Firefox asked out of the blue if I would want to download afr.php - what is this?

I forgot to take screen dumps to document. afr.php was described as a text file and I thought I'd have a look at it. However, firefox warned that it was a script, so I aborted the download. A hacker attack??

> A hacker attack??
Probably. I can't say how or why that happened, but it's what I guess:
A malware tried to open a PHP script on your local system, and it seems, you did not have a WebServer + PHP setup on your system, so the script didn't execute, instead, Firefox assumed it's a downloadable file and asked if you want to download it.

- Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try syncing the iPod to your computer. Then delete from iTunes and sync. that should delete it from the iPod. Then redownload it.

''Gmail stopped working out of the blue.''
It would certainly help if you could be a little more specific about your problem.

IMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

iMac is asking for admin login password upon startup when it never did before, settings are still on auto login. Why is it doing this out of the blue?

Is sounds like it might for some reason booting into Safe Mode, which does prompt for a password.
Try a PRAM reset:
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If that doesn't help, restart holding down the option key which should take you to the startup manager. Select Macintosh HD (you may need to use the arrows on the keyboard if the kb is Bluetooth), tap 'enter'. Does it boot normally now?

All of my purchased ringtones and songs dissapeared out of the blue. How do I get them back without having to buy them all over again?

Out of the blue, all of my purchased ringtones and music aren't displayed anymore on my iPhone.
I went to iTunes to see if they were stored there, but the downloads folder also appears to be empty. If I try to select a ringtone I've downloaded before, a popup appears saying that I've already purchased that item and asking if I want to cancel or buy. If I click on buy, then I pay for the item again even if I already have it! The only place I can still see my purchased items is in the iTunes application on my computer, but even though I've already selected sync, the ringtones and songs still won't appear on my iPhone.
What happeneded and how can I get them back without having to pay for them all over again?
Thank you!

I'm having the same problem on an iphone 4s running iOS8; when i updated to iOS8, all my ringtones went missing, and when i got a £50 gift card for christmas (2014), I purchased some songs from the iTunes store on my iPhone. i downloaded songs from paramore, panic! at the disco, coldplay, and imagine dragons, over wi-fi, and they went into my iphone music library; but when i re-opened the music app a few days later, in a place where i had no wi-fi, except for my 3G phone signal, some cloud icons appeared next to my newly purchased songs, telling me to re-download them from the cloud, when i haven't even deleted them. this has happened twice now, and i had to use up some of my 5GB data allowance to redownload them from the cloud. This is annoying and i need to fix this issue ASAP.

Out-of-the-blue (weird) problems: MacBook & Airport

Everything has been working fine with my wi-fi network for going on two years I guess. Then... out-of-the-blue problems...
The major problem is getting online from my MacBook Pro... at first everytime I signed on I'd be asked for the password... then a connection error popup would come up... Now my MacBook gets signal from the Base Station, but I can't use a browser or Mail...
Everything appears fine at the Base Station... it's connected to a G4 and I can web browse and see mail there...
I disconnected the Airport Express which boosts the signal downstairs... no matter what I did, it just seemed to complicate matters...
Have looked for and used (as best I could) the tech dox I could find, but few seem to relate directly to this sort of problem...
Any ideas would be gratefully received! Thanks.
Cat

Ok, if you don't mind, let's start from scratch.
Let's start by connecting your MacBook directly, using an Ethernet cable, to your Cable modem. Can you access the Internet now? If so, perform a "hard reset" on your AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), and a "factory default reset" on your AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
Then, let's setup the AEBS...
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
o Power-off the Cable modem, AEBS, & computer(s); Wait for at least 5 minutes.
o Connect the modem, using an Ethernet cable to the WAN port of the AEBS.
o Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
o Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s)
Setup the AEBS
Temporarily, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the LAN port of the AEBS, and then, check these settings:
AirPort tab
o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o AirPort Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
o Create a closed network (unchecked)
o Wireless Security: Not enabled
o Channel: Automatic
o Mode: 802.11b/g Compatible
Internet tab
o Connect Using: Ethernet
o Configure: Using DHCP
o WAN Ethernet Port: Automatic
Network tab
o Distribute IP addresses (checked)
o Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT) (enabled)
Click Apply and allow at least 5 minutes to allow the AEBS to restart. Once restarted, and while your computer is still connected to the AEBS's LAN port, try to access the Internet. Successful?

