Flashback is only one possibility. See About the Flashback malware for information about it and how to get rid of it.
Unfortunately, these kinds of problems can happen for a variety of other reasons. There's very little malware that actually can cause a Mac to become part of a botnet. You could have an infected Windows PC on your network. (Perhaps because of a visitor or because you're using an open, unencrypted wireless network and have a "squatter.") Or it could be false positives.
If you do all the checks mentioned on my Flashback page and still can't find any infection, you need to lock down your wireless network (change the security to WPA2 with a strong password) and check out any Windows machines that are on your network.

I purchased addional storage for iCloud after being advised that I was running out of storage. Later I discovered a iPhone which I do not own was added to my account . How I don't know. Anyway I want to cancel and get refund. How can I do this. Try various apple contact methods..can't get to talk or email anyone.
I have the same problem. For about 1 month ago I extended my iCloud storage account (+20 GB) in order to maintain my backups for iPHONE and iPAD as my account would expire 14/10. In spite of this, I got an email 15/10, which said that iCloud was reduced to 5 GB. 2 hours later I received a new email with comfirmation on the purchase of +20 GB storage plan. However, I only have access to 5 GB on my iPad and iPhone. Called Apple Support but they couldn´t help me. Did you find any solution ?

I have contacted the police officer to contact the theif and remove from iCloud but no response yet. This has been the worst experience ever please help me. Verizon was able to reactivate the phone but I can't get past the log into iTunes portion to even get into the phone
Called Activation lock, & the only way around it is to use the Apple ID/Password that was used to activate the phone. Unfortunately, Apple won't help you. If you can't get this info, the phone will be useless.
Don't waste your time going to an Apple store, they can't/won't help you. -
I'm new to Photoshop Elements and just getting started. While in the organizer I have one group of photos up to learn with and now it says Edit in Progress with a padlock icon. How can I remove this so that the photos will be restored to normal?
Go back to the editor and close the photo there.

It Gives me no reason this message often the first to enter my pass:" When you can not buy Equilibrium - Leonardo da Vinci's Balance Puzzle " and 27other elements. Please try again later". How can I remove this annoyng message? Maybe it's a Virus?
The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement. -
I have iPhone 4s, and using latest iOS. When I try to open any link from Twitter or Facebook, it goes to open some wrong webpage. My iphone seems to be infected or suffering from some spyware or malware. How can I remove this wrong link opening ? Please help me to resolve...
I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

I installed LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it with less than 7 karakters. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.
I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary? How do I do this if so?
I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
Thanks again for your help. -
How can I remove this "feature" ?
I always use caps lock key and it's so annoying (I write very fast) ! I'm fed up ! I received a MBA 13" yesterday, but I think I'm going to come back to Windows because of that !
So is there a solution to remove this annoying feature ?
Thank you very muchYes, this is really a deal breaker for me as you say ... I'm forced to write three times slower than I did on Windows 8, that's horrible (I used to type about 110 words/min).
I'm going to return my Mac and I think I'm going to buy an Asus laptop instead ...
What a shame that Apple does not do anything for this to be configured, I have read other forums and I see that I'm not the only one complaining about that ...
How to lose customers so stupidly ...
But thank you for your reply. -
Every time I send a photo it sends with "For Review Only" on the photo. How can I remove this so my recipient gets a good quality photo?
If you used the Apple Professional Training Series 'Aperture 3' book, then this was in lesson #1 which had you set the 'Image Export' preset for the 'Email Medium - JPEG' to 25% of Original Size and to add a watermark (which happens to be the PSD file that overlays the image with 'For Review Only').
You can fix this by going to 'Aperture menu > Presets > Image Export...' and selecting the 'Email Medium - JPEG' preset and then deselecting the 'Show Watermark' option.
Note - you can also reset the 'Percentage of Original' field to %100 to get back to the defaults.
If you did not use the APTS - Aperture 3 book mentioned above, then I am not sure where you got the watermark. -

Regards
WarrenDrive 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. -
I have MacBook Air MD232 2012. I am working for a company that needs me to install all OS X from 10.7 to 10.10. How can I do this on my MBA? Thank you for your kind help.
Choose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu, open the Disk Utility, create two or three additional partitions(see below), and install or clone a different Mac OS X version to each.
Unless you previously downloaded Mavericks 10.9, it’s no longer available.

Hello lesley142
To sign out of what ever Apple ID is signed in, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then tap the Apple ID and you will see an option to sign out.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
