Help on doing some extensions for a firewire/USB header/bracket

Hi,
I own an MSI 845PE Max2 motherboard. This motherboard comes with several brackets for USB, Firewire and Audio. As I can't waist that much PCI slots in order to use the brackets, and as those ports would be much easier to use if they were on the front of the case, I thought of modifying one of the 5,25" bays cover of my full tower case (Dragon DA-01BD) to hold all the ports on those brackets.
Unfortunatelly the cable length of those brackets isn't enough to reach the 5,25" bays, so I have to extend those cables. In order to do that I have to find similar cables/connectors, and that is where my problem lies.
In order to show those connectors, I took a picture and made it available on the web, so that you can see it:
According to a person that I spoke to, these are IDC connectors.
Here's a description of each connector, from left to right:
- Firewire (green, 10 pins)
- USB 1 (black, 10 pins)
- USB 2 (blue, 10 pins)
- Audio (black, 12 pins)
Each connector has one disabled (covered) pin.
In terms of size, each connector is aproximatelly 1 cm wide (the sound connector is a few millimeters wider).
My question would be where can I buy this, but as I'm from Portugal and most of you are not, it would be rather expensive to order this thing outside my country.
So what I would like to ask is if do you know any reference for those connectors. I'm looking for both male and female connectors, as I want to leave the cable/connectors of the brackets intact (no modifications), meaning that I want to create an extension with a male on one tip and a female on the other tip of the extension cable.
Best regards,
Norberto Henriques

Hi Norberto,
You might be able to get longer cables from a computer wholesaler (usually via a retail store), but it's doubtful.
The connectors in the photo are a variation on a "Molex" connector. They come as an empty housing, with separate pins (supplied on a strip), which can either be soldered to the cable, or crimped with an expensive tool. The pins are then pushed into the housing in the right places. I use the single row types, but I've never tried to buy the dual row types in Australia.
The closest readily available connector is usually called an IDC Socket, and is designed to be used with ribbon cable (these are used on CD-ROM drive connections, for example). They can be fitted with a bench vice if you are careful, but they don't usually come in 12-way (10 ways are common, so are 16 ways, with 14 way less common).
The main problem is the male connectors - they don't make male connectors designed for cable mounting. The closest you'll get is a header designed for PCB mounting, which you'll have to solder wires to individual pins, and then wrap in insulation tape.
Try a shop which sells electronic components to hobbyists - whatever the Portuguese equivalent of Tandy / Radio Shack (or preferably a cheaper version!).
Good luck!

If they are Photoshop files, just place them on a FAT or FAT32 formatted Flash drive. Both the Mac and PC can recognize the drive.
Make sure your files have an extension .jpg/.png/.psd and so on.
Photoshop Mac or PC can open the files.

Input Help (F4) does not work for Planning Functions in Web

Hi Gurus,
I am working in BI-Integrated Planning.
When I execute a planning function from web layout (through Web Application Designer), the "Input Help" does not work. When I give F4 it takes me to the initial planning layout screen from the planning function variable screen without any action being performed.
But the "Input Help" works fine when I have to select for the variable from the initial selection to open the planning layout.
Can anyone suggest me any fix for this...
Thanks!!!

