Any help for a virus on mac

I have a virus on my Mac i need help

It's not a virus. It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily. There are several ways to recover.
1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
2. Press and hold the key combination command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
3. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
Close the malicious window or tab.
Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen. From the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

Is there any help for a cracked iphone after dropping it?

is there any help for a cracked iphone after dropping it?

If you have the new AppleCare+ service, then yes:
http://www.apple.com/support/products/iphone.html
Otherwise, maybe. Regular AppleCare, if you have it, can't help you. But you might still be able to get it repaired – of course, any repair will cost you. Apple will replace a damaged iPhone for a flat fee.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

I have not updated my iphone in two years, and error -43 occured. i cannot find any help for this on the apple site

If the phone has been hacked, we can not offer advice on Apple's support site.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

Just bought Lightroom 6 through B&H Photo Video online and now Adobe says it is "unable to validate this serial number for Lightroom". Any help for me here folks?

Just bought Lightroom 6 through B&H Photo Video online and now Adobe says it is "unable to validate this serial number for Lightroom". Any help for me here folks?

If you want to buy the product Lightroom 6.0 from the Adobe Website, then please visit here-
http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software _sl_mostpopular.html
And scroll down to the bottom and spot the Lightroom 6.0 to buy the standalone application.
You can buy the application as an upgrade or full product (second red box in the screen shot shows the previous version of the software you own and needed to be selected if you are buying the upgrade Lightroom 6.0 ) in case you have the previous version ( Lightroom 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ) serial number registered or noted somewhere.
Here is the screenshot which might help you in buying the product correctly,
You can visualize the first red box where you need to select on the drop down to make the purchase as an upgrade product or the full version of the application.
If you have the qualifying product ( Lightroom 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ), then it would cost you just $79 else $149 in case of full installer.
Try, it might help you get over the plight of buying the product.
Thank you so much.

Wireless printer sharing- Verizon only has automated help-or any help- for windows. i have a mac.

i have a new Brother 490CW which instructs me to "push the WiFi protected set up button" on the router. the Verizon supplied router Ultraline series only has on/off power button. Verizon's help is abysmal. The automated response sends me back the the help for windows. can anyone tell me how to set up this printer as wireless?
thanks.

Pretty good directions here : http://www.brother-usa.com/support/wireless/Step1.aspx?ProductID=MFC-490CW
You'll find the SSID (ESSID) + WEP key on a sticker on the Verizon-supplied router.

Virus Scan for Windows Viruses on Mac

I am new to discussion group since my Apple Care subscription expired and they don't renew it.
I hope this is the correct Forum for this topic----if not, please advise which of over several thousand threads might it be associated more closely with?
I'm Looking for a virus scanner that will scan windows materials (CD disks with program files on them) while in a MAC 10.3 OSX environment.... (sorry haven't yet updated to either TIger or Leopard 10.4 or 10.5 as of yet).
Can use or buy either an online scanner or resident virus scanner within the Mac. As this discussion group concerns the PowerBook G4 15 inch screen, that is what I chose to post first within.
Thanks for reading this!

