Msn messenger sent out a unknown link from my macbook to everyone on list ?

Hi all
I just purchase my macbook last week. Lots of my friend told me that they got a unknown link from my mssenger, and told me I might got virus.
There's nothing wrong showing on my mac. but I am really worried.
Is that a virus? what should I do to make sure there's no virus in my mac to steal my infomation..etc.
and will that unknown link hurt my friend's PC?
thank you so much for helping.
I am still need to learn. totally idiot when it relate to computer world.
_<" Please help</div>

I think it's sort of spyware or adware, where it seems to take over ur comp, I had this when i was using msn messenger on windows, but wow now u have this on ur mac, try using different IM software, like Adium, aMsn, see whether the problem is still happening. Yes, It can affect ur friends who receive and install the software given in the message but if they just receive the message and close it, i think it wouldn't be a problem to them.
Hey Google is ur friend

What's the best solution for audio out of sound files from a MacBook Air to both an amplifier and to a subwoofer amplifier? I'm using the MBA to play sound files for worship services at our church.

I have a MacBook Air (13", 1.7GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD) that I'll be using to play sound files (primarily organ and piano) for worship services at my church. We'll be using a QSC RMX2450 650 Watts/Channel amplifier with Community CPL-27 speakers and also a JBL SUB 250P powered subwoofer with its own amplifier. What's the best option for getting sound out from the Mac to both of these amplifiers?

if you work with own recorded sounds you might wanna have a music program where you want to work with samples, steinberg has got very good ones (so they say)... but their really really ( ²) expensive(that's why almost no one haves them), magix haves good ones too bu their more for 'unprofessional' use, ableton haves really good ones too and they're not to difficult to use (if you know a bit of those programs you learn very quickly) and if you don't get them, there is a sort of manual built in it which explains and lets you do things to start (basics)
i hope this helped, btw stereo speakers are always better if you buy good ones (no pc speakers), but if you don't think you need them, don't buy them...
so again, i hope you have some ideas now

I have a 2008 Macbook. How do you change out the hard drive from one macbook to another? Maybe I just need the special screwdriver to get the hard drive out?

I have a 2008 Macbook. I want to install a newer (used) hard drive into this one. I think all I need is the special screwdriver to remove it, then install it. Where can I get that screw driver?

There is some information on how to, plus some tool lists in the online iFixit guides for repair and replacement of parts, in these computers.

MSN Messenger inaccessible ?

As of yesterday I can't access MSN with either Messenger 6.0.3, 7.0.0 or Adium 1.2.3. For the last couple of years there has been no problem (I have to use it to contact the nieces on the other side of the world, so it's important to me) but as of yesterday morning I can't get logged in.
Nor can I get to the Messenger webpage (go to msn.com and hit the link near top left), nor can I telnet messenger.msn.com 6901 and nor can a friend in California - I'm on Vancouver Island in BC, Canada. The only error message I get is the lame oone about unable to connect, or you must not be online etc. I can't see anything in the Console logs either.
Can anyone else actually login for MSN messenger?
Any suggestions? (aside from don't use it - see above)
I did think that connecting up my timecapsule might have caused the problem but reconnecting everything as it was prior to that makes no difference.
The network setup is:-
Telus HighSpeed DSL (speedtest says 2800kbps/700kbps) to a 2Wire 2700 modem/router with the wireless turned off, then to the TC with wireless turned on and acting as bridge. Skype, iChat etc all work perfectly well.

It seems that it was the TimeCapsule somehow.
We also discovered that some websites were suddenly very slow to load. Looking at the Activity window for Safari showed that pretty much any content coming from an advert related site (doubleclick.net etc) would fail to connect and so the page was waiting (usually) until the timeout registered. How this could happen is anyone's guess!
This afternoon I tried taking the TC completely out of the picture and all of a sudden I had MSN access and fast webpages. Then I had to reset the TC to only be a backup connected by ethernet
This really seems very strange. How on earth could using the TC wifi
a) block advert site content so totally
b) do so even for one of the machine not using wifi but actually ethernet wired to the 2Wire modem/router and so completely (I thought) ignoring the TC
c) block MSN

MSN Messenger Error

I don't know if I posted this in the right section, but I've had msn messenger ( the latest version for mac ) on my macbook pro for a while now, but today it just stopped working...
Whenever I try to log in I get this error
" Sign in to Microsoft Messenger failed because the service is not responding. The service is not available or you may not be connected to the Internet "
I am connected to the internet and I am able to go onto msn through parallels on windows xp.
I thought this problem was something to do with the fact that I installed parallels 3.0 but even after I uninstalled it, it didn't work.
Anyone know what might be causing the problem or anyone having the same problem?

Hi!
I got the same problem as of today.
I am running OS X 10.5.1 and Microsoft Messenger Version 6.0.3 (070803). When i am running Adium on the same system i am logged in and when during that i also run Messenger, Adium is logged out of the system. So it seemes Messenger can connect but looses connection after that...
Any clue had Microsoft done something at their end?

