OS X

Let’s start with the “native” for iOS and iTunes environment – operating system OS X.

So, if iPhone does not want to trust your Mac, you can try to clear the contents of the special system catalog Lockdown. Disable iOS-device from the computer, perform the shortcut [cmd] + [shift] + [G] and go at /var/db/lockdown/. You will see one or more (depending on the number of synchronized devices) files-certificates, which you need to delete.

After that connect your iPhone and confirm the confidence to the device. Now the smartphone should be determined by computer.

Windows

If you have a computer with operating system Windows, then the procedure remains the same. The only difference here, you need to display hidden files and folders.

Open Control Panel from the “Start” menu and go to the section “Folder” where the tab “View” choose the option of the same name. As for the address, it is different for different versions of Windows.

• Windows XP: C: \ Documents and Settings \ All Users \ Application Data \ Apple \ Lockdown
• Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10: C: \ ProgramData \ Apple \ Lockdown

If the above-described manipulation did not solve the problem for Windows there is a more sophisticated way.

1. Open “Device Manager”, located in Control Panel in Windows 7 and in “System” in Windows XP.
2. Right click on the line with the desired Apple’s device, select the item “Update Driver” from the context menu, then “Browse my computer for driver software” and “Select driver from a list of device drivers”.
3. Click on “Have Disk” (if it is not available, you can select the category of “Mobile” or “Mass Storage Device” and click the “Next” button, then the button will be displayed).
4. In “Install from Disk” dialog box, click on the button “Browse”.
5. Go to C: \ Program Files \ Common Files \ Apple \ Mobile Device Support \ Drivers.
6. Select the file usbaapl (64-bit editions of Windows, it is called usbaapl64) and click “Open”. If the folder does not exist or it does not contain the file you want, look for it in the directory C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Common Files \ Apple \ Mobile Device Support \ Drivers
7. Click on “OK” button in “Install from Disk” dialog box.
8. The final touch – click on “Next” button and complete the driver installation procedure. Now you can open iTunes to check the operation of the device.

Hopefully these tips will help your computer to see iPhone.

More than impressive novelty presented engineers from the University of Michigan. American developers have created a surprisingly tiny computer. It’s size – 1 cubic millimeter.

This is the miniature computing device on the planet. “Name” record holder gave simple – Michigan Micro Mote. Or simply M3.
The platform completely autonomous. The Energy it receives through the solar cells (works with any source of light – even artificial.
In standby mode, the invention requires 2 nA. The panels generate about 20 nV.

The authors of the project managed to put in all the necessary modules M3: battery, memory, CPU, timer, Wi-Fi, temperature and pressure sensors (plus many others).

There are still a voltage regulator and an appropriate controller.

Arranged Michigan Micro Mote’s pretty simple. Each component is on its own layer. Between themselves, they are “connected” protocol MBus. The design allows you to add additional blocks.

Needed to process the information received from the computer sensors. Then the “issues” effect with a built-in radio (at a distance of up to 2 m).

It is assumed that the M3 is an ideal basis for the Internet of Things. Dimensions suitable.

In the world there is not only a Raspberry Pi. Of course, single-board computer for $ 35 – the best solution for enthusiasts (in terms of price and performance). But for some projects require a more powerful base. The proposed expansion of the list of possibilities: from a fast CPU to a decent graphics.

Miniature Gizmo 2 created just for this

199 USD it ensures adequate characteristics (such as CPU x86).

The novelty is created on the basis of a 64-bit chip AMD GX-210HA. Operating platform with 1 GHz. This allows you to install any OS as a distribution Linux, Windows Embedded 8 or system Minoca.

However, the main difference from the Raspberry Pi in the other. The device is equipped with a major in graphic core Radeon HD 8210E with full support technology OpenCL 1.2, OpenGL 4.2 and DirectX 11.1.

Gizmo is still equipped with a connector 2 mSATA / mini PCIe. Useful and necessary “bonus”.

Also “on board” device contains 1 GB of RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, Card slot microSD, HDMI, two USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0.

Raspberry Pi – a popular single-board computer – a good thing. If you want to build a robot to collect or laptop. But for the “Internet of Things”, he is unlikely to do. Too large.

Said topic requires a different level of compactness. In other “smart” light bulbs, sockets and other miracles become unimaginably huge.

Novelty called Onion Omega effectively solves the problem

Platform dimensions – 28 by 52 mm. However, it boasts a very decent performance.

The project – a chip with a clock speed of 400 MHz. In addition there are 64 MB of RAM and 16 GB of permanent pamyati.Plyus 16-port GPIO, as well as the module Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n.

Powered Onion Omega operating system OpenWRT Linux. Which makes it possible to program the board using popular languages like Lua, Node.js, Ruby, Python, PHP and many others.

Moreover, there is an additional plug-in. Adding power system, LED type RGB, USB ports and other features. All of the above makes life easier for engineers. At times accelerates the process of prototyping.

Sounds interesting. Onion Omega creators promise in the near future to launch a campaign to raise funds on Kickstarter. For serial production.

New Japanese company Vaio, which was converted former business Sony to produce PC, introduced the first two computers under this brand.

Company Vaio announced two of its first product – a laptop-transformer Vaio Z and tablet Vaio Z Canvas (both based on Windows 8).

Vaio Z in standard mode is a laptop with a screen of 13.3 inches. It can be converted to the tablet (the keyboard hide inside) – due to the fact that the screen is not directly attached to the body, as in other notebook PCs, and to the leg. The third mode – this is the console when the screen turns in the opposite direction. The package will include a stylus.