Hi eww:
Wow! You are correct for most of your assertions and observations...but unfortunately for you, I am employed and live in a PC Windows world that makes no excuses or time for the few (to the IT managers) Apple/Mac users out there. You do have a fan here in those multitude of PC vs. Mac advertisements, which clearly point out the folly of anyone using Windows on a PC.
I am employed by a 21 college University, which, at my last estimate, currently is funding Microsoft to the tune of $42 million dollars a year for its Windows Licenses across the University platforms which are almost 100% Windows based (or mainframe Unix for computer science classes of course). I consistently get emails with unopenable "windat" files and "PowerPoint" "excel" etc files and CD's that are totally unusable in the MAC, and for which I maintained the PC. Currently offline, its a two step dance to get them off line to the MAC and then save to a jump drive and thence recopied over to the PC to be opened there. They will not normally spend college money duplicating 100 page endless documents for the one user who has a "pc" problem, and they are just as enthusiastic about their PC's and Windows and hide any defects under the general phrase "computer or internet system is down---sorry for the inconvenience" broadcast over the old fashioned "telephone answering machine" network we still have functioning after 20 years! Also, unfortunately, after having spent monies for many expensive computer programs and their proprietary methods of "saving" files so that only their program can open and utilize them.....I am not about to buy all "Mac" versions of the programs (if there are any in the same company---usually they are not), or spend the time and money buying brand new Apple created or third party created programs, learn how to use them, and then save to their unique proprietary methods of saving files, all the data and files which are saved now on the PC. That unfortunately is simply not an option. Unfortunately for timing, after investigating those programs that claim to convert the Mac into a "Windows friendly" platform also run afoul of many issues, including the program cost is just the beginning, as now one has to purchase all new versions of the programs to run on a different computer with its new unique CD product key, not to speak of the difficulty of deciding if I go with XP which can run and share the files as they are, or the new VISTA program, which as I've explored this issue with some of the major programs I use and no longer can access right now on the PC---they say that (in typical Microsoft computerspeak) "sorry, but you may find that older programs no longer run in the VISTA environment, so new programs and files may have to be created" (that sentence is a simplified compilation of the programs that I've investigated..... The simplest one to show you this on is the fact I'm a WordPerfect User in a "Word" world. Even the MAC I have has Microsoft's version of Office on it with their terrible Word program on it. Fortunately for me, WordPerfect realizes this is the issue and creates keys that allow one to change the way a file is saved so that those people with Word, or a dozen other word-processing systems can read and correct those files. Unfortunately, that does it for WordPerfect as the other companies I use and have used for years through many versions on the Windows based systems, do not care if their programs would be readable by people using similar systems on a Mac.
But enough about why I still cling to the PC.
You brought up interesting points that I didn't stop to think about when I went searching for AV software that would check up on the Windows based CD for malware, spyware, and viruses. I've installed CD's from reputable companies that have had "issues" where people do insert such spyware etc unknowing to the top bosses into their production of the CD's in order to create havoc and upset the end user. Of course normal AV software on my PC has removed those programs for years. My difficulty is clear now, that I cannot use the older versions of the software as they do not install on my machine anymore with the "larger" Hard Drives and it detects that and refuses to scan for it....which takes care of the pre 2006 versions of the AV software.... Post 2006, AV software, must be "activated" using the internet and updated frequently else the AV software shuts down as a precuation against piracy. Of course turning on and connecting to the internet for even a few minutes of registration invites in to my computer a trojan horse which can do its damage before the AV software has been activated and the "Internet" scanning part of the software activated. I've discussed this problem with the software company at length and they assure me that they never thought of the problem, as most people like myself are installing "upgrades" not from "zero" so the older AV software is kept functioning until its removal is requested by the "Wizard" installing the new one, after confirmation of the CD product key allows for the installation and registration of the software.....I know I know too much details but you did respond to me as if I did not know of the detriments of having a PC and now I've explained the problems that led me to this course of action......its not the patience of a saint, but the business (education) that I'm in and to which Apple did not have enough of a clout when they were choosing which platform will run University-wide several decades ago, so now we are stuck with Microsoft whether we like it or not!
Back to the AV problem and thanks for pointing out that without the ability to download the program into the computer for the AV program to not only check up but eliminate any malware and viruses, the CD is essentially unchanged and would have been inserted into the PC and transferred its virus to the PC (if it did have one, as even a small virus would seriously hamper my continued discussions with these companies as they are searching for a solution, and coming up empty, of course they ask: any new software or viruses, and that I have until today answered "no"....
So therefore I am between a rock and a hard place not having the ability to install a MP3 creation program into the PC, nor being able to use the latest GarageBand with the parts of the program that had "defects" (we don't call them bugs in Mac, of course Mac's don't get things like viruses or bugs I've found out over the years!)...which have been long rectified with the newer iLife and newer Tiger/Leopard operating systems. Unfortunately, that accident and lack of willing and patient people to carry the computer to where the store is located has been the cause of the delay in upgrading...until now its deadline time and too late to do anything about it....
Of course the Garage Band would be updated when I get to have Leopard installed, but as someone here already pointed out, I have to buy from a store not via mail since I would not trust myself to install something on the Mac simply because I do not have the experience installing stuff on the Mac as except for a font program MacFonts, the Mac PowerBook is essentially the way it was when purchased in 2004.
Thanks again for your patience in reading all of this background material---any suggestion from you or anyone would be appreciated as I’m forever barred from posting my question on the Windows help Forums as the price of entry is too high (another “free” installation of the Windows Genuine Advantage” program!)

Any help for Audtion crashes. I have audition CC and recently it started crashing randomly

My Audition suite keeps crashing when transferring tracks from waveform to multitrack. any help is awesome.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the reply, So Im running on a MAC OS X Yosemite 2.7 Ghz intel core i5 8gb. When I try to manipulate the pitch shifter effect the program sometimes will stall and freeze, or it will not play sound or apply to affect until after I hit apply which defeats the purpose of listening while you edit. the system will crash when transitioning from waveform to multi track. these are the types o issues I have encountered.