Iphone 5 hacked - about 30 emails sent out to what looks to be a phishing website - TELUS customer

Woke up to find out my iphone had sent out about 30 emails to contacts (not my full contact list - guessing maybe the last 30 contacts that have been either received/sent via email). The web site isn't one I ever remember accessing (which in iteself is weird). http://dcrconsultores.com.br/pbolqlx.pho
This is a fairly new phone acquired from my provider TELUS sent directly from TELUS during the inital shipment of iphone 5's last year.
I am on the latest IOS 6.0.2....model MD295C.......
Any suggestions on how to fix the problem
Yes I have a window's PC.....but it was powered off last night when the emails went out from my iphone....also when I checked this morning there were no outgoing emails in Outllook.......

Sounds like you're focusing too much on the possibility of malware on one of your machines. E-mail hacking these days is often done remotely, without any involvement from one of your computers. See:
Someone is sending messages from my e-mail address!
(That article is written from a Mac-centric point of view, but the particular portion I'm directing you to mostly applies to any device.)
As to the iPhone, unless you have jailbroken it, there is no malware that can affect it. So it is not a hacked or infected iPhone causing the problem. You can set your mind at ease in that regard.

Link from one application to another, without having to log-in the 2nd time

I figured out how to link from one app to another.
But I don't know how to avoid the 2nd log-in.
Do I just delete the log-in page for the 2nd application?
Thanks
Marion

If the 2 applications are in the same workspace you can follow the method described in this thread (3rd post)

How can i get all links from html file ?

I tried some code:
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
doc.Load(filename, Encoding.UTF8);
var metaTags = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//meta");
if (metaTags != null)
foreach (var tag in metaTags)
if (tag.Attributes["name"] != null && tag.Attributes["content"] != null)
text = tag.Attributes["name"].Value;
mys = tag.Attributes["content"].Value;
var linksOnPage = from lnks in doc.DocumentNode.Descendants()
where lnks.Name == "a" &&
lnks.Attributes["href"] != null &&
lnks.InnerText.Trim().Length > 0
select new
Url = lnks.Attributes["href"].Value,
Text = lnks.InnerText
foreach (HtmlNode node in doc.DocumentNode
.SelectNodes("//a/@href | //img/@src"))
metas.Add(node.Name);
In the var linksOnPage i'm getting all the links but some of them not only links for example the first item i see:
[0] = { Url = "/", Text = "    " }
Then the second item:
[1] = { Url = "http://rotter.net/cgi-bin/forum/dcboard.cgi?az=login", Text = "התחבר" }
Next i want to add another loop or variable that will contain only the links after im src for example:
<img
src="http://mysite.com"
border="0"></a></TD><TD
ALIGN="right"
VALIGN="TOP"
WIDTH="55%">
So to get only http://mysite.com
So in the end i will have two Lists:
First List will contain all links from the html file.
Second List only links that are in img src

Ok i'm using regex now and i can get the links i need:
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
List<string> metas1 = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
string[] fall = File.ReadAllLines(filename);
foreach (string hh in fall)
if (hh.Contains("http://rotter.net") && hh.Contains("locked")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_general") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_anchor") ||
hh.Contains("icon_anchor") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_fire") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_sport")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_camera")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_movie"))
Regex linkParser = new Regex(@"\b(?:https?://|www\.)\S+\b", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
foreach (Match m in linkParser.Matches(hh))
metas.Add(m.Value);
So now in the metas i have in this case two links.
For example the first link is from this block in the file:
The link i got is : http://rotter.net/forum/Images/hot_icon_anchor.gif
And this is the right link from this block but now how do i get the text from this block and how i connect how do i know that this text belong to the link ? I need to add this text from this block to a new List. Before all that i counted on my own lines
and got the text but that's a bad idea.
I need somehow to get: שרשור תשדירי בחירות מרוכז:
To get the text between the ToolTip',' and the second ',' but not from all the html file only in places of this two links i extracted.

Trying to connect a Belkin brand audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV. Cannot get any sound from the laptop out of the TV. What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to connect a Belkin brand stereo audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV (Apple "genius" handed me the cable to purchase.) I have tried all the ports in the back of the Sony, and tried the volume on both the cable and TV remotes. I cannot get sound out of the Sony from my MacBook Pro laptop. What am I doing wrong???

Downloaded your operating manual. It appears that you need to connect the HDMI to HDMI 1 and the audio to the input socket just to the right of the VGA socket (i.e., between the VGA and the RF input connection). The picture on page13 seems to be the clearest I could find:
Although it's not exactly clear I think they are talking about a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo jack for the audio inpu as opposed to the more common RCA jacks used in the row just above that VGA input socket.
I haven't checked the manual as yet whether you need to set anything special with the controls other than input select.
Note, if that truly is a 3.5 mm stereo jack cables are very common. In your case it would just be a cable with a 3.5 mm jack on each end.
Update:
You will have to experiment with this but I think you will need to try pusing the input button to select either HDMI1 or PC (or Component?). The manual is not clear on this (page 31). Sometimes it just comes down to pushing buttons.

