Need help to confirm that Trovi has been deleted.
I did the "about:config" resets, and things seem to be okay so far.
I cannot find anything from trovi, conduit, etc in my program list for possible uninstall.
I imagine I have all sorts of mal- and ad-ware clogging the arteries of this computer - I would welcome input on which programs (free or pay) that would do a good, safe, efficient job of cleaning things up, preferably without adding in their own shitload of adware. I also just tried to do an uninstall of AVG Search, which I assume came in because I have been using AVG Anti-Virus (who is watching the watchmen, as they say....). - would also welcome input on good anti-virus to switch to.
running Win7 (supposedly well updated), on a intel core i3 with 4gig RAM

Confirmation that email has been read
Is there a way in Mail to receive a confirmation that an email I've sent has been opened by the recipient? If yes, how do I do that?
there is a plugin somewhere on versiontracker.com to add some headers to your mail messages to add this feature, but if the recipient's email doesn't support it, you won't get a confirmation.

Help!! My Profile Has Been Deleted for the 3rd Time!
Can anyone help me with this. I just tried to login to discussions, with the same password I have been using for the last year (since the last time this same problem happened to me), and when I tried to login, a popup showed saying "invalid password". I use Safari and Firefox to save the id and password, so I know it is enter properly.
OK. Fine. So I had the reset password sent to my dot mac account. However, when I login in with the reset password, I am immediately sent to the default, first sign up page! What!!!! I have been using my dot mac id for 7 years as my login!
So, I enter in the same alias that I have always used, and I am promptly told that it is already taken!!!???
The last time this happened I had to go through the same process and I lost all my Level points - when from several hundred to Zero, which has happened again!
Can some tell what happened and how I can get my profile and alias back?
I looked up my previous alias and it is still there:
http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=306818
Thanks
Gary Sumlak (really)4181
Hello Gary,
Your profile (userID=306818) is not deleted, and be sure there is a way to eventually go on with it.
Here's what I would try:
- First, delete your cookies in both Safari and Firefox (in Preferences>Security or Preferences>Privacy), so you make sure to start fresh with no possible interference at all on you browsers' side.
- Then go to "My Contact Info" again, and enter your complete ID as it has always been from the beginning
(should be something like [email protected] ?)
- Now that everything is straight, the only possible problem left is the password:
Try the very first, old password.
If it doesn't work, try the new password I understand you tried to change afterwards.
In any case: do not use autofill; type IDs and passwords yourself this time.
You'll be able to leave it to autofill in the future when the problem will be fixed.
Good luck!

Getting Receipt confirming e mail has been read
When sending an e mail I would like confirmation that it has been opened / read by the person (s) it has been sent to.
Can it be done..?
How do you set it up..?I found something online which does the job very well.
PLEASE NOTE: I did not create this but I couldn't find the link to the site I found it on initially, so apologies to the original write for not giving credit.
Paste this into Script Editor and make into an application.
Double clicking on it will present you with a dialogue box asking which account you wish to use (if you have multiple accounts) and will then pop up a normal compose mail box.
For some reason if you have images attached to your signature it doesn't display them when you compose your mail but it will still send them regardless.
Obviously this is subject to the receiver having a mail client that will accept read receipts.
tell application "Mail"
set listOfSenders to {}
set everyAccount to every account
repeat with eachAccount in everyAccount
set everyEmailAddress to email addresses of eachAccount
if (everyEmailAddress is not equal to missing value) then
repeat with eachEmailAddress in everyEmailAddress
set listOfSenders to listOfSenders & {(full name of eachAccount & " <"Which account would you like to send this message from?" without multiple selections allowed
if theResult is not equal to false then
set theSender to item 1 of theResult
tell application "Mail"
set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {}
tell newMessage
set visible to true
set sender to theSender & "
Disposition-Notification-To: " & theSender
end tell
activate
end tell
end if
I hope this helps you out. Tested and working in 10.4.11 -
The account "sadmin" has been deleted out from under us!
We have a new Intel Xserve we recently set up with 10.6 Server. Initially we ran OD, DNS, and DHCP only on the machine while our file shares continued to run on our older 10.4 Servers. When I moved our Xserve RAID (Formatted off of the old server and onto the Xserve we started experiencing issues where after approximately 24 hours we would have authentication issues connecting via SMB or AFP. Also, when I tried to connect via ARD or SSH I was unable to authenticate. Sometimes I could SSH in as root but others I would have to go to the console directly. A reboot clears the issue but about 24 hours later it comes back.
Looking at the console I see:

Any ideas on this? Daily reboots are annoying.I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . . -

PLEASE HELP ME
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased. -
Hi,
I am unable to add my bank/card details in my apple account, every time i am getting a message that it has been declined. kindly help me in authorise my bank card in my apple account i need to purchase few apps, pls help meWhat sort of card are you trying to use ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management -
I need to retrieve an email that has been deleted from my computer and iCloud, please help.
My mail preferences were set to delete on iCloud after 30 days. How can I get a copy of an email that has been deleted ? I have changed the settings to never now but that didn't bring any back. Thank you.
No, not unless you have the email somewhere else as well. It's kind of the same thing with my devices, I delete an iMessage but if I search it in search it pops up, but I can't access it.

I have a Macbook Pro and have just purchased a GSP hidden objects game. It says on the box that it is compatible and when I try and install it it tells me that installation has been successful. However, it then says that PowerPC games not supported. Help?
No game icon appears on my desktop and I don't know what I can do.
Really ****** off as i've not played these games since switching from a windows PC to a Mac and was really excited!! All I want is to be able to play my new game that arrived in the post today. If anyone can help I would be really really grateful....
The game says that it needs Mac OS X 10.3 or higher to run so I don't understand what the problem is or how I can fix it!!beckyj3,
the last version of Mac OS X which supported running PowerPC apps on Intel Macs was Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). If you’d like to play this PowerPC game on your Intel MacBook Pro, then you’ll need to install Snow Leopard on it and boot into Snow Leopard. (Note that the last MacBook Pro which natively supported Snow Leopard was the Early 2011 model.)
The game was almost certainly published before Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) was released, so back then, all versions of “Mac OS X 10.3 or higher” would have supported running that PowerPC game. -
I have Firefox 5 and I noticed that in Help->About 5.0.1 has been available, So i did the update. Yet when I check in the About Firefox box it says I have FF 5 and it is up to date. What could be the issue?
The update for Firefox 5.0.1 was only offered for Mac OSX due to fixes for the new 10.7 Lion operating system and to fix problems in Firefox created by Apple's recent update for 10.5 & 10.6. Windows and Linux Firefox 5.0 installations can't be updated to 5.0.1 - there's no need to update them.
Yes, 5.0.1 is what is being offered as the latest version for download & fresh installation for all three platforms, because the full download version needs to be the same for all platforms due to the way that server works. Firefox 5.0.1 for Mac OSX is different than 5.0, but on Windows and Linux they are the same, except for the number.
Yep, sounds confusing - I had to read the blog explanation 3 times before it sunk in why Mozilla did what they did. -
Im trying to get some purchased songs to sync onto my ipad, but when i try it says they could not be synced as i need to authorise my computer which has been done already but its still not syncing them can someone help please?
Hello there, Gemss.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for the issue you're describing:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
Although all of the scenarios may be applicable, many folks find that the following section helps resolve their issue most often:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -

forgot my apple ID , and need a hint on my associated email so i can sent a reset password , and the worst thing in apple ID forgot password page that if you typed any apple id even if its wrong it gives you that email has been sent !! how come !!
so please if anyone got any idea of how to get the hint on the mail ( i used to remember there is a hint )If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID. Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).
