  • Mavericks: Sys Prefs:"Security" pane:"Privacy" tab: how can I identify apps controlling my Mac ?

    In the Mavericks: System Preferences:"Security" pane:"Privacy" tab:"Accessability" window -- how can I identify the 'paths' of apps that are allowed to control my Mac ?
    I currently have two apps named "Installer" , and I can't know where they are located, on my filesystem , so I don't know whether-or-not to uncheck their boxes !
    I have an Apple Support document, but it doesn't answer my issue:
    OS X: Using AppleScript with Accessibility and Security features in Mavericks

    If you have third party download and or installer software applications that you continue to use, then do not uncheck those items in Accessibility and Security in Mavericks. They are used to control your downloads  but if you are finished with the software uncheck and  said items.  Remember you can always recheck them anytime.

  • How can i clean up my mac for free

    how can i clean up my mac for free

    You may find this post helpful 1doran: have problems cleaning up my mac
    Read the cautions regarding deleting language resources.
    A reliable program that claims the intelligence to automatically discriminate between required and superfluous files does not exist. Such one-size-fits-all "clean up" utilities frequently don't know the difference between required system components and trash, and can easily result in a broken Mac.
    If you are running low on disk space you can buy a bigger disk. They are not expensive. In the meantime you can read the techniques here to determine if there are any large files you can safely delete using the tools already built into every Mac, including recommendations for some free utilities you can use to easily identify large files.

  • How can i identify multiple apple devices under a same appleID for Facetime usage ?

    hi
    i have an apple ID and multiple apple devices
    i want to be able to use facetime to communicate between my various devices
    so, how can i identify my ipad from my ipod from my mac, so that i can do facetime between the three, using the same appleID ?
    thanks

    I found this discussion because I need to create dozens of Apple IDs for the faculty and staff of the school for which I'm the IT Director.
    This is weak.
    Apple, PLEASE upgrade the Apple ID system so it represents the current needs and paradigm.
    What am I thinking, Apple (like Google) don't follow user discussion forums, except by accident when an employee sees something and is motivated enough to carry the water for users in need.

    The Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4 — allowing you to connect to an external DVI monitor. It can also be used in combination with the Apple DVI to ADC adapter to support older Apple flat panel Studio or Cinema Displays.

  • How can I set up my Mac for two users to share photos, music etc

    How can I set up my Mac for two users to share photos, music etc?

    On the Mac with the libraries you want to share:
    iTunes Preferences click on the Sharing tab and put a tick in 'Share by library on local network'.
    iPhoto Preferences click on Sharing and put a tick against 'Share my photos'.
    When launching the same apps on other Macs on the network the libraries should be available, listed on the left.

  • How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

    How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing? 
    I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production.  It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini.  Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air. 
    My two problems: 
    1.  I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing.  What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
    2.  The less lag the better for screen sharing.  Which apps are fastest?
    Thanks in advance.

    Both of your devices have WiFi built in. Here is Apple Support's solution:

  • How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline via HDMI

    How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline in FCP 7 (yes, I have X, but I'm using 7 right now). I have two monitors running from TB2, but want to have the third for a client monitor.
    If I use all three via TB2, it's literally three monitors, and I want to edit on my CineDisplay. I only want the client to see the timeline video on the third monitor. When I hook up HDMI I get no signal, in fact, I can't have the HDMI cable hooked up for TB2 to work with the third.

    If you use all ThunderBolt displays, or stick with DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort (free conversion between the two with only a cheap cable) you can have up to six displays.
    If you attach "legacy" displays with "any-old adapter", you can have up to two, and the built-in HDMI counts as one if you use it.
    Any more requires ACTIVE Adapters.
    The US$100 Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter works in every case, even displays over 1920 wide.
    StarTech and Accell make US$35 ACTIVE adpters that work for displays up to 1920 wide.

    Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
    Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
    Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

    I have very little space left on the hard drive on my macbook, on my storage report it says "other" is taking up more than two thirds of the space on the hardrive. How can I identify what these files are?

    Hello,
    There is free software you can download that gives you a graphical image of what files are used on your hard drive. http://www.derlien.com/
    This may help you clean down your hard drive for more space.
    Best of luck

  • How can I avoid (on a mac) getting called on Skype...

    How can I avoid (on a mac) getting called on Skype when I'm not signed in?
    It's really annoying.
    I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that way, but suddenly I get the skype-calling-sound, and I have to log into the skype app to abort the call. The persistent calling bastards kept on calling after I aborted the call and left the app, so I ended up muting my speakers for a while. It really shouldn't have to be this troublesome.

    That's like asking how many cows can I get into a field.  It depends on the size of the field, size of the cows, the terrain of the field, etc.  We could use a bit more information on what you're trying to accommplish:
    1 - where are the photos being downloaded from.
    2 - how big are the photos?
    3 - where are you going to put the photos, i.e. into folders, into an iPhoto library?
    4 - how big is the hard drive in the Mac Pro and how much free space do you have on it?
    etc., etc, etc......
