If I select from the menu bar another available wireless network (one without a password for example) and then switch back to my own wi-fi network, am I still safe?
Did the fact that I connected to another network present any risks?
I did not send any private info during that time, any risks of getting hacked?
Sometimes restarting is not enough: you need to power off your Mac, wait for a little, and power it on again.It could be a script which act like the "schedule" program in system preferences: it would switch off the Mac immediately, the add 1 minute to the current time and switch it on again.

how do I make it so the folders in the Home menu on my iMac stay to the new layout? The Icons I'm talking about are the ones that you find in the Go menu of Finder, Those Icons to the side of each word (such as downloads) appear in the home folder but then they change back to the default folder icon again, is there any option or something I could do so it won't change and it will keep these images as the defaults?

View 3 Replies View RelatedOn my iMac I have 2 operating systems installed, and Windows 7 and Mac OSX. Until recently I did not use OSX, but I tried as it looks. But now, back when I want Windows 7, I will begin when you turn to run Mac OSX. I know how to switch to Windows, but only temporarily, off the PC and when starting to hold the Alt key and selected by Windows. But after turning the PC begins to load OSX again.

My iMac is some 2 years old and have never had this problem before but twice in the last week it has failed to awake from sleep mode and I have had to hold the start button to 'wake' it up. It then goes through the usual procedure that transpires afte 'logging off'

I just installed the new iMac but when I've been asked on the type of keyboard I answered "Italian" by mistake.
Now some keys are not typing the right character (eg : y and z are inverted), and some others.
I would need to change this, or do it again since the beginning, but when I enter into preferences --> keyboard --> I cannot find any place where I can change that setting.Â

My new MBP 2010 won't use Intel HD graphics, it seems stuck on the 330M graphics card with no programs running at all. I also checked the power saver option for auto-switching graphics.. What to do?
It worked before I calibrated the battery, but today when using the MBP for the first time since calibrating it won't switch.
Is there a way to exchanging/switch primary/secondary display in OSX via shortcut instead of manually dragging the menu bar between the "displays layout" in the displays pref under "Arrangement tab" ? I'm very surprised that apple didn't address this simple issue yet.

I've had a MacBook Pro for about a year (in fact it might be exactly a year today). I recently just set up a new desk in my dorm and my room - I'm a somewhat avid gamer so I was given a Sony Vaio P4 Hyper Threaded and a really nice montior - a 22" widescreen. Anyway, I would like to be able to use both my awesome Mac and Vaio on this one lcd with a KVM switch. I had a Belkin in my room that I used but it didn't work
I'm really on a tight budget and do NOT want to spend anymore then $80 or so.
I'm looking at popping a SSD into my 2010 Mac Pro but have a couple of questions/concerns before I plunge into purchasing it.
Current Drives Setup:
Bay 1: 1TB HD (OS X)
Bay 2: 70GB Raptor (Windows)
Bay 3: 2TB HD (Backup)
Bay 4: (empty)
I'm looking at grabbing a OCZ Vertex 2 2.5" 60GB (on sale). I don't need too large of a drive as I don't have a plethora of apps, so I think the 60GB will do.
My question - how do I transfer just the Apps and OS from the current boot drive (1TB) to the SSD? Can I run Migration Assistant to another internal drive?
Do I need a special bracket for the Mac Pro to convert the 2.5" SSD to 3.5" or will any bracket do the job?
I have decided to switch from a PC to a new Macbook Pro (whenever the new ones are released) but I am not 100% sold on switching from a MAC to a PC.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently use an iMac (20" late 2006 model) as my main computer, but for my next I am seriously considering a MacBook Air. I bought my iMac with the intention of using all of it's power (I got the 2.33Ghz with 256mb X1600), but the only time I really tap into the processor is when I encode video, which I do rarely anymore, and when I play games, which I never do anymore since I have a PS3 for that. Now, all I really do is websurf, listen to music, use Garageband, and other basic stuff.
View 20 Replies View Relatedi know you've already tackled this a thousand times, but, having read those thousand threads, i'm still not sure which of these i should go for. you all seem generous with your opinions, so i'll ask again.i need to replace my 4 year old dell 700m (12.1", 1.6ghz, 512mb ram, tiny 24gb HD) as it has become painfully slow and things are beginning to stop working. i've very much enjoyed its portability (it's small and weighs just over 4 pounds) which is why the MBA has caught my eye. my concern, is that i've heard all these things about it being underpowered - but underpowered for what? the lure of the MBP, of course, is that it's a lot more power for its moderate increase in bulk and weight.
