What's involved in line connection / reconnection?

I'm after some info if someone can help please.
I've recently moved into a rented property and have had to place a new line order. The building is a few years old now (4 or 5) and there are BT sockets installed. I've been given a provisional number (as found in my online account) but when I plug a phone in, there's no dialling tone, so it needs to be connected/reconnected.
I can't believe that there's never been a BT line in the flat before but there you go.
Do I need to be present for the reconnection? It's scheduled for Friday 27th August, which is fortunate in a way as I go on holiday the day after. I'd rather not have to book time off work to sit around waiting for an engineer to visit - is the work done at the flat or will the engineer just connect something up at the Exchange?
I'm worried I'm being stitched for £128 for connection and have to take time off work for the engineer visit?
Thanks in advance for any information!
Stephen.

Hi Stephen,
I believe if the line has been ceased (when you pick up the receiver you dont have a dial tone) then BT charge you the full connection charge. BT have to assign a number to the line, via Openreach and the charge for this is passed on to you.
If you have dial tone they offer reductions (unfortunalty not in your case by the sound of your post). It might be worth looking at www.BT.com and search for connection charges or follow the below link (it explains it all and give you offers on at the moment).

Hope that helps.

  • What causes vertical color lines on ipad2 and how do you remove them ?

    What causes vertical color lines on an IPad. And how do you remove them ?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    If still present: Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    Don't believe it's a factor, but you should update your iOS.
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • Line connecting two bars of a floating bar chart

    Hi All,
    I am using floating bar chart for one of my functionality showing flows over time...
    I need to draw one dashed line connecting two bars ..
    Attaching the image for reference ..
    Pls guide me how shd I achieve this ...
    Thanks

    Morning Art,
    I hope you had a good weekend.
    Yes! I know what you mean because I have the same issue. If for example there is one record out of 10 records, the chart fills the whole width of the page with blue rectangle within the chart, and showing 1 on the x-axis (one big blob of blue colour within a chart).
    It looks very bad though I didn't find any solution to the problem either. however if I do, I will let you know.

    I have been an Adobe customer since 1991 on an old IICi.  A while ago I purchased Creative suite 4.  I have Adobe Acrobat 4, ver. 9.5.5.  Are there any updates I can apply?  What is involved in updating if I want to avoid the cloud?  I have a satellite connection that charges for bandwidth usage.  I have a 27" iMac, using 10.10.3.

    Hi Kenneth ,
    We are sorry but you would not be able to update from Creative Suite 4 .The reason being there are no updates available for Acrobat version 9 .It is quite an older version so you are unfortunately not eligible for any updates or upgrade .
    The best option for you would be to opt for Acrobat DC .
    You could either for Acrobat DC subscription or perpetual version .Here is the link to download the same .

    You could also opt for Acrobat DC Creative Cloud subscription

  • What's involved with upgrading to Final Cut Express HD?

    I was just wondering what is involved with upgrading to High Definition. My current computer is a PowerBook G4 and I did not know if this would support the HD. What percentage of users are still using the regular and what percent have upgraded to HD.
    I figured that when I buy a new Mac I would upgrade the HD, but until that point I'd stick with the regular resolution. I would need to buy a new HD video camera too.
    Thanks for any thoughts!

