No compensation for BT fault and loss of service??...

Hi All,
I have been with BT for years and years now and to be honest havent had that many problems with them.....except now!
Friday 15th June 2012 I called home from my mobile to be greeted with the message that the line was in use and could try later (something along those lines). I immediatly knew something was wrong as no one was at home to be on the phone. I continued to try to ring home through the afternoon to be greeted with the same message. When I arrived home that evening I tried to call the line again from my mobile whilst standing in front of the phone to get the same message. When I picked the phone up, there was a dead tone, no dial tone nothing. My first thought was that the phone, which had now started to have seen better days, was in need of being replaced. Unfortunatly as I didnt get paid for another week I had no option but to wait until I could buy a new handset, luckily I had my mobile for emergencies. On 26th June, I brought a new handset through the BT shop. When it arrived the next day I charged it for a bit then plugged it in...nothing!. Still no dial tone or working handset. I called BT faults dept to report the phone. The man went through the basics with me and was adamant there was no fault showing on the line check. After me having to advise I have done all the checks AND brought a new handset did he agree to send an engineer round to the house. This was only after telling me that if the fault did lay with me I would br charged £99. The engineer was booked for Saturday 30th June. The engineer came (out of his time slot) and wow what a miserable engineer he was. As I have not long paid to have my house re carpeted, I advised him that he would either have to remove his work boots or put the blue overalls over the soles. He had a good old moan about it before he went and changed his work boots to slip on shoes to remove when entering the house again. I advised the engineer what was the query and he tested the box on the wall. He advised that the line was showing as working fine and it was strange that I had no telephone service but I had working internet. He then did some other stuff and told me the line fault was was at the exchange and would need a specialist engineer to look at it. He said he would go and have a look at the green cab across the road and contact me on my mobile to let me know what was happening. I never did receive a call so waited in for an hour not knowing if I should leave the house or not.
After looking at the fault tracking online on the Monday it stated the fault should have been resolved on Saturday 30th. This clearly was the case. Through the week, it took me 6 phone calls to find out what was happening re my line and when it would be working. I was advised by a manager that she was looking after the query and she would be updating me through the time the line was not in service........never did I get 1 call to advise me what was going on.
Eventually on Thursday 5th July the phone was fixed and I was able to use it again. On Thursday evening, I called BT faults line to find out about compensation as I had been out of service for nearly 3 weeks. The man on the line advised that he would refund me back the cost of the line rental as compensation. I advised that this would not be acceptable as I should be refunded that anyway for loss of the line not working, Im not paying for something I cant use. I said I wasnt happy and wanted to speak to a manager. The man went away and got his manager who advised that the most he could offer as compensation was £10. I told him that I found that a joke as for 3 weeks I had had no service, had purchased a new phone, used my mobile and used my time to chase up a fault. I declined the offer of £10 and said I would contact Head Office. On Friday 6th July 2012 I emailed the high level complaints team and as of today have had no response.......Im absolutly disgusted at this. I would like for someone to look into this matter and contact me back as a matter of urgency in regards to a sensible offer of compensation.
I look forward to hearing from someone soon!
Kind Regards

Hi Kenneth
Usualy we take the strongest measures to avoid that and never let it come to that. You should of had back up's running on and off site. How bad is your problem?? I'm assuming you are talking abou a hard drive that is faulty. Have you tried restarting in Safe Mode??
You get experts that can retrieve data from a hard drive depending how bad the problem is. It usualy cost more than the Hard drive......but if you are desperate and value your data you'll do it.
Hope this helps

Simple question; Mac Server Setup for Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.

Hi Guys;
I'm new to the Mac Server world and need a few questions answered.
I have purchased a new Mac mini Server for hosting File, Web, Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.
I’m comfortable setting up File and Web Services however I’m a bit uneasy setting up Mail, iCal and Address Book services to be access locally and remotely(via the internet).
My current setup is;
Internet connection (Dynamic IP) -> Router -> Mac mini Server.
I have purchased a domain name (Thornton-net.com) from DynDns.com + a custom DNS service as I can setup my router to update my domain’s IP address automatically.
I can access File and Web Services remotely (thortnon-net.com) perfectly without any issues via the Port Forwarding feature of the Router.
If I setup Mail, iCal and Address Book Services -> will Mail, iCal and Address Book clients be able to access these services hosted by the server via Thornton-net.com?

