Just a MAC forum?

Wouldn't it be great to have a MAC forum. I now, it is a delicate question, but then MAC user have a tiny little space around here to?
Linux, Windows, OSclassic), Symbian are all familiar with MAC addresses

That latest update is a removal tool for the Flashback trojan.
One of the ways the earlier versions of that trojan were distributed was through fake Adobe Flash downloaders.
Why are you repeatedly installing Adobe Flash Player? (not iPlayer - that's a BBC thing.)
The only place from which to get the Flash Player plug-in is directly from Adobe themselves - Never Trust a Pop Up that says you have a missing plugin!
Also be aware that the Flash Player is not a standalone player; it's a plug-in which installs in the Library and is available for all the browsers to use.
As for what you do now?
Nothing for the moment - you should be clear.
But to be on the safe side, go to the Prefences for each of your browsers and disable Java (not JavaScript - that's a whole different animal). As Java is the vector used by the most recent versions, that should ensure you don't get reinfected.

  • How Do I Unsubscribe from the Mac-Forums Newsletter?

    Apple has started another newsletter.  I don't want it. The One-Click Unsubscribe button at the bottom does not work. Nor does the Manage Subscriptions button. They both just tell you to log in and manage your email notifications. In addition to relentlessly tweaking software to make it less and less user friendly (iTunes, anyone?) Apple is turning into just another annoying corporation that harrasses you to buy stuff you don't want. Shame. Used to be a classy outfit.

    I already bought mac book pro last year but it can't view windows just like mac pro for education. I want to make like mac pro for education How?

    First, if you have a MACBOOK PRO (a laptop), you should post in that forum. MAC PRO (desktop) and Macbook Pro are different things, so when you use those terms interchangeably, it's impossible to know what you're talking about.
    Second, even guessing that you have a laptop, I still have no idea what your question means. Are you trying to load Microsoft Windows on it? Every Mac can run Windows using either Boot Camp or Parallels/Fusion/VMWare solutions. Please explain in more detail what you're trying to do, and we'll try to help. But post in the Macbook Pro forum if you're talking about a laptop.

  • Power Mac forum hacked!

    So the recent "improvements" to "increase organization and accessibility" turned out to be equivalent to dumping all the laundry in a corner of a room.
    Socks, shirts, underwear- all just a mass of cloth with no organization.
    Picked up a new little brother, the G3 tower, which when separate before, kept most stray posts at bay. We'll see how it goes from here.......
    Besides, it's a Power Macintosh, not a Power Mac.
    Seems product line mixing is part of "organization".......
    Beyond the esthetically displeasing aspects, and the fact that now one can't see what a topic is in regard to at a glance, the top users of the categories were also hacked.
    As the top user in the Power Mac forum, I had at least 12370 points.
    I worked very, VERY hard for this recognition.
    NOW, I have a whopping 3915 as top user in the Power Mac forum.
    There are +at least+ 9 other individuals in the Power Mac forum, and then each sub category, that are also affected.
    Not only did the organization diminish the accessibility to the forum, it also diminished the stautus, and thus the perceived worth, of those that work so hard to provide support where Apple does not.
    We don't get much for our time here.
    Now you managed to make the time spent just that much less important.
    I feel ripped off and unappreciated.
    Childish, maybe, but I feel that I am not alone in these thoughts and feelings.....

    I had a theory about "online posts" in the other thread that I though would explain the problem. But all your posts are still online, so there goes that theory. Perhaps something else with the reorganization moved things around to cause you to lose points. You are still the top user.
    Not only did the organization diminish the accessibility to the forum, it also diminished the stautus, and thus the perceived worth, of those that work so hard to provide support where Apple does not.
    Not really. You still have all your level 4 points. I've never understood where those "Top Users" points come from. I don't think that is a good place to look. That is where you are competing with other users. The level 4 is all yours and is an objective measurement. Other people can knock you off of top user status even without database reorganizations.
    We don't get much for our time here.
    The satisfaction of a job well done?
    I feel ripped off and unappreciated.
    Childish, maybe, but I feel that I am not alone in these thoughts and feelings.....
    You are not alone. I'm sure you are not unappreciated. You may have been ripped off, albeit inadvertently.

    ?  Why does my Photoshop PS2 open on my Mac Book Pro OS 10.6.8 Intel Core 2 Processor but not on my just purchased Mac Book Pro OS 10.7.3? On my new machine I get a message saying "You can't open Photoshop CS2 because Power PC applications are no longer supported". I don't have a Power PC on either machine and this App does run on the older machine with an Intel processor. benrusy

    This is not new.  The fact that Mac OS no longer supports PowerPC applications starting with OS X Lion has been known for over a year now.  You'll need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop

  • When i burn videos to a dvd-r disc it works on my macbook but not on a windows/pc or my dvd player. How can i make it work on all the above and not just a mac product?

    when i burn videos to a dvd-r disc it works on my macbook but not on a windows/pc or my dvd player. How can i make it work on all the above and not just a mac product?

    Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

    Thank you for the response.
    The upgrade I'm interested is for OS X  v.10.8.5...
    ...The App Store page shows 2 different upgrades:   
    Mountain Lion  (10.8.5)  Software Upgrade,  and
    Yosemite FREE upgrade
    If the App Store is showing 10.8.5 as an update, what do you currently have installed? The final update to Mountain Lion was 10.8.5, and since the basic OS installation of Mountain Lion is no longer offered in the App Store, that would suggest you're currently at an earlier version of Mountain Lion - 10.8.x where x=less than 5. If that's the case, I'd suggest getting the 10.8.5 update. There is also a Supplemental Update for 10.8.5 and that may be what the App Store is offering.

  • I just purchased Mac OSX Snow Leopard Software Version 10.6.3 before I install I would like to know if it will still keep my documents, etc? and not lose them?

    How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
    If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
    You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
    The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
    Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
    Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    Restart the computer.
    Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    Wait for installer to finish loading.
    E. If updating:
    Download and install update(s) 
    Use Software Update, or
    Download standalone updater(s).

  • Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

    Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

    Hi DJNIKKo,
    I have the Diablo III install DVD - it's both Mac & PC install.
    But warning - many players (on a PC board) dislike the game & stopped playing it already...
    I played thru all the chars on 'normal' and started playing the 2nd difficulty, but running away (=being chased) by enemies is NOT my style of playing a game...
    Check some youTube videos & see if that's what you want to do...
    The ratio of hit points (HP) for enemies is:
    1. normal - 20 HP
    2.nightmare - 6000 HP
    3.**** - 150 000 HP
    4.inferno - 1 000 000 HP
    This is for the same enemy...
    (I have the Diablo 3 walkthru guide).
    So this game is't for me...

  • Just installed mac osx snow leopard upgrade and connected my printer to it too, and realized I have no sound anymore

    Just installed mac osx snow leopard upgade and connected my printer too, and realized I have lost sound!   Can anyone help?

    In case I misunderstood, did you mean that the 10.6.3 version of Snow Leopard was the upgrade?  If so you need to update via 10.6.6 to 10.6.8.  These updates can correct minor system upsets.  
    And ... did you also repair permissions both before and after you upgraded.   You should do this when you progress via 10.6.6 to 10.6.8 too.
