NOD32 Virus Protection RESOLUTION to new iTunes not exiting

I was having problems with my 7.7.1 not exiting, and it ended up being my NOD32 ver. 2.7 virus protection program. They have an excellent fix at this url for all windows versions: http://www.eset.com/support/kb.php?option=com_kb&Itemid=29&page=articles&article id=760 This may also resolve some of the other problems others are having, and if you have another virus protection program, check their knowledge base.

DO I need any type of virus protection with my New MAC?

I recently purchased my new MAC and have been using it for about 2 weeks now. Is there any sort of virus protection I should install or am I just good to go and don't need to worry about it since its a MAC. If i do need a virus protection, what kind should I get? Thank you!!!

There are no Mac viruses.
If you'd like to be kind to your Windows friends and prevent the spread of Windows viruses, search for ClamXAV at versiontracker.com or macupdate.com.

New iTunes not opening on iMac w OS10.6.8

tried to connect my iPhone 4 to my iMac and was told that I had to upgrade to the new iTunes ver. 11.11 since my iPhone is now running of ver. 7.0.2
My iMac is running OS ver 10.6.8 and when I looked for softawre updates iTunes was the only one that showed up. Ran the download program then restarted the computer. But now iTunes will not open.. Anyone else have this issue?.

issue resolved for the moment. Although the new version of iTunes was not starting on it's own with the iMac. It did start up once I conected my iPhone to the computer...

New Itunes not syncing new albums to Ipod

Hi,
I have added a couple of new albums to my Itunes but when I synch, everything looks ok, but one of the albums has not transfered to my Ipod. I do not have the grey boxes, the entires album is just not there.
I have tried deleting the album and starting again and even restarting my computer. Itunes Match is turned off and my settings are so all albums should transfer, According to my device storage, there is not issue of space. I don't use Icloud.
Im stumped, anyone know why its not transfering?
Ive had nothing but problems with this new Itunes its very frustrating!
Itunes and ipod touch 3rd gen, software are all up to date.

iTunes has "lost" the music, OR the music was "red box" explicit and someone put parental controls on the iPad or computer to block the songs.
If the music is lost, use iTunes 'Help' menu to find path to music.

Why does the new itunes not pull up my iphone when connected to the computer?

I just downloaded the new Itunes 11 on my computer and when i plug my phone in it does not bring it up in itunes. it was trying to bring it up in real player so i uninstalled that and it still wont show in itunes. i have restarted my computer and phone multiple times as well ad uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and nothing is working.

Thanks for your input but as i have said it is a Motorola V3i (The i means itunes compatable). I have uninstalled and re-installed every old version of itunes there is and it works perfect from itunes 5 up to itunes 9 then it goes wrong and does not recognise my device allowing me to sync. I am happy with itunes 9 but it will not allow me to keep it without updating it to itunes 11. The phone is recognised by the comp and appears in devices. Any further ideas will be welcome. Thanks

New iTunes not very friendly to us people who love hip/hop

Having major issues checking on the new releases for Hip-Hop, I find everything i need when it comes to Alternative and Rock with complete ease. Bias poo poo/
p.s. Pigeon John's new cd "Pigeon John & the Summertime Pool Party" doesn't pop-up when I look for it under Pigeon John on search. ***!!!!

their new cd might not be availible to buy on itunes
as for search for hip on on the home page of the music store
under new releases you can click on hip hop/rap for new releases
on the left hand side of the music store click on hip hop/rap to be taken to the hip hop/rap page

Virus protection & firewall for new iMac

I'm making the change from PC to Mac.
I keep reading about how the Mac is far less vunerable than the PC to virus attacks and other security scams - do I need to purchase any additional software or am I secure enough with what comes shipped on the iMac itself?
I currently use Norton Internet Security and like the security it gives with its parental controls, credit card number protection and the like. Does the Apple software have similar features?
Any advice appreciated.

