Is there software like cc cleaner and malwarebytes for a mac

how vulnerable is OS10.8 to malware and viruses? Is there software like malwarebytes and cc cleaner available, or is a purchased version of antivirus software recommended and if so which is best, preferrebly not totally slowing everything down

Some are totally opposed to their use.
Some I venture are against CCCleaner.... because they don't think cleaning temp and cache files are....? or that it "came from Windows world" or maybe the authors don't understand Mac??
I of course had to try CCCleaner - Windows (great product) and Mac (seems safe).
Any utility can be abused. Onyx and Lion Cache Cleaner have long strong support history. And yet if used or over used - and using to 'fix' a problem rather than as mild general house-cleaning and keeping... (If you disk drive has problems, maybe you need to run fsck -fy or Repair Disk Directory or SMART Utility to find if there are bad blocks).
You posted in a forum of non-notebook (tower size, server type cpu)
I get the feeling whether users or type of computer and work, that "my computer feels slow" comes up in Mac OS X forums from notebook owners more often, too often even.
Fragmented free space, low free space, really low, not enough memory, installing too much stuff, or web browsers that leave too much on the disk drive (and don't use quotas or size limits or how many days of cache, history etc).
My experieince: BACKUP and CLONE your system. Try on the clone. Or on main hard drive (but first make sure you've got a bootable backup clone) and test and try out and experiment. Then make up your own mind on your own experience. I would even go a step further: a "test system" computer that you can play with. Try out new OS or whatever on it. A Mini or something is great for that or older and 2nd hand too.
Generally the feedback under products on www.macupdate.com and/or MacIntouch reader feedback have been helpful. Pre-Cnet so was MacFixit but I spend less time there now (they had great support forums at one time 8-13 yrs ago). Especially for Mac OS stuff.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Read the system requirements for the programs you listed. Match them against the specifications of the machine you propose to buy. The more RAM the better, your hard drive size requirements and video card specicications may require the upgraded, not base, model or may eliminate the MBA as a platform.

  • Are there any magazines with articles and tips for AE - English language

    Are there any magazines with articles and tips for AE - English language

    I'm afraid not. Mags like Computer Arts and others have occasional articles interspersed or specials (Computer Arts Projects) but if you want my opinion: You can find much better resources online. Most of these print articles are really quite generic and aimed e.g. at 3D artists who only do the occasional piece of work in AE...

  • There are two transactions ZJPVCS303 and ZJPVCS303_US for one single Report

    When run as a batch program, (currently this is the case), or withT-Code ZJPVCS303 the selection screen is unchanged (except for additional sales area above)
    - When run as T-Code ZJPVCS303_UL (UL stands for Upload) the selection screen is changed.  The unix file option is no longer available, and the user is able to upload a local file (in the same format as the current unix file, but tab delimited) to the program for processing.
    Requirements:
    There are two transactions ZJPVCS303 and ZJPVCS303_US for one single Report.
    ->When ZJPVCS303 Transaction is executed, the file is uploaded from the Application
      server to SAP R/3. The selection screen parameters would be:
      Logical Filename:
      Sales Organization:
      Distribution Channel:
      Division:
    ->When ZJPVCS303_US Transaction is executed, the file is uploaded from the Presentation Server
      to SAP R/3. When this transaction is executed, it should not have the 'Logical
      Filename' parameter anymore on the selection-screen. Instead it should only have
      Local File name on the presentation server:
      Sales Organization:
      Distribution Channel:
      Division:
        The same thing is applicable for the other transaction ZJPVCS303. When transaction ZJPVCS303
    is executed, it should not have the 'Local Filename' parameter anymore on the selection-screen. Instead it should only have
    Logical Filename:
    Sales Organization:
    Distribution Channel:
    Division:
    So how should I make these parameters invisible depending on the transaction codes execution.
    I have an idea of using MODIF ID, LOOPING AT SCREEN...MODIFY SCREEN.
    I have an idea of using SY-TCODE.
    EX:
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
    IF SY-TCODE = 'ZJPVCS303'.
    LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF SCREEN-GROUPID = 'GRP'.
       SCREEN-INPUT   = 0.
       SCREEN-INVISIBLE = 1.
       MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    ELSEIF SY-TCODE = 'ZJPVCS303_US'.
    LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF .....
    ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
    But I am not able to get the output which I require. Please help me out.

