Will BT own up responsibility and compensate for E...

Hi,
In late January I noticed that I don't get a dial tone on my landline. Immediately I looked on BT forums and elsewhere for DIY advice. So finally I reported a fault with BT on Sat, 02-Feb. providing all the necessary details. I had been tracking the fault on BT's website.
I received a call on Sat, 09-Feb. advising that I follow few steps as mentioned on some official BT DIY video and if the fault still persists then I will receive a call to fix an appointment for a engineer visit. As I was away from home, I checked the video later in the week and followed the instructions in the video which didn't resolve the issue. I continued to search on community forums and other places. I even bought a new phone.
In the meantime, I received no follow-up call to check if the fault still persists or has been resolved or is an engineer's visit necessary. On top of that, on 18-Feb., I was absolutely shocked to see the fault was marked as 'Resolved', when? How? Who did? Who confirmed? Absolutely no idea. I found no link to re-open it or report this utter lie to any higher authority. So I reported the same fault again on 18-Feb. providing the reference number of the original fault.
Apparently, the same checks were done again over a course of several days with obviously same results. I don't understand as to why. What a waste of time, when infact it was practically the same fault. Then I receive a call on 23-Feb. to fix an appointment for an engineer's visit which due to scheduling is fixed for 04-Mar afternoon slot.
To my utter shock which left me livid, there is no show by the engineer. My wife had to take a day off from work for the visit by the engineer. I received a call next day from BT saying they had resourcing issue and hence couldn't fulfil the commitment. This is not acceptable. A whole working day was wasted in waiting. An annual holiday was wasted for nothing. An apology is just not enough.
Had it the otherway round that for some reason, even if emergency, would BT accept my apology and not charge me for wasting the engineers time? Oh no, their policy means I will be charged if I am not available. I wonder how only customer's never have a policy or t&c's.
An engineer visit on the following Saturday did subsequently resolve the fault.
I would like some action be taken for the miss-handling the fault report(I had to report the same twice). I would like BT to compensate for their shoddy customer service. A working day holiday was wasted not to mention over a month for seemingly simple issue.

    If you have multiple devices backing up to the Cloud, you will see all of them listed. You would click on each device to change what is backed up from that device. You can then delete your individual back-ups.
    Once you have all your settings to your liking, you can then go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, and click on Back Up Now (bottom of the screen) to create a fresh backup with your new settings.

    It seems like purchasing Pages, Numbers and Keynote Seperately for my Mac Computers and then again for my iOS 5 Devices ads up to about $100, though iWork costs more as a whole, what would be the key advantages in purchasing iWork not from the app store?

  • I use a program called RoboForm2Go that will fill in user names and passwords for me when I open a site and now that option is not available in the taskbar at the top. How can I use that feature again?

    I save the RoboForm2Go program on a flash drive and when I opened a site that I had saved the user name and password, the RoboForm2Go would show up in the taskbar with the site I opened so I could just click on it and it would automatically fill in the info for me.

    Under View>/toolbars, I don't have an option to choose RoboForm Toolbar. When I initially set up the program, I was using Internet Explorer and I can go to the taskbar at the bottom and choose RoboForm but then whatever site I was opening in Firefox will now open in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. The old version of Firefox would display the RoboForm toolbar at the top.

  • I am looking for a app that will allow me to build and form for staff review then log it back to a main computer across mutiple users

    Please help, 
    The app that I need is one that firstly build and set of question into a form,  then allow other staff member to fill in the answers and then generate a report back to a centre database for review. 
    Also within this app if it is able to GPS locate where the form has been filled out and if possible a time tracker for wages.   All of these need to be then place in a report and sent back to a person or manager.
    The company I work for is looking to use this to replace some very old tech. 
    So when need it to be able to hold multiple different forms to fill in, track two different pay rates and log a GPS location on the forms. 

