Hi connecting M,
ProductType this value stores data that identifies the operating system platform running on the computer. This data lets programs identify and customize their features to the platform. More information, please see:
ProductType
ProductSuite stores data that identifies a special operating system variation running on the computer. This entry lets programs identify and customize their features to the platform. See:
ProductSuite

What's the best sytem to run CS2 production suite?
I'm stuck with using my old windows CS2 Production Suite but need a to build new computer. I'll be manily using Premier, AE, Photo shop and Illustrator builing small aniamtions and short films... and will need lots of rendering power. I know there are limitations based on the fact that I have to have the O/S windows XP Pro but I want give it as much speed, RAM, memory etc as I can.
Should I go with a dual processor or a quad?Why are you stuck with CS2? A new machine with Vista 64 (why not wait til October and go for Win7?) and a boatload of RAM will sceam above anything you can do with XP and CS2 (which is totally unsupported under Vista).

I can understand your concern & will guide you through this.
I am so sorry to inform you that Acrobat XI Standard is not available on Mac, you can only use it on your Windows computer.

What kind of contorl in Mac works as group box in Windows?
We often use group box in Windows to group controls which have similar functions. But in Mac, it seems there is no group box. Then what kind of control works as group function in Mac? Thanks!
Editing HD-Video is one of the most intensive applications you can run.
Generally maxing out CPU und RAM should be a priority (Especially RAM since its not that expensive).
The SSD-Drive might be a good idea (speedwise) to, but it´s very expensive
Keep in mind that any MBP config should be able to handle the HD-Video. They just take longer on slower models.
If you are a professional and work wih video all day long you might want to consider an Mac Pro instead of a MacBook Pro. -

What version of FCP is referred to as "Production Suite"?
thanks in advance!!
As I recall, the "Production Suite" included FCP 5.0. When FCP 5.1 was released (the first 'universal' version), the name of the complete package changed to "Final Cut Studio."
The PAID upgrades went something like this:
FCP 1
FCP 2
FCP 3
FCP 4
FCP 4.5 (aka FCP HD)
FCP 5 (was also included in the "Production Suite")
FCP 5.1 (only sold as part of Final Cut Studio - aka the "Universal" version)
FCP 6 (only sold in the Final Cut Studio 2 package)
FCP 7 (only sold in the Final Cut Studio 2009 package - aka Final Cut Studio 3)

What kind of approach for new XML-based clients
Hi.
Our firm is using Oracle-technology everywhere, and now we would
like to find out what kind of XML-based technology would suit us
best for a new generation of our products.
Our products are now using old Forms 3-clients and we're doing a
research on replacing this technology with Internet-based
clients. Java-clients are one option, but now we'd really like
to know about thin-clients which wouldn't have much code run on
the server. We have already done extranet-clients with OAS
PL/SQL-cartridges and have found out that HTML-clients require
much work and can't have too much logic on them.
So, we have already OAS running on Oracle 8.0.5.1.0 -server and
would like to know what kind of XML-strategy would be a
reasonable solution. I know about these tools: XML Parser for
xx, XML SQL Utility for Java, XSQL Servlet.
-But what would be a reasonable combination of these and what
kind of thin-client could we use? XSL?
-What kind of development tools could we use for clients (or do
we have to use text-editors)?
-Which of these tools require Oracle 8i and is it stupid to even
think about XML-based applications without Oracle 8i?
Thanks,

nullNO. Have you taken a look at the specs page for Mac Pro?
Or when you go to OWC for Mac Pro Memory.
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory
2GB modules are better, especially if you need more than 4GB, but you want to have 4 DIMMs, 4 x 2GB or 4 x 1GB.

What kind of antivirus do you suggest for mac OS X Maverics?
What kind of antivirus do you suggest for OS X Maverics?
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.
