I can't believe I left Dish Network for this....

All I can say is I am glad my 2 yr contract ends in Aug 2014 and I can cut the head off this FIOS TV junk.
We have had problems since day one and the technical support either replaces equipment or says "its supposed to be like that".
We have had to replace the main MR DVR box and the SD box already due to various things from clock display burning out to " loss of signal, check router status and reboot your set top box". And when these pieces of equipment were inoperable, we still paid for service, never once received a credit from Verizon.
The secondary DVR set top box has a mind of its own, freezes while playback, scrambles the picture and/or the remote will stop responding while trying to skip forward or backwards. It will boot you to the end of the show or take you back to the beginning, forcing you to FFWD through the show to the point the set top box kicked you out.
I've asked about credits for and/or lowering my monthly bill now that we are out of the 1 yr period and the Verizon rep's I have spoken with while they are courtious have all but told me, we can't help you and if you don't like it leave at the end of your contract period.
I will happily oblige you Verizon, I will spend the next 6 months researching for a Cable/Satelite TV company that offers competitve rates and offers reliable equipment. It's not the money, its the fact that when I do call for help, I get the impression that it's an inconvienience to request replacement equipment and was even told one time, "do you really need a replacement set top box because the clock doesn't work?" The answer is yes, for what you're taking out of my wallet every month, I expect equipment to be fully functional, including the clock display.
6 Months and counting.......

These are peer to peer forums, but Verizon sometimes does exculate issues.
If you are having issues with your box you know you can swap them out online in your account or on the stb/dvr box menu without having to talk to anyone. You can also go to a fios store.
Honestly though if you are that unhappy with the service why are you even waiting for the contract to run out? Pay the early term fee and move on. With 6 months left thats only a etf of around $70 since the etf drops $10 each month from when you originally signed the contract.

I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers. How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad? Can I use AirPort Express?

Yes. You can directly connect an 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) using an Ethernet cable. The AXn would then just need to be configured as a bridge to allow the D-Link to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all network clients connected to either router.
In this configuration, the AXn would broadcast a wireless network for your wireless network clients to connect to.

If you have WiFI which is not something extremely specific, and I believe it is not - you are fine with network, just go and buy you a computer and enjoy.

I see printer drivers from Canon for that printer for OS X 10.7. but not scanner drivers. If the MF4140 is not recognized by the Image Capture application and Canon technical support cannot offer any assistance, all I can think of to suggest is to try a third-party scan application such as VueScan:

They offer a free trial period so you can see if it works with your Canon.

How can I delete all files not authorized for this computer?

Hi there,
first off, I promise right here and now, that I will never buy a DRMed song or video again...
And here is my probelm: I'm using my Mac and iTunes for ages and all things were perfectly fine. I used to have a girlfriend and both of us had our iTunes accounts and were buying stuff everyday.
After some time we split-up and I kept the computer with the files and the authorization - no worries.
But then my LogicBoard died. Now apart from the fact that all over sudden half of my music that I used to listen to for years doesn't work any longer I also have a lot of explaining with my new GF to do.
Ok, guys, please help me out: How on earth do I find ALL the songs that were bought with that specific account and just delete them? (So what, if half the music is gone, but I have to act one fast!).
thanks for your help!

Just to let everyone know that there seems to be NO solution for this problem. I contacted the iTunes Support and they told me to go through the library one by one and delte all the songs manually.
Well, what can I say? I wasted many hours of my life, I went through thousands of songs and delted hundreds of them manually. I'm very frustrated with Apple that they don't provide a function to solve issues like that more elegantly and I'm even more upset with the content industry. I still feel that the music industry is not interested in people enjoying their legally bought products and hope that the current economic downturn wipes out the music industry as we know it.
I like music, I like to support musicians (not the studio bosses) but I hate the fact that when we purchased DRMed music in times where everyone was using P2P and alternatives like iTunes Plus and Amazon MP3s I, as an honest customer, am now much worse off than if I had pirated the music.
My advice to all: Hands-off DRMed songs and movies! You will end up in trouble even if it seems to be all easy now and it is just not worth the pain!

Can I possibly get Premiere to work for this project?

