Can't get My Book AV 500 esata drive working with Motorola QIP-7216

Scenario1: When I connect external drive to DVR, I'm prompted on TV that external drive is connected, and it will be erased. Select "accept" or "reject". I click "accept", and nothing happens.
Scenario2: I go to "Enable More Storage", I follow the steps, and set-top box reboots. When the DVR comes back up, I still don't see the external drive under "Recorder Status".
Verizon tech support has been little help. When I first called, the rep had not idea about external storage functionality. The 2nd rep that I chatted with, replaced my DVR, this didn't help. The 3rd rep that I chatted with told me they couldn't issue commands to my DVR because it was during off hours.
So I've tried two DVRs, and no success.
Tech details:
Western Digital My Book AV 500
Motorola DVR QIP-7216-1, Release: 1.9, Build: 10.95
Please help!

Hey, sorry you're having difficulties getting the external storage to work properly! I am not familiar with this particular drive, though I have heard of it. Is it a brand new drive you're using specifically for additional storage, or have you used it with a different device/computer previously? I'm wondering if it may be due to how the hard drive is partitioned/formatted. My suggestion would be to refer to the manufacturer instructions for formatting the drive within windows if possible, and once that's done, try it again on your DVR. Feel free to post back here or shoot me a PM to discuss further. Thank you!

    You probably can't, but you can start by posting your queston in the correct forums...the OS X Mail and Address Book forums, as this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to your question in any way.

  • I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant and my mac mini.  I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.

    I recently bought a new macbook pro and set it up using the migration assistant from my mac mini.  I can't get the text message forwarding feature to work with both computers.  It keeps saying that I only have 2 devices setup, my iPad and my macbook pro.  When I mess with the setting on my mac mini, it goes from saying that that is one of the devices to my macbook pro being the 2nd device.  I think that something happened as a result of my using the migration assistant and now it thinks that my macbook pro and my mac mini are one and the same computer.  Any ideas?

    Thanks, Sig.
    The old computer is a 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
    The new one is a 2.3 GHz intel core i7
    In going over this, thanks to "tallking it out" with you, I did discover the Text Edit problem.  Because I've still been unable to get the new computer text size (fonts or whatever) to match the old computer, I did not notice that the curser is now different--the line midway down the curser has to be placed on the line I am working upon, otherwise the edits go elsewhere on the page.  Now, with a bit of difficulty, I am able to get Text Edit to work correctly.
    If you have any ideas as to why my menu bar and Text Edit type are still so slow, I'd love to have them. 
    (I went through the process you suggested earlier, re my Trackpad preferences, and found no improvement.)

    I can not get the flash player plug in to work with Internet Explorer

    Chrome uses a different and separate plug-in.
    There are things about IE you need to know, especially 11. Specifically:
    "User-Agent Strings"
    That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
    Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
    The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
    Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess they've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
    They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

    what app can i get to have my dell v515w printer work with my iMac

    Dell has some really great drivers -- for Windows and Linux. But none for any version of Mac OS X.

  • Can I get my HP F4500 wireless printer to work with my Ipad?

    Can I get my HP F4500 Wireless Printer to work with my Ipad....It is an IOS 4.3.2

    Philip-
    I don't see a 4500 HP printer on the list of AirPrint printers, so you will most likely need an alternate way to print to it.
    One way is to use an iPad App such as Print n Share.  It has its own browser, mail, photo and text programs that can print to some non-AirPrint printers.  I don't know if it can print from within other iPad Apps.
    Another way is to use a computer to share the printer as AirPrint over WiFi, using a program like Printopia for the Macintosh.  For a free solution, search the web for AirPrint Activator.
    I recommend you try the free iPad App, HP iPrint Photo.

  • I can't get my Kodak Wi-fi printer to work with my Mac

    Hi there, I've just taken delivery of my new iMac and loving every minute! However I can't get it to work with my Kodak ESP 3.2 Wi-Fi printer. When I try to set it up, it recognises the printer but doesn't have the drivers available in its list. When I download the (apparently correct) drivers from the Kodak site, they wont load on to my machine. Do I need to buy another printer? - this one is only 6 months old!!
    Thanks all

    Decision made! I've bought a HP printer. Having reviewed a number of forums and asked around, it was obvious that there was no easy fix - anyone want to buy a Kodak printer??

