Is LinkBucks a virus that infects apple computers? I have and is driving me mad

Everytime I try to open a page with any of the search engine machines (google, yahoo, google chrome etc) this page called LinkBuks keeps popping up and does not allow me to do anything else on the internet. Has anybody had the same problem?

Is there a fix for the new virus that hit apple computers called "FLASHBACK"?

Is there a fix for the new virus that hit apple computers called "FLASHBACK"?

Current recommendations is turn Java off. Generally you don't need it. Do not confuse it with Javascript which you do need for your browsers.
You can disable in the browser you are using and/or more globally using the Java Preferences too (in Utilities), General tab (uncheck the checkboxes).

Protect Yourself from the Mac OS X Java Vulnerability
If it turns out you need it for some specific application or web site that you trust then turn it on only when running that application or visiting that site. If your work requires Java be enabled then at least disable it in your browsers.
If you do need to run Java, be sure that you pick up the Java Software Update 7 posted recently that takes 10.6 and 10.7 up to Java SE 6 revision 31.
Flashback is a moving target with lots of strains (various versions, permutations) and changing all the time. So who knows what's next?

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

Why dose it says that my apple id is disable and how could i activate it

its says that my apple id is disable when im going to download a app

We are fellow users, we won't know why it's disabled. You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

2 apple computers, iTunes, iPhone and my workflow

Hy,
I am having some workflow problems.
I Just purchased my new iMac.. I also have an Macbook.
The problem is my music. I have a large collection of m4a music. Its about 1.5 TB. So I am not able to store all of my music onto my Macbook or onto my iMac..
I used to have my iTunes library stored on a external drive connected to my Airport extreme. So everywhere I go with my laptop... it would connect over the internet to my home HDD storage. This works perfectly (a bit slow but oke). I could syncronise my iPhone this way, and I was able to play music on my Macbook and my Apple TV.
But now I have an extra computer. I was hoping to keep ONLY 1 iTunes library for both computers. And I would like my iPhone to sync with whatever computer is around... So at work this would be my Macbook but at home this would be my iMac... I could sync my iPhone with iTunes Match, but I change the music on my iPhone every other day... so this would be massive donwloading...
Before I am gonna write down al the stupid workarounds I have come up with.. I would like your opinion about how I should organise my workflow.
Goals:
- 1 iTunes library for 2 pc's.
- WAN acces to library
- iPhone synces with both computers.
- No double/local files. (so not a copy of every song on every device.)
Available:
- Macbook Pro
- iMac
- Airport Extreme + with USB storage connected
- iPhone
- Mobile ME
- iCloud
- iTunes Match

Awww come on... this community is full of smart people Nobody with any idea about what to do?

HT4623 it is telling me that my apple ID is disabled and I can't understand why, any suggestions?

I am unable to update my apps because I got a message that says my apple ID is disabled however it has not changed. I can't understand what else I can do to corrrect this, Please advise
Thank you

Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.
If that does not work then contact iTunes as the other replier said

I have charter cable. i get a warning from my anit virus that an application has changed, firefox, and i have to allow or deny it. it pops up at least 20 times and i have to allow it every time i open firefox, facebook, or anything else

i cant copy and past my web page to give you better details

I am the original poster, and I got rid of CA Security Suite & and loaded the Avast! which has some great features even on the freeware. No more crashes or freezing & yes I think there is a problem with CA & Firefox, but am not sure what it is. CA was a big time hog. I also got rid of my ISP and installed a Intellinet Wireless G PCI Card & now am completely wireless on my PC. Faster by far than what I was paying $50/month for & I use my Windows Firewall.

Sync Mail for two apple computers?

Hello
I have two apple computers, one iMac and one MacBook. I use Mail on both to access the same account. But I never get my emails to both accounts. For example, while im on my MacBook, i get emails, but as soon as it is in sleep mode, new emails go to the iMac, and never show up in the inbox of the MacBook. Is there a way to sync them?

If you are using POP email accounts, just change the settings in mail on both computers to leave the mail on the server for 2-4 weeks (whatever the maximum interval is that you would not be using one of your computers). Then, each Mac will be able to download and store all of your messages.

