How can i activate the serial port on OS X 10.9.2?

I need to connect My MacBook Pro to a switch via console but the laptop dont recognice this port. I tried to use prolific driver to install but when I go to System Preferences doesn't show serial port

The device you bought looks like the Plugable adapter I bought, which is based on Prolific PL2303, so you just need to know what the tty for the serial device is.  The drivers on the Plugable site says 10.6 or greater, so maybe try those.
http://plugable.com/products/pl2303-db9
In my case, its /dev/tty.usbserial.  If you want to just connect to a switch, install the drivers and use screen like so:
screen <serial device> <baud rate>
ex:
screen /dev/tty.usbserial 115200

    How can I activate the need of licens?
    The reason can be Adobe policy, I have change computer, added products, stop using any product and so on.

    Hans,
    When you no longer need the Adobe software on a computer or you wish to move it to another one, you should deactivate the software.
    See this link: how to deactivate software. Installation rules will let you install the software on two computers of the same platform (both windows or both mac) but you are limited to running it on only one at a time. If you have only installed it once, you should be able to install it on the other computer. If you have already installed the software twice and you don't have access to your previous computer or you upgraded your computer's hardware, replace a hard drive, upgraded your operating system, or reformatted your drive before deactivating your software, you can ask Adobe Support to help you deactivate the software from the machine. Just have your serial number or Adobe ID ready, and then contact support. Then you can install the software from the links below and enter your serial number to re-activate the software.
    If you need to find your serial number, sign in to your Adobe account. On the Manage Accounts page that appears, all of your registered products and their serial numbers are listed in the Plans & Products section. For more information on locating serial numbers, or on registering a serial number, please see Find a serial number.

  • How can i us the parallel port of the printer to control a frequenz-generator?

    Hello all !
    I like to  control with LabVIEW 8 student-version, the Frequenz-generator gadget . For this challenge i like to us the parallel port of the printer. I need for data flow only 2 cable. The frequenz-generator gadget need two signal : Low and High.How  can i  us the parallel port of the printer to control a frequenz-generator gadget? I have us  the VIs-Visa  (Visa-Serial, write, Close ), but i dont no what command i have to write on the Visa-Write so that the Signal can be in the low or high position.
    Thanks

    Hi Jeanjac,
    first, look here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_port
    to get the port numbering. also, be sure not to leave pin unconected, sometimes you might get an error message otherwise (i remember pin11 has to be always connected or so for windows...)
    second, just run the test panel in MAX and write something to your device to check if it works.
    then in LV, you have to decide to which pin is connected your instrument. in any case you have to address all 8 output pins together! this is a parallel...
    if you prefere to use only one pin, then you can use the serial port, with just pin 2 and 3 connected. it would work easier for you, since you address only one bit.
    Gabriel
    ... And here's where I keep assorted lengths of wires...

  • How can i use the parallel port

    I was wondering how to adress my PC´s
    parallel port. I did'nt find a suitable
    VI in the palettes.
    Do I have to read/write somehow directly
    to the port adress in memory 0378 ...?
    If so, how can this be done ?
    Thanks for any help,
    Holsch

    Use VISA to read/write to the parallel port just like you would read/write
    to the serial port. I would staty away from the inport/outport stuff. I believe
    there's some articles in the KnowledgeBase if you get stuck.

  • How can I clear the parallel port?

    I'm sending image-files to a custom made printing unit via VISA through the parallel port.
    Sometimes the unit doesn't accept the file.
    Therefore I need to clear the parrallel port completely and send the file again.
    (Right now I'm switching off the unit and waiting for the error message from WindowsNT).
    How can I clear the parrallel port via LabVIEW?
    (VISA clear.vi doesn't work, the data is still on the port).

    Rainer,
    Maybe you can try the "VISA Flush I/O Buffer" vi (VISA - VISA Advanced -
    Interface Specific). It worked on a serial port, but I have no idea if it
    works
    also on a parallel port. It is worth trying it.
    Good Luck.

  • How can I activate the transfer rules for the ODS updating a data target.

    We are on BW 3.5 and I'm loading data into the 0FIGL_O10 ODS  and then uploading the data into the cube 0FIGL_C10. The data loads just fine to the ODS but when I try to <u><b>'update the data target'</b></u> I get a date & time stamp' error on the info-package transfer rules.
    I then Replicate the datasource 80FIGL_O01.
    I must then <u><b>'activate' the transfer rules</b></u>.
    However I cannot get the transfer rules for 80FIGL_O10 in CHANGE MODE to activate them.
    How can I activate the transfer rules for the ODS updating a data target.
    The error text is as follows:
    DataSource 80FIGL_O10 has to be replicated (time stamp, see long text)
    Message no. R3016
    Diagnosis
    DataSource 80FIGL_O10 does not have the same status as the source system in the Business Information Warehouse.
    The time stamp in the source system is 02/15/2007 10:42:33.
    The time stamp in the BW system is 11/07/2006 13:11:54.
    System response
    The load process has been terminated.
    <b>Procedure
    Copy the DataSource again and then activate the transfer rules that belong to it. You have to activate the transfer rules in every case, even if they are still active after the DataSource has been copied.</b>

    I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

    If it's the same computer, same CPU and same HD, no de-activation or re-activation should be necessary.
    Install from scratch and apply all updates manually.
    Please do a forum search.  I and others have repeatedly answered the question about failed updates of CS5 a whole bunch of times recently.
    Bottom line:  the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions.  You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
    I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.

    Thanks for replying, Jim. I wasn't planning to use it for raw images. I shoot film, black and white, and have many negatives I want to print. I am unfamiliar with the upgrades in Lightroom. I wasn't unhappy with the version I have. It was useful for my purposes.
    Because it was a few years ago, I don't remember if I registered the product. I was able to login to my account. But could not find a path to communicate with Adobe. I will keep trying.
