Can someone give advice on apparently loose confidentiality and security settings in Safari on Mac
I'm new to Mac and see that the security and privacy etc.settings for Safari seem to be very loose. (I have I have these much tighter settings on my Windows 7 PC) I am concerned about privacyand on web security, but I don't want any more to hinder the default mac system? So I would appreciate any advice on this subject. Thank you!

There are a few easy steps you can take to improve your privacy on the Web.
In the Safari menu bar, select
▹ Safari preferences... ▹ Extensions
An inventory of the extensions you have installed, as appropriate. A few Safari extensions are adware or spyware. Carefully read the privacy policies or the terms of use. Delete everything that you don't really need, or you are not sure.
An extension that you may want to install is called "Ghostery." It blocks tracking cookies a lot. Extensions "ClickToFlash" and "ClickToPlugin" prevents Flash content from loading automatically.
If you have installed hacks supported by advertising as "Glims" affecting the Safari, uninstall them as instructed by the developer. Doing so will improve the stability of Safari, as well as your privacy.
In the Safari Preferences dialog box, select the Privacy tab. You have the option to delete data, such as cookies, stored on your computer by web servers. You can delete all of these data, or only some of them remove by clicking on the Details button. The other parameters are little explicit.
On a more advanced level, you can change the DNS servers used by your computer or router, to find the addresses of all the Internet servers that you use. In general, the best choice from the point of view of privacy is to use the DNS servers of your ISP. Your Internet traffic goes through the network of your Internet service provider anyway, so in theory, there is no loss of privacy in the use of its DNS servers. Avoid third party DNS services such as "OpenDNS", which is in the business of selling your information to marketing specialists.
Consider using software like 'GlimmerBlocker' ad-blocking, which also blocks certain forms of abuse of JavaScript that can be used to track you. It is only suitable for advanced users, and it can block some web content you want to see.
This comment is not an endorsement of any third party software. Do your own research before deciding whether to use the software.
When you use a public network such as a Wi - Fi hotspot, don't forget that others connected to the same network may be able to listen to your network traffic. They will not be able to read the content of this traffic, if you connect to Web sites secured like this, but they know the addresses of the sites. It is the same for the e-mail and Messaging. Public VPN services to sell as a solution to this problem, but using these services may have a serious security and privacy implications.

Need to upgrade video/power supply for my HP can someone give advice?
Here are my computer specs:
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02871948
Thank you
Hi SilentOne,
The Corsair CX500 is an excellent choice for a power supply. $50
The aforementioned ATI HD3850 is insufficient to run your games. I know because I have a HD4850 (a faster card) and replaced it with a NVIDIA GTX 460. I have StarCraft 2, BF3 and cod. These games all play very well on the bright and even some of the Ultra settings.
This Sapphire 6850 is $ 135.

Can someone give advice ome on this code
Doest seem to work:
function framechecker (): void {}
if(currentFrame == 1)
{
previous_btn. Visible = false;
} else {(currentFrame > 1)
previous_btn. Visible = true;
}
another (currentFrame = totalFrames) {}
next_btn. Visible = false;
}
}
Any help thanks
If it is a single framework containing a movieclip, and that the code is in this unique setting, so you never have to leave this unique image, so currentFrame will always == 1. If you want to test the slides_mc currentFrame property, then you must change your conditional statements to test for that and not the currentFrame on the main timeline.
if(slides_mc.currentFrame == 1)
PS - there is no 0 image, so...
If (currentFrame! = 0)... would be always true.

I just got a new computer and uses pictures instead of iPhoto for cataloging my images. I would like to use Lightroom 5.7 for an editing tool, but I'm frustrated that I can't drag and drop the images I want to change? Any ideas?
Hi tamia82374570,
Greetings.
In my view, it is not possible that you are trying to import images from one application to another.
- You will need to first export of photo images in a folder on the desktop or any other location
- Then open LR, click Import and navigate to this location in the source Panel and import the images in LR.
Concerning

Can someone help me? I am trying to download iMovie which normally should be free with other Apple applications, but for full reason he always says that I have to pay for it. And I Shen a brand-new iPhone updated to IOS 9 5s. Can someone give me advice on what to do?
iMovie and iLife and iworks Apps are free with the purchase of a new device.
Since Apple is no longer selling the iPhone 5 s, she cannot be considered more for free apps.
However, just to be safe, disconnect you from the iTunes and App Stores-> Apple ID in the settings on the new iPhone 5 s, then reset the iPhone in now the home and power buttons together for 10 to 15 seconds. Let the iPhone reboot and then sign in with your Apple ID in iTunes and the App Store and try to get the Apps again.

Hi, I have a problem with my pitch bend wheel on my pc - 300 midi keyboard Roland. The Modulation part works but when I try to pitch bend a note using the same logic of wheel just plays a continuous note. Can someone give me some advice please? Thank you
It's a delicate issue... like some patches cannot stipulate pitchbend...
But to quickly test your pitchbend wheel actually works properly...
Download the free lunch monitor...
Run and see if it sees pitchbend data sent by your keyboard... and therefore by logic.
