Not a happy camper!

Love my new iPad. HATE that the 3G must be manually turned on and off even when Wifi is active. Hate that this is not noted anywhere. Really hate that this burned through $15 of 3G in 5 minutes and I have to eat it. The 3G icon is not active, only wifi is showing. Why in the world would it use cell data plan??? Really REALLY not a happy camper!

I appreciate the feedback but that was the only time 3G overrode wifi. I didn't know about turning off 3G, I just thought it worked like my iPhone - wifi if available and 3G if not. Plus I know to check the icons and the 3G never came up. It really bothers me! Anyway I guess i was just ranting here - I know AT&T will do nothing and apple doesn't stand up to AT&T (lol) ... I'm moving go verizon as soon as possible with my iphone!!

  • Misled about free 1GB promotion, not a happy camper

    VZ:
    Back in early September when the iPhone pre-registration opened, I wanted to take advantage of both the 1) iPhone trade-in program (for the 6/6 plus) as well as the 2) free 1GB promotion for each new smartphone purchased, and so I switched over to a More Everything plan (which re-entered into a new 2-year contract -- I was previously out of contract), and purchased 4 new smartphones.
    After waiting for about a month, the phones finally arrived, and I have gone and activated one of them. I logged onto my account expecting to see an extra 1GB added, but nothing. So after some searching around the forums here it appears that the 1GB promotion expired on 9/30??
    If this is true and I can no longer get the 4 x 1GB on my account, then I am going to be extremely upset. When I was placing my order for the 4 phones on the phone with a sales rep on 9/13, the rep had distinctly mentioned that I would be eligible for the 4 x 1GB. HOWEVER, first of all, he/she failed to mention that the promotion would end on 9/30. Secondly, he/she also failed to mention that that would be a problem for me since all 4 phones which I ordered would only be shipped by mid-to-late October. Had I known that I would not be able to get the 4 x 1GB because I would not receive the phones in time to activate them before 9/30, I would have strongly considered switching carriers, especially since I was already out of contract at that point. But unfortunately, now I'm stuck in a new 2-year contract with no 4GB that I was assured I would get.
    Is there someone who can clarify or correct this issue?

    So after several weeks of back and forth via AndreaS_VZW, I am glad to say Verizon has come through and resolved my issue. It was by no means an overnight process, and there were some hiccups along the way (not AndreaS_VZW's fault by any means), but thanks in large part to AndreaS_VZW I am now back to being a happy camper.
    Kudos to AndreaS_VZW for her patience and professionalism throughout my ordeal. I also appreciated the fact that she provided me with unsolicited status updates during the process. Hope anyone else facing similar issues will have as much luck as I did.

  • Not a Happy Camper - Please help!

    I bought my iMac in October 2007 after living in the Windows world for decades. I had finally had enough of Microsoft's bugs and looked forward to being able to use a computer without having to become a tech support guru myself. Alas, I've got "some issues" that I desperately need your help or opinion on.
    My system is a 20" iMac upgraded to 2GB or RAM. I also have a WD 500GB external drive. Everything else is stock.
    My issues are as follows:
    1) The system sometimes is either slow or applications freeze
    2) Time Machine has stopped working again. Even if I try to manually do a backup nothing happens.
    3) The system occasionally loses a setting such as asking me to enter my password for email, or when I open up Pages or Word, I get the welcome as if it's never been opened before.
    I have reloaded the OS (Leopard - purchased later) twice now, and the system usually seems to work fine until I reload my documents.
    The only software currently loaded beyond the OS is iWork and Office Mac 2004. I'm wondering if there could be something in my data that is causing my issues? My data consists mainly of photos, music, and some Excel & Word docs.
    I'd be glad to answer & expand on anything so that I can begin to enjoy the Mac world, but for now I'm very cautious. I've already lost two months worth of data when I didn't realize that Time Machine wasn't working properly.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ashford

