Does anyone know what information Silverlight "really" collects?

I have been watching movies that required the Silverlight plugin ~ not realizing that Microsoft has a huge disclaimer. They don't show to you when you download the silverlight plugin, that would just be absurd, I just stumbled upon it by accident. It's a little disturbing when you read the info. It doesn't import your personal info, just your ip address, computer id, websites you visited, downloads (your private stuff in you email ~ not just off the web) etc. I'm surprised it doesn't ask for your 1st born.
So, yet again, I ask. AM I JUST BEING PARANOID OR IS THIS REALLY NOT COOL?

I'm not seeing what this has to do with iTunes for Mac (this really is a technical question forum).
Is that really all that much different from all the information Google saves on what web searches you have made, or all the Facebook privacy controversies? Welcome to the Information Age. If you don't like Silverlight saving that data then don't use it (I'm not being mean -- I don't like it so I don't use it).

AVI is a legacy file container originated by Microsoft back in 1992 and which has not been officially supported for more than a decade. Like the container, many of the codecs commonly used to create AVI content are also "legacy" compression formats most often supported on PC/Windows platforms. In fact, some codecs have never been transcoded for Mac use. Of those that have, many never made the transition to Mac OS X or the transition to Intel-based platforms. Those codecs that are still supported on the Mac can normally be found in the avi to quicktime converter available as an online download. While some common AVI compression formats may be supported by the QT X Player app, QT 7 currently provides a more compatible AVI playback environment for most "legacy" compression formats. If the codec(s) used in your AVI files are not supported by the avi to quicktime converter for QT use, you can try the VLC media player which may still support more esoteric compression formats. If VLC does not support the files, the normal approach is to discover which specific audio and/or video codecs were used to create the file and perform an Internet search to see if a compatible Mac component is available for download.

My ipod touch 4g has been running really slow, lagging, and a ton of apps are running slow and crashing, does anyone know what's wrong?

Its not jailbroken, does anyone know whats wrong?

Did you try to reset the device by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, set it up as new device, explained here:

got your message about making sure to use the machine specific disk that came with my machine. Unfortunately, Apple no longer sells Tiger replacement disks. I've got a couple of bids out on ebay, and will update when I have news to add to this post.
Thank you for your help, Frank!
To be clear you called the 800 number and explained what the situation was, old machine and lost the original DVD's?
Just checking because if you just called and tried to buy the DVD's they might tell you they no longer sell them but you aren't really trying to buy them your trying to replace the ones that are missing.
Ebay may work but there is a certain specificity to the DVD's required which, even if they seem right, might not work.
Good luck either way. If you get a chance when you get the DVD's I'd be interested in hearing how it all works out.

Sold my Iphone 5. THe person who brought it has an Irish simcard and so it wont accept it. Does anyone know what I need to do to get it open to the Irish simcard?

I purchased and Iphone 5 directly from apple, sim free over 12 months ago now. I have been using the phone on Vodafone with no issues. I have now upgraded to the Iphone 6 and therefore sold on the Iphone to a friend of mine. He lives in Ireland and therefore has a Vodafone Ireland simcard. Given that the phone was brought sim free from Apple directly, we didn't foresee that this would be an issue. However, when he goes to activate the phone, this message appears;
The SIM card inserted in the iPhone does not appear to be supported.
The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iPhone is from a carrier that is not supported under the activation policy that is currently assigned by the activation server. This is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information.
Does anyone know what I need to do? I have got onto Vodafone, and they have been useless!! Apple say the phone is out of the 12 month warranty and therefore want to charge £25 before they will even speak to me about it. I requested an NUC from Vodafone, however, they are saying they need a proof of purchase from Apple as I did not buy the phone from them. I do not have my receipt anymore as the purchase was over 12 months ago now.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks,
Phill

Now you have discovered that a sim free phone and an unlocked phone are NOT the same thing. Had you purchased an unlocked phone from Apple, then you would not have had problems and as it is, a sim free phone is not the same and sim free will lock to the first sim card that you insert into the phone, so effectively, you phone has been locked to Vodafone and this is why you now have problems.
If your phone is locked to Vodafone, then they are the only ones who can unlock the phone for you - Apple does not and cannot unlock phone - this is the province of the carriers only.
You had the contract with Vodafone when you used the phone and so you need to keep on at them to unlock the phone for you. If they still require proof of purchase and you cannot give them this and they will not unlock the phone for you, then this phone is useless to the friend that you sold it to - he will never be able to use it and basically, you are looking at giving him a refund for the phone for the amount that he paid you for it.
You need to keep on at Vodafone to unlock the phone for you or give your friend a refund for the phone as it will be useless to him and he will never be able to use the phone.
Hope that you now understand that a SIM Free phone and an Unlocked phone are NOT the same and I hope that when you purchased your iPhone 6, that you bought an unlocked phone?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) will not read an SD card in the SDXC card reader. Does anyone know whats going on?

Hi David. I don't have as modern a Macbook Pro as you, mine is a 2012 model, but perhaps I can help. I often find that my SD card will not load when I first insert it. I have to remove it and then put it into the slot again firmly.
You also haven't posted any information about the SD card. What size is it, do you know how it is formatted, has it worked in that same mac previously, where did it come from, does it currently work in another device (such as your camera)? This sort of information will help to narrow down the problem.
If you post some more information I'm sure people will try to help you. In the meantime, if you look at your post again you should see "More Like This" at the bottom of the page and you may find an answer in some of those related posts.
Hope that helps.

