There Goes The Neighbourhood Mac OS

There goes the neighborhood! Play the star of a cheeky TV Show who taking revenge on his horrible neighbor by constantly pranking him at home and around the world in. There goes our plan. There goes the country (down the drain). There goes all our money. There goes his dignity. While there is nothing racist or classist intrinsic in a neighborhood 'going' (maybe a flood just washed over it), the connotation of 'there goes the neighborhood' is indeed.

  1. This symbol at boot means Mac OS X cannot access critical files on the start-up disk. This symbol at boot means the system has found a bootable installation of Mac OS X on the system, but there is.
  2. Where once there were vacant lots and houses that residents avoided for fear of crime and trouble, now there is a verdant urban farm and community garden, a barn that hosts DJs and neighborhood events, a rehabbed foreclosed home now known as the “Think-Do House,” a shipping container transformed into a greenhouse with solar power, a carpentry workshop, and a pocket park.
  3. MacOS has a build in Sandbox feature which may help you but does not exactly have the same functionality as Sandboxy. This Paolo Fabio Zaino's Blog post from 2015 explains how to run Applications in a Mac OS X sandbox.

Apple's website used to boldly claim that the Mac 'doesn't get PC viruses,' but following the spread of the Flashback botnet, the company has since toned down the language to say that OS X is 'built to be safe.'

The changed list of features on Apple's promotional website for OS X was first noticed by PCWorld. Another headline on the site used to say that users could safeguard their data 'by doing nothing,' but the page has since been changed to read, 'Safety. Built right in.'

The new, revised language is less boastful about OS X security, and the it no longer mentions 'the thousands of viruses plaguing windows-based computers.' Rather than putting down Windows PCs, Apple now simply focuses on how OS X helps to keep users safe.

The changes come just a few months after more than 600,000 Macs were estimated to have been infected by a trojan horse named 'Flashback.' More than half of the Macs believed to be infected by the botnet were found in the U.S. alone.

The first iteration of the malware appeared in 2011 disguised as an Adobe Installer. Following installation, Flashback harvests sensitive data like user IDs, passwords and web browsing history and sends the information to an off-site server.

After the malware began to spread rapidly, Apple responded by releasing a number of software updates to block Flashback. Apple also issued a Flashback-specific malware tool in April.

I have a MacBook Pro and every time I leave the computer running for a long period of time, the computer puts itself to sleep and asks a password to wake it up.

Undoubtedly such a password protects my MacBook with the easiest way, and this option is set by default while my MacBook is login with a user password. But it seems troublesome sometimes. And probably it would lock me out of Mac while I suddenly forget Mac password.

So I try to stop OS X from asking for password after waking up from sleep. If you need to do this, you had better make sure your Mac is running in your home network and nobody could use your Mac without permission except you. Otherwise, your Mac will face a security problem.

Let's see how to disable password requirement when waking up Mac from sleep.

Before changing settings on System Preferences, it is necessary to state you have administrative privileges. So usually the 'require password after sleep' is greyed out while you have not removed the lock on system settings with administrator.

Step 4: Under General tab, uncheck the option 'Require password after sleep or screen saver begins'.

Now click Apple Menu Sleep to make your Mac sleep and you can see whether it still requires password after waking up from sleep.
