What is Bonjour, should I use it???

Have had Mac for some time, just trying to learn the capacity of the box. Will Bonjour help me accomplish more in my day? Will it be worth my time to learn? Thanks Brett

It doesn't sound like you have a good idea of what Bonjour is.
Since you have a Mac, you already have Bonjour, and may already be using it without knowing it!
The iTunes program uses Bonjour to find other iTunes programs running on the same computer or local network, allowing folks to share their libraries of media.
The iChat program also has a Bonjour window that finds other iChat users in the local network, and lists them, so you can readily chat with them, without having to first edit a buddy list.
The Safari program uses Bonjour to search for local web-page services from computers or lesser devices such as printers.
The Finder program uses Bonjour to hunt for local file systems that are shared to the network by other computers or lesser devices such as disk servers, TimeCapsule, etc.
In all of these mentioned cases, there is really nothing for you to "learn about Bonjour". It is just there, doing its job of making things easier to use.

    Thanks so much.  I downloaded Acrobat XI.  It's been "extracting" for the past 30 minutes (even with a fast wi-fi).  Hope this is not a problem.

  • What pdf tag should I use for footnotes?

    I get involved in generating fully accessible tagged pdf's for asisstive technologies and the like. I have a doc in InDesign which uses footnotes. When I tag the document, should I map the footnotes (paragraph) style to a particular predefined pdf tag (http://www.alistapart.com/d/pdf_accessibility/PDFtags.html) and if so which one? P, STORY, NOTE....? I'm not sure and can't find any reference out there to help me.

  • HT201788 What speed disks should i use in an Apple Superdrive

    What speed disks should i use in an Apple Superdrive?
    Thanks

    It matters little. The slower the burn speed, i.e. 2x or 4x, the better the burn.
    What is important is the brand of media: most of here recommend Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden.

  • What sequence setting should I use for a High Quality Video Montage?

    I am about to start a new project for a client using photographs only.  I have two questions:
    1.  What should I use for the sequence settings?  Should I edit with a HD sequence setting? 
    2.  I am going to scan the pics myself.  What Pixel or resolution is appropriate to get the best quality?  I'm looking for wide screen 16 x 9, not 3 x 4.

    First, decde how you are going to deliver this production to your client. Then tell us what that delivery medium will be. Then we'll have some advice for you.
    See the section in the FCP manual on using still images. You need to understand that in video there are only pixels, no dots per inch or lines per inch. Those terms are meaningless in video. You wil sand at a size in raw pixels that is only slightly larger than your delivery format.

  • What email program should I use?

    I have Safari 1.3.2 which I assume is the final upgrade for 10.3. I changed my browser to Firefox because of some of the problems with Safari. I was a long user of Netscape, including their email program. I want to keep Panther as my operating system. Should I use the Safari 1.3.2 for email? Want would you recommend for email, something different?

    Hi again,
    Yes, the Navigator Composer/Mail bundle... it's a good one if you like it. Has a lot of extra's to it. If you want to check out others, have you tried the one that comes with MacOSX? It's simply called Mail. It's the one I use now... it's simple, has some extra's and is all I need. Some like Microsoft Entourage which comes with the new Mac as a trial and is bundled with the Microsoft Office Suite... if you have that bundle. I find it has much more then I want to be a simple program, maybe some office types could use all that stuff, but I don't.
    Camino is just a browser. SeaMonkey is the Mac version of Netscape... it has all the elements of Navigator... composer, mail, browser and with all the same icons... it is just more Mac-Friendly then Navigator can be. This one would be worth a look if you are used to Netscape (since Netscape is now without support and has been acquired by AOL), and SeaMonkey is still going and improving.
    A stand alone mail program called ThunderBird on the Mozilla web-site is also an alternative if you want something different to try out. I have given it a look, but again it has too many bells and elements for my simple use style.
    So, I have grown used to Mail which is a natural for this Mac... works well, simple and yet some bell's to enhance with. But, you, can now give some others a look/feel and see what you think.
    Enjoy

  • What File Extension Should I Use

    I'm new to websites.  I have been adding documents to our organizations website (thesoba.com).  Usually I will use pdf documents, but one of the documents (points) is taking a long time to load. That document keeps getting bigger and bigger each month.  I think that it's loading about 18 pages.   I know I have a lot of files on the website that I don't use and need to clean those up.  We have sponsor logo's and past history that we want to keep and possibly use in future years.  I need to those to a backup or another folder.  What is the best way to know what files are currently in use on the website.
    Thanks

    The files are usually pdf which I have scanned.  I probably did not optimize for the web.  I do have Acrobat pro so I can do just about anything with these files.  Some of these files come from our bowling program.  I'm new to this so should I use another file type to post on the web.
    First off ignore that other guy.  Looks to be a new spam bot.  They appear every so often on forums.
    More than likely if they are just from a scanner they are not optimized.  I'm not sure if PDF is right or wrong.  Best way to tell is to look at the type of data you are trying to store.  If you show me one of the PDFs I would be willing to look at it for you and see whether it is something with optimization or if there is a better way to store the data.  If you are worried about publicly posting one of the documents, we could work through email (I would provide address through that).

  • What PL/SQL should I use?

    I need to:
    1. Grab distinct combination of values from table A,
    2. Check to see that I don't have those records in table B already
    3. If a record exists in B, don't insert
    4. If a record doesn't exist, insert.
    What should I use? Sounds to me like a trigger job, but I read somewhere on the forum that triggers cannot check for dupes.
    Table B's PK is a sys-generated value that I get out of a separate sequence/trigger.
    Can someone, please give me direction?
    Thanks,

    I'm not sure why you'd need PL/SQL at all here... Seems like a pretty straightforward INSERT statement along the lines of
    INSERT INTO b ( list_of_columns )
      SELECT list_of_columns
        FROM a
       WHERE NOT EXISTS(
          SELECT 1
            FROM b
           WHERE a.key = b.key )or
    INSERT INTO b ( list_of_columns )
      SELECT list_of_columns
        FROM a
      MINUS
      SELECT list_of_columns
        FROM bDepending on your data (particularly the presence of NULLs), you may need to tweak this slightly, but it sounds like you can use a single SQL statement.

  • Satellite Pro A100 PSAA3E: What WLan driver should I use?

    What wireless software should i download to make my built in wireless work.
    I have downloaded almost all of them but they install and i see no wireless there :S
    Help please?

    Hi
    The Satellite Pro A100 were equipped with the different WLan cards; two different Wlan cards are possible; Intel and Atheros.
    All necessary WLan drivers can be found either on the Toshiba European driver page or on the Toshiba WLan portal.
    http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
    Check both drivers. One of them will work for sure!
