New TV causing DVR problem
My new sharp tv (LC-60LE660U - 2015 model) connected with an HDMI cable will disable the DVR function and not allow recording (until the HDMI is disconnected).
My old sharp tv (LC-60LE832U - 2012 model) was connected the same way and did not have that problem at all. To prove this was real, I re-connected the old tv and it work fine. then connected the new tv and had the stated problem. Do newer TVs have some setting that needs to be changed to allow proper DVR operation?

Is there another HDMI device coming in on the new Sharp? And are you changing the input to that other device? Then the DVR just kinda locks up? It never got the 'see ya later' signal from the TV when you switched inputs that puts the DVR in a coniption fit.
Fix is to connect the TV w/component cables that will give the same HD PQ from the DVR.

Oss-old version + new update causes MAJOR problems....................
hey all...
if ur experiencing quitting apps, probs w/ itunes7, etc, and u have oss (ANY version), get rid of it immediately.........
the new updated version is even worse than the original.....
goto the uninstaller or delete it with appzapper (if u can get it to stay open...)
gl...............I have done that, several times.
So this is where I'm at now - last night, immediately after finishing a movie that was on my WD hard drive, which holds all of my media, music, movies - I restarted my computer and then it would not read the drive. It said it was unreadable.
I brought the Mac and the drive into an apple store today - they said basically it was my hard drive causing the issues. I used my iPod classic as my media back up as the 160 gb could hold all my stuff. Well, as I mentioned previously, that can't sync and I restored it, with no success. So in essence I lost my media drive and the back up. Tough to swallow, I'm angry, I think it's still mountain lion causing the drive to fail.
So I resolved to go home and restore my computer to one of my time machine back ups and do a Snow Leopard reinstall. Well, the moment I returned from the apple store, the time machine drive is now listed as unreadable. I called support, spent hours with them - I now have two drives which fried within 10 hours of each other in the same error. The senior support manager agreed it sounds like mountain lion is indeed corrupting my drives somehow. My iMac currently won't start into the recovery disk. So I went out spent $200 to get a new hard drive, which I am now backing up my data onto with a new Time machine.
In the last week, I've lost my iPod classic, iPhone 4, two external hard drives and now possibly even the Mac itself. I'm going to install snow leopard and see if it alleviates any of my issues, or hopefully can read my drives. I truly believe Mountain Lion is the problem. -
HT203477 New Itunes causes crashing problems with FCP X
Since I uptdated my OS X and iTunes, I am experiencing several crashes of my Imac 27. Anyone has the some problems ? Any solutions ?

Hi Tom,
My whole computer is crashing and when I run Techtools pro 7 to repair permissions, there are so many files of the latest version of iTunes that are detected to be repaired.
I am also using Bitdefender as antivirus. Can Bitdefender be the cause ?
Most likely. These "antiviruses" often cause more harm than they prevent. -

Newstand really isn't an app - it's a folder to contain select apps (which is why you can't move Newstand into another folder). It works fine for what Apple wants it to do... their search would naturally take you to iTunes, because that's where the apps that go into Newstand can be found.
True. I've noticed magazines now appear in the App Store along with all the other Apps. I think it would have been better if Apple made Newsstand more like Zinio i.e. an App where you can search for, read & download magazines. Seems a bit if a cop-out to just lump it in with all the other Apps, especially when trying to search for titles. For example I was looking for a photography magazine. If you do a search for 'photography' you get a load of photography Apps come up. Scroll through half a dozen pages & you might stumble across a photography magazine ..... but not the one you are after. In Zino you can browse magazines by category > photography and find what you are looking for in no time. If I could delete Newsstand (as well as about 6 of the other useless iOS Apps that can't be removed ) I would. -
Hello Everybody,
have some problems with new RAM for my G5. With the original 4 x 256 RAM everything's going fine, but as soon as I correctly stick in the new 2 x 1 GB (Mac Dealer bought), my mac's going crazy (crashes or not being able to install and so on...) Changed the new RAM allready at my Mac Dealer, things remain the same. Does anybody have an idea?Have you made sure the RAM is properly seated?
If it is, contact the Mac dealer and inform them they have a bad batch of RAM. -
New IP caused a problem to launch DBConsole & listener (Oracle 10gR2)
Guys,
I have installed Oracle 10gR2 on XP system. My dev machine does not have permanent IP address and recently it has been changed.
As a result I can launch Listener and Enterprise Manager - it‘s a problem to start OracleDBConcoledev01 and OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener.
My sid name is dev01. I found 2 folders where the old IP is involved:
<c:\oracle\ora1020\db01\192.168.188.71_dev01> and
<c:\oracle\ora1020\db01\oc4j\j2ee\OC4J_DBConsole_192.168.188.71_dev01>
I saw some articles, but didn’t find exact solution of my problem.
I would appreciate very much any help regarding steps I should go through to make my Oracle working again.
Thanks,

Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes? Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere. . Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

New Windows 7 computer. After installing Firefox, every time I bring it up I get the following message:
"Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem.

