My next door neighbour can but I can't?

Hi guys,
I was wondering if someone might be able to help me understand the reason why my next door neighbour can receive BT Infinity & I cannot. We are in a terrace street but have our telephone wires coming from different poles. The poles appear to be joined by wire. I can see the green cabinet from my front door, but I am apparently not eligible. What could cause two houses from the same exchange, next door to each other have different availablity? My other neighbour (on the same pole as me) cannot receive infinity.
Thanks in advance

Use the checker to determine which cabinets you're all connected to: http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/adslchecker.welcome
You may be on different cabs or not even connected to a cab but direct to exchange

I am having difficulties connecting to my TalkTalk router all of a sudden. The router is downstairs, but I can pick up BT wi-fi from the next door neighbour.

Without moving my router or iMac, I can not now connect to my router which is downstairs and almost directly below my iMac. But I can connect to a BT FON network which is presumably coming from our neighbour - further away. Have I suddenly developed a "dead spot", or something else? And will that dead-spot be eliminated by setting up an Airport base station???

Yes, on-line chat is nothing but a nuisance. I've just scanned their current system and it has changed markedly. You could try another route. Call BT and through their technical department you could 'complain' that your neighbours system is impinging on yours. Talk Talk uses BT anyway.

Next-door gets infinity but i dont

I have been looking into getting infinity for a very long time now because i am the main user of the internet in our household. I regularly upload videos to youtube, but it takes a long time as well as knocking out wifi on all other devices. I recently noticed on my phone that a house nearby is using a hh5. (I believe is made for infinity) so i went online out of curiosity to check whether houses nearby got infinity. Turns out my nextdoor neighbour has infinity but for me it says i cant have it. I am just asking why this is the case. What did they do which allows them infinity which we havent done?

If you use the checker posted by imjolly in the above post it will tell what cabinet you are on and what services it can receive.
If it does not show a cabinet number it will be because you are on an Exchange Only(EO) line. This means you can not get Infinity because you are not connected to a cabinet, instead you are connected directly to the exchange.
Sometime in the future Openreach may install a cabinet out side the exchange and this will allow EO lines to connect to a cabinet. This however is not high on their priority list so may take some time.
Use your phone number. If you don't have a BT number use the address checker. It is more accurate than the post code checker which can cover more than one cabinet.

I want to FaceTime with a friend in Japan. Can I just call her through my contacts list the same way I would call my friend who live next door to me?

I want to FaceTime with a friend in Japan. Can I just call her through my contacts list the same way I would call my friend who live next door to me?

Short Answer: Yes
When they set up facetime, they either used an apple ID, or (for iphone only) their phone number. You call using one of them. An apple id linked email address in my opinion is simpler, as you don't need to worry about country codes and the like. (I have never tried to facetime anyone out of the country, so I will admit I am not sure what you do about country codes.)
These articles are a little dated, but should help you set up your or your friends facetime if you need to.

I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens, but I get the error next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions?

I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens. LR closes on it's own, I reopen it and get that same message next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions? If I click on a different set of photos in the libary before I get that message I might or might not get the message next time it oipens, but I still can not get to those photos, and it is not just one or two but most of my photos. HELP!!!!
Thanks
Carol

The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

Macbook Air can not find my wifi. It detects all the neighbouring ones but can not find mine.

Hi. I have a new (5months old) Macbook Air that used to work fine. Until now...
I went for a 2 months trip and left my macbook at home, so it was not is use for the past 2 months. When I turned it on a couple of days ago, the date and time was messed up (automatic setting showed me 01.01.2012.) and the bigger issue, it can not find my wifi network. It detects all the neighbouring networks but mine. I have tried setting up a new network, troubleshooting, etc, but nothing has worked. My iPhone and my other laptop (hp) can find the wifi without any problem. The network settings have not changed either...
Any idea how to solve this?
Many thanks!

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
The problem is, I can't even open the network preference pane, as it is not responding.
Earlier I wanted to log into iCloud - it started loading and now it is completely 'frozen'. I can not close it, I can not quit system preferences and I also can not restart my macbook (it won't let me until I quit system preferences).
I am sure the solution is very easy, but I have no idea what to do
Many thanks for your help in advance!

Oooops my neighbours can access my Infinity

Hi, To test my new Inifinity's speed on a better PC I borrowed my friendly neighbours laptop and entered my wireless/password key into their laptop so I could log into my network.
However their laptop has now "remembered" my password and they can now access my network at anytime by clicking on it. Initially it was logging into my network in their house as my signal is strong next door. I have reset their network to auto login to their TalkTalk account, but they can still access my wi-fi just by clicking on the wi-fi icon as it has remembered my password. I tried to elete my password in network properties but it won't let me.
Do I have to reset my password on my Home Hub5 to prevent this? Would I then have to retype in this new password to all mobile devices in my house to access the new wi-fi? Or can I do something on their laptop to remove my password from its memory?
We get on really well and I trust them entirely but I'd rather know only I can access my wi-fi.

To be sure you have to change the password on the router - and all your devices
But you can tell their laptop to forget your network, depending on what version of the operating system it is

BT digging path to fix line fault - but Next door?...

Hi
I made a post recently recently about how my internet and phone line have not been working.
I had an engineer visit today and he said the fault was under the path outside our property, and that he would organise for his colleague to come back and mark the path for the contractors to dig.
That's all fair enough so I went back to work. I came home to find the markings to dig are right outside next doors driveway, I wasn't notified about this, and nor were our neighbors. If they dig there, it will completely block access to our neighbors drive.
I've called BT, but the chap didn't speak very good English and basically said, they know what they're doing.
Is it normal for our phone line to not be working if the fault is next door? The last thing I want is for BT to dig up the wrong path.
The last time I had problems, the mods were infinitely better than the phone support. Can a mod please have a look into this and double check they marked the correct property?
Thanks

This turned out to be bit of a nightmare really.
BT did dig up the path outside next door, only to find that my line was completely damaged to the point where everything needed to be replaced.
This meant the path, my garden and part of my drive (which BT said they would not do!! It looks terrible!!) had to be dug up just to replace this cable. It was not just a bit of the path either, a stretch of around 15-20 meters from outside my house to the house two doors down.
Lets just say my neighbours were not happy, the contractors made an horrific job of it and left it in a complete mess with mud and sand everywhere. I realise this wasn't exactly BT's fault exactly as their only contractors, but still, this is not good at all.
What makes it worse is that my internet is still absolutely terrible. It hasn't been long since the work has been done, and I realise that it should automatically rise in speed after so long, but if anything it's actually worse than before BT came and made a huge mess.
My line is estimated to get 65mb's down and around 15mb's up. It hasn't changed from that for around 48 hours, and is usually slower, should I not see a slight increase in that time?
If my IP profile for upload is saying 20mb's, should I not actually be getting this, or close to it as I know my line is capable of it.
Do I need my line resetting or something?

Best Buy has Zero iPhone4s but the AT&T store NEXT DOOR has 80 (with more arriving!)

Best Buy in Mount Laurel, NJ (1400 Nixon Drive) has ZERO iPhone 4s as of 6 PM on 6/28. Despite preordering on the 15th and I am still waiting with no word on when my phone will be in.
So I call the AT&T store that is located NEXT DOOR @ 1420 Nixon Drive. I mean it is literally right next door in the strip mall. I'm told that they received 80 phones today and are expecting a shipment of 60 to 80 MORE phones tomorrow. The rep told me that they will have extra phone for walk-ins, but it's going to be first come-first served, etc.
I mean, C'MON! It's like a bad joke.
I've heard the arguement "it's not us, it's Apple" from Best Buy, but I guess I'm not clear on why Best Buy seems to have no leverage to get their pre-orders expedited.
Heck, I don't understand why Best Buy can't, at minimum, get a straight answer from Apple about where/when Best Buy will be getting replenishment stock.
As a customer, I don't care who's "fault" it is - in my opinion, it's Best Buy's fault. Obviously, there's no universal shortage of iPhone 4s when the AT&T store is getting extras and Best Buy can't fullfill it's preorders from the 15th.
IMO, the problem is that Best Buy must have a pretty weak relationship with Apple to be treated this way. As a small business owner, if one of my suppliers was jerking me around like this, I'd sever the relationship. (Sure, I know this is more complex, but the principle is that Best Buy has a bunch of angry customers due to Apple's lack of support. That's a BAD business relationship, when your partners force you to lose crediblilty with customers).
I'll never pre-order from Best Buy again. But you can blame Apple for that ...

