I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

I have an external hard drive and it randomly stopped being detected on my macbook pro

Hi, I've got a seagate backup plus external hard drive that randomly stopped being detected by my macbook pro for no reason. I've tried it on my friends macbook pro and it works fine, his macbook is just about identical to my macbook. Help would be apprieciated!

Here's my lo-tech solution (if you have Parallels) to this frustrating problem:
Eject your hard drive.
Unplug (USB) your hard drive from the MAC .
Start Parallels.
When Windows has started, plug your drive back into the MAC.
You should get a little screen asking if you want the drive to be utilized by MAC or Windows. Select Windows.
Use Windows to copy your files over to the hard drive.
This is less than ideal and not a long-term solution, but I was afraid of attempting any reformatting since I have many files on my hard drive.
Just remember that Windows has to be running first, before you plug in your hard drive.

Hello once again.. i have formatted my external Hard drive it using exFAT, now my windows cant detect my device, can u plzz help me the whole purpose is getting ruined, i use Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

hello once again.. i have formatted my external Hard drive it using exFAT, now my windows cant detect my device, can u plzz help me the whole purpose is getting ruined, i use Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

This is a problem with the Mac OS X implementation of exFAT. I've had the same problem.
Best is to use a Windows box to format the drive exFAT. Then it can be read by both Windows and Mac OS.
But aren't Macs supposed to "Just Work"? Not in this case.

Recently i uncheck the box i tune wifi sync and tried to connect my usb cable to my macbook, now i tune cant detect my i phone at all!! Pls help as i cant sync my i phone anymore!

Recently i unchecked the box i tune wifi sync and try to connect my i phone using the usb cable provided. Now my macbook cant detect my phone, help!! I cant sync my phone anymore....

The update did not do anything.
AT&T cannot and will not do anything, they do not provide support for iPhones, Apple does.
The issue is not with the iPhone or iOS if you've reset network settings and tried forgetting the Wi-Fi Network, it is specific to the network.
Check the settings on the router, try disabling the security settings first... that will clarify the issue is not with the device but rather the Network.

My webcam is not detected on my macbook pro 2010

Hi everyone, my macbook pro doesn't recognize the webcam even in the system. Also I do have the windows7 also on the laptop. I wonder if it is the cause on the problem. Should I delete the windows7. I bought the laptop from my friend and he cannot resolve the problem too. So webcam is not detected at all and is mising in the system. Please advise. Thanks.

> I cant detect a webcam and supposedly theres one built in.
>I have looked in the control panel and hardware device manager but theres nothing there for a webcam.
Hi in some BIOS version there is an additional option to enable the webcam.
Please check the BIOS.
If the BIOS would not provide such option well, in such case I would assume that your webcam module is faulty.
If the webcam module would be OK, then you should see something in the device manager even if the driver/software would not be installed.
You know...

It installed and rebooted three times, sot it's obvious it was intentional.
Usually firmware updates are for the hardware itself to fix things and to prepare for features of the next operating system.
You see, I have it too and I'm on 10.6.8 with a Early 2011, the reason I haven't installed it is because it's been constantly changing and causing people issues like this fellow.
EFI 2.1, then 2.2, then 2.3 and now it's 2.7? LOL

JMF cant detect more than one camera

hiiii to all
1 ) in my program that list all devices (webcams) connected to my DELL laptop ( windows xp2 ) and choose one to capture from
it detects only one cam that is embeded in my lap when i connected another cam
it lists only the embeded cam and not detect the external connected cam although i capture from it with my program on other pc
i tried also JMF registry to detect capture devices it also detect the embeded cam only
2 ) also i tried to run the program on another HP laptop (windows vista business) and cant detect any devices(audio,video)
Is JMF conflict with widows vista?
really need answer for these 2 questions
thanks in advance

