Internet Security when trading with online broker using airport

I like to day trade in my free time. I also travel a lot since I am active duty US military. Sometimes I'll be sitting in a hotel or a wi-fi spot trading using safari or a platform(app) and I have growing concerns for safety and security.
I am using a Macbook Pro I purchased in 2009, I always keep it updated. Is there anything else I should/could do to ensure the security and privacy of my accounts while using public wi-fi such as hotels and libraries. Even if I am trading from home!
Is the manufacturer firewall sufficient to prevent hacking?
I understand there's only so much I can do, but I would like to do as much as possible to ensure the security of my information such as passwords and account information.
I will be extremely grateful for any help!!! Thanks for reading friends

As long as your trading sessions are encrypted (verified by the https in the URL and the lock icon at the top right of the Safari window or tab you're in), you're safe. But that doesn't mean the Wi-Fi session is secure. Even so, unless somebody has the means to decrypt your transaction, they can't get any information during your session.

Hi,
This is currently not supported by iOS for any devices. Rumour is that iOS 5 will finally add this function, until then I'm afraid you are stuck with the good old cable.

Giant print font from internet programs when printing with Firefox

When printing from any internet application when I use the print hot link or the printer from the tool bar the print is GIGANTIC. A single page prints on 4 pages. I logged in to Internet Explorer and I do not have this problem from that browser. I went to about:config and reset the printer and still the same problem. I have printed from maps.google.com, from my online banking and credit card apps. When printing from email and printing .pds' no problem. When print Word documents, no problem. Something changed in Firefox and I can't find it for the life of and I am wasting a lot of paper. Please advise.

Please check you are logged in, and try again.

my connection to internet is via ADSL with account name and password login. i was able to set up the PPPoE settings of my new macbook properly to connect to the internet via an Ethernet cable. however, when i was trying to set up the airport extreme base station, the amber light was on all the time and has been giving me the error message "no connection to internet" - can someone pls help?

btam, Welcome to the discussion area!
The first thing to do is DISABLE PPPoE on your Mac. Since your AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) will be handling PPPoE, your Mac doesn't need to do it.
Next configure the AEBS to connect to your ISP using PPPoE. You can see where to enter the PPPoE information by looking at Page 33 in the "Designing AirPort Networks" (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/DesigningAirPortNetworks.pdf).

Hello there hastibahreini,
It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

Should I install the Kaspersky Internet Security Software included with the purchase of a new MacBook Air, OS X.

Should I install the Kaspersky Internet Software included free with the purchase of a new MacBook Air OS X?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You mustn't. Apart from the fact that OS X doesn't need an antivirus (OS X has got its own security systems), commercial antiviruses like Kaspersky can do more harm than something good for your Mac. See > http://www.reedcorner.net/mmg
If you want to install an antivirus, install Sophos or ClamXav

Some important features of Kaspersky Internet security wont work with the latest edition of Firefox, what can be done?

Plug-ins were disabled

There usually is a delay of a few weeks before Kaspersky updates its Firefox add-ons for a new version.
Have you installed patch "I" which added support for Firefox 12 (released May 4th)? Not sure whether that helps with Firefox 13. More information: [http://support.kaspersky.com/kis2012/tech?qid=208286519 Kaspersky Internet Security 2012: patch I for version 12.0.0.374].

Can I create a unique subnetwork when extending a wireless network using Airport Extreme?

My office building has an Airport Extreme to provide wifi to our individual suites. I would like to create a sub-network using my Airport Extreme for my suite only that uses the wifi signal from our office building and provides internet to the computers (both wired and wireless) in my suite but have it protected so that other suites in my building can't see my computers. Is this possible and how do I do it? I have currently set up my Airport Extreme in wifi-mode "extending a previous wireless network" and have the router with its unique router name. But once I extended the wireless network, I could not find the network name of my router, only the office name (the one I was extending). The computers connected via ethernet to my Airport have internet access but none of my wireless computers see my airport name, it sees the office building network name. I'm assuming they are connecting to my Airport since the signal level is much higher than before and it appears that my Airport is rebroadcasting the network name of my office building. Is there a way to have my Airport broadcast its unique identifier for wifi, still connect to the internet via wifi signal to the Office building airport and maintain segregation between my computers and the rest of my office building?
Also, when I use the Airport Utility on my Iphone, I see the internet -> the office airport extreme -> and then 2 different base stations connected in a Y. Mine and my neighbors (who is probably doing the same thing as I am). But there is a dotted line to my base station, does that mean I'm connected to the internet via my neighbor's airport?
Any thoughts?

It is not possible to configure a single Apple AirPort router in this manner using wireless only, but it would be possible to do this with a single AirPort if you connect your AirPort Extreme to the "main" router using a wired Ethernet connection.
As for wireless only....you could probably do what you want by using two Apple routers....an AirPort Express to join the wireless network and provide an Ethernet signal to the AirPort Extreme's WAN port. Then the AirPort Extreme could then be configured to provide a separate network using a different subnet.
Users on the "main" network would not be able to "see" any devices on your "private" network and vice versa.
I use the two router set up all the time at hotels that only provide a wireless signal. The first Express "joins" the wireless network and feeds an Ethernet signal to the second AirPort which is configured to "create a wireless network" in router mode.
This way, I can connect multiple devices to my "private" network, but only pay the hotel for one connection since the hotel router only "sees" the AirPort Express that joins the network.

Networking macbook with Desktop PC using airport??

