What is bonjour? Is it an app and where can I find it on my new iMac?? what are its uses?

Someone told me that I might be able to chat among Mac computers and I thought it was with Bonjour...is this correct?
Don't see it anywhere on my new iMac?
Thanks!
New to apple computers...any help is appreciated!

Hey mmanno,
Great question. The following resource provides the information you are seeking:
OS X Mountain Lion: What is Bonjour?
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11449
Bonjour is a networking technology developed by Apple Inc. that makes it easy to set up and use devices and services on a network. Because Bonjour-compatible devices and services advertise their availability, it’s easy for you (or an application or service) to find devices and services that you want to use. For example, if you turn on file sharing, other OS X users on your local network will see your computer when they browse.
For information on using Bonjour to send messages to others on your local network, see this article:
Messages (Mountain Lion): Send messages to people on your local network

Thanks,

There are many ways and applications that you can use to build a web site. Which will be best for you will depend on the site you want to build and your level of expertise. Many experienced web developers just use a text editor, often one with specialized features for web programming (BBEdit, for example), but there are programs that can offer additional help, up to and including "drag and drop". Without knowing more about your needs, it's difficult to offer specific advice, but here are some possibilities:
iWeb - came with your Mac. Easy to build but rather limiting in what you can do.
RapidWeaver - more flexible and capable than iWeb but harder to use; sort of an "inbetweener" application
Dreamweaver - powerful but expensive and a steep learning curve
There are of course a number of other options. If you can provide more detail about what you wish to build and your level of experience, someone can probably make more targeted recommendations.
Regards.

Is there a way to get a search protocol of the "Find my iPhone" search app and icloud ? And where can i find a protocol of the chat with a apple support worker

Is there a way to get a search protocol of the "Find my iPhone" search app and icloud ? And where can i find a protocol of the chat with a apple support worker

Thanks for the reply however this does not help. When I check the cloud it shows that I have only 20 photos. In reality I had a lot more than that. All the photos on the cloud are those that I have taken since I was at the Apple store. When I check cloud storage usage on my phone it says that I have 5.1 GB of photos. This is a lot more than the 20 that I can see. I am not sure what the Apple employee did to my phone.
Still looking for answers. It is really too bad that I can not talk to an Apple person to get help since they messed up my phone.

Im syncing my iphone to itunes because i cant unlock the phone due to water damage so that i can take what is on it and put it on a new phone. how can i ensure that everything was taken from the phone and where can i find it in itunes?

my phone recently suffered water damage so that the screen does not reigster when i slide to unlock. I am sycing the data from the phone onto itunes so i can put it onto a new phone. How can i ensure that i took everything off of the old phone before i restore it and where can i find all of that stuff when i sync with the new phone?

iTunes will only store a back up of the iPhone and you find this by following the steps below:
Windows
Edit>Preferences>Devices
Mac
iTunes>Preferences>Devices
The link below can show you what is stored in an iTunes back up:

Your downloaded movie should be in the library tab of the Amazon instant video app.

What is a "FIN" file and where can I find it?

When I try to open my project a message comes up saying that I need this "menu media-FIN-0000000f" file or the project cannot play properly. It will not even open all the way.
What is this type of file and where can I find it?
Thanks

It is a render file. And what this means is that you exported a reference quicktime of a sequence instead of a self contained QT file, and one of the render files it references has been deleted or gone offline (this happens when a sequence no longer references the file). Only option is to delete the ref QT from your Browser and sequence.

Query as Web Services!!! What are its uses and why do we need it?

What are its uses and why do we need it.. if other tools like Dashboard and crystal reports and Webi can connect to universe and create reports and Analytics...

Hello Rajsan Madhavarajan
Query as a Web Service (QaaWS) is a SAP Business Objects (BOBJ) client-side tool that allows users to create and publish Web Services that can be made available over the Web. Once these web services are created and published, they can be consumed like any other standard Web Service in software applications including Xcelsius and Crystal Reports. But first we have to understand what exactly is a Web Service.
Web Service
A Web Service is a software system that supports interoperable interaction over a network from one computer or machine to another but is more commonly defined as a client and a server communicating data over the Web using the HTTP Protocol. Using Web Services along with Business Objects allows a live connection of data to be used in applications such as Xcelsius and Crystal Reports through a semantic layer called a Universe.
Query as a Web Service (QaaWS)
The two main components in QaaWS are the Client Tool and the Server. The QaaWS Client Tool gives the end user an easy to use wizard that allows them to create Universe queries and publish them as Web Services. Once the QaaWS is published, any user can securely access the data that the Web Service contains as long as they have access to that server. Have a look on image below that shows the information flow to and from the server via the client.
Advantages to QaaWS:
Very easy to use and intuitive interface Familiar look and feel for people who have used Web Intelligence
Leverages existing Business Objects Universes Shares metadata with Web Intelligence, Desktop Intelligence and Crystal Reports
Maintains Business Objects Enterprise Security
Allows live data feeds to be incorporated into Xcelsius Dashboards and Crystal Reports

What is the WEP or WPA password, and where can I find it?

