  • Could anyone tell me please what Mac Shield is?

    yesterday whilst surfing the net, this presumably Anti virus program got installed on my laptop informing me that it is infected! Now i keep getting pop ups about having spywares and how I should get rid of them!
    Can anyone tell me please what Mac Shield is? and whether it is fake or not?
    Very much app

    Mac Shield is a fake program. You are not really having so many virus or spyware as it claims, the real thing should be removed is that fake Mac Shield.
    I find peopel discuss this topic on this page:
    http://blog.teesupport.com/how-to-guide-remove-mac-shield-macshield-virus-manual -removal-instructions/
    There should be videos on youtube to teach how to remove fake Mac Shield, you just need to dig more information yourself.
    Good luck to you.

    how do I move a back up to another external drive and how does the Mac Book then find the new back up?
    I currently have the back up on a Time Capsule, I want to move it from the Time Capsule to another external hard drive.

    Did you read the link to the Pondidni website?  You will have to select the Time Machine HDD for the new MBP and the old one in System Preferences>Time Machine:

  • I made a big mistake to change the setting of my Mac book pro to "me only". Now ofcourse It cannot open the login page, for how would the mac know it is me? How can I change the setting back to "everyone"?

    I made a big mistake to change the setting of my Mac book pro to "me only". Now ofcourse It cannot open the login page, for how would the mac know it is me? How can I change the setting back to "everyone"? I have back up in the past but the last month I have not. I really want to keep the data.
    So how can I go in and change the setting, It stays ofcourse at the apple screen with wheel. All info is there and the computer works fine, just cannot use it or have been able to log in.

    wjosten is spot on.  If you really want iCloud, then you will need to acquire a new or second hand MBP that can run Lion.
    Ciao.

  • I have a 2.33 Ghz 2 Duo.  Is it still possible to upgrade to Lion if so , How ? (my Mac will not accomodate Mountain Lion.

    I have a colleague with a 2.33 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo on which he has Snow Leopard.  He needs to move to Lion 10.7 but can't find how, and his Mac (which is the same as mine) is not able to download Mountain Lion.
         I see that when I downloaded Lion, I should have made a Disc as back up.  However, I did not do this, does anyone know how to move to Lion ?
         Appreciate advice and instructions.

    Also Be Aware that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion... so any PPC Applications you are using will not run...
    AND... Check the Compatibility of Third Party Applications you may be using...

  • I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011. Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011.
    Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

    Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
    After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc.  The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard. 
    The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
    To install the Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
    2 Insert the Mac OS X disc.  If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
    Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
    If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
    Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
    4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware  Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
    5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
    6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
      If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers 
    If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
    To repair Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Start up your computer in Windows.
    2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway. 
    If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
    Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

  • How to deinstall Oracle Developer 6.0

    Dear Pro.
    I wondered how to deinstall Oracle Developer 6.0 from Windows 2000. although i tried using Developer 6.0 CD to deinstalled the products, but after i clicked the remove button. whole windows is gone. using Oracle 8 CD doesn't work too.
    could i just delete the folder which contains developer 6.0, will it work? should i change some path or some data in the configuration file?
    thank you for reading the questions.

    IMO there is just one way that works:
    - first step: look for running forms services (forms server or more), stop them
    - second step: go to the registry, erase the whole key: hkey_local_machine/software/oracle
    -delete the whole directory with forms.
    Its brute force, I know; but it works within 5 minutes!!

    Play all chapters, i mean.
    I have a DVD and I would like to just play a chapter, and discuss it, without the next chapter automatically starting. Usually DVD players have the "Play all" you can turn off and on...but I don't see it with the Mac player.

  • How to do MAC cloning in AirPort Extreme GBit?

    My provider (Verizon Fios) checks MAC address of wireless router and they refused my request to use my own router. In the past, I got around this problem by cloning the MAC address of the router they provided. I just got an AirPort Extreme Base Station with GBit but I couldn't figure out how to do MAC cloning using AirPort Utility. Does anyone know how to do that? Please point me to the right direction.
    Thanks.

    This is stupid! Every other router and ones over 5 years old are capable of doing this. I tried editing the MAC address in the saved file of the base config file, but again, this doesn't work.
    Why doesn't Apple support this? It's a requirement for most home networks operating with Cable modems.
    If there is no way around this, I'm going to be returning this thing, and will not recommend anyone ever getting one.
