You need to return your kit - What?

Hello,
Just writing because I have just got an email from BT that says "Hello Mr xxx, We're sorry you no longer need your BT equipment..." The subject is: "You need to return your kit"
I have not cancelled my services with BT, so why did I get this email?
My line was disconected in error 7 months ago and it seems that I will have the same problem again!
If anyone could let me know what is the problem that would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Sergio

  • What peripherals do you need to turn your iPhone into a conference room speakerphone?

    What peripherals do you need to turn your iPhone into a conference room speakerphone system?
    If you buy a separate conference mic and a speaker, can they somehow work together off the iPhone headphone jack like a huge set of group earphones?  What if you want to connect 2 mics and a speaker?
    Do you have to be very careful that they can all be attached somehow at the same time?
    Are there reasonably priced conference room speakerphone peripherals the work well together that you would recommend?

    Why don't you contact Apple and find out?  Certainly if you can find your way around the internet to have been able to find this forum, you can certainly find the number for AppleCare.

  • Error message - "You need to restart your computer". With Kernel Panic Logs. Please help identify the problem.

    Hi, just now my computer just popped out an error message saying that "You need to restart your computer". I was able to power the iMac back (and i'm typing from my iMac). I did some research about it and it has something to do with the kernel panic..either hardware or software. Since i was able to power back my iMac, i supposed it was software-related problem? Here's the log from /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/
    I'm sorry it was quite long and i have no idea how to attach the text file which i have saved. What could be the problem here? And any suggestions to avoid this from happening again? My heart skipped a beat just now.. Hopefully it was no something serious such as hardware problems..
    thank you!

  • My Imac says "you need to restart your computer" after logging out and click on sleep. 10.6.8?

    My Imac recently gives a message "you need to restart your computer"  after logging out and clicking "sleep".  After a few seconds, gray screeen will roll down and give that messasge.  I disconnected  USB cable from my  printer.  Today,  after turning it on,  the log in screen showed then after 2 seconds the gray screen rolled down again and prompted "you need to restart the computer". I've read the apple communities about kernel panics but to no success. I have a 10.6.8, 2.7 ghz, 4GB.  This is the error that showed which I reported to apple mutiple times already.

    What is going on with this error?

    It hasn't been acting up since I:
    1) Since I unplug my all in one printer with wifi (Hewlett Packard).  I barely use the printer and it keeps cleaning out the jets and wasting my **** ink.  Plus it'll do a loud self test @ 3:00 in the morning & by this time, I pulled my baseball bat from under the bed and ready to smash some skulls in the office room thinking its a burglar.
    But seriously it stop doing it. 
    This is a late reply but confirmed after 7 months.
    Note:  I shut down instead of sleep my Imac now because I hardly use it.

    Firstly, I'd disconnect the USB Ethernet device you are using.  Secondly, I'd boot into safe mode to see if the panic is being caused by VM Fusion's extensions.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics.

  • "you need to restart your Imac"

    I don't turn off my Imac that much and I keep getting this message after 5-6 days.
    "you need to restart your computer. hold down the power button until it turns off"
    It's very annoying while gaming since I die at bosses and lose my stuff etc....
    I've sent in the report like 12 times last 2 months, someone have any idea what I can do?
    The imac is not  that old, maybe 5 months.

  • "You need to restart your computer" message keeps appearing

    After am done with my computing session, and try to shut down my computer often times, this being the 7th, the machine will not shut down but instead it will display the message "You need to restart your computer...". After i do the restart, a message appears says something like: Mac OS X failed unexpectedly. The problem is that the OS has not failed unexpectedly; i tell it to shut down but it doesn't. Would anybody have a clue as to what is causing this problem?
    Notes:
    No non-native software has been installed
    Have not renamed system folders
    Thanks guys!

    Please help me interpret my panic.logs.

  • Trying to recover from constant kernel panics 'You need to restart your...'