Then Firefox comes up, but will not function at all - can enter url address, but will not respond to ANY clicks, so can not go to any site.This link shows how to fix this - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Could+not+initialize+the+browser+security+component

The new firefox twitter app (mini tab on left of page) is great - except it disappears every time I shut down the computer and I have to remove and then reinstall it every day!?? It won't appear on the page until I do. I am working on an iMac - if that is causing the problem ...? Thanks.
Eustace, thank you so much for writing back. I will try what you suggested!!
thx for your reply - apparently when I went to the Apple store a long time ago, they restore maybe photos and itunes etc from my external hard drive (passport). I guess at that time they reinstalled an earlier operating system than my macbook came with and that somehow corrupted FileVault. apparently there was no sparse bundle (whatever that is) for my old admin account and they said that ever since the install of the older OS that it was actually NEVER backing up anything in my admin account.
Then, I bought Time Capsule and starting backing up to that instead. I started having problems with it being slow etc and then StartUp Disk full errors and didn't know what to do, so I "Restored" from Time Capsule and that's when I lost everything in my Admin account and was locked out when I tried to log in - it said File Vault error ..."
anyway - that's THAT sad story. I was told to create a new admin account and I've basically been trying to start over - even though I have a partial save of my computer in Crash Plan and I DO see a sparse bundle listed in there, but I just don't know enough about computers to know if it's something I can get back or if I am just totally doomed.
I'm afraid to reinstall anything because if there is even a remote shot that the other files are still floating around in my computer, I feel like that chance will be shot forever. I need to hire McGee from NCIS, I just KNOW he could get those files back for me!!! -
My latest pano photo have missing landscape. Some of the photos are merged into one. I can provide the examples. What could cause this problem on a new 5C?
Thanks for the input. I was finally able to find some test conditions that duplicated the problem, and it is either that or some other out-of-spec diffraction distortion. So I sent it off for repair.

