Do I need trend smart surfing for mac for the macbook pro

do I need trent smart surfing for mac for my macbook pro?

That's totally up to you. If you have the need to restrict the web sites that can be visited, then a product such as Trend may be worth the cost. If you are only worried about malware from your own surfing, then I consider the price for Trend excessive and unnecessary. The freeware ClamXav and a bit of common sense - about what you download and from where, not falling for scams and fakes that ask you to provide personal information, and in keeping your operating system up to date - should be sufficient.

Do I need antivirus software with MS Office for Mac on my Macbook Pro?

I am brand new to a Mac and just recently bought a MacBook Pro. I also purchased MS Office 2011 for Mac and have installed it. I've heard you don't need anitvirus for a Mac but I didn't know if having MS Office installed on my Mac made the circumstance any different. Any help if appreciated.

No. Since Office for Mac runs under OS X and not Windows, no antu-virus software is needed.

You can't open the application "MFI_Simulator.exe" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office for Mac 2011 on MacBook Pro 13''.

You can’t open the application “MFI_Simulator.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office 2011 on my MacBook Pro, OS X, 10.9.1.

Your Office 2011, though a Microsoft product, is designed to work with OSX the Mac operating system. Any program/application ending .exe is an executable program for Windows. It will only work in Windows and is not part of or openable with Microsoft Office.
the application you want to open needs Windows - you have a couple of alternatives:
Open it on a Windows PC
Install a valid version of Windows via Bootcamp (or Parallels or VM Fusion) which will allow you to boot your Mac into Windows where it will function like a Windows PC and you can use it to run the application.
See if the manufacturers of MFI_Simulator have a Mac version available.
Please note that if you follow the second option, then you will need to purchase a copy of Windows (if you do not have one already). BootCamp is free (part of OSX) but Parallels and VM Fusion cost too. I see quite a few posts from people who buy Parallels and try to run the program under Parallels - this doesn't work - you need to install Windows as well.
Hope this helps.

How do I download Office for Mac onto my MacBook Pro?

Just downloaded Office for Mac 2011 and having trouble installing it. Any suggestions?

Hi fhough,
welcome to the apple discussions community.
You downloaded the wrong office version.
Here you can download the right version, but keep in mind that you need a license key as well, to activate this version longer than 30 days.
Best,

Best Anti-virus for Mac partition on MacBook Pro?

I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X, and through Bootcamp, I have Windows XP Pro.
For the Mac partition, what AV do you recommend?
I'm looking for an AV that has good detection rate and ability to scan selected files. Also, it must work with Leopard and not be a resource hog.
BTW, would an AV be enough or do I need Internet Security for Mac? In case of the latter, which ones do you recommend? Thank you!
Please, don't tell me Macs don't need AV's, I'm still getting one

Starting by saying “don't tell me Macs don't need AV's, I'm still getting one ”doesn't encourage us to give you what we think is good advice. The highly respected "Tacit" has written much on these issues. As you seem to already have a decided view, for a reason you don't give, you may discount what he has to say, but it is available at
Macs, viruses, and anti-virus software
There is a MacFixIt leader at
Mac OS X anti-virus software: More trouble than it's worth?
and you can see a short post by Tacit in
Firewall settings issue
I would suggest that you might search in any Mac forum you choose for matters related to AV software, but I suspect that you don't want to read horror stories!

HT3231 Trouble transferring Office for Mac onto new Macbook Pro Retina

I just transferred Office 2011 from my old MacBookPro to a new MacBookPro w/ Retina but it says "The Office for Mac installation did not complete successfully because there was a problem with the installer. To fix the issue please reinstall Office for Mac." My original installation of Office was via a disk with an enclosed Product Key. The new MacBook doesn't have a DVD drive. Can I just download a new copy of Office and use the old Product Key or is there another solution??

Yes as Kappy points out or you could make a DMG of the Office DVD and copy that over to your new MBPr. Or you could buy an external DVD drive and it does not have to be an Apple brand DVD drive. Any USB external DVD drive will work. Best to get one that is Tray Load instead of the Slot load that Apple uses.

How long did it take to download for you on the Macbook pro? Mine's only at 1.38 GB and been going for 3 hours.

On a very slow wifi connection at my University, but I'm just wondering for a rough estimate.

what is your advertised download rate from your ISP?
when it completes downloading, Do not install right away!
before you install, make sure you have a time machine copy of your Lion setup saved to an external source. This will be useful.
then you should go the Disk Utility and select the Disk Drive that has Lion on it, Verify and Repair your disk and permissions and then go to applications folder and right click the installer app for ml.
Find a file called InstallESD.dmg and save a copy of it to your computer. This will save you the trouble of having to install it from mas again, should you have to reinstall Mountain Lion or install it on another computer.

Why do you need a expensive MacBook Pro?
Your attending high school and unless everyone else is rich also your likely going to be a target by the more poorer students for theft or damage to the machine.
You could keep it home, but if you need it for class then your exposed again.
Also at that age your not very careful yet, a MacBook Pro is a expensive and easily damaged machine.
Unless your made of money and so are others at your school, I would recommned a low profile, just does the job cheap Windows PC.
If it dies, gets lost, stolen or damaged because of your inexperince handling senstivie electronics then it's no big deal.
You can buy a Mac later on when your sure you have a need for it, currently there isn't much advantage of owning a Mac compared to a PC, they do just about the same things now, one just looks prettier than the other.
Since 95% of the world uses Windows PC's your going to have to install Windows on the Mac in order to keep your skills up there or be unemployed, so it's a extra headache and expense.
good luck

I recently purchased, from the APP store, Lion for use on my MacBook Pro. I wish to upgrade my IMac to Lion also. Do I need to make a 2nd purchase or will the single purchase suffice? If the single purchase will suffice, how do I facilitate ?

I recently purchased, from the APP store, Lion for use on my MacBook Pro. To upgrade my IMac to Lion, need I make an additional purchase? If not, how do I facilitate the IMac upgrade?

No, you do not need to re purchase Lion. You can re download Lion on all your authorized Macs using the same Apple ID.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.

How do i access word for mac on my macbook air?

how do i access word for mac on my macbook air?

Purchase it. Here's one link to an Amazon site to buy one of the many Office configurations:

You would receive Office on a CD, and need a disk drive for your MacBook Air to access so you could download the software.

Windows and Office for Mac in a MacBook Air?

I am planning to buy a new notebook, but I am having trouble deciding between the Macbook Air with 256 GB or 500GB and the MacBook Pro 13''. I am tired of carrying my heavy MacBook Pro 15'' so I want a real shift in portability and I will be running Mail, Safari, Calendar, Contacts, Office for Mac and Windows in Parallels for Explorer, Visio and Project. The issue is that with less money I can buy a MacBook Pro with 750GB but it is heavier and the HD is not solid state. And I am not sure that if I go for the Macbook Air with 256 GB (which is affordable) I will be able to run everything I need.
Someone that may help me decide?

Applications do not take up that much space. Here is a partial list of apps on one of my computers:
And there is more. This Applications folder is about 20gB. There are other files that come with these programs, but they take up much less space.
In sum then, you will be fine with 250 gB, of which you will take away say 30 gB for Parallels and its contents.
