• Change to that new IMac extended journaled extended logged out?

  My old IMac extended journaled case-sensitive so that you're stretched out the new journaled.  When I try to use the migration wizard, it fails due to different formats.  How can I reformat my computer and extended journaled case-sensitive?  Because it's the startup disk, the operation fails.  I partitioned the drive into 2 parts and did the second case-sensitive partition.  How can I transfer the boot spread in the second partition and then I should be able to remake the first partition?

  Make a clone bootable from the hard drive to start the second partition partition, delete and clone then back to the boot partition.

• MBP has changed to new iMac - the problem persists

  Hello ladies and gentlemen!

  I can't believe I'm still having the same problem after a water landing forced my MBP mid-2012 and invest a lot of money in the new iMac. Now I'm sure this is the problem of the El Capitan, not the hardware. Especially after the last update of the system.

  Everything was going fine until last week when my iMac suddenly started to have some kind of hiccups - mouse ceased to answer at any time (100% battery), pages began to load really slow and sometimes only has not at all and Adobe apps began to plant without any particular reason. Nothing has changed and I haven't done anything unusual when it was absolutely new and running like a beast.

  The thing that is interesting to me is the use of the CPU and RAM. (It a few months ago when I had the problem with MBP), I noticed that when you open a page in Safari (any type of page) and let it stay there for a few days it starts to use a LOT of material in the background, even if you have completely forgotten this page and did not open it / refresh it for a long time - screenshots below. Why the hell is happening? I do not understand why Safari does need juice both by the love of God because no matter how much it will be, he will use it. I thought that changing from 8GB to 32GB it will solve the problem. Boy, I was wrong...

  I wonder about these extensions Safari and internet plug-ins.

  Safari, as all browsers, I fear, is a memory hog.

  As a temporary solution, simply exit and restart Safari can mitigate the problem.

• Lightroom error, change of modules, the new iMac

  Help.

  I can not open on my new iMac LR5. Using OSX 10.9.1, LR 5.3. I always get the message "error on the evolution of the modules", and no catalog will open. I can't create a new catalog, or open an old. I deleted and reinstalled LR, CC, all support and pref files, several times using the uninstallation, the drag and the trash, no help.

  Running the same app, same OS, MacBook Pro with NO problems. I had transferred images, catalogues of an old MacPro with OSX 10.7.5, but I do not see where that should cause a problem. I put the same catalog on the MBP and LR works very well.

  Any help is sincerely appreciated.

• best way to put in place a new iMac with saved files?

  Hi all

  I'm new here so please forgive me if I've done something wrong. Just recently got a new iMac and wanted to get all my software work of music and other files installed. I used the Migration Assistant on the iMac to move files from a recent time Machine to the top of my Macbook Pro. After what seemed to be a successful migration, I noticed that Garageband, iMovie and a few other products Apple should be updated. My new iMac has been updated the newer versions until the migration wizard has been used. My questions are, it's best to go on a new set up, and never has that somehow restored my new machine settings to the previous settings of the Macbook Pro? Would it have changed anything wise speed or image and sound quality wise? of resolution, depth of bit or similar?

  Thanks in advance for any help or answers.

• Should I buy a new iMac?

  I currently have an iMac that I bought in February ' 08. It has 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. I'm on OS 10.6.8.  I upgraded the memory a few years ago.  Things seem to become a little slow on this subject. We may need the latest version of numbers that supposedly requires OS X 10.10.4.  Should I buy a new iMac, or are there things I can do to improve and accelerate and hold remote buying a year or two?  If I buy an iMac, should I buy a new airport because my current one is almost as old as the Mac?

  Thank you

  The airport should be fine, unless you have the intention to improve your Internet connection at Gigabit speeds... WiFi has not changed that much.

  It's probably a good idea to consider a new Mac in the near future, however. This one is about the end of his life.

• How to put on a new iMac running El Capitan iPhoto?

  I have an iMac 2007 end running Yosemite 10.10.5 with only 4 GB of memory.  It has iPhoto 9.6.1 I downloaded on the App store in late 2014.  I use it extensively for thousands of photos.  I intend to move to a new iMac, or possibly one of the Apple laptops in a month.  There El Capitan.

  Reading these forums, I understand that el Capitan will run iPhoto if it is of a certain version which, I believe, iPhoto 9.6.1 qualifies.  I would also say that the App store in my list of "Bought" an iPhoto to buy in late 2014, this which I think is the version that I use now. I have also some Time Machine backups.

  My question is what would the process of loading the application on the new iMac iPhoto?  After you have configured the new iMac I would go to the App store and download this version (even if it has a button 'Open' However as opposed to a button "Download" next to the iPhoto application); or maybe transfer from a Time Machine backup sort.  Reading these forums, I understand that you must pay attention to setting up a new iMac, that is, that some people have unconsciously converted their libraries to the new 'Photos' and does iPhoto can't go back - al least without too much difficulty.  Also after loading iPhoto on the new iMac how I would get my number (four) iPhoto libraries on the new iMac?

  I realize has 'Photos' will in the future with Apple and that I might convert some time, but at that time iPhoto are perfect for me and am not ready to change right now.

  Thanks for any help

  1. here's how:

  After you have configured the new iMac would be go to the App store and download this version (even if it has a button 'Open' However as opposed to a button "Download" next to the iPhoto application)

  It says 'Open' now that it's on your machine. On the new, he'll say 'download '.

  2. This is not a problem in any form:

  Reading these forums, I understand that you must pay attention to setting up a new iMac, that is, that some people have unconsciously converted their libraries to the new 'Photos' and does iPhoto can't go back - al least without too much difficulty.

  Photos does nothing for an iPhoto library at all. It creates a new version that works for himself, but leaves the completely intact iPhoto library. You just have to worry about this.

  Be absolutely certain that you will have to switch to a new application. Sooner or later, a version of the operating system will come along who are not running iPhoto. Unfortunately, the app is a dead-end.

• iCloud photo library with new imac

  Hello

  I have about 30,000 photos in my iCloud library. I had to buy a new iMac earlier. I opened the Photo and it comes up with the right number of photos, a few pictures are loaded, others are white squares with the little cloud symbol in there.

  It seems that the program does not download anything. ICloud preferences are configured to download the originals. However, at the bottom of all the photos he says still 30495 photos download... When I open some pictures it start downloading it, then the total number changes, but I'm not anxious to open images, was waiting for them to download.

  It is still an action following the program to start download them all on my new iMac?

  Thank you!

  If you check the download for the Mac originals, photos full size will start downloading. Be aware that 30 000 pictures full size will take awhile to download.

  I don't know that's what you have set, but let a few hours before checking it in.

• Is a necessary additional security, such as McAfee software on the new iMac and iPad?

  Is a necessary additional security, such as McAfee software on the new iMac and iPad?

  Mac users often ask if they should install "anti-virus" (AV) or software "anti-malware". The answer is 'no', but it can give the false impression that there is no threat of what is loosely called 'virus '. There is a threat.

  1. it is a comment on what you should - and should not-do to protect you from malicious software ("malware") that runs on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions.

  It does not apply to the software, such as keyloggers, which can be installed deliberately by an intruder who has convenient access to the computer, or who has been able to take control of it remotely. This threat is in a different category, and there is no easy way to defend against it. AV software is not intended to and does not, to defend against these attacks.

  The comment is long because the issue is complex. The essential points are in articles 5 and 11.

  OS X implements now three levels of integrated protection specifically against malware, not to mention the protections of runtime such as quarantine the file, execute disable, sandbox, protecting the integrity of system, System Library randomization and randomized address space layout , which can also prevent other kinds of exploits.

  2. all versions of Mac OS X 10.6.7 were able to detect the malware Mac known in downloaded files and block non-secure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Apple calls internally it "XProtect."

  The malware used by XProtect recognition database is automatically updated. However, you should not count on it, because the attackers are still at least a day before the defenders.

  The following restrictions apply to XProtect:

  ☞ circumvented by some third-party network software, such as the BitTorrent clients and Java applets.

  ☞ It applies only to software downloaded on the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not verified.

  As new versions of Mac OS X are available, it is not clear whether Apple will continue indefinitely maintain the older versions such as 10.6 XProtect database. Versions of obsolete systems security may eventually be affected. Updates to security for the code of obsolete systems will be stop being released at any given time, and which can leave them open to other types of attack in addition to malware.

  3. starting with the OS X 10.7.5, there was a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and installation packages downloaded from the network will be run only if they are digitally signed by a developer to a certificate issued by Apple. Certified software in this way has not been checked for safety by Apple, unless it comes to the App Store, but you can be reasonably sure that it has not been changed by someone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so it could be held legally responsible if it distributes malicious software. Which may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below).

  Access controller does not depend on a database of known malware. He has, however, the same limitations as XProtect and in addition the following:

  ☞ It can easily be turned off or overridden by the user.

  ☞ A malware attacker could find a way around it, or could take control of a certificate of signing of code under false pretenses or could simply ignore the consequences of the distribution of malware Tryggvason.

  ☞ Developer App store could find a way around the Apple control, or the control may fail due to human error.

  Apple took too long to revoke some known attackers codesigning certificates, thus diluting the value of the keeper and the program developer ID. These variances do not involve the App Store products, however.

  For the reasons given, App Store, and, to a lesser extent - other applications recognized by signed Gatekeeper, are safer than others, but they cannot be considered to be absolutely sure. "Sand" applications could make to access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think that before granting access. Security sandbox is based on user input. Never click through any application for leave without thinking.