I'll answer your first round of Flex questions, but they are off-topic for this forum because they have nothing to do with Java...but I'll answer these for you.
how about adobe flex? is it possible with desktop applications using socket programming ?
or it is used on web pages only ?Flex is a web-based or Desktop application architecture...
and how about its capabilities ? easy to use or not ?Dunno, never used it. The code I saw looked pretty simple, it uses something called "ActionScript" to function, which looks a lot like JavaScript.
When I looked into it, I never had any doubt that I'd be able to write an application in it.
can i use both JMF, Adobe flex in same application efficiently ?No, they are completely different things, you can't mix them into the same application. It's certainly possible to transmit data back and forth between a Flex application and a JMF application, but they would be separate applications.
If you have any other questions about Flex, you'll need to find an Adobe Flex forum to ask them in...

RAID 2 external HHD problems HELP!!!

I tried to RAID 2 external HHD (first one EZ-Deck2 with 2 TB and 2nd is DYNEX with 3 TB) and both got messed up, as soon as connect them, the iMac will crash, could anyone please tell me how I can recover my files from them, I thank you in advance.

Hi,
The Adaptec software you mention is only for OS8.6-9.2, not for OSX. Do you have Jaguar or Panther also installed on the same machine? If so, if you boot into Jaguar, do you see the HD in Apple System Profiler? Have you tried setting the HD SCSI id to something other than 0?
I recently had a similar issue w/an Adaptec 29160 and an HP tape drive. Everything worked fine in Jaguar. The Adaptec card not only showed up in Apple System Profile (ASP) in Jaguar (10.2.8), but the specific version of the firmware and driver were reported correctly. The same card in Panther (10.3.9) also showed up in ASP, but the firmware and driver version nos. were not reported correctly, but rather just binary addresses were displayed. Under Tiger the same card also only showed these binary addresses in ASP for the Adaptec card's firmware and driver version nos. The backup software did not work though under Tiger. I had to swap the Adaptec card for an ATTO SCSI card. Then the backup to the HP tape drive worked again.
I'd look to see if the SCSI HD you have has drivers specifically written for Tiger and see if installing them will result in the HD being detected.
Good luck!

How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

Why is my hard disk not detected in my macbook, but detected in others

I'm using the Macbook 13" Retina Display with OS Mavericks
about a few days ago, when i inserted my PQI H568V my mac gave statement "the disc you inserted was not readable by this computer"
then i choose the ignore button(if i'm not mistaken).
Then the next day, when i wanted to check for my files, my macbook cannot recognise the hard drive.
But when i plug it in into other mac, it can be recognised and the data is all still there.
please help me! thanks

Yes, I have done the backup.
Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch, Late 2013
OS X 10.9.5
Not only in other mac, but i've tried to mount it in other laptops, it's also being detected. However it isn't detected in my macbook only.
After I chose the ignore button, I didn't do anything, but I only shut down my mac and then unplugged the hard disk.
After a few days, i notice this from my disk utility
That's what shown on my Log at Disk Utility.
What should I do now?

IMac external hhd does not open on networked windows 8.1 pc

Hi there
I hav a 2008 iMac with OS 10.10 and it has three external HHD that are networked to my windows pc. I can see the icons on my pc but when I click on a drive it will not open. In fact it can crash windows explorer and pc has trouble turning off or restarting even logging off. I think I have the correct setting on the mac and pc. I can see and open the shared folders on the mac from the pc but can not open the drives. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. Driving me mad.
Thanks for any help

Hi Gottfried,
No, I have not found a solution yet. Because I don't have any issues when I am running Fiddler2, I did some research on that program. On their website, they say the problem (that Fiddler fixes) is usually caused by applications sending the GetResponseStream()
method but failing to call close on the resulting object. The maximum connections-per-host is then reached. But, I don't know if Win7 and Win8 handle SharePoint requests differently - I'm guessing that they do.
According to our service provider, this is a bug in the combination that we are running (Win8 and SP2013 w/SSL). They have more than 20,000 customers and can't get it to work! I have went through their level 1,2 and 3 support teams who all could not solve
it.
I am surprised that you got it to work in your internal environment - do you also have port 80 (in addition to 443) accepting requests? I have no problem at all when using no encryption. On the public site I have a valid certificate and internally
using self-signed. (No different than when I was running SP2010). I have tried different combinations of authentication methods and ordering, but nothing worked.
Hopefully, somebody can provide some insight into what might be going on here, so that you and I can get this working. It has become a major problem in our company and our employees are starting to revert back to alternative services to share files.

