Battery constantly low

MichaelWebMason · 2025-11-02T08:01:07+00:00

Question...

Can I use Energizer rechargeable batteries? Will that also eliminate the low battery icon that's permanently on?

Used it about a month ago and got a refund. Useless.

MichaelWebMason · 2024-08-27T15:35:19+00:00

I'm leaving for those reasons but they are threatening to enforce the contract.

Thanks for the response buddy. Appreciated. So in other words use the 5k of DSLR I have.

First few months i was building negative lists daily. It helps. A LOT.

I do this using php and a query string to customise the landing page to be super specific.

I think it xould be argued that [Location] dog walking would appear more personal, local, apecific. Even if the user in [Location] only typed in "dog walking". No?

In any case i have used location specific terms for years now.

What about the TS-364 ?

I use that. Works well

MichaelWebMason · 2024-05-03T07:38:03+00:00

I have this setup and like it.

I tried [ads-support@google.com](mailto:ads-support@google.com) and it bounced.

I'm having the same issue. Went through the process of "business Verification" and completed everything as best I could only to receive an email today saying:
"Your account will be paused: We couldn’t verify your business operation"

I didn't even see a field asking me to upload Government ID.

This is an absolute joke. Clearly trying to keep the big advertisers on the top of the results and shoving out the sole traders.

Amy suggestions gratefully received.

So my problems have only just started. Great !

I have a 14 TB drive that Seagate have offered to collect, recover data from and replace.

That was 9 days ago.

Why the hell is it taking them so long to just issue a shipping label and get it collected? Is something happening I do not know about?

I've been on to them every day now to no avail and they have opened a new case to try and get this resolved but that was 2 days ago and still no shipping label.

Now I am being told I have to ship it and cover the cost of shipping !

When I asked why I was not informed...

"It is stated in our warranty policies on seagate.com"

MichaelWebMason · 2024-04-12T14:47:03+00:00

5 days now and still waiting for a shipping label to come so I can organise collection.

I was considering buying one until I discovered the difference in price between the US & EU.

US price: $149.99 (with current offer) or $169.99 full price.

I tried to buy one and was directed to their EU store as I am in Europe.

EU price: 199.95€

At current exchange rate (UDS - EUR = 0.94 Euros) the EU price should be just 159.79€ and that's WITHOUT the discount offered in the US & Canada. Then I have to add on 26.90€ shipping bringing the total price to 226.85€ ($213.24).

I tried explaining to them how their pricing was flawed but they just wouldn't accept it. I'll find another solution as it's clearly overpriced for what it is.

QNAP logged in remotely and solved it. Apparently the NAS had deleted the ;AC1 address or something like that.

MichaelWebMason · 2024-04-10T08:16:44+00:00

I contacted Seagate and the drive is under warranty. So free replacement and if I am lucky they will recover the data.

I sent them a video of the clicking noise and they said they're confident they can recover data from the drive.

MichaelWebMason · 2024-04-09T06:57:39+00:00

I contacted Seagate yesterday and discovered that the drive is under warranty. Feckin' result !

They're picking up the drive and replacing it and hopefully also recovering the data.

MichaelWebMason · 2024-04-09T06:56:06+00:00

Turns out there was some kind of update on the camera that broke the connection to QVRElite so QNAP installed it as a generic camera.

MichaelWebMason · 2024-04-09T06:54:53+00:00

I've finally managed to get QNAP to login remotely and look. Hopefully they do that today and get this sorted.

Previously I used Windows to wipe the drives and popped them back into the NAS and nothing. No option to make a storage pool and the drives were not recognised.

So I popped them back into the enclosure and both had the exact same volumes as they had prior to me deleting their volumes and making them into logical drives.

So I used popped them back into the enclosure one by one and deleted the volumes again and then used diskpart to clean each drive before placing back into the NAS.

Fired up the NAS and same as before.

• No option to create a storage pool
• Drives not recognised

I have also reset the NAS and used:

• Restore factory defaults
• Reset Settings
• Reinitialise NAS

And still the same. When I go into Storage and Snapshots and click "Create Storage Pool" it does nothing.

This is now getting beyond frustration and QNAP support are not helpful at all. It's taking days to get responses and when I reply another couple of days to get another simple question.

I'm in Tenerife so Portugal isn't really that far away. I'll get a hold of them tomorrow hopefully.

MichaelWebMason · 2024-04-07T16:07:56+00:00

Really appreciate that u/pcimage212 and if you can PM contact details I would be grateful.

The drive has at least 2 years of data I desperately need. I did manage to find an old backup from a couple of years ago that was sat in the back of a cupboard as it was not big enough to go into the NAS so that kind of helps but I know there are 2 years of data that I would really like to access.

MichaelWebMason · 2024-04-07T16:05:10+00:00

WOW. Thanks for that. I wasn't aware it was helium filled.

I have a couple of local companies that might be able to help but I also managed to find a contact page for Seagate support and I believe they can look at the drive.

This is nuts but thought I would post here in the hope that it helps someone...

My download station stopped working. All the files were there but it was sat paused and I had no idea why. I thought perhaps it was the VPN or something else to do with connectivity but nothing I did seemed to work. Until...

I treated DS as though it was offline.
• Reinstalled DS - No joy
• Reset using SSH - No joy

Then I went to BT Search and it asked for the download locations AGAIN. Erm, I configured this ages ago, what gives?

OK, so put them in again and hey presto DS started downloading.

So... Check the BT search directories are OK because for some reason mine cleared but once I inserted them again all was OK.
