Why is the usb input on the left side ?

for the love of god, what exactly stood behind the design of putting the usb input on the left side of the laptop ?
for right handed plugging in their mouse, the cord has to go all the way around to reach the right side.

There is a port next to the modem connection on the back right side. You knew that. wow no big deal. I thought there were too few USB ports but there are plenty. How many usb devices does one need to plug in simultaneously?

I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?

- Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then try to factory settings/new iPod to rule out a software problem.
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and broken or cracked plastic.
- Could you have damaged something when you took the iPod apart and replaced the Home button?

Why can´t I wire the offset input in the Write File Function when I use datalog files ?

Hi !
I have a datalog file, in which I save variant data several times in diferents VIs, I runs these randomly, and I would like rewrite only a part of the file, but I can´t wire the offset input in the Write File function to indicates the begins and save the data in the point that I want.
I need your help thanks.

Second Write in a datalog file.vi ‏19 KB

Hello.
I THINK that the reason why the offset input is disabled when you are working with datalog files is that you do not know how many bytes each entry of the data structure will ocupy.
When you have a binary file where you store, for example, an array of double precision floating-point numbers, you know that each number ocupies 8 bytes, so you know that when you want to read the 21st number of the array you need to skip the first 160 bytes (20 numbers x 8 bytes/number).
However, with datalog files you can store very diverse data structure, usually including strings, like in your case, which means that you do not know how many bytes to skip to be able to read or write to some particular variable of your data structure.
If what you want to do is to not overwrite the contents of an existing file, but to append to it, what you probably will have to do is read the whole contents, append to the data in your program, and write it all again.
Hope this helps,
Alejandro

Why does my nook open iphoto when i plug it in the usb port on the back of my imac running 10.6.8

I have downloaded Adobe Digital Editions and downloaded Overdrive from the public library. When I plug the Nook eReader in the USB port in the back of the iMac, iPhoto opens immediately. I know this is not a forum for Nook eReaders, but I have to start somewhere and figured since iPhoto is opening automatically, maybe someone can give me a clue.
thank you,

Most likely, because your Mac and iPhoto think that you have connected a camera or mass storage device that has images on it.
Not sure where to go from there, but I would start by looking at the setting in both iPhoto Preferences and Image Capture if I wanted iPhoto to ignore that device.

The USB port on the new keyboards

Hi,
I'd just like to have your opinion about the placement of the USB port on the new mac keyboard. I think it is a pity that they are so far away under the keyboard. It makes them difficult to access. Besides, what if your USB device is a bit large. You cannot plug it in for pure physical reasons.
Another mistake from apple? What do you think?

But I could counter that my wife likes the way the USB port is recessed because her thumb drive fits perfectly doesn't protrude from the keyboard unlike with other keyboards. Since getting this keyboard she hasn't knocked her thumb drive lose and hasn't set her drink on it. And let's be serious - how difficult is it to lift up the keyboard to plug in a device? How onerous is it to buy a little extender if you do find lifting the keyboard such a time wasting task? Okay, I'll tone down the sarcasm
Thanks. Point is, it adds an extra step. Macs should be more user friendly. No, it is not hard to lift the keyboard, but why should we have to when before you just saw the port and attached away?
If you want to complain about design decisions, let's ask a few questions that might be more serious? Why is the power button hidden on back in stead of conveniently in front? Why isn't there at least a visual cue telling is where to insert a disc? Why isn't there a way to vertically adjust the display? Why are all the ports on back? Wouldn't it be convenient to have at least one USB port in front? Where is the little LED that pulses to let us know the computer is asleep?
Well, this thread wasn't directed at the new iMac's other design quirks, but since you bring it up.
1) Yes, that power button in the back left me scratching my head. I'm used to it now, but it is another good example of form over function.
2) I insterted a disc backwards the first time, silly me.
3) It is so big, why do you need to vertically adjust it?
4) Ports on the front would make things easier, yet. And you wouldn't have to lift the keyboard But it would interfere with the clean appearance.
5) I miss that LED too....

