The new guide: change just because, STILL CAN'T SEE CURRENT TV REMINDERS!!
WHoever designed the NEW guide SHOULD BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY. WHY DOES IT STILL TAKE a dozen clciks to see a list of reminders OF CURRENT TV STATIONS THAT I HAVE SET A REMINDER FOR, but it's only a REMINDER LIST FOR FUTURE SHOWS?? DO you people actually think that someone watches a TV Commercial?? Only a **bleep** would watch a geico or progressive car insurance commercial a hundred times a day, day in, day out, on almost every channel. I SWITCH CHANNELS WHEN ANY TV COMMERCIAL COMES ON, and for some reason Verizon refuses to adopt the best thing about Comcast which is: YOU CAN PRESS THE REMINDER BUTTON, SEE A LIST OF ALL THE CURRENT REMINDERS YOU HAVE SELECTED, and simply arrow down to watch another channel until the commercial is done.
It took me 2 1/2 months to familiarize myself with your idiotic, moronic TV Guide, which uses batteries at an outstanding rate, and now everything is changed, why is that? WHoever made that decision should be fired.
The half channel guide now makes it impossible to read whats on the screen EVEN WITH A BIG SCREEN TV. And who cares about hi-def, why in the heck do I want to see the pores on someone's face?
16 clicks to bring up a reminder list, COMCAST DOES IT WITH A SINGLE BUTTON, why is that? Because Verizon doesn't want to be like COmcast?? Everything about Fios and Verizon is just a jumbled mess, too much stuff jammed onto one page, and everything has a similar name, why is that? I have over 6 lbs of Fios junk mail and still get flyers in the mail, most weeks it's multiple flyers of the SAME THING, so don't tell us about saving trees, because first of all there are 400% more trees today than in 1900, and secondly just like COmcast, SAVING A TREE DOESN'T INVOLVE JUNK MAIL.
The new guide is change just for the h*ll of it, and it's just as crappy and hard to use. AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE REMINDER LIST< IT SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE WITH ONE CLICK< AND SHOULD SHOW THE CURRENT, repeat, THE CURRENT LIST OF SHOWS, because we don't watch no stinking commercials.
TIMBO441,
You have been complaining about reminders for quite awhile. I have never had Comcast, and don't understand what it is that you mean by reminders. Since fast access to reminders apparently isn't a feature in any FIOS IMG it is a suggestion for improvement and belongs in http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Share-Your-Ideas-with-Verizon/idb-p/ideas ,
Are you viewing a HDTV? Most people see a reason for viewing in HD. I particularly see that as being so for many if not most FIOS TV users.
I haven't seen the IMG 1.9 on SD TV's. People may see the new color scheme or exact font as poor and others may see it as an improvement. When I see it at a friend who had the Sneak Preview, the fonts size seemed about the same size to me. And in one of the threads someone posted all the guide screens, and again they do not appear to be any screens where the font is so small it can't be read even in the SD versions.
The new guide was meant to fix a lot of complaints that people had as well as to add features. Among the problems addressed
Old screen guide had the last channel cut off by TV's as it was outside the so called Safe margins.
Top line of guide (perhaps on purpose) was completed obscured by info on what channels were being displayed (favorites etc)
Next 3 lines of guide were partially obscured by the small image of the current program
only 1 1/2 hours were displayed
guide didn't fill whole screen on 16x9 TV's
Guide is too dark. Yes, many complained about that and that led to the new lighter scheme that people now complain about.
Search to limited
Did they get things wrong. Almost certainly.
The IMG is also not just about the guide. Other features added
Native pass-thru. I.e.. Pass 720p channels as 720, and 1080i as 1080i. Your already could, if desired pass 480i as 480i/p.
Support eSata external hard drives on newer DVR's.
Support more than one multi-room DVR
Allow more control of multi-room DVR from other STB (and DVR). Includes starting and deleting recordings
Allow recovery of accidentally deleted recordings
So called program chaptering on DVR recordings
Parental control improvements

The caption on an annotation is off the plot area. Even if I cahnge the x and y scaling I still can't see the annotation caption. How can I change it so that I can see it?
Try calling SetCoordinates on the annotation's Caption property. This method lets you explicitly set the x and y coordinates of the caption.

I have installed the latest version of Apple but still can't see ICloud in System Preferences- how can I fix this?
Lion is required to see the iCloud Preference Pane: this is an upgrade, not an update, and has to be paid for. If you want to install Lion, go to the Mac App Store and purchase and download it there ($29.99).
First check that your Mac meets the requirements for Lion:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space -
The new itunes is slow and I can not see my musics anymore. How can I have my musics listed like they were before?
I have the same problem with new 11.0. Presentation of album data now seems scrambled in 'Album' screen. Instead of albums in alphabetical order with all album tracks I now get albums in the order of the Album Artist. Unless the album artist is EXACTLY the same, the tracks on any one album can be spread all over the screen (hopeless for compilations). Does anbody know how to get the Album screen to sort solely on the Album title?

I am trying to attach files from my user account on my laptop, but when I try to attach them inside a Firefox browser, it only allows me to look at the administrator account and the documents on there. I am not logged into my administrator account, because I obviously only use that for the administrative things on my computer. I'm not sure what to do to change this, I've looked through all of the settings in my new version of Firefox (3.6.11) and I can't find anywhere to change those settings. HELP ME, PLEASE!?
Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.<br />
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".<br />
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected. -
I just got a notice to update my firefox to 4.0 and when I downloaded the new software it indicated: that I can't open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture. Any ideas about what might be wrong and how to fix it?
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html -

Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?
If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID. Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll). -
I just downloaded the new OS X and now I can't enlarge the page (pictures, text) by tapping the mouse. I loved that feature. How do I get it back ?
Thank you very much. I just called Apple support and the woman told me I was out of luck because with the new OS X it (that feature) was gone.
I'm not sure she knows too much.
Maybe I can get a job there. I don't know as much as she didn't know ! -
Ok i needed to flush my computer because i had a virus and i had to delete all my music is there a way i can get the library from my ipod onto the new itunes i downloaded because i dont want to have to download all the songs again
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases -
just updated to the new beta 3 version, now I can't get on the internet at all, I am using my girlfriends computer to send this to you. Just gives me a blank tab and WILL NOT DO ANYTGHING!!!
Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

i am using numbers in the new iWork. Just bought it 10 days back. I am not able to figure out how to add serial umbers from 1 to 100( for example) also i need to freeze the top header like in windows so that we can browse down without the heading going off. Can some one help?
Hi Jay,
Be aware that "Freeze Header Rows" and "Freeze Header Columns" apply only to rows and columns that are Header rows or Header columns. You can have up to five Header rows, Five Header Columns (and five Footer rows) on a Numbers Table.
"Header rows" is a special designation. Besides being able to be frozen, Header and Footer rows are not included in formulas referencing whole columns, making it possible to place formulas such as =SUM(B) at the top (or bottom) of column B without causing a self-reference error, These designated rows are also not included in sorts of the rows in a table.
Regards,

How do I reorder songs in a playlist in the new itunes??? I can no longer just click and drag. When I click, it doesn't move!!!! Need help ASAP- trying to prepare for an aerobics class and need songs in a specific order!
Vera,
Use View > View Options, and set 'Sort By" to "Manual Order."
Then you will be able to drag-n-drop songs up and down the list.
