HT5246 Everyone has Java installed - how can this tool work?
Every Mac (and PC user for that matter) has Java installed. Even if you did not have it, Apple's last two updates installed new versions. How can this malware tool work? And why is it limited to Lion?
Apple - this is not what your customers rightly expect and could be crippling to your reputation.
Do this over and do it right. Thankyou.
Every Mac (and PC user for that matter) has Java installed.
That's incorrect.
How can this malware tool work?
By updating Java, if present, and removing the malware files, if present.
And why is it limited to Lion?
It isn't. There's a Java update for Mac OS X 10.6.8 that does the same things.

Buddy list all gray--how can this not work??
I've got iChat 3.1.8 and only opened it when i got a little Logitec USB camera. Plugged everything in, set all the settings, and added my buddy (another Mac user). I could not initiate a video chat because my buddy list names and icons are all gray. There are NO green icons at all. But she said I showed up just fine in her buddy list, and when she initiated the chat it worked perfectly. We had a nice chat. But when we tried again from my end, still no color in my life.
The camera has worked fine since I plugged it in. I bought and installed iChatUSBCam v2.2.1, which allowed me to set a few more settings. Alas, nothing has changed.
I've read this question a few times on the board and--most frustrating--they all seem to say "Oh, it worked itself out." But mine isn't working itself out. Camera and microphone are enabled. No one is blocked. I'm lost.
ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.10)Hi M Smith 1,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
In System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall tab is the Firewall On ?
Have you set the iChat ports in a New options if it Is ?
Did those ports include 5190 on UDP ?
If Yes to these three question use the Advanced button.
Does this have the "Block UDP Traffic" item ticked ?
If so deselect it.
The iChat ports also need to be open in your modem and any separate router.
If Port Forwarding was used here it must point to the IP that your computer is getting or using. ( See System Preferences > Network > (Select connection method) > TCP/IP tab )
On some modems and or routers the forwarding or use of TCP and UDP protocols on port 5190 seems to cause a conflict.
iChat can have the login to AIM and text chatting moved to a different port.
iCHat > Preferences > Accounts
Select the AIM or @mac account on the left
Select the Server Settings tab
Whilst Logged out of AIM change the port to 443.
If all these do not work go to Users/(your Account)/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist and restart ichat

How can this pattern work? need help!!
the model i need have 3layers:JSP+EJB+SocketServer, i know EJB can act as Socket Client(not Server),but the
main problem is that i must use a .dll or .lib file(written in
c) in EJB to packge the socket data.someone says EJB
can use JNI while EJB Spec won't allow it, i dont't want
to take the risk also.Is there any other way can work?
(use runtime in EJB?)
if EJB can't work in this pattern,can i have another choice? (JSP and SocketServer can't be replaced)
NEED HELP!Use the Mediator pattern.

I'm trying to make a script to control the various functions of my awesome netbook, but even though my design is ingenious , it doesn't work. I've tried everything and I just don't see why it can't work.
If you start it without arguments, it will ask interactively for the arguments and it works. It works if you pass the first argument, it asks you straight for the second one.
But it doesn't work if you give both arguments directly. I've tried pretty much everything and I'm about to start punching in walls.
It's my first real bash script though...
Last edited by initbox (2009-03-08 16:00:20)Now it works!
All I had to do was add $ in the if-variables and add spaces into the if-conditions.
Thanks guys.
Use it if you find it useful, don't care about credits or w/e.

Adobe Bridge has been deleted and needs to be re-installed. How can this be done without reinstalling the entire CS5
Hi RDMDanielM,
Welcome to the Community!
We cannot install Adobe Bridge as a Standalone product, you can just reinstall Photoshop and Bridge will be reinstalled with it. Go ahead and start uninstalling CS5 suite but choose Photoshop from the list and the same will be applicable while Installation.
Thanks!

Dear all,
I am new to this community even though I have been a Apple user for years, so please forgive me if this question is not in the right section.
Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? I've always been happy with these two products until the update - now the battery life is considerably shorter which is extremely frustrating.
How can this problem be solved? Is there any way to go back to the previous version?
Thanks for your help.If you update using iTunes the phone is first wiped clean, then the new OS is installed, and finally the backup is restored. After this finishes if you sync your music should be restored. Music is not in the backup, because it is already on your computer and duplicating it would use up a lot of hard disk space.
An OTA update just patches what has changed; it does not disturb content. -
My laptop has broken and i have been given a new one by apple - this has changed my serial number so my Adobe Ps,Ai etc are not working and say my licence has expired. How can i get this to work?

iTunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved? What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?
Many people have the same problem. However, there is little or nothing readily available to users. This problem has existed for two or more years. Does anyone have anything to offer about this disturbing problem?Thanks for the suggestion kcell. I've tried both versions
9.0.115 and 9.0.124 and both fail with the policy permission error.
I also tried with and without your crossdomain.xml file but
with the same result. It looks like this file is intended for URL
policy, instead of socket policy. Recently Adobe separated the two.
When I run with the files installed on my dev PC, it does
work, which makes sense because the flash player isn't loaded from
an unknown domain.
I did get one step closer. If a crossdomain.xml in the server
root exists and the socketpolicy file is loaded from the app folder
then the first two warnings disappear. The logs now show:
OK: Root-level SWF loaded:
https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf
OK: Policy file accepted: https://192.168.2.5/crossdomain.xml
OK: Policy file accepted:
https://192.168.2.5/trunk/socketpolicy.xml
Warning: Timeout on xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:843 (at 3
seconds) while waiting for socket policy file. This should not
cause any problems, but see
http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files
for an explanation.
Warning: [strict] Ignoring policy file with incorrect syntax:
xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993
Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993 by
requestor from https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf is denied due to
lack of policy file permissions.
Which basically says, everything is okay, but you stay out
anyway.
PS: I found the XML schema files here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_02.html
and the socket policy schema:
http://www.adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFileSocket.xsd.
UPDATE: When serving up the policy file on port 843 using the
example perl script then the socket connection seems to be accepted
and the connect succeeds. After that flex hangs trying to logon to
the IMAP server. -

Sorry about the delay; I have called Apple Care sr advisors and spent 3 over 200 hrs explaining the problems to which they always recommend I exchange the Mac with a new one. This is my 5th Mac mini in less than 2 months. Many of the problems are not directly related to windows issues however (in my uneducated opinion should not be happening)Here are the unexplained issues:
1. The sr advisors have been remotely connected to the machine and each one said I was setup on a server;
2. My uid has been replaced with a windows uid (s-18-0-0-1 or sim);
3. All the root certificates seem to be either fraudulent or modified to allow access to root account from remote locations;
4. Apache server is active;
5. WebDAV is configured as well as SQL services;
6. Every newly exchanged Mac mini has iLife uninstalled prior to any updates being installed;
7. Mac updates have warning messages indicating they are not signed properly, "contact software manufacture for more information", apple has no answer to this;
8. Although I have never claimed (nor do I ever want to be computer program literate), I have been plagued by the same issues on Windows PC, Linux and now OS X. My main purpose for needing a secure computer is to write a resume and find employment. In 3 years I have been unable to do either. My data is always Either locked after as read only or is accessible on a URL only.
9. I know this one will only classify me as an insane maniac but It appears as though I am connected to the Internet via an ipv6 udp connection even though my ISP doesn't support ip6 and all GUIs indicate all connections are inactive. This is typical no matter geographical location ie:Denver, San Deigo, Seattle, Boise et al) -
Since 2012 I have Photoshop Elements always worked without any problem, however now the language is suddenly German how can this be changed, removed the program and re-installed, not working. Program is downloaded and updated via the apple app store?
I've done some research on the SQLite database. Whenever Aperture hangs up (like during auto-stack or opening the filter hud) there are thousands of SQLite queries happening. These SQLite queries cause massive file I/O because the database is stored on the disk as 1kb pages. However, the OS is caching the database file; mine's only 12MB. I'm trying to track down some performance numbers for SQLite on osx but having trouble.
It's starting to look like most of the speed problems are in the libraries that Aperture uses instead of the actual Aperture code. Of course, that doesn't completely let the developers off the hook since they choose to use them in the first place.
Oh, and if anyone is curious, the database is completely open to queries using the command line sqlite3 tool. Here's the language reference http://www.sqlite.org/lang.html
Hmm, just found this. Looks like someone else has been playing around in the db http://www.majid.info/mylos/stories/2005/12/01/apertureInternals.html

When I close out Firefox, and return later to use the internet, I click on Firefox and it gives me a message stating that Firefox is already running and needs to be closed before restarting or reboot my system. This occurs every time Firefox is closed and attempt to re-start it,,, not only at times,,,, EVERY time.
I have tried removing Firefox from my system and re-installing to fix this issue however,,, this did not work. After re-installing, I still get the same message when attempting to restart Firefox.
I have also tried Ctrl, Alt, delete to open the task manager and find there is no task to close.
I do not have any problems when using IE, I prefer to use Firefox as it is faster and crashes less than IE.
I am very frustrated at having to reboot my system each time I want to use the internet.
How can this problem be repaired?There are various causes for this error, see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]] for details.

My iPhone has a protective cover on it and I carry it in my pocket a lot. Quite often when I take it out of my pocket the silent/ring switch is off and I am sure it was on when I put the phone in my pocket. How can this be happening?
Protective cover as in screen protector? This would have nothing to do with the silent switch.
If you're referring to an actual case though... take the case off and see if the problem continues.
It may be as simple as the silent switch being lose, which will require a device replacement to resolve. -

☞ 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 Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
