I have received a message stating that my mac is infected by viruses and I should download MacProtector.mpkg. Is this spam or a real alert from my iMac?

As long as whatever installer got downloaded to your machine never ran, and if it ran you quit the installer and didn't let it complete, then you're fine. For more information about this trojan, which is a variant of the MacDefender trojan, see:

The Back button only allows me to go back one page at a time instead of selecting a previous page from a drop-down list. This is a real problem: anyone have any ideas?

In the previous version of Firefox, I could go back to a previous webpage by clicking on a part of the Back button which brought up a list of recently visited sites, and by clicking one of these, could jump straight back to that page. This facility does not seem to be available in the latest Firefox, and the Back button only goes back one page at a time. This is really inconvenient, as,
it now takes longer to get to an earlier page
there is no visibility of previous pages visited
any actions carried out on webpages are undone when going back through them - this does not happen when jumping back several pages in one go.
This is a real problem as I used to the old system constantly, and cannot continue to use Firefox 4.0 unless there is a way around it.

For me, I have the same question, this is a poorly done upgrade and I want to go back to 3.6

I opened a website that said that all of my files had been encrypted. A popup appeared and asked if I wanted to leave the page, but when I tried to, it wouldn't let me. How do I know if this is a real problem or not?

I was researching information for a class and I clicked on a website that said that all of my files had been encrypted. A popup appeared and asked if I wanted to leave the page but when I tried to, it would let me. I had to force quit Safari in order to do so. How do I know if this is a real problem or not?

It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily.
1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
2. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
Close the malicious window or tab.
Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
3. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Thanks, dzedward,
I posted a reply with quite some effort in it, but it is
dissapeared after pressing the reply button. what I as explaining
was that I use an attached sound and so streaming is not an issue.
Please look at the few lines of code I use in my demo (please use
the link above for the fla with the WAV):
audioClock=new Sound(createEmptyMovieClip("sound1",1));
audioClock.attachSound("theSync");
audioClock.setVolume(90);
stop();
//When playing a swf (in most cases) the audio clock is on
every 46.4399093 ms.
//A onSoundComplete function only starts ON a clock puls!
That explains "gaps"
//when people complain working with audio loops in Flash.
//The audio sample used in this test has a 200 ms duration.
It can't be shorter.
//So it is started 25 ms from the end. When the sample is at
the end, the flash player
//pauses for 46.4399093 minus 25 ms, and starts the audio
sample from the same point
//again ( that is at the next clock puls). That's fine for
hearing audio clock and
//this test:
audioClock.start(0.175,1);
audioClock.onSoundComplete = function() {
audioClock.start(0.175,1);

Is this spam? What is iProtect?

I keep recieving this text and it orginates from a China prefix followed by my own phone number--Verizon says it can't be blocked because it is international and they are costing me money. Is this spam?
iProtect - Your sim status has changed, it may be caused by a reboot or a sim change.

You receive this message because someone in China who has a number similar to yours have entered your number as their alternate number (without the China international code) so they can be alerted when their iphone is restarted or when their sim is changed.
I believe that all you could do is call that number and explain them the situation or tell them to include the China international code as part of their number.

My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero

My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero. I don't recall spilling anything or jamming it just that it worked before I closed the computer and wasn't after I woke it up.
I would like to fix the key but if that's not possible right away , Is there a way to reset my password without being able to type with a key thats in it?

Start by swapping the keyboard. You don't need to spend a fortune, and handy to have spare. USB cables can be bad even new.
When I had some problems Apple wanted to blame the mouse, keyboard, cable, but in the end I found
A. run Disk Warrior
B. Corrupt pref or conflict with version of Hardware Monitor and other background tasks

I downloaded Real/Player. When I tried to play clip got msg: You do not have authorization to update this copy of Real/Player, R/P is op. on locked disc. Have no idea what to do?

