No. ThunderBolt is not the same as USB.
I have asked the Hosts to move your thread to correct forum.

The loading bar at the bottom of my Firefox browser has suddenly disappeared and I want to reinstall or reactivate it. How do I do this please and what is this bar called? I use the latest version of Firefox 3.6.3 and Windows XP. I have many add ons and I usually automatically install the recommended updates. This problem has never happened before and switching my browser on and off again does not solve the issue.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I am not sure why this suddenly happened. I think it may have been after my usual updates but I am not sure if that has anything to do with it at all.

Loading Bar? Maybe the URL/address bar where you type sites you want to go to (like www.google.com)? See Navigation Bar below. You may also need to see the first item "Can't see the Menu Bar".

In general most macs you buy are the same. If you will be doing quite a lot of editing of photos and videos, then the big things to look for are:
Processor - 2.8ish GHz Intel i7 4-core - is about the best I have head of thus far.
RAM - fairly easy to upgrade yourself, but 16GB is typically more than you will need for the next 5 years at least.
iLife is reasonably good software for editing media, but as a photographer, you may have your own prefered software
The good thing about Apple is that they don't sell ****** computers in general. They offer little in the way of customization of hardware which is both their strength and weakness.

Hi Evtek,
I'm afraid that there does not appear to be any way to disable the autocomplete of the LabVIEW combo box. If this is a real problem the best suggestion I could give you would be to try the .net combo box. This does allow you to disable the autocomplete mode although obivously the programming would be slightly more complex than the built in combo box.
Otherwise you could use the update value on every key and use a different event to trigger the movement or if it isnt the enter key that is pressed do nothing in the event case.

Is it a better decision to purchase a Thunderbolt display for my macbook air or a new imac?

Is it a better decision to purchase a Thunderbolt display for my macbook air or a new imac? Both are around the same cost; Air-to-Thunderbolt display adds convenience of files being in one place rather than two computers. Other cosiderations?

You may have a problem

From first glance, it appears that the cable may be the determinant factor, but the article suggests in the resolution that the device providing the video must be Thunderbolt equipped also.

If they're both on the same network you can enable file sharing on both and transfer files through your LAN, you don't need any cables.

What is the thing called that is above the iPad camera.

On my iPad when I look closely right above the camera on the side where the screen is there is this thing that looks like a speaker in a circle shape. Does anyone know what it is?

Are you sure your Speck cover supports the "smart cover" feature? If so, you may need to talk to Speck about the problem, though a restart of the iPad may help. If not, see if you can find a genuine Apple cover to try. If that works, then the problem is almost certainly with the Speck product.

What is the best way to manage my iTunes accounts/libraries on my new iMac

I just bought a new iMac and I'm stymied as to what I should do in terms of importing my old iTunes music.
Here's what I've got:
1 new iMac
1 desktop PC with MY iTunes account (once I take the iTunes music off of here, I'll be done with this computer)
1 laptop PC with my wife's iTunes account - (this laptop will still be used for a while to come)
2 iPhones - each one is currently set to our individual accounts.
What I want:
My wife and I no longer need separate iTunes accounts (if that makes it easier in the long run...?). I'd like to have all music combined from our PCs and playable on the new iMac. Also, I want the entire library playable on the laptop. I'd like to be able to make purchases on either computer and have them available on either computer without too much hassle, but I'm not sure this is even possible. And, of course, I'd like to be able to sync each of our iPhones to the iMac but with different users (pulling from the same library, but with different apps on each - if possible).
Needless to say, I've convinced myself this is the most confusing iMac/iTunes migration ever. I'm a Mac newbie, so I'm sure you guys know a lot more and have good suggestions for what I should do. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!

Hi
Thanks for that. But do I have to us the external disc, moving it from PC to Mac or is there a better way?. Can you directly connect the systems. I assume wifi is too slow as the size is about 10G

Calling spclientcontext.executeQueryAsync works on the first call, but fails on the second call

