I have accidentally downloaded the Mackeeper to my I mac and am now unable to get rid ofit. I have tried dragging it to the waste bin but it wont play ball any ideas?

Help i am unable to remove it from my computer

MacKeeper is highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system. It is also unethically marketed and a rip-off. Positive reviews of it are known to have been paid for by the developers, Zeobit.
Further opinion on it and how to uninstall MacKeeper malware:

Do NOT download or use the ‘MacKeeper uninstaller’ from the Zeobit site, as this will cause even more damage to your operating system.

  • I have downloaded the NUMBERS App, but cannot open it. Any ideas?

    I bought an ipad2 yesterday and downloaded the NUMBERS App but cannot make it work. I cannot open it. Unfortunately I am not used to ipads so maybe I'm missing something.
    HELP Please

    Did you use the mac app store? If so, you downloaded it for a Mac.
    If you downloaded from the iTunes application, or from the iPad itself, then on the iPad, go to the home page, and press the home button once to bring up search (you may have to press it again) Type in Numbers. Does anything come up?

    Hi Becki ..
    You need to "authorize" the Mac.
    Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

  • I have 2 apps that have been waiting to update for a week.  I don't really care about the update, I would just like to use them, but the are stuck waiting.  I have tried powering down, syncing with my computer...all fails.  Any ideas?

    At this point you have no choice but to update the or delete them and reinstall them since you wont be able to use them until they update - or come out of the "waiting" loop.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • Scanning in both HP Officejet 7210 and Samsung printer - the document scans but no file is generated - any ideas how to fix this?  (It worked fine before installing Mavericks)

    Scanning in both HP Officejet 7210 and Samsung printer - the document scans but no file is generated - any ideas how to fix this?  (It worked fine before installing Mavericks)

    PS: forgot to mention: if your printer is on your wifi network, you'll have to enter your wifi password on the printer to connect it to the network before Printers & Scanners will see it.
    Sometimes a reset of the wifi system is needed too. A full set of directions would be:
    Try:
    uninstall all printer manufacturer apps and "utilities"
    go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
    control-click on your printer in the column on the left
    select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
    do a factory reset on your printer. You'll have to consult the printer manual for how.
    power down everything: modem, router, computer, and printer
    power up each item in turn in the same order: modem, router, computer, and printer. Let each power up completely before moving on to the next
    enter your wifi password in your printer so it can connect to the network
    go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple
    resist the temptation to install any printer manufacturer apps in the future.

  • I am runnig Firefox 18.0.1 and the plugin-container is using all my ram, have tried altering dom.ipc.plugins to false but makes no difference. Any advice please

    I am running Firefox 18.0.1 and the plugin-container is using all my ram, have tried altering dom.ipc.plugins to false but makes no difference. Any advice please

    plugin-container.exe is used to run Flash and other plugins so if they crash they do not take down your main Firefox session. But... I don't think memory usage would be that different if you tricked Firefox into running Flash inside firefox.exe. (There was a thread with the trick, but I can't recall the details. It was not a regular Firefox setting.)

  • Since I downloaded Firefox 3.6.6 on my Mac, I am now unable to get e-mail address to automatically complete when I enter the first few letters of the address. in English

    Since I downloaded Firefox 3.6.6 on my Mac, I am now unable to get e-mail address to automatically complete when I enter the first few letters of the address. in English
    == This happened ==

    In my case it seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore after the FF update. (and yes, my add-ons are enabled - to answer the tech support people's first question).
    For me, the coupon printer doesn't even show up in my Firefox "Add-Ons" list anymore. Is that what people typically see when they're saying the coupon printer "doesn't work" with FF? The coupon printer was visible on the add-ons list before my FF update, and now it's totally Gone! It seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore since the FF update.
    When I'm on the coupons.com site and I click "print coupons", it tells me I haven't installed the application. But it Is installed on my computer, I can see it in my folders, and it works on IE, so it's definitely there.
    BTW - I have uninstalled/reinstalled the coupon printer application. I have tried all the suggestions on the Mozilla help/forum sites, as well as the Coupons.com web site. I have closed and re-started Firefox after the installation. I have also shut down and restarted my pc after installation. I tried installing the application with Firefox open, and tried it again with Firefox closed. I've even cleared out all my cookies/history associated with Coupons.com.
    ... I can't think of anything else to try, except for the "solution" of using IE for coupons.
    If it Really is a problem on the Coupon.com end of things, do you think it's worth it if we bombard the coupons.com support team with messages saying they need to fix the problem? (or just a waste of time?) ;(

  • I have 2 airport express base stations that I am trying to use to extend my wifi. I have windows 7 and downloaded the airport utility but it wont pick up my airport express. Does anyone know what im doing wrong and how to get them to work?

    I have 2 Airport Base stations that I am trying to use to extend my WiFi but I cant get them to work. I downloade Airport Utility to windows 7 and it doesnt recognize any devices. I have them plugged in and they have a solid yellow light. Does anyone know what I need to do to get them to work. Your help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for providing the model information.
    I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on all of your AirPort base stations. Once completed power them all down. While powered-down, temporarily connect both Express base stations to an open LAN port on the Extreme using separate Ethernet cables.
    Once connected, power up the Extreme; wait five minutes, and then, power up each of the Express base stations. Which you power-up first doesn't matter.
    Now start up the AirPort Utility on the PC. It should now "see" all three base stations. If so, go ahead and configure your extended network.
    Please post back your results.

    What type of encryption are you using with your wireless network -WEP or WPA?
    If your wireless router supports both which it should unless it is quite old and you are using WEP, try switching to WPA which is much more secure than WEP which is important if you have a Windows PC or any Windows based device connected to your network.
    In addition, when was the last time you checked Netgear's website to see if there is a firmware update available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?

  • I downloaded the Avatar soundtrack, but certain songs play halfway then just cut, and play the next track...how can I get a refund or re-download?

    I downloaded the Avatar soundtrack and in the downloads sections, all music downloaded to complete, yes more than half the tracks play halfway then just cut out and play the next track...it's awful...how can I resolve this??

    I THINK I have solved the problem. Can't be 100% because I don't want to try a restore. At least the Apple home page lites up correctly with quicktime now. It hadn't in the past.
    Thank you for your assistance. - LRB