I just bought an HP dv9013cl with wireless 802.11a/b/g and I am able to connect to my airport, but after it asks for a WEP or WPA password. What is this password and where can I find it. Thanks for the help.

Goto Airport Admin Utility, click on CONFIGURE. At the top of the screen that opens, click on PASSWORD, you'll see what looks like a lock. A drop down screen will show the Hex WEP password.

BVI - What is it and what are its uses?

BVI - What is that and what are its uses?

Ranji,
A BVI is in fact quite similar to an SVI (interface Vlan). You can define a software bridging between various ports of a router, similar to switching between various ports on a switch. If the ports on a switch belong to the same VLAN and the switch is capable of multilayer switching, you can create an interface Vlan for that VLAN and allow the hosts in that VLAN to use the IP address of the interface Vlan as their default gateway.
The same goes for interface BVI - Bridged Virtual Interface. When configuring software bridging, you define a group of interfaces that are bridged - the router performs bridging (i.e. software-based switching) of frames between all member ports of a bridge group, in essence forming a single broadcast domain - an IP subnet. If the devices in the common bridge group want to access other IP networks, they need a gateway, so you create an associated interface BVI that is also a part of the bridge group, and devices in the bridge group then use the IP address of the BVI interface as their gateway.
For exampe, imagine a router with two FastEthernet interfaces:
bridge irb!interface FastEthernet0/0 no ip address no shutdown bridge-group 1!interface FastEthernet0/1 no ip address no shutdown bridge-group 1!interface BVI1 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 no shutdown!bridge 1 route ip
This configuration would make your router to basically behave as a 2-port "switch" on its Fa0/0 and Fa0/1 interfaces, and devices connected to these ports would use the 10.0.0.1 as their default gateway to other networks.
You rarely configure bridging exactly this way these days, as switches are orders of magnitude faster and have way more ports. Still, there are situations where you need to bridge two interfaces, taking packets out of frames of one technology and putting them into frames of a different technology, without routing them, just repackaging but still carrying them between interfaces. This is often done in, say, DSL if the router is configured to act in bridge mode - take IP packets coming to Ethernet interface and simply repackage them into PPP or ATM+AAL5 cells on the DSL WAN port (and vice versa).
Best regards,
Peter

HT204003 does the passbook app work on the iPhone4 because I downloaded the apps for it but I continue to see the original screen for the app and I can't find passbook in my settings.

does the passbook app work on the iPhone4 because I downloaded the apps for it but I continue to see the original screen for the app and I can't find passbook in my settings.

Some time in the future (Starbucks Tweeted the other day "by the end of the month") the Starbucks app will be Passbook enabled. When that time comes, you will log into the app with your credentials, select your Starbucks card, and you should be given an opportunity to add that card to Passbook at that time. From there, whenever you walk into a Starbucks the alert will be displayed on the lock screen, just slide your finger across the the alert and show your card to pay.
Now, I have not seen the new app, of course, so I am just speculating based on how the Walgreens, Fandango and Target apps work. Also, I am not sure yet if this will work in any Starbucks, or just the one that you consider your favorite, or primary location. Again, that is just based on how the other apps seem to work. We'll see.

I have iPhoto2,just loaded OSX 10.5.8. What iPhoto do I need and where can I find it?

I have iPhoto 2 and just loaded OSX 10.5.8. What iPhoto do I need and where can I find it?

iLife11 is SnowLeo 10.6.x (and therfore Intel only). Version 09 would be the last ppc 10.5.x compatible.
I for sure remember to have loaded the full ilife 06 suite on Leopard back then , it ran fine.
So you could look for any version from ilife 06 to ilife 09 to be on a safe side, they work all on Intel and PPC and also all on 10.5.x .
Of course the newer the version, the more features ( but the more power is needed ).

In the older version of Firefox I could "view source" but the new version does not display it. What happened to it and where can I find it now?

The new version of Firefox "View" tab only shows Toolbars, Sidebar, Zoom, Page Style, Character Encoding and Full Screen. Where can I find "source" in the new version?

View Page Source; try any of these:
*CTRL+U
*right-click on the page, choose View Page Source
*Firefox button > Web Developer > View Page Source
