Yeah but what do you expect them to ACTUALLY DO...?

If some guy who you have identified is using impersonating you and going around doing illegal things then that's a matter for the Police.

Facebook are pretty responsive in my experience. I report pages/people every now and again and usually get a quick enough response.

They have a significant office in Sydney with some decision makers in it but in New Zealand just a sales outpost in Auckland. 

If you desperately want to talk to a person I suggest Googling their Sydney office and trying them there. Odds of success: zero unless you have a clear idea of what you would actually like them to do on your behalf. Just telling them you've found a bad man is a bit of a meh moment.

One would assume either investigate if the person is exploiting a secutiry loophile, or close the account.

I have been reading about Apple Music removing original music from your computer

Do Not download Apple Music

Here is the original article. https://blog.vellumatlanta.com/2016/05/04/apple-st...

Funny enough, it now maybe user error http://www.imore.com/no-apple-music-not-deleting-t...

When you press delete on a song in your iTunes Library with Apple Music or iTunes Match enabled, you'll see the following dialog:

If you choose "Remove Download," it will send the local file from your hard drive to your Trash, but leave the reference in your library — so that you can stream that track directly from iCloud Music Library. It won't delete the file until you empty your Trash.

This is great if you're on a laptop and want streaming access to your music library, but you don't want the hassle of having 40GB of music on your hard drive. But it should only ever be done on a secondary computer or secondary iTunes Library— never for your master library.

Any experts on here that do car multi media installations including reversing cameras?

Ok, I have a cd stuck in my car cd player which is brand new. The cd and thr player. When I press eject, it sounds like it is about to spit the cd out but then reloads it. Is there a simple fix? Could the installer be able to fix it? Abtec were aweome, cost $90 to get the Jappy Import dvd player removed and my new one in.

Give this a shot LG - link

Dude you are a legend, will have a go at this tomorrow. I would mind it if it was a cool CD in there now. I got Pixels out today more by chance and now the soundtrack to Frozen is stuck in there. Hey my kids love it alright!!

Anyone know of or can recommend anyone to fix a tablet hardware issue? I believe the source of the problem is a 6 wire plug that goes from the battery into the hardware. The battery and USB charging cable are brand new.

HELP as my laptop has crapped out too. 

Codes Anyone with Netflix, do these codes work??

Yes they do. But you need to be watching Netflix through a computer to do them

Anyone got a normal usb cable sbout 12" long that has a male plug at each end? Need one for an external fan for my laptop. Broke the original by accident. Not a micro. 

Help please.

Samsung Galaxy Tablet. When I go on Facebook,  I can only type about 8 letters in a comment or even in a messenger commentary then the words disappear, but I keep those first 8 letters... this is only an issue on the tab,et and must be a setting somewhere. On my Samsung phone the same thing works perfectly.

Sensible Advise please. Sick of the Apple v Android bullshark. Both are good.

Check for updates and if it's all good you could uninstall and re-install it. If it's still bung then there could be a compatibility issue between the app and your tablet? How old is it?

Thanks Surge, 4 years old but my cell phone is older and works fine. Will check when I get home sir.

Can anyone answer a question for me please?

Bought tickets last year for recent Phil Collins gig at The Mission and got in a good position in the queue. Used my mobile phone to log in.

Colleague managed to log in on a work PC and phone for Elton John tickets today and was in after 10 mins wait on phone and PC was still ticking over an hour later.

Do ticketing websites offer a certain bandwidth for mobile devices or is it just luck?

Ok TV aficionados, if you were going to buy a 65" TV  and were given a choice of a Samsung Series 7 Q75R 65" 4k UHD QLED   or an LG UM 76 Series 65" 4k UHD LED Which would you go for? Ignore the price difference as it's close to a grand, but I am purely looking at this from a quality/technical POV.