    Hello Rani
    Basically the transaction determines whether upload starts from application server (AS) or presentation server (PC). Thus, you will have the following parameter:
    PARAMETERS:
      p_as_fil          TYPE filename   MODIF ID unx,  " e.g. Unix server
      p_pc_fil          TYPE filename   MODIF ID wnd.  " e.g. Windows PC
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
      CASE syst-tcode.
    *   transaction(s) for upload from server (AS)
        WHEN 'ZJPVCS303.
          LOOP AT screen.
            IF ( screen-group1 = 'UNX' ).
              screen-input = 0.
              screen-invisible = 1.
              MODIFY screen.
            ENDIF.
          ENDLOOP.
    *   transaction(s) for upload from local PC (PC)
        WHEN 'ZJPVCS303_US.
          LOOP AT screen.
            IF ( screen-group1 = 'WND' ).
              screen-input = 0.
              screen-invisible = 1.
              MODIFY screen.
            ENDIF.
          ENDLOOP.
       WHEN others.
       ENDCASE.

  • I need to access (Ultra) scsi-2 drives but the card is dead. Is there an adapter/converter out there somewhere like my IDE to USB for this? Any other suggestions appreciated.

    I need to access (Ultra) scsi-2 68 pin drives but the card is dead. Is there an adapter/converter out there somewhere like my IDE to USB for this? Any other suggestions appreciated.

    Might be hard to find, but long ago there were a couple of Firewire<->SCSI adapters, if you have USB2 those might be available also...

    I think Belkin made one also.
    Might be far cheaper to buy an old Mac or even PC with SCSI.

  • I bought and paid for LR5.  I was given a trial subscription to Cloud. That expired and Adobe shut me off from using the LR software I have bought and paid for. Surely this is outright theft.  I have got to get this fixed to meet business contracts. Charl

    Adobe has blocked my use of LR5 software that I bought and paid for. This happened when a trial Cloud subscription expired.  Adobe is illegally seizing my property, and threatening my business, unless I can get this full access to LR5 restored immediately.
    Charles S. Gardner

    Of course you got cut off from the creative cloud! It's a 30 day trial, and if you don't subscribe you can't use the software that you downloaded from the creative cloud. It will have to be uninstalled. Then you can install from one of these websites:
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
    The program is identical, but licensing is completely different. And you cannot license the creative cloud installation with a serial number. The link I have given you it is for the trial version. When you start the program and the trial screen appears choose the option that indicates that you have a serial number. That will guide you through the process of entering your serial number.

    At this point you will only be able to download whatever is available in the Apps Store in the iTunes Store for India. I doubt very much iBooks or iWorks will be available until the iPad has actually been released for India.

  • Are there any magazines with articles and tips for Encore - English language

    Are there any magazines with articles and tips for Encore - English language

    The very best "chronicle" on Encore that I can come up with is Jeff Bellune's Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, Focal Press. It was written for EncoreDVD 2.0, but everything in it applies to CS4. Now, as of CS4, Adobe Dynamic Link to PrPro has been greatly improved and strengthened, and that part will have to come from the Help files. The book is still the best resource for 99% of Encore, and I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed. It is an invaluable reference, whether you have EnDVD 2.0, CS3 or CS4.
    As for magazine articles, Encore is mentioned in some, but I do not recall any specific to the program. Same for books on DVD/BD authoring. I have several, that use Encore for some examples, and other authoring programs for others.
    The closest thing that we have to the PrPRo-Wiki, mentioned in your thread in the PrPro forum, is the wonderful set of Encore FAQ's on this forum. Jeff Bellune and Neil Wilkes have done a great job of rebuilding those, and most were lost, when the forum underwent a major changeover about 1.5 years ago.
    Next, just reading this forum will help one learn how to do much in Encore, and also how to solve any problems.
    One other asset that needs to be pointed out is the link in this ARTICLE to Jim Taylor's DVD FAQ. His book, DVD Demystified, by McGraw Hill, will tell you everything that you would ever want to know about DVD/BD, and his FAQ site will cover most of the important info.
    Great reading in each of those. That is not an all-inclusive list, but all that I can think of for now.
    Good luck,

    I plan to purchase a Mac mini and then a new iPad.  Can I use the iPad as a keyboard and screen for the Mac mini, using either the USB connector or Wi-Fi?

    I'm sorry, I should have said thru Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi.  I want to use the mini as a base station and the iPad like a laptop that I can sync when I'm home and carry with me when I travel.  Is is possible to hook these 2 up - iPad/mini, through Bluetooth?  I understand I need to use a regular monitor/keyboard/mouse on the initial install.

    It sounds as if your browser and some of your apps are not color-managed.  This is pretty typical.  Even IE9 is only partially color-managed.
    You can expect color-managed and non-color-managed applications to show you different things with the same images.  How different will depend upon how different your monitor color profile is from the image's color profile.
    For web publication and most general use, experts usually advise saving images with the sRGB profile.  If such images, saved through the Save for Web & Devices function, look different to you than you expect, it may be that your input images have previously been saved in another color space.
    You should really try to get your head around color-management by reading more on it.  It can seem baffling and it's difficult to understand without some background.  A quick web search turns up many overviews.  Beware, though, even people writing articles sometimes don't fully understand it.
