Help installing new dvr

Hi, i just ordered another DVR for a room that i am now renting out(was empty before). The room has a coxial cable outlet, but when i plug in the dvr, it says it cannot auto set-up. almost as if it doesnt detect a coaxial cable.
I checked outside of my house in the tv box to see if any cables were'nt connected, but they all seemed to be plugged in.
Any advice would be great. My next step would be to have verizon come out and check but id rather save the $50 if i can. Thanks

Yep.
Now you need to find the splitter and figure out why that coax in the new room doesn't work (isn't connected). I of course have no idea of the layout of your home, but from the ONT (the box outside) there should be one coax that leads somewhere inside the house, and it should end at the splitter (frequently but certainly not aways in the basement or attic). Or start with the coax in the new room and see if you can find where it goes. Or start with the coax that you know works and follow it. But the net is, you need to find the splitter and attach the coax for the new room to it. Now if the existing splitter does not have an available unused connection you will need to get a new splitter with more coax connections - if you see a Verizon truck in the neighborhood, or you have a Verizon store nearby that handles FiOS, you may be able to get a splitter just by asking (I have done that in the past). Or you can buy one in lots of stores, just make sure that it has enough connections, is rated for at least 5-1000MHz, and is by-directional.
Are you having fun yet?

Help Installing new fonts

Ive looked over the wiki page regarding installing new fonts and am finding it a bit confusing. The wiki suggests creating a package and lists provides and example but I am still unsure how exactly to use it.
Lets say my font is downloaded to: ~/Desktop/font.ttf
What exactly would I edit in this code, and then what would i type to package it and then install it?
pkgname=ttf-fontname
pkgver=1.0
pkgrel=1
depends=('fontconfig' 'xorg-font-utils')
pkgdesc="custom fonts"
arch=('any')
source=(http://someurl.org/$pkgname.tar.bz2)

New tech help install new hard drive

Installing a new drive in late 2007 MBP. Read about cloning drives et al. using carbon cloner.
Instructions for cloning to an already formatted external verbatim HD - by dividing an existing partition looks simple enough.
http://help.bombich.com/kb/overview/formatting-your-hard-drive-for-use-with-carb on-copy-cloner
I would do the clone just to see how it works and have a bootable copy of my existing drive...
But what I'd like to do is - Fresh Install - everything, and pull desired data over manually from time machine back up I have on external.
QUESTION - after I install the new "unformatted drive" into computer what happens when I start it up since there is no operating system? Will I just be able to restart and use my Snow Leopard disk - NOT ORIGINAL COMPUTER INSTALLATION DISKS - to format drive and install OS ?
If so, I would do software upgrades, then install applications and updates, then get my data from time machine back up.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
David Stamm

You will need to do this:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. When formatting is completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.
When done you will boot into the newly installed system on the newly installed drive. You can then restore what you want from your backup.

Help installing new JDBC driver on LINUX

Hello,
Today, I downloaded the new SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver onto
my Linux Server. The path to the driver's .jar file is
/root/sqljdbc_1.0/enu/sqljdbc.jar. I placed that path in my CF
Adminstrator "Java and JVM" page's Class Path field. I restarted
the app server but each time I try to establish a dsn connection I
keep getting this error. (note: I have dsn's set up already to this
instance of SQL Server 2005 so the communicatio is there but I
would prefer to use this new driver)
Connection verification failed for data source: dsnTestDB
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver available for
dsnTestDB, please check the driver setting in resources file,
error: null
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable
driver available for dsnTestDB please check the driver setting in
resources file, error: null
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
mdg1
Houston, TX

Try placing the jar file in the
{cfmx-root}/runtime/servers/lib (create if not already there)
directory if you have the server install or the
{jrun-root}/servers/lib directory if you have the multiserver or
j2ee install on JRun. Restart the Coldfusion applicatioin server.

Installing new DVRs -- report

After getting valuable assistance on this forum a few days ago with buying a new internal DVD SuperDrive and also an external drive (both Pioneer DVR 117D, from OWC), I thought I would report on what happened with the installations, in case it might assist somebody else in the future.
The internal install went ok except there were some discrepancies between my experience and both the OWC installation video and the Apple "Optical Drive Replacement Instructions" pdf (from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2580?viewlocale=en_US ). I was glad I had access to both of them, but still I had a couple of minor issues come up:
1) the ribbon cable was stuck onto the top of the (original) drive with a reusable adhesive, so it was not possible to leave the cable attached to the logic board, it had to be unplugged and re-stuck onto the new drive, as per Apple's pdf.
2) It was almost impossible at first to remove the power cable from the old drive. After resorting to prying at it with a butter knife I finally got it to start budging and slowly wedged it back and forth till it came out.
3) I found it quite a bit harder than shown in the video to remove the bezel from the new internal drive.
4) the "raw edge" that is left after removing the bezel is not too nice looking. I searched and found a suggestion that led me to pry the tiny bezel off the old internal drive (it was stuck on with a very thin double-faced foam adhesive tape) so I can stick it onto the new drive, as soon as I decide what kind of available adhesive would be best.
--- The external seemed fine until I tried to burn a couple of DVDs from Toast. I was unable to do it as I kept getting the "Buffer Underrun Error" -- At first I thought the problem was that I had chosen to use the USB cable rather than the firewire, but switching to firewire made no difference in the problem.
So I looked for info and consequently cleaned my system cache (using Pnyx). Just then I discovered that System Profiler was not reporting things correctly; it said the drive had "0 kb" cache, and omitted the +R, +RW, and +RDL media from its list (it was even more odd in that from Toast's drive info the ispecs showed correctly, showing 2000 kb cache and all the media listed as it should be). Somebody suggested zapping the PRAM as a way to make the OS re-recognize the drive(s). This did work, and now System Profiler gives the right info.
All has been functioning perfectly ever since.

Not Pnyx but Onyx !

Need help installing new hard drive and wiping the old one for Windows XP.

I’ve searched to try and figure out the answer to my question and haven’t been too successful, so hopefully someone can help me out. I have a new Mac Pro that I haven’t even turned it on yet because I’m waiting for some upgrades to show up. Here is what I plan to do, I’m unsure of what I need to do and what order to do it in:
It has a stock 250GB hard drive that I plan to wipe and install Windows XP on. I have a new 750GB drive coming that will run Leopard which will be my primary OS. Once I have this set up, I will probably try running VM Fusion which I assume I can install later on. Here are my questions:
When I put my new blank 750GB drive in to install Leopard, will OS X boot up off the Leopard install disc to then allow me to do the install?
When do I wipe the smaller drive to put Windows on it, before or after I’ve installed Leopard on the new drive? How should I wipe it, using the Bootcamp setup assistant or Disc Utility? If I wipe it after installing Leopard, will I be prompted for which drive to boot from?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't use Windows, but I think the proper order to do things would be this:
First, if your Mac Pro came with Tiger installed, when you start it up for the first time, you'll need to go through some initial setup, create an administrator account, etc. You can go ahead and do this.
Afterwards, you can install your 750 GB drive. Next, you can insert your Leopard disk, and go to System Preferences/Startup Disk to choose to start up from the disk. (Alternatively, if you just choose "Install Mac OS X" from the disk, it will instruct you to restart the mac.)
When the mac boots from the disc, install Leopard on your 750. Once you have that done, and have booted from that drive, you'll be able to erase your 250 in Disk Utility, and then install Windows on it.

Please help Installing new Hard Drive. PLEASE HELP

I know this topic has been posted before and I have read all the reviews but still nothing ..
I m trying to install a new hd. I put the screws where there needed to go, plugged in all appropriate SATA plugs into new HD, went to dicl utility and no new HD shows up to initialize or format. Please help me .. I have purchased a 500 gb Seagate HD from ramjet.
Item:
Seagate 500GB SATA II 7200rpm 16mb
Specifications:
Capacity: 500GB
Performance
Rotational Speed: 7200rpm
Buffer Size: 16mb
Transfer Rate
Serial ATA (G/s): 3.0G/sec
Average Seek: < 8.5ms
Average Latency: 4.16ms
I have installed and uninstalled the new HD about 5 times already. Please help me

On older ATA drives there are little plastic tabs that, depending on configuration, designate a drive as "Master" or "Slave." If both drives are configured as "master" it can sometimes cause one not to be seen by the computer.
I only mentioned it because:
A) I had it happen 2x with my old G4.
B) Most new drives are shipped with the jumpers in "master" position, I'm guessing because they assumed most people were replacing their primary drives, not adding them.
Check out these links for more about jumpers on drives.

Novice needs help installing new hard drive

I have a macbook and purchased a new hard drive after my current hard drive failed. I can remove the battery, unscrew the 3 screws, install the new hd. What are the steps that follow to bring my machine up to being back to normal? Let's approach this with "color by numbers" type instruction. Thanks

Bama--
You score points for guts. Novice changing HDD is not one I see often. You also lose points for not getting directions first before starting. (I work in education, and thus grade a lot of work and exams.)
As this is an open book/open note exam for you, best you look here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/MacBook13inch_HardDriveDIY.pdf. If this is not your MacBook, then we'll need just a bit more info to steer you in the right direction.
There is no time limit on this exam.
Best of luck--

Help installing new hard drive

The original hard drive in my powerbook went out and I bought a Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD3200BEVE 320GB 5400 RPM 2.5" ATA-6 to replace it. However, when I boot from the OS X disk and run the disk utility to format the drive I am unable to locate it in the list of available dirves. Only my DVD drive is listed. Am I missing a step?

So I am assuming that you already have it installed into the Powerbook? If so then see if you can boo the mac into Firewire Target Disk Mode. This will help troubleshoot whether or not you have the drive installed correctly.
To boot the Mac into TDM:
Power-on the Mac and immediately press and hold the "t-key" until the firewire symbol appears. If you cannot boot into TDM then you may need to recheck the installation of the HDD.

HELP installing new version of iTunes to PC

I keep getting this error message when attempting to install iTunes to my PC. "This installer is intended for 32bit versions of Windows. Please download and install the 64bit iTunes installer instead

So that means you are running the 64 bits version of Windows7 and you need to go back to the download site and choose for the 64 bits version of iTunes.
You should get a file called itunes64setup.exe and can be found when you scroll down the page and look for the bullet point under windows: *64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 require the iTunes 64-bit installer*

Need help installing new itunes version on older mac for nano syncing

I purchased a new nano and new music, but can't get the nano sync because desktop mac is requesting me to upgrade the iTunes version.
When I do, it says "This update requires OS X version 10.7.5 or later." How does this get done?

Which exact model computer? To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
https://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/6th_generation/getstarted/
Basically you're stuck unless you can upgrade OS. There's no other way to transfer music to the device.

Hi everyone!
I tried to update a few apps from my iPhone, and to install new applications from APPSTORE. But i got a message :" Your Apple ID has been disabled"!!!!!!
What can i do now? Can you help me please?
The same thing happend with my IPAD....
How can i do to function all this in the same way which was working till this problem appears.
I want to mention that i have 2 email adresses asociated with the same Apple ID.
wait for an feedback!
Thanks a lot!

Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
