Clicked "update " for flashplayer and got a virus
I got my automatic update from Adobe for flashplayer and clicked it and got a virus. I have Mcafee virus protection and it didn't help catch it. McAfee wants $89.99 to remove it and I am not very happy. I deleted adobe flashplayer from my computer and tried to reinstall but now Mcafee won't let it through and sends a message saying that flashplayer has a virus / tojan. Really ? no kidding. My cable company told me to call another number and they want $149 to get rid of the virus. What do I do ? I don't plan on paying anybody to get rid of this virus. I use windows vista and tried installing flashplayer update for flashplayer 11.
thanks Adobe
Adobe is not, and never has been, in the business, or practice of distributing viruses.
Wherever you got the "update" from, it was not a legitimate Adobe Flash installer, and it didn't come from this site or this company.
While it's regrettable that your system is now infected, you must understand that there are literally thousands of "fake" updates out there, some with (illegally used) Adobe logos. Adonbe can't keep up with or remove them all before more pop up to take their place.
The following links are guaranteed legitimate, 100% virus free.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
If your McAfee shows either of these to contain a virus, it's a "false positive".
Download TDSSKiller from Kaspersky. It's free and it'll get rid of just about any malware.

I have an iPad 1 and after I got the latest update for keynote and Now it crashes every time I try to open it
Do you have iOS 5.1.1 on your original iPad? If not update the iOS.
You might also try quitting the app and then reset the pad.
Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Still no joy? Delete the Keynote app, reset the iPad and then reinstall Keynote. You will not have to pay for downloading it again. -
I down loaded the update for 4 and when I get to the end where is you click finish, it tells me to close firefox, but I do not have it open. Now I can not get in to Firefox at all. PLEASE Help.
You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
You should still have your profile folder, so when you install 3. you will get your bookmarks and other user data back.
There is a third party version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox -

Hi, upgraded to Mavericks and Epson scanner software was quarantined. Powered on the scanner, plugged in the USB, clicked Software Update, and an Epson Printer Software Update appeared in the App Store Updatees area. Clicked Update for the Epson printer software. During the download, I was presented with a dialog asking me if I wanted the software to be automatically installed. I chose the "not now" option and as far as the App Store in concerned the software was installed, but it has not been. Where did this go to and how can I force it to install? Or is there some way to force the App Store to go through the download process again. Many thanks! Joseph

<Edited by Host>Because there is only one update for all iPads and iPhones if you learn to read. And watch your language or no one will bother helping potty mouth little children like you.

I have updates for iMovie and iPhoto but when I try to update them through App Store I'm told that "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." even though I bought it and it is on my iMac! Any suggestions on what I need to do?
Hi...
Delete both apps using this utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
That will delete the apps and all associated files.
Then re download the apps. That will download the most recent version updates included.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase. -
I have windows 7 and I have been trying to install the newest update for itunes and quicktime but I keep receiving the same Bonjour error. I even tried to do it manually and no luck. I also tried to unistall bonjour but it would not even allow me to unistall it either. No matter what I do I get the same error listed below:
The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
I would greatly appreciate any help because this appears whether i am trying to install the updates or remove bonjour to reinstall. I am stuck.
Thank You in advance!!!The path C:\users\owner\appdata\local\apple\apple software update\bonjour64.msi cannot be found. verify that you have access to this location and try again or try to find the installation package "bonjour64.msi" in a folder from which you can install the product bonjour.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on 25 June 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
i just downloaded the new update for itunes and the itunes store wont open up it is taking a long time it still hasnt loaded since 5pm, i also cant sighn in either it just keeps on saying accessing itunes....
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Updated latest update for maverick and am having issues
i updated this past weekend to the latest update for Mavericks. and cannot get past the system setting up screen. what can i do to get past this?
apologizes, the mac is intel, and the update was downloaded from apple. as I recall it asked me if I wanted to setup icloud, and I clicked later. then it started saying "setting your mac up.....".I let it go for a while, two times, thinking it needed more time. it did not take me to the desktop at all.
I just read a discussion about reinstalling mavericks to repair what might have a snag. i also have a call into apple later when i get home.
can you elaborate on reinstalling the mavericks, for repair, without erasing the drive? -

Download trouble today Got the message for new updates for Lightroom and Photoshop CC. Download fails, under learn more ,, corupt files Fist time this hapened in a year Whats the remedy?
There's a number of potential problems here, and they may not necessarily be at your end.
First of all, it should be clear that CMYK is not so much a generic "image mode" as it is a description of specific press conditions. If you produce final CMYK, you must have the right profile. Don't use Image > Mode, use Convert to Profile.
Given that, I would question anyone who doesn't accept Adobe RGB photographs for a magazine article, because it implies a process that isn't properly color managed and generally not up to date. A standard workflow today would use InDesign, where images are normally placed in their original RGB space whatever that is. Then the conversion to final output CMYK is done as the last step, when producing a press-ready PDF from InDesign.
It helps tremendously if you know that final CMYK, because then you can proof to that so your file survives the CMYK conversion with the least possible damage (we're talking gamut clipping here; not general color shifts). But it's not absolutely required, which is why this workflow is relaitively safe.
Third, CMYK jpeg is in itself risky, because many jpeg decoders (in some software) don't have proper CMYK support. The result can be weird colors. This could well be the problem here, because it sounds as if your client uses a non-standard workflow.
So what to do? I would send two files. One sRGB as reference, which is guaranteed to come through correctly. Then find a way to send TIFF for the CMYK version if they insist, or ask them to try opening it in different software. Of course you should have a calibrated and profiled display, but I agree that's probably not the immediate problem here. There's no particular reason a CMYK file should come back with twisted colors if it's opened and processed in properly color managed software. -
