Are there viruses out there than can infect your Mac without you knowing anything. The virus is so stealth that it doesn't give any symptoms.
I have reason to believe my job is syping on me and i would like to know if there are viruses out there that can infect your Mac without you knowing anything. I believe there is one called "Finfisher".
FinFisher is an extremely high-priced spyware tool marketed to governments and law enforcement agencies. It's very unlikely that your employer would be able to obtain a copy.
Further, at this time, there is no known malware capable of infecting an up-to-date Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Of course, physical access changes the rules. If your employer has had unsupervised physical access to your machine, they could have done anything.
If they have had that access, and you truly believe that they have done that, there's only one way to clean your Mac up: erase everything and start over from scratch. See:
How to reinstall Mac OS X from scratch

Verizon's Family Base should allow you to do what you want.

There are only a few features that aren't supported, the ones that require a Family Base app to be installed on the phone. -
i caught a virus...is macprotector a real mac program or is it the virus masquerading as one?
i just bought the norton anti virus for mac and i'm still getting pop ups...etc
what is the best program for my macbook?MacProtector and all of it's ilk (it's appeared under several names) is a scam and is lying to you. There are no viruses on your system, only the MacProtector "scamware". If you search the forums or the web for "Mac Defender", you'll find a lot of information about this scam along with instructions on how to remove it. Do not, under any circumstances, provide the crooks who created this garbage with any personal information, particularly not any credit card.
I don't know why Norton Antivirus isn't catching this, but it may be that it will block installation of the scamware but not remove it once installed.
Regards.

Are there people out there making sounds
Are there people out there making sounds that you can download and add to Garageband? In Final Cut there are a bunch of people out there offering Effects.
Thanks!
Hamyou'd probably be better off asking this in one of the GB communities rather than a support forum. There are many, including
icompositions
macidol
macjams
macband
to name several popular ones. -
My iphone 4s remains in recovery mode permamently. Itunes wont restore it, constant messages of error 4013 keeps coming up on screen, is there any1 out there who can help before i crack up?
Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

i have moved my sdcard over to my samsung brightside phone,. but the videos can not be read. Is there anyone out there whom may have experienced the same issue? I also tried transferring my files over to my pc first, then reformatted the sdcard, then transferred to the appropriate files back onto the sdcard and put back into samsung.
Thanks for the info SuzyQ. lorsa, the community is correct, pictures and videos can be saved differently on other phones. What phone did you remove the SIM card from? Where did you purchase your SIM card from? Your previous phones SD card and format may not be compatible with your Brightside device. I show you advise that you reformated your memory card but make sure the files are saved correctly. Listed below are the different type of files you can save, receive, and view for pics and videos with your device.
Files that are compatible with the Brightside device:
JPEG (*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.jpe)
BMP (*.bmp)
PNG (*.png)
GIF (*.gif)
3G2 (*.3g2)
3GP (*.3gp)
MPEG4 (*.mpg)
Please let me know if the information above helped with your issue. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. Make sure you always power cycle periodically. You may also need to peform a hard rest for your phone.

Are there pepes out there using ipads to make group music with children who have profound and multiple learning difficulties? I am and I'd love to share the ideas.
I am the music teacher in a Special school in London UK currently working with Drake Music who are a charity that go into schools to enable music making through music technology. Our purpose is to enable a group of 7 children who have profound and multiple learning difficulties to play instruments on the ipads or through the soundbeam and to be able to play and jam together with me underscoring on the guitar. We're having a lot of fun and we're all learning a lot about what can be achieved using the amazing ipad technology. If you're doing a similar project I'd love to hear from you and we can swap notes!See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
You can use iTunes to easily manage multiple devices by having each sync with selected playlists. I don't personally have any recommendations for other software but perhaps others might.

Hi there! Yesterday, I installed Mavericks on my Macbook. Since then, it doesn't recognize my external hard disk drive anymore (at least not on the desktop. In Germany they call it "it doens't mount it". I don't know if it's the same expression in english?)
I just used it a week ago, before I did the update and it worked perfectly fine.
Is there anyone out there who knows a solution for this problem? I've been googleing for hours now and can't find any answer.
Thank you!!!Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Is there anyone out there who have come across a 100 error code by trying to log into their e-mail through their internet provider? The error code means that you are trying to log in from another country. Is there something wrong with the settings???Please let me know if there is an answer out there. thank you
MicheleAs you can see below, when I right click, I have no such option. In the User Account Settings, I'm operating as the "System Administrator".
Any other suggestions? -

I once built an e-commerce site for a friend. He paid me $100
a month, plus
7% profit from the site for over two years to pay for it, so
I made around
$2,500 on it, just not all at once. Plus I had maintenance to
do on the
site. Since I got an e-mail every time he sold something, I
saw that in one
year the site generated about $28,000 for him, and all he was
selling was
little teacup nightlights. He'd buy teacups, cut them in
half, and put
little light fixtures in them. I no longer make anything off
of it, though.
As for doing it nowadays, I don't know. *I* don't like the
idea of running
a business, then spending a bunch of time on a website only
to have the
client tell me that they've changed their mind and don't need
the site after
I've already built it. Then I'd be forced to either take the
loss of time,
or go into a legal battle to get paid. I'd have to draw up
contracts, hire
a lawyer, etc..., and it's just a bunch of crap I don't want
to deal with.
Now if I had some kind of partner who gets off on running the
business side
so I can stay in the back room and just fill orders for
websites to be
built, that would be fine.
I once even thought of starting just a service for personal
web pages for
maybe older people who are easy to please and who just might
want a small
page with a few updates every now and then to add
photographs. To run this
business, I'd get an account with one of those webspace
resellers so I can
sell, say, a 5-megabyte account for $6.95 a month with one
minor page update
per month, and $5.00 for each additional update. Page setup
would be $20
for one page. I'd create, in advance, a set of graphics for a
bunch of
different styles. I dunno. I'd need a LOT of accounts to be
able to make
any decent money off prices being so low, but since none of
the sites would
be anything that big, any updates that are needed I could
take care of in
probably 10-15 minutes, at most. I'd just need some kind of
billing
software that allows me to add items and prices, then just
drag the item
into the user's account so their credit card is billed
automatically each
month for the right amount, or I could mail out paper bills
and run into
possibly dealing with bad checks.

I don't know where the contacts came from on that are now on my new phone. There are way too many and it is not my list of contacts I have on gmail. Where else is this from? I spent a LONG time on gmail going through my list of contacts. There were about 400 and I got it down to about 90. When I went to sync my new phone, ALL 400 synced.
Thank you for any help!Sorry for the repeat...new here. OBVIOUSLY.

Hiya, I've got a weird problem with my iPhone4. On the 'home page' of my iPhone the mail symbol tells me there's a new mail waiting for me. However, there's no new mail to be found. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks
This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

How often does Firefox Sync back-up data? I see there is no preference selection allowing you to change the pre-set frequency (whatever that interval may be).
However, the sync action only triggers every 60-minute and there is no user-configurable option provided. Although one can put a Sync icon onto the toolbar for easier access, it is still far from practical needs.
To unlock this limitation, do the following:
1) Type “about:config” at the address bar
2) Search for “services.sync.syncInterval”
3) Change the value from 3600000 (milliseconds = 3600 seconds = 60 minutes) to any value (in millisecond) of your choice
4) Close and restart Firefox
The Sync action will now trigger at the interval you just set.
