I am running OS 10.5.8 on an iMac. There is no security update issued for this operating system - it only covers 10.6. Is my comuter vulnerable? Do I need to do anything?
I'm still not clear why Apple only issued security updates for 10.6 and later. I assume they think we should all update our operating systems or maybe they are just focusing on the majority of users?
Apple has had a long standing policy of only supporting the current and previous operating system releases. Whether they decide to make an exception for even older releases is anyone's guess.
You can send them feedback to express your opinion.
Or does the new Trojan not affect older OS? I'd like to know , if anyone has information.
As far as is known, it does affect older unsupported releases. Disabling Java in your web browser is the current preventive approach (and that is a community derived approach)

Which would be funny if i havent already spent 3 1/2 hours trying to sort this. I am really not enjoying my adobe experience, never known such a difficult company to speak to a 'live' person. Now on hold for 29 minutes and need to go out so nothing to be done now until tomorrow. If there is a real person from Adobe reading this, i would appreciate a call/direct email to get this resolved. now 31 minutes and I have to hang up as need to go!!! aarrgghhh!!! -

Is it possible to run Labview ver 6.5 with PowerPC as the target CPU and VxWorks as the target operating system?
If version 6.5 does not support this configuration, do any of the later versions support it?
I have an Ada executable that's creating a buffer of data that's being fed to a Labview executable that's displaying the data in a GUI. We're re-architecting some legacy system hardware and I'm just trying to figure out if this configuration is even possible.
ThanksHi,
I never heard of LabVIEW6.5. I only know of LV6i, LV6.1 and LV7.0...
Why don't you just call your next/regional NI sales rep?
Best regards,

I basically have an Ada executable and Labview executable that currently run on a Sun Machine with Solaris as the operating system. I'm re-architecting the system hardware and will be getting rid of the Sun Machine and Solaris. I'm don't have any issues with the Ada executable, but I'm not sure what configurations Labview supports.duplicate post

Thank youWelcome to the Apple Community.
You should only get that message when you are trying to create a new account.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your mobile device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another device or computer. -
Need to upgrade processor for Lion operating system
How do I upgrade my MacBook Pro processor for Lion operating system?
I have the same question. I have a MacBook Pro 1,2 (yeah, oooooold) with the 2.16 Intel Core Duo, running Snow Leopard. If I'd waited another month before buying, it would've had the Core 2 Duo.
It would appear that I can't upgrade to Lion. I found one forum post that gives me hope, but I'm not holding my breath: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/84004-processor-upgrade.html#po st524333 It suggests that the CPU might not be soldered in. Which leads me to wonder if upgrading the processor is possible...
I'd like to know if upgrading the processor is possible and/or practical (as in, doesn't cost as much as buying a new mac). -
I am trying to install a new iPod Shuffle and my pc does not pick it up.
My operating system is Windows 8.1 and windows 8 does not appear
in the list of operating systems.You are referring to OFFICE 2010, not Windows XP or 7.
And which version of Windows do you have?
NEVER begin before you have a backup, ideally one you have tested and know works.
You don't really install Boot Camp, the Assistant is a partition tool utility.
You may just want Office 2008 for Mac.
If you need Office for Windows, perhaps run Windows in a VM like Parallels or Fusion.
Buy some backup drives and start using TimeMachine for one backup, then weekly backup with SuperDuper.
IF there is now a partition for Windows, all you need is to buy Windows, and I would recommend Windows 7 Home Premium (retail) which is about US$149.
Has nothing to do with free space. Office 2010 isn't to boot from. In fact, you can copy the disc to a folder (1.25GB) and run SETUP from there. -

Need to update my iphone 4 operation system
Bought my iphone 4 in sept 2011...have not updated my operating system since then...I need to find out how to do that...
Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 7.0.6 for devices with at least 512MB of RAM.

Help! I'm running out of space for my operating system.
I keep getting a message that my operating system is running out of space. I have 1.05 GB free. I'm not a novice with Mac, but do know Windows better. I would be happy to clean up my disk, but am not sure how to do it or if I can find a way to expand my memory.....
Any help?louisak,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
A startup hard drive showing 1 GB free on an computer running a flavor of Unix (which OS X is) can indeed be effectively running out of room. Unix makes heavy use of scratch and swap files on the hard drive; the amount of needed swap space varies depending on how much real RAM you have and how manu programs you run concurently, but 256 to 512 MB swap spac eon disk is common (this Mac currently shows 256 MB for 3 swap files in /private/var/vm even through only 72 MB of that is in use). In addition, if you burn -R or -RW optical discs, you'll need at least as much free space as the size of the dissc to allow creation of the temporary image file used in the burning, about 700 MB for CD-R and 4.7 GB for DVD-R. As a ballpark rule-of-thumb, minimum free hard drive space should be at least 1 GB (no optical disc burning), 2 GB (CD-R burning), or 5 GB (DVD-R burning), so the warning message you're seeing is expected.
It's critical that you free up space on the hard drive as soon as possible. In the interim, close out any programs you're not immediately using and try yo run no more than one program at a time. If a Unix computer does run out of hard drive space, it can be blocked from normal startup and leave you looking at booting into single-user mode to manually clear enough files to start up again.
There are a number of ways to free up hard drive space, depending on your comfort level rooting around the OS X System, how valuable your files are, and your budget. There are several utilities that can help you ID unneeded large files, but I'd be hesitant to download anything onto your computer until you free up at least 2 GB to work with. Start by going through your user data and trashing files you don't really need.
If you use Firefox, check the ~/Users/ [username]/ Library/ Application Support/ Firefox/ Profiles/ [text].default/ folder for excess backup bookmarks files (bookmarks-##.html); thise can take up about 1 MB each and you don't really need more than the latest backup (when I last checked my work Mac, there were about 200 backup bookmarks files, so that's a fair chunck of drive space).
Continue with the tips at The X-Lab's Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk. The easiest way by far to free up space on the startup drive is to add an external Firewire drive and move your iTunes / iPhoto libraries and other user date to that drive, then delete the originals from the startup hard drive. See How to move the iPhoto Library Folder to a new location and Moving your iTunes Music folder. The localization tips in the X-Lab link can also free up a significant amount of space, but pay heed to the warnings about not deleting things unless you know what it is you're deleteing, especially when it comes to System-level items.
If you've ever experienced a crash, especially while tring to burn a CD-R or DVD-R, there may be normally temporary files left behind on the hard drive. You can use a utility like OnyX and use it to clear temporary files, logs and caches and (especially) core files. (In Unix, a core file is a snapshot of the system at the time of a crash and is useful for code debugging, but unless you have a debugger installed the core files just take up space.)
Another useful utility is Whatsize, which lets you check file sizes. Use this to look for files ending in .tmp and the like. If you ID files you suspect can be trashed but aren't sure, post back witht he file's name and check in the Discussions for anyone who can say "sure, that's safe to trash" or "no, leave it alone". when trashing files, you can move things to the Trash but hold off emptying the Trash for a while to check that the computer operates normally.
