle, unless a vendor supports only some other database.
Not sure what that means since most other databases do not support UDFs.
That fact that a feature exists is not by itself a reason to use it. Java has 'strictfp' but I have never had a single business need that required that I use it. As such if I saw someone attempting to use it or stating that it must be used then I would insist that the provide specific details driven from the business needs that required its usage.The fact that you cannot think of a use or a business need, does not mean one does not exist. I suggest you re-read my first post, since that is not what I said.

Why do I only show 3 posts?

Not so long ago, I was a level 3 user with a couple thousand posts. Was all that wiped clean?
I see some people still have over a thousand posts to their credit: have they made all those posts since the forums have been redone? Or did they get to keep their original running total?
Are levels gone for good? What about voting? (I won't miss that).
Just curious.
Thanks.

what was wrong with the old method? In my eyes
nothing. It seems like everytime somebody thinks
something or something is better its not. I
personally do not feel like going back and updating
everthing and I won't. If I've lost all my ratings
and or level thats it for the apple discussion
panel....
Hope that this is cleared up quickly
Regardles of what is brought back or lost, the discussion panels will still remain a valuable source of knowledge and help: too valuable to abandon over loss of points or levels, IMO.
I can't say as I wouldn't be a little disappointed not to see number of posts and/or levels returned, just because I find it a handy way to gauge the qualifications of an answer (a fellow with 10,000 posts must know something!).
Either way, I do appreciate and respect Apple's efforts to improve this site. It remains a valuable resource. If speed and ease of use result from these changes, then they'll be worth our temporary loss of comfort zone. Change for the sake of change is not necessarily good (though does have some merit, regardless), but I sincerely doubt the site developers have gone through this change simply to get us users in an uproar. I've learned to have faith in the brains behind Apple: they haven't ceased to amaze and impress me yet (one of the few stocks that has consistently grown over the last several years).
One final word: if we were to resist change just to avoid discomfort and inconvenience, we may well still be using OS 9 (shudder). And I know, some will shout that we should be. But really, for anyone whose given OS X a real chance, would you want to go back? Give the developers a chance.
I was just asking my original question to get up to speed on where this "remodel job" was at and to get a sense of where it was going. Thanks much to all who've contributed to answering my question.

Precision loss - conversions between exact values and floating point values

Hi!
I read this in your SQL Reference manual, but I don't quite get it.
Conversions between exact numeric values (TT_TINYINT, TT_SMALLINT, TT_INTEGER, TT_BIGINT, NUMBER) and floating-point values (BINARY_FLOAT, BINARY_DOUBLE) can be inexact because the exact numeric values use decimal precision whereas the floating-point numbers use binary precision.
Could you please give two examples: one where a TT_TINYINT is converted to a BINARY_DOUBLE and one when a TT_BIGINT is converted into a DOUBLE, both cases give examples on lost precision? This would be very helpful.
Thanks!

Can you point me to the setting that reopens all word documents on startup after the laptop shuts down due to loss of power? I'm a mac book pro user. Many thanks!

It'd be great if you could also advise on reopening safari windows on start up. I'm after the setting that helps us restore everything only after shutdown due to loss of power and not all the time! Thanks!

The option is in System Perferences on the General section (first Icone in Sys Perf) down near the bottom.
It's called "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
But that may not be the setting your are looking for.
There is also a setting on the Shut Down and Restart windows that says "Reopen windows when logging back in".
But is you computer shutting OFF, "I Mean Really Shutting OFF", or just going into Sleep mode.
If it is really turning complete off then that setting is not saved. For that to work the computer has to be shut down or re-started properly allowing the OS to save that App state.

