[QUOTE="6string, post: 1097607, member: 120039"] Definitely [U][B]don't[/B][/U] turn filevault on, and I believe that the master password is for filevault, which if you lose or forget, or something gets corrupted, you are a goner. Forget about Firewall too. It is off by default (set by Apple) for a reason. Apart from the fact that there are no Viruses for Mac, and that you can only get malware by practising unsafe surfing and dodgy downloads, your modem already has a built in firewall. The only trojans you can get, you need to enter your password to allow, after downloading dodgy stuff. Stay away from pirated software, and anything over the top, and you have nothing to worry about. While on that note, stay away from anti virus software. The Mac can't be effected by windows viruses, and even if you are on a network, or have windows installed on your Mac, then you should only have antivirus on the windows systems. :) I keep my photos in my pictures folder by default, and only put photos in iPhoto once I have them in my pictures folder, so if you practice that routine, then you can select from the pictures folder in your home folder. I've never tried to with do what you're doing with iPhoto, but I will test it out after posting this :) [/QUOTE]
