Lion OS X 7.4 Security settings too high, how can i put back to original settings?

I've been away at university all year and i've found that whatever security settings they've adjusted to use the college system, its put them up too high for things like iplayer and sky go. Iplayer streams but exceedingly slowly and eventually just stops and I think the security settings has stopped this. Skygo doesn't sign in on any of my browsers (mozilla, google chrome and safari, previously it had worked for firefox and chrome, now none of them work) and I have no idea how to fix this. If I could put the security settings back to their original form then I could then see if it was a security problem.

  • Ms word95 to pdf - "security level too high"?

    I'm a brand new user of Acrobat 9.0 (on XP system) - all kinds of problems (including major file crash and loss during 9.0  installation - more on that later). for now, I need to get started immediately on converting some MS Word doc files to pdfs - What I get from 9.0 is the message that "The Security Level is Too High".   If it's referring to the MS word docs, they are unprotected (I've checked and tried several - Word shows they are not protected, and as far as I know, never have been).  They were originally created on a mac with macWord - but were not protected and converted to windows with MacDrive7.  They show in MS Word in good condition and unprotected.  What do I need to do to get them into acrobat and into pdf format? I've also check the knowledge base here and elswhere without any clues except one chap who seemed to be having similar problems (along with serious crashes) using 8.1. Other than that, I'm mistified.
    I've also tried using the context menu 'covert to pdf' method and also creating a new pdf (blank) and inserting them.  In both cases the security message aborted the process.  Need to do this right away. I'm not technically skilled, so if someone can give me some clear instructions I'd be grateful.  - red

    Thank you all for responding so quickly. First, I'll mention the serious message and a warning. DO NOT INSTALL ACROBAT 9.0 IN AN ENVIRONMENT WITH WORD 7.0 (or any old(er) MS Word version before 2k).  The consequences are ghastly, including the deletion of half or more of your program files (including your email clients, av software and other primary programs), the corruption of your browser, registry (including restore points) and other not so nice events - worse than most bad viruses.  That's a problem Adobe and I will probably be taking a look at next week. Mean time, they indicate that they are going to add the matter to their KB and elswhere so that users have a heads-up on the issue.
    As for the conversion problem from Word 7.0 .doc to .pdf - Bill, you just about nailed it. It was, indeed, a problem that could be circumvented by going to the printer dialog and setting the printer to  'Adobe pdf file' (something a novice wouldn't think of, nor line tech-support for that matter.).  As far as Word/pdf 'printer' is concerned you're just printing the file. However, as I understand things, that's how Adobe attaches the Word documents - It does it through the printer interface. Once that setting is changed to 'Adobe pdf printer' the file is simply picked from the print queue (or before) and loaded into A9. Save it from A9, and the job is done.  So, Bill, If Adobe hadn't found the answer, I do believe you would have been telling me exactly how to do it after a few more posts. The credit, though, goes to Neo Johnson, tech-support supervisor in New Delhi.  The last two days (almost 9 hours of phone time) were spent with various tech-support agents at Adobe; but,  he was the one who finely thought about the interaction between A9 and Word and figured it out.
    Ok -that's the brief.  The rest is a little history/background for whomever is interested (skip, otherwise - not important).  The problem begins with failure to install - first, setup can't find the msi file - it was there, and I browsed it, so that was solved. Then 'invalid licensing - process stopped' messages appear. That was a little tougher and http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html  and some other articles had me doing repair, reinstall, and other complex (for me) procedures. One of the problems was that flexnet had failed to install, which was a stumper for me (I couldn't find it to download separately - barely knew what it was/did - and finally understood that Adobe was supposed to install it. After that,  I did several uninstalls, to no effect. Finally I did a few moderate and then deep uninstalls (with Revo) and several reinstalls. Things got progressively worse.  On one reboot, my desktop came up and all the program icons were broken links.  I examined targets and such and then went to my 'program files' directory. To my horror, nearly all my primary program (including thunderbird email client, AVG etc.)  files had disappeared. The folders were simply empty.  Firefox still loaded, but the tabs were non functional.  Several checks and some light disc analysis indicated the files vanished. No trace. However, my document folders and data were intact (also backed-up). I went to restore and found that all the old restore points (including the one's Revo sets before uninstalling) were gone.  If it had been a virus, it couldn't have done a better job at making a mess of things.  At that point, I knew the registry had been toasted and I was facing a complete OS reinstall.  Instead, I opted for reinstalling some of the critical programs (and because the document files appeared to be intact).  After the first few - thunderbird, firefox etc.  - I was relieve to find that they were picking up on the old settings and restoring themselves to their previous states. I still have a number of these to do - and a few must be re-configured. But that's going ok. 
    Then the saga of Adobe, several phone calls; several times the phone connection was cut off and I had to call again and start over from the beginning with a new person. The matter always had to be esculated to the next tier - more time, more cues, no solutions.  They went over the firefox settings, the adobe settings. They were puzzled about the broken links.  Attempts to open doc files (after a fresh install of winword) were resulting in 'invalid win32 application'. All kinds of problems made progress difficult.  We cleared up the 'invalid....' messages by reparing the file associations (in XP folder options) and then opening the docs in Word and resaving them as something else.  It was a labor.  Finally, there was simply no answer except, like the post here, Word 7 is simply too old and uses different scripting. The only solution was to either buy (ugh, ouch!) Word 2007 (and hope that it would load them and save them in A9 useable form) or, try installing Word2k (which I have) and processing them through that; and, then using Acrobat 8.x to load those and save the pdfs for A9 to use.  However, when Adobe said they could not provide me with a free (even trial) version of 8.x to do the job - licensing problems etc. -- It seemed like a really ugly solution.  Finally, I'm begging Adobe to give me a free copy of 8.x and in steps Neo.  He can't provide the free copy, but he asks a few questions himself.  We go to Adobe and reset some of the security settings (something other agents didn't know or think of). No dice - still can't load the docs.  But then he says, Open up Word. Ok.  load the file and then hit 'print' - ok, the print dialog comes up. 'Now,' he says, 'open the properties and see what printers are listed.'  Ok I do that, and I'll be... 'Adobe pdf printer' is among them.  "Just what I thought," he said, Adobe was hooking up with word, but didn't have its printer to attach." So we set 'Adobe pdf' as the printer and lo and behold, the docs loaded into Adobe as pdfs.  End of that story. (so bill, you had it too - wish you had answered the phone in the first place!)
    Clean up.  So, there's a few simple solutions, I think (though i'm no techie and you folks will certainly have better ideas). First, I don't buy the story that early versions of Word are either 1) unsupported by MS or, 2) nobody uses them, as valid reasons why not to fix the problem of the "unloadable" docs.  I figure there are at least a couple of aproaches and easy patches that will correct the matter. One is from the Word  side - to is to set the current printer setting to use 'Adobe printer', get the file and then reset the printer back to what it was - default.   The other is to patch A9 to detect legacy source applications and bypass things that would normally make the file unloadable, unless, of course, they were actually protected or, read only files. In that case, Adobe could simply inform the user to 'unprotect' them, the same as it now does with its   'Security Setting too High' message for later versions.  I'm sure there are even better ways. But, that would fix things as far as file loading and conversion.
    As to the installation and crash problems - those need to be addressed. Even if its only a few dozen people that might have the same problem, it needs 1) to be given as a noticable warning and keyword in Adobe documents (which now simply indicate that it can process .doc files);  2) it needs to be examined to  insure systems that have Word 7.x or older can install without problem, and certainly without harming their system.  Adobe has a good reputation and does a good job. That's worth protecting with all customers, even if Marketing can't quite see why and the bean counters can't find much profit in the task.  It's what I expect from professionals and to do less certainly subtracts from Adobe's standing. That should be worth a great deal, I would imagine.
    Anyway, thanks folks - got to get some sleept, and then get those pdfs done and sent to people who are waiting for them. - best to you all, red.

