Mac Pro :: How To Know About 2010 MP Protection?
Sep 20, 2010
My 2010 2.93 12-core system will be here in a few days and I just thought of something important that I haven't had to think of in quite some time.
Surge Protection and Power Conditioning.
So I have a few questions for you guys, i'll let you know what I'm running and you tell me if you think im protected or if I need better protection ( recommendations would be in order )
Mac Pro 2.93 12-core
4 HDD 7200 RPM
ATi HD 5870
30" ACD
2 Powered speakers and a powered sub
All of them plugged into a Furman ML-8 Power Conditioner [URL]
What do you think? Should I get a different protector/conditioner? I've looked around and I saw this issue before on here, but it was antiquated information.

I have an iPad 32GB WiFi and a MacBook Pro as well so I was trying very hard to justify myself in getting an 11" MBA but ending up talking myself out of it. The 13" MBP is perfect for my uses. It's already lightweight and portable as it is. After playing with the 11" in the Apple store, I was impressed on how light it was. This no doubt blows away any netbook or any notebook in it's weight class in terms of size and performance. However, the MBP's battery life, hard drive space, and processing power OUTWEIGHS the reasons of dumping my 13" MBP for the Air. Also, I have it hooked up to a 21.5 Inch HP monitor at home and it's good enough to use as a main computer at home, and light enough to take on the road.
If I needed to lookup something quickly in bed or around the house, that's where the iPad comes in. If I needed to send a quick e-mail, my HTC Evo is already great at doing that. If I didn't have a 13" MBP or even the iPad, I would have most likely went ahead and purchased the MBA. Just now at this point, spending another $1000+ or getting rid of my MBP doesn't make much sense... yet.

I've been lurking MacRumors ever since 'the wait for Arrandale' began and finally decided to sign up now so I could post this thread. I've been a Windows user for a long time now and I have a Win7 rig at home. However, I'll be going to uni later this year so I need a good portable notebook that's suitable for the common mailing 'n surfing, but also for doing some programming in Eclipse (Java) and PHP work etc. I still have my Win7 box at home for gaming and things that require larger screensize, but for the notebook... I feel really attracted to OSX with a MBP.
It will be my first Mac, but my desktop dualboots with OSX and I love it. So that's why I have decided that my school notebook will be a Mac. This is why I have been closely watching the rumors for the new MBPs and ofcourse I was pretty disappointed when I saw that the 13" model still had a C2D cpu... It's not that I need a beefed up CPU in my notebook (... I have a 3.6 GHz quad at home ), but it feels 'wrong' to buy a MBP 13": even the 2009 MacBook has a C2D, so what will the MB 2010 update bring? Is it really worth the extra money? Anyone with a similar situation?

When I buy my Aluminum MacBook for college, I want it to stay in the exact same condition as I bought it in.
What I'd like to do is apply a full-body InvisibleShield to the MacBook, and then put it in a Speck or Incase hard case. After those, I'd want to store it in a Neoprene sleeve for when I travel across campus with it in my backpack.
My question is, can I do all of this? I want the hands down, absolute best protection for my huge investment while still maintaining the amazing aesthetics of the notebook itself.
However, I don't know if the MacBook would still fit in any of the hard cases once I've applied the InvisibleShield. Does anyone have this particular or a similar configuration?

So I was thinking...as Leopard gets older and Apple eventually stops updating the security features, will there be more need to go out and buy a program like Norton Antivirus for mac? We mac users take pride in NOT having to have antivirus programs like the PC market, but is it advisable?
I'm wondering if I should buy Norton for mac (only $50, which I thought was reasonable,) to install on my PM G5. What are your guys' thoughts?

I was trying to make a backup of one of my DVDs and it gave me such a hard time! I tried Mactheripper and then after some googling, I found some windows programs that do the same thing but they get rid of a lot of encryption, so I booted up windows in VMWare and installed them.
No matter which program I used though, it gave me a hard time with it at the same place in the DVD.
I only had one more idea left and that was to (god forbid) walk over to a PC and install the program and try it there. to my amazement, it worked! Does Apple block us from doing that to or is it just my DVD rom?

I've just purchased a MacBook Pro and wondering if I should protect myself against viruses etc? If so, what should I use? I've yet again recently had to format my laptop PC hardrive after a virus attack, and I'm hoping all this will now be a thing of the past.

