Full Scan has hung and I can't seem to quit Sophos

Hi, I installed Sophos free home edition last night for my imac - which i purchased new a couple of weeks ago. I began a full scan last night and this morning I found that it was stuck half way on a zip file. I tried to delete the zip file but a message came up saying it couldn't be deleted because it was in use (obviously by the Sophos scan). I tried to quit Sophos so I could delete the file and restart the scan but it refuses to quit. Even force quit is not working. I wanted to ask for options before I switch my imac off - in case that caused any problems. Thanks in advance.

OK, I had to re-start so I did and it appears not to have caused any issues. Sophos has quit and (seemingly corrupt) file I couldn't delete before has now been deleted. Phew! I will try to do another full scan tonight and see if that completes or hangs and report tomorrow.

Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows - checking after each one to see if the problem is resolved:
Power your iPad off and on.
A reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.

Language of some of my icons has changed and I can't seem to reverse it, please help!

A friend of mine was messing around with my laptop and managed to change the language to what I believe to be Russian. I changed the language under the 'International' tab back to English, but for some reason some of my icons (e.g. system preferences, software update and language menu) are still written in whatever language this is. I've fiddled about with the settings in the 'International' tab for hours but with no success and I can't find a solution anywhere. Please help!

Did you do logout/login after moving English to the top of the list?
Also you could try going to system prefs/international/language and using the Edit button to uncheck the box for Russian.

My download page has disappeared and I can't seem to download from my hotmail account.

Something has gone wrong with firefox. I use it to access the net. I use it to access my email account. But suddenly my ability to download items sent to me in my mail can't be downloaded. In the past when I clicked on download a download page appeared and gave me the status of the download. Nothing happens when I download now and it is becoming very frustrating. I can download using safari as the web browser but I prefer Firefox. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

You may need to manually add the icon to your toolbar.

The icon for Download Helper has disappeared and I can't seem to get it back. I see reference to it in the Firefox Tools dropdown. Where did it go? Thank you.

Video Download Helper is an add-on that I frequently use. It used to have an icon right next to the home icon beside the URL line. It is no longer there. It disappeared after Firefox prompted me to update.
I believe that the add-on is still available to use by Firefox because it has a drop-down embedded in the "tools" drop-down in Firefox.
I have attempted to reload Video Download Helper, but to no avail.
Thanks for your help!

In iPhoto most of my photos appear to have been replaced by much smaller versions. What has happened and how can I get the full size photos back?

That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

My iPhone 3Gs has frozen and I can't do anything except turn it off by hard boot. When I plug it in, I have the apple icon and that is all. It was at 43 percent battery life when it happened and my Twitter app was giving me problems. Thoughts?

Try to reboot it. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, about 20 seconds or so. It should reboot and work for you.

I need to get raw plugin for Canon 5D Mark iii for CS6 the adobe website has changed and I can not find the download.. it keeps looping me back to the product download

I need to get raw plugin for Canon 5D Mark iii for CS6 the adobe website has changed and I can not find the download.. it keeps looping me back to the product download page without the raw

Which operating system are you using?
Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get either camera raw 8.3 or 8.7.1, which should enable photoshop cs6 to open the canon 5D Mark III files.
(version of camera raw depends on your operating system)
If that doesn't work try one of the following camera raw plugin installers:
Camera raw 8.7.1 plugin
https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
If you have windows xp or vista or mac os x snow leopard (10.6.8), then you'll have to use the camera raw 8.3 plugin installer:

My laptop has crashed and I can't sync my iPad air. I have tried to back up off I cloud but it hasn't transferred all of my photos or music. Is there anyway I can access my iTunes account any other way?

Your iTunes account won't include your non-iTunes purchased e.g. music copied from CDs etc, nor photos that were synced from a computer.
To get non-iTunes music you will have to go via a computer. If you don't have that music on, for example, an external drive, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
For photos that were originally synced from a computer then there are apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them between devices and/or to a computer (though photos are 'optimised' as part of the syncing process, so if you do copy them back to a computer then they might not be the same as they were on your laptop).
There is also this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
