Cannot read new on-screen text

My 84 year old mother with poor eyesight cannot read the on-screen text since the upgrade was pushed out. She views either a 55 inch HD TV in her living room from a lounge chair or a 20 inch SD TV from her bed in her bedroom. It is not feasible to move the chair or bed closer to the TV. It is not easy for her to get up and stand close to the TV every time she needs to go through the menu to watch a DVR recording. Even standing right in front of the TV, it is almost impossible to read the white text on the light blue background (due to the poor contrast). She had no problem reading the white text on a black background before the upgrade.
I experimented with the FiOS settings for SD vs HD and 480 vs 1080 but nothing helps.
I noticed that the closed captions settings allows you to change the font text color and font background color. FiOS should provide those options for the on-screen text too.
I would have expected that there would be mass outrage and complaints about the new poor contrast of on screen text due to the light blue background but the posted complaints appear to be few. I suspect it is because the customers who are the most impacted by this terrible change are not able to post complaints about it (because they are older people who are not computer literate or their eyesight issues make working with computers difficult).
I encourage everybody who wants the text background changed to black or an option added to give a choice of a black background to keep posting complaints (whether it impacts you personally or if you are sympathetic to those with eyesight disabilities). Please keep in mind, that even though your eyesight is good today, as you get older, it is likely your eyesight will also start to fail and you will appreciate easy to read text.

We agree, we are in much younger generation, and Verizon Fios Tv viewing Options are just far too limited and not up to par in this area!

Compiling message "cannot read" (new to java)

Sorry about yet another question on compiling. I'm new to java. I've read alot of the threads on this, but my HelloJava.java won't compile.
I'm working on w2k. I've set my path to
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;c:\j2sdk1.4.0\bin
using the environment variables in the system properties box.
This seems to work fine.
but I keep getting the "cannot read" when compiling.
I've created a classpath variable in the environment variables
CLASSPATH = .;C:\src
and my java file is definately .java not .java.txt and it's in the src folder on my c drive.
Do I need to set classpath? Also I've put my HelloJava.java file in the same folder as my javac and it still won't compile. What am I doing wrong?
By the way, the HelloJava file came from the book "Learning Java".
thanks in advance.

OK -
If you place your .java files in C:\src, to compile you must either
1. Go to (change the current directory to, using cd command) c:\src and then enter "javac ...."
or
2 From any directory enter "javac C:\src\...."
Classpath is used by javac and java, but not in this way.
Read here for the full story:
The Path is a set of pointers that Windows uses to locate programs that you execute, like javac.exe and java.exe. This setting is explained here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/install-windows.html
Scroll down to: 5. Update the PATH variable
The CLASSPATH is another set of pointers that is used by Java to find the files that you create and want compiled and/or run. This setting is explained here:
Setting the Classpath:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/tooldocs/windows/classpath.html
[NOTE: always start your classpath with ".;" which means the current directory. See my classpath, below]

IMac cannot read new disc

I recently bought software from the Apple store. When I insert the installation disc, my disc drive immediately ejects it. I thought maybe it was the disc itself, so I tried it on my Macbook Pro. It worked perfectly fine. How can I correct this problem?

This may sound simplistic but, if the disk is not visible, have you checked Finder preferences to check what items you want visible on the desktop?
Spaces also takes some getting used to and I found I could not empty trash because the warning window was sometimes showing up in a different space to the one from I was in when trying to delete the trash. The warning was not visible even when I made visible all 6 spaces screens. Only when opening each space at a time did I find the trash warning window where I could confirm the instruction to empty the trash.
I give the above example because something similar happened when I was searching for and trying to eject a Diskwarrior DVD. The computer wanted me to confirm eject instruction because in the case of DW, it wanted to know if I wanted to eject all 3 partitions, and only when I confirmed ok was the disk finally ejected.
Good luck.

Hi nnevado,
Since the software disk can be read in your Macbook Pro it sounds like the problem may be the optical drive. I once had a problem like that and the drive had to be replaced. A couple of things to try so we can be sure: do any other disks get ejected immediately or is it just that software disk? Also, besides checking that disk in your Macbook Pro like you did, are there any other Macs around that you can try it on? The results of those tests should help to pinpoint the problem.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

I open Mail, and a new message screen comes up. I cannot get rid of it, and I cannot get to the mail in my mailbox???

When I try to open my mail (not IMail) a new message screen comes up on my iPad (version 8.1.3 (12B466), and I cannot cancel it; it prevents me from getting to the mail in that mailbox.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

All of sudden my iphone 4s any picture I take outside I cannot forward via email or text and I can only see it, in the camera roll. When I try to open the picture full screen it is blank. Anyone have any ideas to fix it?

all of sudden my iphone 4s any picture I take outside I cannot forward via email or text and I can only see it, in the camera roll. When I try to open the picture full screen it is blank. Anyone have any ideas to fix it?

Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then check your camera roll again.

When I open iPhoto 9.2.1 it says that my library needs to be upgraded but when I upgrade the library I am trying to open (33 GB worth of pictures from 2006) the new application says it cannot read the files and how to find them on the system to reimport?!

When I open iPhoto 9.2.1 it says that my library needs to be upgraded but when I upgrade the library I am trying to open (33 GB worth of pictures from 2006) the new application says it cannot read the files and how to find them on the system to reimport?! and then I'd like to erase the original files since the space requirement is huge!!!! Why is upgrading software iPhoto such a pain. I've gotta get a presentation done and all I get for my money is roadblock!!!

hello, it sounds like the library is damaged.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Aperture 2.1.2 cannot read date format in new iPhoto '09

I've noticed that when I import photos from iPhoto '09 to Aperture, the image dates all change to 12/31/00 from the dates input in iPhoto. This was not the case in iPhoto '08, so I assume iPhoto '09 uses a new date format that Aperture cannot read.
Has anyone else experienced this and is there an update to Aperture in the works that will correct this?

For anyone else trying to import photos from iPhoto '09 into Aperture while retaining creation dates and comments added in iPhoto, I wanted to post the steps that worked for me.
I am using Aperture v2.1.2, iPhoto 09 v8.01 (397), and System 10.5.6.
1. In iPhoto, add date created and comments in lower left Information box for photo.
2. In iPhoto, select all photos then choose Adjust Date and Time... in menu - change date by 1 second and select 'modify original files'. This will add the date you entered above in the Original Date in the photo EXIF data.
3. Select all photos you want to export from iPhoto to Aperture and export as JPEG, Maximum JPEG Quality, Full Size, and select 'Title and Keywords' - export to a folder
4. Open Aperture and import photos exported from iPhoto retaining All IPTC data.
Your photos in Aperture will now have the correct metadata in Aperture for original date and comments.
There may be a better way of doing this, but since iPhoto was updated to '09, this is the only way I have found to do what was straightforward in iPhoto '08.