    1) You might want to start from scratch again but this time do not migrate your files with the migration assistant. Create a new user name and password, install iWork and Office, install all Apple software updates, then transfer your files over one section at a time testing each one to make sure its working properly before transferring anything else.
    Run Disk Utility on your system and external drive. Open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility select your hard drive on the left then under the first aid tab click Repair Disk Permissions. You can also Verify your startup volume and click Repair Disk on your external drive. Make sure that your external is formatted Mac OS Extended(Journaled). If it is not Mac formatted it will not work properly if at all with Time Machine. Repairing the Disk Permissions is something you can do periodically especially after installing Apple updates.
    Breakdown your files basically into 4 categories and set them up separately one section at a time: Pictures, Music, Documents, and email. If you need any help with this process let us know.
    2) After the initial setup and manual migration of your files, disconnect your external drive and leave it off for the first week or so. This is to make sure everything is running smoothly as is without the external attached. If all works smoothly after the first week then move on to setting up Time Machine with your external drive. This way if it goes downhill at that point you will no where the problem lies. Also depending on how your hard drive is formatted and what you want to do with it I may have suggestions on how to set it up.
    3) This is normal if the Application receives a software update from Apple. Go to the Apple Menu in the top left hand corner choose System Preferences/Software Update. Leave the box checked to Check for updates Weekly but un-check Download important updates automatically. This way there are no background tasks running slowing you down or hogging your bandwidth un-knowingly.

  • One Happy Camper!

    I am a new subscriber to Verizon. I got my LG Lucid phone on April 18th, and have not turned back. Not even for a second! I was a customer of Metro PCS when I decided to go to Verizon, but it really didn't take a lot of thought to make this decision.Metro was terrible. Dropped calls, a phone sold to me that the sales person said was a wonderful phone that turned out to be a total piece of garbage, and EVERY employee at the local Metro store  was rude and completely unknowledgeable about their own services and products. No, I won't rant, but I will point out that I have also been a customer to T-Mobile, Sprint, AND AT&T before coming to Verizon. God, I wish I had come here sooner.The LG Lucid phone is one FANTASTIC piece of equipment. It's FAST as lightning, bright, and crisp display, and easy to navigate. The employees at both of the Verizon stores I've been to have been extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and honestly seem to want to help. The only downside that I found was that my phone is so new on the market that it was difficult to find a case for it. Big Deal! Anyway, if the heads of Verizon ever read these posts, I certainly hope they take note of mine.I love this company so far and will be happy to spread that sentiment anywhere, at any time...

    As a nearly 12 yr customer with this company I have had many ups and downs and right now my experience is way down, that explains why I would be compelled to visit this place (considering I should be doing chores) but frustration and confusion have brought me to look for solace in the company of others with similar experiences. Surely I wasn't the only person who had been mislead by uninformed CS reps, and I find that to be the case. To your delight in finding someone who you can showcase as a happy camper, I congratulate you and Verizon. Make the most of it. It could be good advertising. The best one gets from inadequate help is an apology. Little value in that. I see that the majority of people who have bad CS experiences, finally admit that it is a lost cause and we should not even expect good help. We should instead wade through the website looking for the right answer. Or better yet go somewhere we TRUST. The internet at large, offers better and more consistent help than I get from VZ CS reps. This post is really meant to inform other frustrated VZ customers not so much as a rebuke to the giddy acceptance of 'posisivity'  and exploitation thereof. I came to these forums to see how other people were being treated, and how they dealt with it. Mostly though my comments have been picked at , sniped at by CLs, derided by 'know it alls' but coincide with a considerable number of other frustrated people. How would any entity realize it has a problem without people telling them ?  I will soon abandon my visits (surely to the approval of the snipers) here in favor of a more productive venue of enlightenment regarding my smartphone experience, and how to push back at 'bottom line serving' corporate structures that have little concern for what isn't working for me.     

  • Not very happy with warranty replacement

    I am not trying to get something for nothing when I make the statement that I am not happy with the replacement touch that apple sent me for my almost out of warranty touch that completely stopped working. I am happy with the customer service, the easy return and very quick replacement. I am not completely happy with the touch that was sent to me. I can't say that is broken, it is just doggish and seems to have a really short battery life. It really seems slower then my previous touch and has seems to do odd things often, like I open a simple app (like the calendar)and it opens for a second and closes immediately or the response to touch is very slow at times. There is nothing really wrong with it but this is the 3rd own I have owned and it is by far slowest and least responsive. Does anyone have any opinion on if I have any recourse?
    Also, When I put in the serial # of this replacement, which I received on the 1st of this month, Apple website tells me that the warranty has expired. I know this to be wrong because of the paperwork enclosed with the replacement said thae warranty is 90 days or remaing period, whichever longer.

