4:3 Menu and DVR Storage

OK. I just switched to FIOS TV, Internet, and Phone....for the most part I am very happy. However, I have two major complaints and I hope Verizon is working to resolve these issues!
1. The program guide simply sucks. It's 4:3, difficult to navigate and read. Where the heck is a 16:9 format version for my LCD HD TV?
2. The storage capacity on the DVR is crazy. After recording just 3 shows the DVR said it was 40% full. What the heck? will I only get about 10 HD shows on this thing?
Outside of the above, the picture quality is great and the internet is awesome. I switched from DirecTV and the DVR rocked compared to what Verizon is giving you. These are two major disappointments and I really hope Verizon is working on a firmware upgrade that will at least give me the ability to add an external HDD and a guide that's actualy readable in 16:9 format. 

hotzorro, 
I guess I don't understand; if you are a picture freak, why do you care about the guide? Aren't you watching the TV to watch the actual program, not the guide?
I have zero interest in Verizon making any changes to the guide, other than to improve the accuracy of the content, which for me is the most important improvement Verizon could make to the entire FiOS system. I look at the guide to see what is on so I can pick an actual program to watch or record. The way the guide appears on the screen, and the time span I can view, works just fine for me as it is (and I suspect many hundreds of thousands of others). You say it is simple to fix, maybe it is you that thinks you know what they're talking about when they don't....changing it will take resources and time, both of which I think can be spent more effectively doing something else (almost anything else IMHO).
Just my $.02 worth....

  • I have nothing on this macbook air just iPhoto and iTunes and the error startup dic full message keeps coming up and the storage is full of other i don't know what to do.

    i have nothing on this macbook air just iPhoto and iTunes and the error startup dic full message keeps coming up and the storage is full of other i don't know what to do.how do i delete all of this?

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
    You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Software opens in menu and dock but not on screen, can't use any of it.

    I am the administrator and my husband is a user with limited access to system preferences. On Thursday my side of the computer has gone crazy. It worked in the morning. The electric meter was replaced on my house in the afternoon which may have caused a power surge. On Friday when I turned it on I got a message that my time and date was not correct and that some software might act weird because the date was before 2001. I tried opening system preferences to correct the date. It showed open in the menu and in the dock but never opened on the screen so I had no access to it. The hated beach ball spun forever. All of the software I have tried to open does the same thing. They won't force quit. I have to manually turn off the computer and when I turn it back on they have been shut down.
    If I log in as my husband, the software all works but I don't have access to my documents. I can't change the clock because he isn't authorized to change most of the preferences. The clock apparently isn't the reason that my software is misbehaving because it is working on his side.
    If you can recommend any fixes I will try them if I understand them. I did run disc utility from his side and it said everything is fine. Looking forward to some help so that I can avoid turning it over to a repair shop.
    Sincerely,
    Gail L.

    You can probably install it into a working computer as a second drive. Typically that just involves opening the computer, and plugging in a power supply and data connection. Unless you already have two drives in the computer, there should be unused connectors available. You'll recognize them because they should be chained with the connections to the drive that's already there. If you touch anything inside the computer be sure to ground yourself first to avoid the rare possibility of a static discharge which could damage sensitive electronics.
    You can also buy a converter to use an internal drive as an external drive. Might be too pricy just to attempt some data recovery, but if the hardware itself is still good you might consider ultimately reformatting the old corrupted drive and using it as extra storage space.
    Either of those options would probably preclude the necessity of a target mode boot, since the drive ought to show up and your data be available. Target mode would be a way to access the old computer as if it were an external drive.
    Interestingly, the Mac Geniuses claimed they had the same problem as you, that the old computer would freeze when they tried to copy data. I don't know what they were doing, but I had no problems when I used the firewire target mode. In my case, the drive was OK, but the mother board was supposedly bad. Your situation might be different, so what worked great for me may not help in your case.

