Thinking about upgrading to infinity but moving ma...

My master socket is upstairs currently and there is an extension that runs from that and the wire goes around the outside of the house and enters into the hallway. I was ideally hoping to get it all moved and ready for installation before even booking an installation appointment.
Would BT disable both the sockets and install a new master socket at the front of my house In a front room? A hole would need to be drilled through the wall then the new master socket connecting up?

Thanks for the response is that home wiring solution you speak of internal?
Because like I say I want the master socket moving to a front room which will require a hole drilling through the outside wall and the cable directing in (I don't really want extra wires running internally when all it needs is one wire running outside the house and then in). I have no need for the 2 sockets currently connected and would happily have them disconnecting so the new master socket would be the only socket in the house.
I doubt the infinity engineer would do this thats why I stated i'd have no problems getting this done beforehand but was just wondering if BT would do this for me and at what sort of cost. Think I was hoping someone on this forum had done something similar and could give me their impressions on this regarding cost etc.

  • Thinking about upgrades to new quantum but..still have eSata

    Hi.
    I'm thinking about upgrading to the new quantum boxes but I curently have about 20 shows on an external eSata that I just setup earlier this year.   I know theres no good way to pull off the shows but was wondering if theres any way to stop recording on the external and dwindle the shows off.
    any thougths are appreciated.
    Thx
    shaun

    My fisrt thought is to say to disconnect the esata drive unless you watch something.
    But then items will be recorded to the local drive that won't transfer either.
    So you either have to watch it all, or lose something when you migrate over.

  • HT1338 I currently have Snow Leopard and am thinking of upgrading to Lion but have heard some bad things about it.  Should I upgrade or not? What do you like/dislike about Lion?

    I currently have Snow Leopard and am thinking of upgrading to Lion but have heard some bad things about it.  Should I upgrade or not? What do you like/dislike about Lion?

    It is indeed all down to what you need to do with your machine.   Snow leopard is an excellent OS and as Baltwo suggests you have to check out your current apps and programs because PPC won't work on any higher OS than the one you have.
    Andy's comment is very interesting and, I suspect, insider knowledge based     Certainly I would wait for Mavericks now it is on the horizon ... and then add six months or so for the bugs to be ironed out.
    Good luck, whatever you do.   I'm staying with Snow Leopard.

  • Thinking about upgrading my Powerbook G4 hard disk to 160GB

    I am thinking about upgrading my powerbook G4 hard disk to 160GB, or even larger if possible...
    I have checked the macsales.com website and found this seagate 160GB, is it a good choice? Can anyone suggest a better deal or a better choice...?
    but I also notice one thing... it says that any powerbook model prior to 2003 might not support the any hard disk over 120G....
    So I am wondering is my powerbook G4 15inch 1.25GHz SuperDrive model able to have a 160GB hard drive...?
    Thanks a lot!!!!!

    The 1.25Ghz Powerbook came out in fall 2003, so if what MacSales says is true, then it should work.

  • I have a mac and am thinking about upgrading from snowlepard to lion , is it a good idea and hard to adapt to

    i have a mac and am thinking about upgrading from snowlepard to lion , is it a good idea and hard to adapt to

    This is my "About This Mac" ... it shows I have Intel i7 CPU.  If you are running SL, you at least have Intel, but would need at least Core2Duo an 2 GB (most people suggest 4 GB) RAM.
    If you want to run Lion, remember that the discussions in this forum from last summer when Lion first came out (and since) were highly charged at times.  Certain features that vanished or were added caused great heartache for some.  Others love Lion, though.  And some live with the changes waiting for any fixes they would desire.
    Any PPC (PowerPC) applications you depend upon will not work under Lion.  Use this page to see what applications will not run:  http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    AND
    Recall that you can clone your SL to an external disk to keep it safe.  Then you can "experiment with" the new OSX (Lion or ML) until you know it works for you while still having your old SL safe in case you need it.
    Good luck.

  • Thinking of upgrading to Yosemite -  but want to be able to downgrade to mountain lion - How?

    Thinking of upgrading to Yosemite -  but want to be able to downgrade to mountain lion - How?
    Hi all.
    I am wondering if I upgrade to Yosemite is there a way that I will be able to downgrade / revert back to mountain lion if I find out that too many of my most essential applications  are no longer working?
    I have read there have been compatibility issues  between some of my most necessary / favourite applications I use in mountain lion and Mavericks,  which is why I never upgraded to Mavericks.
    However , I am noticing in the app store there are a lot of apps I am interested in which I no longer able to purchase / download because they require Yosemite, and mountain lion is out-dated.
    However, if I upgrade my OS, I am afraid of incompatibility with the most important apps in my workflow though.
    Thanks.

