Can I throw away the stuff in CrashReporter?

I have an older iMac running OS 10.9.5 (Maverick) it has a 3.06 GHz intel core i3 processor.
My husband has a new iMac that runs via WiFi. (Sorry, I don't have the details of his machine. It's in another room and not accessible right now) I know he's running Maverick as well.
Anyway, he's had some problems with an on-line stalker. He thinks she may have planted malware, or a beacon or something on his machine.
If that's true, I suspect mine is compromised too, since his is piggybacked on mine.
Is there anything he should look for and anywhere he should look, to find out if she has planted anything?
He was looking through the bowels of his and found some things that didn't make sense. He has something called AirDrop identified in his library, but no where else. Its not on mine, that I can find.
What we both found, is in Library- Application support- CrashReporter. One named "anonymousIdentifier_DAF(a string of alphanumerics).plist" has him worried.
Each thing in the folder is a document.
I've just always been told to never take anything out of Library.
Also, there are folders he doesn't have access to. (like com.apple.TCC). I told him that's because they are used by the system and if he messes with them he'll break something.
As you can guess, I'm not that savvy, but neither is he. I don't try to fix what isn't broken, he's not so tame.
He's already had to take his machine into the Apple store to be reconfigured twice. I'm just trying to get some good information for him before he breaks it again.

Yes you can.

  • Does anyone know if I can SAFELY throw away the following items ?

    This may be a stupid question, but here goes :
    Can I throw away, I mean permanently, "ODBC Administrator" and "NetInfo Manager" utilities to clear up a little bit of space ? I have never used these.I DO NOT wanna screw everything up, so please do not reply "yes I can" unless you are 100% positive I can ... are these vitally important ?

    On my computer those two programs take up less than a total of 1 MB of space. If you are that desperate for space you'd be a lot better off even throwing away a single music file!

  • How can I get all the stuff from my old iPad 2 to my new iPad 2? I have an apple id and have synced and backed up my old iPad 2 regularly.

    How can I get all the stuff from my old iPad 2 to my new iPad 2? I have an apple id and have synced and backed up my old iPad 2 regularly.

    Sky is right you can restore the old backup and it will not affect the old iPad
    To make sure do this:
    1. If you have the old one then just turn off wi-fi and the iPad (that's just for your peace of mind)
    2. Put new iPad on airplane mode (just for no interruptions )
    3. Connect it (while it's on, don't shut it down)
    4. Follow prompts and when it asks if you want to setup as new or restore CHOOSE: RESTORE
    5. It will make its magic (just wait for it to sync, restarts, and finishes) it might ask you to update software if it does just accept
    6. You can rename your new iPad like that you can have a fresh back up
    7. ENJOY your new iPad
    ----------OR-----------
    1. Do the above steps 1, 2, 3.
    2. On step 4 you can choose to set up as new
    3. Then you can choose what to sync on it (click on iPad on the left panel then the tabs on top you choose what you want on it (you can also do that if you restore)
    4. Follow steps 5, 6, 7.
    ****If you don't have your old iPad you can remove it from your account ****
    ****Also when they sync it to a new computer it will setup as new unless they had an old one then they will restore it their old one****
    ****if you have it connected with your MobileMe or iCloud and you have the find my _____ you can also wipe it as soon as it comes online****
    LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
    AGAIN ENJOY YOUR NEW IPAD!!!

  • How can I take away the 1x1 transparent gif on my slideshows in muse?

    How can I take away the 1x1 transparent gif on my slideshows in muse?  It's showing up as a SEO error only on the pages that include slideshows. 

    To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

  • Can i throw away my previous sysytem..?

    ..if i have just performed a re-install (whilst keeping using preferences and users). The previous system is occupying about 10GB on my hard drive.. so my question is this.. can i throw it away..? Will it harm anything..?
    Thanks in adavance.
    Shane

    One more thing guys,
    As it takes about 2/3 mins to boot up my Powerbook now (since i did the re-install and evicted some fonts too, ran Disk utility etc) would it make performance quicker if i upped my IGB memory to 1.5GB memory..? Or should i continue to evict more fonts (i currently have about 1,400 installed in Fontbook).

  • Old computer broken...can I put ALL the stuff in my iPod on a new computer?

    Here's the deal..when I got my iPod 80GB Classic I had my iTunes on my laptop. I synched all my music, videos, and most of my pictures from the laptop to my iPod but soon after i did that the motherboard of my laptop went bad and so now I can't even turn the laptop on. I probably could get it working again but I can't aford to right now. I want to know if there's a way I can put all the stuff that's on my ipod on a different working computer. I need access to my files so I can use them for other things like burning CDs and printing pictures. Can i get to my files on the old computer even though it's broken? Or can I just use the iPod to move it all to where I can use the files? It's irritating that I HAVE all the stuff I'm wanting but I can't do what I want with it cuz it's all just on the iPod.

  • *DO NOT* throw away the N95 CD !!!!!!!!!

