I have been getting a popup dialog box asking me to update flash player, but I don't know if I should trust it, as the exe file name is "tmp4E11.exe".

Hi Team,
I am only sending you an email as I am unable to find the answer to this question anywhere on your web site.
Just started within the past half an hour, I have been getting an update Flash Player dialog box popping up on my desktop, saying to update now or later or not at all, but I don't recognize it as the standard type of update dialog box that is sent by Adobe. The file name that is being used to click on for the update is "tmp4E11.exe:, is this a genuine Adobe update. I just can't stop this dialog box from popping up every ten seconds. HELP please.
Thanks.

Hi,
if it's popping up every 10 seconds or so it's not official Flash Player update as ours does not display that often. Can you post a screenshot of it, How to post a screenshot in the forum.

I seem to have fixed my problem of randomly occuring errors in my filterwheel control. But I don't know why this should actually work.

Hi there,
I am using a thorlabs fw102B filterwheel. It's connected via USB (simulating COM port, that's what it says in MAX). The second device is a camera, also connected via USB. The application is running 24/7, at least that's what it's supposed to do. LabView version is 8.6.
The LabView code I wrote for this, was never really finished, meaning I totally ignored error handling in the first program version. That never bothered me, because the program ran for weeks and months without any problem. Whenever I had to reboot my system it was not LabViews fault, but I was changing something else.
Recently I was running into problems with the filterwheel (after a system reboot). However, I don't understand the error in the first place: The filterwheel is supposed to change position every 15 minutes, in between the camera is taking exposures, then the data is written to an ASCII-file (only ~156 kB). At first the error occured just once: the filterwheel was set to the wrong position for about 15 minutes, which might happen, as it is not really could in counting. A few days later it was in that wrong positon for one hour, so it didn't respond to the "move" order four times in a row. Finally I didn't move at all anymore. The error message I was getting is "0xFFFFFFF unkown status code". In my opinion the communcation to the filterwheel got lost somehow. I don't know a better explantion.
But why should it recover after some time?
The problem usually occured at night, when nobody is there to watch.
I investigated the behaviour in a second setup (see attachment). There is only the filterwheel connected. Through randomly unplugging the USB or power cable I was able to reproduce 'session handle is not valid', 'unkown status code' and 'session handle lost'. The program enters the 'true case', the session is to be closed and resetted, then it shall be reinitialized. This actually works as soon as the cables are reconnected. But why?
The close.vi still returns 'session handle is not valid', The reset.vi returns the same, but initialize.vi returns 'No Error' and the system works again.
What am I not getting here?
I read some threads here and somebody mentioned for another instrument/problem to use the 'reset' command twice. So I tried 'close-initialize', 'reset-reset-initialize', 'reset-initialize' but only 'close-reset-initialize' works (not surprising). Yet I still get the same errors (probe 1 and 2). Am I introducing more bugs without knowing than I fixed?
I AM CONFUSED.

Hello Ulrich,
thank you for your answer. Concerning the dataflow I agree and it is what I usually do. Actually I follow the dataflow paradigm whenever there is no problem (the 'false case' in the screenshot):
“FW102x Initialize.vi” -> “FW102x Get Position.vi” -> “FW102x Set Position.vi”.
Whenever there is a mistake, this just doesn't work with these drivers. The sequence
“FW102x Initialize.vi” -> “FW102x Get Position.vi” -> ///error/// -> “FW102x Close.vi”, “FW102x Reset.vi” ;; “FW102x Initialize.vi”
will give me errors for “FW102x Close.vi”, “FW102x Reset.vi” and “FW102x Initialize.vi” reporting "session handle not valid". However, if I "bypass" the instrument handles directly from the first "Initialize" to "Close" and "Reset", they will report the same error, but the second "Initialize" will work again. I can even merge the first two frames and execute "Close" and "Reset" at the same time to do so. But whenever I try something else, e.g. do the 'correct' wiring, I am unable to close, reset or reinitialize. I have to restart LabView completely, to make the vi work again. So I guess the session is still hanging around somewhere in memory, but I can't access it anymore.
Surprisingly, wherever I put Probes on the data handle wires they show the correct "ASRL5::INSTR" (with or without correct wiring). But only the "Bypass" wire makes the vi work. Since you couldn't find the drivers in the driver network, I guess they might just run into problems, if an error occurs.
But thanks for your comment anyway. The problem is fixed for the moment. It's just that I prefer to actually know what I am doing here instead of producing some code I'd rather not show anyone.

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail. ???

We use the Apple mail server to get e-mails from our gmail and comcast mail accounts. Recently we have been getting spam that claims to be sent to a gmail address, but when I check that address directly, there is no such e-mail, either in the inbox or in the spam folder. Is it possible to bypass the gmail account and send directly to the Apple mail server, spoofing the gmail address?

Maybe some info here for you about spoofing. (and much additional info)

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

Hello i just got a MacBook Pro and a website i am trying to get on is saying i need to allow pop-up blockers but i don't know how to do so can anyone help?

Go to your browser preferences and select the appropriate setting. This is for Safari:
Ciao.

I have been getting a popup every time I open safari. It will not allow me to use safari. It gives me a phone number to call to fix the problem. In the meantime I can't use safari.

I Have been getting a pop up when I open safari telling me there is a threat of a hacking attack
on my browser. It asks me to go to a website http//pctechief.com for a fix. I am afraid to reply to
this website.

