idownloaded mackeeper as it said recommend by apple wish i didnt
does anyone on how to get rid of the malware that c
downloaded with it please
"MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
First, back up all data.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and immediately emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the other functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
☞ Let MacKeeper delete its other components before you empty the Trash.
☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.
☞ Don't try to remove MacKeeper while running in safe mode.

HT204406 "Error 4001 with iTunes Match" does anyone know how to get rid of it?
When trying to setup Match with Itunes I get error message 4001. Does anyone know how to get rid of this? I am on the most current version of Mountain Lion and I have upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. Error message occurs every time I try to setup match.
Yep! I got the same thing. (and the failure to launch full screen mentioned elsewhere).
Please let me know if you find a way to sort this out.

when I'm on an app, on iso7.1 it will now show the "iPad/iphone" sign - the time - and the battery whilst running in an app. does anyone know how to get rid of that as its effecting the games i play.
If you can hide the status bar, it would be an option inside the app. I have one or two apps where that is an option but in most apps it is not.

I just turned on iTunes on my Mac and suddenly instead of the usual song list there's a window with what looks like a screensaver graphic. Everytime I close it it just comes back. Does anyone know how to get rid of this permanently? Thanks.

I am getting blocks of black, vertical broken lines to right of cursor, around applications on desktop and over text on internet. I recently updated from OS X Tiger to Leopard on my G5 powermac. Can anyone advise how to get rid of the blocks of lines?
What graphics card is installed?
Have you looked inside to see if the interior is dusty?
Is the graphics card dusty?
If equipped, is the fan on the graphics card turning?
Leopard uses the graphics card harder than Tiger, so weakness in the graphics card is more easily shown. -

How do I get totally rid of MACKEEPER which has embedded in my system?
MacKeeper has been described by various sources as highly invasive malware that can de-stablize your operating system, adding that it is unethically marketed by a company called Zeobit, with a history of making false advertising claims backed up with paid-for reviews, and a rip-off. One such opinion is:

How to get rid of Mackeeper and Mplayer X
I have system 10.9.4 on my macbook pro - today both Mplayer X and Mackeeper together downloaded onto my computer by mistake. Now it's a nightmare, normal links clicked on take me to Mackeeper and ads fill up my screen so I can't see what is underneath the ads!
Safara was effected too, in my preferences set up "open links and windows to top sites", it keeps changing and going back to homepage.
How can I get rid of these? I deleted them both but it made no difference.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks, MarthaFor Mplayer X, try MPlayerX Malware Removal

How do i get rid of the message that keeps popping up that says "google talk authentication failed"????
funwidowlady,
Good afternoon! I'm glad I can be here to help with this error. In the device this application is identified only as 'Talk', so that be more familiar to you. First I recommend opening the 'Market' app on your phone, then Menu>My Apps to see if this application requires an update. It will display a list on top of all applications that need to be updated. If nothing exists, tap 'Home' and go into 'Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Talk, then tap 'Clear Cache' and 'Clear Data' to remove the history of that application and stop the notifications. The app will remain on your phone for future use, if you desire to take advantage of it. Read more about Google Talk here
Thank you!

Does anyone know how to get rid of Livewire??? PLEASE HELP!!!
My friend downloaded Livewire to my other Dell PC and it is now a folder in my iTunes sidebar. When I am trying to build new playlists etc they are added as a subfolder under my iPod but when I am trying to download songs to my nano it is only giving me the option to pick playlists that are a subfolder of the Livewire folder. So when I try to update ipod uding the "only checked playlists" option, the options given are subfolders of the Livewire folder and not the playsists I am making that fall under the iPod folder. I tried to remove Livewire from my computer via add/remove fies but is is still in my iTunes. How do I get rid of this??
Thanks
Mac G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)I don't know if this will help but when Limewire was downloaded on your computer, along with the desktop icon was the uninstaller for Limewire. You might try it if you still have it somewhere. After you went to add/delete program it might have deleted that, so you may have to download again and then uninstall. Hope this helps. It's Limewire.com and you probably had the basic which there was no cost involved. Good Luck! Irene

When i logged onto my itunes account, my daughters contacts uploaded to my iphone. We do not share the same itunes account so i don't know how this happened. Does anyone know how to remove her contacts from my phone with out having to manually delete them one by one?
Apparently, you have set up the same iCloud account on both devices or you are syncing both devices under the same user ID on the same computer and have ended up syncing both of them with the same address book on the computer.