1041N-A-K9 help in doing some basic setup

Hi,
I'm new with setting up CISCO AP, I'm used to GUI and that's what I'm using to set this AP. How my network set is :
ISP Modem/Router (disable radio and set it where DHCP start at 192.168.15) ----> CISCO SG300-28P (Set static IP, upgrade fimware) ----> CISCO 1041N AP (Set static IP, 12.4 firmware).
I have 50mbps down and 25mbps upload speed from ISP, when using their router radio...speedtest.net showed just exactly that...but when using the 1041, I get half of it. It also seems that the GUI is rather slow and stubborn, often it doesnt save settings I selected and rather confusing to use, as the express setup is nothing like "express", you need to go to many different setting to get the radio up. Like it wont allow me to use WPA encryption without RADIUS...I dont have any RADIUS server (I can set up RADIUS with my Synology NAS...but is it really neccesary?)
...also the DNS....DHCP is controlled by the ISP router.
Anyway my question :
1) I've been looking for tutorial to set this AP through GUI and mostly is in CLI...how do you enable WMM for one?
2) This AP doesnt seems to perform as well as the integrated radio, what is so special about this AP beside the CLI for advanced config?
3) I'm planning to use another bran AP in conjuction with this AP, planning to use the same SSID and password...do I need to set them using different channels? I have 2.4ghz phone also, which channels should I choose?
4) I set the AP with static IP, the router provide DHCP service....is there any setting where I should be disable the DHCP service on the AP?
My plan is to get a secure, fast and stable service...that is why I choose this setup...but it's been a time consuming just to set this AP to do basic stuff. The Ubiquiti AP I've set before, just took me 15-30 min to set....this?It's been 6-12 hours with medicore performance...

Hi Scott,
I'm still no where with the CLI atm, tried to upgrade the firmware through HTTP and the pop up just saying :
This window is polling the system for upgrade status
Current status is:
IDLE: Restart completed.
Copyright (c) 1992-2009 by Cisco Systems, Inc.
3
Please wait...
The system is upgrading the software and restarting. This should take between 5 and 15 minutes depending on your network speed. Do not interrupt the upgrade or attempt to access other web pages on the AP during this process.
time elapsed been leaving it all night....the firmware is not updated yet....am I doing something wrong? (disable radio, access the AP with IE and system software, upgrade...find the new firmware and hit install)

Need help with C++ native extension for Android

Hello!
I'm trying to build and launch sample native extension written with C++ on Android device.
But thre
I have:
1) Code of native library:
#include "FlashRuntimeExtensions.h"
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
FREObject nativeFunction(FREContext ctx, void* funcData, uint32_t argc, FREObject argv[])

OMG! Please help me with some actionscript for a flash .php form

Wright I've been trying for ages to get this to work. I have
10 combo boxes and tow input text fields in a "_mc" named "form"
one send button with the following code on it.
on (release) {
form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
I then have this code on the ".php" file.
<?php
$sendTo = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Custom Sven Clog Order Form";
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["name"];
$headers .= "<" . $_POST["email"] . ">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $_POST["email"];
$email .= $_POST["email"];
$name .= $_POST["name"];
$message .= $_POST["treadColor"];
$message .= $_POST["baseColor"];
$message .= $_POST["bendOrNon"];
$message .= $_POST["heelSize"];
$message .= $_POST["nubucColors"];
$message .= $_POST["galaxyColors"];
$message .= $_POST["suedeColors"];
$message .= $_POST["patentColors"];
$message .= $_POST["leatherColors"];
$styles .= $_POST["styles"];
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, "nEmail = $email\nStyles =
$styels\nName = $name";
?>
I've looked at all the normal stuff that might be wrong, is
the "email.php" file on the server? Yes!. Is the ".swf" file on the
server? Yes! I just cant get the code wright! The form is made in
"flash 8 PRO" And the ".swf" file is in a Dreamweaver site. Well
the hole thing is in a Dreamweaver site.
I fill out the form hit send and all I get back is blank
email with the name, sent to and subject lines filed out.
AAAAAAAARrrrrrrrrrr!
Someone please for the of it all tell me wear the hell I have
gone wrong? I thank you all for taking the time to read
this!!!!

Firstly again, your php script, you have now put a '.'
infront of all of the variables.
The '.' consentinas a string. It should read....
<?php
$sendTo = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Custom Sven Clog Order Form";
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["name"];
$headers .= "<" . $_POST["email"] . ">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $_POST["email"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$name = $_POST["name"];
$message = $_POST["treadColor"];
$message .= $_POST["baseColor"];
$message .= $_POST["bendOrNon"];
$message .= $_POST["heelSize"];
$message .= $_POST["nubucColors"];
$message .= $_POST["galaxyColors"];
$message .= $_POST["suedeColors"];
$message .= $_POST["patentColors"];
$message .= $_POST["leatherColors"];
$styles = $_POST["styles"];
Also you need to close the brackets in your mail()
function....
mail ($sendTo, $subject, $message,$headers);
That is the first problem. Your big problem is that you
aren't sending any of the variables from your swf, to the php file.
You need to look up loadVars(). I don't think you can use
loadVariables, as you want to send the variables to php, not
recieve them. You can use loadVars to sendAndLoad variables to the
php... be it 'email','name' etc and the php script will email
them.

