Data security on Macbook Pro 13.3 2.26gHtz

Hi Experts,
I made the recent switch from Windozzz to Macbook Pro and I am loving it every bit although I am totally new to the OS. I have some basic questions.
1. How do we secure our data in Mac. I the sense, lets say i have 100 images and some files. There is something called as encription under Security. I enabled that, set a master password. My question is that lets say for some reason, I have to take the laptop to the service center and leave it there, will they be able to view all my personal files? Is there a way to secure our data so that the service people cannot view them? Or is that functionality not available on Mac OS.
2. I noticed a significant difference in colors if I use the color RGB. The web images look fine if I use sRGB. IS that the common practice for other users as well? The colorRGB looks too yellow and grainy.
thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Sunil

Create an encrypted disk image, and store your secure files there. Those are encrypted with 256-bit AES (theoretically unbreakable, at least for now).

(Note - be sure to UNcheck the box to store the password in the keychain, and then never forget that password, or the data are gone).
For the internal display, you should use the Color LCD display profile (the only one that shows up if you check the box to 'Show profiles for this display only'. Using a 'canned' profile for another type of monitor will generally not give good results. Alternatively, click the Calibrate button and customize your calibration.

Mac defender security update, macbook pro no longer boots up

I applied the security update and then tried to reboot my macbook pro. Black screen, doesn't reboot. I tried to start up in single user mode, reset the PRAM ... and nothing. My macbook pro is now a brick. Wow. Good thing I applied a security update for something I would never be stupid enough to click on in the first place.
Any help would be appreciated...

Greetings,
The security update is software only. It has no impact on the hardware of the computer.
Do you get a boot chime at startup?
Do you hear / feel fan movement or any other evidence of activity from within the case of the computer?
Reset the SMC and then test: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Try plugging the AC Adapter (3-prong not the 2-prong) into a different power outlet.
Try running the computer with the battery out if your model allows removal of the battery.
If the issue persists after you follow the above steps, you may wish to make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store, contact AppleCare via phone, or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.

How do I secure erase macbook pro 2012 retina for resale

How do I secure/erase and set to factory settings 15" Macbook Pro 2012 retina) for resale?

Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
Be sure you disable or turn off iCloud. Deauthorize the computer in iTunes. Remove any Firmware Passwords you may have configured. Turn off FileVault if enabled.

Erase Data Securely from MacBook Pro

I have a summer 2009 model MacBook Pro that I want to sell. How do I securely erase all personal data from the MacBook Pro?

Here's a link with a lot of good info on preparing a Mac for sale:

Don't forget to deauthorize the computer from iTunes if you have an iTunes account.
Good luck!

Network Security on Macbook Pro, Mountain Lion

Since I upgraded to WPA2 Security, my Network Name in System Preferences does not show a Security Lock anymore. Every other Name in the Listing of Network Names has a Security Lock. I was told that the lock does not always show next to the Network Name even if the Network is secure. Can I trust this or do I have to change my router? Thanks for a reply.

IF you really enabled WPA2 at your router than the connection is secured with that. So must be a bug with the MAC software.

Security breach MacBook pro O S X 10.6.8

I started having issues the other day with messages popping up saying that my computer security was compromised and to call a phone number and they tried to sell me some fix and that I have been compromised and my computer information has been taken by others. Now the messages just pop up and new screens come up on their own. What do I do are my options to only take into Apple genius bar or cn i somehow fix online? thanks

The security on your Mac has not been breached.
It is a scam. Don't call the phone number they will steal your ID only.
Shut down Safari.
Restart with Shift key depressed.
If that doesn't work shut down Safari and disconnect Mac from network then restart Safari.

Antivirus and Internet Security for Macbook Pro

I see adds for software like Mac Cleaner all over the place. Should I have a Antivirus program on my Mac. I know it is neccessary on PC based equipment but I am not sure if I need it for Mac OS. Can someone help or offer a suggestion?

Mac OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of Mac OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of trojans, which can only work if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
“Cracked” versions of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed, because those older operating systems are no longer being maintained by Apple. Migrate to a newer version of the Mac OS as soon as you can.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.

Problems since last security update (macbook pro)

Hi,
I ran the security update. Since then I got the following problems:
- wont wake up after sleep, only pushing the start button for a few secs will restart the system.
- mail crashes, by now and then
please any clues.
Tineke

Odd that you're running 10.4.2 and you installed the security update. Did you manually install it or was it installed using Software Update? Are you running 10.4.2 or 10.4.8? If you are running 10.4.8 try downloading the combo updater and run that. Do repair permissions before and after.

How do i connect 5.1 speakers to my macbook pro?

Hey, so I got a pair of logitec X540 speakers the other day, and they have three cords that I need to connect to my computer, but we only get the headphoe jack. Ho do I make them work?
Thanks

"Computer speakers" Basically no. They mosty are either stereo analog (for music playback) or 5.1 gaming PC speakers that are married to a 5.1 sound card for PC towers.
You would have to have a stereo reciever and 5.1 speakers that can accept:
1: Toslink optical inputs
2: Decode Dolby Surround Sound
3: The media your playing back must have a Dolby sound option.
Most 5.1 computer speaker setups are for gaming PC towers and takes a sound card that does the processing for each channel, has three analog wires
Wire 1: Left and Right front channels
Wire 2: Left and Right rear channels
Wire 3: Subwoofer and center, common ground (returns all the used electrons to complete the loop)
Your Mac has none of these, it's just a stereo analog, 2.0, a left and right channel, common ground (three sections on the plug)
So no you can't use a PC based 5.1 system on a Mac, unless you bridge the first two wires either with adapters or splicing the cables. Then it's not true surround sound, just two stereo channels that fills the room with sound.
With true surround sound, you can hear people creep up behind you, bullets whizz by your face, planes flying past overhead. It's a more immersive experinece.
So unless the "computer 5.1 speakers" has it's own Toslink optical inputs and decodes Dolby (and other) surround sound formats, has a built in amplifier to power speakers, then no. As most 5.1 comptuer speakers are designed for PC 3D gaming, thus inexpensive.
The Mac market for 3D gaming is rather small, tiny in fact. I haven't seen any "computer speaker" setup with the required stuff to playback true suround sound.
Mac's are used for music and video production, that's why they have the better optical ports.
Your just going to have to buy a home theater system to playback Dolby 5.1

Brand New MacBook Pro - HOT HOT HOT To hot for lap

I have had my MacBook for only 24 hours and i think something is wrong.
Its so hot on the bottom i cant put it on my lap. i bet its at least 90 degrees.
is this ok. It cant be.

Read your User Guide around Page 62 - Safety:
*Handling your MacBook Pro* Set up your MacBook Pro on a stable work surface that
allows for adequate air circulation under and around the computer. Do not operate
your MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the
airflow vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your computer.
Never push objects into the ventilation openings.
The bottom of your MacBook Pro may become very warm during normal use. If your
MacBook Pro is on your lap and gets uncomfortably warm, remove it from your lap and
place it on a stable work surface.

Macbook pro bluetooth cutting out

I have Bose Soundlink Wireless Mobile Speaker (bluetooth) connected to my 15" MacBook Pro Retina iTunes 11.0.5. I am also using bluetooth Apple Mighty mouse connected. The music is cutting off for less than a second periodically like every 10-15 seconds when I play music and listen via Bose SoundLink. I also noticed the warning from my computer that I lost my mouse connection and it reconnect. Does any one have the same issue? And deos any one figuered out what's going on? Is it a glitch in the OS 10.8.4?