  • How can I get my Toshiba fingerprint password utility to work with ff4?

    My tosiba laptop has a utility that would remember usernames and passwords, so that I could just swipe my finger and the details would prepopulate - this worked in previous version of ff but not ff4

    Take a look at this page to determine if your model is compatible:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
    If you can't get it to work, post back - as long as you can get your memory card to appear on the desktop, you can use something like MPEG Streamclip to convert the video to a format iMovie can work with.

  • Where can I get the patch for Oracle JMS to work with RDBMS 9.2.0.1

    Hi,
    In the following extract from Oracle documentation the patch is mentioned that needs to be applied.
    "You must apply a server-side patch for Oracle JMS, which ships with Oracle9iAS Release 2 (9.0.3) and the OTN release of OC4J, to work with an RDBMS 9.2.0.1 database. This patch is documented as bug 2513629; see the Metalink Web site or contact Oracle support for more information. However, it is strongly recommended that users move to RDBMS 9.2.0.2 when it is available. Users do not need to apply any server-side database patches when running with RDBMS 9.2.0.2."
    Where I can get this patch?
    Is it RDBMS patch or OC4J patch?
    I don't have access to a Metalink.
    Thanks a lot,
    Andrei

    Check out the configuration on the mapping. There you can create a data file. Do that and fill out the other parameters for the bad and discard file in that node.

  • How can I get an old Casio CTK-593 to work with Logic Express?

    Title pretty much says it all.
    I have a Fast Track USB from M-Audio to connect it to my pc but I don't know how to get it working with Logic.
    Thanks in advance.

    Did you check your connection with the audio-midi-setup.app in the programs/utilities folder of your MAC (not "pc" pls)?
    If you have a working MIDI connection, you'll need to open up a software instrument track within Logic to play Logic's instruments via your keyboard.

    Hello Brickwell
    Perhaps I misunderstand what you want, but iSight works with Flash Player web content.
    Have you configured your browser's Flash Player settings? If not, try the suggestion from this post:

  • Can one get a bluetooth plantronics 510 voyager to work with skype?

    I have a Bluetooth enabled Plantronics 510 voyager and was curious to find out if it is possible to work with skype on my macbook. If so, how? If not I guess that's why my macbook is not detecting the headset.

    Yes, any bluetooth really. You have to pair up the Mac and the Earpiece via bluetooth. Once paired, your bluetooth earpiece is a new mic for your Mac. Go into the Skype preferences and select "plantronics 510" as your audio input device and you can set your audio out the same if you want to hear it in your ear, or keep it as your Mac speakers.

  • Can't get iChat server 10.4.8 to work with iChat client on Tiger 10.4.8

    Guys/Gals
    I have this problem as well - I am running 10.4.8 latest updates as of today on the ol' Powerbook G4. I am setting up the iChat Server on the Xserve we have and somehow my client would not connect - they both are on the same LAN and the firewall is disabled on the Xserve - hence no firewall issues etc.
    The server starts up ok looks like:
    Nov 15 11:57:55 myserver iChatServer-jabberd[6497]: 20061115T16:57:55: [notice] (-internal): initializing server
    Nov 15 11:57:55 myserver iChatServer-jabberd[6497]: 20061115T16:57:55: [notice] (-internal): server started
    The server log however shows the following message whenever I try to connect:
    Nov 15 11:59:27 myserver iChatServer-jabberd[6497]: 20061115T16:59:27: [alert] (mio_xml.c:185): [junk after document element] XML Parsing Error:
    Now I have not modified anything at the server end. Funnier is that I connect happily to Google Talk and our other Jabber server that runs on another box.
    Something awfuwwy scwewy awound hewe.
    Any clues would be appreciated.
    Thanks much

    Something more to add to this:
    I tried Exodus, a freeware jabber client on PC - that works ok with the server - using SSL etc. so there is nothing wrong with the server. The iChat client I have on my machine seems to be the culprit - it somehow sends a wrong message - "XML parse error" - How do I make the iChat server not use SSL so that I can see what is being sent ? Currently the packet capture (tcpdump) shows garbled message - ahem - read encrypted. The SSL option in settings shows only "Default" and it does not let me select the other option.
    How do I tackle this ?
