Is there any value in using software to clean the Mac like MacKeeper.  Is there serious need for this?

I am concerned about malware and always had Macafee on my Dell.  When I go into Safari there is an initial delay saying that I am not connected to the internet and then the connection is made.  This is the cause of my concern.

No. What ever you don't download MacKeeper. It will cause you nothing but troubles.
As far as the best tool for malware on the Mac, it is your brain. Since there are no virus on the Mac, AV software only causes problems. So stay away from that. About the only exception is ClanXav. It has the best record of not causing problem. So if you need to test virus get ClamXav.
The only malware out there are Trojans which use phishing attacks to get you to give them your permission to install them. This includes MacKeeper. It will attempt to get you allow it it with all means possible. So be careful and you don't need any software that is going to make your life miserable.

  • Is there any way to use Internet Explorer on a Mac? I have one insurance company that I do business with that you must use internet explorer

    Is  there any way to use Internet Explorer on a Mac Book Pro? I have one company that I do business with that only uses Internet Explorer

    Internet Explorer is not available for Mac.
    But you can make Safari pretend to be Internet Explorer in some cases.
        Safari > Preference > Advanced
        Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
        "Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
        Click Develop, move mouse down to "User Agent".
        Select Internet Explorer from popup on the rightside.
        After using Internet Explorer, revert back to Safari, doing the same routine.

  • Is there any way to use flash without all the bloated code?

    I  want to put a flash player on my site, however with dreamweaver the  "insert movie" option puts a ton code in my markup to the point where i  cant even tell what im looking at. Is there any way to use flash without  all the bloat?

    Yes and no.  Some bloat as you call it is necessary to support all browsers.  That said, this on-line tool takes your Flash code and converts it to valid XHTML Strict standards.  In the process, the code is minimized a bit.  Be sure to test in an XHTML Strict doc type page.

  • I'm using TestStand/Labview to do a string value test. Is there any way to use a variable in the edit string value test?? This forces you to hard code a string to test against.

    I'm using TestStand 2.0/Labview 6i to do a string value test. Is there any way to use a string variable in the edit string value test instead of an actual string?? This forces you to hard code a string to test against.

    Hi ART,
    You can also use the LimitLoader step to load your string into to step similar to the Numeric Step type.
    There should be an example of this in the Resource Library | TestStand

  • Are there any differences between using Adobe Illustrator on a MAC and on a PC?

    Hello,
    I'm about go enroll in a class specialized for teaching Adobe Illustrator in order to be able to use the program at work.  The company that I work at uses Macintosh computers to deal with clerical work and everything, so I would like to know if there are any differences between using Adobe Ilustrator on a MAC and on a PC.  The school that offers training teaches two types of classes, where one uses Illustrator on a MAC, and the other one on a PC.  The PC class is able to have an earlier start date, which is why I'm sort of leaning towards choosing that class as I need to be able to use the software as soon as possible, but if there are main differences between the interface that will affect my knowledge of using Illustrator on a MAC after I take the class with Windows systems, then I will most likely be waiting for the class teaching in MAC systems.
    Thanks in advance for the help!
    Oh and another suggestion- should I take the Illustrator class in CS6 or CS5?

    Reading through the CS5 vs CS6 performance thread, the Mac version seems to have worse performance than Windows version.  From a starter's perspective the differences would most likely never be realized.  It will take some time to see differences between even CS5 and CS6 other than the visual aspect of course.
    Definitely take the CS6 versionso you can say you have it.  CS5 is my preferred version, CS6 is garbage with the bugs it has for the type of work I use it for.

  • Is there any way to use a late 2009 21.5 inch iMac as an external screen for an early 2011 MacBook Pro?

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to work out if there is any way that I can use my late 2009 21.5 inch iMac (running OS X 10.6.8; mindisplay port) as an external or second monitor when connected to my early 2011 13" MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8; thunderbolt).
    From what I've read online, I gather that I cannot simply connect the two with a minidisplay port to thunderbolt cable, as the iMac does not support target display mode. I know I can 'share screens', but this doesn't give me much of an improvement on size compared to just using my MacBook.
    Are there any other potential work arounds I might have missed? Any suggestions (or even conclusive answers to suggest I'm wasting my time by continuing to think about it!) would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks!

    Sorry but no, you are asking about Target Display Mode and the 2009/2010 21.5" iMacs did not support that, only the 27" iMacs did. You can read up on TDM in Apple's Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Is there any way to use microsoft outlook 2010 on ipad? Or is there apple app or program that will copy over all of the existing structure, folders, etc... and sync?

    I recently received a gift of a new ipad. Unfortunately I can't really switch from my Windows lap top until I figure out a way to use the ipad for my business emails which I use Outlook 2010 for. There are a singnificant amount of folders and history, with various attachments, that I have to have access to and I have been unable to find a way to move all of this over to the ipad. I use Yahoo mail for my primary mail server and can get the Yahoo mail on the ipad with no problem. But I do not have the full folder structure set up on Yahoo that I have on Outlook 2010 and to do so would be very time consuming...and I'm note even sure how I could move all the folders back to Yahoo and all the emails contained in them, many of which have been long deleted form Yahoo, back to Yahoo. Ideally I would just install Outlook 2010 on ipad and export all the files over. But there doesn't seem to be any Outlook 2010 program for ipad...if there is, please tell me about it. Otherwise, I need a relatively quick alternative that will not force me to recreate my entire Outlook 2010 folder structure and copy emails over folder by folder. If anyone has had the same issues, and was able to solve them, I would very much appreciate knowing how to do this. I like the ipad and want to use it for my main platform. Thanks

  • Is there any way to use my iphone through the computer?

