Is it possible to have a bot on a Mac?

I recently updated to lion, and I downloaded a torrent (the only torrent I ever downloaded), but I deleted it before it even finished downloading. Our internet has been turning off every few hours, but we just reset it and it's fine. Two weeks ago comcast called us and said that "Your Computer has been infected with a bot" And I went to the website that they said to go to and it brought my to a link to download norton antivirus (I did only because I didn't know what else to do and my computer has been acting kind of weird....) and the situation was getting better... UNTIL today. I tried to go on the internet and it wouldn't let me on so I reset the router, when I tried to get back on I got an error message that another Ip address was trying to access our network connection from my computer so it wouldn't let me on the network, but after 30 seconds the error message went away and I was free to access the internet. Now I keep getting messages saying that "SO and SO (not really the name but i didn't remember what it actually was) is trying to access safari" and I always block it because of the fact that the names of the Applications (AKA so and so ) are really strange and unfamiliar. What is wrong with my mac, I havent called comcast only because they don't know ANYTHING about macs. What should I do? Is it possible for a mac to have a bot, or any type of virus that affects mostly P.C's. IS it even a bot? Or is it something worse and comcast is wrong (as always with macs)! PLEASE HELP!
ALSO, it keeps changing the name of the applications like just now something popped up "Google software..." bla bla bla is trying to use your internet, but I didn't allow it because I figured it was a trick, and then another google software update thing was trying to access it, but this time it had a different name.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The answer is yes. You can get a third-party company to put it in for you. However, your machine will most likely not be warranted by Apple anymore, and any hardware problems you have later will either have to be settled by the third-party company or by yourself.
Every third-party company will have their own guarantees and warranties on their service, so if you do decide to do this, you must make sure you know what you're getting yourself into.
Not to mention, the process is usually sort of expensive, and you should be debating as to whether or not you should just buy a 12" PowerBook with a SuperDrive anyway.
Regardless, here are a few third-parties who can perform this for you:
TechRestore
MacService
PowerBook Medic

Is there any possibility to have iTunes U available for Mac also ?

Someone may tell me if apple is making an iTunes U app for MacBook Pro also ?
Thanks !

Apple has not said anything about plans for a separate iTunes U app for computers. Until such time as they do, if ever, you need to use ITunes.

Is it possible to have 2 different library 1 for ipod and 1 for iphone ?

Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to have 2 different library in itunes 1 for a ipod and 1 for a iphone.
I'm using the same computer as my boyfriend to sync my iphone and his ipod and we absolutly don't listen to the same music so if i could have 1 library for my iphone and 1 for his ipod it would be best of bot world when we sync our iphone/ipod.

Yes. Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down as needed, or use separate user accounts on the computer.

Possible to Have ToC Default to Show Only Top Level (collapse sublevels)?

Howdy!
I'll bet I'm not the only one wishing for this. Let's say you're using Captivate 4's Table of Contents feature with a longish movie of Cp slides, which is chunked into bite-size sections content-wise. In the ToC, though, you can't mimic that same organization scheme; at least, the learner would first need to collapse all the ToC folders you've created so they see only the top-level listing.
This can be a critical issue: keeping the at-first-glance list in the ToC brief enough to be inviting to learners, yet allowing learners to drive which details are currently visible.
A movie's topical hierarchy could be along these lines, for example ...
Section 1 - National Brands
What are National Brands?
Why Are They Important to Our Business?
Working with Nat. Brands
Practice Your Knowledge
Section 2 - International Brands
What are International Brands?
Why Are They Important to Our Business?
Working with Intl. Brands
Practice Your Knowledge
You'd like to organize the ToC to show only the section titles (1st level) and to suppress the 2nd-level detail (slide titles) until the learner chooses to expand the folder to see those details.
I've tried things like grouping the slides into sections in the Storyboard view and organizing the slides into sections strictly within the ToC -- both to no avail.
Has anyone solved for this need yet?
I'm all ears, and you'd be doing learners of the world a huge favor.
Thanks!