Welcome to the forums.
For mail services (and specifically for your outbound mail to be accepted by other mail servers) your mail server needs to have a static IP address and matching forward and reverse and MX records, or a tunnel to a static IP (with matching DNS), or you need another mail server where you have an authorized relay. Without that, your mail will be considered a spam engine, and dropped.
Additionally, your particular tier of service with your ISP (with a static IP) will generally allow server-oriented access and server-oriented network traffic, where a residential or other tier of service (with a dynamic IP addresses) can be firewalled.
The ISP controls the "high ground" of the network connections here, so you pretty much get to play by their rules and requirements. If they don't offer static IP, then (presuming their T&Cs permit it) you get to tunnel (via IPv6, for instance) to a tunnel broker, and receive your network traffic via that (and with matching DNS) point of presence. That could well be a tunnel for your mail at whichever your DNS provider is here, because you'll have issues with your dynamic address. (You get to sort out if they offer that.)
Far and away the easiest approach (if you want to host this stuff yourself) is to work with the ISP. They're inherently involved in your network, and they and they alone have full control over your reverse DNS configuration.

Lack of support for broadband fault and now v+ box...

Am I the only one to think that bt no longer give customer support like they used to? I have had tv bb and phone for over 18 months but in the last 8 weeks the bb you have to reset the hub everytime you want to go online and now the v+ box keeps giving error codes and crashing at random times in the last 3 days. Here are the times and the fault if anyone can help me that would be great. I am losing the will to go on with this now as they just tell me to reset the hub so they can run a line check then say everything is fine, but anywhere between ten minutes and a couple of hours can pass and it goes off again.Plleeeaaasseee help! Surely under the Sale of Goods act 1979 which states that the item purchased has to be as described, of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose they are responsible to fix this problem ???????????

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio and (Wcf) Web Services

I´m evaluating Crystal reports for Visual Studio 2010. I want to read data from a (Wcf) Webservice into the predefined Reports and deliver them to the Users in an ASP.NET Application. As far as I see reading Webservices via the XML/Webservice datasource works good in the Crystal Reports 2011 Applications - But I have Problems with the Integration of the XML/Webservice datasource in the CRVS2010 Environment.
I read your Article on sdn: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/13732
which helped us to enable the XML Datasource in the CRVS2010 environment on a Machine where Crystal Reports 2011 and VS2010 is installed, but this required copying DLL´s and installing the JRE.
But I´m not able to run the XML/Webservices datasource on a webserver in a ASP.NET Application where Crystal Reports 2011 is not installed (only the runtime) - the above post doesn´t help because the path structure is completely different on my machine. Is there a manual, which helps me to enable the XML datasoucre and the CRVS2010 runtime ?
I´m not sure if reading XML is the best practice for a new Project, especially after reading your article at http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1952093
I´m now evaluating ADO.NET XML as mentioned in your article, but I´m not sure if this is the right decision.
Is there a a new version for Visual Studio 2010 of the u2022csharp_web_adonet.zip example ?
BTW: All examples in the Sample Code for Crystal reports for Visual Studio 2010 reference Assemblies in Version 14, which are not present on my machine. I had to find/replave 14 through 13, before they are compilable. Did I made a mistake during installation ?

Hi Henrik,
First of all you didn't make any mistake installing CRVS2010. It has assemblies with version 13.x
Now as far as patches are concerned ensure that you are on SP2. You can get runtime and patch from following:

You can opt for AD.NET as one of the datasource but what is the error/ warning you get when you use Web Serive as datasource?
You can find the latest samples created for CR2008 here

If i purchase Adobe Photography for 9.99 and I stop service a year later, would I lose my Lightroom program?

I currently have LR 3, and instead of just buying the upgrade I am considering buying the package of LR and PS for 9.99 a month. What if in 6 months or a year or longer, that I decide I must discontinue my monthly payments. Does that mean the versions of lightroom that I have on my computer will end in a period of time? For example I have paid maybe 120.00 over a years time so would I keep the version of LR I have to continue to use without updates?

