OS X will automatically block versions of Flash that are known to be unsafe. As long as Flash is kept up to date, it's reasonably safe. You can minimize your exposure to Flash content by installing the "ClickToFlash" or "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension. Flash elements will then load only when clicked.

What do I need to do to remove me when I sell my MacBook Pro?

Hi. I have a new MacBook Pro and am I'm selling my old one -- what do I need to delete? Will deleting my user account take care of all my personalized data or must I go into Preferences and data logs, etc.?

Just do a clean install of the system, make sure it does not keep a copy of your old system. If don't want to leave any trace, while installing the system go to disk utility and format the hd (0 level format)

What kind of longevity can I expect from the SSD in a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

Hi all,
I recently ordered a new MacBook Pro with the Retina Display. This will be both my first computer and my first Mac that uses a SSD as the primary storage device. As the title of this post suggests, what I would like to know is what sort of lifespan/longevity can I expect to get out of it? My current MacBook Pro was manufactured in 2007 and has a stock 160GB Fujitsu hard drive that has been fantastic for me over the past 4-5 years. It continues to run like a champ, and I would hope that a brand new SSD would be able to last at least that long. Given that the new retina MBPs cannot be upgraded or (easily) user-serviced, I am somewhat curious to know whether or not Apple's new proprietary SSD modules will give out/slow to a crawl before/after my new machine becomes completely obsolete. I have been searching for articles published within the past few months on whether or not the current crop of SSDs on the market are more reliable than those introduced a year or two ago, but alas, I haven't had much luck. Perhaps it is still too early to tell?
I found a few discussion threads on here somewhere where some users indicated that their original MacBook Airs, or other SSD-equipped MacBooks, were still performing quite well and responsively after a few years of use. Can anyone substantiate this for me? How long have you been using your SSD(s) in your Mac(s), and do you think the newer models will be able to last several years? I would greatly appreciate any insight.

While I think your concern is legitimate (it was mine too), I think to some extent, how long they last will be up to you. The individual cells in the flash media in an SSD have limited life spans, and SSD controllers have a variety of techniques to spread that wear around evenly (wear leveling). That wear is exacerbated by the controller having to erase a whole block of data when even just one page needs to be changed, and if not all the data in the block is still valid, more data than necessary gets moved (write amplification). To provide some extra room for all this reshuffling of data, SSD manufacturers build in extra space that's inaccessible to the user (over-provisioning), but it typically runs about 7%. (This is a good discussion of the inner workings of all this)
If you stuff your SSD full of files, so that there's very little room to do all this rearranging, I think you'll experience the slowdown you're concerned about. TRIM, which Apple's SSD's support, will help, but you can too. Allow plenty of free space on your SSD and perhaps partition it so that there is free space outside the partition (check this out to see what a difference it can make). You can't use it but the controller can as an extension of the built-in over-provisioning.
You also mention that you "will most likely use it to record several tracks and store my growing library of songs and videos." Why not instead use an external SSD connected via USB 3.0 for storage? They're relatively cheap, very fast, and keep the space on your internal working drive free. A BootCamp partition would also take up space, so you might consider using Windows in a Virtual Machine instead. VMware Fusion or Parallels would be installed on the internal SSD but the virtual machine files could go on the external.
In any case, your data is more important than your SSD, so back up, back up, back up.

Just bought a new MacBook pro to replace my old PC. I have LR 4 on disk and LR 5 upgrade on disk and need to know how to load LR on my new Macbook Pro. Also how do I transfer photos?

I'm not very good with computers and need help. My LR 4 and LR 5 upgrade are on disk but my new MacBook Pro doesn't use disk. How do I load LR on my new computer? Also, how do I get the photos from LR on my old computer to the new computer?

You can download Lightroom thru the link(s) below. If you only want to install the version 5 upgrade you do not need to install 4 first - you likely just need to provide the serial number for it when you activate 5.
Lightroom - all versions
Windows

Mac

As far as transferring photos goes, that is something you might get help for in the Photoshop Lightroom forum. But you could wait here and see if anyone knows, or you could search Google and probably find out how.

HT3775 Quicktime 10.2 (603.6), it won't play .AVI files

I have Quicktime 10.2 (603.6), it won't play .AVI files, tells me "file format isn't recognized" the above article says it does play .AVI files, what gives?

There isn't a codec installed which can handle that specific AVI file; AVI is a container, not a format. Try installing Perian.

Need to get photos and music from iphone to new macbook pro

I gave my old macbook pro to my daughter and bought a new one. However, i need to find out how to get my music, photos, etc from my iphone onto my new computer. When I try to sync i get the message my iphone contents will be erased and replaced with computer's content. Help!

Photos can be offloaded to any computer. If a computer does not have iTunes installed, it treats the iPhone as a camera and gives an option to save the photos.
Anyway, photo's aren't synced are they. They are always stored on the iPhone and never a part of a backup.

Ibook won't boot up and I need to transfer files to my new Macbook Pro

My 2004 ibook G4 was being very intermittent for a few weeks on boot up. Sometimes it would go through boot up process but then the screen would be all weird nothing recognizable just colours. Then it wouldn't get past the Apple sound at boot up. now it starts bootup for a split second then nothing, and nothing on the screen, after a few minutes the fan comes on louder then normal.
Thanks in advance for any HELP!

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Try booting from the iBook install disc. Run Disk Utility in case there are errors on the startup disk that need repairing.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
*(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space
Also, try connecting the MBPro to the iBookG4 with a Firewire cable to see if you can use the Migration Assistant.
Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac You might be able to access files on the iBook that way if necessary.

What happens to files migrated to new macbook pro?

When I migrate files to my new macbook pro are they removed from my pc or just copied? Will my MS Word files open with "Pages"? Will my MS Excel files open with "Numbers"?

Just copied.
This may be of interest.

HT2518 Migration assistant can't find my external drive - I ran the disk utility on it and it checked out. What can I do - I am trying to transfer PC files to my new MacBook Pro. Thanks

Hi,
Wonder if someone has a suggestion for getting Migration assistant to recognize my external drive so that I can transfer some PC files from it to my MacBook Pro? I have been opening files in the drive with the Mac without a problem and I ran the diagnostics utility and the drive verified. Still, migration assistant spins and spins without finding anything. There's a lot of files and doing it manually with take days.
Thanks!

Personally I have always used the manual method for moving my files over to a new iMac and never use Migration Assistant.
Go to the Apple drop down menu and select Force Quit.. and if Migration Assistant has failed, force quit it and try re-launching it again from your Applications Utility folder.
