Is anybody tell me which is the best setting for firewall, Flash player, safari and other applications to protect my mac from risk

what are the best setings to protect from risks

Hi.
I've been a Mac user since the days of the Mac Plus, about 1986.
It's been my experience that the system defaults are generally enough to keep your Mac safe. I know there are going to be others who will swear up and down that you HAVE TO do more... but the setup that ships with the newest Macs is pretty d*mn good.
The best thing you can do to protect your machine is practice a little self control. By that I mean, just follow some basic rules when your on using the machine and the internet.
> Don't download files or apps from untrusted sites... sites you don't know.
> Don't allow an application to install itself if you didn't initiate it. (This is how a trojan would infect a machine.)
> Don't click on links in your e-mail if it's from someone you don't know.
> Don't share your user IDs and passwords with others.
> Install and use an anti-virus (Kaspersky, Symantic, et al).
> Use Software Update regularly.
There are other basics that you should keep in mind when using your Mac, and I'm sure others can add to this.
Most of the issuse that people have when using Macs is because they don't use common sense... not because their machine has been hacked or attacked.
OS X is pretty secure as it ships. And Apple is pretty proactive in keeping it updated.

I'm not sure what settings you are referring to. If you mean the import CD settings, there would be no point in changing them after importing the CD, would there?
As for the best setting for audio quality, it's down to your preference. Many people will not hear the difference bewteen one setting and another. The best thing to do is import the same song several times using different import setttings (and change the song title so you know which one is which) and then listen to them on your iPod. Then decide.
Unless you have specific reasons for using the WAV setting, don't use it. It will use up a lot of space on your iPod and you cannot tag WAV files in the same way as the other formats.

What is the best setting for export movie in widescreen format?

Please tell me what is the best setting for exporting movie in Widescreen format?

Like in After effect we use "NTSC D1 Widescreen Square Pixel".,
Carefully examine the codec and pixel dimensions of that output file. That's certainly easy for an experienced VFX person like yourself.
Then carefully look over the presets in FCP to find the same attibutes. You can also use the online help system for FCP and search for "D1"
However, your question remains unanswerable because we don't know how you're getting to the monitor. What are you playing back you AE sequences on that displays them on your LCD? You're assuming we know what you're doing and, I assure you, we do not.

Which is the best iOS for iPhone 3G? I am currently on 3.1.3 !

Which is the best iOS for iPhone 3G?
Should i update it to the latest 4.2.1 or let it be on my current firmware 3.1.3?
I have heard that 3G is best on 3.1.3?
Comment?

If I may, I agree that version 3.1.3 is the best for the iPhone 3G, however, I am currently travelling in Europe and I have a SIM card from a local mobile company. I discovered the hard way that there is an option missing: Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data (on/off). This option is not present in iOS 3.1.3. So basically, you disable 3G but it is impossible to block EDGE, and your phone will automatically revert to it if 3G is not available, and you will occur cellular data fees anyway.
I am sure of what I am saying because with the local service I use, I have unlimited data for $4 per day, but it is debited as soon as I consume one byte of data, then it is free until midnight the same day. Event if I have set Enable 3G = off, Data Roaming = off, for two days in a row, I was still charged the $4 a day because the Cellular Data was not off!
I compared with my wife's iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.1, there is the three options, Enable 3G (on/off), Data Roaming (on/off), Cellular Data (on/off). The option to turn it off simply doesn't exists on iOS 3.1.3!
With some research, I found that it is possible to block it anyway if you change your APN (Access Point Name) to an invalid setting. The easiest way to do this is to connect to the Internet using WiFi, then access this web site with Safari: http://unlockit.co.nz/ (from your iPhone).
This online tool allows you to change your APN, it is very useful when you travel abroad and you use local SIMs. On the first screen press Continue, on the second screen press Custom APN to create an APN for a local mobile company, or press Disable Data (FakeAPN) to disable 3G and Edge for good. When creating a Custom APN, you will be asked to choose a Country and a Provider, then press Create Profile. Then, either way, press Install and "Install Now" or "Replace", then press Done. This will add two things to your phone: first, an app-like icon for quick access to the website http://unlockit.co.nz/, second, a new menu in Settings > General, labelled "Profile", that contains your new APN. Note that it is possible to add several profile information, and some may conflict with each other. Remove those you don't need. Don't remove them if you are not sure!
I hope this works for you!