Hi. I am working on a time lapse scanner photography project. I scan flowers a few times an hour and then make videos of them drying out. I'm currently making a movie of it all. The thing is, the scans can be thousands of pixels high/wide. The problem arises when I make sequences with 20 or more of these videos (scaled down to around 10% in Premiere) moving together. It becomes almost unusable on my older Macbook Pro. Doing the more complex parts of it is also very inconvenient on a new iMac. Because I'm working with so many files, I tried out After Effects. Its proxying feature excited me, but it soon became clear that AE is meant mostly for shorter projects, and not for clips that can get 40 GB + in size. For example, in trying to make tiny proxies of clips last night, only four succeeded. It seems that the rendering is centered on your available RAM, and when it runs out (a few seconds into the first clip) rendering becomes very slow. This might work for ads or something, but not for this project. Maybe I'm not using it correctly though.
So I don't know what to do. I've tried a proxy workaround for Premiere, but that seems to involve working with clips at the resolution you made the proxy at, unlike AE where you can work with a now-more-blurry version of your main file. I tried making a tiny proxy manually, and then upscaling it in Quicktime Pro 7, but that seems to also be slow for Premiere, leading me to think that multiplying the one clip in my test sequence by 20 or more wouldn't be that different.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how do edit a project like this with a reasonably responsive UI? I don't care if I have to spend hours rendering proxies, or rendering the final copy afterwards, I just want to be able to edit without waiting for minutes when I click on a 20 layer part of the movie. I understand that this is probably an abnormal way of using Premiere, as normally one only uses a few layers at a time.
Another idea I had was to do the parts of the movie with 20+ layers in AE, and import them in Premiere to get around AE's focus on shorter lengths. But this doesn't get around the issue that its proxying feature, and rendering engine in general seems to be tailoured towards shorter projects. If you are confused, that's okay, I can elaborate more and provide pictures.
Here's some single videos from the project:

ATI cards will not work for GPU acceleration of the Mercury Playback Engine and only Nvidia cards with at least 1 GB or RAM and at least 96 CUDA cores will allow for a good experience when using the GPU enable Mercury Playback Engine. I have a mediocre GT 240 with 1GB of RAM and it rocks. It is much better than using the software only mode. Software only mode is not bad but GPU enabled is so much better. You will have to trust me on that. A new Macbook Pro would not be wise. In fact $900.00 Dell or HP with at least 96 CUDA cores and 1 GB of RAM would be a much better option. You could in theory get a mediocre $600.00 Quad Core from Best Buy and then buy either a $70.00 Nvidia GT 240 graphics card or even a $135.00 GTX 550 graphics card to put in the system. That would work just as well.

Can anyone please give me the logic for this....

I have a database table and in it i have a field department code. now, that department code might have '00' or ' ' (blank) or anyother value. now i want to add up all the currency amounts with department code '00' and ' ' (blank) which have same company code and currency type. I called all the entries with '00' into one internal table and enrties with ' ' (blank) to other internal table.
can anyone give me the logic for adding all the entries at a time.
thanks in advance.....

HI Srinivas
i have a solution for this question.
Use At control break statement for this.
Loop the internal table.
Use at Event AT LAST. In that use SUM Statement. U will get sum of all the numeric fields.
Or else u can use ON CHANGE OF Currency type
then find the total amount by adding previouse value with ur current value.
Like itab1-amount = total + itab1-amount.
Appent this into ur internal or write it into ur report.
Reward me if its useful.
Regards
Ravi

How do you move a file to the trash with ONE keystroke (Can't believe I'm wasting time on this!)

Everytime I want to send a file to the trash, I have to either perform some kind of key combination/shortcut or use the trackpad/mouse, right click and select "move to trash", or drag the file(s) to the trash! This is absolutely ridiculous. Why can't I just press the delete button??? I cannot take it anymore! It's such a waste of time.
After some research, I finally found a post with the answer I was looking for from user par larsson
Re: How delete a file in mac os x?
"You can also go into System Preferences and make a new keyboard shortcut. I turned one of the function keys into a "Move To Trash" key.
1. No need to use the mouse for something that should be simple and quick.
2. Single button press just like in Windows."
Seriously!
Now the problem is how do you do this?
1. I went to the system prefs > Keyboard > Keyboard and checked "use F1, F2, etc... as standard function keys.."
2. Under keyboard shortcuts, I selected "Application Shortcuts" and clicked on the "+" sign
3. I selected the finder application, entered "Move To Trash" in the action box, and F12 as the key (because it's next to "delete")
That did not work. It just opened the dashboard instead.
4. I went back to "keyboard shortcuts" and found F12 was already assigned to open the dashboard. So I unchecked it and tried again.
That still didn't work. I would select the file to be moved to trash, press F12, and after an error "beep" sound, the last file in the folder was highlighted.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU DID IT! I cannot believe it!
I changed "Move To Trash" to "Move to Trash" and selected a file. I had lost all hope, so I took a minute to prepare myself for yet another moment of deep frustration. Then I pressed F10, and bang! the file was trashed!!! It took me a couple minutes to actually believe what just happened. Thank you so much! If I could, I would "like" you as many times as I can physically hit the "Liked" button!
PS: what the heck is wrong with Apple though??? Wrong instructions, incorrect help instructions on their own site. The chances of figuring this out before having a nervous breakdown were like one in a million (approximately, I did not actually do the math). Last week, the keyboard and the trackpad stopped responding on my brand new macbook pro for a couple hours. I was not the only one with this problem. Apparently, this was from a design flaw, which means it could happen again at any time. iMovie doesn't work. TextEdit keeps crashing all the time. Emptying the trash can take hours.
Since 2000, I bought a PMac G4 Quicksilver, a used PMac G3 Blue, a used iBook G4, a used Pismo PBook G3, a used Graphite iMac G4, a used iMac G3 (green, 233MHz I think) and I already had more problems with this brand new macbook pro than will all the other macs combined... For such an expensive machine, with 16GB of RAM, that's a little dissapointing, especially from Apple. Maybe I'm just not lucky.
Anyways, thanks again! Best moment of 2014!

