    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

    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 the DownLite developer 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 is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • I have a 2011 mini that won't power up. The apple on screen comes onn then turns into a circle with a line in it. Any way to fix it?

    I have a 2011 mini that won't power up. The apple on screen comes onn then turns into a circle with a line in it. Any way to fix it? It is running Mavericks on a 1T drive.

    First thing, see if it will boot into the Recovery Partition: Hold down Command R at restart.
    If it boots up there, then it's likely that the hard drive has failed, or simply doesn't have a working system.
    If it doesn't boot up there, then it's likely to be some other part of the hardware.
    If it is the hard drive, then this can be replaced. You can find videos showing you how to do this on sites like ifixit.com.
    Then you can just restore all your data from your backup. You do have a backup, right?

    What do you see when you connect an external display to the SVGA port.  This sould tell you if it is the display panel or the motherboard.  

  • How do I open my old Appleworks documents which have turned into Unix Executable Files?  I would like to convert them into Pages documents.

    How do I open my old Appleworks documents which have turned into Unix Executable Files?  I would like to convert them into Pages documents.  I also have old Word Perfect documents which have become similarly unopenable.

    Best bet might be to try opening them using LibreOffice [free] and save them to .doc.
    Do you really want to save them as .pages files? You are jumping from the frypan into the fire. Yet another proprietary format that Apple has again deadended with no working translation.

  • The apple on the gray start-up screen turns into a circle with a slash.

    My G5 has been pretty reliable for the past three (?) years. Lately it's been a bit squirrely booting up--once it went into kernel panic during boot, but powering down and restarting seemed to fix that. Lately, too, when I let the machine run and it goes to sleep I'll come back after a couple of hours to find the fan running at top speed and the machine unresponsive. Yesterday it seemed to have problems booting so I reset the PRAM and NVRAM and ran Onyx and it worked fine all day. This morning when I went to boot, I got the usual gray screen with the whirling gear. After about a minute, the apple in the center of the screen turned into a circle with a slash while the gear continued to whirl. How do I fix this?

    I've subsequently tried a number of things. I reset the SMU, which didn't help until I also reset the PRAM. Computer booted normally. I rebooted from the Tiger DVD and repaired the start up disk; there were only two small errors to be fixed. The machine booted normally (and pretty quickly) for about a week before the problem resurfaced. I again went through the first two steps and got things working once more.
    Lately the problem has returned. First, resetting the PRAM didn't help; only resetting the SMU worked. At the last event I needed to reset the PRAM without resetting the SMU. When I get home tonight I'll try booting from the DVD and repairing the permissions on the start up drive.
    At first, I thought I'd leave it running all night, but when I got to the office in the morning the fans were running at full throttle and the machine was in a coma. All I could do was reboot--which it did, immediately going into kernel panic. I shut it down and rebooted, resetting the PRAM in the process. The computer booted and ran fine all day, although it seems slow (I did have Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom running simultaneously, but I do have 5 GB of RAM).
    It's been suggested I may have a corrupt RAM chip (computer doesn't chirp at me, as I'm told it would) or, more terrifying, a processor is about to check out. I also have an ATTO SCSI card in this to run a legacy scanner. Could that be a problem?
    Any advice?

  • My iphone 4 screen turns into blue, and i can't do anything because my power button is broken. How to fix my iphone back? Please help me

    my iphone 4 screen turns into blue, and i can't do anything because my power button is broken. How to fix my iphone back? Please help me

    I am having the SAME exact problem! Except instead of lock button broken it's my home button so I can't do the whole "put in recovery mode" deal. My screen only says "tap the home button 3 times" and it has my screen locked until I hit the home button but since it is broken I can't get in my phone at all. I have all of my work info in my phone so I'm screwed and can't get any help. PLEASE let me know if you find a way around this...!!!
    Thanks!

  • Ibook that will not boot (apple turns into a circle with....

    my ibook was clicking the other night. it has already been through the logic board recall. this appears to be the hard drive. after tech tool pro, the disk utilities, etc., and all of the alternate startup sequences, i now have an apple that turned into a circle with a slash through it (a do not allow type of symbol). i bought a new drive today and after reading many forums today, i am wondering if there is a recall, warranty or if i should send it in the my local store to get fixed or just do it myself tonight. any advice anyone?

