How should I protect my MBP?

I am thinking of getting a Speck SeeThru Transparent hardshell case because I want to protect my MB from scractes and at the same time, I can still see the aluminium skin of my MB.
But I have read a lot of reviews that it is just better to use a sleeve case for MB since the speck hardshell case add on weight and makes it more bulky.
So if I were to buy a sleeve case for my MB, does a protector film on the macbook cover is even neccessary?
And should I get a trackpad protector film?

Personal Choice !
I use Black Satin

The Apple logo shines through, it looks smart in my opinion.

due to the virus attack i had to format my windows laptop...now when i installed new itunes software i had to sync my ipod touch again but it says that if i do it then the data present on my ipod touch will be erased as it is syncd to some older library... how should i protect my ipod touch data?

With all you media (apps, music) in the iTunes library connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup.
Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

How should i protect accept() method from TooManyOpenFiles?

I am calling accept() method assuming it will always work, considering it might result in NULL, but i've noticed in some situations the accept will fail and result in a CPU problem because it fails and since i did not do anything with the failure the key might still be valid and it tries to accept over and over again.
What is the right thing to do here - should i surround with try-catch and it will not attempt to accept the connection again?
        SocketChannel channel = ((ServerSocketChannel) key.channel()).accept();
        if (channel != null)
            if (!isApprovedClient(channel))
                channel.close();
                channel = null;
                rejectedClients++;
                return;
            acceptedClients++;
            channel.configureBlocking(false);
            BasicContext context = onClientAccept(channel);
            context.setCurrentSocket(channel);
            context.setEstablishTime();
            channel.register(selector, SelectionKey.OP_READ, context);
            log.log(Level.FINER, "Added main-channel {0}", channel.socket().getInetAddress());
        }

and result in a CPU problemWhat CPU problem?
because it fails and since i did not do anything with the failure the key might still be validWhat key? The key of the ServerSocketChannel? It is valid until you close or deregister it. Nothing to do with accept failures.
and it tries to accept over and over again.If the accept fails there is no SocketChannel to leak/to be closed.

How should I protect my code?

Hi,
To start with I'd like to apologize if I've posted this question in the wrong forum. I wasn't quite sure where to post it.
Ok, here goes. I've gotten a contract to design a database connected website for a government organization. One of the conditions of the contract is that I have to provide them with 'access' to the source code for the system I write. I haven't done a licensing agreement for the project yet, but they've already been made aware that they will receive a license and will not be allowed to use any of the source code for purposes other than expanding their system. This is fine with them. Now here's where I'm at a loss of what to do...
I know there will be future contracts awarded to continue the development of this system. However, the future contracts will be for more money and will involve less work than the orignal contract I'm doing (it's the government and they really have no comprehension of what's involved). So, I basically want to fulfill my legal obligation of providing source code, but I want to make it as difficult as possible for someone to build into the system I write. Here's what I've come up with so far.
1. Try to get a licensing agreement that forces them to obtain written permission before modifying any source code for future development (which will be necessary).
2. I've seen programs that will make code very unreadable after it's been decompiled. Is there anything that will do a similar thing to source code? For example, remove all comments and rename all the variables to something like 'an5the32'.
I know this sounds kind of greedy, but the scope of this project is considerably larger than I realized (was led to believe) and without landing one of the future contracts I'm getting ripped off, so I really have no reservations about making things difficult for them. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you seen this site?
http://mindprod.com/unmainobfuscation.html
In all seriousness, there are several source code
obfuscation tools available, Just use Google and
search for "source obfuscator Java" or like.
Some of the products I found but never tested are:
http://www.semdesigns.com/Products/Formatters/Obfuscators.html
http://www.jdevelop.com/java-source-obfuscator.html
For byte code obfuscators to protect the binary from being decompiled, the links in
http://mindprod.com/jglossobfuscator.html
I found to be quite comprehensive..
BTW Out of all of them in the list,
I have evaluated Dash-O and Sourceguard.
I chose sourceguard but 4thpass chose to
abandon the product with no notice, soon
after we had bought it...
Software companies doing that kind of
thing should not last long, but anyways,
Good luck, and happy obfuscating!

How can I protect my data in numbers from unintentional user of my iPad by other family members? In other words, how can I password protect my numbers and other apps from apple computer company?

I have other members of my family use my iPad for educational/recreational use, young children who may want to play kid games. I don't want them to accdently get into my data stored in the three business apps from apple. I would like to password protect these files.
I would also like to log out of the email systems that I use, so some one else can use this device to access their own emails. By leaving my accounts open al the time, is really asking for trouble from a host of sources.
I can't believe that the iPad is not designed to protect the privacy and data from prying eyes ... Un intuitional as it may be.
Please fix this issue so I create my info on this device and enjoy it fully. Or tell me how I can protect my data.
Thnax.