    Hi Arthur thank you very much for your response.
    Sorry for my late reply.
    My following question is summed up in the last sentence of this post.
    [is only one time machine backup possible per external backup hard drive? Or can I make separate Time Machine backups for separate purposes?]
    I went ahead and installed Yosemite.
    There are some things I like about Yosemite and I might trial it for a little bit longer,
    but after a couple of days of trials and trying out, I've decided that I think I generally prefer mountain lion better,
    and I will reinstall it , and get a disk image of Yosemite and run that as a Virtual Machine when I need it.
    [^ This is what I should have done in the first place.]
    Before I installed Yosemite I [stupidly] used Time machine to back up only my application folders / application support / general system files,
    [I used system preferences to exclude everything else in the TM backup] so that I would not have to reinstall my applications / essential system structures.
    I did not back up the rest of my files and folders / whole machine though.
    I should have done this.
    I just didn't want to wait for about 800 gb of data to transfer [impatient].
    [in retrospect I should have run Yosemite through a virtual machine within Mountain Lion to see if I liked it before installing it completely].
    With Yosemite installed would I be able to make a SEPARATE time machine backup of all my files / documents / media folders in Time Machine on Yosemite, and use this to re-install these on Mountain lion if I downgrade ?
    Or is only one time machine backup possible per external backup hard drive ?
    Thanks.

  • I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27" display and a 42" LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best card?

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27” display and a 42” LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs or 1 dvi and 1 vga vs 1 dvi and a mini. I don't do a lot of Final Cut Pro, gaming, etc. I am interested in best value for the graphics card.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on the best graphics card for these larger displays for the best value?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I recommend you install nothing older than the Apple-firware 5770, about US$250.
    RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
    1) Apple brand cards,
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
    3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
    ... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
    1) Apple brand cards:
    • Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
    • Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
    • NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
    • NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
    3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
    • SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
    • EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
    The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

  • Thinking about upgrading.

    Hi. I've been using After Effects CS3 for a while now, as I just haven't had the funds to upgrade to CS4.
    I recently got my finances in order and am thinking about upgrading to CS5.
    Can someone briefly explain the differences between CS3 and CS5, and what sort of features CS5 offers?
    Thankyou.

    I use my mac book to dj. however, i tend to get the beach ball alot. is this due to lack of memory or is it something else. ive been thinking about getting more memory but i am not sure what the issue is...i would like some advice before i go and buy more memory if it is not needed... i also do not keep my music on my lap top

    Okay, so we've eliminated the lack of space since you have plenty.
    See the screenshot from my Mac here:
    Page ins and page outs - post those (or just post the same type of screenshot). If you have a lot of those, that means that your machine needs to keep swapping RAM around to make the best of what is available which can result in slow responses.
    Also post the total amount of RAM you have (in my case, I have 12 GB)
    You free RAM of 221 MB is very, very low - I'm guessing you only have a total of 2 GB. If that is the case, I would absolutely max out the machine (if you don't know how much RAM you can put in, post your model number here so we can help with that).

  • I am thinking about upgrading OS to Mavericks or Yosemite, but I do not know if my Adobe suites Elements 10 and Photoshop 10 are compatible. Adobe site does not contain this information anywhere.

    I should be very grateful if someone can confirm definitively whether Photoshop Elements 10, and Premiere Elements 10 would run on Mac OS Mavericks and Yosemite, to which I am thinking of upgrading to?  Thanks in advance

    The suggested Roaring Apps Table is not helpful. It shows both my Adobe Apps as compatible with all the latest Apple OS, except Snow Leopard, which is actually the App I currently use them with!! So this is clearly not accurate. I still need help with definitive answer. Any Adobe Staff out there?

