No out of hours helpline now?

I lost my connection last night (red broadband light i.e. broadband ok but unable to connect). It sorted itself up in the end, and when it came back my speed was 20meg where it had been about 18 before so I guess it was connected with that. But while it wasn't working I was trying to ring support and I couldn't get any further than numbers that told me to ring back at 8am. Is this how it is now? How long has it been like that? Last time I had a problem, which is quite some time ago, I was able to access support at any time.

Using the built-in toolset, no, there's nothing that will really do this automatically as ConfigMgr has no way truly tracking which systems were and were not woken up and then correlating that with successful deployment execution. Not that is couldn't
be made to this with some extra design, development, and coding, but it simply doesn't.
You could though. Based on the compliance of a deployment, you could create a collection of systems where the deployment hasn't run (dynamic based on the compliance) and target a simple package (that doesn't do anything) but would trigger ConfigMgr
to send a OWL packet. This deployment would execute every night and the collection would contain systems that have not successfully completed any deployments you wish to push put this way.
Note that if the users aren't logging off at the end of the day though, you've pretty much got the same problems though.
Another way to handle this is to let the users known why going on using something like the PowerShell Deployment Toolkit on CodePlex.

Mountain Lion purchased from Mac store will not download. 'Downloading' simply stays greyed out for hours. Nothing I do changes it. I am running OS 10.6.8 on a 2010 Mac Mini. What do I do now?

If you are looking at the front page of the App Store and you are seeing the "downloading" message on the right under Quick Links.
Try this... Go into the "Purchases" section in the top bar of the App Store find ML in the list you are presented with. Does it say Resume? If so click the button and it will change to Pause. You may have paused it previously and forgot.
If not then do as Csound1 suggested and simply wait for it to finish

Updated to Adobe Muse 2014 this morning and have worked in it for the last 8 hours. Now when I try to publish the updated site to Business Catalyst for my client to preview it crashes everytime. I have tried just publishing altered files only, then tried the whole site again, and then tried publishing as a new site altogether. Thought I would then try to export as HTML in the hope of uploading the files via an FTP client and Muse crashes and locks up again. I am extremely stressed about this as I am in the last few days of of website I have been working on now with no issues since December. We are due to go live and my client needs to see it. I am desperate for an answer. It is not looking good. I am on an Apple Mac and have not had any isses publishing it for the last 6 months. Not very happy to say the least. Need desperate help.

Hi Zak, I got onto Adobe Customer Care Live Chat this morning and gave them the error message. After some trouble shooting with them it appears the older archived file of the site still publishes. I have now reverted back to the old file and copied and pasted out of the new file and from some ideas given to me by support I am now able to publish to Business Catalyst. It seems there was something corrupt within the new pages added yesterday. I have no idea if this would have still happened if I hadn't updated but I am glad it wasn't a Muse specific problem. I am loving using Muse and the support from Adobe has been excellent. Thanks everyone. By the way I do love the new version and apart from this hick up that lost me a few hours, aged me some more and gave me grey hair I really love Muse. Thanks again.

Get skype out of my outlook NOW!

Here's the deal:
I want skype OUT of my outlook account, i'm sick and tired of being logged on forever because of the MORON who had the sad ideia to link skype account to outlook account, and to make things more lame, skype and microcrapsoft don't allow me to contact them, but if i'm a company, suddenely, the "internet page" becomes avaible, instead of "not avaible now".
Skype is becoming more lame and privacy invader, i shut off the automatic USELESS updates, and it still comes to live to annoy the living heck out of me, and now, the crap outlook has skype built in?
What is next, you useless skype developers? Put gas prices, news and romantic movies built in too?
You deserve a facebook movement against the BS you have been throwing us with.
Rants aside, any ideia how to get rid of this lame issues made by morons at skype and microlamesoft?

