Looking for a suitable "long" USB 3.0 Y splitter that fits 15 inch retina.

Hello,
The Macbook Pro retina has it's two USB ports on opposite sides of the keyboard. I wanted to use a USB 3.0 Y splitter cable, but the only ones I can find have a rather short Y split - probably as USB ports are usually situated beside each other. But for the 15 inch retina, the Y split cable length needs to be 20 inches or 50cm long - otherwise both ends cannot be plugged in at the same time.
Does anyone know of any source for a Y split USB 3.0 cable with a long Y split? I live in Europe (UK).
My reasons for wanting this:
I have a Seagate Desktop USB 3.0 hard drive dock which runs from mains power and USB 3.0. The hard drive sits on a small "dock" and is removable. The dock has a normal SATA connection for the hard drive and USB 3.0 plus power at the rear.
I wish to plug in an SSD drive instead of the drive it comes with (3TB desktop size). I have tried this and it works really well, and it is much much faster.
However I want to use this in a field situation where I need the SSD for speed but will not have access to mains power. So I wanted to try and run the dock using USB 3.0 power only. It does not power up using only it's supplied USB 3.0 cable, but I wanted to try a splitter Y cable and see if the power from 2 USB 3.0 ports would work.
I have tried this technique with the Seagate Thunderbolt desktop, but it will not run with just the thunderbolt cable - even with only an SSD connected.
I had success using SSDs with the Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt (which is bus powered only), however I wanted to use larger SSDs i.e 1TB and had read that this device had trouble proving enough power consistantly.
Before I purchase an expensive 1TB SSD I wanted to see if I could power up the dock using USB 3.0 alone.
Thanks for any help :-)

Thanks for you suggestion Gnomish8.
However this hub would only plug into one of the MacBook's USB ports. Therefore it would not provide any extra power. I need the extra power (hopefully provided) by plugging into both USB ports at the same time.

These are tech forums for people using iMacs and experiencing problems. Frankly, I'm not sure what you are looking for (use of punctuation and spell checker is helpful as well), but if it isn't related to a Mac, you might try to post in a different forum.

Will Apple improve the earbud structure? The current ones kill my ears. For the price consumers pay for these products, we should receive top notch earbuds that fit the ear.

How to tell Front Row to look for movies on a USB drive?

I'm working on getting all my dvd's on two 500gb usb drives - using Handbrake to encode everything. This is much faster with a new 2.4ghz 24" iMac by the way (6-8hrs on my 1.8ghz athlon vs 1-2 with the iMac...woohoo).
What I'm trying to do is get the movies (on the usb drives) to show up in Front Row. One way I know of is by making an alias for each movie and moving the alias to my "Movies" folder on the main HD. This is a little tedious. When I simply drag and drop it in the "Movies" folder it just copies it and that is not what I want. Is there a way to just tell Front Row where to look for the movies? If I use iTunes the same thing happens, it just transfers all movies to the main HD...nevermind. I unchecked the box that said to copy everything.
The plan was on using iTunes for movies I encode specifically for iPods exclusively, searching through 600+ movies to get a few for the iPod doesn't seem user friendly.
So the question remains. Is there another way to get Front Row to just see the movies on another drive without iTunes or using an alias for each one or are those 2 my only choices?

I'm glad you got it figured out. Front Row actually looks for movie files in two places. First, as you've discovered, it looks inside your user's "Movies" folder. An alias there pointing to a different location will lead Front Row to the other location. Also, Front Row looks inside iTunes for movies. This way, it can find TV shows, music videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Music Store. Another option, besides making an alias in your "Movies" folder, would be to add the movies to iTunes.

Looking for black, extra long cable.

Any recommendations on an extra long black charging/sync cable for iPads? Found one but it does not actually charge. Desperately looking for a source to buy in quantity. Any recommendations welcome.

If you're only looking for a longer charging cord, have you considered just buying an extenstion cord? Obviously, that won't work if you're connecting it to a computer but should do fine if you're using the power adapter.

Looking for LabView 6i GPIB-USB-A driver for Agilent E7401A

I am looking for LabView 6i GPIB-USA-A driver for Agilent E7401A EMC ANALYZER.

Hi,
There is a driver for this device available for downloading from the National Instruments Instrument Driver Network. Here is a link to the download page:
Multi-Environment Certified IVI Instrument Driver
Unfortunately, however, this driver is only available for 7.0 and 7.1. Unless someone else on this message board has created one for 6i, you will need to create your own.
The other option is to upgrade to LabVIEW 7.1, which I highly recommend. There are many improvements over LabVIEW 6, including Express VIs, Event Structures, and many others. You can see the new funtionality of LabVIEW 7.1 with a free online demo version at this link
Try LabVIEW 7.1 FREE Online
If you are interested in upgrading, you can call your National Instruments Technical Sales Representative at (888) 280-7645. Have a great day, and good luck with your driver search.