What Michael said: What happens to Lightroom after my membership ends?
Lightroom 5 Cloud version can still be launched with limited features which effectively make it a viewer only.
"...at the end of a membership, the desktop application will continue to launch and provide access to the photographs managed within Lightroom as well as the Slideshow, Web, Book or Print creations that we know many photographers painstakingly create. The Develop and Map modules have been disabled in order to signal the end of the membership and the need to renew in order to receive Adobe’s continuous innovation in those areas. Access to Lightroom mobile workflows will also cease to function."

Got charged full retail for a new phone instead of Edge Up, wiped out bank account, had to refuse shipment, no compensation for the time spent talking to 14 representatives over the phone in the last week, and still no refund??

On 9/29 I ordered an iPhone 6 Plus 128GB as an edge up from my 5S, swiped my card at the store to pay the Edge Up fee, and was told 10/31 was the expected ship date.
Didn't see the order on my My Verizon account, spoke with 3 representatives on the phone to actually get the order number so I could track it.
On 10/24 the ship date disappeared and I called to find out there was an issue with the payment. I gave them my debit card number over the phone for the Edge Up amount, and they charged me full retail -- OVER $1,000.
They promised it wouldn't post to my account and it wouldn't ship after cancelling the order. Next day it shipped. I called FedEx and refused the package over the phone.
I called when the payment posted the next day, totally wiping out my bank account and charging me overdraft fees.
They said they'd push for a refund immediately -- on Sunday, 10/24. It's now 10/30, I see no refund, I have no phone, and I have over $100 in bank fees from their mistake.
I spoke with a supervisor on the phone and they said they could refund the bank fees, but would do nothing for the fact that they screwed up my order, and told me it would be another 2-3 weeks before they actually ship a phone to me if I ordered today.
Sorry, but that's NOT good customer service. I can buy out my Edge agreement, sell the phone on eBay, and go to another carrier pretty easily. I don't want to leave Verizon's service, but I don't really see how they value me as a customer?
Does anyone else have some idea of what I could do about this whole thing??
TL;DR -- Verizon charged full retail for a phone instead of Edge Up fee, still no refund, no compensation for the inconvenience and stress they caused, and another 2-3 week wait on a phone I ordered a month ago.

That situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly. Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled. I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned. Sorry this happened the way it did. Definitely not efficient.

App Management and Subscription Settings service applications

Hi,
I am upgradind SharePoint 2010 services to SharePoint 2013. I have updated UPS, Metadata, Search, Secure Store and now I want to configure App Management and Subscription Settings service applications.
For all upgraded services I used default IIS pool: 'SharePoint Web Services default'. But now I see that for App Management and Subscription Settings service Mifrosoft uses new iis pools in the configuration guide:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161236(v=office.15).aspx
Could you please advise if I can use defaulf pool 'SharePoint Web Services default' to configure App Management and Subscription Settings service applications?
If not can I use one pool for both services or should I use separate pool for each service?
Thanks

You cannot move the STS. Also, certain SAs right farm admin rights. If the farm will leverage those SAs, I'd encourage you to create a new App Pool for just those SAs, rather than re-use "SharePoint Web Services Default" (to prevent these SAs from
running under the Farm Admin).

Claim compensation for Apple's product and service

My iphone 4S can't power up, I send it to depot detection,
It takes me nearly one month, from Jan 27th until now.
I can't use phone for one month, and my data on the phone is gone.
I bought the iphone only for 4 months.
Can I claim compensation?

Yes, Apple did tell me that when I request service, the data is gone.
But did you think about that? how can I do?
Not repair it? It's not my fault that the phone can't power up.
Why should I take responsibility for this?
I was not given a phone to use for nearly one month, the reason is that there's no phone left.
Why can't I claim compensation for my loss?

Compensation for loss of Internet

Do BT offer compensation for loss of your Internet conection if the fault is on their network, if so how many days loss of internet service is the minimum you can claim for, and do you actually have to file a claim or is this done automatically ? tia.

