Forum Users I NEED YOUR SUPPORT

Fellow Mac users
I come before you with a problem. Our Proxy server at work has highlighted that our my work Macs are trying to access websites in the background. Thanks the help of this forum I am hoping I have solved this issue... (AdBlocker) however I know one thing - IT IS NOT A VIRUS
Here is where I need your help - Our IT Manager is insisting that the Macs need to have a virus and malware checker. (Even tho there is no such thing as Mac viruses and the problem is clearly not a virus) I believe this is pointless exercise and I am sure some of you will agree.
Can I please have your experiences/views of usefulness or otherwise of virus / malware checkers for the Mac.
Personally I am more than certain they are 100% pointless! However my word on this is not enough proof for our IT team.
I don't want to have to wait for a virus checker to check every file I download, update itself or lose productivity time with the daily scans they will make me take!
Please help a fellow Mac User out by backing me up in there pointlessness or convincing me of there is a place on the Mac for Virus / Malware checkers.
I have posted here as one of the Macs is running Snow Leopard (I will also be posting in the Leopard forum too!)
Please Help!

Well, it could be a trojan. I have heard of a file circulating on **** sites that redirects your DNS or something. You have to manually run the installer for it (or have the horrible Safari option "Open 'safe' files after downloading" checked).
I don't think that is the case for your machines, but check that Safari setting anyway.

The best thing to do is pacify them. Download the "industry leader" Mac OS X anti-virus program, ClamXav, and never run it.

Unfortunately, my word has even less value for your IT team
I was about to suggest Little Snitch, but I'm not sure if that will work properly through a proxy. Try GlimmerBlocker instead. I just found out about it and I'm going to give it a try.

Hi!
In addition to the other response you received, please see this chart of steps that must be conducted whenever a previously used BB is sold or otherwise transferred to someone else. Only the proper party for each stage can conduct their stage -- which means you must find the prior owner and get them to do their steps...no one else can do that...not even anyone at RIM.

Hello, Model: wdbuzg0010bbk-04 Suddenly my External Hard Drive is not detected and failed (Not even processing) with the tests of Western Digital Data LifeGuard Diagnostics. I believe I tried everything. When I connect it, there is no strange sound, the sound is okay, the temperature is okay as WD Quick view mentions. The light is also on. When I connect it, the sound of USB detected in my laptop comes but nothing appears. WD SmartWare detects it but as no writable partition. And I also can not fix it using the Disk Management tool in Windows. Is there any fix for my matter?

Seems like the partition on the drive got corrupted, i recommend reformatting the drive and then try to use for backup, however if you have information on this unit that you do not have somewhere else try too run a data recovery software, you can also check this link with some data recovery partner, in some cases they will have free diagnostics of your drive:

Also lets see if another user can share some information or tips on this matter.

Motu Ultralite MK3 users.. need your help

Hi;
I discovered this problem today. My Motu's display keeps turning on and off, producing a "pop" sound everytime it does it!! Not sure why this is happening all of a sudden. I reinstalled the drivers as well. I suspect its got to do with my firewire connection. Something is causing it to go haywire. Anyone else experienced this?? Appreciate the help.
J.

thx for the replys.. I have Xperia X1 right now.. its feature rich and too expensvie also. Its from Sony so I didnt bother to investigate about sound.. and you kow what .. it has one speaker and its volume is low like hell.. if you have in pocket and you are on the road.. you cant hear the ring and the vibration is just like nothing lol
thats why.. i am asking for this one.. I know this phone is the best phone from nokia till date [at least for me]
cheers
I would be happy if some one else also would like to provide me his reference for the volume loudness

