Sky LLU broadband to BT Infinity move going wrong
Hi,
My parents place has been struggling along with 2mbit/sec Sky LLU broadband for ages. I saw that there was a decent deal going for the tv/broadband/phone so helped them order it. Booked the engineer for the 17th December.
They've now been told there is a delay with the order and they need a 'cease date' off Sky and the order may be delayed.
As far as I understand from LLU to BTwholesale FTTC does not require a MAC code or anything else. BT are in the driving seat and it is up to us to tell Sky we don't want to do anything.
Can someone see what has went wrong here? I'll be really annoyed if they miss that 17th date because I dobut there are any more appointments until after NY now, which will leave them without TV over Christmas (cancelled the TV to line up roughly with that date).
Hi martinald,
Thanks for your post.
Have you been notified about this order yet? If you need my help please send me in your details using the "Contact The Mods" link found in my profile.

Hi all
I'm looking to move from Sky LLU unlimited to BT Fibre, just wanted to know If I'd require a MAC code or does this only apply when moving between LLU products?
also wondered whether I should migrate my BB to BT first and then upgrade to fibre or can i just migrate to fibre?
thanks in advance.I would get your MAC as BT will ask for even if they don't use/need it. I would also go straight for infinity because as anew customer you will get a better deal

Is it possible to download a film using Sky By Broadband to my laptop and view it on my TV using Apple TV?
Is it possible to download a film using Sky By Broadband to my laptop and view it on my TV using Apple TV?
The answer is no.
Sky by Broadband uses Windows Media Player DRM which has never been supported on the Mac even before Microsoft discontinued Windows Media Player. It also uses the Kontiki peer-to-peer system for actually transferring (downloading) the files. This also as far as I am aware has never been ported to the Mac.
Even if you use a real PC or Boot Camp to successfully get the files on to a computer, because of the DRM you cannot copy, save, convert or do anything to them.
Unfortunately, the morons at the BBC (iPlayer), and Channel 4 (4oD) have chosen to use the exact same ghastly software.
Currently the BBC iPlayer is Windows only (because it is using Windows Media Player DRM and Kontiki peer-to-peer) but the BBC Trust have told the BBC they must provide a Mac solution (and Linux). While no timescale has been set (the BBC are not going to rush in to it until they can find an equally ghastly DRM solution for Mac), my guess would be one of the three following possibilities
1. Microsoft Silverlight. A version (playback only) of this complete with new equally ghastly DRM has been released by Microsoft for Mac (as a token gesture).
2. Adobe Media Player is an expansion of Flash with its own DRM and like Flash should be available for both Mac and Windows.
3. Real Player. Apparently even on a Mac Real do support using their own DRM, however so few people use Real Player (on a Mac) I have never some across an example of this.
Unfortunately because of the DRM all three of the above are infested with, none of them can be used with QuickTime, iTunes, iPod, iPhone, or AppleTV.
When are these idiots going to realise like the far more intelligent Steve Jobs that
i. DRM only inconveniences legal customers and not pirates
ii. DRM (including that in Windows Media Player, HD-DVD, and Blu-Ray), can be broken, indeed already has been broken, and always will be broken.
Note: I have installed and looked at Sky by Broadband, but it was such an unpleasant experience, with such a poor selection of programmes that I have not actually bothered to download a single programme using it. -
When I download a movie I bought on my iPad onto my iPhone it downloads completely but doesn't show up in my videos, what is going wrong?
Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!

