Hi,
i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. What about the update for Flash Player? Should i install it? Otherwise, should i permanently remove this app?
I realy need some advice.
Thank's to all.

Be sure to install the latest version of Safari (version 5.1.7) which is available via Software Update (in the Apple menu) if you have not already installed it. This update will automatically disable older versions of Flash when new versions are available, and will instruct you on how to install the latest version on your system. This should help keep your system safe from any vulnerabilities in Flash.
Note that this is only useful if you use Safari, though other browsers have their own update mechanisms you should research and enable or configure to your liking.

I cant update to Lion 10.7 and there is no way a i can download the update from apple unless i pay... AGAIN????

I bought a MacBook Pro last year. I have a redeem code for Os X Lion 10.7. I had to erase all my data on HD. Now i cant update to Lion 10.7 and there is no way a i can download the update from apple unless i pay... AGAIN????

Exactly which Mac OS X version is currently intalled?
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
If you see v10.7 you can use Lion Recovery to reinstall OS X.

Hello Pushtheriver,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:

This may also help:
Understanding iOS device capacity
You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Acpid vs dbus vs laptop-mode-tools - What's the relationship?

I disabled acpid from daemons, and uninstalled it, and to my surprise, the Suspend option still appears in the XFCE4 logout window, and when I open the lid the lappy comes right back. I had been under the impression that acpid was required for actions to take place on lid open/close. After a bit more research it appears that acpid is nothing more than a daemon that watches /proc and /sys for power and laptop related events, and that any daemon can do this, and in fact, cpufrequtils is such a daemon that just has a subset of events that it watches.
Then I noticed today that on my Arch that when I close the lid, my LCD brightness goes down, and I have to use the function keys to bring brightness back. If I don't have acpid or laptop-mode-tools installed, I assume that dbus is handling this dimming? Or the hardware BIOS?
Why isn't dbus handling things like AC adapter plugging and unplugging, and button events? Is there any reason to use acpid at all these days?

Confirmed that like pogeymanz, laptop-mode-tools really does nothing without acpid. I guess it will set some of the other static values for devices listed in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/ but that's it. Tested by setting laptop-mode-tools to change the cpu scaling governor to powersave on battery, disabling acpid and unplugging laptop, then running cpufreq-info. No change.
Then started acpid again from the init script, plug and unplug, now governor is powersave.
It appears that acpid is a hard dependency, and that package should really be changed to fix that. If you look at the file list, there are 6 scripts placed into /etc/acpi/events/
etc/acpi/actions/lm_ac_adapter.sh
etc/acpi/actions/lm_battery.sh
etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh
etc/acpi/events/lm_ac_adapter
etc/acpi/events/lm_battery
etc/acpi/events/lm_lid
So laptop-mode-tools isn't even watching the acpid socket itself (/var/run/acpid.socket), and it relies solely on acpid to tell it about AC and lid status, so any configuration that you do in laptop-mode-tools that depends on checking for normal status changes on a notebook computer will fail to change anything without acpid installed and running.

I updated to Lion os x and can't use microsoft office 2004 i can't o

I updated to Lion os x and now can not use Microsft Office 2004, I cant open it or uninstall it, it just says powerPC applications are no longer supported.
I have lost all emails on Entourage and can only retrieve emails via hostway that have been delivered today.
Trying to get help from Apple care is a nightmare as they need a serial number, which Lion being a digital download does not have one only web order number, which does not work when I put in serial box.
Can any one help me please, I am getting so frustrated

dual partition just means splitting the space on your hard drive into two, having Snow Leopard on one part and Lion on the other so you could use Office '04 on the SL side. I am pretty sure installing '11 won't delete '04, but can't say with 100% certainty. You can also check out free word processing programs such as OpenOffice and LibreOffice.

I accidentally pushed the power button of my macbookpro... it restarted but doesnt open... what appears now is a flashing FOLDER logo with a QUESTION MARK on it.. can someboby help me to fix this?

(Assuming you don't have a firmware boot lock set)
First easy step...
1. Shut down the computer if it's on (hold the power button down... until it shuts off)
2. Press the power button
3. Immediately press AND hold the Option key ASAP
Hold until drive option images appear in a single row across the screen. Typically most people running 10.7 or 10.8 will see 2 drive options to boot from: the main volume they usually boot from, and a recovery volume. If your main volume pops up. Use the cursor or arrow keys to highlight/select the main volume and press enter. That should boot your main volume. Let me know what you get from this point... I'll give you more as you go along.

In the iPhoto editing tools, what is the purpose of the tool "Definition". What does it do?

In the iPhoto editing tools, what is the purpose of the tool "Definition". What is it used for? I did an iPhoto Book; a few photos were a little "off".

It quite literally adds definition to the photo. Don't ask my the technical procedure for this, but it makes more details visible in the photo.

When I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

On my new iPAD2, when I tap an icon for a long time it doesn't flick. What can I do for that?

On my new iPAD2, when I tap an appls icon for a long time it doesn't flick. What con I do for that.

Try this and see if it helps.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or....
Quit all apps and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your 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 of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button. 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.

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Hi All,
I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.
What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?
Thanks in advance,
LaVIEWan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

While creating an account from my iPad there is no option for selecting none in the payment options. It states I have to give my credit card details. What's the procedure to open a free account?

It's in the article. You must first sign-out your current account, then go to App store to purchase a Free App. It will ask you to either Sign in or create a new AppleID. That's when you start creating a new AppleaID and NONE will be available as a payment option.

App Store, Pages 5.0, Evernote, and other Apps will not fully function after installing Mavericks. What is the issue and how can this be solved?

Hello all, I could use some serious help on some major issues I have been having after installing Mavericks on my system (specs stated below). Never has a mac felt ever so rebelious and broken before in my lifelong period of using these systems. Anyway, after installing system 10.9, I had opened the mac App Store upon seeing that applications such as my iWork suite all had free updates. However, when I would attempt to navigate to the updates window, it would not respond to my various attempts. I then tried to get there by the system's menu bar and to my dismay, nothing would work when I clicked on it, not even the apple logo menu. I later quit the application using Command-Q and opened up the App Store by the apple menu option 'Software Update...' instead. Though it looked promising since the updates window did open, all update buttons or even '...more' info buttons were unresponsive. These same problems persisted even after restarting my computer. I had also attempted to see if repairing definitions would help by booting from the recovery start-disk and using disk utility but the repairs it carried out apparently had nothing to do with my issue. Finally, I was able to update to the new iWorks suite (which interestingly did not replace the iWorks '09 suite) by following the notification that asked about allowing automatic updates which I did.
Once trying to use Pages 5.0, I soon noticed that all I could do was merely type in a new document and change various options via key commands. Neither the inspector or top bar menus would respond to any place I click. Similarly, Evernote only starts up on the last used note and merely allows me to scroll through it. The top bar menus, the note select pane, and even clicking inside the note to input text are all not functioning and uninfluenced by any mouse clicks.
I have noticed other apps that will not respond to any sort of input, but I still have not explored all applications to know what the issues of each may be. However there are some applications that work such as Safari, Google Chrome, dolphin, iWork '09 including Pages '09, and others.
I do hope that I can avoid rolling back my system, but in the meantime, it has been quite the obticle course to use my computer for all of my school purposes.
Any help is very much appreciated,
Thank you!