It simply amazes me that Best Buy continues to point fingers away from themselves. I understand the RS situation. They've never been what I'd consider an outlet for this type of situation. While sad, RS's ineptitude doesn't surprise me. Best Buy's does.
That tells me there are more fundamental problems with Best Buy. They either don't have a good relationship with their vendors (in this case, Apple). Or, they really don't have a handle on inventory and shipping basics. Maybe, as has been suggested, there's something amiss with employees taking the customer pre-orders and putting their family and friends in front of them. Still, this has happened at seemingly every Best Buy store. That tells me the problems with Best Buy are very widespread.
As I posted before, I just walked into an AT&T store yesterday and bought a 32GB iPhone 4, no reservations. Others have reported doing the same. AT&T probably has fewer stores than Best Buy. And, from what I can tell, have smaller iPhone stock than Best Buy. Yet, they handled it much better.
All pre-orders were filled first. Then, walk-ups were allowed to buy. No employees were allowed to buy them, under any circumstance, for anyone, until the customers were taken care of first. Simple concept. Apparently, too simple for Best Buy to understand.

Why is Codename Kids Next door series 1-5 available to buy in United States Itunes but not United Kingdom Itunes?

I hope you can help me.
I purchase songs/programmes fro UK itunes store, and I am interested in buying the Codename Kids Next Door series. I have seen on the UK Itunes that Series 6 is available for purchase, but not any of the other series.
I am interested in buying them, so I hope you can tell me why series 6 is available for purchase but not the others?
Many Thanks

Because whomever owns the U.K. distribution rights to that series has not provided/allowed itunes to sell it yet.

I live almost next door to the exchange but only g...

If i throw a stone from my back garden i reckon i could hit the roof of the telephone exchange so that's how close i am to it, but my upload speed is only 36k and never higher.
i play a lot of online games and im always getting told by others that my connection is lagging and at times this gets me thrown out of some gaming rooms because people get annoyed at the delay in my updating to the game server. its most noticeable in sim racing games where i disappear from track then suddenly pop up in front of someone and this is very bad for all, and i need to get this sorted fast.
i use to have 56k upload at my old address and was along way from the exchange so my question is why is my upload speed so bad if im living next door to a exchange ??
my download speed is 510k
my upload speed is 36k
im on adsl with microfilters i use the bt accelerator and am plugged into the box by my front door so there is nothing more i can do.
When i joined bt i was told my line should be good for 9mb but ive never got 900k the best ive ever got was 614k so no idea where they get their info from.
is the UK really so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to internet connections?

When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names.

I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem. I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created. Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program. Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents?

I recently updated to the OSX 10.8.3 Operating Sistem. I am writing a book and now cannot open any word document I've created with the old system. Could not find a newer version of the Microsoft Word Processing Program. Is Pages the next thing? Can I recover my documents? How?

I'm in the same boat: new to OS X and Mac, and in the middle of a book. I switched because I heard about the the ease of using Mac, but so far, for me, it's been a nightmare. I bought 2011 Office Mac and hate everything about it, the most recent being the inability to open or cut or paste any of my original word files. I understand that this could have easily been done with earlier versions, but not Mountain Lion (which I learned is what OSX is.) Since I work with language, I am amazed at the assumptions of the Apple community. It helps to use common language and explain even the basics.
So all the helpful hints to use the latest version of Office Mac are to no avail. Now what?