  • Guide and DVR buttons don't work

    More than half the time, when I choose Guide or DVR, I get nothing at all for about 30 seconds, and then I get an ad. Then I have to exit and try again to get what I wanted. I am SICK of this. Verizon makes it so hard to get help that I gave up. Does anyone know a fix?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Threecoldnoses,
    The way to get rid of the full screen ads that disrupt the pathway to the Guide and DVR is:
    Menu > Settings > Television > Interactive TV > Disable > OK
    Menu > Settings > Television > Recommendations > Turn Off > OK > Exit
    I think that the second one is the one that actually does it, but I don't miss the on-screen interactive stuff that pops up on channels like CNN and History either.

  • I have two sets of bookmarks, one under "Bookmarks Toolbar" and one under "Bookmarjs Menu," and they are not totally similar. What's going on?

    I use Bookmarks toolbar. When I want to save a site, the browser asks which folder to place it in; however I have two somewhat different sets of bookmarks that Firefox stores, and I'm never sure which set is the one being saved to. I have only one profile, checked that. Firefox 4.0 is an upgrade from 3.6.16.

    * The Bookmarks Toolbar folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the (View > Toolbars >) Bookmarks Toolbar.
    * The Bookmarks Menu folder stores bookmarks that you see in the Bookmarks menu and create via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or "Bookmark This Link" in the right click context menu.
    * The Unsorted Bookmarks folder stores that bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.
    Clicking the star in the location bar will bookmark the page in the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and the star turns yellow (blue on Mac) to show that.<br />
    Bookmarks > "Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl+D or use Alt+B) will bookmark the page in the Bookmarks Menu folder (you need to confirm that).

  • I have just downloaded a trial version of Photoshop Elements onto my Mac Book Pro (10.9.4) and attempted to use Elements on an existing Photoshop file.  I did not see the Elements option in my filter menu and need assistance

    I have just downloaded a trial version of Photoshop Elements onto my Mac Book Pro (10.9.4).  The installation to my hard drive went fine so I attempted to use Elements on an existing Photoshop file.  I did not see the Elements option in my filter menu and am uncertain as to how to "add" the Elemnts to my existing filter choices.  Please advise.

    I'm sorry but it's very hard to understand what you mean. What filter menu? In which program? Do you mean you're trying to use PSE as an external editor with some other asset management program? Which one?

  • Workflow without 'save as' and huge storage consumption.

    I use Aperture & photoshp daily. Aperture no longer has 'save as' .. Photoshop hasn't, as yet followe suit, I am told. Very concerned about workflow changes incurring more complexity, more steps and hughe storage waste.
    Current work flow: I open one of the apps, then an image, initiate a bunch of edits, 'save as' my final desired result. I now have 2 files, the UNTOUCHED original and the edited second image.
    Several calls to Apple. They are not sure how the missing 'save as' works into this work flow, do not know how many more steps will be needed and how mush more complex. They did say, for the first time, now you have to check out each program to see how it's 'save as' concept will work... I guess and try to remember them all. WOW! 
    Also, with the 'versions' concept and processing raw images, instead of 2 files residing in memory at the end of the multiple edits, there will be a version for each edit step meaning there could be like 20, 50, even more huge files ... not wanted, not needed but consuming huge amounts of storage.
    It was finally decided there had to be a way to purge all those unnecessary files to win back storage space. More work and how?
    Their final assessment, you may not be able to proceed with Lion... with the future Mac's ongoing OS. I guess all photographers are at a loss then. Sad.
    Is this hopefully just a bad dream??

