New to Mac-- Security Certificates and facebook photo uploader question

Hi all,
I'm new to Mac and really have to idea how to fix my problems, so please bear with me as I ask what may be a dumb question.
I was attempting to upload a photo into a pre-existing album on facebook. Because the album was created before I switched to Mac, I did not use iPhoto to publish it, and attempted to use the Facebook photo uploader. On my PC, it would ask to download the Facebook photo-installer add-on, which would then be deleted and need be be reinstalled if I cleared my internet explorer history fully (Maybe this is why PCs are far less stable...but I digress)
When I navigated to the photo uploader, I received a message from Java that something was wrong with the security certificate of the application. I clicked "don't trust" because the other options were "trust" and "show certificate"...it all happened so fast, I don't remember the exact language, and I wanted to keep my Mac as stable as possible. Now, the photo uploader is nothing but a red "X" in the upper left corner of where the application should be
I reset all of my Java defaults. I reset Safari (deleted history and all that, by doing Safari-->reset Safari) I don't know what else to do and I don't want to accept that I did something irreversible within a week of having my new computer...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

  • I Start a New am so frustrated with problems syncing photos on my iPad. I choose which files to sync but get deleted photos in my albums, my photos are in the wrong albums and the weirdest of all- I now have strange graphics and Facebook photos in albums!

    I have spent several hours trying to find a solution to the following problems. After syncing my IPad with ITunes, I end up with photos that I previously deleted in my albums, duplicate photos, albums that have wrong pictures in them and weirdest of all, strange graphics and Facebook photos that are not even mine. Right now I hate this thing!
    I have scanned the support forums, Googled it, deleted several photo caches, spent days editing my photo files, checked the specific folders I wanted to sync and it seems like it's not syncing, just adding the same photos and strange crap that it already had on it. Oh please help me!
    Thanks!

    OK....I'm stumped.  The message you are seeing is typically there to protect someone from syncing with a different computer/iTunes account.  Is there any way anyone else has used your iPad and possibly connected it to their computer?

    There are so many things wrong with this VI, I'm not even sure where to start.
    Hard-coding paths that point to your user folder on the block diagram. What if somebody else tries to run it? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on Windows 7? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on a Mac or Linux? They'll get an error.
    Not using Read From Spreadsheet File.
    Use of local variables to populate an array.
    Cannot insert values into an empty array.
    What if there's a line missing from the text file? Now your data will not line up. Your case structure does handle this.
    Also, how does this answer the poster's question?

    I caught my phone 4. Had to buy a new one, lost all contacts, and calendar photos. how can I recover them?

    What does "I caught my phone 4" mean?
    All contacts, calendars, photos etc should be on your computer as the iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.
    Just sync them to your new iphone.

    Did you do a font check in Font Book?
    Be aware that a default encoding of UTF-16 as shows in your screenshot may lead to problems.<br />
    The default is Western (ISO-8859-1) and you should change the default encoding to that setting unless you have changed that deliberately to UTF-16 for specific web pages, but even in that case it is better to make the change via View > Character Encoding or set Auto-Detect to Universal or UTF-16.

  • Safari crashes when trying to use facebook photo upload

    I have been using facebook photo upload from Iphoto with out any problems. Tonight I tried it and it shuts down safari happened a couple of times but it corrupted my whole photo library and now Iphoto shows the measage that it is totally corupted and unusable. Any one got any ideas to get it working and to recover photos

    Hello cap:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    Please post your iPhoto question in the iPhoto forum. There are ways to recover, I think, but I am not an iPhoto "expert." Photos are precious and I think you will get the best guidance for possible recovery in the iPhoto forum. There are some real experts there.

  • If I reset my Mac's PRAM and NVRAM because the question mark in starting up  . Will that earase anything ?

    If I reset my Mac's PRAM and NVRAM because the question mark in starting up  . Will that earase anything ?

    Hold the option key down and boot your computer, a row of icons appears, select your OS X and click the arrow
    Once in, head to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select yours, this will tell the firmware again what your supposed to boot from.
    If that doesn't work, then run through this list of fixes

  • HT201406 I purchased a new iPad 3. When viewing Facebook photos a white ring in the center of the photo appears randomly. I can move photo around with finger and one ring stays in center of screen even on blank part of screen. Help.

