Fios Tv can no longer be called "STUNNING" after img 1.60 update!

SD picture quality is now very, very soft (almost out of focus). All video settings on both my HD-DVRs and both televisions have been verified and set correctly. This new "update" that Verizon has sent has now taken the "WOW" factor out of Fios. This is also the experience of other subscribers as evidenced by their posts on other forums such as "dslreports.com". I am still within my 90 trial period and am seriously considering cancelling my service. Had this issue been existent at time of installation I would have told the technicians to take it all back out. My DirecTv picture quality was noticeably better. I realize this is primarily an SD PQ issue but there are quite a few Fios channels I watch that are not available in HD. I'm sure if "PC Magazine" (referenced in all Fios ads) were to have seen this, they would never have called it "STUNNING".

The video drivers for Motorola boxes are available with different output and quality parameters. The top quality setting requires more memory and memory bandwidth. The lower quality settings make more memory and more memory bandwidth available for the software, but at the expense of picture quality. It has something to do with compression of decoded video data within the CPU; the highest quality setting might use 24-bit color whereas the lower quality setting might be "effective" 18-bit or 20-bit color after compression.
It sounds like Verizon adjusted those driver parameters to provide more memory and memory bandwidth (and therefore performance) for IMG 1.6, at the expense of picture quality on the 6000 models. If the 7000 is not affected, then that would suggest to me that the 7000 has more memory, i.e. enough memory to support IMG 1.6 with the higher quality output mode.
I do know that FiOS picture quality from the TivoHD is now significantly better than the 6416 DVR, whereas the differences pre-1.6 were much more subtle.

IOS 6.1.3 Update on iphone 5- can no longer make calls

Hello
Since upgrading this morning I can no longer make calls.
Sometimes the call drops as it starts to ring. Sometimes it tries to make the connection for 10 secs again but then give me the dreaded 3 beeps.
Was perfect until I upgraded - but not now.
Help!

I have discovered that my iTunes media folders permissionslî(file attributes) were read only, and that is why the iTunes program was unable to see my music, except the cloud songs. When I changed the permissions and then "added the folder" iTunes was able to see all my itunes media. However after closing out iTunes and rue entering, the music and Apps were no longer visible. Looking again at the iTunes file permissions in windows, I found they were again designated "read only". I changed them again and add folder, but something is causing the file attributes of my iTunes folders to be "read only". Please provide any insight or suggestions for correcting.

We have a 5s active on our account. After turning on a previously active 4s (it had the same number) The 5s can no longer place call and when you call it from another phone the 4s rings, but will not pick up. Texting over the cell networks works fine.

hens0861,
Hmm, let's ensure this is working as it should be! So what phone should be active on your account? Did you switch the devices online or how to did you activate the 5s? Please share details.

No you can't.
Reboot your iPad: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME for up to 30 seconds, until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You won't lose any data settings. When your iPad restarts see if you can access iTunes.

I can no longer open any PDF after my trial of Acrobat XI Pro finished...Help

I would try using this tool to first remove all traces of Acrobat from your computer:

Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

I-tunes can no longer 'locate' my library , after a botched cut & paste attempt to back-up onto an external drive.Cant play any music as it "can't find" the library Still syncing with i-Pod but playlists lost , podcasts no longer syncing. How to restore back to original state . I have tried re-installing - with no change

I do the same thing as you do...
My music is on an external drive as to not use up gigabytes of storage that need not be used for media.
There are a couple basic principles to iTunes that I believe you should know.
1. iTunes is not a media storage program. It does not store your media "in iTunes". It simply is an organization tool for your media already on a hard disk.
2. As iTunes is not a storage mechanism, it has no way to "know" whether or not the media that is listed is actually there. This is where the "design" of iTunes comes into play.
I like to think of iTunes as a bread-crumb trail. The "music" in iTunes, isn't actually there. The bread crumb is the location on the external hard drive.
If that bread crumb trail disappears (in this case the external drive you use). If said external drive is not plugged in, that bread crumb trail is not able to be followed. iTunes is "lost" and unable to find the media. The only way to remedy this is to place the media on your local drive.
To address your issue of the library. If you hold down shift, you can select your library on your external drive. It will be a file with an .itl extension. The folder name will be your external drive.
I go into edit > preferences > advanced and set my library to the correct location. Make sure you check the box "Copy to iTunes Folder when importing" (or whatever it says).
You can't fix the issue of iTunes not seeing the media if your drive is unplugged unless you physically move the content to your OS HDD...Or any other HDD you use.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

WRT54G2 - can no longer access router webpage after changing setting

hello i've started gaming again so i ended up configuring a static IP using the network and sharing centre in the control panel and i'm online with the fixed IP, and i had some ports forwarded in my router web page and everything has been working great the past 2 days. however, earlier this morning i could not join any games all of a sudden even tho i played 1 when i just got up, so i went to my router home page and changed a setting, i'll link a screen shot, i'm pretty sure i just changed the local IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.10 (which is what i set it as 2 days ago in the control panel network tcp ip4 thing) it's possible i modified somethin in the dchp server section but i was nearly convinced that was disabled anyways. http://screenshots.portforward.com/routers/Linksys/WRT54G2/Basic_Setup.htm is the link if it helps
anyways like the thread title says, i can no longer access the router web page which was 192.168.1.1, instead all i see is a sickening image about something called internet information services!? talk about a weird thing to see when i expected to see my router web page. but it's related to microsoft so it's not malacious at least. any ideas on how i fked up so bad and how to fix it, so i can see the router web page again, and edit the settings back to the way it was this morning

I can't access either and c ant get a connection plugging in my laptop I got a new modem and I'm trying to configure my modem to my wrt54g2 and lost
Hi randallel, you may have to do a hard reset before reconfiguring your router with the new modem. To do the proper reset, please press down the reset button for 30 seconds while the power is on. Release the button and unplug the device. Plug it back in and reinstall the settings based on the type of Internet connection that you have. Hope this helps.

Can´t make internet calls anymore, after firmware ...

Hi
New in here, so sorry if it is a stupid question.
Long story short, I had some issues with my e51 (lagging and so forth) so I decided to firmware update it (newest version). Previously (old version was from 04 2008) I could just chose internet call and it would use my SIP/Viop settings and just make the call.
Now I try to get to work again, so I setup my voip account as it was before... but not now I can only chose ordinary call or video call... internet call is no longer there... **bleep**!
Please help guys
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Have you created also VoIP profile?
(Tools->Settings->Connection->Internet tel )
Is your SIP profile registered?

Apple TV can no longer connect to network after upgrade.

I had heard that lots of people were affected with this problem with the software upgrade before this one so I deliberately waiting until this one came out before taking a chance. I was wrong.
After updating to 4.4. (3140) I can no longer connect to my network. It says there was a problem and gave the error messaged number: (5) in brackets.
I've had nothing but problems with both Apple TV's that I have owned, version 1 and this new version 2. I've a good signal from my router and I've used three different ones over the time I've had the two apple tvs.
Anyone got any ideas.
I can't connect the apple tv directly because they are too far apart in the house. I can only connect by wifi.
There is nothing wrong with my wifi because I'm connected to it fine though my imac, iphone and ipad and laptop, (not all at the same time)

Ok, here's a solution, courtesy of our friends at AppleCare.
Unplug the router for 90 seconds.
I was running ATV2 with a Time Capsule. The TC thought the ATV was still connected using its former IP address so wouldn't let it reconnect with a new one.
Hope this works for anyone else with same problem.

My iPod Touch can no longer download Podcast Videos after upgrading to iOS4

After upgrading OS 3.1.3 to iOS4, My iPod Touch (2nd Generation) can no longer download such video podcasts as NBC News, CBS News, ABC News and Cranky Geeks from iTunes store. The moment the download starts, there is always an annoying prompt "this video cannot be played on this iPod".
It's really frustrating!!!

Same thing happening to mine also, still cant find a reason.

Webex can no longer connect to meetings after upgrading to Yosemite.

I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 and found thereafter that Webex, which is a screen share application used for online meetings, can no longer connect to Webex services using the most current versions of Safari, FireFox and Chrome. Java scripts are enabled, pop ups allowed on all browser and yet the problem persists. Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

There was nothing that I did to make it work--it just started working again in Safari. However, it takes a few minutes after I click on Login and then the meeting comes up in another window behind the one I logged in on. I just tried it in Firefox and it now works there; still does not work in Chrome. All three browsers still have the following message in a black banner at the top: "Your browser version is not supported for use with WebEx and may not provide an optimal experience.To view browsers that support the best WebEx experience, go here." One thing I did do that may have enabled it to work in Firefox was to remove Silverlight, which is a Windows app and I'm not even sure how it got on my computer. I was told that it has a similar plug-in as the WebEx plug-in. I'm still searching for answers.

Can no longer connect to Photostream after installing Photos

Photos has deleted my iPhoto Photostream and Shared photos sidebar items.
iPhoto can no longer connect to iCloud photos. Does anyone know if this is because the Photos app has made this feature incompatible now? I am concerned I'll not be able to get access to this feature again. It's a big worry!

Same thing here on all my devices. Basically it seems like there is a web page that the device attempts to connect to confirm internet connectivity after joining a WiFi network which seems to now be a bad link.

Can no longer burn audio cd's -- urgent -- is iTunes update defective?

I'm a composer-- we're getting ready to record another cd and I desparately need help here!!
I can no longer burn an audio cd from a play list! It burns but not as an audio. I also looked on directions and I'm supposed to be able to do this.
These are my tunes that I wrote and uploaded into the library and then moved to a play list
When trying to figure out what happened, I noticed that itunes had been automatically updated to the most current version on my computer --
I was still on 10.3 which doesn't support it -- I've since downloaded the 10.3.9 (plus checked other required software that's supposed to be updatyed) and still cannot burn the cd's
Please help --

I won't pretend this is a welcome suggestion...but if worst comes to worst, you could consider purchasing Toast.
