What is the use of ntfs mac x app ?

what is the use of ntfs mac x app ? i have a seagate backup plus slim and how to use with it ?
please help ..
thanks in advance

NTFS is a Microsoft proprietary file system. A Mac can read from an NTFS formatted drive but cannot write to it. The type of app you refer to allows writing to such a drive and could be useful if you had a drive that for some reason must be in the NTFS format. If your drive is formatted as NTFS and you want to use it only on a Mac you could reformat it to MAC OS Extended as detailed in the following link (you can ignore the references to Aperture). http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3509
If you need to read and write to the drive from both a Mac and Windows computer FAT 32 is an option.
It is hard to provide the best advice for your situation without knowing more about how you intend to use the drive. Also, note that formatting will erase any data currently on that drive.

  • A weird 'person sitting at a laptop ' icon pops up suspending the use of my Mac. I see a countdown for 3 minutes and a line of letters to type in to allow me to continue working. I have 2 minutes to work. Help. What is this!

    A weird 'person sitting at a laptop ' icon pops up suspending the use of my Mac. I see a countdown for 3 minutes and a line of letters to type in to allow me to continue working. I have 2 minutes to work. Help. What is this!

    Hate to say it. I isolated this to only be happening with email/Mail program. Then ran Sophos Virus detector on it and it did show a trojan virus in my email spam folder. I eliminated it ; ran disk utility a couple of times and  I am good now. Spent the whole day on it though before I thought of using a virus scan... as soon as I started running sophos it stopped sending me the two minute timer as well--so just opening the virus software was able to disengage whatever was happening. My computer is all mac --no PC interface added at all. Hope that was that. Thank you for responding.

  • What is the use of voice recognition in mac

    What is the use of voice recognition on mac and how to use it? Sorry about the question, im new in mac! Thanks!

    If you mean speech recogniton it is a fun way of "telling" your Mac what to do.  I've been using it for years.  I only use my keyboard to type.  Everything else I "tell" it instructions like open, close, quit apps, browsers, scroll, etc.

  • What's the best antivirus for mac???should i use one or not??

    Mac's use a Unix based operating system and other controls that make it hostile for viruses to thrive.
    However it's possible to carry Windows viruses to other Windows machines by a Mac, also there might be some corruption if your dealing with a lot of Windows files.
    So all you really need is a scanner to run when you need it, something like the free ClamXav is good.
    http://www.clamxav.com/
    Apple includes a anti-trojan/malicious program type anti-malware service built into all latest versions of OS X, it works and updates in the background.
    There has been many attempts at trying to "trojan" or trick Mac users into installing rogue software on web pages. If you see soemthing like this, best to just Force Quit the browser by clicking on the Finder and selecting Force Quit from the menu.
    A alternative browser like Firefox will offer more protection.
    If you run your typical day to day operations on a Mac in what's called "Standard User", with a separate Admin User account, you'll need to update your Apple Menu > Software Update and your Apple Menu > System Preferences > Security > toggle the "Automatically Update Safe Downloads List" check box on/off about once a week.
    Standard User provides more security restrictions, but is also designed not to intrude into those who are less capable use of the computer.
    Third party plugins for your browser like Flash and Silverlight (used on Netflix) require a once a week check for updates.
    Use a free service like the Mozilla browser check here:
    https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    Always back up your personal data and never install programs that your not 100% you trust the source of.
    If you have any questions or suspicions, simply ask the opinions of the more senior users here on this forum.
    Good advice is not to install any anti-virus like Norton that demands the operating system remain a consistent state. Apple changes things all the time, which breaks software like Norton or OS X itself when a Software Update occurs.
    There are two great free 3D games, simply search for: Nexiuz Classic and Cube 2 Sauerbraten.
    If this information helped you, please click "Helpful" or "Solved" thank you.
    Good Luck and enjoy your Mac.

  • What is the difference between a mac-book, and an I-pad?

    What is the difference  between a mac-book and an I-pad?

    The Macbook is a computer (running Mac OS X), an iPad is a tablet (running iOS). What are thinking of using it for ? The Mac is more powerful than iPad, so if you need processing power then that will be better suited for your needs. If you will mainly be using it for media (films, music), internet browsing, emails, ebooks, then an iPad would be sufficient.

  • I want to submit a grant application at Pepsi refresh, however they recommend Firefox 3, 3.5 or 4 - not 3.6, which is what I'm using on my Mac 10.4.11. Can I download another version of Firefox so I can apply for this grant?

    If you want to add a new user-agent into User Agent Switcher, you go into preferences > New. Most of the blanks are filled in already, so just change the Mozilla revision number that will be at the end of the User Agent line. To fake 3.5.19, just change rv:1.9.2.19 to rv:1.9.1.19. For the description, put in "Firefox 3.5.19".

  • What are the optimal values for mac and arp timeout values

    Hi Guys.
    What are the best values for "mac address-table aging-time" and "arp timeout" by following scenarios?:
    - single sg300-10 as layer3-switch with a maximum of 10 local (direct connected) hosts
    - and a 3750x-stack with 100 local hosts + hsrp with a other stack of the same sort
    or for asa 5520 as internet gateway for 500 clients?
    I use at the moment a mac aging-time from 300 seconds and a arp timeout from 3600 seconds.
    Is this o.k.?
    Thanks.

    Marvel.
    As far as enhancing the CLI, it will of course be enhanced when new firmware releases provide new features. As far as making it more IOS-like, best to my knowledge, no.  The only other supported CLI on the SB switches are on the SX500 series and SX200E series which the CLI are all consistent. If you bought a SX500 series the commands are nearly identical minus the different feature sets.

  • What is the threat to my Mac OS from malware?

    What is the threat to my Mac OS from walware?

    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 that affects an up-to-date Mac OS system takes the form of trojans that can only operate 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.
    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 ClamXav — nothing else.

  • What is the use of this form?

    Hi all,
    What is the use of this form in include RV61B901?
    How does this code send any information to the program calling it? Is Sy-subrc global so that main program will know the reuslts?
    Code:
    FORM KOBED_901.
      DATA : l_anzpk LIKE likp-anzpk.
      SELECT SINGLE anzpk FROM likp
                          INTO l_anzpk
                          WHERE vbeln = komkbv2-vbeln.
      IF l_anzpk NE 0.
        sy-subrc = 4.
        exit.
      ENDIF.
      sy-subrc = 0.
    ENDFORM.
    Thanks,
    Charles.

    Hello,
    This form sets the value of sy-subrc(which is global) based
    on the value of l_anzpk.

  • What is the use of additon in up to 1 rows in SELECT statement

    Hi All,
             What is the use of up to 1 rows in select statement.
    for example
    SELECT kostl
          FROM pa0001
          INTO y_lv_kostl UP TO 1 ROWS
          WHERE pernr EQ pernr
          AND endda GE sy-datum.
        ENDSELECT.
    I'm unable to get in wat situations we hav to add up to 1 rows
    please help me out...
    Thanks,
    santosh.

    Hi,
    Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
    The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
    The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.
