I'm thinking of upgrading from ADSL to Infinity to get fibre TV. At the moment I have:
* Unlimited ADSL 17Mb + Evening/Weekend Calls for approx £11.50/month
The website upgrade for existing customers is £33 for Entertainment Plus + Unlimited BT Infinity 1 + Weekend Calls.
However for new customers, it states a 'CELEBRATION DEAL ENDS 18TH JUNE', in which this is reduced to £22.50.
Is there any way that existing customers can get these deals, or are we just stuck with the expensive route?

there is no way you can get the deals available to new customers - many have tried without success.

How can I be sure that changing from ADSL to Infin...

Hi,
I would like to upgrade from ADSL to Infinity, but I am not convinced there will be any real benefit to me and BT are not being helpful.
I am currently with Talk Talk and consistently get between 19.5 and 20 meg sync speeds. I don't know where my street cabinet is or where an associated FTTC might be. In view of my proximity to the exchange, there may not even be a street cabinet?
By road, the distance to the exchange, depending on the route, could be anywhere between 0.75km and 1.5km and the cable will doubtless be longer.
I tried to ask a technical question through the BT website, all that did was get a sales person to call me to sign me up to the 56/78 package that I wanted. She could only say that I ***should*** be able to get those speeds and if BT couldn't deliver the service, I could cancel.
That's not a great comfort, as I would have cancelled my existing contract with TT and have the hassle of get transferred back.
Based on my reading of the OFCOM FTTC speed comparison chart, at either of the distances that I mentioned, Infinity would be slower than ADSL!
Is there any way that I can get more assurance that I will see a speed increase before I change suppliers?
How can I accurately find out the cable distance between my house and street cabinet /exchange?
Regards
Dave

Hi again,
If your current ISP offers FTTC check what speed you could get from them. BT is likely to be very similar, as all ISP's share the same infrastructure.
A big part of the desire to change to BT is the included BT Sports package, if it were not for that, I would probably stick with my existing ISP. (Attracting other ISP customers is reason that BT offer free Sports I suppose.)I'm sure it probably is for new custoemrs but double check that is free. I had it free last year. Someone rang my wife and asked if I wanted it free agin for another year. Quite reasonably she said "yes". A few days later I was told it was going to cost me £3 per month.
I am in Aberdeenshire, but we are in one of the suburbs of Aberdeen, so, our address (Cults) is classed as Aberdeen City. The exchange is NSBDS,
I asked about the county as I know a little about the BDUK schemes in England but I'm afraid I know nothing about Scotland - sorry

Thinking bout upgrading from imovie

So im thinking about upgrading from imovie. What do you think some good reasons for doing so are. Im wanting to be able to have mulitple movie tracks. Also, are there better transitions and effects in FCE? Is there a way to do a Four Corner type PIP with different video in each corner? Let me know what the big selling points were for you.
thanks

Hi(Bonjour)!
That's depend of your projects and needs.
FCE is the swiss army knive of video editing and iMovie is the fisher-price.
FCE needs many much more time to master, it's less automated, it had less "canned" transitions, it's a totally different way of editing than iMovie, but you can build almost anything you want... if you master it.
A good hammer is nothing without a good carpenter and an hammer is too much heavy to plant a needle.
Be prepare to follow a steep learning curve, but you'll get reward if you persist.
FCE is the Final Cut Pro's little brother: once your master it, you will be at home in FCP if you upgrade.
Yes you can do 4 corners PIP if you want, and remember that in FCE there are many ways to achieve one goal.
This forum is full of switchers from iMovie to FCE and generally they stay with FCE after the switch.

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.

I'm thinking of upgrading from 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this? What are the implications / consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware?

I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. I know, I'm years behind, but it has become a necessity. My Mac is becoming slow and is incompatible with many softwares and websites. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this upgrade? What are the implications and/or consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware? Are there any precautions I should take before the installation? I have read some posts about Macs slowing right down after installing Yosemite. Any insights and information (in layman's terms please!) would be very useful. Thanks.