I meant RECORDS instead of REGISTERS.Maybe that is where you are going wrong, records are for putting on turntables.

Which are the best settings for exporting comps before edditing in Premiere Pro

Hello everyone!
As the title says, which are the best settings for exporting comps from AE to Pr.Pro and then edit them?
Let me explain: I have two comps in AE (intro and outro) and want to export them in Pr.Pro for edditing along with a fottage i shot.
When i render them the size of the files are huge (30 sec= 7GB).
Which is the best method (and settings) i can export the intro and outro to a 'normal' file size and then put them in Pr.Pro without loosing any quality??
[Comp settings: HDTV 1080 29.97 (1920x1080)]
AE and Premiere Pro both CS4

If you're rendering and exporting an intermediate video file to go from After Effects to any other piece of post-production software (such as Premiere Pro), you want to make sure that you're not losing any quality.
Most compression methods, which make movies smaller, also lose some of the image data---i.e., quality. There are a few compression methods that don't lose any image data; these are "lossless" codecs. These lossless codecs do decrease the size of a video file, but they're nowhere near as effective at decreasing size as the lossy codecs are. But file size isn't important when you're doing post-production work. Big files are a fact of life in post-production.
Examples of lossless codecs include the PNG codec and the Animation codec at the highest quality settings, both of which can be used in a QuickTime (.mov) container. I prefer the PNG codec; it's more efficient for photorealistic images, whereas Animation is more efficient for things like cartoons. There are lots of other lossless and nearly lossless codecs. A lot of people that do video editing like the Lagarith codec, but that is something that you'd have to go and get; it's not part of a standard CS5 or QuickTime installation.
See these FAQ entries for information about compression and why file sizes are big for losslessly encoded files:
"FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"
"FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?"
By the way, keep in mind that you don't always need to render and export an intermediate movie to go from After Effects to Premiere Pro. There are other ways to move data back and forth between these applications, including Dynamic Link. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. See "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects".

What is the best setting for compressing to a Window Media Player?

I now have the latest Compressor, just now need to figure out which is the best setting to use for compressing to a Windows Media Player. Does anyone know which is the best method?

I'd propose you buy a licence for Telestreams FLip4MAC (flipfactory) Quicktime components to enable ENCODING for HD and SD as you need. It works ok however none of my work requires specifics for windows player. I have a licence just the same.
If you have Flip4mac already installed, you can use the system preferneces panel to order a an ENCODER component licence. There may be others around as well.
You can just use compressor.app and change the inspector video to use "quicktime components/windows media encoder" in the batch job.. its pretty easy.

What's the best setting for a best shades quality?

Hi!
I would like to know what are the best codec and the best setting for a video with 1920x1080 of resolution.
I've tried them all but nothing because the shades...are not shades.
I want a video that is like a uncompressed video but lighter. Same quality, same shades.
I've tried with Canopus Lossless but the video is darker and huge (7 min for >17 gb),
then with Canopus HQ, same quality but a little bit lighter (6 gb),
I've tried with all of codecs and settings but I haven't found what I want.
Who can help me for the best settings for the best shades?
Thanks so much.
P.S: Sorry for my english!

I used the PNG codec but the video is too big.
New Question: I've tried to encode the video with Canopus HQ but to 720p and now the video is more lighter, I wanted to upload it on YouTube but is not compatible with the standards.
If I encode this video by changeing the codec to Microsoft Avi uncompressed, can I have the same quality and the same weight?

Just bought a 3TB Time Capsule for a small office. Will have 4 users with MacBooks. What would ne the best setup for time machine individual backups and internet sharing in a secure way?

Just bought a 3TB Time Capsule for a small office. Will have 4 users with MacBooks. What would ne the best setup for time machine individual backups and internet sharing in a secure way?