4/30/2011. Can you please help me. I have an iBook G4 with Leopard OS 10.5 and latest Safari updates and maximum Ram (512 or 640 kb). Yet how do I correct Website movies going flow-pause-flow-pause-flow etc? The problem is with the iBook, not the website and movies. Thank you. Chuck Y Chicago
5/2/2011. Thank you all for your replies. My iBook is in the third group of the website you referred me to. I bought it July 5, 2004 at CDW near here. It had OS 10.3.6. 1GB (GHz. Power PC G4.), opaque white case. Its screen is 14.1 inches. Soon after I bought it I had its 128 RAM raised to 640 RAM, to work with maximum capability for converting VCR recorded videos/movie into digital files and burning these onto DVDs. Later I had an Airport card installed. As time passed I opened the apple icon (upper left hand corner of the screen), and Softwate Update, and eventually had this install OS 10.5.8. At first It could only be updated to OS 10.4. But then after several years I bought Leopard OS 10.5.8 from the Apple store near here. By then Leopard had been adapted to work on iBook G4. Its specifications are described with the same Apple icon and About this Mac.
It will play You Tube and similar websites OK. But videos/movies from websites such as hulu.com, ABC, CBS and so on, it displays a pattern of flow-pause-flow-pause-flow-pause-flow and so on.
I thought first to see if this forum would have any suggestions.
I think probably that its CPU has reached its limit; later Mac laptops have greater CPUs.
Many thanks to you all. C Yopst Chicago -
SWF movie goes blank at frame 17
Ok,
I record a little movie about 378K of .swf ( it was a 1
megabyte cap project file ).
The little movie plays back fine.
I take this animaiton and put it in my main capitvate project
file ( about the same size ).
U publish my main project,
I run the output , when i get to the slide where i start
playing my little movie my little
movie goes blank at slide 17-- always that number.
I had this happen yesterday on a different movie.
I am using auto-recording and basically capturing unziping a
file. No audio
Any pointers appreciated,
JamesJames, you are probably not allowing enough time for the
sub-movie to complete play - on the slide you have it placed on in
the main-movie.
Check required time for the sub-movie (View > Bandwidth),
then give it at least that much time on the slide timeline in the
main movie and see if that helps.

Movie goes on longer than the clips, help!
I moved around a title that i have at the end of the movie and now the total time of the movie is longer than any of the video/audio clips in it. All the clips end at about 5 minutes but the movie goes on for about 5:45, how do i fix this so i can share the movie nicely?
Thanks.
PowerBook G4 15" Logic Pro 7Nevermind, i figured it out. I just switched to clip viewer and deleted the black clip that was the extra space at the end.

Ihave iphone5c. Does not permanently delete emails showing in inbox. When they are move to Trash then inbox at first shows empty. However if you leave Mailbox and return then all the emails that were previously deleted and now repopulated in Inbox. I have tried various things like marking them "read" before deleting, then moving them to Trash, and they still return. What is going wrong and how do I fix the problem?
What your describing sounds lot like Nortons anti virus, but other do it to.
Multiple copies of the same email over and over are almost always anti virus incoming mail scanning. Turn off scanning and the problem goes away turn it back on and it resumes.
My guess is that your filter issues, and search problems are also related to this uniquitous and most ignored security tool that messes up far more than it should..
Deleting the index
I assume you mean the global-messages-db.sqlite. if you don't close Thunderbird and delete it now. Searches will be incomplete until it rebuilds and the time to do that will have a lot to do with how much mail there is and how busy the computer is.
Now create an exclusion in your anti virus program for the Thunderbird profile folders. My guess is it is trying to scan the files in your profile every time Thunderbird tries to open them and generally turning things into a tug of war, which Thunderbird looses as it just does not wait around if files are locked. It expects exclusive access to it's files immediately, not in 10 minutes when the anti virus has done it's thing. So things get added to the index but not removed. Mails don't move as the destination or source file is "in use" etc. -
Flash graphics glitch with alpha transparencies: any ideas what could be going wrong?
Hey folks, this forum has found me loads of answers in the
past through various searches but now it's time for me to enquire
about something myself...
Here's a bit of graphics I'm going to be using as part of a
larger project:
http://www.stucox.co.uk/file_dump/LogoGlitch.html
You'll see that as the mask for the logo at the top seems to
bite a chunk out of the mask on the arrows below (they've got an
alpha mask on them to make them fade towards the top)... this is
just a graphics glitch as if you get it to redraw that frame, it
redraws fine.
What could cause this? it's almost as if the two masks (the
one on the logo and the one on the arrows) are adding/subtracting
together, even though they're in totally different layers of
heirarchy, have different instance names, etc
I know that the issue is the masks as if i disable either one
or the other, it renders fine. I've also noticed similar things in
other areas of my graphics with two coinciding masks causing
glitches.
The one solution I've found (short of removing my
transparency, but I want to keep that as part of the design!) is to
make the movieclip containing all of the arrows to move very slowly
(at least one pixel per frame seems to do it), which seems to stop
the glitching - no idea why, other than that it might be forcing it
to redraw properly?
I've tried playing around with the bitmap caching on just
about every movie clip in the movie and all sorts...
Any thoughts?Thanks for the reply, sorry it's taken me a while to get back
on.
This is all going to be over the top of a bitmap background.
No, you're right - this doesn't come anywhere near 10 alpha layers.
The arrows are just bezier shapes I've drawn myself.
And yeah, I can't really afford to make it low quality (I
think the only reason that works is it then ignores alpha
transparency), this is all going to be an "impressive" minsite for
a big clubbing event in London!
Obviously I can just tone down some of the animation a bit -
make the arrows part of the bitmap background rather than tweening
them on screen etc, but I'd really like to understand what's going
wrong here to try and avoid it in the future! -
I accidently replaced a file with another. Can I undo my action?
I had two files named graphics. One was on my desktop and another was within another file called solitarie. I move the one on my desktop (wrong file) into the solitarie file and was asked if I wanted to replace the graphics file in the solitarie folder (the correct one). I said yes accidently and then remembered that I had made a mistake. If I use undo, it only move the wrong file back to the desktop. Is there an undo of replace?Sorry, but's that's why you get the warning. "Replace" means just that - the new file over-writes the old one. There is no undo.