Huge thanks for your response Michel. I apologise for the delay in getting back to you. I have done as you suggested, the details are pasted below. Clearly there are some applications I need to remove and no doubt my HD could do with a 'spring clean'. My Mac 'Safe Booted' when I turned it on this morning.
I use many different softwares, some web-based. The decision to upgrade to OSX Yosemite is because I was unable to attend a Webinar this week using GoToMeeting downloadable software. GoToMeeting have upgraded their system and my OS is no longer supported. Other websites like VImeo no longer support my version of Safari. I tend to use Chrome if Safari isn't compatible.
Problem description:
I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. However I have noticed that my MacBook Pro becoming ‘slow’ over the last 3 weeks and therefore might have some issues that need to be resolved before I even consider installing OSX Yosemite. Over the last week my Mac has Safe Booted on three occasions, so clearly there’s a ‘glitch’ occurring.

Thinking of upgrading from my macbook to macbook pro just can't decide on the 15in or 17in, any suggestions

I am thinking about upgrading my macbook to a macbook pro, any suggestions on whether or not I should get the 15in or the 17in.

I got the 17" anti-glare high res and simply loving the heck out of it.
I can see the screen in sharp perfect detail in just about any environment with no reflections on the screen.
It displays 1080i (1920 x 1000) video in full resolution on it's 1920 x 1200 pixel screen.
Contrary it's much thinner than many 17" PC's of the same size and even less thinner than my previous 15" MacBookPro!
I got the 2.3 ghz model with the awesomely fast Radeon 6750M in it, I can even play 3D games in Windows in a virtual machine OS in OS X! A real sweet machine.
The performance of the 2.2 and the 2.3 ghz 15" and 17" MacBook Pro are just about the same.
The performace of the 2.0 Ghz 15" is less due to it's less than stellar video card. I would avoid this model.
The 13" is all integrated graphics, no 3D gaming or heavy video use, I would avoid it as well unless you don't have a need for heavy duty graphics.
Some people get a expensive workhorse machine like the 15" or 17" and then carry around a iPad or a very cheap Windows or even more secure Linux netbook for on the go purposes.
In this sour economy I get nothing but mistreatment towards my precious MacBook Pro, so I tout the light cheap box around in public for the basics and if I lose it, drop it or gets stolen it's no big loss.
If one has a vehicle then the weight factor really isn't a major difference, it's mostly if your in a major city, taking trains, subways or walking a lot that a light weight device is more preferred.
Some people have considered a iPad too weak for general use , need to run Flash and Office programs, need a real keyboard and got thus a MacBook Air instead.
So you have to find the right balance of hardware that works for your situation and needs. It might be two devices.

