Two step verification in Canada SMS does not work with Telus

Just saw the announcement that Two step verification for your Apple account is now available to Canada. 
http://www.macnn.com/articles/13/05/10/option.will.appear.automatically.in.accou nt.details/
Tried to sign up, unfortunately after many attempts and testing with a few different phones it appears that Apples SMS server is not connected with Telus mobility as the messages never come through to any of my phones on the Telus network.
So maybe the announcement is a little premature. 

False start.
The option to sign up for two step verification has now been removed again. 
I guess they have to get the SMS feature working first. 
Here is a request.  Apple can you implement the industry standard time based authentication protocol:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6238
Same one is being used by:
Google
Dropbox
Lastpass
Microsoft
Amazon AWS
Then you can use one of the many apps available for smartphones and support users who want something secure but that does not require SMS or an apple hardware device to login to their apple id.

  • HT5593 How do i get sms support for two step verification in Canada with Telus ?

    i have followed the procedure for setting up two step authentication and the part where it's suppose to send me an sms code is where it fails. the code just never comes. anyone else having this issue ? fyi, im in Canada and using telus.
    i know when they first announced two step verification in Canada sms support was not there but now it's listed specifically for Canada and Telus on Apple support page. so what's the issue ?
    i know Apple has had tons of issues with sms codes outside the US but i figured by now they would get it right so i'm hoping there's just something i'm missing.

    i've even tried putting my sim card into a non-iphone, still no luck.
    Then how on earth is the iPhone the issue????
    Oh wait, it isn't.
    Unbelievable...

  • Whats the status of Two Step Verification in Canada?

    Has anyone heard what the status of Two Step Verification is in Canada. I have not been able to set it up since it was (supposedly) set up a few months ago. Thanks for your time.

    I have read a dozen news articles regarding two step verification in Canada. They are all a few months old and clearly state that it is ready to go here in Canada. However I have tried the steps to set it up and nothing! It seems to be a dead issue as I can not find any recent info about two step verification in Canada. I was really hoping that with iOS 7 it would have appeared in my account settings but no.

  • Droid Razr Maxx HD Data & SMS does NOT work in South Korea

    If you are going to South Korea this phone only operates as a "dumb phone" for phone calls ONLY. Data & SMS does not work at all. I contacted Global Support daily for one week with no resolution! I received conflicting information with 2 support folks telling me that the fix was to do a factory reset. So I reluctantly did this and it did not fix anything. It only wasted my time especially re-installing all my apps, etc. Then 4 support folks told me that you should never do this out of the country!! Anyway the last person i spoke to which was a network technician was very honest. He told me that I was "SOL" and he had no idea how to fix this problem. He said that he would have to get some teams together to try to fix the problem. And I was told that I would receive an email with an update. And of course I have not received any email of correspondence from Verizon. Very frustrating...

    I found a solution. Okay so with the most recent update Verizon made the switch from sending text messages over their 1x network and moved them to their LTE (and possibly 3g) network, hence the reason they are sending so much faster. Today I was in a classroom that is underground and has terrible reception and noticed that I was getting delivery reports again but that my texts were sending slower, like they used to. I dug around in the phones programing menu and found a new option call "MO SMS over IMS" and it was enabled. Disabling it switches your texts back onto the old 1x network. So if you choose to make the switch, your delivery reports will come back but sending will go back to being a little slower. To get to this menu open up your dialer and type in ##7764726. Next hit send and when prompted with a password type in 000000 and hit verify. Scroll down to SMS/MMS settings and select it. Next scroll to the bottom, select "MO SMS over IMS", and disable it. Now your good delivery reports back!

  • AT&T Microcell does NOT work with Time Warner Technicolor Modem!

    After a frustrating two weeks of working through problems with AT&T, trying to get my Microcell on-line, Time Warner finally informed me that the Microcell does not work with their new Technicolor modem. Incredibly annoying that none of the AT&T reps I spoke to knew this. I walked in the Time Warner office to swap out the moden, the clerk there immediately knew the problem because he use to work at AT&T.  How a former AT&T rep knew this and none of the new ones did, is beyond me.  

