HT1338 Help, I need to update my OS to Lion. What is the best way? I have a Macbook Pro 2008
I'm late in updating my OS to Lion. Im on a MacBook Pro 2008. does anyone have advice as to the best way to proceed?
Click here and read all of the steps to the bottom; if you want to upgrade to 10.7 but not 10.8 for some reason, instead of buying 10.8 from the Mac App Store, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.

What is the best antivirus software for a Macbook Pro...I recently received a message from Google that someone made an attempt to hack into my mail account and I needed to change my PW and verify myself as the user. The message suggested that I run a virus scan to check for sny malware or other types of viruses. I do not have any software for this and up until now have not had a problem....any help is appreciated. I would like a simple but effective solution!
It's worth noting that if your Gmail has been hacked, it would likely have nothing to do with your MacBook. Hacking web based email is fairly common and it doesn't require any access to your machine whatsoever. In the same way that you can simply go to the Gmail webpage through any browser, any hacker can use the same method. It doesn't mean your machine has been compromised in any way (and it has likely not been). I have never received an email from Google of this nature. I have received notifications when someone has attempted to create an account with my name in which they basically say that there is no action required if you're the rightful owner.

Need to download a youtube video. What's the best way?
Hi. I need to download a youtube video. I need a safe program, preferably free. Don't want one that adds a bunch of junk to my computer. What do you recommend?
If you uploaded, why again did you need to download it?
YES, you can download your OWN content as per Google, correct.
Use firefox and use the Firefox addon.....
search for the addon here, I will not list it:

So apple requests that you back up your device before taking it in plus it's time to secure my photos and such so that I can have them in case my phone gives out. However, the hard drive on my computer is full and it does not have room to take all my photos through iPhoto and other things on my phone that I want backed up. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to where I should back it up. I have the standard 5 gb of iCloud but my pictures alone at more than 5 gb. Is it worth buying extra iCloud space or should I get an external drive for my computer? How would that work when transferring from my phone to the external drive and not storing it on my computer...
What computer do you have?
What operating system is it running?

I finally was successful in burning a CD of a slideshow I created in iPhoto, however, it is blurry. What is the best way to burn to a CD or DVD for clarity. Also, I realize if burned in iPhoto it will only be playable in iPhoto. Help! This is needed soon for a wedding reception!
What version of iPhoto are you using? How do you plan to view the slideshow at the wedding reception, on a TV screen? If so then you will need to send the slideshow to iDVD and burn a disk from there.
If you're in iPhoto 11 and the slideshow was created in the slideshow mode and not from an album, then go to the Share menu and select iDVD. That will create a QT movie of the slideshow and import it into iDVD.
In iDVD select your theme and setup the menu as you'd like. If you want the movie to begin plahying immediately when the disk is inserted into the DVD player go into the Gallery mode and drag the movie into the Autostart bin at the left.
Click to view full size
If you want the movie to loop continuously go to the Advanced menu and select Loop.
Click to view full size
When you're finished setting upb the iDVD project save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will allow you to check it with DVD Player before tryingto burn to disk. Mount the disk imnage by double clicking on it and launch DVD Player and play. If the movie plays as you want and everything is good you can burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

