When installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall?

when installing third party software, how do I temporarily turn off the factory installed virus sw and firewall? Is it necessary on a Mac to do so? I come from the Windows world and am still in the learning curve on the Mac.

Correct. I have not installed ANY other software for anti-virus, etc. I want to install a Synch app for my HTC phone to sych with MS Outlook 2011 installed on my Mac. HTC will not synch with it otherwise. That was really the basis for my question....if installing a non Apple app can be done without messing with factory settings on the Mac. In Windows I remember that I needed to disable Norton and the Firewall in order for installation to occur.
Thanks.

Kids are using the WiFi all night long and not sleeping... How can I temporarily turn off the WiFi at night using the Airport Extream or Airport Utility? I must keep the guest network up as I have a tenant in an apartment over my garage using that.

My kids are up all night streaming Netflix and using the WiFi on their iPads and Apple TV. The next day they don't want to get up and go to school. Is there a way I can set up a separate access point for just the kids in AirPort Extreme and then turn that one off when i go to bed? Or somehow turn off the main network when I go to bed, without having to reconfigure the entire router the next day, and then simply turn it back on the next morning? I have to keep the Guest Network up as I have a paying tenant living in an apartment over my garage that uses that network.
In the event it's not possible with the AirPort Extreme, any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You can configure the AirPort Extreme for Timed Access using the AirPort Utility. Basically what you are doing is restricting the time of a wireless device by its MAC address has access to the base station's wireless network.
To access this feature: AirPort Utility > Select the Extreme > Edit > Network tab > Enable Access Control: Timed Access Control...

Problems installing third party software on Mountain Lion.

I received message "Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers." Where is this security setting so I can change it to be able to install third party software? "
Thank you in advance.

Open the Security & Privacy preferences. Click on the General tab. At the bottom you will find your Gatekeeper settings. Click on the lock icon and authenticate so you can change the selection. If software does not have a developer's signature in it then the software will not be installed until you change the selection to "Anywhere."

How do I temporarily turn off Firefox virus protection to download an update?

How do I temporarily turn off my Firefox Virus protection to download an update for my Mobile HTC sync

Oh, that's a general instructions many installers give to avoid conflicts. I suggest ignoring that instruction and trying to install normally. After all, can you really trust a downloaded program??
Regarding your antivirus status, it's critical to have antivirus software, and Firefox doesn't offer that feature. If you check the "Security Center" in the Windows Control Panel, it should tell you whether you have antivirus software installed and, if so, which program it is. If you don't have one, try Microsoft's free one:

How do I temporarily turn off my Mac's firewall and/or virus protection so Carbonite can upload my data?

I downloaded Carbonite software to periodically back-up my data. But my Mac cannot contact the Carbonite server. I think this is because of my firewall or virus protection. How can I temporarily turn off my firewall and/or virus protection so Carbonite can upload all the data on my Mac? How will Carbonite be able to periodically upload my data when my firewall and virus protection are back on?

Watch out with Carbonite!
I found that it is not able to return many of the database for Apple products are not returned in a usable format.
I highly recommend that if you are going to use Carbonite that you test everything before commiting to it as your backup solution.

Un installing third party software

I've been unable to find any way of un installing non Mac third party software that I've installed, but now no longer want to be installed. Program is called 'Skype'.

How to throw it to trash? I can't find the third party software

Problem installing third party software

I have encountered an issue whereby on trying to install downloaded upgrades to third party software I am asked to insert a disk entitled with my user name. At first I put this down to dodgy software, but have now had the same issue with installing Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.0. The installation software appears to be something called iNosso.
Essentially the installation gets as far as stating "This software was successfully installed" but before coming up with the summary window comes up with:
*Please insert the "username" disc to*
*continue installation.*
You have chosen to install software that requires this
disc.
(username isn't actually shown what is shows is presumably the local name I have given to the computer).
No such disc exists and have tried the original installation discs for 10.5 but to no avail. I end up force quitting the installer but am concerned that by doing so I may corrrupt the installation and build up problems for myself going forward.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so is there a fix?
Thanks in advance.

