  • Shellshock? How do I figure out if I need to do something?

    I received an email from Intego, makers of1Password, warning about the Shellshock virus. I'm running the  latest version of Maverick (10.8). What should I do? I haven't heard a warning from Apple.  Surprise! Have you run across this news and, if so,what did you do?
    I'm a longtime user, but have never dealt with programming or "deep" use. I use mail, the Internet, iMessage, Word,Evernote, etc. I bank onlinr.
    Advice?

    Hi Mythdog
    First, go to the Apple symbol on the top left of your screen, then Software Update...
    Install any upgrades that are listed there for Mavericks and Safari.
    Your post says you are running OS X 10.8, but the current version is 10.9.5. If you are not already running 10.9.5 then, after installing the 10.9.5 update, be sure to return to Software Update and install Safari 7.1, which only becomes available after upgrading Mavericks.
    When you are definitely all up to date with Mavericks and Safari releases from Software Update you can either:
    1. Wait for the bash update to appear in Software Update - I expect this will appear there in the next few days - and then install it from there (the simplest option).
    OR
    2. Install it directly from the Apple download page (all updates that are released via Software Update are also available to be installed manually like this) via the link provided previously by Linc:
    OS X bash Update 1.0 for OS X Mavericks: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1769
    If doing 2, you will need to download the update, then click on the disk image that appears within your downloads list, then double click on the installer package icon that appears. Follow the installation instructions. When done, unmount / eject the update's disk image from your desktop (right click on it), then drag the update's disk image from your downloads list into your trash. All done!

  • My iTunes is no longer working.  I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program won't open and run.  I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening and I think something has been deleted that I need to open the iTunes.  How do i figure out what is gone

    I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program still won't open.  I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening.  Instead the site tried to install a new audio player.  I did not want it so uninstalled it immediately.  I think in that process something was deleted that I need for iTunes but I do not know what.  How do i figure out what is gone and recover it?
    I did try a system restore - but that was not a fix either.

    I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening.  Instead the site tried to install a new audio player.
    Ackk ... that behavior is consistent with the play_mp3.exe trojan:

    Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

    Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

    Does the label on the original retail carton spell out the detail further?
    Depending on the build model year and other identifier, more information
    may be obtained, even by use of serial number or model number online.
    Some private sites that may or may not be secure, are available; some
    may show varying degrees of the build information and specification...
    And there is this Support article from Apple:

  • I have an IPad with a Restriction code that we cannot remember.  Is it possible to delete and restore the IPad without the code?  If not how do I figure out the code or how t? o remove it?

    I have an IPad with a Restriction code that we cannot remember.  Is it possible to delete and restore the IPad without the code.  If not how do I figure out the code or how to remove it?

    The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.  Hope you have a backup.
    Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
    Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.
     Cheers, Tom

    how do I figure out if I have usb 3.0?  I am trying to buy compatible external hard drive (western digital my passport for mac) and I can not figure out if it will work with my mac book.

    Dont buy a Western Digital, get a Hitachi or Seagate (Toshiba is made by Hitachi). These are the most reliable, and the HD used inside Macs.
    ALL HD can be made compatible with your MAC (including a WD if you already bought same), ......they just need to be formatted for the Mac platform, format them in Disk Utility as Mac OSX extended journaled.
