I have just purchased an iMac, my first experience after many years with a Windows PC. Do I need to subscribe to a security package such as McAfee? The sales person told me that the iMac has its own protection and firewalls but I just wanted to check as I am not very technically proficient.

McAfee released a new version of Internet Security (firewall/av) protection for Mac. Is this something worth investing in? Currently I'm using iAntivirus to perform weekly scans and have the built-in firewall enabled other than those items I'm not using any other security software.

I've been struggling to move my data (photos / music etc) from my old G5 imac to my new imac (lion).Had iphoto all sorted (copied the files from external HD to Pictures folder.But now when I click on 'photos' it opens terminal (!!??)*I can see the files within but only if I CTRL click and choose 'open package'.I really don't understand. I just opened iphoto and it says I have to 'upgrade' again.I did just attempt to open the original iphoto library which is still on the connected hard drive but I didn't upgrade and don't know why that would affect the duplicate library on my new imac?

I have tried to subscribe to iCal on my Mac Intel Aeon 10.5.6 but I keep receiving the following error:
Error subscribing to the calendar
-Data downloaded from [URL]
In the new iCloud, is it possible possible to subscribe to calendars (as it was in iCal)? I used to be able to see such calendars as: [code]
None of these were migrated when I moved from iCal to iCloud today.Is there anyway to migrate them, modify and import, re-subscribe?I do not care if I have to do something new; so be it. But to be unable to track these (or other) calendars would be a shame.

On iTunes, all of my podcasts have become unsubscribed--and I can't figure out how to subscribe again. Nothing happens when I hit the subscribe button; when I right-click on the podcast and choose "subscribe" from the menu; or even when I go to the iTunes store and hit subscribe?Â
I think the issue may have resulted from when my iPhone Podcast app was synced, but I've since turned off syncing across products.

Is there any function or app out there that will enable me to follow posts? For example, a question that i may have asked a year ago but want to continue following up on in case there is a reply?

I've only seen the availability to check a main page or subforum..but it seems like there should be something else available.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy bank seems to think that my Mac has a virus, as my accounts have had several attempted hacks over the last month. My computer seems to run fine and I haven't noticed any problems, but probably should buy some sort of security software before I change all my account numbers etc. I'm leary of just internet shopping for security software as I am not knowledgable enough to know if something is for real or not. What would you reccommend for as good security software?

In the last two years when I have attempted to update my security on my Macbook Pro (Tiger OS) it has either not completed the download or frozen my computer. I've had to back up and erase my hard drive twice and reload everything. Is there some sort of bug in this update? I want to update to snow leopard but when I've tried with the upgrade disk it tells me that Snow Leopard will not install on my OS. Will the security update facilitate that?

My mac just told me to install a security update and restart and I did it because its a security update, but when I logged back in and checked the official list for updates [URL], there are no official security updates for around the 10th of February.

I tried ripping my DVDs onto my macbook and I keep getting a msg saying that it needs 64-bit VLC to rip the dvd? So I go to the link and on the VLC media player download section it says: Note: VLC will not be available for 64-bits Intel-based Macs until further notice. You can safely use the 32-bits package instead.