    Since last night I've been having major problems with my MBP. After installing some software on my Windows 7 Bootcamp partition, and following a restart, I got a kernel panic and the message "You need to restart your computer.." in 5 languages, and the screen would freeze.
    Disconcertingly the desktop video was totally screwed up - the best way I can describe it is that a looked like a really, really bad 8-bit display, with huge blocky pixels.
    Multiple attempts at pressing and holding the power button, then restarting, simply replicated the problem. In the end I was eventually able to boot up using a superduper clone. I decided to reformat the MBP HDD and copy the clone over. However, during the process the screensaver came on and froze the system, so I had to restart and repeat the process, this time switching off energy saver preferences and the screensaver.
    So I'm back up and running (for now). I'm about to restore my energy preferences and test out the screen saver. Fingers crossed, but in the meantime, has anyone else come across an issue like this?
    I've got 3rd party RAM installed, have had it for over a year, so not sure if this is the problem (hasn't been so far). As part of my initial troubleshooting I tried resetting PRAM but this had no discernible effect, other than to make the patchy block video more uniform (if that makes sense?)
    I haven't tried the Apple Hardware Test yet, just got to find my original disks! Spec of MBP as per signature below.
    Lastly, after I restored my system a browser window appeared, pointing to a file in my system library which contained the following:
    # File lib/activerecord/connection_adapters/postgresqladapter.rb, line 116
    def quote(value, column = nil)
    if value.kind_of?(String) && column && column.type == :binary
    "'#{escape_bytea(value)}'"
    else
    super
    end
    end
    Any views / comments / tips greatly appreciated.

    Sorry for the lengthy post, but I wanted to post exactly what came up when I was luckily able to surpass the grey screen. I don't know what to do, and I can't find the startup disk that came with the computer 3 years ago.
    HELP please!!!

  • " You need to restart your computer, hold down...."

    My daughters iBook G4 1.33MHz Power Pc running 10.4.11
    She keeps getting the blackscreen message " You need to restart your computer, Hold down.....etc. " This has been done several times but returns about 10 minutes later. Keen to save the computer if possible, so I would be grateful for any advice.
    Thank you
    Mike

    Mike:
    Your daughter's computer is having what is called a kernel panic. This can be either hardware or software based, although, more often hardware than software. RAM is one of the most frequent offenders followed by the Airport Express card. If you have installed additional RAM, remove the module you installed and boot without it and see if the KP returns. You can do the same with the Airport card. There are other possibilities, but that's where I would begin. Dr. Smoke's FAQ Resolving Kernel Panics has more information and troubleshooting tips. After you have checked these out please do post back with further questions or comments.

  • On startup: "You need to restart your computer. Hold down ..."

    When I start up from system folder 10.4.3 on hard disk, I get this message:
    "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Poweer button for several seconds or press the Restart button."
    When I do this, my eMac restarts but returns to this very same message.
    I did recently fix disk permissions using Hard Disk Utility. Tech Tools program reports no failures.
    How can I restart my computer?

    Find some body that can download and and burn you a copy of techtool 3.0.4 contact micromat and see if they know of a way to roll back a repair. Diskwarrior might help. There again check for the version number compatibility. Utilities are not like they use to be on OS9 and below; here you could use a version designed for lower OS and get by using it.
    Todays utilities are based on the operating system themselves. There was a Major change in the version of UNIX used in OS X.3 and X.4 previously they used BSD (Berkley Systems Development) originated my Berkley University. Apple had to pay a Royalty payment for each copy sold. OSX uses FreeBSD UNIX which originally started from BSD UNIX; but, was taken over by the General UNIX community under a License like Mozilla uses for FIreFox and others. Anyway it can be used Royalty free. What's better is FreeBSD is constantly being improved literally daiyly; and therefore is much improved.
    I digress. because of these differences the utilities must be written for the differences in code. And what worked on one doesn't on the other.

  • Can't get past a grey "you need to restart your computer screen"

    Hello,
    I have a few month old iMac 27" i7 quad core for music use and did an update this morning which consisted of an itunes update and update to the screen firmware and two other things I can't remember. Do the usual install and restart business and am now met with the following error:

    This is on the grey screen with the multi lingual "you need to restart your computer message"
    Holding shift on startup bypasses the screen and allows me to eject the disk and boot in safe mode or whatever it's called but the bar down the bottom fills up and I'm just left with the rotating bars and the apple logo.
    I have tried a few different suggestions I have found on other threads about holding a certain key to start in safe mode or something to that effect but nothing has worked.
    I have inserted the OSX install dvd that came with the computer and restarted but that did nothing and now I cannot eject it.
    I have backed up a lot of the stuff on there but it will be a huuuuuge inconvenience if I lose the data on this thing.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Stephen

    This is called a "kernel panic" (the multi-lingual restart screen). Solving them can be tricky. From the sounds of it, you can probably rule out hardware, but you probably have pretty severe system damage, probably caused by bad hard drive damage. But without more information, it's hard to say. Try looking over [the X Lab FAQ on resolving kernel panics|http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html].

Maybe you are looking for
