AlchemyTV DVR? Will it work....

Hey all...
I went to macsales.com and found the card for $129... then went to the manufacturer's website and compared the system requirements?!?! The manufacturer is saying it will not work with PCI-e yet the macsales says it is a "universal" fit? Whatever that is... simple Q: will it work on a G5 with PCI-e slots or no?
Thanks!

Ok... I am confused a bit now. Here is the info I have found:
Macsales.Com states:
Q: Is the G4/G5 version a PCI-X card?
A: No. It is a Universal PCI 2.3 card which fits into a standard PCI slot as well as a PCI-X slot.
.... *** does that tell you? What is the difference between PCI-X and PCI-e?
And Miglia.Com states:
• PCI card compatible with PCI and PCI-X
**** how can Apple make a sweet tower that has limited upgradability??? Apple is just as bad as PCs when it comes to this crap.... "oh, sorry... that version does not work with this machine. You have to wait until a new one is made"... which means pay a crap-load more for a new product! What a joke! Although I love the G5... Apple is just as bad as IBM based machines when it comes to this crap!!

Remote DVR will not work?

I signed up for FIOS when it first came to my area. Verizon installed a basic Netgear router. I since upgraded to a wireless Netgear router about 4 years ago. We just upgraded our DVR to a Home Media and tried to turn on the remote DVR. But when I go to the web site it says remote DVR will not work without original Verizon router. I don't understand why it won't work. Is there a setting or something in the router to make it work or do I need a different router that Verizon has to provide? I am guessing the original router I had wouldn't work either because it is the same brand as the one I have now.

Called and got a Westell router today. Got it all hooked up and internet and TV are working fine but I still can't activate remote DVR. The DVR has an access code listed, tells me to go to the website and sign in with my verizon.net id. I do and I still get the error remote DVR not possible with third party router. Any more help?

My DVR security sofware that I access remotely uses a "dvr .ocx" file....when I try it in Firefox , either the latest non beta (3.6.1.5) or the new beta version (4.0 rc) it will NOT work as it says the plugin is missing... it works in IE 8,but not IE9...

My machine is Top of the range (my Company builds them so it had better be :) )
Amd 1100t , 8gb ram , Windows 7 64 bit etc, etc...
The is not a hardware problem , but a software problem with FF...Any help would be appreciated as I hate using IE 8 for anything at all :( but I have to keep it on my machines just to run my remote security cameras at my Computer shop ???

As I own a Computer company I am fairly computer literate but cannot find a plugin that allows this to work in Firefox.... but I would have expected it to work in the new Firefox :(
All the best, Brett :)

The longer this thread continues, the more ancillary comments you throw in that aren't directly pertinent to your problem with your DVR software not working with Firefox 4.0. Sorry, I don't intend to continue with this discussion.
I do agree that ''something'' needs to be done better with regards to plugins for Firefox, but I do disagree with you as to whose responsibility that ''something'' is.

Multiroom DVR does not work as expected.

Short description of my problem:
I can't use the multiroom DVR with the SD receiver I was sent nor another DVR. This leaves me only one option, an HD receiver which costs me more per month but does not give me any other added benefits.
Long description:
I recently ordered FIOS TV. I was drawn in by the multiroom DVR. I was a DirecTV customer for over 7 years and never had a problem with them (never lost signal in a storm either...). I got an ad that said I could get a free multiroom DVR, which is $19 a month, free for life. With my DirecTV setup, I had a DVR connected to both TVs in my house. I thought it might be nice to watch a recorded show at either one instead of having to watch it on the DVR it was recorded on.
After a frustrating experience with tech support, I finally had my multiroom DVR and standard set top box activated. I recorded something on the DVR and went upstairs to try and watch it. To my surprise, I found out that I could not. I had recorded it in HD and the receiver that had been supplied to me was an SD receiver. At this point I found it stupid that if I wanted to be able to watch a show at both locations, I either had to record it in SD, which looks like crap on an HDTV, or record it in both HD and SD which would use up both of my recording channels for one show. I know that I can upgrade to a HD receiver and watch it on both sets, but if I am going to pay more (just to make something work that was supposed to work for "free"), I might as well pay a little bit extra and get another DVR. I really liked being able to pause and rewind live TV at both locations.
I called sales to place an order for another DVR. Surprise again, a multiroom DVR will not stream to another DVR. So my only option is to have an HD receiver if I want to be able to use the multiroom DVR and not lose functionality. As a result, I have lost 2 channels of recording because I have one less DVR than I used to, and I can no longer pause live TV at one of my TVs. I don't think that is worth the $10 ($19 - $8 for an HD receiver) a month.
Solved!