Thanx for your response. Any data stored anywhere should be able to be protected from stealing, malicious destruction or unintentional destruction. Theo ad an be stolen and without any kind ofpassword protection, the thief could get into your sensitive data.
If Apple wants iPad to become a business tool that can be used with ideas, thots, data protected, then Apple needs to provide this protection to it's customers. Now it's unto the users to use it or not.
I know iPad is being considered to be used by doctors, and can u imagine the confidentiality requirements of HIPPA rules... It will make this device not usable without data protection. I am sureweall have heard about hacking going on at all levels. It's surprising that this device's software is left unprotected.
My iPad may be sitting on my desk and my 3 year old grand daughter would pick it up and start "playing" with it. That means I can't store anything on this machine that may possibly be changed.
I have discussed this with specialists in apple stores, and those who have been around info technology understand my concerns and they may forward this request further up. They do not have the answer for it..... So far.
I think data security should be everyone's concern... Be it a one person device or multiple user device.
I hope that some responsible people at Apple would read this and provide the protection that will make this device lot more acceptable in the business world.

I love Apple and I use all product. iPhone 3,3s,4,4s,5, iPad and Mac Air(now no more 3,3s and 4)... Only one thing I want to know is... What can I do if some one spy on my phone? How do I protect all my stuff that I put in my phone?

the only way that anyone would be able to see anything at all on your phone is if they knew your apple id password, or they were looking over your shoulder
if you are concerned that someone may know your apple id password, please change it at appleid.apple.com

One of these should work, depending on the projector. Just note both will not allow you to play protected movies on the projector.

How will I download from MBP 17'' 2006 to MB Air 2012?

I was planning to buy a MacBook Air in the New Year but wonder how I will connect my MBP and whether all my MBP accesories will be obsolete. Is there an adapter that will connect from a firewire 800 to Thunderbolt? I have an iPad 2 and an Air printer, MB Air would allow me to use iCloud and be much lighter when travelling between Spain and the UK. If the MB Air is suitable I would then use my excellent MBP purely as a desktop. Hoping someomene out there knows the answer - ThanQ

ThanQ for that suggeation. Can you please tell me if the earlier reported problems with the Apple USB ethernet adapter have now been solved and what sort of download speed/time I should expect to get with ethernet?

How can I protect formulae in a newly created spreadsheet without locking the whole sheet ?

How can I protect formulae from being overwritten on a newly created spreadsheet without locking the whole sheet ?

Olly,
I'll be picky here on nomenclature ;-)
Tables and other Obects can be locked, but Sheets can't be locked.
If you wish to shield some parts of your content from accidental modification, arrange your layout to put that sensitive content in tables separate from the tables that need to be accessed, and lock the sensitive ones. It's also possible, but rather clunky, to place shields over the sensitive area. A shield can be made by Inserting a Shape and positioning the shape over the sensitive area. With the shape selected, go to the Graphics Inpector and set the Opacity of the shape to zero. You will then be able to see through the shape but will no be able to Click through it to get at the cells below. This method is inconvenient because you have to worry about keeping the shape aligned with the table should the table need to change size or shape.

How I can keep my MBP nice and speedy?

I finally jumped out of my Windows and into a Mac. I have used a Macbook at work for 3 years with very little trouble. I am an educator who lost my job right after I invested in a Macbook Pro and it seems to FREEZE UP frequently. I have seen the "spinning rainbow wheel of death" more times than I can recall. I have had the machine exactly 1 month.
Someone mentioned to me that it may be my Office 2008; the scripts don't seem to play nicely. I am at a loss. I invested in this because I wanted less drama than my "Dell from ****."
Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can keep my MBP nice and speedy?
Is there a limit to how many applications I should have on the dock?
Should I keep everything off of the desktop?
I am also a web developer and I have been using:
adobe CS4 web suite.
Captivate
Second Life
Firefox (With many plug-ins)
MAMP Pro
ITUNES
Office 2008
Imovie
Frequently.
I don't turn it off everyday.
My system is as follows:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s
Maybe I can get some pointers to minimize this drama, so before I start screaming at Apple, I thought that I would check with my peers in this wonderful online community.
I am open to technical advice and personal philosophy.
Thank you for your help in advance!

Get Onyx. It has some automated scripts that keep your mac's performance really good.
Personally, I'd try using Onyx, if that doesn't help, just put your Ma OSX Install DVD inside, boot from it and install the OS again. All files and settings will be left intact (don't forget to update your system after installing it).
Make sure you have the latest Office version installed, as earlier versions are known to disable some system tasks, therefore making OSX unstable.

