Will Sky remove device change limit during Windows 10 migration?
Hi, does anybody know if Sky will remove the device change limit for this month? just upgraded all machines in the house to Windows 10 and it looks like now it ill take 4 months to get the deviecs all registered again, which is not user friendly and show poor planning on Sky's behalf as well as mie for not doing a simple test. Cheers
Hi Zaynz38
I had the same frustration as you and came on here to ask the same question. My frustration was then multiplied because 'super users' kept telling me it's not Sky's fault.
I can confirm I've spoken to Sky at some length about this. Firstly they do support Win10, contrary to what some of the super-users say. Secondly, they can remove limits and they did for me and many other people. Like you I lost use of Sky Go on updated devices but within a few days I managed to get them all restored.
Win10 isn't broken and Sky Go works perfectly with Win10. The only issue is that of the upgrade to Win10 seeing it as a new separate device which isn't a technical fault as such and only became an issue because Sky have a monthly limit.
As I say, Sky recognise that and have lifted the limit for many. Your biggest frustration will be getting someone in customer services who's helpful and willing. Good luck.

Sky Go - device registration limit hit for no apparent reason
Watching golf quite happily on my Samsung galaxy tab until last night when I accessed Skygo and it told me I had too many devices. Nothing had changed in my world so I went to manage devices and saw my tab there. In desperation I removed the tab and then immediately replaced it. I was then told I had to wait a month. Even then, I have no idea if it will recognise the tab. I tried phoning sky help - a really frustrating and useless amount of time spent here- but I do not believe they are capable of changing anything that goes wrong with skygo. They merely hope the problem will disappear in time. If anyone has suffered and perhaps resolved a similar issue, please let me know. Otherwise I feel this might be the final nail in the sky coffin for me.

Sky Go - device registration limit hit by renaming a device
Hi I tried to register my wife's new tablet to sky-go however I was unable to do so as 4 devices were already registered. The manage device feature said that I could remove a device, however the devices were all named the same with the difference of an additional number. So I removed all the devices and wanted to re-register them but renaming as I did so. However once I registered one of the devices and renamed it, I can not register any more devices. I now have 3 free spaces which I can not use for another month. No where on the mange device page did it warn me of this problem. Can you please rectify this error so that I can make full use of my SkyGo package.
We are only allowed to register one device per calander month so you will be able to register a second one tomorrow.

How do I remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu?
So with three separate builds of WTP I've run the PowerShell command to remove Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps. With each build, it also removes the Start Menu. In the thread below, an MS Support person mentioned that that command was only for Windows
8.x and shouldn't be run on WTP. What? Then why is that command still available? And, why will it remove some Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps, but not others? Are they marked as System required? Why isn't the Start Menu marked as System required? You'd
think that the start menu would be pretty important.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/053f63bc-c174-44f1-8f6c-8ead1ad965fb/spartan-and-start-menu-on-10049?forum=WinPreview2014General
So, with the start menu being an XAML app, how do I safely remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu? I have no use for them and don't want them on my computer. Period. There has to be some command like the one we used
in Windows 8.x that will allow use to remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu.
Don't give an answer like "just right-click and uninstall". That doesn't work for all of these things, and do you know how long it takes to do that for all of those silly things? Too long! That's also not practical for an Enterprise desktop. It's
also not practical to leave all of that junk on the desktop, so don't suggest that either.
DanThe problem with PowerShell and all of those scripts is that those particular scripts require a lot of typing, or copy and paste, or having to figure out where all of those apps are stored and then insert their convoluted names into the script. For
me, scripting is like programming. I have no desire to be a programmer/developer.
I just want an option in Programs and Features to be able to turn these "features" off. We were able to do it in previous versions of Windows. If we didn't want Internet Games, we uncheck the box. If we don't want our users to be able to print
documents over the Internet, we uncheck the box. And so on down the line for any other "feature" we didn't want our enterprise users to have.
Or, we could turn those features off using the System Image Manager. Now we have to write some convoluted script with even more convoluted commands for even more convoluted names for things we don't want.
The easier script in Windows 8.x was just get-appxpackages -online | remove-appxpackages. That removed the majority of the apps for an individual user. The remove-appxprovisionedpackage command, with the convoluted name of the app, would remove them from
the hard drive - one app at a time, but that doesn't work in Windows 10.
So, they came up with a DISM command, but that doesn't work in Windows 10 either. I should say that with my limited developer skills I haven't found a way to make it work.
Again, I have no desire to be a developer/scripter. They are the same thing in my book. I'm a systems engineer. I do operating systems, not write applications.

