What anti-theft tracking software does apple suggest?

Primarily to setup Find My on the hardware and register it in iCloud so it may or may not show up depending on being turned on, attached to internet, etc.
Of course, for that to work you need Mac OS X 10.7.2 or higher so you have access to iCloud.

    Do I have to install AV software
    No. OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. You do not need to install anything else. Nearly all commercial "anti-virus" Mac software will cause problems.

    Afraid they don't have anything to replace DVD SP. Your alternatives are Adobe Encore (which is EOL) or Toast, or IDVD (which can still be found in boxed sets of iLife).
    But getting back to DVD SP and your data transfer, what do you mean by that? What exactly did you do and what happened with the application? I'm running it on 10.7 and it works, but it's from the FCS3 suite; is yours FCS2?.

  • HT1338 What anti-virus software shall I use for my Mac OS X 10.6.8?

    What anti-virus software shall I use for my Mac OS X 10.6.8?

    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac will NOT be infected by a virus, it may have other security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
    You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful: The User Tip seeks to offer guidance on the main security threats and how to avoid them.

  • Anti theft software for s60 v5?

    Is there any good effective anti-theft solution for the nokia s60v5? I use the nokia 5233. The software should preferably be free. thanks.

    There is also the F-secure Anti Theft software for free from Ovi Store. Mind you now that none of these will actually get you your phone back. But they will stop the thief from accessing your information.
    You should also just consider just using the built in security features on your phone in Security Settings>Phone and Sim Card. Here you can set the phone to lock when the sim card is changed and you can also set thephone to lock when you send an sms to it. 

  • What is the best anti-theft software for a laptop?

    Hi-
    My daughter is off to college tomorrow and I thought it would be a good idea to install some anti-theft/retrival software on her brand new 2.4 Ghz Mac Book.
    I thought I would wait until she's there so it has the college server/IP address.
    Any recommendations?
    Thanks-

  • What anti-virus software should I buy?

    I own a macbook pro and I have had it for 2 1/2 years. Recently, safari has not been running smoothly as I have often have to close pages since they will not load. I worry that I may have a virus. However, even if I do not have one, I figure that it will be more secure to have an anti-virus software on my computer anyway. I do not know much about computers but through my little bit of research, I have found that mackeeper is not a good software to buy. Does anyone have any suggestions on which software to buy as well as how to speed up my computer? Thank you.

  • What kind of configuring does Apple do when buying an iPad?

    I've noticed that when you buy an iPad-mini Retina wi-fi + cellular at store.apple.com, and you select the options that you want, that the following statement appears when you select the carrier:
    "Your iPad will be configured to operate with the carrier you choose right out of the box."
    What kind of configuring is going on here? Does Apple simply use the iPad itself to fill in the Cellular Data settings for the chosen carrier and perhaps edit the APN appropriately? Or is there more to it than that? If so, what?
    As part of this step does Apple insert the appropriate nano-sim card into the iPad tray before it is shipped to the buyer?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Hi Eric,
    I bought an iPad Air 64 GB Verizon Cellular. When I received it I set it up then called verizon. The iPad was ready to connect to Verizon and I could add it to my plan. The cellular setup took about 5 minutes, most of that was a reboot while it propagated itself onto the verizon network. The sim was already installed and the iPad was easy to configure.
    That beats the heck out of driving 6o miles, in my case, to a verizon store, getting a sim, setting up the iPad and driving home another 60 miles.

  • What Anti-Virus Software for E72 would you recomme...

    Hi, what would you recommend for an anti-virus software for E72? Thanks.

    Hello,
    Various anti-malware vendors are still going through the Windows 8 certification process for their software with Microsoft, however, many of them already have products that work under Windows 8.  Two testing organizations, AV-Comparatives and AV-Test, have been keeping track of which products work under Windows 8, and the results can be found on their respective web sites:
    AV-Comparatives:  Windows 8 Approved Security Products
    AV-Test: Security Products for Windows 8 (Home User)
    I would recommend checking each list frequently, as they seem to be getting updated on a daily basis.

  • What anti-theft solutions are best for the ipad?

