Upgrade Homehub3 to 4?

Hi all, BT have offered me a free (except for postage) HH4 to replace my present HH3. I have ADSL giving about 2.4 Mb speed only, as am in a rural location (3.5 Kilometres of overhead wire). The line is a direct exchange line so BT Infinity is not possible at present. I use the HH3 to feed a home network with 3 wired connections and occasional wireless device usage. The present system works well, so should I upgrade the Hub? What would be the advantage and what the snags? Anybody Know?

I would leave things alone, as you are not going to see any improvement in speed, and you may introduce other problems that you did not have before.

Poor Broadband Since Upgrade at Exchange

Hi All,
I wish someone could solve my problem. BT upgraded the exchange in mid-February. I received this email on the 16th -
Good news
This is to let you know that we've now upgraded your line and you should now have an improved, more consistent broadband connection, and maybe a speed increase.
I had a very good connection before the upgrade. Consistently 7mb on an IP Profile of 7150 on ADSL Max. Anyway since the upgrade things have deteriorated somewhat. Consistency is not one of the services being offered. Service varies between nothing at all - even broadband light on HomeHub3 going out - and 6.9. I have been logging it every half hour during the day. Naturally I have been in touch with BT Service Desk and they have been ringing me every 2 days to see if things have improved! I have had an engineer out and he said the line was 'sweet' and capable of good speeds. He suggested the exchange should change me onto a 21CN circuit as I was on ADSLMax. He spoke to the exchange and they said to request it through BT Service Desk. I did so and they have said they have done it, but it really has made no difference. It IS worse than before the upgrade. I have checked out the line via KITZ and this gave me:
Estimation of your maximum rate adaptive adsl speed
Downstream Attenuation dB 24.0
Approx Line Length 1.7 km
dslMAX 8128kbps IP Profile 7150kbps
adsl2+ (21CN) 18688kbps IP Profile 16000kbps
adsl2+ (LLU) 18688kbps Throughput 16539kbps
BT Speedtester shows:
Download speed achieved during the test was - 5.16 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 2 Mbps-7.15 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 7.11 Mbps
Speedtester then came up with:
We have identified that you have additional services enabled on you broadband line, please click continue to run advanced service tests.
Except I don't have additional services on my line, e.g. video, TV. So what's that about too?
I believe I should gett a much more consistent, and higher, speed. I did before BT upgraded the exchange. Normally, I would let BT just get on with it. I am ex-BT TO and have remained 'loyal' to the old firm and have never used anyone else. But I am signed upto the £25 a month deal, and I have recently renewed it for another 18 months. So, this is beginning to irk me somewhat.
Any ideas what I should do next? All help will be gratefully received.
Thank you.

Hi,
This is confusing me now. In my original post I said that I had requested the circuit be upgraded and I have been told several times since by BT Service Desk that the work has been carried out! How do I make sure that this is done? Also what are the indicators in my ADSL settings that tell you that I haven't been upgrade?
Cheers

You have been mis-informed I`m afraid.
Your best course of action would be to ask the BT Care Team, they will get to the bottom of this.
If you would like to contact one of the UK based BT Care Team who moderate this forum, they should be able to help you.
They can be contacted using this link BT Care Team
They normally respond by phone or e-mail, within three working days, however you should get an immediate confirmation, with a tracking number.

Exchange upgrade has left me with crippling slow s...

Hi. 1 year of homehub3 speeds usually 3-4 meg. I receive an email telling me of the exciting news of an exchange upgrade. Unfortunately I now have at best 0.5 meg. Call center states I could get up to 20 meg. So far absolutely no change to speed since phone call. Any help appreciated. I pay a lot for this dreadful speed!

Hey imjolly. Cheers for the reply. The connection time is low because I have been through the obligatory power cycle procedures and I also disconnected the bellwire etc to try and solve the problem. India CC Rang me back today. When I told them I had seen no improvement he said he would sort it. As you can see I think the numbers look a little more healthy. Just hope the speed stays like this!

