Adding Memory to the DVR

Is is possible to attach an external hard drive or add an internal memory card for more storage? I can only store 20 hours of HD programming. I was able to store 60 hours on my Dishnetwork DVR.

No, you cannot add storage to the FiOS' Motorola DVR.  In fact, no Motorola DVR anywhere supports capacity expansion.
For now, you've got to buy a TivoHD (up to 300HD hours), Moxi, or  CableCard PC if you greater storage capacity.
Verizon is expected to offer a new FiOS DVR with double the existing capacity (i.e. 40 HD hours) early in 2010.

  • I have a macbook 4.1 with osx10.6.8 and just added memory (2gig) so I could sync my new Ipome and Ipad.  and Ipad. Now I'm told I need to upgrade my operating system. The apple store gave me conflicting instructions. Any suggestions? Thanks

    I have a macbook 4.1 with osx10.6.8 and just added memory (2gig) so I could sync my new IPhone and Ipad. Now I'm told at the apple store that I need to upgrade my operationg system. They said they couldn't help and gave me conflicting advice about what to do. Any ideas? Thanks you!

    There are three models of MacBook that comprise the 'macbook 4.1' category, and each of them a little different; however other than 'macbook 4.1' the other thing they have in common is they all are considered Early 2008. Two are white, one black, polycarbonate case, Core2Duo 2.1GHz, 2.4GHz white, 2.4GHz black.
    So if you can determine which one, if any of these, is the model build year and spec you have, that would be handy. Did you tell whoever you spoke to the serial number of your computer, so they'd know by looking up the specs to see what the supported maximum RAM upgrade capacity was, and other minimum requirements to make any upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.8 at all?
    If you have the serial number you can do a lookup to 'indentify by serial number' online, and use that information to determine if the computer needs even more RAM to take it past the minimum for Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then get it ready to upgrade (via paid download from App Store, Snow Leopard gets you that far) and see what the next supported OS X full upgrade would be for the hardware limitations on that old MacBook.
    If your MacBook IS a 4.1 build, the highest OS X it could run if it has the 2.4GHz cpu, is Lion 10.7.5. That would be an upgrade from the App store, available to OS X 10.6.8+ computers that access it online. And I kind of doubt how supported a newest iphone etc may be in lion.
    everymac.com has a fair amount of information across many years of Apple computing hardware...
    Here's the three MacBooks that share the 4.1 designation; first shipped with as much as 1GB RAM upgrade and the other two only a 2GB RAM*, (one white/one black color) according to this information...
    • MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.1 13" (White-08) 2.1 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8100)   
    • MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" (White-08) 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8300)  
    • MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" (Black-08) 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8300)
    ...as seen here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html
    *But according to MacTracker (free: download database) http://mactracker.ca
    these MacBooks can use more RAM in aftermarket specs as much as:
    Maximum Memory
    6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
    To get more information use a service such as this...

    The Apple? store or whoever you talked, to may have been as accurate as they could be without further research. Could be you may have a newer or older MacBook, which would change whatever later OS X it could run past 10.6.8. And to go past Snow Leopard, you need to download the last bits for 10.6.x to be able to go and get any later upgrade. The ones that may let a newest iphone or ipad work with it, are past SL10.6.8
    Anyway, as you further verify the model build year and configuration specifications, report back.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Added memory

    I would like to have any info you guys can give on adding memory to Set top box. Am I looking for a seats hard drive? How many gigs of memory are needed or available for this addition? Any info would be appreciated

    On my recent post>>>I meant to say I want to add an external hard drive and what I've read is, My Motorola HD DVR QIP 7216 1 is supposed to be compatible with an eSata hard drive. Is this correct? I've looked in the back of my STB and it has a slot for a Sata connection. Is this the same as eSata? If anyone can give me some info I'd appreciate it. Also...how difficult is it to configure?

  • [865PE NEO2 PFISR] Won't boot with added memory

    Recently I upgraded a few items on my PC which has been running fine for 18 months or so. I changed out the video card and bought double the memory of the same brand and type it had in it. I went from 1gig (2 sticks) and added two more sticks. But now it won't boot. The power is on but no output whatsoever.
    I RMA'd the memory thinking that might be the problem but it's the same with the new set. I tried all sorts of memory/slot combos. Basically, the new memory works fine if you swap it out in bank A with the old stuff. That's how it's running right now, so I know all of the sticks are good. I can take a third and put it in either slot bank B and it'll boot, but obviously not run properly. But any combination of these four sticks and the system won't boot!
    Please help!
    I'm running this system:
    Win XP (SP1 I believe)
    865PE NEO2 PFISR
    P4/3.0CGHz, 800M 478P/512K HT
    DDR Corsair 512MB X4 (400)
    Dual 80gb samsung HDs running SATA
    Sapphire X800GTO 256M video card
    Antec Sonata case
    TruePower 380Watt ATX12V

    What brand, model, and speed are the RAM sticks. Did you check your Test Report booklet which came with the mobo. If you can't find it, you can go to the MSI website and look for your MOBO and get the test report that way. Some brands/models will that have been tested are shown in the report to be okay in all 4 slots, some only test okay in 2 or 3. Check this report and if it is one of the brands/model/speed tested you will see how it fared. It may well be you the MOBO doesn't like your RAM in 3 or 4 slots.
    Maybe I missed it, but did you try each slot with only one stick at a time? You may also have a bad RAM slot.

