Deleted Shows off DVR

I had a bunch of shows get deleted off my DVR because it said I didn't have enough space.  Is there anyway to get them back??  
Thanks, Sue

Hi Sue,
Unfortunately the answer is NO. If a recording is deleted by a user, or because the Series Manager is set to only keep a certain number of episodes, it is kept in the Recent Deletes folder (like a computer's recycle bin) until it is overwritten by another recording. In this case you could just go to that folder, select the recording and restore it. But when it is deleted by the DVR to create enough hard drive space to record a new program, the deleted program is immediately overwritten and can no longer be recovered.
Here are your options to prevent this from happening in the future:
Protect your recordings by selecting the Save Until I Delete option. A shield symbol with a plus sign will appear beside each protected recording. This program cannot be deleted except by the user or the Series Manager. Just be aware that while you won't lose these recordings, when you run out of space the new recordings will stop.
Unprotect less important recordings so that they can be overwritten if necessary.
Record more shows in SD rather than HD. HD takes up about 4 times as much disk space making it more likely for you to run out sooner. If you don't need the wide-screen or quality, consider this option.
Schedule fewer recordings.
If you don't already have a 500GB model, upgrade your DVR. But you won't be able to take your recordings with you, so you'll have to watch them all before the exchange.
If you have any DVR model other than a 2708 or 6416, you can expand your recording space with an external hard drive.
As for the recordings you are missing now, you can try searching for them in the On Demand menus, or going online to sites such as Hulu or the individual network sites, or there are pay services such as Netflix.

  • I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there

    I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before, but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them, showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there. Is there a way to get them off? The songs dont show up in my itunes on my computer, just on my ipod with a download button next to them. I don't want them there anymore because i don't like that kind of music anymore and i don't know how to get them to go away.

    There is a similar setting for Videos on that Settings screen, so if you leave that 'on' you may have similar happening in the Videos app

  • Recording tv shows from dvr to my pc

    I have a brighthouse DVR and want to record some of the show's from it,I have a HP 9500y pc equiped with burnning/labaling abilty but no idea how to hook them together,or if it's even possible. any info would be great thanks

    Couple of things to keep in mind here.
    1) Your PC does not have a BlueRay drive.   DVD native resolution is NTSC, ie: low def, not high def.  While
    software exists to convert you lose resolution and the show is going to look terrible.
    2) Your brighthouse DVR I suspect is the one supplied by your cable TV provider, brighthouse?
    If that is the case then almost certainly it is not going to have any way for the typical consumer to
    make archival copies of TV shows because they want you to fill up your DVR so you have to delete
    your old TV shows and get more from them (and continue to pay them, of course)
    If you really want to record TV shows off brighthouse cable then this is what your going to have to do:
    1) Scrap your DVR
    2) Buy a PC that has Windows 7 on it.
    3) Buy a TV tuner card (There's an inexpensive USB one for about $50 that works great)
    4) If you subscribe to premium cable (ie: encrypted TV) then you will have to buy a
    TV tuner card for the PC that has the slot in it for the cable-company supplied decryption
    card.  Once you get it working with unencrypted cable you call the cable company to
    come out and plug in the decryption card.
    5) Download a number of free conversion and video editing programs.  Project X is one of
    the best free ones out there.
    6) Record your TV show then convert it from the .ts file to a AVI file using a codec of your
    choice.  Popular ones are MPEG4, DiVX, etc.    This will not only shrink it down but it
    will put it in a format that allows you to edit it to crop out the commercials.
    7) Buy more hard drives.  You will quickly find it much cheaper to create a library of
    external USB hard drives (1-2 terabyte jobs) then to try to burn shows to optical media.
    Have you priced blank bluray media lately?  Not to mention the burners.
    You need Win 7 because earlier versions of windows do not allow TV tuners to decode the
    Cable TV standard off the cable line (at least, not for the cheap tuner cards, the expensive
    ones contain software that will do it)
    Keep in mind I do not have brighthouse, I looked at their website but I decided not to
    waste a lot of time on it since it's not clear what exactly kind of content provider they are.
    If they are not a cable provider but instead your getting stuff over the Internet from them
    to your DVR, then a TV tuner card isn't going to do much good of course.  If that is the
    case then short of taking apart the DVR and taking the hard disk out and sticking it
    in a PC to get the raw files off the DVR, your pretty much screwed.

