What is you current turnaround time? I'm also at about 28 hours or so with no response...

I got a response! I have to say, I'm really impressed with the work. I definitely feel like I could use the service regularly for research tasks which didn't require urgent attention. – kiwitobes, on September 13, 2008 17:38

Ha! Indeed :) Don't worry- I wasn't going to cheat- just wanted wanted to make sure the task was at least making its way through the system. We're still working out the kinks on the technical side of things, not to mention the human workflow!

Thanks for giving us a try.

That would kind of be cheating wouldn't it? I'm excited about the service and am trying to see if it's appropriate for important tasks. I want to be able to submit a task and know that it will happen (or at least be notified if there will be a delay) without having to complain in a public forum :)

I'm really interested in personal outsourcing, but my experience with GetFriday was lackluster.

Hey there. Generally speaking we'll have most tasks handled within about 24 hours, but we have had an unexpected surge these past two days.

Please drop a quick note to support at having things done dot com and let me know which task you're referring to- I'll make sure it gets handled promptly!

29 hours and counting with no feedback...

I bought 60 minutes and submitted a task, giving it 30 minutes, which I thought was a reasonable amount of time.

The status simply says "In Progress". I haven't heard anything. I don't think I could use a service for anything important if I have no idea when it will be completed, nor do I even really know if it's been assigned to anyone.

switch everything off from the main power supply, plug everything in wait ten seconds and switch on again. Wait for you ATV to reset. This cured my problem which was similar - only with HDMI.

Sound no longer works on my Apple TV

I have my Apple TV connected to my Yamaha receiver through the optical port. It was working fine until yesterday, when the audio suddenly stopped working. I've checked the connections, and I don't remember changing any settings.

The display on my receiver still indicates that I have a digital audio connection, but there is no sound.

I also tried my DVD player to confirm that it wasn't the receiver, and the audio on that works fine.

Just wanted to say thanks!

This is a fantastic way to ask questions to companies that traditionally don't do anything about customer service, particularly the faster growing internet companies like Google or Facebook.

We had an issue that we thought was with Google had been frustrating us for months, which we posted and got a response almost immediately:

There are a lot of experts on the way these companies work who don't necessarily work inside but pay close attention to everything that's written.
