Is CleanmyMAc2 safe to use with Mavericks or Yosemite

I recently had photos (folders and albums) completely disappear from my Apertrure Library recently after using CleanMyMac2. I am not sure if it caused some problems or there was a coincident.  I am wondering if others have experienced similar casualties?

Be careful. I tested it half a year ago, and it was buggy. I don't know if the bugs have been fixed. When I tested with a few small test libraries (iPhoto libraries) CleanMyMac2 removed most of the original files and replaced them by the previews of the edited versions. All photos were degraded in quality this way, and any photos with multiple versions were completely messed up, because the originals had been replaced by edited versions. So multiple, differently edited versions lost their original master files and could no longer be reverted to the original, or edited in any way.

  • Boot Camp safe to use with Time Machine?

    Is Boot Camp safe to use with Time Machine? I will be installing Windows on a partition and using an external hard drive to back up. I only want the Mac partition to be backed up, though, since Windows will just be used for applications which I can reinstall if my machine messes up.

    Yes, this is perfectly safe. Time Machine won't backup the Bootcamp Windows partition.

  • Are magnetic cases safe to use with iPhone?

    Are magnetic cases safe to use with the iPhone? I've seen a few 3G cases that have magnetic flaps that look awesome, but I've heard arguments both for and against using them.

    I received my SENA magnet-flipper case (croc-black) on Friday, Aug 22 and have had absolutely no issues... also need to mention I was concerned with my 3G over heating keeping it in a case now and again, no issues there... in fact, after removing it from the SENA after two days of being on, my 3G was cool at touch.
    I did experience a GPS search issue the day after putting it in the SENA, and three days after updating to r2.0.2 and originally thought the "magnets" interfered with my signal reception as some reported.. but when I took my 3G out of the case and experienced the same search and location issues (not to mention APPLE validating GPS map issues on 2.0.2 today), I am convinced the "magnet's" on the SENA case do not create problems. The magnets on the SENA case are quite small; powerful, as in you can't shake the case and the flap fall's away... and they are inconspicuous to the eye.

    Apple wouldn't know Avid's development cycle.

  • How can I update my student version AF5.5 and Premier5.5 to use with Mavericks

    hello,
    I need to update my Production Suite apps 5.5 in order to be able to use them with Mavericks. There is no option to do it from the app. I have a student version, still in college.
    thank you

    Yes, i know it doesn't. My question is - how can I still be able to use Af and upgrade to Mavericks. Can I buy the AF6 upgrade, if I have a student version? Adobe customer support is non existent.
    Thank you,

  • How do I convert Word 2004 files for use with Mavericks?

    I have recently upgraded to Mavericks and now find that my old Word files (2004) can't be opened. (I can still open my Word 2008 files.) I have been a maths teacher for decades and have many old files which are still very useful but they contain more than just text; they contain diagrams, MathType expressions etc. etc. I need to be able to convert these files to files that can be opened with Mavericks. Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

    Office 2008 should function in Mavericks and it willl open Office 2004 files:
    http://roaringapps.com/app/microsoft-office-2008
    Hence, you do not need to partition and install Snow Leopard into a new partition.  I gave you my previous advice before you indicated you are now using Office 2008.

  • Is W510's 135w Power Supply Safe To Use With T61?

    I just ordered a new W510, whick of course comes with the 135w power supply. All documentation says that it is compatible with other Thinkpads goint back to the T400. There have been BIOS updates to accomodate the 135w supply on these machines.
    I have a T61 (90w power). I plugged the 135w into it BRIEFLY, and the power manager indicated a 120w power supply connected.
    ---- Does this mean it IS safe to use the 135w brick with the T61? I need someone who is truly informed to weigh in.
    Many thanks to all!