DVR Problem w/QIP7232P2 DVR Operation; HOW Long will I have to wait for 1.9.1?
THE SHORT PROBLEM:
1) DVR records only a few moments of pre-scheduled events then the recording stops with only 10 to 30 seconds stored content and this is reported in the on screen detail.
2) DVR records a full 1 hour show however, after 20 or so minuets of playback, use of the fast forward, skip (to get around a commercial) or pause DVR functions will cause the playback to jump to the end and you can't see the rest of the story. One must start the show over again, view stuff you have seen before to get to where the error happen. If you fast forward too close to the point of the error, you will get dumped out of the show all over again. Once you get close you just have to watch commercials and what you have seen before and then not use any DVR functions in order to watch the rest of the show.
3) DVR records a full 1 hour show, you fast forward to a time that is say 50% into the show, the progress bar will move forward like normal to show you get close to the point of you stopped watching the show before (to help solve problem #2 above) BUT, if you go too far, the progress bar will jump back to the start of the show and you may be dumped out of the program or it may continue to move forward. However the operation of the progress bar is not right.
This would render the DVR less then useful. Verizon has replaced my STB and talked me through the reset of AC power operation that is the normal fix for most STB issues. I'm told this will require a software upgrade from 1.9 to 1.9.1. OK, GET IT DONE and CREDIT USERS OF DVRs THE FEE PAID FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT WORKING.
THE LONG STORY WITH DETAILS:
All seemed to be well with the unit for a few months and the upgrade to the new 1.9 software looked like it went off without a hitch.
But.....Starting on around 12/17/11 I noticed that my DVR was recording only about 10 to 30 seconds of programming during scheduled events. Sometimes it would attempt to record the same event one or two times, each only lasting a few moments. I called Verizon customer service I think on 12/20/11 and they asked me to pull the 120 volt power and then re-apply power. This helped the problem but, remote testing seemed to show an issue and the customer rep decided a replacement unit was needed and Order No. MDDQ08V49U was created and another set-top box was shipped to me.
It is too bad that the technology has been developed to allow the external storage of digital content however, one can't back the 200 plus hours of video one may have stored on a set-top box and restore it on a new unit. It is also not possible to reproduce the vast extent of scheduling of events. No, it seems when you change out a set top box, all the programming is gone and you have to spend an afternoon coping down the schedule from the Series Manager and then re-enter all new events by making new recording events; a very time consuming operation.
So it is frustrating once after this afternoon is wasted reprogramming a new set-top is all done with the new set-top box installed, I find that on 1/5/12 when viewing recorded programming that should be one hour long, I only seem to get 22 minutes of playback. I try to look at this in detail and see that the first 22 minutes indeed play back in a normal manor. One is able to use the jump forward mode to skip over a commercial and all is good. If after 22 minutes you don't do anything, playback will continue to the end of the 1 hour. BUT, if after the first 22 minutes you try the skip or pause function, the program will jump to the end screen where you are given the option to: Program Options Page were you can select Play, Save until I delete, or Delete.
On 1/4/12 I called Tech Support and asked what to do about this 2nd box having yet another DVR problem. Once again I was asked to cycle the 120 volt AC power and disconnect and reconnect the coax "because electricity can build up in the set-top box". (I thought that was a cute reason). I asked the Customer Service rep if this was a Tier 2 or Tier 3 Troubleshooting method and she told me she was not authorized to tell me.
1/5/12 a Manager calls me back to follow up on a survey from the December service call and after seeing that I had a trouble ticket on 1/4 to see what is going on. He attempts to talk me into getting the on screen diagnostic screen to come up (press a mix of power and OK) but that just does not work like the old set-top box. We review the problem and he is not sure what else to do then send a Tech to the house to review the problems. He did tell me the STB I had in December WAS a known bad number; something about an issue with ribbon cable fault going to the hard drive. Well OK, but it seems ODD that the two like problems seem to happen to a known bad box and now to a new box that is not in the "bad" lot of numbers. This new STB also had been running 1.9 like the old STB for some number of weeks/months without issue then BANG, a problem pops up! It seems like this is a deeper problem but I trust with all the fact Verizon can find the right answer.
1/6/12 Aaron Phelps, Cable Splicing Technician comes to look at the problem. Nice guy! I show him the two recorded shows that have the problem. He can't get the on-screen diagnostic up but we use the test via the Main Menu and all readings seem OK. He also tests signals via an external meter with good results.
At last, he calls Tier 2 Tech support and I'm told by him that it seems some bug is in ver 1.9 and we will have to wait a month for a 1.9.1 to come out that should address a memory issue in the DVR. I don't know is this is the real story but Aaron tells me the ONLY fix they have is to swap out STB and he has no other 7232 units so... I'd have to go back to a smaller hard-drive or wait a month to see what happens.
To say again, it is a problem when the only answer in practice is to reboot the STB or replace it and this does not solve the problem. The field Techs don't know about a software bug less they call tier 2 support. Also, as it is so common to just replace the STB, the process may take only a moment in physical action to swap wires HOWEVER, it is an afternoon to get programming done so a new DVR is recording all the shows a Customer has established; on top of the time talking to phone Tech support and waiting for someone to show up to the home, that is a considerable investment in Consumer time. If you can't back up the content with the local drive due to copyright issues how about a cloud approach? I'd encourage a known bug to be resolved quickly and perhaps solve the manor that a STB is backed-up and replaced.
I learn on 1/6/12 my friend had like problems:
xxxxxx address blocked
Claire had the added problem that a pre set event she set to record change by an hour. I've not seen this but, I see in the Forum URL below, another person had the same problem as reported by "DC-Videophile" on 01-01-12 at 08:33 PM. On this same forum "rich3fan" reports problems that I have on 01-04-12 11:54 AM. The very bad news would seem from "markjrenna" 01-04-12 09:29 PM where it is suggested that 1.9.1 will not be out before 1Q12!!!! That is a long time to have this problem.

NCIS, channel 50, "In the Zone" USA Recorded 1/6/2012 6:00 PM (after Tech visit to home)
I notice with this event, when you hit fast forward, the progress bar moves forward with time then at a point it goes back to the start point, even when good video is playing in fast forward. This program worked beyond 22 min then failed at maybe 38 min. When I tried again, it failed at another point earlier (maybe 15 min) so it does not have a pattern.

and a lot more.........I am having the same problems. My guess is that a lot of people are having the same problems and just living with it. Those of us who know where to go on the Internet come here to find a fix.
It seems Verizon has some explaining to do. Maybe they should try Beta testing new software a little better. I would rather have to wait longer for something that works. I am sure that some manager or director said this is close enough, deploy it and we will see what happens. Well, you are seeing the problems. Time to fix your mistake.
All of us are telling our friends about the problems. The longer this goes on, the more people we will tell about it.
Wouldn't you rather us be telling our friends that their is an error in the new interface and that you are working hard to fix it?
If you want to be up front about this, then just tell us. We are adults and can handle it. If you made a mistake, own up to it and give us some credit for doing your Beta testing in the field.
Customer Service is all about telling the truth and if you made a mistake, admit it and lets move on with a fix. I do not want to be told again that I should be able to unplug it, power cycle it, try the on-board diagnostics, etc., etc.......
I am going to be repsonding on a daily basis to keep this topic at the top of the list.
Time to come clean. You will feel better Verizon.