I have password protection enabled on my operating system so that I can lock the computer, and also so that a password has to be entered after the computer has been sleeping or has been closed. However, when starting the computer from being powered off, no password is required.
My question is: if the computer is in sleep mode or is closed, if someone powers it off and the turns it back on, will they be able to bypass the password protection?
I know I can set the computer to ask for a password before logging in after startup, but it seems that if the computer is in a password protected sleep, that the sleep image would make the computer remember that it was password protected, and would prompt for a password before logging into my account.

Well I just placed my $5,000+ order for my new Mac Pro and now it is time to consider power protection. I am going to need to plug in my Mac Pro, LCD monitor, laser printer, speakers, and mouse (MX1000). Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations as to how much protection I need for that? They have so many varieties with different voltages. I have no idea what a Mac Pro requires. All I know is that after spending that kind of money I want to protect my investment with something of high quality.

Put simply, I am looking for a CloneCD equivalent to the mac.
More specifically, I am looking for a program that will copy and/or create disk images (either iso or dmg) of CD-roms or DVD-roms with copy protection on them. Obviously, trying to do this with disk utility or the wonderful open-source disc burning utility "Mac OS X Burn", which does almost everything else, will fail.
I have a couple of games (some of them are on CD-rom, others are on DVD-rom, and I am sure they have copy protection.) and I want to copy them onto my HDD as some form of a disc image file so I can just mount them when playing the game.
P.S. Please don't bring up legal issues. I bough these games and I am just copying them onto my HDD to play myself while saving some battery power on my laptop. It's not illegal, and more importantly, even if it was, it doensn't matter because I don't find it morally incorrect.

i got my macbook pro a few days ago and i'm enjoying it. the only concern i have is that it might get a virus and and i don't want to put 1.5k of US dollars to waste just like that. i always thought a mac could never get a virus so thats why i bought it but i read that there is a chance that getting a virus might happen. so i am wonder should i pay for a virus protection or does it already come with a virus protector and i don't have to worry?

I'm brand spanking new to the Mac world, just bought my 15" MacBook Pro last week and so far loving it.
However I'm going to be mainly resting it on my coffee table which has some hinges on top, and it seems inevitable that eventually the bottom of the laptop will get scratched.
I started researching skins to buy, and there's such a wealth of info and opinions on these forums and on the web that I'm still clueless what to get. I read more bad than good reviews about the Speck.
Just looking for something moderately priced and lightweight to protect the outside of my mac while I'm using it.

I am new to the Mac and I just want to make sure before I do anything. I have a friend that wants me to download the MSN CHat program so we can instant chat. Will that open me up to possible any virus stuff? I know you do not have to run any virus protection on a Mac unless you run Windows.
Also if it matters my friend is on a PC.

I've just ordered my first Mac (ever) 27" i7 8Gb 2Tb. I figured if I'm in... I'm going all the way in, so now I have to wait 10 days (build time I'm told). I have owned a PC since about '78 or '79ish ? when I bought my first TRS80 (for all the old timers out there) and I think I'm pretty good with em, however apples, I haven't a clue .... Anyway my 1st question to the brains trust out there is do I need internet security/antivirus software on my new iMac.

I run Windows 7 on my Mac using Parallels Desktop and the virtual machine is protected by Kasperky. My question is, will this virus protection conflict with ClamXav or Norton 11 if I were to put either into my Mac or should I remove the Kaspersky first. In addition, if I did have to remove the Kaspersky, would any AntiVirus/Spyware specific for Mac also protect the virtual machine?

I recently purchased a movie off of the iTunes Store and realized that it had DRM Protection on it. How do I take this off? I was looking into a few programs, such as Mac The Ripper, and RipIt, and Hand Brake but these don't seem to work. Does Mac The Ripper only do DVD's or can it do files too? what about RipIt? any other program references are appreciated as long as their legal (some are, some are not, I've looked into this a little) and work. I'm running OS X 10.62.

It came with a carrying case, but I want a little more protection, like a snap on case? My cousin has a MacBook Pro and has one. And I want one exactly like it! But I haven't been able to find a similar one for my PowerBook If you don't know what I'm talking about, look here: [URL:...]Something along those lines. I've been looking for one for awhile but I can't seem to find one.

I use Time Machine to back up my data and am very satisfied but have one problem with it. Is there anyway to password protect the backed up data or even the entire external hard drive?
My user account is password protected but it appears as if anyone who has physical access to my external hard drive can access all of my information. If this is the case, how can I protect my data?
