I got an error msg that my browser was compromised. Was given an 800 # to call and the person told me he could help me fix it.
He said my browser was hijacked and he wanted to remote into my machine to fix it. Sounds like spam to me! How do I protect my
computer from spam.
Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, close Safari, and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

I'm making a DVD with my iMOVIE and when I tried to burn a DVD I got an error message that said
"ERRORS IN PROJECT
There were errors during the project validation that have to be fixed before burning the project."
What does this mean and how do I fix it.

I got an error message that I should connect to Wi-Fi after trying to download a Book Sample from the iBooks Store. I still get this error message even after I bought, downloaded, and transferred the file to my iPad's iBook thru iTunes. Wi-Fi ain't cheap.
Hi I had a similar issue to you, I could connect to the router but no internet. Here is my explanation of how I sorted it.....I hope this works for you.
*To anyone that is reading this it appears that the problem lay in the airport setting: IPV6: set to 'Automatically'. I turned it off (after reading someones plight on MacFixIt) & everything is back to normal.*
*The worrying thing is although my problem was extreme with other computers on the network being locked out nothing was changed, one minute it worked the next it didn't. Reading on other forums it appears to be a problem with laptops (but I could be mistaken). A lot of people on the Macfixit forum are complaining of network just dropping out even when they are next to the router.*
*I hope this is the fix (although I dont know why it suddenly went to sh*t!) & I hope my hair pulling & trawling the forums can help someone else out.*
Much Respect

I was using my wifi last night when I got an error message stating my ip address had been taken over. Then safari stopped working and i can no longer access the internet. I looked at my ip address and it states 000.000.000....can someone please help?
Sounds like a bogus pop up. In any case power down your Mac, your modem, your router. Then power back up in 1 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

Attempted to update iTunes on January 23rd and it appeared to install properly. When I tried to open iTunes on January 24th, it would not open and gave me an error message that said "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)" I then tried to reintall iTunes and it again appeared to install properly but when it attempted to open, I was given the same error message.
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

I just upgraded to OSXYosemite on my Mac and then tried to use my Photo Shop. It said to download JavaForOSX2014-001-dmg...so I did. Then I attempted to open PS again and an error message came up which said, "an unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred. Photoshop will now exit. What should I do?
Which version of photoshop?
You'll probably need to reinstall photoshop and then apply any needed updates.

Got an error message that said Need to deauthorize aubible account.
I tried to play a song that i have played 518 times and now its saying i need to deauthorize an account. but i have only played that song on one computer. i dont know why its saying that and don't know what to do.
it's telling me that i have 5 computers authorized. the reason why i'm confused is because i switched my harddrive from my powerbook g4 to my boyfriends computer which is exactly the same as mine (our college gave everyone the same laptop). the reason i switched is because my cd-rom drive no longer worked. so i thought if i switched the harddrives i wouldnt have any problems. could this affect itunes? because unfortunately there is no way for me to get into my old laptop bc the harddrive we put in there is fried. ALSO i have only had 2 computers in my life with itunes, so i dont even see why this third computer would be a problem.
im just wondering if there is a way to deactivate a computer without having to be on it. i hope i'm making sense!! lol!! -
I had just put the finishing touches on my 36 minute documentatary when I got an error message that the external 1TB HD I was using to store the project had been ejected improperly (must have shaken a cord). The result is that the project would not load in the edit Projects window. I can see the file in the finder window and it will launch iMovie but the file itself will not load in the projects window.
I have contacted apple support and they tried to do a few things... to no available.
With my limited knowledge of file structures I assume that the header file must be corrupt.
Is there a 3rd party utility that can decompile and fix the file structure so it will load properly. I've been working on this project since june and would hate to have to redo the whole thing again.I had just put the finishing touches on my 36 minute documentatary when I got an error message that the external 1TB HD I was using to store the project had been ejected improperly (must have shaken a cord).

I am unable to download itunes due to an error message that popped up after installing (or so I thought) was completed. It said it could not complete the process because "system has not been modified". What?
OK, can anyone explain how am I supposed to deal with this reply from apple? (I used a report a problem of a song purchase to ask why I can no longer access USA content)

I just bought an HD movie from i-Tunes and downloading to the i-pad and MacBook Air, but I got an error message stating this movie would not play on the Air.
Would the SD version of the movie- is it simply b/c it is an HD?What version of iPhoto do you have installed? Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5. It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

Hi, thank you for helping me! Every time I plug it into the USB port of my computer, there is an image on my iPod touch that shows a USB cord and tells me to plug it into iTunes, but it is completely unresponsive. I have tried holding the home and power buttons simultaneously for 15 seconds, and that does not do anything either. Any ideas? Thank you so much!
Do you remeber the exact (or close to it) wording of the error message?
Try manually placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then try to restore
Next try DFU mode.
