Like Norton Utilities for PCs, is it helpful to use a software on a MBP to clean up junk, that is not used programs or documents? If so what's the best software for this?
No. See this recent thread and always look on right side bar for "More like this"

Norton for one thing does more harm than good and tries to modify the system's behavior.
Your post is not in the MacBook Pro area, would also be more along t he lines of something for OS X Mavericks Community.

WHAT REPAIR UTILITY CAN I USE BESIDES NORTON UTILITIES FOR MAC 0S 10.3.9?
I have been reading about the Disk Utility and repairing "repair permissions" and frankly I am confused. Since we cannot ue Norton Utilities for Mac OS 10.3.9. Is there a repair utility which will "deep fix" my hard drive the way that Norton used to before Panther? Some say Disk Warrior and some say Tech Tool. Which one is most effective or is there something else for Mac? Thanks.
Marcia:
In addition to Disk Warrior, mentioned in an earlier post, there is also Tech Tool Pro. DW does a great job of Directory repair and rebuilding. TTP repairs and rebuilds the directory in addition to hardware check, disk scan, files check, and files and disk optimization/defragmentation.
The first recourse, should always be, of course, OS X's own built in Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility), for Repairing Disk Permissions and Repairing the Disk, along with other tasks.
ali b's links to maintenance sites also link resources for Unix Maintenance (also referred to as CRON cleaning) a very important maintenace item, and other very helpful utilities.
Sorry if this sounds a bit confusing. The sites ali linked have a lot of very useful information and I recommend that you check them out. May I, in addition, commend you for discontinuing the use of Norton.
Good luck.

No sound for incoming calls but it works using speaker and earpiece. I can't hear anything but the other party can hear me clearly. I was told it's hardware problem. Would anyone please help me? Thanks
This is an annoying problem for many people. Most likely your dock connector (on the bottom where you plug in your phone) is dirty or screwed up and is probably just coincidence that it happened after you updated. Some people have had success cleaning the port with a dry clean tooth brush. There is a long discussion going on at the thread I linked below. Good luck...

I found the operating system very confusing and hard to use. No tutorial. Manual and online help were outdated. Tool bars, programs and documents randomly appeared and disappeared. Programs I installed completely disappeared. Anyone else experience this?
No need to apologize, Jim. I think your rant was justified. For years people have been telling me how easy the Mac was to use. Imagine my frustration when I finally learned from friends and users that it takes weeks or months to make the transition from Windows to Mac.
Still, I agree that I acted to too hastily when I returned my mini-mac to the store only three days after I bought it.
I'm going to try again, this time with an iMac. This time I'll keep it. Since this thread is for the mini-Mac only, I'll probably be starting a new one for the iMac.
Why did I decide to try again? Well, I do like the faster speed and compact hardware of the Macs. I also like the fact that I can install Windows and use that for my programs until I transition completely to Mac, IF I make the complete transition.
Thank you all for your suggestions and advice. I have paid attention to what you said.

The whole bookmarks section of my browser is gone. Also, the toolbar at the bottom of the desktop is covered up by firefos, that has not happened before and I do not like it.
Please help me set it up the way it was. I like my favorites on the toolbar.Are you in the Full Screen mode? Hit '''F11''' and see what happens.

mac app store tells me to log into <edited by host> account to update apps(that I don't own) but that is not my account and I never heard of this email. Is there a fix for this?
Everyone here - please take a look at this thread ( the last two posts by WZZZ and Thomas Reed):
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15205291#15205291
It appears that a) Hotmail has 19 domains functioning as distributors for malware and b) someone is distributing pirated software. Although it does not appear to be related to the recent trojan, my suggestion: stay away from both.
Edit: so why does everyone here appear to have pirated software (and doing it through it App Store)????? -
What is the best security/protection program (McAfee/Symantec/Norton/other) for my Dell PC which has Windows XP. I prefer Mozilla Firefox as my browser, but also use Internet Explorer. I just want to know if Mozilla Firefox has identified an ideal product to detect and destroy spam, worms, add-ons -- eliminate security threats of all kinds... AND is tolerated by BOTH Mozilla Firefox AND Internet Explorer.

itunes has gone from working fine to not opening overnight! When I click on the icon I get 2 messages: MSVCR80.dll is missing and then windows error 126. Can anyone suggest a remedy?
Hey there Riab,
It sounds like you are unable to launch iTunes due to this error message. I recommend removing iTunes with the following article to get iTunes AND its associated programs uninstalled:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When that is done, download and install iTunes from this page:

I am using Logic Pro 9 with two MXL 990 microphones in my piano and a Rode NT1A for vocals. I have tried recording with added reverb and keeping getting not a natural reverb sound, but a rather "pixilated" one that does not sound natural. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this issue? I have tried using Silververb and Space Designer, and both result in the same problems. Thank you!
This is asking for the impossible! It does not sound natural because maybe it isn't and in judging so whats your reference anyway. If you are in dire need of some natural sounding room you can go and record it yourself. But even then, the chances that it sounds like you imagined it, are very slim.
There are very decent sounding reverberation plugins, based on artificial reverb generators or convolution-style, the last one is said to sound more 'natural' then the first one. Be it as it maybe, it really is like cooking food. You got all the ingredients for this delicious taste at hand and believe it or not to reach a satisfying result this is not enough, because if you do not mix the ingredients in the right proportion you will end up with a different dish you thought you'll get. This is exactly the same when one would mix audio, I dare say.
So treat yourself to some good ingredients and the rest is up to you, namely: taste and experience!
And looking at some of my past music productions I always find the same plugins for the 'ambient' task:
Altiverb by Audio Ease when I have acoustic ensembles (classical music mostly), the Sony Oxford Reverb in studio productions, Bricasti when I have to deal with drums and MMultiBandReverb from MeldaProduction for all-round stuff. Thats the base I start from, after that I can end up with dozen Reverb plugins which basically all are doing the same thing but just in a tiny different way. -
Help to use GenericSync and SmartSync
Hi All,
I developing a application that it will use together SmartSync and GenericSync, this is correct? Can I use GenericSync and SmartSync on the same application?
Regards Thanks.
Eduardo<u></u>Hi Eduardo Please refer to this Link:
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/cc489997-0901-0010-b3a3-c27a7208e20a#q-9-2">Link</a>
This is the SAP Mobile FAQ, in the link you will see this:
<b>Can I control the type of synchronization (generic sync or smart sync) within one mobile application, i.e. one data container is synchronized with generic sync and another data container smart sync?</b>
Generic Sync and Smart Sync are technically two separate API and by choosing either of these, the application is hence either using Generic Sync or Smart Sync. Technically it is possible to have both generic sync and smart sync in a single application. However generic sync is advised only for very simple data exchange scenarios. For complex scenarios, smart sync is encouraged. On a data transport level though, both generic sync and smart sync use data containers for transport from client to WebAS.
If it was useful, remenber of the points
Best Regards,

Just looking for an extension or plugin to download .apks from the Play Store to my desktop. I'm talking legally purchased or officially free ones. Chrome has it, but I don't use chrome. I also don't have anything Google on my phone other than, arguably, the OS, which is CyanogenMod. There are apps I'd purchased when I was still running the default OS and I'd like to have them back.
What is that? How should it be used?

HELP, I USED LINUX AND NOW MY IPOD NANO IS MESSED UP!!
I downloaded Linux for my Nano, but now I can do anything, all I get is a folder with a "!" on the folder, please help!
I think I figured out how to put your Ipod back into working condition, to the way you received, sort of in a "like new state" if you will. What I have just found on the Ipod linux forums is very easy, in fact alot easier than I thought, you would of had to use the HP disk format utility, but all you have to do is go ahead and use apple's firmware for the ipod, in case you don't know what that is, it's the software that apple releases which is basically in a pc user's words "the BIOS that controls your Ipod functions, such as backlight brightness, font type, etc. It's basically the Operating System". That's to put it into a easy understandable way. If all you are seeing on your nano is just an exclamtion point then you are in luck, all you do is restore your Ipod using the Apple Ipod updater, that is if your pc can detect your Ipod. Which I think if it didn't you would have posted that. So there you have it, your Ipod should be running as it once did, before a failed linux installation.

Help needed using content and structure functionality
Several times now I have had users who wanted to move libraries or lists, etc. from one place within a site collection to another.
The problem is that often, when they go into content and structure, select their source, the only action that appears is Delete, rather than also the copy or move functionality.
Even when I connect to the farm with the farm account, I see the same issue - the copy and move actions are greyed out. The farm account is one of the site collection owners, as well as of course in the farm admin group.
Are there certain types of things which cannot be copied or moved? One user is just trying to move a folder of files from a document library to a different location (from working to completed), while another user wants to move most of the files from an old
project to a new project.
I am having a tough time understanding why sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't.Thank you for your answer. The user did try to use the windows explorer method, and got an error saying that the operation could not find the source.
I appreciate the note about moving the files individually. I have suggested that.
I also appreciate the caution about using move not copy if the versions are needed.
In one case we have a user who is trying to consolidate 2 different sharepoint sites into 1 site.
She has asked about moving one into the other.
I presume that any moving that takes place will overwrite an object of the same name that exists on the other side? Or is there a prompt to the user before the overwrite takes place?
Thank you so much for your help. -
How do I use a program unit. I am creating a procedure trying to understand how to use it.
I added 2 parameters to the layout. :P1_TEST and :P2_TEST
I created a simple program unit to place information into them
procedure test is
begin
:P1_TEST := 'YES';
:P2_TEST := 'NO';
end;.
When I run it nothing happens.
HowardHello,
The procedure must be callled in order to initialize the parameters.
In your case, you can call the procedure test in a Reports Trigger : the Before Report for example
