5 Steps in Avoiding Social Media Blackmail

It is very common for people these days to become blackmail victims online. Social media services are not to be blamed but the way they are being used. Here are 5 steps avoiding social media blackmail:If you do not want something to be known avoid putting it online. Do not write your personal thoughts about anybody in your social media account as it is read not only by your friends but others who know their way around the Internet.Avoid uploading pictures of yourself and what valuables you have as it is the easiest way to invite blackmailers, stalkers, hijackers, kidnappers and scammers in your life. You will be easily identified wherever you go.Adjust your social networking so only your friends can see private information about you. Do not post your phone number, mobile number, email address, street address and any personal information in the Internet. You real friends know your phone number and where you live.Avoid communicating with anyone other than legitimate, bonafide friends; at least verify communication from new people. Even in the Internet, do not talk to strangers.If a message looks dubious, delete it. Do not click on links unless you are absolutely sure what they are.Now that you know the risk involved in social networking, you will keep in mind the 5 steps avoiding social media blackmail.

Thanks, other OS X and iOS devices in the house don't have this issue, so I'm not sure the router is the problem.
Did you reboot your router anyway? Your router is responsible for delivering correct settings to each device. It might do ok for some but it could have some problems with other devices.
If after rebooting router problems still appears, try to change DNS's.
Go to System Preferences > Network. If you are using WiFi connection, then select on the left panel Airport connection and then click on Advanced settings. Go to DNS, and add to entries:
Before testing, make sure that you have applied changes.

Problem with Exporting from Bridge CS5 to Social Media sites

Hi Adobe users,
I'm a new French user of CS5 Bridge. My question is :
Is it possible for me to export pictures from Bridge to Social Media Sites like Facebook & Flickr ?
This topic (http://www.tipsquirrel.com/exporting-from-bridge-cs5-to-social-media-sites/) introduce me to exporting files but I haven't got the modules who were necessary for exporting. After, I do a Check For Update, without results. So I have another question :
What are the steps in order to have the necessary modules ?
Thanks Julien BARREAU
Sorry for my bad english.

You can't. The export module (btw gone in Bridge CC) has never worked properly for all social media. The reason they gave was due to rights management in different countries. It only worked in a few countries for Facebook.

OT: Automatic posting to social media

Is anyone here using a Wordpress plugin that will automate the posting of blog additions/posts to social media?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

Using Automator for Social Media

Hi,
I would like to use Automator to schedule social media posts (links/articles) on a daily basis on 4 different platforms. Is this possible?
If you have tried or are using this method, or would like to please get back to me.
Would be a great way to avoid external software permissions and do it all privately and all for FREE.
With reports and metrics. This may require some Apple Script. I am trying to do what Hootsuite does.
I can probably execute 50%, but would need an Apple developer's expertise to seal it all.
Thank you for your time and effort.
Kind regards,
Brigitte.

you don't need automator for this. go to finder preferences->general and check the box to show connected servers on the desktop. then just connect to the remote computers and then drag the mounted volumes from the desktop to your login items in system preferences->accounts->login items. then when you log in the remote computers will be automatically mounted. you can also use a cloud storage solution like Mobileme or DropBox and store the password database file in a central online location.

Splitting iPhoto library and social media

Greetings,
I am in the process of breaking up my gargantuan iPhoto library into smaller libraries, by year (this scheme works perfectly fine for me). However, I ran into a problem last night which I would like not to repeat. Starting with all of the photos from 2013, I had exported all of them out of iPhoto.photolibrary into folders on my desktop. Then, I had created "2013 iPhoto Library" and mass-imported all the files from the desktop. When I was satisfied that I had everything I wanted, I both securely deleted the desktop files and also the albums from within iPhoto. However, when I started doing the latter, they began removing themselves from Facebook. It makes sense, but it's an undesirable side effect.
Since I plan on doing this reorganization at the end of each year, I obviously don't want to keep this from happening, i.e. I'd like to leave my albums which take me a great amount of time to put together for sharing on Facebook in place so that they don't get removed. My proposed solution is something like the following:
1. Continue the process all the way back to 2005 and before (since I hate to have a disconnect with last year's albums gone but none of the others deleted, I might as well delete them all from my Facebook).
2. Leave 2014's photos in "iPhoto Library" (thus leaving my photos still connected to my Facebook albums.
3. When 2015 rolls around, rename "iPhoto Library" to "2014 iPhoto Library" and create a new "iPhoto Library" (hoping such a name change is permissible).
4. Repeat 2. and 3. every year.
Can anyone tell me if this is a recommended solution, or if this will/won't work? My main concern is that "iPhoto Library" is somehow special and has to be left as-is, i.e. I can't rename it, or have a new file called "iPhoto Library" which might corrupt something
Thanks,
Mike