  • Laserjet 6p added memory unknown???

    I have a 6P and it has an installed memory card on one of the 3 available memory slots.I can not tell what the size of the memory card is and called the manufacturer who said that its model number is no longer available in their database. I held down the printer button and got the LaserJet 6P printed page but it says "PLC6 MEt Memory Enhancement technology 2 mbytes".   I believe that is the internal installed memory and doesn't include the added memory card. Is there anyway I can determine the size of this added memory card? Also, when I print PDF files, it takes a very long time for each page to print...maybe a minute per page. If I switch to Raster, then the pages print normally.  Any ideas on this issue as it only happens with PDF files that I have to print. Win7 Ultimate  64bit. using the Win7 print driver for HP LaserJet 6p.

    Thanks for the additional info. As far as being confused...the only two options I have in the graphic mode is HP_GL/2 or Raster so I don't know why they are on my LaserJet if they are not suppose to be.I'm not sure what driver I am using...when I print out the test page it says PCL6 so I guess that is the driver installed. There is no other place that tells me that I can find.  When I go to HP support there doesn't appear to be a way to get PCL5 as it refers me to Windows for printer drivers on my model.I guess I'll just have to remember to switch to Raster each time I do a PDF file.Thanks for all your help. 

  • Added Memory, but not showing up in System Profilier

    I have an iBook G4 1.2Ghz/12-inch screen laptop. Bus speed 133 MHz. It has 256 MB built-in memory. I added a stick of 512 that is appropriate for this computer. (PC 2100) It is seated correctly, and the clips are in place.
    However, when I go to the System Profiler, it still only shows my Built-In Memory, and shows that the DIMM1/J7 Memory slot is Empty.
    Is there something I need to do to get my computer to recognize the added hardware?
    The odd thing is, my computer really does seem to be using the added memory, as I can now have multiple applications open without slowing or freezing.
    Thanks,
    Sonya

    You are correct. When the Mac starts up it checks for RAM, no configuration needed on your part. I would suggest taking the chip out and putting it back in to make certain it's pushed in correctly. It should actually "snap" or "click" softly into place.

  • Upgrade to 10.4.11 (from 10.3) & adding memory.

    I was wondering if anyone could/can help. I recently upgraded my OS and added memory to my woefully out of date G4. For some reason I now cannot see an external harddrive (firewire) nor can I see my Ibot webcam. When I go to my Hardwear Overview and click on Firewire: nothing appears.
    Here's my system info:
    Machine Name: Power Mac G4
    Machine Model: PowerMac3,5
    CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 800 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
    Memory: 1.5 GB
    Bus Speed: 133 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.3.3f2
    Is it possible that the upgrade/additional screwed up my firewire capabilities? If yes, what do I do to fix it?
    Here's hoping someone can help.

  • I added memory to my MacBook Pro (now 4gb) and upgraded to Lion. Now my iphone 4 won't sync-gets stuck at stage 7 of 8 on importing photos. My iphoto is'09 version 8.1.2

    I recently added memory to my MacBook Pro so I could upgrade to Lion and use the cloud for my contact list. It's been a bit of a mess, since I use Entourage as my email program.  The REAL problem I'm having now is that my iPhone 4 now won't sync.  iTunes "quits unexpectedly" at stage 7 (of 8) in the syncing process, where it says it's importing photos.  My iPhoto is '09, version 8.1.2   Is this not compatible with Lion?

    I have the same problem. I'm suspecting a corrupt photo, but the logs don't give me a clue. Or maybe this version of iTunes needs some further tuning.

  • How will i increase the shared memory of the graphic card of macbook pro 13-inch, early 2011 from 4gb memory?

    The current version of Mavericks is 10.9.4. To update yours download and install OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
    You can upgrade RAM to the maximum your model will support. That would be:
    Maximum Memory
    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
    OS X Mavericks- About Activity Monitor
    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

  • Added memory but....

    Hello Everyone,
    I am very new to Mac so please be patient on how I explain things. First I want to say how much I love my Power Mac G5. I love the way the power Mac G5 looks and the way Mac OS 10.4 runs!
    However, I think i may have a slight problem. I bought the computer used off ebay with a 22-inch wide screen monitor. Everything works great but I thought since it came with a ton of programs and only 1gig of ram I would add more.
    Yesterday I went to Compusa and bought 2 512DDR PC3200 memory chips. Well thinking this would help speed up my computer. It seem to have no effect. So I decided to do a little searching to see if anything was hogging up resources.
    I opened Activity monitor and found a program called Virex that was taking up like 80% of the processor resources. After doing some research I download a program that uninstalled Virex.
    Thinking now everything should run very smooth. It almost seems to run worse after uninstalling the Virex and adding the memory. The harddrive is working much more and I noticed the fans kick higher and lower quite a bit, just from surfing the web and IM.
    As of right now Activity Monitor reads
    CPU
    % User 8.00
    % System 6.00
    % Nice 0.00
    % idle 86.00
    Memory
    Wired 141.43 MB
    Active 241.09 MB
    Inactive 500.72 MB
    Used 883.72 MB
    Free 1.14GB
    Disk
    Reads in: 23437
    Writes out: 10558
    Data read 556.02 MB
    Data Written 244.77 MB
    Would some kinda disk defragmenting help with speeding things up? I think when I checked disk warrior it said something like 30% was fragmented.
    Anyway please give me any info you can!
    Thanks much!
    Mike