  • Thinking about purchasing a Macbook, but I need some questions answered

    Hey everybody,
    I got a response to my Craigslist ad, so it's looking like selling my iMac G5 and buying a new Macbook might actually happen. My only problem is that I have some questions about what to do with my money. I'm not a power user, or someone who really plays games (other than my Nintendo emulators) so I already know that a Macbook is the right computer for me.
    (1) I don't have external storage, so how should I go about transferring my stuff? Buying the Macbook before selling my iMac is not an option because I just don't have that much money. I've read that some people buy the Macbook and then upgrade the HD, using the 60 Gig that comes with it as their external storage by buying a $20 case for it. I have about 50 GB taken up on my iMac, so I'm going to probably need around 100 GB at least. I know upgrading the memory doesn't, but does upgrading the HD void the warranty? Any brand recommendations for HD's? Heat and noise are very important to me. (7200 RPM is out)
    (2) I never really used the Superdrive on my iMac, but it was nice to know it was there. Is the performance difference from 1.83 to 2Ghz noticeable? I hear it's not, but I also read that under Rosetta it matters. Since Office isn't universal yet, I'd like to know. Can anyone verify this?
    (3) I read on MacOSRumors that Leopard is probably going to do some nice little graphic effects when it's released, and that the next revision of the Macbook Core Duo will probably still have integrated graphics. Since I don't plan on doing this again for at least another year, do you think the Intel graphics will be enough to keep up for a little while?
    (4) Anybody have some experience with selling a computer on Craigslist? I'm smart enough to request cash, local buyers only, and have them meet me at my house to try the computer out. Any advice on how to make sure this runs smoothly? I might end up leaving some things on the computer for the buyer. Anything that I should make sure to delete (i.e. preferences, passwords, etc.?) A checklist of what I should remember to do would really help.
    I think that about covers all of it...Thanks in advance.

    I sold my computer on Craigslist. No problems. I think it's only really dodgy if you are buying one from there - then you should be very careful!
    I'm not sure exactly the best way to go about deleting your stuff, but you have the right idea: get rid of your preferences and passwords, and your internet history as well.
    I'm not sure how to look at 'Keychain', but you might want to make sure that this is empty.
    In terms of processor speed, I can't help you: I have just got the 2Ghz, but partly because not having a DVD burner isn't an option for me. As file sizes and your storage needs increase, your need for a DVD burner will probably increase as well.
    Leopard is not far away now, and I would guess that Apple would make sure that their new OS will work adequately on their new computers. I would be surprised if there is much of a noticeable difference in anything but the most graphics heavy applications. Could be wrong about this, but I think that the basic GUI will perform well on any MacBook.
    In terms of moving info from your iMac... the cheapest thing apart from buying the MacBook before you sell is borrowing a HD or iPod from a friend. 50G isn't THAT much info, you could always burn it to DVD-Rs in a pinch.

  • I am thinking about upgrading my HTC Incredible to a Galaxy SIII

    I love my HTC camera, but constantly losing my 3g capability.  Think its just getting old.  I'm due for an upgrade.  Is the camera any good on this model?  I I saw a thread about poor signal strength.  I live in hills and use my cell for everything.  IS the signal really that poor?

    The camera is one of the best I have seen. As for 3G, A lot of them tend to have weeker/more unstable signal's VS most verizon phones. Mine is mostly fine, but there are users who say it's a big issue. So just test before you buy and if you have issues. Take it back, becuase most likely it's not going to fix itself.
    As for 3G signal in your area, I don't know if it's really that poor or not, but it may be a good idea to check. Becuase there are some places like WV were it's next to none out there. So just think about that as well.

  • Thinking about upgrading my os

    I was thinking of upgrading my macbook’s os to Leopard (not snow leopard) but I have a macbook intel os x 10.5 version so would my systembe eligible to upgrade? The reason for not going for Snow Leopard is because I have heard bad things about it (bugs, browser crashes, slower processing, etc.)

    If you have OS 10.5 that is already Leopard.
    If you mean you have a 10.5 disc it needs to be a retail copy and not a grey disc which are machine specific.
    Where did you here bad things about Snow Leopard. I think that any problems are usually due to running it without enough RAM.
    Good luck,

  • Exchange upgraded for Infinity, but online checker...

    Hi all, 
    not sure how simple this question is, but I'll ask it anyway as the online live chat with BT doesn't garner any useful info - they probably don't have it readily available. 
    I live in Fair Oak, and the exchange here, as well as Eastleigh, have been enabled for Infinity. Eastleigh is 2 miles down the road. My parents live in Eastleigh and they are able to get Infinity, but I'm not. The online checker states that it isn't rolled our here yet, but I know that Fair Oak exchange has been upgraded (again, another BT online checker states it has been completed already - as has Eastleigh)
    My question is this; how long after an exchange is upgraded are all numbers migrated to use the Infinity service? 
    Thanks