    Send it (or take it to an Apple store with all the relevant paperwork) and get another one.
    I bought 3 Touches in the middle of January for my kids and the youngest one's was similar; slow, bad battery life, wierd backlight glitch, apps crashing. Took it to the local retail store and they replaced it with no hassle. I didn't even have my receipt. It was a 4th gen so obviously was less than a year old.
    EDIT: I are a gud spellar

    Snow Leopard breaks quite a few drivers - my Canon exhibited the same problem.
    I eventually found updated drivers on the Canon website. You can try that with the HP, but if the all-in-one is more than a year or so old, don't hold your breath.
    You can also try Software Update to see if it will offer new drivers, or failing that go to the Support Downloads site and search for HP updates.
    In fact there's a new one for HP at the top of the list just now.
    You may not necessarily want the latest one, though - check the specs to see if your model is covered; if not, search for the previous update etc.

  • "earlier versions of windows are not supported boot camp" with bootcamp 5.1.2

    Hi everyone !
    I have a problem about installing window 8.0 pro 64-bit with bootcamp ( v5.1.2 ). When I finished setting up, Bootcamp shows me a message as " earlier versions of windows are not supported boot camp " although I'm using bootcamp with 5.1.2 version. How can I resolve it ? My mac is mgxa2 mid 2014.
    Thanks a lot !

    Thanks for supporting to me .
    According to "Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Supports" If I use bootcamp version equal or greater than 5, so I can do it. But my current bootcamp likes that. So why not ? . In the first time I set up though bootcamp , it's good but now it always shows that message .

    If you want to use the "newest updated whatever available." then you would have to buy the newest hardware that supports that. iPad 2 is not the newest hardware available and it can't/does not support siri.

  • My mac pro does not support boot camp (somehow)?

    So for some reason every time I try and open the boot camp assistant I get this message "Boot camp assistant can not be used, This Mac does not support Boot Camp". I find this vary confusing as it should be able to (or so I assume as boot camp came pre installed). I don't Have a RAID set or even a RAID card for that matter. All the HD's are formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I'm not sure what else Im missing. I would consider using Parallels like on my macbook only that I'm trying to test out some rather graphic intensive games to see wether or not I want to build a gaming rig in the future, and virtual machines have this nasty habit of cutting my power in half.

  • NOT so happy CONCLUSION after all -- Installation of my ZEN Vision M (30 G

    Sunday 2/3/06
    Let's see, I had a problem with losing my AUDIO. Finally, I had to do a full re-install on my S.B. Audigy 2zs. I even moved it to a different PCI connector on the MB. After a full re-installation... sweet sound again.
    As to the Zen itself, I keep having problems.... I am trying to update all the applications (C MediaSourde and C Media explorer) and even there I am finding problems.
    When I download the upgrade file to my PC ([color="#ff3300">CMS5_PCAPP_LB_5_0_38.exe), and?try opening it, it HANGS... that's it... so I have not been able to upgrade it. And if I don't upgrade it, then I will have the same erratic behavior will all these applications. They work sometimes and sometimes they don't.
    If I really force the issue, opent the explorer and the MediaSource, where I have my "library" of songs... and WHEN the ZEN is recognized by everyone (This is ramdon condition, sometimes yes, many times no), I am able to drag and drop some songs from my "library"?to the ZEN.... but I?still don't have a clear path to do this consistently... ?
    Tuesday report 2/26/06:?
    [color="#ff0000"](I?don't want anybody to get the ideal all is well now... I thought it was... Yesterday, but not today)
    Today I?was able to?to Rip a couple of CDs and "transfer" them to the ZEN. Some of the songs?have noises?though... I don't know what causes that. But the applications are still buggy, they don't work consistently all the time. I just "sense" something is not right with my PC.
    [color="#ff0000"]No only that... This installation knocked off my Audio!... even though I have a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2zs platinum! (Audio Card)... So I have NO SOUND right now?and therefore I can not use WMP-0 to rip cd's because it tells me I have not audio and I am not in the mood to deal the WMP now. So I had to use the Creative MediaSource 5, to do the ripping and the synchronizing. It did the job ok, except for the noise...
    I tried everything to re-install my Audio. Tried the latest dri've...Nothing. Went back to my old one (before this installation) and it DID NOT work either!? Amazing how complicated this has become....
    Monday report 2/25/06: I did not do much on the Zen today. But I did notice the WPM 0, still goes crazy (crashed) when trying to find the Zen. The WMP0 crashed today once. Also, there seem to be some conflict among certain programs... It almost seems as if more than one applications is biding for the Zen when they see it. (i.e. if the WMP is open and try opening the Creative Explorer app... it will not open... but only until I close the WMP...then the apps springs up just like that. That's it. - Good night.
    I SO, IT seems like I am not out of the woods yet... I wonder if I ever will.