    Thanks everyone for the reply. Sorry I was in Vegas all last week and was really unable to reply. I have ordered a Mac OSX DVD set brand new for $67.00.
    I wanted to just update everyone on a new issue LOL. This morning I used the G5. Everything was going good; I was using Yahoo IM, Netscape, & itost (I think it is called). Anyway, I got the Kernel panic screen. Where everything locks up and goes gray. Then it tells you to reboot. Well I held down the power button. The system shut down, when I started the system back up. It went to the bootup screen with the white back ground, gray apple logo, and a spinning progress bar. But it does nothing after that; I tried again and again but it just sits there. I hear the hard drive click a few times but that’s it. If I let it sit long enough it will switch to a blue background with progress bar. Then from there it will just be a blue background and let me move the mouse. But there are no programs or anything for that matter.
    Really strange, could this be a much bigger issue like a bad hard drive?
    Thanks
    Mike

  • Added Memory Read as 3200, not 6400?

    I recently added 8 gigs of 5400 ddr2 Crucial memory to my powermac g5 dual core. However, in About This Mac, the memory only reads as 3200 speed. Why would this happen? I removed all old memory so there is only 5400 memory in the machine now. Thanks

    Hi Rich, you don't say which exact G5/2.0 GHz you have, (there are 3 different ones), but 2 of those Models will read 3200 & one 4200 no matter what the potential DDR is, it's the Mac's HW that limits it, this being said, it may or may not have a lower CAS rate than standard PC3200 RAM.

    In other words, ot's not going to read higher than your Mac can handle/set up.

  • A20m - adding memory

    Hi to all in this group!
    I recently wanted to upgrade my trusty old A20m from a low 128MB to a full house 512MB, so shopped around and finally bought two 256MB PC100 SODIMMs. So far so good. Problems started when I added one of the new memory blocks to the old one – I got 384MB for sure, but the processor speed sank to 644MHz in my computer – properties. Swapping the 128 to a new 256 was not so good either – only the block in slot 1 was recognized, and the second one was absent (no changes when swapping 256s, both working properly in slot 1). Processor speed dropped to a mere 524MHz . As I know it the A20m has an 800MHz CPU (as can be seen in the BIOS) and is able to address 512MB of memory (2x 256MB PC100). Weird situation.
    Anyone knowing what is going wrong here and how to make things go right?

    Welcome to the forum!
    The things are right when it comes to CPU speed. By adding RAM you've lowered the pressure on CPU, and it will now take more to get it working at full speed, which is exactly the way it's supposed to be. There's no need for it to run at 100% all the time, when it has to, it will...that is the very idea od SpeedStep technology that your machine is equipped with.
    As for RAM recognition, update the BIOS and see whether that helps.
    Good luck.

  • I installed addtl memory and the computer will come on but no screen

    I jsut installed addtl memory to the 1.83 as only had 512 with the original purchase years ago...bought from Apple genius recommended Crucial
    go the old out, added the new on the 2nd try as the new went in upside down from the old and according to the Apple demo, 2 sticks of 1 on the upper and lower areas...computer will now not come on..it turns on but no screen shows...what happened?

    First remove the RAM and stick the orignal 512MB in, see if the computer works. It should fine.
    Next remove the 512GB and replace with 1GB, see if the computer works, if so then
    Install the second 1GB and see if it works,
    If the first 1GB didn't work, then use the other and see if the computer works, if it does then install the 512MB in the second slot, if it doesn't work, you got a bad slot.
    Document all your steps carefully, you have to determine which is the bad RAM module or if you have a bad RAM slot
    One you can exchange, the bad slot your just out of luck. 

  • When adding memory does slot matter

    I just picked up a gig of RAM to add to the 512 MB that came with my powerbook. I was wondering if it made a difference as to which slot the 1GB or 512MB was in. Which configuration works best? Thanks for any help.

  • Adding Data in the grid

    One thing I am finding a little awkward; Adding data in the grid. It would be nice to be able to use tab to get to the next cell. At present it just highlights the cell and typing doesn't do anything until the cell is clicked. Equally hitting return I would expect it to give me a new blank row. I would like to be able to add a couple of rows of data without resorting to using the mouse at each turn.
    Very good initial impressions though.

    Yes we should do this as it's what everyone will expect from Excel.