    Hello,
         I would like to know which anti-theft solutions are best for the IPad. I am ordering several for work and I would like to know. Thanks.

    It depends upon how far you are willing to go.  Keeping it locked in a bank vault comes to mind but I suppose you want more flexibility.  Are you talking about physical attachment or just something to discourage a thief, or something to protect data integrity in case of theft? Realize that in many situations somebody may steal something and only later check if it has any value.  If it doesn't they will toss it in the nearest river, but you've still lost it.  As for iPads, a thief can reset one and it's like new.
    Find My iPad - http://www.apple.com/ipad/icloud/#find - has to be enabled before device is lost.  It also requires the device be on and connected to registered WiFi network or data service, and not having been restored by the finder (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it).  If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
    Setting up iCloud (requires iOS5) - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html - includes activating the 'Find My' feature.

  • Forgot to turn off anti-theft before doing a security wipe

    Hi,I am new to this forum and in serious need of help.Last night, i wanted to do a factory reset on my phone.I did not do any back up, instead i imported all important media and documents using the blackberry link. I couldnt get my blackberry ID working so mistakenly "DELETED" the id instead of just asking for a resetBlack berry link has a button for factory reset, which i wanted to do, so i proceed with that and the reset start also.The problem is, I am now stuck on the process of reconfiguring my phone. It is asking for a blackberry username and password which i "deleted" earlier, So i had to resetup my blackberry id only to find out it is no long associated with my phone.whenever i try to use the id and password, it gives an error "The blackberry protect anti-theft feature is on. Please sign in with the blackberry ID used to set up this device"Please advice on how can i resolve this issue. 

    Unfortunately, you're not in a good situation.  Here is BlackBerry's official word on this issue:
    If you purchased your device from ShopBlackBerry, Amazon (US/UK) or the Porsche Design Store, please contact BlackBerry using the details found on our Contact Us page.
    BlackBerry Contact Us > http://blck.by/1MxtqPR
    If you purchased your device from a wireless service provider, or a retail store in person, or online, please contact them for assistance.
    When contacting your point of purchase, please have the following prepared;
    DO NOT POST THIS INFORMATION IN THESE FORUMS
    -Your BlackBerry ID
    -Proof of purchase such as a receipt
    -A copy of your wireless bill that shows your phone #
    -A copy of your Government issued ID
    Thanks,
      So, you will need to contact your provider (assuming you purchased it from them) and have them escalate you to BlackBerry. 

  • What kind of adhesive does Apple use?

    The bottom case of my TiBook is a little loose at the battery corner. When I type and rest my palms on the top case, it kind of "pops" or "clicks" a bit as the pressure moves the top and bottom cases together. It's not a big deal, but it's annoying enough to want to fix. I tried to get the folks at my local Apple repair center to deal with it under Applecare (I have about a month left.) They said it wasn't a warrantied problem, but they did offer to glue it for free. I didn't think that was a good idea, so I declined. I have since been told that Apple glued the bottom cases of the TiBook to the frame at the factory, so that would have been the appropriate repair.
    If that's true, what kind of adhesive did Apple use for that, and exactly where was the glue applied? It must have been a prettty strong glue, and sparsely applied, as I didn't see any traces of it when I took the bottom off the computer. In any event, if gluing is the right move, I'd just as soon do it myself. The repair center would take at least a week, since they're usually so backed up. But I don't want to use anything that might damage the case or leak into anything.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The metal skin is really glued around the edge by a plastic frame. It is this frame that holds the skin to the main frame and can give problems.
    I had to open my ti case to install an airport card. I either did it wrong or the apple glue job was poor because the gray plastic trim around the edge of the metal skin had come loose over 50% of the circumference.
    I had a commercial 3M rubber cement on hand so I used that. I applied it with a toothpick very sparingly (of course the rubber cement gets stringy so the job was a ittle messy).
    I let dry in a warm room for 24 hours. The reason I did that was fumes from curing glue can be caustic and attack some very thin metals etc. I fugured I wanted to lose any fumes before I trapped them in the warm computer.
    It worked well and I haven't had a repeat of the problem.
