Try and avoid BT at all costs

I have now been without internet (dont care about the telephone) for 2 weeks. BT took one week to send out a technician to see where the problem was and he discovered that it was under the road, so maybe another few weeks tp dig the road up and fix the problem. Meanwhile I am spending at least 15 pounds a day in mobile internet. Cant get to speak to anyone that knows anything about when this might get fixed...crazy! If Virgin had fibre optic here in Combe Down Bath I would never had contracted BT for internet. 

Hi richardiansamuels,

  • Have an Epson workforce 600 worked fine until new router and Lion installed.  Now when I try and scan with the all in one I get a "POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED"  and my IMAC does not recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer.

    Installed a new router.  Installed Lion. Have an Epson Workforce 600 multi function printer.  Two problems. 
    1. I cannot get Lion to recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer.  There is no scan option on the "print/Scan" popup window.
    2. When I try and use the epson scan utility I get:  POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NOT LONGER SUPPORTED.
    I have tried EPSON support with no real luck as they say it is Apple upgrades that are the problem.
    Apple support was quite rude..said it was not their problem and that I should call epson.  Told the I did but it made no difference just got the same reply.
    Have no idea what to do.....seems I cannot find out which multi-function printers Lion supports.

    Not to give you another run around, but you need new printer drivers from Epson for your printer so it works in Lion.
    Now it could be that they are working on it, or that they could have decided not to provide new drivers in order for you to force upgrade.
    The only thing a user can do is decide very carefully BEFORE upgrading to a newer Apple operating system, make sure that all their current hardware and software works and make a decision for themselves.
    Since you upgraded to Lion, you can go back to Snow Leopard and your PPC software will work.
    Do you need instructions?

  • Avoid AMD at all costs! Get intel&Nvidia!

    My brand new GX70 cant keep up my buddy's Samsung S7 gtx660m.  The reason why....AMD's Enduro in combination with their A10 apu. You can google it, more than two years and they still haven't fixed the issues. In-fact AMD forced companies to removed posts about the issues. CoH2 Beta, Battlefield 3, Borderlands 2, and Guild Wars 2, all have the same problem. They can not fully utilize the gpu on low, med, or high settings. After tracking down some modified 13.6 beta drivers on a Japanese website, I managed to get Borderlands 2 to run between 13 FPS-98fps AVG 28fps on High/Ultra settings w/no PhysX . Guild Wars 2 is unplayable in populated areas even on low settings I average 12fps in the main cities. The integrated GPU actually outperforms the 8970m due to the low gpu usage. I've done clean installs of the 12.1, 12.3, 12.7, 13.1, 13.4 catalyst drivers along with MacHater's Enduro DX9 hotfix to no avail. Tweaked every known setting in CCC and nothing. After scouring the internet for about two days I found out that I am not the only one. Its a known problem that AMD has not addressed. It is also the reason why many of the boutique and other manufacturers have dropped AMD gpus all together. Also MSI locked the bios so you can not disable AMD Enduro with out voiding warranty by flashing custom bios. You have all been warned.

    Yea, I have also found the instructions on using BAR-EDIT lock the cpu to 3.2GHz.  But, can't these turbo to 3.5GHz?  If there is a way to do this I'd like to know how.  
    Since I have gone ahead and purchase this thing, I want to be able to use it.  I will try adding another 8gb ram.  This should work.

    i would also like to add and ssd, something cheap like a 250GB mx100 but, I don't really like the idea of having to buy a retail copy of win 8.1.    I mean my machine came with windows and j could try to clone the oem version but my os is corrupted..  I'm pretty sure this is due to the crappy HHD it has.. but windows still works.  I'm a little torn about what to do about it.
    It seems this is the only option to improve performance on this laptop.
    No you dont need to buy new windows 8.1 or so just use burnrecovery tool in msi laptop create your USB recovery stick and a .iso version incase you wanna formate usb in future then you can atleast burn .iso's into dvd's then when you bought new SSD just run usb and it will restore your os back to new ssd , also 4700HQ goes to 3.4GHz max and 4710HQ has turbo to 3.5GHz max so depends on which i7 you got.

    Hello Wesleywilson2349,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    Depending on your version of Windows, I would recommend either one of these 2 articles:
    Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

  • Should we Avoid QuickTime at all Costs?

    Hello, an established and distinguished member of this forum recently said:
    "Don't use QuickTime...for anything.  Seriously, just completely uninstall it from your rig."
    What is some of the thinking behind this view?  I know others have also expressed very strong reservations about it as well.
    I don't want to start a big controversy or anything, but I would like to get up to speed on this essential issue.
    Thanks so much!
    Matt
    PS: I have a Canon 5D Mark II and shoot in H.264.... Quicktime seems to be intimately involved in my workflow somehow.....

