What is that little whole next to the Cd/dvd drive in macbook pro?

what is this for?
on the right side of the macbook pro has a Cd/Dvd drive and a little dot. a whole actually. what is that for?

It is bigger than a dot, true, but on my MBP (2011) it's on the right-hand side next to the optical drive, and I have no tiny dot for ejecting the drive with a paperclip! Mine looks like this:

What is that little star next to a ref camera name in the camera menu?

I noticed while working on a 3D project that, for my particular project, there was a * next to the name (top*, front*) of two of the reference cameras when they were selected for viewing. I looked in the doc's and tried changing certain things but it is not clear what exactly that * is indicating. Anybody have a clue?

Just figured it out. It means that there was a rotation applied in that view. If I double click on the view rotation icon in the upper right it resets it to zero and the * goes away.

Getting that little icon next to the web address..

Hey everyone..
Im using Dreamweaver 8, and I was wondering if there is a
tool that allows me to insert a small little icon next to an
internet browsers web address (ex: the little "Y!" to the left of
the address bar, or better yet, the little macromedia "m" on this
page, next to the "
http://...." part. Is there a quick and
dirty way? What should be the specs on the pic?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

It's not really a DW thing, just put your favicon in the root
directory of your website and insert a line like <link
rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
in the <head> section of your webpage.
The pic itself is a 16x16 pixel image saved as favicon.ico. I
think it's only supposed to be 16 color too...

What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on PC or DVD player using MacBook Pro?

What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on a PC or DVD player? I'm using a MacBook Pro since that's the computer that has all the photos (in an album) and music. Thanks.

I would suggest that you post this to the Adobe Encore>Menus & Buttons forum. What you want to do, if I read correctly, is pretty simple. There will probalby be links available to step you though it. I'll look for this there, and start gathering some links.
Good luck,

What is the best external drive for Macbook Pro?

Migration Assistant is not moving files from my Macbook OS X 10.5.8 to My new Macbook Pro just purchased. Apple Support suggested I transfer thru an external drive. They suggested a 1 TB. They said it would be sufficient for migration and afterward for back up and storage of media and pics. What would be the best one for this purpose?
Thank You

Go to OWC and purchase a drive and an enclosure. Put it together yourself. Takes about five minutes and a screwdriver. Or you can purchase one already complete from them if you prefer.

What is that "kernel_task" using 90% of all 8 CPUs on my MacBook Pro ?

Hello
It happens more and more often: suddenly all CPUS almost max out for a "kernel task" which slows down all other tasks to unusability for as long as one hour, sometimes more. Why is that, and how can I avoid it ? The model is a rMBP from mid-2012, last version of Mavericks, 16 GM RAM & 150 GB of free space on the SSD. I'm using mainly Final Cut Pro (X) and Logic Pro (9 and X)
Thank you for any advice

The kernel is using excessive processor cycles. Below are some possible causes for the condition.
Throttling
When it gets high temperature readings from the hardware, or a low-voltage reading from the battery, the kernel may try to compensate by interrupting the processor(s) to slow them down and reduce power consumption. This condition can be due to
a buildup of dust on the logic board
high ambient temperature
a worn-out or faulty battery in a portable
the malfunction of a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, or some other internal component
Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there may be no actual overheating or undervoltage.
If the computer is portable, test with and without the AC adapter connected. If kernel_task hogs the processor only on battery power, the fault is in the battery or the logic board. If it happens only on AC power, charging is causing the machine to heat up. That may be normal on some models. CPU usage should drop when charging is complete.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more thorough hardware testing, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If nothing is wrong with the hardware, then whatever you can do to improve cooling may help.
Installed software
User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. That category includes virtualization software, such as Parallels and VMware, as well as most commercial "anti-virus" products. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility by completely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or starting in safe mode. Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or testing in safe mode may not be as easy as you think.
Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
Sometimes the problem is cleared up by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.
External display
Connecting an external LCD display to some MacBook Pro models while the lid is open may cause this issue. If applicable, test by closing the lid or disconnecting the display. You might get better results with a newer LED display.

Infrared port for the Remote Control. An extra item for you to buy.

What is the little hole next to the headphone jack for?

What is the little hole next to the headphone jack for? Not the SIM card eject on the side. The similar hole near the headphone jack.

The hole on the top is your noise cancellation for phone calls and application VOIPs. It may also be used on other kinds of apps such as memos and video recordings.

Can you give me some reasons about why I need to buy an iPod touch 5.Although I have the iPhone ,iPod nano, iPad ,MacBook pro,I think the iPod touch 5 is so attractive that I can't help buying it at once.If I have it,what I can do with it,can you tell me?

All I can say is that I REALLY like my Touch 4th gen because I have all sorts of capabilities in a small form: e-mail, web browsing, news, weather, books, magazines, etc. etc. Plus lots and lots of apps out there, including so many free ones. I use the Cloud a lot so it's great to have everything sync'd to my MacBookPro (e-mail, Evernote, Pocket, etc.)
It would be easier, though, to do some of this, especially magazines, on the iPad mini, but, again, I love the small size of the Touch.
As for the 5th gen instead of the 4th, the fifth has Siri and the 3D feature in maps, which are great. And I'm sure it's a lot faster in iOS 6 than the 4th gen. And cool colors!
Don't know if this helps . . .

Try download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

On the bottom right of my MacBook Pro there is a solid line about 3/4" long (looks like it could be a download status gauge). Any idea what that is?

Unfortunately you screen shot is not showing. There is a bug in the forum software that sometime will prohibit images from appearing. This may be one of those occasions.
Browsers such as Safari and Firefox do have small windows that will show downloads which will permit you to monitor the progress. Without actually seeing what you are referring to, I cannot give you a definitive answer.
Ciao.
