The OS is it's own Virus Protection. It's not that Apple computers are immune to viruses, just that (as I understand it), it is hard to create a "Unix" virus, and Unix is the underpinnings of Mac's OS.
Apple also provides "security" updates now and then help protect the computer.
I'm sure others can point out extra virus protection that you can download or buy if you want it. But for the most part, Mac's OS is, knock wood, highly virus resistant.

    Does iPad have virus protection when sending or receiving e mails?

    You can purchase an email attachment virus checker from the app store, but there is no means for an attachment you receive to infect your iPad. If you decide to by the app I refenced be sure to closely read the app description and some reviews.

    Where is the link that says you need a 32 bit processor?  On my MBA, in the past I've ran both Office for Mac and Windows 7 (MS Office) via Parallels (Bootcamp does the same thing).  I chose installing Windows 7 in the 32 bit mode ONLY because I have a couple of other legacy Windows programs that only run in 32 bit mode.

    Sorry I would not know how to score a copy of the Program disc. I would not even trust it if I did.
    Photoshop is one of the most pirated software out there and in cases loaded with malware.
    Ok then, create a admin account on XP, log in and try running the cd there.

    I know how to do the updates. What I dont know is what size each update that I have completed was. I am having a data usage disagreement with my Telco and want to prove to them that this computer did not download the amount of data they are claiming it did.

  • I am a writer who recently moved from the PC world and purchased a MacBook Air. I love the Air. However, I use MS Word extensively. I am use to the extensive grammar settings in Word. Does Pages have anything that robust? I can't find it. Thanks.

    Does Pages have the robust grammar settings that MS Word has? I can't find them. Word identifies run-on sentences, possessives and plurals, subject-verb disagreement, passive voice, split infinitives, contractions, excessively wordy sentences, etc. Does Pages have those capablities? If not and I buy MS Word for mac, does it perform well on the Mac?

    If you would like to check out what sorts of issues people have with MS Word for Mac, you can have a look a the forum run by MS for that:

  • Can I install Linux for Windows on my Apple Mac and afterwards use old windows programs as PageMaker on my new Mac. If yes where can I find Linus windows for Mac

    Can I install Linux for Windows at my new Mac and afterwards use old Windows programs as Photo Shop and PageMaker on my Mac? If yes where at the Internet can I find Linux for Mac and Windows?

    What is your definition of a "Linux for Windows" ?
    There is Linux like Ubuntu which can be installed on a Mac
    See the UbuntuForuns here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam
    And there is Microsoft Windows which can be installed and used on a Mac with Apples BootCamp http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ or through Virtualization apps like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox.
    Windows Programs don't run in a Linux only in Windows.

  • Now that I have uploaded Firefox 4 I seem to have lost the option to save and quit. Does it still exist and if so, where can I find it?

    Well, there's not much more to say really. The main reason I use Firefox is so that I can leave all my tabs open and come back to them next time I log onto the internet and since I upgraded to Firefox 4 I have not been able to do this. When I close down it just asks me if I am sure I want to close all the tabs - this used to happen if I had inadvertently opened Firefox twice but now it happens even when I haven't. If there isn't a solution I will just go back to using the previous Firefox programme.

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

    When I load my Adobe Illustrator CS2 disk onto my recently reconfigured laptop, the icon to download and install the program does not appear.  I have tried opening it through a Finder window, but haven't had any success.  How can I download this program to my computer?

    Is there a way to export my movie timeline (as in the organisation of my
    clips, not just the movie)  to a external hard drive. I thought publish
    would help but I'm unsure and the export button under file doesn't light
    up. I'm using Elements 11 and I'm trying to save it to a hard drive so I
    can unistall the program, upgrade my operating system and reinstall.

  • I need to upgrade my MacBook Pro from 10.5.8 - where can I find Snow Leopard?

    I just upgraded my iPhone to os6 and now can't get into iTunes.  Can't upgrade iTunes because I'm still on 10.5.8.  Looks like I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard, then to Lion before I can buy Mountain Lion.  I can't seem to find Snow Leopard avaiable for purchase.  Can anyone help?

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    If you need to purchase Lion contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Are my applications compatible?
    See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
    For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Where can I find a "dummy" macbook pro

    I work for a company who is looking to create some accessories for Macbook Pro 15" with retina display and 13" with retina display. I am looking to obtain either a "gutless" or "dummy" laptop to be able to send to Asia for sampling, etc. Or a broken version.
    Does anyone know of a website to purchase such a "case"?
    Thanks!

    You might try eBay to see if anyone is selling just a case, or at least a for-parts laptop.

  • Where can I find battery for MacBook 5,1?

    I'm using MacBook 5,1 for at least 5 years now. It works perfectly fine,but battery is dead. They do not sell them in stores anymore, and I cannot find it online. Can someone give me a link,where I can purchase a new battery?

  • Acrobat Pro 9: have upgrade serial number. Where can I find qualifying version serial number purchased in 2005?

    I purchased Acrobat 9 Pro many years ago. Apparently, this is considered an Upgrade. I do not have the original serial number for whatever product I had purchased in 2005.  Last year, Adobe provided me with a serial number. This year, the company will not. They can confirm that my 9 Pro is legitimate, but I guess they don't believe me when I tell them that I don't have the serial number for the product purchased in 2005.

    No one in these forums has the ability to provide you with a serial number - only Adobe Support can do that.  If your serial number from the last time they gave you one doesn't work then you have no choice but to try to get them to provide you one or find the original one that you should have retained from 2005.  While it might be hard to win any favor with customer support with your forum id as it is, if you are friendly with them they might be more willing to try to help.

  • Where can I find download of Firefox 18 in the Latvian language?

    Hello,
    Since I upgraded to Firefox 19 the shortcuts wouldn't work on my desktop and anywhere else on my PC. I tried to reinstall Firefox 18 and then Firefox shortcuts came alive again. But it does not have my (Latvian) language. Where can I find the link to Firefox 18 in the Latvian language? I have Windows XP Service Pack 3.