    Has anyone experienced a white ring ( like a Cheerios or life saver candy shape)  frozen in center of screen when viewing Facebook photos? You ca move the picture around with your finger, even minimize it and the ring is in the center of the screen. It is random not on all photos as you swipe through them. Could be on any profile photos. When you click done and go back into photos it disappears on the photo or photos that had it previous , but may sow up again on other photos . Again it's a perfect shaped white ring in center of screen. Only on Facebook.

    Not familiar with that but it is worth trying a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • Expired security certificates and crashing Safari?

    Help!  As of a couple of weeks ago, I began receiving the error code "Expired Security Certificate" in Yahoo! mail when trying to Compose a new email.  I was able to send email from my Gmail account, and have had to rely on that.  Now, I cannot even send from Gmail - it causes Safair to crash.  I continue to get the Security warning on Yahoo!  I searched online for fixes, including looking in Utilities and the key folder.  I see the problem keys, but "repair" does not fix them.  The Yahoo! one is dated "Saturday, April 15, 2013" which is obviously incorrect, as today, is Monday, April 15, 2013.
    My Safari is also beginning to randomly crash.  I just ran updates, but it didn't see to help.

    It could mean a lot of things. Basically, the SSL certificate is there to:
    1) Encrypt information between you and the site
    2) Provide you with a "statement of trust" of sorts from the CA saying that this server is, in fact, run by "Company XYZ". In this case, your bank.
    Certificates expire and must be renewed, so it's entirely possible your bank forgot to renew their certificate. It's also possible that it's not an authentic certificate and the system has been hijacked by some malicious person. The traffic you send to the server will still be encrypted, but it may get sent to somebody other than your bank if the site was hijacked in some way.
    It'd probably be best to contact your bank and ask them about it. That way you should be able to get a definitive answer straight from them. If the certificate is correct and verified, just expired, it will still work just fine. I wouldn't log in to the site until you've checked with them, though.

  • New C2dou mac book pros and secondlife

    Hi
    can anyone tell me if the new mac book proa are compatible with using secondlife and if there is a great deal of difference between basic and second 15 inch model. I take it neither are upgradeable.
    many thanks

    Thanks Linc ......you were right on the money. Your help has been awsome. I spent 3 hours last night doing stuff with out any solutions. May I ask you another question if you have the time and patience please. My orriginal setup was 2 windows laptops with XP on them connected with a timecapsule attached to a router. Hence the time capsule made a wireless signal aswell as being an external hard drive. On one of the laptops i have a printer attached to it which was shared so that the other computer could print documents through the network however the computer attached to the printer has to be on. Do you know what i have to do so these new 2 mac book pros can print to that printer? Thanks again for all your previous help. Nick

  • How to sync iPhone photos with iPad and Mac without duplicates and deleted photos?

    I have a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.8.5, iPhoto 9.4.3), an iPad2 (ios 6.1.3) and iPhone (ios 7.0.4).  I take my pictures on the iPhone and use the iPad for viewing.  I use the MBP for storage and backup.  ios 7 seems to organize the photos nicely, so I no longer need iPhoto for organizing.
    What is the best, easiest and most efficient way to share, save and backup photos (iCloud prefered versus plugging devices into the MBP) between the 3 devices without duplicates and deleted photos?  With Photo Streaming turned on, I get duplicates and it retains photos that I have deleted.
    On all three devices, I turned on Photos & Camera > My Photo Stream and Shared Photo Streams and iCloud > Photo Stream.
    On the MBP, I have everything under Photo Stream EXCEPT Automatic Import (I took off recently hoping to eliminate duplicates).
    If someone else already asked this question, I apologize.  This is very confusing.

    While waiting for a reply, you can read the documentation that was in the box your iPad came in.  It's a book about a Spanish guy called Manual.
    The answer is iTunes.  Download it.  Install it.  Read the instructions.  Use it.