Exchange upgraded a month ago, slight increase in ...

My local exhange was upgraded to ADSL2+ about a month to six weeks ago. Before the upgrade I was getting 7.5Meg from my old ADSL connection, I am quite close to the exchange.
Anway, now my homehub3 reckons its connecting at 20.25Meg to the cabinet but the max download I am seeing is 9.2 Meg. This was done using the BT Speed Checker and the BT Wholesale Checker. My ipprofile is 8.46Meg. The technical advice from the call centre was basically tough luck, the BT site estimates I should be getting 17Meg from my phone number. The upstream is very good, no problems there (although I guess we all wish it was faster!)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I have included todays stats from my router below. If there is a technical reason why I am not getting faster connection thats fine but I would have assumed being almost flat out with ADSL when it went to 2+ I would have seen a nice boost.

Wii, i player and HomeHub3 help please!

Hi
We bought a Wii for Christmas and were running i-player through it very happily. It never cut out, froze or had insufficient bandwidth. Our router was a BT Voyager which we seem to have had forever... I'm estimating a genuine 6+ years.
A few weeks ago we exceeded our broadband usage for the first time and we 'upgraded' to a Homehub3. Since then we have hardly been able to watch any programmes on iplayer through the wii.. We usually have 'insufficient bandwidth' or it just freezes and does nothing but we have had numerous other error codes. The long and short is that now we have 'upgraded' to a Hub3 we can now not use the iplayer at all... does anyone know how I can fix it?
All thoughts appreciated!

IPod no longer works with car stereo since upgraded MBA & iTunes

My iPod classic has worked just fine connected to my car stereo since i bought it last june. I just bought a new Macbook Air (OS 10.7.3) & installed ITUNES 10.6.1. After I synched my ipod for the first time its recognised by the car but i get a "can't read data" message. I re-formatted my ipod but its exactly the same. Do you think its the upgrade- or the cable? Has anyone else found a bug with this version of Itunes or the OS? I have my doubts a cable would make the difference, and my old ipod nano that i haven't synched for a while works fine.

If standalone works fine, then, most likely the 30 pin connect may have some dirt or lint, prevent data transfer.
You can try to blow it clean, if you have a can of compressed air or gas.
Alternatively you can connect it to the car stereo and do the RESET, while connnected.as follows
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
The Reset sequence may send a signal to the Car stereo to do the right thing

Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

Ipod touch can no longer connect to XP following Apple upgrade, HELP !

This is a nightmare. My son has an ipod touch (8gb)purchased a couple of months, and it's been fine until a couple of days ago. I downloaded some music for him, and just about to synch when Apple informed me on itunes of a software upgrade, so naturally I did this. However, it could not complete it saying there was a problem installing the hardware. The ipod then had a permanent picture of a usb cable pointing towards the itunes logo. Itunes no longer recognises this ipod or my own ipod as a device.
I'm not a techhie expert, but I generally know my way around computers, however I could not resolve this.
I called the Apple technical support desk, where I spent 1 hour 45 minutes with 2 different advisors who could not resolve this. We installed and re-installed various components from drivers to itunes to anti virus software, however nothing could change. There was simply no recognition of the ipod at all when connected.It does give a pop up message to restore the ipod, however you can't actually click on the restore button because to have to get rid of the pop up message first, then the screen with the restore facility disappears.
Windows xp is continually popping up a message saying " FOUND NEW HARDWARE WIZARD There was a problem installing this hardware. Apple Mobile USB driver. An error occured during the installation of the device. The system cannot find the file specified."
You then have to click on finish, however the message keeps coming back. We kept going round and round in circles with the technical support people, where it was left that I should start removing programmes on my computer to see if any of those are causing a problem. I have had the same spyware for the last 12 months now and never had a problem before, nor any other programmes.
I booked a genius appointment at my local Apple store today where the assistant reset the ipod to factory settings so it could at least work. I explained the situation, however 15 minutes was never going to be long enough to look into it, and a restore was all they did. Obviously all of my programmes were lost, however when I got home and plugged it back into the computer again, it could not be recognised by itunes and i got the same pop up message. Luckily we have not spent alot on downloads, however my son has lost his music now and it cannot be connected or upgraded. It's under guarantee however a software upgrade by Apple has totally messed my computer up. I really don't know who to turn to now as both the service support and store has not rectified this, something I feel has been caused by Apple.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Just upgraded HDD, now how do I get my data back??

