Al Jazeera vs. One America News

I'm a news junkie, especially now as we enter the presidential primary/election season. I watch all national news channels but have no desire, need or interest in Al Jezeera. One American News is available but I have to change programming (and therefore pay extra) to get it. This makes no sense. I am requesting that everyone petition Verizon to make Al Jezeera an optional extra charge choice and provide One America News in a standard package. In short swap them. I'm an American - born and bred, a veteran, a deeply patriotic, flag-waving American with no need, intertest or desire to have middle-eastern, muslim controled news programs broadcasted into my home. If I need to know something about anything that area of the world is doing or what they think, I'll get it from CNN, MSNBC, FOX or One America News. Verizon, in a day when you advertise programming the channels we want to watch, I ask that you do the right thing. Oo-rah!

Thanks but I can't agree. I believe Verizon is large enough, economically powerful enough and certainly can be politically influencial enough to replace One America News with Al Jazeera without fear of violating some packaging contract. And, simply not to watch this programming does not provide the solution of providing an American News outlet in place of Al Jazeera. Or, how about giving subscribers the choice? Verizon's current advertising even touts the customer's ability to select and pay for the stations they want. So subtract this one and add the other.So what you are saying is they can just ignore a contract that they have with a provider because they feel like it?That doesn't make any sense.They are already in deep heat from ESPN and another network for not carrying sports channels in their basic channel package which is now custom hd.....which ESPN is saying was in their contract to do so.They do have contracts with other providers which force them to carry channels in certain tiers and not in others. Going against it will trigger lawsuits and channels being dropped. I don't think they want to do that. Cost to carry the channels per subscriber also plays a factor with what goes where. The new custom hd package doesn't allow one to pick and choose channels, just channel packs. A la carte is still a ways away and won't exactly be cost effective.If one wants a channel that isn't offered in the channel pack then upgrading to a non custom one that has it is the only way for now.Do I think they should offer better news programming in the news and info pack in custom hd? of course, but they are going to do whatever they do for whatever reasons be it contracts, pricing, etc.. If you really want to get your word through though and you have every right to do so, I'd write a letter to the CEO of Verizon if you can find the mailing address. Unless it lands in the right hands, it won't go anywhere. Since these are peer to peer forums nothing would ever come from it here and changing channel packs won't do anything either so going to the right desk would be the thing to do in my opinion. It still may never go anywhere, but at least it would go somewhere rather then nowhere.

Add One America News to Lineup

Please add One America News to the lineup. The left has ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, PBS and CNN. The right has Fox, and that's it. Another voice on the right (or in the case of One America, libertarian) is desperately needed. If Comcast needs to find a place in the lineup, I would think that Al Jazeera's channel would be perfect.

I have it on my ATT service I think it is better thant FNC and the news is straight up news, no opinions, they have opinion shows for that and yep they are a bt Libertarian in point of view.

One America News Network

Today I was going through Verizon's new GUI schedule to see what channels had mysteriously appeared to replace others that had just as mysteriously disappeared, and stumbled upon another new one, One America, a channel ensconced within the news section.
I sat through a few straightforward headline news segments of One America, but then during the commercial breaks, I was appalled to witness obviously propagandistic libertarian messages in the form of historic speeches. These were accompanied by insidious visuals to further push the message in the direction the programmers intended. There was a speech by Theodore Roosevelt (which actually turns out to be transcribed from a popular email that was circulated in the last decade, but was based on the actual speeches and a letter Roosevelt produced). Here's the segment:
"There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
The first thing that came to my mind was North Korea. I envisioned goose-stepping minions with their right hands on the shoulders of the ones marching next to them. Unity and uniformity uber alles.
Another between-the-segments interstitial was in the form of Bill Clinton giving a speech on "welfare reform," which was given in 1996 after it became clear he was turning into a Republican. That segment of his speech was accompanied by visuals of urban blight and dilapidated school rooms. It had libertarian worldview written all over it.
To further investigate, I checked OANN's Facebook page where I saw one satisfied viewer's opinion on those commercial break "messages":
"The accurate history lessons during the breaks are a wonderful public service. Its a reminder to the younger generation of what their responsibilities are to protect liberty and freedom."
Right wing people are constantly saying that liberals have all the other media at their disposal, "why can't we have just one or two?" Even OANN CEO Robert Herring, Sr. says this, which goes to show ignorance runs through all economic classes. It's wrong, of course, because all the other lower tier news programming on Verizon is owned by multinational corporations--newsflash, they all have a corporate slant and a corporate worldview, hardly amenable to liberalism. For instance, we call CNN the Corporate News Network. MSNBC has liberal programming but only during the week in prime-time. They have liberal programming because it just happens to make money for the corporation that owns it. And you'll never hear a thing about media consolidation or net neutrality on MSNBC, because it's owned by NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast. Not exactly a liberal world view.
I'm still waiting for Verizon to bring Free Speech TV to the lower tier. I have a feeling I'll be waiting a very long time for that to happen.

