The Color Sync Utility is part of OSX and usually resides in the Application/Utilities folder.
Don't know how it appeared on your desktop.
But it is no malware, spyware or the like but as said part of OSX.

HT1212 my ipod is disabled i tried what it said but it didnt work what do i do?
my ipod is disabled i tried what it said but it didnt work what do i do?
Disabled
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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
I just want to ask if there is any way i can fix my ipod touch 4G from watar damage and i dont think that a larg amount of water have entered and the ipod isnt working at all and i tried charging it but it didnt work so please help me, and thankyou.
Probably dead if you have tried to charge it.
You should never try to charge or turn on a wet electronic device.
You should let it dry for a week or so, then try. -

I have downloaded Windows 8 on my Mac Pro 13'' retina display. The first few hours everything worked fine until I open windows today and the trackpad/mouse and keyboard aren't working. Ive tried resetting windows but it didnt work. help appreciated thanks
It sounds like it is time to restore from the backups you made just before making the disk changes.
You can re-partition and restore your backups. If you didn't make backups first (you were warned that it might damage things and to make sure you had a good backup) then you will need to repartition everything and reinstall from scratch... -
A Home Group icon has appeared on my desktop, why?
I noticed today that there is a new icon on my desktop, called Home Group(or something like that, because my operation system is in Dutch, so it appears as Thuisgroep). I cannot remove this icon because it's not like the other shortcuts and I don't know how it appeared there. Is it because of an update of the system? I don't use the home group for now so ... I don't really need it there. Any ideas? Thanks!
Alexandra.Unexpected "Homegroup" icon is a hot topic. We see that "just click on leave homegroup" solution in several dot com forums. Unfortunately, for most forum visitors there is no "leave homegroup" while there is the
desktop "Homegroup" icon. IMPORTANTLY, this Homegroup 'icon' is very misbehaved! Try and move it and it goes nowhere: it is locked in place, regardless of desktop settings, and it cannot be deleted.
Perhaps enlightening, Media Center 'black screens' and otherwise corrupts Windows 8 desktops and display adapter handles (and concurrently hangs dxdiag.exe on large-memory boards). Homegroup may simply be another NOT READY Microsoft
feature (fortunately not hawked at $10 a crack, like the MC).
Back to topic, Intel.com forum posters mostly do not see any Leave Homegroup anywhere in the simple Homegroup Open dialog, nor in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Homegroup and all its 'offshoots [sic]'.
Further enlightenment, it is a fact that a joint Pentagon-FBI task force asserts that 1 in 3 computers has been maliciously attacked by "unfriendly alien governments". Now, only yesterday we tasked a Microsoft.com driver download page that had
hoaxed over 180,000 'drivers-NOT' onto unsuspecting regional desktops. Is the same thing happening for every other Microsoft Hardware download item? Well, it could be this misbehaving Homegroup icon is an "unfriendly" feature, something one
might intelligently expect in a nation that has been constantly at war for almost 70 years. This protracted colonial war effort has now conscripted Microsoft to program murder technology (sorry if the 'm' word is overly sensitizing, but universally massive
doses of murder may explain 'unfriendly' in an 'expected' context). Tuit, these general matters may be slipping beyond the scope of civil forum enquiry.
Back to topic one last time for this post, THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED! It seems to be hooking into the edge of compounding systemic OS flaws. FYI, we haven't got past Microsoft Help Desk (usually a receptionist in a friendly Asian state) to any
Microsoft development team for over two months. So there's some hard facts for you to chew on... but what would be really nice is a Microsoft sponsored 1-2-3 method to lose the obviously corrupt icon repeatedly installed by Microsoft Windows Update on this
posting stand-alone (aka NOT groupie) machine.

Hi fellow applers!
what is the accurate process of Iphone 4 calibration because few important alphabets
and numbers in my phone keypad dont work anymore and i read so many ways to calibrate including "erase all settings and contents"
or
'reset' by phone which i tried but hasnt worked.
Ive been told that sometimes if calibration doesnt help set things right then we have to
remove the iphone's upper case and set the digitizer underneath or something like that?
is it true? how do we do it?today i took it to istyle and tried a new baterry but they said that it didnt turn on
but i bought a new original usb cable the before cable which i used was a cheap usb it can connect many phones
the story is that when i connect the iphone to the computer with the cheap cable it gives a sound of connection
but when i connect it with the original usb cable no connection happened -
I've clicked the "Download" link several times and the only thing that apparently happens is a little blue blip zipping toward the upper right corner of the screen. The icon to move into "Applications" never appears.
Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

completely remove itunes... i re downloaded after that and itunes is up and running (currently listening to music) however i now have no way to sync my iphone to the pc... i first tried using wifi sync, but the phone said the "pc was unavailble" and the sync button was greyed out. i then plugged the iphone directly into the computer via a apple usb 30 pin connector. Nothing. The computer recognizes the iphone in "my computer" and i can access my photos that way. but itunes doesnt recognize it at all. there is currently no way for me to sync my iphone. I have already "reset" my iphone... (holding down home button and lock button until it shuts off... and still until it shows a apple icon and then releasing after the apple icon goes away). i then turn it back on and plug it into the computer. itunes still doesnt find it. what do i do? i really dont want to unistall it again.. its a huge hassle and take forever.
Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -

Computer:Macintosh OS.X. 10.2.8
EDIT:How would i get into the settings for the router?
Please give me a FULL tutorial of what too type what adress what to change and everything All around DoMessage Edited by Fooglewasp on 10-28-200606:31 PMI don't understand what you have tried in the first place and what did not work. Entering an address in the address bar does not have anything to do with port forwarding.
BTW, the router does have a user manual that explains all those things. -
I tried to update my ipod but it didnt work and it turned off, it came up with the plug and the itunes symbol when i turned it on and thats all. So i plugged it in itunes and then tried to restore it but everytime i tried to restore it, it didnt work! So i took it to harvey norman, to see if they could fix it or restore it but they couldnt fix it . So, what should i do?
Without more information like what happens when you restore the iPod all I can suggest is:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

when I make a call or recieve a call, the voice of the other person is not heard. but speaker phone works. what could be the trouble. could you please help me in resolving this? iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3.i had purchased my iphone 4 factory unlocked from usa last month.i am from india so will any apple service centre help me for this issue?
They will help you just make sure that you make a appointment before you go into the store. Also if the iPhone needs to be replaced and you are not within your year of hardware coverage, that is when they will ask you to pay a fee.

My phone died last night and when I plugged it in it wouldn't turn on.I tried restarting it but it has yet to turn on since last night,It was just a black screen,i try the on/off and home buttons together but its not working,What should I do?
How long have you had your phone? Because if you've had it a long time, the battery in the phone might of died on you. Or have you dropped it in water, snow, from high up? All those things could of disconnected something internally in your phone, or permentaly damaged the internal hard drive its self, or the sims card.