This question has been asked about 10000 times out here!! If you use the search feature and enter the word "virus" you will get more threads to read than you can stand.
I don't run anti virus software and never have but that does not mean that one should not be prepared. It will happen one day, its only a matter of when.
Spyware exists mainly in the realm of P2P programs like Limewire.
The firewall built in to the Mac OS is as good as any commercial product available. Just make sure to turn it on as it is not turned on by default. You turn it on in the Sharing preference pane under the firewall tab.
There is some pretty comprehensive information on this subject available here:

the itunes 7.1.1.5 my ipod will not show up on my

to be done. please if anyone knows anything please
help me.

Windows XP
I have a 5g 30gb black ipod which has stopped working since I downloaded itunes 7.1.1.5. Discussion on the web points to a problem called recovery mode loop where nothing happens other than continual recvery messages and cannot download music. This seems to point to a problem with the latest version of I tunes. When are Apple going to fix this . As a newbie I dont know how to contact Apple direct but it is clearly a widespread issue

More problems with new itunes not starting

Hi,
Have recently downloaded upgrade of iTunes and experienced the same problems as a few others - no response when trying to start it up. I was very happy indeed yesterday when the Quicktime standalone fix worked and my music reappeared. However, on restarting today, it's back to the square one - no response! Am I doing something wrong or is there anyone who can help?
HP Windows XP

I'm having the same problem on my desktop. I've done both a spyware search using ewido, and a virus check using symantec, neither of which helped. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and that also didn't help. Each time I try staring itunes I get the message:
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I'd be happy to send the error report that I get along with this message.
Oddly enough, this problem is only occuring on one computer. I have no problem with it on my laptop. I hadn't updated itunes for a while on my desktop.

New iTunes not working with iPad

I updated iTunes and now when I plug into my computer I get the message " thisiPad cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install iTunes again."
But if I do that will I loose all my apps?

You may be loose your apps. However, you can re-download them for free using the same account you used the first time. When you do that it will say you already downloaded and ask if you want to download again. Your receipt will show $0.00.

I am running windows xp home edition on my netbook. I have Kaspersky virus protection. Your new 6.0 blocks my access to Kaspersky. How do I get the older level that works with it?

It blocked the access to Kaspersky and corrupted my Kaspersky database. I had to reload. Not much of a good "upgrade" experience

See Kaspersky for a Firefox 6 compatibility update.

Should I install virus protection on mac computer

should I install virus protection on my new mac

Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" (AV) software. The usual answer is "no." That answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to take control of it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. AV software is not intended to, and does not, afford any protection against such attacks.
The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has taken far too long to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. Those lapses don't involve App Store products, however.
For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, not machine behavior, and no technological fix alone is going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're better informed than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software. A genuine alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this support page. Follow the instructions on the support page in that case. Otherwise, assume that the alert is fake and someone is trying to scam you into installing malware. If you see such alerts on more than one website, ask for instructions.
☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic, Soft32, and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission. All "YouTube downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily malicious.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a padlock icon in the address bar when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial AV or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It can be as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

New iTunes, film keeps freezing! Help please!

I have the new iTunes (not sure which version to be honest, whichever was the last to pop up!) and have since downloaded a film from the apple store. It finished downloading and I am now trying to watch it but it won't go 30 seconds without freezing! It then seems to fast forward itself for a couple of seconds to catch up to the point where it should be! Very frustrating as it is the first film I have bought from itunes!!! I have since tried to download another version of itunes, and then tried to play it on Quicktime and it still freezes! Does anybody know how I can get it to play properly!? Help is appreciated.

From Robert:Lorge Posted: May 29, 2007 8:02 PM
I may have solved the problems: I am now trying the troubleshoot file someone else posted on a similar problem:
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856>
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
The batch file didn't solve it, but deleting the first preference file: iTunesPref.xml seems to have worked, what it has done so far, on re-clicking on iTunes is that a whole bunch of podcasts downloaded that were not there before (some older ones I may have previously deleted or never downloaded under the podcast subscriptions, am not sure which) and itunes recreated a new preference file. In any event itunes has not frozen yet (half hour to go before podcast updates). Anyway I recommend you to look at the troublshoot page. It should be put at the top of these discussion lists, to save us all several hours of searching for solutions.
All my kindest best wishes, I am,