Hi, Jim.
Thanks for being 'on the case' and looking into this so quickly. Your
findings are encouraging, although my user base is generally working with
IE 6 and FP8 or 9.
Since the only thing I may influence is getting IT to help push out FP10,
I'm hoping it's more of a player- than a browser-version issue.
I'll test things out by Monday and let you know the results. Wish me luck!
Dave

Dave,
I just tested this on my local web server and it worked fine. I created a
blank project with 8 slides. Created my TOC with grouping... 2 slides in
each group. I turned on self paced learning. I tried with and without the
widget and it picked up where I left off in either case. See
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B86WuEq6SVwRNWIwMjhjODctMjE2Yy00MWE2LWI5YzEtMGQxYzNjOWQ0Z mI2&hl=en.
I published using FP10 and IE8 to view. Notice any difference between
your project and this one?
Thanks,
Jim Leichliter

Is it possible to have an attachment within a pdf doc print at the same time the main doc prints?

Okay, so this may be kind of a weird question. We have some users who are wanting to add a page to an already existing xml document and correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read that it's not possible to add/delete pages from a pdf that's in xml format. Since that is not possible, I have added the page to the xml document as an attachment. Now what I am wanting to know is if it is possible to have the attachment print out at the same time as the main document. We are using the latest version of Adobe Reader and I have access to Adobe Acrobat Standard 9 & 10 and then I have access to Adobe Acrobat Pro 7. I've been unable to find anyting via google or by searching this forum so hopefully I'll draw out some kind of smart cookies and we'll get this figured out. I appreciate any and all input!
Thanks,

I know of no way to do this with Reader or XML.

HT1399 Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming. So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on. But the ipad is a different story. I have the music and artist but not one playlist I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this.
Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z. Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac. Which I do talk highly of all the time. But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not. Any ideas?
Thanks Al

Thanks in advance for any help!
You didn't specify whether you are using the "official" Yahoo mail app, or some other email application like K-9. But either of those allow for the specification of multiple email accounts, and you don't even really need to sign in/out. Once you set up the accounts within the app, just select the email account that you want to view. It might be a little more problematic if you want to prevent each other from being able to see the other's email, however.

How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

Is it possible to have a Cron job in CPO to check the running status of a workflow

Is it possible to have a Cron job in CPO to check every hour to see if a particular workflow is running, if not trigger it by creating a alert, if yes- autokill

Hi Warren,
We don't want our process to expire and also not to execute twice at once. We have a provisioning wrapper workflow which is triggered one time by an alert and it runs endlessly by creating an alert at the end of each instance triggering another instance of the same unless CPO hangs or goes to stand by mode. Since we belong to service team, we don't have any kind of access to CPO DB or logs, so that possibility is ruled out. Just checking for alternatives.

HT1353 Is it possible to have another iCloud login on my unit without me logging into that account?

Is it possible to have another iCloud login on my unit without me logging into that account?
I lost my iTouch4 last June10 after a party. I stayed in a hotel with my team that night when i lost it --- lost in the hotel not in the party. I just got my new iPhone 4S this June25. When i used Find my Phone app i saw that there are 2 devices: ipod (named after one of my teammates) and iPhone (under my name). whne i check the features of my iPhone, the contacts, calendar, bookmarks and apps i downloaded previously on iTunes are sync to what i entered on my iTouch. My teammate told me that he also noticed that on "his iPod" and he dont know why his apple ID was changed to mine.
Is it possible to get that situation? Or is that an evidence that he has my iPod touch 4? I need help to clear things out. Thanks.

- I do not understand what yo are seeing with the FIndMyiPod app. That app can set up to find any iOS device. you just have to enter the Apple ID and passwords used for that device.
- on your computer go to iCloud, sign into your account and go to FindMyiPhone. What do you find?

Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad? I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive. One of my cameras does not use an SD card. How can I do this?

Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad? I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive. One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line. Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory. Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive? Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad? Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips. Internet and WiFi are not available. Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad). I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC. I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips. Is this possible and how would I do it? I'd appreciate any guidance.

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that. You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
Unlikely. But nothing is impossible. Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.
mannyace wrote:
Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.