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    FCE HD (3.0 and 3.5) is not only for HD editing, it's the new name for Final Cut Express since version 3.0, and you can edit in HDV or SD with the same product.
    HDV is pretty demanding on computer power, RAM and storage.
    Altough a G4 1,0 GHz meets the minimun requirements to do HDV, pay attention to video card itself. See spec section for FCE HD:
    "Macintosh computer with 500MHz or faster PowerPC G4 or G5 (550MHz for PowerBook G4) or Intel Core Duo
    512MB RAM
    Display with 1024-by-768 (or higher) resolution
    An AGP or PCI Express graphics card compatible with Quartz Extreme or an Intel GMA integrated graphics processor in MacBook or Mac mini
    Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later
    QuickTime 7.0.4 or later
    HDV features require 1GHz or faster processor and 1GB of RAM (2GB recommended)
    500MB disk space required for applications; additional 16GB of additional storage space for Soundtrack and LiveType content (can be installed on separate disks)
    DVD drive for software installation"
    A big monitor is also a good idea (kind of one to one pixel at displaying video:the 23" Apple cinema HD display 1920 X 1200 pixels or greater).
    Think about an external hard drive to store your captured media.
    In the camcorders line-up, it's better to choose a tape recording based one (no hard disk, nor DVD nor media card recorder), because FCE HD allows capture directly from a such camcorder (altough it's possible to download from other sources and convert your material to something that FCE can handles without rendering. A 3 CDD one is better (I own the fabulous FX-1). Many HDV camcorders allows down conversion directly from capturing process: so we can edit in SD format with the same material.
    Currently, HDV can be edited on FCE HD, but you will have to print to tape your edited HDV content to keep it in HDV format. You cannot burn HDV or blue-ray DVD ( aka high definition DVD) from iDVD 6 and watch it on a HD TV set.
    There are some HD DVD burners around the corner ($$$ to buy and blank DVDs are not cheap) but the choice of software is very limited.
    HDV is simply ashtoning to watch on HD tv set and it's the future.
    I think you can count on an instant 200$ rebate if you buy a new mac and FCE HD on apple store:
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=37C 4CB71&nclm=Moviedeal
    Good luck.

    I know. I actually passed an OpenReach van 500 meteres from my house today. Stopped and asked if there was any way, at all, the guy could help me out or check on the status of the BT marked manhole cover outside my house (<1 min away). Was told 'Sorry, not my job, can't help you, I'm here to sort out another property and I'm lost'. I said I fully appreciated he had other work, but was there any chance he could take just 5 mins to help me out. I was told 'no way, not my area, sorry'. Said that OpenReach would need to commission a 'survey' of my property to sort this out. Frankly, he couldn't get out of there quick enough.
    Sad thing is, my neighbour had an Engineer out (as I was promised by BT) and it was all sorted in a few minutes and was simply activating a connection in the exchange box (or whatever it is) outside my house.
    Crazy thing, is they will just end up sending another OpenReach van out to sort this out. At some point. Maybe.
    As you say . . . OpenReach just do what they want. I don't blame this guy specifically, but it would be nice if he took a second out to help everyone out.
    BT call centre, meanwhile, just helplessly say that they can't tell me any more for 36 hours.

  • What is involved in removing an image from a PDF document and inserting a new one?

    Our form producing process is very typical:
    (1) Start with a TIFF image, create a fresh PDF document.
    (2) By adding items such as links and interactive fields, convert the read-only document into an interactive form.
    Step (2) may take a lot of work, but fortunately when modifications are needed, it is always possible to edit the individual items. No need to redo the whole form from scratch.
    There are some cases, however, in which we have invested a substantial amount of work in Step (2), but we need to modify the underlying image, removing it and replacing it with a new one. We obviously don't want to destroy all the work done in (2).
    I envision the procedure as taking a rug from underneath a person and putting a new one.
    What is involved in doing that? Can that be done at the JavaScript level? Are there commercial packages that can do that? Is the Acrobart SDK required?

  • Can some one please tell me what leads i need to connect my mac book pro to my tv

    If your TV has HDMI, and if your MBP is compatible with this adapter, I highly recommend:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1824ZM/A/Moshi_Mini_DisplayPort_to_HDMI_Adapt er
    It sends the audio out through the mini DisplayPort into the HDMI cable, but only if your computer has that capability.  On that page, scroll down and look for a comment titled "How you know if it is supported w/o guessing."

    what do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the mac's thunderbolt port to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks

    Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
    In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
    When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
    You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
    Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
    High regards to everybody

    I've tried safari, chrome, firefox...I've cleared the cache as well. This has been going on for several months and used to be tolerable as it was not every website. Now it has become every website and is impossible to deal with. My roommates computer and my cell phone connect fine. I'm fully connected to the router yet websites don't load. I'm using 10.7.5.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
