Apple releases an iOS Security Guide pdf

Howdy.
Apple has released a PDF file that is an iOS security guide.
I've found this PDF file via both Google and Yahoo searches and it can
be downloaded.
I've looked on Apple's Main (USA) web site and also the App Store and
can't find the guide.
Search on "iOS Security Guide" and you should be able to download it.

I faced the same decision for a homebrew PC I was upgrading. For me
the deciding factor was XP compatability mode. I have a number of
programs
that run under XP that I have no reason to upgrade. It's a situation
roughly analogous
to keeping Snow Leopard around so I can run Canvas 9 and other programs
under Rosetta.

Good point...nothing like going to the source for valid comparisons.
BTW,
a retail box is going to cost you ~$225 at best...but an OEM version can
be
had for less than $100. In installing multiple OSs under Lion, I
discovered
that Lion's Bootcamp expects to install Windows 7.....another black mark
against Lion IMO. [:(]

The machine will be at home, yes, but potential clients and/or my full time job may require that I access the corporate network. My original question wasn't really directed at whether I wanted Home or Pro anyway....it was more aimed at the 3 or 4 different types of installations there are. I know I don't need the upgrade so the question remained between OEM Builder edition and the full edition. I've now narrowed it down to wanting the full edition in case I ever decide to load it on another PC/Mac.
As far as my decision on Pro goes...I just want to make sure I'm covered if I need to do something that requires me to have a solid, secure network connection. I don't need to depend on XP at all. The PC I have at home is running 7 and my workstation at my job is running 7.
Is this the best solution???? I don't know for sure...like I said...I know next to nothing about how Windows works...but it sounds like it's what I need to do.
Thanks.

Not knowing what you do at work, it's hard for me to say, but unless your virtual Windows computer is to be a client node controlled by the server at work (which I think would require VPN networking), you can "connect" to the server via Outlook Web Access or Outlook Anywhere (accessing your mail, contacts, and calendar either via a web browser or by running the native Outlook Client) with an Exchange 2007 or more recent Exchange Server. So, I think you'll still save a bit of money by buying a Windows Home Premium OS.

Without getting into a pissing contest, did you read the article?
The points
made concern me as a longtime Apple user (starting in 1980 before the
Mac).
Apple wants Mac users to only buy apps through the app store. That
simply
does not work for me. Mountain Lion will strongly discourage software
purchases
outside the app store and the trend is towards prohibition. Apple's
direction is
looking more and more Microsoft like every year. [:(] Good to have
access to
alternatives though....

While I understand the ideas Woz puts forth, I don't think os modificationshould be allowed, as once it starts, entities like carriers can modify, and then you have fragmentation. After using an Android phone, I'm so glad iOS is locked down tighter.

No contention intended, Jim.
I'm just over half way thru the Steve Jobs book, and as an owner of Macs
since 1986, I feel I know much about them. That and reading the biography.
I have a MUCH better insight into Jobs, Wozniak and the currelt CEO or COO,
whatever he is.
I now have a slightly deeper insight to how Apple and it's movers and
shakers think.
It's obvious you and I have different end points, but there is no rancor on
my part. I'm just commenting on how I feel at the moment. Adding in the
most recent insight I have and what occurs to me along the way...

For anyone who has an hour to spare, a friend sent me this link to a speech that is very relevant to all this. I found the guy vaguely unpleasant, but what he says is quite powerful. The lecture is called Innovation in Austerity, and was given by Columbia law professor Eben Moglen

Bill,
You posted a similar article on another list, and got dog piled on.
Most Mac users like the "walled garden" Apple has created. Fewer security issues.

Pretty much summed it up, other than to say that there are other platforms that are open, you are free to use them if you want.

Not really. This article discusses the other article. I've been an Apple fanboy since 1984. I've never had to use a PC. But, I do not like the direction Apple is going in its OSes and app stores. They are becoming too fascist for my needs. In fact I bought 3 MBPros 8,3 i7 quads so I could continue to use Snow Leopard since it is a lot more open and I can still use Eudora. I do not like Lion. It is too closed. If security ever becomes a problem, I will re-evaluate. But at this time phishing is the only thing I feel I need to worry about. And that is up to me.

FWIW - I'm with Bill. I don't like what Apple or Microsoft are doing. I
think it's both limiting and anti-competitive. I don't want to be limited
to the App store and I don't want Microsoft telling me I cant install
Firefox on my Win 8 tablet.
I don't think saying so it anti Mac (or anti Microsoft) - I'm neither -
it's just my opinion about the direct the companies are taking. Others
might or might not share my opinion.

Bill,
I am not happy with the direction Apple is taking with simplifying the OS more like iOS. I think lack of user settings is a very big mistake. It might be great for the casual user or the switcher, but not for the advanced user, like you find on these lists.
I'm just as upset, maybe more than when they first rolled out OS X, but now I am very happy with OS X.
But the choice of words that you and the articles use are not helping your case. Fascism, prisons, and fortresses have nothing to do with what is happening. They are strong words invoking meanings you don't want, and will not evoke much sympathy for your cause.
You're not screaming, but tone it down some, and maybe more will join in on the conversation. But your best bet for changes is to send in specific feedback to Apple. Feedback about facts not rumors or speculation.
And you have done what you can to freeze time by buying 3 MBPs. But the rest of us want things to continue to develop. Eventually, you will have to move forward.

