What happens if I installed Norton Online Family?

I had not read that Norton software is not compatible with Apple until just now! Stupidly, I didn't realize that the computer had its own parental control function.
I am a new Mac owner and I love it! The ease and simplicity of a Mac makes me wish I had switched a long time ago. Please don't tell me I've already ruined my short marriage with my mac because of a dumb rookie mistake?
Please help me and I promise I'll research things better before installing. Thank you!

Yes, Norton is notoriously bad for Mac. I don't know anything about the Norton product you installed but it should come with an uninstaller?
If not try looking on the Symantec Support site.
EDIT: Here we go!

Judging by the numerous posts on here, there is a very good chance that the computer will not boot up.

On openbox what happens if i install gnome-vfs ???

i have an openbox system
with thunar and without nautilus or gnome apps ....
so, what happens if i install gnome-vfs ??? there will be any software problems such as conflicts
OR
how i can stop this service ???
thanks to all

It will destroy your system. You can't believe how Gnome and Openbox hate each other's guts!
Seriously... Did you try it with pacman? If there are conflicts, pacman should detect them. And pacman, upon inquiring it about gnome-vfs, should tell you exactly what it will pull in.

NORTON ONLINE FAMILY EXTENSION GETTING DISABLED

My norton family safety plug-in is constantly being disabled by other users of the same machine (Windows 7). I would like to ask what can I do to prevent the other users belonging to the user group to not be able to access the Firefox options menu option or change any settings in firefox.

This is a Norton problem not a Firefox problem. You would be best finding a suitable Norton forum to discuss this matter.
I am not sure exactly what Norton product you use but possibly this is related:

What happens to my installed CS6 Master Suite apps with CC?

Hi -
This line of questioning may be the product of a suspicious mind but - what happens to my investment of Adobe applications when I subscribe to CC?
Will they be overwritten or deactivated?
If I'm in a situation where I have no access to the Cloud, will I be able to use my installed Master Suite CS6 applications seamlessly? What Adobe apps WOULD I be able to use if I have no connectivity?
Thanks.
JL

Jlucchesi your CS6 Master Collection license will continue to be applied to your currently installed software. If you decided to download and install additional CS6 software then you can apply your Creative Cloud license to those newly installed CS6 applications.
If you are annual subscriber then it is only necessary for you to be online once every 99 days to verify your active subscription for your desktop products.

What happens if I install Snow Leopard OS X?

My system doesn't work quite well, and I wanna know, what happens if I insert my original Snow Leopard disk and install Mac OS X all over again... what would happen to my files, songs, pictures, applications, settings...???
Would they be the same, and only OS would format or what?
Thank you in advance!

This is an engaging issue - Snow Leopard is actually supposed to create more hard drive space than older OSXes. Interesting. In any case, here is a thread about detailing and managing hard drive space and hard drive data. http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12668131
PS - I searched for the thorough Apple.com version of Snow Leopard Installation A-Z and failed to locate it. Here is a facsimile article (quite concise & thorough): http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/171028/installingsnow_leopard_what_you_need_toknow.html

Acrobat 6.0.6 Pro already installed: What happens when I install Adobe Reader 9.1

Hello:
I have Adobe Acrobat 6.0.6 Professional edition already installed.
I'd like to upgrade to Adobe Reader 9.1, by downloading and installing from here
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Question:
Will the Adobe Acrobat Pro 6.06 be automatically uninstalled during the installation of the 9.1 reader?
If so, how would I get it back again if I should want to at a later time?
Can Adobe Acrobat Professional Edition 6.0 coexist somehow with Adobe Reader 9.1?
Thanks in advance:

Hi Mandy. Have you tried starting a thread in these forums to work on your issue? I can assure you that your experience isn't the same experience that everyone else has. Also sounds like you are strictly dealing with Reader whcih isn't the same as what's happening in this thread.
Start a new thread and give as much detail as you can.

What happens if I install another profile

I want to install a tapjoy profile on my iPhone 4S but I wanna know what will happen then

You might have problems if you try use:
Lion Internet Recovery
If you happen to encounter a situation in which you cannot start from the Recovery HD, such as your hard drive stopped responding or you installed a new hard drive without Mac OS X installed, new Mac models introduced after public availability of OS X Lion automatically use the Lion Internet Recovery feature if the Recovery HD (Command-R method above) doesn't work. Lion Internet Recovery lets you start your Mac directly from Apple's Servers. The system runs a quick test of your memory and hard drive to ensure there are no hardware issues.
Lion Internet Recovery presents a limited interface at first, with only the ability to select your preferred Wi-Fi network and, if needed, enter the WPA passphrase. Next, Lion Internet Recovery will download and start from a Recovery HD image. From there, you are offered all the same utilities and functions described above.
I think that check user acounts before allowing a download.

What happen to existing money when activating family sharing

Hi,
I would consider to use family sharing but all accounts already have money in them. We were used to buying app store cards, and we still have some to use.
So, what will happen to the money we already have in every account ?
Will it be possible to use the remaining unused app store cards while in family sharing ?
Not related to the main subject, are already bought music and apps will be available to family members ?
Thanks all

This raise one more question, does that means that purchased apps, music, books with itunes cards will be shared and will go thru the approbation process ?
François,
As the Family Organizer, you can activate the "Ask to Buy" feature for each member who is under 18.
If "Ask to Buy" is enabled, the member can only make a purchase after you give your approval. Yes, this also applies if the purchases is charged to their own credit balance (or even if it is a free download).
For more information, see this guide:

IPhoto & iTunes libraries on USB flash drive. What happens after erase/install?