    If your ZEN seems "dead" then you need to RESET it. How? insert a "clip" (or other sharp tool. Clip works best) in the hole for RESET, located at the bottom of the ZEN (by the "dongle" connector)<?
    Connect your ZEN to a "USB-PORT" (not to a "hub")?A USB-PORT is located on your computer (the box).

Mainly, because it was a difficult installation and I wanted to summarize the 200 or 300 steps/actions I did that led me to solve the problem successfully. I always do this when I have a difficult installation and then I save it for the next time I need it (i.e. changing computers). I certainly don?t want to waste all that effort. One thing I learned about ?technology? is hard to learn it but it can be forgotten so easily, if you don?t take notes.)</i>
    <p align="center">---------------------------------------
    [size="+2"][color="#ff3300">What was causing the problem?
    Two things:
    First, problems with Windows and the computer itself.
    Second, the Creative applications were horrible at first, they would not open right away and when they did? sometimes 5 or 0 seconds later? they would crash just by clicking on something? and so Windows kept giving me those Error boxes and I kept sending them to Microsoft?(I must have sent at least 00 if not more!) I was also having problems with my graphics, every time an application would crash, then all kind of weird graphics would take place when dragging things around. I also had problems at one time with my Anti-virus/fire-wall Icon going dark after several re-boots, so I had to kick it to get it working?. Oh well, I just want you to get a flavor for how bad things were yesterday.
    When I first installed the software, nothing worked!... My computer was noticeably SLOWER and SLUGHISH? Actually I was worry about my computer itself because I have never seen it this bad!... I thought a virus the size of an elephant had gotten into the pc somehow, no kidding so I ran the anti-virus, anti-spy, just to make sure. Sometimes if you firewall is down, you can get viruses in an instant!... I hope you people know this by now. And if the firewall fails and viruses get in, is just at moments like these? when you are trying to get things to work and downloading stuff from the Internet and so on.
    The computer was just sloooowww? sluggish?.. and crashy (new word?)?.
    I must have rebooted my system from 40 to 50 times, and I am not exaggerating. At some point I even had trouble turning off the PC. There were like three time where it would just sit there in ?limbo? (hung/crashed), so I had to actually switch the?PC OFF on the back of the box, the only way to turn it off? And of course, when you do that, you can be sure you will have all kinds of interesting things when you try to boot up again! (like all kinds of funny displays on my screen, or Windows giving me the ?black screen and white text? asking me to choose a way to boot up, like ?boot up normally? or ?boot up using the last configuration that worked,? (I did this like?7 times all together).
    [size="+2"][color="#ff3300">So how did?everything go?from ?so bad? to ?so wonderful?? <i>I don?t really know exactly!</i>
    But I suspect three things happened:
    - Windows sent me a couple of upgrades (I get them automatically)? I have NO IDEA what they were, but whatever they were, helped!
    ?2 - As I read and read, things began to come back to my brain. Especially a post reply that gave me the hint (Reformatting the dri've in the Zen) would finally let me ?transfer? my stuff to the Zen
    ?3 - An lastly, after I have ?cleaned, reformatted the dri've, got rid off the ?firmware? (not a good thing to do), Then I could not make Windows see the ZEN no matter what I did!? I did what worked before (connecting and disconnecting the USB cable from the white adapter (dungle?) connected to the ZEN). Usually when you do this, Windows being a ?plug and play? OS, it usually ?sees? when a new ?device? is plugged in one of the USB ports, or disconnected from a port, as well. In other words it ?recognizes? the device (connectivity) and if the software and driver are already install, the device should come ali've and work! That is the reason you always install the software and drivers first, and usually re-boot the system once, so that when you connect the ?device? (ZEN), it should work!
    [size="+2"][color="#ff3300">Let me recap I what happened:
    ?- I installed the s/w and as I already said, it was horrible.
    ?2- The Windows updates, somehow were helping a little bit.
    ?3- I also downloaded the latest updates from Creative.com (downloads/upgrades). I downloaded the ?firmware? (the ?upgrade,? <i>which is the OS=Operating System for the ZEN. Just like ?Windows? is to the PC)</i> and other ?patches? for?the ?creative media source 5? and ?Zencast organizer? (3 updates). I am sure this upgrades helped some, as well.