  4. by starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background. He checks and removes, malware that corresponds to a database of recognition held by Apple. To ensure that MRT will be executed when the database is updated, the App Store tab in system preferences and check the box marked

  Install the system data files and security updates

  If it is not already done.

  As XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against strangers. It alerts you if it detects malware, but otherwise, it has no user interface.

  5. the built-in Mac OS x security features reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not and will never be complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, not a behavior machine, and none only of technological solution will solve. Software protect you from trust only will make you more vulnerable.

  The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. Except perhaps feats of Java, all the known malware, circulating on the Internet wearing reached a completely setting installation to update to OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojans", which may have no effect if the victim is deceived in their execution. The threat thus amounts to a battle of wits between you and cybercriminals. If you are better informed, they think you are, you win. In effect, it means that you always stay in the shelter of practical computing. How do you know when you leave the safe harbor? Here are a few signs warning of danger.

  Software from a reliable source

  ☞ Software with a brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, does not come directly from the Web site. Don't be fooled an alert of any website for updating Flash, or your browser, or other software. A real alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this support page. In this case, follow the instructions on the support page. Furthermore, assume that the alert is false and that someone is trying to rip you off to install malicious software. If you see these alerts on more than one Web site, ask for instructions.

  ☞ Software any is distributed via BitTorrent or Usenet, or on a Web site that distributes pirated music and movies.

  ☞ Rogue sites Web such as CNET Download MacUpdate, Soft32, Softonic and SourceForge distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "install".

  ☞ The software is advertised through spam or intrusive web ads. Any announcement, on any site, which includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.

  Software that is clearly illegal or doing something illegal

  Commercial software ☞ high-end such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."

  ☞ An application helps you violates copyright law, for example to circumvent the copy protection on a commercial software, or streamed media recording to be reused without permission. All the 'YouTube downloaders' are in this category, but not all are necessarily malicious.

  Conditional or unsolicited offer from strangers

  ☞ A phone calling or a web page you indicates that you have a "virus" and offers to remove. (Some reputable sites warned visitors who have been infected with the malware "DNSChanger" legitimately. The exception to this rule applies.)

  ☞ A web site offers a free content like music or video, but for use, you must install a "codec", 'plug-in', 'player' 'Downloader', 'extractor', or 'certificate' which comes from the same site, or a stranger.

  ☞ You win a prize in a competition that you are never entered.

  ☞ someone on a forum like this is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of your choice.

  ☞ a 'FREE WI - FI!' network presents itself in a public place like an airport, but is not provided by management.

  ☞ Online everything that you expect to pay is 'free '.

  Unexpected events

  ☞ a file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, without any further action on your part. delete any file without opening it.

  ☞ You open what you think, it is a document and you receive an alert that it is "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you must always remove any download that is not what you expected it to be.

  ☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as permission to access your contacts, your location or the Internet without obvious reason.

  ☞ Software is attached to the email you na not ask, even if it is (or seems to come) by a person of trust.

  I do not leave the safe harbour that once will necessarily lead to disasters, but make a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malicious software attacks. None of the above scenarios must, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.

  6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it is not related, despite the similarity of names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform to run complex applications in a web page. That was always a bad idea, and Java developers have proved unable to apply it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been a type virus Windows affecting OS X. simply load a page with Java malicious content could be harmful.

  Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is outdated and largely disappeared. Only a few outdated sites still use it. Try to accelerate the process of extinction by avoiding these sites, if you have a choice. Forget to play games or other uses not Java essentials.

  Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later versions. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and Oracle (the developer of Java). Do not use one unless you need it. Most of the people don't. If Java is installed, turn it off- not the JavaScript in your browser.

  Whatever the version, experience has shown that Java on the Web is not reliable. If you must use a Java applet for a job on a specific site, Enable Java only for the site in Safari. Never activate Java for a public Web site that carries the third-party advertising. Use only on websites that are well known, protected by login and secure without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you will see a padlock icon in the address bar when you visit a secure site.

  7. another perennial weak point is Adobe Flash Player. Like Java, Flash is declining well deserved, but content Flash is still much more widespread than the contents of Java on the Web. If you choose to install the Flash plugin, you can reduce your exposure to Flash by checking the box marked

  Stop the plug-ins to save energy

  in the Advanced tab of the preferences of Safari window, if not already done. Consider also installing an extension Safari as "ClickToFlash" or "ClickToPlugin." They will prevent the Flash content automatically load and are initially not Flash video is substituted for Flash on YouTube and perhaps a few other sites. I tested the extensions and found them safe, but you should always do your own research before you decide whether to trust any third party software.

  8. remain within the sphere of security, and you will be as safe from malware you can be practically. The rest of this comment is what you must do to protect you.

  Never install any AV or products 'Internet security' for Mac if you have a choice, because they are all worse than useless. If you are required by a (wrong) institutional policy to install some kind of AV, choose one of the free apps in the Mac App Store, nothing else.