Ok well at the moment I have an pc running on windows(with a dialup net connection) and im looking at buying a macbook and i was wondering if i buy a wireless PCI (desktop) adaptor here: http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/4471682d096f293a2740c0a87f9c06e6/Pr oduct/View/XH6312
and put that into my current PC and create a network and then with my new macbook use airport to detect the network.
Would that allow me to connect to the internet through my macbook when im at home?

Yes, using ICS on the PC.
Make sure you have Windows ICS set up properly:

How do I log off my DSL/Firefox Internet connection when it is not in use?

With my old dialup/Firefox Internet connection, I could return to the provider's home screen and click on a button to log off. I do not want to be connected to the Internet 24/7, but want to log off when I am not using the service. The provider says I should unplug the incoming cable, but if I do it this way several times a day, it won't be long before I need a new cable. Please tell me that there is a better way.

Getting unknown error when printing with latest version(using HP Laserjet 1200). I can't print at all using this version. Able to print previously.

I ceased to be able to print when the latest version of FireFox was
downloaded. I can print from the same websites using I. E.
My printer is a HP Laserjet 1200 series. I only get the error(an unknown error occurred while printing) when trying to print through FireFox. I can print email fine and any other instance as long as I'm not going through FireFox.

Hello Josh,
We are using a couple of EFI (Fiery) controllers with our Canon copiers and I have been told by Canon support that we need to be using the MacTel (Universal Binary) versions of drivers for Leopard. Luckily for us we have mostly new models of RIPs and the UB drivers exist for these models, but I know that they are not available for all models, which I believe includes your X3e.
To determine if you have a driver or RIP issue, you could save the file as either PS or PDF and then use the EFI utilities, such as Command Workstation, to import the file to the RIP (select Process and Hold) and then see if you can print your multiple copies that way. If that works then you know that the RIP is probably okay.
The next test would be to create a generic PS queue to the X3e and print using this queue. If this works then you can narrow your issue down to the driver.

Screensaver crashing when made with Quartz Composer using Asynchronous Mode?

Hi all, I made a screensaver using video in Quartz Composer but the playback was choppy. I went into settings and used Asynchronous Mode, which sorted this out. It was running fine at first. Runs well in viewer and runs when I select test screensaver. I powered the mac up this morning and any of the screensavers using Asynchronous Mode they start for a second and then the screensaver stops suddenly. Again they work fine whilst test screensaver button is used and in the QC viewer but suddenly not when I use hot corners or when the Screensaver activates???
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

I downloaded his pre-built version and fiddled with it a bit, putting in a .mov file. The saver crashed System Prefs. Discovered that the quartz composition would only open in QT7, not QTX. I tried a quartz composition that did not have a movie in it, and that worked as a screen saver. I tried the movie saver, replaced the movie with one that did open in QTX, which would work in the Finder and QuickLook, although it ran only in QT7 (as do all my old qtz compostions), but it still crashed System Prefs. Unfortunately I haven't installed Developer Tools for Snow Leopard, so don't know if you could get it to work using the latest iteration of Quartz Composer and rebuilding the composition there--don't even know if there is a new Quartz Composer.
I suspect there is a problem between 32bit and 64bit things, although exactly what that might be I don't know, since the straight qtz compositions, without a movie, seem to work in screen saver mode.
Using the QT7 only movie produced a slightly different crash report than using the QTX compatible movie. I have seen other reports of non-Apple screen savers that will not run in Snow Leopard, with the statement that the savers must be re-compiled to work in 64bit. My quess is that really simple quartz compositions use the quartz engine available in Snow Leopard, and thus even though built with a 32bit Quartz Composer do run as 64bit, by calling only Snow Leopard functions, and thus will work, but that the movie saver has something inherently 32bit in it and so causes a conflict.

Error when extraction with generic datasource using function model

Hi,experts,When i check the error log in bw side for one egeneric datasource from R/3 side , it shows all the data from the datasource has been extracted ,and the error lies in the data selection .But when I use the Tcode RSA3 to check the datasource to check the functionality of selection ,its seems ok .
Could and I give me some clue ?

Hi,
Seems function module checks the selection in the infopackage while loading the data. Could you check if there is any selection which is expected but not given in the infopackge or incorrectly given.
Hope this helps.

Problems with adjusting volume using Airport Express - please help!

I have set up Airport Express and I can now wirelessly play ITunes through my stereo. However, adjusting the volume is a nightmare. Using the ITunes volume control it gets so loud that the speakers almost blow despite it being on the lowest volume on the volume bar. Making it quieter (by sliding the control minutely to the left) turns the volume to so quiet I cannot hear it! How can I have a normal control of the volume. The volume control on the amplifier does not alter the volume if played via ITunes wirelessly. I have searched for volume preferences but nothing works. Any advice before my neighbours kill me?

I have mine plugged in to Tape In on a Bose Lifestyle console. The volume via the Bose remote works fine as does the iTunes slider, although it has to be said it is a little tricky to fine tune the iTunes volume level from the slider.
If your inputs are correct you should be able to use the volume control on the amp.

I use Firefox to access the internet-but when I go off the internet but don't shut down, then go back on Firefox it won't open because "it is already running". Task Manager doesn't show that it is operating so I can't shut it off. What to do?

It is in the question but to repeat.
1. When I go online I use Mozilla Firefox
2. While I am doing other work, I usually close the internet.
3. If I go back on the internet and click on Mozilla it won't come up, stating that "it is already running".
4. Despite that, when I open Task Manager, it doesn't show that it is running so I can't shut it down or open it.
5. If I log off or shut off the computer, then after I log in or reboot the computer, I can open Mozilla.
Thanks from a Mozilla fan.