I have a 1st generation apple TV, which was working perfectly until I changed from a Windows PC to a Imac. The Apple TV will not show in Itunes. I have changed the IP address, sub mask and Router IP address. Since changing I have switched everything of and on again. Can anyone help?
I have a new router and computer. I have just remembered that just before my old PC died on me, I transferred my iTunes library to a hard drive. I can't remember exactly just how I got my library back, but there are definately things in my library now that were in my library on my old PC! Hope this makes sense. What do you mean by same location? Do you mean in the same place in the house?
Another difference I have just thought of was my old router was connected directly to the computer bu I have not been able to do this with Sky as my PC is not near a phone socket! Will this make a difference? -
Hello, dear Colleagues.
User with administrators rights cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2.
If to launch "Devices and Printers" on server, all printer properties on "Advanced" tab are inactive (see screen below).
But I can change it manually with "Print Management". Features become active.
The main purpose - to uncheck "Enable advanced printing features" with powershell
scripts.
$erroractionpreference = "continue"
$colPrinters = Get-Wmiobject -Class win32_printer -computername print_server -Filter "Name like 'printer1' or Name like 'printer2' or Name like 'printer3' or Name like 'printer4' or Name like 'printer5' or Name like 'printer6'" # get printers on server and filter with names
ForEach ($objPrinter in $colPrinters) { # get printer details from WMI
If ($objPrinter.RawOnly -ne "True") { # check that Advanced printing fetaures is turned on
Write-host $objPrinter.Name
Write-Host $objPrinter.RawOnly
$objPrinter.RawOnly = "True" # Untick and update the object in WMI
$objPrinter.Put()
It works on Windows 7 workstation, but does not on print server Windows Server 2012 R2 with error
Exception calling "Put" with "0" argument(s): "Generic failure "
At \\print_server\c$\DisableAdvancedPrintingFeatures.ps1:8 char:17
+ $objPrinter.Put()
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
Can you help me with that? Look like somethings with rights.
Thank you.Hello, Alan
Morris.
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried to runs PS Script both locally and remotely, previously running Powershell ISE as Administrator.
I've noticed interesting thing - if to
check "Enable advanced printing features"
manually thru Print Management snap-in, script works fine. But, time to time after some manipulations on print server, this advanced feature returns to enabled state automatically by system, I think. In this case PS Script does not work. Next, if to disable
feature manually again (thru Print Management snap-in),
and enable manually again, PS Script will work. Very strange situation.
Thanks. -
Hi All,
I'm just getting into the Application model in SCCM 2012 R2 and I like what I see so far, but i'm running into an issue. When i set up an Application for WMF 3.0 with a prerequisite of .Net 4.0 and deploy it to a set of test systems that do not have
any maintenance windows applied to it, it works great. If it doesn't have .Net 4.0 it installs both that and WMF 3.0 and reboots. If it already has .Net 4.0, it will skip that and just install WMF 3.0 and reboot.
However, if i deploy it to systems that have a maintenance window applied, the application recognizes that it needs .Net and WMF 3.0 or just WMF 3.0, but it never actually runs.
Here is the applicable entry from the appintenteval.log, and i've bolded the line where it shows that WMF 3.0 is not installed

I'm not sure what else to try next and appreciate any help anyone can offer.Thanks. I checked that setting and i have it set to false, so i don't think that's it.
I've done a little more experimenting. I've changed my maintenance window back to 30 minutes. Prior to the MW opening, i'll run an application evaluation deployment cycle on the system. It will show the system as required WMF 3.0 but since
the MW isn't open, it won't install at the time.
When the MW opens, i'll watch the ServiceWindowManager.log and it sees that it's a 30 minute MW and that the run time is 15 minutes but it still says the program can't run:

This is not the behavior i would expect. I would think that if the client knows it has a pending application deployment that is required, when the MW opened up, it would start the install immediately or close to the beginning of the MW. It shouldn't
need to have an application evaluation deployment cycle kicked off during the MW. -

How do I unsync email so deleting from one device will not remove it from all devices?
Sounds like you have an IMAP/Exchange mail account (vice a POP3 account). By design, an IMPA/Exchange account synchronized your mail boxes among different devices. That behavior can't be changed.

Cheers,

I've found that certain apps that I desire require a certain iOS level, so to speak. However, I have been hesitant to sync my itouch (3rd generation) to itunes to upgrade, mainly because it warns me that my media will be removed. Most of the music on my device has come from CDs which I have downloaded onto my itouch and not from itunes, so the music is not on my itunes itself. Since I do not fully comprehend what "syncing" my itouch to my computer will do, I would like to be certain that if I do sync my device all media will be removed. If this is the case, then I must persue ways to back that music up before I proceed with the syncing. If you could let me know as much information about this as possible, I would be truly grateful. Thank you.
You will probably lose the music.
Why is it not on your computer?

My ipad does not communicate with my iphone on one of my email accounts and will not remove deleted emails that are done on the iphone and vice versa, what setting needs to be changed?
It's my understanding that an iPhone can only sync with one computer. You need to choose one computer. Sounds like it syncs at work, but not at home. If you want to just sync it at home, then you have to make sure the home computer has all the info that you want on it, like music etc. Then you have to deauthorize the work computer for it to sync at home. When you connect it will ask if you want to set up as a new iPhone or restore from backup. If you don't have a backup on the home computer then either way you will be wiped clean. So any photos, contacts, notes etc you have will be erased. You would need to backup or copy your photos from your iPhone. When you connect it to your home computer, it will give you that popup message to open your iPhone files. Then you can copy those photos and save them onto your computer and sync them back in through iTunes.
For your contacts, do you use any type of address book? If so you'll want to back that up and then transfer to your home computer. For notes, you can just email those to yourself and then save that email. I use MobileMe so the contacts issue is easily resolved.
