Full disk encryptuion


since aware filevault2 has been cracked (in mere matter of minutes), best way secure entirety of mac os operating system. truecrypt manual says supports full disk system encryption variety of winblows devices, not mac.


there secure alternatives can recommend?

heard long computer isn't in "sleep" mode, fv2 still hold it's integrity. true?


, always:

love,
ring
:apple::apple::apple::apple:
 

very few people need full disk encryption. small subset of files sensitive information, make encrypted disk image.

Using Verizon LTE iPad with AT&T 3G


wirelessly posted (mozilla/5.0 (iphone; cpu iphone os 5_0_1 mac os x) applewebkit/534.46 (khtml, gecko) version/5.1 mobile/9a405 safari/7534.48.3)

suppose comes down whether new ipads gsm locked (i don't think first , second ipads were).

since new verizon ipad includes sim card slot , support hspa+, use at&t's 3g/fake 4g network? wouldn't work at&t's lte network because of band differences.

think would, it's possible it's locked verizon carrier, support international carriers. can confirm either way?
 

that's general understanding.

Let Me Share w/ You My Thought Process in Deciding iPad Cases/Protection


i've been closely following , intently reading , reviewing every single post in other thread here in ipad accessories forum; titled "search best new ipad hd case begins." had hoped replies focus me on case stands out in honesty has led me create thread, regarding case/protection need/want/require.

1. let's begin incipio lexington (http://www.myincipio.com/new-ipad-cases/incipio-new-ipad-lexington-hard-shell-folio-case.asp). amazement in other thread, case extremely popular. love sleekness , color, though admittedly used own incase magazine jacket (http://goincase.com/products/detail/magazine-jacket-cl57925) , realizing may want hold ipad naked :)eek:) on.

2. stm skinny (http://www.radtech.us/products/stm-skinny-ipad-case-with-stand.aspx) different incipio in terms of material, though both provide similar angles. college student, sell 1 @ our college student store , have admit i'm not fan of material. it's still option in mind seeing did used walk around time 1 of these type of cases original ipad 1. i'm upgrading new ipad feel taking advantage of holding thinner device, in turn leads me think naked route.
ipad 1 found myself taking off incase magazine jacket , using nakedly, though use typing , movie watching angles quite bit case on.

3. macally (http://www.macally.com/en/product/articleshow.asp?articleid=425), case offers detachable smart cover, though smart cover seems come macally , not apple. think appeal here of ipad protected , offers protection against falls , bumps , included macally smart cover angles use , accustomed to.

4. incase, snap case (http://goincase.com/products/detail/snap-case-cl57963/1) offers protection , falls , bumps like. have similar incase case iphone 4 , though works smart cover, not sure if want case add bulk. obvious give , take here , (some) fall protection.


5. incase maki sleeve (http://goincase.com/products/detail/maki-sleeve-cl57994/1) has unique , beautiful design. love thought of being able put ipad on , walk other side of campus class , still have typing , movie watching angles can provide. love closes via magnets. says works smart cover case provides though viewing angles. when walking about, case provide protection, though none when ipad out of case , in hands. i'm sure pair incase snap case (#4) or reason following (#6) caught eye...

6. icarbons (http://www.icarbons.com/collections/new-ipad-3rd-gen/products/new-ipad-brushed-aluminum), can't think looks great , though provide protection in sense of preventing scratches on of ipad, provides no protection if device falls. nevertheless couldn't pairing #5 & #6 together... or #5 & #4.

in conclusion, should mention i'm not business man in elevators , business meetings. i'm college student goes , class ipad. aside, have ipad me on dorm room floor , in lounges people studying , hanging out. furthermore, take ipad out of university bubble on weekends when go home, go shopping @ mall or driving around in car on date. aside accessories i've listed above, have stm scout shoulder bag in olive (http://www.stmbags.com/catalog/ipad-bags/scout-for-ipad-shoulder-bag/) gets used on longer car trips or when it's gonna longer day or don't wanna walk down dark alley ipad in hand. :cool:

this thread should've been titled, "help me decide."

everyone, thank you. :apple:
 

wait... bring ipad on dates? ain't so! :p

AirPlay via iTunes skipping when streaming to multiple AirPort Express's


i'm not sure if right forum this, know guys helpful , know answer.