Set up each Mac for Time Machine backups in the normal way. Time Machine will keep each backup separate on the Time Capsule, so users will only be able to see the backups of their own Mac.
Yes....there are convoluted workarounds that might allow one user to see the backups of another.....IF...they know the administrator password of the "other" Mac.
As far as Internet sharing, all users will have access to the Internet if they have a wired or wireless connection. If a Mac connects using wireless, it is possible to limit the time that they are allowed to connect to the network.
For example, you might limit the ability to connect to the wireless from say each Weekday from 8 AM to 6 PM.
With a wired Ethernet connection, you cannot limit access times to the Internet.

Best Settings for Athlon 1700 + (no overclock) and other issues...

Hi!
The solution for my last problems sent me into other questions.
1 - What are the best settings for an Athlon XP 1700+ and a KT3 Ultra Aru?
2 - Athlon XP is anounced to have 266 fsb, but in bios you can change only to 220! Anyway, in the kt333 chipset specs says it has 266 fsb...
I'm confused:
What is the difference from the fsb in the athlon XP specs and the board Specs?
3 - Raid: Don't believe this is in the manual...
Do you know of issues regarding overheating problems in hdd over 60 gb size? I've heard that there are problems because of the high rotation (7200 rpm)...
Anyway, i wanted to mount my raid for Professional Audio Recording... I guess i'll wait for ATA133 drives in Portugal...
4 - USB 2 and Windows 98:
Are there any drivers for 98se or do i have to stuck with usb 1?
Thanks in advance!
Miguel Catalão
(Portugal)

hi
133 is your cpu speed 266 is ddr ram speed
i think ata 133 is a bit of nonsense
quickest disks i know are wb with 8 mb cache
they run hot ,case fans and consider hd coolers
try via website for drivers not sure

I want to play AVCHD videos in ipad from my JVC camcorder.which is the best tool for converting the avchd videos to formats that ipad can play?

I have a JVC HD camcorder that creates videos in AVCHD format that ipad cannot play. Which is the best tool to convert these avchd videos to the format ipad can play?

Airplay is a wireless streaming protocol. It allows content to be pushed from the iPad through the Apple TV onto your connected HDTV.
If she wants to see the iPad displayed on the big screen and/or play games that involves mirroring. As long as it's an iPad 2 (or later) then you will be fine. More info on both has been referened below

Which is the best alignment for a Date-time data type (WPF)

Hello,
sorry If I'm asking this question in the wrong place (If you could help me where to ask it :) )
I have read the Microsoft guidelines for Layout. Left and right alignment are briefly described... but I don't see anything for Date/Time data type? What is the best alignment for this type of data?
Can you tell me where I can find the relevant information? Microsoft guidelines or other?
We are using WPF.
Thank you very much :)

Welcome to the discussion area!
+1) Will using the TC on a wireless network as a repeater half my connection speed while doubling my coverage?? In that case it might be worth it..+
Unfortunately, the Time Capsule will only "extend" a wireless network if the network has been created by another Apple "n" router. So the Netgear would not be compatible with the Time Capsule for this purpose.
If you could connect the Netgear and Time Capsule together using an ethernet cable, you would be able to create one large wireless network.
+2) Do I have any reason to believe I could get better coverage using the TC as the Base Station and trying to virtually impossible task of setting up the Netgear as a bridge?+
Not sure about "better coverage", but the Time Capsule would create dual band networks operating at both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz so faster devices could connect at 5 GHz for maximum speed and slower devices would connect to the 2.4 GHz band.
In addition, if the Time Capsule connects directly to your cable modem, you could enable the "guest" network feature if you needed that function. (However, if the Time Capsule is configured in the network as a "bridge", the guest network feature cannot be enabled).
On a quick glance, your Netgear router does not appear to be a simultaneous dual band device. If that's the case, you could configure it to expand either the 2.4 GHz band or 5 GHz band (assuming it will handle 5 GHz) for wider wireless coverage. But, the connection between devices would need to be via ethernet cable, and as you point out, the Netgear would need to configured as a "bridge" in this type of setup.
If running the ethernet cable is simply not possible, take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task using the AC wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal. While not as good as a straight ethernet cable, this type of connection would still yield better performance than wireless only, if the devices were compatible.