    There are so many ISP configured routers and gateways out there that it is impossible for AT&T support to keep track of what is compatible and what is not. We are just starting to see reports of incompatibilities with the Technicolor gateways (TWC equipment has a long history of problems with the MicroCell). Unfortunately the support reps are limited in what they can tell the customer and unless AT&T documents and verifies equipment incompatibilites they can't say anything. What the "former AT&T rep" knew may have been in-house discussions. AT&T, like any provider, has to be careful not to immediately blame the other party without "proof". The more documented complaints AT&T receives concerning a specific piece of equipment the better. However, it is up to the ISP to fix and/or replace their equipment when it comes to compatibility problems. Specific firmware pushes for specific equipment by AT&T to the MicroCell is not a viable alternative nor is it realistic.

    Flash Player is a built-in component of Internet Explorer.  There's nothing separate to download or install.
    Firefox requires a different version of Flash Player (the NPAPI plug-in), which will be served to you if you go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Firefox; however, there are some unique stability issues related to Firefox on Win8.1, and you're probably better off using Google Chrome if you want a more optimal experience with Flash Player.
    For problems where IE isn't being detected by sites that require Flash:
    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

  • My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi

    Following a question solved on March 24 by LaPastenague, but gone bad again.
    Apple AirPort Time Capsule
    I felt the need for a physical backup of my data, as I would not completely trust the different clouds. I use, and have used Dropbox for 4-5 years and are very satisfied with that, but I am still not sure if or when a political lunatic will shut off the internet.
    I purchased the Apple AP Time Capsule 2T, because all my other stuff are Apple, and that it's wireless. My old backup is Maxtor 300 GB.
    Since we stay 2-3 weeks on two locations, one in Norway and one in Sweden (two different countries) we must use Mobile Broadband 4G, cables or fibre connections are useless for us, and we don't have it up to the houses. I have one mini router for each country, we bring with us iPhones, iPads, iMac, Apple TV, APExpress. When we pass the boarder I change the mini router, and the system continues working perfect on the WiFi, except the APExpress that needs to be reconfigured,  but then it works.
    The APTC was difficult to make working as it would not accept to be in an existing network, but with good help from the Apple Community, LaPastenague, with forcing the TC connect to the APE with Ethernet cable in bridge mode, ref "My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi" from March 24, the problem was solved and all gadgets worked together in a perfect harmony, until we changed location.
    Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
    I have a slight feeling that the two WiFi bands are making the trouble as during the configuration of the TC sometime the last figure 6 and 7 pops up, and that has something two do with the two different 2,4 and 5 GHZ bands
    So, I am curious if you have any idea ?
    I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?

    I can deal with the last question first and easily.
    I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?
    Open the airport utility .. go to the disk tab and select erase.
    When you select erase you will get mulitiple options.
    Quick removes the file table but does not delete the files,, it takes 2min or less.
    A Zero out data is the secure way,, by writing 0 ie low level drive format.
    It can take several hours..
    7 pass will take a week.. not recommended..
    35 pass erase is ridiculous.. it would take a month.. put an ax through the TC. It is quick and better.
    Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
    The fact that it did work and has now failed might point to faulty unit.
    The only way to tell is reset it properly to factory and start over.
    Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
    Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
    Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Note..
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Generally having multiple wireless AP should not cause problems.. but it is better to set channels manually.. so it doesn't go beserk rotating channels.
    Remember to keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Sadly though the Apple routers have no logging now and no SNMP and almost nothing to help diagnose a problem, so if it continues .. take it back to apple.. they have given you no other method of fixing it.

  • ITunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows - Fix??