Beware of Infinity upgrade from ADSL

I felt I had to pass on my experience of BT's push to migrate its ADSL broadband customers to Infinity. In fact it was my mother-in-law who is the subscriber (I just get called upon to fix IT problems when something goes wrong) and who got the call from BT. She was pushed into upgrading as it was positioned as all positive, more speed, the future is fibre blah blah with the only downside of a £25 one off charge. That said she had no idea after the call if she had actually agreed to a change in the tariff or whether, as I presume, this has locked her in to BT for another 12 months. Bottom line is that the upgrade was entirely inappropriate for her, did not work properly, was worse than what she had before and she has since had to downgrade back to the old service. This has left her without broadband at all for a week and about £45 out of pocket. Plus I had to drive 30 miles round trip to sort it all out for her. Thanks BT. So why was something that you would naturally assume to be fantastic such a bad idea? Well firstly she did not need the improved speed (I don't know what was promised to her on the phone) as she was already getting 14Mbps on ADSL and has one PC which she uses for a bit of email and browsing. If she uses the PC for more than 30 mins a day I would be surprised. She currently has a desktop PC connected by Ethernet cable to her home hub connected to an extension BT phone socket (in a small study). BT Inifinity replaced the master socket (which is in the hall not her study) and then installed an OpenReach modem/router and a conventional BT Home Hub 3 in the hall. As she also has an Ethernet powerline adaptor to allow the TV to connect to the Internet then this not only placed additional equipment on a hall table which she did not want but required three power sockets which she did not have (the powerline adaptor has to go into a real socket and not an extension or multi way adaptor). So this led to an extension cable trailing on the floor in the hall. Plus the £25 for the install. Now as she was using a desktop PC, short of moving that to the hall, she had no connection from PC to home hub. So she was told by the BT engineer to go out and buy a WiFi dongle for her PC. She is 82 and made the trip to the shops in the snow. Another £20. Had my wife or I known we would have stepped in but she is one of those fiercely independent types. Initially that did the trick and it worked. Then I did a speed test for her and found she was getting 3Mbps download and about 5Mbps upload! But at least it was working. But then next day the trouble started as the Internet connetion appeared down. Called BT and a long spell on the phone to the call centre. BT could not explain the line speed issue and put it down to needing to "settle in". The Internet connection to the hub (from the BT network) was fine and turned out it was the wireless connection starting to drop. Then rather than pick up the BT home hub again (a distance of 5m away) it would find a neighbour's BT hub or what appeared as a public access BT WiFI FON access point. She did not realise that she was trying to connect to the wrong hub. Plus anyway she did not want the hassle when she previously had only a wired connection. So at that point she called BT. Another long spell on the phone. But she was able to ask for her service to be downgraded. She was told it would happen the next day. Indeed BT Infinity stopped working the next day. But no BT ADSL broadband service was back. Another long phone call. Now was told that the old service would not be reactivated until the following week (almost one week after the BT Infinity service was cut off). That should happen today. So hopefully today all will be back to normal but it has left her out of pocket, having also spent hours on the phone to BT and required me make an "onsite" visit to move equipment and clear up the mess of boxes and cables in the hall. And for something she did not want or need. I will be telling her to write to BT to complain about this fiasco but I post this here as a warning. Before you migrate make sure it is right for you (or your friends and family). Oh and this is not technophobic fear of all things new - I myself have been using various broadband suppliers including BT for 12 years (dating back to BT Home Highway - 2 x 64kbps ISDN service).

IBook G3, thinking about upgrading from panther to tiger?

Hello all
This is my first apple computer that I've owned, it's my mom's hand me down after she got herself a spanking new macbook pro but it actually runs decently fine, iBook G3 500Mhz, 40gb HD, 640mb memory
It currently runs a clean copy of panther 10.3.9, but with some effort, I think I could get my hands on tiger as well. However, before I do, would it be worth it to try to upgrade it on this laptop? I think panther runs fine, but I hear for each successive mac osx, it's been running faster, so in that case, I'd try to get it, but if I happen to find that it's about the same or worse, then maybe not worth the effort. I definitely like to be up to date with my software and such, so it would be nice if people with ibook G3's with specs similar to mine could tell me their experience going from panther to tiger.
Thanks in advance

Welcome To  Discussions daonesteven!
Here are images of the Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, referred to by cornelius, that must be used.
If you know what to look for, those install discs, can be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, etc.
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
As the Tiger Media Exchange Program is no longer being offered, if the iBook doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.
Info here Installing Tiger without a DVD drive.
Once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the PPC 10.4.10 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
And additional RAM may speed the iBook up.
Shop Carefully, Examine All Documentation, And I Wish You Success!

Upgrading from BB to Infinity 1, Willl I still get...

I'm currently on the bog standard broadbacnd with weekend & evening calls plan and line rental paid for the year.
If I upgrade to Infinity 1, will I still get the same call plan and line rental (paid) at no extra cost to the £18?
I ask because I can't see any 'evening' call plans in any of the upgrade Infinity packages, just' weekend calls'.
Many Thanks

Evening call plans all cost extra now. It is not included with the package. Make sure you do get the line rental either refunded or included. It can become "lost" when you upgrade.

Thinking of upgrading from LE7.2 to LE8 - Any caveats?

