  • Both Chrome and Safari interrupt online streaming to request/demand an update for a PC program that doesn't work on Macs. What is going on?

    Both Chrome and Safari interrupt online streaming to request/demand an update for a PC program that doesn't work on Macs. What is going on?

    The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
    You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
    If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they're almost certainly the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked, but you should assume that the router is at fault until proven otherwise.
    The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
    After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
    Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
    1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
    2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Save the password in your keychain. Any password that you can remember is weak.
    3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
    During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
    Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
    If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

  • "itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration"  Now  Itunes doesn't work on my windows 7 machine.  What to do?

    I have a Windows 7 system.  ITunes used to work fine.  Recently I am getting a message:
    "ITunes has detected a problem with your audio configuation.  Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."
    I have reloaded and repaired ITunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime.  Nothing works.
    Itunes doesn't work any more on my machine.  Anybody?

    Hey there bogusss,
    I would recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot run because it detects an issue with QuickTime
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1371
    If this issue occurs with iTunes 7.0.2 - 7.6, customers may instead see this error message:
    "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
    If this occurs with iTunes 7.0 or 7.0.1, customers may instead see a -200 error when opening iTunes 7.
    Resolution
    QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
    On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
    Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows XP and Windows 2000: Open the Add or Remove Programs control panel and selectQuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
    Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
    Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.
    During the download:
    If you choose to run the installer, proceed to the next step.
    If you choose to save the download, double click the QuickTimeInstaller file, then proceed to next step.
    Follow the on-screen instructions to install QuickTime.
    Reopen iTunes.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My external hard drive has been used for Time Machine, now it doesn't work on my TV?

    I bought a new external HD 3TB, I used it as a back for Time machine and also wanted to use it for watching my movies etc on my TV. The TV won't recognise any video's on the HD. Is there some reason this would happen due to using it for Time Machine?

    If you are talking about a drive that you connect directly to your TV, typically they will recognize only drives formatted in some specific way & only certain kinds of movie files. You can check your TV users manual or its manufacturer's web site for information about this, but in general they will not recognize drives using the format Time Machine requires.

  • Updated Zen Extra Firmware Now It Doesn't Work The S

    I recently updated to the latest PlayForSure firmware on my 30 GB Zen Extra so that it would work with Vista. I mainly use it to listen to audio books. It used to be that when I would start the player it would remember where I was in the track I was listening to and it would start from there. Now it starts at the beginning of the track. These tracks can be several hours long and it's a PITA to have to scroll through and find the point I was at in the book. Am I setting something incorrectly, or is this something that Creative needs to address?

    Theres a few other changes with the plays for sure firmware..
    previously if you slected a track from the music library and hit 'play now' while there were some trascks playing form the slected music list, the slected music list would clear, and the play now track would start playing.
    Now when you slect play now it drops the track at the bottom of the selected music list and keeps al the other tracks as they are.
    Idle shutdown/sleep
    previously the Zen would go into a hibernation mode, and after 24 hours it would completly shutdown.
    If you switched it on within 24 hours of it last being used it would start instantly and you would only see the creative/EAX ( or custom ) start screen after 24 hours of non use.
    now theres no hibernation mode and the player takes longer to start, however long term battery life should be better like this.
    any other changes?

  • I updated to os5 and now sound doesn't work

    Hello...  I updated my iPad to os5 and now only some of my apps sound programs work.  Some have no sound and I cannot figure out why.  Thoughts?

    First check the side switch on the side of the iPad above the volume control. Try flipping the switch the other way. If you see the speaker icon when you flip that switch it was set to mute system sounds.
    If that switch locked the screen, then do this. Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar at the bottom. Swipe all the way to the right in the task bar. Look all the way on the left side and see if there is a speaker icon there. If so, tap it and see if the system sounds come on again.
    You can set the side switch to either mute system sounds or to lock the screen. Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Lock Rotation or Mute. Whichever function you choose for the side switch, the other function will be available in the task bar.
    Read this about the side switch.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    Also go to Settings >General >Sounds > and make sure that you have all the sounds turned on and that the volume slider bar is adjusted to at least the halfway point
    Finally - make sure that that the volume is turned up on the volume control on the right side of the iPad (when held in portrait mode). I know that seems obvious but you never know!

  • Did An Update Just Occur And Now Email Doesn't Work

    ok i once again am having troubles connecting to my email with the same settings that were working just fine with the Z10.  i usually wait until it decides to fix itself but hours later its still jacked up.  i then noticed that the blank home screen that used to be present when there weren't even any running apps is only present when there are running apps. 
    well good thing that was taken care of.
    now ever since whatever update occurred, my email is not working at all. 
    z10 just keeps saying unable to contact server blah at blah blah port.  
    i know good and well that that my mail server is functional as i can access it via other devices just fine.
    ok so how do i fix my email?

    i was on the phone for about and hour and a half with both ATT and Blackberry. 
    it was not until i got transferred Level II Blackberry Support is when it got resolved.  come to find out that i needed to let the email settings configure automatically instead of typing in any settings myself. 
    z10 and the server figure out what your settings need to be.  i was just used to typing them in myself from previous Blackberry experience.  but they told me a lot has changed with o/s 10 and to forget everything i was used to.
    also, there is an email issue(s) that they are well aware of and a fix is coming out shortly but he couldn't give me an exact date.

  • Iphone 4s (verizon): updated to 6.1 now phone doesn't work

    Since updating to 6.1, iphone 4s is not getting incoming calls (not showing up as missed calls, just goes to voicemail). Outgoing calls also don't work (just says "calling" but never connects). Facetime  works (surprisingly). I've tried to restart the phone and that still did nothing.

    Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
    This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
    To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:
