How come FIOS can enable voicemail on TV but not SATA without major 1.9 upgrade?

As one of the relatively few who still doesnt have the 1.9 upgrade, could someone explain to me technically how it is possible to add/upgrade certain hardware features without an entire IMG upgrade, like the new and very good on screen voicemail playback and deletion, but not other features, such as SATA expansion or multi-hub recognition?
Thanks...

Because voicemail for example has no external implications. There is no copyright to violate, there are no external devices to certify. The problems with the external SATA drive are largely related to copyright issues rather than technical issues. You can thank the content providers and the lawyers for that state of affairs. Software controlled devices can be viewed as state engines with a truly immense number of states, which means any major feature requires enormous testing, and even then, it is likely some 'bugs' will get through the testing program.
In short, it is a lot more complicated that simply enabling the port because of the 'external' issues.

How come my comments are visible in iweb but not on published site?

I published my site (after many frustrating attempts and publish errors) and had allowed comments. I made a blog entry and published to .mac and found out from a friend that that particular entry didn't have an option to add a comment. I tried to republish many times - I don't know how it happened but the comment option showed up eventually. I had the same thing happen again today so I tried publishing again but this time I tried publishing to a folder. Not sure if this caused the problem but now one comment on the blog disappeared and the rest are only visible in iweb and not on the published site - on the published site there isn't an opportunity to add comments where they used to be. Can I get the comments back on my site?
Thank you for any help.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Oh, rats. Do I need to remove the folder that I published to? I'm not even sure where to find it. I have republished successfully with the comments still in iweb but they don't show up on-line. I'd really like to get them back on if possible.

How come I can see my div in design view but not in live view

Hi,
I have a div ID called "portfolio" that I can see in design view but not live view or on a browser. It's a little pink square and I want that square round also.
I ran it through validator. It picked up some things in the style.css which I changed and the boilerplate.css that I did not. Because I thought DW auto creates code for boilerplate because I don't enter that code myself.
It's also rejecting a lot of webkit code but this seems like standard webkit code that works elsewhere on the page.
BTW: at what point does this brutal hand coding pay off in money and less heartache when Wordpress looks cleaner and is so much easier to use? I feel like I barely know HTML or CSS in terms of translating vision to reality and with all-browser functionality after months and months of on-line classes. How long are the pros at it till they reach a watershed point?
here's my address: http://www.adjacentdimensionsmedia.com/home.html
Here's my html:
<body>
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
    <div id="div1" class="fluid"><img src="adtitle2.png" width="700" height="80" alt=""/></div>
<div class="fluid"><div class="box-shad"><a href="index.html"></a></div>
</div>
    <div id="portfolio">Portfolio</div>
</body>
Here's my CSS:
.box-shad {
margin-top: 200px;
margin-left: 100px;
width: 900px;
height: 700px;
display: block;
background-image: url("images/Big-tree-trans1.png");
background-size: 900px 700px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 15px 15px 15px #000000 inset;
box-shadow: 15px 15px 15px #000000 inset;
-webkit-border-radius: 50%;
border-radius: 50%;
position: fixed;
.box-shad a {
    display:block;
    width:900px;
    height:700px;
#portfolio {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 200px;
margin-left: 200px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
border-radius: 75%;
-webkit-border-radius: 75% 75%;
background: pink;
top: -300px;
position: relative;

The top:-300 is putting that div above the top of the browser viewport. Fix that and you'll see the div.

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud

How come I can't add a song to my playlists in itunes match? Is it me or itunes match? It keeps on coming up with a message " iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, the playlist will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer"?
You must surely be able to add and subtract songs on specific playlist?

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

The iPad 1, coming up on three years since it was introduced, has been given two major and a number of minor upgrades to iOS, more than many tablet manufactures provide. The iPad 1's hardware just can't effectively support many of the features in iOS 6. So I don't think that it's particularly unfair for Apple to no longer provide updates. And yes, I do own and manage a number of iPad 1s.

How come I can't use the back gesture in certain apps with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion OS?

How come I can't use the back gesture with my magic mouse on certain applications in Lion? I figured out that in Safari i have to use a 1 finger swipe to go back a page instead of 2 fingers like i used to do in Snow Leopard. But apps like iTunes and iPhoto and i can't do that. Any ideas? is there a setting im missing to make this work? It works in Safari but not any other applications, so im assuming theres no setting for this. Just want to know if this is just a bug that will be fixed in the next update or if its something I can fix now. Any help would be appreciated because its kind of annoying. Other than this minor issue I love Lion. Full screen apps are unbelievable.

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:

HT2404 I just clicked on Software Updates; BUT nothing shows what's happening? How come I can't see the updates & time it will take?

Help! I just got this Lion, and SO many changes & not necessarily for the better !
I went to the Apple icon, but "Software Updates" did not show ... though I had deferred installing some updates ...
Finally it showed up, I clicked on it, saw the updates to do - BUT when I clicked on install - the "box" that usually shows the updates & how long to install - just disappeared! I can't get to it to see what's next. (I have to leave soon & will turn off the mac)
What's happening? How come I can't see the updates as they are installed, & how much time it will take?
How do I know IF they have been installed? Is this the "new Normal" for Lion? Or is there a glitch in my mac somewhere?
How about updates you download from Apple (not bought) - they go to Downloads on the Sideboard, but are they installed automatically, & put where they belong too? Is there no more restart, etc.?
- I just went to Systems Preference, to see the "Installed Software" - shows they were ... but don't I have to restart anymore? Are all updates now automatically placed where they belong?
Thanks to any who can help
PS One other question - just checked my "profile" & it has my email addy that's 4 years old... how do I change That?

How come I can't download anything from mac app store?
I've tried everything it all started when my apple app store icon in the doc disappeared.
It will not go to the Mac App Store
I have a MacBook Pro 2010 intel
os mac mountain lion 10.8.6 however I do not have the original copy that was downloaded from the app store when I bought it.
I NEED TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL TO GET MY APP STORE ICON BACK
Please if anyone can help apple doesn't seem to care?

If you need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.8.x (there is no 10.8.6 yet, by the way), restart your Mac, hold down the Option key so you see all the bootable partitons, and boot to the Recovery Partition. From there you can reinstall Mountain Lion. You will need a good Internet connection.

HT4972 how come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube or pinerest app? it keeps giving me a message to use iOS5

How come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube and pinerest app? i keep getting a message to update to iOS5 if i must use iOS5 how do i update to that one because it just took me 4 hours to figure out how to update to iOS6

We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work. We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either. The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps. ***** doesn't it.