Does anyone know what to do about iCal colors changing.

Does anyone know what to do about iCal colors changing. Ever since ios7 came out I have many problems. I kind of feel like Apple has become Microsoft at twice the price?? Anyway, today all my calendars (iPhone, iPad, iCloud and on my Mac) all changed colors from the customer colors I had set. I have about 5 calendars.
I was able to change them back on my Mac, my iphone and my ipad, but not in iCloud. Once each of the ones I changed updates / syncs it reverts to the incorrect colors again. I have tested back and forth, and it is definetly coming out of the iCloud.com. The web site will not let me chance colors, so once it updates / sync, all my other devices and calendars sync to the purple in iCloud.
I could go on and on about my frustrations with the apparent lack to testing, and the irony around Microsoft and their "bugs". It is more important that I find a cure, as this is really annoying.
Has anyone else seen this today

Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

Recently I was adding music to my Ipod Touch and charging it, afterwards, my Itunes was missing music, does anyone know what happend?

A few days ago, I plugged my ipod touch into my computer to charge it, and also add new music I purchased. When I unplugged the USB cable ( I disconnected it from the ipod first, as I was told to do) I went to look through my music. There was a notification, I don't remember what it said verbatum, but the gist was "177 songs could not be properly synced onto your device". Now, I'm missing music from my itunes library. For example, I purchased two full albums from the same band, now over half the songs from the albums are just gone, they are no longer on my ipod or itunes. Does anyone know what happend, and/or how I can fix this? Please and thank you
P.S. This happend after installing itunes 6, I've noticed many other people are also having problems with it as well

Could be several things. Without more information like what was the wording of the error message I will not even guess.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Does anyone know what is causing this error please?

I recently ran sfc /scannow. It completed without giving me any notifications other than a number of:
"Files that are required for Windows to run properly must be copied to the DLL cache."
I was prompted to insert my XP SP3 installation CD and click on 'retry'.
The scan lasted for around 40 minutes then closed.......at no stage was I advised that it had been unsuccessful.
When I restarted my computer directly afterwards, half way through booting a 'please wait' appeared, as if something was taking place.
I thought all had gone well until I looked in Event Viewer later. There are approximately 90 Windows File Protection entries there mostly with the following information:
The system file ........ could not be copied into the DLL cache. The specific error code is 0x800b0100 [No signature was present in the subject]. This file is necessary to maintain system stability.
Does anyone know what causes that error and what I need to do to resolve it please?

Thank you very much for helping.
I have already tried to run the Microsoft Fix it from there for XP SP3, the os I have>>>>>>>"This troubleshooter does not apply to your system. We're sorry, but this troubleshooter is not compatible with your current system's configuration."
That was the only Microsoft information I could find on the specific error code I received: 0x800b0100......although the article applies to Microsoft Updates, I thought it might cover this too.
I have now run SFC three times, but errors still showed in Event Viewer.
I regularly run Chkdsk, last few times no errors.
I am actually having my computer checked for malware right now by specialist malware removers......all the malware scans I regularly run have given me the all clear for some time (McAfee Stinger, Hitman Pro, Malwarebytes - MBAM, TDSSKiller) but there has
been malware on my computer in the past, which was removed (not serious I was told).
In two of the scans the techs asked me to carry out there are
hundreds of dll cache entries under
Files/Folders - Created Within 30 Days on the date I run SFC.
I am waiting for this to be confirmed, but it looks to me as if SFC was actually successful to a large extent and the entries in Event Viewer are some failures (not all as I previously thought)?
I also have a serious problem in relation to Microsoft Updates (please see my other question).

Does anyone know what does the keyword section do?

Does anyone know what does the keyword section do? Under "Any of the webpages -> Properties -> Basic tab -> Tags/Keywords"?
Is it used for part of the google search?

Its tagging (Classification), one of the bright feature of any content management system. It allows author to classify the content in system. There are various advantages but i would refer you to go through http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/wcm/tag_admin.html. Apart from that you can search in google as well to find relative information about classification in content management system.

I was using iMovie yesterday and it was working. But today when it started it doesn't show anything in the window on the left. No events, no projects, nothing. It's blank and so is the rest of the screen. Does anyone know what my problem might be?

I was using iMovie yesterday and it was working perfectly. But today when it started it doesn't show anything in the window on the left. No events, no projects, nothing. It's blank and so is the rest of the screen. Does anyone know what my problem might be?
Where does the imovie.library reside? where do the events and projects reside?

Hi winkydb,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you do not see the events or clips you were working with previously, first see if you can switch back to the library you were using with this method:
Show or hide the Libraries list
You select libraries and events in the Libraries list.
To show the Libraries list: Click the Show button on the left side of the toolbar.
The default location for iMovie libraries is the Movies folder in your home folder.
You can find this information here:

Using OS10.7, my hard disc is full. When I go to "About this Mac - Storage" almost all of the HD is occupied by "Other". Does anyone know what "Other" is so that I can remove some of it?

Using OS10.7, my hard disc is full. When I go to "About this Mac - Storage", it shows that it is entirely filled with "Other". Does anyone know what "Other" is so that I can delete some of it?

First, reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data.
Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space.
Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root.
First, back up all data if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.
