Help please!!!! Phishing site.
Hi,
I don't know much about nasty phishing websites etc, but a friend sent me a message on Facebook telling me to check out this website "linkteria.be" - coming from a friend, I thought it must've been something good. I since realise that the "be" should've been a giveaway but that's only since I've read a bit about it (I Googled it after a blank page came up when I typed in the link). I messaged the friend AFTER I entered the link (yes, STUPID, I know) and she emailed back saying that she didn't send it and it appears someone has been into her FB account.
So I'm freaking out now that someone has got hold of information off my computer. Can anyone tell me what to do now? I don't have any anti-virus software on my Mac. I've got an OS X Leopard.
Thanks.
I too fell for the .be phishing message on Facebook and I had received the message from a REAL friend, not just a Facebook friend, so I navigated to the link in a new window. I do have my Safari preferences set to warn before visiting a fraudulent website but there was no warning. The new window that opened looked just like a Facebook window and (stupid, I know) I logged in again but nothing happened. So now I am concerned about the login information I provided and, hoping that since I'm on a Mac, there will not be a problem. Any insight? I tried to do some research or provide some feedback on Facebook but that was a deadend. Everything you click on their security/help page just takes you back to pages you've already seen. I've now received another phishing message on Facebook (both from European friends) and, of course, now I know better. If anyone has any information for me I appreciate it. The first thing I tried to do was change my password but that didn't work either and I can't seem to reach anyone on Facebook. Thanks!

Can't see airport express base station....help please. Sitting in cupboard.
Ok, so I've moved house and it's all gone a bit wrong....
Usually I connect my iBook G4 to the internet using an airport extreme base station - ethernet cable goes from airport to BT router - BT Voyager 220V ADSL Voice Router.
All was fine until I moved house. Now I can connect to the internet no problem if the ethernet cable goes straight into the laptop - but I just can't see my AEBS. I've tried switching it on and off to no avail, and was even brave and reset the whole thing, but nothing happens. When I scan using airport utility it just doesn't see it.
When I switch it on all three lights flash, but then after a while the middle one stays on and nothing happens.
I did install some BT home hub software at the weekend so I could log into my brother's network - could this be the issue? Although I have used my laptop wirelessly in the internet cafe next door and that was fine. The computer is also picking up other wireless networks, it just can't see mine. Any ideas?
Thanks, PxWhen I switch it on all three lights flash, but then after a while the middle one stays on and nothing happens.
You posted in the AirPort Express area, but it sounds like you have an AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS)--correct?
If so, let's start by performing a complete power recycling of your network components to make sure that the BT Voyager router "recognizes" the AEBS.
Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
- Power-off the BT Voyager modem, AEBS, & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the BT Voyager modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)
If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
- Power-off the BT Voyager modem, AEBS, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the BT Voyager modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the AEBS; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s) -
Hi Again!
I posted this problem here before, but since I really need to access the sites that receive this error message in less than a month, I had to re-post; hopefully someone who didn't see it before will see it & have a solution for me.
Here are the details: I'm running windows 8.1 & I use Firefox 33.1.1, Pale Moon 25.1.0 or Opera 26.0 as my browsers, (I have IE installed & up-to-date, but I never use it). I followed the 10-point checklist on Adobe & everything was done, except for "uncheck Hardware Acceleration" in Flash 'Settings'; I tried to uncheck it on this site, where it's indicated, as well as in my 4 browsers when I'm doing something that uses Flash, but no matter how hard I try, I can't 'uncheck' the check mark in that tiny box! Since this error problem only affects 5 web sites, & I can watch streaming media on all other sites, I don't think it's an issue.
Here's how this problem began: I was watching a live, streaming nest-cam on 5/09/14 around 11:00AM, (yes, I DO know the exact time & date, because it happened so suddenly while I was watching this website that I'd been watching since the end of February, 2014), when my screen went black. I thought it was probably an Adobe Crash, but when the usual Crash Report window didn't show up, I just closed Firefox & reopened it, expecting to resume watching the nest-cam. When I went back to the site, I got the black screen with the "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found" message. The chat portion on the site still works, though. I know there are other sites with this nest-cam feed, so I started trying them, but it took several tries for me to find one that didn't get the error message! I posted this problem on "Windows BBS" forum, & someone else posted that the same thing happened to them AND on the same sites! They didn't have a solution, either. I cleared my cache, rebooted my PC & even did a System Restore, but whatever happened in that brief second made using ONLY 5 sites impossible. Here are the sites that receive the error message:
http://pixcontroller.com/eagles, (but I CAN go to http://pixcontroller.com, but there isn't any streaming media)
http://cbslocal.com/eagles
http://westmorelandconservancy.org/BlueBirdwebcam-1.htm
http://wildearth.tv/cam/pittsburgh-bald-eagles, (I get the error message on ALL cams on this site)
http://aviary.org/BE-NestCam1 (I get the error message on ALL cams on this site)
Now if any videos from the 5 websites above are uploaded to YouTube, I can watch them perfectly...no error message if I watch the videos elsewhere. Luckily, I found Ustream, & they have most of the nest cams I watch, but I need to fix this issue, because it's nearing nesting time! I'm an amateur nest-watcher & it's vital that I have access to these 5 sites, so if anyone knows how to fix this, PLEASE tell me!
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
All suggestions/solutions are gratefully accepted.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Help please!
Live preview also not working.
I have exactly the exact problem described below but do not have a folder with the same name as the volume created under the volume. Please can someone help - I've tried everything. This problem only happened when I upgraded to Dreaweaver CC!
"On launching Dreamweaver on your Macintosh if your Welcome Screen is not loading and if you see a "File not found" error, please check if you have a folder with the same name as your volume created under the volume. For more info on this please go through the attached pdf document. Other dialogs/panels in dreamweaver that will be blank due to this issue are Jquery Swatches panel, Adobe Edge Webfonts tab in Manage Fonts dialog,W3c Error Info dialog, Externalise Javascript dialog and svn revert dialog. After following the changes mentioned in the attached document please check all the affected dialogs/panels to confirm everything is working as expected."

Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
this problem occurs when there is a short circuit in the phone... you most likely got it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip.. -

Can someone help me get my sql files into dreamweaver? (Please, my site up today)
I need help getting my site into dreamweaver I have sql files and instructions from a past web designer I know. I just can't get it open because I am a nub. I am offering a shared screen to my computer though join.me https://join.me/784-748-841. My phone number is 361-523-9919.
The screen share shows my computer screen and mine only. I will share mouse control and show you the files and my problem. I will type to you through word and you can type back.
The web programer sent two files by zip called ikainica_woat.sql and localhost.sql in a folder call ikainica_woat, a program link to MAMP which I already installed and the following instructions:
"http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/dreamweaver/dreamweaver_mysql.htm
http://webdesign.about.com/od/dreamweaverhowtos/ss/dw_dynamic_site_2.htm
Also a great tutorial
This is one I use to connect to your database that is currently online.
Make sure all of your files are opened in dreamweaver, meaning all of
your index files and CSS files. I have included the CSS files in your
FTP folder so you can load them on your local server and see the
changes."

Have 60 gig ipod classic will power up will go to songs but will not play any songs just sits there on 0 I can fast foreword but it still will not do a thing just sits at new spot in song and will not play , help please.
Update!
This is what I did to fix both the skipping songs problem and the iPod verifying forever & not able to restore problem (because of iTunes 9):
a) I used Disk Utility to reformat my iPod while in Disk Mode using the instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363?viewlocale=en_US
and here:
http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/erase/index.shtml#backup
b) Do not unplug your iPod after reformatting (mine showed up as a firewire disk) - simply launch iTunes ( I went back to 8.2) and follow the Restore instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
iPod is recognized, syncs and doesn't skip songs anymore after that miserable experience with iTunes 9!!! -
Hi, problem occurs when I'm clicking a button or a new url on the current site. For instance, when i clicked that "Ask This" button on this web site, It redirects me to the default homepage. I cant go back and I'm losing the previous web site HELP PLEASE!
Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

HHi, I recently got a newer desktop to replace my older laptop and I upl my pics from my picture keeper and I see them in images but I can't find iPhoto! Help please.
With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using? A new iMac will have Yosemite. Confirm.
what system version are you running? Download iPhoto 6 from the App store. Did you?
what do you mean by "picture keeper"?
have you looked in the Applications folder for an iPhoto application?
is your iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder ? -

I am in an endless loop on my other iMac computer. I happened upon a page where it said "phishing site ahead" and then a pop up comes on screen telling me to call a certain number and then I click okay and of course do not call and it will not let me out of this endless loop. Shut down computer, quit Safari, but when I reopen Safari it still takes me to that same page and will not let me out or use any menu items or toolbar items. Just the same little popup box telling me to call a certain number with an OK button and I can't go anywhere or do anything on Safari. What can I do?
Also I copied this from my other computer web page:
Reported Phishing website ahead. Your network ha been monitored. Your network has been compromised due to Browser hijacking.The browser hijacking software may redirect you towards phishing websites that try to access your Login Password details. To fix this browser redirection issue we recommend you ask for instant help. Help Line 1 877 899 1824.
Then another smaller popup window pops up
http://www.pcassists.info
Security Error
Call Helpline 1877 899 1824
So this is what I was talking about, and the small popup window plus the larger Window stating "Reported Phishing website ahead" will not go away and I cannot use Safari anymore even after I shut down my computer, disconnected it, and then signed on again and reopened Safari, it still takes me to that page and I cannot get out of it.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! -
This has been happening for me just recently, 12/2012... EVERY TIME I CLICK ON A WEBSITE, I get: WARNING: SUSPECTED PHISHING SITE.
At first, I thought it was valid, but when I saw that it was doing it before EVERY page, I knew that something was wrong. I read through your comments from the past, but saw no indications of what was causing the problem then or how to fix it.
I have a macbook 10.5.8, & I use Safari. Never had this problem before.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do?
I may have changed a few things in System Preferences... and...
I have copied & pasted the email addresses from my spam to block in Yahoo mail to see if that makes any difference in the number of spam emails that I get. Probably not, as they are constantly changing email addresses, but thought I would try.
That is all that I know that I have done.
And now this is constant & annoying & I don't know what websites that I can trust.
Please help.
I haven't use this site much. Will I get an email to let me know if anyone responds? Or do I have to try to come back here to check for replies?
Thanks again!Have you tried the Reset Safari... in the pull down menu under Safari?