  Why you should not use products AV?

  ☞ To recognize malware, software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least one day to day. This technique is a proven failure, as a major supplier of AV software has admitted. Most of the attacks are "zero-day" - that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry comes to realize that the traditional AV software is worthless.

  ☞ design is based generally on the nonexistent threat that malware can be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; He is not of the blue leaves. To meet this threat does not exist, a commercial AV software changes or low level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a frequent cause of instability, bugs, poor performance, and duplicates.

  ☞ changing the operating system, the software can also create weaknessesthat could be exploited by malicious attackers.

  ☞ especially, a false sense of security is dangerous. This fact relates to all AV software it will never be any changes elsewhere.

  9. a free AV product from the Mac App Store is safe as long as you don't let it delete or move files. Ignore all the warnings that it can give you on "heuristic" or "phishing." These warnings, if they are not simply false positives, see the text of e-mail messages or updates cached web pages, not malware.

  An AV application is not necessary and may not be invoked for protection against malware for OS X. It is useful, or even not at all, only to detect malware Windows and even for this use it is not really effective, because the new Windows malware makes its appearance much faster than OS X malware.

  Windows malware cannot hurt you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows). Just do not pass to someone else. A malicious link in the e-mail is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. A concrete example:

       London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe

  You don't need software to tell you it's a horse Trojan for Windows. Software may be able to tell what trojan is, but who cares? In practice, there is no reason to use a recognition software, unless an organizational strategy requires. Malware Windows is so widespread that you must assume that it is in each attachment until proof to the contrary. Nevertheless, a free AV product on the App Store can serve a purpose if it fulfills a misinformed network administrator that says you must have some sort of application AV. An App Store product will not change the operating system; in fact, it does nothing, unless you run it.

  If you are just curious to know if a file is considered malware by the AV engines, you can download it from the "VirusTotal" site, where it will be tested against most of them without charge. A negative result is evidence of what whether, for the reasons given above. I do not recommend doing this with a file that may contain private information.

  10. There seems to be a common belief that the firewall Application acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents operation of malware. He does not. It blocks incoming connections to some network services you are using, such as file sharing. It is disabled by default, and you should leave it like that if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate only when you are on an untrusted network, for example a public Wi - Fi hotspot, where you do not want to provide services. Disable services that you don't use in the sharing preferences window. All are disabled by default.

  11. as a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected whenever you install the software, read emails, or visit a web page. But nor can you assume that you will always be free from exploitation, no matter what you do. Internet browsing, it's like walking the streets of a big city. It can be as safe or as dangerous that you choose to do so. The greatest harm done by software AV is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They can then feel sufficiently safe to take risks, which the software does not protect them. Nothing can reduce the need for safe computing practices.

• New iMac with El Capitan blocks the first export

  We bought this new iMac last year (2015) and it came with El Capitan. In addition, it cannot be demoted to an operating system previous x. driver problems.  So after a few months first started crashing on the Adobe Media Encoder export. There are other bugs, but this one is debilitating. This works if you simply export but if you send to the SOUL, it blocks the two programs. I guess one of the latest Apple updates OS X caused this?

  Hi Garrett:

  I suppose that you change files from QuickTime movies, correct?  What CODEC are you using?  Apple has deprecated QuickTime for executives of Foundation AV.  Thus, the operating system is more multimedia as processing time it used to.  If your question is somehow associated with CODEC, you'll want to convert all your images source H264 or Apple ProRes (you may have noticed that QuickTime Player 10.4 OS x 10.11.5 does this automatically if necessary).

  Maybe try the demo version of CC?  If it works more as you'd expect, it's money well spent.  Also, do you know that you can subscribe to just first Pro CC for $19.99 / month?

  Another solution could be to Adobe Premiere Pro Elements, but also consult iMovie and Final Cut Pro X.  iMovie should already be installed (as I am sure you are aware) and I think that Apple always offers a trial version of FCP X.

• Can I install CS6 on a new iMac?

  Will be the Adobe Creative Suite 6 -installed from a CD, not the cloud- work in El Capitan?

  I just bought a new iMac 21 "(with an external DVD drive), El Capitan 10.11.5 running."

  I have a boxed version of Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium, bought in 2012.

  1. can I install the CS6 boxed set on the new computer? It will work with any problems?

  I need to work on legacy files (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator) if my Adobe Cloud membership is never cancelled.

  (I currently get the subscription as part of a TEAM working group.) If they had to terminate my services, I would be unable to bear the cost of a subscription of cloud from Adobe on my own and would therefore lose access to years of work - my own personal files as well as of their.)

  2. I have not yet installed the cloud on the new computer.

  Can I configure Adobe Cloud before install this legacy CS6, or after?

  Thank you!
