I inadvertently created a certificate and can't get rid of it!

I inadvertently created a 'Terence Watts's CA' certificate in my keychain (long story, boring, not necessary ) which is not trusted and is going out with all my emails with a 'not trusted' message... I deleted it - several times - but the darn thing keeps on coming back!
Can any wise person here tell me how to despatch it once and for all?
Terence

When you use grep to search for things and what you want to search for contains special characters like ' and " and others, you either have to escape them or just not include them (you need to read how to do this in a book that covers the Bash shell) as it gets a bit complicated depending on which characters exactly the string contains.
But you could easily just look for a subset of the string - for example if your certificate were named "Terence Watts's CA" you might just want to
     security find-certificate -a | grep "Terrence Watts" | grep CA
and that should do the trick. Unless you have more than one certificate that contains these two strings, you will still find it.
But now that it's not going out attached to your emails, that's what counts...

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • Additional Alias created - not by me - can't get rid of it!

    My husband and I have a .Mac account and we set that up fine. We've also added two aliases (one for me and one for my husband). So, now we have 3 e-mail addresses, our family address and then a personal e-mail address for both of us. We set up folders and rules to have mail sent to these addresses go into specific folders. Again, that works fine.
    However, since we did all this months ago, there's also been a 4th account listed in the drop down box of the 'From' field in a new mail message. It's the default account, meaning it has the check next to it. I did not create this alias. It's a combination of my husband's name (which is the name our .Mac account is registered under) and my e-mail alias. Whenever I'm sending an e-mail or responding to one (even one that came to my e-mail alias), Mail will use this new account as the default. So, the people receiving e-mail from me, think it's coming from my husband. Of course, I can change it by selecting my own alias but I often forget to do this. I'd like to direct Mail to automatically use my alias (both my name and e-mail) account when responding to mail sent to me AND to automatically use this alias when I'm originating an e-mail from my folder.
    Does anyone know how to do this AND how to get rid of the other random alias account that was created?
    Thanks much!
    Danielle

    Have you tried to get rid of that mystery account via Mail's Preferences >Accounts window: selecting and and clicking the "-" key? If so, what happens?
    If that doesn't work you should be able to edit the .plist file for Mail and remove it from there. First, download Pref Setter and install it. Then, go to /Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences and scroll through the list until you find com.apple.Mail.plist and Option-drag it to your Desktop to create a copy.
    Now open the original .plist file in the Preferences folder (the one you just copied to your Desktop) using Pref Setter and type "accou" in the search box at the top right; this will narrow your results to four items; we're only interested in the one labeled "MailAccounts".
    You will need to click on the disclosure triangle to find the mystery account, since they are all listed with the account name. When you find it, select the Item number for it and press the large Delete key on your keyboard to delete it; this will then change the numbering for all the remaining accounts. You can Save the file and quit Pref Setter.
    Restart Mail and go to Preferences >Composing and look for the line that says "Send new mail from:" and use the popup menu next to it to choose "Account of last mailbox viewed". This means that whichever mailbox is used to view an email to, that is the account chosen automatically to send email from. So if you husband read an email to him in his account and he wanted to reply or send a new email, his account should be the one used to send. Likewise for you.

  • What is jetpack file? and can i get rid of it?

    what is jetpack file in my profiles?
    can i get rid of it?
    could it be the reason i have problem with java windows at URL below?
    While playing bridge on Pogo, even in safe mode, the java window freezes or kicks me out, or pogo server loses my sign-in name in the window and the site.

    "Other" is the measure of used space on the iPod not taken up by Audio, Video & Photos. This includes the iPod's library and artwork plus any files you may have copied to your iPod in disk mode. The overhead for the library & artwork data is typically 1-2% of the size of the media, e.g. for 1Gb of Audio & Video expect to have around 15mb of "Other". This information is needed for the iPod's operation and cannot be removed.
    If you have significantly larger amounts of "Other", not related to files you've intentionally placed on the iPod, then these are probably disconnected copies of your media files or iPod libraries left over from failed sync operations. The only way to recover the space is to do a full restore.
    If you have copies of all your media in your iTunes library this isn't a problem, but if you've been manually managing the content then you might need to try to recover the files from it first. See this post by forum regular Zevoneer on transferring files from the iPod to your computer. Some of the tools rely on the iPod having a healthy library however the manual method mentioned towards the end of the post should work regardless.

  • Have a problem on my IMac that a screen has come up titled text edit  and can not get rid of it using OSX I believe  10.7.5

    Can not exit text edit screen when i click on the apple does not give me the option of shuting down or restart just can't get rid of it. have no clue what brought this screen up never seen it before.

    If it is the application, Text Edit is a basic word processing app which is in your Applications folder. In order to force quit, you need to hold down three keys at the same time (there is no drop down/force quit):
    Command + Option + esc (at the top left of your keyboard). That will bring up this window:
    If an application is not responding, it may show "not responding" next to its name (or sometimes not). In any case, hit the Force Quit button and it should quit. If that does not work, shut down your Mac and boot it up again.

  • Downloaded firefox and can't get rid of ebay in search window

    Everytime i have downloaded firefox, ebay is in search column. If i go ahead and type a desired address in search such as cement it carries me to items related to cement for sale on ebay site. No matter what, firefox carries me to ebay. Where does this contaminant come from and how do I get rid of it?

    Hi Bobazane8,
    Firefox has the search engine selected as eBay. You can't get rid of it, but you can select a different search engine such as Google or Yahoo so if you want to search for that term, it'll pull it up on the search engine of your choice.
    Simpy click the eBay logo next to the search field and select your choice.
    See image below to see what I am talking about.

    Try another browser such a Safari. If you get the same issue then it's probably the site, if it works OK on another browser then it's probably Chrome and you should re-post on a Chrome forum discussion board.

  • I can´t organize files on my Zen Micro using MP10 (and can I get rid of the firmwar

    Hi, I installed the software that came with the Zen, the first one hung up my computer (forgot what it was called) but media explorer seemed to work ok. I was recommended to install the firmare so that I could transfer files using MP0. I did this (one of the earlier versions). I drag and drop my music folders into MP0 and sincronize but when they are transfered I get new folder created with new names onto my Zen (album names, song names etc.) everything disordered and many folders with only one song in them. I can't seem to figure out how to organize my music. Is there a way of reformatting the player, get rid of the firmware and make it work properly with media explorer again (since media explorer doesn?t recognise the player after the firmware instalation) Please help, the sound quality of this player is great but music transfers and organizing is giving me a big headache.

    Ear-Rock,
    You can download the version of Zen Micro Media Explorer that support the MTP firmware you have now on the player. The version is 4.00.8 and is available on the website. You can also change the firmware to the PDE one by downloading and installing the PDE firmware version .02.05.