I just upgraded my stock 60GB HD to a 120GB Seagate Momentus 5400 ($100). This is what I did:
1. Before removing the 60GB HD, i created a read-only disk image of my HD(with Disk Utility on the OSX install CD). I put this disk image on my USB external hard drive.
2. Physically replaced the 60GB with the 120GB.
3. Now, I boot up the computer to the OSX install CD (since it is a blank new HD). I open up Disk Utility on the install CD, and try to restore the image i created (on my external USB HD) to my new 120GB internal drive. I am able to select the image to restore, but cannot select my internal drive as the destination.
I have all sorts of music, movies, applications...etc. on my old HD that I want on my new drive.
I want to have my computer be identical to before I upgraded, just with a larger HD. Is this possible?
I have tons of external USB HD space to use if needed, and I also still have the old HD... if I need to create a different kind of disk image or something.
Please help!
Macbook 2.0GHz (White) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I did this already. I failed to mention it in my first post. I have my HD "111.8 GB Seagate..." and underneath it: "Macintosh HD". Still can't restore an image to the "Macintosh HD" volume.

We managed to solve this by changing tf90server.bat file.
from - I:

tf90server.exe %*
To - I:\BSI\Server9.0\tf90server.exe %*
Now we could run report RPUBTCU0 without error.

Lock-ups on MCS-7825 after after OS Upgrade to 2000.4.4aSR6

About 3 weeks ago, I upgraded some MCS-7825 & MCS-7835 servers to 2000.4.4aSR6. Since then, one of the 7825's has been rebooting on its own almost twice a day. The other 7825 and 7835s are operating fine.
Anybody else encountering a problem with this? I see in the release notes, some BIOS and firmware updates are included for the 7825, and am suspecting this is the problem.

My problems actually turned out to be hardware, I think. I reviewed the logs and found out it had been happening for several months.

Graphic Card Upgrade for HP-Pavilion dv6t-7000

Hello. I have the HP Pavlilion dv6t-7000 with the NVIDIA GT650M 1GB grpahics card. Now because of my work, i need to extends my graphic card memory. So I want to ask if my laptop is possible to upgrade to GT650M 2GB card.
My product number is A5F74AV. And my wannary is end on 8/24/2013.
And this laptop is a gift of my aunt from USA, and I'm living in Viet Nam now. So if yes, can HP Vietnam do the upgrade for me? My aunt's family is very busy so I can't resend my laptop and ask them to return to you.
Thank you very much!

Hi:
The only way to upgrade the video card in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard which would cost as much as buying a new notebook with better graphics.
If you had HP do the upgrade, it would probably cost more than buying 2 notebooks with better graphics than yours.

Voice Memos Issues After IOS 8 Upgrade

After upgrading to IOS 8 on my iPhone 5s, the majority of my voice memos are missing and the ones that remain no longer have titles or even play back on my phone. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I was able to recover my voice memos, though the original titles are gone.
I opened my Voice Memos app like everyone else and I saw each memo quickly deleting and acting glitchy. I then connected my iPhone to my macbook so I could attempt to restore the backup I had made before the ios8 update. It said it couldn't be done because there wasn't enough room. However, when I opened my memos app again, the voice recordings were there! I can't verify if it's all of them but I'm grateful I was able to recover some.
I use this app to record lyrics on the go and I'd really like Apple to step up and fix this.