My server keeps telling me that I have an update for 10.10.1 and that I should look for it in the app store. I do that and am not finding anything that makes the update notification go away. I have installed an update the app store says I need.

I updated to Yosemite on my Mac mini/server. Then my server wouldn't work. I updated and bought the software needed when updating to Yosemite. The server seems to be working. Subsequently I've started getting a notification on the server icon that an update is needed. When i look for details I'm instructed to go to the app store. I've done that. In the updates category no update is found by the app store system. I then went to the purchases category and was informed I needed to install the server software I'd purchased. While I'd installed before, I did it again. I still have the 1 in a red circle covering part of the server icon. I have restarted the mac mini. I can't figure out what step I'm missing. The continued presence of the red circle suggests that the software still isn't installed. Looked into restarting the server in help but don't find clear instructions that make sense. Suggestions from someone who has a mac mini server and has worked with this topic would be greatly appreciated. General comments from anyone who has not looked at this kind of problem before might turn out to be unenlightening for this neophyte.

I tried turning the computer off and then back on. The alerts don't show the notice to update as resolved. Hopefully this is not a problem or an indicator or another problem. Should I ignore or reload 10.10.1 from the app store to trigger a resolved check in a green circle?
Interesting that I had to buy server software after my free Yosemite download. I would have hoped that the two pieces of software would have gone together without any complication. It is not positive to end up buying a problem. Ah well, time to move on.

Looking for A Suitable Container o.0

Really trying to figure out an appropriate way to open up a new frame or something based upon the clicking of a button located in a JPanel, the panel located in a tab.
Boy did I have some interesting results when I tried using JInternal Frame!!! While quite humerous, definately not the answer! I would use JDialog but I need to be able to add JRadioButtons or some other method to select a specific catagory of entry as well as the input itself, and it doesn't look like JDialog can do much.
Thank you if you have any ideas!

ODD on my Satellite L550-11J is damaged - looking for new suitable device

hello,
the dvr device of my toshiba satellite L550-11J (bought in 2009) with windows vista 64 seems to be broken. it is a "pioneer dvd-rw dvrtd09a". it doesn`t show on windows anymore, not in the explorer, not in the device manager (if this s the english name of it, i don`t know, i am german speaking). it doesn`t even show in the bios or boot device, so i think it is not a software problem but the hardware is broken.
which new dvr device is suitable for my notebook? i cannot find the same dvr device on amazon or elsewhere to buy, so i guess i need another one that suits.please help.
best wishes
no-idea

addendum:
sometimes, the dvr device is back for a little while, but 90% of the time it is not recognized. i guess it has a defective contact. i already took it out, blew into it and but it back in. no result. it has power and it can be opened and closed. cd`s that are put in are turning for a few seconds, than it stops.
when the device is gone, it cannot be found in the bios!!!

Hi, thanks for the suggestions.
I tried the changes you suggest to my rc.conf, Windtalker. They were my original settings when I first installed Arch.
Everything works as before, except my eth0 seems to have a different address, but I still can't resolve names.
The thing is I could ping the DNS server and google before, and they responded, if I pinged their ip addresses. So I must be connecting to the internet, mustn't I?
But I still can't ping www.google.com , just get unknown host. So i think it's got to be a DNS problem because its when I try to use names instead of ip's that I get trouble.
Here is what I'm thinking(guessng), can anybody tell me if this is right:
When I ping www.google.com, ping needs to resolve the name so it can send the pings.
So ping asks Arch (the kernal or a network daemon) for help.
Arch finds a Nameserver's ip in resolv.conf, and tries to resolve the name by sending a request to the Nameserver via the default gateway.
The default gateway is linked to my router via eth0 in rc.conf
So, Arch can use the router to get the ip address for the name from the server and give it to ping.
And ping can ping it.
But ping just waits a while and says: unknown host
Any ideas?
I looked in Arch Bugs and found this http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12643
could it be a problem with dhcpcd. It does seem to be running, but how can I find out more about what its up to.
Cheers all.
Please post the output of ifconfig.
Do you have any other machine connected to the same router? If yes, do you use static or dynamic ip-adress there?

Looking for ako "Layer restore brush"...

Hi,
I know that this function exists in Photoshop, although I haven't used it for a long time, but now I should and don't know how to manage it:
I want to use a brush on a layer which copies pixels from the layer underneath.
Does anybody know how to do this? Thanks for any hints,

That's what I was looking for! Thanks, Mtstuner! I was not aware that the

Have a great day,

Looking for Multi-Bay 5.25" Enclosure

I am looking for a 2 or 4 Bay 5.25" Enclosure that will support using mobile racks. It must have more than one interface (i.e. Firewire and USB). I would prefer to have one with FW800, FW400 and USB 2.0.
Does anyone have any good suggestions?

I ended up going with a FW400/FW800 Bay from a seller on eBay. It works great.
