My Mac got hacked. I was working on a word document when the computer suddenly started typing meaningful sentences on its own that describes how the hacker is skillful. At the that time I was on a password protected wifi and file sharing was off.

This is the first time I get hacked this bad. I was working on a microsoft word document when the computer suddenly started typing meaningful sentences on its own that describes how skillfull the hacker is. At the that time I was on a friends wifi network that is password protected (not sure about the encyrption), the Os X Firewall was on. I was using the admin profile, however, file sharing was off. I'm very careful not to install any suspecious 3rd party software.
So far I have verified permissions and fixed some errors there, and changed passwords.
Do I have to erase/format my computer and reinstall the Os? If so is it adequte to use the internet recovery tool or will it use old and possibly infected EFI/Root files?
Would appreciate the advice of all the Mac experts out there. Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. suggestions to complete backup please?

I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. the same thing happens when just trying to save my pictures from iphoto to a flash drive. suggestions to complete backup please?

Sounds like you'll need to access that drive while it is not booted. You need to replace it anyway, so do that, then one way or another (ext enclusure, et), access it and copy files.
If you keep trying to boot it, you might kill it for good and not get your files, so just swap it out first.

IBook suddenly started making noise

Hello!
My iBook G3 suddenly started making noise. When you dont do anything on it, its quiet, but when you open apps, write stuff to disk, its loud. How can I avoid this?
Matt

It sounds like you may be having some hard drive issues.
Try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
You will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say? If it says "Verified," you should be in good shape, as far as the hard drive is concerned, at least.
Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Repair permissions on it.
See if a little hard drive maintenance helps things out.

Please help -- Macbook Pro 13 is suddenly sloooowww ....

Can someone please help ??
I have a Macbook Pro (13 in.) Mid-2010 which is running Mountain Lion OS X Version 10.8.2 (12C60).    I have had this computer for over 2 years and have NEVER had a problem with it and have loved it until 2 - 3 weeks ago, it suddenly started giving me problems. I have never cracked open the inside of any computer, but am seriously considering attempting to replace my hard drive (I've read so many different potential issues that may be the reason for my macbook problems, the hard drive disk being one -- not really sure why i'm leaning towards that one, but I'm desperate).
Here's What's Going On:
1. I frequently am getting the spinning beachball that will spin for, sometimes, seconds and sometimes SEVERAL minutes. The spinny beachball has been a rare occurrence in the past, but when I used to get it, I could just ForceQuit the application and restart it - problem solved..... NOW, I am not able to use ForceQuit. When I attempt to access the ForceQuit menu, it will not appear until the freeze/beachball problem has stopped and so at that point, there is no need to quit the app.
2. Starting my computer has become REDICULOUSLY SLOW. The slow startup problem began occurring at the same time as the beachballs. I'm getting to the white screen with the apple, and that's where it stays for anywhere from 15 - 45 minutes. There have been times that I tried to start it up but it took such a long time so I powered it down while it was still on the white/apple screen and then powered it back up -- I didn't know if this may be part of the reason for the REALLY long startup times (45 minutes).    But either way, best case scenario, it takes at least 15 - 20 minutes before my desktop appears.
3. Also, this may or may not be related, but there have been 2 occasions during this time where my laptop sound basically became disfunctional. I was not able to get any sound and lost the option to adjust the sound (when i tried, the little image of the speaker with the cross sign going through it would appear). Similarly, on a different occasion, the same thing happened with the keyboard backlighting - it is not working and it does not allow me to adjust the controls, same as the sound issue.
Like I said, I don't know a whole lot of computers, but this is what I've tried so far. - I cleared up some space on the hard drive (currently 101 out of 250 GB are free).   - I did the Disk Utility >> First Aid >> Repair Disk Permissions.   - I've copied all my files to an external drive, AND was going to try to Restore my computer to factory settings with the OS X (Snow Leopard) Installation Disc that came with my computer, BUT when I tried it gave me the following message: "You Can't Use This Version Of The Application 'Install Mac OS X' with this version of OS X. You have Install Mac OS X 23.1.1".   .... so, I guess I can't override Mountain Lion with Snow Leopard (?).....    And that's pretty much it. Now I'm considering replacing the hard drive while crossing my fingers.
OH YEAH, I forgot to mention.... and I'm not 100% on this ... but my problems started occurring in early October.... wasn't there a Mountain Lion update around that time???   It seems like I did an update around that time, but i could be wrong AND it may not be the problem .....    So....
IS THIS HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE ??
ANYONE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE SYMPTOMS I PROVIDED AND GIVE A DIAGNOSTIC OPINION OR OFFER SUGGESTIONS AS TO WHAT I SHOULD DO NEXT ??
ANY HELP AND ALL SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED !!

That is precisely what my mid-2010 MacBoook Pro 13 was doing before the drive finally died after an Apple Genius rebooted it a dozen or so times. I have since read about the exact same thing happening to others, including a writer for The Atlantic magazine who had never had an issue with a Mac before. Do a back-up ASAP to make sure you don't lose anything and see about replacing the HDD. It is only about $140 for a new drive. The real issue is if you lose your data, too. So, make sure you do that back-up!

HELP!!! Computer not starting properly

Hey, I can't get my computer to start up properly. After I turn off the computer and try to turn it back on, the D-bracket shows the four red lights, which is supposed to be a damaged or incorrectly mounted processor.
I know that there is nothing wrong with the processor, because it has worked fine in other mobos, and I'm almost positive that it is installed properly, because I've had a bit of experience doing it.
To get the computer to start up, I have to detach the video card, turn on the computer for a few seconds, turn off the computer, reattach the video card, and then turn the computer back on. It starts up fine after that. What is the problem? Any suggestions would be great. :O

P.S. Everything has worked fine on a different mobo, the only thing I'm not sure of is the one I'm using now.

