Is it safe to download Limewire on my Macbook ?

is it safe to download limewire on my macbook, because I am in a heavy recession and I can't afford to buy all my music? please help me..
also
i have an old itouch with alot of playlist and song which i would like to import on this computer but i can't. I can't drag and drop or anything?

No, it's not safe. Limewire is a major distribution method for malware, and though there's not a lot thus far for Macs, there are a few rather destructive trojan horse programs.
I can't afford to buy all my music?
Then live without it or restrict yourself to tracks that have been released into the public domain or otherwise legally made available for free, as with the weekly free tracks on the iTunes Store. Stealing music tracks because you can't afford to buy them is no more justifiable than would be stealing a car because you can't afford to buy one.

  • Is it safe to download/play games on macbook pro?

    My son wants to download and play games like the ones he plays on XBOX on the Macbook pro. Is it safe to do so? I am concerned about viruses mostly.
    Thanks!

    Nope, you should be good to go. However, if you do need anything extra the game will inform you of what you specifically need - maybe an updated version of Flash or Microsoft Silverlight.
    If it requests something be installed that sounds strange to you, you may want to google it just to double check. Don't hesitate to post on here if you run into any issues.

  • Java 1.6 won't install on  10.5.6 and can't download limewire

    I am having a problem downloading limewire on this macbook which i bought second hand. When i try to download limewire it tells me that i need Java 1.6, which i have downloaded and when i try to extract it it gives me an error message that says that it needs 64 bit? Does anyone know how I can do this. It seems a little ridiculous to have the most current software and not be able to download limewire. I have a power book G4, an IMAC and another MACBOOK all with Leopard and i have had no problems.
    My 16 year old is dying without her Limewire!

    Download and install these in order:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/javaformacosx105 update1.html
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/javaformacosx105 update2.html
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/javaformacosx105 update3.html
    If unable, then download and install the 10.5.6 COMBO update, repair permissions, restart, and try installing the Java updates.

  • I need the Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.64plug in on my MacAir to view Ustream videos. Adobe message says the version is for Intel-based Macs with Safari; also says that I "may have to temporarily disable antivirus software. is it safe to download?

    Your MacBook Air is an Intel-based system. To download the current version (11.2.202.228),  go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download it from there.
    If there is still a Flash issue, you can try the Google Chrome browser, which has the current Flash built into it, to see if it works any differently with the videos. It's available from https://www.google.com/chrome

  • Hey guyz.. i wanna ask if i get an updated version from itunes when i plug my iPhone into the Pc, i get a letter tells me that there is an update for your iPhone ... i wanna ask is it safe to download ?? and does it make any side effects on longTerm using

    hey guyz.. i wanna ask if i get an updated version from itunes when i plug my iPhone into the Pc, i get a letter tells me that there is an update for your iPhone ... i wanna ask is it safe to download ?? and does it make any side effects on longTerm using ??

    It is safe to download if your phone is not jailbroken. Before you download it, however, take some precautions:
    Reboot your computer
    Disable your antivirus and firewall
    Connect the phone cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
    Before updating right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "Backup"
    When you are given the choice choose "Download only", not "Download and Update"
    After the download completes successfully click the Update button to install it.
    Most of these steps are just being overly cautious, as most people ignore them and have no problems. But occasionally the extra steps save grief.

  • Is it safe to download adobe flash drive update from the internet (came via a notice from Adobe)

    Is it safe to download an update from Adobe Flash Drive via the internet? A message from Adobe has popped up on a number of videos I'm trying to access.

    If you are sure it is from Adobe, yes.
    If you have the least little bit of doubt then go to the Adobe site yourself and download from their site and then install it.

  • Is it safe to download java yet?

    I have a macbook pro mid 2009, and my question is, is it safe to download java yet? i was planning on playing a game but it said that I needed the java plug-in, so I don't know if I should install it or not. Thanks

    No, there seems to be a vulnerability reported by programmer, but Oracle says it's a feature and they are going back and forth if it's a exploitable or not which the researcher says it is and Oracle saying it's not and if they fix it it would break Java.
    So since the vulnerability is known, it's exploitable it's only a matter of if and when, then Oracle will be screwed as well as those who install Java.
    Oracle is working on Java 8, which should fix the problem pernamently.

  • Is it safe to download adobe and jave to ipad?

    is it safe to download adobe and jave to ipad2

    If by Adobe you mean Flash, you can't. Flash isn't compatible with iOS5 (any iOS honestly)
    I'm  not sure about Java.
    The closest you can do is look for a browser in the app store that works with flash. Puffin, Skyfire are two that are mentioned

  • Is it safe to download from macloops.co

    Is it safe to download from macloops.com?

    Macloops seems to be a legitimate site and rates as OK in places such as Google SiteAdvisor. It's impossible to be absolutely certain that you won't get malware or a corrupted file, but it seems unlikely.
