Mac Clean CS3

I'm having install issues with cs3, I can install Flash, Illustrator, In Design but the install says Dremweaver CS3 (installed) Photoshop CS3 (conflict) conflict is Adbobe PS cs3. I has trials of all those apps so I did an uninstal of the CS3 apps that installed OK and I still got the same message. So now I'm on to step two using the Mac CleanCS3. Problem is I get the terminal and the prompt asks me for my password but I cannot enter it. I can only do so using "new command" and I get command not found.
help?

just enter the password and hit return.

If you do a Get Info on the selected Photoshop icon in the Finder, you

Best Mac/Photoshop CS3 set up.

Hello,
I have been reading several posts throughout the forums and would like to confirm a few things on the best MAC/Photoshop CS3 set up.
Here are my specs:
MacPro 2 x 2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon - MAC OS 10.5.4
PS CS3 10.0.1 (Full CS3 as well)
18 GB 800 Mhz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Internal Drive 1 = 320GB from Apple, partitioned in half. 50% OS, System Drive, Applications, etc. 50% Scratch disc.
Internal Drive 2 = 320GB Hitachi Main Media/working Files
External Drive 1 = 750GB GTECH SATA II, 7200 RPM/16MB cache - Secondary Freelance Media/working Files
External Drive 2 = 1TB Maxtor, 1 Touch. I'm not too fond of this drive, but I have it and use for a dedicated B/u, Super-Duper and Time Machine. (FYI - I also have an off-site b/u server)
I believe I have searched and read most of the recent posts on the subject. But, maybe I missed something. If so, please provide a link. Here are the two that I thought were most relevant to my question.
"Optimize performance in Photoshop CS3 & Memory allocation and usage (Photoshop CS2)" and all the associated links provided. http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbb6813
"Scratch Disc/RAM allocation issues" http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b5c2e9
Thank You!
What I do primarily with the system:
Graphic Design for both print and the website design. Occasionally very large files for vehicle wraps and/or large format banners.
New on the horizon: HD Video Editing/Final Cut. I know that is another forum. But if you have experience with that, please chime in. If necessary, I can take that part of the conversation to another forum. My primary focus is performance with CS3, most of my time being spent in PS.
So, here is my questions:
1) Is my current set up the best for PS CS3 performance?
2) Have I missed anything?
3) Can/should I reduce the scratch disc size? Is this size overkill?
19GB Ram, Set PS Memory Usage to 100% "Available-Memory Allowance"
150GB dedicated scratch disc
Thank you in advance,
Steve

A Quick Update:
I did not touch either of the external drives. While I was deciding on what to do, another situation arose; Remember part of my original post, "New on the horizon: HD Video Editing/Final Cut."? Well this has come to a head and I needed to move forward on this. After a bit of research, I quickly realized I had a bigger problem... Disc space HD Video Editing. This forced a new purchase of two internal 1 TB Drives.
Here is the adjusted set up;
(2) 23" HP2335's
MacPro 2 x 2.8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon - MAC OS 10.5.4
18 GB 800 Mhz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Internal Drive 1 = 320GB from Apple, Dedicated System Drive, Applications, etc.
Internal Drive 2 = 320GB Hitachi partitioned in half. 50% Main Media/working Files, etc. 50% Scratch disc.
Internal Drive 3 = 1TB Seagate Barracuda - (awaiting set recommendation. Slotted as FCE Scratch)
Internal Drive 4 = 1TB Seagate Barracuda - (awaiting set recommendation. Slotted as FCE BU until an external is available)
External Drive 1 = 750GB GTECH SATA II, 7200 RPM/16MB cache - Personal Freelance Media/working Files
External Drive 2 = 1TB Maxtor, 1 Touch. I'm not too fond of this drive, but I have it and use for a dedicated Time Machine B/U. (FYI - I also have an off-site b/u server)
Thats all for now.
Thank you for all those who commented.
Steve
Ps. The part of my original post: "I can take that part of the conversation to another forum." I will be posting in the FCE forum.

Anti Virus Software/ Mac Cleaning software - is it necessary?

Hi,
I was wondering if investing in any type of anti virus/ mac cleaning software would be worthwhile?
I was looking at Clean my Mac from MacPaw http://macpaw.com/index and Norton AntiVirus for Mac. I was wondering if it would help, because for the few viruses that it would find on a Mac, the extra program running constantly in the background might slow it down even more.
Any opinions/ suggestions are appreciated.

HI,
Just to make you aware there are no Mac viruses in the wild but if you want to use anti virus software get ClamXav
Word to the wise. Norton is the worst software on the planet. It is literally a virus in itself. If you instal it, only an erase and install can rid you of it.
And keep in mind, any anti virus software has a tendency to slow the system down. So if you notice a lag... you'll know why.
Check out the post here by Klaus1: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9487317#9487317
I've never used Clean My Mac before... so I really can't offer any advice on that one.

Find & fix broken Mac files || make my Mac cleaner

Good afternoon folks,
I have decided to clean up all the mess in my Mac a little bit.
So, I would like to ask you:
is there any software (or maybe I could do something by myself to deal with this issue) which could find and fix broken Mac files?
is there any software (or maybe I could do something by myself to deal with this issue) which could make my Mac cleaner, like deleting cache or broken "trash" files, in other words, by this way making my Mac work faster?
Talking about my Mac, it is a new MacBook pro 15-inch model, with the highest specifications, which was bought in this June. It has also installed Mac OS, Lion inside.
Thank you in advance.