Not for Residential Broadband customers, only Business ones.
You can claim back daily line rental charges. See Customer service guarantee
You would have to prove actual financial loss, but that would only apply to a business, which you are not allowed to operate on a residential broadband line.

WLSE Fault: Appeared Up: Compensated for

Hello,
I'm running WLSE 2.13 and I'm having this fault many times in many different APs:
"Appeared Up: Compensated for by 11 radio(s)"
I connect to the AP and there's nothing unusual. What could be happening?

This only happens when self healing has been applied.
And remember that self Healing modifies only the power setting, and not the channel frequency or beacon interval of the neighboring APs.
The indicated radio appeared up or down on this AP, so other radios were modified to maintain coverage.
After self healing has been applied to the other AP, this fault indicates the radio that had the failure.
If self healing is configured to automatically apply changes, then these are the values that were applied. You can select the document with the eyeglasses in the faults page of that particular fault. A list of radios with the old and new power settings is displayed. These radios can compensate for the downed or recovered radio.
Check out this doc for more info: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/cscowork/ps3915/products_user_guide_chapter09186a008052dba5.html

I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and want to get more information about the compensation for "Reference Signal Processing", which is scarce in the manuals, the website and the examples installed with the toolkit.

I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and want to get more information about the compensation for "Reference Signal Processing", which is scarce in the manuals, the website and the examples installed with the toolkit.
In particular, I am analyzing the example "Even Angle Reference Signal Processing (Digital Tacho, DAQmx).vi", whose documentation I am reproducing in the following:
DESCRIPTIONS:
This VI demonstrates how to extract even angle reference signals and remove the slow-roll errors. It uses DAQmx VIs to acquire sound or vibration signals and a digital tachometer signal. This VI includes a two-step process: acquire data at low rotational speed to extract even angle reference; use the even angle reference to remove the errors in the vibration signal acquired at normal operation.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Run the VI.
2. On the DAQ Configurations tab, specify the sample rate, samples per channel, device and channel configurations, and tachometer channel information.
NOTE: You need to use DSA PXI-447x/PXI-446x and PXI TIO device in a PXI chassis to run this example. The DSA device must be in slot 2 of the PXI chassis.
3. Switch to Extract Even Angle Reference tab. Specify the number of samples to acquire and the # of revs in reference which determines the number of samples in even angle reference. Click Start to take a one-shot data acquisition of the vibration and tachometer signals. After the acquisition, you can see the extracted even angle references in Even Angle Reference.
4. Switch to the Remove Slow-roll Errors tab. Click Start to acquire data continuously and view the compensate results. Click Stop in this tab to stop the acquisition.
ORDER ANALYSIS VIs USED IN THIS EXAMPLE:
1. SVL Scale Voltage to EU.vi
2. OAT Digital Tacho Process.vi
3. OAT Get Even Angle Reference.vi
4. OAT Convert to Even Angle Signal.vi
5. OAT Compensate Even Angle Signal.vi
My question is: How is the synchronization produced at the time of the compensation ? How is it possible to eliminate the errors in a synchronized fashion with respect to the surface of the shaft bearing in mind that I am acquired data at a low rotation speed in order to get the "even angle reference" and then I use it to remove the errors in the vibration signal acquired at normal operation. In this application both operations are made in different acquisitions, therefore the reference of the correction signal is lost. Is it simply compensated without synchronizing ?
Our application is based on FPGA and we need to clarity those aspects before implementing the procedure.
Solved!

I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.4. The DVD player does not have a feature to store film clips. Why? This is useful for my work and I had it on my older computer? Why the loss of capacity?

I cannot recall the DVD player ever being a place to "store" videos - it is simply an app to play videos.
If your machine is new, then iMovie should be included as the "shrunk" version of iLife is included with Lion (iMovie, Garageband, and iPhoto). However, iMovie is not a place to store videos either - it is a video editor. You import your clips and edit them in order to then burn to a DVD or share via a social media site.
Have you considered simply dragging the clips to your folder "Movies"? That would be a great place to just store them (please be aware that videos are usually large files, so keep your hard drive space in mind so you keep a minimum free and available for the OS to operate properly):

No compensation for BT fault and loss of service??...
