FYI: iChat Trojan Patch provided by Apple
Just an FYI to all-
The Leap-A security exploit has now been patched by Apple. The patch comes in the form of a Security Update (2006-001) and is available via SU or Apple's website for Intel and PPC chips.
It's highly recommended you download it.

Hi All,
Can anyone else confirm that this seems to cause problems for Showmacster (has files in SMBL and Input Managers) ?

How to repair corrupted Macbook Pro hard disk when I don't have a startup disc provided by Apple
So my MBP was really making horrible clicking noise and I figured out that my start up Lion OSX disk partition is corrupted.
I have three partitions. One for Lion OS X, another for Documents and another for Movies and Downloads. When I run disk utility and verify other two partitions(documents and movies/downloads), they appear to be okay but when I do the same with Lion OS X then it says:
The volume Lion OS X was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired....then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
Is my hard drive gonna die soon? Or will it be okay if I just format my 500gb hard drive completely and install the fresh copy of Lion OS X again? I don't have a recovery disc or what so ever provided by Apple anymore. I have a DMG installation file of Lion OS X and a USB flash drive(4 GB approx). How can I repair the disk partition without the recovery start up disc?
Please help me, I am really worried.Hmmm idk if it's the clicking noise or not but it is making a noise of course. Sounds like hmmm few old desktops that makes weird loud noise for the first 20 seconds they boot up.
I am still unsure if it needs to be changed because the other two volumes appear to be okay. Why only this one? I have already saved all of my data in an external hard drive but it's weird how my 10 year old desktop is running on a same hard drive and my 3 years old 3000$ laptop had it's optical drive replaced, dead pixels, trackpad problem and now hard drive when I take care of my laptops like my baby and more over I don't even travel with it, it is always sitting on my desk like a desktop. -
i tried to install a new os x mountain lion, but the system asked me to provide the apple id and password that was used to buy the os from the apple store online. which i don't have. how do i go ahead to install my new os x on the mC
If you don't have the Apple ID and password, how did you get Mountain Liomn in the first place? Without the Apple ID and password, you'll need to buy it to download it.

My iPod fourth genereation is closing apps down randomly shortly after I open them. Even the apps that were provided by apple won't stay open long. I've tried everything they've suggested and nothing has worked. What's wrong with my iPod and how can I fix it? I even reset the entire thing to factory settings and it did nothing.
Also, my back camera won't work most of the time and when it does red scratchy lines appear all over the screen and the picture won't come out clear.I think I fixed the apps, though.
*Turn off your wifi and only turn it on when you want to use it
*Lower your brightness
*Turn off "Push" on notifications and mail and turn on "Manual"
*Return to your home screen and then double click twice and tap and hold one of the apps you've previously opened, when they jiggle tap the red on each app until fully erased.
*Don't use your ipod while it is charging, allow at least a 10 minute charge (fully charged) before using it again.
See if this helps(: ... I still have no answer bout the camera issue. I might be going to apple soon so we will see then. -

IS COMPUTER FIX, INC A 3rd party Independent Tech Support Provider FOR APPLE? THEY CHARGED AS 339.00 DOLLARS TO REMOTELY REPAIR OUR MACBOOK
If you paid by credit card, contact the bank handling this payment
and ask that it be stopped since the provider did not actually do
anything to the computer and you are suspicious of their actions.
If the billing was added to a phone account, contact the vendor of
that service to dispute the charges against you; and cite concerns
of security, identify theft, privacy and of being scammed.
You may have to fill out forms, and see if the credit card bank will
refund or not; usually they mail them to your billing address, after
you call the bank customer service. Some are better at than others.
This could take some months to resolve, if you paid that way.
They may also have installed (or had you remove security) while
inside your Mac and its system software, remotely. If they were
able to 'scan' your Mac remotely, they may have harvested any
personal or financial information, including passwords saved to
online accounts that may have been in browsers or keychain.
On another track, complete repaired Macs of an older vintage
are not very expensive; even ones from companies who repair
them or those who have stock of repaired units...
While checking for a friend, online I found a few portables that
had been repaired and for sale by a company whose business
is to repair almost all portable Apple computers, in-house.
You can buy an early model guaranteed MacBook from reputable
repair companies with limited warranty for under $400. and that
includes a bill-of-health with an option to buy a longer warranty
for a little bit more. Or just mail in your computer in a flat-rate
postal carton with padding, to one of the well-reputed repairers
directly. They perform a physical/software hands-on diagnostic
& repair service, tell you before they fix anything what it will cost,
what the price variables are when they do hands-on testing; as
that is a real repair. An example: wegenermedia.com online.
The Apple support site has links to the better known AASP
authorized Apple service providers, and you could look up
the ones nearest your City & Country in the Locate section.
Blue links below require additional info once in their Site to
access the Authorized Apple Service Providers who have
an actual physical presence, where they offer services..
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Visit an Apple Retail Store
Apple - Find Locations - Country Selector:
https://locate.apple.com/country
Contact Apple Support - Apple Support:
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
Some independent providers may be in a situation to do more or
even less, than an Authorized service provider. Some may just
repair computers -- and not officially be affiliated with Apple...
Best to do the necessary research before committing to repair.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing! -

iCloud version provided by Apple updater is damaged or just won't install. Is the version I have properly working and syncing with all my devices?
J.VeranoTry quitting Pages on the iPad, restart the iPad - and then see if the app works OK.
To quit Pages - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. -
HT201407 I can not activate iphone because previous user will not provide his apple ID
I am having difficulty activating an iphone that my employer owns, but a previous employee who was using this phone has left the organisation and will not provide his apple ID. Can you please help me?
If the iPhone is using iOS 7 there is absolutely nothing you can do...the Activation Lock is an anti-theft feature that you cannot bypass.
Apple will OT get involved...you have to find a way to get the Apple ID from the previous user. -

You will need to sign up for your own Apple ID and then buy and download Lion by calling Apple and getting a redemption code.
Good Luck

Warning "anti-viral" trojan virus circulating using apple icon
I accidently loaded a trojan virus when I thought I was downloading an anti-viral program sent from Apple - they use the Apple logo. It then results in continuous pop-ups of *********** sites. Apple tech support could not help but I found a website providing instructions to remove the malware. Website is called "bleeping.com" Yes, the irony of the name given what I had to get rid of - be careful.
This was "news" three weeks ago. And every day here, but mostly over on forum for Snow Leopard
There are dozens of articles, threads, links on how to help, as well as on what it is.
Apple Community threads "macdefender"
What is odd is a policy of turning customers away.
