Any Wake On LAN Software for Leopard?

Ok, I have a PC upstairs, and an iMac downstairs
I have got VNC viewer working on my Mac now to be able to access my PC upstairs.
However I would like to be able to remotely switch it on after I have shut it down, I know my network card has to support it, but on my iMac what software do I need, and where can I get it form (free preferably!)
SO I need some WOl (wake on LAN) software for my iMac, anyone help
ps any tips on doing this gratefully accepted, including VNC and remote PC'sing ;0)
cheers

I cannot make it work, it seems the WOL packets are not transmitted to the remote computer. I have a G5 (2004). Is it compatible?
how can I check the remote computer is indeed receiving the packet?
I'm on the same network, connected to a switch (so no router involved). I can connect via file sharing, I can ping, but not too sure where the WOL packet gets losts.
thanks!

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?

Airport Express Software for Leopard

Hi, the installation disk for my new Airport Express device says, that it wouldn't run due to my OS, which is 10.5/Leopard.
The software lists don't give any clou, where to find a valid version for Leopard.
Does anyone know how to succeed in using the airport?

It sounds like you may have bought an 802.11b/g AirPort Express (AX).
Ignore the software on the disc. Go to /Applications/Utilities and use "AirPort Utility" to configure the AX.

64 bit software for Leopard?

Hi everyone,
I know Leopard is a 64 OS,and I know that 64-bit software runs best on 64 bits OSs.
So my question is that is there any 64 Bit software 1st party or 3rd party for Leopard?

OS X is a full 32 or 64-bit operating system and can be installed on either architecture that is supported. However, I don't think there is any 64-bit software currently available.
Oh and just for clarity as I'm sure you had the right idea in mind, it's not bit "rate" but bit "width." It refers to the size of the data word or data path. Bit "rate" usually refers to an audio recording sample rate.

Virus? Antivirus software for Leopard?

Recently, our flawless iMac (currently running 10.5.8) that we've owned since December of '07 and that has worked perfectly has started freezing or not coming out of 'sleep'.
We've successfully rebooted and everything seems fine but once in a while it will just freeze in the middle of a screen change or something else entirely innocent.
Do you think it's a virus? Are there ANY Antivirus programs out there that we should be using?
Do we even NEED an antivirus program for this OS?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

No viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions.
Do not be tricked by 'scareware' that attempts computer users to download fake anti-virus software that may itself be malware. More on that here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8313678.stm
Beware of PDF files from unknown sources. A security firm announced that by its counting, malicious Reader documents made up 80% of all exploits at the end of 2009.:

It is possible, however, to pass on a Windows virus to another Windows user, for example through an email attachment. To prevent this all you need is the free anti-virus utility ClamXav, which you can download for Tiger and Leopard from:
http://www.clamxav.com/
The new version for Snow Leopard is available here:
http://www.clamxav.com/index.php?page=v2beta
(Note: ClamAV adds a new user group to your Mac. That makes it a little more difficult to remove than some apps. You’ll find an uninstaller link in ClamXav’s FAQ page online.)
However, the appearance of Trojans and other malware that can possibly infect a Mac seems to be growing, but is a completely different issue to viruses.
If you allow a Trojan to be installed, the user's DNS records can be modified, redirecting incoming internet traffic through the attacker's servers, where it can be hijacked and injected with malicious websites and pornographic advertisements. The trojan also installs a watchdog process that ensures the victim's (that's you!) DNS records stay modified on a minute-by-minute basis.
You can read more about how, for example, the OSX/DNSChanger Trojan works here:
http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojanosxdnschanger.shtml
SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X. It's available here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/
The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X and allows users to check to see if the trojan has been installed on their computer; if it has, the software helps to identify and remove the offending file. After a system reboot, the users' DNS records will be repaired.
(Note that a 30 day trial version of MacScan can be downloaded free of charge from:
http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
and this can perform a complete scan of your entire hard disk. After 30 days free trial the cost is $29.99. The full version permits you to scan selected files and folders only, as well as the entire hard disk. It will detect (and delete if you ask it to) all 'tracker cookies' that switch you to web sites you did not want to go to.)
A white paper has recently been published on the subject of Trojans by SubRosaSoft, available here:
http://www.macforensicslab.com/ProductsAndServices/index.php?mainpage=document_general_info&cPath=11&productsid=174
Also, beware of MacSweeper:
MacSweeper is malware that misleads users by exaggerating reports about spyware, adware or viruses on their computer. It is the first known "rogue" application for the Mac OS X operating system. The software was discovered by F-Secure, a Finland based computer security software company on January 17, 2008
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacSweeper
On June 23, 2008 this news reached Mac users:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/23/mac_trojan/
More on Trojans on the Mac here:
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/63574.html?welcome=1214487119
This was published on July 25, 2008:
Attack code that exploits flaws in the net's addressing system are starting to circulate online, say security experts.
The code could be a boon to phishing gangs who redirect web users to fake bank sites and steal login details.
In light of the news net firms are being urged to apply a fix for the loop-hole before attacks by hi-tech criminals become widespread.
Net security groups say there is anecdotal evidence that small scale attacks are already happening.
Further details here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7525206.stm
A further development was the Koobface malware that can be picked up from Facebook (already a notorious site for malware, like many other 'social networking' sites like Twitter etc), as reported here on December 9, 2008:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/technology/newsid_7773000/7773340.stm
You can keep up to date, particularly about malware present in some downloadable pirated software, at the Securemac site:
http://www.securemac.com/
There may be other ways of guarding against Trojans, viruses and general malware affecting the Mac, and alternatives will probably appear in the future. In the meantime the advice is: be careful where you go on the web and what you download!
If you think you may have acquired a Trojan, and you know its name, you can also locate it via the Terminal:
http://theappleblog.com/2009/04/24/mac-botnet-how-to-ensure-you-are-not-part-of- the-problem/
As to the recent 'Conficker furore' affecting Intel-powered computers, MacWorld recently had this to say:
http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?email&NewsID=25613
Although any content that you download has the possibility of containing malicious software, practising a bit of care will generally keep you free from the consequences of anything like the DNSChanger trojan.
1. Avoid going to suspect and untrusted Web sites, especially p'orn'ography sites.
2. Check out what you are downloading. Mac OS X asks you for you administrator password to install applications for a reason! Only download media and applications from well-known and trusted Web sites. If you think you may have downloaded suspicious files, read the installer packages and make sure they are legit. If you cannot determine if the program you downloaded is infected, do a quick Internet search and see if any other users reported issues after installing a particular program.
3. Use an antivirus program like ClamXav. If you are in the habit of downloading a lot of media and other files, it may be well worth your while to run those files through an AV application.
4. Use Mac OS X's built-in Firewalls and other security features.
5. Stop using LimeWire. LimeWire (and other peer-to-peer sharing applications) are hotbeds of potential software issues waiting to happen to your Mac. Everything from changing permissions to downloading trojans and other malicious software can be acquired from using these applications. Similar risks apply to using Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and similar sites which are prone to malicious hacking: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8420233.stm
6. Resist the temptation to download pirated software. After the release of iWork '09 earlier this year, a Trojan was discovered circulating in pirated copies of Apple's productivity suite of applications (as well as pirated copies of Adobe's Photoshop CS4). Security professionals now believe that the botnet (from iServices) has become active. Although the potential damage range is projected to be minimal, an estimated 20,000 copies of the Trojan have been downloaded. SecureMac offer a simple and free tool for the removal of the iBotNet Trojan available here:

Last but not least, there is the potential for having your entire email contact list stolen for use for spamming:

Web Site Creation Software for Leopard?

Any recommendations for software which can be used in Leopard to create quality web sites? Thank you.

Commercial or personal? Graphical interface or are you a tagger? iWeb (part of the iLife suite) comes with the Mac and is graphical, simple, and for me ultimately frustrating and unusable. RapidWeaver is another graphical web design program which is much less limited than iWeb and I use it for my personal pages and some professional work as well. At the other end of the graphical spectrum is Adobe's DreamWeaver, a commercial product that is graphical but neither simple nor simplistic. Meanwhile, I can create a pretty mean webpage with TextEdit or Coda, both of which require knowledge of tagging and possibly CSS.

I tried look up online but mostly the info are on snow leopard.
I know i missed something in this forum but i couldnt find either. Thank you

Some Apps here...

But might look into older versions of these, not sure what your record keeping involves.
Might look into NeoOffice...

Or Open Office...

There are older versions for 10.4.11 available...

That'll give you tantamount to MS Office.

Any suggestions regarding security software for my MacBook?

Just picked up a new MacBook Pro. What are the guidelines for security software (malware/spyware/anti-virus)? I have access to Norton Security Suite from Comcast. Would that be o.k. to load or would it cause problems?

The only "need" to have an anti-virus software is if you exhange emails with Windows users and do not want to be beaten up by them when forwarding a virus infected mail.
There are two free solutions available (ClamAvX and Sophos) that work quite well without slowing down the Mac too much.
Although I have one of these AV apps installed, I have never come across any mail virus on my Mac over the last decade.
No other software needed, just the usual setup for every computer:
disable auto-login
enable the internal firewall if your router does not have one (or you do not have a router)
activate the password lock for the screen saver
use your brain while browsing the internet
The last topic is most likely the most important one

Accounting software for leopard

With the demise of MYOB is there now any alternative to buying a windows PC and running QuickBooks?