i'm using itunes on 2011 macbook pro stream music. have 1 airport express 'n' in living room connected home theater, , 1 apx 'b/g' in bedroom connected pair of speakers on desk. when streaming music either 1 room or other have no problems. however, when streaming music both @ once occassionally experience audible skipping, or sound dropping out entirely several seconds @ time. intermittent, , doesn't seem correlate increased network traffic. in fact, there's no other network traffic @ when happens.

caused mixing b/g , n routers? upgrading older apx 'n' fix streaming problems? there quick fixes can increase network bandwith or otherwise improve network performance , fix issue?

appletv have 802.11n , possible use 1 instead of apx same functionality? (see, tied atv/ht forum there.)
 

i don't have answer, have similar problem may shed light.

have 2 ap expresses set airplay, , 1 of them has skipping problem describe. 1 skips 1 have set wireless base station, 1 doesn't skip used solely airplay. suspicion it's dual use wireless base station , airplay device causes choke.

incidentally, 1 has problems n router. 1 not have problems older b/g model.

Do Tweeks etc drain the battery faster?

have 4s , it's jail broken. had handset replaced & before had loads of different tweeks on it...battery wasn't great.
now, have put on killbackground - that's such tweek :) apple should put in.

haven't put else on yet..apart few safety packages etc.

jailbrake alone drain battery faster? mods & tweeks cause battery drain?

or..no, 'it doesn't make difference & think it's draining faster because on iphone modding , tweeking' :)
 

not necessarily.

they can.

2 Different iPhones...1 iTunes


my gf's iphone 4 freezing on past weekend , asked me if can restore her. did so, , afterwards showed on itunes ed's iphone (which mine), listed cell number made no sense. changed name hers again , synced iphone , after sync showed correct cell number , seemed fine, tonight went sync iphone 4s , when clicked on apps showed many more apps checked on (as if on iphone) weren't.

gonna post in apple forums too, wanted know if else experienced , fix it? :confused:
 

i think it's "authorize/deauthorize computer" issue.

since synced iphone on computer, need plug in iphone computer once more , "deauthorize computer" in itunes.

Custom Machine vs Mac Mini/Second Hand Mac Pro


following announcement of mountain lion today, realise won't able continue current macbook longer if want new os, has intel gma x3100 chip.

i've decided want desktop end doing lot of video editing , processing, need packs punch, , i'll want play few games well, has reasonably high end. here options i've come far:

1) custom built machine: seems far best one. don't have huge amounts of money spend , know can kickass machine latest processor, memory, ssd , graphics within budget (about $800). i've never built computer before, there great video guides around reckon manage it. install mountain lion on it, have question regarding this. if clone current hd onto ssd, , put custom machine, work normal? when time comes, able upgrade mountain lion through mac app store or require complex hackintosh type manoeuvre? if so, might opt 1 of next 2 options, though have custom pc tempting option, might want install windows 8 on separate hd when time comes looks pretty impressive new ui.

2)mac mini: new ones have pretty impressive specs, still know have compromise in regard compared custom machine or second hand mac pro. other problem getting stuff on current hd on mini i'm pretty sure apple have problem covered when set up. it's while since i've set mac can't quite remember happens regarding transferring files, applications , content.

3) second hand mac pro: i've checked on ebay , cheapest ones sell within budget, , deliver best performance. what's more can upgrade it, useful , can't mini. , it's made apple wouldn't have potential complications regarding installing mountain lion.

i'm off uni next year, , won't buy until summer, still want hear guys have say.
 

any sandy bridge (onwards) core i7 ssd , 16gb of ram.

save money you'd spend on 3d card, , buy console gaming?

suspect current sandy bridge/coming ivy bridge 16gb ram , ssd blow secondhand mac pro out of water performance wise doing, equivalent price.

transferring data simple: if use time machine, point new mac @ old time machine backup when running through startup wizard , bring on (apps, data, lot).

Prevent update of an AppStore app.


is there hack can prevent upgrade of appstore app?

"upgrade all", have app preserve in specific version, , nuisance having upgrade other 1 @ time. if there jb tweak specify apps hide upgrade, nice. or way manually, e.g. copying app place.

way, can manually downgrade app later, if e.g. save copy of directory in, , later copy back. or cause trouble?
 

update hider. can select each app don't want update , update might show few seconds when go app store it'll disappear , can press update all.

