Are there any know viruses for mac?

I just received a message from a friend and when I replied to it, he said it wasn't from him and that his computer had a virus. He only has a Mac, so wondering if there are any new problems with Mac or viruses.
Thanks

There are no known viruses, but there is a live trojan. However, you cannot be infected by a trojan simply from receiving it in an email. Nevertheless, you can check your system:
Two Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan
A link to a great User Tip about the trojan: Flashback Trojan User Tip
A related link in the tip to a checker: Malware Checker Dowload Link
A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started.
This will remove it if present: Anti Flashback-Trojan 1.0.1

  • Are there any video joiners for Mac?

    More and more downloadable movies are split and need to be joined back together to be viewed. I've searched the web over and can't find a Mac program to do this. I'm speaking of files that end in consecutive numbers like .001, .002, etc. Is there something along the line of Hjsplit for Mac?

    No. Tiger is an obsolete and unsupported OS at this point. If there were any updates you would find them using Software Update.

  • Are there any firmaware updates for time capsule?

    Are there any firmware updates for Time Capsule/Time machine?
    I just had a new hybrid (SSD and spinning disk) drive (750 GB) installed on my MacBook Pro and used Boot Kamp to partition it and run Windows xp. Now, my previously working Time Machine won't function. It says the "sparsebundle" is open (or in use)  preventing the back-up from working properly. When I try and remove and re-install Time Capsule as the disk to back-up to, it still doesn't work. My plan "B" is get a second Time Capsule and dedicate it to the MacBook. But, I fear I'll face the same problem.
    When I open to reconfigure Time Machine, the Time Capsule disk is identified as the back-up, but it's also seen in the "available disks to use for back-up" along with with Boot Kamp disk which is part of the new SSD hybrid hard drive just installed. (Remember it's the partitioned part running Windows xp.)
    I've unplugged/plugged-in the ethernet internet connection and the power cord many times to no avail. The message still says the sparsebundle is in the way.
    Do you think deleting Boot Kamp disk from the list of available hard drives might solve the problem?

    TM can only use AFP and only on disks formatted HFS+ (ie Mac Extended Journaled) so it should not bring up a boot camp partition as a possible destination at all .. but I have not done that seutp.
    It says the "sparsebundle" is open (or in use)
    That error is well known. It should simply required the TC to be restarted..
    That sometimes gets things working where the simple restart won't.
    I would recommend using short names, with no spaces and pure alphanumeric. 
    That is C9
    http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    If you have a more complicated setup.. I would recommend firstly doing a TM reset in the computer.
    See A4 in the same reference.
    Do a verify then of the sparsebundle on the TC.. A5 but you might need to inherit the old backup if you want to continue an old backup.. A new hard disk will make the TM consider the old backup no longer belongs to the computer.. there is a UUID connection to the actual hard disk used in the backup.
    Again read the info in pondini. B5 and B6.
    The sparsebundle in use is C12 but there are a number of sparsebundle issues in section C.. C17 is another common issue.
    Some of what you have done is not adequate.. eg disconnecting ethernet is not enough.. you need to reboot the TC.

  • Are there any Color Adjustments for Safari?  Printing with Magenta overlays.

    Are there any Color Adjustments for Safari?  When printing the iphone at www.apple.com/iphone/compare-iphones/ the phones have a Magenta Overlay on them.  Tried Firefox and Chrome with same computer, plus a PC to the same printer.  All else prints fine.  Have Intel based iMac, updated to 10.7.5, and using Safari 6.0.1.  I called Canon, and they said it is an issue with Safari.  Any Solutions?  Any way of replacing Safari?  (Recently updated to Lion via software downloads.  No disc.)

    Welcome to Apple....
    Kumusta Ka?  Ma init pa dyan?
    If you're browsing the web and you're internet connection is slow or sometimes dropping, it is normal for Safari to hang or freeze for a little bit until it connects to the site you're trying to view or visit.
    Try this - go to system preferences - network - advance - dns and change your dns server.

    It's that last sentence I'm curious about.  "However a MacPro already has much more capability already built in than Thunderbolt can add."
    I'm thinking of getting a Mac Pro, but see that it doesn't seem to have Thunderbolt. I'm not sure if I care. The reason for the Mac Pro is that I'm topping out my 8gb RAM 27" iMac capacity with the volume of work going through it, and my tech tells me I'm pushing it too hard.  I use it to run a small law office, but usually have about 15 apps open, with lots going on in the network in the background.
    Is there any reason to wait until Apple puts Thunderbolt into the Mac Pro?
    Thunderbolt will not increase the performance capability of the MacPro. It will add a bus that can be convenient, especially later on when Thunderbolt devices become more common, more mature and better supported - oh, and with more common will come less costly. From a pure performance standpoint the existing PCIe slots are much more capable and cheaper to implement. You would be giving up nothing with a current MacPro.
    My opinion. Thunderbolt is really a great move forward in the long run - needed something to replace Firewire and this is it. But there is no reason to wait on Thunderbolt on MacPro - it is redundant.
