  • Does anyone know where this came from: /System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext

    I have just updated my Dymo Label Program. It installed just fine, then the above statement appears stating that this extension was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update. I don't know what it is from nor who the vendor might be. The label program installed fine, but it will not print, and I keep getting a statement that my printer is off line. I get it back on line and it goes off line each time I try to print. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    It's a component of an obsolete third-party system modification called "Spin Doctor." Follow the developer's instructions to remove it. If you can't find those instructions, see below.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/Extensions/CDSDAudioCaptureSupport.kext
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Empty the Trash.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select

  • How to tell if loaded file came from cache or not?

    Trying to work out how I can tell if a downloaded file came from the cache or was freshly downloaded over the net. I need this because users will download multiple files and I am trying to give make an accurate downloader for them. I have made them download a sample file which I have made not to cache by doing the following:
    private var _loader:URLLoader;
    private var _rootPath:String; = "http:/example.com/speedTest/f4v/";
    private var _startDownloadTime:int;
    private var _targetSpeed:Number //set elsewhere
    private function loadTestSpeedFile():void
                var fileRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
                fileRequest.url = _fullFilePath + "speedTest.f4v";
                var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); 
                variables.nocache = new Date().getTime();
                fileRequest.data = variables;
                _startDownloadTime = flash.utils.getTimer();
                _loader.load(fileRequest);
    private function speedTestHandler(e:Event):void
                var endDownloadTime:int = flash.utils.getTimer();
                var timeElapsed:Number =   endDownloadTime - _startDownloadTime;
                timeElapsed = timeElapsed/1000;
                var bytesPerSec:Number = (SIZE_OF_TEST_FILE/timeElapsed);
                var currentSpeedFactor:Number = bytesPerSec/_targetSpeed;
                trace("Speed Test file downloaded in " + timeElapsed + " secs at " + bytesPerSec + " bytes a sec : speedFactor " + currentSpeedFactor);
                   //remove this handler and download as normal from a list of files
                _loader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, speedTestHandler);
                _loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
              //download the rest of the files
                download();
    I could work out if the other files are downloading much more quickly (say 20X quicker) than the speedTest rate worked out here and then discount it from calculating the download speed and estimated time remaining.
    However, it would be much better if there was a way to access properties on the URLoader on the Event.COMPLETE handler to see if the file 'downloaded' was taken from the cache or not. Anyone know of way of doing it more elegantly than the hack described in the last sentence?

    Kglad,
    Thanks for the interest and reply. Yes, you are right the file load preventing the file being cached is stictly a different matter from that which is bugging me.  I am, however,  using the Progress Event (as in flash.events.ProgressEvent ) in the following event handler listening to it:
    private function progressHandler(e:ProgressEvent):void
                var percent:Number = (e.bytesLoaded/e.bytesTotal)*100;
                  //other code to resize the gui loader ie scaling it to the percentage.
    Again this just tells me how much has been loaded each time the event is fired. On the Event.COMPLETE handler I am getting the load timings pretty much as per the
    speedTestHandler(e:Event) I posted. The only difference there is that it loads from an array of filenames (most but not all of which can change on later replays - hence some will be cached and some not) What i need to know is where the file is loaded from - either from the server or the local systems cache. The only way round this is to discard very quick downloads (which must be from the cache) from true calculating download speeds but that is a bit hit and miss. I am asking for a better solution. Hope that makes sense...

  • How do I know if the email from Apple asking for credit card information is genuine

    Hi, I just received an email from Apple Worldwide telling me they've suspended my account momentarily until they can certify my details which includes wanting credit card info etc.  how do I know it's genuine?

    Hello pegglekatie,
    This e-mail is not from Apple.
    The iTunes Store will never ask you to provide personal information or sensitive account information (such as passwords or credit card numbers) via email.

  • How can I find where this came from? - start up disk almost full

    Hi, my mac began saying this to me today "Start up disk almost full"
    So I began deleting files. I deleted a lot via DiskWave.
    But now Diskwave says I have enough space but my mac sure doesn't.
    What do I do? What's all that 'other' stuff and where can I find it?
    Thanks in advance!

