What does the down arrow at the end of the location bar do

Cannot find a description of this item in the help info

Depending on the settings you have for [[Location bar autocomplete#Controlling behavior|location bar suggest settings]], it will display a list of sites based on an algorithm that analyzes how often you visit a site and how recently the site was visited. After using Firefox for a while this should be a list of regularly visited sites.

I understand that when using Numbers/Pages - an up-arrow on a document means that the file is still to be uploaded to the cloud, what does a down arrow mean? It seems the document can't be accessed until the arrow clears.

I understand that when using Numbers/Pages - an up-arrow on a document means that the file is still to be uploaded to the cloud, what does a down arrow mean? It seems the document can't be accessed until the arrow clears.

I believe what it's supposed to mean is that some changes were made to the document on another device, and those changes were saved back to the cloud. Now you've opened iWork on a different device to access that document - it compares the document you've got locally with the one in the could, sees some recent changes and downloads them.
What gets me is why this sometimes happens even when I've not made any changes to a document from another device.

What does the bookmark bar do? How does it work?

What does the bookmark bar do? How does it work?

You can use the bookmarks bar in Safari to have links to some sites permanently shown at the top of the screen below the address field and icons - so you just have to tap the link on the bar to go to that site as opposed to tapping the bookmarks icon and finding the link in there. So it's just a slightly quicker way to go some of your more regularly used sites

What does the location of the peak detector mean

i would like to know what the locations of the peak detector refer to? what does the value of the location of the peak detector tell? does it tell the location of the peak and if so, what unit is it in? also, if i set a threshold value, does it mean that only one peak would be detected or any value higher than that threshold would also be detected? if i were to set the sampling rate for my peak detection to be 400 per millisecond, do i expect to see an array of values or one absolute peak value after one cycle?

Greetings!
The peak value VI gives you four outputs, actually: positive and negative peak values and the positive and negative peak "horizontal" locations. The locations are in data points, not actual time. To get the time, you have to calculate it from your sample rate. Also, the vi does indeed give you the absolute peak of a waveform, which, as you can guess, requires that the entire waveform is sampled BEFORE the calculation is made. This can slow down real-time sampling, since there is considerable processing involved in calculating the peak value...you need to keep this in mind when designing your application. To answer your last question, you will obtain ONE reading per trigger.
Hope this helps!

What does the progress bar mean?

I have just started using TM after installing Leopard a few weeks ago. My plan is to continue to use Super Duper to do a weekly, bootable backup, but to use TM for essentially data backup. With that in mind, I have excluded system files, applications, and other partitions on the backup drive, figuring that the actual amount of data to be backed up will be relatively small.
On it initial backup the progress bar showed 30 GB possible and when the progress bar showed 10 GB, which was far more than I had anticipated, I stopped it, thinking that I needed to fine tune what I was excluding. When I look at the file, backups.backupdb, I see that it's right around 2 GB right now.
This leads me to believe that the progress bar on the initial run is only indicating how much of the data has been evaluated not necessarily how much has been backed up. Can someone confirm this or set me straight on just what the progress bar is telling me?
-Bill

One of the things I noticed is that I had indeed left out one of the partitions on the very drive that I am using as the TM backup. I know that TM won't backup its own backup, but I don't think it can identify other partitions on the same drive. The partition in question actually contains the SuperDuper backup, something I don't need on TM. I did go back and exclude it and the calculated backup dropped from 30 GB to 20 GB, which is still way in excess of what I am actually wanting to back up.
Given what you have said about potentially damaging the backup, perhaps I need to start over. How would I go about doing this, just delete the existing backupdb file? Then go in and rework the excluded files and really narrow things down. This does seem, however, to defeat the process somewhat, the idea of just let it do its thing.
Since my photos and music are already kept on an external drive, on the same partition, in fact, that I will be keeping the TM backup, those are files which do not come into the TM picture. Actually the more I think about this the more dicey it is becoming.
What I have been doing up until now is doing a weekly SuperDuper backup and copying my Documents folder separately. I have five folders, representing up to five weeks in a month and would copy the Documents folder into week one the first week of the month and so on throughout the month. Then next month I would overlay week by week what I had done before. That assured me that I would always have one month of Documents should I restore a SuperDuper backup beyond what was in the Documents folder on that particular SD version.
What I am wanting to do is essentially the same thing except use TM to backup the Documents folder. Perhaps that's a too narrowly defined and too difficult to implement use of TM. Perhaps I have to rethink this. Comments?