Dreamweaver CS3 Extension for CFMX7

I've just downloaded (and installed) CFMX7.02 and Dreamweaver
CS3. The extension for Dreamweaver in /wwwroot/CFIDE/installers ...
file name: CFMX7DreamWeaverExtensions.mxp says isn't compatible w/
Dreamweaver CS3 when installed using the Extension Manager that
came with the Dreamweaver CS3 installation.
Any help on getting CF extensions for Dreamweaver CS3 would
be appreciated.

I believe that extension was for DW MX 2004, everything after
that should have the server side CF stuff in it.

Looking for a good usb hub that will allow my mouse and external hard to work together

I'm looking for some ideas for a good usb hub that will allow me to use a wireless mouse and an external hard drive at the same time, without shorting out the mouse. The one i currently have, when I plug in just the mouse, it's fine, but as soon as i put the external hard drive into the hub port, the mouse no longer works and i have to reinstall the drivers for the mouse.

Hubs and computers vary in their power needs, but it seems that your setup is lacking in the power department. This isn't a big deal with desktop computers, but since you use a MBP, you're going to do best with a powered USB hub.
If you're looking for a USB hub with power supply, Belkin is generally reliable (and above average in price). But the D-Link is compact, reliable, and has a good price. Aim for a USB 3.0 hub if possible, though 2.0 will work fine with just about anything. Insist on a refund if the hub doesn't work in your system. Make sure it's compact, since you'll be carrrying it around.

I have been trying to uninstall several extensions for firefox. Nothing currently on the help site has resolved it.

I have been trying to uninstall several extensions for firefox. I'm told by the Add-Ons window that these extensions will be uninstalled when I restart firefox, but they come back every time I restart. I've tried clearing the extensions cache from my firefox profile and it does not work. Following the steps in all of the active questions regarding this issue among other users have yielded no results. Nothing currently on the help site (which I've combed through for the last three hours) has helped.
Most of the extensions I'm now trying to uninstall are old ones that stopped functioning/being compatible with one of the more recent updates of firefox. The rest are toolbars I've never used because they're unsightly and clutter up my screen
* What I wound up doing was installing the newest of the newest versions of firefox (it's at 5.0 or something now, I think). That just made all the plugins, add-ons, and extensions I wanted to get rid of obsolete and it auto-removed them on its own.

My mac book pro does not boot up correctly anymore after doing some updates. I did have my ipod charging to my mac book. I ran the simple updates and never go to the maverick update and now my computer will not boot correctly. Help!

Please help my computer is not repsonding after doing some simple updates. I follow the instructions and which is simply click for the update to take place. I did what I was instructed to do. I did not do the new update for the Mavericks yet. I just did simple updates. The computer shutted down and restarted but would never get pass the grey screen with the spinning wheel and the booting bar that would not go past a certain point befor shutting off again. The computer is practically brand new. I purchased the computer from best by 2012 and the warrenty just ended the past October. I hardly use the computer maybe 4 times since I have had it because I have another main computer that I uses. However, I don't want to do a hard rest becuase I do have the entire adobe suits software that I paid for and don't want to loose. I have an appointment with apple today to see what they say but I hope that my computer that I hardly every use is not defected after doing a updated pushed by Apple. Any thoughts or suggestions???? Thanks in advance Apple Family :-)