Hit with Virus that executed via PowerShell Scripting. Can I disable Powershell on my network via Group Policy and what implications does that have for me.

Our network was hit recently with virus previously unknown, O97M.Crigent. It is a nasty Macro virus that targets Microsoft Office Documents & Spreadsheets and uses a combination of Macros and Scripts via Powershell.
How do I disable PowerShell scripting via Group Policy?
Will this raise any issues such as random application or network failures or other issues?
Can I apply it to the entire domain or should I be selective and only apply it to the workstations?
Network Summary: Windows 2008 Active Directoy Server, 75% Windows 7, 25% Windows XP workstations.
DouglasOfSanMarcos

Disabling Windows PowerShell can be done with GPO:
Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows PowerShell
From GPO Description: "This setting exists under both "Computer Configuration" and "User Configuration" in the group policy editor. The "Computer Configuration" has precedence over "User Configuration."
By default this option is restricted any way on computers.
I would be very selective when apply it at all:
Workstations - I would apply to test group of workstations first, just to see that there are no side effects before applying to all computers.
Server - I wouldn't apply it at all. I have seen too many issues when setting this policy on Exchange and other systems.
If you are using a Group Policy to define a PowerShell logon, logoff or computer script, that script will disregard any execution policy set locally or through a GPO.

Virus email. How do I delete and delete my trash box?

Have received an email with a virus. How can I get rid of it? It is in the Trash box, but I would like to completely delete it. How do I delete completely my trash box? Please....

As already provided, a Windows virus cannot infect or affect OS X, and the iPhone runs an optimized version of OS X. Since the iPhone does not support disk mode, if there were an OS X virus, nothing can be installed on an iPhone from a received email or from a website except for a photo, and I haven't read any reports about a virus or malware being included with a JPEG file.
Are you unable to delete this email from the account's Trash mailbox on your iPhone?

I am having trouble downloading the new maverick osx version and now for the last 24 hours the screen is just greyed out. I am at an apple store in London and the staff are just as flummoxed with what is not happening. Help?

Please help me? Nothing is happening on the screen and I can't do anything. I was told to come into an apple store as my home wifi was too slow an that is why it was taking so long to install.

Did you ever resolve the iCloud problem.I am in the same position and its driving me mad!!! If you have a link to an solution I would appreciate it.

TS3297 Apple ID is locked and unable to make purchases

When I try to puchase an Album I get an error that says "Apple ID is locked and unable to make purchases"

Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your iPad then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

Using a NAS as media server that can serve computeres and Apple TV directly

What is the best configuration (performance/price/robustness) to have one single scalable, “backupable” location to store videos and music that can act as a media server accessible by several mac and pc computers as well as several Apple TV within the same house (knowing that the Apple TV would access the location directly not going through a computer).

Not quite true. Apple TV can access NAS orginated stream if you share library. I have done this with GForce NAS. The problem is somwhere else. Sharing is limited to streaming music only at 128kbs. You can see all music on your NAS. NAS runs DAAP-MT server (linux based music streaming) for this which you likely need to enable manually (GForce NAS has this)
Another nasty limitation is that you cannot share stream movies from NAS.
That is the reason I have just bought Eee Box (PC with Win XP Home) and I hooked up number of USB drives with movies that I stream to Apple TV. This PC is very small and it takes very little power so, it can be placed in some corner (e.g. in kitchen when some appliances make noise anyway or in basement) and run 24x7. It will behave as NAS, but it will provide proper streaming of video (just install iTunes for PC on it). You do not need keyboard, mouse or monitor for this PC. I use Tight VNC to manage it remotely from one of my Mac computers... meaning Tight VNC service is run on Eee Box while Mac has built in VNC viewer that you can invoke from "Go to computer" window using following url:
vnc://ipaddress_of_eeebox
(BTW Tight VNC does not need viewer on any mmachine as it has built-in web interface for screen management - you just need to use browser on port 5800)
To stream to Apple TV you need to enter those keys that are displayed by Apple TV. You do this via VNC.
