Does anyone know what is Little Snitch and is it safe to use

I had an email from a friend who mentioned about Little Snitch to prevent keyloggers, is it safe to use. If it is not I can relay this information back to my friend
who was just about to install this software. Prevention is better than cure
Thanks

The way to prevent keyloggers is to not allow anybody else admin access to your Mac, since that's about the only way a keylogger could get there.
What Little Snitch will do is prevent a keylogger that is installed on your Mac from communicating to the outside world over your network.
I've been using it since v1.0, I believe and it's very safe as long as you know what you are doing. I would also mention that it's a bit of a PITA to initially set up as it will ask your permission for almost every appication and process that needs to communicate over your network. You will find some processes that you aren't aware of that must be given permission or they won't work. You will probalby need to Google some of them to find out exactly what they are before making a decision.

Iphone6 doesn't play music (have tried obvious things like volume etc and plugged in headphones, connected to a speaker via bluetooth, and tried to play from the inbuilt speaker). Does anyone know what the problem is and how it can be resolved?

You can't buy the part from Creative as a spare.
I'm not sure how compatible other parts might be, but that would be a question for someone who really knows a lot about this area of electronics.
The Creative repair for this is likely to be expensi've, but the problem is most likely a broken solder connection than an actual new headphone socket. So if you know someone experienced in surface mount soldering you could probably get it repaired just with this.

Hello Norman,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. To find out what the Other section is on your iPod Nano, the following will explain what the Other section is all about.

Once that is complete, then check the appropriate sections to see what is there. If you cannot isolate the issue then you may need to restore the iPod Nano. The following will assist with the restore process.

I cannot update my software because I have too much 'other' GB space. Does anyone know what the 'other' is and how do I get rid of it?

My iphone won't charge and won't play music anymore. I have tried reseting it and switching it off. Have tried 3 different chargeres and even a car charger. Does anyone know what could be wrong and how I can fix it?

I have an iPhone 4 not quite 2 years old. 2 nights ago my iPhone was on its charger and it kept vibrating as if it was being disconnected and re-connected from the charger. When I looked at it had an "error" message but now I don't know what that was as it was 3am and I was half asleep. I just diconnected the charger and the battery read fully charged.
The my volume wouldn't go up or down. The box with "ringer" in it came up but no bars at the bottom to show the volume is increasing or decreasing. It would not play music out of the speakers either even though the screen showed it was playing and it would not work in our dock/speaker unless I used bluetooth and even then, if we touched the volume button on the dock it would switch off.
I tried a "hard" reset 3 times and tried switching it off and on 3 times with no success.
I tried 3 different chargers including a car charger, plus the speaker dock with no success.
It is now out of battery and I cannot charge it.
The iPhone also would not back anything up prior to the battery going flat.
I just need to know if it is fixable or do I need to start looking for a new phone?

I had a problem for over a year and now it's fixed. Does anyone know what caused the problem and what fixed it?

Here's the original problem
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/890221?esab=a&s=&r=2&as=s
It seems to have finally been fixed in firefox 22 (or 21). I'd love to know what the original cause of the problem was and whether it was fixed by firefox or OS X

I dont think any bugs were filed like this, likely something Apple fixed.

HT201413 after downloading 2 albums ifind that most of the tunes only play for a short while and then switches to another tune does anyone know what the problem is and how to rectify it?

Hello there ive just downloaded 2 albums from itunes store and found that they only play for a short while and then flips onto another tune which again only plays for short while so on and so forth which makes the albums completely useless does anyone have a solution?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Driver missing from Q10. When I link my Q10 to Blackberry Link and try to sync my music etc a notice appears telling me that a driver is missing. Does anyone know what driver this is and how to download it? I have downloaded all recent updates but I still

Solved!
Go to Solution.

A little more info would help, such as do you have a PC or Mac ?
What is your computer OS ?
Assuming you have a PC, go to Control Panel, Device Manager, see if there are any yellow exclamation marks.
If there are click the + to expand, right click the driver and choose update.
If that does not work you can try these: https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/contactFormPreload.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB06...
But I do think you may have some conflict on your computer.
Are there any other issues with your computer ?

My iPod touch 5th generation (iOS 6) has determiined my location numerous time before, however, now it does not. I am in the same location so thats not the issue. Does anyone know what the problem is and a possible solution?

Anyone?

For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod cant see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.

Does anyone know what .hang files are and if I should delete them?

Apparently I shouldn't use Symantec Anti-Virus, but I just ran it and it showed a long list of files that ended in .hang which it said it could not scan. Any clue? Also, after reading other posts, I'm trying to uninstall AV which is a bit of frustration. The reason I ran it in the first place is because Safari and Mail are acting very strange -- Mail is not remembering passwords and Safari is not playing Hulu videos. Twilight zone. Any help will be hugely appreciated.

I'm not sure if this is it, but it says MAC OS X 10.6.8. He told me the DRAFTS box has also disappeared. Cheers.

My dad clicked something in his email and now all his old emails are coming into the inbox.I deleted them but they keep coming back. Does anyone know what he did wrong and how to fix it? thanks!

Every time I try to download a game onto my phone, there's a pop-up which reads "the item requested is not available in your country" or something along those lines. Does anyone know what the problem is and how I can fix it?

I can download games onto my iphone 5 cause it says the items are not available in my country (south Africa) is there something I can do?

Other than moving to a country where the apps you want are available, there is no fix.

Does anyone know what the icon is at the top of my phone by the battery,It is a lock with a circle around it??

Does anyone know what the little lock with a circle around it for on my phone?

Orientation lock, keeps the screen from rotating. You can turn it on and off by swiping up from any screen.
Actually, not entirely correct. It's the Portrait Orientation lock. It won't lock landscape orientation, as can the iPad Orientation Lock