IF it's "forward." I feel it's backwards, to some degree. Lion is glossier, more automatic, and much much more intrusive to me, who am just trying to get my work done, not figure out the next thing that has been automated for me or hidden from me.
I used to love my Macs because I could just get down to work. Now it's always springing something at me. And graying out the icons. And, well, I'm too tired to sit and write an article about it now. But I feel my computer is intruding on my life and hampering me in ways I never felt before Lion. And this business about having to buy so many things from the App Store is irritating to me, and the stupid things like "Top Sites" in Safari, and "Cover Flow" in the Finder (does ANYone use that?) are so confusing to newer users.
On several occasions I've been showing someone their bookmarks in Safari, and they have responded to the effect of, "What's THAT????"
Who thinks up this stuff, anyway!?

*My* experience with Lion is that there's extremely little that "gets in my way"; and a number of aspects that smooth my path.

What does it "spring at you"?

Graying out what icons, when?

While I can appreciate your wanting to know more about Daly's specific objections, Jim, let's note that she's not asking for help with anything. Rather, she's more or less generally complaining that it doesn't feel right. And in the UX world, that which doesn't feel right *isn't* right.

So many of you to thank or respond to...
First off, in addition to the riggers of life away from my computer, I've spent many hours trying to follow and then UNfollow all the conflicting advise I've gotten here. And for the record, right or wrong, good or bad, I truly do appreciate all the help that's been offered to me. I don't, however, appreciate being taken out of context or blatantly misquoted. I especially appreciate all the time that Bekah and Ann put into trying to help me. But in the end, it seems my biggest problem is my "vintage' (according to Apple) computer.
I should have asked how to "export" photos from iPhoto to a desk-top folder...if that's what you meant to suggest. I only know how to drag them there. Kitty

I think dragging them might be part of the problem. Try actually "export" if
you have that option.
To "export"
Go to iPhoto and click on a thumbnail there. Then from the top menu choose
File > Export ... and choose your "Kind" (.jpg) ?, Quality (medium?), Size
(full, large, medium, small, custom) and any other option. Click "Export."
A new menu will come up which asks the destination - choose the new folder you
set up (so you can find it and identify it).
To "import:"
If you have a picture on your desktop or in a folder but NOT in iPhoto, you can
open iPhoto and use File > Import to Library. Then a screen will show up to ask
which photo. I don't know if your version of iPhoto has this but that's the
way I do it.

If you still insist on using the Yahoo webmail service then enlarging the
thumbnails before you send photos shouldn't be any problem at all, contrary to
what people here on the list have been telling you. In fact you have several
options to choose from to accomplish this task. I am using OS 10.7.4, but I
think this works basically the same in Tiger (v. 10.4.11).
You use iPhoto to store your photos. Right?
OPTION 1
1) Open your Yahoo mail. It should look something like this (screenshot no. 1).
http://minus.com/mDZTyu3DS/
[This page contains 8 screenshots. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to
navigate, or click on the arrows on the left and right side of the page. Please
click on the pictures to enlarge them. The browser is Safari]
As you can see two emails are flagged, which means this option is still offered
by Yahoo, contrary to what you said in an earlier email.
2) Now click the "Compose Message" button. What you should see is shown on
screenshot no. 2.
3) Press the "Attach Files" button and navigate to MEDIA (in the left lower
corner of the Sidebar) and select "Photos". You will see the photos you have in
iPhoto, large enough to pick and insert them into your Yahoo mail by clicking on
the "Open" button. See screenshot no. 3 (with written instructions).
If this MEDIA-Option, as I call it, is not available in OS 10.4.11 then go to
OPTION 2
1) Open iPhoto; choose the photos you want to send
2) Create a folder on the Desktop and give it a meaningful name (I called my
folder "Kitty").
3) Export the photos from iPhoto and place them into this folder.
4) Open your Yahoo mail.
5) Click the "Compose Message" button and then the "Attach files" button
6) Navigate to the folder into which you previously put your photos
7) What you now see might look like screenshot no. 4
The thumbnails are far too small, aren't they? That's because they are small in
Finder (I made it deliberately that way for the sake of this demonstration). In
order to *enlarge* the thumbnails you do this:
A) Open the folder in Finder (in our example the "Kitty" folder) and follow the
instruction on screenshot no. 5.
B) Now go back to Yahoo mail, press the "Attach files" button and you will see
that the thumbnails are now much BIGGER (see screenshot no. 6).
You can also use the Cover Flow option which brings us to
OPTION 3
a) Follow the instruction on screenshot no. 7
b) This will give you huge thumbnails! See screenshot no. 8
And now, after you have successfully sent photos of your beloved little animals,
you can – or rather should – delete the folder you created on the Desktop. The
originals are in iPhoto and we don't want to clutter our hard disks with
duplicates, do we?

Then go to your Yahoo mail and try to upload that one - easy to find if you have a new folder with one photo in it - do it to see what you can do - mail it to yourself if you want to as a practice shot.

Sorry, you did explain how to export photos. I just don't have that option with the version of Iphoto I have and use. K

Re: How do I recover deleted files?

That entry from the FAQ refers to the *recovered* files, and there might be
some other issue there. Are you getting that far? As it says, you need only
your normal (admin) user password to use sudo.
I've only ever run PhotoRec when logged in as my normal (admin) user. The
process when recovering from an external was the same as when recovering
from a memory card, although I quit it early because it would've taken
dozens of hours.