Depending on the configuration, the model will be offered with a 2-core Intel Core fifth generation i5-5257U (base frequency of 2.7 GHz frequency mode Turbo Boost – 3,1 GHz) or Core i7-5557U (base frequency of 3.1 GHz frequency mode Turbo Boost – 3,4 GHz). The amount of RAM is 8 or 16 GB. The maximum capacity of SSD-drive – 512 GB. Display resolution – 2560 x 1440 pixels.

With a thickness of 16.8 mm and a weight of 1.34 kg of the computer in the case of aluminum and carbon fiber will be able to work up to 15.5 hours on a fully charged battery.

Tablet Vaio Z Canvas will be offered with a wireless keyboard. The package, as is the case with the new Vaio Z, will also include a stylus. The tablet has a leg that allows to put it on a flat surface at an angle. Most Vaio Z Canvas resembles Microsoft Surface 3, except that 3 Surface and wireless keyboard is attached to the plate by a magnet.

Vaio Z Canvas features a 12-inch display (as Surface 3) with a resolution of 2560 x 1704 pixels (in Surface 3 is slightly lower – 2160 x 1440 pixels) and a processor Intel Core i7 (model not specified). RAM is 8 or 16 GB, depending on configuration. Capacity SSD – 256GB.

Pre-order the Vaio Z company in its home market has opened up, the cost of new items in the base configuration – 190 thousand. Yen (about i100 thousand). Vaio Z Canvas will be on sale in Japan in May 2015 at a price of 200 thousand. Yen for the basic configuration (about i105 thousand). About sales in other countries are not reported.

Recall that in early 2014 Sony sold its computer business to the Japanese investment fund Japan Industrial Partners for approximately $ 394-492 million. The brand was created Vaio Sony, the first computer under such trademarks released in 1996

Another interesting device in the world has increased. What are we talking about? Was presented quite extraordinary keyboard. Called novelty OneBoard Pro +.

From the mind – quite an ordinary portable gadget with mechanical keys. Is that unusual design. But hidden inside the housing powerful computer system based on Android 4.4.

If we talk about the technical side of things, the creators have equipped OneBoard Pro + good 4-core processor Rockchip. Powered chip with a clock speed of 1.8 GHz.

OneBoard Pro +: compact keyboard with a computer inside There is also a solid state drive of 16 GB RAM module 2 GB and a slot for SD (if it seems that the storage space is too small).

Exactly two usage scenarios. The first – the traditional keyboard mode. It’s all easy and convenient. In the presence of even a built-in light.

The second option – “mobile” PCs. In this case, you will need to connect to OneBoard Pro + monitor and mouse.

OneBoard Pro +: compact keyboard with a computer inside sounds interesting. True ruthless price – 289 US dollars.

Usually components from old computers are considered useless junk and simply discarded. But there are times when an old piece turns into a real rarity.

So it was in this case, in the US, where it was found the item from EDSAC (Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Computer) – the computer, which was built at Cambridge University (UK) in 1949. The creation of this computational monster that included 3,000 vacuum tubes, it took almost two years. The machine is 20 square meters. meters, consume 12 kW and has a high capacity for the time 15 000 operations per second. It consisted of 12 uprights 14 in each chassis. EDSAC functioned until 1953, when it was replaced by a more advanced EDSAC-2.

EDSAC was the world’s first computer with a Stored Program. Engineers are no longer required to engage a plurality of switching toggle switches and wires in order to get the computer to make the necessary calculations. This greatly simplified operation, which allowed the use EDSAC glad to solve a scientific question.

However, after the creation of a more perfect device obsolete computers simply dismantled for parts and sold them at auction, which is called “for parts”. Then no one could imagine that within a few decades, computers achieved a fantastic performance and the first devices will be remembered as the unique museum exhibits.

So find some Robert Little of Pennsylvania, USA is truly unique. In 1969, he received it from the chassis EDSAC from the hands of the scientist Robert Clark, who bought one of the racks of computers with the intention to turn it into a bookshelf. For several decades, the item lying in the barn Little, rust, and generally lost “marketability.” But all this is fixable.

Finding yourself in a long-forgotten curiosity, Little contacted a group of scientists who are now engaged in the restoration of EDSAC, also by coincidence detection circuit half a century ago. So the reconstruction of the famous computer will be used one historical detail.

Apple has not updated its most “junior” Mac computer with October 2012 , when he was presented the first-generation iPad mini. It was expected that the new representative of the family of Mac mini buyers will be able to see the fall of last year, but it never happened. In Cupertino decided to wait for updates on this computer, and until recently, fans of this line of devices had to wrestle, and when Apple will equip the Mac mini processor Intel Haswell, which the company already uses in their laptops.

Yesterday, one of Apple retailers in Belgium unwittingly (or perhaps intentionally) shed light on this mystery. On his website Computerstore.be suddenly appeared Mac mini with Intel Haswell chips in variations Core i5 and Core i7. Store representatives said portal MacRumors, that information came “from Apple or trusted sources,” and the emergence of computer sales are expected by the end of February. 

Description novelties include key specifications: Processor Haswell, integrated graphics Iris, as well as the new standard Wi-Fi 802.11ac. In addition, a new generation Mac mini can be equipped with a solid state drive instead of a standard HDD, as well as port Thunderbolt 2. CPU frequency, memory and storage as yet unknown.

Since Apple has not sent out invitations to your next event, we can assume that this time the Mac mini will do without official presentation. Computer just will appear in the online store corporations together with the relevant press release. Apple has already done so with the fourth generation iPad 128GB, monobloc iMac and some other products.

Earlier leaks from international retailers company proved to be very effective. For example, in this way we were able to determine the date that sales of the new Mac Pro .

On the other hand, Apple is unable to cope with the deficit “Proshek” for several months whether it will pull another line of computers? Unlikely Corporation will take such a risk.
