A "MacKeeper" screen popped us and said we should clean our Mac - safe or not?
Am alert screen popped up and instructed me to clean our Mac with "MacKeeper". I closed it out not knowing what it was. Is is some sort of spam or does anyone know if it is safe?
MacKeeper is technically not what I would consider malware, but it's so close to malware I'd call it equivalent. See Beware MacKeeper.

My iPod touch screen says it is disabled. Connect to iTunes. When I connect the device to the computer a window pops up and said that the iPod is locked and I need to enter the passcode on the iPod..... I can't get it to do anything. Any ideas?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

All of these steps were followed corectly. But a warning popped up and said that it could not be restored because it is locked with a pascode, and it said we must enter a pascode before we can use it with itunes. What should I do?

Just recently I noticed that several of the movies I have purchased from Itune no longer will open and a screen pops up and ask if I would like to locate the file. I can however open all of them in my newly set up AppleTV, so I am confused as to "where are they?"
Hi Paddy...
Try re downloading the movies. You won't be charged again.

When I click on the icon for firefox, a little toolbar (the one you see in the top right corner of the screen) pops up and nothing else happens. I'll close it out and retry, with only the same results. I tried Firefox safemode, with the same result. Like there is something blocking me, but I don't know what. It doesn't matter if I've been on the computer for some time or just started up, I cannot access the web thru Firefox. This has only started in the last couple days. Previously, I've never had this problem. I haven't loaded any new programs anytime recently to account for this. I use Norton for my anti virus program which is the newest and had since end of December. I am not happy having to use the windows internet explorer, so would be very happy to get this resolved. Should I uninstall the mozilla program, and then reinstall it?
"I have an ethernet cable in port 1 on my computer. That is configured manually to access ther office network."
Do you have a "real" IP address or a private (192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 172.x.x.x) IP address?
"The wireless router was connected to the company server only for the purpose of getting me online through Airport because I couldn't access it using an ethernet connection"
Could not access it because their network security blocked you by intent, or had some unknown technical difficulty?
Unless you are blocked by intent or ommission (if they have to explicitly allow your machine) I can think of no technical reason why your wired connection should not both get you on their network and on the internet in general. You should not need to be dual homed (though dual homing should work as well).
Please answer the questions above when you can - I think solving the wired LAN issue will be easier if you are not being intentionally blocked. -
While synching my iPhone, a box popped up and said that so many of my contacts are going to change. That happened before and my contacts and my wifes contacts ended up in each others phones. So we just had to go through and delete the ones we didnt want. When I did it this time, half of my contacts are gone and I have all of my wifes. Any way I can get my contacts back?
You should have been sycning them with your computer all along. Sync them from your computer back to the iphone.

I tried updating to iOS 8.1 but it have the apple symbol and a blue screen pops up and it restarts the process and its been going on about 3 weeks already. I dont know what to do? Is my iPad broke cause I just got that iPad in August.
Hi You may have a hardware fault take ipad to Apple Store. Ring then first to make an Appointment take box and you purchase paperwork they may give you A replacement. Before you do that Try a Reboot hold down power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you may need to hold down for up to 30 Seconds But you may need to do this more than once. If it doesn't work take back to Apple Store. Cheers Brian

When I try to connect to a WiFi network that I need a screen pops up and says "The network you're attempting to join requires you to install a profile on your Apple TV." What does this mean?
Yes, home sharing requires both to be on the same wifi network. As it stands access to the network requires the login via webpage, which cannot be done on Apple TV. You will need to speak to IT in order to grant access for the device.

Iphone screen popped out and glass broke. wont turn on
My iphone 4s screen popped out and the glass broke in one corner. Wont turn on. Can this be repaired?
do they replace it with the iphone 4s? I am 2 months shy of a verizon upgrade when I could get a more up to date phone. SO I would prefer a more current phone and 149 seems steep as an intermediary solution. Any advice

When trying to transfer my purchases on my phone to my computer, I went to file>devices>transfer purchases, and said I have done so. But if I try to update my iphone a box pops up and says I should still transfer my purchased items first. But I already have, am I doing something wrong?
No, just a reminder that you should do so beforehand, which you have already done.

How can I remove viruses off my computer? I have mac OS X, but I clicked on a website on google and it didn't open. Instead the security program popped up and said that my computer is at risk of a crash and has detected several viruses!?!?! AAAAHHH!?!?!
MnM
It's probably the MacDefender scareware trojan horse. If you have this here is how to remove it.
1. Open Activity Monitor look for MacDefender process double click on it and hit quit or force quit.
2. Go to System Preferences, Go to accounts, Go to login items look for anything related to MacDefender hightlight it by clcking on it once. Then hit the minus sign to remove it.
3. Go to applications folder and drag MacDefender to the trash.
4. Open finder and do a search for Macdefender and remove anything you see related to MacDefender.
5. Open Spotlight (the little magnyfing glass in the menubar far right corner) and do a search for MacDefender.
6. Restart your computer and empty trash.
7. If you feel you need to have virus protection for your Mac use ClamXav. It's the recommended AV program for MacOSX. Hope this helps.