Transferring data from external hard drive to new replacement Macbook Pro...

Hello,
Apple have arranged to give me a replacement Macbook Pro due to faults with hardware on the one I am currently using. I will be going to pick up the replacement Macbook Pro tomorrow morning.
As a complete novice I just wanted to check that I have backed up the data from my current laptop onto my Iomega external hard drive properly, as I am slightly nervous about losing all my work and not being able to transfer all my files onto my new Macbook Pro tomorrow.
I did a back up using time machine earlier today which took quite a long time and seemed to go successfully. Is this the right thing to have done to save all data from my current laptop onto the external hard drive?
Will transferring data from the external hard drive onto my new Macbook Pro be a simple task?
Will I have to reinstall all my software such as Logic and Pro Tools? Also will my preferences and settings for music software be changed?
I'd greatly appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Deena

Well it's like this.
If your problem on the Mac didn't affect the software or the TimeMachine backup, then restoring from that using SetupAssistant (when you first set up a new Mac it will ask you to restore) should go fine.
HOWEVER, if there are software issues on the Mac that also transferred to the TimeMachine drive, that will only transfer them back onto your new computer.
You can't very easily just pick out the things you want to restore from TimeMachine with, it doesn't give that fine detail of control, and if it's really messed up, it might not restore anything at all.
The golden rule of backups is to maintain two separate and easily accessible hardware copies of your data off the machine at all times.
Since you don't know for sure if the TimeMachine restore is going to work as intended, and your only other source is going to disappear, I'd advise a additional backup of your Music, Documents, Pictures and Movie folders etc., to another regular external drive via regular drag and drop copy methods.
The operating system and programs can all be reinstalled from fresh sources on the new machine, provided you have the AppleID and password, license codes for your programs, email passwords and any other necessary information to re-establish the license on the new machine.
(In some cases licensed software HAS NOT transferred to a new machine with a TimeMachine restore and had to be reinstalled)
Some times you have to contact the developer or "uninstall" the licensed program so it sends a signal to their servers that the program has been removed, else your license code may not work on the new machine.
You might decide the new machine would be better off with a fresh install of your programs that you know are 100% compatible with Lion etc., leaving a lot of older stuff you installed over the years off the new machine, if you restore from TimeMachine, you don't have this option. You pretty much get all the crap along for the ride,
If your new machine gets all crapped up, then restoring Lion is going to going to be a tough challenge, as you need a strong reliable Internet connection to download a fresh copy of Lion from Apple servers (no more disks). Once you do that, then somehow you have to use third party software ($$) to cherry pick your files out of TimeMachines trap. More headaches than you anticpated, and likely a charge by a specialist.
So I'd advise another hard drive with a copy of just your files, just in case a crap-up occurs
You can restore Lion yourself if it craps up, install programs from fresh sources as you know how to do, use the old license codes and then return your files manually exactly back into their same Music, Pictures, Documents, and Movies (etc, not Library) folders as before.
The key to this manual method is to make sure to use the same user name as before, so all your file location data pathnames retained by program files like iTunes to where the songs are located on the drive, are matched. Once you open these programs and restablish the links in OS X, then you can move them around.
Some tricks, if you use iPhoto, you can right click "show package contents" and inside is a folder with your Originals, copy that out and you can reimport your pictures into the new iPhoto Library on the new machine.
So use TM if you dare, but prepared to do things manually is my opinion.
TM restores have not been all that reliable or dependable, the more messed up your machine is, the worst the restore seems to be.
Good Luck
