Can I trust Adblock and other Safari extentions?

Because they are available through the Apple Safari extension gallery I presume the extensions featured are all trustworthy (i.e., that my iMac won't misfire or melt down or material on my hard drive won't be hacked) if I install them?

I have used AdBlock  for years, bith on Safari and Firefox, it works extremely well and has had no adverse effects on my computers.  You can trust the apps you get from Apple, but use common sense and before you download anything, check these Discussions or Google to find  out if the app works well and is safe.

  • The audio on my 1st gen iPad is sporadic -- can't trust alarms and sometimesdownkoaded iTunes won't play.  What's going on?

    My 1st generation IPad's audio is sporadic.  Can't trust alarms and sometimes downloaded iTunes will advance but nothing can be heard.  And yes, I have checked to be sure the audio Is turned on and the volume up high.  Can anyone help me?  Please don't tell me it's a hardware issue. . . .

    I tried to install it, but now a little window pops up that says "The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory C:Program Files\Quick Time\QTSystem\Quick Time.Resources.en.lproj. The installation cannot continue. Log on as an administrator or contact your system administrator".
    Although those messages do sometimes indicate a folder permissions problem, they can also be caused by disk damage. So let's try running a chkdsk over your C drive first.
    See the following Microsoft document for instructions and a "Guided Help":
    [How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265]
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, reboot the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?

    Launch iTunes on your Mac, plug your phone in, select it in the sidebar, select what you want to sync under the various tabs, hit the sync button. If the sidebar is not visible, go up to the "View" menu & select "Show Sidebar".

  • How can I delete videos and other things uploads to icloud ?

    How can I delete videos and other things uploads to icloud ?

    If these are purhased movies they are not stored in your iCloud account and cannot be deleted.  They are stored in the iTunes store.  What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased movies, allowing you to redownload them.
    If you don't want to see these in the Videos app, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn Videos off under Show All.

  • I bought over a Mac Book Pro from a friend. I can't update iPhoto and other apps as it seems like these are tagged to the previous owner's account. Pls advise.

    I bought over a Mac Book Pro from a friend. I can't update iPhoto and other apps as it seems like these are tagged to the previous owner's account. It basically requires me to sign in to my fren's account which is absurb! Because iphoto comes with mac isn't it?

    Contact your "friend." Have him set up the MBP for your with your own account, settings and passwords. You are not running IOS 5.1. That is for iPhone and iPad users. What OS are you running? Did he give you the OS installer disks?

  • 3GS: After upgrade to OS4 my BMW can not sync contacts and other informatio

    Hello,
    after the upgrade to OS4, my BMW can not sync the contacts, call information and other things via bluetooth. With OS 3.x, everything was fine.
    How can I fix the problem? Reinstall OS3.x? Reboot my BMW
    Thanks
    Tom

    Thanks, but as I've said I've tried all of that described in the reference you've kindly given. I don't have a local cache, and hence no PST files. The only one I have is an OST file which I have checked for integrity using the Microsoft supplied tools. I have switched to local PST (a suggestion given in another thread), and found that not to work either, so have switched back to non cached. I have even renamed the OST file to .BAK, and had it rebuilt. Again to no avail. There is a bona fide bug here. The http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306635 article does only say "This may be due to the format of the Outlook Personal Storage File (.PST)", so I guess as the operative word is "may", its not a guarantee of this being the solution.
    Also I'm not syncing my contacts, I'm only doing the calendar nothing else.
    Additionally, this used to work, so your hypothesis, of the "bad data", being synced in 7.6 and then not being able to be subsequently budged is a definate goer I think. But the trick would be to work out what the bad data is. I'm assuming the source of the bad data is the iphone, so I've deleted old calendar in outlook entries I know to have come from the iPhone, that has, as yet, been a fruitless exercise.
    I do thank you though for your help though, I'll be scouring the internet for any tidbits of information which might help, and I'll post them back here if I find the solution, or anything which may help others unfortunate enough to be in this situation.

  • Can't sync photos and others

    I've a problem with sync of photos and others. When I sync music or videos in iTunes (I've 7.5) it runs perfect, but when I want to sync photos, contacts or bookmarks it doesn't function. On iPod there is still Sync in Progress and in the iTunes there is Syncin "..." ...
    Where's the bug?

    Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
    I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
    The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
    Any advice gratefully received!

  • QoS - can u trust dscp and cos?

    Hello,
    is it possible to trust DSCP and COS at the same time?
    If so, which one wins?

    G'day,
    It does not really make sense to trust both DSCP and CoS at the same time. You configure your switch to trust one or none of these.
    As an example, if you did have the capability to trust both DSCP and CoS, imagine what would happen if you received a frame with DSCP EF and CoS 0 ? You would be faced with a conflicting situation ... if you trusted CoS, you would give a potentially high-priority packet lesser service. Whereas if you trusted DSCP, you could end up giving a potentially low-priority packet voice-like service... So the option of trusting both is not allowed.
    Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does.

  • How can I remove adware and other advertising on Safari running Yosemite 10.10.2 OS

    I'm very happy with the improvement to the running of Safari (now 8.0.3) now I've installed the Yosemite OS (many thanks for the announcement, Apple), but I'm being plagued by tabs opening advertising continually, and finding what I understand is called adware on pages I'm using.
    I've installed AdBlock (which worked well on my old operating system), but it seems to do little - or nothing like enough to make web use the pleasure it was.
    Any suggestions as to how to prevent this making life miserable, I'd very much appreciate it - and "walking me through" any procedures would be great: I'm not an expert.
    Many thanks.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.
