I keep getting skype messages from men wanting to ...

Every day I get contacted by men wanting to make contact with me. I find this invasive and want to stop it. How can I make myself invisible so strangers cannot skype chat me in this way? It is driving me crazy. I decline but cannot remove them from view as having contacted me.

You can try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
but ultimately, you may need top contazct Vodephone since: 1) It is an SMS message, and consequently part of its servioce, not Apple's; 2) The messages appear to be from them.

I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple About this mac overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.

What do I do? I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple>About this mac>overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.

I have the same issue. My computer has also slowed down. I hope this isn't a malware. I haven't input my password into it, and dont know what I did to turn this on.
Hope someone else can give some insight

Bartirn,
I called Apple under my Mac support contract. They were completely unfamiliar with the error you and I were encountering. Updating to 10.8.5 didn't help.
I'm stopping my TimeCapsule while I perform these tasks, but I don't know yet if I have a consistent work-around.

I keep getting a message that iTunes wants to update to 8.something, but my version is at 12.0.1.26. What gives??

I keep getting a message that iTunes wants to update to Version 8.somthing. However, I'm currently running Version 12.0.1.26 on Windows 7. What gives?? Is there any way to get the update message to leave me alone?

You will need to post the exact message. Sounds like iTunes is picking up either your iPhone wirelessly or it is plugged in and is wanting to update to iOS8.1.1
Do so and it will go away.

Plug-in page tells me all plug-ins are up to date, but I keep getting error messages from Firefox telling me they are not and are unstable

I keep getting error messages stating that my Adobe Flash is out of date and vulnerable. I go to the Add-ons Manager, click "update" and it takes me to the plug-in page which shows it's up to date!! Same with Java DT and Shockwave Flash. How can I update if I have the latest versions already!?! I am inclined to just allow the plug-ins to work but don't want my pc to become vulnerable. Please help!

hello Danagriz, unfortunately the plugin check page lags behind. adobe has released a critical patch for a vulnerability in its flash plugin, which is reportedly already exploited in the wild. therefore firefox will block insecure versions from running by default on websites for your protection.

Keep getting error message from 'Cron Daemon'

I have been running an Xserve G4 with Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 as a mail server and web server for several years now with no problems. Recently, however, I tried to set up a mailing list, which I had never done before. When I tried doing this, OS X automatically created a mailing list called "Mailman" for me, in addition to the mailing list I created.
Now I keep getting error messages sent by "Cron Daemon <[email protected]>" to that "Mailman" mailing list. The error messages are sent to the mailing list and I get them as a subscriber to the list. They read:
====
From: [email protected]
Subject: [Mailman] Cron <mailman@www> /usr/bin/python -S /usr/share/mailman/cron/senddigests
Date: 6 mai 2006 12:00:00 HAA
To: [email protected]
Modules/gcmodule.c:215: failed assertion `gc->gc.gc_refs == GC_REACHABLE'
Mailman mailing list
[email protected]
http://www.mydomain.com/mailman/listinfo/mailman
===
I did some research on the OS X Server support pages and discussion forums and couldn't find any references to such a problem.
With a worldwide search with Google, I only found very obscure stuff about Python, which I know nothing about.
The mailing lists appear to be working fine other than that (and the fact that Mailman uses "www.mydomain.com" instead of just "mydomain.com").
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Pierre

Thanks for the clarification. I really do not need anything fancy at this point. Also, please note that I am still using Server 10.3.9, not 10.4.
Now, as for the initial problem, I am afraid it is not gone. It has just changed. Here's what I got in my mailbox this morning:

In other words, the error message is still coming, but now it's being sent by "[email protected]" and since this is not a subscriber to the list, I get the admin notice requiring approval. (It's in French because I am using mailman's French-language option, but you should get the gist of it .)
I still do not know:
1) what causes this message and what it means
2) why it's coming from "[email protected]" rather than "[email protected]".
Like I said, I changed the "host_name" option from "www.mydomain.com" to "mydomain.com" in both mailing lists I have, but obviously there is still some part of Mailman that thinks it should be using "www.mydomain.com".
I am afraid I still don't know what to do about this.
FWIW, I ran the check_perms command you gave me this morning and it did find 10 problems and corrected them. I don't know yet if this will help with this particular problem.

