Adware - does it exist on a Mac? - Too many junk messages

I'm trying to find out if it's possible that adware exists on a mac. It seems as though if I leave Mail open, I get an influx of junk messages. How do I find out if this nasty thing exists? How do you get rid of it?

I have three accounts in "Mail". My main source of mail is with my Mac Account. My two other accounts are: One with my ISP (Bresnan Cable), and the other is with gmail.
I have never gotten junk (spam) in my Mac Account or my gmail account. I used to get about thirty or more junk messages every day in my ISP Account until I went to their web mail site and I changed my preferences to "only accept mail from a list". A list that I made from my address book and previous recipients. Now, I do NOT get any junk mail - fingers crossed!
A suggestion: Do not fill out surveys on the internet! That usually starts a chain reaction of spam.

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

How do I reset the number of activations on Visio 2003 after getting a "too many activations" message?

I just installed Visio 2003 on a PC, and got the "we can't activate this app via the internet because you've installed it too many times" message. I went back to phone activation, but, of course, that's no longer available for this product.
How do I get the number of activations reset? Apparently you used to be able to do this by calling Microsoft, but what's the number to call? Or is there another way to do it?
I'm probably going to need to do it for my copy of Office 2003 also.

Hi,
Microsoft has ended support for Office 2003 on April 8, 2014. This change will affect your software updates and security options.
Please contact your local customer service. Explain to the service (Human being) that you can’t activate Visio 2003 and the error message is “we can't
activate this app via the internet because you've installed it too many times”.
You can find
your local custom support number on the link below.http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers/en-us
Hope it can be helpful.

I can no longer type messages. I have tried deleting to see if I have too many saves messages. That did not help. I also cut off the phone and turned back on. That did not help. Ideas?

IChat Leopard "attempted to login too many times" message

I'm getting the "attempted to login too many times" message when I try to use AIM on ichat. I tried switching to 443, but no luck. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

You can wait until iChatAgent disappears for the Activity Monitor before deleting the .plists
I am not sure why it will not let you Force Quit or rather confirm a Force Quit.

'Sorry, Too Many Cards' message NOT rendering correctly

I'm seeing the 'Sorry, Too Many Cards' message not render properly for me on Palm Pre 1.3.1. I rebooted the phone and was able to reproduce the problem by opening up many cards. I have uploded a screenshot: http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/6525/browser20091511171212.png
As you can see, the 'OK' button is not rendered correctly. If I remember correctly it supposed to be a green button? Also, the right side box is supposed to have an icon or something. I've never seen this error message NOT rendered properly before 1.3.1.
BTW, like others have posted - once I get to a memory threshold I can't even open up core apps - like 'Device Info' (in case I needed to reboot the phone). I would have expected some high availability on these apps w/r/t memory management.
I would upload more debugging information if I knew how on the Pre. But like I said I was able to reproduce on 1.3.1 before and after a reboot.
Thanks,

I'm having the same problem. Usually I will have Tweed open along with the Camera app. I try to send a photo by email and I get the "too many cards open message". Sometimes when I turn the screen off and turn it back on it fixes it. But today I only had the Photo app open and was trying to send a photo by email and i got the "too many cards open message". The same happens when I only have one program like the emailapp then click on a link. Right now I have NO apps open. I'm trying to open the camera app and it keeps giving me the warning. It's very annoying, especailly when you are trying to do some quick. Oh don't get me started on the the slowness of the system ...

List Does not Exist (only on mac)

So I've tried trouble shooting this through any permissions and I've narrowed it down to one thing. Mac... I've tested (internally) creating events and creating tasks and what not on a PC and it works fine for the user. I have then tested the same user
on multiple macs and have not been able to create tasks and calendars I keep getting this error message "List does not exist. The page you selected contains
a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user." But the only "solution" I've seen has been links to this blog... http://blogs.msdn.com/b/opal/archive/2010/11/13/sharepoint-2010-on-a-mac-with-office-for-mac-2011.aspx which...
*spoiler alert* doesn't solve anything, it merely states the features you can and cannot do on a mac. So I'm open to suggestions. Also I've tested in Chrome and Safari and the same issue happens.

