Is it true there's NO sec. upd. vs. Shellshock virus for SL?

Sorry, but if this is true then I have little time to waste for either getting back offline or (apparently) upgrading as noted below. I've intentionally been staying offline for several weeks - waiting for a security update from Apple.
Today, I spoke over the phone to an employee at an Apple Store. He said that there is a sec. upd. for the new malware/virus which reportedly can penetrate Mac OSX, but that it's only good for Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks. Therefore, I must assume that Apple is forcing SL users to either upgrade or swim in the 'shark infested internet of things'.
So the bottom line is (apparently) that Mac is leaving it's Snow Leopard users unsupported on this? If this is true, then it's an EPIC FAIL for a good # of users who still use SL.
My best wishes to all of the other faithful Snow Leopard users who are left to fend for themselves.
Thanks in Advance

Thank you so, so much Babowa
No, I don't run a web server, I just love my Snow Leopard and so I will do whatever it takes to keep it purring.
The link that you posted looks quite promising!
Yes, as you say that is pretty good - all things considered.
I guess it just boils down to my responsibility to do as much due diligence as it takes; that I may come to understand (more comprehensively than I do right now) the seemingly daunting technical complexities that currently have me in such a quandary.
Nonetheless, I thank you and all of your compatriots here at the ASC for your thoughtful and elegant guidance.
Peace Out (for now)

Hi Mahesh,
According to log file, I find the message ‘The setup100.exe.config file was not found, therefore the DTSWizard and SQLWatson app config files were not replaced’. It seems that the SQL Server setup file is not complete. Please check that if the SQL Server
setup file is corrupted, if it is corrupted, please download it again and reinstall SQL Server 2008 R2.
However, if there’s no problem with the setup file, please check that if there is third-party software such as anti-virus software on your computer blocking the process of SQL Server installation. In addition, make sure that you choose ‘Run as administrator’
to launch the setup and configure SQL Server service accounts appropriately with administrator permission during the installation.

Is there a way to get the selection order for selectedProperties?

app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers seems to be ordered by the selection order, but app.project.activeItem.selectedProperties (at least in Shape Layers) seems to be ordered by the stacking order. Is there a way to get the selection order for selectedProperties?
Thank you!

Hi,
i had tried to investigate this a while back and it's really hard to figure out.
The array seems to be reorganized using various rules:
     At layer level : preserve the user layer selection order,
     Children of indexed groups : propertyIndex ordering,
     Children of named groups : some internal ordering.
The following is may be more detail than necessary, and given that it is based on observation, not official docs, it is not so reliable, but well, it might still be of interest !!
Say you have 2 selected properties A, and B, and call [COMMON PARENT] their "greatest common ancestor", that is:
        A = [COMMON PARENT].property(a1).... property(aA);
        B = [COMMON PARENT].property(b1).... ...property(bB);
with a1 != b1. Then:
if [COMMON PARENT] = A (ie if A is an ancestor of B), then A comes first.
        For instance: if you select comp.layer(1).mask(1).maskPath, there are 2 selected properties, the mask group and its maskPath: the first is the group and the second the path (the parent comes first).
if [COMMON PARENT] is the containing composition, ie A is a property inside comp.layer(a1), and B a property inside comp.layer(b1), then A and B are ordered according to the layers selection order.
        This can have some strange side effects. For instance:
            deselect everything
            select comp.layer(2) (and nothing else)
            select comp.layer(1).transform.position
            select comp.layer(2).transform.position
            ===> comp.selectedProperties = [comp.layer(2).transform.position, comp.layer(1).transform.position] even though the first entry was effectively selected after the second...
if [COMMON PARENT] is an indexed group, A and B are ordered by propertyIndex
        For instance:
            if you select comp.layer(1).mask(2), then comp.layer(1).mask(1), mask(1) appears before mask(2)
if [COMMON PARENT] is a named group, ... no clue (internal ordering).
        For instance, at propertyDepth 1, it seems that Time Remapping < Effects < Masks < Material Options < Transform, etc, independantly of the selection order, and this is also not the propertyIndex ordering.
        At higher depth, in CS5 the ordering seems to be the propertyIndex ordering, but it is no longer true in CC.
        For instance, selected Position (index 2), Scale (index 6) and Opacity (index 11) in various order on the same layer.
        in CS5 : selectedProperties = [Position, Scale, Opacity];    // propertyIndex ordering, always
        in CC : selectedProperties = [Scale, Position, Opacity];    // always the same ordering, but not the propertyIndex one
So the ordering is a lexicographic ordering (Compare the ancestor of depth 0. If no difference, compare the ancestor of depth 1. If no diff, compare the ancestor at depth 2. And so forth).
But at each step, the comparaison depends on the type of the ancestor, and when the type is named group, the ordering is internal so we can't know.
Practically the most important thing is that selected properties seem to be reorganized by "containing layer" (the layer selection is preserved),
and then in each layer selected properties are "grouped by same parent": you can't have a mask related property, then an effect related property, then another mask related property:
all masks related properties appears together, all effect related properties appear together, etc.
If several effects are selected, effect(1) and all its properties appear first (if selected), then effect(2) and all its properties would appear second etc
and so forth

