How am I able to get rid of Goproit ads, is Goproit a virus?
I have been experiencing problems with ads from Goproit on safari, they are a huge nuisance and I don't know how to get rid of it. Is it a virus or something I can just delete from my mac?
You mean GoPhoto.it?
It's not a virus and you don't need to download or install anything to get rid of it.
If you are only using Safari, simply uninstall it. Use the Safari menu > Preferences... > Extensions.
If you are using Chrome, perform whatever action is equivalent to the above.
If you are using Firefox:
Select the entire line that follows (triple-click to select it), then control-click, and from the contextual menu that appears, select Services > Open:
~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Extensions
Look for a folder with a name consisting of many random letters and numbers within a pair of { } - those are braces. Drag it to the Trash.
For an explanation or how GoPhoto may have come to be installed on your Mac, and how to avoid doing that in the future, read How to install adware.

How am I able to get rid of or reduce the volume on the video I have filmed?
Hi!
How would I be able to get rid of or reduce the volume on the video clip I have filmed?Turn on the audio waveforms in the project window.
Drag in the waveform to select the area you want to reduce and pull down the level line. -
Something was hidden in a download and now these double green underlined hyperlinks show up everywhere, and pop ups too whenever I click on ANYTHING. I can't figure out how to find it and get rid of it.
You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select

Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

HOW I WAS ABLE TO GET ORACLE/LINUX RUNNING
Just like some (or should I say most) of you, it took me pains
(one week at that) to get 8i EE running on Linux.
Here is how I was able to get it up and running:
Environment:
* RedHat 6.0
* Linux kernel 2.2.12
* Blackdown JRE (not JDK) 1.1.6v5
* Mem: 128MB
Create the linux account 'oracle' and make the account a member
of the 'dba' group. The 8i docs contradicts itself saying that
'oracle' should be a member of the 'oinstall' group in one place,
but later on says that 'oracle' should be a member of the 'dba'
group in other places. (In the 8.0.5 installation, 'oracle' is a
member of the 'dba' group, so just follow this tradition).
I have 2 linux machines. Because the machine where I am
installing 8i has several other purposes, I ran X on another
machine and have the OUI display on that other machine, but the
OUI ran on the machine where I installed 8i.
From the host running X, I set "xhost +182.212.1.32" (this is
the IP address of the host where I am installing 8i), telnetted
to the host where 8i will be installed, logged in as 'oracle',
did a 'su', mounted the CDROM, exited from root (thereby going
back to the oracle account), did a "DISPLAY=182.212.1.200:0.0;
export DISPLAY", "cd /mnt/cdrom", and then did ran the installer
"./runInstaller".
If you did not make 'oracle' a member of 'dba', OUI will say "You
are not a member of the 'dba' group.... blah ...." and will ask
you the linux group for OSDBA and OSOPER.
If you DID make 'oracle' a member of the 'dba' group, you will
not get this prompt at all, and you will be asked to specify the
linux group that will be responsible for installing/upgrading
oracle. Specify the group 'oinstall' in this prompt. Basically,
this prompt will 'chgrp oinstall' the directory
'$ORACLE_BASE/oraInventory'.
Cotinue with the installation. You will be prompted to run a
script under the /tmp/oracle/oraInstroot.sh directory as root.
Continuing, I specifed a custom install. After almost completing
the installation, you will be prompted to run the 'root.sh' under
$ORACLE_HOME as root. Note that this script is not executable, so
either "chmod 744 root.sh;./root.sh" or "sh ./root.sh".
At this point, db config assistant will run, but gave me an
exception, something like "JNLSException: No character sets
found." This error was not fatal as it did allowed me to
continue. (Note that I tried setting ORA_NLS33 and NLS_LANG, but
I still had this exception. However, I have not tried downloading
i18n-1.1.6-v5-glibc-x86.tar.bz2 from blackdown. But I do not know
if that will help.). I did not continue with dbassist but exited,
and exited OUI. The reason was that, after telling dbassist to
save to scripts, it cannot even save the scripts!!
Now run dbassist again ("cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin; ./dbassit"). You
will again get the message "JNSLException: No characters found".
I specified an OLTP database. Later on, you will be asked if you
want to use shared server processes (MTS) or dedicated server
processes. At this point, specify dedicated server processes.
(Note: this is important. More on this later).
The SYSTEM datafile need not be initially 175MB. I had mine set
to 75MB.
When prompted if you want to create the db now or save to
scripts, specify save to scripts, and exit dbassist.
Now "cd $ORACLE_HOME/install". The main script (which is
sqlSID.sh --- replace SID with the value of ORACLE_SID), will
simply run other scripts.
Instead of running the main script, run each of the scripts
(that the main scripts was supposed to call) manually in the
order specified by the main scripts. This will help you later on
point out the specific script which may have problems.
The first script will start the instance and create the
database.
Run that first script.
Now here lies the importance of specifying "dedicated server
processes" instead of "shared server processes". If you specified
"dedicated server processes", the db should now be created, and
the script will exit without errors. If you specified "shared
server processes (MTS)", the instance will be mounted but you
will get the message "ORA-01012: not logged on". The db will
therefore not be created. I believe the following quote from the
docs (not included with the linux 8i EE CD, but included
witht he nt 8i EE CD) says it all:
=================================================================
===========
Restricted Operations of the Multi-Threaded Server
Certain administrative activities cannot be performed while
connected to a
dispatcher process, including shutting down or starting an
instance and
media recovery. An error message is issued if you attempt to
perform these
activities while connected to a dispatcher process.
These activities are typically performed when connected with
administrator
privileges. When you want to connect with administrator
privileges in a
system configured with multi-threaded servers, you must state in
your connect
string that you want to use a dedicated server process
(SRVR=DEDICATED) instead of a dispatcher process.
Additional Information:
See your Oracle operating-system-specific
documentation or the Net8
Administrator's Guide for the proper connect
string syntax.
=================================================================
=========
From the above, you should be able to create a db using "shared
server processes (MTS)" from scratch (instead of creating a db
using "dedicated server process" and then later on changing to
MTS), by modifying your tnsnames.ora file. However, I have not
done this.
Now run the remaining scripts that the main script was supposed
to call. The only other problem I had with the scripts was the
last script (the one with SIDjava.sh). I had a problem with the
redo logs, and I got an "end of communication error" in the
middle of the execution of the last script. I have to run this
last script twice to make sure it worked.
I believe the reason for the problem with the last script was
related to what I found out later on, that all the rollback
segments were OFFLINE (except that rbs in SYSTEM)!!!
So probably it is best that, after running the first script, take
the rollback segments online, before continuing with the other
scripts.
After running the scripts and the database created, I then
applied te 8.1.5.0.1 patch, shutting down the database first.
(Run svrmgrl, connect internal, shutdown;)
However, after applying the patch, and starting the database
again, I still get 8.1.5.0.0 and not 8.1.5.0.1 when loggin
in using sqlplus or svrmgrl. Maybe the patch should be applied
first BEFORE creating the db???
Okay, now I have it running for 3 days now. However, I get this
error in my alert files:
OER 536879337 in Load Indicator : Error Code = 570716328 !
... when the instance is mounted, and
Load Indicator not supported by OS
.... several times.
I have not been able to solve these remaining issues.

