If possible, I'd make sure to register it on Apple's online system at first start IN THE STORE, and verify it is a kosher serial number before walking out. That way you'll be sure to be covered by the warranty. If the machine is fake, Apple's system won't accept the serial number. If it is stolen and already registered to someone else, it won't accept the repeat registration.

  • Babylon browser hijack has taken over my firefox. I have deleted all files that I can from my hard drive, I have gone to about:config, searched for babylon and reset the settings, however it still comes back. How can I get rid of babylon?

    I have tried malwarebytes, it only found "mywebpage" bugs, but I deleted them too. I also did a scan of my hard drive and deleted five files that all contained "babylon" in them. It still comes back time and time again.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

    Just download and install 5.7.1. Don't worry about earlier versions.
    You'll need to enter your serial number to license the software.

  • How can I tell if my iPad is about to overcharge?

    How can I tell if my Ipad is about to overcharge?  I can I avoid overcharging it? Thanks!

    There are no modern day consumer electronics that you can overcharge... they all have protection for this, i.e. they stop charging when full.  This may not be completely true for some really cheap Chinese knock-offs.

  • HT204291 my airplay from my MacBook Pro to my tv through my apple tv is fuzzy- it just started being fuzzy about 2 months ago- it used to be clear- anyone else have this problem?  How can I fix it?

    my airplay from my MacBook Pro to my tv through my apple tv is fuzzy- it just started being fuzzy about 2 months ago- it used to be clear- anyone else have this problem?  How can I fix it?

    Hi freezebri,
    The following steps may resolve your issue:
    Apple TV: Basic troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1551
    If your TV screen appears fuzzy or black (you see no video)
    Make sure the television you are using supports the Apple TV resolution requirements. Please see the Apple TV technical specifications.
    When you connect power, check to make sure the LED turns on. If the LED is not on, then verify with a known good power outlet or connect something else to the outlet you're using for Apple TV and make sure it works (such as a lamp or clock).
    Make sure you're using the correct video cables and that they are connected firmly to Apple TV and to your TV.
    Connect the HDMI cable directly into the Apple TV and your television, remove any third party devices or adapters.
    Make sure the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
    Change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the Menu and Up button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the Selectbutton will immediately cycle to the next resolution.
    If you are connected via HDMI, try unplugging and replugging your HDMI cable.
    If HDMI isn't working on an Apple TV (1st generation), try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily). Read more about HDMI vs component video.
    Hope this information helps ...

  • I received a message about having too many contacts?  Not sure what this means, didn't know there limitations on contacts.  Can you tell me about fixing this problem?

    I received a message about having too many contacts?  Not sure what this means, didn't know there limitations on contacts.  Can you tell me about fixing this problem?

    What were you doing when you received the message?
    I have seen reports on these forums where there is a limit to how many contacts you can have in the "to" field of a text message. That is the only thing I can think of where someone has reported getting a warning about too many contacts.

  • Hey, I'm doing some cross browser testing and i want to know Is there any difference between the behavior of Firefox in an operating system 64bit & operating system with 32bit. (like windows7/windows vista...)

    Hi Kossa,
    You can also check if the issue occurs in
    Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
    Besides, uninstall it and re-download
    a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
    If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

  • How can I tell if Watercoolant is leaking or about to fail?

    I just bought a G5 dual 2.5 ghz on ebay and have now read about these sorts of issues (ugh). The buyer says there's been no issues and it runs excellent. But I want to know if there's an easy way to check if there's something going on that I should be concerned about regarding the watercooling on this unit. This is my first mac.
    Any help?

    I have been working on my dual 2.5 LCS repair for about a month now and have a detailed thread at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1109014&highlight=lcs+repair.
    My latest issue is one processor is running 10-20ºF hotter, especially under load. Plus, I am getting temps north of 200ºF when under heavy load.
    My guess is that the thermal paste wasn't applied correctly. If you have any suggestions please add them to the thread at the link listed above.

  • HT4061 I think I have a virus, yesterday I opened this message from verizon about me owning 1,000 to them. and today I have 8 messages from someone on my ipad. how can I tell or fix my ipad of this virus?

    I think I have a virus, yesterday I got an email from Verizon that I own $1000 and I tried to open it and now I have 8 emails from the same sender. DO I have a virus and what should I do to clean my ipad?

    Chances are your iPad is fine. when you clicked on that e-mail, you confirmed to them 'hey, real person' so now Mr Spammer is working towards his 'make money from home' quota of spam by sending you multiple e-mails. You can block him - I'm not sure what e-mail client you're using so no idea for exact instructions, but you'll probably need to do this on a computer not via the iPad) and you could report him....wouldn't hold my breath that the report will actually accomplish anything beyond the person being blocked.
    The iPad's operating system is different from the OS of a PC or Mac. Viruses written for one can't run on the others. (and iPads dont' get viruses in the strictest definition of the term, malicious programs that propogate themselves across the operating system)
    The down side, even if you block this person, they know your address is a 'live' one so you'll need to be alert and aware because I'm sure more spam and phising mails are on their way.
    If you did enter ANY info, make calls and start changing passwords ASAP.
