Does OS X Mavericks or lower still safe?
Hi Mac People,
I still running on mavericks, and recently the big security hole make mac so insecure, I see a post mentioned only os x yosemite get the update to solve it, is this correct?
If so, do us who still love the older design os x still safe?
Thanks for your all opinion!
Mavericks still receives security updates from Apple, including the ntpd update: About OS X NTP Security Update - Apple Support
Here are all of them: Apple security updates - Apple Support

I am just kind of worried that it doesn't even fit. Do I need to kind of pop the expanded portion of the battery to get it to fit back in? The case of the battery has come apart and so to fit it back in I would have to press it back together. The battery is low count and had great capacity when it happened. I don't want to have to buy another one when this one is fairly new.
... The apple genuis said it is still safe to use, that doesn't sound right.
I agree with you, that's not right.
This may seem to be a little problem - fix it before it becomes a big one. -
Snow Leopard still safe to use?
For some reason my mac always freezes randomly with Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
Is it still safe to use Snow Leopard for browsing with Firefox and emailing with Mail app?
Comments please.Excuse for my bad english (i'm italian) But i will try to tell what i understood.
I too use firefox, with snow leopard, and i think is safe i'm sure of it.
In the page of Apple support
http://www.apple.com/support/sitemap/
apart from the new maverick that is the current release
than, as you all can see, under the voice of "earlier release" there are all the OS that apple still support ( and this means also that if there will be the need of a security uppdate this will come.
and together with lion and mountain lion they still support not only SNOW LEOPARD but LEOPARD too, that is older than snow leopard.
Remember that Snow Leopard is still sold by apple so they HAVE TO SUPPORT IT!
When, by the end of february there was the world doubt of "maybe apple stop support to snow leopard" one day a went to ask in a Big apple store in my city. And they told me that all that things that the blogger was telling about apple that will stop support snow leopard was only silly things told to make caos... They told me that snow leopard is still support by apple as we can see in apple support page sitemap, and that if others OS was updated (for security update) and Snow Leopard last time have not security update this was because Snow Leopard HAD NOT the need to be Updated at this moment. But if in the future there will be the need of an update that wlll come!
Those things they told me in the shop is clearly in line with what Peter Cohen told in this article here...
http://www.imore.com/snow-leopard-vulnerable-attacks-has-apple-really-abandoned- it-0
So i think we can all be quiet ad use our snow leopard withoud doubt.
The only important things for us that use firefox together with snow leopard is the hope that MOZILLA will go on to make newer version of firefox that CAN run with snow leopard!
Unfortunatly Mozilla stoped give version for LEOPARD time ago so stop to give browser news for a OS that is still supported by apple...
So i hope that they will not do the same with snow leopard, but i hope that they will go on to give us new version of firefox that run with snow leopard for a long time AT LEAST till snow leopard will be supported by apple (but i hope even more!)
For this i already written to mozilla italian forum asking to the mozilla people "please do not stop to give us firefox for snow leopard!" go on to make us happy and give it to us for a long time! -
Does updating to Mavericks install iTunes 11?
Hey, us guys still on iTunes 10.7? Does updating to Mavericks install iTunes 11 or do I have to stay on Mountain Lion. Thanks for your responses!
http://awesometoast.com/downgrading-to-itunes-10-7-from-itunes-11-on-osx/
Did you delete 11 by using the App Zap or the terminal? If you did use terminal when you entered in these commands:
killall iTunes
killall "iTunes Helper"
sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
Do you enter all 3 together and then shoot or do you have to enter each one at a time and enter each command individually? -
I'm in cycle mode, and 'merge' is clicked in preferences. However, when I record, my previous track data keeps getting overwritten. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong. Interestingly, I can still see the data in the region.

since you didn't specify, are you recording in a single take?

Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box. Thanks! Olga
If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

I want to disable or remove Game center from my iphone. It's always pop up during i play hay day game. So i can not solve this problem. Any way i try to log in game center my several Apple id account but it does' not work. I am still stuck in log in page
The Game Center app is pre installed and cannot be removed from the device.
Best thing to do is move it to the last available screen.
Hold down the Game Center app until all the apps jiggle then sliide the Game Center app to the right from one screen to the next. This requires a bit of finesse, but it's doable.
Press the Home button one time to stop the apps from jiggling.
For the Apple ID issue, try resetting.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then try your Apple ID and password for the Game Center app. -

5 days ago I bought a 13" MacBook Air from an apple store. It does not have Maverick on it! I paid full price for it, but since it has the old operating system I kind of feel like I bought a "clearance" item but payed full price for it! Does anyone have any advice, wisdom etc. This is my first Mac and I'm really bummed that it's not the latest and greatest. I know I can download maverick for free.....but are there other differences? Maybe something else that I thought I was getting but didn't? Thanks.
There is no difference, you didnt get "shorted" Mavericks is a FREE DOWNLOAD
Open the APP store and download Mavericks.
You didnt buy a "clearance" item, you just got an Air that was there at the shop before Mavericks was released.
There is no difference other than a 40 min. download. -

Is lion still safe from Zeus malware? I was an idiot and was fooled by a fake LinkedIn email
Is lion os still safe from Zeus malware? I was an idiot an fell for a fake LinkedIn message. Not sure if anything happened. Also, is the iPhone safe as well?
Back in 2006 I responded to a promotion from Apple enabling me to buy Final Cut Studio at a huge discount, if I would send them my Final Cut Pro serial #. I did that
I took advantage of the same "crossgrade" offer. If I recall correctly, they didn't ask for you to send them your serial number. They required you to send your old FCP install disc. Here's the instructions from the PDF order form for the offer:
Instructions
1. Fill out this order form and enclose it with
payment of US$199 plus applicable sales tax
and your original Final Cut Pro 4 or Final Cut
Pro HD Install DVD for each Final Cut Studio
Upgrade Kit ordered.
Apple recommends that you make
photocopies of the completed order form
and the face of the Final Cut Pro 4 or Final
Cut Pro HD Install DVD for your records.
2. Mail the completed order form, payment, and
the original Final Cut Pro 4 or Final Cut Pro HD
Install DVD to:
Apple
My point is that IF you sent in the old install disc, you may still have the old serial number. It was originally printed on two labels and was affixed to the front of the booklet titled "Installing Your Software."
My upgrade was from FCP 4.5 ... but you may have upgraded from a different version. It may be worth a look to see if you can find it.

A gold connector is missing on lightning charger cable. Is it still safe to use?
One of the little gold connectors on the lightning charging cable is missing. Is it still safe to use?
If a connector is missing then the cable is damaged and will no longer work as expected or at all. Get a new cable.

Does the Fill Workspace Background function still exist in any way?
I could make it such that I could see my desktop (or whatever was open behind my file) when I was using Elements 6.
Thanks and best.
(Mac Version. Elements 12)Hey, thanks kindly for the assistance.
That is highly disappointing.
Do you happen to know if the feature remains for PS CC? I have CS5, too, and this feature exists, I wonder if it has continued in this line...
Thanks again. -
When Lion officially comes out from the Mac App Store, I understand that I can just buy it from there. However, will the laptops have Lion automatically? Or does it come with Snow leopard still.
The ones sold that day will come with Snow Leopard most likely but they will be able to get a free upgrade to LIon if they apply within 30 days. Hardware coming through the supply chain from the day of the announcement will have Lion installed so it depends what stock people have to move before buyers see those.

I'm using a workstation graphics card that allows for GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC.
Selecting 'GPU Preview' instead of 'CPU Preview' under the 'View' toolbar in Illustrator CC results in a more choppy experience.
Which leads me to wonder:
Does GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC still work after disabling 'GPU Preview' and enabling 'CPU Preview' (on a workstation gpu)?
Does GPU acceleration for my gpu actually improve the performance for my work?If you disable the GPU acceleration in preferences then you'll be unable to enable GPU preview under the view menu. It will automatically go into CPU preview as the GPU is no longer enabled.
If you're experiencing choppy performance when you do have the GPU preview selected, something is amiss because any GPU that can support GPU acceleration should be able to do it without a performance hit.
What is the video card that's in the workstation?