What is the best way to update Currency information in SRM?
Dear Experts,
there was additional information introduced in R/3, with respect to a certain currency (this currecy got a second abbreviation, whereas the first abbreviation was set as the primary ISO code).
Can you please help me understand, what is the best way to get this additional information updated in SRM 7.0 (Classic)?
- Do we replicate via the DNL_CUS_BASIS3 object?...and if yes, do we replicate from Development R/3 system to development SRM system and than transport it to SRM Quality and Production...or do we replicate level by level, i.e. from R/3 development to SRM development and than from R/3 Quality to SRM Quality and so on...
OR
- Do we update this change manually in SRM Development and than transport it to SRM Quality and Production?
Thank you very much.Please elabotate what additional information regarding currency you need to update.
As per std. SRM we may use "BBP_GET_CURRENCY" that will update currency details from ECC to SRM.
But always you may add on required fields as required using enhancements. -
What is the best way to update Windows 7 Boot from 32bit to 64bit?
I'm sure this has been answered a number of times, but I can't quite seem to get a search query that takes me where I want to be. Here's the issue.
I have a Macbook Pro 15" Early 2011. I just put 8GB of RAM in it, replacing the stock 4GB. I use Boot Camp to run Windows 7 32bit, which can only use so much of the 8GB RAM (2.16 useable). I've read around and understand I'll need to update to 64bit Windows. What's the most painless way to do this with Boot Camp that will preserve all my files on the Windows 7 boot.
Thank you for your help in advance.radioactivepal wrote:
So, I should back up Windows 7 while in Windows or should I do that with Boot Camp? I'm a bit confused about the process in general.
You can not 'upgrade' 32bit Windows to 64bit 'inplace'. You will need to perform a custom install, this will erase you existing 32bit installation entirely. Then you can install the 64bit version and all your programs.
How much Ram do you have?
Sorry about that question, I read slower than I type
Don't forget to make a full backup of your Windows files before you start the installation, they will not be there after you finish. -
My wife and I each have our own email address and calendar. These are on one IPad. The Ipad has a single ICloud account.
What's the best way to backup both Calendars, etc? Does ICloud automatically back up every account on the same IPad? (I checked ICloud, but I could only find my stuff.)
Thanks for any help!
AlanFirst, you need to understand that there's a difference between "syncing" and "backup". Backup is the saving of content and settings, where syncing is the bidirectional transfer of content for an account to a web-based server (like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
If you see your calendar in your iCloud account, that implies that you have set up your iCloud account to host (sync) your calendar, and perhaps contacts, email, and notes. An iCloud account can only sync one user's information at a time so it is intended to support a single user. You can have more than one iCloud account, and you can even have more than one iCloud account on the same device (but one has to be primary, and the secondary iCloud has limited capabilities), but a single iCloud account only supports a single user's content.
Backup is the saving of your device's content and settings to use in case you need to recover these things, but you can't see the contents of your backup (just the size and device name). You can backup more than one device to iCloud and you can backup to iCloud or you can backup to your computer, or both (one at a time though, you have to choose).
So, if your wife has her own email and calendar she can certainly do that in parallel to whatever account(s) you have for email and calendar. But if you have only one iCloud account then only one of you can use it for email, calendar, etc. But the backup of these accounts is really just a backup of the device's settings that link the device to these accounts. For example, if she uses Gmail then the backup of the iPad only backs up the fact that your iPad is set up to use her account, it does not backup the account itself (the content of her account is saved and preserved on Google's servers, not your device's backup).
Does that make better sense? -

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

What is the best way to deploy/update custom security realm classes to WLS 6.0?
From the WLS 6.0 console, I see that I can specify the Java class that
implements my custom security realm but I am wondering what is the best way
to deploy/update this code. I don't see a way to do this from the console.
Does this mean that I have to manually copy the class files over that
implement my custom security realm?Thanks Danut,
A jar file seems to be a good way to package it up but it sounds like it
still needs to be manually copied to each Weblogic server install directory
post-installation and whenever it is updated. I thought it would be nice to
be able to deploy/update the custom security realm by uploading it through
the Console just as you can with web applications and EJBs.

You have to have your Custom Realm class in the class path. I usually havea
jar file with all the Custom Realm classes and that jar I copy it in thelib
folder. Then I modify "startWebLogic.cmd" and I add to the classpath
".\lib\CustomRealm.jar"
set
CLASSPATH=.;.\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;.\lib\weblogic.jar;.\lib\CustomRealm.jar;

