rbrylawski,
I agree with everything you said so far, my fault for trusting someone that initially gave me the iPad and then later asked for a few hundred dollars for doing me this 'favor.'
I guess I will have to change all of my passwords to all of my banking, credit card, and other financial accounts, and my emails.  I never thought about it before, but he has made comments, in passing, and has led me to believe that he has read some of my emails and knows stuff about my personal and financial information that he shouldnt know.
My fault for not knowing enough to wipe it clean before I used it.  Thanks for your help.

  • HT3258 My Mountain Lion update says that I may have issues with software. The main one I am worried about is:

    So, what's with this? What does it mean? What are the reprocussions?
    I am mostly worried that my LaCie won't work. I've backed up all my photos on it. Should I delete the new update? If so, how? The notice I got after downloading read as follows:
    "Incompatible software
    Some of the software on your computer is incompatible with this version of OS X. Because this software may cause problems with your computer, it has been moved. You can delete incompatible software that was moved.
    Incompatible software on your computer was moved to a folder named "Incompatible Software" on your startup disk:

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X moves unsupported apps and extensions automatically to a special folder and disables them. If not, you will start seeing kernel panics and your Mac Pro wouldn't work correctly.
    If your LaCie devices are working properly, there's nothing to worry. If not, download the most recent version from the LaCie site > http://www.lacie.com/us/support/drivers/driver.htm?id=10239

    I need the Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.64plug in on my MacAir to view Ustream videos. Adobe message says the version is for Intel-based Macs with Safari; also says that I "may have to temporarily disable antivirus software. is it safe to download?

    Your MacBook Air is an Intel-based system. To download the current version (11.2.202.228),  go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download it from there.
    If there is still a Flash issue, you can try the Google Chrome browser, which has the current Flash built into it, to see if it works any differently with the videos. It's available from https://www.google.com/chrome

  • I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drvie to die before i use the other drives

    I have two hard drives on my mac 10.5.8 power pc and hear the clickking sounds of the first hard drive and think that it may be dying, can I install everything on the other hard drive also and wait for the first drive to die before i use the other drives? Or, what is the best way to handle this?

    I do not know what you are waiting for.
    I'd make a backup of your important stuff before cloning the entire disk.
    Carbon Copy Cloner will copy your startup drive to an external  firewire drive.  You can boot from the external drive to verify that you have a good clone. When you upgrade your existing startup drive, you can at any time boot from your external drive and go back to your existing system.

    SuperDuper is the wildly acclaimed program that makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. Its incredibly clear, friendly interface is understandable, easy to use, and SuperDuper's built-in scheduler makes it trivial to back up automatically. And it runs beautifully on both Intel and Power PC Macs!

  • SCCM 2012 Report that shows the users with specific software installed

    Hi,
    Is there a report in SCCM 2012 that shows the users with specific software installed? The report should show username, machine name and the software name. I am looking for a report that shows the users with the following softwares installed:
    1. Adobe(all versions)
    2. Photoshop(all versions)
    3. MS Project(all versions)
    4. MS Vision(all versions)
    Regards, Lorin Davis

    Take a look at the Asset Intelligence reports in the software section. You may get a list of computers with a product installed, and you might have to use that list to find the primary users based on user device affinity.

    How big is your library?  I would recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
    - Backup your library.  Always a good idea before messing with things.  
    - Create a new library.   Refer to this article for details:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589.  This won't delete your old library, you're just creating a new empty one.  Also refer to this article to get back to your old library later.
    - Add a few albums into this new library.  Not everything, just a small sampling, as a test.
    - Activate Match on this new library.  You shouldn't have to re-pay, it should just say "Add Computer" or similar.
    - At this point, Match should run again. With just a few albums it should complete in just a few minutes.
    If iTunes doesn't crash at this point, then likely there's something about your original library that Match doesn't like - what that is I don't know, but at least you'll know it's not your PC.   If iTunes still crashes, then if could be a number of other things, but probably not your library.   My next suggestion (if you haven't already done this) is to uninstall / reinstall iTunes.   If that doesn't work, then my next ideas you won't like.   

  • How can I tell if I have key logger on my Mac

    I am not computer savy but I have reason to believe that someone has loaded a key logger program on my computer.  Can someone walk me, very patiently, through the steps to find out?

    Hi, this is very difficult to find out, but some old info to get you started.
    See these for a list of some key loggers...

    Is your iPad jailbroken ? If not then I'm not aware of any keyloggers or other malware or viruses for iOS devices. What makes you think that you have them on your iPad ?

  • Since changing our computer I have been unable to download ebooks to my Reader Library I get a message Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library; Waterstones suggest that I may have accidentally created a new Adobe

    When I try to download them from the Waterstones website I get a message saying:
    ‘Some file types associated with EPUB files are not associated with Reader Library.  Do you want to associate them now?  When I reply yes I get another message; ‘Configuration error unable to update EPUB files check network firewall and try again’.
    The ‘books’ are saved in the Download directory and I can’t transfer them from there to my E-Reader. I have not had any problems before, it was very simple; I saved the download and it automatically went into the Reader Library.
    I contacted HP and they said it is a software error and suggested I contact Waterstones.  I contacted Waterstones Customer Support and got the following response:
    As the error message is specifically mentioning the firewall it does sound like something in the firewall settings is stopping the download from taking place correctly. However, the files should not be being saved to the Download folder. It would be worth trying again by going to your Digital Order History on your Waterstones.com account and pressing the download button, and then making sure to press "Open" not "Save". When you press Open rather than Save it should give the option to open the file with Adobe Digital Editions. If the firewall message still comes up then I'm afraid something is blocking it on your end.
    If the above "Open" download method works but you then still get an error message it could possibly be that you have accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up on the new computer, rather than signing in with your old Adobe ID. It would be worth trying the aforementioned download technique again first, but if problems did still persist it would be worth calling Adobe themselves on 0207 365 0735, as they should be able to sort out any account issue.
      In response to the first para of Waterstones email I already do what they suggest I do press ‘Open’ not ‘Save’ but I don’t get the open with Adobe Digital Editions (we have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer. Waterstones say we may have ‘accidentally created a new Adobe ID when setting up the new computer’ does that mean that we shouldn’t have installed Adobe Digital Editions on the new computer as it would have already been there? How do I sign in with my old Adobe ID? 

    Hi all after attampting to get some supoport from adobe by phone.... nice people infurating policys as far as support for digital editions or DRM is conserned... However I got no where with support.
    I ended up instaling Digital editions on my desktop PC and going through the motions of registering and borrowing a book then returning it. Then I trying on my iPad, Bluefire worked, Over drive did not so I completely removed Overdrive and reinstalled and re registered. all working now.
    Maybe some one at adobe did something. Maybe the install of the adobe DE client on a PC corrected what ever was out of wack with my account. Mayby the server that my account lives on did a scan disk and corrected a bad clustrer.
    What ever happend My account is actiove and working again. hope this helps others.

  • I seem to have used up all my broadband (huge amount) very quickly with my iphone - is there anything in the settings of my iphone that I may have set up incorrectly to make this happen ?   As cannot see it is possible to use this much.

    I seem to have used up all my wi-fi broadband extremely quickly (I have huge broadband limit) using my iphone, and not sure if I have something incorrectly set up in the settings of my iphone that has allowed this to happen?  Any ideas?   Haven't been watching any movies or downloading anything major.

    Hickeysm,
    Do you mean your the download limit set by your Internet Service Provider for all broadband use? Or the data allowance from your phone network provider for your iPhone?
    If you mean the phone contract's data allowance, I have a similar problem. I had a message from O2 yesterday to say I've used 80% of my monthly data allowance, which is very unusual for me. I may have found the cause which is that my iPhone is reluctant to connect to Wifi, and when it does, no data moves; so it's been accessing data with 3G. Nothing wrong with my wifi (iPad and iMac connect without problems).
    I'm suspecting the iOS 5.1 update. Has anyone else had similar problems since taking it?

  • I think my Pro has a bespoke key logger/spyware installed

    Hi,
    I think my macbook has either a key logger and/or some form of spyware installed. I doubt it will be an off the shelf application - the person suspected is a developer and has a high level of skills. I am okay using terminal with instructions, and have followed the steps to look for the known programmes. Can anyone suggest how I can look to determine if there is some form of bespoke programme installed?
    Many thanks

    This would be highly unlikely, but given your concern see the following:
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.

    If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)

  • I am getting an error message for a GMail account that I may have exceeded the maximum number of connections but........

    I changed the max. # of server connections to cache to one as recommended and am still unable to use this account. I also tried to flush my DNS cache but for some reason this also is not functioning. I am using a Macbook Pro. My Zoho account is still functioning normally with T'Bird so it makes me suspect it is a problem with Gmail and perhaps not T'Bird. Thoughts? Thank you.

    using other iProduct which to not limit their connections to receive mail, like iPhones and iPads? Turn them off and all will be well.
    Tools menu > account settings > server settings >advanced and you can edit the maximum connections Thunderbird will establish with an IMAP server.
    Unfortunately the afore mentioned Apple products have no such setting, or at least my last foray into the apple support forums left me believing so. It makes their mail functions fast, but makes playing in the same sand pit as others much more difficult.
    Gmail currently has a limit of 15 simultaneous IMAP connections per account. see https://support.google.com/mail/answer/97150?hl=en

  • I believe my computer may have a virus. Can someone help?

    Lately ive been worried that my MacBook pro has a virus. Today i went to "Finder" and saw that i had shared files going--ive never shared any files. The location says "Neighborhood". Also, i went to my activity monitor and saw that there was a file called "disnoted" runnnig and it was by the user "damian". My name is not Damian and i have no idea who it could be. It wont let me stop the process either. Ive tried many times and it hasnt worked. I also see an "activitymonitord" is running from "root" what is that? Any help on this would be great.  Im quite worried about the security of my computer now. Please tell me what this means and if it is a virus, how i can remove it.