Incoming MIDI data from unassociated devices still gets sent out in 2.1.3

The problem I have reported numerous times for previous versions of MainStage is still present in 2.1.3.
An incoming MIDI CC value that is NOT associated with a device is being sent to other channel strips. Last night before rehearsal, I added a Minimoog XL into my rig. It's connected via its own MIDI port on a MOTU 128 Express. I discovered that when I turned the Vol control on the Minimoog, it sent out CC 7 and CC 39 (LSB values for volume) messages to a channel strip associated with a VocalLive voice processor and had absolutely NOTHING to do with the Minimoog.
As reported before, this also happens for CC80 and CC81 and I cannot see any reason why such events would get sent out to other channel strips if there is no explicit mapping defined.
I had to add in new dummy knobs to explicitly block these values, further polluting my layout, which is already full of knobs defined just for blocking stuff.
A generic MIDI device set to listen on all inputs and MIDI channels with output blocked does NOT stop this from happening.
More details are in these older threads:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12572359#12572359 and with more detail (including how to reproduce) at
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15483068#15483068 is still present in 2.1.3
(I've already submitted this at the feedback link (which, by the way, has no entry for 2.1.3 in it) but I am quite pessimistic about this getting fixed, it has survived many versions of MainStage....I don't understand why)
This is so disappointing.

That's partially why I'm so concerned about this --- I cannot conceive of a scenario where this behavior makes any sense --- essentially some external synth can generate arbitrary MIDI data which just goes out through other channels, and that data is at best of no interest and at worst can actually screw up the receiving device (which happened to me when my Korg Oasys was sending out CC80/CC81 as part of a program change and it was changing a parameter on my Minimoog)
It seems to me that they could have fixed this quite easily by providing (perhaps an extended version of) a MIDI Device that REALLY blocks everything so users with the problem could just throw that one gadget into the layout instead of having to make a bunch of knobs to block all sorts of things.

Accessing Hotmail with Safari from button in MSN Messenger.

I have just bought a new iBook and have installed MSN messenger on it which I use a lot. However, sometimes when I click the link to get to my Hotmail inbox, Safari opens but keeps repeating accessing the same links that always appear as you enter your inbox and goes round and round in circles, never getting to my Hotmail, with the screen staying blank.
I know there is no issue with my personal Hotmail account as if I then open Internet Explorer I can access my hotmail. It's a really weird problem which I never experienced on my old iMac.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much.

I) Go to Hotmail, Messenger, My MSN
I delete all cookies after, signing out, so I start with none, before signing in it is possible this helps to avoid the circle of errors some get. In Safari 1 use to have to enable cookies to Always to sign out of Hotmail.
2) click on the one which best describes your account for example My MSN
for me ( this is a free Passport hotmail account )
3) Log in to My MSN/ Messenger or Hotmail , I have to log in again to get to hotmail, after logging into My MSN.
4) Or you can click Windows Live ID just under "Sign in using enhanced security" you can choose to: "Use the Passport Network to sign in to MSN Messenger, MSN Hotmail, MSN Music, and other sites and services! The Passport Network works with Windows Live ID. It's free to access the Passport Network. After you sign up and create credentials, you can sign in on any site that displays Microsoft Passport Network or Windows Live ID". I have not done this, so i do not know how it works.
Logging in has change at least 3 times in the last two weeks, still I have been able to log in & using Safari. Hope this helps. please let me know since this has been an on going issue for many users. I have posted to this somewhat & I would like to know if it works. Thx.

Hotmail won't launch from MSN Messenger in Safari

[ Edited by Apple Discussions Moderator; Please start a new topic about your technical issue. ]
I can no longer access my Hotmail account from MSN Messenger (V5.1.1). This has only happened since the latest update. When I click on the mail icon in Messenger Safari goes in to a spin. I eventually am asked for my Hotmail password then Safari goes in to another spin and I keep getting asked for my password. Other browsers (Camino and Opera) are OK. Any thoughts? Do we have to wait for another update?

Hi, Lewis, corgi
You are welcome.
I do not know what this live stuff is all about, with MS in general. I think that it might be a good idea for the time being to log into MSN through Safari Browser & log into hotmail that way, If you then want to log out of the web mail hotmail MSN reguires that you have cookies.etc as I posted. so you can log out of hotmail. I do not have a paid account but rather a free passport account. If you do have a paid account, I would think you can still log in this way, as a work around, till you perhaps talk to them.
The cookies must be set to ALL before you log in.
I go to http://www.msn.com/ click on My MSN, then Hotmail.
Hope this helps.

MSN Messenger keeps signing me out...

I have a BB 8310 Curve with service thru Centennial Wireless. My MSN messenger constantly signs out by itself and I don't realize it has happened until I happen to glance at my phone. I tried reinstall and it still did not fix the issue. This does not happen with other messenger programs. We have great coverage in our primary service area - I don't see how it could be a tower issue (I work for this service provider). Our tech support does not handle outside app issues. It's very frustrating and any feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you
Gavity

in my opinion, somewhere, there is another MSN client that connects to your account. It may be the client on your desktop PC.
or it can be a virus if your MSN account has been compromised (and in that case, you have already sent to all your contacts the URL to see sexy pictures of yourself)