The Social Media albums are attached to the library that created them. So step 2 works. Yes you can rename libraries.
The way you're splitting the Library destroys the non-destructive editing feature of iPhoto and, depending on a: what you've done in iPhoto and b: the exact export settings you are using, risks significant dataloss. If you must split the library (and deal with all those inconveniences) use iPhoto Library Manager to do it, and preserve all your versions and data.
For the sake of others who may read this: iPhoto can only open or search one Library at a time. That's just one of the inconveniences of multiple libraries. An iPhoto Library can contain up to 1,000,000 million items

Firefox redirects to social media search on Google because McAfee blocks it at my instruction

We have regularly updated Firefox on Windows Vista, with McAfee provided by our ISP (BT, a UK telecoms ISP). Because of our young children, and my dislike of having to be wired into every little thing, social media is generally disallowed, except that I have basic Facebook enabled to contact our daughter at university. Chat is turned off permanently. I don't Twitter or any other social media.
Quite a few months ago we went through a spate of faults where a webpage would load, and within seconds redirect to a Google search based on (at that time) a Facebook search. The exact search seemed to depend on hidden criteria within the stream that the Facebook app was trying to access. Then it stopped for a while. I assumed that my tweaking the McAfee to block social media and allow Facebook had improved matters.
Today the problem has resumed, but this time it's Twitter that's playing up. I got several redirections from pages for the "Uplifting" TV Channel (redirected from a friend's Facebook link) to a Google search for "https://twitter.com/i/jo" with results like:

This happens within 2 or 3 seconds of the page loading, and if I back-button, it just redirects over and over again.
How can I block the social media so that Firefox does not treat it as a Google redirection?
Incidentally - your system knows me under my true email. But it refuses to allow me access despite 2 password resets. I've had to create disposable email and a slightly different name to register this question.
Please be patient with me if I can't respond straight away to a request for further information. I've got some very complex situations going on which are not made much easier by the end of the summer holidays and the start of school in 8 days... The internet isn't _always_ the first thing on my mind ;) But thank you for being there for me to ask you :)

Most sites wouldn't redirect you away, so I'm suspicious that it could be due to one of your add-ons.
Could you try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons on these two tabs:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category<br>
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
If a link to restart Firefox appears above one of the disabled extensions, go ahead and click that as the last step. Any change?
Also, sorry about the forum problems. Not sure what is going on there.

Aligning social media icons on a page (Was:Need Div help, please.)

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out the best way to get the social media icons on the right side in a row, side by side, no space between.
Can I use a div?
Problem is now is that depending on monitor/screen size, the spacing changes.
Again, I want to have them all together with no spacing, centered on the right at all times.
http://www.saintleo.edu/SocialMediaSliders/Kathryn-JK.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
JK

Yes, I took a look at the website. I saw that they were sliders.
It's hard for me to answer if putting an unordered list will hurt your code. The code that you have is not indented so it's extremely hard to read.
I would try putting the image in the <li> first. Make a backup of the page if you're nervous, and work on the backup. So your current content is live, and your backup can be toyed with until you have it right.
Also:
If using an unordered list scares you, there is an alternative which may work. I will use #twitter_right img as an example.
You are using absolute positioning. There is no reason to do this and I'm under the impression that absolute positioning should be avoided.
Your current CSS Rules for this are as follows:
#twitter_right img {
     left: -52px;
     position:absolute;
     top: 45px;
Instead, it should be:
#twitter_right img {
     float:right;
     margin-top:45px;
Now, if you wanted to get fancy you could do this: (The CSS Identifiers are not accurate... just showing you an exmple)
#twitter_right img, #facebook_right img, #youtube_right img {
     float:right;
     margin-bottom:45px; -- this is could also be padding. Set this value to the height of the image if you don't want spacing.
That way, when the slider moves out, the icon will move with it. Additionally, the spacing would be equal across the board.

Help with Facebook and Social Media wigets (Was: How do I fix the three probs that...)

I am having problems with the facebook or social media widgets. I would like the link to send viewers to my facebook business page, but when testing it shows my pic and a 'switch' sign (see screen shot) and when I open the site the message is as the other screenshot, great, but I don't know where to find which 'asset' is the problem and why. Also why bother having child pages if the menu doesn't reflect that? I see that drop down menus are an issue, also with some other forum members.
Thanks for any help offered!, I think I have solved the first problem now but still would appreciate any help with the other 2!
For some reason the facebook widget now loads the correct page, and I give up about the drop down menu, hopefully this will be addressed in the next update of Muse??

Hello,
For the "asset" issue, try locating the asset in the assets panel. It should have an icon like this: http://jingsite.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2013-12-16_0917.png
For the child pages in the menus issue, go to the menu options (by clicking the small blue arrow in the right top corner of the menu), and then change the menu type to "All Pages" instead of "Top Level Pages".
Hope this helps.
Cheers

How can I add social media icons to my email signature in thunderbird?

Hi there,
I have already a signature with my logo but I would also like to add some social media icons.
Do you know how can I do that?
Thanks
K.

"a signature with my logo" - please explain.
If I wanted a signature with a logo, I'd create an HTML document containing text and an embedded image. Adding, for example, facebook and twitter icons would be done in just the same way, by embedding their icons into the same HTML signature document.
What's stopping you just adding more graphics?