    I recommend that instead of working on an iPad application you get a good web programmer in and set up a web-facing system that can be used from anything with a web browser --  an iPad, a smartphone, a laptop or a desktop.  Then your employees can access the system from any computer with a web browser, and you don't need to employ an expensive specialist programmer to produce a system which is useless for devices made by other manufacturers.  The only requirement for use will be that your devices must in range of either WiFi or a phone signal.
    It will also mean that if you need to change your software at any time you only have to change one copy, back at headquarters, rather than update an App on every individual iPad.
    Apple's web browsers (including the ones built into iDevices) allow a web site to request the user's location, so people using an iPad should be able to do the things you have asked for.

  • Advantages and disadvantages for having the central purchasing organization

    Hi all,
    Cud neone list out the advantages and disadvantages of having central purchasing organization.
    and what is the best practice of selecting the puchasing organization.
    Thanks

    Hi
    <i><b>Cud neone list out the advantages and disadvantages of having central purchasing organization.</b></i>
    Rather than asking for the advantages and disadvantages it will be helpful if u see why the functionality of having the purchase organisation centrally and decentralised has been provided in SAP. I hope u have seen the help file in ur SAP about purchase organisation.
    The point u can note down which will be of importance is <b><i>Each purchasing organization has its own info records and conditions for pricing.</i></b> if u go for the centralised purchasing organisation say in company code u have three plants and purchasing organisation is for all theree plants, then the conditions and inforecords holds for all the thrre plants. If u go for the decentralised say for each plant different purchse organisation then each plant has its own inforecords and conditions. This is upto the business requirement which u should select.
    Similarly u can use this logic for the following cases
    Each purchasing organization has its own info records and conditions for pricing.
    Each purchasing organization has its own vendor master data.
    Each purchasing organization evaluates its own vendors using MM Vendor Evaluation.
    Authorizations for processing purchasing transactions can be assigned to each purchasing organization.
    All items of an external purchasing document, that is, request for quotation, purchase order, contract, or scheduling agreement, belong to a purchasing organization.
    The purchasing organization is the highest level of aggregation (after the organizational unit "client") for purchasing statistics.
    The purchasing organization serves as the selection criterion for lists of all purchasing documents.
    Here u can apply the logic and see how centralised and decentralise purchasing organisation effects. Whethe u want the data should be applicable for all plants then go for centralised if not go for decenralised.
    <i><b>what is the best practice of selecting the puchasing organization.</b></i>
    I think there is no best practice as such and it depends on how u r company business works.
    I welcome the comments from experts if there is any best practice.
    Thanks

  • I have iTunes installed on a laptop that I use for work, but it's owned by my employer.  A new policy my have them deleting iTunes from the machine.  If that happens, will I lose all my music?  I am an iCloud user and pay for iTunes match.

    If they just delete iTunes, the music files should still be there. I suggest making a backup of them though. Locate your iTunes folder (The one that contains your library file) and just copy the whole thing to your Documents folder or wherever you like (Just not in the same directory of the original folder otherwise the computer will get confused and could confuse your iTunes library). Then you will have a backup of all your music, plus if you purchased it from iTunes, you will still have it linked to your Apple ID so you can re-download them to any computer with iTunes on it when you feel like it.

    There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that.  You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

    If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
    If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
    Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
    SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
    Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

    Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
    If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