Hi
I'm currently running Leopard on a 1.25Ghz eMac.
I will soon be upgrading my RAM to 2GBs (Yes, supposedly the eMac can really handle 2GBs of RAM). Currently I've only got 768MBs of RAM installed.
I'm also using a Presonus Firebox and M-Audio MIDISport2X2.
I have a Fractal Audio Axe-FX (multi-fx + amp modeler for guitar), an old DX7 and a Korg X5DR. Just a small writing studio for now.
I'll probably be buying an Axon AX100MKII MIDI guitar system in the near future as well.
Are there any problems with LE8 (compared to LE7) being experienced across the board by users?
Known serious bugs, etc.?
Any problems I should expect with my current gear/software as stated above?
Are the new features improvements or do they create workflow problems?
Etc., etc.
Feel free to rant and/or praise wildly.
Thanks for any info/tips.

It's a good investment.
LE-8 does use more CPU resources than 7.2, but there are some workarounds posted here and there on this forum. It's worth the guitar amp pro plugin alone, and it has upgraded FX plugins, especially EQs. You can create you own sampler instruments, with your own samples, with the EXS24 (its not just a sample player in LE 8). Plus, in addition to the LE7 synths, there's a really cool ES2 synth w/vector synthesis, and a vocoder synth. All cool. It has a completely flexible Aux system that is worth its weight in gold (compared to the rather restricted LE 7.2 Bus assign). Plus as many inputs as you'll ever need (64), but your Mac couldn't push that anyway. All of the Garageband instruments. Apple Loops. Did I mention the Ultrabeat drum synth/ beat designer?
Good thing is, you won't lose your LE-7.2. It remains available to you after you install LE-8.
As far as your interfaces go, I've read around here that you should get the latest drivers, cruise the forums, etc etc.
I'm using the Alesis io|26. So far I've tracked up to 16 channels at a time (using an external FW EZQuest Pro Audio+ drive) without a hiccup.
It was the best 90 bucks I've ever spent for a musical product (the upgrade).
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
bb

Upgrade from AMD 64 to AMD X2 64

Hello :
I think to upgrade from AMD Athlon 64 3200+ to AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (Dual Core), but i don't know if my motherboard support it.
Motherboard : MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum Edition (MS-7125)
06/23/2005-MS-7125-6A61FM49C-00
PCB : Version 1.0
BIOS :
Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG
W7125NMS V1.6 062305 20:14:37
Date 06/23/05
Please Help me !
Thanks.

It will. I have exactly that same motherboard and I just upgraded from a clawhammer 3500 to an Opteron 175. Update your BIOS to latest (1B I think) and you should be good to go. Note that when I boot, if I don't go into the BIOS, it only sees one core. But as I run Linux, I rarely ever have to boot.
It will work though.

Upgrade from macbook to macbook Pro: How to move UNIX programs?

I am thinking of upgrading from my intel macbook to a C2D macbook Pro. I know that I can use the migration assistant to move all my User files and Applications over to the new machine. But, is there a way to move all my installed UNIX programs, such as TeX and other libraries/programs that I installed with Fink?
If I just mirror the old drive to the new one, will that work? I'd like to have exactly the same setup on the new machine as the old one.
Thanks, Josh

Ok, so it is my understanding that the new C2D MBP's come with 10.4.8 build 8N1037. My 1st gen macbook has 10.4.8 build 8L2127. I read a blog by Jason D. O'Grady that describes moving from a 1st gen MBP to a C2D MBP with the same OS build discrepancy. He states that by using the install disks from the new MBP to update the OS on the old MBP he can just swap the harddrives:
"Although the new MeBook ships with Mac OS 10.4.8 installed it is a different build (8N1037) than the build that is installed on my previous MBP (8L2127). For this reason you need to use the install DVDs that come with the MeBook and upgrade the OS on the donor HDD (still in the original MBP) before the swap. Allow about 30 minutes for this process and use the time to take apart the receiving MBP."
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=325
So, following this logic, can I do the following ?!? :
1. I buy a new MBP
2. Put the new install DVD into my old macbook and update the OS to the new build
3. Use SuperDuper (my backup program of choice) to mirror my old HD onto the new HD
4. Seamlessly update from the macbook to the MBP and live happily ever after
Thanks,
Josh
