Do I have to activate the firewall on my Mac OSX.6?

What's the use of Firewall and firevault?

The Firewall prevents outside hackers from easily getting access to your computer from outside your network. It is HIGHLY Reommended that you turn the Firewall "ON". The Firevault encrypts your harddrive so that anyone breaching your computer without a password will find jumbled (encrypted) files. Some people use Filevault; most people do Not.
Hope this helps

Have you checked your email's spam folder to make sure an email from Apple has not been put in there?

"at present I have disabled the bluetooth - if my ipad leaves my home and I want to use it outside the house do I have to activate the bluetooth?"

Can any one advise me please - I have recently bought the ipad mini and I have disabled the bluetooth application on the advise read in a book about the ipad - the ipad will stay home normally - however should I decide to take it out and want to use it, do I have to activate the bluetooth to be able to use it away from home?

You only need bluetooth if you are connecting to and using a bluetooth accessory, like BT wireless headphones. You can leave bluetooth on or off and go ahead and use your iPad normally anywhere.
Your iPad will work anywhere - the only things you may have to alter as you travel around with it are cellular and wifi settings. If you have a wifi only iPad mini, you may need to select wifi networks when away from your home network in order to connect. If you have a wifi & cellular iPad mini, you would usually turn off cellular at home and use your home wifi connection. But when away from home, and if outside of range of any free wifi hotspots, you would then need to enable the cellular connection in order to get on the internet.
But using your iPad, and having a data connection are independent things to a degree. You don't need any connection (wifi, or cellular) to read a book or document you've downloaded, or watch a movie you've downloaded, or listen to music or podcasts you've already downloaded. Your iPad only needs the data connection if what you wish to do requires internet access. And Bluetooth is only needed if you want to connect to and use a bluetooth accessory.

You can setup with your Wi-Fi.

I'm on 4.2.1 and keep getting timed out (err=.3259) when trying to download 4.3.3. I have tried disabling the firewall and antivirus but still no luck. Any ideas?

I had the same problem! I don't know what caused it, possibly slow Internet but I suppose my antivirus or other software could have affected it. Maybe it's an iTunes problem.
After restarting the download at least 5 times in iTunes after it timed out, I found this website. I didn't know this before, but you can download the update in your browser and then apply it to your iPhone in iTunes once it finishes. I used Firefox 4 and it downloaded without timing out once. All you have to do is hold down Shift and then click on Update in iTunes and it will prompt you to select the update that you downloaded and it will apply it.
Try this and let me know how it works!

Hi,
I scoured the web looking everywhere for a solution to this.
Exit Code 15
OSX 8.5 with Work@Home DVD media for CS6
I followed instructions to run 3rd party cleaner software
I tried the adobe removal tool
removing all copies of adobe software manually
installing from a new account, safe mode, plist everything suggested that i found did not work.
A colleague suggested that removing the below folder would allow the installation:
/Library/Application Supports/Adobe
They turned out to be correct, so i am passing this on, because this took far too many hours of my time.
Cheers,
Smokey

LR5 version 5.3 abends when selecting media type in the print module; on Mac OSX 10.9.1. Why?

LR5 version 5.3 abends when selecting media type in the print module; on Mac OSX 10.9.1. Why? The printer is an Epson 4900.

I contacted Epson and the following steps resolved the problem.
Please close all of your programs to Repair Permissions:
1. Go to your Mac Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities and open the Disk Utility.
2. Click on and highlight your main Mac Hard Drive in the list on the left.
3. Select Repair Disk Permissions and once this is finished, restart your computer.
Once restarted, please do the following:
1. Open your System Preferences
2. Open Print & Fax (10.7/10.8/10.9 is Print & Scan)
3. Highlight your Epson printer in the Printer List on the left hand side of the window if it is showing in the list. If it is not showing up, continue to step 5
4. Click on the MINUS sign below the Printer List and confirm deletion of the printer
5. Click on the PLUS below the Printer List to re-add the printer
6. Click on and Highlight the Epson Printer in the window and confirm that in the USE field it reads for "EPSON XXXXXX"
7. If it does, click ADD and the printer should show up again in the Printer List and you can try to print again
If you are still having issue, try printing from Apples Preview and see if it print fine. If so, the issue would be PS and/or LR and you would need to troubleshoot the program installation.

I need to connect a eMac - power mac 6,4 -PowerPC G4 (1.1) to the internet wirelessly running mac osx 10.4.11.
Can anyone advise me please. I have done some research and think a USB adapter is the best option as I doubt the eMac will be able to take a card but the software will have to be able to run on tiger.

Might be an idea to ask them for confirmaion that it will work with your Mac, but it should do!

Hhow much goal and free hard disk space is available? Sounds like you need to move some things off of that hard drive.

I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

Question
I just installed the new firefox for Mac OSX 10.6.8 and when I select an image on a site (right click and copy) and paste in Photoshop 5.5, the image lightens. It does not do this in Safari.

Firefox, Safari, and PhotoShop each handle embedded color profiles differently. For an add-on that makes it easier to experiment with Firefox's color management options, you might be interested in: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-management/ Color Management :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

Do I have to activate the upgraded phone if I go upgrade at the Verizon store?

All of the lines in my family shared plan are eligible for an upgrade right now (2 smartphone lines and 2 dumbphone/voice only lines). i want to keep the phones i am currently using on ALL 4 lines. I know you have to activate your phone if you upgrade via online and that is how the customer accepts the terms and conditions. my question is:
1. can i go to the store and upgrade all 4 lines to, for example, the samsung galaxy s4 and get the 2 year contract price @ $200 each (totalling $800) WITHOUT opening the box?
2. i know data plan is required for smartphones, so if i get the data plan for the dumb phone for the upgrade, and after the upgrade, i deactivate the smartphone and move the number back onto the dumbphone, will i incurr a charge for having a data plan for the few minutes it takes up upgrade the phone?
3. instead of moving phone numbers back and forth from used phones to new phones and back onto the used phones, can i just go to the store and tell the customer rep to renew my contract term for 2 years and sell me the 4 smartphones for $200 each?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I would love help and provide clarity ShaggyPod! Yes, you can visit a store location and upgrade all 4 lines without activating the devices. A 2 year contract will be accepted prior and an "activate later" will be selected for the lines of service. It depends what plan you are on to give accurate information about data plan changes. However, you will be charged for the day(s) the plan was changed. If you would like more information specific to your account please visit a store location or accept my follow request, follow me and send me a direct message with your mobile number. Thank you.

Do I have to activate the phone and have a plan with at&t to use the other.

features on the phone such as the internet and youtube. I will not be using the phone part of this and the only reason im getting this is because the new 8 gig iphone is cheaper than the i touch.

yes you need to activate the Iphone to use the other features also when you buy the Ipone AT&T or Apple will have you sign up for a 2 year aggreement. So It's not cheaper

Failed to Open a Session on the Device - scanning from Mac OSX 10.9.3 - M1217nfw

Hello,
I'm running into some issues scanning wirelessly from our HP LaserJet M1217nfw MFP from any Mac running 10.9.3. I've tried to "Reset Printing System" and re-adding the printer with no success. Each time I open either Preview/Printers & Scanners/Image Capture, I receive the following error message: "Failed to Open a Session on the Device." When I add the printer, I do so by selecting the "+" icon, and selecting "Add Printer or Scanner..." selecting the printer from the list listed via bonjour, and "Select the software" but my model printer is not listed. The closest printer listed is HP LaserJet Professional M1210nf MPF Series, but it doesn't work. Any ideas here?
This question was solved.

Welcome to the HP Forums jpuebla,
I see by your post that you are having issues scanning, you aren't able find the drivers to add the printer.
I can help you with this issue.
The drivers for Maverick are the Apple Update drivers.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer.
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign, then select the printer from the list and click on the Add button.
(make sure it shows the printer name beside Use, not the Airprint driver)
You might have to run the Apple Updates again with USB cable connected to get the drivers installed.
Then try and add the bonjour printer again.
Test the printer again.
If you are having network issues, then add the printer through the IPProtocal.
After clicking the + button, select the IP icon across the top, type in the printer's IP address, select jet direct below and then Apply.
Test the printer.
I have seen the HP Printer Drivers v.2.16.1 for OS X drivers work successfully, if the issue persists.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

How to reset the admin password for Mac OSX 10.5.8

I have a 2008 Macbook Leopard version of the Mac OSX 10.5.8. My DVD optical drive does not open, and I need to reset the admin password because we have forgotten what it is. Wondering if it is possible doing it at home some step by step process I am fine with deleting all the contents saved on the macbook as well.

Not without the optical drive. You would need to insert the install disc to reset the admin password.
But you may be able to do this in single user mode > 10.5: Reset a user's password in single user mode - Mac OS X Hints