When syncing my iPhone with iTunes, I get the error, "some items did not sync, see itunes for help", but can't find any helps for this in iTunes. Where can I find out what is not syncing?

When syncing my iPhone with my iPhone, I get a message that 2 items did not sync - use iTunes for help.
But I can't find any help information in iTunes at all, let alone when items are not syncing.
How do I figure out what is not syncing?

Since it seems App related, I'm not sure what to offer you. I guess the only suggestion I have is for you to reboot your iPad and then try again. To reboot, hold the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You won't lose any settings or data, so it's worth a shot.

24" iMac any good for games (compared to Mac Pro)

Hi,
I'm on my second Mac Pro and after no end of trouble so i'm hoping to exchange it for a 24" imac but i was wondering if it's any good for games?
I would probably configure it with the 7600gt and maybe the 2.33ghz proccessor.
My mac pro with the x1900xt ran Quake 4 and Doom3 etc at full stettings really well but i've just had to much trouble with it!

The iMac would be fine for games for now, but you are stuck with the configuration that you purchase as there is no way (for now) to upgrade the video card.
There is a thought that some OEMs might make an upgrade card, but as of now there are none.
The big advantage of the Mac Pro is that it has the PCI-express video card that you can remove the stock card from and add a newer, better card.

Any uses for a old power mac g4

Is there any use for a old powermac g4 since i have a new 2010 imac. I love the thing so i tried to get some more use out of it by making it into a server but i can't find disc's for it. So i tryied making it into a ubuntu server but they stop support for them long ago and i'm not to sad about it becuase i don't know much kernal.
I just wanted to know if there is any use of still keeping a old mac around. Not just for look.

Without Install Discs, sadly it isn't worth much for anything other than threatening to go back to using the G4 if the new iMac gets tempermental!

Any fix for printing issue on Mac?

Hi,
I've seen several posts on this and other boards, many suggested fixes but none that work. What are we supposed to do if we have Captivate 8 for Mac (Yosemite) and an Office 365 account and Word isn't physically installed on the computer???
I'm thinking Adobe needs to rethink how printing is handled. Any suggestions for resolution is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You are asking the wrong people, if you need to know about Acrobat, you need to talk to Adobe. Adobe Acrobat Pro X for Mac is US$449.00;

Any help for my problem with iTunes 11.2.1 update and "unknown error (-54)"

After downloading iTunes 11.2.1 update I can't get into iTunes Store and keep getting an error message "unknown error (-54)". What does this mean? How do I correct it? No sense in having iTunes if I can't get into the store or my account.
Thank you for any help.

Why is this Itunes such a pile of junk? If I restart my computer I can sometimes find the recently added music in my Itunes Library.
It would be nice to know if other people are having the same problems.

Flash Player 17 Any help for Yahoo games?

I have Flash Player 17
It is the newest version. I checked other Yahoo games and they work fine on my Win7 OS. However, on Omaha Poker, a straight beats a flush, 3 of a kind beats a straight, and a flush beats a full house! I've even had a King beat 2 pair. The funny part is, one day the flush wins, the next day the straight beats the flush!
I do, not have this problem with Texas Hold,'me poker. I checked my plug-ins, and only 1 Adobe FP is running (I know Google Chrome had problems with this, but not on my PC)
What else could cause this to happen? I usually have only 1 or 2 devices running,and no more than 1 browser window open on each, I have the same problem with just 1 device on. I have a couple add-ons running, but their speed is less than 1/2 second total. Any help?
TY
Jackie

I uninstalled by using Uninstall programs. Yes, activex for IE. By fails, I was using it to listen to wgnam.com (radio station). After installing V17 yesterday, & restarted the radio station this morning, the radio station wouldn't work, thus flash failed. After posting, I went back & installed V17 a couple more times & all of a sudden it started working!

TS3694 any help for "error 3004"???

I'm trying to upgrade my iPhone to IOS6. I solved my troubles with iTunes, and now I get a 3004 eroor.
Any help?

I was trying to update my iphone 5 to IOS7 and couldnt do it for 5 times then I did the following and was able to update it right away
Clearing your DNS cache may resolve the issue and enable you to connect to the iTunes Store.
The easiest way to clear your DNS cache is to shut down your computer completely and then restart. If you can't shut down, you can clear your DNS cache manually.
Click Start and choose Run.
In the dialog that appears, type “cmd” (don’t type the quotes) and click OK.
After the DOS prompt (C:\), type “ipconfig /flushdns” (without the quotes) and press Enter. Make sure you enter a single blank space after “ipconfig.”
Let me know if it solved the issue for you
