Help! How to check for virus on IBook G4
Okay, I have been getting the multicolored swirly ciricle thing when I try to do anything online or though word on my Mac, it is significantly slower and has done this before. The tech support guy showed me how to scan for viruses and restore it after they were found. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Welcome to the iBook Discussions!
Since there have not been any viruses released in the wild that will infect a computer running Mac OS X, it's not a virus that is causing the trouble. If all you want to do is search for a virus, you can use ClamXav. But, we can be fairly certain this won't really clear-up your trouble. Is there any other troubleshooting you've tried? Have you used the Disk Utility (in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder) to "repair disk permissions"? Have you started up from your Mac OS X install disk and used the Disk Utility there to "repair disk"?

How do I check for viruses on my MacBook Air?

Old external drive; how to check for virus?
I`ve an old external drive from the time I was a Windows PC user. I just don`t want a virus on my macbook, so I want to make sure that the drive is clean, and wipe out all the deadly ****. So, what do I do? PS, I have really important stuff in there too, so I cant just reformat the drive.
SDownload and scan it with either Sophos or ClamXav. Not that Windows viruses can affect the Apple OS:
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 will NOT be infected by a virus, it may have other security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful: The User Tip seeks to offer guidance on the main security threats and how to avoid them.

Want to know how to check for new line character in text file
Hi All,
I`m trying to read data from text file. However I`m not sure whether the data is in 1st line or nth line. Now I`m trying to read the text from the readline. But if text is "" and not NULL then my code fails. So I want to know how to check for new line character and go to next line to find the data. Please help.
Thanks
static int readandwriteFile(Logger logger,String filepath){
BufferedWriter out = null;
BufferedReader in = null;
File fr = null;
int get_count = 0;
try {
if(new File(filepath).exists())
fr= new File(filepath);
System.out.println("FileName: "+fr);
if(fr != null){
in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fr));
String text = in.readLine();
if(text != null){
get_count = Integer.parseInt(text);
in.close();
else{
get_count = 0;
else{
out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(filepath));
out.write("0");
out.close();
} //Reading of the row count file ended.
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
finally {
try{ if (in != null) {
in.close();
if (out != null) {
out.close();
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return get_count;
}You are calling the readline() only once which means you are reading only the first line from the file...
Use a loop (Do-While preferably)
do{
//your code
}while(text == "") -
Is there a program that will check for viruses or other reasons why it runs slow?
For several months my iMac has been running slow or freezing often. Safari often quits unexpectedly as does mail on occasion.
Programs that check for viruses are a major cause of slow Macs, so let's look at doing steps that don't handicap your computer:
1) How full is your hard drive? You need a minimum of 10G free for background processes such as Virtual Memory.
2) How much RAM is installed? RAM for the Mid-2010s is rather cheap at the moment, I upgraded my 27-inch Mid-2010 recently from the original 4GB to 12 GB for about US$55. Installation took only minutes.
3) If you have an external hard drive for backups, are you using something other than Time Machine to do the backups. Many third-party backup programs can cause a performance hit.
The next step is a little longer. It checks to see if some runaway background process is eating processor cycles and slowing you down:
1) Use your computer normally for typical tasks for several hours, then quit any applications you have launched. Do not restart.
2) In Applications > Utilities, find Activity Monitor. If you've not used it before, you have to change a setting. At the top of the AM window is a "Show" option. By default it is set to show "My Processes." Change it to "All Processes" like this:
4) Now highlight the "%CPU"column as shown so the most active processes "bubble"to the top (tiny arrow points down).
Now watch things move up and down for a minute of two. What you are looking for is any single process that is using more than about 10 percent of the processor cycles while the computer is idling. If you see one doing that, post its name in a reply here.
Awaiting your report,

I received a phishing email supposedly from my bank and clicked on url - didn't enter any data though.Bank says to get ipad checked for viruses,but I understood ipad has built in security.I've cleared cookies in safari via settings. Anything else to do?
I know this has been solved as you reported, but I think you need to check with your e-mail provider. Did you also get this same e-mail on your computer? If you use the same ID for e-mail on computer and ipad, it should have appeared on both. It's very common spam. Check your computer to see if on it, the e-mail is in spam, or, if you deleted it on your ipad, check your recently deleted e-mails.
You might want to consider changing your password, though people sending spam, don't need it. My e-mail provider had me change my password, not because I was getting spam, but unknown to me, I was sending it! (You'll still get some spam, though.) It's when you learn that you're unknowingly sending spam...that you must change your password.
Hope this helps.
(Ss I was sending this, I just got an e-mail notification from the Nigerian... it got to my e-mail instead of going to spam.) -
How to check for updates on SCM packages?
Hey guys,
I wondered for some time now how to check for updates on SCM packages, i.e. -git
or -svn ones. Updates for binary packages are automatically updated by pacman,
no problem there. Checking for updates on non-SCM packages from the AUR is
easily done with one of the various helper tools available (personally, I use
slurpy).
However, SCM packages can change without their PKGBUILD changing, so I'm not
notified that I should recompile and update them.
Is there a "proper" way of doing this? Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!If your system is booting then u can say that your bootblks are installed.Usually BootBlks are present in 0 & 1 slice of UFS Filesystem
/usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs
directory where ufs boot objects reside.
An x86 FDISK partition for the Solaris software begins with a one-cylinder boot slice, which contains the partition boot program (pboot) in the first sector, the standard Solaris disk label and volume table of contents (VTOC) in the second and third sectors, and the bootblk program in the fourth and subsequent sectors. When the FDISK partition for the Solaris software is the active partition, the master boot program (mboot) reads the partition boot program in the first sector into memory and jumps to it. It in turn reads the bootblk program into memory and jumps to it. Regardless of the type of the active partition, if the drive contains multiple FDISK partitions, the user is given the opportunity to reboot another partition. -
When I try to update my phone to ios 7 it says i need to update my itunes to 11.0.5, when i check my current version in help menu under check for updates it says I have the current 11.0.5 version. Even the downloader for the update doesnt show that i need to update.Help plzz????
There is some kind of error. The new version of iTunes is 11.1, which although is not available via updates, it can be downloaded from the Apple website here:

After updating iTunes to the newest version you should be able to update your iOS

How to check for a function module with its description and functionality
Hi all,
How to check for a function module,with its description and its functionality,in detail how can I know the purpose of a particular function module,how to search for a function module which suits my requirement .Hi,
You can search a FM of your requirement by putting in the Key words and searching for a FM. Like * KEYWORD * and then pressing F4.
Say for example you need to search something regarding converstion.
Search for * CONVERT * and press F4.
If there is something specfic like converting date to something you can give
DATE * CONVERT *
OR
CONVERT * DATE * and press F4.
Once you narrow down your search you will have a Function module documentation inside the Function module. Please note that all the FMs willl not have documentation.

How to check for the sub folder in the document library Is already Exist using CSOM?
Hi,
My requirement is to create the folder and sub folder in SharePoint document library. If already exist leave it or create the new folder and the subfolder in the Document library using client side object model
I able to check for the parent folder.
But cant able to check the subfolder in the document library.
How to check for the sub folder in the document library?
Here is the code for the folder
IsFolder alredy Exist.
private
string IsFolderExist(string InputFolderName)
string retStatus = false.ToString();
try
ClientContext context =
new ClientContext(Convert.ToString(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DocumentLibraryLink"]));
context.Credentials =
CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
List list = context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(Convert.ToString(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DocumentLibraryName"]));
FieldCollection fields = list.Fields;
CamlQuery camlQueryForItem =
new CamlQuery();
camlQueryForItem.ViewXml =
string.Format(@"<View Scope='RecursiveAll'>
<Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name='FileDirRef'/>
<Value Type='Text'>{0}</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
</Query>
</View>",

Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCollection listItems = list.GetItems(camlQueryForItem);
context.Load(listItems);
context.ExecuteQuery();
if (listItems.Count > 0)
retStatus =
true.ToString();
else
retStatus =
false.ToString();
catch (Exception ex)
retStatus =
"X02";
return retStatus;
thanks
SundharHi Sundhar,
According to your description, you might want to check the existence of sub folder in a folder of a library using Client Object Model.
Please take the code demo below for a try, it will check whether there is sub folder in a given folder:
public static void createSubFolder(string siteUrl, string libName, string folderServerRelativeUrl)
ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(siteUrl);
List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(libName);
CamlQuery camlQuery = new CamlQuery();
camlQuery.ViewXml =
@"<View Scope='RecursiveAll'>
<Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name='FSObjType' />
<Value Type='Integer'>1</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
</Query>
</View>";
//camlQuery.FolderServerRelativeUrl = "/Lib1/folder1";
camlQuery.FolderServerRelativeUrl = folderServerRelativeUrl;
ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(camlQuery);
clientContext.Load(items);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
Console.WriteLine(items.Count);
if (0 == items.Count)
//create sub folder here
Best regards

Firefox updates hang on download when checking for viruses
When downloading the new version of Firefox it hangs up when checking for viruses. Once I am able to escape, it has always loaded the new version. This happens every time when updating Firefox. Everything else downloads fine. Using Norton. Running Windows vista home premium 64 bit.
I think you are correct. I also had trouble downloading a Windows update. They advised me to disable Norton Sec. long enough to finish the download and it worked fine then. Thank you, lige

My MacBook Pro is suddenly slower...is there an easy way to check for viruses?
My MacBook Pro is suddenly slower...is there an easy way to check for viruses?
OpsMgr have methods which can get all host classes. Here my own function which can solve your issue:
function Get-SCOMClassProperty {
param(
[Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.Configuration.ManagementPackClass]
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
$ManagementClass,
[Switch]
[Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
$KeyOnly
function Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty {
param(
$ManagementClass
$ManagementClass.PropertyCollection | ? {$_.Key}
If ($ManagementClass.Hosted) {
Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass.FindHostClass()
If ($ManagementClass.Base) {
Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty -ManagementClass (Get-SCOMClass $ManagementClass.Base.Id)
function Get-SCOMClassAllProperty {
param(
$ManagementClass
$ManagementClass.PropertyCollection
If ($ManagementClass.Base) {
Get-SCOMClassAllProperty -ManagementClass (Get-SCOMClass $ManagementClass.Base.Id)
$ManagementClassProperty = Get-SCOMClassKeyProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass
If (!$KeyOnly) {
$ManagementClassProperty += Get-SCOMClassAllProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass
$ManagementClassProperty | Select-Object -Unique
If you need to do it in SCOM 2007 R2 then you can try my scripts from this examples http://systemcenter4all.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/scom-monitoringclass-functions/. Last should work in 2007 R2 and in 2012. Example in thread will work only in 2012.
For example just run command:
New-SCOMManagementGroupConnection
$ManagementClassName = "Microsoft.SQLServer.Database"
$ManagementClass = Get-SCOMClass -Name $ManagementClassName
Get-SCOMClassProperty -ManagementClass $ManagementClass -KeyOnly | select Name