How to password protect a numbers document

I'm trying to figure out how to password protect a numbers document.
My intention is to load this document onto a website, but only want authorized persons with the correct password to be able to access.
Any ideas??
Thanks

I am using Numbers 08
And the Numbers User Guide, supplied with iWork '08, make no mention of password protection, which was introduced in Numbers '09.
Looks like the best option is Wayne's second suggestion—open via File > Print > PDF > Open in Preview, then Save the resulting PDF document with encryption turned on.
An alternate, if you want the recipients to receive a copy of the Numbers '08 file, and to be able to edit that file, you could enclose it in a secure disk image file.
The basic procedure is to:
Use Disk Utility to create a new, blank, sparse disk image, assign a password and save.
Double-click the .dmg file (and enter the password when requested) to mount the disk image on your desktop, then Save a copy of your file to the (open) disk image.
When done, eject the image, and upload the (encrypted) .dmg file to the website.
Detailed instructions may be found in Disk Utility's Help files.
Launch DU (found in the Utilities folder in Applications), click the Help menu and choose Disk Utility help.
Go to the index, scroll to and click Security, then click a title similar to "Protecting confidential documents in a secure disk image." (a search on 'confidential' should also take you to a list containing that title.)
My version of DU is old enough that sparse images hadn't been introduced, or I'd post a copy of the article here.

How so I protect my root file system? - x86 solaris 10 - zfs data pools

Hello all:
I'm new to ZFS and am trying to understand it better before I start building a new file server. I'm looking for a low cost file server for smaller projects I support and would like to use the ZFS capabilities. If I install Solaris 10 on a x86 platform and add a bunch of drives to it to create a zpool (raidz), how do I protect my root filesystem? The files in the ZFS file system are well protected, but what about my operating system files down in the root ufs filesystem? If the root filesystem gets corrupted, do I lose the zfs filesystem too? or can I independantly rebuild the root filesystem and just remount the zfs filesystem? Should I install solaris 10 on a mirrored set of drives? Can the root filesystem be zfs too? I'd like to be able to use a fairly simple PC to do this, perhaps one that doesn't have built in raid. I'm not looking for 10 terabytes of storage, maybe just four 500gb sata disks connected into a raidz zpool.
thanks,

You could use Sun Volume Manager to create a mirror for your root filesystem.
The files in the ZFS file system are well protected, but what about my operating system files down in the root ufs filesystem? If the root filesystem gets corrupted, do I lose the zfs filesystem too?No. They're separate filesystems.
or can I independantly rebuild the root filesystem and just remount the zfs filesystem? Yes. (Actually, you can import the ZFS pool you created).
Should I install solaris 10 on a mirrored set of drives?If you have one, that would work as well.
Can the root filesystem be zfs too?Not currently in Solaris 10. The initial root support in OpenSolaris will require the root pool be only a single disk or mirrors. No striping, no raidz.

How do I protect and embedded database from reverse engineering, hackers?

Hello,
I have an application that needs to be shipped to the customers with an embedded database that consists of critical application dependent data. The problem is that this data is top-secret information that for no reason should get in the hands of someone else because all the company value lies in this data. So my question is:
How can I protect this data that are being shipped embedded in the application from hackers, reverse engineering etc? Is it even possible?
Or is it secure enough to have the database credentials stored in the source code? Can reverse engineering get these credentials from the compiled application?

How should i setup my Alias iCloud email to be my the DEFAULT email?

Is there is a way to setup my Alias iCloud email to be my the defualt email?
Please advice
Thank you in advance

Thank you Roger for your quick responde, really appreciate it, however; this is not actually what am looking for, it helps though.
Lets say for example that you create a new iCloud account and called ([email protected]) then later on, you created an Alias for that account and called ([email protected]).
Now, the ([email protected]) is your default email account which you use to login through iClould.com, restore your i device and so on, however; you can't use your Alias email ([email protected]) for this things, because basically its not your default account.
My question is, how should i setup ([email protected]) to replace ([email protected]) to be my default iCloud account?

How to use Protected event CLICK_ROW_COL of cl_gui_alv_grid.

I've worked with Double_click,Hotspot_click events of Cl_gui_alv grid class quite comfortable as they are Public.
But i'm unable to work with click_row_col..
Could u tell me how to use protected event click_row_col..

Hi Ilayarajaramana
Did you try to build up a subclass of cl_gui_alv_grid and access the protected events via the subclass?
You could e.g. throw an own public event every time the click_row_col event is risen.
I know this isn't the best way, but it should work.
Kind Regards,
Sebastian
