I have a Mac late 06 with lion and want to know what is the best protection/security to get, Mc Fee, or Norton,or...

None of the above.
Norton in particular is anathema.
You have Apple's Xprotect system built-in. malware definitions are updated at each Security Update.
If you feel the need for belt & braces, ClamXAV is the (free) tool of choice.
Your best security is still the stuff between your ears. Don't click on pop-up links telling you need a new codec or (especially) Flash Player. Use your common sense and you'll stay ahead of the industry.

My solution, which is not much, is to restart iPhoto and it then connects to the Internet. This has been an ongoing unsolved problem.

How to run FCP 6 (FCS 2) under Lion.
The installer for FCP 6 (FCS 2) is a PPC app. The Programs themselves are Intel. If your trying to install FCP 6 (FCS 2) this work-around will work...
First you need to install Rosetta from your Snow Leopard OS installation disc:

After doing that you can install FCP 6 (FCS 2). Remember, after installing FCP 6 (FCS 2) you need to apply the updates. This has been discuss many times in the Final Cut Studio forum.

''Problem:'' For whatever reason, NoScript is stopping Runescape Community Toolbar from working properly which freezes your first Firefox window.
''Fix:'' Uninstall the toolbar. Disable NoScript. Install the toolbar. Add your RS account to it and make sure it works, then Enable NoScript again.
EDIT: Posted a fix earlier that was wrong. Corrected to the right one, sorry ^_^ Answer was on Runescape Forums.

I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
Keep copies of the originals.
Another option might be to try to install Perian. Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

I want to install hybrid drive in Macbook pro. I bought my Mac book with lion and am now running mountain lion. I was told I needed install disk to set up new drive before restoring from my time capsule.Is this correct and if so how do I get disk osx10?

I purchased a Mac book Pro in Aug 2012 with lion and have upgraded to mountain lion. I currently am looking to install the segate 750 gig hybrid drive. I watching video I shows me needing a OSX 10 disk to boot off of when the new disk is in and the use time capsule to restore system from back up drive to new hybrid. Hope I got this correct so far. that being said my Mac Book did not come with a disk therefore is one available, when I get to point of restoring from back up with it be the same mountain lion system I had. Sorr if this sounds redudant.. Thank you in advance

Connect the new hybrid drive to your MBP. Start up your MBP holding the OPTION key, the two HDD icons will appear. Select the 'restore' icon on the right. When you get to the menu where you have 4 options, select Disk Utility. Format the drive and then you can use the option of restoring it from Time Machine.

I have a Mac os with Lion. I want to make a photo mosaic but can't find software to do this.

I am looking for a software program for my Mac os with Lion that i can use to make photo mosaics.

Sorry, I had a different idea of "mosaic"
If you want to create something like a collage or a puzzle iPhoto is not the right application.
Unfortunately you hav to use a seperate application for this. I'm pretty sure you will find a matching App in the App-Store.

Is there something very wrong with Lion and Fcp x or what?

I have just spent a very frustrating two weeks editing a one hour fifteen minute project on FCP X with Lion as the operating system. Every edit session has been plagued with crashes. My mac is a 21.2 inch, with an I7 processor and 12gig of ram which I bought the middle of this year. I had set my computer up with two partitions, one with Lion and the other with Snow leopard. This morning, in an effort to improve the terrible instability of FCP X under Lion I decided to try it under Snow Leopard......What an unbelievable difference.....I've been editing for the last three hours now throwing all kinds of clips and effects and so forth at the timeline and have not experienced one crash. What is going on here? How can Lion and FCP X be so incompatible?

You don't mention whether this one hour and fifteen minutes long project consisted of just one FCP X project when you experienced problems with FCP X and Lion?
You also don't mention how long the project was that you edited successfully with Snow Leopard. If, as I suspect, this was a very short 'test' project, that would make sense. FCP X does not cope well with long projects.
I use Lion exclusively but I keep my projects to a maximum of 30 minutes (preferably no more than 20 mins). If the total programme is longer, I make create several FCP X projects - each being a 'chapter' of the main programme. When finished, I make compound clips of all the 'chapters' then I paste them into a new (full length) project.
I'm not pretending FCP X is perfect, but for me at least, it's very workable as long as you understand it's weaknesses. I have 16 GB RAM and since I upgraded from the 8 GB I had previously, it's made a huge difference.
If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system and use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended.
Other ways to improve performance:
Create optimised media.
Hide Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power.
Create folders in the Project library and put any projects you are not working on currently, in there. (Twirl it closed to hide them).
Move your Projects and Events to an external HD (make sure it's formatted OS Extended - with journaled on or off) and run from there.

I have a BTHome Hub3 with infinity and used to use my TC wirelessly, I can't seem to get it to stay connected revert to my original back up

I have a BTHome Hub3 with infinity and used to use my TC wirelessly. Since I changed I cannot get my TC to stay connected, nor can I access the previously stored backups or files I had stored on it. I don't want to use an Earthnet cable. I can't get it to connect or stay connected to my MacMini either.

HELP ME PLEASE!!

I have a mac book with snow leopard. Can I upgrade to the lion os

I have a mac book ( couple years old) and would like to know if I am able to install the lion OS from the app store?

We would need more details regarding your MacBook. But it has to be minimum Core2Duo processor and 2GB of RAM. If you go to the Apple Menu select About this Mac for the info.

HT4718 Hello all, was upgrading my mac to mountain lion and it was downloading now it is paused. How do i get it to start again?

I am very new to the MAC, had snow leaopard and wanted to upgrade to mountain lion.. I am on hour #8. I know its because i have no idea what I am doing so can someone please help.

Click on the Pause icon to restart the download.

Keeps telling me my file does not have a program associated with it and go to folder options in the control pane. Where is it located

When I try to save a file the download window keeps coming up. When I click to open the erro message says "File does not have a program associated with it for performing this function. Create an association in the folder options control panel." Where is this control panel and what kind of association do I make. Usually it was adobe but I don't have that choice

Try using this link first https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file?esab=a&s=File+does+not+have+a+program+associated+with+it+for+performing+this+function&r=0&as=s
Also it could be the type of file you are downloading. Like if it was a type of text that your default word processor did not accept it would give you that message.
Hope this helps,

I have tried to download Mt. Lion and twice it has failed. The third time the icon appeared and waiting to download, but it never occurred. I have purchased the upgrade but have yet to successfully download it. What is happening?

I recently purchased the Mt. Lion upgrade and have tried to download the system software but each time, there was a problem. The first was an error message 404, and I had to retry downloading. The second time it downloaded to the halfway point and then stopped. The third time I continued to wait for the downloading process to begin and it never did.

Try in the Mountain Lion forum...

Shawn
