What do your recommend in Mac programs that will do what MS Publisher does, but better for less?
I am not sure where I should post general software questions so if this is not the correct one please let me know where I should post a question like this in the future.
Thanks

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Your What are Your Recommended TextPad Embellishments

As a long-time TextPad user I've been quite impressed with the editor's amazing and powerful features and is why I have been feeling lately that the ESTK is coming up a little on the short end as I begin this journey into writing attempting to write ExtendScript /JavaScript for InDesign.
With Theunis's compiled CHM help file as an added tool available from TextPad, I may try scripting away from the ESTK, but will miss ESTK's visual enhancement of the code.
There are so many add-ons available to the TextPad user to use, and as many of you have traveled this road already; what are your recommended clip libraries, macros and syntax definitions that would be worthwhile to the aspiring InDesign script writer?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Kelly
PS. Thanks to Theunis (aka Jongware) for making the CHM available to this community!

You're welcome, Kelly!
Personally, I use TextPad "as is", as it already does a great job on syntax highlighting Javascript. Actually I cannot remember if it did this natively, or if I had to download it somewhere -- have been using it for years like this. The only thing I added was a hotkey to the CHM help file (instructions to do so are in TextPad's Help on running external files).
But I'm as curious as you: does anyone else have suggestions to further enhance TextPad?
On the same: on my Mac I use TextWrangler to code. Are there any useful additions for that as well?

What is your recommendation to improve data export time - MaxL?

We have scheduled data export for backup everyday using MaxL and takes 2 hours and would like to decrease it to 30 min or less.
What is your recommendation?
1. Hot back-up
2. Parallel Calc (if possible)
3. Copy DB files on Unix box.
4. ???
Environment 9.3.0.1
Thanks in advance!

Only issue with exporting 0 level data is aggregation. But it is a small inconvenience than taking long to export data that we very rarely need.

Is it true that if you charge your phone on a charger that isn't from apple it will mess up your battery??

You should only use Apple Approved Chargers.

I just bought a used XP Home Edition program that has been installed before. Will I be able to install this again on my computer or is it only a one time use software? I have the Product Key and CD.

I just bought a used XP Home Edition software program that has been installed before. I have the Product Key and installation disc. Will I be able to install it on my own computer? Or, is this software (purchased retail) a one time install? Please advise.

Depends on many things.
If your system is Lion, XP can only be installed under VM. BootCamp in Lion only accepts Windows 7.
As to "one use only", if you are referring to OEM ...
A reinstall can trigger the OS to "not register" because "a major component serial number or MAC (the network MAC chip) address" has changed, according to MS databases.
But you can call MS to get the key reactivated, usually/sometimes. It is worth a try, at least, before spending money on another Windows 7 package. But this discussion should end *now* at "maybe" as it treads close to matters that forum Terms-of-Use would prefer we not discuss.

What is the best epub mac program to annotate with

I want to annotate and mark a epub book on my macbook and I am looking for something better than ibooks. Does anyone have a suggestion? I want to use my macbook when I do a lecture/presentation and so want to have the epub annotated for this. If it sync's with the ipad all the better.

Any pressing reason to use a chat app for file transfer? Since they're both your own machines, simple windows file sharing or FTP will do the job quickly. It's trivial to enable these on the mac.
Go to system preferences -> internet & wireless -> sharing
Enable the file sharing option.
Click the options button to ensure both FTP and SMB are enabled.
You're all set. You can now directly connect to your mac from a windows machine just like you would connect to any other windows network share, or you can use an FTP client.

What´s your recommendation?

I have a Cisco Aironet 350 PCI card and internet connection via a cable from an antenna on my roof. This means that I depend on the computer that has the PCI card installed to gain acces to internet, printers aso from my other computers.
I want to replace my Aironet PCI card with a "stand-alone reciever" so that I can, via a router, connect to internet and printers from all my computers without depending on one machine being switched on all the time. Can you give me some examples of what I can replace my PCI card with??

My iTouch is reading that the date is in the 1800s and will no longer update my "recently purchased" songs or update websites.

Go to Settings>General>Date & Time and correct the times/date. Also, in Settings>General>International make sure the Calendar is set to Gregorian.

What's your strategy for WebService errors that aren't raised through fault handler?

Is there a way to underride the default functionality of
WebService.as? I can't find the source code in the SDK, so I'm
assuming this part of Flex isn't Open Source.
I find that using WebServices that there are a lot of errors
that potentially occur that I can't capture in the UI. Or, let me
rephrase that, that I haven't been able to figure out how to
capture in the UI.
For example, the following "Could not load WSDL" error
occurs. Now, I could probably devise a strategy around checking
that the connection is alive and such, but then I've seen other
errors that occur in the WebService base classes that are all fired
asyncronously.
Is there a way to add a default handler that capures these
types of errors? (They're not captures by FaultHandlers).
I can't have a UI that displays the big white box to end
users with a stack trace. Thanks.

I found out at FlexCOders, that when I'm not using the Debug

What is the most advanced Mac OS that a Canon LiDe 500F will support? How about a CanoScan 3200F?