    Today at work, my phone screen, which was already cracked, got messed up to the point where the screen is getting false touch signals. It is resonating from the top left of the screen and traveling down the fracture and making the phone impossible to use. I can barely open the lock screen, and there is no way to access any of the apps (including the actual call aspect). I want to know if there is a way for me to be able to use my phone through my computer, at least to be able to access my contact list and turn off an alarm I had set for tomorrow which I would prefer not to go off,since I would never be able to actually deactivate it...
    My problem makes it impossible to even shut off the phone, and since I use it as my house phone as well, it would really be amazing of there was some way to work it through the computer. I also am wary about letting the battery run dry because I want to be able to see if people are trying to contact me.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    This is not a feature of the iPhone or iOS.
    Replace the screen or device.

  • Getting Error Message when trying to use Software Update in the Mac App Store...

    Hello,
    I was wondering if someone knows what this error message in the Mac App Store means. I am trying to run Software Update by clicking in the Apple Menu however, I am not able to see my available updates and instead get the following message on the Mac App Store:
    I have tried to fix the error by deleting both the Mac App Store Caches and plist files in the user library and made sure that I am properly logged into the Mac App Store with my personal Apple ID.
    What else can I do?

    aayushp wrote:
    I've been having the same issue. It was all fine until yesterday when I was searching for updates.
    Since when have you been seeing this error message?
    Last time I checked for an update was about 2 weeks ago and there were no errors reported. However, today I wanted to update iTunes to version 10.7 and decided to use the standalone installer rather than the SU version. Still, I decided to run the MAS Software Update function in order to ensure that my computer had all its software up-to-date and then I get this message. I don't think that me installing iTunes is to blame. Probably, it could be an internet connection problem on Apple's end I am still submitting a bug report to Apple.
    Now one question, who is your ISP (internet service provider)? In my case I have Comcast and I am in Florida.
    Thanks for your reply!

  • Is there a way to make Illustrator save in the background, like Photoshop?

    Out of Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, Illustrator is definitely the one I have most problems working with, due to small UI differences and ways of handling things
    Like the fact that you can't drag next to a number to change it, like in Photoshop. Or the fact that I can't sync my settings (it only says "Signed in as:", and when I press Manage Account, I'm taken to my CC files in Safari).
    But most annoying is the fact that whenever I'll save a document in Illustrator, a dialogue box opens letting me know the progress of the saving. Not only does this make me unable to continue working on the document (if the file is large, it takes some time), the app icon starts jumping in the dock if I switch to another program before the box appears.
    So, is there any way to make it save in the background, like in Photoshop? I'm running OS X, with Illustrator version 17.1.0.

    This really frustrates me, small differences between the apps that shouldn't be there.
    I understand you can't change the keyboard shortcuts to be the same/similar, but this is totally different. Let's hope it changes soon.

  • Is there any harm in using colspan="1000"

    Hi,
    i want to know that is there any harm in using colspan="any big number" in my <TD> tag even if no row in table contains more than suppose 1 - 20 columns, i just want my current <TD > to span the whole available width of table, whatever may be the number of columns in other rows.

    well when you are outputting the table (dynamically I assume) you must know the number of columns it has, so you can also dynamically set the colspan value. Yes it will have an effect on the rendering of the table to set more rows in the colspan than there are actual rows in the table, but the effect will be browser dependent.
    Stupid question to you perhaps, but why don't you just try it out and see for yourself? Then you don't have to trust in the words of someone else!

  • Is there any voice recognition security software for mac

    is there any voice recognition security software for mac

    The problem is that there are probably few dry cleaners running Macs. It would be a big commitment for a developer to enter that market. As a potential user, I'm sure you would like it. From a developer standpoint, I would need 50 such dry cleaners ready to buy at $1000 each just to even consider it. I have some time to develop this year. Should I go after 200 million potential customers, a tiny fraction of whom might spend $5-10 apiece, or those 50 dry cleaners. I know that all of those 200 million people are running the correct operating system for my software. How many dry cleaners have Macs and $1000 to spare? I could go cheaper but then I would need more dry cleaners. Why wouldn't they just use some cloud based service instead?

  • Is there any restriction to use ora:getFaultAsString() ??

    Hi All,

    1) We have a dateconversion function, and i passed in correct value to that function so it got faulted and throws subLanguage Exception.
    2)I have given wrong DVM name, so again it got faulted and throws subLanguage Exception.
    3)I defined an XSL variable and used that in another template without passing, so it got faulted and throws subLanguage Exception.
    4)I used a substring function without giving starting and ending indexes..so it got faulted and throws subLanguage Exception.

    I need to build my ipa with old version of Engine because i have some problems about loading images from outside. Since with Air 15 it is default engine, and i cannot quit Air 15 because of the iTunes specs. I cannot add -useLegacyAOT=yes to compiler options on Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 because it seems that it can be added at FB4.7.
    So is there any way to add this options when i am using FB4.6