Be aware that in order to have you custom realm besides creating thecustom
realm using the console you also have to create a custom caching andchoose
that one as your default caching realm.
Here is how the security settings are looking in my "config.xml"
<CustomRealm Name="CustomRealm"
RealmClassName="Custom.appserver.weblogic.security.CustomRealm"/>
<CachingRealm BasicRealm="CustomRealm" CacheCaseSensitive="true"
Name="CustomCachingRealm"/>
<Realm CachingRealm="CustomCachingRealm" FileRealm="wl_default_file_realm"
Name="wl_default_realm"/>
<FileRealm Name="wl_default_file_realm"/>
<Security GuestDisabled="false"
Name="mydomain" PasswordPolicy="wl_default_password_policy"

What's the best way to update my Mac with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?
I've been getting prompts whenever I look at certain websites to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. I'm skeptical as to responding to those prompts. What is the best way to update my Mac Pro with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?
You might also want to consider uninstalling Adobe Flash... I currently don't have it installed and haven't needed to install it. Most websites are now coded in HTML 5 so that the iOS devices can actually visit them. I can still watch YouTube videos et al. About the only thing I can't do is play Flash games... but they're a resource hog anyways.
Try going without for a day or two and see just how many sites you visit no longer require it. A lot of people keep it installed out of habit, not out of necessity. If you have Flash installed, visit a site and it's out of date, it will tell you to update your Flash. What it won't do is tell you is that had Flash not been installed, it would have used the HTML 5 code instead. Think about it... if an iOS device can't run Flash at all... it can't visit this site if it were written only to use Flash. What site would eliminate such a huge portion of their market base? You'd be surprised at how many sites use HTML 5. Uninstall Flash and see for yourself. -

What is the best way to remotely access my sister in laws Mac who lives in another city to help her with her computer problems?The best way? Get her to bring it to you, especially if she makes good cakes.
Apples Back to my Mac isn't really suitable for this - it is designed for a single person who wants their Apple ID on the system. It would mean she would have to share hers with you & you would also have to setup her Apple ID on your Mac - it is messy & causes trouble with iCloud, iTunes etc.
You can try Messages if she is able to begin a session with you, see the 'invite to share screen' in the menus, weirdly you need to use a service that isn't from Apple.
Messages (Mavericks): Share your screen
It may be better if you to setup LogMeIn or GoToMyPC. They should 'dial out' & maintain a constant connection so you can login whenever the Mac is powered up. It won't, require a human to initiate the process at the other end, just be aware that the router may cause issues depending on what is configured, you may need settings to enable automatic port forwarding - it really depend on which option you choose. -
What is the best way to get another object's method to update my GUI?
package stuff;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Test extends JFrame{
private static JButton ProcessButton = new JButton();
private static JLabel jLabel2 = new JLabel();
public static void main( String args []){
Test f = new Test();
f.setSize(500,500);
Container c = f.getContentPane();
ProcessButton.addActionListener( new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
jLabel2.setText("Connecting to DB");
//Connection connection = Tools.setUpConnectionToDB(url,userName,pwd);
c.add(ProcessButton, BorderLayout.NORTH);
jLabel2.setText("My Label");
c.add(jLabel2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
f.setVisible(true);
{\code]
The method setUpConnectionToDB can take 1 - 10 mins to complete. By this time a user will prob have quit my app thinking
it's crashed because it doesn't update the GUI with a progress status. :(
What is the best way to get this method to update the GUI of the app which calls it?
Something like Connection connection = Tools.setUpConnectionToDB(url,userName,pwd, this);
ie this being a reference to the GUI's JFrame is what I'm trying to use?A handy class to know about but not really what I'm after.
I need the method call
Tools.setUpConnectionToDB(url,userName,pwd);
to be able to update a component ( The JLabel ) on the GUI
Connection connection = Tools.setUpConnectionToDB(url,userName,pwd, this);
[\code]
method defn:public static Connection setUpConnectionToDB( String url, String user, String pwd, JFrame f ){
//Why doesn't this code below modify the GUI on the calling App?
f.jLabel2.setText("Setting UP DB Connection");
f.repaint();
Connection c = null;
try{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
c = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,pwd);
catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null , "Error loading DB driver");
System.exit(0);
catch(Exception e){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null , "Error connecting to DB, check config file");
System.exit(0);