    ?4- After trying so many times, I was finally able to open the ?Zen Media Explorer? (Icon looks like a picture of the Zen). When this opens, it shows you everything inside the Zen just like in the ?explorer? (nice). That meant I had connectivity! (good).
    ?5- Since I had ?connectivity? (access) to the ZEN, My next attempt was to ?transfer? some files down to the ZEN? but this proved impossible!... Somehow, at some?point, by accident (I?did not even notice it)? I was able to transfer ONE song to the ZEN, which gave me hope. After all, if you can do it once, you should be able to do it again. BUT, I couldn?t
    ?6- Then a nice lady?who responded to my first post, told me she had basically the same problems and the solution was to ?Clean and re-format? the ?Disk dri've?in the ZEN. She said that once she?did that, everything would sort of fall into place? and she was right!
    ?7- I unplugged the ZEN from the PC and read somewhere how ?to clean, reformat, upgrade or replace the ?firmware,? Not sure still, but it'ss something like ?resetting (with a clip) the Zen and holding the ?power? slide in the ON position? something like that, and that brings a special screen with 4 choices:
    Clean<
    Reformat dri've (erases everything!), <
    Replace firmware (careful here!), <
    Reboot. <
    Then it'ss pretty easy?to do a lot of ?damage? in a few seconds!... ([color="#ff3300">careful here if you are not used to the sensitivity of the "touch-pad")In my case I did not care since I had not put anything there yet. I erased EVERYTHING!... (not a good thing). I should have been more careful and simply use option 2 (reformat the dri've). Chances are this would have been enough to transfer songs to the ZEN. But since I get crazy when doing stuff like this, I went ahead a cleaned everything.
    ?8- Then I realized I had erased the ?firmware. As you already know this is the ?heart? of the Zen. (like Windows to the PC). Finally I went to Creative.com/downloads and downloaded it (the full version). But if you remember in #3, I had also downloaded the ?firmware? upgrade as well. The reason this is significant, is, that when I finally recovered ?connectivity? to the ZEN, I? tried both files, but the one that ZEN accepted was the upgrade! (I found this interesting? since I would have thought the full version would have been the correct choice? see?... little things you learn.
    ?9- As I already gave you a hint in #8, once I had the ?firmware? ready to install, the system kept telling me it could NOT see the ZEN. I connected and disconnected the USB cable several times? rebooted the pc? this helps sometimes, but nothing!... FINALLY, I read somewhere, I should go to the ?device manager? and check what was going on.. ? EUREKA ? indeed I found the ZEN with a ?Yellow mark? on the side, which always means trouble. Basically, I used the ?uninstall? option (based of the principle that simply ?un-installing and installing back something? sometimes this works. In other words, the ZEN was ?stucked. So when I ?removed? It from the ?Device Manager? list (I don?t recall if I rebooted here? but it never hurts!), then all of the sudden? a little icon in Windows (on the small tray=bottom right corner (with the clock and Date),? acknowledged?a new deviced had been connected to Windows. (connectivity back again! Yeahhh).
    ?0- Now that had ?connectivity? (Big step), I could try installing the ?firmware. And as I already explained, the ?upgrade? was the one that ZEN took. As soon as you clicked on the file, a box opened and asked if you wanted to install the ?firmware. I said yes and voila!... The Zen started accepting it's and when it ended, just like a PC, the ZEN rebooted itself and I was able to see the familiar interface (the same folders as before) but not contents at all? empty!
    ?- At this?point?I opened the ?Creative Media Source organizer,? went to my ?playlist? and from there, just click and drag some songs and dropped them on top of the Zen Icon (just like dropping files in a folder). And yes, the files were finally ?transferred? to the ZEN. Unplugged the USB cable from the Zen (or the Zen does not play anything). The songs were there and I was FINALLY able to listen to them from the ZEN!... Wonderful. Oh yes, using the same technique (drag and drop), I put a wmv video and was able to watch it as well... Now I know why people rave about the little screen... nice!
    ?2- In the mean time, without noticing? Just like the nice lady?from the post said, everything seemed to have fallen into place!
    ?In Summary: The applications ( the creative programs=icons)?were opening normally and quickly now, and many of the errors I got before when clicking on certain things, disappeared. I am sure I will still find some problems here and there, but basically the thing works now the way it is supposed to.
    ?Just a matter of clicking, dragging and dropping items?into the Zen?.yes, that simple!
    ?Good luck!