What does the spotlight bar in my podcast page do ?

Hi,
In my iWeb podcast page, there is a spotlight bar. At first I thought it was for searching words or something in the podcasts, but it leads to a page with no results "powered by .mac" .
What does it really do ?
Sincerly.

My website is posted in mobileme but my searches always lead to "no results". Are you talking about the blog or the podcast pages ?

What does the scroll bar do?

When scrollng a Safari page using my fingers, on my new iPad(3), the scroll bar on the right shows up. However, I do not seem to be able to "grab" it and use it.
How do I use that scroll bar to move up and down a page rapidly?

Are you saying there is no fast way to go to the bottom or back to the top? That the scrollbar is just for show?
I have some webpages that are very long and it still takes a dozen or more flicks to get to the bottom.
I am not impressed.

Why does the location bar only perform searches, even typing about:config just returns a google search for "about:config"

My location bar will only perform web searches and no longer takes the browser directly to web address entered manually. for example typing "about:config" returns the results of a google search for "about:config", typing "http://www.gawker.com" does not take me to gawkers website but rather returns google search results for "http://www.gawker.com".

What does the little cloud with a down arrow next to a song mean

I upgraded my phone from iOS6 to iOS7 and had to remove all my music to get enough space which is fine because I wanted to reload it anyways. When I opened the music app, thinking there would be no music there, I was surprised to fine hundreds of songs each with a little cloud with a down arrow next to them. What does the little cloud with the down arrow mean? If I click on it am I purchasing something? Are they songs I can listen to for free? I don't use and have never signed up for an iCloud account so they can't be songs I purchased because I haven't purchased any songs.

Means they are stored in the cloud and you need to download them.

What does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

what does the orange circle with white arrows mean?

Well, I've not seen that one before. In fact I had to click on it so as to read the tiny
text, then it appeared in another window as a .png image... so I retyped it + also
supplied a .jpg of the same image of different size. Too wide: automatically scale.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
...maybe this is large enough to see without clicking? It probably scaled small.
•About the actual topic in your reply, in regular size text:
{ did you upgrade from an older Mac OS X? from what?}
You mean it could not or would not boot SafeBoot?
Here's an official support topic page about it.
•OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
Could be you need to start from a boot volume, or Recovery partition to repair it.
That is a more detailed way to repair disk & repair disk permissions, unmounted.
Not sure about that SUID thing, though. It may revert after a normal startup.
Maybe someone can offer better 'ways & means'... LOL!
Good luck & happy computing!

Clicking on the downward arrow at the right end of the location bar no longer displays the drop-down list of sites visited, bookmarks and addresses typed in location bar

Since I upgraded to Firefox version 3.6.10, clicking on the downward arrow at the right end of the location bar no longer displays the drop-down list of sites visited, bookmarks and addresses typed in location bar. My Tools > Options > privacy setting is to save history, and if I start typing a previously accessed website's address in the location bar, then the full address appears as a drop-down item. But not when I just click at the right end of the bar.

You can try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Exactly what does the Data Drop-down List do?

What does the Data Drop-down List do? Is it used to make a drop-down list from certain records in a column in a table of a data base?

Yes, this is exactly what it does. However, it's a custom control, not a built-in control. JavaScript is used to set it up. In order to use it you have to have a data connection in the document and modify the "Initialize" script, which is were the list is populated from the DB. The "Initialize" code is a good example of how to use XFA JavaScript to access a DB. However, the code is also written in a very general manor and takes the long way around to hooking up to the DB. Much shorter code can be written for a specific DB.

HT1766 what does 'the activation server is temporarily down' mean?

what does 'the activation server is temporarily down' mean?

That you may have jailbroken your phone. You may have used that computer to jailbreak a phone. You may have a bad hosts file on the computer because of that. There are many reasons, but generally those are the main ones. According to this http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ there are no system outages.

What does that superposed arrow on the airport icon mean?

On one computer I cannot connect to the airport base station as I can with all other Mac's using the same procedure on the same base station network. On the Mac I cannot connect from, a G5 is using OS 10.4.10, the airport strength symbol is not highlighted and there is a vertical highlighted arrow superposed on the airport symbol. What does that superposed arrow on the airport icon mean?

SteveCC, Welcome to the discussion area!
I believe that you are seeing the icon indicating you G5 is acting as a base station. On that G5 open System Preferences->Sharing->Internet and stop Internet sharing.