I don't use scanners a great deal 1-2 times a year so things get ahead of me sometimes. These two scanners (Canon LiDe 500F + CanoScan 3200F) are virtually new and neither will work.
I have 3 computers - I would like either of these scanners to work and any of these machines.
#1 iMac PPC G5 running OS X 10.5.8
#2 iMac 2GHz Intel Core Duo running OS X 10.6.8
#3 MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo running OS X 10.9.5 (this is now a 64 bit machine) Early 2008 4,1 model A1260
I've tried the recommended software from Canon with 0 results
I've downloaded newer Canon software from the same family of machines with 0 results
I've posted in Apple forums and anywhere else I can think of with 0 results.
A point in the correct direction would be greatly appreciated.
This is a Canon family, Canon Printers, EOS cameras, Copiers at work - I enjoy the way Canon does things and can't imagine I've been left behind with 2 nearly new (almost NOS) machines.
Thanks,
Mark

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.
- Then try restoring the iPod.
- If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If Macs "just work"...what's with all the posts??

I've been thinking of making the switch to a 24inch imac...I've been doing alot of research and stumbled across the forums here. I gotta say I was pretty shocked to see the amount of issues people are having and also the amount of people viewing some of these problems. I'm by no means naive enough to think that ALL Macs are perfect and I realize this forum only represents a portion of Mac users, but its making me a little hesitent. I'd hate to spend all that money and end up with a great looking machine that doesn't work...if that were the case, would'nt I just get another PC? Should I be worried about making the switch??
Thanks in advance

Coming here to get an opinion about issues people are having with their Macs is kind of like going to a hospital to concluding that the entire human race is sick.
I have been using Macs a long time and have also am using a Dell PC and have used some other PC"s in the past. I have to say that the Mac operating system just seems to not get in my way as much as Windows, which is what most PC's use. I have also, based on my experiences and not on any empirical data, found that it seems to be much easier for the end user to troubleshoot problems on a Mac, compared to a PC. The Macs do seem to "just work".
I don't know of anyone who has made the switch and regretted it, but I guess it could and probably has happened.
Think about the type of things you do with your computer and the software you use and like and then make sure that whichever type you choose, it meets your needs.
Where I work I have both a Mac and a PC. I have to have the PC to do two things. First to run my security cameras. I could not find a Mac program that would do what I want with the cameras. Second, to run our fueling system. There simply was no Mac equivalent for that function. I do everything else, databases, spreadsheets, etc. on my Mac.

Any outdated Mac Programs on MacBook Pro '09 that I can or should delete to save space?

There are some Mac Programs that came with my late 2009 MacBook Pro that I **think** are outdated / unsupported and I am wondering if I can or should delete them to free up critical space. (I use my MacBook Pro for genealogy files and kids' photos and videos so I often get a critically low on space issue -
like down to 25GB or less out of 250GB).
Some programs I have never really used, but I hate to delete anything that came with the Mac that I might one day have a use for or want if I was to sell it or
trade it, but I think some programs are no longer supported.
Among these that I have questions on are iWork '09, iWeb that I think may no longer be supported. (Never used them anyway really - I have pages and Numbers that may be part of iWork, but I also have the Mac version of Office installed). I have 2 different versions of Pages. I think the old version
(which I had created some documents in) was the old purplish ink jar icon and the newer one looks like a piece of paper with a pencil or pen icon.
I have created files in the old version, but not the new version. Can I safely delete the old icon / app without affecting those old files?
I never used the old version of Numbers or Keynote, so I already deleted the old icons for those.
Others that I am not sure if I need or what came originally with the Mac vs. downloaded later (like from the app store) include:
Apple Script, ArcSoft Connect Suite, Automator, Dashboard, Dictionary, DVD Player, iDVD, iMovie, PanoramaMaker, PhotoBooth, Tech Tool Deluxe,
the Unarchiver, VirusBarrier Express.
GarageBand came with, but I have never used it. Hate to delete it unless I really can't afford it.
To my knowledge, I have never used any of those except perhaps DVD Player or iDVD, whichever one can or does play a movie unless it will play a movie
without either of those.
If any of the above are critical or recommended to keep either for proper functioning in general or to do certain recommended things (like play a DVD and I must have one of the DVD / movie ones in particular), then I need to know that as well as what I can safely delete without either significant issue or
shooting myself in the foot.
I mean, a Dictionary would be nice to have in theory, but probably not at the sacrifice of space because I usually just Google a word for the definition anyway.
Unarchiver is apparently an unzipper, but not sure I have ever used it unless it was seamless and not obvious. Does Mac have some internal unzipper utility
that could be unzipping my files behind the scenes without my being aware of it.
By the same token, if there are any others that I would / should have on my computer that are known to be useless (GameCenter?), please advise as well.
These are the kinds of things I need to know as well as what some of these are / do.
thanks

TS1702 how can i up load a program from my pc to my i pad ? do i first have to upload it to I tunes (its a mac program) or is there a plug in that has a usb on one end and apple plug on th other? i wnat to upload filemaker Pro for Mac to my i pad

Hello guys and thanks for trying to help me. I want to upload Mac programs that i have saved on my pc to my I Pad (the latest one) and do i have to upload it first to I Tunes and then down load it to the ipad and if so how do i do that (upload to i tunes)
Second, is there an Apple adapter ( i have off brand ones fro China that don't work and i was told they would. also one from a company in he US and it doesn't work)
One big question, if i upload (after you tell me how) FileMaker Pro Adv Mac to the I Pad can i create run time solutions from the ipad as if it were a laptop or computer or air book??? becuase that is the main reason i purchased the I Pad.
i really would like to get to use the i pad but don't know the first thing about Macs..
Norman (reach me at [email protected])

No, Mac programs and applications do not run on the iPad. an iPad is not a laptop. It can run only programs designed specifically for it and that are available only through the App Store.
Ipads are geared towards media consumption, not so much creation.
Perhaps what you should have bought is a MacBook Air rather than an iPad. A Macbook Air is a fulll laptop, than runs a full MacOsx and can run File Maker Pro.
