Why, if I have not installed Java, is Flashback malware a threat on my mac?

Older variants of Flashback did not rely on Java, and if you upgraded to Lion after becoming infected with a Java variant, you would still be infected even without Java. (The malware itself does not need Java, only the installer for recent variants does.)

Why when my reader 9.4.1 opens it loads on my windows 7 APJ languages that I have not installed?

why when my reader 9.4.1 opens it loads on my windows 7 APJ languages that I have not installed and how can I turn this off?

MS Windows has this language bar so user can have more than 1 keyboard layout to pick (default switch between the languages is Alt+Shift).
At mine when windows starts the keyboard languages are English (US) as a default and I can change to Greek for local language communication.
The Adobe Reader adds to this keyboard layout 4 more languages usually when I open to read a document (usually through a browser. The result is that after this if I want to continue with my normal keyboard layouts of Eng and Gr I have to either Alt+Shift many time to get from 1 language to the other or open that keyboard layout (as windows call it “Text Services and Input Languages”), install the additional languages and uninstall them to be removed or just reboot the computer to get back to 2 languages.
This is not just happening to me but also to other users in the company as I know.

Why is my itunes not installing properly? I installed it and it was fine, then it started to show Errors. iTunes exe - Entry Point not Found. And the Error 7 (Windows error 127).Itsays to reinstall iTunes. I did that and same error. new pc, same on old

Why is my itunes not installing properly?
I installed itunes day before yesterday, I spent hours last night linking all my music photograph and movie files, its a new windows 8 laptop.
I plugged in my 64GB ipad 3 rebooted it and reloaded all the information I wanted on it, took hours... finally completed this this morning. After this I restarted the laptop to configure my icloud link for the laptop (which I installed last night while I was loading files, I chose to restart later)
on completion I turned my laptop off for a few hours, when I turned it back on I went to itunes to connect my iphone to do the same and I got this message:
iTunes exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point
AVCFPlayerAppliesMediaSelectionCriteriaAutomaticallyKey could not
be located in dynamiclink library F:\Programmes\iTunes.dll
                                                                                           OK
then after pressing 'OK' the following message:
iTunes
iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
Error 7 (Windows error 127)
I went back to apple website to reinstall iTunes, first reinstalled it same again, then unsinstalled it and the reinstalled it, same again.
The same thing happened with my old lap top and I replaced it with this new one at the start of the week.
Has anyone any idea what is going on and how to rectify this problem, I am now going on 3 weeks without iTunes.
Regards,

I started up and plugged in my iPad and then the following message came up:
       iTunes
❗️This iPad cannot be used because the required software is not
    Installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install
    the 64-bit version of iTunes.
                                                                                         OK
I then proceeded to the "iTunes64Setup" expanded folder to load "AppleMobileDeviceSupport64"
Started the install and then received this message:
      Apple Mobile Device Support

   Abort.               Retry.                Ignore
I tried all tree options, last being ignore.
I continued to download the other 2 you suggested with out any drama.
I did a system restart and then opened iTunes.
Connected my iPad
Then message appears:

Press OK and then the next message:

                                                                                       OK
Any suggestions?

Java-Applet-Plug-In shows up in Safari, but I did not install Java

Hello,
in Safari, when you click on "Help" and then on "Installed Plug-Ins", you get a list of all Plug-Ins installed. Beside the Quicktime- and PDF-Plug-Ins there's also this Plug-In listed:
I wonder what this is, because I did not install Java on my fresh installed Mountain Lion.
Second thing I wonder about is this: By the fact that this Applet is listed under "Plug-Ins" what affect does it have, when I uncheck the Option for Java in Safaris securtiy options? Do I also need to uncheck "Plug-Ins", or can I leave it as it is? Same questions, if I pretend Java is installed.
Thanks alot for clearing that up! Again, there's a huge security issue with Java, as seen in recent news. And excuse my English.

After being connectred to a charging source overnight
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why is sizeof operator not in java ?

Hello friends..
I am having one doubt.
Why is sizeof operator not in java ?
Can anybody please help ?
Thanks and Regards

An object often refers to other objects. These object may or may not have multiple references (so counting them more than once is not accurate) The actual amount of memory used is often greater than you might expect if you are used to C/C++. The system also uses memory in sometime unpredicable ways. Many methods create transient objects adding to your memory requirement. Shared libraries, the stack, the JVM itself do not appear in the heap size but use memory. Files accessed by the application can be significantly effect the desirable file cache size.
The only real way to determine your application's memory requirement is to actively test the application, anything else is just guess work.

But something with that name is asking to update.

I want to upgrade to Mavericks. Will I need to reinstall all of my apps and copy my files back to the hard drive? I have not installed an OS on a Mac before and I'm wondering whether it is as involved as on a PC.

Short answer: You do NOT have to reinstall all your apps and copy your files back.
Longer answer: Upgrading the OS does not touch any user files. Upgrading the OS should not interfere with any applications which are compatible with Mavericks. In my experience non-Apple apps are generally left unchanged by the upgrade. It is possible that some apps may need to be upgraded. One good resource for checking application compatibility is RoaringApps.
Finally, it is always wise to backup everything, just in case.

No, nothing you can do to track it if you did not take any measures before the loss.

Dear Friends,

Yes,it is correct. Please read the statement, in the note 1486772 - SAP Systems on Windows Server 2008 R2

CC desktop says "You have not installed any applications yet"

I've previously installed Lightroom, Photoshop and Bridge, all working fine.
Today my CC desktop says YOUR APPS (0) - "You have not installed any applications yet".
I've tried logging out of CC desktoop app and loggin in again.
Tried loggin out of CC desktop, deleting OPM.db file and logging in again. Both unsuccessful.
The applications run fine.
Running Windows 7 Pro 64
How can I rectify this please.
Thanks
Stuart

Found part of the problem.
I had changed the language to English International in the CC desktop application. Changing language from international to north american allowed me to see all the apps.
However I only see Photoshop and Bridge installed. I also have lightroom installed, but it does not show in my list of installed apps.

You have not installed any apps yet

Started Cloud application this afternoon and got the following message 'You have not installed any applications yet' I have 11 apps installed and have been using them for 4 months. Should I click on install to add them again? If CC doesn't know what is installed how will I get the updates?

Hi Richard,
Do the solutions described in this document help?

I lost my ipad how to track it .have not installed find my iPhone app on my ipad .

I lost my iPad Air .. How to trace it . Itz only a week I have got it .. Have not installed find my iPhone app in my ipad .. Itz is a wifi + 3G model .. What to do?

You do not need to install the "Find My iPhone" App.
If you had "Find My iPad" enabled in Settings > iCloud then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it.
If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPad" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPad" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.