I have a webpart that I'm using to display a tree of folders and files from a SharePoint list. When a folder is clicked, some client side code is used to expand the contents of the folder (the code queries the SharePoint list for any child items of the folder).
The code works the first time the folder is clicked. However, if I then click on a sub folder, the code fails. If I click on the sub folder a second time, the code succeeds. This pattern continues - every second time I call my function, it fails.
E.g.
First Click (clicked on Guides), which succeeds, and expands the Guides folder. Second Click (clicked on "In Progress") (fails)
Third Click (clicked on In Progress) (succeeds)
Any ideas why this might happen?
My code looks like this:
var _dweb;
var _dlist;
var _dwebId;
var _dlistId;
var _dfolderUrl;
var _dchildContainerId;
var _dactionContainerId;
var _dlistItems;
var _rtdocsJsInQuery = 0;
function expandorcolapsefolder(webId, listId, folderUrl, parentElementId, childContainerId, actionContainerId) {
var parentElement = $(("#" + parentElementId));
var childElement = $(("#" + childContainerId));
if (parentElement.attr("expanded") == "0") {
parentElement.attr("expanded", "1");
childElement.css("display", "block");
} else {
parentElement.attr("expanded", "0");
childElement.css("display", "none");
return;
if (childElement.attr("dataretrieved") == "0") {
GetData(webId, listId, folderUrl, childContainerId, actionContainerId);
function GetData(webId, listId, folderUrl, resultsElementId, actionContainerId) {
if(_rtdocsJsInQuery==1)
alert('Please wait for the previous action to finish, before trying again.');
_rtdocsJsInQuery = 1;
_dchildContainerId = resultsElementId;
_dactionContainerId = actionContainerId;
_dwebId = webId;
_dlistId = listId;
ShowActionContainer(actionContainerId);
try {
var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
_dweb = context.get_web();
_dlist = _dweb.get_lists().getById(listId);
var query = new SP.CamlQuery();
query.set_viewXml('<View><OrderBy><FieldRef Name="Title"/><FieldRef Name="FileLeafRef"/></OrderBy></View>');

try {

} catch (error) {
alert("Failed to process query results... " + error);

window.setTimeout(HideActionContainer(_dactionContainerId), 500);

I fixed this problem by initialising the clientcontext object with a URL (rather than using the get_current property). This suits my needs, as the web that the page the webpart is on, won't always be in the same web as the list.
I'm still unsure why "var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();" fails every second time?!
Here's the snippet of code I changed, for others reference (namely "var ctx = new SP.ClientContext('/weburl');"):
function GetData(webId, listId, folderUrl, resultsElementId, actionContainerId) {
if(_rtdocsJsInQuery==1)
alert('Please wait for the previous action to finish, before trying again.');
return;
_rtdocsJsInQuery = 1;
_dchildContainerId = resultsElementId;
_dactionContainerId = actionContainerId;
_dwebId = webId;
_dlistId = listId;
ShowActionContainer(actionContainerId);
try {
var ctx = new SP.ClientContext('/eog');
_dweb = ctx.get_web();
_dlist = _dweb.get_lists().getById(listId);
var query = new SP.CamlQuery();
query.set_viewXml('<View><OrderBy><FieldRef Name="Title"/><FieldRef Name="FileLeafRef"/></OrderBy></View>');
query.set_folderServerRelativeUrl(folderUrl);
_dlistItems = _dlist.getItems(query);
ctx.load(_dweb);
ctx.load(_dlist);
ctx.load(_dlistItems, 'Include(ID,Title,DocIcon,_dlc_DocIdUrl,DisplayName,FileSystemObjectType,FileLeafRef,ServerUrl)');
ctx.executeQueryAsync(QuerySuccessful,QueryFailed);
return true;
} catch (e) {
alert("Failed to execute query... " + e);
HideActionContainer(actionContainerId);
return false;

Forcing the opendoc call to open in the same page when using web elements

Hi,
I'm using the WE Submit web element to send an opendoc call to BOE, I'm calling the same report and re-running with new search criteria.
Is there a way to force the report to open in the same viewer as opposed to opening a new window?
Thanks in advance,
Angela.

hello Angela,
i assume that you're using a WETargetPath function along with the submit. normally the submit function should then open the report in the same window.
for example, if your report has an ID of 12134, then the following code should open the same report in the same window
stringvar path:= WETargetPath ("rpt", "ID", "12134", "");
WESubmit ("S1", "Button", "GO", path, '')
you can also use the last parameter in the WETargetPath to specify a location...using "Same" will force opening in the same window, while "New" will force a new window.
stringvar path:= WETargetPath ("rpt", "ID", "12134", "weWindow=Same");
WESubmit ("S1", "Button", "GO", path, '')
If you've downloaded the latest version of webelements from [here|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/webelements] there's a "submit methods" report in the download that you can publish and have a look at the various options.
cheers,
jamie

What can I do with just a Built-in AirPort Extreme on a new iMac.

If I get a new iMac (Built-in AirPort Extreme), and plug my internet modem to it, my other computer (G5 10.5.8) should be able to connect to the internet wirelessly? Can it also use the printer attached to the iMac?
Thanks in advance!

