Use ipad as screen for mac mini. Available only on Mac computers that have the Apple T2 Security Chip, Startup Security Utility offers three features to help secure your Mac against unauthorized access: Firmware password protection, Secure Boot, and External Boot.
If your Mac is using a firmware password, it ignores this key combination or starts up from macOS Recovery. Shift (⇧): Start up in safe mode. D: Start up from the built-in Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics utility, depending on your Mac model. Or use Option-D to start up from this utility over the Internet. Incredible insight Dick, what a great comment that really brings something special to this discussion about Mac malware threats. With your personal declaration that some of the security recommendations don’t work for you personally, I really feel like you’re getting to the bottom of this despite you feeling like the video is pretty slow going.
To open Startup Security Utility:
- Turn on your Mac, then press and hold Command (⌘)-R immediately after you see the Apple logo. Your Mac starts up from macOS Recovery.
- When you see the macOS Utilities window, choose Utilities > Startup Security Utility from the menu bar.
- When you're asked to authenticate, click Enter macOS Password, then choose an administrator account and enter its password.
Firmware password protection
Use a firmware password to prevent anyone who doesn't have the password from starting up from a disk other than your designated startup disk. To set a firmware password, click Turn On Firmware Password, then follow the onscreen instructions. Learn more about firmware passwords.
You can also use External Boot to prevent even those who know the firmware password from starting up from external media.
Secure Boot
Use this feature to make sure that your Mac starts up only from a legitimate, trusted operating system. Learn more about Secure Boot.
External Boot
Use this feature to control whether your Mac can start up from an external hard drive, thumb drive, or other external media. The default and most secure setting is ”Disallow booting from external media.” When this setting is selected, your Mac can't be made to start up from any external media:
- Startup Disk preferences displays a message that your security settings do not allow this Mac to use an external startup disk.
- Startup Manager allows you to select an external startup disk, but doing so causes your Mac to restart to a message that your security settings do not allow this Mac to use an external startup disk. You'll then have the option to restart from your current startup disk or select another startup disk.
To allow your Mac to use an external startup disk:
- Open Startup Security Utility.
- Select ”Allow booting from external media.”
Your Mac doesn't support booting from network volumes, whether or not you allow booting from external media. - If you want to select an external startup disk before restarting your Mac, quit Startup Security Utility, then choose Apple menu > Startup Disk.
Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicelyShort versionIf you want WMP & iTunes to live in harmony then disable WMP's options for updating or reorganising media, then tell it that its Rip Folder is the same as your iTunes MediaMusic folder. Move anything you want to add into iTunes either into the Automatically add to iTunes folder, assuming you are happy letting iTunes organise things, otherwise place them where you want, but inside the iTunes Media folder. If you are letting iTunes Keep the iTunes Media folder organised then WMP will work out when iTunes has moved something, but the reverse is not the case. WMP will also detect and add compatible (non-AAC) files that have been ripped or downloaded using iTunes, unless you tell it not to of course. If you want to automatically add compatible (non-WMA) files created by WMP into iTunes use or manually re-add the iTunes Media folder.
You should probably settle on.mp3 as your default media format so that the same audio files can be used in either player without unnecessary duplication of files. Choose a bitrate that gives you good enough quality, probably 256k or above. Most video formats will only work in one of the two media players.More on letting iTunes & Windows Media Player live happily togetherLonger version, with picturesUsing Edit Preferences Advanced take a note of the location of your iTunes Media folder, here for example I show the default path for a user called Steve. I choose to organise my files manually but generally recommend setting the Keep iTunes Media folder organised option to others as it requires less housekeeping. Having Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library set often encourages unnecessary duplication if you repeatedly import the same content when located outside of the media folder but the choice is yours.
If you are going to let iTunes manage the files then you can move or copy your imports into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder (inside the iTunes Media folder) otherwise arrange them to your taste within the iTunes Media folder before manually adding them to the library.On the Preferences General tab set your Import Settings to mp3 with a sample rate to suit your taste and the capacity of your devices.In Windows Media Player use Tools Options Rip Music to set WMP's rip folder to Music. Set the format to mp3 and choose your quality settings. Disable the Rip when CD inserted option so you can choose whether to rip with WMP or iTunes.On the Library tab make sure the highlighted check boxes are not ticked. This prevents WMP from automatically updating files and moving them about which can confuse iTunes. With both programs sharing the same media folders you should also take care when deleting tracks from one library that you don't accidentally delete the files if they should be left for the alternate library.WMP is able to detect when media has been moved from one location to another (providing it is monitoring the target folder) so you can move any music that is currently organised in your main folder into your iTunesiTunes MediaMusic folder and WMP will reconnect to it. You can then add those folders that you want to into iTunes without creating duplicates.
Of course you may have already duplicated some material so you'll need to consider this before deciding what to move around and what to delete. See also my script for removing duplicates and this for more background on it, including tips on how to dedupe manually.Existing WMA or AAC files in each library can be set out in the same folder structure accessible only to the WMP or iTunes libraries respectively or you can opt to convert them to a common format when the need arises.See for a suggested backup strategy.See for more on the benefits of sticking to the standard iTunes layout.This user tip was generated from the following discussion:.