I hate this bold 9700 series 2 no carrier and find it to be a pathetic product backed up by even more pathetic support so I have decided to use it as a torch. There is an app for this but it requires app world first. Are you trying to say that I MUST have a carrier and they will resolve this issue but otherwise RIM cannot do anything about their own product?
Hello and Welcome to the Forums!
We are so sorry that you are having so many difficulties. While many experience the same (a search here will reveal that fact), there are also many who have very positive experiences with their BB. Not every device is suitable for everyone -- which IMHO is why there are so many choices.
In addition, but for AppWorld, front line support for BB's is, by contract, not provided by RIM. The carriers and authorized resellers are responsible for front line formal support to end users. It is possible to bypass your carrier and seek assistance direct from RIM, but such involves fees since you are bypassing your support agreement with your carrier. The "Support and Services" tab toward the top of these forum pages provide information about that. But, if you do go through your carrier for support, they can escalate into RIM at no fee to you if they so choose to.
As to AppWorld Support (beyond what we volunteer to provide in these forums), that is available via this portal:
https://www.blackberry.com/CSOHelp/index.do?ft=generic
If you choose to submit to them in this manner, then please use, in the "Please select a component:" field, the AppWorld Billing/Payment selection. Any other selection will simply route you back anonymously to these public forums.
As to your question, RIM and the carriers both participate in AppWorld. My suspicion is that the carriers get a portion of the costs for the apps that are vended via AppWorld -- but that's just my suspicion. Hence, the use of AppWorld indeed requires a carrier (and, indeed, the proper data plan level from them).
But, AppWorld is merely a portal, vending apps that are (for the most part) developed by others. As such, it is not the only portal in the world for BB apps. There are a few, I think, apps that are exclusively vended via AppWorld...but I think that number is rather small. Consequently, if you desire an app that will allow your BB to function as you desire, you should seek out alternative vending portals. There are plenty.
Good luck!

Doin a A64 overlockability Survey need youre help, ALL A64 users come here

First things first. No one i mean no one POST nonsense in this thread. Its ment to get results from A64's in thier overlocking ability, not to be a flamm bait thread. Thanx for youre help and support
I know this is a mobo forum but it would really help since alot of A64 users are here. Im conbinding all results from many diff forums on this chart.
Im from the Overlockers.com Forums and i will update this information on both forum's. As you see i already have some right now. Here is the thread in the oc forums http://www.ocforums.com/showindex.php?t=308656
Im trying to get results from a broad range of people to see if thier steppings acually affect overclocking. When i mean stepping i dont mean the CG or CO i mean the 5 digit steppings.
I need every A64 user in this forum to post here youre results on youre cpu. What cpu type you have newcastle or clawhammer, desktop, mobile, DTR ? Max stable overclock. Type of cooling used, voltage and cpu temps. I also need you to post youre cpu's Revision (CO,CG ect.) also post if its AR AX or AP which can easily spotted on the model number.
I also need you to post youre stepping which is the 5 digit code on the cpu. Beggining with C, exsamples are CAABC, CAAJC, CBASC, also post the week and year it was built (ex. 0404 ) along with the 4 digit code after that which should be like UMPW or XPMW.
Basicly what it should look like is this. Take a look at ur cpu and copy all the info and post it here.
ADA2800AEP4AP
CAAJC 0404XMPW
Disclaimer: Thier are some retailers that are selling so called Newcastle Core A64's that are actually Clawhammers with half the cache disabled. If you somehow have CO stepping newcastle which can be reconised by the AP at the end of the model number please make sure you include that in youre post.
Here are all the Current CPU's out thier (Thanks goes to Hitechjb 1 for this MODEL and OPN code Information) For More very helpfull Information go here again thanks HitechJb 1 http://www.ocforums.com/showindex.php?s=&threadid=295328

In my opinion the 5 letters do affect overclockability, as my old 3200+ CO revision was a CAAPC and it was a porr overlocker. This one is better, yet still not great, and others on the web that have 3400+ and are getting great results with other steppings, 2.6Ghz+ at decent voltages.
does the 0408 mean ti was manufactured in the 8th week of 2004?

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.

Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

I guess the problem come from me or I really need those contacts before he calls me for it. I'll try some method that I got from some responders on your support website. Do you have or can you recommand any software that can solve this problem?