    When I originally purchased the N95 (SIM Free) I was told by the sales guy to throw the CD away as there was a newer version of PC Suite on the internet.
    Since I'm technically able and already owned a Nokia mobile I knew I had the latest version of PC Suite installed so I put the CD aside (I never throw anything away unless it's junk mail).
    Lo and behold a week ago I decided to try to get UPnP working (unsuccessfully) - as I couldn't be bothered reading the manual (big mistake) I kept visiting the N95 website and downloaded the online version of the manual which stated that the CD had an application which you need in order for UPnP to work on the PC end.
    So - I'm installing that program now and giving it another go - as an added bonus there's a Windows Media Player v11 driver which you can use to install music onto your N95 as well !
    Moral of the story ? Don't chuck your N95 CD away !
    Regards,
    Edward

    ive got my N95-1 streaming music over wifi. and i didnt use the disc. my firmware is v21.
    1) first you need to get "home media server" for the computer, available from simple center. google it. this is your UPnP client. make sure you select the nokia compatible software. install this. set it up as described on screen.
    2) now you need your N95. go to tools, home media. (it has been removed from gallery in one of the updates)
    3) follow the steps shown to connect to your home network.
    4) click on "browse home". it will then search for your home media server. while it is doing this go into your computer version of home media and click the "devices" tab. click add new device (top left ish)
    5) it should now search for your phone. your N95 should show up. mine did not first time, but after a few checks and re-searches on the phone and PC it came up. click it.
    6) pretty much it now. go back into your phone, into home media, click back/cancel, and click on "browse home" again. when it finds home media server click on it. it should now come up with a list of folders you can access! these should be the same ones you loaded into the computer software so any compatable file will be in there.
    7)to play music on the device, select the track you want from which ever folder you want, click the left softkey for options > play > on device. it will now stream your music*! it may take a few seconds to buffer, but it only does this on the first track.
    8) your all done! works brilliantly. i have my computer downstairs, streaming music to my phone, which is connected to my stereo in my room by a 3.5mm jack, so i get my full itunes library in my room! how cool is that!?!?
    note on adding music from iTunes: protected files (such as iTunes downloads) will not play on your phone. (booooo!)
    but any you have imported from CDs you own or other sources that are not protected will stream and play fine.
    1) to add your itunes music collection go onto your computer, go into home media server, click settings > media > add...
    2) now navigate to your itunes folder. should be in my music > itunes > itunes library. you can add just some artists (or not add some you know are protected) or add the entire folder like i did.
    if you know you are going to add your itunes library you can choose not to add media when you install media server. saves you having to remove media already loaded and then loading itunes folder in afterwards.
    *note on streaming music: some file formats are not compatable. mp3's are, but types such as apple lossless and other non standard formats are not (unfortunately, as i have all my dance music in lossless)
    there are some other cool features such as viewing pictures from your computer on your phone, and also vice versa. to view from computer go into your home media server and select pictures. it should be on the options menu to view on device, similar to playing music.
    you can show pictures on your phone on the computer by going into gallery, selecting the picture you want and clicking options>show via home network.
    you can use it as a remote control for your music to play from your computer as well. especially useful if you have a good sound system for your computer but no remote. you can play videos saved on your computer like this too.
    i hope you all have as much success and fun as i did. any questions just ask.

  • I have a dialog window on my iPad2 labeled iCloud Bakup -- the iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. The screen is frozen. I can't clear away the dialog box to close down iPad and I can't get to settings to make any changes there. Ideas?

    A dialog box has appeared on the screen of my iPad2 and has frozen the device so that I can't close it down or make changes to the settings. The titel is "iCloud Backup" and it reads: This iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi.
    I'm not sure why it hasn't backed up but I can't do anything to clear the dialog box, turn off the device or get to any settings or apps on the device.
    Any suggestions? Please help -- I'm caring for my mother in hospice and don't have time to deal with this at the Apple Store!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
    It will try to make a backup every time your iPad is plugged to the charger and connected to a network. To prevent that this message appears soon, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and choose Backup Now

  • When I try to download adobe, so that I can see some of the stuff I get on Facebook, it asks for my password, which I don't remember, despite the hint and don't find a way to change the password.  any suggestions. rob.

    I don't remember the password to get into adobe, despite the hint, so I can't run anything that comes on Facebook. Any suggestions?

    There is nothing on Facebook that you would need Adobe Reader for; perhaps you mean Flash Player?
    Either way, the username and password required for both of the above is for your computer's Administrator account.

  • Can I walk into an Apple store and have them evaluate my current IPad 2 to see if I'm eligible for a newer version, and if yes can they transfer all the stuff that's on it to the newer version?

    I just wanted to know if I went on site to a store if they could evaluate it and see if I could get a discount?
    I have usb cable power cord and cover for it too.

    Hi,
    I also recommend gazelle.com. I've been pricing many to sell electronics we no longer use and gazelle seems best for me.
    If you are trying to buy the ipad air, they're new, so I know you know there are no 'deals' to be had. But if you're thinking of buying an ipad 4, please consider this which I just sent to another poster with a refurbed ipad question. I wrote -
    [I strongly suggest that you buy your refurb ipad directly from the Apple online refurb store. We bought two last Summer - 2012. They have been great.
    All refurbed ipads come with a brand new front and back cover, a brand new battery and a full one year warranty, including the 90 days of phone support. They come in a box and include the charger, just like a brand new ipad. It just says refurbished near the bottom of he box. If you buy from other retailers, even authorized resellers, their own rules apply and they will not have been refurbished by Apple. Also, in most cases, you only get the remainder of the warranty that the original owner did not use.
    The great thing is you might consider increasing your gb space for still less than the cost of a new one. They are a bargain right now.
    If you decide on what you want, check the certified refurb store and order it fast. Because they are on the site when available, they can come and go. Some are back the same day and some can take weeks. Shipping is fast and free in the USA.
    After the intro of the ipad Air, the ipad 4 refurbed price came down another $30.00. I don't expect that to change anytime soon.
    Whatever you decide to buy, enjoy.]
    Hope this helps.