I have a new MacBook Pro. I keep getting the message (from all different programs) that they would like to access the keychain "login". I have run keychain repair, and it won't stop!

I have a new MacBook Pro. I keep getting the message "Mail would like to use your keychain "login". How can I make this stop? I have run the keychain repair utility.

Hi,
With the Finder as the Front app go to the Go Menu > GO to Folder.
Copy and Paste the bold text below into the text field
~/Library/Keychains
Highlight the Keychain.
Use the CMD + i Keys together (Keystrokes for Get Info from the File Menu)
In the Info Panel that appears check the Ownership and Permission bit at the bottom.
Example Pic
Unlock Padlock
Check your Shortmname Appears (the (Me) one).
Open the Cogwheel icon
If it is Greyed Out to "Make "Shortname (Me)" owner then you are the Owner.
Check you have Read and Write Permissions.
You may need to check the Ownership and Permission on the ~/Library itself (you can do the same Get Info on Folders as well as Files)
If you don't Own it then, when you have changed that also Apply to Contents.

I keep getting a message from Tme warner that I need to reboot and contact you...

I can't go to any websites and keep getting this message above...

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Is Tme warner your ISP? What does the message actually say?
Do other programs you have access the web okay?

Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
Check the settings.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

My printer works great but I keep getting error messages from HP Solutions Center

I'm using an HP Officejet J6480 All in One Printer on a Windows 7 64 Bit machine. The printer works great but I kept getting error messages from the HP Solutions Center every 15 seconds that popped up making it impossible to do work on my laptop so I uninstalled the Solutions Center to try to fix the problem. Now the printer won't print. Is there a way to re-install the Solutions Center and get rid of the pop up error messages?

Why do I keep getting duplicate messages from IMAP

I have several different gmail accounts, but on one account I get some messages twice, others only once.
I have contacted the primary sender, to make sure they only have one account for me.
Do I have something set to pull things down more than once? Original & duplicate always come in together.

My first inclination is to answer your question --- yes - something is going wrong! I'm sure more specific information will be needed to help you.
Are you getting a specific message? An error code number? Can you describe exactly what you are doing when you get the message?

With an iPad do you need to cover it with an antivirus cover as I keep getting a message from Skype that I'm not covered

With an iPad do I need to buy an anti virus to cover the iPad as I keep getting messages from Skype telling me I'm not covered?.

Those skype messages are spam. iPads do not need anti-virus because, as of now, there is no known virus for the iPad. (and know that a 'virus' has a very specific definition....a program that spreads itself by moving from file to file within your device, 'contaminating' one program after another.....the 'sandbox' nature of the iPad keeps different programs/apps from talking to each other, thus a virus, by that defintion, cannot spread)
That said the iPad is vulnerable to browser hijacks and redirects and forms of malware....but all those do require the user to do something to help them spread.
That skype ad, are you using some sort of free app? Often 'free' apps come at the price of you getting ads like that. Also, if you're using safari and you're seeing some sort of popup ad for that skype anti-virus it wn't install on your iPad since the application thinks you're on a comptuer and it will install that junk on your computer but won't run on the iPad's operating system.
Chances are that message from skype is either spam or phishing or some sort of malwere wanting you to tap 'yes' so it can try to install.

I keep getting a message from Norton Security that there is an intrusion that is being blocked. The intrusion is always accompanied by this message 'the attack was resulted from /device/harddiskvolume2/programfiles/mozillafoxfire/foxfire.exe. Why is this

I keep getting messages from Norton security that there has been an attack that has been blocked. It is accompanied by the message that 'the attack was resulted from device/harddiskvolume2/programfiles/mozillafoxfire/foxfire.exe Why is this happening so frequently? Also I was getting a message every time I closed my browser window that Firefox had crashed (even though it had not), and it wanted to send a message to Mozilla.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Two days ago

I did some searching and found http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/repeated-quot-intrusion-attempt-quot-alerts-from-Norton-AV-2010/m-p/232823
Maybe that will help? Did you come across a website that said was scanning your computer for viruses? Those websites are really attack sites.
