I think I've been hacked. Does anyone know if it is ok to download spyware on a Mac?

I believe my email has been hacked. Can I download spyware for a Mac? Is this necessary? Any suggestions on good spyware for a MAC

Most cases where email is hacked don't involve your computer. The typical method is by gaining access to the email directly through the email provider at their website. In addition to changing your email password with the provider you may want to implement 2-step verification if they offer it (Gmail, Apple, and Microsoft mail services as well as other do offer 2 step or 2 factor verification).
If you want to scan your computer, the following link is to one that seems to be highly recommended. I have never used it or any other on my Mac. http://www.clamxav.com

I just got my new iPhone4 set up today and it has pulled in every email that is in my desk top as being unread. Yet I have read all the emails. Still the iPhone thinks they are unread. Does anyone know how I can delete all of these at one time?

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

My apologies, I read your post the wrong way. I see now that the original poster was confused about the specs and you were simply responding with the appropriate info.
I've gotten defensive after reading the forums. The forums are full of posters just looking to prove someone wrong or stupid, rather than being helpful. I shouldn't have assumed you were one of those people. Sorry.
I did my homework and discovered that my PowerPC will run Leopard. It can be purchased for $129 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. This is much cheaper than replacing my laptop.
I hope to upgrade my Mac soon, though! Can't believe this thing is still ticking. I love Apple.

Does anyone know where I can get a download of logic pro 9?

Hiya,
Does anyone know where I can purchase and download a copy of logic pro 9?

You cannot as there is no legal way to purchase a downloadable version of Logic Pro 9 any longer. Apple no longer sell it...
However you could purchase a used copy of the FULL boxed version (Make sure it is not the more common upgrade version) of Logic Studio 2.0 which included Logic Pro 9 via ebay or somewhere similar...

Bad power, unshielded speakers, improper hardware installs which lead to loose cables, can all cause this.

Does anyone know what driver I need to download for my shuffle to work?

I posted my problem previously in "My shuffle must have transcended the time-space continuum!"
In the meantime, I called Apple Care. Great job, very polite and helpful. Thank you Apple!!
Together the agent and I discovered that my Toshiba laptop does not have the drivers needed in order for the ipod to be recognized. Without said driver, I won't be able to use my ipod at all. She said that even with the article that Apple Support has about Toshiba laptops and ipod, that there are still kinks in it.
So, my question is this...do any of you people out there who are more computer literate than I am know what I should look for to download? The Apple agent didn't know what specific driver I should look for. If anyone knows, please help!
In the meantime, I'm going to peruse Toshiba's website and see if I can find anything.

I had the same suggestion given to me by Apple... I went to my USB card manufacturer website (In my case, VIA Communications) and got some info on their forum.
The most I can understand right now (although I haven't solved my own iPod problem) is that first, you should try updating drivers by right-clicking everything individually in the Device Manager under the "USB" section, and clicking on "Update Driver." Also, make sure you have Windows Service Pack 2, and try updating all of your drivers by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ . The Toshiba website might have a driver update or a patch, also... I'd look around, anyway.
I updated my drivers (which didn't work), and then I came across a paragraph on VIA's website that says:
"Through feedback in the forums and hundreds of emails over the years, we know that technical support hot-lines for many peripheral (as in printer/scanner/camera etc) manufacturers, tell their customers to "update the drivers" or "update the controller". ... The controller cannot be updated without updating your motherboard to a motherboard that has a later revision controller. ... This is inbuilt and cannot be updated. The advice you received to update the driver or controller, probably means that they recommend that you update the VIA chipset or platform drivers. ... it may well be that the peripheral USB device you want to install is too new for your motherboard and therefore not compatible."
Basically, this means that if it doesn't work after the driver update, it may not be a driver issue, but a power issue.
I've been told (not by Apple) to try buying an external USB hub that plugs into the wall. I haven't yet, but as soon as I do, I'll post whether or not it works, lol. For other people, an internal USB2.0 PCI card worked, but I'm not sure if laptops work with them...
Hope you (and I, and everyone) get it figured out!

Does anyone know how to "abort" a movie download?

Hello,
I bought the theatrical version of a movie by mistake. I stopped the downloading, erased the title frome the downloading box, and thought I'd done well.
So I bought the Director's cut of the same movie, but then I realised they both were downloading. That means that the nice practical iTunes feature that allows us to finish dowloading a movie that was stopped by mistake is becoming my worst nightmare at the moment.
Can anyone tell me how I can stop and cancel the first download and not be billed for it?
Thanks a lot in advance. :-)
Claudia

Hi and thank you for your trying to answer my question. It happens that there were one solution in 2 steps, but nothing that neither you nor anyone else not working at Apple could have giving me.
Thanks again for trying.

Does anyone know how I can purchase or download a copy of OSX 10.4 Tiger for an ibook g3?

I am trying to "upgrade" an old ibook g3 (800MHz)
I have managed to get it up to OS 10.2.8 with automatic updates, but I would like to install OSX 10.4 Tiger (The most advanced compatible os for this ibook), But I have not managed to find anywhere on www.apple.com where i can purchase a copy?
Is there anywhere I can buy the original installation dvd, or download a version?
Many thanks for your help

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It's available through Amazon Marketplace:
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Mac-10-4-Tiger-VERSION/dp/B0002G71T0
Ask before you buy, ask the seller to make sure it's the FULL RETAIL version.
Another option:
http://www.megamacs.com/index.php?action=frameview&id=3986857 (Not a bad price.)
Also, Tiger usually came on a DVD. Some 800 MHz iBooks have just a CD-ROM drive, so you need to keep that in mind and determine whether you can use the DVD version.

Does anyone know any good photo booths other than photobooth for the mac??

please help me. Im looking for new effects for photos it take.
thanks alot!

Hello JimmyStone
Photo Booth "effects" are commands that are built into OS X core functions, so all the effects available for Photo Booth are already in the app.
For some other ideas, look in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1135958

I have an iPhone 5s and i've been noticing that my phone would go into Do Not Disturb mode at night. So I looked under settings, and there was a profile labeled "Consumer Input" and then I noticed DND was set for 10pm-7am. Does anyone know what caused it?

You downloaded a profile from somewhere. If it's not one you want or need, delete it.
