Email virus that says check this out

My wife got an email from a friend that said "check this out". Of course she opened it and now she cannot use Facebook--any ideas on what this is and how to fix it?

When you first download Pages, there is a welcome screen with a check mark, in a box, at the bottom left corner that says show this window when Pages opens. How do I recheck that box?

When I open iTunes on my Macbook Pro, I am now getting a small window that says "Checking iTunes Library" with a pinwheel. This goes on for 5-10 minutes before I am able to access iTunes. Help! How do I fix this?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

IP5 set up with all options...however new emails OLD like 13-14 years old have arrived in the IN BOX that say no "this message has no content", and I am not able to delete them. Any helpful ideas?

Hi 23672!
I have an article here that can definitely help you with that issue. The article is about what to do when a mail message has no content, and can be found here:
iOS 4: Unable to view message body preview or mail receives blank messages

Note that the article was written for iOS 4, but it will work in later iOS versions. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Delete function--check this out

hey I pretty much just started with Ipod and Itunes.
The first time you delete a song from your Ipod or Itunes library it prompts you to let you know you are deleting something and make sure you're not accidentally you're deleting something you want. Underneath that theres a small checkbox and next to the box it says "Check this box to not recieve this message again," or something to that effect. Stupid me, I checked this box and now its really easy to delete files from my Ipod, if I accidentally hit backspace or delete it deletes the song forever. luckily i have most these files backed up. Still I would like to return to the default setting of having Itunes prompt me before I delete a file...is there any easy way of doing this?
Thanks,
newbie

HT1420 Where can I find the button from the store menu that says "Authorize this Computer"?

I looked up how to authorize a computer and I found the answer, but I can't find the button that says Authorize this computer!

"It is not actually in the iTunes Store, it is in the Store menu of iTunes."
Yeah, that makes PERFECT sense! /sarcasm
Not in the iTunes store, dummy, it's in the Store menue of iTunes.
ED2345, I'm not making fun of you; Apple should be clarifying this stuff on their help pages!!!
The Apple help site says nothing like this; it simply says to go to the Store and select "Authorize this computer". Had it not been for ED2345 mentioning the CTRL+B trick, I probably would NEVER have found it.
Why can't Apple quit moving stuff around in iTunes? Just when I think I have things figured out, an update comes along and EVERYTHING IS IN A DIFFERENT PLACE!
I love my iPhone and my iPad - but I truly despise iTunes for this reason.
So I simply say to Apple, "STOP IT!!!"

Firefox opens with a window that says "Checking for compatibility for Add-ons" then it always opens 2 tabs... one with my home page and one that says Congratulations, Firefox is up to date. How can I stop it from starting that way?

Hi konee,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

Hey guys check this out!!

I though that Tiger was only able to run in apples pcs I guess not....this is crazy.
Check this out http://os-emulation.net/pearpc/web/tiger.html I have never seen this before Have you guys?

PearPC is a Mac emulator. It creates a virtual Mac on the Windows box, similar to (but the opposite of) Microsoft's Virtual PC for Mac.
I'd guess it's slow and unreliable, but certainly possible.

HTT x4 , i try`d les aggressive timings and lower HTT but 255 is the max with 3.3 vdimm, unless i get a booster they wont go further.... not worth it, might as well get a Gig of something that can match these speed ands timings.... Well thats what im hoping anyway.

I am trying to install an update of Microsoft office and I get a message that says. This application must be closed ETC..... I am running Parralell and I think it is there. The two programs are "Microsoft Database Daemon" "SyncServicesAgent"....

I am trying to install an update of Microsoft office and I get a message that says. This application must be closed ETC..... I am running Parralell and I think it is there. The two programs are "Microsoft Database Daemon" "SyncServicesAgent". How do I close these programs?

If the Office updates have to be run through Win in Parallels, there's not really a section here that covers that , because Neither Office or Parallels are Apple products. There is only a small chance that you'll find someone with BOTH your conditions who just happend to look into a forum on older iMacs.
Parallels has a forum here:

I think you'll get a faster response there.

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone' The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library?

When I try to sync my music on my iPhone 4 I have a tab at the top that says 'on this iPhone'. This is at the end of all the other tabs like info, ringtones, music etc. The music in that tab is always on my phone but does not show in my itunes library. How can I get it into my library? It doesn't sync either.

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting?

When I plug my ipod in I am able to add song to it but the tab that says "on this ipod" no longer shows up so I cannot remove things from my ipod or anything like that. How do I change this weird setting? On other computers this shows up fine so it is clearly a problem with itunes and not my ipod.

I am from Canada, why can't I purchase iTunes with my PayPal? I want to request that iTunes works this out for Canadians.

After renaming my MAC hard drive, Acrobat, Illustrator and Bridge fail to launch. Acrobat returns the error message "An internal error occurred". I've checked this out and it seems related to user permissions. The version is Acrobat X. My machine has multiple user accounts. Any help would be appreciated. I renamed the drive to its original name but to no effect. RR

I resolved the issue.
The problem is indeed a permissions issue with the Adobe Application Support folder.
First, in MAC OS Lion the ~/Library/ folder is hidden by default. You must unhide it in order to proceed. (if it is already visible in your ~/User/ folder, proceed to Step 4.)
Next launch the Terminal application.
At the command line, paste the following command line: chflags nohidden ~/Library/
Go to /Users/youruserid/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Get info on the ~/Adobe folder and reset your permissions to read/write and apply to all enclosed folders
Problem solved. RR

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
