Network has been taken over by other program! please help...
hello everyone
I have an eMac and the problem is that, everytime that I am trying to access the Network tab in System Preferences, I get a message that it's been taken over by another application!
Can anyone help me on that? Is it a matter of permissions or something else?
Any useful commands or software to fix the problem?
Thanks in advance!
I have a broadband connection with BT Internet via the BT Home Hub (i.e. router), but I also still have an old dial-up account with OneTel. I have had no trouble at all with my BT broadband connection, but one contact of mine persistently fails to receive e-mails from me and I wanted to conduct some tests, so I decided (amongst other things) to try my OneTel dial-up service, which I haven't used for a long time.
I immediately ran into the problem of the 'Your network settings have been changed…' problem. I rebooted — no improvement. I ran Disk Warrior — no improvement. I then tried the idea of mouse-over-lock idea and it worked. But what is more remarkable is that after I disconnected from OneTel (i.e. closed the internal modem down) and then tried again, it worked straight away, without the persistent error message coming up. Thank you very much for the 'mouse-over-lock' suggestion. Whether, after I have shut my computer down and restarted, the 'repair' will still be operatve, or whether I shall have to go through the procedure again, I don't yet iknow.

My creative cloud subscription has been taken over by somebody else
I've been in customer service purgatory. Am feeling desperate so came here for help. My case # is 209864626.
In October I purchased the Adobe Creative Cloud for $19.99 a month (using the educational discount). Shortly after that, my computer broke, and I did not have the opportunity to use the software, until now, when I have a new computer. When I log in to my account, using the email I always use, I do not see the Creative Cloud and I am unable to use any of its features. I am, however, being charged for it.
In my speaking with customer service, I've been told that there is another email associated with my credit card. I don't know how this could be, and can only assume there has been some fraud or hacking - whether on your side or mine, I don't know. But since I don't know what email is now associated with the account (and how would I, since it's not mine?), so far customer service seems to be unable to help.
What I do know is that if I am paying for a monthly service, I ought to have access to it. I know that I have not yet used any of the features of the creative cloud - if somebody else has, then they are not authorized and are accessing it fraudulently.
I would like to be able to log in to my account (or get a new account) that is signed up to my credit card (that I have already been paying) and use this service. The only suggestion that I've been given by customer service is to cancel the current subscription on my credit card and start a new one. But the creative cloud is no longer offered at the price of $19.99, so if this is the only solution, I would like some assistance in signing up a new account at the previous price.
I'm really hoping you can assist. Thanks in advance for looking into this for me.Hi Beccabakkerwells,
It looked like you had an issue with your email being incorrect but it was changed and the issue resolved. Is the issue solved now?

My Computer Has Been Taken Over by the Matrix
Can anyone explain this? This is the second time this issue has happened. The first time it happened was a few weeks back. You cannot use the computer when this happens; force quitting accomplishes nothing. Fortunately, however, you can take a screen shot. I was using the 9600GT to avoid the screen flickering associated with using the 9400GT.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/40285585@N02/4592673729/My computer is just being a real bundle of joy right now. It's not recognizing either of the install CDs. One of them makes an odd noise and ejects within 10 seconds of inserting it, which the other spins for 5 minutes (speeding up, then slowing down), and then the computer ultimately claims I've inserted a blank disk.
-They ARE the correct install discs for this computer.
-The are not scratched AT ALL.
-My computer has ZERO physical damage.

My system has been taken over by os x
How do I stop it?
If he is really on 10.5, maybe his machine dual boots into OS9, and he no longer has that option because the system 9 system is "unblessed". 8^)
But we are just guessing. -
That's all I can tell you because that is all it says.
Did you find a solution?
Same problem over here as well, FF 7 is ok but FF8 / FF9 and Thunderbird 8 / 9 crash on startup.
They both work if I start them in safe mode with everything enabled. -

rented a movie on ap`ple tv. can not watch it because it did not download. when trying to rent it again it says that I have already rented. tells me to go to downloads in settings. there is no "downloads" in settings. need help. tks
Just called AppleCare. They walked me through the fix.
Go and sign out of your account under the Settings > iTunes Store menu.
Go back out to Setting, then under the General menu, scroll to the bottom and select Restart.
When the machine restarts, go back to the iTunes store menu and sign back in.
In a moment, your available rentals should again show up in the top menu bar.
This is an upgrade to 6.0 problem.
Hope this helps. -

If you are absolutely sure that this is the problem then you should turn the airport off.

My safari browser seems to have been taken over by a malicious program called only-search. Does any one know how to uninstall this program from safari? I am running osX 10.10.
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
Since upgrading to 7.0.3 (iPhone 5, 64gb, with iTunes Match enabled) almost all of my music has vanished from my phone (weirdly some hasn't).
Downloading it again, most of the artwork has been mixed up with other artists, and I'm no longer able to stream or download over 3G (all tracks greyed out), though my network settings etc are all set correctly.
Lastly since upgrading to iOS 7.0.1 (and beyond) Genuis has become effectively useless: it continually asks me to connect to wi-fi, and if I do it creates playlists mostly composed of tracks by the same artists or those very obviously linked to them- previously it created brilliant, nuanced playlists.
Are these things connected, and how do I fix them?I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
Just about time to dump apple I think!