I just downloaded Real/Player to my SnowLeopard Mac OS X version 10.6.8 dual core processor intel core 2.16 GH. 2.5 GB. I downloaded and tried to play a clip from the web. I received a message: YOU DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORIZATION TO UPDATE THIS COPY OF Real/Player. Real/Player IS OPERATING ON LOCKED DISC. I'm new at navigating on a Mac. I would appreciate any help I could get for this or any beginner tutorials out there?

BDAqua,
Ihaven't replied because I've been ill. Thanks for your ongoing support, this is very frustrating being almost computer illiterate.
Here the link to the original Real Player download http://http://eu.real.com/?mode=rp_mac. I uninstalled all Real Player Utilities and files on my hard drive and downloaded it again. I cannot get a clean copy. The clips I downloaded are still there and so is the problem, no audio, no video. I opened up the console and it's like reading a different language, literally! I know I'm taking a huge liberty but perhaps you can find something in the errors that will help (I thank you in advance this gives you any clues)

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Where did this Spam folder come from and how to I "un-spam" emails?

Hello
I have my email account setup on my iPhone via POP. There is no spam folder on my email server.
Yesterday I noticed hundreds of emails in a spam folder in the folder list on my iPhone. When I log into my webmail this folder is no there, therefore I am thinking the iPhone has created it.
Firstly, how do I stop it from doing this?
Secondly, emails in there are from people who have successfully emailed me in the past without getting filtered into spam so how do I un-spam emails?
Is this spam a new iOS4 feature?
Ultimately I can resetup my email as IMAP but that will delete all the emails in this folder and I don't want to do that (so I suppose I'm going to have to manually move them all right?)
Many thanks for your help
Ken

If you are using Gmail, it is the All Mail label that has always existed, but Snow Leopard didn't show it.
You can disable it in Gmail's settings under Labels. Set it to not show in IMAP.
Some people experience problems when doing that, though. I did not.
I set up my Gmail as shown in this blog post: http://jeffschuette.com/2012/03/07/setting-up-apple-mail-to-rock-and-roll-with-g mail/
I didn't want Gmail storing emails that I had deleted, so I used his setup to stop it, and I also hid the All Mail folder from Mail.

I've just got an email that came into my junk folder asking me to reset my account is this spam?

I've just got an email that came into my junk folder asking me to reset my account is this spam?
It claims there was suspicious activity as there was a log in attempt from an unknown device then provides a link o enter my data, which I haven't done, why would apple be asking for my credit card details?

It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message to Apple.

I have received emails that appear to come from my email address. How can I stop this/ or filter out this spam

I have received emails that appear to come from my email address. How can I stop this/filter out this spam? Thanks

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, and all future updates will require you to enter the password associated with this ID, whether you are currently using this ID for purchases or not. If you are being prompted for your sister-in-law's Apple ID when updating it means that there must be one or more apps on your phone that was purchased using her Apple ID. (When she synced with your computer it may have transferred this app to your library. It was subsequently synced to your phone.) The only way to stop the prompt for her ID is to delete these apps from your phone and your iTunes library and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

What about all this spam on iphone!

Help! I have a great filter system on my mac and all spam hits the bulk mail folder for deletion, however, on my iphone I spend most of my time deleting spam messages manually. I have been to apple store with no success - they say there is no way to keep the spam out. I think that there must be a way! Suggestions please!!

RonAnnArbor:
You prove my point beyond even my expectations.
I said the additional SPAM was not a result of the iPhone.
I also do not think that it is even part of AT&T.
What I said is that is is interesting that my email SPAM has reached a magnitude higher than I ever experienced since registering my phone approximately 35 days ago.
You merely fortified what I said by telling me that your SPAM has doubled/tripled in the last 30 days. Makes me wonder where all of this SPAM is coming from since I registered my iPhone. Hackers!!! - Hmmm!!! Somebody selling a list of new iPhone users. Not a coincident at all. Think about when you registered your iPhone and when you started getting double the SPAM.
As I said I have been using AT&T for cell phone service for over 12 years and never experienced as much SPAM as since I registered my iPhone.
mikeab ;(

Is this spam or real?