  • Ok, I have deleted EVERYTHING off my 16gb ipad. Photos, music, apps. All I have are the standard apps. It says I have used 11gb and only have 1.6 left. When I first bought it I had up to 4 movies and lots of apps, no problems. What's going on please!?

    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Just downloaded ios7 and my phone wont let me delete music off of it

    my phone isnt letting me delete music off of it

    Hey jan131,
    Thanks for the question. With iOS 7, you can delete a song by doing the following:
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    via page 62 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Please note that if you have "Show All Music" enabled in Settings > iTunes & App Store, the above will delete the song from your device, but it will still appear available (with a cloud symbol to re-download).
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I have bought music directly on my ipod,i have also bought films and music on itunes on my computer, how do i get them all onto my computer without accidentally deleting everything off my ipod? I did this a while a go and had to spend 100's re-buying

    Help! I have bought music directly onto my ipod, i have also bought films and music directly onto my computer from itunes, how can i put them all onto the computer? My ipod is acting a little odd and i think its going to break at some point, so i really want to save everything i've bought. Last year i tried to sync them thinking that my music would go onto the computer, but it actually just deleted everything off my ipod, i haven't been game to try anything again.

    Transfer iTunes purchases by:

    If you are in the USA and soe other places yu can redownload apps, music, TV show (not movies), books via iCloud. See:

  • Multiple problems with syncing deleting media off iPhone

    The syncing process on the iPhone is very frustrating.
    As all know, with the iPod, if I wanted to put a song I had in iTunes onto my iPod, all I had to do was connect my iPod, click on the song in iTunes, and drag it on to my iPod. Easy. No more. With iPhone, I have to sync in order to move anything.
    What's worse, if I delete anything out of my iTunes for any reason, I ultimately have to delete it off of the iPhone as well. Here’s why: as mentioned above, in order to add a song, I have to sync. Let’s say I have my iPhone set up to sync certain playlists only, e.g., “red,” “green,” and “blue.” If I sync my iPhone and let’s say, song “A” is currently on my iPhone in the red playlist, but has been deleted out of iTunes, my iPhone will delete it. If I try to avoid this problem – i.e., I want to keep red the way it is, so I only want to sync green and blue, and thus uncheck red in the “sync selected playlists” section, my red playlist is deleted off of my iPhone altogether. Why?
    This is a problem for multiple reasons. For one, my computer is running out of space. Media takes up a lot of space. I would like to be able to delete things off of my computer without having to lose them in order to sync my iPhone (for anything - iTunes, Outlook, etc). Similarly, I can’t import any songs into iPhone without buying them in iTunes on my computer and then syncing, so if I want to both add new songs and retain the songs I already have on my iPhone, I must keep them on my computer.
    I've already suffered the consequences. I deleted 40 hours of lectures (which I have on CD) off of my computer once I put them onto my iPhone, and now the iPhone has just wiped them all out as well. Terrific. I’m not about to reimport all those lectures now. It would take hours, and I’ve already done it once. I am very angry that a $600 piece of equipment has a problem that did not exist on my three-year-old iPod.
    And other similar syncing issues abound. If I try to tell the iPhone not to sync video with my computer, it DELETES the video off of my phone. Similarly, with photos – if I don’t want it to sync anymore, because I want to keep my photos the way they are on the iPhone, I can't just tell it not to sync photos. If I do that, it deletes them. This makes no sense to me.
    If these syncing problems weren't enough, iTunes no longer lets me play songs from my iPhone on my computer. This was never true with my iPod, and I fail to understand how this enhances security issues, since I was already unable to move media from my iPod back onto my computer.
    At the moment (it is 4 AM), I am now sitting at my computer re-syncing everything that I hadn't already deleted off my computer. It is incredibly, unbelievably, mind-numbingly frustrating, and I am NOT a person who gets frustrated by technology. Someone please help - I hope that I'm either missing an easy fix or that Apple is going to update the software immediately.