Justin,
Thank you for the reply. I am in western PA but can't check my DVR for the version until I get home.
Can you please elaborate what you mean by "and as an aside, if you have QIP6416 DVRs and/or the QIP2500 SD STB, you will not be happy with 1.9 on any of those boxes." I'm not sure what kind of receivers I have off hand.
If I can get two DVRs to work with each other I would be ecstatic!!! Thanks again for the info.
You obviously have internet access, you can't use the internet to view what STBs you have in your account? If you do that, it will show you the model numbers of each of your STBs.
But anyway, the 6xxx boxes are the old original STBs that Verizon delivered for FiOS TV starting 6 years ago. They worked fine with all levels of the IMG up through 1.8 (I had one for 5 1/2 years, got rid of it earlier this year, replaced it with a 7232). With the new 1.9 level, the 6xxx and 2500 boxes perform very poorly, they just do not have the processor, graphics processor, memory (and for the 6xxx boxes, an eSATA port) to support the new HD graphics and things like an external hard drive. So your Guide will still be SD, it will be somewhat hard to read, the boxes will be slow, slow, slow, etc.
As I said, two DVRs most certainly can work together with 1.9. That feature is called Multi-Hub, it is free, just needs to be turned on on the DVRs. Allows you to access, schedule, and delete recordings on either DVR from other STBs as well as the DVRs themselves.
A simple way to tell if you already have 1.9 is to look at the Guide and if it has the light blue/gray background it is 1.9.
If you still have the two DVRs but not yet 1.9, I suggest you just keep them (unless they are 6xxx boxes), the new support should be available to you soon.
Edit: Just had a thought, I know Verizon also uses Cisco STBs in some areas. I have no idea whether they do where you are, but it is possible that that is what you have. If so, I think they have an older version of 1.9 that does not yet support some of the features that the 1.9 for Motorola boxes has. Not sure which features.....

HT4366 Will appletv work if connected to the DirecTV cable box instead of the TV?

My tv is mounted on the wall so I don't want to have the hdmi cable hanging down the wall to the appletv. Will it work if I plug it into my cable box?

The Apple TV connects to a spare HDMI port on your TV. It has nothing to do with your DVR.

X1 TV App will not work

I had the X1 App on a Samsung tablet and an iPhone. Both worked fine. Over the last few weeks they both stopped working. After I sign in to the app I get the message that the service is available in my area and I should call Comcast if I think there is a problem. I called and they checked my account and said everything looked fine as far as the code needed to use the app. It still will not work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling on both devices, and also disconnecting and reconnecting to the WIFI. Nothing worked and the support team was unable to solve it.

G4-450 DP with a 22 inch clear Cinema display will not work, please advise

Hello all
I can not seem to get a G4-450 DP to work with a 22 inch clear Cinema display, i even have one of those dr.botts wich i normaly run a 2nd 15" clear display.
What happens is that it starts up and then goes black,
can anyone advise?

Hi-
Could you check your system profiler for graphics, and post the model of the card that you have? The stock card is the Rage 128 with the following specs:
-ATI RAGE 128 Pro graphics card with 16MB of SDRAM graphics memory installed in a dedicated AGP 2X graphics slot
-Support for up to 1920– by 1200–pixel resolution at 32 bits per pixel (millions of colors)
-Apple Display Connector (ADC); carries analog and digital video, USB, and power
-15–pin mini D–Sub VGA connector
You say you have a DVI port (along with ADC) so, I want to clarify the card model.
You also state that the display worked once- in what configuration? Connected alone? Through the Dr. Bott's DVIator? That means from the DVI port to an ADC connector on the screen (but the 22" is a DVI connection)?
I found the following quote on the Dr. Bott's page:
However, the ATI Rage 128 card will not work with the 20", the 22" and the 23" Cinema Displays
To clear up confusion (mine), please carefully check your profiler, compare the ports of your card to the Display compatibility link (in above post), and let me know the results (what you have), along with a description of what connects to what. A model number for the display would also help.
Generally speaking, when a display goes black after the gray screen, the graphics card isn't compatible, or the necessary software/drivers are not installed.
G4AGP(450)Sawtooth, 2ghz PowerLogix, 2gbRAM, 300gbSATA+160gbATA, ATI Radeon 9800 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Pioneer DVR-109, ExtHD 160gb x2, 23"Cinema Display, Ratoc USB2.0, Nikon Coolscan

Apple DVI to Video Adapter on PC???? WILL IT WORK?

