All of s sudden I am asked for a CAPTCHA promt at google when I look something up. This started yesterday and after reading their terms sort of implies that I must have malware. Any thoughts. Thanks

Small chance that you have been infected by Trojan.OSX.BASH/QHost.WB.A that was out for about a day back near the end of July. To be certain open Network Utility from your Utilities folder and do a ping for google.ca and google.com. Also do a locate for each. If the results of the ping show an IP address of 91.224.160.26 that confirms the infection. If the ping IP matches any of the locate IPs then your OK.
Do you recall downloading and installing a flash update called "FlashPlayer.pkg.zip"? That's what caused the problem so you should trash it if you have not already so your not apt to redamage the host file.
To confirm, launch the TextEdit application and select File -> Open from the menu bar. With the file dialog open, press the key combination Command-Shift-G. In the "Go to the folder:" dialog type "/etc/hosts" without the quotes and click the "Open" button. Post the contents of the hosts file.

I am having the same experience. Did you find a solution??

OK... all of a sudden I get asked for mail password

This has just started happening recently... and it is getting a little irritating. What makes it even more frustrating is it not consistent... sometimes it asks me two or three times a session and other times it works without issue.
I will be in Mail and the box pops up asking me for my password and I check the little box allowing it to put it in keychain... sometimes a few moments later it pops up again...
Can anyone tell me what is going on or what has possibly changed. I sure haven't changed anything on my system with Mail. It almost makes me want to switch to Entourage.
Thoughts??

Like many others, I too have noticed intermittent mail-check authentication failures since around mid-November. I use Eudora 6.2.4 with 3 Verizon accounts and another at my employer; only the Verizon ones have this problem. I see the same thing with Mail.app (version 3.5).
In my case, the problem seems to be 100% correlated with 2 of Verizon's pool of about 15 servers. Please see my postings at
http://forums.verizon.com/vrzn/board/message?board.id=FiOS_Internet&thread.id=10 18 .
I have no explanation as to why some user's Mail Preferences are reverting to APOP. I can see that Ernie Stamper's suggested workaround of setting the preference to "Password" works on Verizon, but IMHO is a bit risky, since that results in your name and password being sent in the clear. I have found that for Verizon users at least, setting the preference to "MD5" is better; that's secure, and it'll work most of the time, but if it fails, Mail will immediately fall back to "Password" which will always work -- that's still unsecure but at least it does that only occasionally rather than every time.

So all of a sudden iWeb is asking me to "Enter the password for "[email protected]" when I try to publish changes I've made.
I have no idea what this is? It was about 5years ago I made the website and set it up.
Can anyone help or suggest where I can find this password or reset it...?
Much appreciated.

You're being asked for the password for your online hosting account. Where are you hosting your website? Contact customer support for the hosting service you're using to get the password and user ID to use.

- How did you dlete stuff from the iPod? If you have a 1G or 2G iPod and deleted the stuff by going to Settings>Genera.>Reset>Erase aall contents and settings without being connected to a power source, the battery dies before he erase was comleted since it can take hour.
- In any event try the following:
- Connect to a chaging sour for three hours.
- Reset the iPod and then connect to the computer and try to restore va iTunes.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try placing the iPod in recovery moe and then try to restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last try DFU made and restore.

Would it be too much to ask for Firefox to ignore the "www" when sorting history by site?

Like it says in the topic question. Would it be too much to ask for Firefox to ignore the "www" when sorting history by site? IE ignores the "www", but not Firefox. It's a real pain to have to look in two places rather than one for a site I previously visited.
Other than that my migration to FF has been great.

Hi, as far as I can infer, that term means it's not loading any resources until needed, opposite of this...
-bind_at_load
Sets a bit in the mach header of the resulting binary which tells dyld to bind all symbols when the binary is loaded, rather than lazily.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/ld.1.html
Load resources lazily.
You should never load a resource file until it is actually needed. Prefetching resource files may seem like a way to save time, but this practice actually slows down your app right away. In addition, if you end up not using the resource, loading it wastes memory for no good purpose.

Try deleting that app, then see if you have the same issue.

Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
Try a PRAM reset:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now?