Allan, I had hoped not to have to go through the steps you suggest as one of the reasons for doing Migration Assistant was to avoid re-installing all my applications and all the relevant license information. Also note that my old apps are running fine it is just third party installers that appear to be the issue. As a test I ran the Apple installer loading some additional apps that came with the computer with no issues. I would also add that all my applications old and new appear to be running without issue. Indeed even those apps affected by this installation issue (incl Acrobat Reader 9.0) seem to run normally so it does appear to be an annoying glitch in the installation that simply stops the automatic completion of the process.
My nervousness however is that something more sinister is going on in the background that I am not aware of that may affect the performance of the computer going forward.
However from both yours and Barry's comments it would appear that this is not a common fault therefore is likely to be peculiar to the way I have set things up so in order to resolve I will have to try either re-installation of everything per Barry or a re-installation of apps as you suggest. Now I just need someone to find me the time!!
If anyone else has come across this issue before and found an easier resolution I would be eternally grateful. Thank you Allan and Barry for the speed of your responses and your suggestions.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
What Urumilton gave you was the ONLY procedure to remove an IT policy. A wipe will not remove the IT policy
Your other recourse is to box up the phone and return to sender.

How do I temporarily turn off ical reminders from iCloud?

I have reminders popping up all the time, which is OK, unless I am listening to music and I want them turned off. How do I temporarily turn them off? Also, is there any way to control the amount of "snooze" time like the old version of ical?

How do I completely turn off the backlit keyboard without using F5 and F6?

I believe my keyboard short circuited after a spill this weekend. I'm currently using a usb keyboard from Apple. I have disabled the keyboard, on my laptop, now I want to completely turn off the backlight. I've looked in the settings and can't seem to find anything. Thanks.

hi mtbomb,
hi Can you while the Power LED is blinking hold the power down don't let it go until the light disappeared.
Technically the Yoga13 should turn off while holding down the power. at least 10 to 15 sec.
I would suggest calling Technical Support if the above steps did not resolve the issue.
It's possible that when you turn on the system, it is not going to sleep but the blinking indicates failure.
Best regards

Installing Third Party Software

I could not install BC Dictionary, on my new Tungsten E2. I am using Vista. I then loaded the prc/pdb files on a SD card (my computer shows the files on the card), but when I look for the files on my E2 card, they don't show. I then loaded the Palm software on my wife's XP computer and went through the Quick Install process. It appeared to work, but I can't find the BC Dictionary program on my E2. BC refers me to Palm.
I am also having similar problems with Documents to Go and I can't sync with my Yahoo Calendar. All of these programs worked on my old Sony Clie.

This question was solved.

Remember the largest SD card the E2 can use out of the box is one (1) GB. If you want to use a larger card you will have to purchase an application from palmpowerups (not affiliated with Palm).

How can I turn off the 101ncmdt on my camera and just have a camera

my phone camera use to work very well and some how it got some other thing when I go to camera and it is called 101NCMDT. Now all my photos go to this mode instead of just camera. Because of this I can not send pictures to a lot of people. I hate it and just want my old simple camera on my phone back. It has also made the camera take pictures slower and it is very frustrating. who am I writing to anyway?

Let's get your camera working again, 1knarlysurfrat. That's definitely a strange mode. What phone do you have? Did you download any new applications before this started?

How do I quickly turn off the notifications in ios 5 but still allow the phone calls to ring.

I am trying to learn how to set my Iphone 4 with the ios 5 to silent but still allow the phone calls to ring aloud. At night, I do not want to hear emails and text messages come through, but if someone calls I would like my phone to ring and wake me up. Can this be done easily? I do not wish to go into each notification section and turn off and back on. Hopefully their is a quick set point that would allow all notifications to be turned off and still allow the phone itself to ring.

How do I to turn off the voice helper that describes every action

Apparently I did something that brings up a voice helper & describes every action & button that i scroll on. I would like to turn that off but can figure it out. HELP!!

With Voice Over, you highlight whatever you are trying to select and then double tap anywhere on the screen to select.
So for your password of 1234 you have to
"Highlight 1, then double tap the screen, Highlight 2, the double tap the screen,... etc."
In order to remove you have 2 options:
Option# 1 – Turn off Voice Over
Go to setting by, highlight "SETTING
Double tap screen to go into settings
Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and highlight "GENERAL"
Double tap screen to go into general
Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and then highlight “ACCESSIBILITY”
Double tap screen to go into accessibility
Once you are in make sure that EVERYTHING in that section are shown as “OFF”
Option #2 - Reset your Phone
Go to setting by, highlight "SETTING
Double tap screen to go into settings
Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and highlight "GENERAL"
Double tap screen to go into general
Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and then highlight “RESET”
Double tap screen to go into reset
Select “Reset all setting” and continue to follow the instruction
(When you reset, all of your data and music WILL NOT erase. So don’t worry about that)
Hope this helps.
