    Backing up iPad and iPhone to iCloud & the space required

    I switched from US Cellular to Verizon last week and got a new 32 GB iPhone. I've had a 32 GB iPad on Verizon for about nine months. I've backed the iPad to the iCloud servers since I got it. The iPhone backed up to iCloud once, but since I've been getting a message that my cloud space is...

    When a good sized chunk of the uplink reports were archived recently, I decided to unsubscribe from that forum. Normally in forum tools you have four options while viewing a subscribed forum: Post a new thread…, Mark this forum read, Unsubscribe from this forum, and View parent forum. In a forum...

    Family traditions

    Helping (watching mostly) my aunt, my wife, and a couple of cousins make lefse and kringle, a couple of my late Norwegian grandmother's specialties. This is the first time my wife has made these two items. She's going to teach my cousins how to make grandma's chocolate cake, which features a...

    New Grill

    Bought a new gas grill yesterday. Made in the USA. Went together easily, using sturdy hardware, and feels and looks like it is well constructed. Going to season the cooking grates today and then baptize it. Huntington™ Grills for American Outdoor Living - Patriot Series 658569

    Tirning on PDA mode

    I normally use the SG app from my phone. Today I used the browser & turned off PDA mode for moment. I can't find the link for turning PDA mode on again. I'm sure I'll slap my forehead when it is pointed out, but where is it?

    Legacy machines and applications

    I was compiling some programming (as in informational/educational/recreational programs about outdoor related things) for my board at work over the last week. The numbers go from 1997 to the present and I had to look through monthly reports and add up the people that had attended different...

    Twins game on, not in HD, but 16x9 and automatically partial zoomed

    I tuned in to watch some of the Twins-Orioles game last night on FSN North (436). It wasn't in HD.While disappointing, that happens sometimes on DISH, and I can deal with it. What was interesting was that the picture was 16x9 and, even though I had my aspect set to normal, it auto-switched to...

    3.5" hard drive enclosures

    I have a working 500 mb, 3.5" drive pulled from a failed desktop that I'd like to repurpose as an external for my dish network receiver. I've been looking at enclosures at newegg & wondered what experience members may have had with the various models.

    MSID/MIN fun

    I've been having issues sending and receiving mms on my rooted CDMA htc Desire. It wasn't working, I changed the APN settings, it started working, it quit working, I changed the APN settings, it still didn't work. I called my carrier's (US Cellular) technical line and talked to a very...

    Rooted

    I rooted my htc Desire (CDMA) today with unrovoked3 and then used Ennon's Unified Installer to install CyanogenMod 6.1.1. So far I like what I see, especially being able to move apps to the SD card. I know there was a thread or two a while back about mods, but I wasn't able to find it. Some...

    Request to check for flash streaming on an android running 2.2

    I have a web camera streaming on my office web site. It works fine from a desktop or laptop, but I'd like to get it running on phones supporting flash.

    Joined the Android clan today

    I picked up an htc Desire from US Cellular today. Still getting my feet wet, but it seems sweet so far. Got one email account, facebook, and gmail set up so far. The screen is bright and responsive, but not great in full sunlight (which one is?). The onscreen keyboard will take a bit, but I...

    Smoking more meat

    Made venison summer sausage in the MasterBuilt today. Saved enough of the venison/pork mix for patties on the grill for lunch. This was my first effort at summer sausage. The results were most satisfactory and I will be using some more of my ground venison for this again soon. (the old...

    Vikings/Packers HD dropped

    To be fair, this happened on Dish local and OTA, but did anyone else have the Vikings/Packers game drop from HD to SD just before Minnesota's second touchdown?

    New Denon 1909

    I'm just about done setting up my new Denon 1909. Thanks to elwaylite and HD MM for their personal help and to everyone who contributed to the "OK, final Rcvr input" thread and the HTE forum. I tried to reply to that thread, but the board software wouldn't let me. I've pretty much got my...

    101, 150 missing

    I was in the chat chat last night and tried to tune into the tech chat on 101. I was unable to. My guide would jump from 100 to 104. I'm using a ViP622 with a Dish 1000 tuned to 110, 119 and 129. Digiblur and TNGTony offered a few troubleshooting suggestions, which I followed. I did a front...

    Is it possible to switch between user modes on the remote, or is it necessary to use the front panel of the 622 to do so?

    Text entry on 622 DVR titles

    I need to edit several titles of programs recorded on my 622 dvr in order for them to be place in proper folder. I want to use a two word title with a capital letter to start the second word, as the 622 differentiates between "Show Title" and "Show title". Using a capital will require less edits...