  • Safari crashes used with maverick

    Safari crashes used with maverick

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Screensaver installed on Mountain Lion still works with Yosemite but Attempting to install on later MBP it won't work with Mavericks or Yosemite

    I installed Porsche's 911 Screensaver on my 2011 MBP when it had Mountain Lion.  It still works after upgrades up to Yosemite.  I attempted to install the same on my late 2013 MBP Retina (Mavericks and Yosemite) and though it installs, I get the message that the screensaver isn't compatible with this version of OS X.  How can a piece of software work on one MBP and not another?  The 2011 is 15", quad-core i7 and the 2013 is about as powerful but 13" and all SSD.  This is confusing
    Thanks for the help

    so return it for another one if its within the 14 day return policy.  If not, bring it in for repair.

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions About Mac Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utility is: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior for defragmentation of older drives, disk repair, disk scans, formatting, partitioning, disk copy, and benchmarking. 
    Four outstanding sources of information on Mac maintenance are:
    1. OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
    2. Mac maintenance Quick Assist
    3. Maintaining Mac OS X
    4. Mac Maintenance Guide
    Periodic Maintenance
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) See Mac OS X- About background maintenance tasks. If you are running Leopard or later these tasks are run automatically, so there is no need to use any third-party software to force running these tasks.
    If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced after Tiger.  (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
    Defragmentation
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive except when trying to install Boot Camp on a fragmented drive.
    Malware Protection
    As for malware protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. Starting with Lion, Apple has included built-in malware protection that is automatically updated as necessary. To assure proper protection, update your system software when Apple releases new OS X updates for your computer.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection:
    1. Mac Malware Guide.
    2. Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware
    3. Macintosh Virus Guide
    For general anti-virus protection I recommend only using ClamXav, but it is not necessary if you are keeping your computer's operating system software up to date. You should avoid any other third-party software advertised as providing anti-malware/virus protection. They are not required and could cause the performance of your computer to drop.
    Cache Clearing
    I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, Mountain Lion Cache Cleaner 7.0.9, Maintenance 1.6.8, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache files can cause slowness, kernel panics, and other issues. Although this is not a frequent nor a recurring problem, when it does happen there are tools such as those above to fix the problem.
    If you are using Snow Leopard or earlier, then for emergency cleaning install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (AppleJack works with Snow Leopard or earlier.)
    Installing System Updates or Upgrades
    Repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
    Update your backups in case an update goes bad.
    Backup and Restore
    Having a backup and restore strategy is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your computer. Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. You can never have too many backups. Don't rely on just one. Make several using different backup utilities. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
         1. Carbon Copy Cloner
         2. Get Backup
         3. Deja Vu
         4. SuperDuper!
         5. Synk Pro
         6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance and backup and restore.
    Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.
    Final Suggestions
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space. Avoid installing utilities that rely on Haxies, SIMBL, or that alter the OS appearance, add features you will rarely if ever need, etc. The more extras you install the greater the probability of having problems. If you install software be sure you know how to uninstall it. Avoid installing multiple new software at the same time. Install one at a time and use it for a while to be sure it's compatible.

    Most if not all maintenance is for troubleshooting problems. If your computer is running OK, then there isn't really a thing you need to do except repair the hard drive and permissions before installing any new system updates.

  • Is a Flipbelt safe to use with the iPhone 5s?

    I've heard stories of the iPhone 5's aluminum frame bending in back pockets. Has anyone used the 5 or 5s safely with a Flipbelt as a running accessory?

    I own an iPhone 5s and use the Flipbelt daily.  It is a spandex type material and will not remotely bend the phone.  In fact it will not even scratch the phone.  I wear the Flipbelt around my hips with the phone in the front.  Even if I position the phone on my back, there isn't a way to put force on the phone due to where the belt is located on your body (even when you sit down).  The Flipbelt rocks for running, walking, and working out.  Give it a try.

  • Is java safe for use with iMac?

    Do I need Java on my new imac?

    It depends on whether your are using Java applidations or not. Applications such as OpenOffice, NeoOffice, MaoneyDance, and others use the Java Virtual Machine for cross platform compatibility and are not subject to the same vulnerabities that have plagued Java applets
