Canada post email scam and my mac
Hello Everybody,
Today I'm a little freaked, I loaned my macbook pro (2010, OSX 10.6) to my mom to write up some emails. She was checking her email's (hotmail) junk folder and saw this Canada Post email. She clicked both links, but closed them before typing/or presumably downloading anything. I've ran Calmxav through pretty much the entire computer, and all that has come up is a bunch of Heuristic.Phishing.email.SpoofedDomain emlxs(sp?) Are these safe?should I buy Norton? I want to make sure that there is no problem sending out online banking stuff or sending out infected emails to my teacher's pcs for assignments.
Thanks
Oh also, I have norton 360 Everywhere for my Pc laptop, and desktop, but I can't install it on 10.6 (it needs 10.7) will upgrading To mountain lion (10.8) all my to install it on my mac? And is the full software upgrade in the app store? If that's a stupid question, I'm sorry I'm used to pcs requiring me to spend a hundred bucks or so on upgrading to a new platform...
I didn't think anything has been infected, but how would I know if there was an infection? and for future reference, so I understand and can relate it to my mom, does clicking the link just lead to a download/form to enter info, or is the hyper link itself a virus infected link?
Thanks for the response

I'm having a problem sending a word doc via email. I have Mac for Office 08, and I'm using Mavericks OS. When I save the document as a .doc or .docx, and send it to someone, (doesn't matter if its safari, chrome or firefox or on my yahoo or gmail accounts) they receive it as a blank document. Yet, when I open it on my Mac, it has a "word" icon and I can read it. How do I fix?
I suggest you post on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having issues with.

My computer has been infected by a Trojan Horse. It has taken over my Mac email account and began sending out malicious emails to everyone in my address book. I cleared out my MAC address book and began using my AOL email account. It took a few days and then my AOL email account was infected and has now been send out malicious email to all my contacts for over a month. It has also infected my iPhone--I am no longer able to send or receive emails on my iPhone. Also, once the Trojan Horse began using my AOL email it completely blocked me from using my MAC account by sending never ending popups asking for my email password to access my MAC email account, but it never accepts my pass word. The TH has also slowed down everything on my computer. It's like I am working on an old PC with dial up connection instead of the high speed digital connection that I have. The little color wheel spins constantly as I wait for sometimes over a minute for a page to pull up. If it pulls up at all. I have tried to use the 2 disks that came with my computer to completely remove everything on my computer and then reinstall all the programs, but I am not allowed to sweep my computer clean. I thought maybe my disks that came with my computer were defective so I called Apple and they sent me 2 new disks. I am not able able to clear my computer with the 2 new disks either. I have done this before successfully so it's not something new to me. I do remember when I believe my computer became infected: I had googled an unusual sewing term, and I was opening what appeared to be legitimate sites, when all of a sudden a pop up appeared that said that my computer had been infected. I immediately shut my computer off, but it was too late. I downloaded a virus program for Mac, and it has never found a virus or problem at all. I think it is part of this Trojan Horse, but I am unable to delete it from my computer. It refuses to uninstall. The Mac Trojan Horse is real and it is terrible. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would be very appreciative,
Beth
vuInstall ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

I have a Mac Pro using OSX 10.7.4. When using apple mail I click on the address icon to obtain email address and nothing happens. I've restarted both the application and the Mac but still won't open address book. Any ideas please.
Assuming you have these accounts set up in Mail, open preferences and under Accounts tab, edit the SMTP outgoing server list. Do you have a .mac address in the list? If so, delete it.
Are you using iCloud?
For the troubled account, select the correct SMTP server for that account in the box and check the box to use only that server with that account. -

JoaoDo you perhaps have more than one Apple ID? If your response is "No," are you absolutely positive?

Has anyone had a problem with Draft Emails getting sent with Mac OS 10.8.2? It just happened to me and sent a few drafts out to a potential employer I planned on sending out tomorrow.
Hi, one question & one suggestion...
What possible things are connected at home but not at the store, inlude every cable, etc.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one? I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.
It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud. If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices. If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't. (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

HT2486 HOw do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?
How do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?
Connect your iPhone 4S to your Mac using the iPhone’s USB cable, and then use iTunes to transfer your contacts from to the iPhone. (An alternate way is to use iCloud.)
I’m not sure what you mean by “transferring email address” from the Mac to the iPhone. But if you mean you want to access your email from the Mac and the iPhone, the best way is to configure your email account over IMAP in Mail on both devices. -
i'm trying to access my new icloud email acct from my mac. I have OS 10.6.8 and have just completed a software update. But still not seeing how to install my icloud acct...?
You must upgrade your OSX to Lion (10.7) minimum, Mavericks (10.9) preferably.

A new version of Yahoo Mail has unexpectedly been dumped on long time users a few days ago, leaving many of us with functions that no longer work and are unstable. There was no announcement of a Beta or a possibility of retaining the old Yahoo Mail. It was like "Here it is, like it or not. We don't care."
My son said "Why don't you use another email client?". I thought of Mac Mail immediately. I have found a lot of instructions as to how to move my Yahoo mail components, and they sound pretty easy, but what I haven't found is what happens to my Inbox email, my archived email and my contacts. Do I have to move all those components to Mac Mail manually, and if so, will they now reside on my hard drive? Maybe I'm getting in over my head here. Some of the instructions say all I need is just my Full Name, Email address and Password. I guess I'm a cynic. It just sounds too good to be true. What happens to the stuff that was on Yahoo?
I have a couple of other reputable email accounts, but I would have to go through all my friends and businesses and inform them of the changed email addy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ktaggartI've never bothered w/Yahoo Mail latest upgrades or updates.
You can switch back to the old version of Yahoo Mail by going into your Yahoo Preferences and/or check the top right hand corner of its website. -
I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. They are both correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac. i use mac mail and it is my companies server. I took my computer and iPhone to the Apple store...4 hours later they said that couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Any suggestions???? I am also not able to log into the C-Panel...
Same here! Happened yesterday to me on New iPad and iPhone 4S. On iPad I managed to correct it by removing the account and activating it again as an Exchange account...I have mail and calendar OK!
On the iPhone nothing seems to work!
Facts:
1. everything worked perfectly for years!
2. I have the 2-step authentication deactivated on my google account so it cannot be this one.
3. On desktop everything works just fine, on iPad everything is OK with Exchange account added (after Google removed support for Exchange account access I CAN ONLY HAVE ONE DEVICE with Google Exchange account, so doing the same on the iPhone does not work!)
4. Tried to remove and add the account again - no results.
5. Tried to remove and add as Google, as Exchange, as Other account - I get calendar but no mail!!!
6. Tried to reboot between remove/add accounts - no results.
7. Tried to ("reset settings") reset the device - no results.
8. Tried to add as POP account and I it worked - I get mail but I do not need POP as I am using zounds of mail with labels and need to be working on an IMAP account
9. To make things even more complicated...I have another account which works perfectly!!!!!
Anyone out there having a clue? -
If I upgrade to OSX Lion from 10.6.8, will I keep all of my current files, bonjour install, printers, iWeb sites, documents, email, apps, and everything? Forgive my n00b-ness of upgrading an OS on a mac.. this will be my first upgrade of OS.
You will keep the apps and printers, but they may or may not work.
Quicken for Mac is gone for example because it requires Rosetta to run. Lion does not support Rosetta which may lead to some older printer/scanner software to no longer function.
Just a few of many.