Rezound starts conference call out of the blue when in call and have to press a number

Hi,
Rezound starts conference call out of the blue when in call and have to press a number
2 Months ago, my Rezound started opening a conference call when I press a digit while on the phone. For example, when I am checking my house voice mail and press 2 to hear my messages. My phone instantly opens a conference call with "2", and instantly makes an "eeerrrttt eeerrrttt eeerrrttt " beeping buzzing error tone.
I have spoken to customer support. They sent me a recycled rezound which I still have the same trouble with. I asked them for a new sim card but they wouldnt send me one with the new phone. Maybe that would fix this? I dont see how 2 phones can have the same odd problem, that nobody else seems to have.
Below pic: Called google voice, entered password, password opened a new call to my 5 digit password? This just happens to me???
Thx,
-Jamie

Thanks for the reply. I did consider that, in fact I figure its either a 3rd party app or its the sim. I absolutely cannot seem to find which app could be causing this. The biggest problem is that its totally random. It happened today to me while I was at the Dr with my Mother. Had to call her other Dr. I called the number, pressed 1 to speak with the right department, it opened a new line and dialed 1 and switched to it by itself! I lost the call and merging the 2 calls still does not allow me back to the real call. Its astounding! The worst thing is it ONLY seems to happen when I am making an important call. The MOST important calls I make ALWAYS have this happen. When I left that Dr. office, I called that other Dr again and pressed 1 again and it worked perfect. If a phone can be possessed, then I do indeed believe my phone is suffering from demonic possession! I would gladly share all the logs and stuff. I think Verizon or HTC need to figure this one out for the sake of humanity...
ps; I did change from global mode to CDMA/LTE before I tried again today. Maybe thats related?
Thx,
-Jamie

New BT Vision Box delivered out of the blue

I have had a brand new black BT Vision Box delivered this morning out of the blue(I currently have on of the old silver boxes). The letter indicated that they were issueing everyone with a new box due to features being rolled out and that the silver box will stop working in 28 days. I have an almost full hard drive of programs and films and there is no way of transfering the data accross. They advise us to watch everything before sending the box back in a prepaid envelope.
As I don't want anything new to be recorded on the old box can I set up my new black box and still watch the recordings on the old box?
Solved!

Yes you can, but what you would need to do is -
leave the silver box plugged in to the mains and connected to the hub via the ethernet cable
then remove the ethernet cable from the silver box and connect this cable to the black box
switch the black box on and allow it to boot up
The silver box will then run and allow you to watch your recorded content
(putting the silver box in to standby is fine, but don't unplug the mains supply)

Im new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experincing a hard drive crash out of the blue, I lost everything. I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I show backups for my iPhone and my daughter's iPod but my mac doesn't exist. How do I fix tho

I'm new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experiencing a hard drive that went out of the blue, I lost everything. I wanted to use the icloud to back my documents up. I went into the iCloud under settings but it only shows my iPhone and daughter's iPod. How do I get my Mac to back up too? Is there something I need to use to have the documents back up?

You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:

In iPhoto the double click to enlarge a photo is now a ! in a triangle and I am Unable to print from iPhoto. This has just happened out of the blue.

Hi All.
In iPhoto I have lost the double click that opensup photos, the double click now appears as a ! in a triangle. At the same time I have lost the print facility in iPhoto. This happened out of the blue and I have been unable to reconcile either problem. Can anyone help please.
Bill

The ! means that iPhoto has lost connection to the origianl file.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
