What is Firewire? What does it do? How do I get it to work on my MacPro?  Do I purchase it?

Firewire is a serial connector technology that Apple incorporated in its 1999 and later machines that can be adapted to Thunderbolt, Express/34, and PCMCIA.   It can't be adapted to USB.   Many hard drives have Parallel ATA to Firewire and Serial ATA to Firewire adapters.   Firewire in its 4 pin configuration was popular on Sony devices such as Camcorders in the iLink connector format.   Apple started with the 6 pin variety that has its own power.  In 2003 it started including Firewire 800 in the 9 pin format and shifted to all Firewire 800 until Thunderbolt became standard.  A few MacBook, iMac, iBook, and Powerbook models didn't have it at all.
Mac Pro is a desktop computer from Apple.  MacBook Pro is a notebook computer.  Not knowing your computer's age, doesn't help us determine how to adapt it.  Go to your System Profiler and look for Mac Pro x,y or MacBook Pro x,y and tell us which you see, and what x,y values you see.

  • How do you get mod_perl to work with the bundled apache2?

    I have read a few reports on how to get DBD perl working and some people talk about compiling apache 2 and mod_perl, but I want the standard apache2 which is running smoothly with my php install to handle perl too.
    Can someon give me a list of commands and steps to do and run to get this working? I know php, a bit of C have compiled before but allways forget how it is done. I have no problems editing httpd.confs or php.inis so probably perl's configs and configure files won't be a problem. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the thought etresoft. I did not find it in the httpd.conf as an so module to be enabled, so I presumed it was nowhere to be found. But it seems it is in the /usr/libexec/apache2 folder just like all the other modules, find found it .
    I just added this to my httpd.conf and now it is working:
    LoadModule perl_module libexec/apache2/mod_perl.so
    Alias /perl/ /Library/WebServer/Documents/perl/
      <Location /perl/>
          SetHandler perl-script
          PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
          PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
          Options +ExecCGI
          Order allow,deny
          Allow from all
      </Location>
    I was stuck mentally it seems. Thanks for the bump.

  • When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen

    When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen. new to ipad so do not know much. Anybody know.p

    As long as the app remains in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, or via the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    Similarly ibooks can be re-downloaded, and depending upon what country that you are in then music, films and tv shows may also be re-downloadable (if they remain available in the store).

  • I have a new Macbook pro, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop.

    I have a new Macbookbook, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop. Also i am thinking once the video is done  the fan should be slowing down and getting quiet on its own.

    Your fan(s) will run at high speed (i.e., loudly) while video is playing, and you can't get around that.
    If your fans are not slowing down within 2-4 minutes after CPU- and/or GPU-intensive usage ends, and the application that was showing the video is still running, Quit that application. (In fact, if you're accustomed to Windows, you may not realize that simply closing a Mac application's window does not quit the application. You still need to use the Quit command in the application-name menu. There will always be a bright dot beside or below the application icon in your Dock for each application that is open.) Quit the ones you aren't using, and see whether that allows the fans to slow down without restarting the machine. If that doesn't do the trick, reset the SMC:

    How do you get PSE12 to stop opening the keyword menu at the top of the screen when you want to isolate tagged photos?????????????
    it takes up 1/4 of the screen. This is so stupid. PSE10 had it done right, just a click box and boom all the photos tagged would be there!
    This makes NO sense the way it is done now.
    How do you turn it off, please . I am ready to send this back to amazon and go back to 10.

  • Pages for ipad2 - how do you get text to wrap around the contours of a picture? Not the simple square wrap, but I saw text following the contours of a bike wheel at the Apple store demo

    Pages for ipad2 - how do you get text to wrap around the contours of a picture?  Not the simple square wrap, but I saw text following the contours of a picture of a bike wheel at the Apple store demo

    Sjazbec,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I did read the help and went through the tutorial - the butterfly text wrap (and the wrap around the curved contour of the bicycle wheel at the Apple store) is the reason I am asking this question.  I don't know how to use one of my own pictures and tell Pages what contour to wrap around.  Is there some additional image editing software that I need to "creatively crop" one of my own pictures, so that Pages will be able to wrap around that contour?
    Thanks / Danke!!

  • How can you get an applet to obey the CSS z-index attribute?

    How can you get an applet to obey the CSS z-index attribute?
    I have a DHMTL page with a panel that I want to slide back and forth. But another part of the requirement is to have the panel look like it is sliding under another panel.
    The problem is that an applet is on the panel that slides. When the sliding panel move under the stationary panel the applet does not go under the stationary panel, but the reset of the sliding panel does render looking like it is sliding under.
    See below.

    --------------------------------------------------------Where @ is the applet. Notice how the applet is on top of the ^ but the panel under it, ^, is under like it should be. All the panels are 1x1 tables with a border. So how can I get the applet on the drawing shown with # and * to follow the rendering of the z-index of 2?