  • Just added FIOS TV and not too happy

    Have had FIOS Internet for 2+ years and finally decided to bite the bullet and try out the TV side - opting not to cancel my Dish Network service until I was sold on my new TV choice.
    So after 4 days here is my review:
    Likes
    Audio and video quality is fantastic. Definately an improvement over my Dish
    Subscribed to the Prime package with the free Movie package and my bill went up only $20. Gotta love that!
    Absolutely love On Demand. After having satellite for almost 4 years - forgot how nice of a feature this is.
    Media manager is very cool. Was able to remove my "Media PC" which I had hooked up strictly to be able to listen to my 18,000+ song music collection and view my thousands of digital photos
    Dislikes
    When changing channels -there seems to be a slight delay in between. Not nearly as bad as DirecTV - but definatekly not as smooth as my Dish service
    Experienced many dropouts,brief freezes and stuttering when watching both regular TV as well as an On Demand movie.
    Remote distance. My couch has a clear line of site to the box - and is only 12 feet away. Not sure if I may have a bad remote ( I already changed the  batteries) or possibly a bad box. All I know is that unless I was aiming the remote directly at the box - I was finding myself having to re-enter my selections - volume, menu, channel etc... multiple times before the action took place.
    Can't stand not being able to pause Live TV anywhere in the house with the exception of the room where the DVD is located. Dish's 622 DVD has had this feature forever - and this feature alone will probably be the primary reason as to why I will be keeping my Dish subscription. Was told by a Verizon rep that the only way to "fix" this would be to upgarde by STB to DVR's
    Would love to hear everyon'e feedback - especially the few points regarding the remote and dropouts.
    Thanks

    Welcome to FiOS TV and the Forums. I hope you wind up being a happy customer.
    Re your dislikes:
    1) Delay changing channels. Are you using an HDMI connection? If so, is the delay when switching from an HD channel to an SD channel or vice versa? If so, the reason is the need for the STB to re-sychronize the connection between the STB and the TV. You can eliminate this delay by:
    Menu ==> Settings ==> Video Settings ==> SD Override ==> Off
    The SD picture may be slightly worse but I have found I much prefer the channel change to be immediate. Plus I don't watch much SD any more
    2) Dropouts, freezing, and stuttering: I think this usually indicates a signal strength issue. You might want to recheck all of the connections from the ONT to the splitter to the STB. You apparently have more than one STB, does it occur on each?If so that would indicate to me a problem between the ONT and the splitter, or a problem from the central office to your house.
    In the Menu there is a section called Customer Support; there are several diagnostic tools you can run there that might help identify the problem source. There is also a "hidden" menu in the STB where you can get detailed signal information on any channel, but lets see if the above helps before we delve into that.
    And you aren't trying to share any of the coax between FiOS and Dish by any chance are you? That would be a no-no.
    3) Remote distance. For my DVR I somewhat experience the same thing. For my SD boxes, no, much more forgiving. I have no idea why, all boxes are made by Motorola, but there clearly is a difference.
    Many people have also reported problems with their HD boxes when using a flat screen TV, mostly plasma but sometimes LCD, when they have it set to "bright" or some similar setting. Some flat screens apparently emit IR signals that interfere with the IR signal from the remote to the STB. You could perhaps check your TV settings to see if you can find one that has an effect, or you could try moving the STB away from the TV temporarily and see if the problem disappears. If so then it is almost certainly TV IR interference.
    4) Can't pause live TV from anywhere in house (I am assuming you have the Multi-room feature on the DVR). True, can't do it with FiOS. Yes, if you get DVRs for each location, then you can pause at that location, but then you can't watch a recording on one TV from a DVR attached to another TV. That function is supposedly coming, but is not available now.
    Hope this helps a little.

  • Windows not finding Boot Camp on MacBook Pro

    Hey everyone. I have Windows 7 64-bit and a MacBook Pro (mid 2010) with OS X Lion installed. When I boot up in Windows, it seems that only half of the time Windows realizes that it is on a Mac. Meaning...only half of the time the Boot Camp program is running in the notification tray, and only half of the time will Windows register the volume up/down, brightness up/down, and keyboard backlight up/down buttons on the Mac. It makes it very difficult to say...adjust the brightness or volume in the middle of a game. I can still go out of the game and turn up the volume in the notification area, but it is becoming a huge hassle. Like I said, this is only happening about half of the time. The other half of the time Windows registers that Boot Camp is on it, there is the Boot Camp icon in the bottom right corner of Windows, and all of my control buttons (brightness, volume, etc.) work just fine. Any ideas on how to make this happen every time? Thanks.

    Hello Bhagyeshree

    It is difficult to understand your issue from your discription. I have three suggestions.
    1. Visit the Boot Camp forum. You posted in the Mac Book Pro forum about your Boot Camp issue. The Boot Camp gurus hang out in the Boot Camp form. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
    2. Read the Boot Camp installation guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
    3. Do not post personal information such as phone numbers in public forums.
