How to disable Norton antivirus in 2008 MacBook?

I'm missing the scrollbar when I open individual emails in my Yahoo account.That is the only place in my entire computer that the scrollbar is missing. I need to disable the Norton Antivirus as part of a diagnostic checklist. I don't see anything in the finder window that is applicable to perfoming that operation. Wht am I overlooking? Where is the icon or appropriate folder?

Here are instructions: http://service1.symantec.com/support/nip.nsf/docid/2003071515220236

How do I migrate from a 2008 MacBook Pro without a screen to new 2014 MacBook Pro?

How do I migrate from a 2008 MacBook Pro without a video screen to a 2014 Macbook Pro?

Use your backup drive instead. No backup drive, then get a monitor and connect it to your computer. Or take the whole shebang to the Apple Store for help with the transfer. Or you can remove the drive from the old MBP and put it in an external enclosure.

How can I plump up my 2008 MacBook white?!

Hello clever people. I sold my fancy MacBook Pro to go travelling so have now reverted to my trusty 2008 MacBook White and have updated to OSX 10.7.5.
I would like to know how I can beef up my performance - I know I can upgrade my memory but I want to do as much as possible so any tips from anyone who has done the same would be great!
Specs are:
2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
150 GB HD
Can I update my RAM and my Hard Drive? How about the processor?
Many thanks!
Tim

You can upgrade Ram (6GB max) and the HDD, not the processor.
Biggest performance will come from fitting an SSD instead of an HDD, plus Ram.
Go to OWC and check your options.

How to restore Factory Settings on 2008 Macbook Original disk or Snow Leopard?

Hi, I've been browsing the forums to try and work out how to restore my 2008 Macbook to factory settings. What I can't seem to figure out is whether to use the Snow Leopard disks or the original disks that came with the computer?
Thanks!

If you want to restore to factory settings use the discs that shipped with the computer when it was new.

How can I connect my early 2008 MacBook Pro to a tv through HDMI?

I was wondering if there is a way to connect my early 2008 MacBook Pro to a tv using an HDMI port. My MacBook Pro has a DVI output. In the past I bought a DVI to VGA adapter and connected it to a TV that had a PC input that took VGA and a 3.5mm audio cable. I was wondering if anybody has found an adapter or cable that takes a DVI and 3.5 mm audio cord and has only an HDMI cord at the other end. I have a new TV that only has HDMI inputs and would like to be able to connect my laptop to it.

Since you have not identified exactly what MBP you have, but mention DVI, I suspect a cable such as this is what you will need.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/380694416929?lpid=82
Understand that 2009 MBPs and earlier do not support audio via DVI or minidisplay port. You would have to tap the audio output port with a cable such as this:

I am not endorsing these cable specifically, these are just examples that represent what connections that are required.

How to transfer/migrate from Late 2008 MacBook Pro to MacBook Pro, with retina?

Is there anyway of directly connecting a Late 2008 MacBook Pro to a MacBook Pro, with retina, in a Target Disk Mode way without having to wait for the magical adapter in July?
Should I go to the Apple Store, buy a normal MacBook Pro, use it to do the transfer, and return it?
Thanks to anyone for taking the time to answer.

There is Setup Assistant when you first boot the new Mac, over wireless it's supposed to migrate for you, however I hear it can take hours and days to complete.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/MacBook_Pro_Retina_QuickStart.pdf
Another faster method would be to use the free/donations Carbon Copy Cloner the old Mac to a blank USB3, 2,1 drive, then hook it up to the new Mac and use Setup Assistant (or Migration Assistant) that way, it will think it's another Mac.
You can also simply drag and drop files into a same named account on the new machine manually from the clone.
It should take about a hour per 250GB to clone, about another hour for Setup Assistant.
Over wireless it could take a eternity.

How to uninstall norton antivirus

how to uninstall norton iantivirus from mountain lion?

Uninstalling Norton or any Symantec product is not trivial and requires that you run Norton's uninstaller to ensure all its bits are thoroughly eradicated. Read about it here:

How to re-install my late 2008 Macbook, if I can't find my original installation DVD?

I would like to re-install my late 2008 Macbook, however I can't find my original installation DVD. Can I just buy an new OS X 10.7 Lion DVD from Apple Store, then put it into Macbook DVD slot to restart my new OS X instllation without my original inBox installation DVD?

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

How can I tell if my 2008 Macbook is dying?

I have a Macbook that was purchased in August of 2008. I have replaced my battery once. However, now it will say not charging, even if it sometimes does charge. My airport will shut off automatically if my computer sits idle for a few minutes and restarting the MAC is the only way to fix it. Also, I have a set wireless network, yet sometimes it chooses to connect to other networks that aren't mine. The internet runs tortoise slow. We even changed our internet provider and speed hoping that was the issue and it still takes a really long time to load a site. Today I went to turn it on and it wouldn't cut on. I gave it a few minutes and tried again. It sounded like it was powering on, but the screen stayed black for an unusually long time. Eventually, the blue screen came on for a minute or two, then went back to black, and then blue again, taking almost 5-6 for my home screen to load. There are occasional times when it will freeze, but they aren't too frequent. The biggest issue is the internet speed. It is very fast on all our other apple devices, but an awful experience on the MAC. I have 3 online classes, which I use daily. I check emails and use my itunes for my iphone and backing up purposes. What I am getting at is whether or not these are signs of an aged macbook? All my software updates are up to date and I believe it is running OS X Leopard. I don't think a 5 year old Macbook is worth putting much money into, but I could be wrong. Would it be better to replace or repair? I'm really just lost. I'm not tech savvy. I know I need it to work and work well and quick. I rely on my MAC for all things school related, so it's very important to have it in tip top shape. ADVICE, please?
Thank you.

