Just installed adobe iplayer for the umpteeth time.
Then decided to have a software update immediately on my mac.
Then a small screen appeared afterwards stating maleware virus removed.
What do I do now? Was not aware that I had a virus in the first place.

That latest update is a removal tool for the Flashback trojan.
One of the ways the earlier versions of that trojan were distributed was through fake Adobe Flash downloaders.
Why are you repeatedly installing Adobe Flash Player? (not iPlayer - that's a BBC thing.)
The only place from which to get the Flash Player plug-in is directly from Adobe themselves - Never Trust a Pop Up that says you have a missing plugin!
Also be aware that the Flash Player is not a standalone player; it's a plug-in which installs in the Library and is available for all the browsers to use.
As for what you do now?
Nothing for the moment - you should be clear.
But to be on the safe side, go to the Prefences for each of your browsers and disable Java (not JavaScript - that's a whole different animal). As Java is the vector used by the most recent versions, that should ensure you don't get reinfected.

  • I have to re-install adobe flash for firefox every time i start my computer even if firefox shows that my adobe flash is working it does not.I also get notices from the websites i visit (get flash e.t.c.)

    i have the latest firefox 10.02 in win7 and even if firefox shows is installed my adobe flash is not working so i have to run the flash installer every time i start my pc.After this everything works fine until the next start when i have to run the flashinstaller again

    There are two versions of the Flash Player plugin. One is ActiveX and only works in IE. It sounds like you have that one installed. The other one works in all other browsers.
    What seems to be happening is that you have security software that's blocking one of those versions of Flash/restoring your computer state and so it gets uninstalled when you start your computer. The other possibility is that there are permission issues. Unfortunately, this isn't something that Firefox can control; it's a problem with the Flash installation (Firefox is dumb and just looks in the registry for a list of installed plugins to load).
    Make sure that you're an admin on your computer when you try to install Flash and that you check your security settings. If that doesn't work, try posting to the [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe community forums] to see if other people have had similar issues and know how to address them.

  • I rented to HD movies on Apple TV, biuth at the same time.  I was able to watch one, butb the second says - error while laoding this content, try later - well I tried later numerous times and continuemto get same message.  what is my next step??

    I rented two HD movies on Apple TV, both at the same time.  I was able to watch one, but the second says - "error while loading this content, try later" - well I tried later numerous times and continue to get the same message.  What is my next step??

    No, the film will be available for 30 days, but once you start watching it the clock will start running and it will expire after 24/48hrs (depending on location).
    You said you rented on Apple TV, which has no accessible storage. When you choose to watch it starts to cache to the small flash drive, which is then flushed when you access another movie (or any other content). Everything is streamed so it will need to load each time. If you want to store any content you need to do so via computer.
    Network issues can also contribute to seeing such an error. If on wifi, try ethernet. Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network). You can also see the status of your network by getting a report (istumbler, netstumbler or similar), to look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks.
    Other services use adaptive streaming so they won't be much of an issue.

  • HT4461 Hello I have just installed my license for OS v 10.6.3 and installed the upgrades on a new hard drive. I would like to upgrade to my license for Lion. How do I do this (through the Apple Store I guess). Cheers

    Hello, I have just installed my license for Mac OS v 10.6.3 and installed updates including security updates.
    I have a licence for Lion that is sitting on Apples computer somewhere.
    How do I access my account and install Lion on my machine?
    Beyond that I want to upgrade to Maverick but given I work out the first step upgrading to Maverick should be easy.
    Thanks, Julian R A

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X Lion could be purchased from the Mac App Store (and now, at the Apple Online Store). Once you purchase it, you can download it as many times as you want for free.
    Open  > Software Update, and install the most recent Mac OS X version. It should be Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer. Then, open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases, log in with your Apple ID and download OS X Lion. Make a backup before upgrading and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    You can upgrade to OS X Mavericks from Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer without any problem, so upgrading to OS X Lion first is a waste of time. Open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks

  • I am using an Mac PPC version 10.5.8 and I am trying to download the correct version of Flash Player.  I did once but I had to install a "Clean Install" of my computer and when finished I had put back the new Flash Player I just installed well every time

    I am using an Mac PPC version 10.5.8 and I am trying to download the correct version of Flash Player.  I did once but I had to install a "Clean Install" of my computer and when finished I had put back the new Flash Player I just installed well every time I try install the new player it is place in my Trash Folder and I can not get Player to work.  I did everything I was to install it correctly but it still does not install it correctly.  Can some help me.  Bob

    Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.
    You can safely give us a snapshot of your model and its current config that will allow us to deternmmine your model and its upgrade potential, plus show it you have any software that may impede any upgrades. Please download and install this free utility:

    Remember that, on leaving OS10.6.8, you lose the ability to run older softare written for older PowerPC Macs (yours in Intel-based). Programs such as Office 2004 will no longer work (min of Office 2008 needed to work on newer OS versions), and AppleWorks will stop working completely

  • I just installed Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer, when I try to use from Word or Excel, it does not work.  The Adobe print queue says "error" in the status screen.  I have uninstalled and re-installed.  Any ideas of what to do next?

    I just installed Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer on a Windows 7 home PC.  When I try to use from Word or EWxcel, it does not print.  The Adobe print device queue reports an "error" in the status column.

    Adobe retired this Feb 17, 2014.
    This app sent content to and got content from the web based services of "CreatPDF" and "PDF Pack".
    These are subscription services out in "the cloud". When the app was live you had to be online and signed into your account.  The user forum for CreatePDF has a DOC that speaks to the app removal.

  • Just installed Adobe Premiere Elements 10 - Crashes upon opening a new Project

    Thank you for trying to help, Bill.
    I had read about the fingerprint problem in the forums and deactivated that before my first post.
    I am reasonably proficient with CS6 web/design, but I don't have a lot of tech knowledge.
    While working today, I had trouble with Acrobat X and had to uninstall/reinstall.  I have done more restarts in the last 36 hours!
    I uninstalled/reinstalled PrE ... in case something that I had done had helped!  Organizer opens but not PrE.
    I will put the EventViewer stuff at the end of the post.  I didn't know there was an EventViewer until today!
    It says something about PCI bus.  I went to control panel, etc., devices and there were two instances of PCI bus.  I asked Windows to update the driver for both and got a message that it had the most up to date driver.  Also indicated they were working properly.  When I sent the link at the bottom of the EventViewer info to Windows, I got a screen saying it was an unknown error.
    I bought PrE on Saturday ... to replace NERO.  I thought it would be more consistent with the other programs I use, but maybe I should cut my losses and go back to NERO???  What do you think?
    I really do appreciate the help.

  • I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

    I have just installed iPhoto 11 and all of photos on my iphone have now all disappeared and ended up in my photo stream and the library in iphoto does not display all my pictures?? Can anyone help?

    And I cant work out why all of my pictures are not diplaying in iphoto?
    Is this iPhoto on your Mac?  Are you referring to the photos that were in your iPhoto LIbrary prior to the upgrade to iPhoto 11?  If so then apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If that's not what you're referring to then you should describe what is happening in more detail. Remember we can't see your Mac or your iPhone so need detailed and accurate descriptions of what you're experiencing.
    Also we need infomartion like do you have an iCloud account and are you logged into it on all of your devices, iPhoto and Mac? do you have Photo Stream enabled on both.

  • Initially stating No authorization required using Adobe.  When I try to change it so I can transfer downloaded books by my Nook e-reader it I get an error message stating the Adobe user name and password is associated with another computer.  What gives?

    When I set up Adobe reader on my computer to be able to download books from a library and then transfer to my Nook e-reader, I initially stating No authorization required using Adobe.  When I try to change it so I can transfer downloaded books by my Nook e-reader it I get an error message stating the Adobe user name and password is associated with another computer.  What gives?

    This is pretty surprising and wierd that even Reader 10.1.1 is crashing on your system. It works pefectly for me.
    Would it be possible for you to get the crash dump, and upload it, so that I can have a look at the same.
    Download PROCDUMP from <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/dd996900.aspx> and extract it to a folder, say, c:\temp\procdump.exe
    Open cmd prompt and type "cd c:\temp".
    Launch the browser and open the PDF.
    Open task manager, sort processed by name. Two AcroRd32.exe instances  should have been launched. Note the PID (a small integer like 5588) corresponding to the AcroRd32.exe with the higher memory usage; this is the process that must be crashing. Note this PID.
    On the cmd window, type "procdump -e -ma 5588 c:\temp\01.dmp" (replace 5588 with the actual PID of the process noted in Step 4). Procdump will now wait for the aoolication to crash. If it throws a EULA, accept it.
    Perform your steps to cause the crash.
    Procdump will have created a dump file at "c:\temp\01.dmp". Zip it up (since it will be 100s of MBs otherwise) and share with me.
    Thanks in advance for all your help

    Just installed adobe flash 11.7.700.202 and my flash is still broke been like this like 3 months now. facebook game dead and or videos on facebook play sound but with a black screen. but videos on you tube work just fine. any thoughts or help anyone ?????  have deleted and reinstalled many time. cleaned registry with every install. very sick of this :-(
    I am running windows 7 64bit with IE 10.

    @commandt2 -
    The first thing I'd try is updating your video driver.
    Windows: how do I update the device driver for my video/display adapter?
    If you still have problems and you're using Windows 7 x64, please check to see if you have the following Windows update installed:
    KB2670838 – Platform Update for Windows 7 x64
    If so, please uninstall it and try Flash Player out again.

    Good day,

  • I am new to this forum and a little confused.

    Hello. I am new to this forum and a little confused already.
    I want to get a sound card that will support asio drivers and the SB Audigy 2 ZS is looking good. It supports asio drivers. My question is what is the difference from a recording point of view between the X-FI extreme and the SB Audigy 2ZS. As far as I can see,nothing. Also where do you draw the line between asio supported cards and non asio cards? The most important aspect of a recording card that works/plays well is the asio drivers. Everything else is obviously related to the more money you spend the higher the sampling rates and maybe even DSP effects.
    Anyway the rig I use is used for playing music, gaming and making home DVD.s. The sound quality of a recorded analogue video needs to well recorded and thats where the SB Audigy 2ZS or X-FI Extreme come in.
    Regards
    Peter.

    "Audigy 2 Zs" and "Audigy 4 Pro"
    - ASIO 2.0 drivers for low latency (as low as 2ms) multi-track playback and recording at 16-bit/48kHz or 24-bit/96kHz-.
    "X-Fi"'s
    - ASIO 2.0 support with direct monitoring at 16 and 24-bit at sample rates of 44.1/48/88.22 and 96kHz.
    So, if you record only DVD quality (24-bit/96 kHz) then there are not big differences.
