Is there a fix for a virus I think I have on my SOX 10.7.3 system.  Has to do with email everyone on my list received about a week ago and I didn't send anything

Is there a fix for a virus I think I have on my system  Has to do with email people received.  I didn't send it and some of them couldn't open it.  Is this a trojan virus and how do I fix it

Generally that either means someone hacked your email account and sent the emails from your account, or one of your Windows using friends has a virus. You can check to see if your account was hacked by looking at your sent items folder. If it was sent from your account, it would be in the sent items folder. If it was accessable from the Web, check whatever webmail interface you have.
The more common opition is that it is a virus on one of your friend's Windows computer that uses his email contact list to spoof the return address of the spam it sends out. The email is sent from somewhere else, but uses your email address as the return address.

    Time Capsule error 22 - My time capsule was working fine and didn't notice anything wrong with it until it stopped backing up about two weeks ago. I never changed anything like computer names or the Airport settings. All I get is the following:
    The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Linda's Computer 1.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 22).
    I tried resetting the Time Capsule and connecting with an ethernet cable, although the Ariport Utility says everything is working fine through WiFi.

    If the light will not turn on the TC is dead. No matter that the hard disk is running.. it should only run at start up or when it is accessed not constantly.. that means the board in the TC has failed. Apple do not repair them.. They will replace it under warranty or applecare.
    If you have gone over the 12month warranty it will still be covered if you have applecare on any computer or an Apple TV. In fact the cost of the apple TV plus apple care is still cheaper than buying a new TC.. so it is a route some people are taking.. certainly depends.. in some places like Europe or Australia now, there is a recognition that statutory warranty must be longer on a product that is premium to the market. 12months is not good enough. Apple will sometimes listen.
    They might be fixable but I do not know how.

    I hate to say this, but unless you are paying the 25 bucks you cannot back up your library to the cloud.
    All you can do is back up the items you "purchased" from Apple.
    iTunes Match
    For $24.99/year you’ll get access to all your iTunesmusic including tunes you ripped from CDs or “borrowed” from anonymous friends. It scans your library to see if the song exists in iTunes’ 18 million song catalog and if it does it’ll stream it to you at 256 kbps. If your song is not in iTunes then it’ll be uploaded to iCloud at whatever rate it is on your device where it can be streamed for your listening pleasure. I cannot find any information on how to restore a library, however
    Best of luck

  • I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow.  I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same.  Yesterday, I updgraded to Safari 5.1 and the problem is now worse.  Any solutions?

    I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow.   I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same.  Yesterday, I upgraded to Safari 5.1 and now the problem is worse.  Any solutions?

    I can't stand peremptory affirmations like "Nothing is wrong with Safari".
    Thousands of users can't be wrong (see the discussions).
    If I read you the right way, it's never software' fault, it's the user who's the culprit.
    Amazing!
    In this very case, the fact is we can't give to "christinefromfonthill" a good solution because weren't sitting in front of her Mac.
    You give her a good advice which could, perhaps, lead to an improvement.
    But must also admit that Safari is a very slow browser compared to Firefox or Chrome.
    And you can't ignore all the problems which arose when upgrading to Lion and were related to the new build and specs of Safari 5.1.
    The best example is the apparition of "garbage type" (use of Last Resort font) when reading numerous sites. This never occured before and is the direct consequence of Safari compliance to Web Open Type. This standard prohibits the use of Type 1 Postscript Fonts and is the reason why so many people are in trouble.
    I use a Mac for more than 25 years.
    I am a very "clean" user who hates the bells and whistles of third party.
    My Mac is always up-to-date and despite all my Mac loving care, I run into some problems.
    Imagine the nightmare which can occurs for the vulgum pecus who isn't, by definition, a power user aware of all the requirements for running a System in optimal conditions.
    May be Safari is one step in advance on its time but lambda users are paying the price for it.

    I made an In-app purchase of WORDsearch Bible, Thompson Chain Reference Library on March 18, 2013. I tried to download the purchased item on my iPad2 but was unsuccessful even though my account with iTunes stores was debited almost immediately I completed the purchase. What can I do to retrieve or download the item I purchased?

    I sympathise with you.
    We are fellow users here, you must contact Apple or your credit card company to try to resolve this.
    In your email invoice for the £69.99 there may be a Report a Problem link, but I've found they don't work as well as they used to.
    Try:
    https://expresslane.apple.com/
    Did you buy anything (free or otherwise) just before your son got hold of the iPad?
    I've always found that if you've entered your password to purchase or update in the last 5-10 mins that you don't get asked for it again - I think this should be optional for app store purchases but definitely for in-app purchases if they allow kids to rack up extortionate costs.
    I hope Apple can do the right thing for you.
    £69.99 is a ridiculous in-app purchase cost.  Do you know what the app was?

