What's this thing called?

I want to buy this "thing", but I've no idea what it's called! I've tried Googling any number of search terms, but no luck:)
It's basically similar to a surge protector, but it retains a few minutes charge, so in the event of a power cut your computer doesn't suddenly switch off, and you've got a few minutes to save your work and shut down properly. I've seen them, so I know they exist, but I just don't know what the proper name for them is.
Anybody know?

1500VA UPS from APC (RS is popular), or also CyberPower.

Can't locate a replacement part - what is this thing called exactly?

Well, my laptop started refusing to accept a charge, and so as the last remaining battery life died out I quick turned it off and handed it to my father in law to diagnose - he's good with computers and electronics. After a few days he narrowed the problem down to what resembles a dc-in board - it wouldn't carry electricity anymore.
Basically, I need to find a replacement for this part so I can start using my laptop again. I've scoured the internet using as many keywords as I can think of, but strangely can only find things that vaguely resemble what I need.
Can anybody help pinpoint what this board is, so I can find a replacement? Thank you so much.
Here is a link to a photo my husband took.

Hello Marissa,
From my research, I have come to the conclusion that the part in the picture is called a "DC-In Board". I believe that this is what it is officially called, but I am not 100% positive. I gave it my best shot considering you didn't specify the exact PowerBook model in your post. I assume that this part differers from model to model. I will be able to be more exact when I know the exact model. I hope this helps and gets you a step closer to being up and running again.

what is the best virus remover and protector for 10.5.8 version of mac os x??? I have this thing called macprotector that keeps popping up and trying to get into my computer. I have heard of a maleware remover...

First you do NOT I repeat DO NOT have a virus, currently there are no virus's for OS X. This means you do not need antivirus software, if you insist on installing antivirus software then I'd recommend ClamXav. You have what is called a Trojan, the primary difference between the two is the user has to give permission for a Trojan to download and install itself. The one you got is going around right now however the good news it's quite easy to get rid of. Please read the following article for instructions.

Bad pop ups and this thing called macsweeper. what us it and how do I get rid of it

I gave bad pop ups and this thing called macsweeper. What is it and how do I get rid of it. Thanks

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

What is this process called in Elements?

I purchased PE9 and inside the box cover they show that you can take two picture

rials on how to use this great feature.
Thank you

Here is another approach to "open" a closed eye for example.
Use the lasso to roughly select the good eye.
Feather the selection a few pixels to soften the edges.
Copy and paste the selection to a new layer.
Flip the layer horizontally.
Use the Move tool with arrow keys to position the copy eye over the closed eye.
If some of the edges are visible (maybe due to not enough feathering) you can remove these with the Eraser tool and a soft brush.
This method of course can be used to copy eyes between pictures. In this case resizing of the eye layer might be needed.
Also it works well for things like camera flash on just one of the subject's eyeglass lens.

WHAT iS THIS EFFECT CALLED? OR HOW CAN I GET THIS EFFECT?

WHAT'S THIS EFFECT CALLED? OR HOW CAN I GET THIS EFFECT?
first of all i don't know what's this kind of photo effect called, i just describe it as bright, clean and w/o lack of contrasts
secondly, i wanna learn how to achieve this effect.....really don't know how
need help here....
btw i don't know where to post this post....so i just start from here =)\

For my part you are welcome, Lisa.
then what about the color tone here? it's very pure and clean, a touch of blue i think, is it from the nature light or from photoshop effect?
The colour tone is (hopefully) a result of the nature of the natural light faithfully reproduced by the high quality of the camera (and film if relevant).
You will get quite different and sometimes rapidly changing tones of colour depending on the natural light; this is different for different times of day, different directions, different weather conditions.
Just to mention a few comparisons, the warm light from the setting sun is quite different from the cool light from the clear bright sky through a (high) window to the north at noon, and the light of the sun can be changed immensely by the huge white (or grey) filter sometimes applied to (parts of) the sky.
You may do many things in Photoshop, but photography is still an art form, not just cheating, at least for some.
I believe one of the real provings of cameras/films is the ability to reproduce the delicate but profoundly different tinges in snow on a clear day.

The loading bar at the bottom of my browser has disappeared and I want to reinstall or reactivate it. How do I do this please and what is this bar called? I use the lastest version of Firefox 3.6.3 and Windows XP.

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".

There is always a blue screen appears after the Apple logo during the booting process. And then everything is back to normal. What is this thing? Is there something wrong with my screen or something?

It looks like a speaker almost. I put my ears next to the speakers in the back of my MB and they sound too tinny to make the "fuller" (I say that relatively) than what I hear. Thanks!

actually, i may have answered my own question. It appears to be a midrange-enhancing speaker...
http://www.123macbook.com/forums/viewtopic.php?=&p=862 is one of the links.
can anyone confirm this?
neat. i never knew that! i was wondering why my speaker volume sounded ever-so-slightly off center to the right (that speaker is to the right of the fan)

What is this phenomenon called??

What is this phenomenon called?
And is there a sollution for?
We recorded a 1080i50 signal that was switched on a Black Magic ATEM switcher on a Atomos recorder.
When importing this file in FCP all seems fine,.. but after exporting it.. these strange pictures appeare at some random moments in the export.
Work around is to preview file in quicktime.. where this phenomenon is viewable... and then take out those frames that are corrupt.

Hello Tom,
We recorded the feed in Apple Prores HD. During recording ( and live switching ) none of these phenomenon were visible. After viewing file in quicktime before editing... or after viewing FCP export in quicktime... it's visible.
We use three cams that are set to 1080i50
2x Sony pmw 350
1x Sony Ex1
Videofeeds are fed to Black Magic Design ATEM switcher. TVS.
2x BM ATEM TVS sends feed to livestream encoder and to Atomos Ninja 2 and Atomos Samurai recorder, recording in Apple Prores HQ. ( all switchers and recorders are tested with several versions of software )
The HDD's with the recordings are transfered to a few relative new Apple iMac's with FCP.
Is this phenomenon also artifacts or is there an other name for it?
I've also a movie posted with example https://vimeo.com/58436983/ and another pic:
When connecting the two recorders to one source switcher... this phenomenon appears in both recordings...at exactely the same time.....
Hope this info helps.... Thanks for helping me!!

What is this Symbol called and what does it mean?

What is this symbol/icon called and what does it mean? It goes away with it's "notification" and I would have no idea where to find it should I need to.
Please. And thank you.

It did come from Apple as I had to deal with this. But in speaking with another "Genius" I was trying to describe the symbol to him and never got an answer.

What is this design called?

I apologize if this has been answered before, but I don't know what to search.
I want to know what a design of this type is called.
example www.hondahookup.com
It has multiple columns that change size with the browser. It also "floats"? as in you can see the boxes slide apart slightly when the browser size is changed.
Specifically, I'm just looking for a term or name to search so that I can figure out how to build my own.
Optimistically, if anyone has a tutorial they can link me to (I run CS4), I would greatly appreciate it, but honestly I can deal with just what the layout is called.
Thanks to all who respond.

Various terms have been used over the years: liquid, fluid and elastic page design spring to mind.
You'll find hundreds of tutorials if you search with those keywords.
This kind of page layout was widely used a decade ago when nested tables, specified with % widths, were all the rage. CSS was in its infancy back then.
Today's CSS driven layouts tend to lend themselves more to fixed width page layout.

What's this thing called?