...Or cancel your service if your political agenda is so important.

I have two macs in my house. One is newer and came with the os x mountain lion software and the other one needs to be upgraded. I was wondering if there is a way to take upgrade from one to the other? Should not have to buy this software again.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Buy it for the other computer. Mountain Lion is preinstalled on the new Mac, but you can only use it in the new one

On iMovie, when I add a new photo a then add another one, the newer photo is only the previous photo, only stretched out. What do I do!!?!

To reiterate Larry's question are you trying to copy
your iPhoto Library package in it's entirety to the flash drive
or
just the photos that are in the library?
Each requires a different process.
If it't the former reformat the flash drive to OS X Extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto Library package from your Pictures folder to the flash drive.
If it's the latter export them to a folder on the Desktop first viaFile ➙ Export ➙ File Export and Kind = Original and drag the folder onto the flash drive.

I recently had to get a new computer.It required me going from windows xp to 7 I am trying to put it one the new computer but I get following message Windows installer could not be accessed could be in safe mode.How do I get around it? need it to charge my ipod on my computer.

I have used PCs for years, and still do at work. But, last year my wife bought me a 15" MBP with the anti-glare screen (I was getting ready to buy for myself). It took me all of 1 week to completely get used to the UI for OS-X, and now I really prefer it over the Win7 UI. I have no experience with Win8. Here are my thoughts:
1) You can get a good computer using either a Win8 machine or a Mac.
2) You will pay less for an equivalent PC. But not as much less as some would have you believe. You need to take into account the all aluminum body of the Mac (vs most PCs being plastic) and the size of the display. And, don't forget that there is a lot of bundled SW on the Mac that you will actually find useful and would have to purchase for the PC.
3) You can probably do everything you need on the PC platform with the right SW (you probably already know this since you are using one already).
That said, I think some things are easier on the Mac. For example, GarageBand is a standard part of the Mac SW installation. I got up and running recording directly from my bass into a track with a song imported from iTunes on another track in a snap. I only had to purchase a Jam adapter ($99) for the bass so I could come in over USB instead of using the audio in port (which did work, by the way). You can do the same on a PC, but you have to purchase the SW from somewhere. And, it probably isn't cheap.
I use VMware Fusion to run those Win programs I already owned because it was much less expensive to buy Fusion than to replace them.
I would not return to a PC for my own use, given a choice. But, I would be very careful about getting my wife a Mac without careful thought as she is not as tolerant of learning new things as I am.
So, there you go.

Yes.
Restore your iTunes library from your computer's backup along with all other important data that should be included with your computer's backup such as your documents, photos, etc.
Important to maitain a backup with any computer platfirm but event more so with Windows due to being very insecure and unreliable,

I transferred settings and files from old MacBook air to new one. New one now gives popup about failing to connect to server (old iMac). the new Mac air and old iMac have never met and are 2000 miles apart. How do I stop the popups?

Change your settings in Sharing preferences, for one, and remove the server out of the Finder's sidebar. Obviously, this is the result of transfering all your other computer's preferences to your new computer.

After moving my music library from my old mb to the new one, my new mb pro does not play the files evenly. It takes a break for two sec's and starts playback where it stopped. Ideas anyone?