How to get rid of the ads placeholder in chat view...
how the hell you managed to get rid of the ads placeholder in the top of your chat view ?
The ads should not be shown immediately after you added the Skype credit t your account and changed conversation windows. Did the ads persists even after you restarted Skype?
UPDATE: Just saw that you alreayd stated that the ads persisted even after restart. You shouldn't see ads after adding Skype credits.
Are you sure you used the same Skype account that you purchase the credit for in the Skype application?
Do you recall that you saw the Skype credits shown in your Skype user interface?
If you indeed used the same account you purchase Skype credit for it would be a very bad bug For me this doesn't reproduce though: My account with credits doesn't shown ads in Skype.

I have double and triples of photo's on my iPad. Not all my pics but most of them. I was told that I screwed up in synching with iTunes when I initally set up. How in the **** do I get rid of all the dups? I cannot delete them from my iPad. HELP ME!
If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app. Look there and see if they are still there.
If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows. If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again. Make sure you transfer purchases first. Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced. -
I added a custom ringtone . Then later I tried to add another three set but now after sync . Am not able to get rid of the first one... It's still there as my custom ringtone. But my iPhone in iTunes shows all four... But the phone shows only one...?
Paul--you are a life-saver!! Worked great. I did have to look around to make sure I was getting 4.9 instead of 4.7 (even when the file was named 4.9 at techspot.com), but I finally got the right file, did the install as you suggested, and everything is now fine. One note, though, that I haven't seen mentioned in any of this thread: when I first tried to open up iTunes after getting back to 4.9, the following message appeared: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I merely went to the old .itl file that was created when I did the update to iTunes 5, renamed it, moved it over to my now new 4.9, and iTunes opened fine. My library was a few days out of date, because of the few days' lag from the time I did the iTunes update, but that was easily taken care of, and everything's now working fine. Thanks again!!!