Try resetting the router.
Also, I have a set wireless network, yet sometimes it chooses to connect to other networks that aren't mine
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced. Drag your network to the top of the list. Delete any networks you don't use.
The internet runs tortoise slow.
Try this DNS.
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK. Try a browser.
If it's still slow, check your download / upload speed here > Speedtest.net by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test
If the download speed is less than 10Mbps, contact your ISP for information about upgrades for a high speed broandband connection.
whether or not these are signs of an aged macbook?
Not really. Perhaps just needs maintenace. Check the startup disk for errors.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.

How can I reflash firmware on 2008 Macbook 4,1?

It looks as though the firmware that was installed after updating my Macbook 4,1 to 10.6.8 fried my Macbook. I can only assume that something went wrong with the update, as the Macbook was working fine up till then.
10.6.8 seemed to install fine. I repaired Permissions both before and after the 10.6.8 update.
After rebooting, Software Update found the firmware update was needed; I didn't look at the info, but I think it was 1.4. I pressed okay and the install started. The firmware seemed to proceed as normal: solid progress bar filling in from left to right.
The MB rebooted and since that time I've had big problems with the Macbook.
Just to note: I don't remember if I repaired Permissions before or after the firmware update, or both.
I note this because after the firmware update, I didn't use the Macbook, so I can't confirm if it was workig properly or not at that point.
I left it then and came back the next day, when I found it in Sleep.
When I woke the Macbook, the desktop was "fuzzy", out of focus.
The Disk Utility windows was open in the background, and IIRC permissions had been repaired successfully.
Oddly, there were segmented progress bars running horizontally across the screen, about the same height on the screen as the progress bar for the firmware update. These bars were about a half-inch in length and a quarter-inch in width, positioned vertically; there were about 10 of them.
They started filling in from left to right.
But before they could fill in entirely, the screen went black.
And since then I've had serious problems with the black screen: the Macbook would seem to boot fine, I'd get the boot chime, the display would light up, the blue screen would come up with the Apple logo, the little cog wheel would start spinning, and this would go on as normal for about 1-2 minutes, until the cog wheel paused, the screen went blue, and seemed about to boot to the desktop. But instead, the screen went black.
I've replicated this whether booting from internal HD, external FW HD or retail DVD. The screen always went black.
But the odd thing is that even though the screen goes black, the boot process continues and completes.
If I leave the MB for a couple minutes after the screen goes black during boot, it seems to go into Sleep, but when I press a key it wakes for about 10 seconds. I can see the desktop, the date and time are correct, I'm connected to my home wifi network. If I move really fast, I can even select something from the top bar menu. But then the screen goes black again and the MB goes to sleep.
The MB works fine with an external monitor, but its internal display is not recognized in the Displays preference pane.
And only lately have I noticed that at boot, or when waking the MB from sleep, the front LED flashes 5 times before the MB wakes. There are no error beeps, only the 5 flashes from the LED.
So that's about it. No idea what happened, but it coincided with the firmware update.
Of interest is the fact that the display is not fried, it just has the aformentioned strange behavior.
Unfortunately I've found that Apple has no firmware that I could download to reflash the logic board (if that's the problem). This is the ONLY Apple computer that does not have said firmware available for download.
Any ideas?
Any shot at getting an Apple tech to reflash it? I'd try that, even if I had to pay.
Any and all help greatly appreciated.

Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is $19.99.

Norton Antivirus 6/1/2006 update blocks OracleXE (fix)

It appears the NAV 6/1/2006 virus definition update doesn't like OracleXE (Windows XP Pro).
For those of you like me are not familiar with how to configure Norton Antivirus, here's the simple fix:
Open NAV
Under Options, select 'Norton Anti-Virus'
On the left-side menu, select 'Internet Worm Protection'
Select the 'Program Control' option
Select 'Add'
Locate the OracleXE program in the file open menu...
etc.
++ mcs

Well I tried everything I've found so far with no positive results.
I tried the following several times to no avail:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
I have also tried repairing the .NET framework, I believe I have 3.5 and 4.0.
I also used ccleaner to clean up anything that might have needed fixing.
I made sure to "Run as Admin" in all instances.
I'm pretty much lost and not sure where to go. A big part of functionality of my iPhone is now worthless without being able to synch to iTunes.

I updated and couldn't connect, but I found my culprit, Norton Antivirus.

Three weeks ago I updated my i-tunes to the new 6.03 version and I couldn't to the music store since then. Today i got on the support and services web page and keyed my problem. They said, among other things, to make sure there aren't any third party virus scan programs on your computer. So I disabled Norton Antivirus fro half an hour and now it works.

I think I have the exact same problem. I've discabled Norton Antivirus too and reinstalled and tried to use itunes but it didn't work. You said you disable for 30 minutes. After that what did you do. When you launched itunes and it went directly to the music store did you get connected right away or did you have to wait for a while in that 30 minute disable period?? Thanks!

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place?

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place? If so, how can I disable it or get Adobe Flash Player?

That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)

leroydouglas is correct, DO NOT install Norton or any other commercial anti virus software. They all work very poorly with Macs. If you insist on AV software, consider Sophos, it is free.
If you do wish to update your OSX, here are the available options:
