Will there be Compatible software and freeware(Tiger to Leopard)?

I'm on a g5 Tiger 10.4.11.
iknow many programs won't work anymore. but are there or will there be tons of freeware etc that can serve as alternates to programs that i like/and use in Tiger.
For example on program that will not work anymore is Intuem 2 ( MIDI SEquencer) that i have now in Tiger. That *****..but oh well Garageband is a great alternate.
A Utility called photo Drop.. i can use it to make copies of graphic images but mirror them. mirror batches of images at a time, really fast. Useful if making 2D games where you need chracters to face both ways. This one will most likely not work in Snow leopard
My Microsoft office 2004 won't work and that's sad.. but ....i guess i can use the program PAGES. However, most work related stuff , companies, hiring managers accepting resumes, etc.. want things in word format.. i don't kow if PAGES can do that
Screenflick, a program to capture movies of your desktop or any part of the desktop you want,, most likely wont' work and i payed for it
Final cut Express 3.5 mostlikely will not work well in SL. only thing to do is get FCE 4..
OH and these next three are sad: Art Rage 2.5( free)will not work..
Corel Painter essentials 2 will not work i'm guessing, and PHotoshop elements 3 wo'nt work...
I hope there are free alternates cause i don't want t o buy tons of software.( and i won't)
Anyways, i know eventually after months, people will make versions of popular Tiger compatible software into Snow leopard compatible ones but not right now, and now is when i'm getting my new mac with SLeopard...
I have hope though

FWIW, MS Office '04 has worked with SL for over year (while I was beta-testing SL and since it went public). I don't use any of the others. However, here's a list of what works: http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/topic4883.html

Will there come a software update for the "older" ipods?

Hi all, will there come a software (firmware?) update for the new menu of the Ipod Video?
I have an Ipod video 60Gb and I'm really happy with it, but I found out that the newest ipods have some extra functionality in menu structure, which enhances the search.
Thanks for your answers!

Thank you for your answer.
Well, they might not have had the possibility then...
Maybe it's just one of those features that were invented later...
My wife has an Ipod Mini and it has less menu possibilities than my ipod video...
I have posted the request, but as stated it will be very unlikely that they will answer the request.
Thanks anyway, ipod is really the best!
Best regards, Jean Loyens, Belgium
Unlikely. If Apple had wanted this feature for older
iPod videos, they would've implemented it in the last
update.
However anything is possible so if you want it,
suggest it to Apple here.

TS3772 when will there be a software update for the ipod 3rd gen?

when will there be a software update for the ipod 3rd gen?

I believe the most recent forcast was, "When pigs fly."

When will there be a software update for the Media Hub?

1. Many issues related to playing media types - Need updated or increased CODEC's - Flash, MPG, Divix, WMP should ALL play. Why don't you put ALL the CODEC's in????
2. Support for iTunes playlists. This should be a basic funtion.
3. Funtion to get rid of duplicates as common sense tells you that he Media Hub will see your iTunes LIbrary and the built in function of "Import" creates duplicates.
4. Support for better identification of iTunes related Album artwork. It's there! Wht does the Media Hub not see it as iTunes does?
5. Larger buffer options to cut back on load times for large libraies of photo files. Don't mind giving up some disk space for this too or using an external mem card!
6. Better Sony Play Station support as SP3 sees files as not compatible, yet plays them and not others.
7. When can we expect some form of software update?
8. Does the Media Hub (405) run faster with a single drive if you turn off the two drive option?

1. You have to understand that it would be close to impossible to place all the codecs in one device. As some codecs requires DRM.
2. I'm not sure what codec you are after in itunes since M3U is supported by the media hub. Supported File Types for the Built-In Media Player in the NMH
3. I strongly agree with you in this one. Duplicate files using the Import Tool should be automatically be removed. That's why I don't use the Import Tool anymore instead I just use the NTI Shadow when transferring files automatically to the hub.
4. The media hub uses AMG Server to look for album artworks. But the last upgrade of the firmware allows you to use your album arts without the interference of the AMG Server but the art must be tagged on the media file.
5. I agree with you on this one as well.
6. I always keep in mind that not all devices works as what we expect it to be. So better just bear with the Play Station support until we get some updates.
7. Only LinksysbyCisco can answer that. LoL
8. The media hub functions the same way regardless whether you are running on 2 drives or 1. But of course, there will be some minor differences on Read and Write performance when running on RAID 1 since both the drives will have to read and write the same files into it making the processor double its work.

Compatible Software and Upgrades

Hi all, I have two questions:
1) What is the most compatible software for the TV@nywhere Master card? And do any of them support the remote control? I've tried Cyberlink PowerVCR and although it is good, there is no remote control support.
2) My understanding is that the MSIPVS program is a modified version of WinDVR by Intervideo WinDVR ver. 2. Is there a way to upgrade to WINDVR ver. 3 and maintain the functionality of MSIPVS and the remote control functionality?
Thanks for any assistance
TVeith

Wow, 37 views but no response! I guess I'll answer my own questions.
1) The most compatible software with the MSI card appears to be WinDVR, either the version that comes with the card (WinDVR 2) or the new WinDVR 3. I found Cyberlink PowerVCR to be very slow and choppy in recording video and timeshifting.
2) The only way to upgrade to WinDVR 3 and use the remote is to uninstall WinDVR 2, install version 3., then install a program called GIRDER and use plugins and add ons to program the remote for use with version 3.

Will there be a software update for 7th gen

Is Apple planning to kill the iPod? Release an iPod 8th gen? Or any new software with features? (Not sure if you can give any of this info)

We are all users here like yourself. There won't be any new firmware with features and you will just have to wait and see if Apple is going to update the Nano or Shuffle (the Classic is already gone).

I didn't realize that I had a trial version and I can't do anything with my photos and I'm on the 2014 cc version. Now what? If I have to purchase the 2015 version, will I be able to work on my photos and will it be the software and not the download versi

I didn't know I was using a trial version of PDF files and now I can't do anything with them and I keep getting a notice for the 2015 version as I have the 2014 cc. If I have to purchase the 2015, will it be the download version or will I get the software version?

Hi scarabs55,
Are you working with Acrobat or Photosohp? (You mention both PDF files and photos, so it's not clear.)
Let us know what software you're thinking about upgrading and we can point you in the right direction.
Best,
Sara

Will there be seamless graphic card switching with Snow Leopard?

With new MacBook/Pro's that have the integrated 9400 and 9600 graphic cards, Leopard has to log out to make the switch between them. Any word that this can be done without logging out? Nvidia had announced that technically speaking their GPU's do support it.
Thanks.

Will there be a software update? (iCloud)

Hello,
I was wondering if Apple is going to update the Apple TV software when MobleMe is officially over and replaced with iCloud?
The reason I ask is because MobileMe isnt accepting new account applications, and I dont currently have a MobileMe account. And so the MobileMe app on my Apple TV is useless. But I do have an iCloud account. So will they replace the MobileMe app with an iCloud app on June 30th or sometime soon...Does anyone know? Or will they wait until iOS 6 comes out? It just seems silly to wait until then when they could implement the change on June 30th or sometime breifly afterward.
Any info would be helpful,
Thanks.

I suspect that users younger than us maybe, already see the Apple TV's main strength as cloud based rather than iTunes on your computer based.
Not having to have a computer on is a great benefit for things you can stream that you've purchased, internet connection caps etc allowing.
If I ever get around to getting Virgin optical I would use it even more. Strangely the AppleTVs mostly get used now for kid's stuff I would never buy (from Netflix) and music - with music my slow internet is more than capable of using iTunes Match on the family room TV for songs/music videos - if I want the lossless CD rips I'll use the Mac Mini in the room I have my hi-fi.
The downside again of Apple TV Show/Film purchases is the video quality. I was pleased to see they now have the original Star Trek series in HD in iTunes here. Unfortunately when I bought an episode to try out yesterday the resolution was only 960x720 which is dissapointing. I have series 1 on HD-DVD (yes, I know) and it is very impressive, whereas the HD iTunes purchase seemed little better than DVD and oddly artificial looking.
If I'm paying good money for things I really do want optimum quality whether it's video or music. Until iTunes offers lossless CD quality I see no reason to buy from there other than convenience when the CD is usually cheaper. Same goes for movies/TV Shows - I bought a boxed set of kids movies (17 titles) for the cost of 3 or 4 from iTunes - it makes no sense other than convenience.
All that aside when they integrate AppleTV with Twitter, Facebook, Habbo Hotel or whatever I suspect we'll be done here

I am a lucky customer of two of these storms....once which arent 3 weeks old and the first one the one that was my phone locked up in the first week and i was mashing the screen not hard and the **bleep** thing broke...well verizon says you have 30 days till you can no longer buy the phone insurance and who would of thought in my first week the **bleep** touch screen would break by me tapping on it trying to get the locked up software to respond....and guess what verizon said there is nothing they can do to a phone with a cracked screen....and also both phones blackberrry storms that were sent to me were used equipement. but I am still repsponsible for the two contract agreement and I cant even use the **bleep** phone...also they say you can add insurance within 30 days of new purcchase not the phone that was malfuntioned and the screen cracked....but they let me add it to the second line....i think its very dirty of verizon to send used phones with two contracts to someone and it malfuntion like that and not replace the phone...and still hold the customer responsible for two year contract...after all the **bleep** trouble the storms have been giving customers...thats why they are sending the **bleep** things out free of charge...dont get scammed and screwed like I did go with Tmobile or att..

Is there an anti-viral software and spyware that is recommended??

Is there anti-viral software and spyware that is preferred for the I-MAC and MAC book Pro?? I don't want to slow my system like one's I've used for PC's in the past.

VIRUSES
No viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions.
It is possible, however, to pass on a Windows virus to another Windows user, for example through an email attachment. To prevent this all you need is the free anti-virus utility ClamXav, which you can download for Tiger from:
http://www.clamxav.com/download.php#tiger
and for Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion from here:
http://www.clamxav.com/
Note: If you wish to uninstall ClamXav: keep a copy of the disk image from when you downloaded it, or download it again - the uninstaller is included with the application. To uninstall, quit ClamXav Sentry (if you use it) and make sure it's not set to launch at log in. The uninstaller will remove the engine and any schedules you've got set up, then just drag ClamXav.app to the trash.
If you are already using ClamXav: please ensure that you have installed all recent Apple Security Updates and that your version of ClamXav is the latest available.
Do not install Norton Anti-Virus on a Mac as it can seriously damage your operating system. Norton Anti-Virus is not compatible with Apple OS X.
FAKE ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE and associated MALWARE
Do not be tricked by 'scareware' that tempts computer users to download fake anti-virus software that may itself be malware.
Fake anti-virus software that infect PCs with malicious code are a growing threat, according to a study by Google. Its analysis of 240m web pages over 13 months showed that fake anti-virus programs accounted for 15% of all malicious software.
Scammers trick people into downloading programs by convincing them that their PC is infected with a virus.
Once installed, the software may steal data or force people to make a payment to register the fake product.
Beware of PDF files from unknown sources. A security firm announced that by its counting, malicious Reader documents made up 80% of all exploits at the end of 2009.:

TROJANS and RE-DIRECTION TO FAKE WEBSITES
The appearance of Trojans and other malware that can possibly infect a Mac seems to be growing, but is a completely different issue to viruses.
If you allow a Trojan to be installed, the user's DNS records can be modified, redirecting incoming internet traffic through the attacker's servers, where it can be hijacked and injected with malicious websites and pornographic advertisements. The trojan also installs a watchdog process that ensures the victim's (that's you!) DNS records stay modified on a minute-by-minute basis.
You can read more about how, for example, the OSX/DNSChanger Trojan works (by falsely suggesting extra codecs are required for Quicktime) here:
http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan_osx_dnschanger.shtml
SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X. It's available here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/
First update the MacScan malware definitions before scanning. You can also contact their support team for any additional support - [email protected]
The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X and allows users to check to see if the trojan has been installed on their computer; if it has, the software helps to identify and remove the offending file. After a system reboot, the users' DNS records will be repaired.
(Note that a 30 day trial version of MacScan can be downloaded free of charge from:
http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
and this can perform a complete scan of your entire hard disk. After 30 days free trial the cost is $29.99. The full version permits you to scan selected files and folders only, as well as the entire hard disk. It will detect (and delete if you ask it to) all 'tracker cookies' that switch you to web sites you did not want to go to.)
A white paper was published on the subject of Trojans by SubRosaSoft, available here:
http://www.macforensicslab.com/ProductsAndServices/index.php?main_page=document_ general_info&cPath=11&products_id=174
Also, beware of MacSweeper and MacDefender (also goes under the name of MacProtector, MacGaurd, MacSecurity or MacShield) :
These are malware that misleads users by exaggerating reports about spyware, adware or viruses on their computer in an attempt to obtain payment.
Mackeeper is equally worthless and should also be avoided. Again, the developer seeks to obtain payment for an application that does nothing that free utilities do not also offer, and in many cases it will also mess up your system.
You can keep up to date, particularly about malware present in some downloadable pirated software, at the Securemac site:
http://www.securemac.com/
HOW TO AVOID RE-DIRECTION
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of added security as well as speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
There may be other ways of guarding against Trojans, viruses and general malware affecting the Mac, and alternatives will probably appear in the future. In the meantime the advice is: be careful where you go on the web and what you download!
WHAT TO DO IF YOU THINK YOUR MAC HAS BECOME 'INFECTED'
If you think you may have acquired a Trojan, and you know its name, you can also locate it via the Terminal:
http://theappleblog.com/2009/04/24/mac-botnet-how-to-ensure-you-are-not-part-of- the-problem/
Although any content that you download has the possibility of containing malicious software, practising a bit of care will generally keep you free from the consequences of anything like the DNSChanger trojan.
1. Avoid going to suspect and untrusted Web sites, especially p'orn'ography sites.
2. Check out what you are downloading. Mac OS X asks you for you administrator password to install applications for a reason! Only download media and applications from well-known and trusted Web sites. If you think you may have downloaded suspicious files, read the installer packages and make sure they are legit. If you cannot determine if the program you downloaded is infected, do a quick Internet search and see if any other users reported issues after installing a particular program.
3. Use an antivirus program like ClamXav. If you are in the habit of downloading a lot of media and other files, it may be well worth your while to run those files through this AV application.
4. Use Mac OS X's built-in Firewalls and other security features.
5. Peer-to-peer sharing applications and download torrents (such as the now defunct LimeWire) supplying pirated software, movies etc are hotbeds of potential software issues waiting to happen to your Mac. Everything from changing permissions to downloading trojans and other malicious software can be acquired from using these applications. Similar risks apply to using Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube and similar sites which are prone to malicious hacking: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8420233.stm
6. Resist the temptation to download pirated software. They can contain Botnet Trojans. SecureMac offer a simple and free tool for the removal of the iBotNet Trojan available here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/files/iServicesTrojanRemovalTool.dmg
YOUR PRIVACY ON THE INTERNET and the latest risks to look out for:
There is the potential for having your entire email contact list stolen for use for spamming:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/20/technology/internet/20shortcuts.html?_r=1
And if you are using iPhone Apps you are also at risk of losing all privacy:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/03/hacker-claims-third-party-iphone-apps-can-tra nsmit-udid-pose-se/
The advent of HTML5 may also be a future threat to internet privacy:

Security of OS X generally:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is/security.html
http://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/os/applemac/I731-007R-2007.pdf
Security Configuration for Version 10.5 Leopard:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Leopard_Security_Config_2nd_Ed.pdf
NOTE: Apple's Snow Leopard and Lion operating systems silently update the malware protection built into Mac OS X to protect against a backdoor Trojan horse that can allow hackers to gain remote control over your treasured iMac or MacBook: Macs running Snow Leopard or Lion now check for new malware definitions daily, allowing Apple to quickly deploy protection from threats before they have a chance to spread.
Few malicious titles actually exist for Mac OS X, and those that do rely almost entirely upon duping users to install software that pretends to be legitimate.
http://www.sophos.com/blogs/gc/g/2010/06/18/apple-secretly-updates
However, if you are running Lion Server:
Apple's new server operating system -- OS X Lion -- is so inherently insecure that Stamos recommends keeping it off the network altogether and using Macs only as standalone machines connected to IP or Windows networks, not those designed for Macs.
The Mac Server's networking protocols -- especially DHX User Authentication -- are designed for ease of use, not security. It is trivial, Stamos said, for hackers to set up a Mac user to download a file that will overflow the buffer protecting the heap segment of the server's memory, allowing the file's malicious payload to run uncontrolled in the server's memory and give itself whatever access rights it wants.
