This reissue of Understanding Media marks the thirtieth anniversary (1964-1994) of Marshall McLuhan's classic expose on the state of the then emerging phenomenon of mass media. Terms and phrases such as 'the global village' and 'the medium is the message' are now part of the lexicon, and McLuhan's theories continue to challenge our. A CNAME or canonical name record is the DNS equivalent to a Windows shortcut or an Apple Mac alias. A CNAME record is an alias for an Address (A) record that maps an IP address to the target server. If, for example, your domain is contoso.com, you create a CNAME record for autodiscover.contoso.com. Note: Many pre-HTTP/1.1 user agents do not understand the 303 status. When interoperability with such clients is a concern, the 302 status code may be used instead, since most user agents react to a 302 response as described here for 303. 10.3.5 304 Not Modified.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that your MacBook Air is starting up to a folder with a question mark. Having your MacBook Air power on as expected is important, and I would be happy to help.
The folder with a question mark means your Mac couldn't find a local or network-based startup disk. The next step would be to try connecting your MacBook Air to a different Wi-Fi network, then attempting to select your startup disk in macOS Recovery following the steps here:
If a flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac - Apple Support
Specifically, use this section: 1.1 understanding exponentsmr. mac

If your Mac doesn't start up

If your Mac starts up to a flashing question mark, but then doesn't continue starting up, try these steps.

  1. Turn off your Mac by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds.
  2. Press the power button once to turn your Mac back on. Immediately press and hold the Command and R keys on your keyboard to start your Mac from macOS Recovery. Keep these two keys held down until you see an Apple logo or globe.
  3. If prompted, select a Wi-Fi network to connect to the Internet as part of startup.
  4. After the macOS Utilities window appears, choose Startup Disk from the Apple menu.
  5. Select your startup disk, then click Restart.

If you don't see your startup disk in the Startup Disk window, close the window and try the next sections of this article.


If you encounter the -2100F error again when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, contact Apple via the link below:

Take care!

1.1 Understanding Exponentsmr. Mac's Page Publishing

The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication.

In 82 the '2' says to use 8 twice in a multiplication,
so 82 = 8 × 8 = 64

Understanding

In words: 82 could be called '8 to the power 2' or '8 to the second power', or simply '8 squared'

Exponents are also called Powers or Indices.

Some more examples:

Example: 53 = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125

  • In words: 53 could be called '5 to the third power', '5 to the power 3' or simply '5 cubed'

Example: 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16

  • In words: 24 could be called '2 to the fourth power' or '2 to the power 4' or simply '2 to the 4th'

Exponents make it easier to write and use many multiplications

Example: 96 is easier to write and read than 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 × 9 × 9

You can multiply any number by itself as many times as you want using exponents.

Try here:

In General

So in general:

an tells you to multiply a by itself,
so there are n of those a's:

Another Way of Writing It

Sometimes people use the ^ symbol (above the 6 on your keyboard), as it is easy to type.

Example: 2^4 is the same as 24

  • 2^4 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16

Negative Exponents

Negative? What could be the opposite of multiplying? Dividing!

So we divide by the number each time, which is the same as multiplying by 1number

We can continue on like this:

Example: 5-3 = 15 × 15 × 15 = 0.008

But it is often easier to do it this way:

5-3 could also be calculated like:

15 × 5 × 5 = 153 = 1125 = 0.008

Negative? Flip the Positive!

That last example showed an easier way to handle negative exponents:

  • Calculate the positive exponent (an)
  • Then take the Reciprocal (i.e. 1/an)

More Examples:

Negative ExponentReciprocal of
Positive Exponent
Answer
4-2 = 1 / 42 = 1/16 = 0.0625
10-3 = 1 / 103 = 1/1,000 = 0.001
(-2)-3 = 1 / (-2)3 = 1/(-8) = -0.125

What if the Exponent is 1, or 0?

1If the exponent is 1, then you just have the number itself (example 91 = 9)
0If the exponent is 0, then you get 1 (example 90 = 1)
But what about 00 ? It could be either 1 or 0, and so people say it is 'indeterminate'.

It All Makes Sense

If you look at that table, you will see that positive, zero or negative exponents are really part of the same (fairly simple) pattern:

Example: Powers of 5
.. etc..
525 × 525
5155
5011
5-1150.2
5-215 × 150.04
.. etc..

Be Careful About Grouping

To avoid confusion, use parentheses () in cases like this:

With () :(-2)2 = (-2) × (-2) = 4
Without () :-22 = -(22) = - (2 × 2) = -4