Is it true that Mac's can get a genuine Virus? I've heard they can't.

Is it true that Mac's can get a genuine Virus? I've heard they can't.

OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it updated with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgement, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Hey Rich,
It is true that you cannot add more than 250 plots to a 2d-axis graph in the REPORT. One work around is to have the graphs stacked on top of each other and plot 250 to one graph and 250 more to another graph. I am including a TDR (you have to unzip it) file that has 12 2d-axis stacked on top of each other. Most of the properties have been made invisible through the graph properties. You can still see the legends however. One caveat to this is that you will have issues accessing the different graphs. You have to do it from a VBScript. The following line of code worked for me:
Call GraphObjOpen("2DAxis" + Str(NewAxis))
Where NewAxis is a variable that defines which graph I want to look at. You would of course have to loop through the graphs as you add data.

Is there any downside mixing Objective-C with C++ for iOS apps?

I'd like to use C++ since it's fast and more dynamically in memory reference.
Is there any downside mixing Objective-C with C++ for iOS apps?
When googled for info, I only found tutorials about how to let xcode compile Objective-C with C++.
Thanks for help.

Both Objective-C and C++ are (more or less) extensions of C.
C supports manipulation of pointers and casting of pointers, this implies that both Objective-C and C++ will be able to manipulate C data like arrays, structs ...
Objective-C has classes like NSData to read/write blocks of bytes from/to file and to access ranges of bytes when the data is loaded into memory.
C++ probably has similar classes (I'm not well versed in C++ so I don't know).
If you want to look into using C++ you will probably want to look at Objective-C++, the link below has links to docs on how to use C++ with Objective-C:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3684112/what-is-objective-c
Thanks for the info, NSData does what I need.
A replied in the link also mentioned that he's using C++ in his application too. As long as I'm aware of memory management (prevent memory leaks, etc) as @disguise said, it should be fine.
@etresoft indeed, but C is the base language of ObjC, there are ways to deal with.

Apple only supports Windows on certain hardware.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Apple provides their framework for Windows to run on a Mac, a piece of software called a Hybrid MBR that bridges the gap between how Windows reads the drive partition table (MBR) and EFI/GUID partition table that Mac's use.
It doesn't mean Windows can't run on your Mac, a third party solution called rEFIt will also bridge the gap and allow booting of more that just Windows, Linux as well for a triple booting computer.
Your hardware has to meet the other requirements the second and third operating system needs as as being able to install drivers that will work for your hardware, especially the fans or they will run loud and fast by default.
http://refit.sourceforge.net/
This above is a advanced procedure which requires knowledge how computers and various operating systems, drive formats and so forth work.
I even admit I don't know everything myself, but I experiment on a separate piece of Mac hardware (out of warranty/AppleCare) designed for this purpose so in case something screws up I'm not taking down my only machine and can use the other to get online and find solutions.
There is a very high potential for losing your data if your using advanced/non-Apple methods to install Windows on your only Mac where Apple doesn't support it. Also one shouldn't be doing this on Mac hardware that is under AppleCare or warranty as it might be voided. Proceed at your own risk and education.