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
    Launch the built-in 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 by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • I have a virus on my iPad that sends out bogus emails to everyone in my contact list. I don't know where it came from (email, apps not from iTunes, etc) but it sits somewhere on my iPad. Does anyone know of a scanning app that will find and eliminate it?

    I have a virus on my iPad that sends out bogus emails (no subj and an URL that goes nowhere) to everyone in my contact list. I don't know how it got on my machine (email, non-iTunes apps, etc.) Does any one know of a scanning app that can find this virus and eliminate it? I have an iPad version 3 (WIFI) with 6.0.2 IOS. This scanner should be capable of running on my iPhone as well -- just in case it made it to to my other IOS machine. Thanks for your help! Steve

    The chances that it's a virus on your iPad or iPhone is very slim. Who is your mail provider? it's far more likely that your address has been spoofed and it's your mail service that has been compromised not your iDevice. I know my Yahoo mail was hacked and people in my address book received spam mails that I didn't send.
    have you changed the address on your e-mail account?

  • Anyone who bought "Magic" get this email from Apple?

    I am a little suspicious that it might not be legit, especially since I did not buy "Magic" on iTunes, although I did gift it. So, anyone know if this came from Apple?
    Dear xxxx,
    Thank you for downloading Devil's Arcade from Magic. An error occurred, and the item you received was the wrong version.
    To correct this problem, we placed a new copy in your download queue. To begin downloading, click this link:

    Yup, I got it. Clicked on the link, new version downloaded. All is right with the world. Though I haven't checked to see what the difference was.

  • I have a picture on my iPad that I don't know where it came from and I don't know how it got there. How can I find out.

    I have a picture on my iPad that I don't know where it came from don't know who it is and don't know how it got  there. How  do I find out how it got there?

    Where are you seeing this picture?
    Its really tough for another user to tell you where the picture came from ...email attachment? ...screen shot?....saved from the Internet?
    It had to be something that you or someone else did on your iPad for this picture to appear - some user action had to be involved.

  • How do I know if this is a legitimate email from Verizon?

    How do I know if this is a legitimate email from Verizon?  It looks like a phishing attempt, but the last 4 digits of my account # are correct.
    Dear Valued Verizon Customer,
    Your services are scheduled to be suspended. To view your suspension letter, sign in to your account at My Verizon. From your Profile, select the View Now button in the My Verizon Notifications section.
    You can also View and Pay Your Bill at My Verizon.
    Notice Snapshot
    Last 4 digits of your telephone/account number: XXXX
    Amount Due to avoid suspension: $XXX.XX
    Payment Due Date to avoid suspension on or before 02/09/2014
    If you are not registered, access the My Verizon Registration Page and select the Register Now option.
    Thank you for allowing us to serve you.
    Sincerely,
    Your Verizon Team

    Any time you are unsure of the legitimacy of a notification like that, go directly to the source. Instead of clicking on any links in the email itself, go directly to verizon.com, sign in, and look at your account. Alternatively, you can call Verizon Billing to verify your account status. They have options for getting ahold of them on teh Contact Us link at the bottom of every page.
    Remeber, it is *always* safer to go directly to company websites yourself than click on links in questionable emails. If the warning is legitimate, you should get the same information.

  • I opened a website that said that all of my files had been encrypted. A popup appeared and asked if I wanted to leave the page, but when I tried to, it wouldn't let me.  How do I know if this is a real problem or not?

    I was researching information for a class and I clicked on a website that said that all of my files had been encrypted.  A popup appeared and asked if I wanted to leave the page but when I tried to, it would let me.  I had to force quit Safari in order to do so.  How do I know if this is a real problem or not? 

    It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    3. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data

  • How do I know if my camera/video is working?

    I can't see the person on Skype, or they, me. Downloaded newest version of Skype....still no pic.  How do I know if my camera is functioning?

    PhotoBooth and Facetime should be in your Dock by default:
    The icon to the left of PhotoBooth in the image is Facetime. A green light next to the camera's lens should come on when the camera is active.
    If these are not in your Dock, open your hard drive icon and they will be in the "Applications" folder.