One more thing. I just update my iphone that my boss gave to me but it seems to be like it giving me some trouble. My iphone was updated not too long and was successful. I try to lock into it and it telling me emergency call. I plug it to my itune and it telling me that the sim card is not valid or supported. So I inserted my sim card that I usually use to call and it still saying the same. Please help me get into it.

And as far as paying for phone support, here are a few tips:
If you call your carrier first and then they route you to Apple, you usually don't have to pay for phone support.
If you are talking to Apple and they ask you to pay a support fee, ask if you can get an exception this time. That usually works once, but they keep track of the times you've been granted such an exception.
If you still end up paying the support fee, that fee only applies if it's not a hardware related issue. In other words, if it can be fixed by just talking over the phone and following Apple's instructions, then the fee applies. But if your device is deemed to have a hardware failure that caused the issue, then the fee should not apply, and you can ask for it to be waived after the fact.
This forum is free, and almost all of the technical support articles the Apple tech advisors use are available on this website. Literally 99% of what they can do over the phone is just walking you through the publicly available support articles. In other words, you're paying the fee to have them do your research for you. It's like hiring a research consultant to go look stuff up in the public library so you don't have to. You're capable of doing it; you'd just rather pay someone to do it for you.
It's like Starbucks. You know how to make coffee. Everyone knows how to make coffee. And Starbucks coffee isn't any better than what you could make at home for far less. But you want the convenience. So you're really paying a convenience fee. Milk is more expensive at 7-Eleven than it is at the grocery store... because it's a convenience store.

Your user has no SAP Support Portal user assigned

Hi all,
in transaction SM37 I found a job that almost everytime ends with error. Name of the job is "SM:SYNC SAP SESSIONS" and it's executed daily. The error message is :
Job started
Step 001 started (program RDSWPCISERVICEPLAN, variant &0000000000452, user ID SYS_JOBYSAP)
Your user has no SAP Support Portal user assigned
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
Everyday the job is scheduled automatically by another job "SM:SCHEDULER". I suppose that is same on your systems.
I know the error message say that I should try to assign S-user to user SYS_JOBYSAP but I think it should not be the problem because some days the job ends with no errors. Also when I duplicate some old job (with status Cancelled) and execute it immediately the job ends in green.
Do you have any idea what could be wrong? Is it possible that there is some problem with connection to SAP almost regularly everyday in same time?
Best regards,
Zbynek

I would like to check whether the SAP service that is used by job SM:SYNC SAP SESSIONS is running in given time. I need to re-schedule job SM:SYNC SAP SESSIONS to other time. How is it possible? I think the job SM:SCHEDULER uses some table that contains detail informations about scheduled jobs. Is it right? Do you know name of the table?

Error "Sorry your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones"

I have a Curve 8300. With OS v4.5.0.81. And I am on a BB Social network plan through my cell providor "Fido".
I mainly use it for Facebook & Twitter and have no problems using either app. However I was prompted for an update for my twitter recently but wasn't near a wifi spot to update. Just decided to update today at home where I do have wifi. However when I go to do the update, it gives me the following error:
"Sorry your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones"
I have scoured for answers but haven't had much luck. I tried checking for OS updates. I apparently have the most current one that my phone will support. I uninstalled twitter and then tried to reinstall it via the twitter Icon on my phone. Got the same error. Tried reinstalling it through app world, it installed just fine. However it installed the version that I had previously had. So I went to twitter's settings and checked for updates. It prompted for one as I expected it would. And when I tried to get the update. It gave me that error again. I can use twitter as it is, but I don't see why my phone shouldn't be able to get all the updates for various apps. Is it a software compatability issue? Is it a hardware compatability issue? Is there anything I can do to get the update or do I just have a phone that won't take some app updates?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
The 8300 is not listed in the device upgrade table for Blackberry device OS v5.0. The newer versions of apps like Twitter and Facebook require device OS v5.0 to run correctly. Might be time to consider a new device!