How can i log out from my social media from a distance because my iPod got stolen and i don't want anyone hacking my accounts

how do i log out of my social media from a distance because my ipod got stolen and i dont want any one hacking in to my account??

Change your password.

I need to find out how to contact upeer management to try and resolve an issue before I open a complaint with the Attorney Generals Office as well as the Better Business Bureau and social media.

I have been with Verizon for 15 years. I have a family share plan with 2 smart phones a standard phone and a jetpack for wireless access. I pay for insurance on the 2 smartphones. Approximately a year ago I made a payment arrangement to continue service on my account even though I had some business difficulties. I was told that while the arrangement was in place I could not make any changes to my account. However, since then I have had the following issues and when I try and contact Verizon to try and resolve them I am place on eternal hold or disconnected.
Issue #1: My daughter lost her phone in June 2014. (The contract on this phone was up in 2013) I have been told that I cannot replace the phone even though I pay the insurance premium of $9.95 a month. I have been billed for it and have also been charged $54.87 for the monthly service as well. The phone has not made or received a call since June 4, 2014 yet I have been charged $274.38 I just was able to have the service suspended at the store today, 11/29/2014
Issue #2 My phone has intermittent flaws, locking up and reuring rests, dropping calls, failing to receive calls etc along with horrible battery life. I went into the local verizon store and they ordered me a refurbished replacement phone which was subsequently sent to me. When I received it I took it to the store to have them assist me in setting it up properly. I was told that I should NOT set it up but send it back due to some physical damage present on my old phone that would most likely result in a $150 charge...it was recommended that I just upgrade my phones as they were all out of contract and that would be the best solution. I asked the manager if that would be possible due to the "terms" on my account and she said "it would not be a problem". I was interested in an Iphone 6 which was not in stock so I sent the replacement phone back and left, to wait for the phone to become available.
Issue #3 I had a JetPack that was recently stolen from my car. I stopped in to ask what to do about it (it is no longer under contract either) They suspended the service and recomended I wait until I upgraded my other phones and then get a new Jet Pack. I just received noticed that they were going to continue billing me for it this week, even though it has been out of contract for several months??????
I recently went to Best Buy to take advantage of their Black Friday deals and was told that based on the status of my account I was ineligible for any upgrades. We called Verizon from the Best Buy and they told me that I needed to address my account status (I just made the scheduled payment on the 23rd of Nov) either with Financial Services or go to a Corporate Store. I went to the store and was told there was nothing that could be done at that level, I would need to talk to financial services (which was closed)
So, I am extremely frustrated and upset with this whole situation and wanted to make one more attempt to resolve it with Verizon before I make a full blown complaint to the Attorney Generals Office, the Better Business Bureau as well as post this incredibly BAD customer service story on social media. I hope that I hear from someone ASAP as this is critical that I get things resolved immediately. I can be reached at [removed].

Complain to the Attorney General about what? There is nothing in your story worth any such complaint. They will tell you the same.
First you have payment difficulty so credit and the Edge program are not available to you. You have to be credit worthy to get any upgrade, unless you can pay full price for all those new devices.
Can you?
You are trying to get new contract plans, but since you are having paying on time and in full issues you will not get extended credit from any carrier.
What I would do is go and port out to Boost or Virgin Mobile where you pay a reduced cost for each device and get unlimited everything for $40 to $50 a month, it is pre pay so if you don't pay you get cut off.
Verizon although with the best coverage is also the highest priced.
Good Luck

How can I create a website that allows me to share articles across social media websites?

Im looking to share articles across social media websites. I want my team to be able to create articles on my site and share the articles across the internet. here are two expamples:
http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalmarketing/social-media/
http://www.leafly.com/news
What adobe programs should i use?
Any templetes out there that can help?
What sould my workflow look like?
Thank you for any and all help:)

If you're a web developer, then you already know what apps to use.
If you're a designer (like me) then Muse CC is your weapon of choice.
One simple strategy would be to create your web site, include all the articles you want to distribute, then link to each specific article/web page from your pages on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Unfortunately, there isn't a manual for Muse, so you need to watch videos: http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-adobe-muse-cc/
YouTube is also your good friend when it comes to learning Muse.
Good luck.

How can I keep an intact image (w/ social media, for example) while I scroll the text to read the whole article of the magazine?

Hey, people.
I am using InDesign to build a magazine's App for iPad. See more info here: http://www.creativebloq.com/creative-cloud/how-adobe-dps-makes-digital-publishing-easy-101 34998
When I open an article, I scroll the text to keep reading it. Unfortunately, the social media stuff, which was in the left side of the screen, isn't seen anymore. I want this social media stuff to go along with text. An example is the New Yorker's App, whose image is below. Please, let me know how I can manage this using only InDesign. Thank you.

Moved to DPS forum.
You'll need to group that info with the rest of the text if you want it to move along with it.