Upgrading to iPhoto '08 - what's going wrong with my iphoto Library
Hi,
I would appreciate your advice/knowledge on this problem.
==> Short Description of my problem:
I can't recover the keywords associated with my pictures. I am asked to import my pictures although I choose to open my previous iPhoto Library after converting to iPhoto 08.
==> What I did:
1. I recently upgraded my mac to Leopard, and then to iPhoto'08. When opening for the 1st time iPhoto '08, I selected my iPhoto Library (as I held the option key while opening iPhoto).
2. I then get the message: “The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library.” I clicked on the "Upgrade" button
3. My Mac then loaded/created ALL my previous albums and smart albums (including the most recent ones). It loaded pictures up to April 2005. BUT then, it prompted me with the following message : "5584 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that are not a part of this photo library. Would you like to import them?". I was surprised to get this message, as I read that the upgrade should run smoothly.
4. I made two tests, following this prompt. First, I answered "YES". I ended with a 24.5 GB iPhoto Library (instead of my previous 12.64 GB library). Then, while repeating steps 2&3, I answered No. I then decided to import manually my missing pictures, and ended up with a 14,4 GB (surprisingly, I got events called originals that contained same pictures than other created events). I have repeated the steps 2 to 4 from a new user account, but got the same results.
5. None of these solutions are satisfactory as I had assigned keywords to my 5000+ photo. What is going wrong? Here is the content of my iPhoto Library (before conversion), if this is of any help:
In my iPhoto Library Oct 23, 2007:
folder 2000 Oct 18, 2007
folder 2004 Feb 13, 2005
folder 2005 Jan 29, 2006
folder 2006 Jan 7, 2007
folder 2007 Oct 23, 2007
AlbumData.xml Apr 17, 2005
folder Album Nov 11, 2007
Dir.data Apr 9, 2005
iPod Photo cache Nov 11, 2006
iPhoto.db Apr 17, 2005
Library.iPhoto Apr 9, 2005
Thumb32.data Apr 9, 2005
Thumb64.data Apr 9, 2005
ThumbJPG Apr 9, 2005
This library is an external-drive backup copy of my HD photo library (that no longer exists).
==> What to do next?
1. How to check if my keywords information is still present in my original iPhoto library? Is there any solution to get back my photo with their keywords?
2. Manage my iPhoto library with a smaller quantity of pictures, to ease backup and conversion. I have understood that iPhoto Libray Manager is a convenient free software to merge/de-merge libraries. Is that correct?
Thanks for your help,
NicolasNicoSou
This sounds to me like your v5 library is corrupted.
Try using the rebuild command from iPhoto Library Manager to recreate the library - it won't get everything, but should get albums and keywords. Read the iPhoto Library Manager Help for more details.

I have an iPhone 4 and a 4th gen iPod linked to the same email address and apple ID. I am trying to change the email address on the iPod so a family member can use it but when I do it says it doesn't recognize the email address. Where am I going wrong ? I just want them to be able to iMessage and email without having to use my email address.
The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.
