Does anyone know how to protect rmbp against newst Malware that is going through JAVA?

I read an article on Appleinsider about a new Malware that is going through java and can affect newer macs. I bought my retina two weeks ago and have to use programs that use java. How can I protect my computer?

Thanks Kappy! I knew if anyone would know the answer, it would be you. I appreciate it.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.      
    If sit still reocurrs a lot, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Does anyone know how to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 ios?

    After being tricked by the fast talking smoothy helper at Apple store in London to buy a micky mouse ipodtouch (fourth generation) two years ago I am stuck at ios 4.1 and find that all the useful applications need 4.3 or more. So I went to the trouble of letting the macbook stay open all night to load yet another micky mouse version of itunes so that I can upload the more recent version of ios and now (since I don't want to continually have a lot of rubbish on the ipod I disabled the automatic sync "feature") I can only go round in circles  whereby the only real possibility left is to turn on the autosync feature. I have had messages like "your ipod will be completely erased if you proceed" and "do you wish to fiddle another few days with this nasty system, then click on continue" and so on.
    Does anyone know how to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 ios?
    That would be great (maybe) because otherwise I will toss this children's waste product on the floor and set up my HD camera to show how easy it is to smash the brightly lit screen into pieces and relieve myself of trash which Apple sell to unsuspecting gullible humans who believe that they are not being tricked by such a nice company who produce shiny colourful gadgets which only work for a month or two before becoming 100% obsolete.
    Great to hear from those who have wasted many months of their lives and discovered how to trick the system into doing a simple update operation!
    I am insulted by the tricks that fool many and that apple pretend are "necessary".

    Illaass, your help is amazing - miles better than anyone working in this part of the world who is paid - and you do this for free - because, like me, you LOVE to help people!
    BUT, as I said above -
    1. There is nothing "mobile" under Application Support. For whatever reason.
    2. Devious - that Apple has set up iPod to not show in Finder - a red herring and sign that corruption is visible.
    I will try iFunBox next and it sounds like they provide this for the more serious users but use a trivial name to excuse further strangeness.

    and so we are back to where we always land - the user is left in the Apple designed sabotage situation which annoyed me so much initially.
    "Most users will give up at this point, loose all the data or buy yet another disposable from Apple. Less than 3% will work their way to this site and 90% of the 3% will leave the iPod to gather dust in the hope that someone will help later. In all, Apple gains, since people blame themselves for "mistakes" which Apple programmed to throw out users who do not take the 100% Apple path. But Illaass and myself still play the game of "trying to fix" something which Apple don't allow."  was the comment which I was going to write but decided against it, adding no value to the conversation other than explaining one reality which we all hoped could be wrong but which I thought to have a very high chance of being closer to the truth.
    Apologies for my doubts towards the integrity of the creators.

    Recheck: Under Application Support "mobilesync" folder has appeared (MobileMeSyncClient has also appeared [while again trying to update iPod] with zero size) - Good news, a Backup file is there, but it is only 3GB while my iPod has 32GB and is close to full (800MB free space).

    The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).
    More Infomation    OK
    So it looks like I may have lost all the important pictures documenting various items all around Europe for the last two years - luckily I moved a year ago from the iPod toy camera to a Panasonic real camera with SD card which can be read on any computer. Hence important items lost may only be older than one year rather than the most recent items.
    Glad I have changed to Panasonic since they don't try to screw you when you don't use their system.
    I will now check the "more information" rather than just click on "OK" since I am of the 3% who "don't accept cr*p".
    For full information I quote that the iPod now shows a screen with a USB ikon, an upward arrow and an iTunes ikon (all micky mouse language which reduces transparant, clear and technical discussion and thus covers the trail of "where things went wrong").
    The iPod is still attached to the computer but the above MMTALK may mean that the iPod should be attached via USB to the mac. I record much of this activity on Video to be able to later prove EXACTLY what occurred, rather than having to rely on screenshots and opinions. We are after all dealing with important items which may later be required to be shown in court, as evidence against fraudsters.
    The "More Information" link leads to
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    which I have already seen before.
    I clicked on OK and a help screen (unnamed as ever because no one like myself demanded that the help screens be named for later discussion) arrived:

    And I presume the earlier message about helping Apple is gone because I keep getting interrupted by this message called

    ok
    it has appeared now at least six times interferring with anything else I do. Each time I try to write, this message appears and blocks, but only when I write. I tried to do a carriage return and the message appeared taking the carriage return as acceptance of the OK in the

    Message. But since I have not removed the USB and keep returning to this message I am able to write for a few seconds (now 30 seconds or more) and the message remains on the screen but not blocking this conversation. It appears to be random but in fact as you can later see from the video, it is not reappearing each periodic number of seconds but as I reach a new comment.
    I will try to close iTunes so that this can be stopped (I clicked on OK and it appeared another few times, each time I clicked on ok and now it has left me in peace to write here although iTunes is still not yet closed).
    Difficult to log down all the strange behaviour but I think you can get the gist of what is going on.

    Should I remove the iPod and stop iTunes? I have a nasty feeling turning to indifference since I have video footage which will verify all the above in a court of law if later required. The truth must always win over any devious attempts at forcing people to do things they don't want to ;-)

    My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back.  It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

    Wow!  I think I had this same issue just last night.
    I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside.  Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly.  It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle.  Of course I took no pictures!!!  I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
    But I digress...  The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect.  After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though.  There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top.  After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen.  I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background.  After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle.  After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange.  But I believe that might be all in my head now.
    So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • Does anyone know how to authroize my computer in order to play my songs??

    Does anyone know how to authorize my computer in order to play my songs??

    For songs, this should only happen to songs purchased from the iTunes Store that were purchase more than a few years ago, when the songs had DRM (copy protection).  More recent song purchases from the iTunes Store do not have DRM.
    To authorize your computer, from the iTunes menu bar, under Store, select Authorize This Computer.  When prompted, enter the Apple ID (with password) used to purchase the songs.  If your currently used Apple ID is different, one computer can be authorized for more than one Apple ID, so that is not a problem.
    Each Apple ID can be authorized with up to five computers (including computers you no longer have but did not deauthorize).  If you have reached that limit, please post back.

  • I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system.  Now' I cannot write on my Contacts or Calendar apps, and my Pages app (purchased) has lost the ability to use the bold, underline, and italics functions.  Does anyone know how to fix these

    I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system.  Now, I cannot add to my contacts or calendar apps, and Pages ( which I purchased) is not allowing me to use the bold, underline, and italics functions.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    No, it stays with the current OS (iOS5 in this case) - Apple doesn't allow downgrading iOS
    If you are syncing to a desktop, you shoudln't lose anything. If you aren't syncing, then that's the first thing you should do, to protect contacts etc.
    the other thing is, when the iPad is connected to iTunes, right-click its name in the Devices list and choose Back Up.
    That way, when yoiu do the restore, everything should come back as was.

    The Huntress,
    I am aware of the Terms of Use of this forum.
    On the contrary I suggested NOT to go on that route.
    Didn't provide support didn't discuss, just mentioned.
    Also mentioned the risk of losing warranty, performance and battery life.
    Our friend Vince will probably find a solution like the one I mentioned and that's the reason I mentioned that there is availabl, BUT NOT recommended.
    I am not an native english speaker, but I think it is quite obvious that the post is against jailbreaking.

    Apple wanted to charge me 50 bucks jsut to talk to someone! 
    I believe you may be referring to the $49 ASL agreement at AppleCare? That is only when/if you are out of AppleCare Protection.
    Can you get to an AppleStore Genius Bar?
    They may be able to fix this for you. No charge.
    I highly doubt that. There is a $70 charge for troubleshooing software issues, EVEN IF there is AppleCare Warranty on the hardware.
    However, since there is no charge for an appointment at a Bar, go make one, and see what options they give you. Let us know how it goes.