Thunderbolt question.


ok here scenario... have 21.5" 2011 imac.
i'm wanting dual-monitor setup. found led monitor deal.

question is, can hook via hdmi mini display port hdmi adaptor? or must have thunderbolt hdmi? know thunderbolt backwards compatible i'm unsure how works video.

if mini display adaptor work, picture fine? 1080p monitor. help!
 

for display thunderbolt port mini display port. (with 1 exception, apple thunderbolt display works on thunderbolt port. that's because of other features built display)

normal display can use mini display port adapter like. suggest hdmi or dvi adapter.

(a quick search have answered question pretty fast...)

iMac G5 20" SSD?


hi,

have old imac 2ghz g5 20" 1.5gb ram (from 2005) in kitchen. it's last model before went isight camera. has new 2tb wd caviar black hd (one of best available). runs osx 10.4.11 tiger , used safari browsing , spotify via airfoil/airport express.

now, thought fun, since these easy-to-upgrade ones put small 60gb ssd in ( not care space).

know it's not wise (financially) not care, since it's fun. local stores here sell vertex 2/3 or agility drives. know these total overkill, sell around 60-80 euro's.

see speed increase? machine runs flawlessly , not slow. have thing best out of everything, older machines:apple:.

i'd hear opinions if make difference (i have ssd's in machines varying 2006-2011). don't care price , stuff that, don't start that.;)

i've had lot of macs (before mba w/ 27 tb , had 27 imac 16gb ram/ssd bla bla) in last years ( switch lot).

want feedback, that's all. :)
 

so, took plunge , purchased ocz agility 3 60gb ssd. formatted mac os journaled witht powerpc apple partition (not guid). drive not getting recognized system unfortunately using tiger install disks..

Should I restore because of this?


hi all,

jailbroke iphone 4 ios 5.0.1 2 weeks ago. first time jailbreaking anything. issue is:

find can't update apps (there's red alert on icon , it's annoying can't update future apps i've downloaded because 1 of apps need updating ios 5.1) if can't update 1 app, means can't update other apps..right? because there 1 option "update all". --this biggest problem me.

second issue is:

phone slower.

reason jailbreak have infinity folders , no apps wallpaper on home screen. added notification center --and that's it. not sure if it's worth keep jail break.

solutions?
 

mines fine love jailbreak can decide if don't. ;)

you can use available external hdd mac os x , windows, comes down format.
exfat might best suited nowadays.

overview of 4 major file systems (called "formats" in mac os x) used on windows , mac os x, compiled ggjstudios. can use disk utility format hdd liking.

external hard drive work pcs or macs, long connectors there (firewire, usb, etc.) it doesn't matter how drive formatted out of box, since can re-format way like. formatting can done mac os x disk utility, found in /applications/utilities folder. here formatting options:

fat32 (file allocation table)
  • read/write fat32 both native windows , native mac os x.
    [*]maximum file size: 4gb.

    • for 32-bit mac os x, install ntfs-3g mac os x (free) (does not work in 64-bit mode)
    • for 64-bit snow leopard, read this: macfuse 64-bit snow leopard
    • some have reported problems using tuxera (approx $36).
    • native ntfs support can enabled in snow leopard , lion, not advisable, due instability.
  • airport extreme (802.11n) , time capsule not support ntfs
  • maximum file size: 16 tb
  • maximum volume size: 256tb
  • you can use format if routinely share drive multiple windows systems.
hfs+ (hierarchical file system, a.k.a. mac os extended (journaled) don't use case-sensitive)
  • read/write hfs+ native mac os x
  • required time machine or carbon copy cloner or superduper! backups of mac internal hard drive.
    [*]to read/write hfs+ windows, install macdrive
    [*]to read hfs+ (but not write) windows, install hfsexplorer
  • maximum file size: 8eib
  • maximum volume size: 8eib
  • you can use format if use drive mac os x, or use backups of mac os x internal drive, or if share 1 windows pc (with macdrive installed on pc)
exfat (fat64)
  • supported in mac os x in 10.6.5 or later.
  • not windows versions support exfat. see disadvantages.
