How can I make my mac secure enough to do banking

Hi. I'm an old Mac person who was a PC person (and still am) but I have a new Macbook. I want to make it secure enough to do banking and to be able to buy stuff. How do I do this here?
Currently I am hooked via a modem until I move and get my cable modem back.
Any help appreciated.

What are you doing currently to make your Windows PC secure enough or is that an effort in futility with Windows?
Assuming you are doing banking via web access, this is already provided by your bank as Kappy indicated. When using Apple's Safari web browser (or any up to date browser for OS X such as Firefox, Opera, etc.), there will be a secure sign or lock (with Safari shown at the top right hand corner of the browser window) when accessing a secure website such as your bank's website.
Same thing when making an online purchase via a website that is secure.

The last two times I used my credit cards over the internet they were compromised. How do I make my Mac secure?

The last two times I used my credit cards over the internet they were compromised. If someone is accessing this information how can I make my computer secure?

My guess is that it's not your Mac, it's the sites where you're inputting you information. Always look for the lock icon and to see if the vendor is using a secure https site, and then hope for the best. Nothing these days is completely secure.

How can I make my Mac Book Pro print to a Panasonic KX-MB772?

How can I make my Mac Book Pro OSX 6.8 talk to a Panasonic KX-MB772 printer?

You can't. The KX-MB722 is one of the few remaining printers in the class of devices called "Windows Printers" that has no on-board printing software -- it relies on a host computer to provide all of the software functionality and Panasonic only provides such software for certain versions of Microsoft Windows. In this case, it means a 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows (2000-XP, though it will probably reliably on Windows versions up to 7). Note that these devices are not guaranteed compatible with future versions of Windows either (Panasonic has already dropped software support for this model).
I'm pretty sure that the device doesn't support remote printing without the software either (e.g., you can't setup a computer with Windows on it, share the printer, and then print to the shared printer without their software).

How can I make my Mac compatible with windows?

NOT very computer literate so be clear please. I am just starting out as a Medical Transcriptionist and most companies will require MS Word and Windows XP operating systems. How on my Mac OSX 10.4 can I make it work?
Is there some software I can just download?
What do you know about "Fetch"? Someone was saying I could use that? HELP!
Is there a good place in the Apple site for me to get a little more computer know how or a good book someone could recommend? Thanks for listening to the newbie

You can buy Microsoft Office for Mac, and then you'll have Word.
You could use BootCamp, Parallels or Fusion to install Windows if you absolutely need it, but just having Microsoft Office will be enough for most people.
Fetch is just an FTP client. It's for transferring files between computers.
Here's a couple of sites to check out for basic information:

How can I make a photograph large enough for large format printing?

Is there a way to make an image larger on photoshop or illustrator? I will be printing on a large format latex printer. So the printer itself is excellent but its the image that i am struggling to acquire.
I have basic knowledge of the programmes but if you could explain it to me i could figure it out.....
I am aware of rasterize and vectors, but please could you explain how they work, and if that is my solution.
I want to keep the original photograph as realistic as possible (would prefer not to have it traced on illustrator) and from research it says simply increasing the image size amount of pixels on photoshop does not help...perhaps it does, if you know please help!
This will be a print for an interior wall of an exhibition trailer, and we want to cover all the walls. Plus in future we will be printing for vehicle wraps so I need this knowledge! Help me

Let e try to explain briefly...
"Is there a way to make an image larger on photoshop or illustrator? I will be printing on a large format latex printer. So the printer itself is excellent but its the image that i am struggling to acquire.
- The actual resolution necessary to print grand format depends on the printer. Most of the large-to-grand format inkjets print at 600dpi. Photoshop is the better application for sizig images, while Illustrator is the better application for sizing graphics ( ie., logos ) and type. Use Illustrator to layout both the images and the graphics. You typically would send the print vendor an appropriate PDF file ( that can be scaled ).

- You most certainly can use photographs in large format. The problem is you will have to setup the file scaled down. In some cases, the output will have to be assembled in sections. Let's take a section of 10 feet high x 36 feet long. You'd setup your Illustrator file 2.5 feet high x 9 feet long ( 25% ) or 30 inch x 108 inch to be enlarged at the printer 400%. Each time you enlarge an image 2x you cut its resolution in half. So, an image starting at 300ppi will end up at 75ppi. So, your image file would need to be 300ppi at 25%. 75ppi sounds low, right? In actuality, it is enough to print grand format and the image appears smooth. Now the question becomes, how do I get an image large enough in Photoshop? Remember, you'll need a 30" x 108" image plus bleed at 300ppi ( Placed in Illustrator at 100% ). There are applications like Genuine Fractals or Image Doctor's "Blowup" which will enlarge an image file without degradation. I use Genuine Fractals and the results are phenominal.

- It'll become easier as you do more of this type of work. The amount you end up scaling is up to you. There are limitations as to how big a document can be in Illustrator. I like 25% because it is similar to working on a print ad that is high resolution. Another thing to remember is set your raster effects to High in Illustrator. They will be retained in the PDF which will be enlarged 400% and the ending raster effects will be 75ppi just like the image. Also, feel free to contact the print vendor and ask them questions. You could send them what I've written here and see if they agree. Let me know if you have any further questions.

How can I make my mac SUPPORT ARABIC?!

I can't work on my mac whenever i wanna finish Arabic tasks, becuase arabic words never get connected!
how can I fix that? help me please!!!

You can swtich your Mac to view in Arabic by going to the Language & Text system preferences and then dragging Arabic to the top of the list. If Arabic is not in the list, then click the "Edit List..." button to enable it.
This will make any program that is localized to Arabic appear in Arabic.
Next, go to the Region section of these preferences and choose the one that best suits your needs. If you click the Show all regions checkbox then you will have options in this menu to view all Arabic regions as a submenu.
Finally, go to the Input Sources section, where you can check various Arabic keyboard layouts to enable them. Then check the "Show Input menu in menu bar" option at the bottom of the window, which will place a small menu extra to the right of your system menu bar at the top of your screen.
In this menu, you can select the enabled Arabic layouts, to use them if and when needed.

How can I make may Mac faster?

Whomever can help please advise.
1. Is there a way to defrag a Mac
2. Will Parallels 4 cause the the Mac to crash?
3. I need to make the Mac run faster, anything you can advise would be great.
Thanks,

Welcome to Apple Discussions
+1. Is there a way to defrag a Mac+
You shouldn't need to but if you must create a second Bootable volume and install Drive Genius on it then Boot from that volume and run the software, one of it's options is a full defragmentation.
+2. Will Parallels 4 cause the the Mac to crash?+
Parallels 5 is much better and faster than 4, neither will crash your Mac
+3. I need to make the Mac run faster, anything you can advise would be great.+
Upgrade the RAM and add as much as you can afford, most newer models will take 8GB

How can I make my Mac Indesign fonts look right on Windows machines?

I have a nice document formatted on my Mac that uses several "dfont" suitcases. They look like crap when my colleagues open them using InDesign on Windows. I can't see how to get those dfonts unpacked so I can give them to my Windows counterparts. Is there a really definitive resource on font handling for cross-platform environments?
Christian Harder

For best cross platform font compliance, get into the habit of using OTF versions of fonts. dfints are Mac only and should be avoided if a job is going to round trip between PC and Mac. The CS install disk comes with a good selection of OTF fonts.
PC true type fonts can load on a mac but mac true type won't load on a PC. So you can reformat the job on the PC with true type fonts and then copy and load the pc true types onto your mac. OTF fonts are designed to work on Macs and PCs.