    Having QuickTime installed won't hurt anything if you don't choose to use it.
    Having QuickTime installed is necessary to import several kinds of .mov files (though Premiere Pro can handle some natively, as in the example that Colin gave)---so, if you are going to use .mov files as source media, you need QuickTime installed.
    Exporting to QuickTime is sometimes required by some clients. Though you may try to dissuade them, the client is (usually) the boss.
    If you have a choice, and you care about color fidelity, don't export to QuickTime. QuickTime has a jumbled, half-implemented way of kinda-sorta doing color management. This method doesn't even work reliably within Apple software, meaning that people can't roundtrip media just within Apple applications with consistent color in some circumstances. This absolutely bedevils us, as we keep trying to hit this moving target. Any time someone tells me that our color management system isn't working, I _know_ (well, strongly suspect, anyway, with a very high rate of being right) that they're using QuickTime media.
    Because QuickTime is a 32-bit software component, we had to create our own intermediate process (QT32 Server) to communicate between QuickTime and the 64-bit Adobe video applications. This component can diminish performance but, more to the point, it can be the source of some other problems. The one that springs immediately to mind is the fact that aggressive firewall programs seem to hate QT32 Server, as described here:

  • Avoid Skype at all cost.

    I had been using Skype for over 12 years, and just decided to delete my account (if possible!). My account was illegally accessed and my entire balance used to make calls to Cameroon. For two weeks, I have been trying to get Skype to simply tell me how my account was accessed (whether there were repeated tries at guessing my password or whether the person logged in on their first try, or whether they hacked their way into their systems some other way). The process has been infuriating to say the least. IMPOSSIBLE to get an answer, their constant reply : "We are sorry for the inconvenience, however, Skype takes our customers' privacy and confidentiality very seriously, and therefore we cannot disclose this information due to our Skype Privacy Statement. This is the reason why we advised you to contact a member of the law enforcement agency with regards to your request." Can anyone else see the irony? ...And contacting the law enforcement to know whether someone illegally accessed my account on their first try? Seriously?

  • Avoid BT - at all costs

    BT - Quick enough to take your money.
    Take months to return it.
    I was offered a refund, which I was guaranteed would be in the bank TODAY! Only the third guarantee this month. Oh and guess what! It isn't in the bank!

    Hello Selland Shawn,
    Go through the below link and Restore your iPhone by connecting it to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    And if you have bought a Used iPhone from someone and if Find My iPhone is Enabled on that device then you will have to contact the previous owner to Disable to Activation Lock.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5818
    What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
    Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account.  For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.

  • I have obsolete computers attached to my appleid when I try to add the new computers to my itunes store and purchases to keep all data updated and together....and not have to repurchase.  I had a fire...thus, old computers are gone and I cannot unauthoriz

    I have obsolete computers and devices attached to my appleid.  I cannot deauthorize them as they are gone!!!  (Had a fire and had to replace all tech systems)  Because I spent alot of monies on my purchases, it would be nice to be able to combine all these items and not have to repurchase them.  How can I update the current number of computers and correct ipods, ipads and iphones together; and get rid of all old computers and ipods, iphones that are authorized under the appleid I have always used.  I have asked this question before, but received no support or answers.  I do have icloud and mobileme, but cant sychonize them either. 
       I am also seriously considering purchasing a mac, and no longer using the windows pc\s as too many tech difficulties arise when I tackle complicated projects regarding DVD and moving making.  However, I still require pc software for my work.  Will my current backup network system convert easily?  Can it be converted?  Will I require a tech and if so, how much will this cost?  I have recently invested a large sum into creating a network and backup system that has yet to be working as it should.  Unfortuneately it has left me with very little left to try to convert to the mac systems entirely.  Please answer my questions in a language that I can understand.....as this problem is affecting my household, organization and office techniques.  Would like to take care of this problem once and for all.  Mac seems to work with my creative desires much better.  Will await your response.....Thank you.

    If you no longer have the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store,  deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)  and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

  • Had to have my hard drive "cleaned."  Now everything I try and do is a mess.  All my data on my iPhone was deleted.  I'm trying to figure out how to find it.  I can't update my apps.  Always asks for my PW, but tells me it's wrong....HELP!

    I recently had to have my computer hard drive "cleaned."  While this was going on, I broke my SG3, and now own an SG4.
    I also changed servers for the internet.  When I tried to plug in my SG4, after not being on iTunes for some time, all my data was erased.
    No every time I try and do ANYTHING, it asks for my PW.....which is ALWAYS WRONG.....though I've reset it over and over and over.
    I want my data back (contacts, pics, etc.).  But I can't even maneuver around iTunes any more.
    How in the **** do I get someone from iTunes to give me assisstance for the myriad of problems for which I am encountering.  This is a CLUSTERF.....
    HELP!

    There is no such thing as an "SG3" or "SG4".  Did you possibly mean a 3GS and iPhone4?
    It has always been very basic to ensure that a backup exists of your media and other important files.  Computers fail, hard drives crashes... things happen.  Do you not have a backup?  The iPhone, like all iDevices is NOT a backup of your media, but rather a mirror of the content in the iTunes library on your computer.
    If your contacts, pics, etc are not on your computer, no backups of the iPhone exist, and they are not on the phone, they are gone.
    No one can magically make them re-appear.

    If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
    If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account.