There are several ways to recover.
1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
3. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
Close the malicious window or tab.
Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

After installing security update 10.6.8 I've seen dialog boxes asking me if I will permit certain root processes, e.g. configd, to receive unsolicited messages from the internet. What are the consequences of denying these requests?

After installing security update 10.6.8 last night I've seen dialog boxes asking me if I will allow incoming network connections to certain root processes, e.g. configd. I didn't see these dialog boxes prior to installing 10.6.8. How do I make informed decisions? In other words,
(1) Where can I find 25-word summary descriptions of these processes?
(2) Where can I find discussions of the consequences of granting or denying these requests?
Alternatively (and at some risk of revealing metaphysical doubt) why am I being asked for these permissions? And who expects me to make correct decisions?
I have turned on th standard-issue OS X firewall and am running my system in stealth mode.

Since the latest up date ,I have been getting numerous popup ads with no way to close them. How do you remove them now?

After an automatic update numerous floating adds have appeared and migrate to other web pages that I go to. I can find no way to either close them out or stop them from appearing. Before when you right clicked on the add an x close button would appear and you could close the add. Now nothing. How do you either stop them or close them once they appear?

hello, this may be a problem possibly caused by adware/malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

I'm getting pop up dialog boxes asking me to sign into an old Apple userid when I access many apps, but mostly Safari. How do I expunge this old userid?

I miss understood how to use this forum, so I just edited my original question to make it more clear. This old userid should have been expunged from the Apple system, but it obviously still resides in my iPad. I don't see it listed anywhere under Settings, so I'm lost as to how to get rid of it.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Have you tried resetting as new ?
Setup as new
Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings
It would mean that only apps that were bought with the new I D could be downloaded again and any other apps with the old ID would have to be paid for again

Small pops up boxes asking permission to install flash player!!??

I play on a farm game, where everyday as a task we have to visit the friends farms to do some actions; for the last 7 or 8 months, everytime I go into one of those farms, a small box pops up asking permission to install flashplayer, since I already got the Flash Player installed, I just click the deny permission option just for safe.... and I am really sick of keep getting it again and again, it doesn´t even have the logo or the corporative image of adobe products when that pops up little box comes up.. Is That a new way for hackers to try to get into our pc´s?? Are hackers trying to use the Flash Player name so we users let some crap get into our pc´s, thinking than it´s safe cause it has a known name?

To explain better about that pops up box, this is what it says :
"Adobe Flash Player Settings
Local Storage
nameofthegamesite is
requesting permission to
store information on your
computer.
Requested: up to unlimited
Currently Used: 1 kb
Allow Deny "
I need to know if this message its genuine from adobe or what does it means, if i should allow?? please a light on this, thanks

I have updated Flash Player but it still will not play videos etc. Any clues what i have to do?

I suddenly have troublewith playing videos on Firefox - and have uninstalled and reinstalled but still it will not work.
Any clues what else i need to do?

Which version of Flash did you reinstall? 
IE uses the ActiveX version, where other browsers need the Plugin version of Flash.
Here's the "drill" for installing Flash for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: 
[http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_32bit.exe Adobe Flash - 32-bit Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). 
See this:

I have a Nexus 10 and I followed your instructions on installing flash player, but I still get a "plugin is needed" . It doesn't give me the tap option

Like I mentioned above, I followed everything in the instructions but when I view the flash in apps it still says plugin is needed. I still can't view any flash program.

What is your Android version as 4.4 kitKat has some removed things that is needed by the old Flash 11.1 plugin for Android.
However Mozilla may have managed to make the Flash plugin sill work in the Android version of Firefox 29.0a1 on the unstable Nightly channel as of yesterday.
If you are willing to be tester and get updates each day. <strike>http://ftp.mozilla.org /pub/mozilla.org/ mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-android/fennec-29.0a1.multi.android-arm.apk</strike> use the Firefox 27.0 release instead.
However according to bug 935676 the next Beta build of 27.0 may have the patch also. The current 27.0b6 is from Jan 14 so it does not have it.

I deleted all of the symantec software on my macbook, but I am getting an error message saying to run live update or reinstall. I don't know why this is happening, I heard I may still have a file but I have looked and cannot find one. How do I fix this?

If there is a leftover file, where do I find it. And is my computer at risk?

I tried doing both, I couldnt find either symantec or live update in applications or when I searched through finder. I went to the activity monitor and found symantec and quit the process but the next time i logged on to my computer, it came back. this is what the error message looks like
Thanks for trying!

My laptop was stolen, and came online. i have an email telling me i can view that location for 24 hours, but i don't know how. when i go to find my iphone it says offline. can i see where it came online and how?

Hey guys. My macbook pro was stolen and i checked the box for icloud to email me when it came online. It did, and says I have 24 hours to vew the location. How do i do this? when i go to find my iphone, it simply says offline again.

Hi,
I would report this to the police and they will help you track down your MacBook Pro and catch the theft.
They will know what to do.
I would go to http://icloud.com to view the location of your laptop.
Hope this helps.

Re: RAW update 6.7: I think I have downloaded the update for CS5, but I don't know how to proceed.

Please help me with the steps I need to install this update.

Not sure what you are asking. If you have downloaded it manually, you have an installer file that you need to run. If you have initiated the update from within Photoshop, that should happen automatically. If you have problems, you need to explain better and provide more details.