    I would appreciate it if someone could advise me as to the optimum resolution, dimensions and dpi for actual photographic slides that I am scanning for use in a Keynote Presentation, that will be projected in a large auditorium. I realize that most projectors in auditoriums that I will be using have 1024 x 1200 pixels, and possibly 1600 x 1200. There is no reference to this issue in the Keynote Tutorial supplied by Apple, and I have never found a definitive answer to this issue online (although there may be one).
                Here’s my question: When scanning my photographic slides, what setting, from 72 dpi to 300 dpi, would result in the best image quality and use up the most efficient amount of space? 
                Here’s what two different photo slide scanning service suppliers have told me: 
    Supplier No. 1 tells me that they can scan slides to a size of 1544 x 1024 pixels, at 72 dpi, which will be 763 KB, and they refer to this as low resolution (a JPEG). However, I noticed when I looked at these scanned slides, the size of the slides varied, with a maximum of 1.8 MB. This supplier says that the dpi doesn’t matter when it comes to the quality of the final digital image, that it is the dimensions that matter.  They say that if they scanned a slide to a higher resolution (2048 x 3072), they would still scan it at 72 dpi.
    Supplier No. 2: They tell me that in order to have a high quality image made from a photographic slide (starting with a 35 mm slide, in all cases), I need to have a “1280 pixel dimension slide, a JPEG, at 300 dpi, that is 8 MB per image.” However, this supplier also offers, on its list of services, a “Standard Resolution JPEG (4MB file/image – 3088 x 2048), as well as a “High Resolution JPEG (8 MB file/image – 3088x2048).
    I will be presenting my Keynotes with my MacBook Pro, and will not have a chance to try out the presentations in advance, since the lecture location is far from my home, so that is not an option. 
    I do not want to use up more memory than necessary on my laptop.  I also want to have the best quality image. 
    One more question: When scanning images myself, on my own scanner, for my Keynote presentations, would I be better off scanning them as JPEGs or TIFFs? I have been told that a TIFF is better because it is less compressed. 
    Any enlightenment on this subject would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    When it comes to Keynote, I try and start with a presentation that's 1680 x 1050 preset or something in that range.  Most projectors that you'll get at a conference won't project much higher than that and if they run at a lower resolution, it's better to have the device downsize your Keynote.  Anything is better than having the projector try and upsize your presentation... you work hard to make it look good, and it's mangled by some tired Epson projector.
    As far as slides go, scan them in at 150 dpi or better, and make them at least the dimensions of your presentation.  Keynote is really only wanting 72dpi, but I do them at 150, just in case I need to print out the presentation as a handout later, and having the pix at 150 dpi gives me a little help with their quality on a printer.
    You'd probably have to drop in the 150 versions again if you output the Keynote to .pdf or Word or something, but at least you have the option.
    And Gary's right (above) go ahead and scan them as TIFFs.  Sooner or later you'll want to do something else with these slides (like make something for an iPad or the like) and having them as TIFFs keeps your presentation looking good.
    Finally, and this is a big one, get to the location for your presentation ahead of time if you can, and plug the laptop in and see what you get.  There's always connection problems. Don't let the AV bonehead tell you everything will work just fine ('... I don't have any adapters for a Mac...') .  See it for yourself... you're the one that's standing up there.  Unless it's your boss, then you better be really sure it works.

  • Need to create and adjustment layer to compensate for undesirable hue caused by lens

    I’m looking for some help to set up an adjustment layer to compensate for a specific lens colouration issue. Basically I’m using a GoPro (on a drone) but I have fitted an aftermarket flat lens. Sharpness is good, but the lens has a well known issue – it results in pink hue around the edges/corners. Most of the time it is barely noticeable, other times it jumps out. It also depends on the monitor I am using eg. my TV seems to bring it out a lot more than my laptop.
    Here is an example - look around 0:35 to 0:40 http://vimeo.com/117790732
    And to try get an idea of where the issue is on the frame, I picked an example image of frost covered grass, very early in the morning. I then cranked up the saturation to 100% and this is what it looks like:
    I would like to be able to compensate for this. Presumably this should done with an adjustment layer made in Photoshop which I can then import into Premier Pro. Can anyone advise as to how I do that?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jacques

    Hi Trevor
    Thanks for your reply. I did what you suggested and created 2 masked adjustment layers which are basically concentric rings with differing levels of magenta reduction and I then feathered the edges. I have attached 2 images below to show the before and after effect. I’m working on getting this more accurate and I’m also going to look into the technique posted by Normfb. Big thanks to you Trevor for suggesting this – this is all quite new to me and it was very useful to play around with these adjustments layers, masks etc.

  • I have multiple devices (imacs, lap tops and ipads) all connected to a NAS server.  Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife, and each have our own apple ID, and Itunes accounts, but all share the same media on NAS drives?

    I have multiple devices (iMacs, Lap tops, Ipads) all connected to a Nas Drive.  Can I create a user for myself and one for my wife and we each have our own apple ID's, Itunes etc, but share the same data on the hard drives?  So when she logs in, and sync's her ipads, they will sync with her stuff and when I do the same under my user account, on the same device, my ipads will sync with my stuff?

    You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs.  (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.)  This will prevent you from ending up with merged data.  You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.