  • Purchased Mountain Lion about a week ago and still cannot redeem it from Apple Store. Getting a "please try again later" error?

    Guys,
    I have Lion. I have software that is not yet ready for Yosemite and I need to download video editing software that will only run on Mountain Lion and above. With this in mind, I purchased Mountain Lion online LAST WEEK. I received the secure email/pdf and tried to redeem it from Apple Store. I keep getting this message: "This item is being modified. Please try again later". That was about 6 DAYS AGO. I gave it some time and tried today and I am still getting this message.
    What is going on? Called customer service and got disconnected twice (I don't think intentionally though). The third person had more info on this and it seems that Apple is just finding out about this and it may be related to the Watch rollout. Why don't Apple people say something? I check online and my order says "complete" but I have not received what I paid for and there's an error occurring. Now I am just here waiting to see if and when I can get this software.
    Can someone provide more info on this? Is there another way to get Mountain Lion? Is it available on disc?
    Without the OS upgrade I cannot use the video editing software.

  • The "Clear Recent History" setting under "Tools" suddenly stopped working about two weeks ago and is still not working with version 8.0. I am running Mac OX 10.6.8 on a desktop

    Until a couple of weeks ago I could clear my history under the "Tools" setting.
    Now the only way I am able to clear history is to open the history, select all, and then delete---all manually.

    Dear cor-el:
    I did restart in Safe Mode; however, I DID make change in the Safe Mode restart window, resetting to defaults.
    Not only did this not help, but now it is worse, as my history won't show up when I click "Show All History" so I am unable to clear history even manually.
    Did I misunderstand your suggestion? I've been using Firefox with various versions of OX 10 for years w/o such a problem, and now have so many bookmarks on Firefox that I hate to abandon the browser.
    However, I do not wish to have a permanent, unclearable history.
    Below is a screenshot of how the Safe Mode page appeared.

  • Iphone3g is frozen on the screen with the battery life showing it full but it has the wrong time. I tried holding the button to turn it off and it didn't do anything. I plugged it in to the wall and it recognized it was plugged in but it's still frozen.

    Every now and then it beeps like it's just been plugged in. I updated it this afternoon and it had been running fine.

    You can try a hard reset (hold the power and home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds until your phone restarts)

  • I asked this about a week ago and didn't get any replies.. Please help.. My macbook will not stay on unless plugged in...

    My macbook will not stay on without being plugged in. I had my macbook for about 3 years and the battery had less than 200 cycles on it and the computer suddenly would not stay on unless plugged in (went from holding about 1.5 hr charge to not holding charge at all). I purchased a new battery and this battery has 118 cycles on it. It is doing the same thing. When I unplug it the computer shuts off immediately. It will not stay in sleep mode either. What should I do? I assumed that it was because I tend to leave the computer plugged in so that the cycles stay low, but after only 118 cycles? (and the new battery is less than 8 months old). Could my computer be failing to register the battery? Please help me - I don't want to have to spend another $80 on a battery. (Just so you know, I have removed the battery and made sure the connection is good but this did not help.)

    If your problems with the new battery are the same as the old battery, it would seem your Mac isn't charging the battery properly.
    Perhaps it's a Magsafe/charger issue.
    Read through the power section of this User tip here, try everyting, including the SMU Reset and see if that makes any difference.

    We can't do too much more than that as it seems to be a hardware issue and we can't fix that too much.

  • IPhone 4 continues to display "this accessory is not compatible with this device" I only got my phone a week ago and I have only plugged a charger into it... Any ideas on how to fix? Ask your question.

    Phone is and has continued to display "this accessory is not optimized on this I phone... It flashes on the screen continuously even when phone is locked, wasting battery life in the process. I could understand if I had used a dodgy charger but I have only used the charger I got with my iPhone. And it has been happening since the first time I charged it. Also the keyboard sounds go on and off when I'm typing, any ideas. Cheers.

    Hi,
    Not that's not normal and is one of the Problems I was having before Restoring as New...
    Just make sure you Sync ALL your important Info... Contacts... Music... Etc... to your Computer...
    and then do a Restore as New...
    i was a bit reluctant at First, because I hadn't done it before... But it was So Easy and am Really Glad I did...