    Well, since I don't know your level of expertise, it's hard to advise you. Take a look at the online instructions:

  • Imac's screen turn into blue screen

    I bought my iMac @ July 2008, the imac running just fine.....but some how since last month, my mac will suddenly turn into blue screen for couple seconds then turn it back to normal ....
    I tried to format the iMac , Blue screen problem still access .....
    Can some one tell me what should I do to fix this problem ???

    HI Brian and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    You tried to reformat the iMac without success? Did you boot from the restore disk and verify the disk for errors first? If not...
    Restart your Mac while holding down the C key, pressing the power button and inserting your restore disk all at the same time. An Installer window will open, but do not proceed with any installations. Instead, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities > Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility window click First Aid, and then click Verify. If Disk Utility reports errors, click Repair. When Disk Utility is finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
    To check your hard disk’s S.M.A.R.T. status: Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.Select the disk in the list at the left, and look at the bottom of the window for a field named “S.M.A.R.T. Status.” Make certain it says; Verified If not, there's a problem with the boot disk.
    If Disk Utility reports errors it cannot fix, you have several options. You can get DiskWarrior or TechToolPro to repair the directory. The other option is to locate an Apple store or an Apple certified repair shop.
    You can also use Disk Utility to check to see how much free space there is. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x on the left of the window, then look at the bottom of the DU window. The Capacity and Available disk space will be displayed there. Never allow the free disk space to fall below 10%, 15% is better. Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.

  • Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection turns into blue screen while installing disc #2

    I purchased a windows version of Adobe in Sep this year.
    I have tried more than 4 times, but still can't install the software.
    My laptop turns into blue screen and restarts itself after the system tells me to insert second disc to continue the installation process.
    I had the extact same version of Adobe installed on this computer before, but I can't seem to install the software again after recovered my computer.
    computer spec:
    Win7 Home Premium
    Service Pack 1
    i5-2410 @ 2.30GHz
    64 bits
    8GB RAM
    500GB SATA
    Thank you so much and appreciated if anyone or the actual Adobe tech can solve my problem.

    Hi Mylenium,
    Thank you for taking the time to read over and answer my question.
    However, I don't think this is a driver issue. I actaully had the following softwares installed from the disc--- Adobe Audition CS5.5, Adobe Bridge CS5.1, Adobe Device Central CS5.5, Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5.5, Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5, Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5, Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.6, Mocha for After Effects CS5.5, Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, Adobe Acrobat Distiller X, Adobe Content Viewer, and Adobe Widget Browser.
    Before the installation process started, I chose to install everything that's on the disc.
    But I can't get the softwares that I really need such as photoshop, after effect, indesign, illustrator, and so on.
    Again, thank you for your help,
    Kevin

  • Screen turns into blue when i upgrade the software for iphone 5s

    screen turns into blue when i upgrade the software for iphone 5s

    There's way too much blue in that green screen
    This is green
    Try pulling down the spill level and reducing the spill tint. You're probably going to have to tweak the color selection manually.

  • System stops working pointer turns into a circle and starts again

    My system slows down as the mouse cursor turns into a circle from time to time and then starts working again. Things become pretty slow. Shut down and start takes a long long time.

    That can indicate a too-full hard drive. Highlight your hard drive's icon and then do "Get Info..." from the Finder's "File" menu. That will look something like this:
    "Available" needs to be about 20MB or 15 percent of "Capacity," whichever is greater. If the drive is too full, this article will help you regain space:

    Reset the device:

  • My "Documents" icon in the dock has turned into a question mark.

    On my MacBook Air my documents icon has disappeared and turned into a question mark. The icons have also disappeared within my Documents folder and some of the applications folders. Where did they go and how can I get them back?

    Where they went is a good question, and not one we can answer without a lot more information.  However, the Dock is pretty resilient at finding things like this if they are accidentally moved into another folder.  So, unfortunately, I'd have to guess that it has been deleted.  If that is the case, your question about getting them back can only be answered with another question: do you have backups?