Will the Apple DVI to Video Adapter work on PC's as well as Apple? I own a mac but the computer I need to convert on is an older PC with a DVI port on back. Will it work? It's just an adaptor right? It cn't be built to ONLY work on mac...theres no software in that little thing.
HELP!!! before I buy

No, it won't work with a PC. It requires the video card support the adapter, and since it was made for Apple cards, chances are the PC one won't. You might be lucky, but I doubt it.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

Flash will not let me downgrade to version 10 because it says it is not the most up to date, but the 11 will not work on my computer

I had Adobe FLASH 11 but it did not play any videos, so I was prompted to download the version before it (10.) but it will not let me download it since it is not the latest/most current version of the program. How do I get a version that will actually work?

You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

- After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod? If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
- If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

I was using Lightroom v5.6 when a notice came up to update to v5.7. I did the down load but must have gotten a bad down load because it will not install. And the old 5.6 on my desktop will not work. So no 5.6 or 5.7 . any ideas how to get something

I was using Lightroom v5.6 when a notice came up to update to v5.7. So I did the download but it would not work or install. And the 5.6 version will not work now either. So I am screwed - no 5.6 or 5.7 and no access to Adobe Tech. Any help will be appreciated.

My iPod is a click wheel...I think that's fifth generation?
I've always used my firewire cable to update my iPod. I've tried using USB in the past but for some reason it always says that my iPod has low battery and won't let me update it, so I just use firewire. Can I not use firewire with itunes 7?
I'll try using the USB again. It's laying around here somewhere. Just gotta find it.

My phone will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I retype the password it says it is wrong. It will eventually work but I have to wait for a message to pop up on my screen to allow me to retype the wifi password.

When I first got my phone it worked perfectly fine with the wifi. Although later on I began to have problems connecting it. It will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I try to retype the password it tells me it is wrong, although it is right. It will eventually work but in its own time, a message will pop up and allow me to type in the password and it will work. But sometimes it takes an hour or more and sometime it takes 10 minutes. I've seen where other people have had this problem but I don't know how to fix it. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my phone or if it's with my wifi. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Does this happen with all Wi-Fi hotspots? A specific one?
Have you tried forgetting the Wi-Fi connection and then reconnecting to it?
What about power cycling the Wi-Fi router?

How do I perform a "Suite Product Activation" so that Acrobat will start working on my new Retina MacBook Pro?

How do I perform a "Suite Product Activation" so that Acrobat will start working on my new Retina MacBook Pro?
Like others, I have recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to the next generation and migrated all my information from old to new. Everything works seamlessly EXCEPT Acrobat. Photoshop, Indesign, Bridge and Lightroom all seem functional. Acrobat hangs with an error message "Suite Product Activation Needed. Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Acrobat, please start another element of the suite (such as Photoshop)." Needless to say, starting another element of the suite has NO impact on Acrobat.
This has to be a common problem. Now that Apple has made it really easy to migrate information from old to new machines, it has to come up all the time. What surprises me greatly is that I can't find any coherent answer in these forums.
So how do I get Acrobat running again?

Hi Anubha,
I do not understand what you said below.
I am running Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 9.5.5. I do not remember whether it came with Photoshop or InDesign.
When I open Photoshop, it opens without my having to follow any instructions to activate the software. As a matter of fact, I cannot find my Photoshop serial number anywhere in the Photoshop program itself. I do know it from my profile at Adobe.com. Are you suggesting I deactivate Photoshop on the new computer and then reactivate it using my serial number? Will it reactivate?
When you say
"/Library/Application Support/Adobe" at the root level of the startup disk (not the Library folder inside a user's Home folder)
what do you mean? I do not have a startup disk. I have the original installation disk but that version of Photoshop has been updated a few times.
After staring at your instructions for a while, I realized that you might be talking about the Library/Application Support folders resident on my Macintosh HD, although why you called it a startup disk is unclear to me. IAC, I went into those folders and duly moved the three folders into a new folder I called “Acrob1” and restarted Adobe Acrobat 9 and got the following error message: “AMT Subsystem Failure The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall of call customer support.” with a small (6).
By undoing my actions I am back to the staus quo ante.
Now what?
Regards, Robert
