  • 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:

  • Are there any known issues running MAC OS X 10.8.5 on my IMAC and MAC OS X 10.6.8 on my MAC Server?

    Are there any known issues running MAC OS X 10.8.5 on my IMAC and MAC OS X 10.6.8 on my MAC Server?

    To answer the obvious question. No. None that I've seen. But it may depend on what you mean exactly?
    Connecting to file sharing service - None that I've seen
    Connecting to Open Directory (assuming proper configuration) - None that I've seen
    Using the Server's Mail Service (assuming proper configuration) - None that I've seen
    I can say the same about anything else the Server may or may not be offering.

  • 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?

  • Are there any known issues for macbook pro freezing (applications mostly) because of internet fluctuations?

    Hi,
    I live in Philippines and our internet speed here is not very reliable.  It fluctuates a lot and sometimes, it would just drop to zero and then kick back in again.  I don't know why this is so - either it's our DSL or our router.  Nevertheless, I just want to know if there are issues with applications freezing in macbook pro (esp safari) due to internet fluctuations, causing the color wheel spin and the my laptop freezing for few seconds or sometimes minutes.  Everything would freeze, all I can move is my mouse and thant's it.  Usually, if an application is not responding, it's only that application. But l noticed this time it's causing the whole system to freeze.  I just recently upgrade to Mountain Lion.

    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.

  • Are there any known problems with Macs and the mp3 playback in Adobe Connect ?

    One user using an Apple Mac has complained of not being able to hear the mp3 sound playback in a meeting.
    Is this a problem with Apple Mac and mp3 compatibility or is it an individual soundcard issue ?

    I use several Macs with Adobe Connect and I have even created MP3 files for playback in the room. Works fine on all my macs. It's basic Flash. Suggest they clear their browser cache, replace their host-add-in if using one. Run the audio wizard as well to make sure sound is working in Connect.
    All of the Adobe Connect Government engineers use Macs all the time so we've never had an issue with MP3's.

  • Are there any known conflicts between Mountain Lion and Microsoft Outlook for Mac? After installing, I can't send or receive eMails

    Are there any known conflicts between Mountain Lion (10.8.3) and Microsoft Outlook for Mac? After installing, I can't send or receive eMails. Using a Macbook Pro.

    Is this a recent problem or has it been going on for some time.  If you just updated to ML, you might want to confirm that you've update to the latest MS Office / Outlook patches.

  • Are there any known issues when using PSE 13 after installing Apple's recent 10.10.3 Combo update for Yosemite?

    I've had Yosemite for some time and bought/installed PSE 13 afterwards.
    In the last few days I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3.
    As a PSE 13 novice I've been working my way through "Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 - Classroom in a Book". Working through the exercises I've found my iMac is sometimes taking longer to process the functions I'm using than prior ro the 10.10.3 upgrade. E.g., using the Healing Brush tools, Straighten Tool etc.
    I've struggled with Apple's upgrade and had to re-install my machine from a previous Time Machine Backup and so I was wondering:-
    Are there any known issues with PSE 13 post 10.10.3 upgrade?
    Are there things I should be concerned about in the future before accepting an OS X upgrade?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    No, no known issues. However it's a good idea to always delete preferences after OS X system updates.

  • HT1222 Are there any security updates for the Mac OS 10.4.11?

    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 known issues upgrading to 10.8.3 from 10.7.5 with Parallels Desktop already installed in 10.7.5?

    Are there any known issues upgrading to 10.8.3 from 10.7.5 with Parallels Desktop already installed in 10.7.5?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Most of the applications compatible with Lion are also compatible with Mountain Lion, so you shouldn't have any problem. Mountain Lion supports the latest update for Parallels 7 and 8, so if you haven't got one of these versions, you should upgrade it before upgrading Mac OS X. That application uses extensions, so it may cause kernel panics

  • Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS

    Are there any known issues with Adobe Edge Animate and Yosemite? Experiencing performance issues since upgrading OS. Animation I was working on that had been performing in browser fine suddenly stopped working, and was not related to any action I had done at that point. Also was working in it today and program stopped responding to key board short cut commands.

    I am having a whole slew of odd interface problems with a fresh 2014.1.1 on a fresh macbook pro with latest Yosemite. Program locks up, cursor selections don't show, things disappear. I have a mac mini also and the program runs fine on it. Is there possibly something related to the solid state hard drive in new macs?

  • Are there PCI thunderbolt cards for mac pro 3.1?

    are there PCI thunderbolt cards for mac pro 3.1?

    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.