My kid just got an iPod 5th gen (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line and lightning symbol. No other response at all.

Sorry about the long title.....its my first post.
My kid just got a brand new iPod 5th generation (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line on left and lightning symbol below. There is no other response at all no matter what I do, including holding both buttons down for extended period. My other kid got one and it works perfectly.....I have interchanged usb cables ports etc. but still no response....I would really appreciate any help.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem with the iPod. This is because as you said the same cable works with another iPod.

When i plug in the usb guitar cable the audio in my headphones goes away

when i input the guitar to usb interface it asks to connect but calls it a headphone. it was working but now the sound doesnt come out of the computer or headphones

Go to GB's audio prefs and make sure that your interface is set as the audio input but the internal audio is set as the audio output.

My problem is that one of the USB ports and the device does not detect this and inactive but can not find how to reactivate.Help me please! greetings thanks!

Hello good evening, I have a MacBook Pro and my problem is that one of the USB ports and the device does not detect this and inactive but can not find how to reactivate.
Help me please! greetings thanks!

Do you have the Firefox new tab page but the actual sites are missing, or do you have some other page?
If you have some different page, try the quick fix in Fred McD's reply.
If the sites are missing, did you use the Reset feature? That will clear the storage associated with the new tab page. I'm not sure it's possible to recover from that; you probably need to rebuild your page from scratch as you browse.
For possible future reference, here is how to access the hidden setting for the page to display on new tabs:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
Some gotchas:
''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system.
''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to an unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Any luck?

N78: does the USB cable recharge the phone when co...

Hi, does the USB cable recharge the phone when connected?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I just read that the USB cable CA-101 that comes with the N78 supports charging. Why isn't it charging? Should I configure something on the phone?

I have an iMac and also a MacBook. All of a sudden my iMac does not recognise my Canon 500D camera even though I have downloaded 1000s of photographs from it via the USB port. The MacBook recognises the camera immediately. Can anyone help?

Thank you for your reply. I know I can use a card reader however I don't see why I should when importing directly from my camera has worked reliably for years. The process I use is simply connecting the digital output from my camera to the USB port on the iMac, which has previously automatically opened iPhoto ready for the import. Now all of a sudden my iMac does not recognise the camera. However if I connect in the same way to my MacBook then iPhoto opens automatically on the MacBook, recognises the camera and is ready for importing. So whilst I know I can use a reader, or my MacBook I want to use my iMac in the same way that I have for years. I can only assume that the settings on the iMac may have changed, but I cannot verify this.

Can you program a Slave's Node ID or Zone ID using the USB-8476 as the LIN Master?

I am planning on using the USB-8476 LIN interface as the LIN bus Master in an application. The application would require the USB-8476 (Master) to program a Node ID and Zone ID into a slave device that is on the LIN bus. The slave device is a PIC12F1822 mcu + MCP2021 LIN transceiver. After reading through the User/Software Manual for the USB-8476, it does NOT seem possible to assign an ID to a slave device. It seems like you can only communicate with slaves that already have an ID programmed into their memory. The Node/Zone ID terminology is used by our customer and may not conform exactly to the IDs associated with LIN. I am new to the LIN world, so please let me know if you need more information about what I'm trying to accomplish. Can you program a Slave's Node ID or Zone ID using the USB-8476 as the LIN Master?

No need to respond to this topic. The company that builds the slave device has a communications specification that was recently provided to me. I should be able to use the NI USB-8476 and a call to the ncWrite function (NI-CAN Frame API function) to accomplish my goals.

How do I use my ipod in the car without it constantly charging? I have to use a docking cable into the USB port because the 3.5 mm to 3.5mm jack I bought doesn't work on the ipod.

How do I use my ipod in the car without it constantly charging? I have to use a docking cable into the USB port because the 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack I bought doesn't work with the ipod (although it does work with an MP3 player). My ipod is a 5th generation 80GB classic.

I know this is old - but did you ever get this working. Thinking of getting a 780 ti card and I have an older mac with the mini-displayport too.