Macbook pro fan making loud noises and going really fast. Now the fan doesn't work at all and my computer gets extremely hot almost instantly. Is there a way to fix it without having to pay a ton of money to have someone fix it for me?

I've had my Macbook pro for about 3 1/2 years now. It has worked great until recently. A few months ago I noticed that the fan would always run really fast when I was doing simple tasks. After a few weeks/months, the fan was still really fast but it also started to make these loud noises. Now, it only occasionally makes the loud noise if I move my computer after its been stationary for a while. The fan no longer works at all and my computer gets exceptionally hot almost instantly when I turn it on. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to pay a ton of money to have someone fix it for me?

IMac won't start and making loud noises

When I start my iMac, the fan makes a really loud noise, it goes onto a grey screen showing a folder and a flashing question mark and face. My mac is a few years old and has lines going down the screen. Wondered if there was anything I could do to save it?

Before hauling a heavy computer to an Apple store, make sure you know how old it is, or the exact model. Apple only works on computers made in roughly the last five years, and the iMacs in this forum--G3, G4, and G5 models-- were all made prior to 2006. The description of the vertical lines sounds like a G5.

G5 starts making Electric noise when Open Safari

hi guys
my mac is making electrical cracking when i start up Safari, and i even get the spinning beach ball. It's only with Safari.. Other apps and web browsers don't cause this.
By the way , the cracking i'm referring is similar to when the computer normally starts up and loads the dektop.

Hey thanks,
It seems to have worked. I reseted safari . Well at first even with restarting i was still getting crack sounds but i restarted again and safari seems smoother and i didn't hear the crack sounds

Macbook Pro making loud noise

Hi, I am writing because I recently purchased (not really about two months ago) purchased a Macbook Pro. Now I have had this problem since the week after I bought my computer. I never brought it in because, well it was a present from my father and it seemed kind of like, I felt like scared because since it did cost 2,000$ I was scared to tell him. (I am younger than 16, so I have grounds to be scared.) So the problem is there is a loud noise that sounds like a messed up fan, but its sadly not, it comes from the top left of my computer. Next to the speaker spot, I don't even use my computer. It's like Manufacture settings because since it was broken I never wished to use it. So basically the noise is to the point where I would rather keep the computer off than turn it on. Now I am willing to do anything to get it fixed. I just wish I could use it without having to hear this noise.

If it's a manufacturer defect, it's covered. If it was caused by damage/mistreatment, then no. The fans should be quiet (and the cool the chips, mainly)...during heavy CPU activity you may hear them, but the sound should not be loud, and you'll mostly hear the moving air. I'd recommend taking it in.

Any way to stop new MacBook Pro hard disk from making loud noise??

I received a brand new MacBook Pro today, and I thought everything was fine. However, when I went to use it in a very quiet room late at night, I noticed an almost unbearable noise coming from the right side of the trackpad. From reading previous discussions, I realize that it is likely the hard disk which is making the noise, and a design flaw makes the noise seem louder.
For other people who have the same problem, is there anything that can be done to make the noise go away?

You can return it for a replacement within 14 days of purchase.

Help - Yoga Pro 3 Apps Will Not Open

I am looking for some help troubleshooting why my apps will not work.
I click on an app, the app begins to initialize, but then immediately closes. I am then sent back to the windows start screen. Any app I attempted to open will show up in the task manager side bar, but the apps will still not open if clicked from the sidebar.
Any help would be appreciated!

While doing a clean install may be the final solution know that you have to visit multiple locations on your drive to "properly' remove DVDSP. There is a technote on this topic. An incomplete removal only seems to complicate things.
Create a new account as Hal has suggested and see what happens. If it does not work focus on getting the current DVDSP off the drive(leaving other pro apps in place), ditch preferences, and fix permissions.
Using both accounts do a random check of the remianing apps to make sure there is not a complex issue happing on your drive.
Reinstall DVDSP but open the app (not your project) first in the new account. If all si well then do the same for your account.
If all remains well then open your project. If it works then you are gold; if it doesn't at least you have knowledge that something within your project is off balance.
OT: This is one of those "dark arts" ideas that seems logical to me but has no practical justification. With DVDSP off take your project folder and move it to the Public folder. Then fire up DVDSP and open the project. You'll get the broken links message so point to the new location and let the links rebuild. This task might fix things behind the scenes.

My 2012 MacBook Pro 13' just suddenly started running at a snails pace?

I got my MacBook about a year ago and it has run well the entire time but for some reason yesterday it started to run very slowly. It doesn't have to do with the Wi-Fi because I've been several different places and the programs will start they just take a very long time to do so. Does anyone know what could be the problem. Do I need to reset the system or something? When I listen to it run it sounds like it's running in bursts, could it be a fan issue? Whatever it is, it's freaking me out, I need my computer. Thanks for all of the help!

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Chann|GPU D|I/O' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the window will be empty. If you get output like this:
kernel[0] <Debug>: disk0s2: I/O error
the boot drive is failing, or there's some other hardware fault in the storage subsystem.
If you get output like any of this:
kernel[0] <Debug>: ** GPU Debug Info Start **
kernel[0] <Debug>: ** GPU Debug Info End **
kernel[0] <Debug>: NVDA(Private): Channel timeout!
kernel[0] <Debug>: NVDA(OpenGL): Channel timeout!
there's a fault in the graphics processor or logic board. The two kinds of output are not mutually exclusive, but if you get both, a logic-board fault is likely.
