Google Chrome is now the best browser for Mac AS WELL AS Ipod touches.

I have google chrome on my Ipod touch 4g, and My macbook pro 2010 2TB Hardrive. It doesn't crash, and has far more benefits than that of safari.

Can't confirm.

  • What's the best antivirus for mac???should i use one or not??

    Mac's use a Unix based operating system and other controls that make it hostile for viruses to thrive.
    However it's possible to carry Windows viruses to other Windows machines by a Mac, also there might be some corruption if your dealing with a lot of Windows files.
    So all you really need is a scanner to run when you need it, something like the free ClamXav is good.
    http://www.clamxav.com/
    Apple includes a anti-trojan/malicious program type anti-malware service built into all latest versions of OS X, it works and updates in the background.
    There has been many attempts at trying to "trojan" or trick Mac users into installing rogue software on web pages. If you see soemthing like this, best to just Force Quit the browser by clicking on the Finder and selecting Force Quit from the menu.
    A alternative browser like Firefox will offer more protection.
    If you run your typical day to day operations on a Mac in what's called "Standard User", with a separate Admin User account, you'll need to update your Apple Menu > Software Update and your Apple Menu > System Preferences > Security > toggle the "Automatically Update Safe Downloads List" check box on/off about once a week.
    Standard User provides more security restrictions, but is also designed not to intrude into those who are less capable use of the computer.
    Third party plugins for your browser like Flash and Silverlight (used on Netflix) require a once a week check for updates.
    Use a free service like the Mozilla browser check here:
    https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    Always back up your personal data and never install programs that your not 100% you trust the source of.
    If you have any questions or suspicions, simply ask the opinions of the more senior users here on this forum.
    Good advice is not to install any anti-virus like Norton that demands the operating system remain a consistent state. Apple changes things all the time, which breaks software like Norton or OS X itself when a Software Update occurs.
    There are two great free 3D games, simply search for: Nexiuz Classic and Cube 2 Sauerbraten.
    If this information helped you, please click "Helpful" or "Solved" thank you.
    Good Luck and enjoy your Mac.

  • What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g?  iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

    What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g?  iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.
    It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6.  Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
    When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether.  Is there a  way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

  • The Best Configuration for Mac Pro

    Hey All,
    I'm getting a Mac Pro in April, and I'm just seeing if you guys new the best configureation for the Mac Pro, Now I like alot of space and I love watching Dvd's on my mac, I'm also really in to making great home movies!
    Thanks!

    You don't need to do much of anything to get good performance.
    Once you've gotten use to it, and paid down a bit, shop for more RAM, check for what type and size of drives, and do make sure to include backups and maintenance.

  • What's the best order for mac os x?

    Hello, i was wandering about the best order for the RAM clips (when they're different in size, of course).
    Should i place my little one clip in the lower slot and my big one clip in the upper slot, or the opposite, ...or did mac os x worth about it for the performances to be better?
    Thanks for your comments.

    The slots are very specific about the kind of RAM they can accept. If you simply bought RAM based on the generic spec, you may have bought the wrong RAM. Be sure to buy from a vendor that is specific about your Mac model when asking for RAM. http://www.crucial.com/ has a much better handle than most in giving you the right RAM. The height of the module may affect clearance or heat or bus slewing issues with the logicboard, so be sure to put only the height that was already in the computer. If uncertain, find better instructions that show you. See my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/badram.html
    Mac OS X performance is best when you install exactly according to manufacturer spec, and not from some generic spec.

  • What's the best camcorder for mac and quicktime or youtube?

    Aloha all,
    Instead of iSight,,,, what is the best camcorder compatible for mac and transfering video to powerbook G4 and PPC G5 Quad and for use with youtube and or CitizenTube.... ?
    I have a Canon SD 500 this should be enough because only can down load a max of 10mb to youtube. But I cannot use as a webcam to pass straight to computer which is fine,. Any Suggestions???
    Mahalo REID

    You're welcome, Reid
    I was also wondering about microphones.
    Which microphone you use is your decision based on what you want to do and the level of quality you need. As explained in this kBase document, you have a wide range of choices of connections:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165044
    I use this Logitech USB Desktop Microphone for my iMovie voice-over, GarageBand podcasting, and other general purpose voice work. It works well for that, but it is obviously not a professional music quality mic.
    if the mic ... hooks up to the digital ... or the analog audio input?
    The simplest way to connect a mic to your G5 is via USB. That simplicity, adequate sound quality, and low price are the main reasons I chose my Logitech.
    If you need a higher quality (and price) mic for more critical applications, this site offers more information about GarageBand, including this page about microphones.
    ... are there digital optical microphones for the digital in on the G5?
    If there are, I would suggest you stay with analog microphones. I may be wrong, but from this Google search for digital microphones, it seems to me that digital microphones are largely subjects of engineering studies at this time. You might find a microphone pre-amp that takes analog microphone inputs but provides a digital output signal you could connect to your Mac's digital input if you really want or need to use your digital in port.