If you think your hard drive is corrupt, repair it as Sonicray has suggested. As to whether the contents of a file are bad, only the program that created the file can possibly know that, except for certain standard formats like JPEG. What kind of files are you worried about?
is there any software (or maybe I could do something by myself to deal with this issue) which could make my Mac cleaner, like deleting cache or broken "trash" files, in other words, by this way making my Mac work faster?
There are many programs that will clean your caches to "make your Mac faster." Which begs the question: why is the cache there in the first place? To give cache cleaners something to do? No. The answer is that the cache is there to keep your Mac running fast, and constantly clearing it out interferes with that and will actually harm performance! Clearing caches should be a troubleshooting step only, not regular maintenance as many would have you believe.
Not sure what "broken trash files" are...
Basically, your Mac does not need any constant fussing-with to keep it running well, like a Windows machine does. Keep about 10% or more of the hard drive free at all times, check the hard drive with Disk Utility before installing any system updates, and keep a good set of backups. That's about all you need to do regularly.

Should I use Mac Cleaner that pops up on my screen?

Is Mac Cleaner ok to use?

No. Never respond to so called cleaners, optimizers, etc that may pop-up on the computer.

I would like to know if there is any free mac clean up app available online?

How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
The free anti-malware application ClamXav is not crap, and although it’s not routinely needed, it may be useful in some environments, such as a mixed Mac-Windows enterprise network.
4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

Can I safely use mac clean?

I'm having trouble streaming video, specifically the video pauses and will not restart. Rebooting laptop helps for awhile, but not very long. I'm thinking I need to clean the temporary files, cookies, etc. Thanks for any help.

"Accumulated filth" is NOT the problem, and Mac Clean will not help you.
A failing Hard drive may be the problem, so top priority is to make adequate backups in case your drive stops working completely.
Not having adequate RAM is often the reason for performance problems. Quitting un-needed Applications and especially sync-ing Applications can help.
Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory and determine how much RAM is being used (OS X Mountain Lion and earlier)

What is the best mac cleaner and anti virus for mac pro.

what is the best mac cleaner and anti virus for mac pro.

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 judgment, 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.

Mac Dreamweaver CS3 (and only DW) will not install - Web Premium Suite

[Previously posted here - suggested to post here instead]
cannot install Dreamweaver CS3. The error is shown here:
http://flickr.com/photos/ianlloyd/1140427313/
Note: I previously took part in the DW9 (aka CS3?) beta
program but consistently had problems trying to install, so I
probably have some cruft left over.
Note also: I have used Spotlight to find anything with
Dreamweaver in the title that does not relate to DreamWeaver 8
(which is the version that I currently have running on my Mac with
no problems).
Please advise:
# What file on my system is leading CS3 installer to believe
I have CS3 installed so that I can zap it
# Any other clean-up operation I can try to resolve this.
Many thanks

Hi, Ian-
Definitely try using the CS3 Cleanup Script to remove
conflicting libraries/files/extensions/etc before another clean
install from the DVD. You can download the right version for your
platform (Mac?) here:
CS3
Cleanup Scripts
Don't forget to restart after running the scripts- often
components can remain referenced in memory after removal. Hope this
helps out!
best- Scott

Progressbar on Mac AE CS3 & CS4

Hey guys. Weird problem here. Seems Progressbar update in CS3 and CS4 (not sure about CS5) doesn't work properly on MAC. But I guess this is a known issues.
Any ways, I am building my progress bar window like this:
var PBWin = new Window ('palette', 'Progress Window', undefined);
var ProgressBar = PBWin.add('progressbar', undefined, 0, 100);
and later in my code in some for/loop I am incrementing ProgressBar values.
All works nice on CS6 and above, but cannot figure out how to make them work on CS3 and CS4. Any ideas?
I searched forum and found Update() option. But this only works for Window objects. However, if I change my "Palette" to "Window" that problem still appeas.
So is the a workaround with ProgressBars on MAC specific that work on CS3 and CS4?
From Peter Kahrel document scriptui-2-2.pdf if says:
Note: in scripts that use progress bars, you cannot set app.scriptPreferences.enableRedraw to false. If you do, the progress bar doesn't display correctly. This is on Macs only.
But that's irrelevant to AE, is it? Becouse it throws me an error when I try to add app.scriptPreferences.enableRedraw = true.

He didn't use Mocha, these clips aren't too recent...
Well, I know that the animated parts were done literally by hand, stop-motions, then saved as little transparent movies or animated gifs then loaded onto the filmed video..
So you think there isn't tracking really?? How could I make something pop up a book like this, when you look at it in slow motion, the animated shapes actually change perpectives and sort of disappear into the book... Does simple motion tracking tweek the "tracking object" as its tracking area interpolates??
Thanks

Is there a way to export 2 different pdf's in one export command? Mac IND CS3

Hi. I was just wondering if there is a way, via script or some other way to export my layouts done in Adobe InDesign CS3 (Mac) into two different kinds of pdf's - one in low-resolution pdf, and onother in press ready high resolution pdf -- both done in one command? What I am doing now is export first as low res, then export again using high-res settings. I haven't got time to study scripting yet, so if there is a script available, or a shortcut command, that would save me valuable time everyday. Thanks!

There's no way to do this automatically in Indesign.
What I do is export the file as a high res PDF. It opens automatically in Acrobat. Then I choose "Advanced:PDF Optimizer," where I've set up a profile that creates a low-res version, and I save that with a different name. That gives considerable control, but probably is as much work as what you do, although it might be slightly faster.

I had to wipe my mac clean but not my iPhoto is gone and so are my pics? how do i get it back

I had a problem with the internet on my mac and had to take my mac in and they wided the device clean. I lost my iphoto if I redownload iphoto is there a sign in where my photos are stored?

You wiped your drive and have no backups, so all your data are gone. Lesson learned: always have backups BEFORE you start wiping drives or deleting files.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