Not exactly sure how much background someone like Kappy needs for this question but I'll try to not make it a novel.
My late 2010 MBA (64GB) was way low on storage so I decided to get a 64GB USB drive for it and put my iTunes and iPhoto libraries on it. Moving both libraries went exactly according to the instructions. But then after a while iPhoto started to get very slow. The spinning beach ball was running amok. This prompted me to use DU on the new flash drive which didn't show any problems. After doing that I decided to run DU on my mac HD and found a problem that coudn't be repaired without erasing and re-installing Mavericks 10.9.2..
Now, here is my current situation: I have erased and as I write this am downloading a clean copy of Mavericks from recovery. I had backed up everything to my TC just yesterday.
Here is my question:
After re-installing what do I do about telling iTunes and iPhoto where to find the libraries? Or, should I just use the copy of everything that I had backed up yesterday?
Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question. I checked to see if there was some support file for my issue but couldn't find anything that really fit.
As always, thanks for everyone's input. I always learn something from you guys.
Regards, Richard
P.S.: I realize that the problem with iPhoto might not have been the issue with my mac HD and doing what I've done may not fix it. But I wanted to fix the problem with the HD before I went any further trying to fix iPhoto. I hadn't had issues with iTunes functioning with the flash drive, only iPhoto.

Yes, there's no real solution. Apple makes thin, small computers and devices, but of course that means no big drive to store all the bulky media Apple itself promotes on the iTunes Store. You then have to buy external storage which is almost as big as the device you are using, negating the whole concept of a mobile device. I guess you can try wireless, though I can tell you I see about 30+ wireless devices in my neighborhood and with them trying to share only 3 non-overlapping channels I frequently see network slowdown through interference. Of course you bought that nice light computer so you could take it away form home too, but then you are locked into using what's available on the Internet. I guess part of Apple's answer is cloud storage and redownloading. However, Apple itself says you need to maintain your own independent archive: "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519), and, Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085 ); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.
Cloud storage is a convenience but not a replacement for a hard drive at home (and of course, works best when you buy everything from the iTunes Store).

What happens if you install Windows 8 work in Boot Camp?

Yes, I know it's not officially supported, but I've seen several references to people installing it anyway - what does and doesn't work? Can anyone explain? Magic Trackpad is allegedly problematic....
Any pointers gratefully.

It's unsupported so the outcome is kinda random, everything may work, nothing may work, or something in between. It's at your risk.

What happened? I installed 10.4 on my G4 1.33 iBook 10.4too old- problems!

Hello,
Recently I purchased a 1.33 iBook on ebay for my wife. Upon receiving it I swapped out the 40GB with a Seagate 100GB. I then installed OS 10.4 (not the iBook grey discs, but the retail version which was 10.4.2)
Well this caused problems, no mouse trackpad use, and more.
Now, the iBook install discs aren't recognized. Either they don't mount, or the computer says that it's blank or does not recognize it.
Oh, I did Erase the 100 with OS Journaled.
Now, I've never owned a computer so new that the OS retail version was older than the computer's needs.
What do I do now? I'm real close to reinstalling the 40. But if anyone can tell me how to fix this problem I'd appreciate it.
I've tried everything from target disc installing (with a 10.4.6) to external DVD drive istall.
I've done pram reset, PMU reset... basically it's like there's a firmware not present to communicate with the optical drive.
If no one has a resolution... can someone atleast tell me what I've done?
Thanks,
Dzve

Putting an older OS on a unit that required 10.4.2 was the problem. Drivers did not install and caused it to behave poorly.
Most of it regarded the disc drive. I now wonder if I could have installed patch burn once one of the OS installs worked. That might have cured it. Nonetheless, I sold the computer with full disclosure on the problem and purchased a different one for my wife.

What happens to app content/data with Family Sharing?

Hello -
My girls, 10 and 12-yrs old, have been on my Apple ID for years. We've muddled through by me just turning off and on certain permissions, but I'd like to considering Family Sharing and getting them their own Apple IDs. I just got an iPhone 6 and we're passing the iPhone 5S to my eldest daughter, so it's an opportunity to do this now.
I've read all the instructions of setting up the kids in family share and how that works - I get that.
The question I have is whether everything has to be "recreated" on her phone? So, if I set up a new Family Sharing account for her and activate it on her phone, will all of the apps and content disappear, so we have to then redownload every app? In that case, won't the apps be "empty" of data?
So, for example, she and her friends have made a bunch of Video Star videos that live in the app. I'm trying to figure out - if I set her up with a new Apple ID on Family Sharing, is all that data going to be gone?
Or, any progress in a game (like Smurfs Village that literally has been played over years - or can she sign in as me from the Game Center ID with that one to have it be the same)?
Thanks for your help -

If you re-download the apps under a different ID, you'll lose all saved data.

Icon for saved passwords is missing, as are the passwords in ver 8.0. What happened? I have Norton 360, too.

The feature does work for IE, and did for the previous version of Firefox. When I upgraded, it disappeared. I have checked tools, options, security and the appropriate boxes are checked.

Make sure are using Norton 360 v5?

What happens if you install Windows on your Mac partition

I'm curious, is there such a video on youtube that shows this?

Step One: backup
Step Two: read the pdf guide
Installing Windows normally partitions some of your hard drive (unfragmented contiguous free space) which Windows installs on.
There are dozens of links, articles, how to, just type into Bing. I think the ones with screen snapshots and well written tutorial are going to be better.