So it's a Power Mac G5. The answer is yes. That's one of the ways a router is designed to work. The "router" is the AirPort Extreme Base Station in this case. It obviously has wireless, but it also has Ethernet ports for a wired connection. So if it's convenient for the Power Mac G5 to be located near the ISP's modem device (and router), that will work.
You can also add wireless to a Power Mac G5 without Apple's AirPort card, which is hard to find and somewhat slow by today's standards.
If it is the older Power Mac G5 model (not the last "dual core" version), it has PCI slots. You can get something like this
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXP802NPCI/
or for any Power Mac G5
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MXP802NU2C/
There are other similar products, but make sure there are Mac OS X drivers for the product.
If you can locate the Power Mac G5 near the router, and you are going to get an AirPort Extreme Base Station, you should just connect it with an Ethernet cable. A wired connection is faster and more reliable than wireless.

Need advice, what to add to my MBA ... a 24" ACD or buy new iMac?

I have the MacBook Air 1.8 / 128 SSD and now have the 24" ACD monitor it's a nice set up, but I can't help but think of another possible option that I may like more ...
I'm considering returning the ACD and exchanging it for the 24" iMac and I'd use the iMac along with my MBA.
I like typing on my MBA and using the trackpad, being able to move it around the office, house or desk in a second and not being tethered to the monitor is nice, I know its only two plugs but ...
Having an iMac to use along with the MBA has many benefits, the obvious is it's a separate computer, lol, ... but you can leave the MBA on it's own at all times, use them together, lots of extra storage space, also to run windows on via boot camp on the iMac etc ....
It's about $900 more, for many many more benefits. I love the 24" ACD monitor but can't help thinking of the added benefits of the iMac for not a whole lot more money mine be worth it and sort of complete my system, best of both worlds...
What would you do?

Would you buy to go with the MBA?
So far I bought the 24" ACD, I really like it.
Still I'm considering exchanging the ACD and getting the new 24" iMac. Reason being in a way I'd like to keep my Air separate and not attached to an external display, I really like typing on the Air, its Touchpad and the screen is great. True, when I hook up to the 24" ACD it's beatiful and the Apple BT keyboard is alright, but for whatever reason part of me wants to get the iMac and use the Air along side of it ...
Or, I could go all out and keep the ACD to use with my Air when I like PLUS buy the iMac. In that case I'd sell my HP desktop and 24" HP monitor I have. BUT if I did that I'd loose a benefit I'm getting from the HP desktop which is HDMI ports. This is one thing that's more of a challenge with the mac because I also hook up to a 37" Panasonic Vierra for movie watching. So my HP desktop has the 24" monitor and my 37" TV attached to it.
A lot of computers, eh? They're all used hard for our business and entertainment as well. I was cruising along fine with an x301 ... then I had to try the MBA and I'm hooked, I love that that computer! So, now with the addition of the 24" ACD I'm thinking of the iMac as well. The HP has it's quirks, non working USB ports, had to reinstall the OS a few times, so I won't mind getting rid of it. But how to hook up the iMac to the Panasonic, it has no DVI port.
From a minimalist viewpoint I could probably get by with just my Air as my main machine, and use an external hard drive for extra storage / back up. Then when I required the use of a large monitor or to run Windows App's I could use the HP desktop. In one way this 'could' be the least aggravating too, my TV already hooks up easily via HDMI, the HP monitor on the desktop is good, then just use the Air when I'm away from my desk. (Plus I have to get my wife a new pc regardless of what I do, realistically a 13" MB will suilt her, it's small/light but has the power and peripherals she needs.
From a 'maximalist' view I could keep the ACD for my Air, add the iMac as my desktop, sell the HP or give to my wife to use at her desk and get her the MBA ! PLUS replace my Linksys dual band $200 router with Time Capsule and the whole system would be complete. I'd install windows on the iMac ... is all that worth the cost and effort ... I don't know.
It's not a matter of cost, we're a low overhead busy company and I haven't redone our computer set up for some time now ...

I am purchasing a new 27" iMac. I want to continue using logic pro 9 on it but cannot download it from the app store. How do I put it on my new iMac?

I have a imac 21.5 " computer in my studio and want the larger screen of the 27". After I purchase it how do I install logic pro 9 on it when the application is no longer available on the app store?

You can transfer your software from your old computer to the new one by using Migration Assistant or read the alternative solutions by checking out Setting-up a new Mac from an old one, its Backups, or a PC.