Well, I was at Apple for sometime on that day. I got a Genius that did not want to work. She basically jumped to the money to tell me that my hard drive was no good and that I was out of warranty (October 2013). I began to explain to her that I had only used the computer 5 times and that I don't use this computer as my main computer because I also have a Toshiba that is less expensive that I have had for several years and not one issue out of it. The rep told me that I could by a new hard drive for $161.00 and that I would loose all of my software and photos that I have on this computer. However, I told her that it's bazaar that it happens right after my warranty goes out and had I used it more often when in warranty before October then I would have been covered. Keeping in mind that I would still be very disappointed with the product because I would loose all of my information and it would not make sense to me why the hard drive fails on a very gently used computer. So I asked for a manager and it took her some time to get one. In the mean time I watched how the other Geniuses interacted with the other customers and seen that they were very engaging with convo and very help. I guess I just I got another lemon when I got my rep. When the manager finally came. I went from A-Z with the issues and that I felt that something could or should be done because the rep said that she did tests on my machine and it read to her that my hard drive was bad and there was nothing that could be done. I explained that I was not looking forward to paying for services to have my new computer repaired. The manager offered to give me 25% off the cost but I still didn't feel that it was effective. After he left and the rep wrote the notes in the system, I told her that I didn't think that all options had been exhausted and that there was something else that could be done. I told her to erase the machine and see if the updates could be installed and if the system would continue to do the same thing. The rep was hesitant and said that I would loose everything which we already know that we were at conclusion from the beginning. She assured me that I would happen again and that I would need a new hard drive. I just told her to erase the machine and get me another manager because I was just getting tired of her unhelpfulness and negative perspective. The new manager came and was very pleasant and I explained everything once again from A-Z. I informed him that I had the machine erased and that I need his help with options because I don't feel that the rep or the last manager was resourceful or helpful. He apologies for the actions of the reps and proceed to tell me that they will run all the updates in the store and that if it booted correctly that I should continue to use the machine with out adding the adobe software back on just incase that it crashes again and I'm out of money once again. However, if it does happen again and it is a hard drive issues that he would work with me to resolve the issues. As my computer went through the process of rebooting from out of the box stage another rep approached me because he could tell that I was upset and not happy. I told he what had happen and he said I think I can help you a little more. He said that I just want to run further testing on you computer for different components to make sure that everything would work properly and pin point any issues. I was delighted with that option. Anything would help at this time especially someone who is willing to help. The first test that he ran was to for the hard drive and he said that since it failed the test the first time could be because the software update glitch and did update correctly which would make the test faulty and be negative. As I sit with finger crossed the test came back as a pass test that my hard drive was not the issue and that the update was the cause and that I did not have to buy a new hard drive. I was happy that the computer was ok but I lost information. All of the updates were done in the store and everything works fine now. If I was not persistent about my gut feeling then I would had left out thinking that I had to pay for a new hard drive that I really didn't needed. Now I can invest that money in a external hard drive to start backing up my information. Lesson learned by I'm still on the fence about things but I hope all is well. I really went through a lot. No help or no service was not an option that I was taken. I hope that it helps.

A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.

The Apple techs are looking. But they can't find it. Nor can they find a back up on my laptop, Evidently when I backed up my Iphone to computer the calendar wasn't syncing. Since I only use the calander on my phone - I never noticed.
The Apple store rep that sold me the I-Phone 5 on Monday, was transferring my contacts and calendar thru I-Cloud (I never used I-Cloud before that moment - and always had it turned off). He successfully transferred the contacts - which are still on my phone), but the Calendar weirdly split into 6 calendars (2 of which were linked to my G-Mail which only had a few entries) (4 were linked to my MSN / Hotmail email and contained all the major events/data). I never created calendars that were separate or liked them to 2 different emails. I just typed entries into the I-Phone calendar. However, the calendar did exist on the new I-Phone for 24 hours. Something happened during transfer. When the Apple Genius Bar tech was attempting to back up my Calendar & merge the 6 calendars, everything disappeared in his hand while he was looking at it.
I am hoping that some really good data recovery expert exists that can restore the calendar that was in both I-Phones yesterday. It is completely devastating if I can't recover it.
Any help, or referrals, is great appreciated!!!!
Thanks!