If remote access is allowed on the server, Then can my users on the local network access this server by ie

Dear all,
If my server is enabled for the remote desktop connection, then the users on the local network can access my server IIS services by entering the IP address of my server in the IE (http/https) on the local network only.
I went to control panel>>system>>Allow Remote desktop Connection>>with network level authentication.
Now If my team wants to access this server not by opening the Remote Desktop Connection, rather by entering the IP address of my server on the IE and access the resources offered.
Is it possible by this way,
Or is there any other method to do so.
Regards,
Ahmed

3. My web Developer is installing an application on the server for our department team. To test this application running, he wants to access this application through the local machine from browser (rather than logging in through the remote desktop connection).
4. He wants this application to run on the local network only.
5. He wants me to do some setup, that he must be able to enter the IP address of the server in the browsers address bar on his local machine and test the functionality of his application on the local network.
If this is the requirements of the developer, I guess he wants you to configure IIS.
You can do a test, whether IIS is working properly.
Log on to server, enter https://localhost or http://IP_address_of_the_server don't know whether some ports are configured in order for your IIS to work.

Can Time Capsule use another local network for backup?

Our LAN has a a separate wireless network solely for backup. The machines on the network use ethernet for routine operations and wireless to access backup disks. Can a Time Capsule access this backup LAN or must the machines all tune into its own wireless network?

Yes, you can. Just mount the disk you want to backup onto and select it in the Time Machine preferences. The backups are deadly slow wirelessly, so you'll want to backup with your mac getting it's internet over FireWire from the computer with the disk attached. But restoring works well wirelessly. As you can probably tell by my description here, I backup to a network volume myself. I do know that you can't backup to the same backup scheme both with a local disk and network volume (same disk).
Hope this helps,
Alex

I can't believe no one has ever had this problem

This has been mentioned on a couple of other forums so
someone surely must have come across this
I'll try again
I am on a PC using XP. I downloaded a trial version of Flash
8. It worked the first couple of times but now refuses to load at
all. Occasionally it gets as far as the little start page, says
copying files then initializing fonts then it disappears and that's
it. I read somewhere that you need to disable the start page
because it is searching the internet for something???? But how on
earth can you disable your start page if you can't get in to the
program in the first place
I have tried this on two different PCs and it still won't
launch. Why do Macromedia always manage to mess things up in the
end?

sounds like a corrupt font to me.

Can't believe I have to ask for help with this

I cannot change the mail view to show the mail at top and message at the bottom. The only way I can open a message is to double click, which is really annoying. I looked in mail help and it tells me that the way I want it is the default view, but if I want a new window to double click.
Any help? I am sure to feel foolish after the answer.
thanks

Just grab it and slide it up.
...or double click on the slider bar, and adjust the size of the preview pane to your desires by sliding as recommended by deh2k.

Formatting problems in templates [was: can't believe I actually have to ask this...]

Hi,
I've been working on some websites that use templates.
I haven't used templates before, and i'm sure i'm making things harder than they need to be, but what has turned out to give me the most headaches is:
Simple formatting stuff. Font color, font size, and alignment.
All I want is to make the font size bigger for one simple phrase, one time. I want to change the font color of one link one time. I want to center one single title and make it black, one time.
I think the css styles from the template are whats making this way harder than it needs to be. I like the settings I've set, most of the time. but i just want it to be easy to adjust these basic things for certain parts of pages that are exceptions.
Thanks!
[Subject line edited by moderator to indicate nature of question]

You dont mention if these different stylings are in an editable region or not. Either way, you can apply an embedded or local set of css rules to any page by inserting in the <head>
<style type="text/css">
</style>
and inserting whatever rules you want to apply to the page. Just make sure this comes after the external css link.
If it is not in an editable region, I suppose you could insert a <span> tag and not have an external rule and only a local rule as mentioned above, so it would be ignored on all pages except that with the local rule, but I am hard pressed to think of a time you might actully use it.
