Need help with my TOP Box--can't change the channels

I can't change the channels, go to Guide or Menu by using the Remote Control. (it's not the remote control because i use this remote for my other topbox and it works fine)
This happened a few hours after i had my Fios installed. (at first, it let me change the channels, then 5 times,2 and now i cant)
Does any one have the same problem and have a solution for this?
Thank you very much.

do the front display buttons work?   and how close is it to the tv,  some tv's create IR interference, and if the set top is too close then it acts how you are describing. 
three solutions if that is the case.
move the set top box further away
change the TV brightness and color settings from the "vibrant" setting or whatever brightest they have and then try again
Get an IR Extender so that you can move the IR 'eye' - verizon can send you one, they have them on their site or you can buy one at radioshack. 
try moving it further away for a test only,  or try to get like a piece of cardboard and shield the eye from the TV.  So if the TV is on top put that piece of cardboard inbetween the two, if they are sitting side by side, then put it inbetween the tv so it shields from one another and try it again.  
Might not be your problem, but we have seen it before. 
Also don't forget to do old faithful,  unplugging the power for the set top box, wait 30 seconds plug it back in resolves a lot of minor hiccups.

    Hi there
    I'm not sure how you wound up where you did. But you wound up in the Adobe Captivate forums. Please stand by as I move your thread to the Flash forums.

    If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
    Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
    Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
    If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
    reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
    If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.
    To fix this
    BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."

    My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
    I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

    In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
    I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
    You'd need to add an account here:

    I dropped my iPhone 3G last day and soon after that the display turned too dim and it still remains the same.
    Could anyone help me with a solution?
    Should I change the display or is it a minor damage??
    Thanks for your support

    sounds like you broke the display when you dropped it.  There's nothing we users here can do for you.
    Since the iPhone warranty does not cover accidental damage, you will have to pay to have your phone repaired or replaced.  You can bring it into Apple for an out of warranty exchange in the country of purchase, or you can find a 3rd party iPhone repair store in your area.

  • How can one change the channel of a screen control within Mainstage?

    The issue that I'm having is that some 3rd party apps (Dimension Pro in particular) seem to receive Sustain (64) messages on only Midi Channel 1
    I'm using a multi zone controller, with sounds set in MainStage to respond to different channels. I've got it all working well except . . Dimension Pro won't "see" a controller message if it's sent from any channel other than channel 1.
    I was even having the same problem with certain sounds in Kontakt.
    So the question is . . how can one shift the channel of these messages over to channel 1?
    Better question, how can I get Dimension Pro to respond to a controller on a channel other than 1, but I suspect this is not the forum for such questions!
    Thanks in advance,

    You may be able to achieve the desired results by a different method. I have an Axiom, but I don't assign zones in it. I just send one zone to Mainstage and handle it all there. You can layer and or split a practically unlimited number of instruments and assign screen controls easily. You probably want to set up all screen controls at the concert level in layout mode. You can later override concert mapping in individaul patches if you want. For instance, you could use an expression pedal for volume(7) on one patch and for modulation(1) on another patch. You can send that control to one instument channel strip or you can choose to send to all. To do this, select a screen control in edit mode. In the screen control inspector, check the overide concert mapping box. You will then see two additional tabs-mappings and unmapped. Select the mappings tab. In the mapping list, double-click "Unmapped". You can the map the screen control to any single  instrument channel strip in this list or send to all. Select one and then choose a mapping destination. If you want to map expression to one instrument and not others there's another way. Select an instrument channel strip, then selct MIDI input in the software channel strip inspector. Check the filter expression box. This instument will now not respond to expression, but the other intruments in this patch will. You can filter some other events on this page. The layer editor tab allows you full control ol splits and layering options of all your instruments in this patch. Hope this helps.

  • Need help with first applescript@Quicktime- can't figure out a few lines...

    Ok guys I need help, here is what I want to happen. I want the script to just shorten a movie file. It should be so simple!!
    lengthofmovie = film length
    set time range from 0 to (lengthofmovie-1)
    save the movie as a new file
    That is all I want done, I am ripping my hair out of my head trying to do this. Please help me!!
    Here is my code so far:
    with timeout of 86400 seconds
    display dialog "Before beginning batch processing, make sure QuickTime Player is set to the desired export settings, and all videos to be processed are in a folder named ‘Input’ on the desktop." with icon note
    tell application "Finder"
    set the startup_disk to the name of the startup disk
    end tell
    set user to do shell script "whoami"
    set inputfoldername to "Input"
    set input_folder to startup_disk & ":Users:" & user & ":Desktop:" & inputfoldername & ":"
    set user_desktop to startup_disk & ":Users:" & user & ":Desktop:"
    set output_folder to startup_disk & ":Users:" & user & ":Desktop:Output:"
    set file_extension to "_export.mp4"
    try
    tell application "Finder"
    make new folder at user_desktop with properties {name:"Output"}
    end tell
    end try
    try
    set thefolderlist to list folder input_folder without invisibles
    repeat with x from 1 to count of thefolderlist
    set the_file to input_folder & item x of thefolderlist
    set output_file to output_folder & item x of thefolderlist & file_extension
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
    activate
    open the_file
    //change timeline, trim NEED HELP HERE
    export front document to output_file as MPEG4 using most recent settings with replacing
    close front document
    end tell
    end repeat
    on error
    display dialog "This script requires a folder named ‘" & inputfoldername & "‘ located on the desktop." with icon stop
    end try
    beep
    end timeout

    Hi plashd,
    First, I must confess that I don't know much about QuickTime. Nevertheless, while trying to understand your problem, I discovered that the AppleScript dictionaries of QuickTime Player and QuickTime 7 were very different from one another, and was unable to use the “export” command of QuickTime Player. However, I finally was able, with the following script, to use AppleScript to shorten a QuickTime movie and save it under another name:
    *set the_file to POSIX file "/Users/pierre/Desktop/MVI_0503.MOV"*
    *set output_file to "/Users/pierre/Desktop/NewMVI0503.MOV"*
    *tell application "QuickTime Player"*
    activate
    *open the_file*
    *tell front document*
    *trim from 1 to (duration - 5)*
    *save in output_file with replacing*
    *close without saving*
    *end tell*
    *end tell*
    Hope it can help.

  • Need Help with Postioning Text Boxes

    Hello,
    I am fairly new to APEX, but I think I getting the hang of it. I am very much impressed with the functionality. I have a question and I hope someone can help me with it.
    I have a Diagram that looks like:
    X
    X X X X
    X X X X X
    The X's represent values that will go in the them, source being an SQL Query so I though I could use TextBox Item and make the sqlquery which will be a count of some sort. This will be dynamically changed depending on user input.
    I also have lines connecting to the X's and labels. So I created a table with the diagram as a background. So my dilema is that how do I reference ITEM Text boxes to be in the table. I tried
    <table background="my_image.bmp"><tr><td>#ITEMS#:P1_X</td></tr><table>
    but it only shows up as ":P1_X" not that actual ITEM, i know my syntax maybe wrong to reference the item, so that would be my first question.
    Is there a way I can just position the actual textbox to in the table?
    My second question, for positioning so the textboxes woudl line up where the X's are, should I use CSS, and if so, do I have to upload a Style Sheet?(which I don't mind, just wondering if there is a way to just use CSS in the Page HTML SOURCE?)
    SO... basically I would like to know the best way to get these textboxes in the place where the X's are. The diagram is a image that is the background of a table. Any thoughts?

    After posting the message my representation of the diagram is a bit off, it looks like a Tree diagram with spaces and teh first X being in the middle and equally spaced then on.
