Where can i find tips on keeping my mac free of cookies etc, spyware

hi...can anyone post links to other sites/threads that i can brush up on good housekeeping skills for my mac...at current i surf with out virus apps etc....concerned that spyware or cookies can clog up the computer...

Safari menu
Enable "Private" Browsing.
Don't worry about "spyware" as nearly all of it is written for Windows users.
Cookies are a "good" thing it most cases but you can delete all, or remove just those you wish to delete, by using the Safari Preferences/Security tab.

    There were no PowerBooks made in 2007. By then Apple had switched over to Intel and they were making MacBook instead.
    If the MacBook is what you really want try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook

  • Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

    Where can I find a retail copy of MAC OSX Snowleopard, that has all the drivers, for both desktop and Laptops?

    No. 10.6.3 was the last retail release of Snow Leopard. Download the 10.6.8 Combo updater and put it on a flash drive to make it easier to install the largest part of the update.
    Also, don't push the same disk image of SL to your Macs unless they are exactly the same model as it was originally installed on. The wrong hardware drivers will otherwise be in use.

  • Where can I find the manual for my Mac OS?

    ver. 10.7.3: 2.4 GHz core 2 Duo with 4 GB of DRAM.
    I have three questions:
    1. Where can I find the manual for my machine i.e. hardware manual and or consumer/connaisseur manual?
    2. Does it have a zip media drive? I'm looking at the left side of the machine and I see small square shaped slot for a disk of this sort. I know this is a common type of media storage for cameras and would like to confirm that it is zip.
    3. And while i'm at it, could you remind me of the uses of the two ports advancing towards the back of the computer next to the USB inputs.
    PS: I'm also interested in any technical information concerning Apple hardware and if you could direct me to the appropriate forums I would appreciate it.
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely
    Shawn

    I will dubb the theme of this thread: the mass storage data problem and by problem I mean how can we store data in the most cost-efficient and efficacious manor possible if we can classify data storage strategies into two groups respectively: 1) the individual stragegy and 2) the corporate stragegy. The individual, we will say, is rational and seeks to store as much data as possible in the megabyte range, the gigabyte range and the terabyte range. How will he or the corporation, of conglomerate, large, mid-size or start-up size i.e. 2 - 200 people procede. Please feel free to enhance the dialog of this post in the framework of the corporate schema vs. individual and change the estimations, exp: 2 -200, to fit a realistic scenario of what i'm trying to evoke here.
    I'll start of with
    MB range = 4 GB Lexar standard USB bought at Dwain Reed (note: this is just a starting point to provoke dialog and don't intend this as a suggestion)
    GB range = the portable hard drive at the suggestion of Michael Black of NC
    TB range = tape media, at my suggestion that older devices could be used to read the data where an external hard-drive could be used as an intermediary component to transfer data to newer devices, say the portable hard-drive of Mr. Black and an internal-hard drive which is standard in an older machine. We will say that the labor/work required to remove either is irrelevant as our time is assumed to be worthless within reasonable bounds.

  • Where can I find Visualizer files on my Mac?

    I downloaded a few visualizers and one of them (Fountain Music) shows this error message:
    "Fountain Music"could not load in 64-bit mode.
    Try selecting Open in 32-bit mode" in the Finder's info window for iTunes".
    However, if I try to switch iTunes to load on 32-bit mode, I get a msg which says that iTunes can only run on 64-bit mode.
    I guess I should delete Fountain Music rathen than messing around iTunes itself.  I just don't know where the file is located now.

    Yeah, I've seen that ... I also followed a link from that page to the developer's website:
    http://binaryminded.com/fountainmusic.html
    However, I can't find uninstalling instructions.
    I also went to Library /iTunes/Plugins folder but it doesn't show anything related to it

  • Where can i find my iPhone backups on Mac OS X Lion?

    Hi,
    I don't know how to find the "mobilesync" folder under Mac OS X Lion.
    In Snow Leopard it was ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup..
    But in Lion the MobileSync folder has dissapeared..
    Does anyone know where I can find them?
    Thanks!

    Apple hid the User Library.
    Click GO -> GO To Folder
    Enter "~/Library" (without quotes) in the textbox. Click GO. This will take you to your User Library
    Open the Application Support folder
    Scroll down to the MobileSync folder
    You should now see your Backup folder that you can open to view your backups.

  • Where can I find Power NAP for my Mac?

    I just got the new OS X but I seem not to find the Power NAP so I am fundering were I can find it for my computer
    I have MacBook PRO 17" late 2011.
    Best Regards.

    Unless I'm mistaken, in addtion to an SSD, it also requires an Sandy Bridge Processor (or later) that supports Intel's Smart Connect feature to accomplish it's sleep/wake management for low-power background connectivity, hence why earlier Air's & Pro's may not be able to use it.