At a loss with phone line

Firstly I am stating for the record that I have a problem with my phone line. My broadband issues are just a by-product of the phone line fault.
This problem has been going on for several years, although, 2 months ago i made some progress.
The problem with my phone line occurs during extreme weather conditions, heavy rain or winds and as a result of it not being a permanent feature of my phone line. Over the past year, it has got a lot worse (broadband constantly dropping, struggling to be heard when on the phone), and after a lot of arguing with BT an engineer came out. Now bare in mind that the BT line tests came back as perfect and not a problem. engineer took one look at the cable coming in to the house and it crumbled in his hand. He also mentioned that he was picking something "odd" up on the line, but couldn't be sure what it was and seeing as the broadband connected that he would leave it.
Since the engineers visit, I have had an OK phone line, just a bit quiet, until 2 weeks ago. When we had all that rain. The crackles came back that evening, causing crackles and white noise down the phone line. It lasted an hour or so, but enough time to turn my 2Mbps bras profile into a 130k profile. 3 days later and we recover (even though some intermittent crackles persist). The very next day and we're downloading at 2.5Mbps, the phone rings and the crackles are back.
The next day I ring up and complain and receive the whole dialogue about changing me £120 if the engineer comes out and can't find a fault. Funnily enough, the crackles (being intermittent) are not crackling at the time the engineer turns up, however, he states "The is more noise on the line than there should be" and "I'm going to pass it over to the underground team and see if they can find where the fault is". At this point I am now feeling hopeful that finally the fault might be found....
Half an hour ago I have heard nothing, I decide to phone up and see if there is any news... No fault found and expect a bill for £120 is the response, from a very nice Indian lady who did seem to struggle with understanding me or at least hearing me. i protested and asked how could the engineer tell me one story and for me to then be told that a line test shows no fault and that I have to pay!
Where it currently stands, is that I have insisted that the problem still exists and I have been told it will be resolved between 24-48hours.
I will of course wait and see what BT come back with tomorrow, but I am at a loss of what more I can do. I work from home and having an equivalent to ISDN when I pay for broadband because the phone line keeps having a fit is getting a bit of a hassle. If the BRAS IP profile did not take 3days to recover after a bad storm, then I could cope, but I'm now been on a 130k connection for over a week now and am looking at having to pay 3120 just because I am trying to do something about it.
If I turned round to my customers and said I'd look at their issue, but if I couldn't see anything I'd be charging them £120, they'd move else where.
Any advice as to how I can take this forward?

I thought I had better post an update and I am pleased to say that it seems it has a potentially positive outcome.
First of all the lady I spoke to on Friday got back to me yesterday to say that yet again OpenReach had investigated my issue "outside the property" and claimed to have "fixed the problem". While I am sceptical that they actually did anything (surely the broadband should have disconnected, if they fixed anything like replacing a cable, but as I am not a telcom's engineer I have not authority to make judgement), the lady implied that I had a case to dispute any charge if it ended up on my bill.
The second was a response from a forum moderator who says that after reading my posts, my email and my fault reports, they say that it sounds like this is being caused by "a high resistance fault on your line. These can be very had to get to the bottom of unless the engineer is testing the line when condition are bad" and while notes that the fault has been closed (conversation yesterday with lady from BT), they suspect that if the line does have this type of fault, then it is highly unlikely that the fault has actually been fixed and I should contact them back as soon as the noise starts up again. Oh, and they have requested no charges be applied for the visit on Thursday.
So, fingers crossed... It does seem to highlight quite a variance in the quality of customer service that you get from BT. Plus, no matter how frustrated you get, you should persevere, as there are some good people that seem willing to help and will be on your side.

At a total loss how to export IPhone 4 video To My PC

I've read and posted in various threads and looked all over the net. I admit I'm at a total loss as what I'm doing wrong at this point.
I want to take the video from my Iphone and move it to my PC so I can upload it in HD to youtube.
I've made sure to make sure my phone doesn't sync right away, gone to the my computer and click on my phone (shows a camera), then copy and paste or drag. When it moves it over it say 0 bytes.
I'll even post a link a buddy of mine sent and if you look at step 9 it says the videos should be quick time files. Mine says nothing where it says file types.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Like I said I'm at a total loss.

I'm not sure if this will help you, but I ran across the same issue. When I tried to pull the videos off the phone in windows, it would hang during the transfer, or not transfer at all. My photos and videos are kept on an external drive and I was trying to copy to that external drive. I copy and pasted the videos into the pictures folder on my PC (instead of the external drive) and it worked like a charm. Once that was done, I just had to drag and drop into the external drive.
I hope that helps!

At a loss with phone line and broadband

Hi,
First of all, sorry for cross posting this, but as you might gather I'm currently stuck between a rock and a hard place.
http://community.bt.com/t5/Phones/At-a-loss-with-phone-line/td-p/54639
I'm not going to repeat everything in that post, just to say when all equipment is unplugged and you get crackles and white noise through the phone, it can not be equipment, no matter how intermittent. Am I correct?
The main reason for cross posting is around the annoying BRAS IP profile. It seems that for 30mins of static, I get stuck on a 130k profile for 3days. I could cope with the occasional outage or slow down, but 3days is half a week and when you have the recent bad weather, you get 1day of decent profile before the next spat! As a result of this, I would like to see if anyone else in the community has been through similar?
I will point out that I have been working in IT for 13years, so I like to pretend that I know something about things, but I must say that BT is one of the only companies that I deal with and dealt with that seem insistent on blaming the customer for everything.

No I'm suggesting the mod team is preferable to calling India ....
What they do with you is down to them .... and you.
Allbeit I doubt you'll see a profile reset, but even better you may see a lasting resolution, hopefully.