    Tap Settings App>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
    Take to place (Apple Center) that fixed it before and ask them to show you the steps to keep your iPhone working.

  • Why cant i delete songs off my iphone?

    so all i want to do is delete JUST ONE BAND off of my iphone to make room for other things.. the band is already deleted out of my itunes library. the files, themselves, have been thrown in my trash and deleted permanently. BUT, the band is still on my iphone. i tried syncing my iphone and it said that my iphone would need 44.1 MB of extra space.. i went into the syncing options and clicked "selected playlists, albums, artists, and genres" and unchecked every single option possible. i tried syncing that so it would delete EVERYTHING off my iphone so i could simply resync my library (minus the music i want gone). when i tried that, it shows (in the bar at the bottom) that i would have 54 GB free. but when i click sync, it says my iphone will be 1 MB over capacity.. really? since when do i have only a 2 GB harddrive on my phone?
    why is it so **** difficult to simply delete a band off my phone? ive checked google and this site for answers, but NONE of them offered a solution..

  • I had music on my i tunes that I deleted.  When I sync my iphone the music that was deleted shows up.  How do I get rid of the music I do not want on my iphone?

    I had music on my i tunes that I deleted.  When I sync my iphone the music that was deleted shows up.  How do I get rid of the music I do not want on my iphone?

    Connect your I-phone to i-tunes , click on music . Not the one in the library but the music that opened up when you connected to i-tunes . Highlight the complete album or songs you want deleted, then right click and delete. Once you deleted the songs off you i-phone, then click the music from the library of your i-tunes. If that same music or album is also in there then repeat what you did in the i-phone to delete . This should take it all out.
    good luck

    Your iPad is physically out of storage space. Purchasing space in iCloud dosen't magically give your actual iPad more physical  storage space.
    You need to delete content off of your iPad.

  • HT201317 Once photostream pictures are downloaded onto my mac will they stay in iPhoto forever after i have deleted them off of my phone?

    Once photostream pictures are downloaded onto my mac will they stay in iPhoto forever after i have deleted them off of my phone?

    When I synced my iPhone I my Mac , it automatically created a file called photo stream and imported all photos from phone into that file on my Mac.
    Do you mean the "Photo Stream" album in the "Web" section of iPhoto? Like shown here?
    If that is the only place where you are seeing your photos, in "my Photo Stream" in the "Web" section of Photo, then you need to copy these photos to an event to import them into the library.
    The Photo Stream album is only showing you what currently can be imported from iCloud, and the photos will vanish after a month, so you are having a limited time to grab them.
    If you have enabled "Automatic Import" in iPhoto's Photo Stream Preferences, it should already have created an event "July Photo Stream" and other monthly events with the photos from the streams. What find in these monthly events has been savely imported.

  • Blackberry 8330 - Deleteing email off both Blackberry & Home Computer

    I currently have a Blackberry 8330, v4.5.0.186 (Platform 3.4.0.59).
    I used to be prompted to delete emails off both my blackberry and my home computer's Windows Mail.  I think after updating the Blackberry, this option was no longer available, which requires me to read emails on my Blackberry and then to have to delete them off my home computer.
    Does anyone know of a way that I can restore this function to my Blackberry?
    Thanks in advance.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When you say "updating the BlackBerry" do you mean you updated the software or you upgraded the device from an older device?
    When you open an email, scroll up into the headers.  Next to "Received Using" does it list the email address or does it say unknown?
    If it says "unknown" you may just need to resend your service books. 
    Go to the icon on your device that says Email Setup (Manage Internet Email on some devices) and go into the setup for your email.  There is an option to "resend service books."
    If it shows your email address then it doesn't hurt to go ahead and resend the service books anyway but then you'll need to:
    Go into Messages >Options >Email Reconciliation.
    Choose the Message Service in question (there may be multiple ones if you have more than one email address set up on the device.
    Then change "Delete On" to "Prompt."