Stolzy - I find myself in the exact same situation. Long term MYOB / Checkout user left out in the cold. What I don't understand is why no one is localizing the US products - it can't be difficult to deal with sales tax and payroll as separate modules on a country by country basis. Everything else is sufficiently flexible to fulfill local accounting rules (especially in the UK as the rules aren't at all prescriptive).
I think there is a huge gap in the market (especially if you look at one of those graphs about Mac take up that Apple trot out at every opportunity).

Are there any Mac-friendly typography software for designing text

I used to do this in PhotoShop 4, but this program is no longer compatible with the iMac. I'm too low-ended to use Adobe Photo Elements. Hence, trying to find a program that one can design their text as 'titles' headlines on display boards, PPT presentations and iWeb. The text then can be saved either as PDF or JPEG thereby avoiding font subsitution when placed in other people's documents especially in iWeb. I have PrintShop for the Mac, but I find there is not enough scope for designing text titles.
Thanks!

There is a free "lite" version of Art Text 2 available in the Mac App Store.

Is there ANY good video editing software for Linux??

I am at my wit's end. ALL I want to do is put picture-in-picture. Here's what I've run into:
Avidemux: Hardly actually does anything. Beyond trimming files, this thing's pretty much worthless.
OpenMovieEditor: Won't read my video files.
KDenLive: Annihilates my processor, and the sync goes off every time I trim clips
Cinelerra: crashes whenever I load any files.
LiVES: No idea if this does it, but the documentation seems to say no.
I'm about to lose my damn mind here. Is there anything I'm missing?

Any experience with Lojack software for the Macbook?

Good? Bad?
I understand it's not a perfect security solution. What I'm worried about is whether it will screw something up unexpectedly.

Wake on LAN configuration on 4507R switch

Trying to configure Wake on LAN on a 4507R switch. I thought I would just get it working with devices directly attached to this switch before trying to expand the configuration to the rest of the network.
Followed this document:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps5023/products_configuration_example09186a008084b55c.shtml
Between this and other web articles I’ve read, it seems fairly simple to configure. However, I haven’t gotten it to work yet. I can’t identify the correct udp socket(s) to try, even when using the same Solarwinds Wake On LAN software mentioned in the article. Am also using Wyse Device Manager to attempt to wake thin clients.
I’ve tried to use debug ip udp, but never see any entries listed for the transmission(s) by the host machine to the intended subnets(s).
Also tried using Wireshark, but I still don’t see the host transmissions from any device that I’ve tried sending the WOL packets from.
Does anyone know the socket(s) used by either of those two pieces of software for WOL packets?
TIA
Rick

Wake on LAN - ip directed broadcast

We're looking at deploying a Wake-on-LAN solution for software distribution. The first alternative to distribute the 'magic packet' is enabling 'ip directed-broadcast' in each router, which presents a security risk (man in the middle attack, ARP table poisoning), the second alternative is to extend ARP aging time in the routers which presents the same security risk.
My question is, how can be this security risk reduced or minimized (options I've heard of: 'dynamic ARP inspection' in the switches, ACL on the router associated with the ip directed-broadcast command allowing only software distribution servers to convert directed-broadcast packets into unicast packets). I have a concern extending ARP aging time and its impact with current or future application.
I'll appreciated any comment. Thanks.

IP directed broadcasts are used in the popular "smurf" denial-of-service attack and derivatives thereof. An IP directed broadcast is a datagram that is sent to the broadcast address of a subnet to which the sending machine is not directly attached. The directed broadcast is routed through the network as a unicast packet until it arrives at the target subnet, where it is converted into a link-layer broadcast. Because of the nature of the IP addressing architecture, only the last router in the chain, the one that is connected directly to the target subnet, can conclusively identify a directed broadcast. Directed broadcasts are occasionally used for legitimate purposes, but such use is not common outside the financial services industry. In a "smurf" attack, the attacker sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo requests from a falsified source address to a directed broadcast address, causing all the hosts on the target subnet to send replies to the falsified source. By sending a continuous stream of such requests, the attacker can create a much larger stream of replies, which can completely inundate the host whose
address is being falsified. If a Cisco interface is configured with the no ip directed-broadcast command, directed broadcasts
that would otherwise expand into link-layer broadcasts at that interface are dropped instead.
If you are behind a firewall and are confident in your security policy, then I don't see this as being a problem.