Is there a keyboard shortcut in OS 10.6 for "open folder window" and "close folder window"?

Is there a keyboard shortcut in OS 10.6 for "open folder window" and "close folder window"? I have a hand condition at the moment that makes it painful to mouse the cursor over to the arrow and click it (for instance, in the sidebars for Finder or iTunes) to open or close a folder. If anyone knows a keyboard shortcut for this, I'd really appreciate it--thanks!

Is there a way to update an external dictionary for services without migrating the services

Is there a way to update an external dictionary for services without migrating the services
Is there a way to update a common external dictionary used by many services without migrating each and every service that uses the dictionary. I have updated the table in the database and the external dictionary in our Development Environment. The external dictionary is used by many services. When I migrate the changed service to TEST/STAGE/PROD environments (NOTE: the table has been updated in the TEST/STAGE/PROD Databases), only the changed service is having the external dictionary updated. All other services that use the same external dictionary are NOT updated. I have the following questions
Is it possible to migrate dictionaries so that all the services which are using that dictionary are updated?
If the first one is not possible, Is there any other way to update the external dictionary without migrating all the services that use dictionary?

dont think so but I could be wrong
as it were I didn't like the build in audio so I connected some external logictech 2.1 speakers but there
are times when I use headset so I bought this one
or any minijack splitter will work too so I have 2 things connected to the headset port works just fine

I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files. Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea. Liable to cause problems down the road.

Is there a way to connect an external speaker (for another room) through the headphone port

Is there a way to connect an external speaker (for another room) through the headphone port & still hear sound through the internal speakers? System Preferences/Sound/Output or Sound Effects allows you to use one or the other -- headphones or internal speakers. I would like to have the option of hearing music through the internal speakers in one room, & through an external speaker in another room at the same time. I also do not want to frequently disconnect/reconnect the external speaker from/to the headphone port as I know over time the connection could become loose. (10.7.4 Lion)

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

My family shares one apple id. Is there any way to make an apple id for each member of my family and have it all connected to the same credit card and have the same previous downloads open to download by signing in to each members personal apple id?

Hi cindy,
If you all have individual Apple IDs, then you would be able to dowload music from a shared iTunes library on a computer, but you would not be able to sign on each individual ID on an iOS device in order to download music purchased under the original Apple ID without a 90-day waiting period between sign-ons.
Here's what I mean:
If you were to sign on a new Apple ID on, say, an iPhone, and then were to purchase and download some music from iTunes, then you would have to wait 90 days before you could sign on the old Apple ID to that iPhone in order to download previously purchased material (and vice versa).
However, if all of the music purchased by that origjnal Apple ID is in an iTunes library on a shared computer, then you can hook up the device and selectively sync any music in that library to the device. You can also sign on any of the Apple IDs to that shared iTunes library and purchase music to be added to the library.
You would need to authorize the computer for each of the new Apple IDs.
Each of the Apple IDs would also be able to download that music purchased either by syncing to the iTunes library on the computer or by downloading it OTA on the device.
So, each Apple ID can download music, movies, etc. purchased with that Apple ID OTA to the device. Also each Apple ID can sync any music, movies, etc. that are in the iTunes library on the computer regardless of who purchased them.
The only other thing you would need to remember is that if an App needed to be updated, then the original Apple ID that was used to purchase that App would come up, and the password that goes with that Apple ID would be required to do the update.
Hope that helps,
GB

Is there a way to create a PRIVATE folder for some of my audiobooks?

Hello,
This might sound cheesy, but I would like to keep some of the audiobooks in my iTunes private and I'm wondering if there's a way of doing it? For example, can I create a second Audiobooks folder and keep there? Is there a way to make that folder password protected, so no one else can look in it?
Any help with this would be appreciated!
Thank you.

Where would I keep my audiobooks?
Your Audiobooks stay where they are.
You can decide which playlists your computer shares, as follows:
Open iTunes Preferences. Click on "Sharing". Instead of having the button "Share entire library" checked, change it to "Share selected playlists" and select only the playlists that you want others to see.
