May have been tricked to accepting false update yesterday 8-20-11 how do I find determine whether false update was installed?
While working today on our old XP, I was told Firefox update failed because it was a trick. Yesterday a Firefox updated was okayed on our laptop (Vista). How can I tell if we have infected ourselves? Thanks.
This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder to remove the file(s) that cause the problem.

What is a captive session and a crash reporter? I think my phone"s security may have been compromised.
ok thank you. I was talking to a IT security forensics person and they told me that there is a devise that plugs into your charging area and looks like a flashdrive that can bypass your password and download all of your data even deleted text messages from the hard drive in your phone.
he had the ability to have access to my phone all night.
is there a way he couldve jail broke my phone to hack into it and then un jail break it.
I was also told that if he used a mac computer he couldve done this through itunes and there is a way to find the trace of my data being extracted on my iphone and will also give mac address that they pulled the data onto. -

When I download software updates, I continually get the message "The update “Compressor 1.2.1” can’t be saved.The update could not be expanded and verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs." What do I need to do? This seems to be blocking other software updates.
By twice, I mean is there at least two copies of the same Time Machine data? Backing up several times a day with Time Machine does not yield two distinct separate restorable sources. Only one is made.

can some one help me? I have been trying to update my MAC and it will not download because this message come up
(The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.)For anyone that comes across this. I managed to fix the problem. It had something to do with the date on my computer. Mavericks installer apparently does a date check of some sort and that is where the error is coming from. Open terminal and check the system date. It may be wrong. Another poster in the forums told me how to to check the date and change it. Click here for the link to the explanation. Be careful because the date is in a weird format.

Can't download the latest iTunes. A window pops up... The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.
Now, iTunes won't launch and can't be updated. Please help.
If I have lost my music collection I will be switching platforms ASAP. It is insane that Apple has updates seemingly every day for their products.I was in your same situation with 14 downloads and 14 attempts.
You have to make sure that your Mac is booting into 64 bit mode. You can make sure of this by going into System Preferences and scrolling down to 'Software' and making sure that you are booding with 64 bit Kexts.
If not, restart while holding the 6 and 4 keys down until you see the spinning gear wheel and try installng again.
BUT, what I also did was to go into Applications, click on the Lion installer, Get Info, and give yourself custom priviliges to Read And Write.
I did this simultaneously, and I don't know what function did it, but it worked for me, with no further downloads of the installer.
Good luck! -
Row cannot be located for updating. Some values may have been changed...
Hello,
I have a legacy application written in VB6 and using Oracle OLEDB Provider (version 9 and updated to the last ones from oracle site)
I've a problem during insert of a record using recordset method (AddNew).
The returned message is "Row cannot be located for updating. Some values may have been changed since it was last read. "
I know that problem is caused by a Before Insert trigger that I CANNOT change.
Trigger does not change any primary key values !!!. It put only some default values on other not rilevant columns.
I tried to use the recordset Property option "Update Criteria" = adCriteriaKey without success !
I had same problem with SQL Server but i solved putting into the trigger SET NOCOUNT ON.
I think problem is related to the fact that ADO tries to calculate number of affected rows and for doing that it use a where clause built on the changed columns but using values it had on the client.
Other important info:
Cursor = adUseClient (and i cannot adUseServer)
Provider= MSDAORA (version 9.2...)
Oracle server = 9.1
Trigger causing problem = BEFORE INSERT (for each row)
Thanks in advance

How can I solve this? Every time I have the option to update an application I receive the same notification: "The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs"
Can we eliminate one minor possibility: are you in the UK and using Virgin Media cable connection? I ask because the latest 'Superhub' firmware is corrupting large downloads for some people.

Latest update returns error " None of the selected updates could be installed. The update could not be expanded, and may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs."
Which latest update? Details get answers. Rather than using SU, DL and install from http://support.apple.com/downloads/.

when i would to update mac os10.7 to mac os combined10.7.4 the appear error the update couldn't be verified.it may have been corrupted during downloading....please guide me.
my type of laptop is MAC724
tnxThe first thing to attempt is restarting in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more has become corrupt. Once it has started navigate to 10.6.8 Update Combo and download and install per the directions. After it has installed if you still have difficulty re-starting, go to System Preferences - Startup Disk and make sure the internal HD is highlighted and click restart again and restart again in Safe Mode. Finally restart normally.
BTW I have asked the moderator to remove the serial number of your machine for your own security. Please DO NOT post private information such as email addresses, serial numbers etc.. to a public forum. -

I have an old AOL email that I want to use as my iCloud email but MyAppleID won't accept it because it is already in use by Apple. May have been for my ibook but not sure. Any way I can find out what I used it for in the past?
Go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign into manage your apple id with any apple ids you have access to and see if you're account is either an alternate email address or a rescue address. If it is, remove it. Have family members or friends check theirs, if they have apple ids, just in case.
If that fails...

I have not been able to install Max OS X Lion because in the process the following message was displayed:
"THE SOFTWARE COULD NOT BE VERIFIED. IT MAY HAVE BEEN CORRUPTED OR TAMPERED WITH DURING DOWNLOADING"
How can I solve this?
Note: I trashed the download and tried re-downloading but this effort was unsuccessful.Since writing my original post I decided to send the following message to Mac App Store Customer Support:
"I have had to download this file from the app store at least ten (10) times. I try to install the file but I keep getting the message "The software could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading."
I then delete the same file and try another attempt at a different time of day. Most recently following Apple Support's advice I contacted my ISP to clear the file cache but they could only clear my browser cache. I have deleted my com.apple.appstore. folder which contains app store cache, also com.apple.appstore.plist and tried again to no avail. I have wasted hours doing all this and I now want my money back please. You can keep this software update until you release it on disk like Snow Leopard which installed like a dream. I'm very disappointed with Apple that they expect the purchaser to do all the work trying to diagnose their software installation issue. Nice idea but poorly executed has been my experience."
I received this message which has confirmed my refund request:
Julia here from the iTunes Store. I understand that you received an error message and have been unable to install OS X Lion. I know how eager you must be to have this resolved, and I will be happy to help in any way that I can.
Please accept my sincere apologies for the frustration this download has caused. Since you were unable to enjoy this purchase, I have gone ahead and issued a refund. In five to seven business days, a credit of £20.99 should be posted to the credit card that appears on the receipt for that purchase.
If you have any other questions or concerns regarding this issue, please reply so I can assist you further. Thank you for being an iTunes Store customer.
Sincerely,

Perhaps I'll wait for a disk to become available or see if a download to a pen drive at an Apple store is possible. -
I gave my old MacBook Pro away and no longer have access to it. I didn't think to deauthorize it first. I DO NOT want it to have access to all music in my iCloud or any music that may have been downloaded sinceI gave away the computer. It now belongs to my teenage daughter,who has since been in my WI-FI area and knows that code. I had EVERYTHING removed from the computer before I gave it to her (long story), but since I hadn't deauthorized the Mac,I'm assuming even without the itunes password the iCloud material would had loaded onto her computer.My iCloud had somehow included personal voice mails under Unknown Artist that I did not want on there or shared. How can I deauthorize the Mac Laptop without having the machine available to do it on? Change the iTunes/iCloud password? I should now have my desktop computer, new PC (Aspire) laptop,Ipod Touch, and if possible my Evo 3D as well as my boyfriend's Samsung smartphone being able to access the iCloud account/library--whatever it is called. HELP
Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.