The Internet connection speed that you obtain on your network will be limited by the plan that you have with your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
No device on your network will be able to make that connection go any faster.
If you need a faster Internet connection speed, you will need to speak to your ISP about a faster plan....at a higher price of course.
The AirPort is capable of providing far higher speeds than your ISP can ever hope to provide. Kind of like having a car that can go 400 miles an hour, but the speed limit is 40.

I change my password in my ipod about an hour but now i want to change it again and they won't recognize my old passwords. How do change my password without them asking for my old passwords? Also can i change it in iTunes?

On the iPod did you go to Settings>Store and sign out and then sign in with the new password?

App Deployment out of hours

Hi,
We are trying to set up our deployments in sccm 2012 to wake up pc out off hours to install software and for the most part this works, however the problem we have is that if for whatever reason a pc doesn't get woken up (no power plugged in, no network connectivity
etc) it will not get the software and will not be woken up again by system center. The only way we can make this happen is by changing the deployment available time or the install deadline, as this seems to trigger sccm to send out wake up packets again. The
problem we have with this is that all pc's will wake up again even though there is nothing to be installed on them, so potentially we would have 50 pc's wake up just so 1 or 2 pc's can install some software.
For example, we want to install java out of hours so we have a deployment targeting a "java installed" collection and the deployment is set to send wake up packets. We schedule it to be available at 11pm and the deadline to be as soon
as possible. When the app becomes available, system center will send out the wake up packets and any pc's that can wake up will wake up and install the software with out causing any hassle to our users. Now, some pc's won't wake up for whatever reason and
therefore won't install the software, the user will come in and turn there pc on as normal and then the computer agent will realise that it needs java and try and install it. This means that we could end up with error messages coming up because the user has
a browser window open or even worse the browser window could close unexpectedly and lose any work the user was doing. We can't have this happen so we would implement a maintenance window to stop this, now the problem would be that come the start of the maintenance
window that evening, the pc will be turned off but system center won't wake the machine up because the deadline has passed. We would also run into this problem when adding a new machine to the collection, wol won't work because the deadline has passed.
Is there something we are missing here as it seems the wol functionality in system center is very dum and doesn't recognise non compliant machines?
Thanks

How can Airport increase wifi speed when I am lucky to get 5mbps out of my modem now

Is the Airport a modem in its own right?

I participated in getting the free download of Mountain Lion for new Mac owners. It took me three days to finally get a code to do it and when I tried downloading it, the estimated time was 74 days 17 hours. Now an error occurred. What do I do?

I am very frustrated and just want the great software to download in a resonalbe time!

Take your Mac to a location with a fast, relaible Internet connection that will be all yours during the duration of the download.
If you want to complain, PLEASE call Apple and do so.
Internet only downloads of OS X is completely stupid, it assumes everyone has reliable Internet everywhere and /or no data caps.

Keynote 6 is compatible with Mavericks only, your profile states you are using Snow Leopard, if thats the case use Keynote version 5 and all will work as before.

I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. I can see the HD but the volume part is greyed out. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

There are other methodologies of scanning a HD
which involve data extraction, but loss of metadata is often the result if the directory is corrupt.
Metadata is the info on what the data IS.
Like having all your papers thrown in the air, its all there, but just a giant mess.
This is why you always always must have several external HD redundancies of your data. One isnt enough, neither is two really.
see here, and dont let that happen again>
Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection
Was that your only copy of your priceless data? Just that one external HD?

Did you fail to import them to your computer before restoring?
Not good.
They are likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

TS1702 i have erased my all phone contact list and then the message comes that it will be deleted with in an hour. but now my phone is not starting and only the apple logo appears on the screen. what should i do now..!

That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation. A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number. I suggest you turn iMessage off. In settings/phone turn on dial assist. Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage. Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

I had original iPhoto app from 2007, but in the last year it stopped working seemingly out of nowhere. Now I just installed iPhoto 9.5.1 but it won't open even after downloading the iPhoto Library Updater. My pictures are lost in the abyss.

Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts.