  • I've recently formatted my 10.7.4 mountain lion MacBook from 2007. The hard drive is wiped and I think it deleted to OS too. How do I put the OS back on it?

    I've recently formatted my 10.7.4 mountain lion MacBook from 2007. The hard drive is wiped and I think it deleted to OS too. How do I put the OS back on it?

    Wiping the drive does indeed delete the OS. Try this -
    Boot to the Lion (10.7.4 is Lion not Mountain Lion) recovery partition by restarting the computer and holding down the command and R keys during startup.
    If this works, reinstall from here. You must be connected to the Internet to do this.
    If this does not work, possibly because you reformatted the recovery partition as well, you will need to reinstall from your original disks (assuming it came with 10.6 or earlier.) Boot to the disk by holding down the C key during startup and run the installer.
    Best of luck.

    Hello royalaqua,
    I do think you should ask yourself if upgrading to Lion is the right course to take.
    Snow Leopard is an excellent OS and Lion has literally been frozen out after barely a year.   Remember too that some of your apps may not work with Lion (those that have Rosetta, for example) so that could mean more new purchases.   Plus you may need to uprate your RAM too.

    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

    If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate.  The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

    [file] is too large for the volumes format
    That is usually an indication that the Volume was never Erased or Partitioned for GUID partition table and Mac OS, and is still in a Windows format.

  • I just installed version 7 of Firefox and afterwards it told me my security module for my firm's bank account was disabled. Now I can't access my account and the bank is in Brazil. I MUST make transactions from the US. How can I go back?

    I just intalled version 7 of firefox and afterwards it told me it had disabled a security module for access to my bank account. The account and my company are in Brazil and I am in the US. I must have access to perform transactions. Had the program warned me I would not have "upgraded". To reinstall the security module I must be physically in Brazil because a code is text messaged to my local cell phone as one of the securty precautions and I am in the US and Europe for t3 to 4 weeks. I need to make a wire transfer during that time and cannot do so now. How can I go back to the old version and recover the bank access? Thank you.

    As I said in the other thread that you posted in the other forum, your friend clearly has not restored the iPad correctly. I suggest that you undertake another restore and start again.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Given what you've have described, your friend cannot have restored the iPad correctly. You need to decide whether you are willing to delete his contacts manually, or carry out another restore. Personally I think I would go for the restore.