    The new Autosave/Versions paradigm is ideal for the situation you describe as “Current work flow”. It’s not a bit more complicated, it’s safer, and — if you can get past the fact that it is different from what you are used to — it is more logical. What you are doing is creating a new, modified copy of the original. So, open the original and Duplicate (File > Duplicate). That creates a new copy that you can edit, but it is treated like a new file, so when you close it, you get a Save As dialog. Or you can save it manually at any time just like any new file. No extra steps — just Duplicate at the beginning instead of Save As at the end.
    I said it is safer. Consider the following: In your current work flow: by accident or absent mindedness, you mistakenly Save rather than Save As. Now your original is clobbered. Of course, if you are smart, you have a backup. Otherwise it is gone. In the new workflow you might forget to duplicate at the beginning. But it’s not too late! Go ahead and duplicate later. When you duplicate an edited file you get a dialog asking what to do with the original. The choices are to leave it in its edited state or to revert to its original state. Even if you close the file without duplicating it, you can still re-open it and revert using Versions.
    As Pondini pointed out, you misunderstand how versions work. Versions are not files. It is more like a super sophisticated Undo. As you edit a file, only the latest version is saved in the file. Enough information to reconstruct intermediate versions is saved in a hidden versions database. So in your scenario, you still have only 2 files plus some information in the database. In general the versions information should be efficiently stored.
    This is how Aperture has always worked. As Terence Devlin pointed out, no version of Aperture has ever had a Save or Save As command. I wouldn’t be surprised if Aperture served as an inspiration or testing ground for Autosave/Versions. I am a serious amateur photographer, and I am not the least bit sad. I think this is a great advancement.

  • Mod/PlSql Report without 'save as' menu and with print control

    I have to design a secure report. They want me to design it in a secure way so that people can see their special data on the screen but can not have a 'Save as' menu, and plus people can print their reports only three times in a month, no more.
    I have had prepared it in mod/plsql but they wanted me to add these controls later. I think having these controls on html output is impossible, so back to Reports changed my mind.
    I need help. Any idea ??
    Thanks so much..

    Impossible. You control what the server sends the client - a HTML page.
    You cannot control what the client does with it. The client can be a number of different browsers. The client can be a tty telnet type client. The client can wear suspenders and a bowler hat. The client can wear ballet shoes and a tutu.
    To think that one can control the client's management/control of that data (specifically web browser based) from a mod_plsql server side PL/SQL proc, is a fatal misunderstanding of the very fundamental principles of client-server.

  • Upgraded to Firefox 4.0 Can see and use all old bookmarks folders and bookmarks, but cannot see any of the old folders when I attempt to bookmark a new page- only see Bookmarks toolbar & Menu and unsorted bookmarks

    Had several bookmarks folders under old Firefox. After upgrade to 4.0 all of these still work via bookmarks menu. Problem is, when I attempt to bookmark a new page and place it in one of my existing bookmarks folders with 4.0, the only folders that Firefox can see are the bookmarks toolbar, bookmarks menu, and unsorted bookmarks. How do I get Firefox to see the old folders so that I can continue to put bokmarked pages in them??

    In the "Edit this Bookmark" window, use the 2nd drop-down button, that is to the right of the "Folder", to open a larger window that will allow more folder to appear. See the sloppy red arrow on the screenshot below.

    How do you create a link to a pdf in Muse? Thought it was going to show that with Katie's menu and can't find in any of the tutorials.

    The steps would be :
    - Add files from file menu > select pdf > add to site
    - Select the content (rectangle,text etc) and click on hyperlink dropdown > it should show you the added files list
    - Select the file you want to link

  • Bookmarks disappeared in bookmarks drop down menu and bookmarks toolbar disappeared too after upgrading

    I still have all my bookmarks so they are not lost (I can find them under 'bookmarks'>'Edit bookmarks' and also when I put them in the left side windowframe by clicking 'View'>'Sidebar'>'Bookmarks'
    I saw them appear once again in the dropdown menu but now they're gone again.
    The Firefox help page suggest to go to the 'add ons window' and select 'Extentions'>'Torbutten' but I don't even have that. They say that if you don't find the button, that means the torbutton is not installed. And then they leave you without another possibility. But I think that's only for when your bookmarks are totally lost anyway.
    I always use the drop down menu and the bookmarks toolbar so would love to get it back. Adding, erasing and moving the bookmarks in the 'edit bookmarks' window all works just fine.

    This issue can also be caused by a missing "Bookmarks Toolbar items" on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    * Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button