  • What is the best utility for mac book pro 10.10.2

    What is the best utility/ antivirus program for a mac book pro running 10.10.2.

    Drewski66 wrote:
    What is the best utility/ antivirus program for a mac book pro running 10.10.2.
    Nothing that is not already incorporated in OS X 10.10.2.
    There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
    You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
    Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
    Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up",  "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
    Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    "Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
    If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose:Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. Newly discovered Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.
    Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
    The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

  • I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I upgraded to lion. I tried to buy an audio book and download it to my nano like I have done at least 50 times before. Now the dialog box states that I need an ipod touch for the same function. MacBook Pro 2008 w/ m.trac

    I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?

    I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
    I truly appreciate any help I can get!
    Thanks again...

  • Why isn't the compass app for iOS 7 on my iPod touch 5?

    Updated my iPod touch to iOS 7.03, but I don't see the compass app? It says it's built in on the apple website.

    Can you find it in the app store? I found others of the 'built in' apps for download. Such as iMovie, Remote, AirPort utility etc.
    'Built in' may be the wrong term for them to use.

  • What is the safest and best browser for Macs?

  • What's the best webcam for Mac with tilt/pan/zoom?

    I am trying to find a good quality webcam to use for videoconferencing with my Mac (MacBook Air actually). The camera is to be positioned on the 60-inch screen on the wall in our boardroom so the built-in Facetime camera doesn't do the job. It needs to have tilt/pan/zoom (in software). When I started on this search I had no idea such a thing was going to be so hard to find. There is no shortage of such products for Windows but I can't find a single one for the Mac.
    There are a lot of webcams that claim to support Mac but on closer investigation not a single one of them (that I've found so far anyhow) provides any conrol features like tilt/pan/zoom - nor even brightness and contrast control for that matter. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places because it's hard to believe the Mac world really is lacking such products. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Would be much appreciated.

    You're most welcome, Julie.

    If you are still shopping, you might be able to find a compatible used camcorder at a local store that sells used cameras or electronics. One with a failed tape mechanism that otherwise works would likely be very low priced.  The same store may also have compact tripods.
    Because your MBA is so portable, it is easy to take with you so you can test any camcorder before you buy to be certain it meets your needs.
    dreamdoc wrote:... I also appreciate the reminder to close out my inquiry...

    I certainly did not intend any reminder.  As a user like you, I have not authority to remind or otherwise instruct you about your participation in Discussions.  As explained in ¶ 1.11 of Apple Support Communities - Terms of Use, the Apple Hosts would be the ones who would address any concerns with you if necessary.

  • HT5622 What is the best way to set up my kids ipod Touch?

    I've recently purchased two ipods for my kids. I'm not sure if I want to create two new Apple Ids for them. They use my computer and the music and photos on them. Now with the ipods having messaging and facetime on them do they need to have separate Apple ids? I like the fact that if they want to purchase an app I have to sign in my password. Any sugestions on how to set this up.

    Something else, if you haven't already purchased cases for the iPods (like a Lifeproof or Survivor) do it NOW!!! Sooner or later, kids being kids, the iPods will hit the floor, get taken outside, etc., and a broken iPod is no fun. These type of cases can prevent or at least minimize damage.

  • What is best browser for safari - google, chrome, yahoo?

    with all the security issues and enhancements in the past yea, I have a stupid question but want some opinions and input;
    I use Mavericks, and Apple mail. what is the best browser for my IMac?
    Thanks,
    Don

    That would be Apple's native browser Safari.
    But it's very important to keep your system software up to date.
    Your profile indicates your iMac is running v10.9.1.
    If that is the case, then you need to update to v10.9.2 ASAP.
    Download from here >  OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update
    Or click Software Update from your Apple drop down  menu.