I may have found an answer here:
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive
They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

Two imacs--one older, one brand new--plus an external hard-drive

Hello, i was just thinking and was wondering if anybody could put their two cents in for me. I have an older imac (just over a year and a half--if one can call it 'old') and i have intentions of buying the new imac but i am waiting until Novemberish so that Leopard OS comes pre installed on it. I also want to buy Leopard OS for my existing imac.
BTW, I don't do any gaming on it (my xbox360 is for gaming) or anything like that....only a huge library of itunes and photos(&the occasional video), surfing the net, and mail are the things i require my computer for...I need another imac because my family members are hogging time on 'my' imac.
I was thinking of buying an external HD and putting everything on it (transferring data)that is now on my imac and just leaving it always hooked up to my imac and placing it at the base of the computer(you know, ...the base stand of the imac that is just great for placing one's ipod and so on...). Then when ever i want i can just unhook the HD and hook it up to my new imac. I just have this thing about having too much data on the HD of my imac and i worry about bogging down/diminished efficency of the computer.
I have never being truly networked with another computer ..... you know, tapping into another computer at another location of the house .... BTW, I currently have a wireless Dell router that my imac easily recgonizes. Is buying an external HD for each iMAc a waste of money?

A few suggestions
When you first get a new Mac, the initial boot will ask you if you have an old Mac you wish to transfer data from. This migration assistant works wonderfully well. All that is needed is a FireWire cable and follow the on screen instructions. Transfer time may take a few hours depending on how much data you have. You can choose how much data to transfer, i.e. documents, music, photos, applications, personal settings, etc.
I would recommend getting a large capacity external HD. One of Leopard's new features includes Time Machine and will work best if you have an external HD. An option to consider would be to get the new Airport Extreme Base Station. It has a USB port and you can hook up a USB HD to it and have all your computers on your network access the HD. I currently have all my music and videos saved on my network HD and it works flawlessly.

I can not open one more new window of FF by double-clicking on FF icon

I can open only 1 browser window FF
I want to open another.
- I can open by selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu. It's normal.
- But I can't open by double-clicking on FF icon. The message happens in this case: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
Before double-clicking on FF, I checked processs at Task Manager and just one process "firefox.exe" is running.
I try many ways to troubleshoot this problem such as:
- install FF again
- run safe mode
- Update all add-on
- add new profile in Profile manager and run with new one
- I follow the anwser of post: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/770203
But can't fix this problem.
I'm looking forward to your earliest reply
Thank so much

There is the Free iTube Grabber which can capture almost any audio and/or video stream (it says here) but only works with Intel Macs.
http://itube-grabber.en.softonic.com/mac
Firefox Download Helper is also supposed to work, you have to be logged into YouTube first.
There is also iTubeX which allows you to download videos (Flash, HTML5 and others), .mp3 and .swf files from almost every website as easily as possible:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27604/itubex
Lastly: How to download Flash videos and play them in Quicktime using Perian is explained here:
http://perian.org/#watch
It's the video at the bottom of the page.
Last but not least (as some of the above may not work with Snow Leopard or Lion) there is the 'pwn trick':
For example, the full youtube site for your movie is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC2XIGMI ... e=youtu.be
As soon as the movie starts, pause it and add 'pwn' in front of the youtube part of the url so it looks like this:
http://www.pwnyoutube.com/watch?v=bC2XI ... e=youtu.be
Hit Return and then follow the instructions.

I did not sync music properly to computer from iphone3. have new iphone4. how can i get music off old phone onto new one. new phone all set up. help

I did not sync my iphone3 music to my computer. Thought I did it properly but did not. New at this stuff. Now my IT person installed and configured my new iphone4 and my music is on old phone. Anyway to get it to new phone. Help.:)

Set up your new phone as if it were the old one. Settings, mail, mobile me, same email same password that you used on old phone. You can still sync the old phone to iTunes library. You may have to click on picture of phone on the left & click on back up iPhone. You'll see songs, contacts & calendar downloading in apple slot at the top. When done connect new phone. Authorize computer put in apple ID when that screen comes up & that should allow both phones to share the library. If you use the same ID the same information will be on both phones.
