Turn off TV and SD box with one button?

My TV's IR sensor is busted so I have no remote capabilities to control the TV. I am looking for a way to turn off the TV along with my SD box at the same time. Is this possible?
With my past service (cable) I was able to achieve this by plugging my TV's power into the cable box. Once I powered off the cable box, my TV shut off. Basically it killed the power to the TV.
I am looking for a way to do this with my Verizon SD box.
I have plugged my TV into the SD box, tried powering off the SD box, but the TV remains on. Is there anything I'm missing? I've gone through the SD box settings menu and cannot find an option.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

This is what worked for me using the RC144 5302 / 00B Remote! Hope it helps!
Press and hold the STB key.
While holding the STB key, press OK.
Release both keys. The device Keys will blink twice.
Press 9-7-7. The STB key will blink twice.
One after the other, press each device Key you want the Power Key to control in the order you want them to turn on or off.
Press OK when done. The STB key will blink 3 times to indicate success in programming!

Is it possible to turn off CSS and design text with HTML only?

I'm trying to design text with HTML only ie: Font, Color, Size. The only method I'm aware of is to highlight the text and then go to Insert> Html> Text Objects. That method is tedious and time consuming.
I'm not looking for arguments or reasons as to why I should use CSS, I'm simply looking for a solution to disable CSS and design with HTML. I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.
Thank you,
Paul

Murphy,
Thank you for your response. I checked the preferences as you advised and could not find any option to turn off CSS. I don't understand why there doesn't seem to be a straightforward solution to this, it seems so simple. The reason is that the code will be inputed into an eBay listing and therefore CSS code is not supported.
Any other input for a seemingly simple yet complex solution to this is welcome and appreciated.

Dialog box with one button, when clicked will launch another script

How do I create a button inside a dialog box, which, when clicked, will open up another script?

]I've typed
set myDialog to display dialog "Finished?" buttons {"Shutdown", "Screensaver"}
if button returned of myDialog is "Screensaver" then
run script ("Macintosh HD:Users:Seb:Applescript:ScreenSaver.scpt" as alias)
if button returned of myDialog is "Shutdown" then++
run script ("Macintosh HD:Users:Seb:Applescript:Shutdown.scpt" as alias)
end if
but it gives me an error and says "Expected end of line, etc. but found end of script."

I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4.

I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to My Mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services. Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again." How do I fix this?

Not sure if I am doing this right. This is my first time in the support community.
I imagine what I put in my heading was supposed to go in here.

Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again. See the documentation that came with your device for information about turning off network services"
Does anyone know how I do this? I contacted my ISP (Telus in Canada) and they did not know anything (not that they usually do).

Why do ISPs insist upon making things so difficult for their customers?
If you cannot get them to understand that you would prefer to use your own router over their piece of cheap junk, perhaps the information in the following will be useful:
http://keithbalomben.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/telus-actiontec-v1000h-hacks-and-i nformation/
Scroll down to DHCP Settings
You will need to log in with proper "technician" credentials. They are provided in the above link as
Username: tech
Password: t3lu5tv
... but these may or may not work. Try it, and if you cannot get anywhere at least now you know what to ask Telus to do in return for your business.

Nothing !! Then I can't get it to play anymore.
Very annoying

Try this step and if you cannot get your device into recovery mode there is a chance you have a hardware failure and you need to call apple to see what service options you have.

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

A minor point, but it may avoid a little confusion if, instead of saying "black" in reference to the iPhone 5s, say "space gray":

Can't turn off iCloud and F'd up my Calendar

I have an iPhone with my Work calendar Synced with my work computer (outlook Calendar). Also, I have iMac 27" i5 with my Home calendar (iCal).   This has worked fine and separetly for the last 3years. My home calenders allow me to organise my life with payments and is very important. My work calendar, well that speaks for it's self.
I install iOS5 on iPhone and Lion on the iMac which unbekownence to me have iCloud syncing on and doing stuff that has totally corupted my iMac Home Calendar.
My home calendar has my work calander mixed in with my home calendar and reminders popup every few minutes that I have already dissmissed. They won't stop popping up. The same one over and over and they go back a month or more.
Additionally, when I try to add an event it sometimes puts it in very day instead of a monthly re-ocurring event and then it won't delete the event when I try to fix it.
I've tried to turn off iCloud, and it does all the right things and appears to turn off but then when I go back in it is on again.
The Work Calendar (Windows 7 Office 2010) doesn't show any symptoms and has kept working as it should on my work computer as on the iPhone. Neither appear to be effected
I've tried all the delete files and reinsralls but iCal seems to just get more confused. It renames calendars and is totally out of control to the point of no return.
I can't find any where which shows how to delete iCal and do a fresh install of iCal and not have iCloud sync.   I have searched Google for months and months with no joy.
What I need is to stop iCloud and **** it off permently as it appears to be a problem for how I use my apps. I do not want to use iCloud for calander or anything just yet.   I need to get my original .ics backup in iCal that I have and working on it's own and with out the cloud or syncing.
Help anyone ...
P.S.   I have only one profile, Admin.
          I've tried another profile and it replicates and operated worse than the Admin account with iCal.
          Also I have time machine back to August 2011. I've tried all the Google fixes and none have worked

Hmmm!
Sorry for taking so long to get back. But the thing was none of the instruction where able to get the iCloud turned off. If anything it is for someone who moves between the Local and the iCloud than turnng off iCloud.
I want to turn off iCloud syncing in my System Preference and iCal. iCal is syncing with iCloud and I do not want that. My iPhone is syncing with iCloud and I don't want that either. I never enabled these options and had to find out where they were before I could even start trying to turning them off.
My iPads do not I’m unsure why
Is it possible to un-sync and turn off all iCloud activities on my iMac with Lion 10.7.3?
I think I made up a word (Un-Sync) to re-turn back to the original state before the first sync

Turning off internal monitor while using external one

Hello, Apple Support Communities.
Before OSX Lion, anyone could turn off internal monitor while using external one, by waking up computer with lid closed, and the internal monitor will be kept turned off. But now, -I wonder what made Apple to think this way- Lion will turn on the internal one back on.
I don't care about all sorts of reasons why should I or shouldn't I desire to this. I just want it, because I have nice big monitor, which is apparently bigger than my Macbook Pro. Besides using double monitor will just exhaust my poor laptop. -mine is bit old-
I found ridicoulus answer from community, saying I should try fridge magnet. Sorry, but I don't want risk my whole computer, especially my HDD from getting magnetic damage. It happened so many times, -thanks my little bro- so now I am sick of magnet. I don't think Apple will cover this AKA magnetic damage anyway. -It wouldn't just damage, just erase your HDD-
So.... Any helpful insights? Thanks.

Nevermind. I found solution. Though it cost me 24 bucks.
Now Apple is seriously making me to consider to roll back to sucking Windows.
Thanks Jobs!
