Homer Thompson Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Got a message from FB saying someone tried to log into my FB and gave an IP address. Is there a way of locating exactly or roughly where the attempt was made using this? It said it was from near Drumchapel (I'm from EK) so it probably isn't just a dodgy location setting. If you've got the ip address you can use a site like this but it will probably give you the same info. It will tell you what network the IP is on but not an exact location 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what it looks like, there's every chance it was me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Anyone backed up phone contacts to iCloud? Backed them up to my current iPhone but ordering a new one so wondering if I just need to sign in to iCloud on the new one and the contacts will be there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) The second round Scottish Cup draw is getting streamed live on Periscope at 2 pm, so I downloaded the app. Do you find the feed just by waiting for it to appear on the map of Glasgow? Can't see another way of searching for it. P.S. Never mind, I'll probably never use it anyway. Didn't need it to watch the draw.

jimmy boo Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Don't know if this is a quick question but.....Mrs Boo has been fannying about with my new laptop(Windows 10) and has somehow set herself up as administrator so on switching on it comes up with her name, email address and password giving access to my previous settings. I've added myself as another user(!!) but have no settings or favourites and can't be arsed going through all that again. I've had a search but can't find a way to reverse this. Prior to her meddling it would come up with my first name and no password was required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 It sounds like she's amended the profile rather than creating a new one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarley Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Have a look at Settings > accounts. See if you can set the name back to you and in "sign in" options set it back to local account thus removing her email 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers though;) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Have got a new smart TV and it turns itself off. Usually this happens within a couple of minutes of the TV going on but quite often it will just go off willy nilly. Has anyone eve experienced this with a new TV? Before someone says about maybe the setting maybe being to go off after a certain time if theres no activity it is set to go off after 4 hours so it won't be that, plus the turning off seems to be at irregular intervals. Sometimes it goes off then when it comes back on it is much louder than before. Someone is standing outside your window with a one4all remote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Sometimes I wish people would stop being silly In a more serious answer then, have you looked to see if there is a software/firmware update available? Sometimes smart TVs need an update straight out of the box, much like other modern technology. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I don't even know how to check that!! Surely it wouldn't result in the TV switching off if it needed an update though?! It may be a fault in the original software though, hence the update! What kind of telly is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