    Hi everyone,
    I had issue after issue with the latest iTunes update (12.1.1) not working on my windows 7. It simply would not lunch when clicking on the shortcut to open.
    After a fair bit of searching I found this alternative version which seemed to do the trick and now it works:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - iTunes64Setup.exe(2015-02-18)

    The "for older video cards" installer - which, like most prior "64 bit" versions of iTunes, is actually a 32 bit application with a 64 bit installer - may be a useful fallback if the full 64 bit version does not install or run correctly.  Although 12.1.1.4 is a major improvement over 12.1.0.71, there are clearly still some lurking incompatibilities with some 64 bit Windows systems/components.  It is, however, a little misleading to say that "iTunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows" - in many cases it works fine without switching to the alternative version.  I have the full 64-bit version of 12.1.1.4 running on three systems - two Windows 7 and one Windows 8.1 - no issues with either installation or operation on any of them.

    I have done the following:
    Downloaded the patched hal version.
    used makepkg in /abs/local/trunk/ to create a pkg for pacman
    used sudo pacman -U pkgname to install it.
    used sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi to create the fdi file with the following content:
    saved the file and removed my ntfs entryes from fstab and rebooted. and still there is no automount off ntfs partitions.

    WARNING: what follows is a guide of what did work for me, I'm still in an early stage of learning linux, so please correct me if anything of what follows is wrong/dangerous/stupid. As I said, this worked for me, it's not pretty, since I was learning each step on the fly and I'm sure there are better ways to do this.
    So fjodork, you seem to have done the the necessary steps, though i couldn't get it to work until i first removed hal without dependencies
    pacman -Rd hal
    it will give you some warning about the dependencies, ignore  it since we are reinstalling hal in a few steps.
    First i tried to follow Raymano's link, obviously it showed me nothing in the browser so I thought it might be a broken link.
    So I downloaded the source tarball from here http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-0.5.10.tar.gz
    unpacked it changed the /tools/hal-storage-mount.c as per Milfadoodle's instructions.
    at first I tried to compile directly from source, the process would finish without a glitch though after reboot nothing changed, as if hal weren't
    installed, i guess there were issues with paths. anyway read on
    Then repacked the source in tarball, copied it to /var/abs/extra/system/hal and modified the PKGBUILD as follows
    makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'gperf')
    options=('!libtool')
    install=hal.install
    source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz #removed url so makepkg looks in the current directory for the tarball
        hal
        hal-policy.patch
        cryptsetup_location.patch
        hal-0.5.9-hide-diagnostic.patch
        ntfs3g-valid-options.patch)
    md5sums=('6641c30a27c00485c6accac5110ff911' # replace with md5sum of your package's sourceball (run md5sum filename)
             '882f67668cb14a0a9e4a27ef22278027'
             '5ba8b610aa9763a5f42b9f7cbd7a86ad'
    then makepkg (i had to add --asroot, don't ask why
    and finally pacman -U hal-0.5.10-1-i686.pkg
    another reboot and everything worked without a glitch!:D (yeah i know i still haven't got rid of the reboot mentality )
    I have also put the policy files as per the wiki instructions.
    PS: I know this is a dirty way to getting things done but as i said, I'm just starting
    If anyone could comment/correct/explain this post I'd be more than happy, the automount issue was bothering me for about a month now (you'll say why do I need ntfs in the first place? well, I only recently switched for Linux as my primary OS, these are some relics of the M$ era

  • Macbook Pro 2011 DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected

    My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected. If get the blue screen and then can use the macbook but nothing is displayed on the TV. If i go into display I can see that there are two screens but nothing displayed on the TV. If i take the power cable out at this point the TV shows the second desktop as expected. If i then reconnect the cable, the screen flickers, as though it is being affected by the power cable, and the screen goes blank on the TV. Only if i remove the DVI cable do i get the blue screen again. If i remove the power cable and reconnect it will do it every single time, so i cannot see it being a TV issue or a minor glitch.
    I have had this working previously but at the minute it seems to not be playing ball....any thoughts
    Thanks

    Question
    better privacy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers? edit
    Details

    As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
    Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
    In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
    C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
    Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
    Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
    If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
    If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
    Any luck?