Since no one answered this and I found the issue I will post it here. First, when trying to login to the <server name>:<port number>/<site name> it wasn't working for macs. I opened the port number on my modem/router and it started working.
The issue where you get the list does not exist is when you use the server's internal IP address. It goes to the site like normal but for whatever reason doesn't let you use it properly. So to reiterate make sure you have opened the port that your connecting
your sharepoint site to, and make sure your using the actual name of the server not its IP address.

What can I do when Safari does not open a website? I get a "too many redirects" message.

Safari can not open a website on my iPad. (www.rci.com) Message received is: "Cannot open. Too many redirects." What should I do?

"Too Many Cards" message

I didn't really know for sure which section of this forum to post this problem, so hopefully this is close.
I keep getting the error message "Sorry, Too Many Cards. Please toss away any you're not using... etc." even though there are no cards open, and it has been a problem for several days.
It's a big problem because it won't let me download updates, view the internet, or even make calls sometimes.
Sometimes it fixes itself when I turn the phone on and off, but sometimes it goes on for up to an hour and it's very annoying.
I'd appreciate any feedback that might help me with this bizarre problem!
Thanks!

Hopefully this isn't a silly question, but by "turn my phone on and off" do you mean just hit the power button put the phone to sleep and then hit it again to wake it up? If so, then you need to reboot the phone. That will solve the problem, at least until you've opened enough of the right apps for the problem to occur again.

Is an external hard drive the best way to keep tons of photos and songs, or does it slow down the mac too much to retrieve it?

I have an old Macbook that has a bunch of pictures and songs on it, but few videos. What I do have is slowing it down, particularly iPhoto - I sometimes have trouble editing pictures because the RAM just isn't there (I have it maxed out at 2gb), or even organizing them. I have thought of moving my pictures off the mac onto a hard-wired external drive, but have been told it makes mounting iPhoto even slower to do so. What do people do that have many thousands of pictures?

Install software such as Paragon NTFS. Regardless of the method you use, back the data up; that drive may fail at any time.

IPod Pref Pane in iTune 7.0.1 Does Not Work - Do I have too many playlists?

I'd love to be able to submit a screen shot of this. When I connect my iPod (4G, 3G and Nano), the iPod Preference Pane pops up. I have 50,000 songs in my iTunes library and about 3,000 playlists so I always use the "selected playlists" option. What happens, though, when I click the Music tab is that the new screnn only partially paints and none of the select or radio buttons work. If I then select a different tab, the text for it is painted on top of the previous tab.
Bottom line is that I can't change which playlists are going to be updated on my iPod. I've sent a note to Apple about this but, so far, no response.
G5 1.8Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.1)

My PC worked great with iTunes 6, does that require Terminal Services?
hmmmm. i only know of this as being an issue with the iTunes 7.0.x versions. (my guess here is that some of the new functionality that comes with 7.0.x requires Terminal Services ... but i have no idea what functions in particular those would be.)
i guess it's plausible that if you've got some disk damage around the dll, that might interfere with the attempts to replace or reregister it.
if you run a chkdsk over your C: does that find/repair any damage? if so, do you get Terminal Services showing up?

Photosmart 2575 all-in-one,does not print, the paper rolls too far, jam message

When I try to print or copy, the printer takes a sheet but it doesn't stop where it normally stops to start printing. After that nothing happens, only got a jam message

Hello Mr. Wilks,
I am sorry to read about the issue you are having with your new Photosmart 6520 not picking up 4x6 paper. I understand you have cleaned the rollers and that did not resolve the problem. I have researched this and have found a couple of documents that I recommend you look at to ensure all of the print settings are correct when printing on a 4x6 or any other size you wish to print on.
I am unsure if you have a Windows or a Mac computer, therefore I will post 2 different links for you to look at depending on which operating system you have.
Here is the document for troubleshooting on Windows: Printing Photos Saved on Your Windows Computer
Here is the document for troubleshooting on a Mac: Print Photos Saved on Your Computer (Mac)
I really hope this helps you, feel free to respond if there is anything else I can help with!
Regards,
